New logo for Aging Resource Center selected from 27 student entries

An accident on I-35 has resulted in the death of a Grant City man. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at about 7:45 a.m.

March 7 on southbound I-35 in Daviess County.

About one mile south of Pattonsburg, Charles Florea, 85, Grant City, lost control of his 2001 Dodge Dakota on the icecovered roadway. The vehicle traveled off the west side of the roadway, down an embankment, and overturned, coming to rest facing west.

Mr. Florea was pronounced on scene by Daviess County Coroner Jason Smith. The vehicle was totaled. The accident was investigated by Tpr. J.P. Lynch, assisted by Trp. J.J. Thompson.

The Active Aging Resource Center is getting a new identity!

A branding contest was held in late fall. Daviess County schools in the Active Aging Resource Center’s service area were asked to submit branding ideas which were voted on by the Center’s Board of Directors. Morgan Glidewell of Gallatin R-5 High School was the winner of the contest. Her design was adopted and will be used for marketing of the Meals on Wheels, Adult Dining, and Benefits Counseling services at the Active Aging Resource Center. There were 27 entries in the branding contest.

“Our Board had a tough job picking a winner,” said Administrator Deanna Lewis. “We appreciate all the submissions and the creativity of Daviess County students. You will see the new brand on our social media and print media. Later this spring we plan to update the exterior of our building which will include a sign with our new brand.”

NRCS sets April 15 application deadline for easements

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has set an April 15 deadline to apply for wetland and agricultural land easements in Missouri. NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to help private landowners, tribes, land trusts and other groups protect valuable lands through easements.

The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) focuses on restoring and protecting wetlands as well as conserving productive agricultural lands and grasslands. Landowners are compensated for enrolling their land in easements.

Through ACEP Wetland Reserve Easements, NRCS helps landowners re-

store and protect wetland ecosystems by compensating landowners for the easements. Wetlands provide many benefits, including critical habitat for a wide array of wildlife species. They also store floodwaters, clean and recharge groundwater, sequester carbon, trap sediment, and filter pollutants for clean water.

“Wetlands are one of nature’s most productive ecosystems,” State Conservationist J.R. Flores said. “They provide many ecological, societal and economic benefits. This program gives landowners a way to restore and preserve wetlands long-term while also easing the impact of the land not being available for agricultural production.”

Wetland conservation easements are either permanent or for 30 years. Eligible lands include farmed or converted wetlands that can successfully be restored, croplands or grasslands subject to flooding, and riparian areas that link protected wetland areas. As part of the easement, NRCS and the landowner work together to develop a plan for the restoration and maintenance of the wetland.

Through ACEP Agricultural Land Easements, NRCS provides funds to conservation partners to purchase conservation easements on private working lands.

This program helps keep working lands working, especially in areas experiencing development pressure.

Partners include state or local agencies, non-profits and tribes. Landowners continue to own their property but voluntarily enter into a legal agreement with a cooperating entity to purchase an easement.

The cooperating entity applies for matching funds from NRCS for the purchase of an easement from the landowner, permanently protecting its agricultural use and conservation values.

Landowners do not apply directly to NRCS for funding under this program.

Easements are permanent. Eligible lands include privately owned cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and forestlands.

Local water systems listed in annual census of Missouri Public Water The Missouri Department of Natural Resources announces the availability of the 2019 Annual Census of Missouri Public Water Systems. This report defines the quality and safety of drinking water provided by Missouri’s 2,747 public water systems for 2018.

The annual Census of Missouri Public Water Systems provides detailed information regarding the volume, source water type, population and other characteristics of water systems. In addition, test results for selected chemicals are included along with the types of treatments used by Missouri water systems.

“This report shows when people drink the water in Missouri, they can be confident the water is safe and meets state and federal standards,” said David Lamb, Chief of the Department of Natural Resources’ Public Drinking Water Branch. “Our department works closely

with water systems to make sure any problems are addressed quickly and that long-term solutions are in place to protect the health of Missouri’s citizens.”

The department is required to produce a census annually under the Missouri Revised Statutes, Title XL, Chapter 640, Section 640.120. The 2019 Census of Missouri Public Water Systems is available online at dnr.mo.gov/env/ wpp/census.htm.

Daviess County falls under the Kansas City Regional Office: Region 1.

Snow geese headed for the Arctic A huge flock of snow geese have settled in the fields in the Magill river bottom. The white and black geese are loud and can be heard in Gallatin.

The geese first settled in fields north of the Grand River, but moved and have now settled south of the river. Snow geese breed from late May to mid August, but they leave their nesting areas and spend more than half the year on their migration to-and-from warmer wintering areas. During spring migration, large flocks of snow geese fly very high along narrow corridors, more than 3,000 miles from traditional wintering areas to the tundra. Snow geese feed in grain fields as soon as they reach the prairies in September, and they continue to use agricultural fields until they leave the prairies in April and May on their way to Arctic breeding areas. The abundance of waste agricultural grain has provided snow geese with excellent forage and has improved the survival of wintering geese. The national wildlife refuges bought to protect habitat also help to increase survival.

Therefore, more geese are returning to the Arctic to breed each spring.

OPINION

March 13, 2019

Food for thought

Do you think July 7 should become known as “Missouri Sliced Bread Day?” It’s food for thought, or so says State Rep. Rusty Black (R-Chillicothe). After all, lots of things get measured by being “the best thing since sliced bread,” right?

Perhaps you already know that Otto Rohwedder designed the first and second commercial bread-slicing machines, according to the National Museum of American History. Rohwedder’s bread-slicing machine was first put into service by the Chillicothe Baking Company in 1928. And Kleen Maid Sliced Bread became an instant success.

Consumption of bread increased after the invention of the slicing machine, because slices were thinner than the hand-cut versions, so people could eat more. It was also more convenient to eat bread more frequently when it didn’t require slicing. Spreads such as jam and honey also saw a huge surge in popularity thanks to the invention.

Pointing to this history, Rep. Black recently sponsored House Bill 78 to commemorate the first sale of sliced bread which happened in ChilliO the E itor s S ike cothe, Missouri.

This wasn’t the first try at getting legislation on this slice of Missouri history passed. It was also brought up in the 2018 session. Despite some support from a few colleagues, Rep. Black probably knew the proposal would not

by Darryl Wilkinson likely take priority over meatier matters when he closed his comments last week with this pun: “Help me in going against the grain, and vote yes for Missouri’s sliced bread.”

Actually, I like the idea. We’re not exactly doing anything else with July 7th, are we?

Bread is one of our oldest and most basic sources of nourishment.

Some link baked bread with the brewing of beer going as far back as the Neolithic era – that time when humans began domesticating sheep, cattle, pigs and goats as convenient food sources, before the Bronze Age. But that’s a rather oldy-moldy view of bread.

Fresh bread is much better. Just the mention of it triggers vivid memories of yeast bread served warm from grandma’s oven ...and hot rolls snuggled between fried chicken and mounds of mashed potatoes all smothered with white gravy.

The pre-dawn aroma of fresh bread from the Paradise Donut Shop is as strong as any recollection during my college days while enrolled at Northwest Missouri State. And I can’t drive by the vacant lot where McDonald Tea Room once stood without remembering the aroma of fresh bread whenever I arrived there to attend a Rotary Club luncheon. These are memories I savor.

Today sliced bread has been a kitchen reality we take for granted.

Bread was one of the first food products to succumb to automatic machinery. The earliest bread-cutting devices using parallel blades appeared in America in the 1860s. But these machines sat on shelves for decades until other equipment allowed for the delivery of bread in uniform shape, size and consistency.

I suppose this whole topic prompts the question, what was the best thing before sliced bread? Those in the know say wrapped bread.

Here’s another tidbit. The sliced bread boom ground to a temporary halt in 1943 when American officials placed a ban on it. The idea was to free up steel and conserve stocks of waxed paper for the war effort. But the ban lasted just over two months, after it was found the savings weren’t as much as expected.

Chillicothe, MO, is the home of sliced bread. Maybe that’s not earth-shattering news, but a town could be noteworthy for a lot less.

Which version for bridge funding? b y St at e R ep. J . E ggel st o n

Last year, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) was given and spent about $4.6 billion of taxpayer money on the construction and maintenance of Missouri roads, bridges, and other transportation assets that MoDOT manages. This $4.6 billion comes from your gas tax, diesel tax, license and registration fees, and federal matches on some of that money.

Since I have been in the legislature, MoDOT has said that $4.6 billion is not enough. Last year, during the 21st Century Missouri Transportation Task Force meetings, MoDOT said they needed an additional $800+ million to do everything they want to do in transportation.

A few years ago, a sales tax increase to send more money to MoDOT was on the ballot, but it failedoosey with the voters. Last year, a gas tax increase -- which also contained language about highTimeless from way patrolmusings funding and Olympic rieda Marie Crump voters found medals that some confusing -- was on the ballot, but it also failed. So in this legislative session, several ideas have been floated on how to get MoDOT more money without raising taxes.

The first idea came from Gov. Parson. His idea was to borrow $350 million dedicated to fixing about 250 smaller-to-medium sized bridges around the state, which would free up $350 million

St. Patrick -- Christ’s Servant b y D r . H . W ad e P ar i s

Next Sunday, March 17, is St. Patrick’s Day. The most common way of celebrating will be the wearing of green. Perhaps the wearing of the green is more fitting today than ever before. There is a worldwide effort to green our world and save the planet.

Unfortunately, many people think of Saint Patrick’s Day only in terms of celebrations. Those celebrations can be as simple as wearing green or as complicated as a parade. However, one’s appreciation for this day may very well change if you know St. Patrick’s story. He was born in Wales about AD 385. His given name was Maewyn. Though his father was a deacon in the Roman church, Maewyn considered himself a pagan until the age of 16. At that age, he was captured and sold into slavery by Irish marauders. In Ireland, he was forced to tend sheep on isolated hillsides. He was homesick and very lonely. He turned to God for solace and help.

Six years after his kidnapping, he escaped and returned home. One might think he would be bitter and want to destroy the people that enslaved him. Instead, he felt called to return to Ireland.

He believed his calling was “to bring the pagans to Christ” and trained many years for his return.

In his mid-thirties he was finally able to go back to Ireland and did a remarkable work there for more than 30 years.

This brief account recalls several Christian truths. First, forgiveness is a life-changing/life-giving attribute. Young Maewyn might easily have sought revenge and become a crusader, who would today be known as Maewyn the Great. Instead, forgiveness led him to change a country for good and thus become Saint Patrick.

He literally practiced Jesus’ instruction to “Love your enemies.”

The second thing we notice is how God took the terrible wrong of his enslavement and turned it into good. It is very much like the Old Testament story of Joseph, whose bothers sold him into Egyptian slavery.

Finally, let us note Patrick traded his Irish servitude for Christian servitude. Like the apostle Paul (Romans 1:1), he humbly considered himself a servant of Christ. The words on St. Patrick’s breastplate could serve as a prayer for us all, “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me.” Amen.

that would have gone to those projects to be used in other ways

by MoDOT. The $350 million would be paid back $30 million per year over 15 years out of general revenue, for a total of $450 million spent.

Some in the legislature are concerned about the governor’s plan because they don’t like the idea of expending $100 million in taxpayer money on interest to pay back what we borrowed.

They are also concerned about using general revenue for roads and bridges, which has never been done. General revenue is the non-earmarked pot of money used to pay for schools, ag, corrections, and other government services.

A small group of Senators has proposed a second idea of dedicating 50% of excess general revenue for bridges. While this

would still use general revenue, it would only dip into what is left after all other departments have been funded, and would not include borrowing and so would have no interest.

Then, this week the House budget chair Cody Smith included a budget line item of $100 million in his budget plan to dedicate to roads and bridges, which is a third idea for additional MoDOT funding. This would come from the main pool of general revenue – not the excess – but would also be free of loan interest payments.

Session wraps up in mid-May. Whether we go with the governor’s plan, the Senate’s plan, or the House budget chair’s plan is difficult to say at this time.

Or we may just say $4.6 billion is enough for MoDOT and leave things as they are. We shall see.

Co-op baseball experiment begins for Tri-County, Gallatin athletes A group of male athletes from Tri-County of Jamesport and Gallatin high schools is certainly hoping that warmer temperatures and clearer skies mean Old Man Winter has finally loosened his grip on Northwest Missouri.

The spring baseball season is underway for area high schools, with first games coming up next week for Tri-County’s “new look” squad that includes an influx of Gallatin players in the first ever co-operative agreement between the two schools.

Officially designated as TriCounty w/Gallatin, the team is set to face Cainsville w/Ridgeway next Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Jamesport City Park, which will be the site of all 9 home games this season. This will be the second season for spring baseball at Tri-County, with more than

double the participation numbers from last season due to the co-op agreement.

“The co-op agreement has been a welcome addition,” says Tri-County Head Coach Chris Wever. “I believe we will have depth at every position,” he adds. “The biggest effect the co-op agreement will have is on our amount of pitchers. With the pitch count rule, it is vital to have a solid group of pitchers and we believe we have that.”

By National Federation of State High Schools (NFHS) rules, no senior high pitcher may exceed the daily maximum of 105 pitches. In addition, different individual pitch counts require a certain amount of rest (days) between appearances.

For example, a pitcher who threw 60 pitches in a game would be required to have 2 days rest

Baseball practices started on Feb. 25, with the first four sessions able to be held outdoors.

Since then, most practices have been forced inside.

“Both schools are contributing to a group of very talented young men,” Coach Wever said.

“It has been difficult to evaluate positions so far, however, because of the weather conditions.”

Tigers face Georgia to open SEC Tourney b y B enj am in H erro ld As the final seconds wound down on Saturday, in the regular season finale at Mizzou Arena, Senior Day for the Tigers, senior guard Jordan Geist had the ball with Missouri down 71-68 to Ole Miss. The crowd of 11,050, pretty feisty and loud for the game, stood in anticipation.

Missouri had led by 10 early in the second half. But the lead had evaporated, as has happened too often to the Tigers this season, and now Geist was trying to bail his team out in his final game at Mizzou Arena.

Geist dribbled and dribbled

and then drove into the lane, lofting a layup. Bruce Stevens blocked the shot with authority, swatting away the ball and the Tigers’ win chances. Two Terrence Davis free throws later, the final score was Ole Miss 73, Missouri 68.

It was that kind of day, and that kind of season for the Tigers. Missouri (14-16, 5-13 in SEC play) honored Geist and Kevin Puryear pregame, senior starters, as well as walkon senior and student section favorite Adam Wolf, and senior Cullen VanLeer, who medically retired before the season but

still worked with the team this year. Those seniors saw plenty of losses, but they were also part of an NCAA Tournament team last year.

Ole Miss (20-11, 10-8 in SEC) got a much-needed win for their NCAA Tournament hopes.

Missouri’s only postseason tournament will likely be the SEC Tournament in Nashville this week. The Tigers start that tournament by facing Georgia on Wednesday (6 p.m. on SEC Network).

Missouri lost to Georgia in their first SEC Tournament game last year, a tough loss that rapidly ended their “home” conference tournament, held in St. Louis last year. However, in more recent and relevant history, the Tigers shellacked Georgia on the road last Tuesday.

The Bulldogs (11-21, 2-16 in SEC) could barely get any offense going at all, and some late buckets in garbage time saved them a truly embarrassing point total, with Missouri winning 6439.

That result would bode well for Missouri’s chances in their tournament game, although it’s good to remember this is the 12th place team in the SEC (Missouri) vs. the 13th place team (Georgia). No result would be truly shocking.

Of course, if you’d like to put on the delusional optimist hat for a minute, it’s worth noting the SEC Tournament bracket sets up for a little run for the Tigers if they can bring their A game.

They’re on the opposite side of the bracket from heavyweights

Damages filed in 2014 fire on square A civil suit for damages has been filed by Barry and Kathy Kagay of Amity against Shelter Mutual Insurance of Jefferson City, Jerald T. Garnett of Gallatin, and Madget Demolition of St. Joseph.

The suit stems from a fire which occurred March 5, 2014, on the east side of the Gallatin square. The fire started in the Shelter Insurance office which was operated by Tom Garnett.

The fire spread to Eileine’s Beauty Shop and Flowers Unlimited. The Shelter office and Eileine’s Beauty Shop were total losses. There was significant damage to the Flowers Unlimited building, which was eventually demolished, and the Subway shop owned by the Kagays.

The suit alleges that Garnett left the natural gas heater on in his office, knowing that the heater had malfunctioned on several occasions.

The suit further alleges that Madget Demolition was negligent in the demolition of the Flowers Unlimited building and caused extensive damage to the north exterior wall of the Kagays’ building. The suit states that Madget Demolition left the Kagays’ building with leaks through the north wall, no water proofing membrane, insufficient backfill along the foundation, and inadequate drainage for water to flow away from the Kagays’ building.

The suit was filed on March 5, 2019, five years to the day from the date of the fire.

Winston resident surprised by account of a neighbor in California newspaper It’s a small world.

Betty Edwards of Winston has heard that saying all of her life. But she never realized how truly small our world is, until she made a trip to see her sister Bonnie and brother-in-law Floyd Shrimplin in Redlands, CA, arriving there on Feb. 28.

When they picked up the local paper, Redlands City News, they were surprised to see a story about Don Wiglesworth of Winston. It turns out that Don’s daughter, Margie Miller, was a

publisher for City News Group newspapers, and had written a tribute about her father for the paper. Margie was able to visit her father in Winston last year, shortly before he passed away this January.

“What are the chances of a newspaper way out in California having a story about a man I knew from Winston?” says Betty. “I didn’t know Don really well, but I knew of him. He’d done electrical work for my husband and my son.”

Man defrauds over 90 in cattle scheme, faces 8 prison years, $3.2 million restitution Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has commended the office’s Securities Division for its role in investigating a Clinton, Mo. man who was sentenced in federal court for a $4.7 million investment cattle fraud scheme that involved more than 90 investors across 21 states.

“Over many months, our securities division investigated Cameron J. Hager and worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to bring an iron-clad

case against him,” Ashcroft said.

“We’re pleased to coordinate with federal officials and the Office of the U.S. Attorney, Western District, to bring this to a conclusion and obtain restitution for his victims.”

Hager was sentenced to eight years in federal prison without parole and was ordered to pay more than $3.2 million in restitution. He pled guilty last June to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering.

The story appeared on page six in the local section of the Feb. 28 issue of the Redlands newspaper, titled ‘Don Wigglesworth: My First Hero’.

Betty says she had a great trip visiting her sister Bonnie whom she had not seen for 10 years. Bonnie and Floyd moved to California when he was transferred with his job about 50 years ago.

Betty says reading the story about a fellow Winston resident only made her trip that much better. She traveled with a niece and her mother and a friend.

She flew out to California on a Thursday, returning Monday.

“We got wheelchairs on the plane,” says the very ablebodied and active 85-year-old, who is employed at the Daviess County Library. “That’s the way to travel. We were first on the plane and got seats up front, with the restrooms right there.”

Betty and her late husband Donald are the parents of two children, Clyde of Winston, and Coleen of Deadwood, S.D. They have six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
