Gallatin native’s movies air on Syfy tomorrow

M M M M

On Aug. 14, Gov. Michael Parson announced the appointment of Jim Ruse of Gallatin as the Daviess County Presiding Commissioner.

Mr. Ruse was the successful Republican candidate in the Primary Election and has no opposition in the General Election.

The office was recently vacated

by Randy Sims, who resigned to move to Florida.

Ruse retired as the assistant superintendent of the Chillicothe R-2 School District. He previously served as the superintendent of the Gallatin R-5 School District for 20 years.

Mr. Ruse holds an education specialist degree, a master of science degree, and a bachelor of science degree from Northwest Missouri State University. He and his wife, Shelia, reside east of Gallatin.

Public meetings of the Daviess County Commission are regularly scheduled for each Wednesday morning on the second floor of the courthouse in Gallatin.

Ruse joins David Cox of Jamesport (1st District) and Wayne Uthe of Altamont (2nd District) to comprise the commission currently serving Daviess County.

Dr. Lee Rogers, a 1996 graduate of Gallatin R-5 High School and now from Las Vegas and Los Angeles, used connections from his medical practice to produce several films in the thriller and shark comedy genre. Three of Lee’s movie productions can be viewed tomorrow on the Syfy Channel.

Here’s how Lee got into the movie business. One of Lee’s medical patients was Stephen Furst, who played the character of Flounder in Animal House

(1978). Lee became friends with Stephen and his son, Griff Furst (The Founder, The Magnificent 7) and produced the psychological thriller Cold Dr. Lee Rogers Moon with Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) which made its theatrical debut in 2017. It’s available on iTunes and Amazon.

Lee has also produced mov-

the Bell), Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), and Tara Reid (American Pie, Sharknado).

Nightmare Shark (2018) is premiering this year during the Aug. 16 lineup.

These movies will replay several other times on Syfy during Sharknado Week and throughout the year. Lee’s movies are also available on syfy.com.

Lee has been visiting family and friends in the Gallatin area, showing “small town America” to his friend, Daiane Ferreira.

Judge Chapman a finalist for Court of Appeals seat

Judge Thomas N. Chapman, presiding judge of the 43rd Judicial Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and Livingston counties) is one of three nominees who has been submitted to fill the vacancy on the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

This vacancy exists due to the March 2018 retirement of Judge James E. Welsh.

Zel M. Fischer, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri and chair of the Appellate Judicial Commission, announced the panel of nominees on Aug. 8.

They will be submitted to Governor Mike Parson. The governor has 60 days to select one

member of the panel to fill the vacancy. Should he fail to do so, the Missouri Constitution directs the commission to make the appointment.

This panel of three nominees was selected from an initial field of 15 applicants for the vacancy, who were announced on July 20.

The commission unanimously supports the three nominees, chosen after approximately five hours of public interviews, more than 1.5 hours of deliberations and four rounds of balloting. Besides Judge Chapman, the other two nominees are W. Ann Hansbrough from Platte County and W. Douglas Thomson from Nodaway County.

Backpack Buddies program sends hunger packing in local school district Backpack Buddies sponsors want to send hunger packing again this year for 60 of the Gallatin School District’s neediest children.

Backpack Buddies is a supplemental food program that provides six balanced weekend meals and two healthy snacks to students from food-insecure homes. Over 50% of the children in the Gallatin R-5 School District qualify for free or reduced lunches.

School staff see the results of hunger firsthand. Hungry children are tired, grumpy and distracted in class.

“We’ve had students get off the bus stating they haven’t had breakfast and are hungry,” says Shonna Morrison, elementary school counselor. “We try to make sure they don’t head to class without something to eat.

Otherwise, they won’t be able to focus and class work suffers.”

While the school cafeteria can provide stable meals during the five-day school week, what happens when the weekend rolls around?

Backpack Buddies is a supplemental weekend feeding program of Second Harvest Community Food Bank. Teachers will stuff the student’s backpack full of kid-friendly meals, fresh, canned and packaged foods — foods that make up a healthy breakfast, lunch and snack, foods that the young people can open and prepare themselves in case there’s nobody home to help.

ies for TV on the Syfy Channel’s version of Shark Week, dubbed Sharknado Week. Three of Lee’s shark movies will air back-toback, starting at 4 p.m. on Aug. 16 on the Syfy Channel. The lineup is Atomic Shark at 4 p.m., Trailer Park Shark at 6 p.m. and Nightmare Shark at 8 p.m.

Atomic Shark (2016) stars David Faustino (Married with Children). Lee makes a cameo as a parasailer and victim of the shark. Trailer Park Shark (2017) stars Dennis Haskins (Saved by

Students receive the food each weekend during the school year, including extended breaks.

Four rotating menus are used during the year to provide a variety of nutritious items.

Last year Gallatin had over 60 children sign up for the program and about the same number have signed up this year. It’s not just elementary students who participate. Students in kindergarten through 12th grade may sign up for the program.

The junior high/high school version of Backpack Buddies is more expensive than elementary, so school staff took it upon themselves to shop and purchase the food and package it for this age group. Joyce Cox, R-5 high school counselor, worked in conjunction with FBLA to make this happen, adding to the time and investment needed to make the program work at Gallatin.

“Last year the high school students really looked forward to getting that bag of food on Friday afternoons,” says Mrs. Cox. “As the year went on, they told me what items they really liked,

Chapman was born in 1966.

He earned his bachelor of arts, summa cum laude, in political science in 1988 from Westminster College in Fulton; his law degree in 1991 from the University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville; and his masters in law in taxation in 1995 from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. In addition to Fischer, the commission is composed of Michelle Beckler of Marshfield, Scott S. Bethune of Kansas City, Thomas K. Neill of St. Louis, Kathy Ritter of Columbia, Edward “Nick” Robinson of St. Louis and Donald E. Woody of Springfield.

Dead dog suitcase

by F reida M arie C rum p

May the waters run deep Boy, the west side of our county has endured a rough few weeks. First the water outage and then the power outage while summer’s heat and drought was at its worst. Whew!

Water supply remains a major concern, especially for communities like neighboring Cameron and Hamilton which rely on reservoirs. Maybe we should pay more attention to regional plans calling for a water transmission system.

This is not a new idea, not a knee jerk response to this summer’s drought. Since 2004 county officials and water customers throughout Northwest Missouri have discussed the possibility of a new regional water transmission grid that would provide consistent, safe and clean water to the entire region.

In 2009 a study of 39 water systems in the region indicated that only 11 had an estimated lifespan of 15 years or more. That meant many water systems already outlived their useful life. And that was nine years ago.

So, one idea was proposed to connect counties in the area by water pipes, allowing for a looped water supply to be shared by each county. If a county had to cut off water supply due to a drought, flood or contamination, officials could reroute water from another area. The water

transmission grid might also be viewed as a plus should some ag industry require a large volume of quality water to begin business here.

th

itor s

by Darryl Wilkinson

Such ideas like this are still valid. But it’s hard to educate and motivate during times when drought isn’t making headlines.

So, lots of talk spawned little action.

Improving water supply, however, is more than just talk over near Milan. This week the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) hosted a “Bottom of the Lake” event to announce the advancement of the East Locust Creek Reservoir project. This is a major project that should positively impact all of North Missouri.

The East Locust Creek Reservoir will be a 2,350-acre multipurpose lake primarily designed to provide water to a 10-county region. That’s about 3.5 times the water acreage of Lake Viking!

All of the land for the reservoir has been acquired. The demolition of some 77 structures and land clean-up is nearly complete. Dam and spillway design is nearing completion. Permitting, mitigation and final financing are in their final phase. To date, $50 million of the approximately $110 million project has been programmed or spent.

About three years ago a number of meetings were held proposing “Strong Economies Together” (SET). The initiative was to develop a “Green Hills Heritage Highway” involving Daviess, Grundy and Sullivan counties. There was much discussion about how Lake Viking, at the west side of this area, and the East Locust Creek Reservoir located four miles north of Milan at Boynton would be recreational and water source anchors for developing these three counties.

Ideas, like crops, need nurturing and plenty of water for growth. During times of normal rainfall are times when ideas to improve water supply must take root. The old “follow through” requires persistence and usually more than a little luck, nurturing possibilities into reality.

Hats off to the folks that made the East Locust Creek Reservoir possible. May the water run deep and the roots of success grow even deeper in the years ahead.

Greetings from Poosey. ’Twas told to me as true and the little gal was such a sweetheart that I had no choice but to believe her.

According to Ellie, she has a good friend who lives in Chicago and this particular friend owned a large dog of some sort. The hound was not the little ankle-biting house trotter but a full-sized beast and her very best friend. But even big dogs have an expiration date and her dog died one day last week leaving the girl with the body of a very large animal to dispose of. It seems as though the Windy City has certain ordinances against burying large animals or leaving them out for the garbage man so she called her vet and he told her that his clinic takes care of the disposition of pets if she could somehow get the dog’s body across town to his office.

Ellie said that her friend is on the tiny side and the prospect of carrying her departed pup across Chicago was out of the question, so the girl went searching around her neighborhood for someone who had a large suitcase that they wanted to dispose of. The girl found just such a case, rolled Rover into it, snapped up the latches and took out across the city.

The gal really had no idea how much a big dog weighed until she started dragging him down the steps of her apartment building and the prospect of carrying the suitcase the two blocks to the El train was daunting. But what choice did she have? She said, “I tried not to make a spectacle of myself, but I know that people were staring since I was practically dragging the thing down the street.” Waiting at the El station drew a multitude of stares. “Some people sort of felt sorry for me,” she said, “and some just thought I was nuts.”

Finally the train arrived. “I was really tired by then and I actually dragged the suitcase into the car. All the seats were taken so I had to stand. Then I thought, what the heck, I’ll just have a seat on the suitcase.” According to Ellie, her little pal was so short that her feet swung back and forth at each stop on the journey. “All I wanted to do was to get off the darned thing,” she said. “I wondered how long a dog could be dead before it started smelling but no one seemed to notice anything.”

When she arrived at her destination the girl pulled the dog-filled suitcase off the train and onto the concrete platform, then she looked up and saw a vision even more demoralizing. “There must have been thirty steps,” she said. “It was going to take the rest of the morning for me to pull that suitcase up one step at a time, but I didn’t have any choice. That’s when he came up to me.”

She said that a young fellow in sweatshirt and blue jeans approached her and said, “Need a hand with that?” She said, “I thought ‘thank God, I’m saved,’ and told him that yes, I could really use some help getting up that flight of stairs. He sort of smiled at me and then grabbed onto the handles of the suitcase. Then he said, ‘Whoa! That’s a load, girl!’” She smiled, shrugged, and agreed that the suitcase weighed a great deal. “Then he asked me the question that I was afraid he’d ask.” The young Samaritan asked her what she had inside the suitcase.

She said, “I couldn’t tell him that it was a dead dog. There are crazy people all over Chicago and I didn’t want him to think that I was one of them.” The gal silently weighed several alternative lies to tell her good-hearted helper and finally decided on something that seemed halfway believable. “It’s some computer equipment,” she said. Then thinking that the weight of the case was over the limit for any one computer she added, “In fact, it’s two computers. I’m taking them to my new apartment.”

“Two computers? Really?”

“Yeah. I just got them and didn’t want to damage them so I put them in this suitcase.” She said that the guy didn’t miss a beat or say a thing. He just took off down the tracks lugging the suitcase. The thief was making his own tracks with the body of her dead dog.

She told Ellie, “All week I’ve been trying to imagine what his face looked like when he opened the suitcase. I hope he was in a crowd of people.”

Well, that was about the funniest story I’d heard in a long time and I couldn’t help but wish that with the fall elections coming up and the Russians or someone else tries to hack into our election machinery, that they come up with a dead dog. I can dream, can’t I? You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Duck boat tragedy puts focus on trial attorney fees

by Ralph Voss

It would be difficult to find someone that has not heard about the duck boat accident near Branson that resulted in the deaths of 17 people. Most people have also heard about the lawsuits filed by family members of those who died.

The first lawsuit was filed on behalf of members of the Coleman family from Indiana, which suffered the loss of nine of the 11 family members on the boat at the time it sank. The family is asking for $100 million in damages.

A second lawsuit was filed by three daughters of a couple that also died in the accident. In this column I will be focusing on the first lawsuit (the Colemans) because this is where the action will be centered.

The cases are interesting for a variety of reasons. First, the principal defendant has virtually unlimited resources — something lawyers refer to as “deep pockets.”

The duck boat company that operated the business was purchased recently by Ripley Entertainment, an outgrowth of the old Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Ripley is a very large operation, but small in comparison to its parent, The Jim Pattison Group of Vancouver, Canada. Pattison is the largest car dealer in western Canada, as well

as the owner of numerous Peterbilt and titled to nothing until the attorneys came John Deere dealerships, along with food on board. Does that make sense? Is there and media companies.

Our readers write...

Dear Congressman Graves, In your article in the Gallatin North Missourian (April 1, 2018) entitled “We need to build the wall,” you had the opportunity to explain to your readers and constituents your reasons, accompanied by facts, for your support of a wall on the southern border.

Our Representatives should be encouraging civil discourse about the many issues that face our country today and your article could have facilitated a constructive discussion addressing the pros and cons of “the wall.”

Instead you offered no factual information or reasons for your support of a wall and instead disparaged the “liberals” and “radical Left” who have voiced concerns about or proposed the elimination of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

With one simple sentence “You can’t make this stuff up!” you showed your contempt for an entire segment of our political population, gave permission for others who agree with you to do the same and slammed the door shut on any meaningful discussion on this topic.

If the object of your article was to discuss ICE and the job ICE agents do, then discuss it. Instead you tell us that you are “appalled” and that you think a proposal is “ridiculous.” You state they say they want a humane immigration system and that sounds to you like humane means open borders.

Well, I am a liberal, (whom you also represent) and I would like to explain to you what the outrage from liberals and conservatives, regarding ICE, is all about. It centers on the Zero Tolerance policy enacted by President Trump and Attorney General Sessions. An abhorrent policy that removes children from their parents placing them in separate holding facilities across our country. A policy previous administrations have chosen not to enact.

This policy by the Trump Administration was designed as a determent for illegal immigration.

Attorney General Sessions said the goal is for 100 percent of all illegal border crossers to be referred

by DHS to federal prosecutors and charged with improper entry by an alien, facing up to six months in prison. Families who are caught will be separated, with children sent to juvenile facilities.

You are correct in saying ICE has been doing their job too well. Over 2,000 children, some as young as nine months, were taken from their parents and sent to these holding facilities for an indefinite period of time. As I write this many of the children after months of separation have been reunited with their parents, but only after a federal judge ruled the government had to reunite them.

Right now, there are still 572 children who have not been reunited and may end up orphans. And so, we hear an outcry by politicians from both sides, human rights activists, church leaders and everyday people for a humane immigration system so this never happens again in our country.

There is a discussion to be had on our immigration policies and a wall might be part of the solution to this complex issue. Personally, as a native Californian until 12 years ago, I think there are better solutions to illegal immigration, including 21st century technology. But we must remember while we discuss this that not all who seek to enter our country are criminals with a desire to do harm “wreaking havoc in communities in Missouri.” Many are fleeing hardships in their own countries, refugees seeking asylum.

We are a country of people who care about others and we seek humane answers to our problems, including immigration. In case you have forgotten this, I will refer you to the lady in the harbor and what she has to say on the subject:

Turnout for the Aug. 7 Primary Election was a landmark for our county. Almost 34% of eligible voters turned out to have their voices heard on Proposition A and the only local race we had, that of presiding commissioner. This was among the highest turnouts in the state of Missouri. Consequently, the supply of paper ballots, based on our voting history, ran out in the Altamont and Winston polling locations late in the day.

At no time was anyone denied the right to vote.

Electronic voting machines (OVI) were available at each voting location. These machines also produce a paper ballot record. Trained election judges were readily available at each polling location to give instruction and help voters use the electronic machines. I was pleased to see many voters took advantage of the optional OVI machines, even in poll-

ing locations that had ample ballots, as increased use will potentially save Daviess County taxpayers thousands of dollars in sky-rocketing printing costs.

If any voter has questions or concerns about the voting process, please contact me at the county clerk’s office, as my door is always open, and I would be happy to speak to you. Voters may also call me at 660-663-2641 during business hours, 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It is important to me that each voter knows I am committed to ensuring everyone has an opportunity to cast his ballot, and that each ballot is counted accurately.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

-- The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus, Nov. 2, 1883

To the Voters of Daviess County...

Ronetta Burton, Election Authority Daviess County Clerk

case is wrong. A contingency fee is not warranted. Remember, a contingency fee is justified only if there is a possibility of non-recovery and if plaintiffs must wait a long time to recover.

In this case the attorneys more than likely will not have to wait long to recover a large amount of money. If they charge one-third or more under those conditions, Hawley should be investigating them.

Rest assured Hawley will never do that. He and Claire McCaskill, who will almost certainly be his opponent this fall in the U.S. Senate race, are both compromised by the trial lawyers.

But the real culprits here are the members of the Missouri Supreme Court, who should be controlling contingency fees but are not. To get action in this area, the thing to do is vote against the Supreme Court judges up for retention this November. They are Mary Rhodes Russell, who was appointed in 2004 by Democratic Gov. Bob Holden, and Wesley Brent Powell, who was named to the court in 2017 by Republican Gov. Eric Greitens.

Backpack Buddies (continued from page 1) so I would remember to include them. Teenagers are always hungry, and it was good to know that these students had nutritious items and fun snacks to get them through the weekends.”

The cost to sponsor a child for an entire year is $175, about $25 more per child than last year.

Any amount of money, large or small, will be put together to sponsor the children.

“This year we will need to raise approximately $10,500 to continue to support the same number of children in our school district,” says Ms. Holcomb, Gallatin R-5 business education teacher and FBLA sponsor.

Gallatin FBLA students facilitate the program by collecting donations and delivering food to the classroom; however, the FBLA students have no idea which children receive the backpacks. That information is confidential. And non-judgmental.

The food can be a big help to households whose life circumstances are disrupted for a variety of reasons.

“We have had parents ask about Backpack Buddies as they transfer into our school,” says Ms. Morrison. “Also, requests have been made due to changes, such as divorce and loss of a job.”

The Backpack Buddies program is a popular service project. It is not labor intensive and the results are tangible.

“It is an awesome way for churches, organizations, and community members to give directly to the children in our community,” said Ms. Holcomb. “All of the money stays right here in Gallatin and services our children.”

Ms. Morrison notes that it’s very rare for students to leave their backpacks behind on Friday. “They’re pretty excited to get on the bus with a little something extra for the weekend,” she says.

Ms. Holcomb adds, “I specifically have had a junior boy in high school stay after class to let me know how grateful he was for the backpack food and how much it helped his family. It takes a lot for a junior boy to take the time to say ‘thank you!’”

If you are interested in participating in the Backpack Buddies program, send donations to Gallatin R-5 Backpack Buddies, c/o Barb Holcomb, 602 South Olive Street, Gallatin, MO 64640.

Back in the Day... ● Aug. 15, 1953 – The first of many cobra snakes was found slithering around Springfield, MO. For two months people armed with garden hoes and police with their guns killed many of the serpents.

The Way Out

Deer hunting comes with traditions shared by families and friends, hunts afield and good times in camps. For half a century, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has shared one more tradition with northwest Missouri hunters, answering the question of whether their trophy deer qualify for record books. MDC will host the 50th annual Antler Measurement Day 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the East Hills Mall, 3702 Frederick Ave., in St. Joseph.

MDC’s Northwest Region staff organizes the free event and measures antlers to assist hunters. The antler measurements provide a score that hunters can use to see if their deer trophy qualifies for honors from private organizations such as Boone & Crockett, Pope & Young, Long Hunter Society, and Show-Me Big Bucks.

“The record books are to honor the animal, not the hunter,” said Conservation Agent Dave Carlisle, event organizer. “This is another way hunters honor the animal, and, I think everyone wants to know how their deer measures up.”

Another organizer is Conservation Agent Parker Rice, whose grandfather started the event in 1968. Phil Rice, a former MDC Protection regional supervisor, first scored antlers for hunters in the basement of his house. In 1937, when voters approved the Missouri Conservation Commis-

sion, the state’s deer herd numbered only a few hundred in the southeastern Ozarks. Sciencebased conservation and support from citizens brought them back.

But in 1968, deer were still less plentiful in northwest Missouri than today.

“When this was started back in the day, if somebody killed a big buck, it was a big deal,” Rice said. “Everybody still likes to see big bucks. I don’t think that’s changed in the last 50 years.”

Deer antlers are given scores based on counts and measurements that are applied to a formula. For example, scorers count or measure the number of tines, distance between tines, circumferences, inside spread between the main beams, and other factors. Hunters decide if they want to send paper work in to an organization for consideration.

Scoring stations will be set up in the mall. Hunters will check the trophy in with MDC staff and then check them back out after scoring. Found antlers that were

shed or that are attached to a skull cap will also be scored. An antler can be scored if only one shed antler from a pair is found.

Only deer will be measured, no other antlered species such as elk will be measured. The public is invited to drop by the mall and observe the deer antlers being scored.

MDC will also have staff on hand to answer hunter questions about white-tailed deer ecology, deer hunting, or any other upcoming hunting seasons. They will answer questions about hunter education classes and requirements. Another topic is the comprehensive deer study ongoing in northwest Missouri and the southeast Ozarks. Staff will also answer questions about deer diseases such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and hemorrhagic disease, also called bluetongue.

No water, no lights … go ahead and boil A pocket of people in Winston remains without water and some of them had the unpleasant surprise of also being without electricity on Monday night, Aug. 13.

According to Chasity Anderson, communications manager at Farmers Electric Cooperative, the electric outage was caused by an equipment failure at the Mable substation, a half mile north of Hwy. 36 in Cameron. The power supplier is N.W. Electric Power Cooperative out of Cameron. N.W. Electric repaired the equipment and restored the flow of power.

About 600 members were affected from Cameron to Weatherby and on the outskirts of those towns and were out of electricity from about 8:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Monday night.

T o o m uc h j ui c e According to Daviess County Emergency Management, the City of Pattonsburg experienced a power surge late Aug. 11 at their water plant that stopped the well pump from running.

By early Aug. 12 the city crew was able to transition the pump from an auto mode to manual mode to begin pumping water again. The water plant system went back to levels of normal operation for their customers, which includes PWSD #1.

PWSD #1 was forced to stop their pumps, as they purchase their water from the City of Pattonsburg. Water that was in the towers/tanks had been reduced to very low levels. Their pumps were restarted and towers/ tanks refilled to get pressure and flow back up to the PWSD

N o w a t er f o r m a ny Service to 717 water customers of Public Water Supply District #1 was disrupted for about a week after large calcium deposits clogged water lines. The outage began Aug. 2 for customers of the water district who live south of the Grand River, and south of the old town of Pattonsburg, which includes Altamont, Weatherby and Winston. Water was slowly restored and most customers were getting at least some flow by Aug. 7.

Deaths

C o l l een C r a b t r ee P i c k r en 1 9 3 6 -201 8 Funeral services for Colleen Crabtree Pickren were held Aug. 11 at Roberson Funeral Home, Bethany. Burial was in Miriam Cemetery, Bethany. Memorials may be made to Harrison County Cancer Transportation Fund in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 46, Bethany, MO 64424.

Colleen Crabtree Pickren, 81, Gilman City, formerly of Bethany, died Aug. 8, 2018, at a Bethany hospital.

Survivors include her husband, Richard Pickren, of the home; sons, Dick (Sue) Crabtree, Danny Crabtree, both of Bethany, Donny (Amie) Crabtree, Piedras Negras, Mexico, Rick (Honey) Pickren, Ozark, and Jack Pickren (Brande), Bethany; daughters, Patsy (Terry) Polley, Bethany, and Amy Pickren, Lawson; brother, Kenny Johnson, Bethany; 19 grandchildren; and 19 greatgrandchildren.

According to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, Mary Lou Browning is still at large after having been charged with four felonies on Aug. 2, after an audit of the City of Coffey revealed over $60,000 in missing funds. The state auditor’s office released the audit on July 12.

Browning was the city clerk at Coffey from September 2015 to August 2017 and solely responsible for the financial accounting functions and records of the city. She is charged with stealing $25,000 or more, C felony, stealing $750 or more, D felony, and two counts of D felony forgery.

Bond has been set at $35,000, with 10% cash deposit allowed.

N o w a t er f o r a f ew In the meantime, water line breaks are occurring west of Winston and including some of the Weatherby community. One leak happened around Highway 6 and I- 35 and was repaired the night of Aug. 10.

Yet another water line break has happened and crews are working to locate it. This is around Hedge Road in DeKalb County.

A boil advisory remains in effect for all PWSD #1 customers.

It was incorrectly reported in last week’s edition that Browning had been arrested and was out on bond. We apologize for the error.

Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway recently issued a statement following the filing of felony charges against Browning.

“Betrayal of public trust demands immediate action to restore the confidence of taxpayers. I appreciate the quick response by Prosecuting Attorney Annie Gibson in light of my audit last month. My office stands ready to assist law enforcement as this case proceeds.”

God asks penetrating questions. We should pay attention. God had some interesting questions for Cain in Genesis Chapter 4.

Cain and his brother, Abel, each brought offerings to the Lord. Abel's offering was acceptable, Cain's was not. The Bible does not spell out the reason why one offering was accepted and the other was not. What it does say is that Cain was angry, very angry.

In Genesis 4:6-12 God demanded some answers from Cain. “Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? "If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it." Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground. "Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. "When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth." (NASU) Self-examination is painful but necessary. Aren't you and I just like Cain? When our shortcomings are brought to light, we get defensive and angry, rather than trying to learn from the criticism and modify our attitudes and behavior. Genesis 4 says that not only was Abel's offering accepted, but so was Abel himself. Cain himself was not acceptable, just like his offering was not. Therefore, he must have felt personally attacked. He chose to become very angry.

Cain could have chosen to make a new acceptable offering, which would certainly have required a change in his attitude. We have the same choice Cain had. We can respond in a new attitude in correcting our mistake or we can lash out. Often innocent victims receive the brunt of our unrighteous anger. It seems to me that we could avoid much grief if we would attempt to use moments of self-examination to fall in line with God's purposes.

God accompanied His questions to Cain with a warning and an additional truth about the privilege of learning from our mistakes. God pointed out that sin is not passive. It is aggressive, crouching at our door, looking for an opportunity to become ruler over us. God reminded Cain that it was all up to Cain. If Cain, you, and I do what is right, we and our offerings will be accepted. Cain chooses wrongly and often so do we.

The story ends tragically as Cain's anger takes him to its logical end, striking out against an innocent person. The result for Cain is that God will soon be asking him a far more difficult question regarding the end result of his unrighteous anger (v.9-10).

You and I will make mistakes. Self-examination will need to be a regular and consistent part of our lives. Will we choose the way of Cain: impure motives followed by unrighteous anger, leading to violence against an innocent victim? If we do, we can be certain that discipline and punishment will follow.

Take God's advice, do what is right. Take advantage of the privilege of repentance and transformation. You will save yourself and others much grief.

City to see if well will work; new water plant still has problems with clarifiers

Shelba Runyan’s home selected for Yard of the Month Shelba Runyan, 801 West Ogden Street in Gallatin, was selected for Y ard of the Month for August by the Gallatin Garden and Craft Club. Shelba has hostas, impatiens, begonias and daisies growing in her garden.

A sweet potato plant frames an arch at the entrance of her porch. Shelba said she has had to water a lot this year to k eep her garden look ing so pretty.

Funding for Lake in North-Central state announced

McKay Marble, Grace Madison and John Gibson I I I attended Advance Air Academy 2018. L ogan B urns was accepted to the academy but did not attend.

Students take off at Air Academy John Gibson III and McKay Marble of Gallatin High School and Grace Madison of Chillicothe High School were recently chosen by Experimental Aircraft Association (EEA) Chapter 944 to be sent to the Advanced Air Academy in Oshkosh, WI, from July 17-25.

The camp combines “in-theair” and “on-the-ground” handson activities. The camp also includes full participation (access to forums, flight line and all associated activities) in EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, WI, the world’s premier aviation event.

The EAA was able to send these young adult to the academy through the donations received at the annual Fly-In/Drive-In event. This year’s Fly-In/DriveIn will be Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Chillicothe Municipal Airport, Chillicothe. Breakfast will begin at 7 a.m. with the opening ceremony at 8 a.m.

The three students provided the following insights into their experience at the academy.

— John Gibson III, Gallatin High School, son of John and Janece Gibson: Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Advance Air Academy in Oshkosh, WI. I first heard about the Academy through Gallatin High School, and I am so grateful that I did.

It was an amazing experience in which I learned about all kinds of opportunities and careers available in the field of aviation. Besides furthering my knowledge of career options, my classmates and I learned many skills as well.

To name a few, we were taught how to calculate the weight and balance of an airplane, several new welding techniques, how to read weather reports, and finally, how to turn fiberglass cloth into airplane skin.

Overall, my favorite experiences at the Academy were flying in the simulators, helicopter rides, and exploring the air show for two days.

I would have to say that my love for aviation stems from my early years. My dad is a pilot, and vintage airplane collector, and I have spent my whole life around planes and attending air shows like Oshkosh.

While I will probably not pursue a career in flight, I am currently working on getting my private pilot license so I can continue to fly throughout college. My favorite plane is the SR71 Blackbird because no other plane compares to its stealth and speed.

— McKay Marble, Gallatin High School, Son of David and Kristen Marble: I learned a lot about the aerodynamics of flying and the importance of the weather during the Advance Air Academy. My favorite part was the workshops, especially the welding, sheet metal, and woodworking. I’ve just always thought planes were really cool. I’m not planning on a career, but definitely flying recreationally in the future. I don’t have a favorite plane, but the Voyager is really interesting. I heard about the academy from my school counselor.

— Grace Madison, Chillicothe High School, granddaughter of Wayne and Jenny Steele: I learned at the Advance Air Academy that using your hands isn’t so scary after all; it’s okay to ask for help; and it’s okay not to be sure of yourself. The workshop class and going into the museum was my favorite part. It was fascinating and I learned so much.

Oddly, I think my interest in aviation took off in third grade when I started reading about Pearl Harbor. I intend to go to school for aviation. My favorite airplane is the F4F Wildcat. I heard about the Academy through my high school and others who went there. I would recommend this camp to anyone who even has a slight interest in aviation.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service today announced the availability of $20 million for construction of a lake that will serve 10 north-central Missouri counties.

State Conservationist J.R. Flores made the announcement at a location near Milan that will be at the bottom of East Locust Creek Reservoir when the reservoir is completed. The 2,352-acre reservoir will provide water for Adair, Chariton, Grundy, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Mercer, Putnam, Schuyler and Sullivan counties. It also will reduce flooding, store sediment, and provide water-based recreational opportunities.

The $20 million that Flores announced is part of a total commitment of what could amount to about $59 million from NRCS. The agency previously obligated $19 million in smaller allotments to assist with land acquisition, planning and design. Flores said that, at the discretion of Congress, another $20 million could be made available from NRCS later in the construction process.

Local and state funding accounts for the rest of the $110 million total cost of the project.

“This marks a big step in the process because this funding will go toward actual construction of the dam that will provide a muchneeded, dependable water supply for this area,” Flores said.

“It has taken a lot of work over a lot of years by people from the local level all the way up to Washington, D.C. But their efforts are paying off. This is the point that signifies that this reservoir is really happening.”

Harve Rhodes, North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission chairman, said the idea for the reservoir was born in 2006.

Brad Scott, general manager of the water commission, said the reservoir will sit among 4,300 acres, all of which were purchased from landowners without the need to invoke imminent domain.

He said a 79-foot dam across East Locust Creek will create the 2,352-acre body of water that will be 6.5 miles long and will have 82 miles of shoreline. Scott said nearly all 77 structures that were in the pool area have already been removed, and dam and spillway designs are nearing completion. He estimates that construction of the dam will begin next fall and the reservoir should be fully filled in late 2021.

Public Works Director Mark Morey provided a proposed assessment of Well #1 to the Gallatin Board of Aldermen during their meeting held Aug. 13. The assessment will be done by Utility Service Co., Inc. The proposal includes cleaning and testing Well #1 which is located on the north side of Highway 6. The test will indicate if the well can still be used and will also assess the water quality coming from the well. The board accepted the proposed assessment of Well #1 from Utility Service Co., Inc. for $9,800.

According to City Administrator Tony Stonecypher, the well has not been in use for about 10 years.

“According to our understanding, the well experienced an equipment failure,” Mr. Stonecypher said. “Rather than put money back into it, the city at that time decided to let it sit.

Now the state wants us to either fix it or abandon and cap it. Utility Service will evaluate the well and see if it is worth keeping and bringing online or not.”

Mr. Morey reported that water operators have been very busy with the new water plant. They have been experiencing issues with the clarifiers plugging up and then getting the lime sludge to settle back out after the clarifiers are unplugged. There are no issues with the finished water quality, just the maintenance/ operational side of the plant that is still being worked out.

Electric crews have been busy replacing poles and trimming trees on East Mill. The clarifier at the waste water plant is still getting worked on. LED lights have been installed in the waste water plant lab.

Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for Aug. 13: one found property; one arrest warrant; one burglary; two assaults; one peace disturbance; one theft; one domestic disturbance; one welfare check; one trespassing; one alarm; one civil standby; one theft, license plate; two animal control; one vandalism; three agency assistance. There are two dogs in the pound.

Chief Richards led a discussion on hiring a full-time police officer which will include a benefits package. The board agreed.

The July transaction report was approved. Bills in the amount of $199,622.46 were approved for payment.

The board reviewed the July 2018 Financial Review. The board reviewed Eichler’s bookkeeping review for June 2018.

Snyder’s invoice 112.0059.1134 in the amount of $11,779.18 was approved.

Park Board President Jeremy Dungy provided the board with an updated list of approved upgrades to the park including a new ball field fence, bathroom remodel, and pond dredging.

Steve Holcomb told the board during public comment that he

is planning on building a house on the south end of town. He is requesting the city provide water services and release electric services to Farmers’ Electric.

The board voted to allow Farmers’ Electric to serve the southernmost property within the city limits adjacent to Highway 13.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the City of Gallatin held Aug. 13 at city hall. Present were: Mayor Barb Ballew, President of Board John Whitfield, Aldermen Steve Evans, Carol Walker, Dan Lockridge, City Administrator Tony Stonecypher, City Clerk Hattie Bailey, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chief Mark Richards, Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett, Park Board President Jeremy Dungy, and Steve Holcomb.

Where to retire... and where not With only 17% of Americans reporting that they are “very confident” they will have enough money for retirement, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2018’s Best & Worst Places to Retire as well as accompanying videos.

To help Americans plan for a comfortable retirement without breaking the bank, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 46 key measures of affordability, quality of life, health care and availability of recreational activities.

The data set ranges from cost of living to retired taxpayerfriendliness to share of the population aged 65 and older.

Free test to see if nitrate levels high Nitrate contamination in groundwater supplies and wells is a concern, especially to infants, children under one year of age, and pregnant women. The Daviess County Health Department is now offering nitrate testing free of charge.

If the nitrate level is too high, the health department recommends having a bacterial analysis determine if a sewage problem is causing the increased level of nitrate. The cost of this test is $10.

Nitrate is the primary source of nitrogen for plants. Plants need this nutrient to survive. Nitrates are found naturally in the soil and are also used as a fertilizer by farmers. Septic tanks and lagoons are also a source of nitrates. If these nitrates become too excessive, they can make their way into groundwater supplies and contaminate wells.

Why is nitrate contamination a concern? Babies are extremely susceptible to nitrate poisoning especially during the first few months of life. The effects of this are a decrease in oxygen levels carried throughout the body. A baby can suffocate and die because of this nitrate poisoning.

Children under one year of age and pregnant women are at risk.

Nitrate poisoning can also affect livestock. Excess nitrate is harmful to infant pigs, horses and chickens; it is also harmful to adult sheep and cattle.

Nitrate is colorless, tasteless and odorless, so how do you know if your private water has excessive levels of nitrate? A chemical analysis of the water will determine the amount of nitrate.

For more information, please contact Colt Bohannon at the Daviess County Health Department.

Troop H seeks citizens for classes Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St Joseph, announces the Missouri State Highway Patrol will be conducting a Community Alliance Program at the Troop H Headquarters beginning Sept. 18 and concluding with an awards banquet on Oct. 16.

The mission of the Community Alliance Program is to provide personal interaction between area citizens and the Patrol. The program is designed to allow the public to learn more about the Patrol’s purpose and role within the law enforcement community.

The Highway Patrol is seeking responsible citizens, community leaders, students, and professional/business associates who are willing to commit to a program that provides a unique opportunity.

The classes will meet from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Troop H Headquarters in St Joseph. Successful completion of the program will require attendance at each Tuesday evening session (one absence will be allowed with prior approval from the program coordinator).

The curriculum will familiarize participants with many Patrol policies and procedures, utilizing teaching techniques similar to the Patrol’s Law Enforcement Academy in Jefferson City.

These sessions will cover traffic stops, firearms familiarization, marine operations, and many other aspects of the Patrol.

The Patrol is accepting applications for the Community Alliance Program through Aug. 31.

There is no cost to participate in the program. Selection of the 20 participants will be on a first come, first served basis and will be made following an evaluation of an application form and a criminal record check.

Any parties interested in participating in the program can contact Sergeant Jake Angle at (816) 387-2344 ext. 3847.

Come watch (or join!) the parade “Hometown Heritage” is the theme of the 34th annual Missouri Day Festival Parade. The Trenton Rotary Club announced the theme encouraging organizations, businesses, churches and individuals to help celebrate the importance of local history, historic individuals and cultural traditions as they plan their entries in the Oct. 20 festival parade. Organized in October of 1984, the Missouri Day Festival has grown into one of the largest fall festivals in the entire state.

The Trenton Rotary parade committee consists of Steve Taylor, Savannah Summers, Debbie Carman, Bob Overton, Kim Washburn, Phil Hoffman, Gary Jordan, Gary Black and Brian Upton. They will head up the parade this year with the assistance of nearly 20 other Rotarians, as they coordinate the efforts for the area’s premier parade.

The Oct. 20 parade will again begin at 8:30 a.m. and travel the streets of Trenton. And as in the

past, many high school marching bands will join in the parade as part of the Missouri Day Marching Band Festival- all highlighting the three-day festival.

Categories will soon be announced for the parade with prize money expected to exceed $1,000. Political entries will be required to pay $25 entry fee, with the funds used to offset parade expenses. A voluntary donation will be accepted for parade entries (suggestion is $20), but not required. Donations in the past have went toward handicap accessible playground equipment and the new turf project at C.F. Russell field. As in the past, candy will not be allowed to be thrown from parade entries; however, walkers in the parade may distribute candy. For information about the parade you can ask a Rotarian or visit the Trenton Chamber of Commerce web page at www.trentonmochamber.com and press the Missouri Day Festival tab.

Both inside and outside games were played. The Michael favorites of cards, croquet and softball were the highlights. The “Green Team” from the Hannibal and Columbia areas won the hard fought softball game.

Door prizes of cups of candy were won by Britt Bouyea and Alexis Mayo. The person coming the farthest for the reunion was Linda Harmes from West Bend, IA. Four people tied for the “first time coming to the reunion” prize. Cody Gregory won the final game of numbers. The Bryon Michael family had the “most members represented.”

The prize of honey from Ted Michael’s bees was given to their representative Vicki Stimpson of Harris. The “lucky number” winner of a flag and stand was Rebekah Michael Reece of Lee’s Summit.

A brief business meeting was held. After collection of $150 in donations the treasurer’s report showed $323. Those present voted to have next year’s reunion

on Aug. 3, 2019, at the Activity Building of First Baptist Church, Trenton.
