M M M M 911 purchases battery backup, LED lights

Floods threaten

Daviess County Emergency Management received a call for the rescue of a man atop a car on Route M in southeast Daviess County on Monday, Oct. 8. The man, however, was able to exit and was standing on the side of the road when emergency responders arrived. This picture of the car, visible in the receding flood water, was taken by Pat Huffman who lives nearby. Pat’s video of the floodwaters over Route M, posted on the social media pages of both this newspaper and Pat, has garnered over 18,000 views. Water no longer flowed over Route M by Tuesday morning, but the warning signs are still there ...as more rain continues to fall locally. Read more on rainfall in story on page 15.

Daviess County Central 911 agreed to purchase and install a GE battery backup system for the failed system and to replace the lighting with an LED system during a meeting of the 911 Board held Aug. 30. The decision came after Supervisor Dana Carder informed the board of a recent power failure that happened when the battery backup failed to perform properly, causing power surges that damaged all the light fixtures in the office. The battery backup was designed to run in conjunction with the generator, but when it failed

Gallatin couple arrested, stolen property seized Johnny Rainey, 44, and Amanda Rainey, 35, Gallatin, were arrested Oct. 7 following the execution of a search warrant at their residence at 1101 South Willow Street. They have each been charged with stealing $750 or more and possession of controlled substance, both D felonies, and misdemeanors of identity theft, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. In video-recorded interrogations, Johnny Rainey admitted to knowingly possessing stolen property at his residence, according to the probable cause statement prepared by Deputy Larry Adams. Amanda Rainey admitted to possessing a stolen credit card for the purpose of gaining unlawful access to the victim’s online banking. According to Deputy Adams, stolen items from at least five Gallatin residences were seized. He said that the thefts would have occurred from June 2018 until just prior to the executed search warrant. Deputy Adams also indicated that extensive investigation of this case will be conducted. Stolen items which were taken into evidence

include a gas heater, space heater, infrared heater, computer printer, basket and household goods, chainsaw, wooden hope chest, bolt cutters, work light, impact drill, complete bed system with headboard, weed eater, push mower, jewelry box, child rocking chair, a GE washer, three stolen credit cards, a personal check and other miscellaneous items. According to Deputy Adams, additional items were seized, but are not listed at this time. According to Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards, the Gallatin Police Department and the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department had been working on separate investigations which ultimately identified the same suspects in multiple cases. The police department recovered evidence related to approximately seven ongoing burglary/theft investigations which they had been working on. The search warrant was executed by the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department, Gallatin Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Joe Jump Eatery & Smokehouse to open in Gallatin early next month A new restaurant will be opening in Gallatin in early November in the building formerly occupied by Cycles at 200 Park Street. Tim and Stephanie Champagne, owners, say Joe Jump Eatery and Smokehouse will focus on farm-to-table dishes, always fresh, never frozen. A variety of family-style meals will be included, from steaks to baked chicken. Favorite barbecues, like smokehouse ribs, sausages and burnt ends, will also be on the menu; but the Smokehouse will not serve exclusively barbecue. “We’ll have good home-cooking, feel-good type meals,” the Champagnes say. The goal for this fall is to open the main part of the building. By next spring a sports bar area with TV is slated for another section of the building. Catering and private parties will be offered as well. The name of the restaurant —

Joe Jump — was chosen for its connection to the town’s past. “We wanted to tie the theme of the restaurant to local history,” the Champagne say. “We read up on the history of the Gallatin area and thought Joe Jump would be a catchy name.” Joe Jump was the name of one of two men hanged in Gallatin’s first (and certainly the last) execution. Joe Jump and John Smith murdered William Gladson in 1885. Smith was hanged two weeks after Jump. These hangings were among the last conducted in Missouri. Light interior work is being done on the building and some outside painting. Mr. Champagne grew up in Michigan, took his culinary studies at Oakland, MI, and his internships in Makinac Island, IA. He now lives in Shawnee, KS. Tim has worked on-and-off in several restaurants through the years, though the past 20 years

to perform properly, the generator also failed to perform. All 911 equipment and radios were down for about two to three hours due to the failures. However, none of the office equipment suffered any known damage. It was determined the battery backup for the 911 office had reached its end-of-life. It was originally installed in 1996. It has had several failures recently, and it no longer had the capacity to handle the electrical load in the event of a power failure. Supervisor Carder informed the board that a Ferrups system could be installed with a 30-40% larger capacity and three to four points of power protection at a cost of approximately $9,200. It had four batteries which would have to be replaced every three to four years. A GE system could be installed with a 40-45% larger capacity and nine points of power protection at a cost of approximately $7,200. It had six batteries, smaller in size, but at the

same cost of four larger batteries, which would also have to be replaced every three to four years. Supervisor Carder also advised the office light fixtures could be replaced with LED units at a cost of approximately $300. After discussion, the board carried a motion to have McBroom Service Company purchase and install the GE battery backup (continued on page 7)

Hernandez arrested

Sal Hernandez, owner of Mi Mexico Restaurant in Gallatin, was arrested last night, Oct. 9, and is in custody at DaviessDeKalb County Regional Jail on a 24-hour hold. A probable cause statement has been submitted to the Daviess County Prosecutor, and charges are pending. Watch NorthMissourian.com and the North Missourian Facebook page for more information as the story unfolds. A report will be in next week’s edition of the North Missourian.

2 grants fund improvements at Active Aging Center Daviess County Active Aging Resource Center in Gallatin was recently awarded two grants to build a storage area and add an updated beverage station. One grant was from Summit Natural Gas Community Sponsorship Program for $500 and the other grant was from MFA Oil Foundation for $545. Construction work was done by Ferman Hostetler, who donated labor and some of the materials. The stainless steel countertop was made by Landmark Manufacturing Corporation and the base cabinets were purchased from Gallatin Lumber Company. The improvements made by the re-model project at the Active Aging Center are two-fold, noted Administrator Deanna Lewis. First, aesthetically, the Center’s beverage sta-

tion is visibly improved, but more importantly creates a safer, less congested area more compatible to older adults. The former beverage station was serviceable, but the design was not as responsive to the needs of the clients. The new design and furniture allows for better flow and less risk of “traffic jam” for clients and staff during meal service. Secondly, a new storage area conceals canned food and consumable supply inventory from clients. The storage area houses shelving and can racks which will ensure more accurate inventory counts. The big picture is that these improvements create a safer environment for older adults. “We are so very thankful to Summit Natural Gas and MFA Oil for supporting our Center with these grants,” Mrs. Lewis says.

OPINION

Oct. 10, 2018

No work, no pay by Freida Marie Crump

No, not a ‘slave mansion’ The discussion about the “Slave Mansion” has taken an entirely unanticipated direction. The past two weeks we’ve shared photos and information about a landmark farm home west of Kidder which no longer exists. Initial inquiries requested an explanation on whether folklore about the P.S. Kenney house was true. As is often the case, the answer is no ...at least concerning slaves and the cupola atop the house as a lookout to guard property (including slaves) against Jayhawkers. A Kidder history book states that the large 2-story frame house was built by Patrick S. Kenney in the mid-1870s which, obviously, is after the Emancipation Proclamation was announced during the Civil War. But, again, as often is the case, facts can prove to be even more intriguing than folklore. Did you know that the farm house is at the center of an 1885 murder that remains unsolved to this day? Let’s reset the scene. Until the Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad was the westernmost train in the nation. This track was laid near the Kenney Mansion, the railroad being the catalyst for the creation of Kidder as was reported last week. Kenney, a former officer in the Missouri State Militia during the war years and a judge elected to serve Caldwell County, borrowed money from the Gallatin Savings Bank to acquire some 1,200 acres. He and his wife, Elizabeth, built a home described as baronial in appearance. A description of the Kenney Mansion in detail is featured in

the Kidder History Book. The 44x40 house was the work of a skilled architect, featuring walnut and cherry wood. Floors were soundproof with cement between double flooring. Four fireplaces, wide hallways bisecting 10 rooms (running both eastwest and north-south), and a roof of 10 gauge tin (crimped to fit) were prominent features.

Greetings from Poosey. You can talk about your adventures and thrills of a lifetime all you want, but until you’ve stood knee deep in clover hay atop a barn hay mow at 110 degrees and you get blindsided by a 90-pound hay bale dropping 12 feet off the end of John Deere elevator, you just haven’t lived. Some things make a lasting impression, if not on your mind then at least on the back of your head. It was the first time I’d been involved in a full-blown labor dispute. Summertime found the kids in our neighborhood supplied with all the work we wanted as the individual hay bales were still the rule and the gigantic machine-wrapped behemoths hadn’t yet come to the farm. If you could buck a bale you were guaranteed work all the way through the last cutting of the summer’s hay. There were four of us on our little hay crew and we’d farm ourselves out to whoever needed help on any particular afternoon. The bulk of our employment, however, came from a guy named Jack. Jack owned his own baler and he pretty much spent the entire season in one farmer’s hayfield or another. Jack could be a genuine grouch at times but he was usually so ridiculous in his complaining that we laughed instead of quit. It was all friendly and agreeable until the day of the big salary blowup. Jack paid us $1.25 an hour, pretty much the standard rate in those days, and he never cheated us in any way. But then came that day when we heard about the “per bale” boys in the next county. We’d heard rumors but I never knew for certain until I attended a family reunion where my cousin Mark said that the kids in his neighborhood were being paid two cents a bale. This may sound piddling, but even with my meager math skills I could quickly figure that his was more than we were getting while being paid by the hour. So, one afternoon as we were tucking the last bales into a barn our little quartet marched up to Jack sitting on his tractor and told him that we’d like to be paid by the bale. You’d have thought we’d just asked for his first-born child. Jack frowned. Jack spit. Jack spat out a few profanities and told us that was just too much. That’s when my brother hitched up his 14-yearold courage and told Jack that it was two cents a bale or nothing. Quick cut to the end of the story: Jack paid up. In fact, he not only paid the new wage but he found that when he wrote his bunch of rowdies a check for what they’d actually done instead of how many hours they’d spent on the job, that we worked harder. Wouldn’t you? No more purposely slowing down on the last load of the day just to stretch out our hourly wage. Now we’d holler, “More hay!” as the nickels and dimes would click up in our calculating brains. I thought about these hay-filled days last week as I watched a congressional committee in action ... and I use the term “action” as loosely as a load of poorly stacked alfalfa hay. A senate committee met for four days one week to “investigate” a matter on which every single senator had already decided how he or she should vote. The cost of running Congress for a single day varies widely but $33 million is a widely accepted figure. That means they spent $132 million on an issue for which the outcome was already decided. The cure? Just look to the hay field and start paying the members of Congress for what they actually accomplish instead of the time they spend. When the summer rains drowned out a day of bucking bales we didn’t get paid, so why are we paying members of Congress for not lifting a bale? Sometimes the baler would snatch up a log or large rock instead of the intended hay so we’d have to sit while Jack called the mechanic. Again, no work, no pay. Congress has been in a state of constant breakdown for the past two years but we continue to pay them as if they were working. Know any other occupation that gets a salary for accomplishing nothing? In fact, if we truly kept track of what our Senate and House of Representatives get done then I’ve a notion that they would actually owe us money. Sounds like a good way to decrease the national debt: charge Congress for the harm they’ve done. I know four former bale buckers who realize that in order to get paid you have to earn it. None of us are in Congress at the moment. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

$300 fine. Then Isaac Hemry filed a $10,000 civil lawsuit against Kenney. On Aug. 30, 1885, Isaac Hemry was murdered. The Gallatin Bank offered a $1,000 reward for the arrest leading to the conviction of the culprit of the crime. Detectives from Des Moines were set upon the investigation. Arrests were made, including the arrest of Isaac Hemry’s own son, Grant Hemry, for the murder. But in all legal proceedings which followed, evidence proved insufficient. No one was convicted of what is described as one of the most cold-blooded and outrageous crimes ever committed in this part of the state.

Fitzgerald is also in the Kenney Cemetery. Before the railroad it used to be a stage line through there. Somewhere along 1950-1980 Roy Underwood and Edel Sigmen came from Brush County and owned or ran the farm for quite a few years. Rex Underwood, a son of Roy, was killed in a car wreck in Cameron as I remember. They were the ones that tore the house down. I heard the staircase was made of cherry wood. My parents owned the farm where the Kidder Cemetery is (and they are buried there). A lady by the name of Coffee donated the land for the cemetery and built the square house (east) in 1900. My father was William Mark Fitzgerald. My husband Gerald and I farmed in Daviess County, from 1954, for 57 years. I sold the farm on Hwy. 6 north of Winston to my cousin’s son, Sean Fitzgerald of Osborn.

The shifting agenda of Missouri’s GOP

Like the national Republican Party, Missouri’s GOP has flipped on what had been major GOP themes when I began as a Missouri statehouse reporter nearly four decades ago. Back then, in the aftermath of the administration of Democratic Gov. Warren Hearnes, Republicans led the charge to expand the state’s Merit System that protects state government workers from favoritism in hiring, firing or promotion. The state’s tax-collection agency, the Revenue Department, was a major focus of that GOP effort. I got an insight into this issue shortly after Republican Gov. Kit Bond took office. His Revenue Department director, Jim Spradling, showed me a box he found in his office that contained hundreds of index cards divided into two sets. Each red card had a person’s name and a sequential number. Each blue card had different person’s name and a sequential number that matched a red-card number. Spradling said a hold-over staffer told him that the cards came from the lieutenant governor who controlled a block of patronage jobs in the Revenue Department. When the lieutenant governor wanted to replace one of those positions, he sent the Revenue Department director two cards. The red card designated the employee to be fired. The blue card contained the re-

placement’s name. For years, Republicans unsuccessfully fought to win approval from the Democratic-controlled legislature to expand the Merit System. But in the closing days of this year’s legislative session there was a sudden reversal when Republican lawmakers passed a measure repealing the Merit System for major portions of state government. Republicans argued the system was burden- by Phill some to effective manroo s agement of personnel. It was an example of a major shift I’ve seen in how the GOP interprets government “reform.” An example of the shifting definition of “reform” arose in response to voter approval on limits to how much a source could contribute to a candidate. Fourteen years later, Republican legislators repealed the limits — although two years ago, Missouri voters reinstated them. There is, however, another side to this “reform” issue. Republicans argued campaign contribution limits make funding less transparent because special interests found legal loopholes to transfer large amounts of money to their favored candidates with-

out disclosure. They’ve got a point. Under campaign contribution limits, I found campaign finance reports less informative in identifying special interests backing candidates. So, in a way, removing limits on campaign contributions does echo that earlier goal of Republicans for openness in government. But for other proclaimed “reform” issues of the current era, Republicans have been a force of resistance. For example, it’s been Republicans in the Senate who have obstructed efforts to impose severe limits on lobbyist gifts to public officials. Another issue involves “dark money” spent by organizations completely exempt from any disclosure requirements for the millions of dollars they spend on behalf of politicians. Former Republican Gov. Eric Greitens took the use of dark money to new heights with the secret funding for his advocacy organization. Legislation to require disclosure of dark money went nowhere in Missouri’s GOP-controlled General Assembly. That is in direct contrast to the 1970s when disclosure and openness was a Republican mantra. Back then, Republican Gov. Bond

Capitol Perspectives

pushed for a “Sunshine” law to assure public access to government meetings and records. His communications staff became key allies for reporters when we encountered information barriers from state agencies. More than once, I sat in the office of the governor’s spokesperson when he called an agency official ordering compliance with my information request that had been blocked. Greitens, on the other hand, put a passcode-protected lock on the door reporters so often could enter to talk directly with top staff. His staff even used a cell-phone app to delete their text messages. Of course, in those earlier decades Democrats controlled the legislature, even when Republicans held the governorship. Maybe today’s Republican legislative dominance is part of the explanation for Republican shift. As an aside, the GOP shift about “reform” is the reason I always taught my journalism students to avoid the word “reform” in a story unless in quotes. In politics, “reform” has become almost a meaningless term — maybe a sin I’ve committed in this column.

trict map at house.mo.gov/billtracking/maps/house.pdf. In 2020, there will be another census. Shortly thereafter another round of redistricting will occur. Amendment 1’s prime purpose is to change how the new districts will be drawn. It would replace the bi-partisan panel with a single person (a demographer) to draw the districts. That person would be a nominee hand-picked by the State Auditor, and the demographer’s job would be to draw up districts that are as 50/50 Republican/Democrat as possible even if that meant the districts would be oddly shaped and ignore county lines. Several concerns have been brought up about Amendment 1. First would be the political bias of the demographer. Whether the demographer is a Republican or Democrat, they would be tempted to draw the borders to favor their party, or at least be accused of that. The demographer is supposed to be independent of party, but finding a politically aware yet truly uncommitted person this day and age is like trying to find a bigfoot riding a unicorn. Secondly, the demographer would be nominated by the State Auditor instead of the Secretary of State who normally handles election matters. Again, political bias may come into play. And thirdly, Missourians tend to live in areas with other likeminded Missourians, with Democrats concentrating in the urban areas, and Republicans mostly in the suburban and rural areas. To draw a district with an equal

Missouri citizens have a rare opportunity this November to make a real difference in our political process. Amendment 1, also known as the “Clean Missouri” initiative, addresses a number of current political abuses in our state. It places a waiting period on former legislators who want to be lobbyists; it limits lobbyists’ gifts and entertainment expenditures on behalf of House and Senate members; it brings ‘dark’ independent candidate contributions into public light; and, in my opinion, most importantly, changes the way House and Senate Districts are redrawn every 10 years. As people may remember, I was elected to six terms in the Missouri House of Representatives. Both before my time in the House and during my time there, I was involved in the process of re-districting. I began as a participant in this particular process as one of the appointed Democrat Citizen Commissioners and later as a member of the House. I saw what happens behind closed doors. The drawing of new lines every 10 years is mandated by law to balance the number of citizens in each district according to population changes as identified by the new census. But, the current redistricting process is buried deep in the bowels of partisan politics. It has been a hidden mystery to the public for too long. Members of the current redistricting process are told by their respective political parties to seek maximum advantage for their respective political parties. The goal is to protect incumbents. And to draw districts that favor a candidate of one party over the other. Very seldom did politicians come to us and say “Please don’t split this county, or please don’t split this township.” They just asked us to move lines to make their primary and general elections easier. It was all about their re-election — all of it. Half of our state legislative races under the current maps have had only one major party candidate — Republican or Democrat — on the ballot. More than 90% of races aren’t competitive at all. Amendment 1 has clear and transparent criteria to ensure more fairness and competitiveness, and ensure neither party is given an unfair advantage. No longer will politicians from either party be able to be protected in gerrymandered districts. It is time to bring this process into the open — with public participation, a new purpose, and a fair and open process on behalf of the public — not incumbent politicians and political party advantage. That’s why I’m supporting Amendment 1 to clean up Missouri politics.

by S t at e R ep. J . E g g l es t o n ( R )

Amendment 1 encompasses numerous subjects from lobbyist gifts to campaign finance and “revolving door” (when former legislators can become lobbyists). But the prime intent of Amendment 1 concerns redistricting. First, some background information. Our state is chopped up into 163 state House of Representatives districts and 34 State Senate districts. Per our constitution, each district must be contiguous (all one piece), compact (not some squiggly weird shape), and be home to about the same number of citizens. Based on the population of our last census, each House district contains about 37,000 Missourians and each Senate district is about 117,000. My House district is nicely drawn right on the county lines of Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, and Harrison Counties. Some more densely populated districts contain only one county, a part of a county, or parts of several adjacent counties, but are usually drawn as a compact chunk. The locations of the district borders are always a point of political contention since these borders can be cleverly drawn to minimize the influence of one party or another. To make sure the districts are drawn fairly, a panel of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans get together after each census to decide where the borders will be. If they cannot come to an agreement, a panel of elected judges is convened to decide. You can find the current dis-

number of citizens of both parties would mean the district that contains, say, Eagleville, would have to be very narrow and reach down into Kansas City. The district maps would look like the spokes of a wagon wheel, with the hubs being the cores of KC and St. Louis. Instead of eliminating gerrymandering, Amendment 1 would seem to create it. So, who is pushing Amendment 1? It is an outfit that calls itself Clean Missouri. If you look behind the curtain, you will find Clean Missouri is funded and run by George Soros, Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, and other politically involved out-of-state special interest groups of the more leftleaning persuasion. The inside politics opinion is that Amendment 1 is a plan to make Missouri’s legislature include more urban members and fewer rural ones. Some parts of Amendment 1 are far less controversial, but may be unnecessary. The lobbyist gift ban has been passed by the Missouri House the last few years, but has been held up by a few senators who are now termed out. I foresee us taking up and passing the lobbyist gift ban next session. We have already passed a revolving door bill forbidding former legislators from becoming lobbyists for at least one session, and voters have already imposed campaign finance limitations nearly identical to those in Amendment 1. The slight tweaks this measure makes to these items appear to be the bait to tempt voters to bite on the redistricting changes.

Tai chi classes offered at county health office soon TAI CHI Classes are being offered at the Daviess County Health Department, 609 A South Main in Gallatin, every Thursday evening starting Nov. 1, from 6 to 7 p.m. Class time is for 12 weeks, NO COST for classes. Must have a minimum of three people to hold the classes. Please contact: Kristie Smith, R.N., or Debbie Gatton, LPN, at 660-663-2414 if you are interested in attending. How does it work? Medical authorities agree that suitable exercise for people with arthritis should incorporate components that can improve muscular strength, flexibility, and fitness. Increased muscular strength supports and protects joints, which will reduce pain. Flexibility exercises also help to reduce pain and stiffness, thus improving mobility. Stamina or fitness is important for overall health and proper function of your heart, lungs and muscles. Chi for Arthritis helps people with arthritis to improve all these and more. It improves balance both mentally and physically thus significantly reduces the rate of fall of the older adults. Additional benefits include improving relaxation, vitality, posture, and immunity. For people with or without arthritis, Tai Chi for Arthritis is a good way to start your journey to better health. It is an enjoyable and safe set of forms (movements) which delivers many health benefits.

Missouri receives REAL ID extension Missourians will be able to use their Missouri-issued identification cards to fly domestically and visit federal installations until August of 2019. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently granted an extension to the state that will allow existing Missouri driver licenses and identification cards to be accepted by federal agencies until Aug. 1 of next year.

The grace period that was previously extended by DHS had been set to expire in January of 2019. Missouri requested an additional extension in order to have time to make new REAL ID-compliant licenses available. The state anticipates having the new driver licenses ready by March of 2019, so the extension until August will ensure Missourians are able to travel without interruption.

Bulldogs ‘slip up’ in 16-7 GRC loss to Wildcats Gallatin’s Friday night showdown with Milan had a lot in common with the Gallatin-South Harrison game the week before … but this time Gallatin found itself on the other side of the equation. Milan scored the game’s final 17 points, including 10 off Bulldog mistakes, to claim sole possession of the GRC East Division lead with only two games remaining. But all is not lost for Gallatin. Gallatin, one of three teams with only one league loss, must win out, beginning this Friday against defending league champion Princeton, which is one of those one-loss teams. Milan will have to be on top of its game this week to defeat South Harrison, the third one-loss club. Field conditions and field position played big roles in Gallatin’s demise. The Bulldogs’ lone offensive success came early, before mud and loose turf prevented them from duplicating a scoring drive. Drayton Harris connected with Ross Critten for a 20-yard scoring pass and Adrian Hernandez added the extra point for a 7-0 GHS lead that stood up until the third quarter.

an overthrow on a fourth down play. Two minutes later, following a Bulldog fumble, Ayden Wayne intercepted a pass on Gallatin’s 4 yard line and took it out to the 13. A penalty for intentional grounding out of the end zone led to a Wildcat safety and started a chain of events that would quickly put the Bulldogs behind the eight ball. Working with a short field following Tristen Gibson’s punt, Milan immediately took the lead with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Shaw to Ryan Dabney. Jamuel Pagan ran in the two point conversion to give the Wildcats a 10-2 lead. Two minutes later, Shaw intercepted a Bulldog pass and returned it 40 yards for an insurance score. Even with a full quarter to play, neither team

could make another dent in the scoreboard. Gallatin’s most promising drive, with six minutes left to play, ended on a fumble after a 31-yard run by Graydee Rains set the Bulldogs up on the Wildcat 37. Freshman quarterback Brinley Vandiver came on late to try to ignite Gallatin’s passing game but the game was out of reach. The Bulldogs were able to stuff Milan’s vaunted running game but could do little on the ground themselves, gaining only 110 yards on the sloppy turf. Rains led the attack with 89 yards on 15 carries. Princeton invades Bulldog Field this Friday on a 3-game winning streak since a Sept. 14 loss to Milan. Senior Night activities will be held.

After tough loss, Missouri faces No. 1 Alabama b y B enj a m in Herrol d After a deflating 37-35 loss at South Carolina Saturday, all Missouri has to do now is go on the road again to play one of the most storied programs of all time, playing at or near the peak of its powers. First, let’s talk about last Saturday, if we must. Missouri (3-2, 0-2 in SEC) seemed to outplay South Carolina for much of the game, leading by nine at the half and outgaining the Gamecocks (3-2, 2-2 in SEC) by more than a hundred yards. But there were too many mistakes and bizarre turns of events. A miscommunication that led to the Tigers trying an onside kick that gave South Carolina life after Missouri dominated early. Field goals instead of touchdowns when the Tigers got close to the goal line in the first half. A long Missouri touchdown run called back on a razor-thin replay decision. A short field goal missed during a deluge of rain. Then, in a masterpiece of bad timing, there was over an hour lightning delay with two minutes left and Missouri driving, down two. Despite all that, Missouri took a lead when Tucker McCann boomed a 57-yard (!) field goal to take the lead. But the Tigers had failed to burn the remaining time on the clock, so South Carolina simply drove down and kicked the game-winning field goal, seemingly as easy as you might

walk out to get the mail. It was a brutal loss, because in a pivotal game for the season Missouri played well enough to win but couldn’t. Quarterback Drew Lock struggled in the second half as the rains fell and South Carolina clamped down on defense. The struggles included a crushing interception returned for a touchdown. It was also a tough loss because now Missouri goes on the road to play No. 1-ranked Alabama (6 p.m. on ESPN). In the 1926 Rose Bowl, Alabama was playing Washington, trying to show football teams

from the Southeast were legitimate. Alabama trailed 12-0 at the half, and Coach Wallace Wade walked into the locker room and simply said, “They told me boys from the South would fight,” and walked out. The Crimson Tide roared back to win 20-19, and they still sing about that game in their fight song. They’ve more or less been a national power ever since., and now so many people are named after legendary coach Bear Bryant that they have reunions in Tuscaloosa. Even by Alabama standards, the program is on an historic run of dominance under coach Nick

Saban, five national titles in nine years, and they’re going for another with the breathtaking Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. Missouri is a huge underdog Saturday. But they have an offense that can be explosive, and the Tide did give up 31 points to Arkansas last week. Lots of Tiger fans will be making the trip to Tuscaloosa, as it’s a tremendous scene and Missouri only plays there every 12 years, thanks to the ridiculous SEC schedule rotation. It’s also a chance to see how the Tigers measure up against the nation’s best.

Oct. 8 , 2 0 0 8 BTC Bank recently presented $20,000 to the Daviess County Library to be used toward renovation of the library. The improvements include some areas receiving an exterior finish similar to the synthetic stucco finish that was applied when the building was renovated in 1995, new metal coping installed on parapet entrances and larger, bolder signage on the east side of the building. Kale Hefley and Sydney Elbert reigned as king and queen during the Gallatin High School 2008 Homecoming festivities last weekend. The Bulldogs suffered a 33-14 loss to Princeton on Friday night. Princeton remains unbeaten in the GRC at 6-0. Ruth (Snyder) Hibler, a native of Altamont in Daviess County, celebrated her 101st birthday on Sept. 30. Mrs. Hibler graduated from Altamont High School in 1926. She now resides in Fayetteville, Ark. Oct. 7 , 1998 The storm that struck Sunday evening was hit and miss for farms and towns throughout the area. The Dunnington farm about three miles south of Gallatin was hard hit with downed trees and damaged barns. High winds gusting up to 70 miles per hour destroyed a large metal building on Highway 190 south of Jamesport; extensive damage to grain bins on the Darrell Critten farm on Rt. O southeast of Gallatin; over 1,500 square feet of the roof at the North Daviess R-3 School at Jameson was damaged. Contracts were signed Oct. 2, and a $1,830,000 check was presented by the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development to begin Phase Two of the Daviess County Water Distribution System, Daviess County Public Supply District #2. Thirteen miles of water lines have been laid from Coffey east on Rt. B and then south on Rt. K. A water tower has been built at the routes of K and B conjunction. Oct. 12 , 198 8 The effort to finance the construction of grass greens at the Daviess County Country Club has accumulated over $54,000 in pledges toward the announced goal of $80,000. Project organizers say fundraising must conclude this weekend if grass greens are to be ready for use next summer. The walls of a now vacant building off the northwest corner of the square in Gallatin are coming down. Model Cleaners was the last business to open from this location, though a number of businesses operated there, including the Gallatin North Missourian. Roy Galpin recalls in 1908 when he ventured into this building to claim a pair of

Oct. 11, 197 8 Long overdue recognition came to Frank and Aline Thompson last Wednesday night when the Gallatin Lions Club presented them with the club’s first annual “Outstanding Citizens” award. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson own and operate the John Deere agency here. Awaiting the announcement of this year’s Homecoming King and Queen are candidates: freshmen Bruce Focht and Michelle Patrick; sophomores Anita Weaver and Ernest Parker; juniors Penney Swofford and Larry Maddox; seniors Alison Worley and Mark Frost; and student council candidates Susan Snyder and Scott Watson. Oct. 10 , 196 8 Master Sergeant Richard A. Nuckolls, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. McComas of Rt. 3, Pattonsburg, received the United States Air Force Commendation Medal and his USAF Certificate of Retirement at the Air Force Finance Center, Denver. The sergeant, a veteran of 21 years, served during the Korean War. He attended Bethany High School and is married to the former Betty L. Clayton. Robert Drummond of Jameson has been retained as a member of the CMSC “Marching Mules” band. A senior at CMSC, Robert is in his fourth year with the Marching Mules, and plays the sousaphone. The R-5 school board has approved a plan to initiate a kindergarten in the school system and is also advertising bids this week for a two-room addition to the north end of the elementary building. Mrs. Carleton (Jean) Lee, Gallatin, has been employed by the board as kindergarten teacher. Oct. 9, 1958 Gallatin shut out Grant City Friday night, 21 to 0, with Steve Tate scoring twice and Larry Hill once. The Bulldogs face their biggest test of the season tomorrow night when they journey south to their arch rivals, the Hornets of Hamilton. It is generally conceded around the conference that Hamilton and Cameron are the two powerhouse teams this year. In addition to the new four-way stop at the southeast corner of the square, the highway department has erected no parking signs near the corners of intersections in the Gallatin business district. New 35-mile-per-hour speed limit signs have also been erected from the square south on 13. Oct. 7 , 194 8 Construction on the more than 500 miles of REA lines in Daviess County is moving along, but only enough wire will be avail-

able to finish lines in the south part of the county this year. This means that REA power will not be available to the north part of the county this year. Tech. 5 Ross Huston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Huston of Lock Springs, has been returned to his native Daviess County soil for burial. Military services were held Sept. 26 at Lock Springs. Ross was killed in August 1944 in France. Tuesday through Thursday at the Courter Theater, “Eyes of Texas” in Trucolor, with Roy Rogers, Lynne Roberts and Andy Devine.

The Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE) is one of five state departments across the country that sponsors Mapping Your Future, a nonprofit organization that provides financial aid counseling and resources to students, families, and schools. As a sponsor, MDHE is now offering students a text messaging service through Mapping Your Future. Two different text message tracks are available, depending on student status. “High school seniors should subscribe to the Journey to College messages,” said Julie Meyer, MDHE Student Access and Success program director. “These messages are filled with reminders like planning a campus tour, applying for scholarships, and tips for finding the right college fit.” Another text message track is available for students already attending college. These “success” messages focus on utilizing campus resources including academic tutors, faculty advisors, and counselors. Students

are also encouraged to keep track of their GPA and to manage their finances. “The Missouri Department of Higher Education has a long history of providing resources and assistance to students to help them plan and pay for college,” said Cathy Mueller, Mapping Your Future Executive Director. “Offering this text messaging service is another great way to connect with students and provide electronic nudges in helpful ways.” Text messages will be sent out 1-2 times a month and standard messaging rates will apply. To sign up for the Journey to College messages, high school seniors should text #MOJ2C to 41411. To sign up for the Success messages, college students should text #MOSuccess to 41411. ***** “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have government without newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Even though Sarah came up with the plan for Abraham to father a child by Hagar, when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, quite naturally Sarah became resentful. Hagar fled but after being confronted by God, she returned to the home of Abraham and Sarah. After Sarah gave birth to Isaac, she told Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away. As they wandered in the wilderness, their water ran out. Genesis 21:15-19 records what happened next: “When the water in the skin was used up, she left the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, "Do not let me see the boy die." And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept. God heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. "Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him by the hand, for I will make a great nation of him." Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the lad a drink.” (NASU) Hagar put Ishmael in the shade and went a short distance away to wait. Hagar sobbed as she said to herself, “I cannot watch the boy die.” (Genesis 21:16 NIV) The NASU used above footnotes verse 16: “Do not let me look upon the death of the boy.” The next verse brings up a very interesting point. It says that God heard Ishmael crying out, but He called out to Hagar. Both were crying, but Scripture points out specifically that God heard the one and comforted the other. Why? I wonder if the Father was thinking of an event far off into the future. This event was already complete in the mind of God who is not bound by time. Surely, you see the parallels here. Hagar separated her only begotten son from her. The son was crying out. Being unable to watch, she sat down to sob while waiting for him to die. Some 1800 years later, in a supreme act of mercy to mankind, the divine Father would separate his Son from Himself and retire to watch. The Son would cry out as death came near, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me.” (Matthew 27:46, NASU) Was The Father unable to watch? Certainly, by virtue of the divine mind, God could identify with all that Hagar felt, but additionally, He could identify by experience with the great agony that was overwhelming Hagar as she thought she was going to have to watch her only begotten son die. It is no wonder that God the Father responded with great tenderness to the suffering Hagar saying, “What is the matter? Do not be afraid.” (Genesis 21:17 NIV) God the Father absolutely knew how Hagar felt. It is also no wonder that God promised great reward to Hagar's son who would live. Spend some time meditating on the great agony that God the Father went through in restraining His love from rescuing His Son when it was fully in His power to have done so. Hagar just thought she would have to watch. The Father actually did. His great love for you is all that kept Him from stopping The Sacrifice from taking place. Aren't you glad He allowed The Sacrifice to take place? Bless, magnify, and exalt His Name among your circle of influence.

Hunter Ed scheduled in Gallatin

DAWGS attend Special Olympics The Trenton DAWGS, Disabled Athletes with Grundy Support, attended the Special Olympics State Outdoor Games in Jefferson City, Sept. 27-30. Over 2,000 athletes from across Missouri were in attendance for all the fun! The DAWGS were invited to put on a Bocce demonstration for the Knights of Columbus from across the state at the new Training for Life Campus on Sunday. The DAWGS all received medals in Bocce and received fourth place for their first compe-

tition as Unified Regulation Softball. The Johnson family from Gallatin and Katie Peters from Trenton made up the unified partners for the team. Pictured above left to right seated-Will Johnson, Katie Peters, Sammie Gardner, Stephanie Dutro of Gallatin has been their bat girl all season. Standing left to rightSydney Johnson, Jen Johnson, Tanner Clem, Devin McGuire, Pierce Rash, James Ross and Jeffrey Jackson.

A skills session training will take place in Gallatin on Oct. 20, 2018, at the Gallatin High School from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The skills session is the second step of a two-step process to complete the Hunter Education course. The first step is Knowledgebased training. The Missouri Department of Conservation recently revised the Hunter Education course for student convenience and to emphasize hands-on training. The course is now a two-step process. The first step is to complete the knowledge-based training through one of three options. Option 1: Take the online/mobile study portion and complete the review quizzes. The student must show the Missouri Skills Session Qualifier Certificate to enter the Skills Session. Option 2: Complete, at your own pace, the home study portion by requesting a Hunter Education student manual. Bring the manual with all review sections completed to the skills session. Option 3: Register and attend the four-hour classroom session presented by Hunter Education instructors. The second step is the skills session. The skills session must be attended by all students, regardless of the option used to complete the knowledge-based training. The skills session is a separate from the knowledgebased training. The skills session is a training that is primarily hands-on training of critical skills. The skills session takes only four hours. The skills session concludes with a 35 question multiple-choice final exam that is weighted heavily on the knowledge studies. You must achieve an 80% (miss no more than seven questions) or higher to pass the final exam and be certified. The

skills session is free of charge. Student manuals for the knowledge studies are available at Pierce Gun Works/Pierce Auto Supply in Gallatin or the Missouri Department of Conservation Regional Office in St. Joseph, phone 816-271-3100. A skills session training will take place in Gallatin on Oct. 20, 2018, at the Gallatin High School from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Class size is limited. Online pre-registration is required.

Rivers still rising, roads still closing It seems like only last week — wait, it was only last week! — that the North Missourian was reporting on a drought. How things change in just a week or so. Now rain gauges are overflowing and so are the creeks and flood warnings are posted for the Grand at Pattonsburg and Gallatin by the National Weather Service. There is a chance of rain today (Wednesday, Oct. 10) and a 50% chance again on Friday. Mandi Bird, Executive Director at the Farm Service Agency in Gallatin, says the amounts vary around the county, but since Thursday evening, Oct. 4, when the rains started, to Oct. 10, the county had recorded 9.19 inches of rain. This is a relief from short-term drought, Ms. Bird says, but so far this year the county has received only 28.19 inches of the year, and should be at about 36 inches. “We’re still about eight inches behind,” she says. “But this rain did fill up some ponds and relieve the immediate drought. For the 2018 calendar year, August and October were the only two months when rains were above normal.” Lack of rain for the rest of the months of the year placed Daviess County on the U.S. Drought Monitor at a D3 (extreme) rating only last week. Ms. Bird noted that Daviess County may be taken off the U.S. Drought monitor by next week.

Native Alaskan’s pastoral journey leads to Fairview by T.L. Huffman, staff writer

S hadrach and Eliza beth L andry and son, Je remiah

Shadrach Landry, the pastor at Fairview Community Church, never planned to go into the ministry. A teenager growing up in Alaska, he loved hockey and his lifetime ambition was to be a professional hockey player. When he told his mother this one evening during his late teen years, she said in her very low, humble voice, “But Shadrach, I always saw you being a pastor.” He laughed at that. Being a pastor was not even in the picture of how he wanted his life to turn out. God, however, had other plans. “Really, when God saved my soul at 19 years old, it was just the beginning of a new start,” Shadrach says. Shadrach, 31, was born in Salcha, Alaska. He grew up in a very rural area. He was homeschooled for the majority of his childhood, except for a couple of years of high school at Delta Junction. Shadrach’s parents were homesteaders and he grew up on a 320-acre farm, way out in the country in the middle of nowhere with four sisters and one brother. “For the first couple of years we used lamps for lights and we would leave the truck running outside and use it as a generator if we needed electricity,” Shadrach says. “We pumped water from a well. My dad was a logger in his early years and a part-time farmer. We would eventually begin to sell cabbage to the local restaurants and stores.” In his late teens, Shadrach began to feel a desire to know God better. “I tried to ignore God’s tugging on my heart for about a year, but I finally realized that I could not resist,” he says. “God

would bring about circumstances in my life that caused me to surrender to His will.” Shadrach left his home in Alaska and moved to Kansas to attend Bible College at Spurgeon College, also known as Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree in Biblical studies. Shadrach is also a carpenter by trade and currently works for JE Dunn. His wife, Elizabeth, is a homemaker and also pursuing a college degree in computer science. She helps her parents manage their sushi restaurant in Lansing, KS. Their son, Jeremiah, turned six on Oct. 7. In 2015-2016, Shadrach served as pastoral intern at Calvary Baptist Church in Leavenworth. KS. “I look back and see God’s providence along our journey,” says Shadrach, “A journey which has led us to Fairview Community Church where I have officially been the pastor since spring of 2016.” Shadrach says Fairview’s recent renovation on the church building has brought about a lot of excitement. “I’m happy for the congregation, because they have been waiting for this for a long time,” he says. Shadrach adds that the vision at Fairview Community Church is to glorify Jesus by praying, loving, and growing. It’s a vision that extends beyond the individual to the family and community. “Someone asked how I would describe Fairview in a few words,” he says. “We are a congregation that loves one another! I’ve attended other churches in the past and each church is distinct, but the people at Fairview truly love in a way that is really cool to see.”

After

Before

Fairview Community Church renewed, renovated …history recited The Fairview Community Church in Jefferson Township, Daviess County, State of Missouri, is located about five miles north of Winston. This church was organized Aug. 1, 1874, and received by the Chillicothe Presbytery on Oct. 4, 1874, as the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and was called “High Prairie” by the community. The congregation and board members met in homes and other churches, “Old Union” being one, until the present church was built in 1881 by members of the congregation. The land the church is built on was bought from David A. Taylor and wife, Catherine, on July 25, 1881, for $30. Before ministers, the church had leaders called “Moderators.” Rev. J.W. Ragan was the first minister of the church on Aug. 9, 1874, though not authorized as such by the Presbytery. Some of the first officers were Samuel Bouton, George Tipton, R.C. Smith and William Smith. On Sept. 3, 1881, an authorized delegate of the Presbytery was appointed to employ a preacher. His name was E.S. Ragan. He resigned March 26, 1888. On Oct. 20, 1883, a public collection was made to pour a platform across the front of the building just in front of the two doors. In 1884 the pastor’s salary was $149.26 a year. On Sept. 20, 1884, the church name was changed to Fairview. Other members added were W.J. Snyder and wife, J.T. Minor and wife, Fred Brownhill and wife and mother, Wright Taylor, David and wife, Joe Caldwell, Jessy Smith, Dan Fisher, Charles Nance and wife, William J. Smith and wife. In 1886 each member was required to pay 15 cents to be considered an active member. Some members recorded from 1901 through 1907 are

Clytie Brown, Mellie Taylor, Lester Wardell, Lucy Everman, Tammy Weed, Myrtle E. Smith, Adealia Caldwell, Emaline Loop, Beulah Woodruff and the Joe Williamson family. Rev. Clay Jackson was one of the ministers around 1908-1909. He was followed by Rev. S.B. Zarecor. The church was not without its problems, and stood idle for about five years from about 1910-1915. In 1915, the community began having Sunday School as well as church. A Methodist, Herbert Kaufman, was organizer and superintendent. Some of the ministers at this time were Rev. Charles Hand and Rev. Pryer Price. Attendance was good for a while, but in time there was not enough of one denomination in the community. On April 19, 1938, by a special warranty deed, the people bought the church from the Presbytery for $50 and it became Fairview Community Church. Mrs. J.T. Minor, the oldest charter member at that time, died Jan. 14, 1938, just three months prior to the purchase. Some of the later ministers were Revs. Vernie and Mary Welbaum, Rev. Bruce Clark, Rev. James Springer, Rev. John Payton, Rev. James Melish, Rev. Lyman Pierce, Rev. Phillip Mitchell, Rev. Wilson Harris, Rev. Stanley Smith, Rev. Lyn Davis, Rev. Gary Waller, Rev. Douglas Perkins, and Rev. Steve Mounts. Several other members recorded in the early part of the 1900s were the George Smith family, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Smith, the Paul Spiers family, the Ed Willits family, Claude Plowman, Mr. and Mrs. Jess Conover, the Luther Morrison family, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Kaufman, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Wolf, the Earl Parton family, Mrs. Earnest Caldwell and children, the Earl Olsen family, Viola Olsen,

Leo Harms, Mr. and Mrs. Gib McFee; Mr. and Mrs. Rob McFee and son, George, Annis, Virgil, Nettie, and Bonnie McFee, the Charles McFee family, the Walter Holt family, the Roy Shaw family, Mr. and Mrs. Earscel Lewis, Mrs. Taylor Graybill and sons, Chester Claycomb, Leland Morrison, George Lepper, the Dewey Bowman family, Mary Margaret Willits, Pearl Bowman, Chester and Ray Collier, Evelyn Garrison, Roberts Caldwell, Leroy Moore, Ellen Frost, Rev. and Mrs. Clifford McFee and son, the Lavon Murphy family, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kaufman, Paul Beyers, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Piers, and Mr. and Mrs. George Uthe and son. The building was extensively redecorated in the spring of 1980. It continued as a non-denominational church with the congregation making most decisions by general voting, with major decisions going before the board. Board members during that period were Earscel Lewis, George McFee, Frank Pittsenbarger, and Vern Bridgman. The minister was Richard Wilson from the Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly. The Sunday School Superintendent was Bruce Bridgman. Fairview celebrated its 130th birthday Sept. 21, 2014. Pastor Ralph Davis and his wife Vanda were ministers at Fairview from March 1994 until his passing in April, 2015. Several different interim pastors filled in between 2015-2016. Beverly Lang was secretary for many years before her retirement. Pastor Shadrach Landry began at Fairview in the spring of 2016. Shelly Mason is the current secretary/ treasurer. Betty McFee is the current Sunday School teacher. George McFee was song leader for many years. Marsha Vanisko is piano player. Betty McFee and Marilyn Searcy are song leaders.
