Man on the loose! Local authorities seek suspect who fled from accident The Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department reported that around noon on March 8, officers were dispatched to a vehicle crash on I-35 where a suspect fled the scene of the accident. The sheriff ’s department warns people in the area to be on the lookout for this man. The suspect is a white male identified as Bradley DeWayne Taylor, 28, from either the Liberty or Chillicothe areas. Taylor is 5-10 and weighs roughly 140 pounds. He was was last seen wearing a dark shirt and jeans. There is a warrant out for Tay-

lor’s arrest. Taylor was driving a blue Audi on I-35 when he travelled off the northbound lanes, through the median, and into the southbound lanes. He sideswiped a red 2018 Freightliner tractor trailer unit, and came to a stop in the median. Both vehicles received extensive damage. A witness stopped to help Taylor out of the vehicle when Taylor reportedly snatched a pair of shoes and ran into the wooded area west of the interstate. Taylor was out on bond for a possession charge from Clay

County and ﬂed to avoid apprehension. A manhunt ensued, but the suspect has yet to be located. Taylor has a length criminal history including prior convictions for stealing out of Calloway County and drug charges from Livingston County. The sheriff ’s department asks all residents in the Pattonsburg and Civil Bend areas to lock their vehicles, secure their homes and outbuildings, and report any suspicious activity. The Daviess County Sheriff asks the public to call the ofﬁce at 660-663-2031 or 911 if Taylor is spotted.

Sherri Carder

to say farewell and it’s time for a new journey with family and friends!” Sherri began her career at the Daviess County Health Department in September 1981, as a WIC (Woman, Infant and Children) clerk in a small room in the courthouse with Mary Wheeler, R.N. and administrator at DCHD, who saw the need for Public Health and made it happen for Daviess County by working hard to get the vote passed that established a health department. Dolores Gatton taught Sherri the many hats she would wear in the small ofﬁce. As the WIC program grew Sherri became the

coordinator. Through the years she saw many changes in the WIC program. In the beginning, she wrote the WIC food vouchers by hand and there weren’t any computers in the ofﬁce. Now, EWIC cards are issued with a card reader and several computers. DCHD used to host satellite clinics in Pattonsburg and Jamesport. For four years Sherri served as WIC Coordinator for both Daviess and Caldwell Counties, traveling as far as Braymer for clinics. Sherri said, “We’ve had WIC clinics outside in the sunshine and had to relocate clinics during the ﬂood of ‘93. One thing that has never changed is the compassion and caring our WIC Teams have always provided for our clients.” Over the years she was fortunate to represent District 2 at the National WIC Conference in Washington D.C. She was a member of the 1st Missouri State W.A.M.I Board for WIC, served on the state’s 25th WIC anniversary planning committee, and on WIC conference panels. Those experiences gave her the opportunity to meet people with the same desire, to improve WIC and make it a better program for pregnant, postpartum

3 jail officers earn Life Saving Awards, honors Three officers of the Daviess/ DeKalb County Regional Jail were presented Life Saving Awards and Certificates at the DDCRJ board meeting on Feb. 26. The officers are Lt. James Thurston, Capt. Penny James Thurston Stone, and Officer Scott Dawe. Director Edmon Howard and Deputy Director Timothy Carder presented the awards to the three officers for their swift reactions when a detainee tried to commit suicide. The board approved the minutes of the Jan. 29 meeting, as well as bills and payments. Deputy Director Carder gave the financial report, which was accepted unanimously by the board. The report review was as follows: Sales tax revenue for January Penny Stone 2021 was $95,635.86; commissary for February was $15,064.82; sales tax account balance is $23,168.73; operating account balance is $53,973.11; accounts receivable is $1,015,826.76; accounts payable is $ -491.33; payroll account balance is $1,037.05. The audited payroll from a provided financial statement estimated from Dec. 31, 2019 to Dec. 30, 2020, totaled at $1,182,412 for 88 employees. A list of unpaid balances was presented to be written off as uncollectable. A motion was made and passed Scott Dawes to write the debt off as recommended by the auditor. The courthouse security discussion was tabled to the next meeting to allow Commissioner Carroll time to review documents. Director Howard addressed the need for a new commissary account at BTC Bank, as the commissary vendors have been changed from TurnKey Corrections to Stellar Services. Sheriff Larry Adams motioned to open the account. The motion passed unanimously. Carder spoke to the board about the Jail Administrators Conference coming up in May. He stated that he felt he needed to attend to learn about the changes in aspects of jail management, even though this would make both the director and deputy director absent at the same time. The board approved a motion to allow both supervisors to attend. The meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m. with the next meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. on March 26. This information was taken from the minutes of the Daviess/ DeKalb County Regional Jail board meeting held on Feb. 26. All board members were present. Administrative Assistant Lori Burke was absent.

Lake Viking presents positive outlook, lower member dues The membership of Viking Valley Association met virtually on March 7 for the annual meeting of members to conduct the annual board election, approve the budget and assessments, and to consider bylaw changes and other annual business. Approximately 80 attended by Zoom. Dues and assessments were proposed at a lower rate this year, as the one-time dredge assessment from 2020 will be discontinued. In 2021, Lake Viking will continue the challenges of a major upgrade with an engineered dredge silt basin. Troy Lesan, who has served on the board since 2015, was reelected to the board. Also join-

ing the board as a new member is Allan Slavin, who has been a lot owner at the lake since 1993. Board members serve threeyear terms. The membership approved the 2021 budget and 5-year ﬁnancial plan. Roger Lankford won the Neville Burns Safety Award for his years of volunteer service, most recently being chair of the infraction committee. Outgoing Board President Susan Zalenski won the Loa Parkhurst Volunteer of the Year award. Susan helped pilot the lake through a very successful year despite additional challenges brought by COVID.

This year’s annual meeting was on Zoom rather than crowding the usual 100+ people into the clubhouse. Voting, which still had to be done in person, then took place at the clubhouse during a 2-hour window after the meeting. Voting was scheduled at different times according to alphabetical order of last name. There were 104 members who voted. Members were able to vote without attending the virtual meeting if they wished and could do so at the clubhouse by showing their membership card. There was also drive-in voting option expedited by the volunteer ﬁre department in the parking lot. The meeting was then

Who’s the boss? by Ken Paulson

When government fails, it’s the rare public official who says, “Oops. My fault.” Case in point is the recent catastrophe in Texas, when unexpected winter storms left 4 million homes without power, ruptured pipes and tainted the water supply for many. Texas’ energy grid essentially collapsed. While Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was quick to blame frozen wind turbines, the cause was much more complex than that. To truly understand how things went so terribly wrong will require time, study and research. How do you get to the truth when public officials so rarely step up to take direct responsibility for failures? The answer is public records. And public meetings. And access to the information that taxpayers deserve. States throughout the country have laws that guarantee access to government records and meetings. But the details vary widely and there are many statutory exceptions. New challenges to access emerge every year in virtually every state. The need to fight for government transparency is reaffirmed each year during Sunshine Week (March 14-20, 2021), a national awareness event overseen by the News Leaders Association and keyed to the March 16 birthday of James Madison. The fourth president of the United States drafted the Bill of Rights – including the guarantee of a free press – in 1791. That journalism connection reflects the role news media play in the free flow of information, but it unfortunately can also leave the public with a sense that Sunshine Week reflects the concerns of a single industry. To the contrary, access to government information is critical to every American who cares about the quality of his or her community, state and nation. It’s critical that we hold government accountable, for better or worse. (It’s also important to acknowledge when government leaders are doing a good job.) How can you help? I have two suggestions. First, keep doing exactly what you’re doing at this moment. Read and support your local newspaper. Local journalists, more than anyone else, will stand up for your right to information. Facebook will not be going “toe-to-toe” with credibility. Secondly, when you believe government isn’t doing its job, demand an explanation. Ask to see the documents. Attend public meetings. And above all, support legislative efforts to make government more transparent. It’s too easy for officials who have failed us to point fingers, blame the media and wait for their side of the partisan fence to rally to their defense. We deserve better. We all pay taxes to support the work of government. We should get our money’s worth.

An unemployment ﬁx

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Editor’s note: Ken Paulson, is the director of the Free Speech Center at Middle Tennessee State University and former editor-in-chief of USA Today.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the mess created when the federal government nearly tripled unemployment payments during the Covid outbreak, and the Missouri Department incorrectly gave out those additional beneﬁts to people who did not qualify for them. The House’s Government Oversight Committee, which I vice-chair, investigated the matter. It determined 46,000 people received about $150 million in overpayments, but did not notify the recipients of the overpayments for months, by which time

that money had been spent. To try to strong-arm recipients into repayment of money they no longer had, the department sent out letters threatening liens on their homes and garnishments of their paychecks. So, our committee decided to help these recipients. With bipartisan committee support, I ﬁled HB1083 to allow recipients to keep the federal portion of the overpayments. Under the bill, recipients will only need to repay the state portion, and can do that in affordable installment payments. The federal portion makes up most of

This morning (8 March) it was reported on KTTN Radio that 12% of Daviess County residents have had at least one Covid shot. (We call it a shot because it is not a vaccine in the traditional sense of conferring immunity and has not yet been approved by the FDA.) The overall Missouri average is 16%, and Grundy County is 15%. As with masks, we are blessed to be able to do our own research and decide for ourselves how to handle our own health and the health of our families.

There are many doctors and epidemiologists who are warning of serious-to-catastrophic potential outcomes from this jab. One well-known opponent is Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (drtenpenny. com). For anyone interested in researching the other side of the debate, she could be a good starting point. America’s Frontline Doctors are also urging extreme caution about this shot. (americasfrontlinedoctors.com/ vaccines/) This is not a dogmatic antivaccine rant, however. The

Great Barrington Declaration (gbdeclaration.org) offers a balanced approach for those who do and those who do not believe that vaccines are the answer. It has been signed by over 41,000 medical professionals and experts, and is an inspiring document. Personally, I am glad to be part of the 88% of our county who would rather not become a lab experiment, but still we pray for those who have taken the shot that outcome will be worth the risk. Allison Ward, Jameson

Our readers write...

FDA “Emergency Use Authorization” is not the same as FDA approval of a drug, therapy, or vaccine. As with the Covid “vaccines,” animal trials were skipped in the big rush to get the product on the market, and human trials are scheduled to conclude at the end of 2022. In essence, this means that anyone taking the shot between now and then is basically becoming part of a huge, informal vaccine trial. Time will tell if this brand new, never-before approved mRNA technology is safe or not.

Coffee Shop Talk at the County’s FSA Office...

We ofﬁcially endured an 88 degree swing in less than three weeks when we saw (-)18 degrees on Feb. 14 and 70 degrees on March 5 -- good ol’ Missouri weather for you! Through all the snow we totaled 0.3 inches of melted precipitation in February compared to a normal 1.98 inches.

Meet a New FSA Member Upon the transition of PT Glynis Dotson taking a new position within RMA, Shayna Dennert was hired as a fulltime, permanent PT to serve in Daviess County. Stop by and meet the her at your next opportunity! In the meantime, below are a few words from Shayna: “Hello! My name is Shayna Dennert and I am a new Program Technician with Daviess County FSA. I grew up in Gilman City, and now live on a farm in Jamesport with my husband, Daniel and our two daughters. We have a row crop operation and a small herd of beef cattle. I understand the importance of agriculture and I am proud to serve the rural community. I am so excited to join the Gallatin FSA team and I look forward to meeting all our producers in the upcoming future.” CRP Maintenance and Management We are coming up on CRP management timeframes for the burning or spraying of cool season grasses. Almost all current CRP contracts are required to have Contract Management completed in years 3-6 of the contract. If required management is not completed timely, penalties will apply and possible contract termination. If you are unsure if you have completed your Mid Contract Management or have questions on which practice would be best for yours, please contact the ofﬁce. The three options for Mid Contract Management are

the overpayments, and the feds are not asking for that money back. So, it is silly for Missouri government to use taxpayer funded resources to recapture money from Missourians only to give it back to Washington DC. On March 4, HB1083 passed the House 157-3. Not only that, the Department of Labor has now agreed to “call off the dogs” so to speak, and to pause hassling people to return the federal money until the bill becomes law. The public pressure occurring because the Government Oversight Committee shined a light on the errors made by big government bureaucracy has now pushed the department to do the right thing and offer relief to citizens that we in the legislature represent. The Government Oversight Committee will continue to diligently monitor the actions of the various departments on this and other issues to make sure you are treated fairly by your government. HB1083 now moves on to the Senate for consideration there. I am grateful to the chairman of the committee on my colleagues on the committee for allowing me to be the voice of this bill bringing relief to our affected citizens.

DAVIESS S COUNTY On Fi lm

From the archives of the North Missourian, compiled by Darryl Wilkinson — darryl@GPCink.com

Happy (50th ...or 36th ...or?) birthday:

Interstate 35

I-35 as it crosses the Grand River bottoms near Pattonsburg (when under construction, below)

The 50th anniversary of the completion of Interstate 35 depends on which segment of the interstate you focus upon. In many respects and for this account, the completion date of 1971 is suggested. As with most interstates that end in a ﬁve, it is a major crosscountry north-south route; I-35 bisects Daviess County, MO. It is the 9th-longest interstate highway in the United States, the 3rd-longest north-south highway in the nation. ► Length: 1,569 miles ► Oﬃcial Beginning: 1956 ► Completion: 1971

Even though the route is generally considered to be a borderto-border highway from Mexico to Canada, this highway does not directly connect to either international border. I-35’s southern terminus is a trafﬁc signal in Laredo, TX, just short of the Mexican border. Travelers going south can take one of two toll bridges across the Rio Grande and the border, either straight ahead into the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge, or via I-35 Business through downtown Laredo into the Gateway to the Americas International Bridge. To the north, I-35 terminates in Duluth, Minnesota, with connections to Canada from the Interstate’s terminus via MN 61 to Grand Portage, or north to the border at International Falls, Minnesota via U.S. Route 53 in Duluth. Although the ofﬁcial start of I-35 coincides with the authorization of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, portions of I-35 predate that start. For instance, I-35 through Oklahoma largely parallels U.S. Route 77. Some portions of I-35 in Oklahoma City were already built in 1953, before the Interstate system was created.

In Daviess County, MO, the final segment of I-35 was completed in the Grand River bottoms near Pattonsburg. For several years the detour around the final construction pushed traffic onto US-69. Heavy truck traffic on the 2-lane route caused enough accidents to make travel seem perilous, prompting the detour to be tagged with the misnomer “Ho Chi Minh Trail” after the dangerous supply route infamous during the Vietnam War. Completion of I-35 in Daviess County was delayed until 1985 as the last gasp of a proposed Pattonsburg dam on the Grand River expired, despite plans of the Mormon Church to construct a mid-lake visitor center on I-35 if the dam project was approved. Many local governments and municipalities lobbied fed-

eral authorities to adjust initial construction plans so that this major artery of commerce and travel would be of local beneﬁt. Gallatin was no exception but, like most yet not all others, such efforts were patiently considered by highway authorities and eventally rejected. Construction of interstate highways were authorized during the Eisenhower Administration, primarily as a means to evacuate cities if the United States were attacked by an atomic bomb -- not for local Chamber of Commerce purposes. Another “ﬁnal segment” of I-35 (as originally planned) opened in north central Iowa between Mason City and US-20 near Iowa Falls. This segment was delayed due to some con-

troversy. Originally, I-35 was to follow the alignment of US 69 from Des Moines to the Minnesota border, but Mason City’s business community lobbied for the route to be moved closer to their city. On Sept. 1, 1965, the alignment was changed to instead parallel US-65 through northern Iowa, which brought the highway much closer to Mason City. This created a long diagonal section through Wright and Franklin counties. Local farmers objected to their farms being bisected into triangular pieces, and resulting litigation delayed I-35 for several years. A November 1972 ruling rejected a lawsuit ﬁled by the farmers, and this ﬁnal segment of I-35 was allowed to proceed, eventually opening in 1975.

By any other name... TEXAS NAMES FOR I-35: ● Pan Am Expressway in San Antonio

● Interregional Highway in Austin ● Jack Kultgen Freeway in Waco ● R.L. Thornton Freeway (south of I-30) or the Stemmons Freeway in Dallas KANSAS NAMES FOR I-35: ● Kansas Turnpike between the Oklahoma state line and Emporia ● “BETO Junction,” at the intersection US-75 in Coﬀey County (name from the four major cities nearest the intersection: Burlington, Emporia, Topeka, Ottawa) IOWA NAMES FOR I-35: ● Avenue of the Saints between Clear Lake, IA, and St. Paul, MN MINNESOTA NAMES FOR I-35: ● Red Bull Highway for all of I-35 in Minnesota, after the 34th Infantry (Red Bull) Division ● “Can of Worms” interchange of I535/U.S. 53 in Duluth (features a pair of left exits from I-35, a stoplight, and lane drops over the I-35 bridge)

I-35 In Missouri... 114.26 miles of I-35 in Missouri. Traveling south to north, I-35 enters Missouri 3 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City as a 6-lane highway. I-35 parallels or overlaps with US-69 as it leaves Kansas City via Claycomo and Liberty. The two routes cross paths several times from Cameron north to Bethany. Additionally MO-110, the Chicago Kansas City Expressway (CKC), overlaps with I-35 from I-435 at Claycomo to US36 at Cameron (reassurance markers along this stretch omit I-35 in favor of the state highway). I-35 departs from Missouri as a 4-lane highway at the Iowa state line near Eagleville in Harrison County.

In Daviess County... 30.37 miles with six rural exits: Former State Sen.

If you’d like to ask me a question or request a particular recipe, connect with me anytime: anne@ annerauth.com

● Pepper (to taste) ● 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon in the muffin tin, wrapping around the edges in a circle. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and, this part is tricky, pour out excess grease while still keeping the bacon wrapped in the muffin cup. Crack an egg into each of the muffin cups, and then sprinkle the top with salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the egg yolks reach your desired consistency. Run a knife around the edge of each cup to loosen and remove from the muffin tin.

I officially have Spring Fever. After a year-long pandemic and a record-breaking cold spell, who doesn’t? Because the weather was so nice this past weekend, we journeyed up to Gallatin and got farm fresh eggs and fresh milk among other things. It was wonderful to be able to be out and get some sun and breathe some fresh air. Earlier this year, I shared a custard recipe, so this time I used my farm fresh eggs to make these fun Bacon Cups -- Tasty and elegant! I am saying a prayer that all the snow is done for 2021.

Phil Hoffman tapped for Higher Ed Board Phillip “Phil” Hoffman of Trenton will serve on Missouri’s Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE). He begins a six-year term on the board, beginning immediately. “I believe Phil to be a man of integrity, and I know he will do a great job serving the citizens of Missouri,” Sen. Dan Hegeman said in sponsoring the appointee. “The CBHE is a crucial group for our state. They help oversee how our children and grandchildren will be educated, so they can prepare for their lives ahead. I thank Phil for his hard work and dedication.” Mr. Hoffman attended Trenton Junior College, and then transferred to the University of Missouri School of Agriculture where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in agriculture and a Masters in agronomy. After graduation, he started

working at Hoffman Reed, Inc. Later, Hoffman managed the Hoffman Reed office in Gilman City, and later in Trenton. The CBHE was established by an amendment to the Missouri Constitution in 1972. The nine-member board oversees the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, which serves as the administrative arm of the board and is led by the commissioner. The board members, one from each of Missouri's eight congressional districts and one selected at-large, are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Missouri Senate. They serve six-year terms. Hoffman’s appointment was heard by the Missouri Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee on March 3 and was given full Missouri Senate approval the next day.

A Blue Springs businessman with previous convictions was charged with deceptive business practice in Daviess County on March 5. Robert B. Williams, 50, runs Xtreme Concrete and Outdoor Living. He was contracted by a Daviess County woman to remodel her home and build an addition back in March 2020. This case was examined by the Missouri Attorney General’s office. According to the probable cause statement by the attorney general’s office investigator Lindsey Velasquez, the victim paid Williams over $19,000 for this project, but Williams didn’t perform any work and would not give the victim a refund. Williams threatened to release private sexual images the victim had previously sent to him through text messages

if she reported him. Williams was previously prosecuted by the Missouri Attorney General and convicted in Johnson County, Platte County, Clay County, and Jackson County for defrauding consumers, including nine counts of deceptive business practices, E felony, and three counts of receiving stolen property, B felony. Williams had prior prosecutions by the Missouri Attorney General. Investigator Velasquez states Williams had four past protection orders against him from three other women. For this case, Williams is charged with deceptive business practice, E felony; threatening nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images, E felony; and tampering or attempting to tamper with a victim in a felony prosecution, D felony.

Jamesport man charged with driving violations A Jamesport local fled from an officer and was charged with multiple driving violations and DWI on March 6. Trooper M. Cline tried to stop a white pickup driven by Keenan Critten, 43, for failure to use signals. Critten ignored the flashing lights and siren and sped off. Officer Cline pursued Critten through Jamesport. Critten failed to signal, failed to stop at stop signs, and failed to drive on the right side of the road. The pursuit didn’t end until Critten crashed his vehicle on

Kite Avenue. Cline reports in the probable cause statement that Critten stated he fled because he was driving drunk and didn’t want to go to prison. Critten began a sobriety test and said he could not perform the examination because he was too drunk. A requested preliminary breath test revealed a positive 0.209%. A background check showed that Critten had a revoked license and four previous DWI convictions. Critten was taken to Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail with no bond.

Coffey man resists arrest, charged for possession A Coffey local with an extensive criminal history and multiple felony warrants for his arrest was charged for possession of controlled substance, drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest on March 3. Deputy Loreanna Parker reported in the probable cause statement that Christopher McLaughlin, 30, refused to open his doors to officers the previous evening when they responded to a domestic dispute at his address. When officers received a report of McLaughlin acting suspiciously and were informed of his active felony warrants, they responded to the residence again. McLaughlin again refused to answer the door, though

Deputy Parker reports that they could hear him moving around from within the mobile home. After several verbal attempts to announce their presence and get McLaughlin to exit the residence, deputies opened the door to observe McLaughlin standing before them with a dark object in hand. Officers ordered him out of the house and told him to get on the ground. He resisted, which led to the officers assisting him to the ground before taking him into custody. He later stated to the deputies that he knew they were outside and that he was gathering bond money for his warrant before they came in. The responding officers then performed a protective

sweep when they spotted multiple glass smoking pipes with a white residue resembling methamphetamine in the living room. A warrant was obtained, during which time they discovered a bottle of 200-300 Tramadol pills with no prescription/medication label. McLaughlin has an extensive criminal history including multiple assaults, resisting arrests, burglary, driving while revoked/ suspended, possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia, tampering with a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, and stealing. McLaughlin was taken to Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail with no bond.

79% of Missourians love term limits, new poll says According to a new poll conducted by Scott Rasmussen, term limits remain incredibly popular in Missouri, with voters wanting to see the state legislature advance and defend limits at all levels of government. The poll, which was conducted statewide from January 6-9, showed that 79% of Missouri voters support an amendment to the state constitution that would create 8-year term limits for statewide officials who don’t currently have them, including the attorney general and secretary of state. The support level is bipartisan, with 84 percent of Republicans, 81 percent of Democrats

and 72 percent of independents voters agreeing statewide officials need term limits A similar amendment fell short of passage in 2020, but many pundits have noted that the ballot language did not accurately describe the measure as “term limits,” which likely accounted for a significant drop-off in support. Respondents were also asked about the 2018 resolution the Missouri State Legislature passed, which called for an amendment-proposing convention to term limit Congress. Overall, 80 percent of voters support this resolution, including 88 percent of Republicans,

79 percent of Democrats and 72 percent of independents. Finally, the poll asked voters to rate their preference on the proper length of term limits for Missouri state lawmakers. Periodically, some state legislators have suggested revising the current 8-year limit, allowing themselves to keep power longer. The poll showed that voters resoundingly oppose such a change. By a margin of 75% to 16%, voters prefer an 8-year limit for state lawmakers over a 12-year limit. The survey was conducted January 6-9, 2021 by RMG Research, Inc. with a margin of Sampling Error, +/- 4.5 percentage points.

Broadband outage

Windstream customers in this area lost internet connectivity around 4 p.m. on March 9, and it was not restored until the early morning hours of March 10. Broadband and some local calling were impacted by the outage, as well as the Gallatin 9-1-1 call center. The service crews worked without stopping until service was restored about 12:30 a.m. this morning (Wednesday). The cause of the outage was a Windstream fiber line that was cut west of McFall by another company that was installing a fiber line. The outage affected about 1,000 customers in the surrounding area. Windstream apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates the patience of its customers.

On March 3, the court granted Nelson’s motion for a speedy trial for the charge of stealing a motor vehicle. The trial is scheduled for April 20 with a pre-trial conference on March 29. Motions also carried to record or transcribe court proceedings and for additional discovery.

Nelson allegedly convinced another man that Nelson owned a semi-tractor parked at a Braymer residence, then requested the vehicle be moved without consent from the true owner. The two counts of murder in a separate case were transferred from Caldwell County to Johnson County back in September 2020. Nelson had admitted to the disposal of the bodies but denied the murders of two Wisconsin brothers, Nick and Justin Diemel. The court accepted

We live in interesting and unpredictable times. In my country, governments at all levels are behaving erratically, imposing unprecedented and crippling restrictions on individual and corporate freedoms. At the same time, those same governments are often imposing draconian penalties designed to bring about absolute compliance. From what I see, this is true all over the world. As always, the Bible is the first and final source of wisdom, authority, instruction, encouragement, certainty, and hope. We turn our attention to Isaiah 41:1-4, where the Creator asks two questions of His creatures. The questions are similar but not identical. The correct answers are identical, and you cannot possibly get them wrong, because God answers the questions for you. Isaiah 41:1-4 lets us know exactly what our position is, "Coastlands, listen to Me in silence, And let the peoples gain new strength; Let them come forward, then let them speak; Let us come together for judgment. (NASU) God begins the passage by identifying those He is addressing. “Coastlands” (or islands) and “peoples” (nations) mean the totality of humanity. These two terms form a pair of bookends indicating the whole world. The command to “listen in silence” sets the stage for the convening of this royal court. The people are inferiors who have been summoned by a superior, in fact The Superior. Listening in silence means that terms are already set, and we will have no say in the matter. This meeting is just for informing us. Praise God, that He follows the opening declaration by telling us that we should be encouraged and that an opportunity for us to speak will be provided. Our speech will simply be as a courtesy. This meeting will not be a negotiation. We will not dictate any terms. Now it is time for the questions, which will provide certainty about the fact that there is a completely free unseen being who is behind the scenes orchestrating and directing all things, including all governments, 2 "Who has aroused one from the east Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He delivers up nations before him And subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, As the wind-driven chaff with his bow. 3 "He pursues them, passing on in safety, By a way he had not been traversing with his feet. 4 "Who has performed and accomplished it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning? 'I, the Lord, am the first, and with the last. I am He.'" (NASU) Certainly, there is useful prophecy in these verses, but for now, I am choosing to focus only on the underlying principles. Clearly, this unseen one is the King of kings and Sovereign Lord of the Universe. He can and will call human rulers who will obey His call even if they have never done anything even remotely resembling it before. The fact that this Sovereign Lord is the Creator and responsible for the existence of every generation of humans being on the earth is evidence that He can and will control human kings. You and I may think that human rulers are operating with absolute freedom and without restraint, but they are not. The Creator has retained all His rights as Creator. He has not lost any portion of His abilities. He still rules in the affairs of men. In case you or I have any doubts about who this Creator is He clearly identifies Himself in verse four. He is YHWH (Yahweh/Jehovah), the Great I Am, as contrasted against the worthless idols of the surrounding nations. He is the One, True, Living God. Listen to Him in reverence and be encouraged.

These sponsors encourage you to worship God wherever you are, whatever your circumstances:

Plans underway for 12 Courts ofBoyChristmas Coach of the Year: Plans are being made for what is believed to be the biggest High School Holiday Basketball Shoot-Out in the Midwest. The event will host high school teams from five states on the twelve basketball courts at Hy-Vee Arena (formerly known as the Kemper Arena) in Kansas City. The event will take place Dec. 18-31 with breaks around

the holidays. This schedule is dependent on availability of participating teams during their winter breaks. Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Arkansas schools have expressed interest in participating. The Twelve Courts of Christmas will not be a tournament, but will be referred to as a formal shoot-out.

Griffon golfers finish 2nd at Las Vegas Missouri Western golfers made a run at Washburn U. on Tuesday in golf action in Las Vegas. As a team, the Griffons shot a tournament best 296 on Tuesday to finish one stroke behind the Ichabods, 602 to 601, in the race for the title. Gallatin's Jett Simmons finished with a team best round of 72 on Tuesday to land in a tie for 10th place, individually. The Griffons finished with two other

golfers in the top ten of the tournament, which featured 10 competing teams. Simmons finished tied for second last Thursday in a oneday dual against Washburn in Topeka, shooting a 3-under par 68 that led the Griffons. Next up for Missouri Western is the UCO Invitational next Monday and Tuesday in Edmond, OK.

COVID-19 1 year anniversary – 1 million vaccinations for Missouri After the disastrous year of 2020 has come and gone, Missouri has crossed the milestone of one million vaccinations to hopefully make 2021 a safer, healthier year in comparison. The one-year anniversary of the first identified case of COVID-19 in Missouri has come and gone this month. Missouri has leapt through many hurtles, just as numerous other states have, to respond to COVID-19 and work towards recovery. The state has administered more than one million

vaccinations. Hospitals continue the vital deliverance of the vaccine as they persist with treating patients. This milestone would not have been possible to cross if it weren’t for the thousands of frontline caregivers ready and willing to care for Missouri residents. Many hospitals have been administering the vaccine through mass clinics. Some have coordinated with other communities, organizations, even the Missouri National Guard, to perform large

Carder retiring continued from page 1 and breastfeeding women, infants, and children across Missouri. Sherri has also enjoyed working with the immunization program, keeping children and adults up to date on their vaccines and educated about the benefits. She firmly believes in the program slogan “Bee WISE Immunize!” She says, “Public Health is a valuable resource for our community.” An example of the resources the public might not be aware of is the preparation and training of the Health Department for many years for an event such as the current pandemic. Sherri stated “At first, we thought the pandemic was H1N1 when it first started, but NO, with 2020 came something that we hadn’t seen before in our lifetime, ‘The COVID-19 Pandemic.’ I am proud to have been a part of our Health Department Team, educating, making contacts, and immunizing our community against COVID-19 the past year. The teamwork has been exceptional, as we worked long hours and weekends!” Helping people find the right resource for their needs is also important to Sherri, whether it is getting a birth certificate or finding a resource or a program to help someone get the assistance they might need. Networking with agencies, organizations, schools and individuals throughout our area is a great tool in Public Health. She says “Working at the Da-

viess County Health Department through the decades has truly been an amazing opportunity in my life. I have enjoyed being part of the Daviess County Health Department staff and having the support of the board as we promote public health in our community. Working with the people of the community, networking with other agencies and organizations has really been a great experience.” DCHD has changed locations two times since those courthouse days, and experienced many changes: adding a breastfeeding peer counselor, an environmental public health specialist, providing school nurses, and doing lab draws, just to name a few. Sherri has lived in Gallatin most of her life. She graduated from Gallatin High School. She has been married to Carl for 44 years and they have two daughters, Brandi (Lance) Moritz, and Brook (Justin) Kreatz, but her pride and joy are her grandchildren, Chloe, Piper, Carder, Owen and Parker. She can’t wait to spend more time with them. Her parents are Charlene and the late Joe Caraway. Due to gathering restrictions and in the spirit of maintaining a safe and healthy community the Health Department is unable to have a reception. A card shower in honor of Sherri’s retirement is planned. Please send cards to: Sherri Carder, Daviess County Health Department, 609A South Main, Gallatin, MO 64640.

Everyone wants to get out of the cities and experience the clean air and the safety that the country life has to offer.

vaccination events. The partnerships of health care providers and other organizations in their communities have been essential to the response to the pandemic. Hospitals have partnered with public health sources, a variety of economic divisions, educators, and government administrations to achieve the following: • Hospitals created mass testing sites throughout Missouri. • Bed capacity extended and COVID-19 units formed in some hospitals to manage risen number of patients. • Tele/Virtual health services increased capacity to better serve patients from their homes. • COVID-19 inpatient care has been provided to around 7,800 patients.

• Over 56% of vaccines in Missouri have been given by individual hospitals. • Missourians remain informed of the status, and response and recovery efforts throughout the state through regularly updated information on MHA’s website and in newsletter. • MHA contributed in the state’s “fusion cell” for COVID-19 statewide coordination alongside other state agencies. • Hospitals maintained essential services, making sure that residents stayed healthy and had access to high-quality care in a safe environment. “Although our response and recovery are ongoing, it is now possible to see a return to normal in the months ahead,” said Herb B. Kuhn, MHA President

and CEO. “Before COVID-19 reached the state, hospitals were prepared to protect and serve their communities. Although the response has lasted longer than most of us could have envisioned, our ability to continue is possible, in part, because of the strong partnership with the state of Missouri and Gov. Parson’s leadership.” This journey through the pandemic has revealed ongoing disparities in the Missouri health care system. Hospitals are working to identify and knock down these walls to better serve their patients. COVID-19 has presented opportunities for health care providers to establish new relationships and alliances to tackle constant inequities in offering health care services to Missouri residents.

Arrowhead Stadium undergoes name change The Kansas City Chiefs have struck a deal with the Government Employees Health Association (GEHA) for naming rights to the field at Arrowhead Stadium. The stadium’s full name when the upcoming season starts will be GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The announcement was made March 4. GEHA is the team’s supplier for health, dental, and vision plans. In a news release regarding this change, the Chiefs and GEHA officials stated that they plan to safeguard the identity of the stadium as Arrowhead since it has been the home of the Chiefs since 1972 and remains one of NFL’s most recognizable stadiums. This is the only time the team has sold the name of the stadium. Chiefs president Mark Donovan make a statement about further solidifying the Chiefs’ partnership with GEHA. “We are extremely proud and excited to announce our naming rights agreement with GEHA,” Donovan said. “When we set out to find a partner for the field at Arrowhead, was critical to NEWitLISTING LISTING NEW identify a national leader that shares our core values, as well

as a deep connection to the local community and respect for Chiefs Kingdom. Our relationship with GEHA over the last few years has only served to reinforce the alignment between our two organizations and prov-

en their strong, long-standing relationship with the local community. This expanded partnership will continue to build lasting health and wellness programs that support the team, GEHA and our community."

GALLATIN PUBLISHING COMPANY

Pattonsburg R-2 third grade class has followed each chapter of the “Miles and the Monarch” serial story. Even though they received their copies later than expected due to the poor weather a few weeks prior, the students were still able to enjoy the ﬁrst week’s chapter together as a class.

CHAPTER SIX “Cool Papa Bell,” Miles said. “That’s got to be the best name ever.” Miles’ dad laughed. “You’re right about that son! But ‘Cool Papa’ is just his nickname. His actual name is James Thomas Bell.” “Well,” Miles said. “Why does everyone call him Cool Papa?” The pair were getting close to Philadelphia. The long stretches of cornfield were giving way to a more urban landscape as their truck bounced along, making its way to the Kansas City Monarch’s game. “They say it’s a nickname dating back to his early days as a pitcher. He pitched left-handed and he could throw lots of different pitches—curves, knucklers, screwballs. Through it all he was always very calm on the mound, even in stressful situations. That’s why they call him ‘Cool Papa,’” Miles’ dad said. “Cool Papa Bell,” Miles repeated, enjoying the crisp sound of the name on his tongue. “Does he still pitch?” “No, son, he plays centerfield now. But Cool Papa Bell is probably the fastest player in the game—black or white,” Miles’ dad told him. “He can steal bases better than anyone else out there.” “Is he a great hitter like Josh Gibson?” “Cool Papa is a good hitter, but that’s not what he’s known for,” his dad answered. “But that doesn’t matter because he can take an extra base more often than any of the other players. In fact,” he laughed. “Satchel Paige once said that Cool Papa Bell is so fast, he can ‘flip the light switch and be in bed before the room gets dark.’” “Now that is fast!” Miles said, mentally making a note to try and do that when he got home. “Cool Papa Bell played for the St. Louis Stars when I was a boy, but right now, he plays for the Chicago American Giants.” “He sounds like an incredible player, Dad,” Miles said. “I hope I get to see him play one day.” “He is an incredible player,” Miles’ dad answered. “But even more than that he’s known as a pretty great guy off the field too. I’ve heard that Cool Papa Bell has a reputation for being honest, kind, and a real gentleman. It’s pretty neat to be great at baseball, Miles,” his dad said. “But remember, those things are important too.”

Miles nodded. PHILADELPHIA a sign read, up ahead. “We’re here!” Miles shouted excitedly, bouncing in his seat. After listening to his dad tell him all about the stars of the Negro League, he could hardly stand his excited anticipation of being able to really see them play, and not just in any game but in the World Series. Miles’ dad parked their truck on the street and the pair hopped out, Miles grabbing his baseball glove and tucking it underneath his arm. Miles’ dad carefully folded his map and slid it into the pocket of his dress coat. The two walked up the street, Miles practically skipping with excitement, toward a large baseball stadium. A big sign outside read SHIBE PARK.

Newspaper Connection: Honest and kind are character words. What character words do you find in your local newspaper?
