Gallatin’s Graydee Rains won 4th place in the 220-pound weight class

4 state medalists push GHS to 9th Allen, Critten, Harris, Rains medal on 1A state mat by Dennis Cox, Sports Editor

Gallatin wrestlers brought home four medals from last weekend’s MSHSAA Class 1 Wrestling Championships held in Mizzou Arena, equaling or bettering last season’s place finishes in each case. Ross Critten, Drayton Harris and Graydee Rains each returned from Columbia with a fourth place medal. Keegan Allen earned a sixth place medal in his first state appearance. Critten and Harris were sixth place finishers last season and

Rains equaled his fourth place medal from 2017. Ayden Wayne, Rian Critten, Caleb Boyd and Tom Crouse competed for the Bulldogs at state but could not advance to the medal round. Allen won, 4-2, in his first 106-pound match over Jason Strope of Fatima, but fell in the quarterfinal round to eventual state champion Logan Ferrero of Whitfield. Allen won his next two matches to assure himself a medal. A loss to Marceline’s Dis(continued on page 11)

New R-5 principal chosen Nicole Thogmartin will be the new principal at Searcy R-5 Elementary in Gallatin for the 20182019 school year. Mrs. Thogmartin, originally from the Lake of the Ozarks, graduated from Camdenton High School. She received bachelor’s degrees in early childhood education and elementary education at Central Missouri University. She obtained her master’s degrees in curriculum and instruction and elementary administration at William Woods University. Nicole taught fifth grade at Centerview, near Warrensburg, for one year; grades 5-8 in Cameron for 16 years; and served as assistant principal at Minnie Cline Elementary School in Savannah for the past two years. She and her husband, Bret, have been married 19 years in July. They met at college and moved to the area to be near family. They have two children — daughter, Madison, 16, and a sophomore; and son, Drew, 12, a sixth grade student. “I am beyond excited to be a part of the Gallatin R-5 School District,” said Mrs. Thogmartin.

Nicole Thogmartin “I value and support the school’s culture with student learning as the driving force. “One of my goals as the elementary principal include working to maintain communication and a collaborative culture among all stakeholders including educators, parents, students, administration, and the community. “I’m looking forward to this amazing leadership opportunity,” she says.

The 2018 fall elections got more interesting on Feb. 14 when County Clerk Vicki Corwin officially notified the Daviess County Commission of her resignation from office effective Feb. 28, 2018. Mrs. Corwin also has notified the governor by resignation letter. Mrs. Corwin has been offered a bookkeeper position at Gallatin R-5 Schools effective March 1, 2018, according to the minutes of the R-5 Board of Education. The county commission is authorized to appoint an interim clerk. Then, local political parties usually submit names for the governor’s consideration so that

the governor can appoint a clerk to serve until the next election. This sequence occurred in order for Mrs. Corwin to take office. Mrs. Corwin was appointed county clerk following interim clerk Sally Black after the resignation of Linda Steward in June, 2013. Then Mrs. Corwin was elected as county clerk as an unopposed Democrat candidate in November, 2014. County clerk is just one of several offices to be determined in the upcoming fall elections. Tuesday, Feb. 27 is the opening day of candidate filing for any person interested in running for

the following Daviess County offices: associate circuit judge, presiding commissioner, county clerk, circuit clerk, recorder of deeds, prosecuting attorney, committeeman-woman. Interested persons may file at the county clerk’s office on the second floor of the courthouse. The office opens at 8 a.m. To expedite this process, each filer should have a current voter I.D. card, filing fee receipt from his respective party, and Form 5120 from the Department of Revenue. The last two items are not required for the committee person candidates.

Healthy feet, healthy body — reflexology spa opens in Gallatin by T.L. Huffman

Gallatin now has a commercial space in the “Doc Nixon” health building, dedicated to reflexology. Located at 215 N. Market St. in Gallatin, inside the B-Unique Salon, just north of Farmer’s Bank. Hearts & Hands Reflexology, owned and operated by Kathy Hensley, opened on Feb. 6, 2018. Reflexology is an ancient technique dating back about 5,000 years, originating in Egypt, Asia, and India, that helps the body restore and maintain its natural ability to heal itself. Reflexology is accomplished by working “reflex points” found on the feet, hands, and ears. These “reflex points” are connected to different organs and organ systems throughout the body.

By applying gentle pressure, in different ways, it helps balance out body functions; which can help alleviate the symptoms of a multitude of common ailments, both acute and chronic, such as pain, headaches/migraines, respiratory/allergy discomforts, and digestive issues. Reflexology provides endocrine/hormonal support, promotes relaxation, and supports the immune system. Additionally, foot zone therapy is also available, which is a more comprehensive form of reflexology and is especially helpful for addressing emotional issues, as well as physical ailments. “While reflexology is not a diagnostic tool, nor should it be considered as being curative, it has been found to be very supportive towards achieving and maintaining optimal health, in most cases,” said Kathy.

Kathy was introduced to reflexology after many years of struggling with serious chronic illnesses, such as chronic lung disease since birth and being diagnosed with severe hypertension at age 14. She says that “the previous five years had been especially difficult, to the point of becoming so debilitated and weak, that I had home health nurses coming into my home. Between the illnesses themselves and the side effects of medications, I could barely walk or function. I was so full of fluid, breathing was very difficult, and it was hard to even think or talk. I was tired of suffering and I didn’t want to fight anymore.” A few days after praying and asking God whether He was going to take her home or help her get better, a friend

February 21, 2018

Can you hear me? by Freida Marie Crump

A real story for the tooth fairy A dentist recently pulled the front teeth from our three-yearold granddaughter Emmy, following a household accident. Circumstances failed to deter the tooth fairy. In fact, the tooth fairy doubled down on the 50-cent tip to cover the trip to the dentist just in case the anesthesia failed to erase Emmy’s most unpleasant memories. Here’s a myth: Would you believe a recent survey by VISA found that the average child in the U.S. receives $3.70 per tooth! It’s true. I read it on the internet – so it just has to be true, right? You reckon they want you to pay by credit card? Actually, the whole tradition of playing tooth fairy is a little weird, isn’t it? Early Norse and European traditions date the myth back centuries but modern practices nearly faded away until 1927 when a book popularized what we would consider the modern tooth fairy. Then, largely due to Walt Disney’s fairy characters, the tooth fairy gained popularity and quickly became a presence in most American households during the past century. Baby teeth, however, once played a much bigger role in our evolving society, far more important than just perpetuating myth. Have you ever heard about the Baby Tooth Survey? The current edition of the Missouri Historical Review focused my attention to the time when I still had my baby teeth. In 1958, I was four years old and totally unaware of those turbulent times when concerns were real about nuclear weapon testing and H-bomb production. That was everybody’s problem, really. Nobody really knew the consequences of what we were all being subjected to in the escalating Cold War. A group of women and scientists organized near Washington University in St. Louis. Soon the 185 founding members of something called the Committee for Nuclear Information (CNI) launched a journal called Nuclear Information. One of its most influential articles focused not on the immediate effects but on what could be expected during the year following a nuclear bomb explosion. The scenario described two bombs striking St. Louis — one eight megatons and the other 10 — amid retaliating megaton bombs exploding worldwide. For the first time, many people began

to question if it’s ever possible to win a nuclear war. About this time connections were discovered about Strontium 90 (Sr-90) levels in St. Louis’s supply of milk delivered to households there and rates of bone cancer and leukemia. The Midwest was dubbed as a “hot spot” but more scientific data was needed. This prompted the Baby Tooth Survey.

itor s

by Darryl Wilkinson

The ingenious idea derived from a biochemist at John Hopkins University. He suggested scientists might collect enough deciduous teeth of children to get definitive results. The baby teeth of nine- and 10-year-olds in 1958 were targeted since they had formed in utero and early infancy precisely during the opening years of nuclear testing. In 1959 a lab was built at Saint Louis University. A massiveshield Geiger counter was built to precisely measure 25 to 90 baby teeth at a time. The baby teeth were crushed between two 250-pound steel plates, each carved out of the hull of a decommissioned WWI battleship. The lab became operational in 1961. The problem? All this isn’t warm and fuzzy like the tooth fairy. How would you convince thousands of everyday mothers of all races and creeds that scientists needed their children’s teeth more than the tooth fairy? Donation forms were placed in nearly every public and private school in the greater St. Louis area. Informational campaigns targeted children watching local TV shows like Romper Room, S.S. Popeye, Captain 11’s Showboat and Wranglers’ Cartoon Club. The biggest newspapers serving St. Louis took up the cause. Initially, the Baby Tooth Survey sought teeth only from within a 150-mile radius around St. Louis. Then came a deluge. By 1962, the survey reported 95,000 teeth collected; in six years there were 287,000 baby teeth collected. One of the big incentives was for kids to wear a shiny Operation Tooth button they received in the mail.

In 1962, after the operation had been testing mostly teeth coming from the immediate St. Louis area, similar projects spawned in New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Japan and Germany. The tooth survey in St. Louis, however, remained the largest and most successful. And the effort had impact. Civil Defense offices found CNI publications invaluable in the effort to alert the public about dangers. Eventually, presidential candidate Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota used CNI findings during Humphrey’s campaign to end the nuclear arms race. But the real political sea change occurred much more dramatically. On Oct. 30, 1961, multiple seismographs of the U.S. Geological Survey simultaneously recorded a shock that circled the earth three times. The seismic body wave magnitude of 5.25 let scientists know immediately this was not a normal five-point earthquake. The CIA notified President John F. Kennedy that the Soviets had detonated an H-bomb — estimated to be 1,570 times the combined explosive yield of the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki! On Nov. 1, approximately 50,000 American housewives went on strike in 60 cities protesting the nuclear arms race. There were reports of some women donning a placard shaped like a milk bottle and “topped with the skull” that bore the caption “Milk: Death, Disease, Deformity.” Leaders in Washington, D.C. attempted an awkward balancing act between showing strength to deter Soviet aggression and compassion to parents worried about their children’s safety. The Cuban Missile Crisis of October, 1962, only intensified things. At that very moment, the Baby Tooth Survey’s long-awaited results came in. CNI research indicated that children residing in Nevada and Utah since 1951 had been exposed to dangerous amounts of fallout from about one-third of the 99 atomic tests conducted in Nevada. Research showed that at least 12 cases of thyroid cancer occurred for every 3,000 children receiving milk from cows pastured in contaminated areas. Scientists in St. Louis demonstrated (continued on page 3)

Greetings from Poosey. So, I have this friend named Ellen whose name is not Ellen. But she reads this column so I’ll call her Ellen. She’s the most perverse person I know. No matter what position I take on something, Ellen will maintain the opposite opinion. I used to think she was playing some sort of strange game with me but lately I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s just plain obstinate. She doesn’t drink coffee. She once told me that there would be no coffee in heaven. I politely informed my friend that it could not possibly be heaven without coffee. Ellen is just perverse. We once sat down together to eat lunch at a summer camp where macaroni and cheese was the main course. She stopped eating, looked at me, and said, “What are you doing?” I told her that I was putting ketchup on my mac and cheese. She said, “You’re kidding.” I told her I wasn’t. Back when I was in high school the cooks even put ketchup on the table when mac and cheese day rolled around. Heck, everybody did it. Ellen thought it was disgusting. But remember, Ellen is perverse. We often end up in the same church service and Ellen favors the more modern type of service where the congregation sings by watching the words projected on a screen in the front of the sanctuary. She tells me this is an improvement over the traditional hymn books because it gets people’s noses up out of the book and pointed toward God. I tell her that I’ve never really had a desire to point my nose toward God. Besides that, I like the feel of a hymn book. I mean, otherwise, what do you do with your hands? She says I should raise them in the air. I tell him that would make my arms tired and besides that, I’m Presbyterian and they’d probably call a doctor if I spent the entire service with my hands in the air. She tells me that computer generated hymns are cheaper than hymnals. I tell her that you can’t follow the musical line with only words instead of notes. She disagrees, but what would you expect from someone so perverse? Once upon a time Ellen and I shared a hotel room while we were attending a conference. The meeting was held in mid-January so a bit of heat was a necessity in our room. We nearly came to blows. Ellen insisted on firing up the thermostat to egg-poaching temperatures while I cannot sleep unless my bedroom is cold. I told Ellen to have her way and kick it up as high as she liked then as soon as she started snoring I got up and turned the dial back down to more arctic levels. It’s a minor thing, but Ellen puts salt on her watermelon. I find that revolting. Why not just eat popcorn? Ellen reads three sections of any newspaper: the comics, the sports page, and the horoscopes. I skip all three and read only the news. Sometimes Ellen reads my horoscope aloud to me and I’m forced to throw things at her. Ellen has this strange habit when we sit down to eat a meal in a restaurant or anywhere else. She’ll immediately grab his glass of whatever liquid is available and gulp the whole thing down before she eats a bite of food. I think this is weird. Maybe even perverse. She says that real chili doesn’t contain beans. I tell her this is ridiculous and I have indisputable proof: my mother put beans in her chili and Mom wasn’t perverse. I put ranch dressing on my salad and Ellen eats hers naked. I mean, you know, she’s fully dressed but she puts nothing on his lettuce and tomatoes. She swallows them bare. I like my ice cream au naturale, without any toppings to cover up the taste of the actual thing. Ellen loads hers with nuts and syrups and potions to the point where he can’t even tell what flavor of ice cream she’s eating. We can’t even eat hotdogs together as Ellen insists on using ketchup while every red-blooded American knows that wieners are not happy unless slathered with mustard. With Ellen, perversity knows know limits. But it’s the strangest thing ...Ellen is my best friend. I’d do anything for her and she’d gladly step in front of a speeding grocery cart for me. We’ve found that it’s possible to have disagreements yet still get along. Hello, Congress. Can you hear me? You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Living up to our Constitution means don’t give up by Dr. Rachel Douchant and Prof. Darren Marhanka

Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), escaped slave, abolitionist, and public intellectual, could be excused for doubting our Constitution; after all, it did in fact require the return of runaway slaves. Upon reflection, however, Douglass changed his mind insisting that the real “problem is whether the American people have loyalty enough, honor enough, patriotism enough, to live up to their own constitution.” We’re living through a particularly contentious moment when it comes to the relationship of the Constitution to our everyday lives. Case in point: several students handing out pocket Constitutions on various public college campuses have sued over being told they had to cease and desist ...and won. Free speech issues on campus, unrest over police action, even debates over Department of Family Services’ protocol: the next news story could easily involve you or me or any of us.

Our readers write ...in the wake of yet another school shooting in our country

Dear Editor: Today when you dropped off your kid at school, I hope you kissed them goodbye. I hope you left them there with no regrets. I hope that, like the old adage, “don’t go to bed angry,” you dropped them off at school with a clean slate, with no regrets.

This is your last day of being a parent. This day your child dies. Shot down due to lack of any commitment or concern by your government.

At risk in the village Out of the horror of yet another mass school shooting, questions arise every time. Who was the shooter? How come no one realized he was a student at risk? Had something just happened to set him off? Why? Why? Why? I remember vividly the 1999

Tooth fairy (continued from page 2) that much of the radiation had derived from more recent underground tests, venting radiation in water, soil and sky. On Aug. 5 President Kennedy signed legislation banning nuclear testing. At the time, scientists estimated that if nuclear testing continued through 1965 as in 1962, there would have been a 100 fold increase in Sr-90 absorption by St. Louis one-year-olds. The Baby Tooth Survey was discontinued in 1969. By then, the above ground testing had ceased long enough for a dramatic decrease in Sr-90 uptake in St. Louis children. Scientists could assume that as long as the test ban was in place, levels of Sr-90 in Earth’s atmosphere would remain negligible. But the impact of the Baby Tooth Survey was far from over. In 1963, while CNI was still fixated on issues of radiation, CNI announced plans to tackle related environmental hazards including air pollution with smog, water pollution with industrial

wastes, and other technologies that change man’s world. Activists embraced the term “ecology” (from the Greek oekologie, or study of “home”) to identify a way of thinking analytically about the relationships between human and nonhuman nature. The nation’s first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, was a huge success. It marks a significant moment in the history of the environment and women’s activism. Thus, the women who organized to fight nuclear testing proved to be a staging area for women’s liberation, and the CNI essentially morphed into the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Whoddathunk? Until reading this, I never knew about the Baby Tooth Survey. I just paid my dues of parenthood, 50-cents at a time playing tooth fairy as needed (and whenever I could remember it). Doing so always seemed a bit strange to me. The real is much stranger than the myth, isn’t it?

It was April. Many students were about to graduate. Many were thinking about how they would spend summer vacation. Their eyes were full of hope. The world was fresh with the newness of young, tender plants and young, impressionable students. Then the unthinkable happened. The sun refused to shine. The world stopped. Two young men armed with assault weapons opened fire on high school peers. Most students and their teachers were looking forward to freedom from days of restraint inside. After the cold, dark days of winter, they were looking forward to the joyous spring. Sadly, though, not everyone was looking forward to happy times. As always, there were those who were leading — what they considered — hopeless lives. For them, school held no joy. They saw no possibilities, no opportunities for a better life. Like too many students, without encouraging parents, supportive friends, and teachers who believed in them, they were two teens adrift. If we have been blessed with relatively normal lives and most issues have been resolved positively for us, we have a hard time relating to what goes through a school shooter’s mind. We find ourselves asking, what can be bad enough to warrant ending someone else’s life? This is a question with no answer for most of us. We simply cannot contemplate a situation like this. What a horrific thought that any child could fall through the cracks descending to such hope-

less depths. How does one excise the demons of drug abuse, self abuse of a cutting ritual, killing, or suicide? Our finite minds argue that there cannot be anything that bad, and yet the number of at-risk kids grows. So many troubled kids have come out of good homes with good parents that we can readily become frustrated and fearful. So who’s to blame? If we model the desirable traits of respect for self and others, moral rightness, and spiritual strength we can take comfort in knowing that we have done our part. What happens, though, when mental illness is a factor in the behavior of a young person? Frustrated voices of the brokenhearted cry out for understanding and accountability. Yet, a child born with sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies may not be able to be counseled or medicated sufficiently to safeguard themselves or others. Unless we can predict dangerous behavior and do something to stop it, we will continue to face the unimaginable horrors of school shootings. We all must be vigilant if we are to protect the innocent and save troubled kids from themselves. Maybe it really does take a village to raise a child (anonymous proverb), because the at-risk always will be among us. Sherry Parkhurst, Lake Viking Editor’s note: Sherry Parkhurst taught in secondary public education 40 years before retirement. She finished her career as an English teacher at the University of Central Missouri before moving to Gallatin.

Public Notices.

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

Hardly a week passes without some small notice being printed in this newspaper. These notices, required by law, affect you and your family and friends. They show how your government is being run, how much money is being spent and where. They keep you in touch with your government through this newspaper. That’s the whole idea.

Question

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

There were plenty of Bulldog grins on the court immediately following Friday night’s varsity game, but none bigger than the Senior Night smile Patrick McNickle will remember long after his high school days are over. Sidelined for most of the season with a health issue, McNickle put the cap on a 63-55 upset victory over Stanberry by being in the right place at the right time to score his only two points on the night. McNickle snagged a full court pass from Jett Simmons and hit a bunny shot for the final GHS points on the Bulldog home and regular season schedule. The Bulldogs showed their visitors what a determined, emotionally-charged group could do against a team with a successful history and plenty of height on its side. Gallatin countered Stanberry’s height and inside game with scoring prowess from the free throw line. Desperately trying to get within striking range late after trailing, 52-41, with five minute to play, the black and gold Bulldogs had no choice but to foul Simmons who consistently handled the ball despite a constant double team. Simmons converted 13 of 15 free throws, including his last eight in the fourth quarter to help keep the visitors at bay. As a team, Gallatin approached perfection at the line with a 20of-24 showing. Stanberry looked often to 6’6” senior Brad Hailey to turn the tide but it was freshman Col-

Lady Bulldogs advance to face top-seeded Mid-Buchanan Gallatin’s girls had little trouble defeating Princeton for the second time this season, dominating the Lady Tigers, 63-34, in Monday night’s opening round of the Class 2, District 16 Tournament. With the victory, #4 Gallatin takes on #1 Mid-Buchanan Thursday at 6 p.m. in one of two girls’ semifinals. Stanberry and Plattsburg will face off in the other girls’ semifinal on Thursday, weather permitting. Only one upset materialized in Monday’s opening round. Platts( continued on Page 1 1 )

lin Sager who brought his team back to within 57-53 with a minute to play. Sager came off the bench to score eight points in the final quarter, including a pair of late three-pointers that kept Stanberry’s deficit within a couple of possessions. Simmons finished with a game-high 31 points for Gallatin but received big contributions on Senior Night from Gabe Cole and Colin Beck, both in clutch scoring and rebounding. Cole finished with 11 points and Beck added seven. The two seniors combined with Simmons for 13 of their teams’ 22 rebounds against a Stanberry back line of 6’6”, 6’6” and 6’3” that combined to pull down 38 boards. S H S g irls 62, G allatin 4 8 Gallatin’s girls more than held their own inside Thursday night but couldn’t balance the scoring line against eight Stanberry three-pointers. On the flip side, Gallatin guards could convert only 1-of-13 shots from the extended arc.

Gallatin spotted Stanberry an 8-0 lead but roared back to take a 9-8 advantage before Stanberry rattled off eight more unanswered points. Gallatin trailed, 19-9, at the end of the first quarter but a pair of Kelsey Maxwell free throws and a pair of buckets by Courtney Shubert cut the gap to 19-15 early in the second period. Gallatin stayed within two possessions of the lead until the middle of the third quarter. Stanberry led by a 42-27 margin entering the final period and used free throws to close out their hosts. Led by junior Lily Osborn, Stanberry converted 10 of 14 shots from the foul line down the stretch. Osborn finished with 26 points to lead all scorers. Shubert tossed in 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Gallatin. Maxwell scored 10 points in the low post and pulled down five boards. Cora Stout added eight points and nine rebounds before exiting the game late with a back injury.

Pattonsburg FBLA competes at District I, sends Katie Warford to state in April More than 750 students from 40 chapters in Northwest Missouri traveled to Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville on Feb. 8 to compete in the District I FBLA Contest. Katie Warford will be competing at state April 8, 9, and 10 in Springfield. Performance events were held that day and machine-graded contests had been completed at the individual schools previously. Leadership workshops and exhibits were also available for chapter members to attend. Capt. Tim Finley, a 17-year combat-decorated U.S. Air Force veteran, delivered the keynote address about courageous leadership, endurance

of character, and the value of “being comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Finley was a member of the 9-11 rescue crew and has participated in air coalitions against ISIS. Placing from Pattonsburg were: 3rd, Intro to Information Technology, Carter Crone; 6th, Health Care Administration, Katie Warford; 8th, Cyber Security, Carter Crone; 9th, Health Care Administration, Shaila Cramer; 9th, Network Communications, Sunnie Adler; 10th Word Processing, Brittani Adams. The group was accompanied to Maryville by FBLA Adviser Valerie Parman and high school principal, Tim Harding.

GHS wrestlers rank well at state ... 9th in Class 1 ﬁeld trict 3 champ Cooper Fisher sent Allen to the fifth place medal match where he was forced to retire due to a nagging knee injury. Ross Critten pinned South Harrison’s Nick Williams and captured a 3-1 win over Hancock’s Tristin Benson to make it to the semifinal round of the 113-pound class. Critten fell to eventual runner-up Lucas Laux of Fatima but defeated Mid-Buchanan’s Tim Speer, 2-1, to set up a third place match against Cole Ritter of Adrian. Ritter prevailed, 7-3, in that bout. Drayton Harris also advanced to the semifinal round of the 138-pound class, where he fell to eventual runner-up Ross Arch of Palmyra. The GHS sophomore pinned Kooper Wilson of Versailles in the consolation bracket, but came up short to Seneca’s Dalton Hembree, 2-0, in their third place match. Hembree’s only points came by way of a penalty and an escape. Rains opened the 220-pound competition by pinning Bowen Li of Lutheran St. Charles. A loss to Lone Jack’s Justin Leath by a 5-1 margin sent him to the consolation side of the bracket. Rains pinned Lawson’s Ethan Bowers, defeated Plattsburg’s Blake McClain, 4-2, and won 2-0

over Buffalo’s Colten Kennedy on Saturday morning to set up a third place rematch with Leath. Rains led, 3-2, late in the match but Leath countered with a reversal and three back points to win, 7-3. Ayden Wayne and Rian Critten each won one match, respectively, in the 120 and 126 pound divisions. Wayne ended his junior season at 31-16 while Critten closed out his high school career with a 34-14 season mark. Senior

Caleb Boyd dropped to 33-15 in his final season with a pair of state losses. Tom Crouse wrestled to a 2-2 record in the 160-pound weight class and finished one win short of the medal round. He finished his sophomore season at 34-11. Gallatin finished ninth in team standings, bettering last season’s 13th place finish.

Jr. Varsity Bulldogs wrap up winning seasons The junior varsity Lady Bulldogs won three of their final four contests to finish 9-3 in full-game competition and 4-1 in two-quarter games. The Lady Bulldogs strung together wins against Albany (16-15 two qtrs.), South Harrison (48-15 full) and King City (14-7 two qtrs.) and lost their final two-quarter game to Stan-

berry, 19-16. Caragan Baker led the team with 20 points against South Harrison. Three of the Lady Bulldog losses game to Trenton and another to the Mercer varsity squad. Gallatin’s jayvee girls placed second in the Gallatin Tournament and first in the Lathrop Tournament. The jayvee Bulldog boys fin-

ished 6-6 in full games and 2-1 in two-quarter contests. The Bulldogs lost a one-quarter contest to Albany, 11-5. A double overtime loss to South Harrison, 3735, followed with Johnny Stout and Haden Bradford leading with 14 and 9 points, respectively. Gallatin beat Stanberry’s jayvee squad, 19-18, last Thursday. Landon Corwin scored 15 points and hit the game-winning free throw with five seconds left.

burg, the #6 seed, took down #3 East Atchison, 55-48, in the late game to set up an interesting matchup between Stanberry and Plattsburg for the right to play for the championship. Stanberry’s girls dominated the Grand River Conference Western Division this season while Plattsburg, a member of the KCI Conference, put together a winning record against competition from three different classes. Mid-Buchanan, the top seed, started slowly with only one point on the scoreboard in the first two minutes, but steamrolled Maysville, 82-13 in the district’s opener. Stanberry had little trouble with Polo, beating the Lady Panthers, 61-18. Balanced scoring paved the way for a Lady Bulldog victory on Monday. Megan Cox came off the bench to score 13 points on 83% shooting from the field. Cora Stout chipped in 12 points and Hayley Michael contributed 11 points and five assists. Karley Salmon scored nine points and Kelsey Maxwell added eight for Gallatin.

Hard to beat beets

Few vegetables elicit less excitement from the average gardener than beet. Once relegated to pickling or making borscht, beet is enjoying greater respect due to its reported health benefits, said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. Beets contain plant pigments called betalains that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and general detoxification properties in humans. Beet juice is marketed today as a natural energy drink because it contains dietary nitrates. The human body converts these nitrates to nitric oxide, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels. This can boost energy and stamina. One cup of sliced, cooked beets contains only 75 calories. Beets are high in dietary fiber and are an excellent source of folate and vitamins A and K. They also contain significant amounts of manganese, copper and potassium. To promote planting of this nutritious vegetable, the National Garden Bureau has declared 2018 the Year of the Beet.

Praise songs were “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Your Love Defends Me.” Our sermon series “90 - A Journey through the Life of Christ” continued with the message, “Jesus and the Disenfranchised,” by Clay Scroggins from North Point Church in Atlanta, Ga. The message was based on John 4:3-30. Small group time followed the message.

“But God” are two of the greatest words ever written. They are found in Ephesians 2:4 and other places in the Bible. God spells out man's condition very clearly in the larger passage (Ephesians 2:110). The person who does not know God, does not have a relationship with God, is in a terrible, terrible mess. God promised death to all mankind in the Garden of Eden, if we ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; we have all eaten from it. That is the image that Paul draws from in Romans and here in Ephesians 2. The person who does not know God is not sick and in need of a physician; the person who does not know God is dead, dead in his trespasses and sins. He is under the power of and in bondage to the evil one. He cannot even call for help. Christ did not come to make us feel better or feel better about ourselves. He came to call us from the grave, to resurrect us. Praise God for Ephesians 2:4-7, “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” (NASU) Our very nature made us children of wrath, But God! We were trapped with no way out, But God! We were in rebellion against God, But God! We were indulging the desires of the flesh, But God! We were indulging the desires of the mind, But God! We were sons of disobedience, enemies of God, But God! We had willingly put ourselves under the authority of Satan, But God! We deserved the everlasting wrath of a holy God, But God! But God are among the greatest words of the Bible. God could have allowed us to go on in sin and live eternally in hell with the master we had chosen, but instead God chose to intervene in time and space and history to give us an opportunity to be reconciled with Him. God who was rich in mercy, met man who was rich only in death. As age rolls upon age upon age in eternity, God will continue to pour out the riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ. God has an everlasting purpose for the believer. God will continue to heap His grace upon believers which will serve as one more way of displaying His glory and teaching the creatures around the throne about grace. Those creatures have never experienced grace; they only know justice. In case we did not understand our condition as described in the first seven verses, Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it plain, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (NASU) None of us has been saved by any work of our own. The lost man must throw himself on the mercy and grace of the Lord, crying out to be forgiven based on nothing other than the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now is your next best opportunity. The one who calls on the name of the Lord will not be disappointed.

Missouri Tigers lose a close one, head to Kentucky by Benj am in H errold Basketball can be a game of narrow margins. Sometimes, with the game in the balance, the ball bounces your way, and sometimes it does not. Saturday was one of those “does not” days for Missouri, which lost 64-63 at LSU. Kassius Robertson stole an inbounds pass in the final seconds and got up a would-be game winning shot, but it skipped off the rim and over, preserving the win for LSU. Missouri probably had a complaint that Robertson may have been fouled, but it wasn’t called. Of course, Missouri (18-9, 8-6 in SEC through Sunday) did plenty to contribute to its own demise. The Tigers hung tough and battled, as has usually been the case this season. But the offense largely deserted them down the stretch. A Robertson layup gave Missouri a 58-56 lead with 6:11 to play, but the Tigers scored just five points in those final six minutes, including some brutal missed free throws from usually good free throw shooters. For the game, Missouri shot just 7-for-17 on free throws, a paltry 41.2%. Shooting that poorly on free throws and losing by one is pretty brutal. Missouri nearly churned out the win with some hot threepoint shooting, including Jordan Barnett’s scorching 6-for-8 from three. Jordan Geist had a great game off the bench, with 7 points and 10 rebounds. Perhaps most crucially, he played 33 minutes without a turnover. Freshman Jeremiah Tilmon had a pretty tough game, but he avoided his usual foul trouble struggles. LSU (15-11, 6-8 in SEC) made 11 of their 13 free throws and got a marvelous game from freshman guard Tremont Waters, who scored 21 points, including what proved to be the gamewinning shot. It was a day with losses by almost every team at the top of the SEC standings, so the setback didn’t hurt Missouri’s SEC positioning too much. But it was a missed opportunity. Missouri gets another great opportunity to show what it can do with Saturday’s big-time game. Missouri travels to Kentucky’s massive Rupp Arena, by far the biggest home court in the SEC, to take on the Wildcats (7:15 p.m. on ESPN). Kentucky has a lot of talent, but they’re even younger than usual. The Wildcats had lost four straight before notching a big win over Alabama on Saturday. Kentucky (18-9, 7-7 in SEC) has great depth, with eight players who average either nine points or five rebounds per game, or both. They also have length, with long arms and range that can cause problems for opposing offenses. The Tigers have a pretty good defense themselves. Even when the team’s offense has bad stretches, the tight defense can keep them in the game until shots start falling again. Winning on the road is tough, and “Big Blue Nation should be frenzied for a primetime ESPN game their team needs. But Missouri is a competitive bunch with some good players. Should be a good one Saturday night.

Polar Bear Palooza Students in Mrs. Croy’ s third grade class at Searcy E lementary in Gallatin are shown reading the polar bear feature in the Gallatin North Missourian. K ali, a Polar Bear’ s Tale, is presented in eight chapters in the newspaper through the Newspaper in E ducation proj ect of Missouri Press Association. “ They really do look forward to it each week,” Mrs. Croy said. The students have been keeping track of the polar bear facts each week. They have also used their chromebooks to do additional research about polar bears and other polar animals. Also shown are some pictures of polar bears made by the students.

CHAPTER SEVEN OF EIGHT

KALI:

A Polar Bear’s Tale

AUTHOR: CAROLYN MUELLER | ILLUSTRATOR: JEREMY PATTON & JAYNE BALLEW

Chapter Seven: The cubs circled around, sniffing the air and then running off into their own corners. But Luna was brave. She circled around Kali and then pounced on the little bear. Kali fell flat on his back, but he knew that Luna was only playing. Soon the baby bears were tumbling all around their room, happy to have a polar bear playmate to wrestle with. After that, Kali and Luna became the best of friends. The two played hard each and every day. For enrichment, Caitlyn put an empty turtle sandbox in their room. Every evening, when the keepers were headed home, Kali and Luna could be found curled up together in their sandbox, exhausted from playing, nose to nose, belly to belly, dreaming sweet polar bear dreams together. Soon the cubs outgrew their original enclosure and were moved to a larger yard. This yard had a pool in it, where the cubs could splash and play. Caitlyn was always surprised by the cubs’ energy. Even when there was a -30-degree wind chill outside, the first thing Kali did each morning was sprint to the pool and jump right in. Caitlyn would call to him to come and get his breakfast, and in his brief run from the pool to his bedroom, his fur would freeze, covered in balls of ice. Kali didn’t seem to mind, though. He was a true Alaskan polar bear, never bothered by the cold. All too soon, though, Kali was no longer a “little” bear. When he arrived at the Buffalo Zoo, he was only 65 pounds. Two years later, he weighed in at 850 pounds! The shy baby flown in from Alaska had gained almost 800 pounds in two years! If Kali were still living with his mother in Alaska, he would be preparing to leave her at the age of two, to begin his life as a solitary, male bear. Kali needed to leave Luna and head out on his own. He was quickly on his way to becoming a full-grown bear, and the Buffalo Zoo did not have enough room to keep both him and Luna as they grew into adulthood. It was time for Kali to move to a new home.

How big are polar bears?

Male polar bears can measure up to 10 feet when standing on their hind legs. Female polar bears usually only weigh about half as much as males.

Fun Fact:

Scientists believe that the polar bear evolved from a common brown bear ancestor about 200,000 years ago.

ing,” Kathy says. If a person has any special health challenges going on that may be a reason for concern, Kathy will require a written authorization from the client’s healthcare provider before proceeding with reflexology. Kathy says, “I know what it’s like to struggle really hard. Because of my own personal experiences, I have an added insight and understanding of other people’s struggles. “I can unequivocally tell people that there is hope; even though it may be hard to believe. If you’re willing to try; if you’re willing to make the necessary changes in your life so that you can become as healthy as you can be, I’m here to help you. “I’m still on my path back to health, but I want to share some things that I’ve learned that may help you on your own journey back to health. We are all a work in progress. I’m here to tell you that things really can get better.”

Jamesport limits age of factory-built homes The Jamesport City Council accepted an amendment to an ordinance on factory built homes that would limit their age to 10 years. The amendment agreed upon at the Feb. 13 meeting reads: No person with the city of Jamesport shall place any factory built home with a date of manufacture prior to 10 years before the date of placement in the city.

Saying no to your little princess isn’t easy.

Reflexology (continued from page 1) introduced her to reflexology. “And that’s when everything shifted,” she says. “I got better over time. Now I get to help other people who are struggling. It’s a wonderful gift, another chance that I’ve been given. A year ago, I could not have imagined what great blessings were coming just around the corner.” A typical reflexology session with Kathy will last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or one hour – per her client’s wishes – and includes visiting with the client about concerns and goals. The client, with socks and shoes removed, will be seated in a reclining chair and positioned comfortably. There is quiet relaxing music playing in the background. With the client’s legs elevated, Kathy sits at their feet and will gently apply lotion, usually with added essential oils to address health concerns, and will work each area of the feet. The client is encouraged to communicate any areas of discomfort. Some clients like to talk about concerns; some prefer to quietly rest. Most clients leave a session feeling very relaxed. “Most anyone, regardless of age or health status, can benefit from reflexology. In conjunction with optimal nutrition and other health promoting strategies, even in conjunction with regular medical care, reflexology can really enhance our overall wellbe-
