Repairs now underway on the cupola building Gallatin Board of Aldermen noted during their meeting held Aug. 14 that Milbourn LLC has started work on the cupola building on the east side of the Gallatin square. The City of Gallatin recently approved a proposal from Milbourn LLC to remove and repair 4,500 square feet of roof and to restore the decorative cupola.

In July, a check for $34,961.93 from the Gallatin Industrial Development Corporation was delivered to the city to cover improvements on the commercial building. Thereafter, property improvements will be financed and completed by the new bakery business. Marie Antoinette’s Gluten-Free Bake Shoppe is making plans to expand and relocate their bakery in the building. Repairs on the property are hoped to be completed this fall.

The community eclipse event was discussed during Monday’s meeting. The electric department will be disconnecting street lights on the square for the event.

Kicking cancer gas cards available Free gas cards for cancer patients continue to be available at BTC Bank and Farmers Bank in Gallatin for travel expenses to cancer treatments for Daviess County residents through the Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness fundraiser held last year.

This year’s fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Oct. 7. The committee welcomes anyone wishing to help with the planning of this year’s event. If you would like to help, please call Jane McKinsey or Nancy Tate.

The board approved to close city hall from 12:30-1:30 p.m. on that day. A community picture will be taken on the courthouse lawn at 1 p.m.

An ordinance setting tax levy rates for the general fund; for the parks and recreation fund; and for the band fund was approved.

An ordinance related to closing public streets was approved.

Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for Aug. 14: 2 suspicious persons, circumstances, 3 trespass incidents, 1 burglary, 3 animal problems, 2 mental health/protective custody issues, 1 drug/narcotics

Don’t make the solar eclipse the last thing you ever see...

Watching a solar eclipse is a memorable experience, but looking directly at the sun can seriously damage your eyes, reports the Daviess County Health Department.

Staring at the sun for even a short time without wearing the right eye protection can damage your retina permanently. It can even cause blindness, called solar retinopathy.

There is only one safe way to look directly at the sun, whether during an eclipse or not: through special-purpose solar filters.

These solar filters are used in “eclipse glasses” or in hand-held solar viewers. They must meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312– 2.

Keep in mind that ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, or homemade filters are not safe for looking at the sun.

There were many activities at the busy, funfilled and festive golden anniversary celebration at Lake Viking on Aug. 11-12.

The 50th-year celebration included an anvil

shoot, ribbon-cutting, bicycle race, cardboard boat race, music from four bands, boat parade, water sports showcase event, food trucks, raffle drawings, corn-hole challenge, talent and magic shows, games, and face painting for the kids.

Pictures tell the story.

Flips, a water sports crowd pleaser Larry Tague, Randy Tague, and Phil Tate – representing Lake Viking Marine ownership from day one to the present year – along with Bob Hausman, served as cardboard boat race judges.

Library to host total eclipse event, offers info ‘primer sessions’ Daviess County will experience a total solar eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. This will mean that for one to two minutes in the middle of the day, the moon will block out the sun and day will turn to night.

Beginning at 11 a.m. on Aug. 21, Daviess County Library staff will be on the courthouse lawn providing information about the eclipse and distributing for free 2,000 pairs of solar viewing glasses.

Library staff, community professionals and volunteers will be manning a variety of tents and stations on the courthouse lawn from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Events on the courthouse lawn include: ask an expert station; water station and small shaded seating area (for those who may need it); large scale model of the solar system on the courthouse lawn for the

public to walk through; community photo at 1 p.m.; totality of the solar eclipse at approximately 1:08-1:10 p.m. (partial phases before and after beginning at 11:42 a.m.).

All ages are welcome.

In the case of cloud cover or bad weather, library staff will try their best until the very last second to host the event on the courthouse lawn, take the community photo, and share in this amazing phenomenon together with the community.

This event is sponsored by the NASA@ mylibrary grant and the American Library Association and is being put on with assistance from a variety of community partners including the Daviess County Health Department, Gallatin City Police, Gallatin Rotary Club, City of Gallatin staff, Gallatin Publishing Company, JPEG studio, and

with additional planning and support from members of the Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC).

Space experts are calling the total solar eclipse the celestial event of the century. Join the Daviess County Library on the Daviess County courthouse lawn for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Eclipse in a nutshell: 30-minute eclipse primer sessions at the Daviess County Library The Daviess County Library will host four identical 30-minute informational sessions designed to be a short primer on the upcoming Aug. 21 eclipse. The info sessions will take place in the library’s basement community room on Thursday, Aug. 17, and Friday, Aug. 18. There are lunchtime and evening options as the li-

brary hopes to accommodate a wide variety of work and family schedules in the hopes that as many people as possible will be able to attend. Programs are free and open to the public. This event is geared toward older children and adults, although all ages are welcome. Free glasses and NASA decal stickers will be handed out following the 30 minute presentation. Sessions are sponsored by the Daviess County Library in partnership with the NASA@ mylibrary initiative and the American Library Association.

Eclipse in a Nutshell Info Sessions: Thursday, Aug. 17, and Friday, Aug. 18, 12:15-12:45 p.m. (lunchtime session both days); and 7-7:30 p.m. (evening session both days) in the Library basement community room.

The rule of law

by F rei d a M ari e C ru m p

A survey that really matters My smartphone identified the call as a local number. So, I answered. Make that Dumbphone... dumb me. It was another survey call. At least it was a real person talking about something I didn’t intend to follow.

I’m tired of surveys.

And no wonder. A leading online service enabling anyone to issue a survey (for a fee, of course) is SurveyMonkey. It’s just one source.

From its surveys covering 99% of the Fortune 500 companies alone, SurveyMonkey says over 3,000 of its surveys are completed each day -- over a million annually for this one survey company just focusing on the Fortune 500. This is but a sliver.

Some now estimate that billions of survey requests are thrust upon our society each year. Enough already! Not every purchase or decision is a noteworthy “experience” worth the effort of measure.

I’m tired of confronting surveys after every online purchase made. Most of us don’t even realize what we actually share with complete strangers whenever we complete a survey.

“Take a survey for fun.”

Really?

Somebody takes whatever your response seriously. Somebody calculates the acceptable response rate in order for findings to be valid. Somebody determines the margin of error.

enough damage to the book industry. It has devalued books by setting the price and consumer expectations for ebooks and hardcopy books artificially low, even taking a loss to do so.”

Amazon’s aggressive approach led to the closing of many independent booksellers, along with Borders, a major bookstore chain. Barnes and Noble has barely survived. It is no wonder that Amazon’s Whole Foods announcement set off sharp declines in grocery store stocks on Wall Street.

Amazon won’t take over grocery sales as easily as it did book sales, however. Amazon’s food sales are miniscule compared to the overall market which is quite fractured. Walmart leads the way with 14.5 % of food and grocery sales, Kroger is next with 7.2 %.

Whole Foods has a 1.2 % market share and Amazon only 0.2 % of the grocery market.

Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos. wants Amazon to be “the everything store,” which happens to be the title of his biography by Brad Stone. It was only a matter of time before he focused attention on selling groceries which was a $669 billion market last year. Bezos likes bold action so he’s not afraid to attempt a transformation of the market.

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Somebody decides how to filter out incomplete responses. So, there’s no guarantee your time given will even be tallied.

Surveys are everywhere, about everything: teacher surveys, legal aid surveys, orthodontics surveys, political surveys, pizza surveys, airline surveys, music surveys, customer service surveys, health issue surveys, character surveys, marketing surveys, banking surveys, media surveys, home decor surveys, university surveys, vacation trip surveys... and, yes, there are surveys about surveys.

Some surveys entice you with a $100 gift card (if you’re the right click). There are even paid survey websites where you’ll get a bonus when you take your first survey. You know... “real, paid online surveys -- no scams, no fees, no lies” which -- surprise, surprise -- really does sound too good to be true for a reason.

Maybe we can blame the government (that always seems to work). The U.S. Census is the granddaddy of all surveys (since the first federal population census taken in 1790), and it’s just not once every 10 years. Do you know that the U.S. Census Bureau conducts more than 130 separate surveys each year?

Mercy!

But, I admit, there is one survey I welcome. It’s a mini survey, short and sweet. It’s personal.

The “Your feedback is important to us in how we can better improve our service” goes unspoken. And you don’t need a cell phone or a calculator and you don’t have to fill out a stack of paperwork to provide her with your opinion on a very important subject, and a response matters: “Whaduyuwant for supper?”

Amazon as your online supermarket

Amazon, the giant e-retailer, recently announced a deal to purchase Whole Foods Market, the leading organic supermarket chain, for almost $14 billion.

Increasingly groceries will be sold online and delivered to the door or a distribution point for pick-up. According to the Food Marketing Institute, the voice of the retail food industry, online sales of food are expected to reach 20 % of grocery sales by 2025, amounting to $100 billion.

Amazon already has an online grocery presence through AmazonFresh, but its purchase of Whole Foods greatly raises its profile.

As one analyst put it, “By joining forces with Whole Foods, Amazon is poised to bring natural and organic food directly to more Americans than ever, at prices that could be more competitive with conventional foods.”

The deal has ramifications for the entire food industry including farmers. If Amazon’s past is any guide, it may be a bumpy ride. Amazon started as an online bookseller, and it turned the industry on its head for writers, publishers and booksellers.

The Author’s Guild summed up its latest complaint this way, “Amazon has already done

Amazon’s success is predicated on low prices, quality and wide selection. It’s also known for excellent customer relations. But, the same good feeling doesn’t exist with all suppliers and industry trade groups.

Whole Foods sources fresh produce from many small and midsized farms across the country.

Producers could feel squeezed if Amazon, which is keeping the Whole Foods name, pays them less. Amazon also is in a position to try to dictate other terms to suppliers, including production practices.

In time, Amazon could force out some of the smaller supermarket chains that serve small cities and rural areas, as sometimes happened with Walmart. It could hurt sales at farmers’ markets. Amazon is keeping Whole Foods supermarkets and may use them as distribution centers for its recently introduced readyto-cook meal packages.

A century ago A&P pioneered the supermarket in America, and now it’s Amazon that is trying to make a big change in the way we shop for food.

Greetings from Poosey.

My grandpa told the story to be true and any youngster knows that grandfathers never lie. He said that when he was growing up they had a violent neighbor who was known for beating both his kids and his wife. Time after time they’d see the family come to town bruised and battered. According to Grandpa, “Happened a lot in those days and the sheriff sort of thought it was wrong, but the normal course of things for some folks.” Then Grandpa shocked us a bit and said that the neighbors got together one night and killed the guy. Killed him! My grandfather then shook his head knowingly and said, “But you know, some folks just need killin’.”

When I got older I inquired further of other family members. It seems as though the violent neighbor was found head down in his drinking well and the cause was listed as accidental, figuring the guy had gone outside at night to get a drink of water and fell into the well. What wasn’t listed in the report was the fact that the man had a chaw of tobacco in his mouth... not something you’d do at two in the morning. I guess the law enforcement authorities thought that in those days some folks just needed killin’. I thought it was notable that Grandpa and his two brothers were strangely gone from their house that night.

This would have happened around the turn of the 20th century, not long after the days of the Wild West. I’ve been told that our old TV shows about Matt Dillon and Wyatt Earp are a bit misleading in that very few towns had any sort of law officer and the local justice was more often handled by committees of vigilantes. Our little community of Poosey still has an Anti-Thieves Society, formerly Anti-Horse-Thieves Society ...but now the guys mostly meet to eat oyster soup and lie a great deal.

Living in the United States we take the rule of law for granted when, in fact, it’s still not commonplace throughout the world.

Although the Magna Carta set the stage for our current system of government, it’s still a struggle to keep governance in the strict rules of regulation instead of the whims of the men and women doing the governing. Much has been written recently on the strides China has made in recent years, but a friend recently returning from two years there said, “That’s a laugh. You have to bribe your way to do anything. Their system of laws amounts to cash under the table.”

Sir Thomas More, a fellow who ended up losing his head when he disagreed with Henry VIII’s choice of wife and separation from the Catholic Church, once had an argument with a young noble who was angry with the King. The young man argued that King Henry was so evil that it was necessary to break a few laws to take him down. More responded, “These laws are like mighty trees, my young friend. If you cut them down then the winds of adversity would blow so strongly that even you could not stand.”

Much has been said about the separation of powers in recent months, but the thing that holds our national integrity together is adherence to the rule of law. No matter who you are, you are not above the law.

Grandpa told us another story, this time involving him directly.

He had a neighbor who was not only famous for his lies, but also notorious for sloppy farming methods, allowing his fences to fall into a constant state of disrepair. One spring the neighbor found a cow and calf missing and accused Grandpa of stealing the animals. When the county sheriff learned of the two parties involved he refused to even come out and investigate, knowing that the neighbor was a born liar and Grandpa was one of the most honest men to walk the face of the earth. Grandpa drove to the county seat and insisted that the matter be examined. He said, “I ain’t a thief, but I ain’t above the law.” So, the sheriff came out, saw that Grandpa raised red and white Herefords while the neighbor raised Black Angus, and decided that such a theft would stand out if it actually occurred. Grandpa believed in the rule of law.

The national YMCA Youth in Government program as it’s motto, “Democracy must be learned by each generation.” It’s not a given, it’s not to be taken for granted. Our nation was founded by a group of brave patriots fighting to escape the tyranny of the British Crown and adhered to John Adams’ declaration that, “We are a nation of laws, and not men.”

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

The heart of the matter…

Randy Minnick Memorial supports area students for over 30 years Wayne and Sally Minnick attended the dedication of a new show ring to their son Randy Minnick on Aug. 11 on the fairgrounds at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia.

The Minnicks made a $20,000 donation towards the Swine Barn Improvement Project through the Randy Minnick Memorial Fund to support FFA and 4-H exhibitors.

The dedication was hosted by Wendy Faulconer, director of the Missouri State Fair Foundation, and attended by dozens of youth and their families.

Asked to speak during the event, Wayne Minnick was overcome by emotion as he tried to talk about his son, Randy, who died in an automobile accident in 1984 at age 16. The crowd gathered in the arena understood — they filled the silence with claps, cheers and a standing ovation.

Wayne wanted to talk about how he and Sally have tried to make sure that the projects funded in Randy’s name benefit young people now and into the future. Showing livestock at the State Fair isn’t just about the ribbons and banners young people get or the placements they

make. It’s about learning valuable life lessons — dedication, hard work, honesty and responsibility. It’s about the people they meet, from breeders to judges. And it’s about the friends they make and the memories they keep.

“These are the things we are supporting and have supported through the years,” said Sally Minnick. “Not all the contributions made in Randy’s name have been large sums; Randy’s memorial has helped provide FFA jackets to students who can’t afford them.”

Randy was born in 1968. He enjoyed raising and showing his Yorkshire hogs and Simmental cattle, as well as helping younger showmen.

Randy died in 1984, and by the spring of 1985, contributions from friends and relatives toward his memorial funded a scholarship at the Jamesport high school. That first year, Jamesport graduate David Cox received the scholarship. This scholarship has been continuously offered for 32 years with Austin Eckert being the recipient in 2017.

“We have received continuous contributions throughout the years to Randy’s

memorial,” said Sally. “We wouldn’t have been able to do any of it if people had not been so thoughtful, caring and generous.”

That first year, Steven Huffman, a

graduate of Jamesport High School, was able to attend the National FFA Conference. In years since, funds from Randy’s (continued on page 16)

By Tim Baker, Regional Horticulturist The total solar eclipse is almost here. Through all the partial phases of the eclipse, you definitely need approved eye protection. Anything less could damage your eyes or cause blindness. There are lots of unapproved ideas on how to view the sun.

Sunglasses, for example, do not darken the sun enough to use. Smoked glass also should not be used for many reasons, including the fact that they may let damaging infrared and ultraviolet light through.

Some older techniques include using fully exposed black and white silver-based photographic film. Even that is not considered safe by most authorities today.

Some sources say that welding lenses are safe if they are dense enough. Most of them say to use a #12 to #14. Anything less is not safe. I would still be careful with them, and would prefer approved glasses, which have been verified to be compliant with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard.

What is the problem with unapproved filters? Even if you may be able to look at the sun without discomfort, they may be letting through wavelengths of sunlight that will cause damage. Approved filters have been tested not only for visible light, but also wavelengths in the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. These wavelengths will not be visible to your eye. So even though there may not be any discomfort to your eyes, if IR and UV are getting through, the light may still cause damage.

I have seen filters being sold for cameras that are heavy neutral density (ND) filters. When I see that, I wonder if they have been tested for IR and UV, even if coming from a reputable filter manufacturer. I have read astronomers that say not to use ND filters. I would stick with solar filters made by a telescope

b y J essica N elson, D av iess C ounty Health D ep artment Breastf eed ing P eer C ounselor Women from every corner of the USA are working to normalize breastfeeding and have made great strides. We need to remember that breastfeeding is not just a woman’s issue but an important issue for society.

Why? Breastfeeding is an important part of sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

What does that mean exactly?

It means that the health of our planet is affected by the way that babies are fed. Breast milk is a natural, renewable food that is produced and delivered to baby without any pollution, packaging or waste. Not to mention the numerous health benefits for both mother and baby. The health of our planet is important for a healthy life for future generations.

It is so important that breastfeeding is supported by members of the community and employers.

Breastfeeding should be un-

derstood as a matter of rights and gender equality as well as a part of a healthy lifestyle. Breastfeeding is part of the reproductive cycle and women should be able to combine breastfeeding and paid work without discrimination or disadvantage.

Workplaces need to be more breastfeeding-friendly so that mothers do not have to choose between breastfeeding their baby or getting a paycheck.

Breastfeeding is important to the healthy growth and development of babies. The World Health Organization recommends that: Babies are breastfed within the first hour of life; Babies are breastfed for the first six months exclusively (which means that baby gets breast milk only); Babies are breastfed on demand; Breastfeeding continues for at least a year.

Breastfeeding is good for mother and baby, society and the environment. Look at what you are doing for your baby, yourself, society and the environment all because you are breastfeeding your baby.

Wanda Sue Smith, 84, McFall, formerly of Kansas City, departed this earth on Aug. 9, 2017 at her home.

Wanda was born on July 21, 1933, the oldest child of four born to John and Brookie (Daniel) Rice. In Wanda's spare time, she enjoyed singing, playing the organ and being outside doing whatever she thought might have needed done as she loved gardening. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt to all who knew her. She was a very good cook. She enjoyed having friends and family come to visit and drink coffee and just reminisce about old times.

One of her grandkids used to always ask when coming to visit, if they were going to the good grandma's (Grandma Brookie) or the “mean” grandma's, which was Wanda because she always carried a wooden spoon in her purse and always told all the grandkids if they didn't mind she would use it on them. A lot of precious memories were shared with this lovely, Christian woman whom her family will cherish for many years to come.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, John and Brookie Rice; brother, Rondald E. Rice; sister, Yvetta Melton; son, Bernard G. Smith, Jr.; and many other aunts and uncles.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 35 years, Gayle Smith, of the home; two daughters, Alice Todd (Roger) Milo, Misty Yurisich (John) Concordia; daughter-in-law, Janice Smith, Waco, Texas; son-in-law, Steve Fischer, McFall; six grandchildren, Cicily Hoover (Randy), Concordia, Tiffany Todd, Olathe, Kan., Robbie Todd, Concordia, Shelby, Ben, and Steven Fischer all of McFall; five great grandchildren; one sister, Carol Hayes, Independence; sister-in-law, Dianna Muetzel; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services were held on Aug. 14 at Liberty Baptist Church, McFall, under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Pattonsburg. Burial will follow in McFall Cemetery. Memorials may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 152, Pattonsburg, Mo., 64670.

father was in the Navy and so she was in Guam, Iowa, Indiana, and came to Gallatin during her seventh grade year. She graduated from Gallatin R-5. Ms. Dolan received her bachelor’s in elementary education from Western Governors College in

Salt Lake City, Utah. She previously taught first and second grades in Kingston. Her husband Derek is a maintenance technician at Magna Seating in Excelsior Springs. They have two children, Haven, two, and River, 11 months.

Gallatin returns five golfers from 2016 GRC champion squad Gallatin lost five seniors from last season’s golf team that won the Grand River Conference and progressed through district and sectional tournaments to qualify for the state tournament.

Returning are senior conference and district medalist Megan Cox, senior Kelli Lynch and juniors Sarabeth Michael, Jacklyn Maize and Ally Johnson.

Underclassmen include sophomores Jessica Hart and Jenni Teel and freshmen Riley Dutro, Libby Endicott, Claire Hemry, Sarah Morrison, Jenna Rains and Johnna Tadlock.

The Lady Bulldogs travel to Stanberry on Monday and head to Lawson on Tuesday. Starting time for both is 4 p.m.

GHS ready to dive into 2017 softball season Tuesday at Polo Despite losing three starters to graduation, Gallatin’s Lady Bulldog softball team is looking to fill just one outfield spot heading into next Tuesday’s season opener at Polo. Still, the Lady Bulldogs will again field a young team, with little varsity experience at half the positions vacated by last spring’s graduation.

“As far as experience at the varsity level, we’re still pretty young,” says first-year head coach Courtney Ray, a former GHS softball star and all-conference and all-district player.

“Out of my projected starting nine, four of them are brand new to the varsity level, and out of the other five, three of them will be playing new positions,” she added.

A competitive freshman class brings summer travel ball experience to the equation. They are pushing upper classmen for varsity playing time.

The pitcher-catcher battery is set with junior Karley Salmon on the mound and junior Kelsey Maxwell behind the plate. Senior Maelea Coulson returns at first base, along with senior Aubrey Feiden at second.

The left field side of the infield will feature two new starters, freshman Caragan Baker and junior Addison Burns, at shortstop and third base, respectively.

A pair of position switches affects the outfield alignment.

Senior Courtney Shubert moves from center to left. Senior Hayley Michael moves from shortstop to center. Right field will be manned by either junior Bethany Bailey or junior Essie Williamson.

Senior Jerilynn Hoover, junior Zoe Bradford and sophomore

Madalyn Shubert are expected to vie for playing time at the varsity level.

Additional team members are sophomores Aubrey Burns, Morgan Glidewell and Macie McNeely, and freshmen Carli Beck, Carlie Hogan, Maddi Michael, Hannah Miller and McKinley Waters.

“Just from being around these girls during basketball season and in the classroom, I definitely see that the upperclassmen have made huge strides this past winter and summer in terms of leadership,” Coach Ray says, “and that has carried over onto the practice field the past couple of weeks,” she adds. “The level of focus and competition at practice is phenomenal and it’s making things exciting for us.

Last Friday’s jamboree in Milan gave Coach Ray and her assistant, Crystal Pash, a better idea about where the team stands heading into the season opener. In three-inning mini games, Gallatin beat Princeton, tied Milan and lost to Scotland County.

“I felt like we were able to get several of the young kids a bit of a look in a varsity type setting,” Coach Ray remarked. “We really wanted to view each of these three innings like it was the fifth, sixth and seventh inning of a game,” she added. “Getting to see how the girls reacted under pressure in a live situation really helped me in my continued evaluation of the girls.”

Gallatin opens the season next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Polo. The Lady Bulldogs open their home schedule Thursday, Aug. 24, against Putnam County.

Bulldogs look to build on 2016 football success The pre-season perception last season in the Grand River Conference was that the Gallatin Bulldogs would not fare well in the newly formed GRC Eastern Division lineup, but the Dogs quickly put those doubts to rest, under the guidance of first-year coach Patrick Treece.

A first-game victory over North Platte gave the Bulldogs the start they were looking for, but tough games against Hamilton, Maysville and Polo followed. The Bulldogs played the Panthers tough for three quarters and then surged to five straight wins before losing a heartbreaker in the opening round of district action. One of those important victories included a 35-21 win over conference co-champion, Trenton.

Fast forward to August 2017 — Coach Treece and his staff, Ryan Beenken, John Bundy and Brett Adkison, welcome back a nucleus of players that is much more experienced than at this time a year ago, including five players who earned all-conference, eastern division honors last season.

Senior quarterback/linebacker Cole McBee piled up over 1,000 yards in total offense and had a hand in 15 touchdowns.

He led the Bulldogs in tackles as well and earned a conference first team honor as an all-purpose player.

Junior Adrian Hernandez was first team all-conference kicker, making 33 of 34 extra points on the season. He was also an allstate selection by the Missouri Football Coaches Association.

Junior tackle/defensive end Graydee Rains earned second team all-conference on both sides of the ball. He notched 5.5 sacks and registered 13 tackles for loss as a potent pass rusher.

Senior receiver/defensive back Caleb Boyd earned honorable mention on both sides last season. He has been one of the team’s most effective pass catchers for the last two seasons.

Senior Colin Beck earned second team all-conference at punter. He also plays tight end and inside linebacker.

Junior Corbin Toney is a dual threat runningback effective as a ground gainer and pass catcher. Senior Gabe Cole will also be a pass-catching threat to contend with.

Up front, the Bulldogs flash plenty of experience, along with Rains with the return of senior tackle Patrick McNickle, senior guard Noah Engel and junior guard Morgan McBroom, who is recovering from a pre-season shoulder injury. Coaches are also happy with the continued emergence of sophomore center/defensive end Tom Crouse.

Senior tackle Morgan Miller was a newcomer last season and will be counted upon on both sides of the ball.

The Bulldogs open their season Friday night at home against the North Platte Panthers, who they defeated last season, 42-6.

Gallatin travels to Hamilton in week #2 to face the defending state champion Hornets, who open Friday at Maysville.

She is sitting on my lap. Her name is Sweetie. She is a small dog that tries to take charge. I can see and hear her breathing. I pet her; her body is warm, feels hot to my hand. Somewhere in our house there is another dog — Snoopy, Snoopy is a stuffed dog, a leftover from one of our grown children.

There are significant differences between Sweetie and Snoopy.

Sweetie is quite demanding. She insists on sitting on our laps or at least in the chair with us. She constantly goes in and out the doors, calling on us to open and close them. She regularly checks her food and water bowls, obviously expecting us to keep them filled.

Snoopy on the other hand never expects anything. But he doesn't give anything either. When he sits on my lap, I don't see or hear him breathe. When I pet him, I don't feel warmth. The primary difference in the two is life. Sweetie is alive (you better believe it). Snoopy is not. One is a real dog; the other is an imitation.

Years ago, there was a pet rock fad. In many ways, it was a put down of relationships. I remember seeing a pet rock for sale with the inscription, “My pet never disappoints me.” One could add, "My pet never warms me either."

Life presents this wonderful dynamic of relationships. I walked from the house outside to finish this column in our pergola. Sweetie wandered off to do whatever; but occasionally she checks to see if I am still here. We don't even speak the same language, though each of us tries. Yet, this living creature blesses my life and I hers.

This is one small example of what life is all about — relationships. God created us for relationships — friends, marriage, family. The good life comes through good relationships. The best of all relationships is a relationship with God. I believe when God said, “Let us make mankind in Our image” (Genesis 1:26), He had a personal relationship in mind.

Sweetie and Snoopy provide an excellent example. Life with relationships is meaningful. Life without them is fake. A relationship with God gives life. Life without Him is phony. Remember, Jesus said, "I am come that you might have life.” (John 10:10)

MDC to host 49th annual Antler Measurement Day Aug. 26 at St. Joe So you harvested a big buck deer last hunting seasons and wonder just how high the antlers would score if experts apply measurements to record book guidelines? Answers are at hand.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host its free 49th annual Antler Measurement Day 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 26, at the East Hills Mall, 3702 Frederick Ave., in St. Joseph, Mo. MDC’s Northwest Region staff organizes the event and conducts measurements to assist hunters. Some may simply be curious. Others may wish to submit scores to organizations that maintain state and national record books about large antlers from white-tailed deer.

This event is for scoring deer antlers only, staff will not measure antlers or horns from other species. The measurements will provide hunters with scores and what honors they may qualify for by private organizations honoring large deer, including Boone & Crockett, Pope & Young, Long Hunter Society, and Show-Me Big Bucks.

“The record books are to honor the animal, not the hunter,” said Conservation Agent Dave Carlisle, event organizer.

Deer antlers are scored using a variety of measurements combined in a formula. For example, scorers count or measure the number of tines, distance between tines, circumferences, inside spread between the main beams, and other factors.

Hunters bring the antlers or mounted deer head to the mall.

They must check the animal in with MDC staff and then check them back out after the scoring.

Staff will also score shed antlers that people have found, or antlers on a skull cap that have been found.

An antler can be scored if only one shed antler from a pair is found.

“They will know exactly how the antler scored and what honors with what organization they might qualify for,” Carlisle said.

“They decide if they want to send the paper work in and submit their deer for consideration.”

MDC will also have staff on hand to discuss hunter education classes and requirements. Conservation agents will be available to answer questions about upcoming hunting seasons and issues related to the state’s deer herd.

The public is invited to drop by the mall and observe the deer antlers being scored.

For more information, call the MDC Northwest Regional Office in St. Joseph at 816-271-3100.

The University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources’ HundleyWhaley Research Center will take a look at elements of alternative agriculture, as well as important and timely topics such as dicamba and marestail control, during its annual twilight tour.

The various wagons tours will run from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 22, at the Research Center in Albany, Mo. The event is free and open to the public and includes a dinner, which will begin at 7 p.m.

This is the second year of the Hundley-Whaley Research Center twilight tour. In the past, Hundley-Whaley has hosted a field day during the morning with a free lunch. The Center switched to an evening format last year.

“We felt like everything went really well last year,” said Superintendent Bruce Burdick. “I think everyone who attended really liked the evening schedule. It was a little bit cooler and a little bit more relaxed.”

This year’s twilight tour will include a wagon ride through a handful of alternative agriculture presentations. Those discussions will feature beekeeping, mushroom growing, maple syrup harvesting and monarchs.

All stops on this specific tour will focus on different practices that individuals can take part in at home.

Leo Sharashkin, who earned his Ph.D. in forestry from Mizzou, has been raising bees in the Ozarks in horizontal hives for several years. He will explain how individuals can raise their own bees in a backyard setting.

Gregory Ormsby Mori will show-

case how to inoculate logs with spawn and grow mushrooms.

Ormsby Mori, the MU Center for Agroforestry outreach coordinator, has held this demonstration in numerous places across the state, and will bring the presentation to Albany in August. Dusty Walter, director of resource management for the MU Agricultural Research Centers, will fill guests in on how the monarch and pollinator habitats are continuing to progress at Hundley-Whaley.

“We’re excited to offer these presentations during our twilight tour,” Burdick said. “These presentations are applicable to not only full-time farmers but to individuals who have a little bit of land that they’re looking to utilize.”

Kevin Bradley, associate professor of plant sciences, will bring guests updates on dicamba and the challenges producers face in regards to drift. Peter Scharf, a professor of plant sci-

ences, will discuss nitrogen and cover crops. Wayne Flanary and Andy Luke, both MU Extension agronomy specialist, will discuss marestail control in soybeans and the sensitivity of several crops to herbicides, respectively.

There will be several other presentations as well.

“We’re excited to host our twilight tour again this year,” Burdick said. “We have a lot of good presentations prepared and it should be a really informative and fun evening.”

The Hundley-Whaley Research Center is located at 1109 S. Birch St. in Albany, Mo., and is one of the MU CAFNR Agricultural Research Centers.

For more information about the twilight tour, call 660-726-3698 or email Burdick at BurdickB@ missouri.edu.

Randy Minnick Memorial memorial have continued to allow students to attend state and national leadership conferences in FFA, 4-H and FCCLA. When the Jamesport FFA Alumni was established in 2015, Randy’s memorial helped to get the organization off the ground.

The Jamesport Fair Building needed enlargement in 2015 and a donation was made in Randy’s name along with his grandfather Randall’s name. Randall was one of the first board members of the fair.

In 2014, the Minnicks contributed to the building fund for the Jamesport Fire Department, and in 2015, they contributed to the building for the Lock Springs Fire Department.

In 2016 Sally and Wayne had a bench with Randy’s name established outside the MFA Show Arena at the State Fair in Sedalia.

And now, in 2017, Randy’s memorial has brought about the renovation of the north show ring at the swine barn at the Missouri State Fair — the same barn where Randy won ribbons when he was a kid.

The Swine Barn was constructed 95 years ago in 1922 and is listed on the National Historic Register but has become outdated and dysfunctional in several areas in recent years. Despite its limited space and outdated condition, more than 1,800 4-H and FFA swine entries were listed last year at the barn. That number is three times more than any other livestock event held at the fair.

State Fair Foundation Director Wendy Faulconer noted that those numbers of entries were among the reasons the State Fair Foundation chose the swine barn for the focus of recent improvements.

If the heart of the livestock events is the swine barn, the heart of the swine barn is the show ring.

“The new show ring features more pens and

Wayne and Sally Minnick kid-friendly latches,” said Sally.

Improvement efforts have been led by longtime swine exhibitor, ag instructor, and foundation board member, Ron Wolf from Chillicothe. Other improvements include new placing pens, new staging pens and renovated wash areas. Lucas Oil donated aluminum bleachers which are handicapped accessible. Those improvements were also funded by private donations and two special projects. A commemorative T-shirt has raised about $5,000.

The campaign for the next round of renovations has begun. One plaque made of the old benches sold for $5,700 during the memorial with more to be auctioned.

“The Minnick family encourages others to join the effort to make a lasting investment on the Missouri State Fairgrounds and cultivate a new generation of 4H and FFA exhibitors,” said Sally.

possession, 1 vandalism, 1 theft, 4 curfew violations. There is one dog in the pound.

Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that brush clean-up from the storm is basically complete. Crews replaced a cylinder on the loader and a radiator on the small bucket truck.

Friends of Gallatin anticipates approval for the purchase of a new bucket truck, which will be leased to the city. Morey stated that delivery for the new bucket truck is expected in approximately three months.

Street crews opened a large ditch on Ogden Street. The Power Take-Off (PT0) and hitch had to be replaced on the brush cutter. Walls are being constructed for the main building at the new water plant site.

Bills totalling $186,357.69 were approved for payment.

The board reviewed the July Financial Review. Ross Construction’s Pay App #6 in the amount of $399,684.44 was approved. and also Snyder’s invoice in the amount of $13,685.60.

The board reviewed Eichler’s June Bookkeeping Report.

Missouri Lagers Retirement Program was discussed. City Administrator Tony Stonecypher will invite a Lagers representative to attend a council meeting.

Mr. Stonecypher led a discus-

sion on participating in a residence verification process with the Census Bureau. The board wasn’t interested at this time.

Alderman Walker has received several great compliments for the city’s response to storm repairs and cleanup.

The above are from the unapproved minutes of the public meeting held on Aug. 14 at city hall. Those present were: Mayor Barb Ballew, President of Board John Whitfield, Aldermen Carol Walker, Steve Evans, Dan Lockridge, City Administrator Tony Stonecypher, City Clerk Hattie Bailey, Police Chief Mark Richards, Public Works Director Mark Morey, and Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett.

on its path over 14 United States.

For about two minutes, the sky within the path, about 70 miles wide, will go dark. This period of darkness is called totality.

The totality, or umbra of the eclipse, will take about 17 minutes to cross Missouri. It will enter the state in the far northwest corner at 1:04 p.m., and will exit southeast of Cape Girardeau at 1:21 p.m.

But the whole eclipse experience will start with first contact, which is when the moon first “touches” the edge of the sun — that’s the start of what is called the partial phase. For viewers in the most northwestern corner of Missouri,

The end — when the moon has moved all the way across the state, and following the partial phase after totality — will come for the last Missourians in the southeast at 2:48 p.m.

In this project, you will use common materials to create a device that allows you to safely view the solar eclipse.

On Aug. 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will cut a swath across Missouri

that will happen at 11:38 a.m.

Nationwide, it will take the shadow of the total solar eclipse 94 minutes to cross the U.S. from central Oregon to South Carolina.

Viewers who aren’t directly in the path will only see a partial eclipse. To see a list of Missouri communities in the path, visit www.eclipse2017.org/2017/ states/mo.htm.

Another important aspect of eclipse viewing is safety.

Eyes can be seriously damaged by looking at the sun, even in partial eclipse phases, without protection.

It’s never safe to look at the sun without protection, and the view leading up to the total solar eclipse is no different. Wearing safe eyewear is essential.

Even cameras and cell phones can be damaged by their view of the sun.

No sunglasses, X-rays, undeveloped film or other homemade filters are safe for looking at the sun.

an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eye(s), causing serious injury.

Be sure eclipse glasses and hand-held solar viewers are certified (ISO 12312-2) to meet international safety standards. Certification should be printed inside.

Do not cover or remove your eclipse glasses or filter while looking at the sun. Always turn away for both steps.

A total solar eclipse is about as bright as a full moon, and just as safe to look at, but totality passes quickly, and then filters are essential.

The Diamond Ring One phenomenon associated with a total solar eclipse is the "diamond ring." It appears just before the beginning of totality, when a single bright point of sunlight — the diamond — shines through a deep valley on the moon's edge and the inner corona — the ring — becomes visible. A second diamond ring appears at the end of totality when a deep valley on the opposite side of the retreating moon exposes a single bead of bright sunlight that begins to wash out the corona.

Be Safe When Viewing

Long Box (minimum 6-ft. long) The longer your box is, the bigger your image of the sun will be.

Eclipse watcher: I heard it was never safe to look directly at the sun without protective eyewear — is that true?

Doctor Speck: It’s certainly true that you should never look at the bright disc of the sun without protection, but during totality — when the moon totally covers the main disc of the sun, the moon provides protection, the sun’s atmosphere is still visible, but only as bright as a full moon and so safe to look at with the naked eye.

2. Cover the end of the viewing tube with a piece of cardboard. Cut a 1-inch hole in the center of the cardboard. Tape a piece of foil over the hole, then poke a small hole in the foil with a pin.

3. At the other end of the tube, cut a goodsized viewing hole in the side of the box.

Put a piece of white paper at the end of the box, right inside the viewing hole. This is the screen where your projected sun will appear.

4. When you use your viewer, you will point the pinhole end of the box right at the sun.

To aim it, move it around until you see a round spot of light on the paper at the other end. That is your pinhole image of the sun.

Doctor SPECK

Eclipse watcher: I heard it's okay to look at the partial eclipse through undeveloped film, or X-ray film, or smoked glass.

Doctor Speck: None of those techniques is safe. While it helps with the comfort level (it doesn1t hurt so much to look at the sun because it is darkened), it doesn1t cut out all the harmful light rays, especially in the infrared. The retina does not have nerves, so we don1t feel any pain even when damage is happening.

Dr. Angela Speck is Director of Astronomy at University of Missouri, Columbia.

If you do not have a long box or tube, create one by taping two or more shorter tubes together. Remember to cut the ends of the tube and tape them together so light can travel the entire length of the tube.

Learning Standards: I can follow sequential directions to create a replica. I can make text-toworld connections.
