iling label your paper. A former paramedic with renew today! northwest Missouri ambulance

districts in Gallatin and Bethany was sentenced in federal court Jan. 26 for stealing painkilling drugs and replacing the vials with water. Joseph L. Comstock, 31, of Bethany, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips to

two years and six months in federal prison without parole, according to Timothy A. Garrison, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. On Sept. 12, 2017, Comstock pleaded guilty to three counts of tampering with a consumer product (fentanyl and morphine) with reckless disregard for the

risk that another person would be placed in danger of death or bodily injury, and under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to such risk. Comstock admitted that he emptied vials of morphine and fentanyl, taking it for his own personal use, and replaced the pain-killing drugs with sterilized

Great Northwest Day at capitol Feb. 6-7 As legislators are gearing up for a new season in Jefferson City. So, too, are the citizens of Northwest Missouri. The Great Northwest Day at the Capitol steering committee will gather and prioritize legislative priorities affecting the Northwest Missouri region for the region’s annual visit to the state capitol city on Feb. 6-7. In 2017, over 300 people from the 18-county region visited Jefferson City to make their regional voice heard in a single, cohesive message. Great Northwest Day’s legislative platform highlighted a theme of Growing the Missouri of the Future, and included the following priorities, in no particular order: ● Creation of a Rural Policy Office

The fabric of America is rural communities. It is here where generations of families worked together to plant, nurture and

harvest crops on small family homesteads. Our nation grew as a result of this hard work. Now, as society changes, we cannot abandon our history. One way to address this is through the creation of an Office of Rural Policy in the Office of Administration. ● Investment in Infrastructure

The definition of infrastructure has expanded over the past decades to include critical facilities such as water and wastewater systems, levees, storm sewers, streets, public storm shelters, bridges and broadband. Local governments have a challenge obtaining necessary funding to properly address this expanded description as well as meet the needs of rural Missouri; therefore, we encourage the creation of an infrastructure and economic development bank for the state of Missouri. The bank will provide low-interest, long-

term financing that can be used for a number of purposes. This action will add jobs, have longterm local impacts and build a stronger competitive base from which to grow our northwest Missouri communities.

water. Comstock tampered with the drug vials while working at both the NTA Ambulance District in Bethany and the Community Ambulance District of Daviess County in Gallatin in 2014 and 2015. Comstock started tampering with drugs in March 2014, following a medical procedure to remove his tonsils. He accessed drugs on ambulances and was able to bend up the lid of the plastic boxes and dump out the drugs he wished to tamper with. He obtained both fentanyl and morphine from ambulances and replaced the drugs with sterile water. Comstock admitted there were at least two occasions where he personally treated patients with drugs he knew he had tampered with. These patients were both hip fracture patients that were supposed to receive fentanyl but instead received sterile water that Comstock had placed in the vial. Federal officials were notified on March 4, 2015, of possible drug tampering at the NTA Ambulance District in Bethany. The chief of EMS reported that an employee had noticed two morphine syringes had broken tamper-evident seals. On Jan. 30, 2015, an employee noticed that two morphine syringes had broken tamper-evident seals. On Feb. 27, 2015, ambulance em-

ployees looked through narcotic boxes kept on the three NTA ambulances. They found a number of drugs that were missing tamper-evidence caps and had broken tamper-evident seals, including midazolam, lorazepam, morphine and fentanyl. Federal agents installed surveillance equipment at the Bethany NTA building on March 18, 2015. A camera was also placed on an ambulance which was taken out of service. Comstock was recorded on the surveillance video as he stole morphine from the ambulance on two separate occasions on March 19 and March 23, 2015. Comstock later admitted that he had tampered with drugs on all the ambulances prior to that as well. Comstock also admitted that he tampered with drugs when he visited the Gallatin ambulance building on Feb. 24, 2015. An employee found Comstock (who had stopped working at the Gallatin ambulance company in June 2014) inside the Gallatin ambulance building. Comstock explained he had come by the Gallatin facility to use the treadmill. Later that same day, the employee went on a service call and treated a man suffering from leg pain with 100 mcg of fentanyl; however, the man did not receive any pain relief. When the employee returned, he examined (continued on page 3)

● Fiber Optics: “Final Connection”

Access to broadband is essential to growing our economic communities. Access to the world marketplace allows our local companies to offer their products and services at an international level, and allows our residents to remain connected to the world around them.

● Investment Education, including Pre K-12 and Higher Education

An investment in the education of Missouri is an investment in economic development. Having an educated population who are ready to work with the right knowledge and skills will attract businesses to our state.

Rotary Club to host event Saturday at lake The 3rd Annual Gallatin Rotary Trivia Contest will be held on Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Lake Viking Clubhouse, main level. Doors open at 6 p.m. and competition begins promptly at 7 p.m. Teams of eight are encouraged, but not required. The cost is $20 per participant. Make checks payable to Gallatin Rotary Club. Register by calling 660-663-2831 by Feb. 1. Heavy appetizers, snacks and soft drinks are provided. Those who are between the ages of 18 and 20 will be admitted with an adult and must be a team member. A silent auction will be held.

Plan now to take the ‘Polar Plunge’ to benefit Special Olympics The 11th Annual Polar Plunge at Lake Viking may be an “unbearable” event, depending upon the weather. But it is also an unique opportunity to show your bravery as you support local Special Olympics athletes by walking, running or crawling into the frigid winter waters of Lake Viking. This year’s plunge is Feb. 24. Registration at the Lake Viking clubhouse is 11 a.m.; the traditional parade of costumes at 1:30 p.m. The plunge immediately follows at 2 p.m. This year’s theme is “Let your inner Zeus loose!” In 2017, the Lake Viking Plunge had about 100 plungers and raised over $30,000! This one-of-a-kind event promises a fun atmosphere complete with music, crazy costumes and lasting memories for everyone! Participants must be at least 10 years old and raise

a minimum of $75 each by event day. Fundraising prizes will include an anorak pullover at the $300 Goosebumps Level; a backpack at the $500 Chilly Level; a packable puffer jacket at the $1,000 Frost Level; and a weatherproof down blanket (plus one of each other level) at the $2,000 Arctic Level. This year, an added attraction will be the PeeWee Plunge for youngsters, which will take place at 12 noon, located under the shelter behind the clubhouse. (Children under the age of eight are required to wear life jackets to be within 50 feet of the water, which is why the event is located behind the clubhouse.) This event, for future Polar Plungers, will require participants to raise $25, and they will receive a goody bag and certificate of participation. There will be a special prize for the top fund-raising

PeeWee. Concessions will be served by Mi Mexico, featuring Mexican “gyros” with a Greek flair (street tacos) and chili, hot chocolate and coffee. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO). SOMO exists to provide year-round sports and training opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities and our athletes need you to get involved. Become a coach, volunteer, recruit a future athlete and learn how you can make a difference! The Polar Plunge is a project of the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics Missouri. Chillicothe Correctional Center, Western Missouri Correctional Center and Crossroads Correctional Center are proud to host this event.

Tolerance by Freida M arie Crump

A slow death for video stores Years ago I now recall a Rotary Club meeting when the guest speaker failed to materialize and yours truly was pushed into offering an impromptu program on some new fangled thing called the internet. I was smart enough to say little. But I did venture one prediction now realized: Video will emerge while the video rental business will suffer, if not eventually die. This was at a time when video stores across America were booming. These were times before DVDs and consumers still had to choose between VHS and Beta to run cam recorders for home movies ...or to rent the latest blockbuster movie to watch at home rather than go out to an actual theater. Business was brisk. Both grocery stores in Gallatin (yes, kids, once upon a time....) had huge video tape sections for overnight rentals. There was even a business dedicated to renting video tapes, operating out of the old skating rink here in town. Other local video stores followed. I’m no sage. I hardly envisioned UTube or video over voice on Skype or the explosion of entertainment services like Netflix. Nobody worried about video security cameras and smart phones were still decades into the future. But we did have a Super Nintendo at our house. It took no mental genius to see how kids would grow up addicted to flickering screens. When Gallatin Publishing was helping to bring dial-up internet service to this community, there really was no question about how all things digital were on the grow. Entertainment supercharges the digital age. Many probably prefer not to admit this but there’s more time spent playing video games on smart phones than for practical or educational purposes. Today the few games that are familiar to me are visual upgrades to the same basic games of Nintendo. But, obviously, interactive gaming has elevated to international competitions with large prizes for winners. Virtual gaming is prevalent on all levels, even Bitcoin which is being played as a disrupter in financial circles. Gaming is everywhere. Video games are even entering theological thinking. A man in Kansas City coined the word, “theoludology” and chose it as the topic of his doctoral dissertation

in systematic theology. Matt Millsap is the assistant director of library services at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. According to an article published in The Pathway, Millsap admits to being somewhat of a video game nerd. But he argues that the time has come to seriously consider even video games as a means of communicating the gospel (as long as what’s presented is held accountable to scripture).

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

After all, Millsap argues, film and television are common topics for theological dialog, and religious thinkers have been pondering painting, literature, sculpture and music for hundreds if not thousands of years. Why isn’t the same true for an art form that’s emerged in the past 40 years? “Theo” (a combining form meaning god) “-ludo” (Latin root for game or play) “-ology” (a branch of knowledge) ...for a doctoral dissertation. Whoddathunkit? I suppose I wonder about the future of video because, frankly, I didn’t really see all this coming. When I became editor of this newspaper working for publisher Joe Snyder, I pecked on a brand new IBM Selectric typewriter (with a carbon ribbon) and spent countless hours developing film for greyscale prints in the darkroom. I never dreamed of my workday spent just this past week developing a photo gallery and video for the new Lake Viking website soon to roll out onto the worldwide web. Aspiring young editors today must also be proficient video editors, capable of communicating effectively on multiple forums. Not by choice because, actually, they have no choice. How do ol’ dogs like me learn such new tricks? Well... ahhummm, instructional videos ...not rented, but provided free online. The business ploy is to cement loyalties to the royalties for the software necessary not just for LakeVikingMo.com but for a growing number of real estate websites we develop and host.

It’s kinda like using the cloud... not by choice because, actually, we have no choice. Video is booming via smart phones; the video rental business definitely isn’t — not since the Internet and video streaming came to towns across America. The Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] reports that one of the last Blockbuster stores still in business is located in Edinburg, TX — and it’s in the process of liquidating its stock. Another Blockbuster in Eagle River, AK, will soon close its doors. This is quite a comedown for Blockbuster. In the early 1990s the chain was 9,000 stores strong. Now less than 10 remain open for business. Most of the handful of active video stores in the nation are in locations with poor Wi-Fi access or in big cities specializing in hard-to-find movies and documentaries and video games. Yes, you can still rent a video down at Dungy’s Market in Gallatin. There’s also a Red Box offering video selections for rent over at Casey’s, and you can purchase DVDs at a couple of stores in town. So, there’s still demand, but the video rental business is well past its heyday. The demise of video rentals is a reminder that nothing — even if wildly successful — is indefinitely secure in the marketplace. It’s not as if I need any reminders. Many voices pronounced print media dead long before the drop in video rental sales. And yes, there are days when I wonder if this newspaper published every week since 1864 has about run its course. But, with apologies to Mark Twain, I must say the reports of print’s death are greatly exaggerated. Maybe print, especially a weekly newspaper, isn’t even as exciting as renting a very old, outdated video. The news, after all, is sometimes like eating your vegetables while so much video is like binging on desserts. All I know for sure is that every two weeks I’m very, very thankful to make another round of paychecks for the more than 20 people working here. There are no guarantees. I know it’s ludicrous to mention Gallatin Publishing Company in the same breath as any national business enterprise. But perhaps, if we can hang on for a few more years, even a dinky little weekly newspaper like this one will have outlived the rise and fall of Blockbuster.

Greetings from Poosey. As so often happens in our American experience, Mark Twain explains it well. He writes of an experiment he conducted when he had heard that man is the “reasoning animal,” but in Twain’s own observations he found mankind to be incurably foolish. Twain said that he took a cat and a dog then spent an hour teaching them to be friends. He then put them in a cage and added a rabbit. Over the next two days he was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. He said, “They lived together in peace; even affectionately.” Then Twain bought another cage and I’ll let him tell what happened. “I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame, I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares; and finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping.” He stayed away for two whole days and when he returned he noticed that the cage of “higher animals,” was alright, but in the other there were “signs of a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh -- not a specimen left alive.” He concluded that these so-called reasoning animals had disagreed on a theological detail and “carried the matter to a high court.” Mark Twain maintained that as the world got more complicated, the asset of tolerance was to be more and more highly prized ...the simple act of respecting the life and opinions of others. In one of his lectures, he spoke on things that were omitted from the Holy Scriptures but should have been included. Among those was, “Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor’s religion is. Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it.” And, of course, he was speaking of much more than religion when he made this plea for tolerance among the human race. The great writer from Hannibal went on to say that “travel is fatal to prejudice,” that actually meeting and getting to know our fellow inhabitants of this earth was the road to peace. In fact, sometimes Twain got a bit hostile on the subject: “You never saw a bigoted, opinionated, stubborn, narrow-minded, self-conceited, almighty mean man in your life but he had stuck in one place since he was born and thought God made the world and dyspepsia and bile for his especial comfort and satisfaction.” Whew! I think that Mark wanted us to get out and learn what the rest of the world is like. I think he wanted us to be tolerant. There’s an old story about a little boy who was afraid of the dark because he was afraid of monsters in his bedroom. But alas, there came the day when he was no longer allowed to sleep with the light on. The first night he was paralyzed with fear. In fact, he was so afraid that he crept over to his closet to get a flashlight. But when he opened the closet door he came face to face with a monster, and he let out the loudest scream in the world. The monster took a step backwards, grabbed his multi-colored hair and started crying. The monster cried for so long that the boy’s fear calmed down to almost nothing. He tried to comfort the monster and asked him why he was crying. The monster told him that he lived in the closet but he was afraid to come out because he was afraid of the boy. He said that the boy’s face was the most horrible thing he had ever seen, and the boy told the monster that he felt the same way about his new friend’s face. The two traveled the world together and made friends with lions, tigers, and dragons... it was the first time they had seen such creatures, but once they got to know them, they were no longer afraid. Not only are many of us unwilling to walk a mile in another man’s shoes, we’re afraid to even look at his feet, and thus we have created this awful mess of legislators who won’t compromise, pundits who would destroy the constitution in order to weaken their opponents, the suicidal philosophy that our nation/state/city/ family must be first over all others. We are in Mark Twain’s cage of creatures and his experiment is once again coming true. I have friends who express opinions that grate on me like verbal sandpaper, and I no doubt have the same effect on them. But dog gone it, we’re in this together. Tolerance. Dear God, tolerance. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Budget cliff looms as we kick problems down the road Missouri’s legislature is facing one of greater budget precipices I’ve covered in some five decades. The magnitude of the budget crisis was demonstrated by Gov. Eric Greitens when he unveiled his spending plans. It includes the largest percentage cut in state funds for public higher education in more than one quarter of a century -- a 10.8% cut in the prior-year appropriation. Further, in this current budget year that runs until June 30, the state will not have enough cash to pay your tax refunds on time. So, rather than delaying tax refunds until next summer or cutting funds from other agencies to pay your refunds, Greitens’ budget proposes borrowing more than $250 million from private lenders to pay your refunds on time. That would kick the cost of tax refunds into the next year when those loans will have to be repaid. The budget calamity facing Missouri is so bad that the governor had to engage in a bit of financial fantasy to put a rosy face to his budget. He proposed $163 million in new funding for state highway construction and maintenance. But Transportation Department is funded primarily from dedicated funds -- like the gasoline tax -- over

which the Constitution gives the governor and the legislature little control. The governor’s budget already has come under attack from legislative Republicans. Just hours after the governor’s budget announcement, the Senate’s Appropriations chair voiced concerns about the proposed higher education cuts. Greitens’ plan to borrow money for prompt P ll payment of tax returns oo raised immediate concerns about Missouri’s constitutional ban on the legislature authorizing loans to fund budget obligations. “We’re probably not going to do this, I think,” proclaimed House Budget Committee Chair Scott Fitzpatrick (R-Shell Knob). Just think of the financial turmoils of Illinois and California to understand the wisdom of the authors of Missouri’s Constitution banning deficit spending. In his defense, the budget problems Greitens now faces are, in part, the result of earlier Republican-controlled legislative sessions that passed business and other tax cuts despite warnings about the

long-term financial consequences. In response, tax-cut proponents argued the cuts would spur economic growth which would generate more tax revenue. But that has not happened to the degree promised by supporters -- despite a rebounding economy. At the start of this year’s legislative session, Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard, R-Joplin, warned of the damage to the state from any new large tax cuts. Later, a legislative budget leader expressed concerns about the past tax cuts. The answer to Missouri’s current budget woes won’t come from the politically easy proposals like improving efficiency. Reducing paper clip purchases will not resolve the budget cliff Missouri now faces. The alternative of raising taxes would seem unlikely in an election year. Besides, any significant tax increase would require statewide voter approval. So, what about restructuring government in ways that truly reduce costs? What about consolidating the more than 500 separate school districts to lower

Capitol Perspectives

the cost of education administration? What about consolidating the various competing higher education institutions. That could reduce both duplication and administrative costs. What about returning to counties rural roads the state maintains that really are not part of the statewide highway system? What about consolidating the departments of Social Services, Health and Mental Health to reduce administrative overhead for an array of family, medical, nutritional and well-being programs? If the vision for welfare is a pathway to work, why not consolidate welfare programs with the Labor Department, as one Senate Democratic leader proposed years ago? These are not the kind of structural ideas I’m hearing from our state leaders to provide long-term solutions to the state’s budget realities. Instead, so far, it strikes me this could be another year when the budget problem again is kicked down the road.

WOTUS proves overregulation exists by Eric B ohl

Overregulation has been claimed so often over the past decade that the charge now frequently falls upon deaf ears. Regulatory proponents usually assert that the specter of overregulation is largely a myth – a widely-held belief that tells a good story, but the closer you get the harder it is to find. But true overregulation does exist; we have seen it in real life. Perhaps the most egregious example of government overreach in recent times was the “Waters of the United States” rule that President Obama first proposed in 2011 and finalized in 2015. Known as WOTUS, this rule sought to expand the definitions of “Waters of the United States” and “navigable waters” to include far more than the previous definition and bring millions more acres under federal government regulation. Rather than limiting the scope of its power to major waterways in keeping with landmark rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court,

the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) extended the definition to waters “adjacent to” navigable waters, and even to areas with a “significant nexus to” those waters. This fuzzy and vague definition resulted in over 99% of Missouri being defined as “Waters of the United States,” and thus subject to EPA regulation. This could have allowed EPA to require landowners to ask governmental permission before doing almost any ordinary activity on their own land, even if it is almost always completely dry – something unjustified by science, completely impracticable to enforce, blatantly against the original intent of the law and totally contrary to American tradition. Thankfully, a more logical view prevailed. Legal action stayed the WOTUS rule to keep it from going into effect. Last spring President Trump announced his intention to re-write the rule and keep it within the

boundaries of the law. The EPA is now considering the comments it received on its proposal to withdraw the old rule and is expected to announce a final decision this spring. Farm Bureau supports the withdrawal of the old rule and crafting a new rule that provides clarity and common-sense guidance to landowners. A new nationwide Farm Bureau social media campaign involving a child’s rubber duck puts it more simply: “If you can’t #FloatUs, it’s not #WOTUS.” Dry land should not be defined as “navigable water” – allowing it to be defies all common sense. If environmentalists want to expand the law, they should do it the right way: convince enough Congressmen to vote for your proposal, don’t just try to twist the plain language of existing law into a pretzel to get your way.

Soil ledger archived

The most recent contribution to the Society’s archive is ledger detailing the transactions of the Daviess County Soil Improvement Association (1941-45). These were times when R.S. McClelland served as county agent and volunteers worked to encourage soil-building practices. Many landowners are listed as members with meetings held not only in the courthouse but also at the local CCC Camp (located on the west side of Gallatin). Annual meetings were led by F.S. Tuggle, president. Much of the ledger is devoted to itemizing the purchase of lime through the AAA Program. The ledger comes to the Historical Society recently from Tim Baker of Gallatin, who alertly saved the ledger from being discarded.

Rural entrepreneurship will be the focus of discussion at the 2018 Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. annual meeting slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, March 9, at the Litton Agri-Science Learning Center, located on Highway 190 in Chillicothe. Guest speaker will be Deb Markley, PhD, and co-director of the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship. The center’s mission is to help community leaders build a prosperous future by supporting and empowering business, social and civic entrepreneurs. This work benefits communities of all sizes and interests by bringing empowering research together with effective community engagement to advance community-driven strategies for prosperity. The goal is to help community leaders find answers to the economic development challenges and opportunities they face. To provide our region an additional service and gather examples for her Friday keynote, Deb Markley will lead two “Community Conversations” on Thursday prior to the annual meeting. These conversations will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cameron Community Building. Participation is $35 per person, a fee which includes lunch.

The conversations are intended to target the topic, “Finding Your Best ‘Next Step’ Toward Regional Prosperity.” The keynote will define regional prosperity in a broad way and then lay out the center’s field-based theory of what must be addressed to advance regional prosperity: cultivating economic opportunities; investing in quality of life place making; and attracting new residents to support demographic renewal. Using stories from the field to illustrate effective strategies in each of these areas, Markley will describe how other communities determined their best “next step.” She will then offer reflections from the community conversations and the opportunities that exist for this region. The program will conclude with some lessons learned and also some encouraging thoughts for this region. Friday’s breakfast meeting in Chillicothe is the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri’s 7th annual event. The breakfast meeting engages between 250 to 300 regional leaders from a variety of industries alongside government officials. Doors open at 8:15 a.m. with breakfast at 8:30 a.m.; the program runs 9 to 10:30 a.m. Reservations are required at $30 per person.

Please register and pay online at www.cfnwmo.org or call Mary or Stacey at The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, phone 816.232.2022. The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) public charity with a mission of encouraging regional collaboration to increase the power of charitable giving and philanthropy to transform our region into an economically vibrant area. The foundation provides charitable giving administration to more than 215 funds with over $22 million in assets.

GHS girls recover enough, capture consolation at Hamilton Gallatin varsity basketball players and coaches too, made the best of a week of illness that left them less than full strength through last week’s Hamilton Invitational Tournament. In addition to coughs, headaches and sinus conditions, nearly one-third of the girls’ team was out of action throughout last week. The boys’ team was missing two players against Richmond, both who were sick during the Hamilton game. The Lady Bulldogs came back from a disappointing loss to Braymer in the opening round by winning their final two contests, including Friday night’s 52-35 victory over Lathrop. Gallatin’s boys drew one of the toughest tournament schedules, first losing to #2 Hamilton and dropping Wednesday’s night’s consolation game to #3 Richmond by a 77-72 margin. A Lathrop three-pointer followed Courtney Shubert’s twopoint bucket that opened scoring on Friday night but Gallatin never trailed after back-to-back

Candidates are freshmen Lillian Carter and Wiley Butler, sophomores Shelby Snider and Patrick Cowley, juniors Kirsten Slessman and Dillon Gannan, seniors Katie Warford and Jackson Zamora, basketball Kadence Johnson and Brett Curtis. The first grade attendants are Brantley Gardner and Cash Teel.

(Opponent to be determined – east versus west). The dance will follow in the gym.

baskets by Kelsey Maxwell and Cora Stout. The Lady Bulldogs led by as many as 25 points on their way to the win. Stout and Karley Salmon each totaled 10 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs. Shubert finished with seven points. Hayley Michael and Janee Filbeck each contributed six for Gallatin. The Lady Bulldogs reached the consolation final by turning back the Richmond Lady Spartans, 63-46, on Wednesday. Cora Stout turned in one of her best performances, scoring a team-high 16 points on 78% shooting from the paint, and pulling down eight rebounds. Salmon hit 4-of-5 trey attempts and finished with 14 points. Maxwell added 13 points and six boards for the Lady Bulldogs. R i c h mond boys 7 7 , G allati n 7 2 Wednesday night’s consolation semifinal had plenty off offense but the Bulldogs came up short to Richmond, 77-72, thanks to late Spartan free throws. The two teams combined for 116 shots from the field and 62 attempts at the free throw line. With the Bulldogs fighting to keep it a one-possession game inside the final two minutes, the Spartans went to the foul line and sank 8-of-10 chances to keep the Bulldogs at bay. Gabe Cole notched a pair of charity tosses at the 1:20 mark to chip what at one time was a four-point deficit down to two points. Richmond’s lead again grew to four points inside the final minute but Colin Beck hit a free throw with eight seconds remaining to cut the gap to 75-72. Forced to foul, the Bulldogs sent the Spartans to the line for a pair of made free throws that iced the game. The Bulldogs held a 66-61 lead in the middle of the third quarter but the Spartans responded with 10 of the next 12 points to gain the lead for good. Jett Simmons, with a single free throw at the 4:09 mark of the second quarter, reached the 1,000-point plateau for his career. Simmons finished with a team-high 25 points. Tristen Gibson accounted for 19 points and seven rebounds from his guard position. Beck finished with 11 points and six boards.

GHS girls nail down second place in GRC East Division

1,000 for Simmons Gallatin R-5 senior Jett Simmons scored his 1,000th career point at the 4:09 mark of the second quarter against Richmond during the Jan. 24 consolation semifinal game of the Hamilton Invitational Tournament. Simmons is the first Bulldog since Harris Cameron to eclipse the 1,000-point barrier. Cameron did it at the 4:04 mark of the second quarter in a Feb. 12, 2016, GRC win over South Harrison.

Gallatin’s girls shook off a fourth quarter rally by Milan Tuesday night to win on the road, 57-49, in their final Grand River Conference East Division contest of the season. With the victory, Gallatin will travel to North Andrew on Friday for the inter-division game pitting second place East-West finishers against each other. Gallatin defeated North Andrew, 46-42, back in December. Made free throws pushed the Lady Bulldogs over the top on Tuesday. Karley Salmon and Courtney Shubert combined to hit 5-of-5 chances in the final 1:19 to pull away from a onepossession lead. Gallatin led by as many as 15 points late in the second quarter after buckets by Kelsey Maxwell and Cora Stout. The host Lady Wildcats went on a 24-8 tear to grab a 39-38 advantage with two minutes left in the half.

Bulldogs visit Albany on Friday in GRC crossover matchup Gallatin’s boys gave a good accounting of themselves Tuesday night against the top team in the Grand River Conference Western Division but failed to have enough firepower to pull off an upset win on the road. Milan, with only one loss on the season to Trenton, which came in league play, nailed down the West title with a 60-47 victory. Gallatin, eighth place finisher in the Eastern Division of the league, will travel to Albany on Friday to take on the Warriors, who did not win a game on their West Division schedule. Milan will travel to North Andrew on Friday to contest the overall league championship. A three-pointer by Jett Simmons, one of four from the Bulldogs’ leading scorer, put Gallatin in front, 12-10, early in Tuesday’s contest, but the Wildcats would own a 28-19 advantage by half time. Milan spread the lead to 44-30 after three periods and cruised to the wire. Simmons canned 26 points by converting 9-of-14 shots from the field and all four free throw

Gallatin wrestlers dominate Grand River Conference Tournament The only thing better than winning the Grand River Conference Wrestling Tournament once, is winning it again in a more dominant performance. The Gallatin Bulldogs successfully defended their league title on Saturday at Albany, winning seven of 11 championship matches that helped produce a 197 to 125 victory for the second straight season over runnerup Maysville. The Bulldogs, who now own three conference wrestling titles, posted one of the highest winning team totals in recent history. Keegan Allen, Ross Critten, Ayden Wayne, Drayton Harris, Tom Crouse, Gage Wright and Graydee Rains each came home with a GRC title while Rian Critten, Caleb Boyd, Owen Schweizer and Cody Arnold each finished a runner-up in championship matches. Jacob Maize brought home a fourth place finish. Brigham Steele was a fifth place finisher. Gallatin entered the tournament with eight wrestlers ranked among the top tier in Class 1. Allen, 20-1 and ranked fourth in the 106-pound weight class, was back after a couple of weeks out of action. He drew a first round bye on Saturday and then pinned two opponents for a perfect day. Ross Critten, the #1 ranked wrestler in the 113-pound class, ran his season record to 40-0 with four victories on Saturday, all by pins. Ayden Wayne, 28-12, gained a title in the 120-pound class with three victories, including a 6-4 overtime win over Dylon Pappert of Stanberry. Drayton Harris, 32-4 and ranked #6 in the 138-pound weight class, pinned three opponents and won, 7-4, over Polo’s Wyatt Segar, previously ranked #6 in the 132-pound class. Tom Crouse worked hard for

his title in the 160-pound class. Crouse, 27-8, won two matches by major decision and two others by 8-4 and 5-0 margins. Gage Wright, 30-9 and ranked just outside the top six in the 170-pound class, won all four of his matches by fall. Rains, 30-1 and the #4 ranked wrestler in the 220-pound class, received a bye to go with a pin victory over Stanberry’s Zach Oldham and a 7-1 win over Trenton’s Mason Owen, ranked #6 in the state. Rian Critten, 31-11, pinned four straight opponents before running into Maysville’s Dylan Wade, the top-ranked Class 1 wrestler in the 126-pound class. Wade captured the title with a 21-9 major decision. Caleb Boyd’s first four matches included a pair of wins by major decision, a bye and victory by pin. Boyd, 31-10, lost in sudden death (4-3) to Maysville’s Dalton Wade. Both wrestlers are ranked just outside the top six in the 145-pound class. Owen Schweizer, 21-7, won two of three matches in the 182-pound class. His only loss of the day came to Trenton’s Mark Trump. Cody Arnold, 13-10, also won two of three matches in the 195-pound class. His only setback came to Trenton’s Jadan Whitney. Jacob Maize took fourth in the 132-pound class, with one victory against three losses. Maize, 1418, pinned Stanberry’s Jessica Claibourn.

‘State of the Judiciary’ speech topics featured by Judg e R . Brent Elli ott Edi tor’ s note: C ircuit Judge R . Brent Elliott’ s series of articles is intended to encourage a better understanding of the judicial system and changes in the law. T his article features Missouri S upreme C ourt C hief Justice, Z el Fischer, and his recent “ S tate of the Judiciary” speech to Missouri’ s General Assembly.

In 2010, Justice Fischer recommended to his colleagues that Missouri become the first state to adopt a Uniform Bar Examination. He pointed out “the same bar examination given on the sameREDUCED date in many states generates a score that is portable to other states administering that same exam.” Up to that point, recent law school graduates were required to take the bar examination in each state in which they sought to practice. Justice Fischer noted the Uniform Bar Exam permits law school graduates to transfer their bar exam score to another

participating state “to pursue a law license in that state without the undue delay, stress, and expense of having to retake the bar exam.” This is particularly beneficial to our graduates who chose to practice law in other states or in close proximity to our bordering states. Twentyeight other jurisdictions have followed Missouri’s lead and many other states are expected to adopt the system in the near future. Justice Fischer also pointed out, in 2017, the Missouri Judiciary was ranked third – internationally – for the best use of technology to improve court services and access to the public. Only NEW LISTING Arizona and Dubai were ranked higher than Missouri. Among the technological advances is the use of closed circuit transmission (CCT) systems. The 43rd Judicial Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb and Livingston counties) is the only circuit in the state with three major prisons and a regional jail. We are now able to take up cases from those

Several years ago, I had a phone conversation with an old friend whom I had not heard from in about 10 years. He had engaged in a time of repentance and felt like God had forgiven him. However, he was struggling with forgiving himself. This is a perplexing problem for almost every Christian. I suppose there is not a one of us who has not done something (or several somethings) that haunt our memories. Whenever our particular sin is brought up in conversation, or we come across it in our reading, or we hear it discussed on the radio, we cringe at the memory brought up in our minds. This cringing inhibits our fellowship with our Savior. We must give our past to the One Who Died at Calvary for that very purpose. Guilt is a marvelous gift from God. Without feeling guilt, we will not repent. Guilt is designed not to destroy us but rather to crowd us to Christ, so that we will cry out for forgiveness found only in Him. Christ's interaction with Peter following his very public failure is very instructive for us. In John 13, on the eve of the crucifixion, Jesus predicted that Peter would deny Him three times before the night was over. John 18:15-27 records the fulfillment of Peter's triple betrayal. Verse 18 explicitly states that Peter was warming himself at a charcoal fire when he betrayed his Lord. John 21:1-17 continues this message by recording a very poignant and encouraging later meeting between Peter and the resurrected Christ. Peter and several disciples were finishing a night of fruitless fishing when Jesus appeared on the shore. I hope you do not find it coincidence that Jesus had built a charcoal fire on the shore. Jesus called Peter and the others to the fire. After a time of fellowship around the fire, Jesus asked a series of penetrating personal questions to Peter. I hope you do not find it coincidence that Jesus called Peter by his pre-salvation name of Simon. Jesus did not do these things to hurt Peter; rather, He did these things to get Peter to forgive himself. Peter needed to face his failure and realize that Christ had already faced it. Christ had just died to pay the penalty for it. Christ did not die so that Peter's failure could haunt him the rest of his life. Christ died so that Peter could be free from bondage brought on by long lasting guilt. Guilt is a good weekend guest because it brings us to repentance and the resulting forgiveness. Guilt makes a terrible roommate. We must not allow guilt to move in with us permanently. Instead, we must meet our Savior and Friend at the charcoal fire; dine with Him, realizing that He knows all about our failure and that He has forgiven all. It is a tragedy of indescribable proportions that Christians allow past failures to hinder present fellowship with their Lord. That could not be further from Christ's intentions. All of us have betrayed Christ. It makes no difference how. Christ died for your adultery, greed, anger, fornication, gossip, homosexual acts, murder, theft, dishonesty, idolatry, abortion, mistreatment of the weak, laziness, rebellion, etc. His death on the cross paid the penalty for your sin. His death on the cross made it possible for you to be restored to fellowship with Him. I encourage you to accept Jesus' invitation to come to the charcoal fire; dine with Him; listen to His penetrating questions; accept His forgiveness and forgetfulness. This is Christ's will for your life. He wants unhindered fellowship with you.

The legend of Caty Sage...and her connection to Daviess

Pictured are Lavena and Delbert Lowrey. Lavena will turn 94 on Feb. 2. Delbert passed away in 2006. They were married 65 years.

Lavena Lowrey recognized on 94th, volunteering at Multi-Purpose Center Lavena Lowrey of rural Pattonsburg was recently recognized for being a long-time volunteer at the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center. She has been there about every day since it opened in 1975. She will be 94 on Feb. 2 and will celebrate with a birthday party at the center. The public is invited to attend. “My birthday is on Groundhog Day,” Lavena says. “We all make light of that.” Currently Lavena is the greeter at the center. She has served as treasurer in the past. She has volunteered in other various capacities as well, like depositing the lunch money in the bank and picking up the mail. Lavena’s husband, Delbert, and their son Tommy were handymen for the center. Lavena and Delbert Lowrey were married in 1941. Delbert was a WWII veteran and a farmer. Lavena often helped Delbert with the farm work. She drove a tractor and sometimes worked in the fields. A portion of the farm was owned by Delbert’s father before him and is a Century Farm. They have four children, Bruce and Tommy, Evelyn (Butch) Bayne and Janelda Webber. Evelyn works at the Hy-Vee pharmacy in Bethany and Janelda works at Crestview in Bethany. Bruce is retired. Both Delbert and Tommy have passed away. Lavena was a volunteer with 4-H at Pattonsburg. She had a unique way of teaching the girls how to sew. Since she is lefthanded, she faced them like a mirror and it was a very effective learning tool. She is a member of Heath United Methodist Church. She has served as election judge up until a few years ago. “Mother always encouraged us to do well in school,” says son Bruce. “I remember being in the senior play. Mother would read all the other parts to help me practice my role.” Delbert and Lavena built their own house in 1952. They lived in the basement for about a year while constructing the rest of it. “Our folks were always selfsufficient,” says Bruce. “Mother raised a garden and canned.” Lavena has also been a part of the Tree Climber Genealogy Club. She has researched five different family trees and edited the information and put it in a book. There’s a shelf in the Tree Climber’s building called “Lavena’s Shelf.” The community can look through the genealogies she has compiled. Lavena’s husband and sons were also been deeply involved in the community. Both Delbert and Tommy were on the school board. Tommy helped the school

build its track and baseball field. He helped with other jobs that needed done, like hauling gravel. Bruce attended college and returned to Pattonsburg and taught for two years. He went to Independence and taught math for two years. He was city clerk in Independence for 39 years until he retired. After retirement, he has been able to help more with the farm. Lavena lives with Katie the dog. A daughter’s home is within walking distance, and she checks on Lavena every day. Be sure to say hello and wish Lavena happy birthday on Feb. 2 at the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center.

Songs and poems, books and ballads have been written about the kidnapping of Caty Sage, which happened over a century ago. Caty was a five-year-old girl stolen in 1792 from her home in Elk Creek, Grayson County, Va. Katie is connected to Daviess County through Sollie Sage. Sollie and his wife Peggy lived in the Lock Springs river bottom. They have both since passed away. Sollie was Caty’s great-nephew. Sollie’s siblings were Cuma, Lela, Lillian, Carl, Lula, Chester, Harriet and Leslie. Sollie was the son of John Davis (Jr.) Sage and Julia Florence Meyers. John Davis (Jr.) was the son of John Davis (Sr.) Sage and Sarah Minerva Lloyd. John Davis (Sr.) was the son of Sampson Sage and Lydia Fletcher. Sampson Sage was the son of James and Lovis Sage. Sampson was Caty’s brother. Here is a story called “The Lost Girl of Grayson” taken from the Wytheville Dispatch in 1897 James Sage was a soldier in the War of the Revolution. In 1780 he married a lady in Fredericktown, Md. Soon after he settled on Elk Creek in Grayson County, Va., his horses were stolen. He and a neighbor named Delp, and another named Cornett, followed in hot pursuit, and in two or three days recovered the horses, but the thief escaped. A man by the name of Talbert had been prowling about through the neighborhood and suspicion rested on him as the horse thief. On the 9th or 10th of April, 1792, which was soon after the stolen horses had been recovered, Talbert was again seen in the Elk Creek neighborhood close to the house of James Sage, but the people of the vicinity never saw him again. The 11th of April, 1693, was a bright and balmy day. Early that morning James Sage went to his “clearing” to prepare his ground for crop. The day opened so bright and clear that Mrs. Sage decided to go and do her week’s washing. She left her four children in the cabin and started to a little stream near by to build a fire to heat water to wash with. As she was leaving the door she saw a number of butterflies wandering about among the shrubbery in the garden and she called her little five-year-old daughter Katy to come and look at the butterflies. The child came and went on into the garden to enjoy a better sight of the gauzywinged creatures, while the mother went on to build the fire. After a while the mother returned to get the clothes she intended to wash, but Katy was missing. Mrs. Sage thought the child had wandered off after the butterflies, for the last words she had heard Katy utter was her childish language talking to the pretty butterflies. She went in search of Katy but could not find her. She called her husband and they looked for Katy all day long and all night long, but they did not find her. The next morning the neighbors for miles and miles around began to gather in and for several long weeks they searched in every direction for Katy, but in vain. After all had been done to find the child that human ingenuity could devise the neighbors and friends gave up the search as fruitless and returned to their homes. But James Sage began the

search anew. Starting at his cabin door, he examined every square foot of ground for miles and miles around, hoping to find some rag of clothing or some mark, however dim that might indicate to him the fate of his lost child. But he never found one trace. At last, in his despair, he heard of an old woman in North Carolina known by the name of “Granny Moses,” who was said to possess the power to reveal mysteries and look into and foretell all human events. James Sage made a journey across the mountains into the “Old North State” to see “Granny Moses.” He found her and in his own way laid before her the whole story of his lost child. The old women consulted her occult science, gathered up her faculties and told him, that his Katy was still alive and well, but she added, “Katy is where you will never see her or hear of her again in this world, but your wife (Mrs. Sage) will outlive you and in her very old age she will hear of Katy but will never see her. With broken spirit and sick at heart the man who had followed Washington through his greatest campaigns returned home and resumed work in the forest around his cabin. When thirty-one years had passed since Katy’s disappearance James Sage was laid to sleep in a grave in the beautiful Elk Creek Valley, and the message of “Granny Moses” was the only tidings that ever reached his ears of his lost child. Mrs. Sage outlived her husband many years. Her children, as time rolled on, became widely scattered. Some remained in Virginia and others settled in different States and Territories in the West. Her son Charles settled in Kansas, and in 1854 he met with an Indian agent there, who one day asked him if he had a sister or female relative among the Shawnee Indians. Charles answered No. But on reflection he told the agent the story of his sister who had been lost or stolen more than sixty years before. The agent said that there was a white women among the Shawnee Indians that bore a most striking resemblance to Charles. The woman was sent for and when Charles saw her his face became pale. It seemed to him that the very image of his mother as she appeared twenty years ago, when he left the old homestead, lived and glowed in the face and features of the strange woman. He believed her to be his long lost sister. She could not speak a word of English, but through an interpreter she told them that

she had been stolen away from her home in Virginia by a white man when she was a small child, that he took her to the Cherokee Indians and she never saw him again, that she had lived among the Cherokees awhile, and then with the Creeks, and finally with the Shawnees, that she had been three times married to distinguished Indian Chiefs and had bore one son, that her husbands had all died and she was a widow now for the third time and her son had recently died, that her name was Katy, and that she had retained that name in all her wanderings and travels through different countries and among different Indian tribes. Charles got her to go home with him and he at once wrote to his brother Samuel, who lived in Missouri, to come and see if he could recognize her. Samuel was older and could remember Katy. Samuel came and saw the woman and heard her history and believed her to be his sister. The brothers then wrote to their mother, who was still living at the old place on Elk Creek, and told her about the woman they believed to be their sister, and asked the mother to tell them all she could remember about Katy The mother was then near her ninetieth birthday, but on hearing the letter read her memory revived and she said almost instantly: “Write and tell the boys that my daughter Katy has a ginger-colored birth mark on her shoulder,” and then she went on and described the mark, and the very spot described by the mother was found upon the shoulder of the woman in Charles Sage’s house. Her identification was now complete and beyond question, and the brothers decided to take her home to their mother at once, and Katy was anxious to go. Arrangements for the journey were made but just as they were ready to start Katy was seized with pneumonia and died, disappearing from the world just as suddenly as when a child chasing butterflies on Elk Creek. Lovingly the dust of Katy Sage was buried by her brothers Samuel and Charles under the skies of the western plains. Books written abut Cary Sage include: Yourowquains: A Wyandot Indian Queen: The Story of Caty Sage by Bill Bland; The Saga of Caty Sage by Jerry L. Haynes; The Legend of Caty Sage by Ellie Kirby, which is a children’s book. The Ballad of Caty Sage by J.C. Pierce can be heard on YouTube. There are many historical records and family trees online that trace back to Caty Sage.

From the Bench ( continued from page 1 0)

Watson, Mo., in the extreme northwest corner of the state (Watson makes my hometown of Eagleville seem like a major metropolitan area!). Justice Fischer says the population sign count of 100 “must include some livestock.” He has risen to the highest ranking judicial officer in the entire state – so, kids, you can be anything you want to be! I also want to mention the efforts of my friend and colleague, Judge Tom Chapman. Judge Chapman now serves as our Presiding Circuit Judge. In addition to his regular duties, he works with our county officials developing budgets for the Circuit Clerks, Courts, Sheriff’s Departments, and Juvenile Office. Judge Chapman constantly strives to improve our efficiency while making the best use of our tax dollars. His is a very stressful, thankless position for which he receives no additional remuneration. If you get the chance – tell him thank you – he deserves it.

A Polar Bear’s Tale

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

Chapter Four: What name could they give the cub before he set out into the world to meet his future? The school children in Point Lay had heard about the cub and were able to see him when he was brought to the village. A teacher even provided a large dog crate for the cub’s transport. It was the school children who suggested the bear cub be named after their village: Kali. “Kali,” pronounced “Cully,” means mound and is the Inupiaq name for their village. It was decided. The polar bear cub had a name. The next day, Kali was flown to the town of Barrow from Point Lay. The 18-pound cub arrived in the teacher’s dog crate with a little dish of water. Kali had not had anything to eat since he’d been rescued from the den. With Kali’s mother gone, the veterinarian would have to find something to replace her fatty polar bear milk, so he could continue to grow big and strong. The veterinarian offered Kali a mix of seal blubber and muktuk, a traditional Inupiaq meal of whale skin and whale blubber. The bear sniffed the doctor’s offerings, but would not eat it. She’d have to try something else. The veterinarian began blending a concoction of distilled water, an electrolyte solution, dog-milk substitute, and half and half. She scooped Kali up and offered him the mixture in a bottle. The little bear licked the offering a few times and then began to drink. The doctor was overjoyed! The most important part of raising any baby is getting it to eat. This is particularly important for a polar bear. The Alaskan Arctic can reach temperatures well below zero degrees Fahrenheit on an average winter day, making the land inhospitable to most mammal species. But polar bears thrive here. They’re made for it. Polar bears are equipped to handle the cold, arctic weather in several ways. One adaptation is the 4.5inch layer of fat that surrounds their bodies. The blubber keeps them warm, and helps them float while swimming and provides fat reserves to live off when food is scarce.

Kali would start building his blubber layer drinking the milk mixture. Wild, adult bears maintain their fat levels by eating seals. The veterinarian of the North Slope Borough found it hard to picture Kali as a large, fearsome predator. The ball of white fuzz drinking from a bottle didn’t exactly look like a master of the Arctic world. Now that she had found a winning formula, Kali could grow strong enough for his next journey.

Ask Zoo Keeper Julie How do polar bears find food? Polar bears have a very acute sense of smell and can smell a seal from more than half a mile away and 3 feet under snow.

Are all polar bears white? Even though polar bears look white, a polar bear’s fur is made of clear, hollow tubes filled with air. They have black skin under their coat, which might help them soak up the Sun’s rays and keep warm.

Memories of the Tuggle house… y

u

an

On Jan. 6 an old farmhouse burned down in Daviess County. The “Tuggle” house, located about two miles southwest of Gallatin, had been unoccupied for years; still, it held many fond memories for the family, noted Dick Paul, and was one of the last tangible links to their heritage and ancestry. “When we learned of its loss through the fire, we were devastated,” he says. Dick, along with his sisters Margaret Lowe and Janet Vaughn, compiled some historical notes about the house to share with the community. Their great-grandparents (James and Victoria Tuggle), grandfather and grandmother (Floyd and Helen Tuggle), and their mother and aunt, (Jane Ann and Virginia), all lived in the house at one time. Dick, Margaret and Janet and their families, along with their aunt Virginia and her family, most recently paid a visit to the house after Bob Paul’s burial in March 2012, and again after Jane Ann Paul’s burial in February 2017. Both are buried in Hillcrest Cemetery. “Standing there in the driveway, we re-lived many fond visits to the farm and were able to tell our children about some of our memories,” Dick says. “It is still somewhat emotional for all of us when we think of the sudden and unexpected loss of this cherished part of our family history.” Below are a few family narratives about the house.

Margaret Lowe’s story: (M ar gar et l ive s in B el l evu e, W ash . H er b r oth er , D ick P aul , al so l ive s in B el l evu e. H er si st er , Ja net V augh n, l ive s in N or th R eading, M ass. T h ey ar e th e ch il dr en of Ja ne A nn and B ob P aul . )

James Tuggle, one of the founders of the First National Bank (now Farmers Bank) in 1901, built the house somewhere between 1890 and 1900. It was a grand two-story house with a front porch which extended around the front half of the house. The steps to the full dirtfloor basement were inside the house just off the kitchen. The iron vases on each side of the walk leading to the front door were purchased in 1904 from an iron works company in Muncie, Ind. The ceilings were 12 feet high and the doors, floors, baseboards, and crown molding were solid walnut. The sun porch on the second floor was eventually screened in and Jane Ann (Tuggle) Paul and her sister, Virginia, slept there on hot summer nights. The upstairs bathroom had a claw foot bath tub, a free standing porcelain sink, and a tile floor. Every room had wallpaper. The original electric chandeliers in the parlor and drawing room were still in the house at the time of the fire. Originally there was an ice house close to the kitchen door and a large chicken coop nearby. Over the years, other outbuildings were erected. Three generations of the Tuggle family lived in the house. Those three generations were: James and Victoria Tuggle, their son Floyd Tuggle and his wife Helen, and Floyd and Helen’s daughters, Jane Ann and Virginia.

Upon James Tuggle’s death (he died on the kitchen table during an operation for appendicitis), Floyd and his wife, Helen, moved into the house and raised their children, James, Jane Ann, and Virginia. When Floyd and Helen moved from the farm to Gallatin, their farm manager and his wife (Bub and Vera Warden) lived and raised their children in the house. Later the house was rented to various tenants, and for the last few years, it remained vacant. Charlie and Peggy Belshe managed the farm from 1969 to 1997. Charlie’s son Larry Belshe and his wife Lana started managing the farm in 1997. Larry and his brother Steve started farming one tract of the Tuggle farm in 1973 and another tract around 2000.

quarter of section 30 was still in timber, which father proceeded to clear off and put in cultivation. I am not sure but I think father moved an old school house over to just west of where the tenant house now stands and we lived in the old school house while the present home was being built. A contractor by the name of Weston built the house. I think I heard father say it cost $1,800. It had five rooms on the first floor and three rooms and an attic above, with the basement under the dining room. It was one of the nicest houses of that day. As soon as the house was completed, we

moved in and used the old school house for the hired man, as father always kept a hired hand year round. Father was a cattle and hog feeder. He converted the cocklebur field into a timothy meadow for hay for horses and cattle. We kept six or eight horses to farm with and raised colts, mostly mules, which father would break to work and then sell.

About 1889, father (James) and his brother George bought the farm which we now own located about two miles southwest of the square in Gallatin and moved on it. Father later bought Uncle George’s interest. It was known as the Smoot farm and was comprised of approximately 348 acres. The farm was rundown and I can remember the farming land which lay northeast of the present house was so thin it would only grow cockleburs about six inches high and was thickly covered with the burrs.

or midwife from Coffey to assist with the birth. We knew her as Auntie Dugger. Our house was nice. While many (or most) farm houses used kerosene lamps, we had electric lights made possible with a Delco (battery powered) system. We also had running water and toilets — many had outdoor toilets. I remember for awhile we had a pump mounted on the counter in the kitchen to get our water for kitchen use. I’m not sure how it worked, but I think rain water was collected in a cistern which was our source of water. I do not remember what we used for drinking water. As I was growing up, I did not realize that all farmhouses did not have these luxuries. I remember my dad milked cows and there were crocks on the back porch (which had no heat) where the milk was kept. Cream rose to the top of the crock which we skimmed off with a ladle for our cereal. I don’t remember where the milk was kept in warm weather. When milk pasteurizers were invented we pasteurized our milk. We had a large screened-in sleeping porch where all of us slept in hot weather — no air conditioning.
