junction with the invitational show to Daviess County only FFA and 4-H members. Last year 147 exhibitors showed 419 animals. There were 59 head of cattle, 68 head of sheep, 76 head of goats, 56 rabbits, 39 poultry and waterfowl, and 121 head of swine. New to this year’s show is the return of a dog show on Friday evening. This part of the show will be held on the archery range at the park at 6 p.m. Amanda King will head this event as superintendent. Concessions will be open daily, serving grilled pork burgers, hamburgers, pulled pork, hotdogs and walking tacos. Biscuits and gravy will be served Friday morning along with homemade cinnamon rolls. Admission to the livestock show is free.
150 years since the James Boys hit here On Dec. 7, 1869, between noon and 1 p.m., two men entered the office of the Daviess County Savings Association. One of them asked the cashier, Captain John W. Sheets, to change a hundred dollar bill. Cashier Sheets went into the back room to get the money, when he was shot. Hearing the shot, Mr. McDowell, the only other person in the bank, turned quickly and was immediately covered. He managed however to get out of the door and gave the alarm, although pursued by one of the bandits who shot at him several times. Hastily gathering up what funds they could get quickly, they mounted their horses and rode
away, closely pursued by citizens who had heard the alarm. They managed to escape. One of the horses escaped and it was afterwards proved that it had at one time been the property of Jesse James. In a letter to Gov. McClurg, dated June, 1870, Jesse James stoutly denied that he had anything to do with the robbery and murder, and said that while the horse captured had belonged to him, he had sold it prior to this time. A number of people testified that they had seen him at other places during the time of the robbery . On the night of July 15, 1881, the Rock Island train was robbed
by seven men, who boarded the train at Winston, and began work as soon as they were out of town. When the order of “Everybody down” was not obeyed by Conductor Westfall, he was promptly shot down. Other shots were fired, Frank McMillan also being killed. Two of the men took charge of the engine, while others entered the baggage car and forced the messenger to open the safe. The amount secured was estimated from $3,000 to $15,000. Again the James gang was suspected of the robbery and murder, but again nothing could be proved.

Gallatin FBLA members compete at NLC in San Antonio; Essie Williamson is a national finalist in Public Speaking Twenty-one Gallatin FBLA members traveled to San Antonio, TX, for the FBLA-PBL National Leadership Conference (NLC) held June 28-July 2. The NLC is the pinnacle of the year, with over 15,000 attendees and 140 competitive events. Attending students qualified after competing at the State Leadership Conference in Springfield in April. Student competitive events have top-
ics ranging from Accounting to Marketing, Website Development to Personal Finance. All competitive events are aligned to the standards taught in Missouri classrooms, allowing for an intra-curricular experience to showcase skills taught. Essie Williamson, a 2019 senior at Gallatin High School, advanced to the final round in Public Speaking. From over 150 preliminary participants, the field
was narrowed to only 15 national finalists who presented their 5-minute prepared speech over leadership and the national goals of FBLA to a panel of judges and a room of spectators. Barb Holcomb, Gallatin’s chapter adviser, stated, “Essie is a gifted public speaker and she proudly continued Gallatin FBLA’s tradition of advancing to finals in the Public Speaking competition. Es-

OPINION
July 10, 2019
We all pay
Do you remember when drivers’ ed was a class offered while you attended high school? My instructor was also our assistant football coach. He took the time to know his players, so he knew my family drove dump trucks in a rock quarry operation. I was too young to realize he relaxed the standards when it came my turn to practice driving until the day we approached a big curve on Route OO southwest of Odessa. He simply balanced his cup of iced Coke on his thigh without saying a word. It was full nearly to the brim without any cup cover and he seemed to be conducting some sort of hands off experiment. Luckily, the road was smooth and the speed I happened to choose allowed us to navigate the entire curve without coach spilling a drop. And that was it. I not only passed the class but my straight “A” qualified for an insurance discount when I finally got my driver’s license. That was my introduction relating actual driving to insurance cost. What goes through your mind whenever you unexpectedly realize the vehicle you’re driving is being observed by a patrol car? If we’re honest, most of us only relax when the officer has already stopped someone else. Some of us traveling over the July 4th holiday may now personally realize how the consequences of a traffic ticket varies greatly from state to state. The real impact is not paying the fine but rather paying for car insurance. Did you know, for Off the Editor’s Spike... example, a Pennsylvania driver could pay 13% more for insurance after getting a speeding ticket, while a North Carolina driver could pay 48% more for the same offense? While cruising the internet recently, I happened across a website by Darryl Wilkinson that presents research detailing just Here’s some common tickets how much auto insurance costs go up and how much they’ll raise car annually, depending on which ticket insurance rates annually in Mis- you get in Missouri specifically.

(That’s a 59% increase The comparisons are profiled for a in average annual premium for Missouri residents!) 30-year-old single male driving a 2014 Honda Accord EX with a good driving history and “normal” coverage ($50,000 bodily injury liability, $100,000 liability per accident, $50,000 property damage liability). Then driver’s history was changed to include violations in order to obtain rate differences. The traffic violation with the single biggest impact on car insurance rates is leaving the scene of an accident — a “hit and run.” Drivers charged with this crime can expect to pay on average 82% (or $1,200+) more per year for car insurance. Getting a ticket for a driving violation can raise your car insurance rate no matter where you live, but the additional costs vary dramatically across state lines. For example, a drunk or drugged driving violation (DUI) can increase rates 181% ($3,200+) in California, while in Indiana the same offense raises rates only 42% ($480+). Why? It all comes down to differences in risk, and how insurance is rated and regulated from state to state. It’s important to remember that some insurance companies may assign lower penalties — or none at all — even in states where drivers tend to see steep cost spikes for violations, so it’s always important to compare insurance quotes. Insurance penalties after a violation differ from company to company. How heavily you’re penalized for a traffic ticket differs from one insurance company to the next, just like it differs from state to state. While most insurers increase rates for drivers with violations, some may charge you less than others. The comparisons are exhaustive. But one single conclusion quickly becomes apparent. Don’t feel lucky as you drive by some unlucky guy stopped by a patrolman who’s writing a ticket. The traffic fine for speeding or forgetting to use your turn signal isn’t the only price paid for breaking the rules of the road. We all pay.
Coffee Shop Talk
Hello folks! Thanks for reading the July issue of Coffee Shop Talk. Daviess County ended the month of June with 6.09 inches of rainfall, just over the normal at 5.41 inches. Wheat harvest seems to be wrapping up and from what we have heard from local farmers, yields were average or above. All the extreme weather we’ve experienced this spring has made planting season quite a challenge this year. I want to remind everyone that as you finish planting to stop by and make an acreage report to our office by July 15! Farms not reported by July 15 will be assessed a late file fee of $46 per farm. No appointments needed in Gallatin, just stop on by! However, a phone call is appreciated as it helps us prepare your maps and gather your files beforehand. CRP is eligible to start managed haying or grazing on July 16. Managed haying and grazing will be available as normal, and applies only to contracts with CP1, CP2, CP4D and CP10 acres. Guidelines for managed haying and grazing include: • Can be hayed every third year or can be grazed every other year, but not both • Haying and grazing dates are July 16-Sept. 30. Hay bales must be removed by Oct. 30 • 25% payment reduction for each acre of CRP contract hayed or grazed for all farmers • Managed grazing is free for
Expanding access to broadband
by State Sen. Dan Hegeman
The 12th Senatorial District covers a large area of northwest Missouri that encompasses many rural communities. As your senator, I have been a strong champion of increasing access to high-speed broadband internet in our region. By securing broadband internet access, we can prepare our small towns to meet the needs of tomorrow’s economy. Not only is access to broadband internet increasingly becoming a necessity, I also believe it represents a great opportunity to grow and enhance rural communities. Big cities often drive the economy, providing the larg-

est number of jobs with the highest salaries. Not everyone wants to live and raise a family in a denselypopulated urban environment. But with high-speed internet, small towns have the chance to be the best of both worlds: great places to work and live affordably, but also places that are attractive to employers who allow workers to “telecommute” in lieu of always traveling to a centralized workplace. I am happy to report some good news. In May, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized a $22 million grant for the purpose of providing high-speed internet access to 13 different Missouri counties, inOffering
cluding six in the 12th Senatorial District: Andrew, Clay, Clinton, DeKalb, Gentry and Nodaway. This is in addition to a $176 million multi-state grant approved by the FCC in August. Together, these two grants are estimated to provide thousands of Missouri homes with broadband internet access over the course of the next 10 years. The State of Missouri added to this effort of bringing broadband to rural Missouri by including Governor Parson’s recommendation of $5 million in the 20192020 budget. This is intended to assist in supporting this expansion by bridging any gaps in the Federal and local funding.

KCP&L requests increase 54 cents KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (GMO), which provides electric service to 323,470 customers in Missouri, including Daviess County, has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to adjust the fuel adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers. According to the filings, a residential customer using 1,000 kWh a month will see the monthly FAC charge increase from approximately $4.92 a month to approximately $5.46 a month, an increase of approximately $0.54 a month. The proposed change would take effect in September. GMO has made two filings. In its first filing (Case No. ER2019-0413), GMO proposes to adjust the FAC to reflect fuel and purchased power costs for the six month period of December 2018 through May 2019. The second case is GMO’s true-up filing (Case No. ER-2019-0414). Applications to intervene and participate in these cases must be filed no later than July 17, 2019, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O.

Picky toddlers OK: Keys to building healthy eating habits By Anna Barlow RD, LD, IBCLC, Daviess County Health Department
One of the concerns I hear from many parents is whether or not their child is eating enough. It is a natural instinct to nurture our children. This often results in the desire for them to eat more. Babies tend to eat well. Then, the toddler often becomes pickier and the concerns begin. The good news is it is very normal Anna Barlow for toddlers to skip meals. It is our job as caregivers to offer children healthful choices and it is the responsibility of the child to decide how much they will eat. This can be worrisome for some parents. Once these responsibilities are established, meal time struggles may be avoided, or at least occur less often. Parents are responsible for what the child eats. They should choose, prepare and provide the food. It is their responsibility to choose healthful and
nutritious food, most of the time. A few options can be provided for kids. This allows them to make a good choice and still feel involved. However, giving a child free rein to choose exactly what they would like to eat, may lead to picky eating. Many parents have become short order cooks to accommodate picky eating. This doesn’t do the child any favors. With the exception of children with developmental concerns or sensory issues, many picky eaters can outgrow this phase. At meals, a variety of food should be provided and include a component the child will eat. It is acceptable for parents to offer the food, encourage the child to sit at the table and allow them to refuse the foods. If the child is hungry later, the same food may be offered. Parents are also responsible for the when and where of feeding. Providing regularly scheduled meals and snacks allows kids to avoid being overly hungry or full at meal times. A pleasant and encouraging eating environment should be provided during meals, ideally with the family meal at a
table without distractions from televisions or phones. Positive pressure, though it may seem helpful, such as praising, rewarding and talking about how good a food is or nutritious it is, should be avoided. The same with negative pressure, including punishing, bribing and talking about foods that are unhealthy or foods that individuals don’t like. Pressure is anything done by the parents to get their kids to eat more or less of a food. The child’s job is eating, or not. They are responsible for how much they eat. Parents provide the food and the children determine if they want to eat, and will eat the amount they need. Kids may eat very little to none at one meal or go back for seconds or thirds during another meal. This is perfectly fine, as long as the structure of regular meal and snack times is maintained. Kids are less prone to overeating and tend to be more in tune to their hunger. They are the only ones who know if they need to eat. Maintaining the proper roles may help to ensure children learn to listen to their bodies, avoid mealtime struggles and encourage independence.
are used. Stem tips are perhaps the easiest. With this method, the end of the stem, including the terminal bud, along with a few leaves is used. The stem should be 3-4 inches. Remove the leaves most distant from the terminal bud, making sure at least a few leaves are left. Then dip the end where the roots will grow in rooting compound, which is a plant hormone. Moisten the rooting medium, place the stem in the medium, and place everything in plastic wrap to conserve moisture. However, do not put it in direct sunlight. After rooting, you will have a small plant with a good root system, ready to transplant. The important thing to remember is not to let it dry out. Keep it moist, but not too wet, since you do not want fungal diseases to develop. This is true for the other types of cuttings that I mentioned. Layering is another way of propagating plants. Some plants, such as brambles, do this naturally. Here, you encourage rooting on a stem while the stem is still attached to the mother plant. Types of layering include simple, air, tip, and compound. Simple layering, sometimes called trench layering, is easy. Bend a branch to the ground and
cover it with several inches of soil. Be sure that the tip of the branch extends above ground level. Make sure everything remains moist, and eventually new roots will form along the branch. Sometimes wounding may speed up the process. The last method I will mention this week is division. Here, you are cutting or pulling apart the appropriate plant structure to produce new plants. This works best for some herbaceous perennial plants. The parts of the plants used may include crowns, bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers, stolons, or suckers. If you have ever grown irises or day lilies, and needed to move them, you are probably familiar with this process. If they don’t break apart easily after you dig them up, you can cut them into more manageable sizes with a knife. Next column, I will cover plant propagation methods which require a bit more skill.: grafting, budding, and tissue culture.
Plant propagation methods — copies through cloning This image of a bull elk was taken at Peck Ranch Conservation Area in the Missouri Ozarks. MDC is proposing the framework for a limited elk hunting season and is asking for public comments at short.mdc. mo.gov/Z49.
Initial plan announced for Missouri elk hunting if criteria for plan met The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shared its initial plan for a limited elk-hunting season with the Missouri Conservation Commission at the Commission’s public meeting June 28 at MDC headquarters in Jefferson City. The Commission gave its initial approval of the proposed plan, and MDC is asking for public comments. According to MDC Elk and Deer Biologist Aaron Hildreth, who presented the elk-hunting plan at the meeting, MDC will begin offering a limited season for hunting elk once the herd of about 175 animals reaches a minimum of 200 with an annual herd growth rate of at least 10 percent and a herd ratio of at least four cow elk for every bull elk. According to MDC research, the herd will likely reach 200 animals by 2020. With that in mind, MDC has designated a nine-day archery season for elk running Oct. 17-25, 2020, and a nine-day firearms season for elk running Dec. 12-20, 2020. Hildreth noted that the number of permits for a possible 2020 hunt has yet to be determined. “If the elk population is below desired numbers in early 2020, the Conservation Commission may choose to not open the online application process or issue any permits for a fall 2020 hunt,” he explained. “We will then focus on 2021.” MDC hopes to eventually reach a target population of 500 animals and will use hunting to manage herd size and location. Hunting Framework Under MDC’s framework, elk hunting would be limited to Missouri residents at least 11 years of age who have their hunter-education certification or are exempt from hunter education by age (born before Jan. 1, 1967). Hunting permits would be assigned through a random lottery of all applicants. MDC will
require a $10 application fee to be eligible for the limited hunt with a $50 permit fee for those selected through the lottery. MDC will limit the random lottery to one application per-person, per-year with a 10-year “sit-out” period for those drawn for a permit before they may apply again. The hunting zone will be limited to Carter, Reynolds, and Shannon counties, but will exclude the special refuge portion of Peck Ranch Conservation Area where elk were initially reintroduced. The timing of the seasons was designed to avoid the peak of elk breeding during late September and early October and to avoid the elk season coinciding with portions of the firearms deer season. Local Landowners Included According to MDC, local landowners have been supportive of the reintroduction of elk to the area and local communities have benefited from an increase in tourism related to elk. MDC will reserve at least one permit from the annual random lottery for resident landowners with at least 20 acres within a specified boundary within Carter, Reynolds, and Shannon counties. The special landowner permits will be nontransferable and may only be filled on the landowner’s property. Public Comments, Next Steps MDC held several public meetings in communities around the elk restoration zone last December where staff discussed possible elk-hunting details. MDC also offered a statewide online comment period. As part of the rulemaking process, MDC is now again asking for public comment on the proposed elk-hunting framework through Aug. 31 at short.mdc. mo.gov/Z49. Refer to the following specific rules open for comment.
By Tim Baker, MU horticulture specialist
In my last column, I started a series on plant propagation, discussing seed production. This week I will cover some of the methods of vegetative propagation, sometimes referred to as cloning. The reason we refer to them as “clones” is that they are exact genetic copies of the plant you are trying to re- Tim Baker produce. This is especially useful for plants that do not produce viable seeds. It also usually results in a mature plant more quickly than growing from seeds. I will be describing several methods of vegetative propagation, but remember that not all plants can be propagated using any methods. Experience has shown that some methods work better than others for a given plant. The first method I will mention is using cuttings. Here you are taking part of the plant, and inducing roots to form. Typically leaves, stem tips, buds, or stems

July 8, 2009 Gallatin R-5 High School sent nine FBLA members to attend the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA. Members who represented the local chapter were Wren Tolen, Phillip Arnold, Jamie Brinnen, Carly Boyd and Taylor Sheldon in Parliamentary Procedures; Courtney Ray in Business Calculations; Cameron King in Personal Finance; and Breanne Brammer in Introduction to Parliamentary Procedures. Kaddie Mott and Phillip Arnold received their America Award, the highest award given to any FBLA member. Sierra Rainey, a senior at Gallatin High School, was among the 100 students selected for participation in the University of Missouri School of Medicine’s High School Mini Medical School. Sierra is the daughter of Renay Rainey of Gallatin and Jay Rainey of Jamesport. The program is designed to give high school seniors who are already interested in medical careers a one-week preview of medical school. July 14, 1999 Deanna Lewis began her duties as the new administrator at the Daviess County Senior Citizens Center on July 12. Mrs. Lewis was born and raised at Conception Junction, where she graduated from Jefferson High School. Mrs. Lewis lives in Winston where her husband, Eric, is a social studies teacher and coach at Winston R-6 High School. They have a five-monthold son, Craig. Local youth participating in the 1999 National Junior Shorthorn Show were Casey Alden, Tyler Alden, Jalayne Alden, Jamie Tummons, Maggie Alden, Levi Alden, Jo Ann Tummons, Heather Adams and Julie White. Jo Ann was selected as Missouri Shorthorn Queen. July 12, 1989 This weekend the members of the Daviess County Country Club officially unveiled the new nine-hole grass greens golf course with special ceremonies and open house on Sunday. The ceremony caps an $89,000 improvement project. The emphasis on Adam-Ondi-Ahman these days is on the creation of a pristine wilderness area and the project manager, Don Calder, told Rotarians Tuesday at the tea room he is pleased he and his wife have been assigned a work mission close to a community as congenial and friendly as Gallatin. July 11, 1979 The Treasury Department says “Happiness is a dollar that won’t blow away,” but Daviess County bankers predict a short life for the new Susan B. Anthony dollar coins now in use for general exchange. A total of
$500 million new Anthony dollars were minted and available for release on July 2. Two Gallatin R-5 alumni were among the 10 Northwest Missouri State University runners who set a new Missouri 24-hour relay record July 7 as a fundraiser for the Olympic Fund. Brothers Greg and Mark Frost, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Frost, were a part of the group running 277 miles and 488 yards. The previous record was set in 1972 at 274 miles and 1,471 yards. July 10, 1969 New officers and directors have taken the helm of the Gallatin Lions Club for the 196970 club year. They are: Gerald Blaine, president; Noble Young, Arnold Tolen, Robert Teegarden, J. Russell Herbert, Frank Thompson and Jewell Swofford, directors; Noble Young, Jerry Frost and Larry Richards, vice presidents; Jean Taylor, secretary; Raymond Wade, treasurer; Kenneth Kordes, Lion Tamer; and Covel Searcy, Tail Twister. There was a water show at Lake Viking July 4 but it was a well kept secret and a relatively small crowd was on hand to witness it. The lake has now grown to about 250 acres. July 8, 1959 The Alva Heldenbrand family was chosen by the County Extension Council to represent Daviess County at the 1959 Missouri State Fair. The Heldenbrands have three sons, Buddy, 16, Bill, 12, and Dale, 6. Their farm, located six miles south of Winston, consists of 160 acres. Tuesday only, July 14 is Band Mothers Benefit Show at the Courter Theatre in Gallatin. Showing will be “By the Light of the Silvery Moon,” starring Doris Day and Gordon McRae. July 14, 1949 Mrs. Virginia McDonald has received word from publisher Frank Glenn that her cookbook, “How I Cook It,” already has gone into its second printing, usually considered favorable for a book that has been in publication only a few weeks. Representatives of the Missouri College of Agriculture this week began a survey of farms in the Grand River basin in this area to aid in determining the economic impact of the proposed Pattonsburg reservoir. “Jesse James Was My Neighbor,” Homer Croy’s newest book, is stirring recollection throughout Northwest Missouri, where the James boys lived and in several instances plied their trade. Gallatin had a prominent part in the book because of the December 1869 bank robbery by the James boys. In that robbery, Capt. John Sheets was slain. Jesse James shot him cold-bloodedly in the belief that he was S.P. Cox, who had killed Bloody Bill Anderson.

From the Bench
Truancy a growing problem in our Circuit by Judge R. Brent Elliott The seven judges of the 43rd Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb and Livingston counties) recently held our first “En Banc” meeting of the year. The hottest topics were changes mandated by the Missouri Supreme Court relating to bonding procedures and court costs in criminal cases. I will address these issues in future articles after we establish the most feasible means to implement the changes. We also are taking steps to address the increasing problem of truancy in our circuit. Truancy affects us all. A significant amount of school funding is based upon student numbers and attendance. Students who fail to attend school on a regular basis (especially in lower grade levels) soon find themselves hopelessly behind in the education process. Failure to procure a good education in the developmental years bears a high correlation to serious future problems including criminal activity. Annually, the 43rd Circuit Juvenile Office is asked to intervene in well over 100 truancy cases. Unfortunately, an
increasing number of these involve children in the K-6th grade levels. To address the problem I recently enacted an administrative order creating the 43rd Circuit Truancy Court. Livingston County Associate Circuit Judge Michael Leamer has agreed to implement our pilot program. Judge Leamer will convene “Court” and frequently meet with school officials and AWOL students in an attempt to address their issues in a prompt, professional manner. We sincerely hope “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Please keep in mind Judge Leamer is performing this task strictly as a public service. He will be donating his time and will receive no additional compensation for his efforts. Judge Leamer is a native of Polo and currently resides in Chillicothe. I believe his exceptional educational experiences as a “Panther” and nine years on the Chillicothe School Board will be of great benefit to the citizens of Livingston County. PERSONAL NOTE: Imagine my sister-in-law Donna Elliott’s surprise when she recently

Willa Lee King, 93, Trenton, died July 4, 2019, at Sunnyview Nursing Home, Trenton. Mrs. King was born Dec. 28, 1925, in Melbourne, the daughter of Leonard and Inez Provorse Buck. She attended Melbourne School and graduated from Trenton High School. She was a member of the First Assembly of God Church, Trenton. On Jan. 3, 1979, she was married to Willie Carrol King at Excelsior Springs. He preceded in death on Oct. 28, 1995. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and one brother, W.E. Buck. Survivors include two sons, Bruce Meek and wife Sandy, Jamesport, and Brad Meek, Brimson; seven grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. Beverly G. Houston 1948-2019 In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions for Beverly Houston may be sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Heart of America Chapter. Cremation has been entrusted to Stith Funeral Home in Gallatin. Beverly G. Houston, 71, Gallatin, died July 4, 2019, at Redwood of Cameron. Beverly was born on April 16, 1948, the daughter of Elmer E. and Francis E. (Allen) Gaddy in East Prairie. She was a 1967
graduate of DeSoto High School. On Feb. 25, 1966, Beverly was united in marriage to Billie Wayne Houston in Belleville, IL. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in business from Wichita State University. Beverly, a homemaker, worked briefly in restaurant management. Mrs. Houston was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Billie; daughter, Kelly Mahone; and two brothers.

picked up a Hallmark birthday card to find a picture of my parents on the front. Upon retirement and for several years prior to their passing, my parents went to breakfast every Saturday morning with other retired couples they referred to as “The Breakfast Club.” One of the couples had a son who worked for Hallmark and he decided to surprise his mother and father by showing up at a Saturday ritual with a company photographer. We had forgotten their experience until the recent discovery on the birthday card. The card depicts all of the club members looking toward the camera with the caption, “We all think you look great on your birthday!” The inside of the card declares, “Of course, we don’t see as good as we used to!” I could not tell you how many times I heard my father make a similar statement to a friend. Pardon me – I must go find a Kleenex.

Urgent call for blood and platelet donors About 450 fewer blood drives were organized by businesses and other community groups last week than during a typical week as people across the country celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with activities and travel. This led to about 17,000 fewer blood donations than needed for patients in a single week, causing the Red Cross to now have less than a three-day supply of most blood types available – and less than a two-day supply of type O blood – for patients. At least a five-day supply is desired. Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate using the Blood Donor App, at RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate. Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this summer by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.

Altamont United Methodist The adult Sunday School lesson was on Jesus saying that his disciples are the salt of the earth and we are the light of the world, from Matthew 5:13-16. Salt is an absolute necessity. Special songs were “I Am the Church,” “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Send the Light.” Jonathan and Jacob learned about how to get along with others. Hopefully, we can have a three-day Bible school the end of July. Krista Clark is working faithfully on the project; please lend her a hand. May God be of comfort to Mary and J.B. Wilson this week. We are grateful for the abundance of hay being put up this week. God is good. Gallatin United Methodist Rev. Rick Krietemeyer, visiting minister, led the worship service.
