36 Gallatin FBLA members in ‘Top 10’ as 23 advance to national competition Fifty-two Gallatin FBLA members joined over 5,000 students from across the state in Springfield for the Missouri FBLA State Leadership Conference April 13-16. The students’ main focus was competitive events where they could earn the right to compete at the National Leadership Conference this summer in San Antonio, Texas. Events range from Accounting I to Website Design, with Economics, Public Speaking, and Social Media mixed in between. Overall, FBLA is home to more than 70 events. The Gallatin R-5 High School chapter is under the direction
and support of adviser Mrs. Barb Holcomb. There were several highlights to the conference. GHS senior Sarabeth Michael, a senior at GHS, was selected to sing the national anthem on stage for the opening session. Cyd Terry of Terry Implement Company was recognized on stage as Business Person of the Year. Maddi Michael, a sophomore at GHS, campaigned and won the office for 2019-2020 Missouri FBLA State Secretary. Finally, at the conclusion of the conference the Gallatin FBLA chapter was awarded the statewide spirit gavel for the fifth
consecutive year. Placing in the Top 4 and Advancing to Nationals in San Antonio, Texas: ● Job Interview – 1st Place, Ally Johnson ● Introduction to Parliamentary Procedures – 1st Place, Jenna Rains; 3rd Place, Johnna Tadlock; 4th Place, Caragan Baker ● Electronic Career Portfolio – 2nd Place, Ally Johnson ● Introduction to Business Presentation – 2nd Place, Sarah Morrison, Alli Baker, & Taylor Morrison (continued on page 8)
Property owners warned of code violations; Van Buren Street approved for resurfacing Olivia Prindle, right, and Special Education Paraprofessional Laurie Roll display the portrait done by Laurent Dareau. The print will be kept for an art show scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 1 at GHS, and then Olivia will get to take it home.
Gallatin R-5 student painted by artist in recognition of Autism Awareness Olivia Prindle, a freshman at Gallatin High School, recently had her pictured painted by Laurent Dareau, an award-winning, Frenchborn artist. Dareau, now an American citizen living in Florida, has been involved with many charities, including children’s hospitals, guide dogs for the blind, tributes to 9-1-1, and most recently, in honor of firefighters. Olivia’s painting is in recognition of April as Autism Awareness Month. While Gallatin R-5 Art Teacher Tammy Kliewer was at a FITTEAM training event for her second job in West Palm Beach, FL, she and her team were checking out the local art galleries so Ms. Kliewer could show her R-5 art students the local artwork when she returned to Gallatin. She asked one of the artists, Mr. Dareau, if she could take a picture of his artwork, explaining to him that she was an art teacher. He then told her of his idea to paint people with autism to auction them off for a charity to raise money for Autism Awareness. “I immediately thought of Olivia since she has a passion for art and is very talented,” Ms. Kliewer says. “When I got back from my trip I contacted Olivia’s father and with his approval we worked together with the school yearbook staff to take some wonderful candid shots of Olivia, from which Mr. Dareau created two oil paintings for the Autism Awareness Charity.” Olivia got her first look at the 24x30 painting last Wednesday and was delighted with it. Olivia and her brother Drew both have autism. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States today. Olivia, the daughter of Steven Prindle of Gallatin, also has a sister Elizabeth and a brother Ethan. “Olivia is an excellent artist in her own right,” says Laurie Roll, Special Education Paraprofessional. “She especially likes doing animation and voice-overs.” The Gallatin middle school and high school Spring Art Show and Band Concert is at 6 p.m. on May 1, where you can view a life-size print of Olivia’s oil painting. The artist, Mr. Dareau, donated the print to the Prindle family to thank them for allowing him to paint her, and the two original paintings will be auctioned off at the Autism Aware(continued on page 10)
Work I-35 bridges now underway A project to replace expansion joints and guardrail on two Interstate 35 bridges near Pattonsburg is now underway. Contractors from PCiRoads, LLC., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, planned to begin work on the I-35 Grand River and Grand River
Overflow Bridges on Monday, April 22. Traffic will be narrowed to one lane during the bridge work. The project will continue, Monday through Friday, through late May. All work and schedules are weather permitting.
Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards has been speaking with property owners on code violations. Chief Richards has advised property owners that they should use the upcoming bulk pickup (east side on April 30 and west side on May 1) to assist them in getting into compliance. The department will start issuing summons after May 1 for properties that still have code issues. Discussion was held during the April 22 meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen regarding illegal dumping at the city dump. The only permitted items to be burned at the dump are brush and limbs. The city passed an ordinance to enter into a contract for a street resurfacing project with Herzog Contracting Corporation. East and West Van Buren streets were approved for an estimated cost per ton of $78. Although Daviess Street was the last street discussed, Van Buren Street has always been the highest priority street as it has not had a hot mix in the last two decades. By doing Van Buren, there will be additional money left in the transportation tax to
purchase material for chip and seal of some short stretches on other streets. The city’s strategy is to alternate street resurfacing each year between a north-south route and an east-west route. Since Willow was the north-south route last year, this year was scheduled to be an east-west route. It is likely that Daviess Street will be the north-south route chosen for next year.
An ordinance was approved for the city to enter into a mowing contract with Legendary Lawn Care. Quotes for 45 LED lights and 45 photocells were read and the board approved the FletcherReinhardt bid for $5,186.25. The other bids were from Arkansas Electric Cooperative $5,925; and Boarder States $6,474.60. Quotes for two blowers and (continued on page 3)
Former detention officer sentenced for sexual misconduct while in transport On April 16, Michael Allen Byrd, 29, of Bethany pled guilty and was sentenced to four years in the Department of Corrections on an E felony count of sexual conduct with prisoner by officer of correctional facility. The case was heard by Judge Daren Adkins. While employed as a detention officer at the Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail, Byrd solicited and received oral sex from a 33-year-old prisoner in February 2018, while transporting her to the jail. The act occurred on I-35 on the Highway DD off ramp. Byrd admitted having sexual contact with multiple prisoners in various jurisdictions in an interview, according to the probable cause statement. Byrd faces identical charges in both Caldwell County and Clinton County. In Caldwell County he is scheduled for a plea/ trial setting on June 11 before Judge Ryan Horsman. In Clinton County, he is scheduled for plea/trial setting on May 13.

Toasted I feel like toast. What I mean is that sometimes I have nothing to give — absolutely nothing to say worthy of taking your time and filling this space. I’m tired. Blank. Mired in a funk. Is that what being toasted means? It’s like when I’m ordering a sandwich at Subway and the sandwich artist asks, “You want that heated or toasted?” I take so much for granted. Even when I don’t seem to care, somehow it feels like I ought to. Maybe it’s the crumbs. We leave our toaster out on the counter in defiance of those who harp about cleanliness and decluttering one’s kitchen. I can see whenever it has been moved, though. There’s that tell-tale swath of crumbs. You simply can’t move our toaster without a few scorched crumbs falling out of the bottom — even after we really try hard to clean it to keep up appearances. Writing is like that. Sometimes only a few scorched thoughts fall out of your head and all you’ve got to show for your efforts should be washed away. So, I guess it’s not the toast. Maybe I just feel crumby. O the E itor s S ike Actually, it’s toast that I really like. Eggs easy over on toast, peanut butter and jelly on toast, sausage gravy on toast ... even when you’re sick it’s milk toast. Toast is good! While growing up our household graduated from a traditional pop-up by Darryl Wilkinson toaster to the more suave toasteroven which allows the butter to melt on top of the bread slice being toasted. That’s not only tasty but a way to actually decrease the crumbs that can pile up and get in the way. I know my slice of life is very good, delicious not just with soft butter but with plenty of sugar and cinnamon most of the time. Focusing on crusty crumbs is just a pity party. It’s wrong to imply that messy piles of crumbs only happen to me. Life is about crumbs and what we do with them. We all have crumbs and splotches on our stainless and scorched spots where we’d rather not be scorched. We all wrestle with real issues and problems and wonder if our efforts are enough or even if we matter in the scope of things, forgetting Who is the Bread of Life. While wrestling with such funk I recalled a conversation with a lady facing harsh realities. Her narrative just yesterday was unexpected, spilling out in anger and tears over a husband’s ill health, grown children who don’t care, loneliness, and consequences of decisions past. We visited awhile in her workspace where, to all outward appearances, she performed her tasks like a shiny appliance, cheerily enough for no one to notice the burden she carries. Remembering her now puts things into perspective. Let’s just say I have crumbs, and I know you do, too. Nearly all of my crumbs are inconsequential. They aren’t important in the big scheme. So let’s help each other. I won’t point yours out if you’ll refrain from doing likewise. I hope I haven’t wasted too much of your time in taking this space. Writing this down has helped. It would be better, of course, if we could agree to embrace whatever crumbs of sanity we have and get on to more important things. So, now on to tackling the issue of refolding a road map. This challenge always gives me pause. The longer I travel along in this world, the more I realize how much I need His map. How ‘bout you? We once had a tour guide from Spain who told me, “You know, no one beats up on you Americans like you do on yourselves.” She said that because of her job leading tourists across Europe she had an advantage in that she not only read the world news, but she spent Poosey Digest Favorites her life meeting and getting to imeless musings by Frieda Marie Crump know folks from every corner of the world. “No one tops the Americans when it comes to simple kindness,” she said. “Most travelers end up being very nice acquaintances.

Seeing the effects of tax reform by Congressman Sam Graves
Tax Day came and went again earlier this week, but, this year, many Americans actually did have something to celebrate. Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the federal government kept less of your money and you were able to keep more. More money in the pockets of hard-working North Missourians is a great thing for our country’s economy. That’s why we implemented the most comprehensive tax reform in 30 years. Undoubtedly, it was time to make some changes to ease the tax burden on middle-class families. We cut taxes because we believe that working Americans should keep more of their hardearned money. Taxes were cut across the board with a large majority of Americans receiving a tax cut. We doubled the standard deduction and the child tax credit, oosey as well as who qualified for it, increasing take-home pay for Timeless musings many families. Notfrom only that, but Frieda Marie Crump tax reform made things simpler. On average, taxes went down 25% this year according to a report from H&R Block. Some folks have expressed disappointment that they didn’t receive a larger refund from the IRS. The reality is that most large refunds are the result of the government withholding too much of your hard-earned paycheck. Essentially, many
P

taxpayers are giving the federal government interest-free loans. It’s your money, you should get it when you earn it. The federal government shouldn’t keep it interest-free until the end of tax season. Initially, opponents of tax reform claimed this meant most Americans didn’t receive a tax cut under the new law. This was a lie, unfortunately one that many Americans continue to believe. However, the New York Times
finally admitted what I’ve been saying all along -- most Americans got a tax cut. The results stand for themselves. The economy is booming with wages on the rise, unemployment at record lows and an incredibly strong job market -- all thanks to employers utilizing the pro-growth tax cuts to hand out bonuses, expand operations and hire more employees. Simply put, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is living up to its name.
Same goes for new demographer by State Sen. Dan Hegeman
In November, voters approved “Clean Missouri,” an expansive amendment to the Missouri Constitution that alters many fundamental structures of our state government. Among other things, the measure changes the way state legislative districts are drawn every 10 years, moving our state from a bipartisan, commission-based system to one under the primary control of a single individual: the unelected state demographer. I have many concerns about this new, and unproven, process of legislative redistricting. However, I also recognize and respect that the people have spoken. Going forward, I believe it is the General Assembly’s responsibility to ensure the new redistricting process is instituted in a way that is both fair and transparent. As state lawmakers, we need to clarify the vague details of Clean Missouri to fulfill the will of the voters. That’s why I have sponsored Senate Bill 213. This bill, which was third read and passed by the Senate on March 28, takes many of the anti-corruption aspects Clean Missouri instituted for state lawmakers — such as regulations on lobbying, financial disclosures and public availability of records — and applies them to the new position of state demographer. The measure also creates an online portal for public comments on the redistricting process. I believe these tools will help the state demographer perform his or her job as effectively as possible, while also encouraging everyday Missourians to participate in the drawing of their legislative districts.
Have you ever actually toured our state capitol? by State Rep. J. Eggleston
I am going to take a break from discussing bills that were debated and passed and, instead, mention a few reasons why you might want to visit the capitol building in Jefferson City. I have had the pleasure of visiting nearly 30 state capitols in America, and the art, the history, and the architecture of ours in Jefferson City make it one of the finest I have seen. I recommend examining the busts displayed in the rotunda, which is called the Hall of Famous Missourians. These busts are the heads of well-known people who are from Missouri or spent a significant amount of time in Missouri. The obvious people are displayed like Harry Truman and Mark Twain, but so are several you might not know have Missouri origins like Edwin Hubble (Hubble telescope), Bob Barker (The Price is Right), and Rose Duchesne (founder of kindergar-
ten). And if you photograph the busts of Stan Musial (St. Louis Cardinals) and Emmett Kelly (first face-painted circus clown) with your flash on, the bronze busts will light up in color. Next, I recommend the Thomas Hart Benton mural in the House lounge. Benton painted it by hand in the 1930s. It covers three walls of the room and depicts the history of life in Missouri from the average Missourians’ point of view. The faces of every person in the mural are the faces of actual people Benton knew, and one that was an infant in the painting is still alive today and occasionally visits the capitol. The prettiest room in the building is House of Representatives chamber itself. At the west end is an enormous stained glass window called The Glory of Missouri at Peace, with characters from history, mythology, and the Bible representing agriculture, justice, and honesty.
Along the top are the crests of western states that were established by the explorations that emanated from Missouri like the Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, and Pony Express. Because of these explorations, Missouri is nicknamed The Mother of the West. At the east end is an equally enormous painting called The Glory of Missouri at War. It is a battlefield scene with soldiers wearing uniforms and carrying weapons from the World War I era back to the Revolutionary War. The face of each soldier is the same face, and represents the generic Missourian that has gone into battle to fight for our nation’s freedoms. This painting was painted on canvas in an airplane hanger in France, rolled up and shipped to Jeff City, and then attached to the back wall of the House Chamber. I am told it is the largest painting on canvas in the world. But the most beautiful thing in the capitol has to be the trans-

A word to his advisors: ‘Let Parson be Parson’ by P h i ll B rook s
As the Kansas City Star noted just before the legislature went on its spring break, it’s been a rough beginning for Missouri’s Republican governor. The Republican-controlled House sidelined Mike Parson’s idea for a state bondissue debt to repair bridges. Republicans also have questioned his idea to provide scholarships to low and middle income adults to finance college degrees for better jobs. While that measure cleared the House with support from a majority of Republicans, a sizable block of Republicans voted against the bill including the House Republican leader and the House Budget Committee chair. Another indication of the governor’s legislative disconnect involves the former Revenue Department director, Joel Walters, who mishandled alerting Missourians that their tax refunds would be lower than expected and some would have surprise notices that they owed more money. After harsh legislative committee questioning of Walters, Parson lashed out at his Republican colleagues accusing them of “political grandstanding” in a statement reported by the Post-Dispatch. He stood by his embattled Revenue Department director until the Columbia Tribune reported that Walters had suppressed a
news release that would have provided a clear warning about the tax-refund situation months earlier. Walters announced his resignation the day after that story. Parson’s handling of these issues is a complete opposite of the man I covered when he was in the Missouri Senate. He was a skilled negotiator who could bring together differing sides. He demonstrated that when he built a coalition of animal-rights advocates and livestock farm- by Phill ers to modify the voter- Brooks approved restrictions of “puppy mills” that farmers feared endangered their livelihoods. As a senator, Parson’s door always was open. But his approach has changed since he became governor. I’ve not seen Parson wandering legislative hallways to confer with lawmakers. His access by reporters is brief and tightly constricted. That approach contrasts with the most successful governors I’ve covered who left historic legacies. They were intensely and visibly engaged in the legislative process. Warren Hearnes, Kit Bond, and Mel Carnhanan stand out from their successors who where secretive and some-
Probation offices realignment She plans to be in the Daviess County Probation and Parole Office on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week and in the Bethany office the remainder of the week. “As probation and parole officers, we work with clients to obtain and verify employment, conduct home visits, do drug and alcohol testing, complete referrals for mental health and substance abuse treatment, and assist in scheduling community service hours,” Ms. Worrell says. “We assess our clients often and change their supervision plans based on their always changing needs. There is a lot of paperwork that gets completed to notify both the court system and the parole board as to the progress the clients are making throughout the year.” Ms. Worrell, the mother of three children, Hannah 15, Exie, 6, and Hayes, 3, added that she is excited to work with the folks of Daviess County and welcomes calls from the community with questions or concerns. “It is my hope that the work I do with the people on supervision can help change peoples’
what isolated from the daily workings of the General Assembly. Hearnes actually spent some legislative days sitting in a House member’s office across the hallway from the chamber for legislators and reporters to wander in. From those discussions there was no way Hearnes would be caught off guard by a Revenue Department scandal. From easy-access discussions with legislators and reporters, Parson could have learned there were legitimate questions about Walters’ management of the Revenue Department and his inconsistent responses at legislative committee hearings. Instead, Parson’s access to journalists has become almost as restricted as Eric Greitens. It’s been such a dramatic change in Parson’s approach that I wonder if he’s been over-handled by staff and/or advisers. If so, they are doing him a disservice. They should let Mike Parson be himself. He’s a knowledgeable and engaged public official who should have nothing to fear by becoming more personally involved in the legislative and public policy process. His rural, rancher way of talking rises above political double-speak that im-

fenders once a week or once a month,” Mr. Smith says. “It depends on the risk level and the individual needs.” In the office, parole officers will juggle phone calls from employers and treatment providers and handle appointments throughout the day.

presses me. And when he feels strongly about an issue, he can be among the most inspiring state orators I’ve covered. He demonstrated that when he rose on the Senate floor to become the first Republican to attack fellow Republicans for a demeaning social media attack ridiculing State Auditor Tom Schweich’s physical stature just days before his suicide. So, my advice for the governor would be to throw away the prepared statements of your staff in tightly controlled settings. Instead, be yourself. He knows how to relate with legislators, learn from their perspectives and develop coalitions for success. More importantly, Parson listens and has a rural, relaxed manner that encourages open, blunt conversation. Granted, Parson is facing a conservative dominated legislature not particularly sympathetic to expanding debt for roads or education entitlement benefits. But the Parson I knew in the Senate would have crafted compromises that won support. Maybe that’s what he’s doing behind the scenes. Ed i tor’ s note: Phill B rooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 19 7 0, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for K MOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Jo urnalism.
Parole officers will spend time in the field doing home visits and employment checks. “They’ll make sure everything is going like it should be at the house; they’ll talk to employers to make sure their clients are doing a good job,” Mr. Smith says. “They’ll keep tabs on things going on with the client.” In addition parole officers provide sentence assessment reports for the court. Parole officers conduct investigations for people coming out of prison. They check out home plans before the parolee gets
there to make sure they’re acceptable. Most people on parole toe the line. They attend their treatments and stay employed and pay their bills. “Some people don’t want to follow the rules,” Mr. Smith says. “But the majority do well.” He has been in Probation and Parole for 30 years and seen about everything. “One person one time set his own house on fire and killed his child,” he says. “That was a pretty bad one. That was probably the worst.”
No ‘typical’ day District II Probation and Parole Supervisor Chad Smith says there is no typical day for a probation officer. Things can’t be too typical when all of your clients have a criminal history. “Too many things happen to throw off your day,” he says.

All community colleges offering at least one online associate degree were considered eligible for rankings. This ranking highlights the schools whose students are most likely to earn a degree.

The next deadline for Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) applications to be considered for funding this year is May 10. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest up to $700 million for new enrollments and contract extensions in fiscal year 2019. The 2018 Farm Bill made several changes to CSP, which helps farmers and ranchers take their conservation activities to the next level. “CSP is an effective tool for private landowners working to achieve their conservation and management goals,” Missouri State Conservationist J.R. Flores said. “It is a popular conservation program. Missouri farmers previously have enrolled more than 3.4 million acres of productive agricultural and forest land.” CSP applications are accepted throughout the year, but only those submitted at local NRCS offices by May 10 will be considered for 2019 funding. The 2018 Farm Bill authorizes NRCS to accept new CSP enrollments from now until 2023, and it makes some important improvements to the program. These updates include: • NRCS now enrolls eligible, high ranking applications based on dollars rather than acres. For fiscal year 2019, NRCS can spend up to $700 million in the program, which covers part of the cost for producers implementing new conservation activities and maintaining their existing activities. • Higher payment rates are
now available for certain conservation activities, including cover crops and resource-conserving crop rotations. • CSP now provides specific support for organic and for transitioning-to-organic production activities, as well as a special grassland-conservation initiative for certain farmers who have maintained cropland base acres. • CSP provides many benefits including increased crop yields, decreased inputs, wildlife habitat improvements and increased resilience to weather extremes. CSP is for working lands including cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe. NRCS offices can be found in the phone book under “U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture,” or online at http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/ app.

RECORD
April 24, 2019
Habeas corpus hearing underway here A habeas corpus hearing is underway in Daviess County Circuit Court through Friday, on a case originating in Jackson County in 2015. Plaintiff Rick L. Kidd filed a writ of habeas corpus in DeKalb County where he is incarcerated at Crossroads Correctional Center. The case is being heard by Judge Daren Adkins. Kidd has spent the last 20 years trying to prove his innocence from inside prison walls. He is presently serving life without possibility of parole for two counts of first degree murder. He was convicted in 1997. A writ of habeas corpus gives a court the power to release a prisoner after the prisoner has been processed through the criminal justice system with all its procedural safeguards and appeals. Barring appeal, Judge Adkins will have the final decision on whether Kidd will remain incarcerated or be freed. The case is attracting broad interest and is being followed by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) as well as other media. You can read more about the case on the Missouri Innocence Project website.

Kirksville woman found unresponsive on I-35 ramp
Brenda King of Kirksville was charged April 20 with possession of controlled substance, D felony, and misdemeanors of DWI, drug paraphernalia, no valid license, and failure to place vehicle as near right hand side of highway as practicable. According to the probable cause statement, King’s vehicle was reported to be sitting in the middle of the ramp to I-35 at the 61 mile marker in Daviess County on April 19. King was unresponsive in the driver’s seat. After attempting to communicate with her, officers then broke the passenger side window. She was holding a metal marijuana pipe in her hand, and a strong marijuana odor emanated from the vehicle. EMS arrived and rendered aid, and she was transported to the Cameron Regional Medical Center. A search of the vehicle revealed a baggie with a crystal like substance consistent with methamphetamine. King has at least one felony conviction for a drug related violation in Adair County in 2017. Her driver’s license expired in 2013.

Tri-County/Gallatin gives up tiebreaker in Tuesday’s 8-7 loss to King City/Union Star The King City/Union Star Wildkats broke a 7-7 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning to take an 8-7 victory over TriCounty/Gallatin on Tuesday. The Mustangs led, 3-2, after a 3-run fifth inning but the home Wildkats tied the game with a run in the bottom of the frame before taking a 7-3 lead later in the sixth. Tri-County scored four times in the top of the seventh to knot the score before the Wildkats cashed in with one in their final at bat. Nate Baker, Gage Wright, Morgan McBroom and Drayton Harris each had a hit for the Mustangs, who received runs from the previously mentioned four, plus Klayton Lynch and Brinley Vandiver (2). King City also won the junior varsity game, 6-0. The Mustangs barely battled once through the lineup during a 24-0 loss to Maysville last Thursday. The Wolverines battered Tri-County pitching for 19 runs in the second inning on their way to a 3-inning victory. Wright produced the lone Mustang hit. Vandiver reached first base on a walk. The Mustangs will take on Mercer/Princeton tomorrow (Thursday) in Jamesport.

In the middle of Proverbs chapter 17 there is an odd little question. Verse 16 asks, “Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?” (NIV) The NASU asks it a different way, “Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, when he has no sense?” I look around and I see vast amounts of resources being wasted. I see genuine fools with so little money that they stand in line at food pantries, and yet they smoke and drink up what little money they have. I see other real-life fools who have been blessed and/or worked hard to get ahead in life, and even though they have the resources to do much good in life, they waste it all on their own selfish pleasures. Those pleasures will indeed be fleeting. Rather than wasting their blessings, they could have converted them into eternal rewards stored up for themselves. I am tempted to cry out, “Why?” Certainly, I have no right to question God. My thoughts are much lower than His. My wisdom is less than foolishness compared to His wisdom. The resources in question do not belong to me. Those same resources don't belong to the lazy fool or to the hardworking fool. Those resources belong to Almighty God. He alone has the right to distribute them as He sees fit. There is another truth to consider. Really and truly, it's not a settled fact that I am wise enough to even discern a fool from a wise man. That presents a dilemma for me and other believers in Christ. We are called to be wise stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. We are commanded to aid the needy. We are commanded to spread the good news about Christ around the world. God has given us limited, not unlimited resources. Thus, we are forced to make decisions about how to use these limited resources for taking care of ourselves, aiding others, and furthering God's kingdom. Sometimes we directly give resources to the needy because we know them personally. Sometimes we give to benevolent organizations because we know the organization, trusting them to use the resources wisely. Sometimes we directly use our resources to share Christ personally. Sometimes we give to evangelistic organizations because we know the organization and trust them to use those resources wisely. We are acting wisely when we get to know the organizations we give to. Making sure that our number one goal is to bring glory to God, is a great safeguard in this area. We can never be sure what the results will be, but we can do our best to distribute wisely. As a believer in Christ, you are commanded to share the blessing with which you have been blessed. Take that responsibility seriously. Share. Do your best to become personally familiar with those whom you share. Money is not the only resource you have been blessed with. Share some of your time and talents as well. A person with sense, a wise person, would not waste time and money on fleeting pleasures when he or she could be storing up rewards in heaven that could be enjoyed eternally. A person with sense, a wise person, would not hoard unnecessary resources that will ultimately pass away, when they could instead use them for the glory of God. The money you have is a gift from God. Of what use is the money in your hand?

Help “bee-friend” native pollinators by planting flowers

Spring and summer months bring both the buzz of lawnmowers and bees. These fuzzy flyers are important pollinators, playing a crucial role in the production of many favorite fruits and vegetables. “Missouri is home to around 450 species of native bees, but it’s not uncommon for more to be identified each year,” said Urban Wildlife Biologist Erin Shank. “There are several common bees Missourians will encoun-M ter, including the bumblebee, carpenter bees, sweat bees, and the leafcutter bee.” Most native bees only live Offer good about one thru year. emerge in Oct.

The bucks stop here: Deterrents for when deer dearly love your plants Deer might be lovely animals, but not when grazing on freshly sprung tulips or hostas. And tree lovers fear antler rubs on trees and shrubs. M “Unfortunately, there are few simple solutions to prevent deer damage without eliminating deer completely,” says University of Missouri Extension horticulturist Jennifer Schutter. But take heart, deer and plant lovers. The two can coexist with an integrated pest management approach. This includes monitoring deer pressure and using fencing, repellents and deer-resistant plants. Deer seek plants rich in protein, especially in spring and summer, to help them recover from winter. They like moist, tender plant parts such as buds, new leaves and immature stems. Schutter offers these tips to avoid deer in your landscape: - Be flexible when choosing plants. Like people, deer have different tastes in food. Look for plants labeled as “deer-resistant.” - Choose plants with rough textures. Deer do not like the texture of rough, hairy, prickly and spiny plants. Deer also dislike the texture of some viburnums, oakleaf hydrangea, lamb’s ear,

native bees. Shank said the best way is to get floral. “It’s all about the flowers,” Shank stressed. “Provide native companion plants, and especially those with colorful blossoms, because color attracts bees.” Companion planting, in which one plant helps the growth of another, can help facilitate the pollination of fruits and vegetables. For example, planting bee balm can help pollinate tomatoes, peppers, and em eggplant. me eOther examples of flowering companion plants include sunflowers, wild hyacinth, blue wild indigo, purple prairie clover, and common milkweed.

Julia Wideman’s new book “Seasons Under Heaven:
A Legacy of Faith” will have its first signing from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Grant City Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. Julia and her husband Donald Moore, son of Trudi Burton of Gallatin, had just begun a new journey in their life together when something life-changing happened that they didn’t expect and couldn’t have planned for. Donald was diagnosed with cancer. He would graduate from seminary school despite his illness. But he would never get to fulfill his dream of preaching. Donald passed away in 2006. He left Julia a young widow with five small children. After his death, Julia and her family were faced with devastating grief. Julia found comfort by writing down her story in a blog on a Christian website and sharing it with other bereaved widows. She hopes, for them, her story will prove a saving grace.

Julia recalls the moment: “The doctor came in with a nurse as a witness, threw Don’s chart on the table, crossed her arms, rolled her chair back and said, ‘I make mistakes, you make mistakes, we all make mistakes and a mistake has been made.’” The “mistake” was a misdiagnosis. Donald had never actually been cancer free. In fact, his cancer had four months of unchecked growth. “I knew I had to be mentally present in that moment and deal with emotions later,” Julia says. She had enough presence of mind to take notes on a yellow legal pad, notes that were anything but encouraging … 50/50 chance of survival … possible bone marrow transplant … treatment plan … disability … he’ll be too sick to work … “After talking to the doctor, I remember walking into the parking lot and feeling the oppression of the heat and our hearts,” Julia says. “Donald slammed his fist on the

The Bible says “God is husband to the widow.” She would learn over time what that meant. “I started praying and my prayers were very specific,” Julia says. “I prayed about a job to support my family, about a house, and about a husband. I was 34 at the time and I didn’t want to be alone.”
Soon after, in 2008, Julia got a job teaching English at Worth County R-III school, but she still didn’t have a permanent home. One night in January 2008, she was reading her Bible when God spoke quietly to her and told her to read Jeremiah 29. Jeremiah 1-4 talks about being exiled in Babylon. “I was exiled in Denver, Missouri,” Julia says. “It was 12 miles for gas and groceries, and long distance anywhere you called.” But God placed Jeremiah 29:5 on Julia’s heart as a promise for a new home. Soon after, a member of Missouri Baptist Builders contacted her. If she could provide the land and materials, they could build her and the kids a house. In 2008, the builders broke ground. People from all over Iowa and Missouri helped put it together and by 2009 she was in a beautiful new home. Now, about the husband. Specifically, Julia had prayed for a good Christian man, who wouldn’t mind a large family, who wasn’t married but wanted to be and (here’s the funny part) who lived in Worth County but wasn’t related to her. In 2010 Julia ran for circuit clerk of Worth County. She wanted a job where she wasn’t overwhelmed with kids. She canvassed the county drumming up votes. She came to an address where the plat map read: A bachelor lives here. She would find out later that after the other children moved away, “the bachelor” stayed home and cared for his father who had cancer, and then for his widowed mother. She pulled into the driveway. The bachelor (Mike Wideman) was mowing the front yard with a sickle bar mower and a tractor. She gave him some brochures and that was that. She canvassed again. He was home again. Later, he sent a card wishing her good luck with the election. Not to her. To her mother, who was the county assessor. Julia lost the election. He kept sending cards. To her through her mother. He was her biggest supporter so she took him cinnamon rolls in December. On Valentine’s day of 2011, he went to her house to deliver roses and chocolates. “It was Valentine’s day that Donald was told his cancer had come back,” she says. “In a way the day marks the anniversary of his death.” But this wasn’t a sad Valentine’s day. The bachelor told her he’d like to call on her that spring when he got done calving.
New book shares life journey from broken to healing hearts by T.L. Huffman, North Missourian staff writer
Donald and Julia married in 1994 and moved to Iowa, where they lived, worked, and started their family. In 2001, Donald responded to God’s call to join the ministry. Their church family was not surprised to hear it; Donald loved the lord and studied his Bible. After the birth of their fourth child in 2002, the family moved to Kansas City Midwest Baptist Theological Seminary. In 2003, they transferred to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Both Donald and Julia were supporters of public education; both had educational degrees. Yet, when they got to Texas, they were moved to start home schooling their children. That fall Donald started getting sick. It was a puzzle, since before seminary school he’d had a full physical which showed him in excellent health. Shortly after their fifth child was born, the family car was totaled in an accident. Shortly after that, Donald was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. That began their cancer journey. “We felt God was allowing us to go through this, to make us better people when we came through it,” Julia says. “We had full faith God was going to heal him.” That seemed to be the case when Donald, after going through chemo treatments, was pronounced cancer free in 2004. On Valentine’s Day 2005 Donald and Julia had hired a babysitter and were ready to go out to celebrate. They got a call from the doctor.

A lthough he appears healthy, it took a great -
dash. We were so mad, so hurt. How could they make a mistake like that?” Julia says that sometimes God speaks quietly to her. On this occasion, after she settled down, and was driving away from the hospital, God told her: You didn’t know about this, Donald didn’t know, the doctors didn’t know, but I’ve known all along. “My anger, my grief was suddenly directed at God, I was so mad,” Julia says. “We thought all along that God was just ‘allowing’ this. Now we had to move to this being part of his active will, and boy I didn’t like that.” Donald, who had been full-time at the seminary, continued on there as before. The five children being home schooled worked out to be a blessing. “Everybody was at home during his treatments, and that saved us so much trouble,” Julia says. Donald was sent to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas, a well known cancer hospital. May of 2005 brought a ray of hope. Donald’s sister Kim was a perfect bone marrow match. Then came the clouds; the second round of cancer treatments weren’t working. A friend gave them a diet book. It made no real health claims … “But we were willing to try anything, so we decided to try this,” Julia says. They left Houston about the same time Hurricane Katrina struck. The only good that came of that was that the house they’d been given to use was moved into by a family left homeless by the hurricane. Donald finished his classes at seminary and graduated in December 2005. “We weren’t sure then where to go or what to do,” says Julia. “We were in a holding pattern.” Donald went back to the medical clinic. Tests said cancer was prevalent throughout his body. The doctors gave him six months. They decided to move back to Missouri to be close to both their families and have help with the children, who were now aged 11, 9, 8, 4 and 2. Julia’s mother and Don’s mother came to Texas and moved the kids back.
The move back to Missouri for Julia and Donald was disastrous with a van breakdown and a borrowed van breakdown. The children at home had their own dramas, a broken toe, poison ivy, broken glasses … They took it with their usual sense of humor and eventually made it home. Donald got to see the kids, the farm, the house. On Aug. 14, 2006, he passed away. “The moment he passed and I stepped away from his bed, I felt peace,” says Julia. “I felt half of me go. That piece of Donald’s soul that was knit to me was gone. And God said to me: The marriage covenant is complete.” That formal phrasing was something Julia would never have come up with herself. But upon reflection, she understood that God was talking about the marriage vows she and Donald had taken 12 years earlier: … to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part … Julia says, “God was telling me I’d done my job, I’d kept my promise.” It was at this point, Julia began to write her book about her journey into widowhood, a single parent of five young children. She began to write an online blog, ministering to other young widows.
They were married on August 4.
Was he “specifically” the husband she’d prayed for? Well, he was one of seven children, so he didn’t mind a big family. He was a good Christian. And she wasn’t related to him. Julia will launch sale of her new book “Seasons Under Heaven: A Legacy of Faith” from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Grant City Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. The first 50 books will be available for free, first come, first serve, one per household. Julia will be on hand to share a reading and sign books.
