The Westbrook firm was hired to complete an audit after it was discovered by the superintendent and board members that monies could be missing. It was evident that funds were being misappropriated from the lunch program and the athletic program. Ms. Klosterman also noted that there were credit card purchases which were not authorized. The firm also found discrepancies in the petty cash funds.

Video featuring Daviess County to debut on CMT by T.L. Huffman, staff writer

The video featuring Lake Viking and other areas of Daviess County will air soon on CMT. Stills from the video have been posted recently on Post Monroe’s website.

Mike Caudle came back to his hometown to make a video for CMT which will debut July 4 worldwide. The video features a rising star country duo known as Post Monroe. Mike is a 1995 graduate of Winston High School. He attended UCM at Warrensburg and ended up in the hospitality industry. He moved to Iowa in 2000. He was a co-owner of a live music venue in West Des Moines, IA. Mike’s introduction to the film business came in 2010 when he submitted a concept for a “bar rescue” style show called “American Spirits”. Mike says he was one of the first to offer a nightclub-style show to the network show runners. The producers passed on his concept; however, filming for “Bar Rescue” suddenly was announced for Spike TV just four weeks after his contract had expired. “It happens all the time in Hollywood,” he says. “They took elements of our concept and did something that cost less per episode than our show would have been.” Mike wasn’t angry or bitter about it… “I was excited that they thought our idea was good enough for a produced show.” Mike got a second break when he produced six episodes of “The Fence” which covered the sensitive issue of suicide among America’s veterans. His video was purchased by Air National Guard and was used as a training module for suicide prevention. During this time, Mike still co-owned the Bombay Bicycle Club, but he and his partners decided to sell the place in 2012. He thought about opening a new bar, but realized he was happier making films than being in the bar business. He connected with Jacob Moyer, the owner of Luminary Creative, a video and film-making company who had worked with Mike on several productions. He asked Jacob to teach him the business. “Everybody thought I was crazy,” he says. “How was I going to make a living doing film in Des Moines, Iowa?” ( continued on page 12)

Greetings from Poosey. Not in my wildest imagination could I guess that as I headed to church on Sunday morning I’d be directed to a tavern, and it was all the fault of my fellow drinkers down at the Café de Poosey. Those gals had been on my case for years about my refusal to give up my flip phone in favor of one of those expensive iPhone things that seemed to have taken over the lives of so many of my friends. When I’d flip out my phone they’d make fun of my backward ways and I took it all in good grace, but even grace can run short when the haranguing becomes too thick. Long story short, I gave in a bought one. I have paid less for a car. Last week a friend asked me to pick up her daughter from ball practice and take her home so I gladly agreed since it would afford me a few minutes with whom I’d always thought was a delightful young gal. But alas, we rode 20 minutes in silence. After multiple attempts to start conversation I gave up. Whatever was happening on her phone was winning her attention and I was coming in a far distant second place. That’s why I’d hesitated joining the thundering herd of iPhone users. I simply wanted to remain human just a bit longer before the entire world suffers from a digital lobotomy. And that’s why I was directed toward our local tavern instead of church last Sunday morning. Hidden somewhere deep in the bowels of my iPhone is a device that keeps track of where I go and when. Once it gets enough data then it will start directing me instead of the other way around. Apparently, the Poosey barroom is the only business located with a couple of blocks of our church and after my phone learned that I go to church at the same time every Sunday morning it began dinging to direct me to the tavern down the street. When I told the ladies at the coffee klatch that because of them I had started drinking instead of praying on Sunday mornings they just laughed. I reminded them that God would punish them for their sins and we moved on to things less digital. Anyone who’s purchased a new car in the last 30 years knows that it comes with an assortment of bells and whistles that you didn’t ask for but you did have to pay for. Multiply that by about 200 and you have an iPhone. Without even asking my phone will tell me the weather, news, pollen index, the time in Hong Kong, what’s on TV tonight and a way to watch it on my phone, how my non-existent stocks are doing, where my car is parked, photos of people I’ve been trying to ignore, and reminders for things I’m trying to forget. Among the more annoying applications is a doodad that tells me how many steps I’ve walked so far that day and how many flights of stairs I’ve climbed. I don’t care about either of these figures. In fact, they depress me. The gals down at the coffee table will proudly flash their number of steps while I turn my phone face down and tell them my battery died to conceal the fact that I’ve been sitting on the sofa most of the morning. “Look at this, Freida! Two miles so far today! What does yours read?” I tell them that my mileage was so high that my iPhone lost count. This causes a great deal of laughter but no actual relief from their cell phone banter. And, of course, one of the most fertile topics of conversation is, “Who’s got the newest App?” My friend Norma has “Cuddlr,” an app that lets you find people in your area to cuddle with. I have no idea what her husband thinks of that. She also has “Run Pee,” an app that will actually tell you when you can run to the restroom during a movie without missing anything important. Lucille has Spirit Story Box, an application that tells you what ghosts are hovering around you and what they’re saying. Irene was a bit red-faced when she showed us her “Honey It’s Me!” app which will send her romantic text messages all day long from a fictional lover. Frankly, I have no idea how otherwise sane and hard-working people have time to crowd all this silliness into a busy day. Surely somewhere along the line there’s a pie that goes unbaked or an aunt who didn’t get a needed phone call. Yesterday I told my coffee buddies that I’d finally downloaded an application called “App Zap,” that automatically wiped everything off my telephone but the telephone. They believed me. I wondered where I’d gotten such gullible friends, and I’ll bet there’s an app out there that will tell me. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Four ways to combat the scourge of opioid abuse by Co n g res s man S am G rav es

You’ve seen the news stories and you probably know someone who’s been affected by it in some way -- the scourge of opioid addiction. Overcoming this crisis is proving to be far more difficult than anyone expected. Did you know that more than two million Americans will suffer from ad-

diction to opioids in 2018? Or that 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids EVERY DAY? In Congress, we’ve spent a considerable amount of time in the last several weeks on legislation designed to break the hold that opioids have on this country. While I don’t think our legisla-

Coffee Shop Talk

Daviess County ended the month of June over 3 inches below normal rainfall, and the entire county continues to register as a D2 on the U.S Drought Monitor and has since May 31. Normal rainfall for Daviess County from January 1 thru June 30 is 20.09 inches, but actual rainfall received is 8.66 inches. Wheat harvest came early this year and seems to be wrapping up, but from what we have heard from local farmers, yields were below average. The deadline for crop reporting is July 15 and, contrary to popular belief, one does not have to wait until this last day to report. However, since it falls on a Sunday this year, you can timely report until Monday, July 16. No appointments are needed in Gallatin, just stop on by. With the dry conditions, many producers have inquired about haying or grazing CRP. CRP is eligible to start haying or grazing on July 16. Managed haying and grazing will be available as normal, and applies only to contracts with CP1, CP2, CP4D and CP10 acres. Guidelines for managed haying and grazing include: ● Can be hayed every third year. Can be grazed every other year ● Haying and grazing dates are July 16-September 30. Hay bales must be removed by Oct. 30 ● 25% reduction for each acre of CRP contract hayed or grazed for all farmers ● Managed grazing is free for beginning farmers only ● However, if we continue in the D2 drought stage, the county will be approved to hay or graze under the Emergency provisions. Guidelines for emergency haying and grazing include: ● Can be hayed or grazed regardless of last haying or grazing dates ● Must leave 50% of each field or contiguous field unhayed or ungrazed for wildlife OR can graze whole fields at 75% of normal stocking rates ● You cannot not sell hay, bales must be for personal use. You cannot sublease for grazing ● Haying dates are July 16-August 31. Grazing dates are July 16-September 30 ● Contract owners can give an eligible livestock producer rights to hay or graze-the livestock producer must also confirm it is for their own personal use. They cannot sell the hay or sublease to graze. ● Free for all livestock farmers

Remember, if you are planning to hay or graze CRP acres, the owner of the contract must sign paperwork to release it before any activity starts. Call or come by the office to check for eligible acres on specific contracts. Tickets for the 4th Annual DeKalb and Daviess County Women in Ag Event are going fast! The event will be from 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20 at the June Conley Building in Maysville. This year’s speakers include Kate Lambert, wife, mother, farmer, FCS employee and Agvocate with her blog, Uptown Farms, and social media sensations, the Peterson Farm Brothers. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the DeKalb or Daviess County FSA Offices. The Farm Service Agency is unique in the fact that it runs on a farmer-elected County Committee System. County committees are made up of farmers and ranchers elected by other producers in their communities to guide the delivery of farm programs at the local level. Committee members play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA. Committees meet once a month or as needed to make important decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. This year Area 1 (Benton, Jamesport, Lincoln, Salem, and Washington townships) is up for election in Daviess County. If you know someone who would be a good county committee member, the nomination period is now through Aug. 1. The nominee must reside in one of those townships and participate in at least one FSA program. Producers can currently sign up for the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) thru July 6, 2018 or until sufficient rainfall is received. ECP allows producers to install water conservation measures during periods of severe drought to supply emergency water for livestock. If you currently hauling water or are within 30 days of being out of water for your livestock, you may qualify for ECP. Approved practices and measures may include the following:

ment. Our efforts will improve and expand access to treatment and recovery services, provide incentives for enhanced care, coordination, and innovation and establish comprehensive opioid recovery centers. However, it’s important that we prevent opioid abuse in the first place so treatment of an addiction isn’t necessary. That’s why we’ve passed legislation to encourage non-addictive opioid alternatives to treat pain, identify and help at-risk patients and families, and address high opioid prescribing rates. Across North Missouri, our law enforcement and social service agencies have sprung into action. Programs such as the City of Hannibal’s Bringing the HEET Initiative (Heroin Education Enforcement Treatment) are being implemented to pro-

tect our communities. We want to partner with these agencies by giving law enforcement tools to get dangerous drugs out of our communities, better intercepting illicit opioids at international mail facilities and improving access to federal resources for local communities. Finally, the synthetic drug known as fentanyl has created the bulk of the problems. Heroin laced with fentanyl is literally killing people the first time they use it. And it’s being trafficked throughout our communities. We’ve got to eliminate it. Our opioid legislation better tackles ever-changing synthetic drugs, cracks down on foreign shipments of illicit drugs, and provides grants for local communities to combat fentanyl. The opioid epidemic is ripping apart families and communities. Too many lives have been taken or ruined as a result. I believe this is a serious issue and I’m glad we are taking important steps to help our local communities deal with this crisis.

Give Missourians a fair shot by U . S . S en at o r Cl aire Mc Cas k il l

When it comes to trade in the global marketplace, there will always be winners and losers. And when Missouri businesses have a fair shot, they win. But with the threat of a recklessly escalating trade war posed by steel and aluminum tariffs, Missouri’s small businesses, manufacturers, and agriculture producers stand to lose, and lose big. Take Mid Continent Nail Corporation, a Poplar Bluff manufacturer I recently visited, and talked about during a Senate hearing with the Secretary of Commerce. In response to a 25% tariff on the wire they use to make nails, which forced the company to raise prices, they’ve lost almost half of their business in one month, laying off 60 of their 500 employees, with projections to lay off 200 more by the end of July. Reckless steel and aluminum tariffs made Mid-Continent’s nails too expensive, driving the businesses that purchased from them to buy cheap Chinese imports instead. CNC Machine Products in Joplin has been hit hard by these tariffs too, having to pay tens of thousands of dollars more on orders of specialized steel they placed months before tariffs were announced. For them, it’s not about the price, they simply cannot get the specialized steel products they need here — they have no other option but to import. And I’ve heard from soybean farmers across the state — where one in three rows of our beans are sold to China — that retaliatory tariffs that close the door to those critical markets would have disastrous consequences for them. Small businesses and farmers across Missouri are feeling the stress and anxiety from uncertainty in the marketplace. Hundreds of thousands of Missourians depend on the ability to sell their harvest, livestock, and goods in the

global market to make a living—and one thing they need more than anything else is certainty. And they’re not getting it. The top three destinations for Missouri’s exports are Canada, Mexico, and China. And what we’ve already seen is all of these countries, and even the European Union, will not be shy in retaliating against any tariffs we put on their goods. Missouri’s producers are already in their crosshairs. We’ve got to be vigilant against dumping and unfair trade practices that hurt our steel and aluminum manufacturers and producers, but starting a trade war will only hurt the folks we’re trying to protect. The President’s tariffs, and retaliatory tariffs from our allies and other nations around the world, are making it harder for our companies to succeed and putting Missourians’ jobs at risk. When I’ve seen the challenges Missouri’s manufacturers and agriculture workers face, I’ve never been shy about standing up for them. When Missouri’s soybean and biodiesel industry was being harmed by unfair trade practices last year, and over 17,000 jobs were at stake, I went to work. I testified on their behalf to the government agency that decides whether American companies have been harmed — and after my testimony, the agency’s commissioners unanimously voted to level the playing field for the soybean industry. Speaking with the workers at Mid Continent Nails in Poplar Bluff, I heard their concerns firsthand — concerns that these tariffs could put them out of a job and put their families at risk. I told them I’ll be fighting for them in Washington until our government’s policies protect the Missourians who’ve always worked hard and played by the rules.

Active Aging Resource Center

with Ms. Maxwell’s signature from Shopko, Walmart and other stores, all of which was presented as evidence. Five Tri-County School board members were called to testify as to whether their stamped signatures were authorized to be used to obtain petty cash. Maxwell’s defense attorney, Kenneth Hensley, called Daniel Welch, CPA, of Kansas City, to the stand and tried to discredit the testimony about the audit by the Westbrook firm. Hensley also tried to show negligence by the school superintendent and board members. As the trial continued on Wednesday afternoon, Ms. Maxwell was called to take the stand. She stated she had no previous crimes. She also stated that she had never pocketed any money from the school or used a school credit card. When asked about questionable signatures, she also denied those questions. During questioning by her lawyer, Maxwell denied taking any lunch money, athletic fees, or extra pay checks. She denied having ever signed a school credit card, even one time. She stated she hadn’t taken any cash from any funds from Tri-County R-7 School. During cross examination by Prosecutor Gibson, about extra payroll checks written to herself, Maxwell noted there appears to be checks. Ms. Gibson described the missing funds from the various accounts and the amounts that had been taken from the petty cash fund. In closing, Ms. Gibson asked the jury to find Dana Maxwell guilty of stealing $151,073 from the school. Below is a detailed account of the purchases made by Ms.

Maxwell, according to court documents: Ms. Maxwell made purchases at the Shopko pharmacy using her Shopko rewards card using school district funds for $420.12 in 2012, $3,757.04 in 2013, $4,018.86 in 2014 and $759.06 in 2015. Authorities allegedly found more than 80 separate transactions on the school’s credit cards for purchases including, but not limited to, alcohol, jewelry, clothing, bedding, medicine and other household items. From May 2012 to July 2015, unauthorized purchases were made at a gas station, totaling more than $9,000 in unauthorized fuel purchases on a schoolissued debit/credit card. During Ms. Maxwell’s tenure with the school district, she used rubber stamps of school district board members, making checks payable to petty cash.

Ag census deadline moved to July 30; a look at data of previous census & 1860

Tay ton Terry attends ag academy

Tayton Terry attends academy From handheld GPS units to auto-guided tractors and remote-controlled Segways, a select group of high school students, including Tayton Terry from Gallatin, and agriculture educators got hands-on experience with the future of the industry this week as Northwest Missouri State University hosted the third annual AgriVision Equipment Group Precision Agriculture Summer Academy. The three-day summer academy incorporates hands-on activities with state-of-the-art equipment and networking with industry professionals to advance the knowledge of students and agricultural educators in precision agriculture technologies. Students explore precision application, remote sensing, geographic information systems and data collection and management in the agriculture field. Twenty-four high school students who recently completed their sophomore and junior years and are active members of a 4-H club or FFA chapter were selected to participate along with their agriculture teachers. Participants receive a scholarship that covers the cost of lodging, food, materials, supplies and tuition. Northwest agriculture students also played an active role in the summer academy, mentoring and leading groups of students through activities.

The deadline for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2017 Census of Agriculture has been extended to July 30. Forms can be returned by mail or securely submitted online. Federal, state and local governments, as well as agribusinesses, researchers, trade associations and others, use the data to serve farmers and rural communities. USDA conducts the survey every five years.

Data helps policymakers see emerging trends such as young and beginning farmers and ranchers; women, veteran and minority farmers and ranchers; specialty crops; and organic production. This helps legislators make decisions that protect the future of agriculture, he says. Find the survey online at agcensus.usda.gov.

SCHOOL

Shonna Morrison honored; Bright Futures plans BTS event Shonna Morrison was honored at the Missouri Community Action Network’s 2018 Awards Luncheon held earlier this spring for her Outstanding Community Service in North Central Missouri. Shonna is the elementary school counselor at the Gallatin R-5 School District, and she has been instrumental in getting the Bright Futures Gallatin frame-

work up and going. Bright Futures Gallatin is planning to help meet the needs of students prior to beginning the next school year in August with a Back to School event to provide school supplies. The tentative date is Wednesday, Aug. 1. Bright Futures Gallatin is on Facebook, or call the school for more information on how to donate. Bright Futures is a grassroots organization that enables schools to engage businesses, human service agencies, faithbased organizations and parent groups to rally together to meet the needs of their children. This framework partners organizations with schools in a way that helps them to quickly and efficiently meet students’ basic needs, often within 24 hours. Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri provided funding for Gallatin to begin the program.

From the B ench . . .

There are ‘three sides to every story’ b y Jud g e R. B r ent E lli o t t This series of articles is intended to encourage a better understanding of the judicial system. As is often proven during the course of a trial, things may not always be as they would first appear. This may even be true of our National Day of Independence, the 4th of July. There is considerable historical evidence to suggest our founding fathers actually resolved and voted to cede from the British Empire (forming our new nation) on July 2, 1776 -- not July 4. The exact wording of our Declaration of Independence was debated by the Continental Congress for two days before it was formally adopted on July 4. Substantial evidence also suggests that the famous Declaration was actually signed on Aug. 2, 1776 -- not July 4. Are you beginning to understand the di-

lemma often faced by members of the judiciary? As the old saying goes, “there are three sides to every story.” Whatever the appropriate day for celebrating our independence, the 4th of July has considerable significance in our country’s history. Thomas Jefferson, credited with authoring the Declaration of Independence, and John Adams were the only two signatories of the Declaration to be elected president. Ironically, they both died on its 50th anniversary, on July 4, 1826. Our fifth president, James Monroe, did not sign the document but passed away on July 4, 1831. President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4, 1872. Our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” is synonymous with our Independence Day celebrations. I am well aware of the public’s general view of lawyers and sometimes share their disdain. A friend of mine recently gave me

a plaque that says, “The more I get to know my fellow lawyers, the more I love my dog.” However, I must point out Francis Scott Key, the author of the National Anthem, was an attorney. In September of 1814, Key was sent by President James Madison to Baltimore, MD, on the eve of the famous bombardment of Fort McHenry. He was to negotiate with the British for the release of a captured physician, Dr. William Beanes. The British acquiesced to the release with the condition the parties could not leave until the battle concluded. Thus, Key witnessed the spectacular display and recorded his thoughts in the immortal lyrics that inspire our nation. Ironically, the music adopted to accompany his lyrics derived from a tune composed in 1775 by John Stafford Smith – an Englishman. Please be careful and enjoy your holiday...on whatever day you choose.

My country celebrates Independence Day this week. Freedom will be celebrated, and thanks will be expressed for the freedoms that we have. It is marvelous to be free to speak, free to exercise religion, free to possess weapons to defend ourselves, free to assemble, free to print things critical of the government, free to pursue life and happiness. All our freedoms are wonderful and we ought to celebrate them. However, the Bible speaks of a better and more important freedom. Before looking at that more important freedom, we ought to first admit that only God is truly free. No one else is free to do as he/she chooses. As U.S. citizens we have some semblance of freedom, but we are not truly free to do as we please. Each of us has some restraints on our behavior. There are certain things we are not allowed to do. Furthermore, only God can declare that He is going to do a thing and be absolutely certain that He will do the thing. The rest of us cannot be certain that we will be able to do any single thing we set out to do, no matter how small a thing it might be. Death or circumstances might prevent us from completing the smallest of tasks. Thus, only God is truly free to do what He pleases. Romans 8:1-3 has a word for every member of the human race, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin.” (NASU) Because Christ lived a perfect life without sin, those who trust in Him are free from the penalty incurred by sin. It is a wonderful thing to be freed from that terrible penalty. Jesus has a word for those who believe in Him, John 8:31-37, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that you say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (NASU) Sin may involve a fleeting pleasure but it always becomes a terrible and tyrannical master. Those who look to Christ, moving forward in the knowledge of Him, will be freed from bondage of sin. Revelation 21:3-4 speaks of yet another freedom, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain.” (NASU) One day, all who have trusted Christ will be freed from the very presence of sin. All the vestiges of sin will be wiped away. Sin is the cause of pain, suffering, and death. Freedom from the penalty of sin, freedom from bondage to sin, and freedom from the very presence of sin equals real, true, everlasting freedom.

COUNTRY MUSIC TELEVISION

Video features county scenes

( continued from page 1)

But Luminary Creative has been very successful, winning many awards, including numerous Emmy and Telly awards; and is now in its eighth year. The crew is all skilled in music videos, advertising, political ads, brand videos, feature films, short films, corporate videos and government contracted videos. To see some of their work you can visit www.luminarycreative.com. Luminary Creative was filming a movie in Minnesota when Mike and Jacob worked with actor Bryson Sams, a cast member. Bryson’s father, Dean Sams, is a founding member of Lonestar, the famous country music band. After the film wrapped Dean Sams asked Luminary to submit a video treatment for an upcoming song release for Lonestar. “Our video for ‘Just the Rain’ was the unanimous pick among the band members,” Mike said. A year later, Luminary was called back to do another video for Lonestar’s tenth studio album, “Never Enders”. “That was when we started meeting a lot of agents and music people in Nashville,” says Mike. We made the decision to open up our second office there.” Ashley Hewitt of Post Monroe, worked

with Luminary on the set of a movie. She loved working with Jacob, Luminary’s director, and wanted to work with him on her videos. Later she and Duncan formed Post Monroe. Post Monroe is a country duo comprised of Whitney Duncan and Ashlee Hewitt. Post Monroe was named Rolling Stone Country’s ‘10 Artists You Need To Know’ and have performed multiple times on The Grand Ole Opry. They are also part of CMT’s Next Women of Country. Luminary Creative has done six videos for the singing group to date. This year Post Monroe called and explained that due to the recent success on iTunes, CMT wanted a video for their new song, “Coke & Rum.” “We have been extremely busy, and only had one available day on our calendar, so we told them they had to come to us,” Mike says. “We were worried if the weather wasn’t good we would miss the window.” Mike, who grew up at Lake Viking, thought the lake would be the perfect backdrop for the video. The filming was done the night of Friday, June 15, and wrapped around 1 a.m. the following Sunday morning. “Everyone in the community jumped

on board and helped us,” he says. “They provided us with everything we needed for the video. We asked for two special trucks and we had them in 10 minutes.” The Gallatin square is used in one video scene and Mayor Barb Ballew’s home was also used as a location. The town was filmed at night and appeared empty except for the two Post Monroe girls cruising around. They drive through the one stop light in town and see the girls’ crushes in a truck. They pull over in front of Elbert’s where the scene ends. Another scene is filmed on a long gravel road near Altamont. The rest of the scenes are filmed at Beach One at Lake Viking. “We scouted Lake Viking prior to shooting the video,” says Mike. “The three minutes of video came out of 18 hours of film footage. Luminary had worked previously with Randy Tague of the Lake Viking Marina. Luminary filmed a commercial for the marina last summer. Randy helped introduce Luminary to Jackie and Kenny Derks. The Derks loved the idea of filming at their beautiful lake home and opened their doors to Luminary. “They have the perfect dock built for fun!” said Mike. “Kenny and Jackie Derks

were incredible hosts. They invited 50 of their closest friends, family, and neighbors to be extras. They provided food and drinks for everyone. As well as inviting Post Monroe to stay with them while filming. They personally cooked and served all the meals. They went above and beyond, we couldn’t be more grateful to Derks for their hospitality!” The premier of the video is being handled by CMT (Country Music Television). CMT will debut the video Wednesday, July 4, 2018. The video will be in rotation during CMTs’ regular weekend programming. “We would also like to thank the City of Gallatin, Mayor Barb Ballew, the Lake Viking Association, Shad Mort, the Lake Viking Fire Department volunteers, Lake Viking Marine, Rob’s Cycle and everyone that helped us in the making of “Coke & Rum” music video. “I think growing up at the Lake, going to a small school, working at the McDonald’s Tea Room, and being surrounded by so many great people in our community has really helped me in all of the videos I do today,” said Mike. “I think it’s easier to connect with people when you come from a small town; it has been a place I have drawn a lot of inspiration from in all of my video work.”
