Bids to resurface Daviess Street range widely Street resurfacing bids were announced by the Gallatin Board of Aldermen during their meeting April 8. Bidding for several streets was provided by three contractors. Herzog had a flat rate per ton, but Keller and Musselman bid specific per ton amounts based on each individual street. At this time the board is considering resurfacing Daviess Street so the bids were read as follows: Herzog Contracting Corp., $78/ton – 1,566 tons ($122,148); Keller Construction Co., $90/ton – 1,561 tons ($140,490); Musselman & Hall Contractors, LLC, $108/ton – 1,900 tons ($205,200). City Clerk Hattie Rains will provide an ordinance next meeting for the board to enter into a contract with Herzog Contracting Corporation for the resurfacing, pending verification of paying prevailing wage, bonding, and appropriate insurance. Street Superintendent Jeff Johnson led a discussion with the board concerning city streets. The street department is waiting on more patching material from Keller and they plan to address more potholes on West Grand. Johnson believes milling is needed to get the streets level again and the streets also need adequate base underneath to hold up over time. He requested the board consider buying a high flow skid loader and a milling machine that would allow the street crew to mill in-house when needed. The street crews fixed the road into the city dump and plan to fill more potholes this week. Newly elected board members were sworn in and the results of the municipal election for the City of Gallatin held April 2 declared as follows: Mayor, Barbara Ballew, 176 votes; East

Searcy R-5 kindergarten class students with Superintendent Dr. Bryan Copple

Taking a walk along the school’s new walkway An enclosed walkway from Searcy Elementary to the Gallatin Middle School is now complete, except for some cosmetic and minor corrections, according to R-5 Superintendent Dr. Bryan Copple. The walkway was among the proposed building additions to be funded by an operating levy which passed in the April 2017 election. WSKF Architects out of Kansas City began a site survey for the walkway

in March of 2018. Originally proposed as an enclosed walkway, that plan was altered after bids came in too high in August 2018. The architect revised the drawings with adjustments to the footings and canopy. The walkway was bid out again with bids closing in September. Rick Kuhl of WSKF Architects discussed the design of the new walkway during the October 2018 meeting of the Gallatin Board

of Education. The walkway would have an aluminum canopy and be enclosed with a heavy opaque material. White and red school lettering would be added. The winning bid for construction of the walkway was from Herner, St. Joseph, for $228,500. Construction began in November and was scheduled to be completed in February of 2019. However, the bad winter weather delayed progress.

Sportswriter Dennis Cox presented with distinguished statewide award Dennis Cox, sports editor for the Gallatin North Missourian, has been awarded the Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Distinguished Award in recognition of his outstanding support of high school athletics in Northwest Missouri. Dennis was nominated for this award by Gallatin R-5 Athletic Director Barron Gann. He was presented with the award on April 7 during a conference for Missouri High School Athletic Directors at Tan Tara Resort, Lake of the Ozarks. Each year, a limited number of awards are given to persons outside the field of interscholastic administration in recognition of their service to interscholastic athletics. Dennis Cox was born, raised, and has lived his entire life in the Daviess County area. The younger of two rambunctious boys, Dennis enjoyed singing at church and riding his bike. He began playing baseball at age seven and often listened with his dad to Athletic Baseball radio broadcasts. He continued to play baseball in high school and earned a spot on the Caldwell County Pony League All-Star Team for three consecutive years before moving on to the Legion Team. Dennis also played football, lining up mostly as guard and middle linebacker. He was football team captain his senior year. His former teammates can testify that he was “small but mighty.” Also during high school, he covered sports for the local newspaper and kept the official scorebook at Penney High School basketball games. After graduating from Penney High School in 1973, Dennis attended Northwest Missouri State University

and earned a business degree. Never wanting to be far from home, Dennis returned to Hamilton. In 1982, he got a job as sports editor at the Hamilton Advocate newspaper. He was promoted to managing editor in 1990. In

Dennis Cox, with his wife, Joyce, and Gallatin R-5 Athletic Director Barron Gann

1994, Dennis took a new job as sports editor for the Gallatin North Missourian. He eventually became involved in additional newspaper production and is responsible for much of the pre-press setup and delivery of printing plates. He currently remains in this position. Dennis is an active community member, currently serving as president of Hamilton Lions Club. He started the Missouri Lions District 26F All-Star High School Basketball Classic in 1992 and served on that committee for five years. He also served on the Missouri Lions All-Star Football Committee from 1989 to 1992. He is a past president of the Caldwell County Community Arts Board. He is a past board member of the Hamilton Federated Church and has maintained the church website for a number of years. He is the “go-to guy” when anyone in the community has a question about local history — whether it be about sports or other historical events. Dennis currently lives with his wife, Joyce, on his well-manicured three-acre ranch south of Gallatin. He is well-known at the county library as an avid reader who especially enjoys books pertaining to U.S. history. Other hobbies include outdoor photography, fishing, wine tasting, and managing numerous fantasy teams. Dennis estimates that during his career, he has covered at least 400 high school football games, over 1000 basketball games, 300 softball games, and 300 wrestling and track meets. Even as Dennis looks forward to retirement, he does not intend to give up this part of his job. One thing is certain: Dennis will never be far from a ball game.

A special champion This has been a long time coming. Our sportwriter Dennis Cox certainly deserves the Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Distinguished Award which he received at Tan Tara Resort last weekend. Those who follow school sports in Daviess and Caldwell counties have appreciated Dennis’s talent for decades. Perhaps Penney High School’s retired head football Coach Dave Fairchild says it best: “...Dennis is by far the best sportswriter I have worked with. He is a true professional who is fair and balanced in his coverage. He is well known by coaches and student athletes throughout Northwest Missouri and has their respect. Dennis has been a promoter of athletes in the area and has had a positive impact on their lives.” Over the years several high school students have job shadowed him at the Gallatin plant to learn more about sports writing. Readers look forward to his personal column called “Season Pass,” where he shares personal memories from Off the Editor’s Spike... childhood or opinions about recent sporting events. Here is an excerpt from one of his “Season Pass” articles: “Growing up on the farm with few opportunities to see live sports, I rarely missed a pro sports event on television, and that included Gust by Darryl Wilkinson Karras’s weekly wrestling program on Channel 2. Every Saturday night, my brother and I would park ourselves in front of the TV and pick sides with guys like Sonny Myers, Bob Geigel, The Stomper, and The Viking, who squared off against each other. “There for a while, you just knew that before the night was over, someone would get put to sleep with the infamous ‘sleeper’ hold ... I remember at least once going to the old auditorium in St. Joe for a night of wrestling. The cigarette and cigar smoke was so thick you could barely see the ring. And the noise! “Another time, Karras brought his wrestling troupe to Gallatin’s Dockery Park. They set the ring up in the middle of the infield. I remember getting to shake hands with both Karras and Myers and thinking it didn’t get any better than that. Anyway, I’ll always remember Gust Karras as one of those odd guys that passed in and out of my childhood, leaving a bunch of good memories … ones that I wouldn’t trade for gold.” The following personal insight also was shared during the award presentation: For many years, Dennis remained an eligible bachelor while dedicating most of his time to doing his job and playing slow-pitch softball. In the mid 1990s his “now-wife” Joyce became acquainted (continued on page 3)

And so begins our annual battle on whether or not to plant a garden. I’m not entirely unsympathetic.

In quest of informed voters

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

I want to update you on the progress of two House bills designed to better inform the public on the collection and spending of local tax dollars. The first is HB 762, which would establish the “Missouri Municipal Government Expenditure Database.” This database would allow the public free access to see how their city governments spend their tax dollars, including the vendors’ names to oosey whom payments were made. Publicizing this information, according to the bill sponsor, will Timeless musings from bring about a greater transparFrieda Marie Crump ency of how taxpayer money is spent, and thus potentially reduce fraud and corruption. The State of Missouri already has a similar portal for the public to check how state tax dollars are spent at mapyourtaxes. mo.gov. If passed, this bill would go into effect in 2022, giving cities over two years to get their information online. The second bill is HB 374, which would inform voters on the ballot with more information

A $93 trillion pipe dream we can’t afford by U.S. Senator Roy Blunt

The Senate recently had a vote on the Green New Deal – a wide-ranging bill that would vastly expand the federal government’s authority and cost our economy trillions. No sooner had the sponsors introduced the bill – which is really a grab bag of progressive policy proposals — than they were complaining about it coming to a vote. Having read it myself, I can’t blame them. It’s chock full of bad ideas and, while it may have failed in the Senate, we’re sure to hear more about it between now and the election. It’s worth taking a look at what the Green New Deal would mean for Missourians, especially in our rural areas. One of the main goals of the Green New Deal is to completely phase out the types of reliable, affordable energy we rely on in our state. The bill requires the United States to switch to renewable fuels within a decade – a goal that even President Obama’s former science advisor has said is not feasible. The renewable energy mandate would cause families’ utility bills to increase by double digits, which means less money to spend on groceries, doctors’ visits and school supplies. The next time you pay your utility bill, write it out of your checkbook one more time just to see what would happen if this poorly thought out policy goes into effect. The legislation also gives the federal government unprecedented control over Americans’ private property. In order to meet strict new energy mandates in the bill, countless factories, main street businesses, and homes would have to be overhauled or completely rebuilt. Farming would

be all but impossible. Even if we had electric tractors and combines, we wouldn’t have the capacity to power them. Blake Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, has said that transitioning Missouri ag to renewable energy would require “totally rebuilding the electrical grid.” It’s as unrealistic as it is unaffordable. Some of the worst ideas in the Green New Deal have nothing to do with climate change or anything “green” at all. One of the most concerning parts of the plan is that it includes a government takeover of health care. The “Medicare for All” proposal would really mean “Medicare for None.” It outlaws private insurance plans most Americans have today, which sounds just fine to one of my Senate colleagues who’s running for president. She said, “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.” In this case, moving on would mean people losing control over their own health care decisions and a huge tax hike to cover the $36 trillion price tag. To put that in perspective, that’s about the same cost to rebuild America’s Interstate highways every year for a century. That’s just one part of the proposal. All told, the Green New Deal would, according to one analysis, cost upwards of $93 trillion. It’s a huge price to pay, not just in dollars and cents but in the choices it would take away from people to decide what’s best for them and their families. Ideas like the Green New Deal may sound appealing to some people on the far end of the political spectrum, but this is not something our country could afford and most Americans could support.

about details of a potential sales tax increase. Our state allows not only for county sales taxes and city sales taxes, but also a myriad of other mini-taxing districts to be established for transportation and infrastructure. These sales taxes can be layered, resulting in shoppers not knowing what sales they may be paying from store to store. When new taxes are proposed in local ballot measures, voters are often unsure of whether the new tax is relatively high, low, or average in comparison to neighboring areas. HB 374 would require language showing the highest tax rate, lowest tax

rate, and average tax rate in the city be published on the ballot so voters are informed and have perspective when they vote on potential tax hikes. HB 374 is a follow up to last year’s HB 1858, which requires the Missouri Department of Revenue to publish a map showing the sales tax rates of all locations throughout the state. This map would allow our shoppers to compare the tax rates in, say, St. Joseph at East Hills Mall versus The North Shoppes versus buying in our local hometowns. This map should be available on the Department of Revenue’s website, dor.mo.gov, later this year.

Spike: A special champion with him at basketball games and wrestling meets. Joyce says she was attracted to that “backwards ball cap,” but would later learn that the man’s head was full of meaningless stats that could be recited at the drop of that hat. Joyce finally snagged a date to a Royals game, and the couple married in 1996. This is when Dennis became the father of two teenagers. One of his first jobs as a new dad was to coach a Pony League Baseball team. He also encouraged son Lance to give his best effort on the football field and later in track. Daughter Katie emulated her “Pa” by pursuing a career in journalism. That’s Dennis’s special touch on lives. In spite of some major life changes, Dennis never turned his back on high school sports. For close to 40 years, he has showcased student athletes and coaches in a weekly full-page spread that could rival larger newspapers. Over time, he has learned to put a good spin on even the worst game. Dennis understands that tenacity, leadership, and sportsmanship are also an important part of any contest. Parents frequently approach him on the sidelines to express their gratitude. Dennis has lots of wonderful memories, but here are a few of his favorites: ●● Covering the Kansas City Royals in the 1985 AL Championship versus Toronto and having a pre-game conversation with Toronto Manager Bobby Cox ●● Helping clear the Hamilton-Penney Football Field of snow and ice for the 1986 sectional game against Grain Valley; the temperature that day was below zero with a wind chill of (-)20 degrees ●● Covering the Gallatin girls first ever trip to the Class I State Basketball Championship game in 1995-96 ●● Covering the Hamilton-Penney first Class I State Football Championship game in 2009 ●● Covering Winston Boys Class I State Basketball Championship game in 2015 ●● Interviewing returning veterans from Desert Storm in the early 1990s Although this appears on the front page announcing Dennis’s honor, the following bears repeating and your full consideration: During his career, Dennis has covered at least 400 high school football games, over 1,000 basketball games, 300 softball games, and 300 wrestling and track meets. What really underscores this feat is how

these numbers don’t quite tell the full story. What really sets Dennis apart is the effort he put in after the last whistle — hours upon hours in the dark room developing film, then chasing down details beyond statistics, tracking down a coach for a special quote. Dennis always finds ways to accent the positive regardless of the score. Dennis understands the precarious balance between whatever drives an individual to reach for personal excellence against the countering need for teamwork with others. He empathizes with the coach held responsible not just to accumulate wins but to help mold youngsters and teenagers into young men and women. Thus, Dennis spent a career upholding what’s good about amateur sports. Thank you, Dennis. As an editor, Dennis has spoiled me. We never worry about Dennis missing an important game or making a deadline even when he should have been home in bed to battle an ailment. We have shared many good times together, especially some Saturday mornings not just rehashing last night’s game but whatever was going on in life. A special sports memory we’ve shared concerns that first time GHS sent a girls basketball team to the state tournament. Knowing Dennis had my back meant I could watch the game like any other father with two daughters on the team. It was the same when my sons donned pads for the Red-nBlack, allowing me to savor football games against Rock Port and Hamilton ...and even that tough semi-final loss to eventual state champion South Shelby. I can’t tell you how much this still means to me. What I’m trying to say is that Dennis is not only a valued employee but a true friend. And Liz and I are in a long, long line of parents who appreciate his special talent in caring about our kids. He approaches each game he covers with the same compassion, whether it’s a thoroughly forgettable junior high contest or a state championship. Lots of other parents, not just us, call him friend. We are very pleased to say Dennis does not intend to give up sports writing even as

So, as you glance around the bleachers or sidelines, you’ll likely see that familiar little guy scribbling on a notepad or aiming a digital camera at the action. Some may think that odd in this day and age of “selfies” and Facebook posts where anything goes, especially when Dennis doesn’t even have family directly involved in the game. Dennis’s family goes beyond blood lines. Dennis writes with integrity and balance for a purpose. It’s a noble game he plays, reminding us why amateur sports have a special place in our society and in lifetime memories. His job is to remind us how the basketball court or athletic field is actually a classroom where learning is the top priority. And he does this very well. In the best ways possible, Dennis helps us all understand what it means to be a winner.

Young turkey hunters harvest 22 birds According to preliminary data from Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), young Daviess County turkey hunters reported taking a total of 22 turkeys during the 2019 spring youth season, April 6-7. Daviess harvested 17 adult gobblers, five juvenile gobblers and no bearded hens. Statewide, 2,540 turkeys were taken with top harvest counties being Franklin with 61 turkeys harvested, Laclede with 56, and Texas with 52. Warm weather and sunny skies helped increase

this year’s youth weekend harvest over last year’s where young hunters checked 1,729 turkeys. Spring turkey hunting continues with the upcoming regular spring turkey hunting season April 15 through May 5. Hunters who harvest their first turkey can have the accomplishment recognized through a special certificate from MDC, complete with a photo.

By Tim Baker, MU Regional Horticulturist It’s springtime and whether you know it or not, you are probably exercising your phenological talents. If you find yourself closely watching the progression of spring, you are most likely a genuine phenologist. Phenology is the study of the influence of climate on biological events such as animal migrations and flowering in plants. This time of year, we closely watch the progression of budding and flowering, with an eye on the weather forecast. We are all too familiar with orchard crop losses due to late frosts during full bloom. The phenologist asks, “What environmental conditions control the development of buds and flowering?” If we can understand the principles involved, there might be hope for controlling the timing of blooms and preventing crop losses. Unfortunately, it is not an exact science at this point, although we discover more every year. Temperature is an obvious factor that can speed up or slow down the bud development and time of blooming. The rates of chemical processes are always temperature-dependent and warmer temperatures speed up the plant’s physiology. Another factor is day length. In addition, most woody species in our part of the world have chilling requirements to meet.

Even if you get warm days in early winter, the trees will not grow leaves or bloom, since their chilling requirement has not been met. Once the requirement has been satisfied, they are ready to break dormancy when the weather turns warm. Other factors can complicate phenology. When I was working in southeast Missouri, we had a study at a peach orchard near Campbell that was looking at the effects of different rootstocks on bloom dates. The rootstock came from varieties of peach trees that had been specially selected for growing good root systems. In studies like these, the cultivar of peach that you want to harvest

(called the scion) is grafted onto the rootstock. One entry in the trial had an interstem, which is another variety, grafted between the rootstock and the scion. This had been shown to delay blooms for up to 7-15 days in other states where it has been studied. Our study Tim Baker did not find that much of a delay in peach blossoming, which was disappointing. But that is what research is all about. In my next column, I will continue this discussion. www.usanpn.org/.

Winston accepts mowing bid, hires sewer operator, loses ordinance officer

Gallatin fire report February, March

The Village of Winston Board of Trustees received two sealed bids for the park mowing position during their meeting held April 1. One was for $45 per mowing, and the other for $42.50 per mowing. The bid went to Mitch Caldwell of Winston for $42.50. Phil Clevenger expressed his interest in the open sewer operator position. He stated his qualifications and experience. After discussion, the board motioned to hire him as a contractor. The utilities clerk distributed a new list of delinquent customers, including two due for shutoff. The village clerk stated she needed binders and keys from employees and board members leaving. She also informed the board that bulk trash pickup is scheduled for May 18 and Nov. 2. Melvin McFee reported everything is working properly as far as sewer maintenance.

Come to the trial of the Big Bad Wolf!

By Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott Every year first grade students in Caldwell County are invited to the circuit courtroom in Kingston to participate and witness our judicial system in action. Each year Judge Jason Kanoy presides over the trial of the Big Bad Wolf who is charged with assaulting the Little Pig. Students are selected to serve as jurors, hear the evidence, and deliberate, until they reach a verdict. This year’s trial will com-

mence at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 12. If you are looking for entertainment – be there (arrive early to make sure you can get a seat). PERSONAL NOTE: As a young kid growing up near Eagleville I was fortunate to witness epic battles on the basketball courts between two of Missouri’s finest players. The 1962 State Runner-up North Harrison Shamrock team was built around Jerry Armstrong. The key cog in the 1963 State Runner-up Jameson Husky team was an outstanding guard named Larry Holley. Armstrong went on to stardom with NCAA Division I National Champion Texas Western University. He

was mentioned frequently in the movie “Glory Road” depicting the team’s historic drive to the national title. A few seasons ago, Armstrong retired after his successful career as a Missouri high school basketball coach and educator. Larry Holley had an outstanding college career as a William Jewell Cardinal. After brief stints coaching at other colleges, he returned to William Jewell and became one of the top ten winningest college basketball coaches in U.S. history. He recently announced his retirement signaling the end of an era. Forgive me if this season’s March Madness includes a little March sadness for me.

Fred Leroy Sweany, 80, Chillicothe, died April 6, 2019. Fred was born the son of Roy and Opal (Brown) Sweany, on Sept. 21, 1938. He was a 1956 graduate of Central High School, St. Joseph.

Mustang rally falls short against Grundy Co. The Tri-County/Gallatin Mustangs scored the final 5 runs of Tuesday’s baseball game but it wasn’t enough as they fell to the Grundy County/NewtownHarris Panthers, 11-5, at Jamesport City Park. The Panthers jumped out to an 11-0 lead and batted around 3 times before the Mustangs could make it once through their lineup. Grundy sent 14 batters to the plate in the third inning, using 4 singles, 5 walks and a pair of errors to score 9 runs. The Mustangs pushed a run across in the bottom of the fourth. Morgan McBroom was hit by a pitch and stole second and third bases. A Drayton Harris single scored McBroom. Tri-County took advantage of some shaky pitching in the fifth to score a pair of runs. Gage Wright, McBroom, Harris and Colton Rouner drew consecutive walks and Nate Tomlinson

was hit by a pitch. A walk to McBroom opened the bottom of the seventh for TriCounty. Harris singled and with one out, Gabe Allen reached first on a fielder’s choice and McBroom scored. A balk, with Brinley Vandiver at the plate, brought Harris home with the final run.

Weather permitting, the Mustangs will play in the MidBuchanan Tournament on Saturday. Mustangs will face host Mid-Buch at 11 a.m. They will play either St. Joseph Christian or Trenton in their second game. Tri-County will host the Pattonsburg Panthers next Tuesday in Jamesport.

Autism Awareness is growing!

Here is the artwork that was created after the Autism Awareness Assembly held April 1 at Gallatin High School. All 5th-12th graders who attended were given a puzzle piece to uniquely design. Then all the pieces were combined into a piece of artwork which is on display in the high school hallway. The reason for the Autism Awareness Assembly was not to help raise funds to “cure” autism, but rather to raise awareness that comes from diagnosing young children and raising funds to provide them with the resources that they need. The assembly was organized by the NHS Autism Awareness Committee and sponsor, Kim Johnson. Be sure to drive uptown to see the courthouse LIT UP BLUE all month long for Autism Awareness!

Co-ops have changed the face of North Missouri high school sports So far, the co-operative baseball agreement between Tri-County and Gallatin High Schools is working to the benefit of both schools. In a much larger sense, co-ops have been the life-saver for many small rural schools across north Missouri. Co-operative sports agreements have been around for a half dozen years and today’s landscape in North Missouri shows nearly as many “combined” athletic programs as single-school programs. Co-ops have been around even longer in the states of Iowa and Kansas. For the 2018-19 school year, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association approved over 150 co-operative agreements between schools for nearly every activity imaginable: football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, track and field, cross country, bowling, golf, tennis and cheerleading. Under a co-op agreement, students from two (sometimes approval for three) different schools may combine for interscholastic activities if they can provide proof to the Missouri State High School Athletic Association Board of Directors that neither school alone can provide numbers to support a program, or that a co-op would result in

Graydee Rains earns state academic honor Gallatin High School senior Graydee Rains has received “Honorable Mention” for the 2019 Scholars 100, a statewide program that honors 100 of Missouri’s top academic students in the graduating class of 2019. The announcement was made by Gallatin R-5 Principal Brent Burke. Missouri Scholars 100 is a program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals. Schools across Missouri were invited to nominate candidates for this statewide program. The selection is based primarily on a formula using the student’s grade point average and ACT or SAT score. Each student nominated had first to meet criteria of an “Academic Decathlon,” which included ten “events” designed to assure the academic strength of the student. The student must have a minimum GPA of 3.75, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1,600, be ranked in the upper 10 percent of the class and have taken high-level courses in mathematics, science, English and foreign language. The student must also have excellent attendance, be an exemplary school citizen and be involved in the school activity program.

SEASON PASS by Dennis Cox more opportunities for students to participate. When the co-op is formed, school classification numbers (enrollment, grades 9-12) are combined. The resulting classification for competition in an activity is based on the combined official enrollment of the two schools. That’s why the TriCounty/Gallatin baseball team is in Class 2 and not Class 1, even though smaller Tri-County is the designated host school. A school may have a co-op agreement with one school in a particular activity or sport and with another school in a different activity or sport. Schools are allowed to co-op if their district borders are touching, but the state activities association can consider special cases if it will increase the opportunities of students to participate; this after a school has been turned down by all school districts touching its borders. Some co-op agreements have become permanent. Cainsville and Ridgeway have combined to be known as East Harrison. Tarkio and Fairfax together are known as East Atchison. Jefferson and South Nodaway are now known as Platte Valley. There is

even one co-operative agreement for football and basketball between a public school and private school: Paris High School and Faith Walk Academy, also located in Paris. In addition to Tri-County/ Gallatin, all other high schools in Daviess County are now involved in a co-op agreement for at least one sport: Gilman City/ North Daviess (basketball, baseball), Pattonsburg/Gilman City/ North Harrison (football) and Maysville/Winston (football). Right now co-operative schools retain their own identity. One subject, perhaps for future discussion bears some thought ... is the prevalent use of co-ops, in some cases, the first step toward school consolidation? Along with others already mentioned, here is a list of cooperative agreements between schools, either high school or junior high, across the northern half of the state: Worth County/Northeast Nodaway Mound City/Craig North Nodaway/West Nodaway South Holt/Nodaway-Holt King City/Union Star Braymer/Breckenridge Princeton/Mercer Grundy County/Newtown-Harris Stewartsville/Osborn Keytesville/Brunswick Bosworth/Hale Southwest Livingston/Tina-Avalon Norborne/Hardin-Central (football) Lexington/Norborne (baseball) Sweet Springs/Malta Bend Bucklin/Macon County Lone Jack/Kingsville

Pictured are, front row from left, Essie Williamson, NCMC Dance Coach Melissa Spencer, and Sarabeth Michael; back row, Essie’s mother, Sarah Williamson; GHS cheer and dance coaches Crystal Crose and Missy Chadwick, and Sarabeth’s parents, Lisa Cobb and David Michael.

Two chosen for 1st ever NCMC Dance Team

Walking into the first ever dance team auditions at North Central Missouri College-Trenton, Gallatin seniors Essie Williamson and Sarabeth Michael were excited, if a bit nervous. But their years of experience and dedication to the art form paid off as they were selected and signed April 9 by NCMC Dance Team Coach Melissa Spencer during a ceremony at Gallatin High School. Both girls have been performing as cheerleaders since grade school and both have had a passion for dance from a young age. Their selection to the team was made even better by their being best friends. “I have been interested in dance ever since I started performing as a cheerleader,” says Essie. “It has always been a dream of mine to either dance or cheer in college.” “I’ve always loved to dance!” says Sarabeth. “It was awesome when I heard I was being recruited.” The North Central Missouri College Dance Team is a spirit organization that encourages interest and participation in the intercollegiate sports program. Essie and Sarabeth will act as ambassadors of good will, school spirit, scholarship and leadership. Dance team members will perform at all Lady Pirate and Pirate Basketball home games. The team will also be present at various athletic games and community events throughout the academic year. Nine dancers were selected after tryouts. NCMC Dance Team will be doing mostly hip hop routines. Their first clinic is May 4. Head Coach is Melissa Spencer.

Barabbas was in trouble -- tons of trouble! He was a member of the Zealots, a Jewish terrorist group dedicated to driving out the hated Romans. Barabbas has burned and looted and killed Roman soldiers. Eventually the Romans had caught him and now he was on “death row” awaiting crucifixion. So, when the guard came and unlocked his cell, Barabbas was expecting the worst. Instead, the guard said “You are one lucky man; another man, Jesus, took your place on the Cross; you're free to go!” Now, Barabbas had a choice -- to go back to being a terrorist or to become a follower of Jesus. We don't know which way he chose. We are all prisoners. We've been snared by Satan; we've allowed Satan to lead us astray -- away from God, away from life, away from freedom. How does Satan trap so many into a life of destruction and death, and cause us to lose our freedom? Simple: He appeals to our human desire to be “free.” Satan says: “Follow me and obey me and I will give you unlimited freedom. All of life will revolve around you; you'll be your own boss; you'll be free to do whatever you want to do, when and where you want to do it; you will decide what's true and what's not; and you will live by your own rules!” That's how Satan tempts us; that's how he enslaves us; that's why we wind up chained in his prison. Some people, however, wake up to the fact what they are Satan's slaves; they can only do what Satan allows them to do. They are only “free” to sin. The alcoholic says: “I can quit any time I want to.” The drug addict believes he can kick the habit if he tries hard enough. Those who become addicted to smoking or vaping think that because everybody else is doing it, it must be harmless. Criminals blame their behavior of getting in with the wrong crowd. Those who are jailed because of their violence of abuse, believe they can control their anger and rage. WRONG on all of the above. As long as one is self-centered and leave God out of their lives, they will remain Satan's prisoners. Under Satan's rule, our only freedom is the freedom to sin -- we have no other choice. The Good News us that Jesus proclaimed: “The reason I came among you is to set the prisoners free -- truly free!” Whatever sin one is hooked on can never be corrected by human means; only God can break the shackles of sin, by forgiving our sins; once we are forgiven, only then are we free to choose -- to obey God or to obey self (Satan). Rehab programs that leave God out are not effective; 37% of addicts are helped by human programs but God-centered programs like Teen Challenge have an 87% success rate. I've know people who have been seeing a psychiatrist for years where sin is never mentioned. They don't get better. Only God-centered programs, because they deal with the real problem (sin), are successful in helping people get well. Barabbas was in prison; he was not free. He faced both death and hell. Because of Jesus' death on the cross, and His resurrection, Barabbas was truly free -- free to choose between God and self, between life and death, between slavery and freedom. I hope and pray that Jesus' words will ring true in your life: “If I set you free, you will be truly free!” Only the power and grace of God can break the power of Satan and can set us free to live as we were designed to live. Praise be to God!

Keeping kids safe Annual school bus inspections have begun. The Gallatin R-5 School bus fleet of 11 buses is pictured as it is being inspected on April 9. Each year, members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Division inspect area school buses. R-5 Transportation Director Phillip Berry said the Patrol checked under the hood, tested the brakes and tires and examined safety equipment, just to name a few of the hundreds of things they looked at. The 2019 Missouri State Highway Patrol Annual School Inspection Results will be released sometime this spring.

Mucking stalls?

These parents do what they have to do

by T.L. Huﬀman

When Kristin and Caleb White, foster parents living in St. Joseph, had trouble with their adopted 12-year-old son, they decided on an old-fashioned course of action and went about it the high-tech way. Kristin posted the following message on the Northwest Missouri Farmers Swap Shop Facebook page:

Stalls to muck FREE Hey all! I have a son (12) who is beginning to be very rude and disrespectful to EVERYONE, teachers, parents, siblings, friends etc. The only consequence that we have learned that works for him is to muck the stalls. I would really appreciate it if any of you have stalls that need mucked that we could come and muck them. Before we bash my parenting (because I have been bashed), we have tried several other forms of punishment, earning things, taking things away, spending one on one time, etc. they don’t work. Please help me!

Kristin had lots of people reply, from Hamilton to Trimble who were willing to have her son muck their stalls as well as do other outdoor chores. “Probably about 30 or so,” says Kristin. “We mucked stalls several weeks ago for a gentleman before the flood. He is someone we never met, just through Facebook, someone who wanted to help us.” Currently, they have stalls to muck for the Beacon Farm in St. Joseph, a non-profit organization that grows food for those in need and supplies fresh produce to soup kitchens and food banks in St. Joseph. They are mucking their winter goat stalls and possibly a chicken coop. The “cure” for their preteen son seemed to work, then needed reinforcement. “He definitely improved after the first time mucking stalls,” says Kristin. “Then his behavior changed to rude and disrespectful again so we went ahead and started mucking stalls a second time around.” Kristin says as a foster family, they do not believe in spanking their children due to their past histories. They are raising five boys, ages 14, 12, 9, 4 and

Essay winners Hannah McDaniel and Megan Sayers

Pattonsburg R-2 and Breckenridge juniors among winning FEC essay contest winners Winners in the 56th Annual Farmers’ Electric Cooperative essay contest have been announced. Two juniors won allexpense paid trips to Washington, D.C. Three sophomores won all-expense paid trips to the Cooperative Youth Conference & Leadership Experience (CYCLE) program in Jefferson City. Hannah McDaniel, a junior at Pattonsburg R-2 High School, has won the Annual Youth Tour to Washington essay contest. Hannah is the daughter of Dave and Dana McDaniel. Placing second in the essay contest was Megan Sayers, the daughter of Rosemary Sayers of Breckenridge. She is a junior at Breckenridge High School. Both Hannah and Megan have won an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. this June. In its 56th year, the annual Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. program is described by many as a once in a lifetime trip. These fortunate high school students represent Farmers’ Electric Cooperative on a whirlwind tour of the nation’s capital. Students tour museums, visit America’s most cherished monuments and even meet their elected officials. All the while they are learning about electric coopera-

tives and their role in the community. The top three sophomore essayists have won a trip to the Cooperative Youth Conference & Leadership Experience (CYCLE) event in Jefferson City this summer. Allison Haley, daughter of Steve and Brenda Haley, won first place. Hallie Jones, daughter of Gabe and Tina Jones, placed second in the contest. Carter Allen, son of Jill Allen, won third place. All three students attend Chillicothe High School. The CYCLE conference is a popular youth leadership event sponsored by the electric cooperatives of Missouri. CYCLE lasts only three days each July. However, for the high school students who attend, it’s three days of learning about electric cooperatives, Missouri government and leadership skills. Along the way, they get to have fun and make new friends, too. Now in its 16th year, the program has grown from 30 attendees to more than 100, with 39 cooperatives across the state sending delegates. A judging committee selected the finalists from essays submitted earlier this year.

Togetherness, in the White family sort of way

1. The one-year-old, 4- and 12year olds are all adopted. They have guardianship of the 14- and 9-year olds. As you can imagine, a house with five young boys can be quite a challenge. “We have to get creative with our consequences,” Kristin says. Kristin is the director of a large early care and education program in St. Joseph. She has an associate degree in early childhood development and is working on her bachelor’s degree at Central Methodist University. Her husband Caleb is a welder. Kristin says she and Caleb were both raised with high expectations. As a means of punishment, their parents spanked and took away privileges — they learned quickly. “Hard work never hurt anyone,” Kristin says. “I work hard everyday at work and in school. If my children choose not to do what they are supposed to at school and at home, then we will make them work hard when it is

their free time.” Her posts on the Northwest Farmers webpage — a popular post for selling farm related equipment, hay, farm animals, farm machinery, etc. — received 111 comments, most of which were positive and encouraging, such as: “It happens to everyone. Ignore the bashers … Hang in there … We’ve gone through the same thing. It will get better … You need a pile of 50 concrete blocks to move back and forth … Nothing wrong with manual labor … You have to do what you have to do … For the people who are bashing this woman. DONT!! She is doing what she thinks is best for her kid … I do the same with my kids … I can teach him to milk and do farm chores too … We did the same kind of thing with our son! It takes time but he has grown into an amazing young man and works his butt off! Keep up the good work! More parents should do this with kids

… Good job, we picked up A LOT of rocks as kids! ... Never give up … Sometimes you think they will never learn, hopefully soon he can turn it around and get it together … My son and his friend had to dig out an old outhouse as teen punishment … A summer buckin’ square bales would sure change a bad attitude … Tried a good ass whoopin’? I personally know they are effective in every case if applied correctly … It is hard to be a good parent, GREAT job … I like to call it cowboy or cowgirl boot camp all my kids have gone through it … It may not be the “modern” way to rear kids in today’s fastpaced world, but it’s this mother’s solution (and apparently many others), and we wish her success and hope her children flourish. “I refuse to let my children be rude and disrespectful; this is how we are choosing to combat it,” Kristin says.
