Jack Huffman of Jamesport was leaving Gallatin to go back to his farm around 9 a.m. on Nov. 21 and had just pulled out on Highway 6 heading east. At the bluff near the city limits on the north side of the highway (commonly called Goat Mountain), something came out of the grass from the north side of the road and scampered across the road. At first Jack thought they were rabbits; they were about that size. He came to a full stop and realized he was watching a litter of five baby bobcats cross the highway in front of him. The bobcats crossed in single file from north to south and were close enough Jack could see the black pointed ears and white lining around their eyes and their bobbed tails. He thinks their mother must have crossed just ahead of them. Another pickup going the other direction also stopped and watched them cross the road, but Jack didn’t know the driver.

Exterior wall of house in Gallatin catches on fire On Nov. 24 at approximately 1:39 p.m., the Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to 308 North Clay in Gallatin for a fire on the outside wall of the house. Engine 101 and Brush 104 responded with six personnel. Jameson Fire District was requested for mutual aid. Upon arrival, a one-story wood-framed dwelling was found with fire on the south outside wall and smoke coming out of the roof vents. A 1 3/4-inch hose line was deployed for extinguishment. The

fire was extinguished on the outside wall; it extended from the ground level all the way up to the eaves. Firefighters opened the wall from the foundation all the way up to the attic on the outside and inside of the house to check for fire extension. The fire was completely out at 2:17 p.m. The fire was contained to the wall of origin and found to be caused by a discarded cigarette. The house is owned by Tony Moore. Fire crews released from the scene at approximately 3:47 p.m.

Green Hills Regional Planning Commission caps 50 years of service The Green Hills Regional Planning Commission (GHRPC) will celebrate the accomplishments of the region over the past 50 years at a public open house and reception planned from 10 a.m. to noon on Dec. 15 at the commission’s office located at 1104 Main in Trenton. The Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce will conduct a ribbon cutting at 11:30 a.m. that same morning. Recognized as one of the most successful regional planning commissions in the state of Missouri, now serving 11 counties, the GHRPC board and staff continue to represent, promote, and advocate for necessary funds and programs to continue the positive development of the region. Recent local projects include the sewer system upgrade at Gallatin; water improvements/hook up to Livingston Co. #4 at Jamesport; and the construction of a 75,000 gallon tank and distribution system and pump station at Kidder/Caldwell PWSD #2.

At a crowd filled special ceremony, held at Trenton High School, Governor Hearnes presented a Proclamation which dedicated the 3rd Regional Planning Commission to be placed in service in the State of Missouri. The commission was declared a regional organization whose mission was to serve the counties and cities within a nine-county rural region in North Central Missouri, otherwise known as the Green Hills region. In his comments, the governor stated that commissions such as the GHRPC do not infringe or dilute the authority of local governments within a region. “Instead, through a joining of strength, such commissions as this are designed to strengthen a region’s governmental components.” (continued on page 3)

The last bazaar by Freida Marie Crump

(*what grandparents forget to ask) Here’s another sign we’re in the end times. Now there’s a survey measuring advice that grandkids want to give to their grandparents. The survey I read about was conducted by Visiting Angels, one of the nation’s largest inhome senior care companies. I suppose it spawned from the reality some of us senior citizens face when trying to reach out to grandkids for holiday gift suggestions — only to learn they don’t respond to phone calls and the best way to get a little face time is to interface, using a smart phone. My own kids tell me Facebook just doesn’t cut it anymore if you’re trying to tap into the lives of teenagers and youth. That’s what makes the survey results interesting to me — what it reveals about us older and “wiser” hipsters (think rheumatism). Anyway, here’s what every Facebook jockey should know (*but apparently are too self-absorbed and forget to ask):

Cut the Doom, Gloom & Guilt

Cut out TMI

All this got me to thinking about my own grandma at Christmastime. Her biggest media worries were making sure no one listening in during her party line telephone conversations was embarrassed by anything she said ...or settling the argument between me and my sister when our favorite TV shows (on a 17-inch black/white RCA TV set) happened to be scheduled at the same time on two of the three available broadcast stations. Actually, I’ve sat here quite awhile trying to remember a special Christmas present from grandma. What first comes to mind is her Divinity, a homemade candy that set up rock hard — and hardly anything I ever asked for. But it was part of the tradition I now cherish... just like actually going out to the back 40 to cut a cedar from the fence row for our Christmas tree, coming back to warm up with hot chocolate and sticky-sweet popcorn balls — and warm rolls fresh out of the oven dripping with grandma’s homemade jellies. Oh, and those sugar cookies! Try emailing that. My grandma would never be confused with someone I

thought was cool or socially connected — not through the eyes of a youngster, a teenager, or with these eyes now moistening with all the memories flooding back. She was much, much more. How do you describe unconditional love wearing a garden bonnet or bending low in a flour-smudged apron, arms outstretched and smiling and wanting me to return her hug? She gave me such memories. If my generation is screwing this up, then I only hope the Millenials will ponder the survey to learn from our mistakes and perhaps harken back to the things that made America great. Norman Rockwell liked grandparents. He saw them for what we should be. There’s a solid wholesomeness in what Normal Rockwell painted, the emotions and traditions about us that I see in people living here around me everyday. I’m talking about realities, not something you can fake to cover embarrassments or quickly add as an attachment to some impulse you tweet out. Being a grandparent (and many times over if you’re a parent) requires more. Love is more than that. Love means prioritizing things. Love is inconvenient. Love is an investment that takes time. Love is all that matters. The survey says to us grandparents to remember: “It’s Not About Me.” I can’t even comprehend why anyone would need to tell my grandmother the things the survey says. It was always the other way around ...my grandma helping me learn these things by her loving deeds. Although I fail and fail too often, that’s the standard of the grandparent I want to be. The next few weeks before Christmas offer a very special opportunity to take your place in the next family portrait of Christmas your little ones will remember, whatever scene that may be. It’s not about money or being chic or what you can wrap up in some box they’ll probably forget about. How you will be painted will be determined much by what you decide to do (and not do), don’t you agree? Let’s give them our best. Consistently and over time, true love takes care of the rest.

Greetings from Poosey. Just like a dental exam or a visit to your proctologist, our church’s annual Fall Bazaar rolled around last week and so far as I can tell no one was seriously injured. That’s always a big plus in the bizarre world of bazaars. Once a year we fry stuff, bake stuff, poach, peal and paint stuff to raise a little money for foreign missions and it’s a pleasant enough way to spend an enjoyable day with the folks we love the most...and the others. I’m not sure how much longer we can keep this up since the skills required to host a bazaar —baking, knitting, sewing, and quilting — are the province of a generation that’s beginning to thin out. Time was, every lady in church could whip up an angel food cake or crochet a doily. But the average gal today would be hard pressed to summon up the skills that came so naturally to grandma. The click-click of darning needles has been replaced by the single click of the Amazon icon. I don’t fault the current generation for this. I can’t think of the last time I went searching for a good doily. The highlight of each year’s bazaar is the annual Produce Look-Alike Contest, a competition to discover who can grow the melon or whatever that resembles a famous person. If you ask me this would have been a good year to cancel this silly contest. Nearly every pumpkin looks like Donald Trump. Not since Hubert Humphrey ran for the presidency have round fruits and vegetables been so prominent along the display tables in our fellowship hall. By the end of the day we’d even given them their own name: Trumpkins. Hillary Clinton was featured more prominently in the squash category. At least we were spared the near obscene produce that was provoked by her husband a few years ago. It was our new minister’s first year in our pulpit and I thought we were going to lose him while judging the gourds. Berney Sanders had his own section this year in the category of also-rans and for some reason most of Berney’s exhibits featured potatoes. There’s something about the way an aged potato will wrinkle that makes spuds a natural way of depicting the Vermont senator, and as the day progressed the exhibits more and more resembled him. Myron Gooshen won the category, “The U.S. Supreme Court Depicted in Produce.” Myron always wins this category since there’s not one person in a 100 who could identify a Supreme Court Justice if they bumped into them at the gas station. Myron is not a pleasant loser so he always manages to enter the more obscure categories. Those of us who’ve made the Poosey Bazaar a part of our annual trek will remember Myron’s attempts at, “The Winning Divers of the 1924 Paris Olympics Sculpted in Rutabagas.” He of course had no competition in his newly designed event, but we all agreed that the svelte form of Olympic divers were not likely to much resemble the squat, pudgy sumo-like rutabaga. One year he constructed a diorama of sorts that was meant to resemble “Sherman’s March to the Sea and the Burning of Atlanta.” I had another name for Myron’s amalgamation of garden vegetables strewn over a piece of plywood. I called it “compost.” The futility of this annual artistic adventure could best be summarized when Lola McBride came into the fellowship hall in her wheelchair as her son, Bobby, held the door open. We had a hefty breeze that day and before we knew it, the labels on the exhibits had all been blown into the primary Sunday school room. It was only as we crawled around on the floor retrieving tags, then trying to match the label with the vegetable that we realized all these potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and gourds were pretty much alike, thus resembling the politicians and statesmen they were meant to portray. This may be my last bazaar. I usually bake a few cookies and have been known to whip up a mincemeat pie just to scare the small children, but I think I’ll forgo the “Famous Produce” displays from now on. When we start lining up garden vegetables that resemble our elected officials it’s just a bit too eerie, and like the objects they’re to resemble, they tend to go bad so very quickly. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Is death tax (finally) on life support? by E ric B o h l

We all know the well-worn adage that nothing in life is certain except death and taxes. These two certainties existed separately in the U.S. until 101 years ago when estate tax laws were enacted. Since 1916, the unfortunate occasion of death itself has triggered enormous taxes. The rate has fluctuated from its original 10% to as high as 77%. Today it hovers at a still-punishing 40%. Many often point out that this tax is levied on funds that were already taxed when they were earned, resulting in an overt double taxation of the same money. Farmers and ranchers have opposed the death tax for so long that no one can remember when the fight began. For decades we have railed against a tax that simply seems immoral – the government claiming ownership of someone’s hard-earned property solely because they were so careless as to cease living. It

‘Right to Work’ on the 2018 ballot Hundreds of thousands of Missouri voters signed the petition to put SB19 -- commonly called the “Right to Work”-- to a public vote. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has announced that the referendum has been certified to appear on the statewide ballot for the next general election on Nov. 6, 2018. The minimum requirement to qualify for ballot placement is approximately 107,510 signatures in six of Missouri’s eight congressional districts. Missourians submitted an unprecedented 310,567 signatures; this is nearly three times the amount required. Signatures were secured from all 114 Missouri counties, with enough to qualify all eight congressional districts. Since 1914 there have been 26 referenda called in Missouri. In 24 of those proposals, voters disapproved the bill enacted by the Missouri General Assembly. The voters approved the action of the General Assembly only two times in almost 100 years. Both occurred in the 1920s. The referendum process was widely used from 1914-1922 but has been used only six times in the last 80 years. It was last used in 1982. This historical context is used by an organization called “We Are Missouri” which is working to repeal the “right-to-work” SB19.

is based in a worldview wherein society gets to decide how much of your money you should be allowed to keep, as opposed to the more individualistic perspective that assets earned should not be taken away without just cause. To many farmers who have worked their whole lives to pay off farmland, barns, machinery and livestock, passing away does not feel like a sufficient offense to justify forfeiture of 40% of all they have earned. Critics will point to the large exemption amounts in current law to say that the death tax only directly affects a small number of farms and ranches. This misses the point. Simply because an immoral, unjustified tax only affects a small number of people does not grant it moral authority and justification. Even were it to only affect one citizen, it would still be unjust. These arguments are so familiar that it seems hard to imagine politics without them. However, today the death tax is in the most precarious position of its 101-year lifetime. The comprehensive tax reform bill introduced in Congress on Nov. 2, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” would gradually reduce the death tax, then completely eliminate it in 2023. The Republican-controlled House will likely pass some version of this bill that either dramatically reduces or completely kills the death tax. With the Senate and White House also in Republican hands, the prospects of killing this tax once and for all are perhaps greater than ever before. Until it is dead and buried, farmers and ranchers will continue to advocate for the elimination of this tax. Let’s hope that day arrives over the coming weeks and that the death tax does not find a new lease on life.

He further stated “no longer can we live our lives apart from other individuals and the same is becoming increasingly true in governmental services.” Fifty years later, the governor’s comments on that day continue to ring true today. During the past 50 years, the Green Hills Regional Planning Commission has been directed by a board of directors who have selected and employed executive directors and professional staff to apply their talents and available resources to lead the region to collectively impact the many challenges and diversity the cities and counties within the region face. As a result of this dedication to the region, the GHRPC has leveraged millions of dollars of federal and state funds to address and improve the region’s infrastructure, transportation system, economic and workforce

communities. Keeping up with the educational and skill needs of today’s workforce continues to impact the employers and educators who are forced to react to a fast-paced, ever-changing technological environment. Agriculture continues to represent the largest economic sector in the region; however, the market share for family farms has decreased while large corporate farms and processing facilities’ contribution to the economy has increased. Through the strength that comes from joining forces, in a regional approach, as envisioned by Governor Hearnes some 50 years ago, the GHRPC stands ready to lead and respond to the challenges of today. Those with questions about the GHRPC are invited to contact the agency’s executive director, Randy Railsback, at 660359-5636, ext. 11.

development needs and the overall well-being and quality of life of the people who reside in the region’s challenged rural area. Currently, much like the commission’s priorities 50 years ago, the needs of the region are diverse and at times critical. Issues facing the region today that threaten the stability and future growth of the region include maintaining a diverse infrastructure system which includes transportation and water/ wastewater systems. As populations continue to decline and local businesses adapt to the challenges of internet commerce, the ability to retain and grow a small business presence threatens small rural communities as never experienced before.

Road work on KK

Gallatin light plant years & years ago Here is an aerial view of the Gallatin Light Plant circa 1950’s submitted by Jim Long on the Gallatin What Do You Remember Facebook Page. Do you remember it? Would you be able to date this picture?

Results of dashing & crashing on I-35 As a result of a special enforcement project over the holiday weekend, Missouri State Highway Patrol officers issued 110 citations and 252 warnings on Interstate-35. Officers also made one felony warrant arrest, four felony drug arrests, and assisted 27 holiday travelers. The enforcement project encompassed two days, Nov. 22 and Nov. 26, designated as the peak travel days for the holiday period. Interstate 35 was the roadway designated for this project and troopers were each assigned a 20-mile stretch of the interstate from the Clinton County line to the Iowa state line. Troopers also were assigned to saturate high crash locations on U.S. highways within the Troop H area.

The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

JPEG & Janny’s team effort nets $500 for Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness fund The JPEG Studio recently teamed up with Janny’s Java, and with a lot of community support, donated $500 to the local charity, Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness. One hundred percent of the session fees from The JPEG Studio’s annual Christmas photo event went directly to Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness. Customers who gave to the fundraiser got a free coffee drink from Janny’s Java and a free Christmas ornament from The JPEG Studio as a thank you for their donation. Jill Steward of JPEG commented that this local charity really spoke to her since the families of two of her high school friends are dealing with cancer treatments right now. “There

Bees and more at the Great Plains Growers Conference In a little over one month, it will be time for the Great Plains Growers Conference. This is one of the premier conferences for horticulture producers, and it is found right here in northwest Missouri. Held in St. Joseph, the Great Plains Grower’s Conference is put together every year by Extension educators from four states: Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and T im B aker Nebraska. The conference will be held on January 11-13, 2018. This will be our 22nd annual conference. This is an exciting conference for anyone growing horticultural crops, with many new ideas presented from growers, researchers, and Extension specialists.

The conference is open to everyone, from backyard gardeners to commercial produce growers. Topics cover not only vegetables, but also tree fruits, small fruits and flowers. There are also presentations targeted toward organic growers. The event begins with workshops on Thursday. Attendees choose a workshop when they register. Each workshop explores a topic in-depth. Workshops this year will include topics such as a grower training for the Food Safety Modernization Act, cover crops and soil health, the potential for hops in Missouri and nearby states in the Great Plains, bees, and reducing food losses. I have helped organize the beekeeping session again this year. The Thursday workshop on beekeeping will feature Michael Bush, author of “The Practical

Beekeeper: Beekeeping Naturally.” Bush has an interesting approach to the many problems facing bees and beekeepers today. He feels we have an unsustainable beekeeping system, and argues that these issues arise from pests, a shallow gene pool, contamination of the hive, using the wrong gene pool, upsetting the ecological balance of the hive, and other factors. Beekeepers will be interested in the solutions he believes will correct these problems. The main conference occurs on Friday and Saturday. Before starting the concurrent tracks, we will hear from our keynote speaker, John Ikerd, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Economics at the University of Missouri. You can read more about him on our conference web site, noted below. After the keynote, there will be five concurrent tracks to choose from. Topics for this year’s tracks include Tree Fruit, Organic, Vegetable IPM, Farm to School Marketing, and Mushrooms. I will have more on the mushroom track in my next column. On Saturday, concurrent sessions include Greenhouse/Hydroponic, Organic, Cut Flowers, Small Fruits, Vegetable Production, and Season Extension. There will be many exhibitors available to provide information about seeds, irrigation, horticulture equipment, chemicals, and other topics. Meals, break refreshments, and handouts will be included in the registration fee for the main conference. The conference will be held on the campus of Missouri Western State University. For more information about the conference and a registration form, call the Buchanan County Extension office at (816) 279-1691.

Vincent LeRoy Scott 1919-2017

Vincent LeRoy “Scotty” Scott, 97, Freeport, went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 16, 2017. Scotty was born on Nov. 23, 1919, at his maternal grandparents' home in Jameson, and was taken to the family home three weeks later in a horse-drawn bobsled to be with his other four siblings. In 1924, the family moved to Gallatin where Scotty received his early education in the public school and on the streets, playing football, participating in Boy Scouts, delivering handbills and newspapers, selling magazines, and working at an ice cream parlor and grocery/bakery store. Scotty entered the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1938 and graduated in February 1943 with a B.S. in chemical engineering. He joined the Dow Chemical Company that month in Freeport, Texas, and spent his entire 40-year professional career there, retiring August 31, 1983. During that time, he worked in many areas—research and development, production, and production planning and economic evaluation (caustic magnesium, magnesium oxide, aluminum chloride catalyst, styrene, glycol, EDC, and V1V2). Civic service during those years included: chairman for Freeport Planning Commission during consolidation with Velasco; two terms on Freeport City Council; Precinct 18 election judge; grand jury service; and area planning commission member. After retirement he spent seven years as the Freeport representative and first president, board of directors, Brazosport Water Authority, leading the effort to organize an authorization election in each Brazosport city selecting legal, engineering, construction, and bond representatives and hiring personnel to build and operate the original facility. Scotty married Rebecca Anne Twombly on April 17, 1948, who worked hard to make him a Texan. He is survived by her and their four children: Naomi Scott and husband John Bonno of Houston, Texas; Evelyn Collard Karl and husband Gary Karl of Brazoria, Texas; Pauline Moffett Singleton and husband David Singleton of Vernon, Texas; and Morgan Scott and wife Julie Scott of Dallas, Texas. Also surviving are eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Scotty became a Christian at the age of 10, and was ordained a deacon by the First Baptist Church, Freeport, after his marriage. His service there included singing in the choir; teaching Sunday school; serving on budget, finance, and other committees; audio-visual director; church treasurer; and trustee. His passions were Christ, family, church, researching genealogy, following the stock market, watching football, and most of all, eating chocolate. He kept up with current events, and wrote letters to the Houston Chronicle and the Brazosport Facts expressing his historical observations, and years of wisdom. Scotty kept a blog entitled “Depression Class” with short stories from his childhood during the Great Depression, which can be viewed at http://depressionera.net/. He lived a full life, was greatly loved, and will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers, Scotty requested donations to the First Baptist Church of Freeport Building Fund; P.O. Box 3040, Freeport, Texas, 77542. Pa

Coach of th e Y ear: T h omas H otmer, Princeton

Mizzou ends regular season with win at Arkansas B y B enj amin H errold Missouri capped its dramatic surge in the second half of the regular season on Black Friday with its sixth straight win, 48-45, over Arkansas in Fayetteville. After five straight blowout wins, the Tigers (7-5, 4-4 in SEC play) had to battle for this one. It turned out to be the last game for Bret Bielema as the head coach at Arkansas. But even with little to play for beyond pride, the Razorbacks (4-8, 1-7 in SEC) played hard. Missouri trailed 42-38 early in the fourth quarter. The Tigers responded with an 8-play, 89-yard touchdown drive, capped with a Drew Lock touchdown pass to J’Mon Moore. It was a tremendous catch by Moore, even if there was some contact, and Arkansas was lobbying for offensive pass interference on the play. It was Lock’s fifth touchdown pass of the day, giving him 43 for the season, breaking the Southeastern Conference single season record of 40. Arkansas answered with a field goal to tie the game at 45. But then Missouri drove down and bled the clock, with Tucker McCann kicking a short little 19yard field goal for the win with five seconds left. Missouri’s offense had another big day, piling up 696 yards. Lock threw for 448 yards. Moore and Emmanuel Hall both had over 100 receiving yards. Albert Okwuegbunam, Missouri’s freshman tight end sensation, caught two touchdown passes. Senior running back Ish Witter had one of the great days of his career in his final regular season game,

going for 170 yards and a touchdown on 39 carries. A robust contingent of Missouri fans made the trip down to Arkansas’ beautiful campus in the Ozarks for the game. The Tigers had already locked up bowl eligibility, but it was a gorgeous, warm late November day in the Ozarks and another Missouri win in the Battle Line Rivalry. Other rivalries are bigger and weightier, but few, if any, rivalries have a bigger and weightier rivalry trophy than this one -- a massive silver outline of Missouri and Arkansas that is more than four feet tall and weighs nearly 200 pounds! In clinching a winning record for Missouri, Friday’s game looked back on the achievement of salvaging this season over the last six weeks. But it also pointed ahead to an intriguing future for the Tigers. Even facing several programs in disarray, Missouri’s six straight wins after a 1-5 start was an impressive display of competitiveness and plain old persistence. As for next season, assuming Lock returns for his senior season, the Tigers have a shot to begin the season ranked or close to it, with a September game against Georgia at Faurot Field already looking big. But first, Missouri is off to a bowl game. We should know where on Sunday. The Music City Bowl in Nashville and the Liberty Bowl in Memphis seem like frontrunners, but there are several possible destinations for the Tigers. Wherever they go, it’ll be a nice reward for not giving up on this season.

GHS wrestlers earn first victory of the season Gallatin varsity wrestlers came away from Tuesday’s meet at Marceline with their first team victory of the season, 39-25, over the host squad. Gallatin vs. Marceline results were the only ones available at press time. The Bulldogs captured nine of 13 matches against the Tigers, including pins by Rian Critten in the 132-pound weight class, Gaven Gray in the 160-pound weight class, and Graydee Rains, wrestling up in the 285-pound weight division. Other wins for Gallatin, by decision, were: Keegan Allen, 106 pounds, 2-1; Ross Critten, 113 pounds, 7-0; Jacob Maize, 126 pounds, 5-2; Drayton Harris, 145 pounds, 4-2; and Gage Wright, 182 pounds, 9-4. Caleb Boyd won by forfeit for the Bulldogs in the 152-pound class. Also wrestling for the GHS varsity were Ayden Wayne (120), Brigham Steele (138), Tom

Crouse (170), Cody Arnold (195) and Jonathan Carder (220). The Bulldogs host Trenton and South Harrison next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the middle school gym.

Gallatin Junior High Wrestlers wrap up

Gallatin’s junior high wrestling squad will wrap up its season next Monday in a quad at home with Lawson, Trenton and Maysville. The Bulldogs will travel to Hamilton on Thursday to meet the Hornets, Brookfield Bulldogs and Mid-Buchanan Dragons. Members of this year’s squad were Brantley Burns, Rodell Sperry, Draven Wright, Ethan Adkison, Reggie Arnold, Logan Bottcher, Draygen Schweizer, Jagger Gray, Dryson Fry. They were coached by Zach Morrison and Tim Michener.

Volunteers needed to assure Holiday Hoops success “Over 250 volunteers will be needed to staff the 13th annual High School Holiday Hoops and more are still needed,” says event director Steve Maxey. “Holiday Hoops is the now the largest high school holiday shoot-out in the state and with 108 teams heading to Trenton over the holidays, the most teams in Hoops history, more volunteers are still needed to add to the success of the event.” New recruits and repeat volunteers are encouraged to attend a volunteer training session set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3, in the Sugg Room of the Ketcham Community Center. Maxey says that first-time hosts and first-time scorebook and game clock operators are

especially encouraged to attend the hour-long session. “We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers,” says Maxey, “and we want them to be fully trained, as well as be ready to enjoy 10 days of outstanding basketball right here at home on the college campus.” “This is a really big deal for the entire region, not just Trenton. As hundreds of visitors arrive in the community, we want to make certain our hospitality is the best ever, and that we are effective in hosting this big event for all to enjoy.” Persons interested in assisting with the event can contact Maxey at 660-359-7244 or send an email to maxeysteve@gmail. com.

The life of a first century shepherd was usually simple. Most shepherds had only a few sheep and eked out a living. Their poverty and simplicity likely put them at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. They spent hours with nothing to do but watch sheep. Perhaps that is how the phrase “counting sheep” began. Despite being nobodies, God chose to announce the birth of the Messiah through the shepherds. On a dark, quiet night angels visited them voicing this message, “The Savior, Christ the Lord, has been born.” More heavenly hosts appeared and departed as surprisingly as they had arrived. One can only imagine the shock and astonishment of the shepherds. The first thing they did was have a meeting. The shepherds said one to another... "What just happened? Can you believe this? Who will ever believe us? Was this a dream? What should we do?" What they did was exercise the first step of faith. ro Wa aris They checked it out. Presumably, they left a few shepherds in charge and went to Bethlehem “to see this thing which the Lord has made known to us.” It is my humble opinion that God makes Himself known to us in multiple ways every day; but we fail to check it out. The voice of God within us may be a whisper that is easy to dismiss; yet at the very least, it bears consideration. Soon they confirmed the message of the angels, “They found Mary and Joseph and the Babe, lying in a manger.” Following this confirmation, the shepherds took their second step of faith. “They made widely known the message of the angels... 'to you a Savior is born.'” Who would ever believe such a story — angels appearing to lowly shepherds? Oh, come now! But they could say, “It's true; we saw Him.” The Christian life is a journey of faith. For most of us, it doesn't begin as dramatically as it did for the shepherds. More often Jesus said, “It's like the Lord knocking at the door of our heart.” If He is knocking at your heart, the first step of faith is to check it out. Invite Him in and ask, “What can I do for you?” Chances are you will like what He says. Then, decide if you will take the second step of faith — make it known. Tell someone.

Winterize roses Winterizing roses starts with thoughtful pruning. Remove excessive top growth, especially where rose plants have become overgrown. Tall canes—4 to 5 feet—should be cut back about two-thirds of their length. Prune short canes with abundant, bushy top growth to allow about three-fourths of their height to remain. At the same time, remove weak, thin canes lower on the plant. After pruning the top of the rose plant, apply mulch around the base to protect the delicate graft union. Before applying mulch, carefully remove all plant debris around the base of the plant. Diseases such as black spot may be present on debris and infect plants the next growing season. Also remove diseased leaves that remain on the rose plant.

Court approves settlement

www

A settlement was approved in a wrongful death case in Grundy County Circuit Court Division One. Michael and Sherry Knapp of Trenton filed legal documents Sept. 18 seeking a settlement with the company that insured the sports utility vehicle involved in a four-person fatality accident. Judge Jack Peace found Nov. 8 that the wrongful death settlement offered by the insurance company was fair and reasonable, considering the proposed payment was the limit of the deceased’s policy. The June 6 accident in Daviess County claimed the life of Trey Shaw and three members of the Knapp family. Kansas City area attorney Timothy Lavin was listed as a defendant.

Check the health department out on Facebook, or their newly updated website at www.daviesshealthonline.com for more information. If you have private insurance please call your insurance company (phone number should be on the back of the card) prior to your visit and make sure Daviess County Health Department is a provider and that they cover for immunizations.

Hold out for the deal, but hold on to your hard-earned money: tips to avoid holiday scams Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley offers the following tips for Missouri consumers to protect themselves during the holiday season. •Bring paper or electronic copies of special advertising. By bringing a copy of the special holiday deal to the store with you, it will be easier for you to verify that you are getting the price that the store advertised. •Research merchants before you shop. Find out how long a company has been in business and look into its customer service track record before making a substantial purchase. Consumers can use the Attorney General’s online “Know Mo” portal to check for complaints against specific businesses. •Make sure you understand return and exchange policies. Shoppers should read the fine

provided by the state. If you have insurance and it covers immunizations but we are not a provider of your insurance, you can go to a covered provider or pay the $20 fee. Pneumonia vaccine will be available in limited supply to those adults who qualify. The health department advises its clients to call and verify insurance and Medicare providers and payment prior to your visit. It would be helpful if those interested know the date and type of previous pneumonia vaccine if at all possible.

Help the County Health Department keep Daviess County Flu Free! Get you and your children a flu shot! Wash your hands frequently! Stay home when you are sick! s e The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year. Every year in the United States, on average, 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu. More than 200,000 people are hospital-

ized from the flu and about 36,000 people die from the flu. Some people, such as the elderly, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The symptoms of the flu include: sudden onset of fever (usually high), headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, stomach symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, also can occur but are more common in children than adults. Complications of the flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. So if you feel sick, stay home and be sure to wash your hands!

Gallatin aldermen (continued f rom animals, 1 burglary, 1 custody dispute, 1 abandoned vehicle, 2 juvenile issues, and 2 dogs in the pound. Two arrests were made over the weekend. One was for a warrant out of Chillicothe for dangerous drugs. The other was for a warrant out of Caldwell County for a traffic offense. On Nov. 24 Gallatin police officers, along with the Gallatin Fire Protection District, responded to a house fire at 308 N. Clay in Gallatin. There were no injuries, but there was damage to the structure (see story, page 1). The Police Department will be installing a new sign in front of their building stating it is a “meet-up” spot. Individuals meeting to exchange internet purchases can safely meet there and utilize the police department’s live video recording system. The Gallatin Police Department will be organizing Toys for Tots again this year. Forms are available at City Hall and Officer Richards can be contacted with any further questions. Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that the street crew has been busy patching cracks on streets that have been re-paved in the last 10 years. The electric department digger derrick truck was decorated in lights for the Christmas Around the Square parade. Crews are still working on getting equipment prepared for winter. Discussion was held on an option to help lower the electric transmission costs.

Bobcats in town? (continued f rom Female bobcats are territorial and their range is about five square miles. It’s quite possible their den is somewhere in the woods around Dockery Park or the outskirts of town. Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards says he hasn’t seen any bobcats in the park, but has seen some near the city dump — not often, but he has seen them. News about the sighting soon attracted attention and response on social media. Here’s a sampling of Facebook postings as of yesterday afternoon: Richard Goodman: “When we lived at other place we let our pit at night she was barking at something then went into woods

page 1)

after it she didn’t come home for two days & when she did she was all torn up had to take her to vet he said it looked like bobcat got a hold of her I know this pit she’s not scared of anything.” Meredith McCann: “I’ve seen bobcats off and on at my dad’s place for about 25 years now. I’m glad they’re still around!” Jerry Houghton: “Wait until your small pets start disappearing, then tell me how cute they are.” Jessica Jones: “I have seen them close to city limits.” Rose Schuerkamp: “I saw one this evening coming into town on MM under the Highway 6 overpass.”
