School secretary to face 16 felony counts during jury trial at Kingston

M M M M

A four-day jury trial for Dana Maxwell of Gallatin, accused of stealing over $150,000 from the Tri-County R-7 School while employed as secretary there, is set Michael to convene on Monday, June 25, 2nd termat the Caldwell County courtcer. See page 8 located in Kingston. house

Ms. Maxwell is represented

by Kenneth C. Hensley. Judge Thomas R. Alley will preside over the case.

Maxwell was originally charged in November 2015 with 15 felony counts of theft/stealing, fraudulent use of a credit device,

and forgery, totaling $151,073.16 in thefts. She was employed by Tri-County R-7 Schools from May 2012 to August 2015. The missing funds were discovered in a routine audit by the Westbrook Audit Co. in 2015.

This case has been set for

jury trial six times in the past (January 2016, September 2016, November 2016, February 2017, June 2017, and August 2017).

Each time the trial was canceled or postponed. Prior to the current trial dates of June 25-28, 2018, the case was set to be tried

in Clinton County on change of venue.

See However, when the last jury trial was canceled (August 2017), Daviess County Prosecutor Annie Gibson dismissed all of the original charges. Different charges were then filed against Maxwell which reflected a Missouri Courts decision that did away with felony stealing during the charged time period, based on an ambiguity of the statute.

First Christian Church to celebrate 175th anniversary June 22-24 Members of the First Christian Church-Gallatin will be celebrating the church’s 175th anniversary (1843-2018) with special activities announced for June 22-24.

The public is invited to join in celebrating this milestone during activities slated for Friday and Saturday night. A tent will be erected south of the sanctuary building, and “bounce houses” also will be set up there to enhance the fun, especially for youngsters.

Friday, June 22, is “Family Fun Night” starting at 7 p.m. Live music performed by the musical group “Rising Life” from Kentucky will be spotlighted. Pastor Scott Kilgore from St. Joseph will deliver the message. To cap these activities, an ice cream social will be served by the members of the local VFW and church members.

Saturday, June 23, is “Old Time Revival Night” starting at 6 p.m. Church members will serve hot dogs, chips with drinks and cookies. An encore performance by “Rising Life” is planned, and Evangelist Ray Perryman will deliver the message.

Church members will continue celebrating the anniversary on Sunday, June 24, when morning worship services are combined, followed by a meal for church members and guests. A photo of the congregation will be taken prior to the meal.

First Christian-Gallatin has met in church b uildings erected in 18 6 7 , 18 8 9 (w ith education b uilding addition dedicated in 19 6 3 , and the present b uilding on H ighw ay 13 in S outh Gallatin b uilt in 19 9 5 .

After the meal, a historical presentation will be presented in the church.

First Christian-Gallatin has been led by 66 different ministers during its first 175 years. Most recently, during the past 25 years, the church was led by pastors Ray Smith, Gary Hagan and Russ Hamilton.

Pastor Corey Norman became pastor of First Christian Church-Gallatin on April 1, 2017. He and his wife, Ivonne, work today as a team to lead the congregation in church activities and spiritual development.

This congregation of Christians has

worked to bring people into discipleship with Christ since 1843. Although American culture obviously has changed during the past 175 years, the First Christian Church continues its mission to preach, teach and live God’s Word in real and relevant ways.

As the church prepares to celebrate its 175th year, church membership shows 673 members with an active membership of approximately 350 persons; Sunday worship services average over 150 people on any given week.

Origins of the Disciples of Christ The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) grew out of two movements seek-

ing Christian unity that sprang up almost simultaneously in western Pennsylvania and Kentucky – movements that were backlashes against the rigid denominationalism of the early 1800s.

Thomas and Alexander Campbell, a Presbyterian Scotch-Irish immigrant father and son in Pennsylvania, rebelled against the dogmatic sectarianism that kept members of different denominations – and even factions within the same denomination – from partaking of the Lord’s Supper together. Walter Scott, an immigrant from Scotland, was a successful evangelist of the resulting Campbell movement as it separated from the Baptists.

Barton W. Stone, a fifth-generation American in Kentucky and also a Presbyterian, objected to the use of creeds as tests of “fellowship” within the church, which were a cause of disunity, especially at the Lord’s table. He was a key participant in the Restoration Movement following the Cane Ridge Revival of 1801 near Paris, KY. “Christians,” the name adopted by Stone’s movement, represented what he felt to be a shedding of denominational labels in favor of a scriptural and inclusive term. Campbell had similar reasons for settling on “Disciples of Christ,” but he

Those garage salers

by F rei d a Mari e Crump

Add more stars on our flag?

There’s a kooky idea that made its way onto the November ballot in California. The so-called Cal 3 proposition, written and funded by venture capitalist Tim Draper, seems like a long shot.

But so were Brexit and the election of Donald Trump for president.

Draper’s proposal would have the state of California redefined as three separate states: California, South California and North California. The motivation? Representation.

Right now, 39.5 million citizens living in California are represented by two U.S. Senators — so, some Californians argue they only have the same influence in the Senate as the 579,000 people living in Wyoming. So, if voters approve, the idea is to hand six Senators to what is California now, rather than keeping with just two.

Silly me, I thought ideas about states pursuing their own ways were settled during the Civil War (1861-65) ...although, granted, this is a new twist. So, it got me thinking. What if such strategy were applied to Missouri?

Actually, I’ve thought some about this before. In frustrations past, I’ve suggested North Missouri secede from the rest of the Show-Me especially while bouncing over most of our farmto-market blacktop roads found lacing the prairie of North Missouri. We’ve got a 10-cent gas tax on our own ballot this fall, you know. There’s little question on whether it’s needed. But there’s always a bitter fight over how much money goes to cities and how much goes to rural areas.

So, if it makes sense to our brethren in California, what if we voted for North Missouri, Gateway Missouri, and Ozark Missouri? Here’s a quick look.

North Missouri — 33 counties that grow soybeans and corn, population 508,256 (which puts us right there in the conversation with Wyoming), and a land mass of 17,435 sq. miles (larger than Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island).

Gateway Missouri — 22 counties that waterfront the Missouri River plus the City of St. Louis (most definitely), mobile population too hard to accurately count, square miles not as important as the longest river in North America and I-70 — the umbilical cords connecting St. Louis to Kansas City and vice versa, for better or worse.

Ozark Missouri — who, be-

sides tourists, cares? (did you know that “Ozarks” is an anglicized form of the French “aux arcs,” an abbreviation of “Aux Arkansas” which is said to mean in the county of Arkansas?)

approx . 51 1 ,6 1 6 people

Yes, I’m writing this with tongue in cheek. But let’s play with this Great State of North Missouri with a little more thought: Infrastructure: Our eastwest “interstate” would be Highway 36 (and nobody would be talking about a toll road like is always tossed out about I-70).

North Missouri would have fewer bridges and fewer dollars spent on waterways and airports (KCI in Platte County becomes Gateway Missouri’s expense).

Our water woes could be solved by new pipelines from facilities located on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers (before the waters flow southward into Gateway Missouri, just like America does to Mexico on the Rio Grande) Higher Education: The rivalry between Northwest at Maryville and Missouri Western at St. Joseph could finally end by merging into North Missouri University. Truman State continues as Truman State, and North Central Missouri College

morphs slightly into just North Missouri College.

Government: If we repeat Show-Me history, then the capital of North Missouri might be Brookfield due to its central geographic position (but with no university development, Brookfield will hardly develop into another Columbia, will it?).

Labor: No more prevailing wage standards set in Kansas City and St. Louis to apply to North Missouri public works projects. Ever.

Law Enforcement: Maybe we could trade our hodge-podge of part-time prosecuting attorneys for a district attorney. With Highway 65 dividing North Missouri, we could opt for a simple East-West alignment with supreme court buildings in St. Joseph and Hannibal. And enlarging the prison at Cameron might wind up producing significant new revenue if North Missouri applies an out-of-state fee on all the inmates arriving from elsewhere.

This state-splitting isn’t a cure-all, of course. Here’s a flaw: rural North Missouri imports tax dollars, according to people that should know. That means the few of us calling North Missouri home actually use up more tax revenue for various services than we pay in taxes. But at least the debate over gun control will end, replaced by whether or not gun racks for pickups should be required, standard equipment at dealerships in North Missouri.

The best part of this idea? We wouldn’t have to listen anymore to the political jabs between candidates Claire McCaskill and Josh Hawley for U.S. Senate. The winner would represent Gateway Missouri, not us. And, hopefully, future election brawls would be confined to those continuously simmering between Kansas City and St. Louis.

See? There’s much to be said for every little nook and cranny throughout America to seek out their own selfish way like what’s being voted in California this fall. And if the squabbling and finger-pointing doesn’t subside, well, perhaps you can just divide things up again. Our society seems to be very good at being divisive, gouging each other while seeking separate ways.

Leave it to the West Coast Californians to lead us down this path of new confusion.

Hey, if the idea gets traction, how many more stars will be added to the American flag before whatever’s left “united” implodes?

Greetings from the Poosey.

‘Tis the season but I’m not sure I’m quite up to it any longer. Time was there was nothing I enjoyed more than a sunny Saturday morning of visiting the various yard sales in our surrounding neighborhoods. It was good to chat with neighbors and new friends on their friendly, knickknack-strewn lawns, and more often that not it was the pleasant chats and greetings even more than the card-table bargains that gave the day of garage and yard sales a lift. It was a treat and a totally human experience. That was then, but this is now.

The former friendly fellowship of cruising from sale to sale has been replaced by a whole new generation of buyers and to tell the truth, some of these people scare me. I don’t think that the phenomenon has been studied but I’ve been able to classify a few of the more prominent types. Like...

THE BLITZ BOMBER. This gal doesn’t shop so much as she attacks. Give her four hours, a three county area and a tank full of gas, and she’ll manage to carpet bomb every garage sale within range of her dual weapons of checkbook and clipped classified ads. Some of the more easygoing members of the yard sale profession skip idly from yard to yard with little thought of planning. Such is not the case with the Blitz Bomber who on a given Saturday morning will have been mapping out and strategizing her attack since the publication of Thursday’s newspaper. She knows all the shortcuts and her years of battle on the trail have given her a sixth sense when it comes to knowing which garages hold the choicest treasures and thus must be hit first and quickly before the common peasants arrive. The BB takes no hostages. It’s kill or be killed in the bargain bagging world and she has little remorse for those poor souls who simply poke along from sale to sale with no definite plan in mind. Some yard sale denizens take their children or grandchildren along for a pleasant morning of hunting and bonding. The Blitz Bomber’s children won’t even get in the car with her once she gets the yard sale look in her eyes. They know better than to mess with mama when there are bargains to be had. On the other hand there’s …

THE IDLE BROWSER. The IB believes that life is to be lived and if she happens to pick up a bargain along the way then that’s just frosting on the cake. She’ll slowly cruise up to a promising curb and take her time looking things over before entering the fray. While the Blitz Bomber has never paid the asking price for any item, the Idle Browser would think of trying to talk a neighbor down from the outrageous price of fifteen cents for a fly swatter. She’s long ago convinced herself that people are honest and she takes them at their word while the BB knows that everyone is out to get her and so she must attack before she’s defeated by an overpriced coffee cup. The IB may spend the better part of a morning at a single yard sale if the company is inviting and the bugs aren’t too bad. In fact, she’s been known to spend an hour in a newly mowed yard simply chatting without purchasing a single dishtowel. There have even been a few instances when the Idle Browser has slipped a donation in the collection jar simply because she’s had such a good time talking to the assembled buyers.

And, of course, there are various subtypes in the yard sale genre, species that are more rare in the bargain world but very much a part of the landscape, like...

THE ACADEMY AWARD COUPLE. Mr. and Mrs. AAC have a carefully rehearsed routine when considering the purchase of the more expensive items at yard sales. She professes a love for the item in question while he claims that the thing is vastly overpriced.

They’ve honed their act to reach a loud enough climax to cause the item’s owner to rush over and offer to lower the price just to avoid the scene that’s beginning to drive customers away.

THE TIGHT-FISTED FINGERER has been going to yard sales for over thirty years and to anyone’s knowledge has never purchased a thing, but she does like to turn them over. Her fingerprints are everywhere.

THE SNEAK SPOUSE BARGAINER is nearly always a husband who had to help carry everything out onto the lawn that morning and he has no intention of hauling it back in. If you stand near him he’ll practically give away anything including his in-laws and his wife’s cat.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Words from our new governor, Mike Parson

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Missouri’s new Governor Mike Parson has already traveled across the state meeting with community leaders and citizens in about a dozen cities to introduce himself and receive feedback from the people. But before that, on June 11, he kicked off his tenure with a speech at the capitol to the Missouri House and Senate.

Since not everyone at home heard it, I thought you might like to know what he said. Here is the meat of his speech.

“I stand before you at a difficult time for our state. During this time, we have witnessed politics at its worst and at its best.

We have been divided, and we have been united. Missouri has risen to the occasion, as we always do.”

“Today is a time for a fresh start for our state and to recommit ourselves – each and every one of us, including you in the galleries – we must work together for a better Missouri! We faced difficult truths; we made tough decisions; we persevered because our institutions are strong, and the people of Missouri are stronger.”

“Over the last 200 years, more than

7,000 Missourians have been elected to a state legislative or constitutional office.

These were honorable men and women who temporarily put aside their personal obligations, traveled to the seat of government, and took an oath to do the people’s businesses. And like so many of you, most were not looking to build a career. They were not here for fame or glory or notoriety. They placed their names on the ballot, staked out positions on issues, endured the inevitable attacks that come with campaigning, and walked into this building because they were called to be a public servant.”

“Our job is to continue that tradition, which is the framework to be able to live the American Dream and ensure it exists for the next generation. And our job is also to honor the memory of those who have come before, and to applaud those yet to come who will leave their permanent mark on our great state of Missouri.”

“What you do during your brief time in the legislature matters. It matters to the student and the teacher. It matters to the truck driver and the small business own-

er. It matters to the police officer and the prisoner. It matters to the worker and the employer. It matters to the nurse and the farmer. But it’s not just the votes you cast or the bills that are signed. It’s how we respect the institution that has temporarily been entrusted to our care. We are expected to debate passionately for what we believe – but we must be careful not to erode the public’s trust in our system of government for short-term personal gain.”

“Today, in this chamber, we have the opportunity for a fresh start; to elevate the tone of our political discourse; to recommit ourselves to the values that made our system of government the envy of the world. This does not mean disregarding our beliefs or moderating our positions.

It means debating with respect. It means conducting ourselves with integrity. It means unifying around the idea that no matter which party we belong to each of us is here for the same reason: to make Missouri a better place.”

“Too many people have come to believe that dysfunction and inaction are the normal conditions of government. But over

the past few months, you — the members of the Missouri General Assembly — have proven that effective leadership is possible. You completed one of the most historic legislative sessions in recent memory.

Not enough has been said about it. Your many legislative achievements include significant tax reform for Missourians, record education funding for our students, government union reform, a responsible, balanced budget, and many other reforms that made government smaller, more efficient, and more effective for Missourians.

This is how government should work, and this is the people’s government and we — all of us in this room — can ensure that it continues to work in the years ahead.”

“As we move forward, together, I pledge that I will spend every day working to make our state stronger and more prosperous. I promise that the welfare of the people will be my guiding principle and sole consideration. And I will never forget that public service is, first and foremost, about serving Missourians. I hope that each of you will join me. “May God bless you …and may God bless Missouri.”

Congress and the administration are also working together to modernize the VA. In May, the Trump administration signed a contract with Cerner, headquartered in Kansas City, that will require the VA and Department of Defense to adopt the same electronic health record system.

This will help ensure continuity of care as service members transition from the military to the VA system. The Senate Appropriations Committee, of which I’m a member, recently passed a funding bill that provides resources to move that effort forward.

Easing the transition to civilian life also means making sure veterans have access to opportunities once their active duty service has ended. As a member of the bipartisan Congressional Veterans Job Caucus, one of the measures I was proud to introduce and get signed into law was the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing Veterans (HIRE Vets) Act. The HIRE Vets Act established a national standard to help veterans narrow down their employment options and focus their jobsearch efforts on the companies that recognize the value their military service will bring to the job and will provide a long-term career path.

Youth hurt when flatbed overturns Caleb Baker, 11, Ridgeway, received minor injuries in an accident that happened in Daviess County at about 8:25 a.m. on June 15.

According to the highway patrol, James Baker, 31, Ridgeway, was northbound on Route AA. Three miles west of Old Pattonsburg, he pulled over and came to a stop to park, partially off the east side of the road.

While stopped, the vehicle slowly began to overturn. It came to rest on the passenger side on the east side of the road.

Caleb was transported by Noel T. Adams Ambulance to Cameron Regional Medical Center.

He was wearing his seat belt.

The flatbed was totaled.

The accident was investigated by Cpl. P.M. Kimball.

Arthur Taul Crowder State Park was the site of the Taul reunion on June 9. Families from Nevada, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri attended. Photos and memories were shared. Children played the Swan Wrap game and made slime under the direction of Jena Hunter.

Arthur Thomas Taul (born 1747) settled in Maryland. The Tauls then moved to Kentucky and traveled west. Arthur Thomas Taul had six sons: Benjamin (1771), Pentecost (1774), Jonothan (1776), Levi (1779), Samuel (1781), Micah (1785).

Local family members from the Benjamin and Levi Taul family were Betty and Harvey Tucker of St. Joseph, Eugene and Irene Taul of Gallatin, Jenny and Jason Hunter, Libby Fewins, Jena, Dillon, and Tyson Hunter, and Dorothy Taul all of Trenton.

Compassus nurse assistant recognized

Class of 1983 holds 35th class reunion with 12 attending The Gallatin High School Class of 1983 held their 35th class reunion at Washington Street Food and Drink in Cameron on May 26. The classmates that attended are pictured left to right, front row, Bill Clark, Jr., Delmond Lowe, Mike Rogers; back row, Robyn (Reeds) Walser, Paula (Kelley) Weaver, Tracy (Hogan) Carder, Angela (Turner) Johnson, Carla (Bradley) Wood-Feigly, Doris (Wood) Adwell, Tracy (Wood) Michael, Candy (Walton) Hughes, Angie (Hamilton) Conover. The class sponsor, Mark Hutton, also attended.

Post office recognizes Hoover and Hightree for service The Gallatin Post Office recently provided two of its employees who served in the U.S. military with lapel pins they can wear year-round.

Approximately 113,000 USPS employees have served in the armed forces, making the Postal Service one of the nation’s largest employers of veterans.

The pin features the words “Proud Veteran” over silver stars on a blue background and red banner.

“The Gallatin Post Office is proud to honor our veterans for their commitment and sacrifice by providing them with these special lapel pins,” said Gallatin Postmaster Carl Wiles. “We’re pleased to recognize John Hightree and Jennifer Hoover for serving our great nation and helping protect our freedom.”

J o hn H i g htre e John Hightree, a Gallatin PO letter carrier, served in the Air Force between 1976-1982. He was a radio operator assigned to a combat communications group.

Mr. Hightree was born in Gallatin and went to school at Jameson. His father worked for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), which later became known as the Farm Service Agency. Mr. Hightree attended school at Pickering and then Maysville.

When his father went to work for Daviess County, the family moved to Jameson. Mr. Hightree attended from fifth grade to his senior year at North Daviess R-3 in Jameson.

Mr. Hightree said there were not a lot of jobs available after he got out of high school, so he signed up for the military at age 17.

After serving in the Air Force for six years, he worked at various jobs in construction. When his folks retired, he took over the Hightree Service Station in Jameson.

He has lived on a farm in Jameson for the past 30-plus years. He is married to Kelly Hightree, who is the principal at North Daviess.

They have two daughters in college Ryleigh and Morgan , both at UCM , Warrensburg.

He has served on the Jameson volunteer fire department

John H ightree

and was fire chief for several years. He was also on the township board.

Mr. Hightree has worked at the Gallatin Post Office for 12 years.

J e n n ife rH o o v e r Jennifer Hoover, a PSE Clerk at the Jameson Post Office, served in the Marine Corps between 1991-1998, during Desert Storm, achieving the rank of SGT (E-5). Ms. Hoover attended MOS school in Meridian, MS, for training in Maintenance Administration, and was then assigned to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS-13) at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, AZ for the remainder of her years in service. While assigned to MALS-13, she worked in several different departments, including the Maintenance Administration office, Ground Support Equipment, Ordnance, Technical Publications Library, and spent the majority of her years there, keeping engine logbooks and figuring high-time components for

the AV-8B Harriers in the Power Plants division.

Ms. Hoover is originally from Eagleville, graduated from North Harrison, and is the daughter of Mary and the late Garry Cook.

In 2009, Ms. Hoover moved to the Jamesport area and resides there with her boyfriend, Santana Dios and their children, Bailee, Rhett, and Tarren. She also has a son currently serving in the Marine Corps, SGT Johnathon Merten, who is stationed in San Diego, CA.

A Answer

Public Notices.

Q

Construction bid notices, published in a legallyqualified local newspaper, inform citizens how their tax money is being spent and inform construction contractors about public projects on which to bid.

Hardly a week passes without some small notice being printed in this newspaper. These notices, required by law, affect you and your family and friends.

They show how your government is being run, how much money is being spent and where. They keep you in touch with your government through this newspaper.

That’s the whole idea.

Question

The County is planning a major construction project. How do you know?

Simmons finishes second in 2018 Missouri Jr. Match Play Championship

Last week’s annual Missouri Junior Match Play Championship came down to a pair of state golf champions, one from the largest class and the other representing the smallest.

Columbia’s Ross Steelman, who is headed to the University of Missouri on a golf scholarship, defeated Gallatin’s Jett Simmons, 6 and 5, to win the 2018 event held at A. L. Gustin Golf Course in Columbia.

With Steelman up by six holes with only five remaining, the match ended after the 13th hole.

Two principals for Tri-County next year Tri-County R-7 School will feature two new principals for the 2018-2019 school year, according to Superintendent David Probasco.

Wade Hall will be a full time high school principal serving grades 5-12. Pamela Cox will split duties as principal for preschool through fourth grade and as a middle school Title I teacher. The split role of Mrs. Cox will mean that half of her salary will be paid for with federal Title I monies.

Jamesport School has seen an increase in federal funding the last couple of years which provides extra revenue that can be used for certain approved expenses.

Another factor in the decision was the transition of staff members in the middle school and high school. Staff changes over the past couple of years have sig-

nificantly changed experience level and salaries. These changes also offset the cost of a halftime principal. New teachers will benefit from the additional support that two principals can provide.

Mr. Hall has been working in the Princeton School District for the past six years as a 7-12 ¬social studies instructor and has coached various sports as well.

He received his bachelor and master degrees from Northwest Missouri State University. Mr. Hall is married with one child, and his wife teaches business at Princeton.

Mrs. Cox has served the ¬Hamilton School District for the past 18 years as a second and fourth grade teacher. She has also served in various leadership roles in their district involving PBS, Building Management Team, Parent Involvement

Tri-County renews superintendent’s contract The Tri-County R-7 Board of Education offered a new threeyear contract to Superintendent David Probasco during their June 7 meeting. Probasco’s contract will run through the 202021 school year. His current salary of $83,500 was not increased.

The board approved contracts for OT/PT and speech services for next year and agreed to seek bids for milk, bread, diesel fuel and gasoline. Bids for custodial services were reviewed, but no

action was taken. Updated student and employee handbooks for the 2018-19 school year were reviewed and the budget was discussed. There was also an executive session for legal and personnel matters.

The board will meet at 6 p.m. on June 29 to close out the current school year. The next regular meeting will be at 6 p.m. on July 11. Both meetings will be in the superintendent’s office at the school in Jamesport.

John 15 paints a beautiful portrait of God the Father as The Vinedresser. Often, we focus on Christ as The Vine and He certainly deserves all the attention we can give Him, but it seems to me that this passage is even more focused on God the Father.

Here at Father's Day, we have cause to think of earthly fathers. Since God the Father is The Vinedresser, surely we as human fathers can learn from His work. As fathers, we have been entrusted with some “branches” to tend.

John 15:2 says that God the Father removes those branches which do not bear fruit and prunes those which do bear fruit. There are some things in the lives of our children that simply need to be removed. A few things come to mind: alcohol, cigarettes, ungodly friends, illegal drugs, pornography, profanity, laziness, greed, vengeance, etc.

There are other things in the lives of our children that need to be limited. Those might include: sodas, candy, things received without having worked for them, free time, etc.

Other things available to our children require a father's constant vigilance in monitoring and evaluating their content: television, music, video games, internet, telephone, etc.

The Vinedresser's goal is more and better fruit. John 15:8 says that the Vinedresser will be glorified by the branch bearing fruit. The heart's desire of a human father is certainly to see good things manifested in the lives of his children.

Every child will produce some kind of fruit. When a child manifests love, joy, peace, diligence, faithfulness, honesty, etc. the human father will be honored maybe even glorified. When the child manifests addictions, thievery, materialism, slothfulness, immorality, etc. the father will be dishonored.

John 15:9-10 indicate that the Vinedresser's relationship to the branch will be loving and very joyful. Father – child relationships should be characterized by love and joy.

All of the above is merely a side story to the real focus of the passage. The focal point is the work of God the Father in the lives of Christians. We, as branches abiding in Christ the Vine, will have other branches growing from us. Pruning is needed not for the unfruitful branches but for the fruitful branches. Pruning is for the believer who is abiding in Christ, bearing fruit, walking with the Lord in at least some semblance of victory.

According to John 15:2-3, some of our branches are dead and need to be removed and destroyed, while others are alive and fruit producing. These need to be pruned. According to verse 2, pruning requires cutting off some fruitful branches. That can be painful, confusing, or embarrassing, but it needs to be done. Some God-given blessings may need to be cut off so that we realize that what we really need is not the gift but the Giver, not the blessing but the One Who Blesses, not deliverance but the Deliverer, not strength but the One Who Is Our Strength, etc.

Pruning requires a knowledgeable and skillful pruner. You can be sure that God knows all there is to know about pruning. He knows when to cut, how to cut, where to cut, how much to cut, how deep to cut, etc. Hallelujah that the pruning tools are in the hands of our loving and wise Father. Praise God that churches or church leaders do not have the pruning tools in their hands.

By the way, do not miss the identifying of the pruning tool. Verses 3 and 7 tell us that the tool used for pruning is the Word of God. Pruning is a glorious process as God takes away that which is good in order to give us that which is Best, Christ Himself.

Discover nature through frogging, begins June 30 for 2 kinds of frogs

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to discover nature this summer. One fun and exciting way is through frogging.

Frogging season begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31.

Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after.

The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined and the possession limit is 16 frogs of both species combined. Only the daily limit may be possessed on waters and banks of waters where hunting.

Daily limits end at midnight so froggers who catch their daily limits before midnight and then want to return for more frogging after midnight must remove the daily limit of previously caught frogs from the waters or banks before returning for more.

Frogging can be done with either a fishing permit or a smallgame hunting permit. Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents 65 years of age or older are not required to have a permit.

Those with a fishing permit may take frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line, bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line.

With a small game hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rimfire rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net.

The use of artificial light is permitted when frogging.

For more information about frog hunting, including how to get started and tasty recipes to try, visit MDC online at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/ species/frog.

Tractor, pickup collide on Hwy. 33 A tractor pulling a mower and a pickup collided in an accident that happened at about 11:15 a.m. on June 14.

According to the highway patrol, James Roberts of Pattonsburg was driving a 2015 Case IH tractor southbound on Hwy. 33.

The tractor was a working motor vehicle for the Missouri Department of Transportation, which was cutting grass on the rightof-way on Hwy. 33. Robert Slawson, 36, Saint Joseph, was driving a 2001 Ford pickup southbound.

About five miles south of Maysville, Mr. Slawson began to pass the tractor and struck the driver’s rear side. The pickup skidded off the east side of the road and came to rest down an

MD C has expanded restrictions on feeding deer and placing minerals fo ee to these seven new counties in es onse to fin ing cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD ) in or near them: Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Grundy, Madison, McD onald, Mercer, and Perry.

FEC (cont. from page one)

Cyclist stops at Lock Springs store Chris Edgerton, who is cycling from Los Angeles to Boston, stopped at the Clear Creek Convenience Store in Lock Springs for a visit on June 8.

Mr. Edgerton is writing a blog about his journey. He wanted to share his experience living with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (WM), a very rare and so far incurable blood cancer, which he was diagnosed with in July 2017.

Second, he wanted to announce that he would be cycling approximately 3,500 miles from Los Angeles, CA, to Boston, MS, starting May 13. This is a ‘bucket list’ goal of his. Visit his blog site at lifewithedge.com.

On June 8, as he crossed north Missouri, Mr. Edgerton blogs that he was having way too much fun for a 56-year-old on his own on a bike. He spotted what can only be described as a wooden garden shed.

“I noticed a small sign that said convenience store!” he notes. “I stopped and entered the shed. Inside I find a really nice lady (Rena Perkins) with a young girl (Liberty Perkins) and even younger boy (Liam Perkins) all smiling at me. I encourage the young lad to join us in the photo and also told him to ride his bike whenever he got the chance. He didn’t know what to make of me but that was ok because I am sure in this remote part of Missouri a bike is a boys best friend.”

He was joined by a friend named Ken in the photo.

Mr. Edgerton stopped at the monument for Jerry Litton (house of representatives) which also has the inscription by Leon J. Suenes: ‘Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.’

Mr. Edgerton wrote: “If someone could say what this ride is all about for me any better than this then please let me know.”

Mr. Edgerton blogs that he then pedaled happily through the countryside to Chillicothe the home of sliced bread.

MDC expands deer feeding ban to more counties in response to CWD

the Chillicothe location in late 2017 and indicated that no rate increase for residential members was planned this year, although the cost of wholesale power has increased since the last residential rate increase three years ago.

He also noted that in 2017, the Cooperative retired capital credits for the 26th year in a row, amounting to more than $23 million dollars returned to members since the Cooperative was organized in 1938.

Dana Macoubrie, the cooperative attorney, conducted the election of the Board of Directors and the election of the 2019 Committee on Nominations.

Elected to the Committee on Nominations were Charlotte Miller, Richard Halterman, John Finley, Dennis Farmer, Dennis Widhalm, Kenneth Lee and Judy Holcer, representing each of the Cooperative’s seven districts.

Fifty-six prizes were given away at the conclusion of the business meeting, plus three grand prizes. Kenneth Thompson of Cameron won a $500 bill credit from Farmers’ Electric Cooperative. Kenneth Guilford of Hale won a 32” Smart T.V. and Jim Jones of Chillicothe won a Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet. Youth names were also drawn for two remote controlled monster truck toys. The winners were Jessica Reeter, daughter of Jamie and Julia Reeter of rural Chillicothe, and Jason Ralls, son of Gary and Sarah Ralls of Hale.

The meeting began with the presentation of colors by the Chillicothe Public Safety Honor Guard Team, who then led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. The “Star Spangled Banner” was then heard.

Placing food or minerals for deer is now prohibited in seven more counties to help limit the spread of chronic wasting disease starting July 1.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has expanded its restrictions on feeding deer and placing minerals for deer to seven new counties in response to finding cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in or near them. The seven new counties are: Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Grundy, Madison, McDonald, Mercer, and Perry.

The feeding ban for these seven new counties becomes effective July 1.

These seven new counties join 41 existing counties of the Department’s CWD Management Zone where feeding deer and placing minerals for deer is restricted.

The Zone consists of counties in or near where cases of the disease have been found.

The 48 counties are: Adair, Barry, Benton, Bollinger, Boone, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Cedar, Chariton, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Dade, Franklin, Gasconade, Grundy, Hickory, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Madison, McDonald, Mercer, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Ozark, Perry, Polk, Putnam, Randolph, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, St. Louis, Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington.

According to the Wildlife Code of Missouri, the placement of grain, salt products, minerals, and other consumable natural and manufactured products used to attract deer is prohibited

year-round within counties of the CWD Management Zone.

Exceptions are feed placed within 100 feet of any residence or occupied building, feed placed in such a manner to reasonably exclude access by deer, and feed and minerals present solely as a result of normal agricultural or forest management, or crop and wildlife food production practices.

“CWD is spread from deer to deer and the potential for transmission increases when deer are unnaturally congregated,” said MDC Wildlife Disease Coordinator Jasmine Batten. “CWD can also spread when healthy deer come into contact with salvia, urine, or feces shed into the environment by infected deer.

Placing feed and minerals for deer can facilitate the spread of diseases such as CWD. Recent research has confirmed the presence of CWD at mineral sites, which further supports this ban.”

For the seven new counties, MDC has also increased the availability of antlerless permits, and expanded the firearms antlerless portion to help harvest more deer in the counties and limit the spread of the disease.

MDC confirmed 33 new cases of CWD following the testing of nearly 24,500 free-ranging Missouri deer through its sampling and testing efforts last season.

The new cases were found in Adair, Cedar, Franklin, Jefferson, Linn, Macon, Perry, Polk, St. Clair, and Ste. Genevieve counties.

These new cases bring the total number of free-ranging deer in Missouri confirmed to have CWD to 75.

175th anniversary (continued from page 1) felt the term “Disciples” less presumptuous than “Christians.” The aims and practices of the two groups were similar, and the Campbell and Stone movements united in 1832 in Lexington, KY after about a quarter of a century of separate development.

The founders of the Christian Church hoped to restore Christian unity by returning to New Testament faith and practices. But the church found that even this led to division. One group which opposed practices not specifically authorized by the New Testament, such as instrumental music in the church and organized missionary activity, gradually pulled away. That group finally was listed separately in the 1906 federal religious census as the “Churches of Christ.”

Another group began a separation in 1926 over what it felt were too-liberal policies on the mission field in the practice of baptism. More than 40 years later (1967-69) some 3,000 of those congregations formally withdrew at the time of the Disciples restructure. They refer to themselves as the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ.

Church buildings in Gallatin First Christian Church of Gallatin was organized on June 17, 1843, with 41 charter members. The congregation met in the Daviess County courthouse until state militia took control of the courthouse during the Civil War in 1861.

After the war, Gallatin First Christian Church started worshiping in a consistent location with 23 members. FCC completed their first building in 1867 at a cost of $4,000.

It was located at the corner of East Grand and Maple Streets (the Troy Elbert residence today).

After many years at this location, a new church building was dedicated across the street in January 1899. Church membership at that time numbered 512 with as many as 540 members actively attending services. By 1913, the men of the church had dug a basement beneath the existing building, while the women raised money to add a fellowship hall and kitchen in this new space.

A new Christian education/office building was built west of the church and dedicated in 1963 while the Rev. Harold Bruce was pastor. This building housed the pas-

The Lightouse Learning Center, located on the east side of the First Christian-Gallatin facility

tor’s study and Sunday School/Bible classrooms.

In 1993, following an assessment by the Board of Church Extension, a committee was formed to begin the process of acquiring a suitable plot of ground for relocating the church to a new building. Approximately 9.5 acres was purchased on South Highway 13 in January 1994. Topography of the land included a high bluff and it was covered with brush. The first phase of dirt work was donated by the labor and equipment use of many in the church family.

Under direction of building committee chairman Lucille Bruce, the Fellowship Hall was completed in 1995

by Trickel Construction at the new location, 1501 South Main Street. This building became the transitional worship space in 2004. In 2005, the parcel of land with the old church and education buildings was sold for $13,500.

Copeland Construction began building the main auditorium and daycare in September, 2007, and completed construction in April, 2008, at a total cost of approximately $940,000. The building committee chairman was Brice Terry. Less than half the amount was borrowed, and the balance was funded by contributions. A significant portion of the needed contributions came from the estate of Arland “Slick” and Mary Haynes.

Stained glass windows had been removed from the old church building and stored. A Stained Glass Fund was established for contributions to resize the stained glass for placement in the new building. Commemorative stained glass crosses made from remnants were sold to the membership. Wayne Clevenger made the oak keyboard surround from the old choir loft and the large oak cross

that hangs in the chancel area.

On the first Sunday of 2011, the church had a mortgage burning ceremony to celebrate the start of the year debt-free. Pastor Russ Hamilton, who served church members from 2004-2016, was instrumental in the realization of our dream of a new church home. He facilitated and led us in both planning and execution.

The modern church facility has fully accessible seating for 300 people. It provides a valuable addition to the community as a location for outreach meetings and events of all types. The congregation regularly uses its facilities for such annual events as the CWF Chicken Dinner and Bazaar held in November in addition to weekly Bible study sessions, prayer and youth meetings, and small group sessions not only during Sunday morning worship but throughout the week.

Lighthouse Learning Center The childcare ministry at First Christian Church in Gallatin opened its doors on Aug. 24, 2008, with 12 children and five employees. This ministry is directed by Becky Butler. In the past 10 years, the daycare has grown to a current enrollment of 92 children, nurtured by 18 employees.

During its first decade of operation, the daycare has been expanded to include a commercial grade play structure and metal shelter/storage buildings. Three crosses were added to the hill northeast of the building as a Boy Scout project completed by Hunter McCampbell.

New children’s ministries during regular worship services were initiated in 2017 beyond the usual nursery and care-giving. This year, the Children’s Church (for ages 6-12) started their own children’s worship service, featuring worship songs, Bible verses and lessons, games and more.
