BYBRICE CHANDLERSTAFFWRITER
As the oldest high school basket-ball tournament in Missouri,changes are bound to happen – espe-cially after 96 years.
Unfortunately, as with manyother sporting events, this year’schanges will affect those attendingthe 96th
Annual Bowling Green Tourna-ment which takes place from Mon-day, Jan. 25-Saturday, Jan. 30.
As a safety measure against thespread of COVID-19, the BowlingGreen School District has imple-mented some new restrictions for at-tendees.
Game participants (team mem-bers, coaching staff, cheer teams,and other supporting members) willeach receive four tickets for gamestaking place in Bowling Green’s
High School gym. For games played in the Middle
School gym, participants will re-ceive two tickets because of its lim-ited seating.
Participants can share their ticketswith friends or family however theychoose. Those tickets will allow therecipient to pay for entry at the gate– setting adults back $4 and students$2.
Since each gym requires its owntickets at separate entry points, at-tendees are prohibited from walkinginside the building from one gym toanother.
Games are scheduled to start at 5p.m., and 7 p.m., in both gyms fromMonday through Friday in bothgyms.
The gates will also have stricteropening times. Doors will not openuntil 4:30 p.m., for fans of the first
games, and 6:40 p.m., for the secondset of games. Games will not startearly.
Another change affects fanswanting to remain for multiplegames.
In past years, fans and teamscould stay and watch the othergames; however, this year both willneed to leave the gym after theirgame ends.
Fortunately, some things will re-main the same. The concessionstand will remain open for those inneed of refreshments while cheeringon their favorite athlete.
Streaming services broadcastingthe tournament are available forthose who can’t watch in person.

On Saturday, Jan. 9 at approxi-mately 7:02 p.m., Audrain Countysheriff’s deputies conducted a vehi-cle stop with Robert Lee Kohl, 60,of Vandalia, along South MainStreet in Vandalia for an observedtraffic violation.
During the course of the trafficstop investigation, suspicious cir-cumstances led sheriff’s deputies torequest consent to search the vehi-cle.
Consent to search the vehiclewas denied; therefore, the AudrainCounty Sheriff’s Office canine unitwas requested to perform an exte-rior sniff of the vehicle.
Canine “Chal” alerted on the ve-hicle. A subsequent probable causesearch of the vehicle revealedmethamphetamine and drug para-phernalia commonly used in the il-legal distribution and use ofmethamphetamine within the vehi-cle.
As a result, Kohl was arrested fordelivery of a controlled substance(methamphetamine) and possessionof drug paraphernalia and trans-ported to the Audrain County Jailfor booking and processing.
The Audrain County Sheriff's Of-fice remains committed to workingwith our communities, communitypartners , and other area law en-forcement agencies to makeAudrain County a safe place towork and live. The support of andthe input from the community is ap-preciated.

VaccinesLet us brag on Caring people!As chair of the project called
“Spirit of Christmas” I want to bragon people in Louisiana, BowlingGreen, and Troy.
This year I thought because ofCovid that we would have problemslocating sponsors for our familiesneeding help for Christmas. Boy!Was I wrong! When the committeeand myself put out feelers for spon-sors we had a huge response. Wehad a total of 30 sponsors consistingof: 7 churches; 4 service organiza-tions; 10 businesses; and 9 individ-uals. These sponsors sponsored aspecific family, donated food, or do-nated money.
We had 29 families with a total of73 children. Louisiana businesses,individuals, churches, and organiza-tions stepped forward to help takecare of the Louisiana families.Bowling Green individuals stepped
forward to help some BowlingGreen families. And even a com-pany in Troy stepped forward tohelp a Louisiana family.
This is proof there are a lot of car-ing people who are not afraid toshow they care. These peoplehelped families feel they were notalone and that they were importantin our communities.
I want to commend our FoodPantry and its volunteers; the Cloth-ing Room and its volunteers and theMinisterial Alliance also for helpingfamilies in need. The quote: It takesa village to raise a child, also per-tains to it takes a community withcaring individuals to strengthen afamily.
May God Bless all of you forhelping make this year’s Spirit ofChristmas Project so successful!
