Gallatin’s new water treatment plant nears completion

City of Gallatin officials are proud to announce that construction of the new water treatment plant (WTP) is near completion.

Plant startup is underway, with the facility scheduled to come online by the end of March 2018. David E. Ross Construction Company Inc. is the contractor completing the work, and Snyder & Associates Inc. is the engineer.

A ribbon cutting and open house event is being scheduled.

The date will be advertised, with the public urged to attend.

The WTP provides both improved finished water quality and a facility for years of continued water production. The most notable water quality improvement will be a reduction in water hardness. Hard water is high in the dissolved minerals of calcium and magnesium, and is very common in groundwater sources similar to Gallatin’s.

Hard water is not considered a health risk, but is primarily responsible for scaling in pipes and water heaters, fixture deposits

and stains, laundry discoloration and general cleaning difficulties.

Currently, Gallatin’s finished water hardness is in the 350 to 400 mg/L range. This is very hard water, and the reason many community members use home or business water softening units.

The new WTP has softening equipment capable of producing water with total hardness as low as 100 to 120 mg/L. Once the plant is in full production, community members are encouraged to confirm the new finished water hardness in order to adjust or possibly even remove individual water softening units.

What is in the plant? ● Aeration - The incoming raw water is cascaded through an aerator to provide preliminary iron oxidation and release any

dissolved gases present in the water. ● Clarification – The water is routed to a solids contact clarifier, a concrete basin where lime and the coagulant aluminum sulfate is added to separate solid particulates or suspended solids. The water is gently mixed to aggregate the small precipitated particles together to form larger precipitates called flocs. Once large enough, the flocs settle by gravity to the bottom of the clarifier and are removed. ● Recarbonation - After adding lime, treated water generally has a pH greater than 10. It is necessary to lower the pH to stabilize the water and prevent deposition of carbonate scale on filter media and in distribution piping. Recar-

bonation is achieved through the addition of carbon dioxide, a common process used to reduce pH. ● Filtration – Water is routed through rock and sand media to remove iron, manganese, and any unsettled lime floc present in the treated water. ● Disinfection - Chlorine is added to the water to eliminate any remaining pathogens. ● On-site Storage - Once treated, the water is routed to a clearwell onsite, which is a large concrete storage tank.

Water in the clearwell is pumped to the existing 250,000 gallon water tower, located on the western edge of town, and then distributed through the existing approximate 45 miles of water main to the city’s end users.

Man arrested on drug charges near school

Don Ward was featured on the cover of the 2009 North Eastern Illinois Two Cylinder Club directory. He is harvesting wheat with his model 620 and model 12A combine.

This antique tractor auction really pulls some weight Auctioneer Lonnie Sewell advises collectors to arrive early and stroll around the grassy fields of the Don Ward farm where Sewell Auction Service has arranged Mr. Ward’s collection of a dozen or so vintage tractors, along with combines, rakes, mowers, and other pieces of farm equipment, dating back to the 1930s.

The Don Ward Estate Auction will be held on March 17 at Chula.

Mr. Ward passed away in 2009.

“Mr. Ward’s collection isn’t as large as some,” says Lonnie.

“It’s the man that makes this collection great.”

Mr. Ward was a lifetime agriculture teacher, farmer, and tractor pull enthusiast. He was considered to be the premier go-to guy for any two-cylinder John Deere mechanical issues in the U.S.A. and abroad. “One day I was out at his place and he got a call on his cell phone,” recalls Lonnie. “He proceeded to tell the caller step by step what he needed to do to fix his tractor.

Then he told him if he was ever in the United States to look him (continued on page 16)

Britton Hemingway Kent, 20, Jamesport was arrested March 9 after the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office received report of a silver sedan observed at the Jamesport school with two males who were looking inside students’ vehicles.

According to the probable cause statement, the vehicle was observed near student parking at the school and then it was parked down the block.

Sergeant Larry Adams conducted an investigative traffic stop of Kent’s vehicle, a silver 2008 Hyundai Sonata, near the intersection of West Edmond and South Myrtle Streets in Jamesport at approximately 9:30 a.m.

Kent stated he was looking at a pickup in the student parking because he thought it was owned by another person who was selling the same type of vehicle.

Sergeant Robert Mazur then arrived and spoke with the passenger in the car, who told Sgt. Mazur that Kent was a methamphetamine user and that there might be contraband in the ve-

hicle. The passenger also stated that he had observed Kent with multiple driver’s licenses belonging to other people.

Sgt. Adams then seized two licenses which Kent had in his billfold and placed him under arrest for identity theft.

Kent was transported to the

regional jail by Sergeant Adams.

As Sergeant Mazur observed the impoundment of the vehicle, he observed in plain view a glass methamphetamine smoking pipe and butane torch next to the center console. An inventory of the vehicle revealed methamphet(continued on page 15)

Detention officer charged with sexual misconduct On March 3, 2018, the DeKalb County Sheriff ’s office received information of possible misconduct by a detention officer at the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail District. An immediate joint investigation was begun by the Daviess County Sheriff Office and DeKalb County Sheriff Office.

The results of the investigation yielded the arrest of one detention officer, Michael Byrd of Bethany, an employee of the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.

He was charged March 12 with sexual conduct with prisoner by

officer of jail, E felony.

According to the probable cause report, Byrd solicited and received oral sex from a 33-yearold prisoner on Feb. 28, 2018, while transporting her to the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.

The act occurred on Interstate 35, on the Exit 72, Highway DD, off ramp, Pattonsburg. During an interview, Byrd admitted to having sexual contact with multiple prisoners in various jurisdictions.

The investigation is ongoing at this time.

Nestlé plans to manufacture Chef-mate® products, offer jobs in Trenton Nestlé recently announced a conditional agreement with Conagra Brands, the North American packaged foods company headquartered in Chicago, IL, that will support the manufacturing of Chef-mate products in Trenton, utilizing Nestlé’s proprietary cooked-before-canning (CBC) process.

Chef-mate is a leading brand in foodservice sold through Nestlé Professional, the out-of-home division of Nestlé S.A. Micah Landes, Executive Director of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance (NCMDA), expressed optimism about the economic impact this announcement has for Trenton and surrounding area. As many as 135 to 150 jobs are at stake.

“NCMDA is very happy for our community and that our efforts behind the scenes can be made officially public,” Ms. Landes says. “I am thankful to Phil Tate and our board for their hard work on this project.

Nestle is the largest food manufacturer in the world and a wonderful company. We welcome them to Trenton!”

Under this agreement, Nestlé will purchase from Conagra Brands the proprietary CBC line along with the factory building.

The purchase of these assets will allow Nestlé to implement a focused and lean operation in Trenton while delivering the highest quality manufacturing for the Chef-mate brand.

Nestlé will also manufacture certain Conagra Brand products.

The Chef-mate brand was established in 1967. The product line features authentic comfort food classics like Chefmate Country Sausage Gravy, Chef-mate Corned Beef Hash, Chef-mate Chili Con

Carne and Chef-mate Golden Cheese Sauce. Each product is crafted with the finest ingredients and designed to deliver superior quality and convenience.

In 2016, Conagra Brands announced its intention to close their Trenton factory by the end of May 2018. Nestlé has been engaged in conversation with Conagra Brands, state officials and local officials with the intention of securing future production for Chef-mate at Trenton.

“This announcement

by Nestlé could not have come at a better time for the economic future of our community,” said Trenton Mayor Nick McHargue. “I’m very excited this will happen and improve the business climate of Trenton and the region. This

will help improve the quality of life for all of our citizens.”

Nestlé is committed to the Chef-mate brand and the proprietary cooked-beforecanning process. This unique process was invented in Trenton in 1964 to address the specific needs of the out-of-home industry that utilize larger #10 cans. Under this process, food is piped under pressure to canning equipment and cooked by steam injection. The steam sterilizes the food without overcooking it and reduces the overall processing time so as to deliver a product with consistent, made-fromscratch taste and color.

According to John Petro, director of Nestlé Professional human resources, “Nestlé plans to start an open hiring process in March. This means that anyone interested can apply, including all current factory employees, and we will follow the same hiring policies we employ in all (continued on page 16)

Laughter matters

by Freida Marie Crump

In search of more sunshine What strange times we live.

This is Sunshine Week (March 11-17). For something that sounds so bright and cheery, we must visit about topics like “fake news,” government transparency, and our right to know.

Perhaps our times are so strange because we don’t talk more frequently about such things.

Maybe you rate Sunshine Week right up there with National Potato Chip Day (which happens to be today). Or maybe the designation is no more serious to you than “National Goof Off Day” slated next week on March 22.

Sunshine Week gets lost in such twaddle.

Nobody has to tell newspaper editors how fewer and fewer people seem to care about the current status of journalism concerning matters large and small.

The profession of journalism is no longer held in high regard. I can’t help but wonder what that means concerning our priorities in search of truth.

First, consider how negative attitudes trickle down from the top. Donald Trump was elected President in part by aggressively discrediting the news media.

Sunshine’s glare should focus on the Fourth Estate as well as the government. Opinions on how this should be done vary; I certainly don’t want to defend all in the media I see. Much criticism is justified. But surely there is danger when the rhetoric from leadership becomes so corrosive.

Our Founding Fathers recognized and made special provisions for the Fourth Estate. Contrast that to today, when efforts to sow confusion and contempt for journalists deliberately undermine journalism’s traditional role as a watchdog on government and politicians.

Experts on the press and democracy worry how cries of “fake news” may do long-term damage to our society. Crying “fake news” is now commonplace: • A South Dakota candidate for Congress urged her constituents to submit entries for her “fake news awards” when confronted about controversial views of a prominent endorser (the candidate was South Dakota’s Secretary of State, their chief elections official) • The Kentucky governor tweets #FAKENEWS to dismiss questions about his purchase of a home from a supporter.

• An aide to the Texas land commissioner uses the phrase

to downplay the significance of his boss receiving donations from employees of a company that landed a multimillion-dollar contract.

Allowing or, worse, accepting the tactics of “fake news” erodes trust. Serious journalists worry that such turmoil distracts attention from other matters that demand explanation and transparency. Distractions complicate and confuse. Here in Missouri, for example, our governor faces felony indictment over an illicit sexual incident — a serious dis-

Ja ck “ Captain Ja ck” Crawford was one of the original B lack Hills R angers. He survived many O ld West adventures and was called “ The P oet 18 8 9 poem, entitled “ Truth” :

Truth may sparkle like diamonds, But some men will cast it aside.

Instead they will treasure the mica, And say to the truth, “Let her slide.”

traction impacting his job performance while also distracting from his questioned use of nonprofit organizations using “black money” to slip past public scrutiny.

Finding factual truth in the midst of murky circumstances isn’t easy, and financially risky.

And, let’s face it, there are fewer professional journalists — certainly the kind of aspiring journalists our Founding Fathers sought to protect.

The consequences of eclipsing Sunshine trickle down. When truth no longer matters, apathy increases. People who feel helpless on deplorable national or statewide matters tend to lose initiative to take care of local matters which they can directly impact. See if this list sounds familiar: Anemic Elections — With every passing election in Daviess County, there seems to

be fewer and fewer candidates.

Fewer choices means less focus.

Recently, 22 entities were identified for Daviess County voters where there are no contests between candidates for the upcoming April election. It’s no wonder why so few actually cast votes.

Public Notices — With every passing year, the legislature reconsiders proposals that would seriously weaken our right to know. For instance, last month SB 877 was proposed in the Missouri Legislature. If passed, a trustee of a foreclosure would be allowed to post notice of a trustee’s sale on his or her website — another step toward “Don’t ask ...don’t care” and a step closer to an even more arrogant “What the public doesn’t know won’t hurt them” attitude that some officials already harbor.

Without “Sunshine,” people simply disengage. The apathy increases, even on local matters.

Perhaps that’s why the Lake Viking’s 165th Street road project — where a low bid of $55,850 blossomed into a final total payment of $220,177 — without much public outcry. Special road district board negligence and incompetence nearly approached criminal proportions. And yet, taxpayers there paying the bills didn’t seem to care.

Sunshine Week is about promoting truth on all levels of our society. Casually casting truth aside is a dangerous road to travel. Our Founding Fathers never envisioned our nation without a solid foundation of truth. And, despite what you may think of the media in general, our forefathers never envisioned a time without a functioning Fourth Estate.

Respecting the sincere quest for truth is ancient wisdom.

History repeatedly documents tragedy when truth is discarded.

Voltaire said, “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

Sunshine Week 2018 is less than cheery because the business model sustaining journalism’s traditional and vital role in our society is failing. Fact checking, the investigation of possible misdeeds, and sustaining unpopular efforts to hold powerful entities accountable are not financially rewarding. Sound bites are prized above truth. Americans today choose profits over truth.

So, pardon me, but yes, I believe discussing such topics as these during Sunshine Week is important. Maybe the conversa(continued on page 3 )

Greetings from the Poosey.

“Don’t talk to him. He’s a Republican.”

Those were the first words I heard my grandfather say when I met my uncle at a long ago family reunion. And he said it right in front of Uncle Harold. I hardly came up to the waist of either of these men and I stood there in fear that a fight was about to break out right there between the potato salad and bug spray. Uncle Harold looked at Grandpa and said, “Hang on a minute. I left my gun in the car.” Then both men broke into a spate of laughter that relieved this little kid a great deal. True, Grandpa was a Democrat and Uncle Harold was a Republican, but both men lived their lives with a ribbing relationship. Their politics were just a part of who they were and they didn’t let their political views define them, much less do any damage to lifelong friendships.

I wish we could say the same today.

I’ve never known a time when erstwhile friends have become so bitter toward each other, and in sadly too many cases it’s eventually seeped down to family relationships and done some harm. It’s common just before the Christmas season for a few newspapers and magazines to feature stories on what topics to avoid at family gatherings, and most of these are tongue in cheek. There were no metaphoric tongues in cheeks these past two holiday seasons and in some cases it was more like fist to jaw. North Carolina alone reported three serious domestic quarrels that led to hospital treatment, all because someone mentioned politics.

A handful of New York restaurants now put a limit on the number of alcoholic drinks that can be consumed at a single visit, again because of the disturbances caused in the past year by patrons whose political views took precedence over their appetite. A handful of Chicago bars tried banning the mention of politics but found it was an unenforceable edict. The combination of liquor and elections was just too potent a cocktail. Some cities have unwritten rules in their taverns assuring drinkers that they will only be imbibing with those whose politics match theirs. So far I’ve not read of any politically segregated grocery stores or shoe repair shops but it’s still early in the year.

Famed African-American comedian Dick Gregory once said that until we can laugh at a problem we don’t have it solved. He was among the first to poke a bit of fun at the ridiculous state of race relations in the 1960s, and although his comedy offended some who thought that racial strife was no laughing matter, Gregory kept kidding us about our foibles and attitudes. “Laughter,” he said, “means you’re on your way to understanding.”

An aging Ronald Reagan met Walter Mondale in a presidential debate and promised that he would not exploit Mondale’s age. It brought down the house, and no one laughed harder than Walter.

Admiral Stockton began his Vice Presidential debate with “Who am I? Why am I here?” Even the moderator laughed at the man’s self-effacing humor. Al Gore sort of snuck up on George Bush while George W. was answering a debate question. George stopped and gave him a “What are you doing?” smile and Al smiled back. When Obama and Senator McCain were duking it out just a few weeks prior to the election, Obama took the podium at a fund-raiser that they were both attending. He said, “Contrary to popular belief, I was not born in a manger. I was born on the planet Krypton.” McCain laughed the hardest of anyone in the audience.

Once upon a time in the middle of a far off farm pond, I found myself fishing with my dad. Our little rowboat didn’t amount to much but it was enough to take us into the best fishing holes. I remember that the date was Friday the 13th, but from that point on my memory grows fuzzy. All I can recall is standing up in the boat to cast my line toward a nest of bass and in the next moment I found myself in the pond along with Dad and an overturned rowboat. At this point we had a few choices. We could get angry and curse the fates, blame each other for causing the flip-flop, or berate ourselves for being so careless. Instead, we chose laughter. We simply looked at each other and laughed. Then with some desperation I asked Dad if we should try swimming to shore. He told me it would be easier to stand up and walk to dry ground since the water was only three feet deep. Laughter. It can kill off fear and anger as keenly as any weapon known to man.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

An alternative to the impeachment of Missouri’s governor There are two Missouri historical precedents that state lawmakers might want to consider in dealing with the state’s first criminally indicted governor. One was the only removal of a statewide elected official. The other was the only use of a constitutional process to replace a governor judged unable to discharge his duties.

The first precedent involved the impeachment of Secretary of State Judy Moriarty. She had been convicted of backdating her son’s filing for a legislative race after he missed the deadline. Gov. Mel Carnahan called a special session of the legislature for her impeachment.

There are some major differences between Moriarty’s situation and the potential impeachment issues now facing the Missouri House involving Gov. Eric Greitens’ felony indictment. Unlike Greitens, Moriarty was convicted before the impeachment process began. Another major difference was that in the House investigation of Moriarty, witness testimony was completely open to the public.

Not so with Greitens. The chair of the investigation committee said witness testimony will be behind closed doors and House rules give the chair power to censor the subsequent witness transcripts.

There’s an understandable sensitivity.

Greitens’ indictment involves a charge of invasion of privacy involving a sexual incident in which the victim has sought anonymity. But keeping evidence secret

denies Missouri citizens a full understanding about a House process involving potential removal of the governor.

Another difference between Moriarty’s impeachment and the House investigation of Greitens is that Moriarty’s action occurred while she was in office. Greitens’ action under legislative investigation occurred before he was governor.

The other precedent in Missouri’s history involving replacement of a statewide elected official provides an alternative to P ll the path the House is now oo taking. That precedent was set after the suspected death of Gov. Mel Carnahan in a plane crash during his campaign for the U.S. Senate. It led the Disability Board, established by the state Constitution, to declare the lieutenant governor to be the acting governor based on the constitutional provision giving the board authority to transfer the governor’s powers if it concludes that the governor “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

One day later, Carnahan’s remains were confirmed and Acting Gov. Roger Wilson became the state’s governor for the remaining months of Carnahan’s term.

A Disability Board approach is not as far fetched as it might seem. The initial

capable. But there’s a four-day delay in resuming office to allow the Disability Board to kick the question to the Supreme Court as to whether the governor is capable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Such a Supreme Court hearing and decision would not be much different than the “seven eminent jurists” the Supreme Court dictates the Senate to select to make the final decision on impeachment.

This Disability Board process based on inability to govern would avoid pursuing permanent removal for something that occurred before the governor took office and for an indictment before a conviction. It would avoid the House committee having to investigate the seamy details of a sex scandal since the issue for the Disability Board would be limited to the leadership consequences of a felony indictment. And that would avoid the need for the House investigation committee to violate the spirit of the open meetings law with hearings held in secrete.

But it also would be a significant expansion of a provision, drafted not too many years after John Kennedy’s assassination, that most likely was envisioned for medical disabilities.

I hope it’s safe to say spring is here. We could really use some of those spring showers. We finished February off with .99 inches of measurable precipitation compared to normal 1.98 inches.

Daviess County continues to register at a Stage 1 on the US Drought Monitor.

Thinking of greasing the planter soon? Come sign your ARC/PLC contracts first. It is to your benefit to get those enrolled and out of the way before it’s time to report crops. It can greatly expedite your trip this summer.

Stop by or give us a call if you’re thinking of coming in and we’ll have them ready for you.

CRP cool season grasses can be sprayed or burned as part of required Mid-Contract Management from March 15 through April 30. Warm season grasses can be burned through March 15 and light disking can be done through March 30. If you have any questions about your contract specifically, please don’t hesitate to call us!

New policy has been released to more easily allow the transfer of land to the next generation of farmers and ranchers. USDA is offering an early termination opportunity for certain CRP contracts that are being sold or have a lease to own contract with a beginning farmer or rancher. The policy waives the termination penalty and interest that is normally charged for early termination. This rule took effect Jan. 9.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact the office.

On the topic of CRP, participants in the program should make sure they are complying with the program regulations.

This includes keeping acres free of brush, trees and noxious weeds, no permanent parking

announcement from House leaders after Greiten’s indictment raised the question as to whether the governor could lead because of the criminal case.

“We will carefully examine the facts contained in the indictment and answer the question as to whether or not the governor can lead our state while a felony case moves forward,” the three top House leaders announced.

As quoted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Senate Majority Leader Mike Kehoe voiced similar thoughts. “The news ...causes me to question whether the governor has the ability to effectively lead the state going forward.”

Three of those legislators who expressed concerns about Greitens’ ability to lead while under indictment are members of the Disability Board. If those three legislative leaders truly believe there is a leadership issue, they could call for a board meeting to at least discuss the issue. They constitute a sizable block on the nine-member Disability Board composed of the legislature’s four top leaders and all of the statewide elected officials except the governor.

Once declared unable to discharge his duties, the Constitution allows the governor to resume his office by declaring he’s

machinery on CRP acreage, no haying or grazing without approval or outside of the approved timeframe, and no cropping CRP acreage. Erosion should continue to be monitored and controlled while in CRP. Remember that FSA offers a variety of farm loan programs, including several different farm ownership loans, operating loans, emergency loans and loans on farm storage facility or handling and hauling equipment.

The March interest rate for a seven-year storage or equipment loan is fixed at 2.750%. Contact the Daviess County FSA office or Charles Meissen, farm loan manager at the Harrison County FSA office, for more information.

That’s all, folks. Until next time, we hope everyone has a safe and successful planting and calving season.

The time for legislators to file more bills has now expired.

The rest of session will be about working on those bills until session ends in mid-May. In all, House and Senate members filed 2,401 bills this session, which is about 400 more than last session.

Are all 2,401 bills good ideas for our state? Oh, no. There are a few that are real stinkers. But most would be beneficial for our state, and we will work to pass as many good ones as we can.

One bill that we worked on this week is HB1892, which would allow sheriffs to hire deputies that live in an adjacent state.

Current law forbids deputies from living in another state, which was probably intended to encourage people to move to Missouri to get a job. But instead, it has made it harder for law enforcement to recruit new help.

If this bill passes, it will be of the most benefit to the 47 coun-

ties that are our border counties like Harrison, Worth, and Mercer. This bill now moves to the Senate to be debated next week.

A second bill, HB1872, would encourage more high speed internet development in our state.

Nicknamed the Missouri Rural Broadband Development Act, this bill would create a grant system that businesses could apply for to cover half of the costs of installing high speed internet in our unserved and underserved areas.

HB1872 is worded to mirror the qualifications for a federal grant that would also cover half of the development costs. Using these two grants, internet providers could build out high speed broadband in our state for free, so there would be no excuse for them not to give us the high speed service our rural communities need.

Of course, the money for the grants would have to be appro-

Rep. Graves an advocate for free trade

by Co n g res s man S am G rav es

For generations, agriculture has been North Missouri’s number one industry. As farming has evolved, producers continue to look for new and expanded markets so they can remain viable and profitable. Free trade plays a critical role in making this possible.

As a sixth-generation family farmer, I see the importance of free trade every day. It guarantees that the world is fed and our farmers here at home are able to make a living. Maintaining the viability of agriculture is critical to the success of our state, particularly where we live in North Missouri.

Common sense free trade deals help us maintain the viability of agriculture.

Farming has an economic impact of $88 billion in the state of Missouri supporting nearly 956,500 jobs according to Americans for Farmers and Families.

As a result, Missouri producers exported over $3 billion in total food and agriculture products in 2016. This doesn’t happen without the existence of commonsense free trade deals.

These common-sense trade deals ensure the viability of our Missouri economy. That’s why, this week, I wrote a letter to the U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer encouraging him to look for new opportunities to sell our goods outside of the United States.

This bipartisan letter was signed by every single Missouri Representative on both sides of

the aisle. In an era of partisanship, Missouri stands united to emphasize that free trade is critical to our economy.

President Trump has made strengthening our economy and increasing our global competitiveness a priority by putting America first. We must make sure that we negotiate fair deals with other countries to expand trade and greater wealth for all nations. When the United States grows, so does the world.

Countries around the world already greatly benefit from Missouri’s agricultural products. To ensure future prosperity, The United States should work diligently to increase our agricultural exports while making sure that we take action to safeguard American interests.

priated, and companies would have to apply and win the grants.

But a similar program has recently had success in Minnesota, and so the bill sponsor hopes to copy that success here in Missouri.

Usually about 10% of the bills filed make it across the finish line to become law. Hopefully the two I have mentioned are in that group. I’ll keep you informed each week regarding the bills that look like they have a fighting chance of passing.

Spike: Sunshine (continued from page 1) tion should begin by asking each other if we’re choosing news sources for information or ammunition. Do we seek facts more than we seek opinion? More importantly, do we seek facts before settling into our own opinion?

Truth in today’s society is under attack. The journalists I personally know aspire to maintain standards for accuracy and fairness that go back for decades.

The news sources I choose would never publish a story which contained deliberate falsehoods.

Thus, broad allegations of “fake news” are unjust attacks on a free press, even when phrased to seemingly target some offender.

So, yes, jab at journalism.

That’s OK. Sunshine, first and foremost defined in scripture, stands for truth in all things. If a media source or “fake news” cannot stand right in that light, we don’t need it. We don’t need fakes, not in our public or private life, not in leadership or in our neighbors.

Sunshine Week is about journalism. An alarming number of Americans could care less. But, let me be clear, it’s absolute truth that is under attack.

What strange times we live.

Access II receives CARF accreditation, grant toward purchase of ipads

Photo taken from Lake Viking website photo galleries. Picture by Jon Hausman.

New website for Lake Viking includes informational tools A totally new design is now displayed and in use for www.

LakeVikingMO.com. The official website for the lake community has been rebuilt using software that displays cleanly on mobile devices as well as desktop computers.

A number of new features have been added to encourage lake members to use the website as a reliable communications

tool: Lake Documents – Nine of the most commonly requested application forms and agreements can now be downloaded from the website: membership, campground agreements, clubhouse reservation, building code permit, out-of-town patrol list, watercraft ownership, and Zebra Mussel initiative. Additional documents may be added as re-

OATS transit rolls out new, bright logo After 47 years, OATS is releasing an updated brand identity, which includes a new logo and an added pop of color. The new logo blends OATS original block lettering with a new tagline. You will start to see the new image anywhere OATS is out in public, like the website, Facebook, Twitter, The Wheel newspaper, and very soon as OATS starts rolling out their fleet with the new logo.

Last fall, focus group meetings were held around the state that were comprised of staff, drivers, volunteers, community agencies and riders that OATS serves. These groups looked at a variety of options and a few design elements stood out. 1) Include the word “transit” so

people know what OATS does; 2) include the tagline “operating above the standard”; and 3) add some new color.

“We believe the new look helps modernize our image, and tells people not only what we do, but how we do it,” said Dorothy Yeager, Executive Director. “We will phase in the new logo when we obtain new vehicles.”

A pop of new color (blue), incorporating the word Transit and including a new tagline brings a refreshed look to the company. These changes, along with new mission, vision and values statements, are all part of the company’s approach to prepare for its 50th anniversary in a few short years.

Bulletin Board – Members in good standing may share messages or advertise items for free. An easy submission form provides for convenient review by the lake office and immediate display upon approval.

Video & Photo Gallery – Favorite scenes of Lake Viking, selected from Facebook postings by association members, are featured in a new video with photo galleries under “Lake Life.” The initial photo gallery has scenes from the lake’s 40th anniversary; additional photo galleries are planned. An easy submission form enables viewers to submit more photos and additional photo galleries will be added and reorganized as photos are received.

Many features popular on the previous website are continued, such as a calendar of events, various board and committee lists, meeting minutes, the current Lake Viking handbook, and contact information. The home page will continue to spotlight the most important immediate information before Lake Viking members.

Gallatin Publishing Company has developed and hosted this website without charge to the lake community since 2008. This is the first major reconstruction of the website.

The Silver Haired Legislature is composed of fifteen volunteers from each of the ten statewide Area Agencies on Aging. These 150 senior advocates, elected by their peers, identify and advocate for issues critical to older Missourians.

Kayce Terhune recipient of P.E.O. grant The BQ chapter of P.E.O. in Gallatin, has announced a recipient for the P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education (PCE) grant.

Ms. Kayce Terhune of Gallatin was recommended by the BQ chapter and was awarded a grant to assist with her educational needs.

Established in 1973, the P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education (PCE) presents need-based grants to women in the United States and Canada whose education has been interrupted and who find it necessary to return to school to support themselves and/or their families. Ms. Terhune met all of the criteria for the grant.

P.E.O. is the Philanthropic Educational Organization, established in 1869 at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. It has evolved into one of the largest community based organizations with nearly 6,000 chapters and almost a quarter of a million members.

The cumulative amount of assistance provided to recipients through the six P.E.O. philanthropies is more than $280 million.

G allatin Chief of Police Mark R ichards scratched, bitten by dog.

Stray animals can become aggressive, don’t attempt to handle, call the cops The Gallatin Police Department responds to animal control calls almost every day, according to hie ark ichards These calls can range from a dog-at-large or a dog with no city tags to an aggressive dog.

It is not uncommon for an officer to show up to a call where a citizen has picked up a stray dog or has tied it up waiting for the police to arrive. n arch hie ichards responded to just such a call. A citizen reported a dog-at-large and upon his arrival the citizen took the dog by the collar to keep it from running away.

As hie ichards atte ted to lead the dog to his patrol vehicle the docile dog became aggressive hie ichards as

bitten several times on his arm, and even though he was wearing a coat, the bites broke through the skin. He was eventually able to calm the animal and get it secured.

A frightened animal is unpredictable. The Gallatin Police encourage you to report any animal issues, but it is dangerous for you to handle an unfamiliar animal.

Even if the animal appears to be friendly, this could change instantly.

Please do not handle any stray animals you may come across.

If you need help with an animal issue contact the Gallatin Police Department for assistance at 663-3580.

ar

Karel E. Hazzard departed this life March 10, 2018, at KU Medical Center after a very courageous battle with heart problems and diabetes complications. Services were held March 14 at McWilliams Funeral Home in Gallatin.

Visitation was held Tuesday from 5-7 p.m.

Burial is at the Highland Cemetery in Hamilton. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials may be made to the American Heart Association for Women or the Diabetes Association in care of McWilliams Funeral Home.

Karel Elizabeth (McLaughlin) Hazzard was born April 4, 1944, the daughter of L. Dale and Leola Elizabeth (Lord) McLaughlin in rural Daviess County. She graduated with honors with the class of 1962 at Hamilton High School and attended Central Missouri State College.

Karel was united in marriage to Roy Hazzard on Jan. 11, 1964, at the Christian Church in Kidder. To this union three children were born, Elizabeth, Roy Jr. and Dale.

Karel accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at the age of 12 at the Christian Church in Kidder.

She was a lady of many talents and had the ability of accomplishing many things, whether it was baking a wedding cake or making a wedding gown, or whether it was driving her favorite John Deere 3010 tractor or an 18-wheeler. She could do it all. She always put others first and had the ability to make each one feel special. Karel was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

Karel was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Ron McLaughlin and Daryl Baker.

Karel is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Roy of the home; two sons, Roy Hazzard Jr and wife Tracey of St. Joseph, and Dale Hazzard and wife Jenny of Gallatin, one daughter, Beth Cheesebrough and husband Eric of Round Rock, Texas; brother, Tony McLaughlin and wife Sue of Kansas City; two sisters, Doreen Hacker of Winston, and Marlene Hemminger and husband Neil of Cameron; six grandchildren; one great-grandchild; many nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.

Missouri returns to the ‘Big Dance,’ faces Florida State b y B e nj am in H e rrol d After a five-year hiatus, the Missouri Tigers are back in the NCAA Tournament. That’s reason to celebrate. The tournament is always special, but especially so after some very low years for the program. The Tigers (20-12) are back in the show.

Missouri flopped early at the SEC Tournament in St. Louis, losing 62-60 to Georgia. It was a tough missed opportunity with the conference tournament on home soil, but a nice showing in the national tournament would more than make up for that.

Missouri, #8 seed in the West Region, plays #9 Florida State on Friday in Nashville (8:50 p.m. on TBS).

First, the bad news. Missouri will be without second-leading scorer Jordan Barnett. A senior, Barnett was suspended for a game after an arrest for drunk driving. He’ll be missed, but the Tigers still have some firepower.

Now the good news. This is a game Missouri can win, as you might expect in an 8 seed vs.

9 seed game. Even winning a single game in the NCAA Tournament is a big deal. Missouri’s last win in the tournament was three coaches ago.

Also, the Tigers got a boost when freshman Michael Porter Jr. returned for that game in the SEC Tournament. He’s still getting back to his full capacity, but his length and scoring ability and basketball knowledge were on display.

Missouri has overcome some obstacles this season, but the

Tigers are definitely playing shorthanded Friday. With transfers, injuries and now Barnett’s suspension, Missouri is down to just eight available players, only seven of whom saw significant minutes this season.

Coach Cuonzo Martin has his work cut out for him. Florida State presents a good challenge.

The Seminoles (20-11) went 9-9 in a very competitive Atlantic Coast Conference. Florida State has an experienced coach,

Leonard Hamilton, and experienced players, led in scoring by junior Terance Mann and seniors Phil Cofer and Braian Angola. They also have youth, with sophomore guard Trent Forrest facilitating the offense.

According to Ken Pomeroy’s rankings, Florida State has the nation’s 30th best offense. The Seminoles prefer to play at an up-tempo style. Missouri and Martin have preferred to slow it down and grind it out. That

should make for an interesting tug of war for control of the pace of the game.

This is a tough one to project.

It’s probably close to a 50-50 game.

I think Missouri might actually have a slight edge, and the Tigers could be due for a bounceback after the poor performance against Georgia. But it should be close.

If Missouri wins, the Tigers will probably play #1 Xavier on Sun-

9

day, unless North Carolina Central or Texas Southern become the first #16 to ever beat a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Xavier went 28-5 and presents a big challenge. The Musketeers are led by sensational seniors Trevon Bluiett and J.P. Macura.

Still, Missouri could pull the upset and make the Sweet 16.

That’s the beauty of March Madness; anything can happen, and the opportunities are huge.

A l tam ont U nite d M e th odist There was a great crowd Sunday for our chalk artist, Randy Davis. The theme was “Priorities,” based on Matthew 6:25-34.

A scene of blue sky and clouds prepared beforehand was enhanced in front of the audience with a vision for a gate labeled “S.I.V.” Davis filled in the scene with figures, a mountain, and a road leading to higher ground, which was symbolic of faith in Jesus and the road to eternal life.

The program ended with the use of special lights that revealed a hidden drawing which in Sunday’s case was the face of Jesus. The drawing was accompanied by taped music.

We appreciated the spiritual organ and piano music by Richard Evans and daughter Kim, “It is Well With My Soul.” Offertory ushers were David Roll and Jack Malo.

The benediction was given by Pastor Eugene Keats of Winston. Donuts and coffee were served by Pastor Marilyn.

C of f e y B aptist Bro. Tim gave the opening prayer for our morning worship and led the congregation in singing “Because He Lives.” The announcements were given. Bible study for both children and adults is at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Some of our Baptist women are planning to attend WOM retreat on Friday evening at the Emmanuel Church in Bethany. The children’s message was given.

Please remember with prayer, visits and phone calls those

M

o

who have health concerns. Our offertory hymn was “Amazing Grace.” Bro. Tim’s message was from Romans 12:9-13, “How to Live a Christian Life.” Our closing hymn was “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.” Remember to pray for one another.

F rie nds in C h rist Shonna Morrison opened with announcements, and Mike Earnst led in prayer. Praise songs were “Because He Lives” and “Chain Breaker.” We are in the sermon series, “90: A Journey Through the Life of Christ.”

Today’s message was “Redefining Greatness” by Clay Scroggins of North Point Church in Atlanta, Ga. The message was based on Mark 10:35-45 and John 11:45-53. Small group time followed the message.

Gal l atin U nite d M e th odist Sue Bird, organist, played the prelude as Maddox lit the altar candles and Pastor Mike Tipton led the call to worship. Melanie’s children’s message was “Eternal Life is the Best Gift.” Pastor Mike’s sermon, “What the Cross is All About,” was based on John 3:14-21.

March 14 is Kids’ Quest from 3-5 p.m. March 14 at 6:30 is Lenton Bible Study. March 16 is Winter Jam at Sprint Center for junior-senior high students.

Thank You

We cannot find the right words in the dictionary to express our appreciation for the kindnesses shown our family at the time of the passing of our loved one, Arnel Bruce. If you said a prayer, remembered a social event and saw a camera flash, heard special music at church, had a flashback at the Theatre League production, remembered the noisy guy in the bleachers cheering on a friend’s child; if you came calling on the family with support, food, or flowers, helped in any way, we offer our heartfelt thanks. A special thank you to the Class of ‘78 and other school mates for all you have done. God bless all of you for helping us bear our grief. ~ Lucille Bruce, Venora & John Deemer, Stephanie and Isabelle Alvord Gal l atin F irst C h ristian First Christian Church began the 8:20 a.m. worship service with the praise team leading the congregation in song.

at Lock Springs as it was headed toward Trenton from Kansas City. Once the train stopped, there were six to ten persons standing on each side of the train, many holding signs. They asked the engineer if the train carried any imported beef but he was unable to answer since the conductor is the only member of the crew with that information.

The locomotive was pulling at least 80 empty grain cars.

Six Bulldogs were honored last week when voting for MVP by the boys’ and girls’ squads took place and the all-conference players were disclosed. Girls’ MVP was Kathy Smith, senior.

M arc h 1 4 , 1 9 6 8 Raymond Ridlin, faced with moving his “Garden Valley” store as a result of the relocation of Highway 6 in the Gallatin area, has constructed a new building that proves Mr. Ridlin has been an enterprising merchant through the years, having started with the proverbial “hole in the wall.”

M arc h 1 3 , 1 9 5 8 Junior Hockensmith and Marvin Blackburn will unveil their new building here Monday with a Grand Opening celebration.

Gallatin has voted an $8,000 bond issue which amount is matched by the state and the combined amount matched by the federal government, providing a $32,000 port.

The Growler pep squad banquet, high-ranking annual event on the Gallatin High School social calendar and dedicated to the heroes of the 1947-48 athletic season, was held last Friday evening at the school. Miss Lois Millikan, pep squad president and football queen, presided.

The dinner was served by candlelight by the Band Boosters club.

Route 36 work in DeKalb & Caldwell A resurfacing and realignment project in DeKalb and Caldwell counties is set to begin soon. Contractor crews from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to begin the first phase of this multi-phase project on Monday, March 19.

The first phase of the project will begin with the construction of median crossovers and two turn lanes in anticipation of a realignment of the westbound lanes of U.S. Route 36 near Osborn. The roadway may be reduced to one lane each direction

during portions of this phase which will take approximately three weeks.

During the second phase, realignment, the westbound lanes of U.S. Route 36 will close and all traffic will move to a head-tohead traffic pattern in the eastbound lanes. This second phase could begin in the early part of April and will conclude around July 4, 2018. Towards the end of this phase access to Route 33 North will be closed as a new intersection is constructed.

Crews plan to work during daylight hours Monday through Saturday.

In March, while basketball teams are fighting for the chance to be crowned champions, patients battling cancer and other illnesses are fighting for their lives. The American Red Cross is asking blood donors to help patients rebound by making a lifesaving donation this spring.

Area residents may donate at the Winston R-6 School from 2-6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21.

Middle school basketball player Olivia Stoy received blood and platelet transfusions during treatment for T lymphoblastic lymphoma. With the help of blood and platelet donations, the 14- year-old has returned to the basketball court and, more importantly, beat cancer.

“We are so thankful that the blood products were available to Olivia for the almost two years of her treatment. They have made it possible for Olivia to regain her strength and get back to doing the activities she loves,” said Megan Stoy, Olivia’s mother.

Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure that the Red Cross can collect more than 13,000 blood and platelet donations needed every day for patients like Olivia.

Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767).

From th e Bench

We need civil political discourse E ditor’ s N ote : This series of articles is intended to encourage a better understanding of the j udicial system and changes in the law. The last article featured Missouri S upreme Court Chief Justice Z el Fischer and his recent “ S tate of the Judiciary” speech to Missouri’ s G eneral Assembly. This article is a follow- up to his comments. b y C irc u it J u dg e R . B re nt E l l iott I have great admiration for Justice Fischer. He has risen from humble rural Missouri roots to a position due great respect. As my grandmother used to put it, “He’s a country boy made good.” We recently acknowledged another such country boy with the celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. No one has derived from more humble beginnings and assumed such power under more adverse conditions. Lincoln guided this country through its most tumultuous civil trial in history. He did so while appealing to, as he put it, “the better angels of our nature.”

Chief Justice Fischer presides over an endless supply of meetings with his six Supreme Court colleagues. The judges come from vastly different backgrounds and represent every viewpoint of our political spectrum. Yet, they engage in discussions about politically charged issues without the utterance of a harsh word. .

Like Missouri’s Supreme Court, there are seven judges in our 43rd Judicial Circuit. Like the high court, our judges hail from a diversity of backgrounds with a broad spectrum of political views. Our 43rd Circuit Judges frequently meet to modify or adopt rules, budgets, and discuss other issues. I am proud to say the judges may not always agree, but never a cross word is spoken.

One need only view the news to see we are a nation in turmoil. Politicians (and civilians) at odds to such extremes all civility is evaporated. School shootings, often fueled by the prevalence of bullying among our youth, are rampant. Clashes between civilians and law enforcement officials, parents, and school officials. Query, where, or how, will it all end?

Perhaps we could follow the leads of Chief Justice Fischer and 43rd Circuit Presiding Judge Tom Chapman and engage in civil political discourse. Perhaps we should, as Lincoln put it, appeal to “the better angels of our nature.”

Next column we’ll discuss some recent changes in Missouri’s laws.

Antique tractor auction (continued from page 1) up. I asked him where the caller was from. Don said he was from Spain. That’s how far-reaching Mr. Ward’s reputation was.”

Mr. Ward’s dozen or so antique tractors, including a couple his father bought new, is considered modest as collections go. Novice collectors might have only two or three, but die hard collectors usually have 20-25 or more.

Still, Lonnie says he expects a large crowd with people willing to come great distances. One particular tractor will be of inter-

his life, as for his tractors.

Mr. Ward was an educator for 33 years, including six years as a vocational agriculture teacher and 23 years teaching farm mechanics. He retired from teaching in 1991. He and his wife Eleanor had two sons, Dale and Craig. Don passed away in 2009 and Eleanor passed away in 2017. They had lived on the family farm that Don’s grandfather homesteaded in 1856.

“Mr. Ward was born on the property where we’re having the auction,” Lonnie says.

“He passed away 100 feet from where he was born.”

The event is generating attention well in advance of the sale, not so much due to the number of tractors, but to their quality.

Expect a crackdown St. Patrick’s weekend This St. Patrick’s Day weekend, make sure your luck doesn’t run out by planning ahead for a sober ride home, should you choose to take part in the celebration.

The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety reminds motorists of the various options available to get everyone home safe.

Designating a sober driver, calling a cab or using public transportation are just a few of those options.

Preliminary 2017 data indicates that 185 people were killed and 592 seriously injured in crashes involving at least one substance-impaired driver. Fiftyone of those drivers were under the age of 21. Missouri’s Zero Tolerance Law states that drivers under 21 years old caught with even a trace of alcohol in their system will have their licenses suspended.

Besides driving completely

sober, motorists are advised to put their cell phones down while driving and always buckle up – everyone, every trip, every time.

Buckle Up, Phone Down. “We encourage all drivers to make smart choices so that everyone gets home safe.” said MoDOT Highway Safety Director Bill Whitfield.

To learn more, visit the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety website at savemolives. com, or follow us on social media at Save MO Lives. Drive sober or get pulled over.
