Medical marijuana licenses for dispensary facilities include Red Stag in Gallatin The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) has begun the process of issuing a total of 192 licenses for medical marijuana dispensary facilities. Red Stag Retail LLC, located at 509 North Main Street in Gallatin, was among those approved. Red Stag Retail LLC is a limited liability company out of St. Louis, according to Missouri Secretary of State online business filing. The company formed in July 2019. Registered agent is Ryan White of St. Louis. The name of the organizer is listed as Alex Close of Columbus, Ohio. Once open, Red Stag Retail will carry a selection of THC and CBD dispensary menu products to help qualified patients that have received their medical marijuana card. All products sold at this dispensary must be tested by independent third party labs licensed by the state. Per Article 14, 24 dispensary

facilities will be licensed per congressional district in Missouri. Missouri is divided into eight congressional districts. “We are committed to making medical marijuana safe and accessible for qualified patients of Missouri,” said Lyndall Fraker, director of the DHSS Section for Medical Marijuana Regulation. “This phase of program implementation is vital to product accessibility for Missourians throughout the entire state.” Dispensary facilities whose applications are approved will receive notification of that approval to the email addresses of the individual who created the user account in the Medical Marijuana Registry Portal, the individual listed in the application as the primary contact, and at least one other individual identified in the application.

A former Cameron high school teacher was sentenced in federal court Jan. 28 for secretly recording pornographic videos of three teenage victims in his bathroom. William Derek Williams, 40, Cameron, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to 20 years in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Williams to 10 years of supervised release following incarceration. Williams formerly was a high school language arts

teacher and more recently a part-time high school multimedia teacher at the time of the offense. Williams pleaded guilty on Aug. 26, 2019, to one count of producing child pornography. Williams admitted that he secretly filmed three different victims over a five-year period from January 2013 to September 2018 while they were in the basement bathroom of his residence.

Local food bank closing; hopes for establishing new one arise The Food Bank of the Gallatin Adventist Community Services Center will be closing sometime in the near future, with hopes that a new location can be found and a new food bank established in order to continue to serve the community. A series of unfortunate events have led to the closing of the food bank. Last year, the long-time director of the Daviess County Food Bank, Bill Reed, passed away. The current director, his wife, Karen Reed, 82, recently fractured two vertebrae in her back moving items in the food bank. The food bank is a very labor intensive enterprise, with boxes of heavy food being loaded and unloaded off trucks. The work

is putting a strain on an aging group of volunteers. The Food Bank needs to find a new home, volunteer crew, and administration. “We will be talking to city representatives and the county commissioners and sending letters to churches and clubs that we hope can help,” Mrs. Reed says. “Even $50 a month donation would be a big help financially to a new food bank. The food bank has an account at BTC Bank in Gallatin, where individuals can make donations. The account will be transferred to the new food bank.” Mrs. Reed is hoping that the county and city will band together to create a food bank. Ideally,

Close to 200 hunters gathered for a coyote drive on Jan. 25. The hunters gathered at the Daviess-Caldwell County line and swept along six four-mile sections. Permission was received from each landowner before the hunt. The hunters shot 30 coyotes using shotguns with #4 bird shot, with a range of about 80 yards. The drive is conducted by the hunters lining up on the perimeter of the tract, then

on vocal signal — they yell from one hunter to the next — they all move in toward the center of the tract. Hunters are approximately 100-150 yards apart. On this drive last year, hunters harvested 46 coyotes. The best take in one drive (per tract) was 12 coyotes. The organizers keep the carcasses to sell and burn the blemished ones. Mennonite and Amish hunters find out

about the Coyote Drive from the Busy Bee Amish newspaper. Other drives were held at La Plata, Gibbs, Jamesport, and Hamilton. These drives saw 104 coyotes killed all together. The hunts in Caldwell-Daviess average about 140-160 participants including Amish, Mennonite, and “English” and cover as many as eight tracts. Jamesport will hold another coyote drive on Jan. 31.

the county, in conjunction with the city, churches, charitable organizations and the ministerial alliance, will organize a board of directors to oversee the management and operation of the food bank. If a new food bank can be established, the current food bank will donate its walk-in cooler and freezer, chest freezers, shelves, and miscellaneous equipment for the new operation. The Gallatin Adventist Community Services Center will continue to support the new food bank beyond the donation of equipment. It will pay for the continued upkeep of a new website created for the current food bank. Current volunteers are willing to assist in the organization and operation of the new food bank by passing on its books, outlining volunteer job descriptions, helping in the development of a new crew, and management of the distribution of food. “The new food bank will need many volunteers for organizing and dating foods, driving to col-

New Year’s Day fire destroys Kidder home An early morning fire on the first day of the new year destroyed the home belonging to Rick Bottorff of Kidder. The fire started around 6:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, at the house located at 16221 Yale Avenue. Bottorff says a portable electric heater was the cause of the fire. Bottorff and his three sons, age 10, 12 and 13, escaped the fire without injury. The boys are students at Hamilton. The Kidder-Altamont-Winston/KAW Fire Department responded to the blaze. Bottorff had insurance. He has a trailer home to live in for now and is hoping to rebuild in the future.

It’s the game, reliving vivid memories of a 15-year-old watching a bigger-than-life event in blackand-white. It’s being a kid again, one who believes! When today’s fans “ooh-ahhh” over defensive tackle Chris Jones, I see #86 Buck Buchanan playing in his prime. All-Everything Quarterback Pat Mahomes is the key to the Chiefs’ chances ... as was #16 Lenny “The Cool” Dawson facing Minnesota’s “Purple People Eater” defense. Travis Kelce is today’s premier tight end (and a better receiver than the 49ers’ George Kittle) but 6-time All-AFL tight end #84 Fred Arbanas caught Lenny Dawson passes while physically able to see with only one eye. You can applaud Tyrann “Honey Badger” Mathieu at safety; I see Hall-of-Famer #42 Johnny Robinson sitting on the ground after a clinching interception, defiantly raising his fist to proclaim the 13-point underdog Chiefs as #1. Wideout Tyreek “Chetah” Hill is in a class by himself but no more than #89 Otis Taylor who separated himself from others as the first prototype “large man” receiver in the game. Otis breaking a tackle to prance down the sideline for Super Bowl IV’s final score says it all. I’ll bet linebacker Frank Clark doesn’t line up offsides with the outcome of Sunday’s game on the line. That is an improvement over last year’s team. But there’s nobody I’d rather have at linebacker for the Chiefs than #78 Bobby Bell ... except maybe his teammates #63 Willie Lanier and #51 Jim Lynch. Pick your poison. I’m just saying I hope today’s Chiefs can do for my 11-year-old grandson what the 1969 Chiefs did for me. And I’m anxious to see what play Coach Reid cooks up to be memorialized as much as Hank Stram’s “65 Toss Power Trap.” It’s gonna happen – backyard football at its professional best! In so very many ways, today’s Chiefs mirror one of the best teams to ever take the field, the 1969 Kansas City Chiefs. And with a win this Sunday, perhaps I will remember something better than that longestgame-ever-played loss to the 1972 Dolphins whenever I hear the word “Miami.” You just gotta believe… Go, CHIEEEEEEEEEEFS! But if by chance the Chiefs lose, I’ll accept my part of the blame. We’re invited to watch the game on a big screen TV at a friend’s house. So, it’s gonna be different than when I last watched the Chiefs play in the Super Bowl. I don’t want to jinx anything by asking you this, but this is important: Do you know anybody who has a 32-inch black-n-white Magnavox that I can borrow this Sunday?

Consider the right to life

By Congressman Sam Graves

Forty-seven years ago, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion across the United States. Overnight, our solemn responsibility to secure and protect the right to life was abandoned. The tragedy of this decision cannot be overstated. In forsaking this, our most sacred Godgiven right, we have cheapened the importance of every other right our Founding Fathers secured. For without life, we cannot enjoy all the other rights that millions of American heroes have fought and died to protect. This week, President Trump declared the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision as National Sanctity of Human Life Day, reaffirming our country’s commitment to protect the gift of life from conception to natural death. As thousands gather this week in Washington, DC to call for an end to the taking of innocent life, I stand with them as they make their voices heard for those who never had or will have a voice. Though great strides have been taken towards securing the right to life, we must continue fighting for it. In Louisiana, all physicians wishing to perform an abortion are required to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their facility. This is a common-sense re-

quirement, and Missouri has had a similar law on the books since 1986. This requirement ensures emergency medical services are immediately available if a complication occurs. The Louisiana law was recently upheld by an Appeals Court and will now go before the Supreme Court. Recently, I joined with 206 of my colleagues in an amicus brief to the Supreme Court lending support to this common-sense state law. In Congress, I am proud to cosponsor the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which

would simply require that care be provided for newborn children who survive an abortion. We have called for an immediate vote on this critical bill, but our efforts have been blocked by the majority over 80 times. This is simply unacceptable. Almost a half century later after Roe v. Wade, with millions of innocent lives lost, it is more important than ever to continue working to secure and defend every American’s right to life — born and unborn. Life is a precious gift, and I will continue fighting to protect it.

Our readers write...

Dear Editor: A hello to folks at the Gallatin North Missourian. I was born in Liberty Township, Daviess County, on Dec. 20, 1929. An article in the newspaper was of interest to me. It concerned the loom. A lady by the name of Rachel McLain owned a loom and did weave no telling how many throw rugs. My grandmother, Lucy L. Lee, was a thrifty person and used up things to the limit. She cut legs off used up overalls, then cut them up into one-inch strips, sewed them into a long string and rolled them into balls. Then when she had enough, she would take the rags to Mrs. McLain to weave into a rug or maybe rugs. This was during the 1940s. These rugs were very durable as well as being rather attractive. I helped my grandmother by using her old treadle sewing machine to sew the rags and she would cut the threads between stitches and then roll up the cloth strips. I don’t have any of the rugs I am sorry to say. I would think that the loom is probably the one that Mrs. McLain owned and used at one time. Sincerely, Dan Lee of Portland, OR (My right arm was mangled in a cord wood saw attached to A Model John Deer. I have been 75 years left-handed. May 12, 1944)

discovered a hidden camera, designed to look like a cell phone charger plug, on Sept. 6, 2018. The victim opened the device and retrieved a micro SD card, which he inserted into his cell phone in order to view its contents. The card included a secretly-recorded video of the victim. The child victim turned the device over to investigators. On Sept. 8, 2018, investigators with the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Department executed a search warrant at Williams’s residence and seized a laptop computer and an SD card. Each of those devices contained pornographic videos of two more teenage victims who were secretly recorded in the

basement bathroom. The laptop contained five distinct videos produced on five different days of a then-16-year-old victim. The laptop and the SD card contained several pornographic videos of a third victim who was then between 14 and 16 years old. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Luna. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Department. Project Safe Childhood This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual

Lawmakers take various looks at gun violence by Seth Bodine Missouri News Network

Efforts to reduce gun violence in Missouri were on the minds of both Senate Republicans and House Democrats on this week. Three Republican senators proposed bills that aim to modify or increase penalties for crimes related to gun use during a Senate judiciary committee hearing. On the same day, House Democrats highlighted several bills to address firearm violence. Senate bills 562 and 601 aim to increase or modify punishments for armed criminal actions. Senate Bill 538 modifies penalties related to unlawful possession of a firearm. Among the Republican bills, Senate Bill 601 would increase minimum sentences with crimes committed with a deadly weapon, among other measures. Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, R-Parkville, said the bill is aimed at reducing the release of violent offenders on parole. “We must acknowledge that the proper place for violent criminals is in prison — not on probation,” Luetkemeyer said. “Just like mass incarceration for minor crime is misguided, so too is mass release for violent crime.” Several of those who testified supported the bill, including Brad Thielemier of the Missouri State Troopers Association and Darrell Moore, executive director of Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri legislative and policy director Sara Baker opposed the bill. She said she

is sympathetic to what Leutkemeyer is trying to do — her parents were robbed at gunpoint in St. Louis. But she doesn’t think enhancing penalties for armed criminal action is going to lead to the future they are hoping for and doesn’t see how it would further decrease crime. “I think we need to focus on the things that have a proven record of decreasing crimes so we can make all of our communities safer,” Baker said. Some of the legislation Democrats discussed include House Bill 1260, which would prohibit certain people like those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from possessing a gun and would bring Missouri law into conformity with federal law. House Bill 1829 would prohibit anyone from possessing a firearm after a judge determined that they are a risk to themselves or others. House Minority Leader Rep. Crystal Quade, D-Springfield, said the legislative package is supposed strike a balance between respecting constitutional rights and protecting people from gun violence. “We believe in protections for law-abiding gun owners and we count many gun owners among our caucus,” Quade said. “But we also believe that strong gun rights for those who act responsibly can and must coexist with common sense laws to keep guns out of the hands who don’t.” Quade didn’t comment on the specific Senate bills, but said tougher criminal penalties is not something they would support.

The 192 facilities being licensed are the top-scoring dispensary facilities that meet all eligibility requirements as prescribed by the program rules. “Today’s milestone represents over a year of effort by many people to put the final piece in place so that appropriately screened patients in Missouri can receive medical marijuana,” said Dr. Randall Williams, director of DHSS. “We thank all who have helped us to date, and we will continue to listen so that we can best serve the people of our state.” Once all approvals and denials have been issued, the department will post the final rank/ scores of all medical marijuana dispensary facility applicants to its website.

Words from the Third Branch by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Each year, members of both the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives gather to hear two major presentations. On Jan. 15 we learned the governor’s vision for the year via the State of the State Address. Exactly one week later, we heard from the chief justice of the Missouri Supreme Court and his annual State of the Judiciary Address. The State of the Judiciary gives lawmakers an opportunity to hear about those issues affecting the judicial branch, and what assistance the legislative branch can offer in the new year. The chief justice spent time talking about Missouri’s bicentennial, which is coming next year, and the changes that have been made in the nearly 200

years we have been a state. Some of these changes include the members of circuit courts in our state and the process of ensuring everybody in our state has equal justice and equal access to the law. He also mentioned the success rate of treatment courts, which have proven to be a successful tool in the fight against drug addiction. Where the approach to drugs used to be “lock them up,” we have learned there are other ways to treat those who suffer from addiction, rather than just put them into a cell. Public safety and criminal justice reform also rank high on the Missouri Supreme Court’s list, much the same it does for the governor and the Legislature. This is where the three branches work together.

Cost of electricity may decrease; Dan McCann now east alderman

as city moves on HGTV application Gallatin City Administrator Lance Rains reports that the Missouri Public Utility Alliance is currently estimating the cost of electricity to decrease by 7% during 2021-2022 for the City of Gallatin. The decrease may occur if certain things take place, like the Grain Belt Electrical Transmission Line. During the Jan. 27 public meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen, Mr. Rains announced that Daniel (Dan) McCann was the only person to declare as a candidate for the vacant east ward alderman position. Mayor Ballew recommended the appointment of Dan McCann to serve the remaining term as east ward alderman until the April 2020 election and the board approved. Investment CD rates and terms were reviewed. The following transactions were approved for the use of the $700,000 balance in WA/SW CD’s that were cashed in December: $350,000 – 24 month CD – BTC Bank APY 2.10%; $100,000 – 12 month CD – BTC Bank APY 1.85%; $250,000 – Leave balance remaining in checking for the sewer plant clarifier replacement project. Police Chief Mark Richards was transporting juveniles and wasn’t able to attend the meeting. Concerns The 7% electricity rate were noted regarding a dog incident on decrease may occur only North Adams Street if certain things take and a residential complaint on South Water place, like the Grain Belt Street. Electrical Transmission All public works departments have been busy plowing snow, spreading sand and salt, fixing water leaks, and resolving electrical outages. Additional salt and sand orders have been delivered. Public Works Director Mark Morey is expecting a trucking quote for salt purchased through MFA Ag. Gallatin MFA Ag has already provided a quote for the salt. Lease may finance vacuum trailer The demo vacuum trailer from Ditch Witch has been delivered, but crews haven’t been able to use the demo trailer yet. Discussion was held on the financing quotes to purchase the vacuum trailer. The lowest bid was provided by USDA, but would require the Friends of Gallatin organization to purchase the vacuum trailer with the City of Gallatin leasing the equipment. The board approved a motion for Friends of Gallatin to finance a 5-year note with USDA at 2.75% to purchase a vacuum trailer from Ditch Witch. Mr. Rains will begin advertising for a full time water operator position that’s budgeted at $15/hour. Christopher Plant recently passed his Class C Water Operator Certification. The city now has three employees with the Class C Certification and one employee with the Class A Certification. Bills totaling in the amount of $37,064.68 were approved for payment. The board was asked to consider an exemption on vacation use for one employee, but the request was denied. Mr. Rains is waiting on USDA’s approval regarding the drafted interfund transfer ordinance. HGTV application taking shape Mr. Rains and other Gallatin residents are working diligently on the HGTV application for Hometown Takeover. Rains will be focusing on the Gallatin Business Leaders Presentation after the HGTV application is submitted. There are 19 local businesses that are interested in the proposed presentations. An ordinance was passed authorizing the City of Gallatin to execute an agreement for confinement of prisoners with the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail. The People Service O&M Report for December 2019 was reviewed. The board discussed filling the vacant board president position. Alderman Carol Walker was approved as the Board President effective immediately. Mayor Ballew signed a proclamation setting Feb. 2-9 as Scouts-BSA Anniversary Week and expressing appreciation to the Pony Express Council and the Scouts-BSA for their interest in and dedication to America’s Youth. Mr. Rains announced to the board the recent state approval of a medical marijuana dispensary license to be located at 509 North Main Street, Gallatin. Rains didn’t have any other information to provide to the board, but he will be working on the necessary ordinances that will need to be approved for the dispensary. The above are the unapproved minutes of the public meeting held at City Hall on Jan. 27. Present were: Mayor Barb Ballew, Dan Lockridge, Carol Walker, Steve Evans; City Administrator Lance Rains, City Clerk Hattie Rains, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett and Dan McCann.

Phony money leads to arrest of three The Gallatin Police Department received a report Jan. 28 regarding persons of interest suspected of passing phony money used at a retail store in Gallatin. Gallatin Police located the suspect vehicle after receiving a tip from local business. Police attempted to stop the suspect vehicle but the driver would not pull over. After failing to stop for the police, a chase ensued. The suspects were driving an older model pickup that resulted in lower speeds as they tried to flee. They lost control of the pickup in Breckenridge where the three occupants of the vehicle were arrested on various charges. The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office; the Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Caldwell County assisted. This is an ongoing investigation and no other details were available at this time. The phony money report appeared on the Gallatin Police Department’s Facebook page which resulted in a tremendous response from the community. The Gallatin Police appreciates everyone who took the time to call in information.

Balanced scoring advances GHS boys to HIT semifinals Gallatin’s boys came out of the gate fast against Trenton in Tuesday night’s first round action in the Hamilton Tournament and they never took their foot off the pedal. Gallatin led by as many as 28 points before subbing heavily at the end of the contest. The 7353 victory pushed the #3 seeded Bulldogs into Thursday night’s semifinal round against #2 East Buchanan, which blasted Braymer, 60-30, also on Tuesday. Gallatin forced the pace in the first quarter and got out to a 20-5 lead that was aided by a 14-0 run closing out the period. Dylan Burns hit a short jumper off the press breaker and Aidan Adkison cashed in off a steal to lift Gallatin to a 44-20 advantage earlier in the second period. Payton Feiden scored off a JJ Waters lob pass to double the GHS advantage, 54-27, with 1:33 left in the opening half. Gallatin surged to a 23-14 scoring advantage in the third quarter and upped the lead to 64-34 early in the fourth quarter

Waters pumped in 10 from the low post. Feiden finished with 8 points and Landon Corwin chipped in 5. Gallatin and East Buchanan take the court at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Girls fall, 56-6 It was a tough night for the Lady Bulldogs as they matched up with top-seeded East Buchanan. Gallatin trailed 15-0 after the first quarter and did not score until Carli Beck hit down low off a Presley Wells bounce pass in the lane. Wells and Libby Endicott added lone free throws in the first half as their team trailed, 34-4, after 2 periods. Claire Hemry added a bucket for the Lady Bulldogs in the third period. Gallatin faces Braymer tonight (Wednesday) in a consolation elimination game at 5:45.

Missouri’s losing streak stretches to four games

The Winston Redbirds will play Tri-County on Feb. 6 in a game that had been cancelled by weather. Stewartsville was the scheduled opponent but they needed to play a conference makeup game that night. No date for the game with Stewartsville has been determined yet. A makeup game with Osborn is scheduled for Feb. 17.

By Benjamin Herrold It was another tough week for the Missouri men’s basketball team, a refrain that is getting all-too-familiar yet again. The Tigers suffered a brutal 6664 home loss to Texas A&M on Tuesday, and then were routed 74-51 at West Virginia on Saturday in the Big 12-SEC challenge.

Missouri (9-10, 1-5 in SEC through Sunday) lost its fourth straight game on Saturday. The Tigers had another dreadful start on offense before rallying to within one at half. But in the second half the Mountaineers (16-3, 4-2 in the Big 12) took charge, rolling to the win as Missouri, which made only 28% of its shots, simply couldn’t keep up. For the fifth time in six seasons, the Tigers are at or near the bottom of the SEC standings. For Missouri fans, it is disheartening for the situation to be this bad in the third year under coach Cuonzo Martin. Martin is a good

guy who coaches defense and effort well, but he’ll need to get his team to generate at least a little more offense to have significant success in Columbia. Martin doesn’t bear the blame for the three terrible years under Kim Anderson before him, and in fact it’s worth noting Martin took over a program at rock bottom, but Tiger fans have had to endure the combined losing seasons. The crowds have been sparse at Mizzou Arena, and it’s hard to blame fans for not paying the money and making the drive and walking up the darn hill to the

On a base bearing his now-famous nickname, the bobblehead features “Bad Luck Chuck” sitting on his couch wearing a t-shirt that says, “BAD LUCK CHUCK-DO IT FOR THE KINGDOM,” along with his knit cap. The bobbleheads, which will be individually numbered, are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store. Penn, a 31-year-old postal clerk from Missouri and lifelong Chiefs fan who is known to cause

the Chiefs to lose when he is in attendance, went to the AFC Division Championship game against Houston after spending $258 on a ticket. When the Chiefs fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter and later 24-0, Penn tweeted a video of himself leaving Arrowhead Stadium in hopes of reversing his team’s fortune. In the 31-second video he said he was leaving to watch the remainder of the game from the comforts of home. The Chiefs went on to score 42 unanswered points en route to one of the biggest comebacks in NFL playoff history.

arena when the team is not only bad, but also tough to watch, usually struggling with the basic task of putting the ball in the hoop. Add in a home nonconference schedule that looks like it was designed to pad the win column and not to provide interesting games for fans, and it’s impressive the Tigers have drawn the crowds that they have. But as tough as things have been, Missouri has occasionally produced cool moments this season, in particular the wins over Illinois and Florida. Also, two-thirds of the SEC schedule remains, the Tigers have a lot of chances to turn things around somewhat. Missouri will have several games in the SEC that are on paper nearly tossups, including Saturday’s game at South Carolina (2:30 p.m. on SEC Network). The Gamecocks (11-8, 3-3 in SEC through Sunday) are starting to get some traction after a slow start, entering the week having won three of their last four. After leading South Carolina to a Final Four in 2017, a massive accomplishment for the school, Frank Martin’s Gamecocks went 16-16 and then 17-16 before being just above .500 this season. But South Carolina has mostly younger contributors, and they could be building up to another solid team, or perhaps even better. On the road, this will be a tough test for Missouri. But it’s not an impossible ask, and a win here would help the Tigers get this season back on the rails.

And it’s famous! It’s Missouri’s deepest cave, and, in fact, this here’s how Silver Dollar City got its start.” “Oh, really?” Now Molly was curious. “Course,” Elsie said. “Are you visiting from somewhere?” “I’m from St. Louis!” Molly answered. “Well, you’re what we like to call a tourist. Lots of tourists come to visit Silver Dollar City. Before they built the theme park, this cave was the tourist attraction! But its history goes even, ahem, deeper,” Elsie chuckled. Elsie told Molly how the original people to live in Missouri’s Ozarks, the Osage, first discovered the cave a long, long time ago. Molly shivered as Elsie described the scary noises these Native Americans heard coming from within its entrance. “They never went in it,” she said. “They nicknamed it the Devil’s Den.” “It sounds scary. How did anyone know it was safe to go inside it?” “Well,” Elsie said. “In the year 1541 Spanish Explorers were looking all over for something called the Fountain of Youth. They thought if they found it, they would live forever!” “And they thought it was, um, in this cave?” Molly asked dumbstruck. “Well, they didn’t know where it was,” Elsie said. “They looked all over.

Legend has it that they even looked for it right here in this cave. Of course, no one found the Fountain of Youth here or anywhere. But eventually the locals learned this cave was no Devil’s Den either.” Molly listened as Elsie described how hundreds of years later, more explorers entered the cave in search of riches in the form of mineral deposits. In 1869, an expedition led by a St. Louisan named Henry Blow lowered themselves more than 200 feet into the entrance of the cave, in search of lead. Molly imagined dangling on a rope and descending into pitch darkness. They must have been really brave explorers, she thought. The men searched the cave by lantern light, in hopes of discovering lead ore, a valuable mineral. When they surfaced that evening, the fearless spelunkers reported to Henry Blow that they’d found no lead, but they convinced him that the cave must be full of marble! “Wow,” Molly said, imagining a beautiful glistening white cave filled with beautiful marble. “That’s when Devil’s Den’s name changed to Marble Cave.” “Marble?” Molly asked. “I thought you said it was Marvel?” “Well, that name came later,” Elsie said. “It changed because, as it turns out, no one ever did find any marble.” “What did they find?” Molly asked. “A cave full of bat guano!” “Guano? What’s that?” Elsie laughed and looked at Molly with sparkling eyes. “Bat guano is, well, poop!”

Reece inducted into ‘distinguished alumni wall of fame’

Phillip Esposito takes a breathing treatment.

Phillip Esposito out of hospital Phillip Esposito is out of the hospital. He has moved to an apartment and will remain in St. Louis for 5-7 months. “Phillip is in an apartment now where he can have a home cooked meal and rest at his leisure,” his mother, Tiffony Esposito says. “Our days are full of things at the hospital but it’s nice to come and go.” Phillip had a double lung transplant on Nov. 6, at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Phillip is having some rejection issues but is working through them with medication. Phillip has struggled with lifethreatening cystic fibrosis (CF) since he was three months old. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects many areas of the body including the lungs and digestive system. There is no cure. Three days after the transplant, Phillip had a pulmonary embolism that affected his heart; he had to be intubated a second time. He remained in ICU for three weeks. Once moved to the floor, Phillip had severe antibodies rejection and was at a very critical stage, in danger of his body rejecting the donor lungs. The medical staff gave him another three weeks of rejection medication which totally depleted his system. Phillip had fluid on the lungs, and the drain tube stayed in place for six weeks. “He was down to 88 pounds and it was a troubling time for us all,” Tiffony says. He had other complications with bleeding and kidney issues. Phillip celebrated his 21st birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s all in the hospital. “Needless to say Phillip has come around full circle and is doing great,” she says. Phillip has pulmonary rehab five days a week, and labs and x-rays three times a week. The doctors and nurses keep a close eye on levels for rejection. Phillip was always against getting a lung transplant. He said he came into the world with what God gave him and he’d go out with the same. His day-to-day struggle with CF, and now his transplant fight has made Phillip realize he would not be here today if not for his donor. Phillip and his family did a tour of the Mid-American transplant building where all the organs and tissues are brought for donation. They are tested and then shipped to the proper hospital. “Phillip has a long way to go, but everyday is a blessing and we make the most of it,” Tiffony says. Phillip expresses his thanks to all his hometown friends that reached out, and the many prayers. Send Phillip

a card at 1030 Highland Plaza Drive E Apt. 112, St. Louis, MO, 63110-1344. “Please take the time and think about saving someone else’s life,” Tiffony says. Register as an organ donor. The process of registering as an organ donor in Missouri is very easy. You can register in person or online at your local MO Department of Revenue office. There is no cost to be included on the organ donor registry and the information will be kept confidential. In Person You can add your name to the state’s donor registry every time you apply for or renew your Missouri driver’s license or state ID card. You can also write your choices on the back of your MO driver’s license. There is a space to designate which organs you would like to donate.

MDC Trenton burn workshop The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host a free prescribed fire workshop from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, at the Lager Building on the Barton Farm Campus of North Central Missouri College near Trenton. Pre-registration is required by Feb. 5. To register, contact MDC Private Land Conservationist Scott Roy at 660-359-5685, ext. 114, or scott.roy@mdc.mo.gov.

A Harrisonville High School (HHS) graduate will become the 53rd alum inducted into the HHS Distinguished Alumni Wall of Fame during court warming activities at HHS on Feb. 14. Stuart Reece, HHS Class of 1990, has 24 years of teaching and coaching experience. He has been recognized in both areas with numerous awards and honors; however, it is the lessons he teaches beyond the classroom and court that make Reece stand out. Reece has been the boys’ and girls’ tennis coach for Lee’s Summit North (LSN) since 2003. As part of the program, he created Fun Fridays inviting any youth to enjoy tennis lessons provided free of charge by his players on Friday afternoons. From that, he developed a program through which LSN tennis players traveled to courts near Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School in Kansas City to provide free lessons for children in the inner city. His players also provide morning clinics in the winter at a Lee’s Summit middle school. His and his players’ outreach work was recognized with the NAIA Team of Character Award and the WDAF/Fox4 Reaching for Excellence Award in 2016. Reece was also selected as a National Association of Intercol-

Black named to dean’s list Katerina Black of Gilman City has been named to Dickinson State University’s Dean’s List for the 2019 fall semester. At the end of each regular semester, the University recognizes those students named to the Dean’s List. Eligible students must be enrolled full-time and must earn a 3.5 GPA or higher.

legiate Athletics (NAIS) Coach of Character. Reece also created a “no-cut” tennis program at Lee’s Summit North. This philosophy encourages all to participate to learn and enjoy a “lifelong sport.” In its first year, the no-cut program brought in 60 girls to the program (compared to 25). He developed a novice tournament so that all have an opportunity to compete. He was named a USTA National All-Star No-Cut Coach in 2016. Finally, Reece adopted a “code” for LSN tennis which his players and parents receive at the start of the season, and which are posted at the courts. The “code” states that “playing tennis by the code when you are on the court helps you make your match a positive experience for everyone. Living the code while you are off the court has the same effect.” An example of the code is making a call accurately on the court and in life. This translates to living with integrity so that no one ever questions your judgement or decisions. Reece currently teaches health at Bernard Campbell Middle School in the Lee’s Summit School District. He has received the Lee’s Summit R-7 Teacher of Distinction Award (2017), and the Lee’s Summit R-7 Excellence in Education Award (2016). He was also a Lee’s Summit Teacher of the Year finalist in 2016. In 2013, he led the girls’ team to become Kansas City’s only public school in MSHSAA tennis history to win a boys’ or girls’ state championship. As a coach, he was the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Missouri Tennis Coach of the Year in 2014. He was also the United States Tennis Association (USTA)/Heart of America High School Coach of the Year in 2016. He’s also served as a var-

sity assistant girls’ basketball coach at Lee’s Summit West and Lee’s Summit High School R e e c e earned his undergraduate degree in second- Stuart Reece ary education/ physical education from William Jewell College and his master’s in athletic administration, health and physical education from Northwest Missouri State University. In addition to Lee’s Summit, he’s taught and coached in the Hillsboro R-3, Northwest, and Macks Creek R-V school districts. During high school, he was involved in math club, Spanish club, vocal music, scholar bowl, basketball and tennis at HHS. Reece has been married to Rebekah for 23 years and has two daughters, Julia and Katie. Reece serves as a Deacon in the First Baptist Church of Lee’s Summit and helps sponsor Club121 at Campbell Middle School. Rebekah (Michael) Reece is the daughter of David and Kayla Michael of rural northeast Gallatin. Rebekah went to school at TriCounty R-7 in Jamesport from 1976 to 1986 and attended Northwestern R-1 at Mendon from 1987 to her graduation in 1989. The public is invited to a reception to honor Reece from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, in the Harrisonville High School library. He will be introduced to the community between the JV and varsity boys’ basketball games that night at approximately 6:45 p.m. in the gym.

Local Emergency Planning Committee annual meeting, continue to look for affordable drone; new plan drafted The annual meeting of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is set for 12 noon on Jan. 29, at Dockery Park in Gallatin. The agenda includes an update on the purchase of a drone using Chemical Emergency Preparedness Funds; nominations for officers; and upcoming training. David Roll reported he had been looking at a cost-effective drone during the meeting of the Local Emergency Planning Committee held in November 2019. The drone he looked at had an infrared camera and was very expensive. He can look at an option for a detachable camera; however, they can also be $3,0004,000. It was noted that drone classes were being offered for free for Region H by the Platte County Sheriff’s Department. You could get a FAA license with this class. Jerry Rahm offered to be a back-up drone operator. Roll reported on a volunteer symposium he attended with Community Organization Active in Disaster members, Roy and Ashley Bontrager. Mark Morey, Gallatin City Maintenance Supervisor, reported the Jamesport generator is running. It just needs batteries and an oil change. A motion carried for LEPC to pay for this. The other generator that does not run was discussed and a motion carried to put it up for auction. Roll reported the county Local Emergency Operations Plan was drafted and ready to be viewed.

Current by-laws were discussed, and the need to update and present them at the annual meeting in January. Caldwell County offered a Community Emergency Response Team training to anyone who was interested. MU Extension has a pilot program available in Daviess County for Missouri Youth Preparedness Initiative. This teaches youth ages 13-19 about preparedness. A parent must sign off on the program. New Missouri Emergency Response Commission director is Mike Harris. He reported on a workshop in Hamilton regarding a severe weather event. Mental Health First Aid program was presented at the First Christian Church in Gallatin in November by Preferred Family Healthcare. Ralph Dishong reminded everyone that Red Cross still has smoke alarms available for those in need. Sheltering was discussed. Cheryl Alexander, Daviess County Health Department, reported the health department had seen one case of the flu, but had given many flu shots. The above are the unapproved minutes of the November 2019 meeting of LEPC. Those in attendance at the November meeting were Jim Ruse, Daviess County Presiding Commissioner; David Cox, Daviess County Commissioner; Wayne Uthe, Daviess County Commissioner; Jerry Rahm, Guest; Alan Fender, Jamesport Fire and Rescue;

Doug Hamilton, Gallatin Fire District; Daniel L. Wilson, Gallatin Fire/DC EMS; Ralph Dishong American Red Cross; Michael Booth, SEMA; Pat O’Conner, KAW FPD; Rev. Robert A.

Elderberries the ‘cure’ for these entrepreneurs Think Ahead Works plans open house at King City facility tomorrow If there’s a break in the weather and you feel like taking a daytrip, head down the highway to King City. Think Ahead Works will hold an open house from 2:30-4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 105-107 West Vermont Street. The public is invited to attend and tour the facility. Refreshments and program information will be available. Think Ahead Works recently added a commercial

Judy and Wayne Hayes

kitchen to support local food producers such as bakers and farmers as they expand their business market. Diamond H. Elderberry Farms, LLC, rents the commercial kitchen to prepare elderberry juice which is available to purchase on their Facebook page. Diamond H. Elderberry Farm is located just outside of Grant City. “This will be our eighth year of growing elderberries,” says Judy Hayes. Judy and her husband, Wayne, own and operate the farm. Most of the acreage is leased out. The Hayes began as traditional famers raising cattle and crops on their 1,300-acre farm. Then Judy developed three auto immune diseases and had to quit. “I was always sick,” she says. “A friend introduced me to elderberry juice, which is great for the immune system. It was amazing. I did some research and started planting.” Not only would elderberries be good for Judy’s health, they would turn into a great little side business. Like any farmer, Judy didn’t just plant one elderberry bush, she planted a bunch in 2012. It takes three years for elderberries to mature, so by

2015, they were full-grown. “I’ve been making jellies since I was 15,” she says. “We now sell elderberry juice and jellies.” She gets asked a lot about elderberry wine. “My husband and I don’t drink. To make wine requires all kinds of licensing. We don’t want to go down that road just now.” Plus, they would have to grow a whole lot more elderberries. “We are at the mercy of how many we can raise,” she says. “We are selling the whole crop every year.” She says the Think Ahead Works commercial kitchen has been a blessing. “We were using a kitchen in Independence,” she says. “This one in King City is way closer to home, so we were thrilled to death.” Diamond H. Elderberry Farms rents the kitchen for so many hours a month. Judy says she will probably use it twice a month for a whole day. The lack of a brick and mortar store front hasn’t stopped their business from growing. “We do several vendors markets each year and have a decent following,” Judy says. “Lots of people call for the product. I deliver for larger orders. We have our presence on Facebook and orders from it are picking up. We are Certified Naturally Grown.” Diamond H Elderberry Farm is FDA inspected, along with all the usual health inspections required of growers.

Entrepreneurs get cooking The idea to provide a fully equipped commercial kitchen in the Gentry County region began when Mosaic Life Care Foundation realized the opportunity to encourage aspiring rural entrepreneurs who lacked the space and resources necessary to conduct business. The commercial kitchen and restaurant/market space are fully operational. St. Joseph’s Café Belle Epoque and Friedrich’s Market provide a small restaurant and market items for sale each Thursday. Think Ahead Works also offers youth educational programming and a business incubator.

New, improved newspaper website launched and available online now A major upgrade to this newspaper’s website is now online. Now subscribers who access NorthMissourian.com on their mobile devices will see news displayed in larger fonts with few reasons to scroll other than downward for additional news. The new format enables viewers to more easily sort news by categories. Sharing posts on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and others can be done by a single click. The new format also displays video more effectively. This is the first major update to the newspaper’s website since changing to the Wordpress format several years ago. As before, each week’s print edition also is displayed in a digital “page flip” format for those who subscribe to the online newspaper. The page flip is identical to the traditional print edition. This feature is best

viewed by desktop computer where pages can be enlarged for easy reading. Thus, each week’s newspaper can be viewed in its entirety beginning each Wednesday afternoon soon after the new edition is printed. Policies and advertising rates plus an explanation of print copy distribution as well as a community calendar, classified ads, and archive with text search are featured. There’s also a page of community links, including a map of Gallatin in .pdf format for easy printer output. The North Missourian has been online since 2000. Print editions of this permanent journal are bound each year in books archived at Gallatin Publishing Company. Microfilm of both the Gallatin Democrat and Gallatin North Missourian are available for public use at the Daviess County Library.

Local food pantry to close lect food, assisting clients carry food to their vehicles, overseeing food distribution as well as doing the bookkeeping,” says Mrs. Reed. “The food bank has to do things according to the rules of Second Harvest and government rules regarding surplus food.” “We would like people to realize how important the food bank is to the community,” says Kathy Pedroza. She is Mrs. Reed’s daughter and has been helping her the past month, since her injury. Mrs. Pedroza notes that government commodities are delivered to the food bank by Second Harvest. (Second Harvest Community Food Bank is a nonprofit food distribution center out of St. Joseph, which helps families, individuals and seniors across a 19-county region.) The food bank collects food items, including fresh produce from Walmart (food bank picks up, it is not delivered), and shelfstable foods are donated by in-

dividuals, churches, boy scouts, and the post office. Deer meat comes through Share the Harvest. Northwestern Produce donates fresh vegetables. Cyndi Jones reported on the food poundage provided by the food bank: 1,805 families/ 4,223 individuals were helped in 2019. Walmart and Second Harvest provided 39,818 pounds of food. Senior boxes provided 41,580 pounds of food to 80 people in Gallatin and 19 people in Pattonsburg. Together that’s 81,398 pounds yearly. This food poundage does not include the milk program or emergency food. The Gallatin Adventist Community Services Center had its start more than 20 years ago. Within that original center was a very small emergency food bank, tucked into various nooks and hallways. The current Daviess County Food Bank grew from that little one. The current food bank was equipped with coolers, freezers,

(continued from page 1)

spacious accommodations and a broad selection of food items. Over the years, the ACSC enlarged its buildings, including areas dedicated to a food bank, amplified the foods, and began distributing government commodities. The Community Services Center is the umbrella organization, supporting both a thrift shop and the food bank. The thrift shop will continue. The new addition, Bill’s Barn at the front of the Thrift Store, was built utilizing the generous gifts donated in his honor. The formal closing date of the food bank will be announced.

Call the right play for your weekend and plan sober ride home from Super Bowl party: Go Chiefs! For the first time in 50 years, Missouri’s very own Kansas City Chiefs are Miami bound for Super Bowl LIV. As you cheer on your home team next weekend, the only crash you should hope to hear is the crunch of football players colliding – not that of your vehicle into another. Throughout

the weekend of February 2, there will be numerous Super Bowl celebrations happening across the state. Many of these celebrations may include alcohol. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety urges football fans to get their game plan established ahead of time: plan a sober ride home.

DHSS & Center for Disease control provides update on novel coronavirus The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor and inform Missourians regarding the latest information about the novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) which causes symptoms similar to influenza and originated from Wuhan, China. The virus has spread to numerous countries, including the United States. As of this morning, five confirmed cases have now been reported within the United States in the states of Washington, Illinois, Arizona, and California. There are more than 100 active investigations across the nation. To date, there has been one patient under investigation in Missouri who tested negative for 2019-nCoV. “While we have no identified cases in Missouri, we will continue to be vigilant in our surveillance while tracking and monitoring national cases,” said Dr. Randall Williams, director of DHSS. “I met with CDC officials and other state health directors on Thursday and participated in a conference call on Sunday for a briefing from Washington state health officials where the first patient was identified. We and the CDC are prepared to help any patients who might present here and we encourage all providers and patients to maintain situational awareness.” Although DHSS has already executed its general authority

to require immediate reporting of nCoV, the Department also has filed an emergency rule to make this disease “immediately reportable” thereby providing it with additional tools to address this disease. Local and state public health agencies are working in partnership with health care providers throughout the state to ensure that those that need testing receive it. This includes those who: ·have been in Wuhan within the past two weeks, and, develop a fever, or ·develop a cough or have difficulty breathing. Those meeting this criteria are asked to call ahead before going to see a doctor or emergency room and to inform them of your symptoms and that you were in Wuhan. Patients may be tested for the coronavirus with results usually available within 24-48 hours, depending on CDC’s volume. During this time, the person should self-isolate and report the development of additional symptoms to their physician. Travelers either flying into or being rerouted to major airports in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Atlanta from China should expect enhanced screening for the symptoms described above. DHSS has established a dedicated website at health.mo.gov/ coronavirus for those seeking more information about this novel coronavirus with information the CDC.

Green Hills, Mid-States receive USDA funds for broadband investment The Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced an investment of $60.9 million in high-speed broadband infrastructure that will create or improve e-connectivity for more than 11,000 rural households, 81 farms, 73 businesses, 16 educational facilities, 12 critical community facilities and two health care facilities in rural Missouri. Two of those investments are in North Missouri. Green Hills Telephone Corporation will receive a $2.6 million grant and Mid-States Services LLC will receive a $3 million loan from the USDA’s ReConnect Pilot Program. “The lack of high speed internet in North Missouri is one of the greatest challenges we face today,” says Congressman Sam Graves. “Our schools, businesses and farms all depend on reliable broadband access. The ReConnect program was authorized by Congress to help address this critical need. “I’m thrilled that Green Hills Telephone Corporation and MidStates Services have received this funding and I’m glad that the USDA sees the importance of connecting rural Missouri,” said Graves. Green Hills Telephone Corporation will use a $2.6 million grant to expand its Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to rural areas in Caldwell and Livingston

counties. This investment is expected to reach 20 pre-subscribed farms, 20 pre-subscribed businesses, 546 households, a fire protection district and two educational facilities. Mid-States Services LLC will use a $3 million loan to provide unserved and underserved members in and around Trenton, Mo., with Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband services. This investment is expected to reach 566 households, a highway patrol office and an elementary school. In March 2018, Congress provided $600 million to USDA to expand broadband infrastructure and services in rural America. On Dec. 13, 2018, Secretary Perdue announced the rules of the program, called “ReConnect,” including how the loans and grants will be awarded to help build broadband infrastructure in rural America. USDA received 146 applications between May 31, 2019, and July 12, 2019, requesting $1.4 billion in funding across all three ReConnect Program funding products: 100% loan, 100% grant, and loan-grant combinations. USDA is reviewing applications and announcing approved projects on a rolling basis. Additional investments in all three categories will be made in the coming weeks.

In 2018, 203 people were killed and 541 seriously injured in traffic crashes that involved at least one substance-impaired driver. “One bad decision can affect all of us,” said MoDOT Assistant to the State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer Jon Nelson. “Help save lives – don’t drink and drive, and don’t let friends drink and drive.” If you’re attending a Super Bowl party or watching the game at a sports bar or restaurant: Designate your sober driver or plan another way to get home safely before the party begins. If you don’t have a designated driver, then ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come and get you; or just stay for the night. Never let friends drive if they’ve had too much to drink. If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take the keys and help them make safe travel arrangements. If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party: Make sure all of your guests designate a sober driver in advance or arrange for alternate transportation to ensure they get home safely. Serve food and include nonalcoholic beverages at the party. Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter of the game and begin serving coffee and dessert.

Keep the numbers for local cab companies handy and take the keys away from anyone who has had too much to drink. Make this year’s bowl party

SUPER. Whether you have had one too many or are way over the limit, impaired driving is not worth causing a traffic crash, serious injury or even death.
