Brothers sentenced for sexual assaults at Amish residence Sentencing was held Jan. 8, for two brothers who sexually assaulted two underage females repeatedly while they lived at an Amish residence in rural Hamilton, located within Daviess County.

The brothers resided in Daviess County from April 2014 until May 2018. The charges were filed in January 2019.

Enos Ray Yoder, 22, pled guilty and was sentenced to seven years for incest, four years for sexual misconduct involving a child, 12 years for child molestation, and seven years for sodomy.

Four charges were dismissed.

OPINION

Jan 15, 2020

Keep it fun

I really enjoy listening to Tony Romo especially whenever he is the announcer for a KC Chiefs game like last Sunday’s playoff game. Tony reminds me of the late baseball announcer Joe Garagiola. Both mix intelligence and insight into a love for the game.

Joe once called a baseball playoff game which was approaching a crucial climax. And Joe took us around the horn, sharing what he thought was going through each player’s mind as the pitch count added tension. Maybe it was nerves. But Joe started babbling a run-on sentence, right there on national television, that seemed to be endless. He finally gasped for breath to conclude, “Man, there’s so much going on out there right now ...you just have no idea.”

Maybe some listeners were offended. But what came through most vividly was how Joe was having fun! That’s why I like it whenever Tony calls an NFL game. Somehow he takes something deadly serious and still makes it fun.

That’s our challenge this week at Gallatin Publishing Company.

Gallatin’s newspaper was lucky to be one of eight selected throughout Missouri to participate in the Potter Digital Ambassador Program. Thus, today

by Darryl Wilkinson we’re midway through a 5-day focus on new ways of presenting what we do on internet websites and particularly on social media platforms.

Our ambassador is Veronica Mohesky, an MU journalism student with considerable skill in social media delivery, reader engagement, analytics and video. Veronica is a Department Manager of 23News on MUTV and works as a reporter and anchor at KBIA, the National Public Radio station serving mid-Missouri. She plans to pursue a career in public radio. But the future isn’t any single media platform; journalists must embrace multi-media. And the future is now.

Veronica’s experiencing a bit of culture shock spending this week in Gallatin, after growing up in St. Louis and now into senior studies at the university. But once she grasped that a WalMart is about 30 miles away in three different directions, she’s settling in just fine.

Veronica is helping us slice through the confusion to embrace the right tools to catapult this newspaper’s outdated online presence to the latest and greatest. Literally. By coincidence, Wordpress and Google officially roll out a new platform specifically designed for small newspaper publishers on Feb. 1. We not only are aware but have integrated the new software into a development website which we anticipate will become the new www.NorthMissourian.com Video will increasingly be on display, and we’re brainstorming now on ways to supplement news stories we publish with insightful video clips.

We get it. If you’re one of the 4,700 viewers reached by our Facebook posts, you don’t care about the technicalities — the algorithms, the analytics, and the like. That’s the serious stuff discussed at our staff meetings this week. So, let’s keep things simple.

You’re going to notice big changes in the newspaper’s online presence. The website will be redesigned, Facebook expanded, and we’ve just initiated a new Twitter account which you can follow @NorthMissourian I know I’m not as entertaining nor insightful as Tony Romo or Joe Garagiola in sharing this. But like Joe once concluded, “Man, there’s so much going on out there right now ...you just have no idea.” So, let me say this: Even after all these years in the newspaper business, new developments excite me. Change can be fun.

Accurate broadband data essential

by Johnathan Hladik

The Pew Research Center finds that only 63% of rural Americans have a broadband internet connection at home, and 24% of rural adults consider access to high speed internet a major problem in their community.

Recent policy developments are designed to address this.

But, will they be enough?

In July, the Federal Communications Commission established the Digital Opportunity Data Collection program. This program will collect broadband access data at the address level, and use those results to direct funding meant to fill “gaps” in coverage. This is a big improvement over the current Census block approach, which causes dramatic overstatements of coverage.

While the commission has agreed to collect better data, they are leaving it up to the states to make sure that data is accurate.

This is where you come in.

The most cost effective way to verify broadband access data is through crowdsourcing. Crowd-

sourcing allows citizens to run their own internet speed tests, measure provider performance, and file formal complaints. But, right now, there are dozens of speed tests available, and no clear way to measure and report performance.

This problem is easy to solve.

Each state should develop a data improvement program that helps citizens participate in the verification process. This simple, low-cost solution can pay big dividends in rural homes and businesses.

Many states already feature robust programs. Others must get started. As legislative sessions begin around the country, we encourage lawmakers to take seriously their role in improving broadband in rural areas.

Editor’s note: Johnathan Hladik is the policy director for the Center for Rural Affairs. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

A line drawn in the sand

By Congressman Sam Graves

The United States must never tolerate terrorism. President Trump made that clear last week when he took decisive action to eliminate known Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani. With imminent threats looming, the President authorized a drone strike that killed the commander of Iran’s Quds force.

Ever since President Trump pulled out of the failed Iran Nuclear Deal, Iran has been provoking and threatening us. With each provocation, the President showed restraint. Ultimately, enough was enough. The President was right to get us out of the Iran Deal and he was right to eliminate a known terrorist.

Soleimani already had the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands, as well as the blood of many other men and women from around the world — all with the blessing of his country, the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism.

For years, Soleimani and his cronies built IEDs that were used to kill and maim American service members. He planned the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad just days before his death and he was prepared to carry out more attacks. The world is a safer place without him.

In response to the attack, the Iranian regime was desperate to retaliate in order to save face.

Their desperation led them to fire more than a dozen missiles into Iraq, targeting air bases where our troops were stationed.

However, we were ready — and thankfully no American lives were lost in the attack. President Trump made it clear in a speech to the nation that he plans to respond by tightening harsh sanctions on Iran — sanctions that punish the terrorist regime in Iran and limit their capability to carry out future attacks.

That said, we must remain vigilant and I know we will. I don’t trust Iran to keep their word and I don’t think anyone else does either. This is why we must continue to strengthen our military and I’m glad we did just that when we passed the defense bill last month.

Ultimately, nobody wants another war, especially Iran. Their leadership talks a big game, but they know an all-out war with America would be the end of the Iranian regime. Thus, our focus should be forcing the Iranian regime to abandon their campaign of terror and eliminating the possibility of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

I’m glad a major terrorist was eliminated this week and I’m

relieved that no American lives were lost in Iran’s attack on our service members. I continue to pray for the protection of our men and women in harm’s way who are defending us, and for their families during this uncertain time.

I am thankful President Trump has finally drawn a line in the sand: America won’t be smacked around, and we won’t back down when bullied.

Property rights, broadband the top priorities

By Blake Hurst

Every December, Farm Bureau delegates from across the state vote on our policy for the next year. Every January, the Missouri Legislature arrives in Jefferson City for a new legislative session. Farm Bureau will be in the Capitol every day throughout the session, working to put our members’ policy into state law. It’s hard work getting bills through the legislature, but our track record has been good.

Or as the Stones put it: “You can’t always get what you want/but if you try sometimes, well you might find/you get what you need.” So, here’s a short list of what we not only want, but need as well.

The Missouri Court of Appeals has given the go-ahead to Clean Line Grain Belt for their transmission line across north Missouri. That’s disappointing to those of us who care about the interests of property owners.

We’ll be working this session to protect the landowners who’ll lose property if the line is built. If we and the legislators do our job right, we’ll also protect Missouri landowners from future projects that don’t take into account the interests of landowners.

One of the bright spots in the ag economy in the past few years has been agritourism. As farmers open their farms to the public, we’re finding that they need support from both local and state government. Most of the states surrounding Missouri have highway signage letting travelers know where farm attractions are located. We’d like to see Missouri do the same.

We’ll be working to expand the use of biodiesel in Missouri.

Makes sense for Missouri agriculture, and is good for the environment as well.

The EPA has increased requirements for pesticide applicator licenses. We’ll need funding and legislation to comply with the new rules from Washington.

It’s time we capped the amount that productivity values for Missouri farmland can be increased in any one year. Present law would allow huge annual increases in the property tax that Missouri landowners pay.

We’ve had some good success on both the national and state level on improving rural broadband, but more can be done. Delegates at our annual meeting adopted several policies to improve and protect rural health care. This is an issue with broad support, and we’ll work together with other groups to stop the decline in access to health care seen by much of rural Missouri.

Initiative petitions are the final resort for Missouri citizens when the legislature refuses to act, and the right to petition our government in this manner is one Missouri Farm Bureau will always protect. But, changes in technology and funding have led to a ridiculous number of special interest ballot initiatives. Balance must be restored, and we’ll be working towards that goal.

Editor’s note: Blake Hurst is a farmer from Westboro, MO, and president of Missouri Farm Bureau.

3 vehicles wreck; 2 waiting for bus to load children At about 6:50 a.m. on Jan. 8, in DeKalb County, two people were injured in an accident while waiting for a school bus to load.

According to the highway patrol, the crash occurred as Donald Jennings, 53, Bethany, and Jason Estes, 45, Winston, were stopped on southbound Hwy 69, about three miles north of Cameron.

Christopher Nelson, 60, Jameson, was driving a 2006 Ford F-150 southbound. He failed to observe the vehicles and collided with the rear of Jennings’ vehicle. Jennings’ 2005 Buick Lacrosse was pushed off the west side of the roadway and came to rest on its wheels in the ditch, facing north. Nelson then collided with the rear of Estes’ vehicle. Estes’ 2018 Ford F-150 and Nelson’s pickup came to rest on their wheels on southbound Hwy. 69, facing south.

Nelson and a passenger in his vehicle, Dylan Nelson, 22, Jameson, were both transported by Cameron Ambulance to Cameron Regional Medical Center with moderate injuries.

RECORD

January 15, 2020

20-year sentences pronounced for Lathrop man Miguel Angel Torres of Lathrop was sentenced Jan. 7 in Livingston County on four felony charges, three counts of possession of weapon at correctional facility, and one count of damage to jail property.

Torres received 20-year sentences on each of the first three counts and a five-year sentence on the last one; sentences to run concurrently to each other and consecutively to any other sentences being served. A Livingston County jury deliberated just over an hour before finding Torres guilty of these charges in an October trial prosecuted by Daviess County Prosecutor Annie Gibson. The case was a change of venue from Daviess County.

While Torres was an inmate at the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail, between Aug. 3 and Sept. 24, 2019, he had a sharpened metal blade and two knives fabricated from food trays and fabricated cordage into a garrote and demonstrated to other inmates how to strangle an intended victim.

Reid Otto Scott, Hamilton, pled guilty to amended charges of trespass first degree and littering, both misdemeanors, in a change of venue case heard by Judge Brent Elliott in Clinton County on Jan. 6. The case had been set for jury trial on Jan. 8.

SEASON PASS

by Dennis Cox

Coming Next Week ... insights from sportswriter Dennis Cox on the Hamilton Tournament

This isn’t your ordinary high school bracket!

Bulldogs cruise to LIT victory over rival Gallatin’s #2 seeded boys had no trouble Monday with one-time GRC rival Hamilton, winning their opening game of the Lawson Tournament by a comfortable 81-64 margin.

Tristen Gibson opened scoring for Gallatin with 8 straight points to stake his team to an early, 10-3, lead. The Bulldogs went on to lead by as many as 22 points and as few as 14 in the third period by averaging 20 points per quarter through the first 3 periods.

Gibson finished with 17 points, followed by Isaac Bird with 15 and Payton Feiden with 10.

Gallatin will face #3 West Platte Thursday at 8:15 p.m. for the right to play in their second tournament title game of the season. West Platte defeated Trenton, 75-33, to advance to Thursday’s semifinal contest. The boys’ final will be contested at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Saturday’s third place game will be at 4 p.m.

Top-seeded Hamilton dumps Gallatin girls in Lawson opener

Madalyn Shubert looks for a shot in the lane.

Carli Beck fights for a rebound against Hamilton’s Julia Kanoy and Graycen Prothero.

In most cases, #1 seeds versus #8 seeds don’t turn out well for the underdog in tournament openers. Such was the case Monday night at the Lawson Invitational Tournament.

Top-seeded Hamilton jumped out strong and never looked back as the Lady Hornets took down Gallatin, 47-11, in the first game of the tournament.

The Lady Hornets sprinted to an 11-0 lead in the first quarter, the Lady Bulldogs scored 5 straight in a 2 minute stretch mid quarter, but that would turn out to be nearly half of their game-ending production.

The Lady Hornets took twice as many shots as their opponents (52-26) and forced 31 GHS turnovers. The Lady Bulldogs came out on top in rebounds, 23 to 21, with Madalyn Shubert pulling down a team high 5.

Shubert and Carli Beck each totaled 4 points for Gallatin. Libby Endicott scored a bucket and Claire Hemry added a free throw.

Gallatin will take on #5 Richmond at 4:30 today (Wednesday) in the consolation bracket. The winner will play Friday at 5 p.m. for the consolation title. Lawson defeated Richmond, 58-29, on Monday.

Missouri’s offense takes off against Florida; Alabama coming up

By Benjamin Herrold Sometimes, even when you know college basketball is a wild and unpredictable sport, it can still surprise you. That was the case Saturday night, when Missouri’s otherwise languishing offense exploded for 91 points in a 91-75 home win over Florida.

The Tigers (9-6, 1-2 in SEC play through Sunday) had not been a particularly good three-point shooting team, but they were white hot from downtown, making 12 of 19 three-pointers, a 63.2% rate. Missouri was particularly on fire in the first half, making 73% percent of their threes to surge to a 51-36 halftime lead. Seven different Tigers made a three-pointer in the game.

After scoring 59 points in each of their first two SEC games, the Tigers had 51 in the first half and 91 for the game.

Missouri thwarted every comeback attempt by Florida (10-5, 2-1 in SEC), usually with bursts of scoring and timely defensive stops, running out to a 20-point lead as

they coasted to a win in a game that was expected to be a close game.

Tiger coach Cuonzo Martin talked during the week about helping jump start the offense by trying to run more and score points in transition. When you have a struggling offense, it’s especially important to get all the quick points possible before defenses can get set up and dig in. Missouri raced up and down the floor Saturday night, perhaps drawing energy from the small but lively crowd that was voicing its appreciation for the effort on a snowy night in Columbia. The crowd erupted when point guard Xavier Pinson threw down a dunk in traffic on one of those many fast breaks.

Dru Smith led the Tigers with 22 points, and Mark Smith and Javon Pickett each scored 14. With starting big man Jeremiah Tilmon out with a foot injury, Reed Nikko, the big man from Minnesota, filled in with 7 points and 5 rebounds while helping protect the rim inside.

Now Missouri goes on the road, with the Tigers trav-

eling to Tuscaloosa on Saturday to face Alabama (2:30 p.m. on SEC Network). Road games are usually tough, and Alabama will provide a good test for Missouri as the Tigers try to build off Saturday’s win.

The Crimson Tide (8-7, 1-2 in SEC) battled hard at Kentucky on Saturday before losing 76-67. Nate Oats, who had a successful run coaching Buffalo, is in his first year as head coach at Alabama.

The game could be an interesting clash of styles, or a test of Missouri’s newfound emphasis on scoring in transition. Alabama plays by far the most up-tempo pace in the SEC, preferring to get up and down the court and play quick possessions rather than grinding it out.

Missouri is one of the slower tempo teams in the SEC, although they might be looking to play at a little quicker pace.

Whatever pace the game is played, this will be close to a tossup game, and a nice opportunity for Missouri to notch a decent road win.

Gallatin council reviews CD rates; no major issues with ice and snow

The Gallatin Board of Aldermen reviewed the CD rates from Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri and BTC Bank during their meeting held Jan. 13.

Discussion was held on the options for the $700,000 water/ sewer CDs that were cashed out in December.

Alderman Steve Evans moved to approve $350,000 in a 12-month CD, $250,000 in a sixmonth CD, and to keep 100,000 available for engineering costs for the sewer plant. The motion died for a lack of a second.

Further discussion was held regarding CD rates and options.

The board decided to collect 36-month CD rates for Farmers and BTC Banks to determine the higher interest rate with the amount of the CD; and find out the cost of any administrative fees associated with multiple CDs. The board also agreed to cash out the Sales Tax CD that matures on Jan. 27, for the amount VE, INC.of $65,199.06 and purchase a 36-month CD at the highest interest rate between Farmers and BTC Bank.

Regional jail approves 2020 break-even budget The Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Board approved the 2020 budget during their meeting held Dec. 20. The jail, located at Pattonsburg, should make about $790 next year.

This down-to-the-wire budgeting has been the same for the past several years: $730 proposed in 2019 and $14,000 in 2018.

As in year’s past, the jail would lose money in 2020 if left to its own devices.

It is important to remember that the jail has two sources of income.

One source is the money it makes off the business of housing inmates in the jail proper.

Inmates pay a daily housing rate of $45.

Inmates also buy items from the commissary. The canteen, where inmates may purchase products such as hygiene items, snacks, writing instruments, etc., is budgeted to earn $120,000; e-cigarettes $42,000; turnkey phone $95,000. Encartele, a technology company providing inmate telecommunication, video visitation, content broadcasting and jail technology software, is

Area students on NCMC honors North Central Missouri College has named students with outstanding academic achievements to the Academic Honors Lists for the 2019 fall semester.

President: Sarah Anderson, Coffey; Bethany Bailey, Ashley Beck, Colin Beck, Kelsey Maxwell, and Mycah Pulliam, all of Gallatin; Dustin Cannon, Gilman City; Kenzy Horton, Chassity Smith, and Lilly Simons, all of Jamesport; Josie McFee of Winston.

Dean: Cheyenne Martin, Altamont, Nina Chadwick, and Mackenzi Widner, both of Gallatin; Lance Cook, Tanna Courter, Gage Sperry and Macey Ward, all of Jamesport; and Maggie Farrell of Winston.

Students named to the President’s List have earned at least six credit hours and achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average (GPA), and students on the Dean’s List have earned at least six credit hours and achieved a grade point average of at least 3.50.

budgeted at $37,000.

The second source of funding for the jail is the money it makes off the county taxpayers through the sales tax.

The jail is expected to make about $2 million off the commissary and inmate housing.

Its expenses are expected to be about $3 million. The jail would be about $1 million in the hole. It is saved by the sales tax revenue, which is expected to generate about $1 million.

Revenue The jail houses prisoners from the City of Chillicothe; Caldwell, Gentry, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam, Ray, and Sullivan counties.

Livingston County is the biggest spender at $500,000.

As hosts of the jail, Daviess and DeKalb do not pay to house their inmates; however, detainees are required to pay their own board bill. Daviess and DeKalb receive ‘write-offs’ or reimbursements that take away about twothirds of their bills.

House fire remains under investigation Officials are unwilling to release much information about a house fire that occurred Saturday near Civil Bend, as long as the incident remains under investigation.

Pattonsburg Fire and Rescue told the Gallatin North Missourian via social media that they were paged out to a structure fire at 10:28 p.m. on Jan. 11. The fire was extinguished, and the scene was turned over to the state fire marshal for investigation.

The Daviess County Sheriff’s report also notes a house fire on DD Highway on Jan. 11.

David and Mary Mott were taken to a hospital after the fire at their home, according to one of Mary’s cousins. Mary Mott passed away and funeral arrangements will be pending at Roberson Funeral Home, after the funeral home meets with the family the morning of Jan. 15.

No further information has been released to this newspaper by the fire department, the sheriff’s office, or the fire marshal as of press time.

Ice storm passed, more on the way The ice storm over the weekend was a thing of beauty and disaster. Danielle Huston took the picture of a tree near her farm northeast of Gallatin. The tree lost limbs due to the weight of ice. Terry Jarboe took the picture of an ornamental windmill in the yard of his home on Hwy. CC. He said the blades never stopped spinning and he had to manually stop them to take the picture in dense fog. Shelly Cameron took this picture of a bell in her yard on her farm outside of Pattonsburg on Friday.

Not very many in the area lost power during the storm, according to Chasity Anderson, Communications Manager at Farmer’s Electric Cooperative. Across nine county service area there were 300-350 who lost power out of 10,000 members. All were back on within a few hours.

A low number was reported Monday with 215 scattered outages because of the ice falling off the line, also repaired quickly.

School districts dismissed school early Jan. 10, as state transportation officials noted roads in northwest Missouri

Expenses Major expenses for the jail are Administration and office at $64,000; Automobile $50,000; liability insurance $119,000; commissary goods $124,000; employee insurance $386,000; employee related expenses and benefits about $2 million; total inmate medical $233,000; food cost $325,000; total utilities $122,475; fixed asset purchases $87,000.

The next board meeting was set for Friday, January 31, 2020, at 10 a.m.

Present at the Dec. 20 budget meeting were Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Kyle Carroll; Daviess County Presiding Commissioner James Ruse; DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark; Edmon Howard, Jr., Director; Timothy Carder, Deputy Director; Lori Burke, Administrative Assistant.

Forecasters are monitoring what they say will be the next multifaceted storm to target the central United States.

McFall man crashes and burns stolen car, receives 13 charges after fleeing William Perkins, 49, McFall received minor injuries in an accident that happened at about 10:18 p.m. on Jan. 8, in Daviess County. After his stolen car crashed and burned, he tried to flee, but was arrested.

According to the highway patrol, Perkins was southbound on Hwy. 13 and attempted to turn right onto Kodiak Road, about one mile north of Jameson. He lost control and his vehicle went off the west side of the roadway, struck a fence, and caught fire before coming to rest, facing north.

Perkins was taken by Daviess County EMS to Harrison County Community Hospital in Bethany.

It’s not known if he was wearing a seat belt.

The accident was investigated by Tpr. J.P. Lynch.

At 10:21 p.m. on Jan. 8, Perkins was arrested in Harrison County by the patrol and charged with 13 counts, including five felonies — tampering with a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, re-

sisting arrest by fleeing, resisting arrest, driving while revoked or suspended; and the following misdemeanors — unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, exceeding posted speed limit by 26 miles per hour or more, failure to drive on right half of roadway, displaying motor vehicle plates of another person, failure to display valid plates, and failure to signal.

The above charges are mere accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Make Your Weight Loss Goals a Reality Losing weight is a highly personal journey as a wide range of factors can affect a person’s ability to do so.

There’s no one approach to weight loss; rather, the best approach is the one that fits your life and body best.

Get motivated to reach your weight loss goals with these expert tips.

Set realistic goals. Most experts agree you shouldn’t lose more than 1-2 pounds per week. More rapid loss may shock your system, and chances are you’re depriving your body of important nutrients.

More aggressive loss is also less likely to be permanent or sustainable; long-term results generally come with steady loss over a period of time.

Eat well. Regardless what eating plan you choose, recognize the importance of nutrition in your weight loss program. Weight loss occurs when you burn more calories than you consume, so build your menu around nutrientrich foods that fill you up.

Strive for a well-balanced diet that encompasses all the food groups and, if necessary, discuss your goals with a doctor or nutritionist who can help you identify the best foods to enjoy and those to avoid.

Consider a supplement. If managing cravings or your appetite hinders your weight loss, a supplement may be a good solution. For example, RiduZone is a patented supplement that gives your body more of a substance it already creates called Oleoylethanol-

amide (OEA). In essence, OEA tells your brain you are full and it’s time to stop eating. Developed and endorsed by Dr. Jay Yepuri, a board-certified gastroenterologist, the supplement is a non-stimulant that may help you feel full faster to reduce caloric intake and boost metabolism to burn stored fat.

ever, getting active isn’t just about playing the numbers game. Physical activity also promotes overall wellness with numerous physical and mental health benefits, including improving circulation and stimulating feel-good endorphins.

Stay committed. It’s easy to fall off your weight loss plan when unexpected circumstances arise. Give yourself a little grace and permission for occasional misses so you stay motivated to get back to your program. That may mean wait-

Get active. Creating a calorie deficit is necessary to lose weight, and increasing your physical activity helps ensure you’re burning calories. How-

ing for a cold to pass and doing less strenuous workouts at home or making extra healthy choices at mealtime in advance of an indulgent event. To help make keeping your commitments easier, consider an option like RiduZone to boost your body’s natural appetitecurbing power.

232nd Street in Washington Township

To close or not to close ... tough decision on tap

A hearing on the closing of 232nd Street in Washington Township, Section 20, was held from 9 to 9:20 a.m. by the Daviess County Commission on Jan. 8. The hearing was held in the county commission room at the Daviess County Courthouse.

Jim Ruse, presiding commissioner, read the hearing procedures. He then read both the petition to close the road with 12 valid signatures, and the remonstrance against closing the road with 27 valid signatures, for the third time. The following comments are a summarization of what was said.

Randy Eads, Washington Township Board, stated that he was the person who got the petition to close the road started.

He believed the road should be closed because there were no utilities on it, water stands on it 50-60% of the time, and buses can’t use the road most of the time. He stated that the public uses it when it is not passable, get stuck, and then wants the township to pay their tow bills.

Randy stated that the township had asked the county to open the existing levy on a nearby landowner. The county hasn’t done that, so this is the last resort for the township.

Walter Burnett, Grand River Township resident, said the problem is that a dam has been built on the west side of the road, which is possibly against the law, because you can’t put water on someone else’s property.

He also said water shouldn’t be forced back onto the road.

Nancy Poole, Washington Township Board, stated the road is unreliable and can’t be depended on for regular transportation. The township has tried to keep the road open and passable, but has not been able to. Nancy also said that the road

is not used by the school.

John Hightree, Jameson Post Office, stated that they travel this road as a mail route twice daily, six days of the week, and don’t have trouble regardless of weather.

Daniel Street, North Daviess Superintendent, stated that Jan. 7, the school will be using the road as a bus route daily; this is a new situation. Since the school will be using this route, the school requests the road remain open. Mr. Street stated the school tries not to deadhead, and tries to pick up on the right side of the bus.

Joyce Eads, Washington Township resident, stated that the road was great back when you could use it, but has not been decent since the dam was installed. If the township and the county can’t keep it open, they need to find an alternative, she said.

Doug Reed, Washington Township Board, said that one of the things he felt should be done was opening up two ditches, and that the county should do it.

Charles Prentice, Washington Township resident, stated that ditches should be done, and that water stands all the time after a rain. He also thought the ditches could be done without spending a lot of money. This would allow the road to remain open.

Carl McDaniel, Washington Township landowner, stated he was the one who presented the remonstrance to closing the road. He has lived since 1944 on simple county roads in the area.

He stated the road is usable, and he uses it most every day to either walk or drive. He also stated that it is true that the road does flood, and has for a long time.

When the water floods, it flows on both the north and south side

of the bridge. He stated the road is ditched on the west side but doesn’t drain well because the road is really flat. Mr. McDaniel stated he had been sued three times over this road. The last lawsuit ended with the Special Prosecutor from Harrison County ruling that she would not file charges against Mr. McDaniel, and stating that a ditch needed to be installed on the east side of the road. Carl stated that Randy Eads crowds the road by farming up to the edge. Mr. McDaniel also stated that 30 residents signed the remonstrance. He said all that were asked signed, except one. His opinion is the road needs to stay open.

David Nalle, Washington Township farmer, stated that he farms ground in this area and can’t get his trucks in most of the time. He has to go around out of his way. He is in favor of leaving the road open and repairing it. If the road is closed, he will not be able to access his property.

Betty Harmison, Washington Township resident, stated that if the mail route and the school route use this road, she doesn’t see any reason to close it. Betty said that an attempt to close a road near her home was made many years ago and was not closed. That road didn’t have nearly as much use as this one.

Garry Harmison, Washington Township resident, stated he believed the road should be open if it is kept up and workable.

He stated he attended to support Carl McDaniel.

Commissioner Ruse thanked those who attended the hearing and stated the commission appreciated their comments. The commission will take everything into consideration and will rule at a later time. The hearing adjourned at 9:20 am.
