Farmer fatally hurt in tractor accident A Daviess County man was fatally injured in a farming accident that happened at about 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 26. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Victor Morgan, 64, McFall, was loading a hay bale on private property located off Hwy 69, one mile north of Pattonsburg. Excessive weight on the front of the McCormick 560 tractor caused it to tip and roll down an embankment. The tractor came to rest on Mr. Morgan who was pronounced at the scene at 11:15 a.m. by Daviess County Coroner David McWilliams. The accident was investigated by Tpr. A.D. Martin, assisted by Sgt. P.M. Kimball, Cpl. B.R. Hilliard, Trp. D.M. Wilburn, Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, Pattonsburg Fire Department, and NTA Ambulance.

School lockdown at Jameson; juvenile taken into custody North Daviess R-3 School in Jameson was placed on lockdown Monday morning, Feb. 26. According to the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, a juvenile has been taken into custody for questioning. Around 8 a.m. the school was notified by law enforcement officials of the possibility of an outside threat. The school immediately followed district procedure and began lockdown protocol. Those procedures were followed until law enforcement notified the district that the threat no longer existed later in the morning. Multiple law enforcement officers were called to the North Daviess school. There were no reports of any incidents at the school, and no details have been released about the nature of the threat. An investigation is continuing by the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office. “We want to be sure that our parents and community know that the safety and security of students is our number one objective,” according to a release by R-3 Superintendent Daniel Street and High School Principal Kelly Hightree.

Shooting range relocates into south Daviess County by Dave Langvardt

Boot Hill Shooting Ground has relocated into southern Daviess County at 33482 230th (take FF a half mile east from Highway 13). Boot Hill is a shotgun specific shooting range that offers sporting clays and 5-stand. It is operated by Randy Pickering of Hamilton. Sporting clays is a sport that has shooters travel a course with 10-15 stations where they will stop and try to shoot a variety of clay targets thrown from electric traps. This is a self-serve operation; shooters “pull” their own targets by use of remote controls at each station. The course is usually 100 targets, but a 50-target version is also available. Boot Hill operated in Hamilton for many years until they determined they needed a bigger site, so they closed in 2017 and relocated to the new location. Boot Hill offers open shooting on Saturdays and Sundays. They also have a scheduled tournament every month starting in March through September. This year Boot Hill will open on March 10-11 with a tournament. (continued on page 12)

Over 100 take Polar Plunge, raise $31,600 by Troy Lesan

“Turn Your Inner Zeus Loose” was the official motto for this year’s 11th Annual Lake Viking Polar Plunge held on Feb. 24 which raised $31,600. It would seem that the plungers took those words to heart for the event. Prior to the event, St. Joseph Special Olympics Co-Coordinator Melody Prawitz was optimistic with 112 plungers preregistered. When registration actually opened, a mob of eager plungers stepped forward, in

colorful costumes. Every year the plunge is a little different. The unique and exciting thing about this year’s event was student participation – groups from high schools at Chillicothe, Lathrop, Polo, and Trenton. There was even a sizeable group representing Lathrop Middle School that was responsible for good fundraising numbers. Once again, some of the old standbys were there – Jim Rash of Galt (always the top indi-

vidual fundraiser) along with his son, Pierce, and the group from Chillicothe Corrections Center. These have gone into the cold water all 11 years of Lake Viking’s annual event. Both the number of participants and amount raised make this event one of the most successful Lake Viking plunges. Judy Rash, who puts in long days and a monstrous amount of volunteer hours as the event volunteer coordinator, was pleased (continued on page 3)

Some parts optional? by F rei da M ari e C ru m p

Dr. Graham: ‘Just as I am...’ I apologize to the great State of North Carolina for saying this, but I recall only two people when thinking about that special Southern drawl from the Tarheel State: Coach Roy (“dad gum”) Williams and, far more significantly, Billy Graham. Dr. Graham, 99, died last Wednesday, Feb. 21, in Montreat, NC. Much about his life is widely known. He was regularly listed by the Gallup organization as one of the “Ten Most Admired Men in the World,” making an unparalleled 57th appearance (and 51st consecutive appearance) in 2013. He was also featured on the covers of Time, Newsweek, Life, U.S. News and World Report, Parade and numerous other magazines and has been the subject of many newspaper and magazine feature articles and books. Billy Graham preached throughout the United States and in Europe in the post-war era, emerging as a rising young evangelist. The Los Angeles Crusade in 1949 launched Graham into international prominence. Scheduled for three weeks, the meetings were extended to more

dubbed the “top evangelistic salesman of his message in our era” for reasons even the faithless recognized. Amid the chaos throughout America in 1967, his 10-day “Heart of America Crusade” at KC’s old Municipal Stadium attracted 364,000 people — with 53,000 going forward to accept Jesus Christ in one night. Sta-

dium groundskeeper George Toma once quipped how a Billy Graham crusade could do more damage to grass than a rodeo. Dr. Graham, contrary to the opinion of President Lyndon Johnson at the time, said the country’s morality was in decline. He visited Harry Truman, both while Truman worked at the White House and in Truman’s retirement at Independence. He

On Thursday Dr. Billy Graham’s last syndicated newspaper column was published -- right beside the daily horoscope and TV schedule (given much more space). He approved his final question-answer column shortly before his death.

Q: How would you like to be remembered? A: “I hope I will be remembered as someone who was faithful

-- to God, to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the calling God gave me as an evangelist, and as a husband, father and friend. “I take comfort in Christ’s promise of forgiveness, and in God’s ability to take even our most imperfect efforts and use them for His glory. “By the time you read this, I will be in heaven, and as I write this I’m looking forward with great anticipation to the day when I will be in God’s presence forever. “I’m convinced that heaven is far more glorious than anything we can possibly imagine, and I look forward not only to its wonder and peace, but also to the joy of being reunited with those who have gone there before me, especially my dear wife, Ruth. The Bible says, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face” (1 Corinthians 13:12).” than eight weeks, with overflow crowds filling a tent erected downtown each night. Many of his subsequent early crusades were similarly extended, including one in London that lasted 12 weeks, and a New York City crusade in Madison Square Garden in 1957, which ran nightly for 16 weeks. Billy Graham came to Kansas City several times. He conducted three crusades here among the countless worship services he organized worldwide. He was

repeated visits to KC, speaking to ministers at conventions. In 1981 while here for one such occasion, he visited people at Truman Medical Center who were wounded in the Hyatt Regency skywalk collapse. Throughout his career and ministry, Graham preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to more people in live audiences than anyone else in history — nearly 215 million — through various meetings, including Mission World and Global Mission. Hun-

dreds of millions more have been reached through television, video, film and webcasts. His last visit to Kansas City was a 2004 crusade held in Arrowhead Stadium. He was 85 years old, recuperating from two falls and dealing with Parkinson’s disease. But he still had a way of motivating people to seek Jesus. Unfortunately in today’s context, the prominence of Billy Graham seems by comparison in decline. For instance, his weekly newspaper column, “My Answer,” was relegated to the comic strip pages in the Kansas City Star. I recall a letter to the editor where a reader lauded that editorial decision en route to railing against Christianity. Billy Graham just happened to be the messenger, as scripture explains. Apparently, too many of us aren’t listening to messengers of the gospel. There is so much more noise competing for our attention. Immediately under the KC Star front page article announcing the death of “America’s pastor” was a large photo of student protesters at a rally against gun violence on the steps of the old Florida Capital in Tallahassee, one week after the deadly shooting at the high school in Parkland, FL. The next day’s edition included an advertising insert from a popular sports equipment chain touting hot deals for Glock handguns, including one with “NEW! Robin’s Egg Blue frame and titanium slide” (I guess for women). Then I read elsewhere in that same edition about the idea of equipping school teachers with guns. Odd, isn’t it ...how our President says 20% of public school teachers should pack guns during a time when we don’t trust teachers to appropriately discipline students by corporal punishment. We won’t give teachers a paddle … but we give them a gun? The next day’s front page news reported on the grand jury indictment against Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens. This followed allegations that Greitens threatened a woman with blackmail to cover up a 2015 extra-marital affair, leading up to a felony charge of invasion of privacy. And so on. And on. And on. Reprinting Billy Graham’s columns to help us focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ should re(continued on page 3)

Greetings from the Poosey. I couldn’t keep my mouth shut any longer. Hilda Burke had been a thorn in my spiritual side and pain in my mental tush ever since she joined our Sunday School class 10 years ago, and it seems like there’s nothing on which that lady and I can agree. She’s the type who picks out the scriptures that fit her personal political beliefs and sort of pretends as if the rest of the Bible was just a bit of fluff to be ignored. Hilda uses her King James Version as a sort of swatting stick, batting down any beliefs that didn’t jive with hers. So, last Sunday I came loaded for bear. Just as she lit into a tirade about Americans being God’s only chosen people I stopped her. I asked her to explain a passage from Leviticus: “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as you native-born.” Hilda peered at my over the top of her Wal-Mart reading glasses, gave a small sniff and said, “Freida, when God said those things to Moses he was only talking about naturalized citizens and preferably those who could speak English and add something to our country. I said, “Add something? Like what?” She rattled off a short list including laundry washing, yard mowing, hedge trimming, and acting as a short order cook in Mexican restaurants. I’ve got to hand it to Hilda’s Bible. It’s certainly a flexible rascal. I’d been outflanked by the laws God gave to Moses so I quickly grabbed St. Matthew and made a sneak attack from the New Testament. “Okay Hilda, how about when Christ said, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine you did for me?’” Hilda once again gave me her peering-downthe-condemning-nose look and said, “God love you, Freida, but. . . “ (Whenever Hilda starts a sentence with “God love you,” you know you’re about to get clobbered with her holy stick.) “Freida, when Christ said ‘brothers’ he was obviously talking about our relatives. The Bible is simply telling us to take care of our own. Anybody can see that.” I couldn’t. I’d always assumed that “our brothers and sisters” referred to all of mankind. “Uh... what about the other colors and nationalities, Hilda?” She closed her left eye as if to divert all her dooming power to her right one and said, “God speaks to us each in different ways, Freida.” I was puzzled. “You mean God has different rules for the residents of Paducah, KY, than he does for the folks in Damascus, Syria?” This is when Hilda pulled out her big Bible banger: “All I know is what God has told me.” Okay, now how do you argue with that without accusing the speaker of lying or acknowledging their sainthood? I was getting hot by this time and figured that it was time to lay it on the line then politely leave and try to find a neighboring Sunday School class that would admit scripturally naïve people like me. “Hilda,” I said, “Let’s just get down to basics. What about ‘Love you neighbor as you love yourself?’” Hilda smiled, “Why that’s easy, Freida. I’m surprised at you asking such a simple question. ‘Your neighbor’ means your neighbor.” I was scrumpled on this one. “You mean you only have to love the people in your neighborhood?” Hilda has spent her life developing a condescending look with eyebrows raised and just the hint of a sarcastic smile. “Freida, God has given us each places to live and it’s best that we stay where he put us.” This time I raised my own eyebrows. “So Hilda, when somebody different moves into our neighborhood they aren’t really our neighbor and we don’t have to love them?” And here it came again, like a reproachful bolt of holy-fied lightning, “Freida, I only know what God has told me.” I didn’t go so far as to inquire why God would spend so much time talking to a person who’d lost the ability to listen and whose mind had already been made up before she went hunting for scriptural evidence of her prejudices. The hour was almost up so I sent a final shot over the bow of her arrogant ship. I simply read from Matthew again, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in.” I looked at her. “”What do you suppose God is saying to you on that one, Hilda?” She took off her glasses as if to end the matter with a final pronouncement. “You know dear,” she said. “There are parts of the scriptures that are simply optional.” I guess so. I just muttered, “For dust you are and to dust you will return,” and went to the kitchen for coffee. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Legislative help from cats more important than you think In a recent debate, Missouri’s Senate degenerated to a level of majority-party discord I have not heard in decades. But tales about cats during the filibuster reminded me how the Senate of old managed anger. This year’s discord involved a filibuster over the electric utility industry’s efforts to change how their rates are set. Supporters argue more money is needed to modernize the electrical delivery system. Opponents, argue there’s no guarantee the rate increases would be used for infrastructure rather than for stockholder profits. The issue split the Republican Senate. A majority along with their leadership supported the bill. But the filibuster to stop a vote was led by a Republican faction that has been at odds with the leadership for some time. Opponents dropped their filibuster when threatened that a “previous question” motion would be passed to force an immediate vote on a bill even more friendly to utilities. That was historic. While PQ motions have been common when the minority party filibusters, not so when majorityparty members filibuster. Threatened with a PQ motion, utility-bill opponents

sat down and allowed a preliminary vote. But a few days later, bill opponents announced they discovered that supporters actually did not have the 18 votes needed to stop their filibuster. If true, that would be an historic breach of honesty among colleagues on something as serious as shutting off debate. “We as a people of Missouri are dependent upon us to do legislation based upon truth and honor,” said the leading opponent, Sen. Rob b Phill Schaaf, R-St. Joseph. He rooks essentially charged his colleagues with deceit. That’s unusually harsh language for the Senate. But it got worse. One of the bill’s supporters responded with a vicious attack against Schaaf for subjecting members to being “preached to about lying.” The rhetoric was so heated I wondered whether in the remaining few months of this session the Senate could recover from the anger and bitterness I heard. But a digression during the filibuster reminded me how humor once had been used to reduce anger in the Senate. It

Billy Graham (continued f r om turn to front page prominence in our society, don’t you think? Dr. Graham offered advice and shared opinions. He was a personal confidante to business leaders and presidents, and participated in many Presidential inaugurations. He worked to consistently keep the focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oh, Billy Graham knew personal frailties like every man. His public persona had blemishes, too. Many say Dr. Graham changed too slowly and was too timid on civil rights for African Americans during the 1960s. He was also criticized for being too loyal to Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal in the 1970s. But I read where he continues to set an example even as he’s put to rest. Contrary to an entire industry that seems to promote materialism when it comes to burying the dead, Billy Graham made arrangements to rest in a plywood coffin made by prison inmates. This is no empty gesture, just more evidence of his personal faith in God. He chose to be buried next

came when Sen. Doug Libla began talking about an abandoned cat he brought home which he could never tame: “He was a garage cat. He wasn’t an inside house cat; he was too tough for that.” Libla talked about how the cat would bite at their legs when they brought groceries into the house. “He didn’t care about anything but food.” So after a few years, Libla moved him to the barn of their nearby farm. But his cat wandered off. “You would think that alley cat would probably have forgave me or something ...he would have a good life over there because we’re on the Current River,” Libla said in a rural twang that I’ve found make rural senators such entertaining story tellers. Schaaf talked about his own experiences with cats. “Pepper doesn’t like me too much... that might have something to do with me grabbing her and taking her to the vet one time,” he told the Senate describing putting her into a carrier for the vet trip. “You’ve got to wear leather gloves up to

to his wife Ruth, who died in 2007. Graham is survived by his five children: Gigi, Anne, Ruth, Franklin and Ned, 19 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. In contrast to many other prominent evangelists, Billy Graham’s organization has no taint of financial scandal during many decades of service. He kept the message focused on Jesus, about repenting from sin to receive salvation. He did not waiver from this, the Great Commission. I never personally met Billy Graham. But I know him as head of the organization that once delivered a movie entitled “The Cross and the Switchblade” to a little movie theater in Sedalia, MO, numbering me among the millions of souls his witness reached. I can hear his Southern twang, a familiar voice clearly delivering the gospel of Jesus Christ through a black-and-white TV set night after night in our old farmhouse home. Perhaps like you, I feel like I knew him well.

your shoulders to put them into the carrier,” Schaaf joked. He also talked about the time he got bitten during a live TV interview session while holding a cat as part of an animal shelter effort for the program. These kind of stories are more important to the legislative process than you might realize. In the Senate of old, filibusters often were diverted into near comedy routines for no other purpose than to calm tempers. With stage-craft skills developed from years of chamber experience no longer possible with term limits, some of these routines were hilarious. At the end of this year’s angry filibuster, a clearly distraught Sen. Bob Dixon (R-Springfield) admonished his colleagues: “If we can’t have respect for one another ...at the very least let’s respect one another’s constituents.” Or, maybe, they should spend more time talking about cats.

Statewide tornado drill helps Missourians prepare for deadly severe weather

Birth

Avery Faye Eskridge Tiara and John Eskridge of Bethany proudly announce the birth of a daughter, Avery Faye Eskridge, at 9:29 a.m. on Feb. 22 at Cameron Regional Medical Center. Avery weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and was 20 inches long. She has one sister, Brooklyn Wynne. Maternal grandparents are Tammy Priest and Robert Anders of Bethany. Maternal great-grandmother is Ruth Priest of Bethany. Paternal grandparents are Jessie Hogan and Robert Hogan, Fifty Six, Ark. Paternal great-grandparents are Jean Eskridge of Bethany and Linda and Dale Hogan of Gallatin.

Missouri’s annual Statewide Tornado Drill will be held on Tuesday, March 6, at 10 a.m. (Some Missouri communities may choose to conduct the drill on a different day due to conflicting events like local elections.) “This is the time for people to review/update/create their own home emergency plans and kits,” said David Roll, Daviess County Emergency Management Director. “Be sure to have enough food, water (three gallons per person per day), medications, first aid kit, flashlights, etc. Don’t forget about weather radios. Also make sure you have an updated emergency contacts list that you share with trusted family or friends.” At 10 a.m. on March 6, outdoor warning sirens and weather alert radios across the state will sound, signaling the beginning of the statewide tornado drill and indicating that Missourians should practice taking shelter. “Remember that storm sirens are designed to be heard by people outdoors – not indoors,” said Director Roll.

If a tornado shelter is not available, the safest shelter location is a windowless basement or an interior room in the lowest level of a building. Put as many walls between you and the tornado. Other safe locations for businesses and schools include interior stairways and tornado safe rooms. If severe weather is in the forecast for March 6, the tornado drill will be moved to Thursday, March 8, at 10 a.m. The National Weather Service provides safety tips and educational information about tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, flash flooding, lightning and the importance of NOAA weather radios on its severe weather awareness week page at http://www. weather.gov/lsx/severeweek. Each day during the week focuses on a different safety message: Monday, March 5, Preparedness Day; Tuesday, March 6, Tornado Safety Day; Wednesday, March 7, Flash Flood Safety Day; Thursday, March 8, Severe Thunderstorm Day; and Friday, March 9, Communication/NOAA

Fifth annual S.A.L.E. in St. Joe

Weather Radio Day. According to the National Weather Service, Missouri experienced 83 tornadoes, with one death and 32 injuries in 2017. Travis Koenig of Perryville was killed on Feb. 28, 2017, when a tornado carried his pickup truck off Interstate 55 in Perry County. “With spring storms, there is also the chance of flash floods, keep that in mind,” said Director Roll. ”Don’t drown, turn around.” Except for 2015, when Missouri experienced 27 flooding deaths, 2017’s total of nine flooding fatalities was the highest total since 2008, when nine people also perished in flooding. Missourians need to understand that here and across the nation, more than half the people killed by flooding were in vehicles that drove into floodwater. More information can be found on Missouri’s stormaware. mo.gov website, which includes detailed videos about how to take shelter from tornadoes. Remember: Tornado ‘watch’ means watch the sky. A tornado may form during a thunderstorm. Tornado ‘warning’ means seek shelter immediately. The safest shelter location is an interior room without windows on the lowest floor. Do not seek shelter in a caf-

University of Missouri Extension will be holding our fifth annual S.A.L.E. Conference in St. Joseph, on Saturday, March 10. S.A.L.E. stands for Small Acreage & Land Entrepreneurs. The meeting will be held on the campus of Missouri West- Tim Baker ern State University, and starts at 8:30 with registration. The conference is geared toward landowners who are looking for ways to generate income from their land. We try to find topics of interest for both plant and animal-based enterprises. This year, presentations will include topics such as permaculture, beekeeping, growing blackberries & raspberries, timber sales, financial resources for small farms, growing mushrooms, pollinators, pruning fruit trees, invasive weeds, native plants, livestock, and many more. The cost for the conference, which includes lunch, will be $40 per person if received by Friday, March 2. After March 2, or at the door, the cost will be $60. Youth (18 and under) pay only $25 if preregistered by March 2, or $30 at the door.

eteria, gymnasium or other large open room because the roof might collapse. Immediately leave a mobile home to seek shelter in a nearby building. Overpasses are not safe. Their under-the-girder-type construction can cause a dangerous wind tunnel effect. If you are driving, stop and take shelter in a nearby building. If you are driving in a rural area, drive away from the tornado to the closest building. If you cannot get away, seek shelter in a roadside ditch. Protect yourself from flying debris by covering your head with your arms, a coat or a blanket. Be prepared to move quickly in case the ditch fills with water. Never drive into standing water. It can take less than six inches of fast moving water to make a slow moving car float. Once floating, a vehicle can overturn and sink. “The weather in Missouri has a tendency to be unpredictable,” said Director Roll. “Tornadoes are not just isolated to spring time, look at southeast Missouri this past week.” The southeast town of Malden was impacted by this past weekend’s tornado. Dozens of homes were damaged by the storm and four people were injured.

The income and expense report was approved. The utilities clerk distributed a new list of delinquent customers, including nine due for shutoff. Melvin McFee reported everything was working properly as far as sewer maintenance, and there are no new problems. Ordinance Enforcement Officer Quentin Hunt informed the board of many ordinance violations he noticed throughout the village. The clerk is to send out violation letters to residents in order to get the matters resolved. Mr. Hunt also informed the board of vandalism to park bathrooms and offered ideas to keep people out during winter months. The board decided to speak more about the issue during the next meeting. Chairman Arvella Eaton informed the board that a resident approached her wanting to discontinue trash service due to their lack of use. After board discussion and review of current ordinances, the board had to obey village ordinance’s which requires all residents to pay for trash service. The next board meeting is scheduled for March 5 at 7 p.m. The above is taken from the unapproved minutes of the Feb. 13 meeting of the Winston Village Board of Trustees. Trustees present were Arvella Eaton, Brenda Goll, and Nichole Gregornik. Others present were Amber White, Melvin McFee and Quentin Hunt.

Semis and other vehicles pile up on I-35, just one injury reported by patrol Northbound I-35 in Daviess County was shut down for about four hours Feb. 22 due to a crash involving multiple tractor-trailers and other vehicles. Six tractor-trailers were involved in the crash, which happened approximately eight miles north of Cameron.

At about 7:20 a.m. on Feb. 22, a 2014 Volvo tractor trailer being driven by Daymel Hernandez Perez, 23, Miami, Fla., was driving northbound and slid on the ice covered roadway. The tractor unit jack-knifed and came to rest on its wheels off the east side of the roadway.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Troopers shut down the northbound lanes of I-35 at mile marker 63 around 8:45 a.m. The lanes reopened around 12:24 p.m. Mr. Perez was transported by Daviess County Ambulance to Cameron Regional Hospital with minor injuries.

The tractor trailer had moderate damage. The accident was investigated by Tpr. A.D. Martin, assisted by Sgt. M.W. Wilhoit, Sgt. J.P. angle, Sgt. A.A. Henry, and Cpl. P.M. Kimbal.

Pattonsburg hires water superintendent, MFA gets lease of old water plant Adam Albert was appointed as water superintendent for the City of Pattonsburg with a salary of $50,000. He will be allowed to take the truck home, but only use it for city business. At a monthly inspection with Mr. Albert, the board noted improvements, such as maintenance and cleaning. MFA was presented with a lease agreement for the light plant building in the Old Town. MFA wants to store chemicals in the rented building. The lease was provided by the city’s attorney. The lease payment will be $12 per year, with the initial term of five years. This agreement will automatically renew for up to three additional periods of five years, or for 20 years total. Employee interviews were set for Feb. 21. Ads were placed in the newspaper for part time office help and a general laborer.

Water Superintendent Albert presented to the council a quote from Layne Christensen Company to do predictive well maintenance on all three wells to keep tabs on the performance of the pumping assemblies and the condition of the wells. The board accepted the quote in the amount of $5,160. Mr. Albert asked the council’s permission to purchase some insulators for the meter pits at $25 (each comes in a sleeve of 15) and 8 Bac-T sample stations at $3,123. The board approved the purchases. Lucille Lusk with Small Town Cooperation Board presented four bills, which the board approved. Lucille Lusk with Municipal Assistance Company asked the council for a trip fee of $30 for the ordinance patrols. After discussion the board agreed to pay the fee.

Keith Morrissey, arguably the best athlete to ever grace the halls of GHS, scored 1,630 points from his sophomore through senior seasons. I can find no record of Keith suiting up for varsity as a freshman … with good reason. That year’s team was powered by Howard Weldon, Dennis Morrissey, Richard Reynolds, Phil Gooding, Rick McCloud, Joe Bird and David McWilliams. More on Keith. Can you imag-

His 686 points during his senior year are a GHS single season record. Morrissey and Kenny Youtsey formed a dynamic post duo in 1972-73, combining for 1,268 points, nearly equaling the 1,313 points posted by this year’s entire GHS boys’ team.

Tigers savor the long ball in win over Redbirds Worth County’s Tigers ousted Winston from Class 1 state action Tuesday night in convincing fashion, 57-39, to set up a threepeat rematch with #1 ranked and unbeaten North Andrew in Friday night’s quarterfinal round at St. Joseph Civic Arena. The Tigers came into the game, also at the Civic, with a definite height advantage but it was outside shooting that stung the Redbirds at the most inopportune times. Worth County led the entire game, jumping out to a 14-2 lead off the opening tip. Jacob Lewis produced Winston’s lone bucket in the first four minutes off a steal and layup but nailed backto-back three-pointers to begin a series of comeback moves that never quite reached parity. A baseline drive by Lewis produced the first quarter’s final

points when he drew defenders and dumped the ball off to teammate Logan Caldwell, who laid the ball in ahead of the buzzer. That cut Worth County’s lead to 17-12. The Redbirds were able to recover in the half court game during a slowed down second quarter. Lewis passed ahead to Marshall Ferrell for a layup that cut the gap to 17-15. Jakub Hisel hit one of two free throws to make it a one point game, but the Tigers came roaring back with a 3-ball by Cade Allee that carried his team to a 22-16 advantage at the midway break. The Tigers continued to pour it on from the three-point arc, building a 10-point lead in the third before the Redbirds mounted a rally, capped by Hisel’s only field goal of the night, a three-pointer from the outside.

However, the Tigers continued to hold the hot hand as Caleb Parman busted a trey and Allee added a bucket from near the top of the circle. Winston had one opportunity to grab its first lead midway through the third but could not convert on a very important possession. The Tigers outscored the Redbirds, 21-9, in the fourth quarter to ice the victory. Lewis finished with 21 points to lead all scorers. Uthe and Caldwell chipped in six points each for the Redbirds. Hisel finished with four points and Farrell tacked on two points. Allee paced Worth County with 18 points and combined with Parman for eight of their team’s nine three-pointers. Parman finished with 16 points and Kinsella tacked on 14 for the winners. Worth County has faced North Andrew twice during the regular season, losing by eight and 23 points. North Andrew is looking to return to Columbia and the Final Four after finishing third there last season W inston 6 0 , S outhw est 3 6 Few boys’ teams in Northwest Missouri have been more dedicated to winning at the district level than Winston over the course of the last five seasons. The Redbirds waltzed through District 13 last week, beating teams by an average of 30 points per game. Winston nailed down the district title with a 60-36 victory over #2 seed Southwest on Friday. The Redbirds have played for five straight Class 1 district titles, winning three times to advance to the sectional round. Winston recently wrapped up a fifth straight HDC Conference title to go along with five consecutive HDC Tournament crowns. Uthe and Lewis combined for 51 points and six treys in the district game victory over Southwest. Uthe hit four 3-balls and finished with 26 points. Lewis added a pair of treys and 25 points.

Tigers’ surge ousts Bulldogs Plattsburg’s Tigers flipped a switch in the second half of Wednesday night’s District 16 contest and proved to be too quick and too athletic for the Gallatin Bulldogs. The Tigers hit seven threepointers in the first half but took advantage of fast breaks and second-chance opportunities in the second half to put away the Bulldogs, 80-56, and advance to the semifinals against Stanberry. Plattsburg took care of the ball with only six turnovers over the course of 42 minutes, while Gallatin committed six giveaways during a critical five minute stretch of the third quarter.

Mid-Buchanan pressure halts Gallatin girls short of D16 final

Get a clue! FBLA investigates with Gallatin 6th graders Gallatin FBLA members, Alli Baker, Annie Nelson, and Johnna Tadlock of the American Enterprise Team, recently met with the Gallatin Middle School sixth grade class on careers. The FBLA CLUE Team, with the support and assistance of sixth grade teacher Mrs. Bond and Middle School Principal Mrs. Otto, led a sixth grade homeroom group in an investigation. The investigation for CLUE stood for: C – Career Information and Education, L- Long Term Goals and Values, U – Utilize Interests and Abilities, and E – Entering the Job Market. The FBLA American Enterprise Project is used to promote some facet of the American Enterprise system within the school and/or community. The American Enterprise Team, CLUE, sought information and education to promote the steps needed to secure a career. The first step is getting in-

formed and educated. The team thought that knowing how to choose a career that met one’s goals and needs would lead individuals to success. Who better to start with, but those students getting ready to select classes for possible further education into a career — sixth graders? Basic skills of knowing how to access these choices and take it to another level to enter the job market were all developed and covered in interactive learning activities. Through pretesting activities with the sixth graders, FBLA members constructed activities for the students to investigate their likes, interests, goals, values, and needs. The students also completed career assessments and investigated job pathways through activities with hats donated by the local Gallatin MFA. Sixth graders were encouraged to put on their thinking caps and discover interests, hobbies, and

skills they possessed. The final steps of CLUE were to administer a post test on the definitions that were related to jobs and careers and fill out a real job application. Fifteen students completed the successful steps to get a CLUE! Students were excited to have new career ideas in mind from the variety of activities. The American Enterprise Team, led by Gallatin FBLA Adviser Barbara Holcomb, will compete at the State Leadership Conference this April in Springfield.

It became clear very early in Friday’s Class 1, District 16 girls’ semifinal that if the Gallatin Lady Bulldogs could handle the ball against Mid-Buchanan’s pressure defense, they had a chance to move into Saturday’s finals. But ball handling problems plagued the Lady Bulldogs from the opening tipoff and proved to be the deciding factor in a 61-40 loss. The Lady Bulldogs turned the ball over three times in their first five possessions but at the end of the first quarter were just down by one possession, 19-16. Even with six more turnovers in the second quarter, Gallatin trailed by only five, 27-22, at the half time break. The Lady Dragons began to pull away early in the second half with a 9-0 run off the third quarter start. Gallatin suffered a

two-minute scoring drought, finally relieved at the 3:48 mark by a Kelsey Maxwell bunny shot under the rim. The Lady Bulldogs managed only one free throw to go with a Karley Salmon threepointer in the quarter’s final three minutes. Consistent fourth quarter scoring failed to materialize for Gallatin. The Lady Bulldogs hit only two of 13 shots in the fourth quarter and were dependent on three Cora Stout free throws and a last second shot by Aubrey Feiden to boost their final total. All eight varsity Lady Bulldog seniors were in and out during the final minute of play. Those seniors, Stout, Feiden, Megan Cox, Hayley Michael, Courtney Shubert, Janee Filbeck, Maelea Coulson and Briar Roll, averaged nearly 18 wins over the ( continued on Page 1 5 )

Assemb ly of G od Clyde Lint led the adult class in a discussion of “The Family of God.” The lesson referred to Jesus saying those who follow him belong to his family, and the family of God is those who do the will of his father. The church service began with Mona Roberts blessing us with a special number. This week’s missionary offering was received as we sang “Marching On.” Then Ina McFee shared a good report on the recent giving. Tim Johnson shared the current prayer requests and encouraged all to agree in prayer. There was a praise report from a recent cancer survivor. Several people went forward for special prayer. The time of worship was led by Zoe Smith, which included an encouraging word from Pastor Smith, and the singing of “Oh, I Want to See Him.” It was announced that Evangelist Jerry McCartney will be ministering at 10:45 a.m. on March 18.

Pastor Smith’s message was from Psalm 103. The central thought was “Forget not all God’s benefits. Remember that he heals, forgives and satisfies.” Altamont U nited Methodist Adult study for Sunday school on Feb. 18 was on Dorcas, a disciple of Jesus. Serving widows was an important part of Dorcas’s ministry; she was a faithful servant returned through the prayers of Peter, Acts 9:39-43. UMW held their February meeting on Valentine’s Day. Ash Wednesday was also observed. Ashes in the form of a cross were put on our foreheads as a reflection to remember Christ’s journey to the cross. Seven ‘thinking of you’ cards were sent to loved ones. Roll call was a Bible verse with love words. Pastor Marilyn had lovely refreshments from a pretty decorated red and white table. Prayers of healing and strength are for Paula Burcham of Franklin, Ind. and for Cidnee Toney with a leg

Thank You! I would like to thank my family, church family, game night friends, former co-workers, HBA mission trip crew, and old friends and new friends for the surprise 80th birthday celebration. Thanks to my family for dinner. Thanks for all the cards, gifts, calls, ﬂowers and your presence at the reception. Thanks to my daughters and granddaughters for the beautiful cake and punch. Everyone did a great job keeping it a secret! I read every card and may have shed a tear or two for all the sweet words of kindness and I laughed out loud at the funny ones. Some cards talked or played music and one blew a "siren sound" to put out the ﬁre from 80 candles. It was a great day! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Winston rehires principals, will hold open house March 1 The Winston R-6 Board of Education rehired High School Principal Chris Gagnon and Elementary Principal Pam Madison for the 2018-2019 school year during their meeting held Jan. 16.

New city water plant to be online by end of March Gallatin’s new water plant is making great progress, according to Public Works Director Mark Morey. The contractor will start filling the clear well tomorrow. The filter media has been installed and crews will start backwashing this week. Crews plan to have the water online by the end of March. In other news at the Feb. 26 City of Gallatin meeting, Mr. Morey led a discussion on 2018 street projects. He asked the board to consider two options. Option 1: Repaving Willow Street from Jackson to Plaza Apartments and using additional funds for crack patching and pothole patching. Option 2: Repaving shorter streets and chip sealing Richardson, Olive, Park, and around the square. Morey will provide additional information at the next meeting for the board to consider. The board agreed to obtain a quote to mill South Prospect (south of Hwy 13). Mr. Morey will collect bids for tree trimming on the last two electric circuits. The VFD at Well #2 was replaced for $3,800. The city received a MIRMA score of 88/100 this year for its annual inspection. An electric pole located east of the power plant has to be replaced. Scobee Electric won the bid last year at $10,000 and would like to schedule a couple days for the live pole replacement. At the last meeting of the aldermen, Charlie Zitnik with D.A. Davidson Company (financial advisors) led a discussion on refinancing the city’s electric bonds at 3.38% interest which would save the city $12,000. Steve Goehl with DA Davidson continued the discussion on refinancing the city’s electric bonds. An ordinance was accepted

authorizing the city to enter into a lease purchase transaction. The proceeds will be used to refinance the costs of electric system improvements. It will also be used to pay the costs of purchasing police equipment. Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity. There was 1 nuisance issue; 1 report of property damage, by vehicle; 1 juvenile problem; 1 animal problem; and 1 domestic disturbance. There are no dogs currently in the pound. Repairs to the pound will be complete in the next week. Bills in the amount of $28,623.28 were approved for payment. Discussion was held on the following server quotes: Harland Technology Services, $13,558.08, and Green Hills Communications, $9,750. The server and server install bid from Green Hills Communications for $9,750 was accepted by the board. Discussion was held on the People Service Operation & Maintenance Report for January 2018. The board requested an in-

surance retainage ordinance to be drafted for the next meeting. The board was provided examples from other cities for grave marking fees. The board entered into closed session to consider legal actions, causes of action or litigation involving a public governmental body and any confidential or privileged communications between a public governmental body or its representatives and its attorneys; to consider the leasing, purchase or sale of real estate; and to consider the hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting of particular employees. The above is taken from the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the City Of Gallatin held Feb. 26 at City Hall. Those present were Mayor Barb Ballew, President of Board John Whitfield, Aldermen Carol Walker, Dan Lockridge, Steve Evans, City Clerk Hattie Bailey, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chief Mark Richards, Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett, and Steve Goehl with D.A. Davidson.

Report potholes on state roads Throughout March, maintenance crews with the Missouri Department of Transportation will be repairing potholes to keep roads as safe and smooth as possible. The public is asked to report potholes so MoDOT maintenance crews can assess the damage and complete the needed repairs. Motorists can report the location of potholes on state maintained roads using the following tools: Call the 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASKMODOT (888-275-6636); Use the Report a Road Concern form on the web at www.modot.org; Use

your smart phone/tablet with a mobile friendly form at www.modot.org/roadconcern; By email to comments@modot.mo.gov. Potholes form when temperatures warm up during the day, but continue to be cold at night. This is the main cause of potholes in highways and why they are prevalent during spring. The rain and snow from winter leave moisture that seeps into cracks and joints in the pavement. When temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands the pavement. Potholes on city streets or subdivisions should be directed to local cities or counties.

Boot Hill (continued from page one) Boot Hill is also well known for their yearly fundraising shoot called the “Black Dog” in August. With the new location, this shoot’s name will change to the “Veteran’s Shoot.” Boot Hill is the host club for this shoot, but it is put on by the “Shoot Like a Girl” organization. The proceeds from this shoot and a couple of other events put on by “Shoot Like a Girl” are all donated to the Cameron Veteran’s Home. In 2016 they raised $25,000 and in 2017 they raised $30,000 for the home. This is the biggest shooting event at Boot Hill. This year’s 11th annual “Shoot Like a Girl” event is scheduled for Aug. 11 and is directed by Neva Woody of Hamilton. This year, a new fundraising shoot is being held at Boot Hill on April 14. This will be a shoot for the Missouri Conservation Department. There will be individual events as well as a team event. Boot Hill is also the host club for the Northwest Missouri Sporting Clays League that runs from April through September. This league is designed for beginners and experienced shooters alike. League members shoot one round of sporting clays each month. All shooters are divided into classes with shooters of like ability and shoot against

each other to determine placements. In 2016 there was over $11,000 in cash divided among eight classes with nine guns given away. In 2018 there will be 18 guns given away and likely over $15,000 in cash awarded to the class placements. There are many sponsors of this league, with the main sponsor being CZ-USA in Kansas City, KS. They are providing two grand prize guns valued at $1,799 each to be given away by drawing of the shooters that participated for the entire league. Additionally, two guns per month will be given away by drawing of all shooters that participated that month. In 2016 they had 101 shooters. League organizers are hoping for 125 shooters in 2018.

Scam on the line, here are some tips to identify fakes, avoid being fooled According to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, they receive a high volume of callers who have received telephone calls that are scams. Many times, the callers will have personal information that leads victims to believe the calls are legitimate. If in doubt, don’t take a chance on losing your identity or your money to a scam artist. Follow the tips below to avoid being fooled: If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee, record the employee’s name, badge number, call back number and caller ID if available. Then call 1-800-3664484 to determine if the caller is an IRS employee with a legitimate need to contact you. Here are some tips to identify phone scams: Phishing: Taxpayers need to be on guard against fake emails or websites looking to steal personal information. The IRS will never initiate contact with taxpayers via email about a bill or refund. Don t click on one claiming to be from the IRS. Be wary of emails and websites that may be nothing more than scams to steal personal information. Phone Scams: Phone calls from criminals impersonating IRS agents remain an ongoing threat to taxpayers. The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams in recent years as con artists threaten taxpayers with police arrest, deportation and license revocation, among other things. Identity Theft: Taxpayers need to watch out for identity theft especially around tax time. The IRS continues to aggressively pursue the criminals that file fraudulent returns using someone else s Social Security number. Though the agency is making progress on this front, taxpayers still need to be extremely cautious and do everything they can to avoid being victimized. Return Preparer Fraud: Be

on the lookout for unscrupulous return preparers. The vast majority of tax professionals provide honest high-quality service. There are some dishonest preparers who set up shop each filing season to perpetrate refund fraud, identity theft and other scams that hurt taxpayers. Fake Charities: Be on guard against groups masquerading as charitable organizations to attract donations from unsuspecting contributors. Be wary of charities with names similar to familiar or nationally known organizations. Contributors should take a few extra minutes to ensure their hard-earned money goes to legitimate and currently eligible charities. IRS.gov has the tools taxpayers need to check out the status of charitable organizations.

Mini-maker faire set for March 3 What do beehives, blacksmithing, glassmaking, robots and hamster wheels have in common? They are among the area makers signed up to be part of the Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire in northwest Missouri. The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire will debut March 3 at the Restoration Natatorium on North Second and Francis streets in St. Joseph, Mo. Makers are creative folks, entrepreneurs, tinkerers, inventors, hobbyists, crafters, educators and homespun engineers. And Maker Faire is a place where all these makers show what they have made and share what they have learned. Among those makers signed up is the Kansas Bee Company. It will bring an observation hive of bees to give the public an upclose and inside view of a bee colony. They also will provide education on things people can do to help conserve bees. The two-year-old Missouri School of Blacksmithing will introduce Faire visitors to the ancient art of forging metal and using tools to hammer, bend and cut. The school’s founder, Matthew Burnett, says, “I try to approach my classes and teaching from the perspective of what I would like to learn as a student.” Tobiason Studios of St. Joseph will give visitors a chance to try cutting glass while they check out different types of glass, projects and tools used in glass-

making. Maker Faire guests will also get hands-on with three different 4-H projects provided by the Oh My, The Robots are Here! team. One of their projects, “junk drawer robotics,” will give participants a chance to build a simple robot using common materials available around the house. The hamster wheel maker is unique among the unusual and extraordinary. It's the only seven-foot human-powered hamster wheel that allows participants to craft their own custom frozen beverage with no electricity. Other makers include the U.S. Patent Office, Rolling Hills Library Createspace, 3D Print Everything, St. Joseph Writers Guild, 3D Printer Build, You Dream it You Can Make It, Plasma Cutting, Portable Computer Lab and the LT-1000 Trainer Simulator.

Autism is a spectrum of closely related symptoms involving behavioral, social and cognitive deficits. Early detection of autism in children is key to producing the best outcomes; however, searching for the genetic causes of autism is complicated by various symptoms found within the spectrum. Now, a multi-disciplinary team of researchers at the University of Missouri created a new computational method that has connected several target genes to autism. Recent discoveries could lead to screening tools for young children and could help doctors determine correct interventions when diagnosing autism. Unlocking the genetic causes of autism requires data-intensive computations. In 2014, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $1 million in two grants to MU to install a supercomputer enabling data-intensive research and education in the fields of bioinformatics and data-driven engineering applications. “In this study we started with more than 2,591 families who had only one child with autism and neither the parents nor the siblings had been diagnosed with autism,” said Chi-Ren Shyu, director of the Informatics Institute and the Paul K. and Dianne Shumaker Endowed Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the MU College of Engineering. “This created a genetically diverse group composed of an estimated 10 million genetic variants. We narrowed it down to the 30,000 most promising variants, then used preset algorithms and the big data capabilities of our high-performance computing equipment at MU to ‘mine’ those genetic variables.” The genetic samples were obtained from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. Samples from children with diagnosed cases of autism, and their unaffected parents and siblings were collected leading to more than 11,500 individuals. Using advanced computational techniques, Shyu and his team were able to identify 286 genes that were then collected into 12 subgroups that exhibited commonly

seen characteristics of children on the spectrum. Of these genes, 193 potentially new genes not found in previous autism studies were discovered. “Autism is heterogeneous, meaning that the genetic causes are varied and complex,” said Judith Miles, professor emerita of child health-genetics in the MU Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. “This complexity makes it tough for geneticists to get at the root of what triggers the development of autism in more conventional ways. The methods developed by Dr. Shyu and the results our team identified are giving geneticists a wealth of targets we’d not considered before—by narrowing down the genetic markers, we may be able to develop clinical programs and methods that can help diagnose and treat the disease. These results are a quantum leap forward in the study of the genetic causes of autism.” This informatics framework is

Ryan Horsman announces campaign for circuit judge Chillicothe Attorney Ryan Horsman has announced his campaign to run for Division 2 Circuit Judge in Missouri’s 43rdJudicial Circuit Court, which is comprised of Livingston, Daviess, Caldwell, Clinton, and DeKalb Counties. Horsman will be seeking the position currently held by Division 2 Judge Brent Elliott, who has filed for reelection to the office. Judge Thomas Chapman also filed for reelection as Circuit Judge in Division 1 of the R yan H orsman 43rd Circuit. At presstime, Chapman was unopposed for the position. Mr. Horsman is a lifelong resident of North Missouri. He earned his B.S. degree in Political Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2004. Upon graduating from Mizzou, Horsman attended law school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, earning his Juris Doctor in 2007. After law school, Horsman worked at the Polsinelli Law

Firm for several years, where he was involved in state and federal lawsuits. Horsman later served as a prosecutor in the offices of the Missouri Attorney General and the Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney, serving as lead counsel for cases involving sex crimes, crimes against children and other serious felonies. As a result of his work in Jackson County, Horsman was awarded 2017 Prosecutor of the Year by the Professional Fire and Fraud Investigators Association. Horsman maintains a civil law practice at the Chapman & Cowherd Law Firm in Chillicothe and also serves as the prosecuting attorney in Mercer County. “I have dedicated my professional career to protecting Missouri families and our values,” Horsman says, “and that includes relentlessly advocating for the rights of others who may not otherwise be able to advocate for themselves inside the courtroom. I am fully prepared to serve the citizens of the 43rd Circuit as a circuit judge. I have a consistent record of upholding the law with integrity, and I am eager to serve in a greater capacity.” Horsman is a member of the

Rotary Club of Chillicothe, a board member of the Livingston County Community Foundation as well as a board member of the Green Hills Women’s Shelter, which provides support for women who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Horsman also serves as a youth sports coach. Horsman and his wife, Lauren (Brodmerkle) Horsman, and their two daughters, Harper (6) and Hayden (3), are active members of the Chillicothe United Methodist Church. “The safety, security, and wellbeing of my family, friends, and neighbors is a priority for me,” Mr. Horsman says. “I believe in accountability and adhering to the law. Though the position of circuit judge is one of authority, I will never forget that the role of a judge is one of a public servant. “As a circuit judge, I will apply my years of diverse experience and passion for my community to ensure the citizens of the 43rd Circuit have a fair and just legal system.” Mr. Horsman has retained Axiom Strategies to consult on his campaign.

CHAPTER EIGHT OF EIGHT

KALI:

A Polar Bear’s Tale

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

Chapter Eight: In the 1920s, the Saint Louis Zoo built some of the nation’s first naturalistic bear habitats by creating rocky grottos from molds of nearby Missouri bluffs. Other zoos followed this example, inspiring a new generation of zoo habitats. Nearly a century later, these original bear grottos needed upgrades. The Saint Louis Zoo built a $16 million polar bear habitat with two freshwater pools, two filled with saltwater, a coast-like terrain, a sandy beach and an area of grass. Add a climate-controlled building with polar bear bedrooms and the Zoo’s Polar Bear Point became a beautiful, 21st century upgrade, a new model for bear care. All it needed was a polar bear. Kali, a wild-born, Alaskan polar bear, was the responsibility of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Its officials decided the Saint Louis Zoo’s newly designed polar bear habitat was the perfect permanent home for the young bear. Kali had been shy and cautious when he first arrived in Buffalo from the many changes in this life. But playing with Luna had helped Kali grow to become a confident, strong bear, ready for any challenge. Caitlin would miss the boisterous adolescent bear, but also knew he had a bright future ahead of him. So, how does an 850-pound polar bear travel from New York to Missouri? The same way any special delivery might: via FedEx. Caitlin trained Kali in the weeks before his departure, to calmly walk into a huge aluminum crate, a move he performed on his departure day. Kali’s crate was loaded into a truck, which drove him to Rochester, New York, where his crate was transferred to a plane to Memphis, Tennessee. Kali had already been on quite a few flights, but flying a tiny cub is quite different from flying a large, sub-adult polar bear! FedEx donated their expertise and services for Kali’s trip. A veterinarian and zoo officials flew with Kali, caring for him to keep him calm and comfortable. In Memphis, Kali was loaded onto another truck. During the 4-hour drive to St. Louis, he was monitored by advanced technology, with frequent checks by a veterinarian, curator and zookeepers. The temperature was kept at a polar-bear-friendly 55 degrees and frequent stops were made to check on his comfort. It was a lovely May evening when his truck pulled up to the Saint Louis Zoo. After a long journey, Kali finally made it to his new home. The kids looked from Julie to Kali in wonder, marveling at the long journey the bear took to get to St. Louis. After all that, here he was, swimming right in front of them. “That’s his story,” Julie told the crowd. “That’s how Kali got here.” “But if Kali’s from Alaska,” one boy asked, “how can he live in St. Louis? It’s so hot here in the summertime!”

“Well,” Julie started, “he has access to an air-conditioned building, but honestly he usually chooses to be outside, no matter how hot it is. He has two saltwater pools to cool off in, but he just doesn’t feel heat in the same way that we do. Polar bears are so well-insulated with their thick coats and fat layers that their core temperature is stabilized, like a thermos that keeps things both hot and cool.” “Don’t you think he misses Luna, though?” another child asked. “Polar bears are actually solitary animals,” Julie answered. “The only times polar bears are with other bears are when a mother has cubs, several bears are feeding in one spot, or there’s a mating relationship but even that would only last 2-3 weeks. So, Kali is housed as he would live in the wild as a young, adult male polar bear.” The kids nodded. “All right,” Julie said, “let’s give this bear some food.” Much to the crowd, and Kali’s, delight, she rolled meatballs, carrots, fish and chow down a chute into the pool, with a little bit of lard for dessert! She then stood back and watched as the big bear floated in the water, crunching on his carrots and slurping down fish. Little eyes and faces pressed against the glass and stared up at him in wonder. Watching these kids interact with Kali never ceased to amaze Julie. Separated by only a pane of glass, they were nose to nose with a real polar bear! “I love Kali,” she heard a little boy say to his mother. Julie smiled. She knew that every day Kali spent simply playing in his pool, he was inspiring the next generation to fall in love with polar bears.

Lake Viking couple led by the heart to Puerto Rico b y T. L . Huffman

Penny and Drexel Kramme have been aiding the people of Puerto Rico ever since the island was hit by Hurricane Maria in September of last year. Hurricane Maria caused catastrophic damage and numerous fatalities — it is regarded as the worst natural disaster on record in Dominica and Puerto Rico. “This is not about us, alone; it is something so much more,” says Penny. “We could never do this without the certainty, deep in our hearts, that this is where God is asking us to go.” Drexel and Penny began their personal relief effort for Puerto Rico by working from You are invited to “Tag Along On Our Journey,” a Facebook page by the Krammes their house at Lake Viking and via the Gallatin Post Office. They packaged and mailed things like flashlights, batteries, dry goods, solar lights, children’s toys and feminine hygiene products. They would buy the donations one week and ship them the next.

This work actually began immediately after hurricane Maria made landfall on Sept. 20. “If not for Jamesport Surplus and Jamesport Grocery, our shipments in September and October would have been much less,” Penny says. “Both of those gentlemen heard our cry for help, and either gave us discounted items or actual donations of product. Their big hearts allowed us to increase our shipments to Puerto Rico.” Next Penny found herself a member of the Fab 5, an online support team for Jason Maddy, a former Army Cavalry Scout who became founder and CEO of Veteran Disaster Relief. Maddy went to Puerto Rico of his own accord. “He’s been an overnight sensation with the media and was interviewed by about every major television network,” says Penny. Hurricane Maria brought widespread flooding, uprooted trees, decimated vegetation, and left much of the housing and infrastructure in Puerto Rico beyond repair. The island’s population suffered from a lack of basic resources. They had no water, food, power or medicine. All of that misery was compounded by a slow relief process. Roads and bridges were washed away or blocked by debris. Maddy was able to reach some of the most remote areas

where people needed rescued, areas others could not reach. He would take photos, locate the spot on GPS, and relay the coordinates and mark landing zones for the military so supplies could be dropped. “These are mountain-top rescues,” Penny noted. “Lives are in danger.” Maddy gained thousands of Facebook followers during his effort to search in the most remote locales of Puerto Rico’s mountainous terrain. He and wife Aliesha were not able to field all the comments he was receiving on his Facebook page and gave a shout out for help. That’s how the FAB 5, which included Penny, formed and became his support team. In the beginning they fielded all of the comments and private messages from family and friends looking for loved ones.

handled with the sketchy communication system on the island,” she says. Maddy delivers much-needed generator kits. The kits include the generator, a chain and padlock, gasoline, and cash to buy more gasoline; as well as water filtering kits, and shelf stable foods. “Jason (Maddy) enD rexe l and Penny K ramme continue to ship items f rom their home.
