Only 2 votes separate R-2 candidates Hoover, Teel on Pattonburg R-2 board; Evans re-elected alderman Yesterday’s election results are officially tallied. Only a meager 7.45% of those eligible to vote participated to decide candidates and issues for local school districts and municipalities.

Pattonsburg R-2 School featured the only race among candidates for school board in the entire county. There were four candidates vying for two seats.

Elected were Lyle “Briggs” Hoover with 45 votes and Brian Teel with 36 votes; others were Amy McCrary with 34 votes and Dustin W. Sperry 19 votes.

Candidates Daniel Plemons and incumbent Steven Evans squared off seeking the position of West Ward Alderman in the City of Gallatin. Evans retained his seat with 34 votes; Plemons received 12 votes. Two write-in votes were also cast.

The only other contested ballot between declared candidates occurred at Jameson where three candidates filed for two trustee positions.

Votes cast yesterday were as

follows: Deeann J. Fisher with 20 votes, Julie Hefley 16 votes, and Mary Probert 13 votes.

Write-in votes determined a number of other ballot outcomes.

Carl McBee had declared himself as a write-in candidate for Gallatin East Ward Alderman before election day. Eighteen votes were cast. Unofficial results are Carl McBee with 13; Setera F. Seya 1; Kate Chrisman 1; and Tamara Jones 1.

Daviess County PWSD #2 elected Cody Selby as director for Sub District #2 for a 3-year term (with 91 votes against 2 write-in); he was the only declared candidate for the position.

Voters in the Jamesport Special Road District approved continuation of a 25-cent tax levy per $100 assessed valuation for another four years (17 yes, 3 no).

John T. McKiddy, as the only declared candidate, was elected to serve a 3-year commissioner position.

Voters in the Lock Springs Special Road District approved

It’s time for morels!

To the uninitiated, a morel does not have the most appetizing appearance. Its brain-like form looks like something out of a campy horror movie, and a morel’s neutral, earthy color doesn’t command much attention.

From about late March to early May, however, foraging for these small mushrooms is seri-

ous business — a business so serious that many folks refuse to reveal their morel spots even to their closest friends and family!

The question many people ask this time of year is, “How can I find morels?” Well, morels are finicky fungal organisms. The underground portion of the fungus only produces mushrooms

the continuation of a 35-cent tax levy per $100 valuation for another four years (6 yes, 0 no). Lisa Showalter, as the only declared candidate, was elected to fill a 3-year commissioner position.

Colfax Township voters approved the continuation of a 25cent tax levy per $100 valuation for another four years (37 yes, 5 no). Richard Evans was elected trustee. LaRae Loyd and Jeff Lee were elected as directors, and Sandra Morrison will fill the clerk position.

Voters in 10 townships all approved the continuation of a 35cent tax levy per $100 valuation for another four years.

This includes Grand River (28 yes, 11 no), Harrison (2 yes, 0 no), Jackson (5 yes, 1 no), Jefferson (30 yes, 10 no), Lincoln (5 yes, 1 no), Marion (17 yes, 2 no), Monroe (8 yes, 1 no), Salem (21 yes, 9 no), Sheridan (17 yes, 5 no), and Washington townships (6 yes, 1 no). Townships also used writein ballots for trustee, director and clerk positions. in some years — mostly based on soil temperature and moisture availability (but other factors play a role, too). Ultimately, most of what we know about finding morels is anecdotal and widely variable, but here are a few tips to help you narrow down good places to look for morels: • Morels commonly appear after warm, moist spring weather with daytime temperatures in the low 70s and nighttime temperatures in the 50s.

• South and west facing slopes are good sites to look for morels early in the season, with north and east slopes being better for later-season morel hunting.

• Morels tend to favor tree species such as elms, ashes, cottonwoods, and even domesticated apples. Look around recently dead trees but beware of falling branches.

• Areas disturbed by flooding, fire, or logging often produce (continued on page 10)

Getting to and from Gallatin using West Grand Street (old Hwy 6) just got a whole lot easier with new asphalt paving laid this week. The City of Gallatin contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons for the milling and paving of West Grand from Market Street at the town square to Ash Street for $149,895.50.

The show must go on…

GTL funding efforts underway

The Gallatin Theatre League, coming off of a year of shutdown, has big plans for 2021 to bring theater performances to you. Tickets for the spring play are now on sale at Eileine’s Beauty Shop.

2021 at Courter Theater • April 22-24: “Independence Day at Happy Meadows” • May 8: a comedic performance to help spread awareness of veteran suicide • May 10-12: High School Choir • May 21-22: Dance Academy Spring Recital • Summer movies for kids (no Missoula Children’s Theater this year due to COVID) • Chautauqua performance • Nov. 17-19: Fall Play yet to be determined While the theater was dark in 2020, the league made several improvements to the building, including a new air conditioning system and new thermostats. Another project undertaken was a lobby remodel, with the old ticket booth was removed to expand the common area. Signage on the front of the building has also been improved.

Unfortunately, some major improvements still need to be made and at no small cost. During this past winter, some roof leaks developed. A new roof is needed, at an estimated cost of $21,000. The theatre league is also planning to add new lighting to enhance and light up the new signs as well as replacement of the upstairs windows.

Each of these projects will run $5,300.

GTL is seeking donations to help cover the cost of these improvements. Send your contributions to Gallatin Theater League, PO Box 188, Gallatin, MO 64640.

Writing when blank

Sometimes, when it’s time to write this column, the page looks massively blank. Nothing jump starts any thought process; the coffee goes cold. These are times that try an editor’s soul ...assuming, of course. What to write... what to write... what to write?!

A reader from Chillicothe once tried to help. He mailed a clipping from a 1931 newspaper which described how his dad who lived near Carlow, Uel Offield, walked 9-1/2 miles to school when a snow was at its worst. Funny, the generation which never thought anything of walking 10 miles a day (even in the snow) now have grandchildren who never think of it either. But it’s spring; winter snows, I hope, are behind us.

What to write... what to write...

Other visits this past week brought details about our nation’s involvement in the

by Darryl Wilkinson United Nations, the legality of lease-purchase, and the latest on Vietnam documentation -- all intended to spark deep contemplations. But these seem so overwhelming to a country editor of limited capacities, especially one as blank as me. How can I possibly attempt such challenges.

How depressing! It’s not only “what” but how to write... how to write... how to write...?

Well, as a better sage than I once wrote, “Let’s see what several years in the word game have learnt me:” -- Avoid alliteration. Always.

-- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

-- Avoid cliches like the plague (they’re old hat).

-- Employ the vernacular -- Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

-- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are always unnecessary.

-- It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

-- Contractions aren’t necessary.

-- Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.

-- One should never generalize.

-- Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”

-- Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

-- Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.

-- Profanity sucks.

-- Be more or less specific.

-- Understatement is always best.

-- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement, to say the least.

-- One-word sentences? Eliminate.

-- Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

-- The passive voice is to be avoided.

-- Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

-- Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

Hey, now I’m ready, ready to write about whatever you want!

The coffee’s reheated and my juices are flowing. Just give me a topic, any topic. I’ve got the paper and the press to print it on.

Just give me an idea.

Who needs rhetorical questions?

Off the Editor’s Spike...

Medicaid expansion and budget

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Several years ago, I walked into a fellow legislator’s office to ask her a question, and on her desk I saw a four-feet tall stack of about 20-30 books. When I asked what the books were for, she said, “I’m on the Budget Committee, and that’s the budget.”

There is no committee assignment that is as time-intensive as serving on Budget. In numerous daily meetings, that committee pours over the budget, book by book, page by page, line by line to decide how to best spend your tax money.

This week was budget week in the Missouri House. When the House debates and passes the budget, we actually pass about 20 different bills.

Each bill decides how much money each department can spend and how they can spend it.

When I arrived in the legisla-

ture in 2015, the Missouri Budget was about $26 billion. Now in 2021, our budget has grown to about $32 billion.

We instituted an income tax cut in 2018, so it shows reducing taxes can spur economic growth.

The largest portion of this year’s budget is social services (Medicaid / Welfare) (46%), closely followed by K-12 education (25%).

The largest argument on the budget was about Medicaid Expansion funding.

The Medicaid program provides free health care for those who are not self-sufficient enough to take care of themselves – the elderly, sick children, and the handicapped. Medicaid Expansion would add in ablebodied people based on income as a component of Obamacare.

While Medicaid Expansion passed in last year’s election, there was no way to fund it in the

ballot measure, so there were strong concerns that starting Medicaid Expansion would lead to a budget crisis for the traditional Medicaid population and in other areas.

Instead, the Budget Committee offered HB21, which provides additional funding for the truly needy – nursing homes, inhome care providers, schools, and the developmentally disabled.

Incidentally, Medicaid Expansion only passed in seven of our state’s 114 counties. The other 107 counties soundly rejected it, including all counties in NW Missouri.

The seven that passed it were our most urban and highly populated areas that tend to like big government programs, and are the most heavily influenced by the money and power of the health care industry.

How Missouri controls legislative filibusters The debate about changing U.S. Senate filibuster rules demonstrates how different that chamber is from Missouri’s Senate. Missouri Senate rules make it more difficult to kill a bill by a filibuster.

Unlike the U.S. Senate, a filibustering Missouri senator must maintain the floor, although the floor can be yielded to a colleague to grab a meal or take a nap. Without support from colleagues, a one-senator filibuster is doomed.

That was demonstrated in 2007 when Sen. Matt Bartle (R-Jackson

by Phill County) launched a one-person Brooks filibuster to block confirmation of a University of Missouri curator nominee who supported embryonic stem cell research.

With no support from fellow Republicans, Bartle stood alone for 17 hours before abandoning his futile effort against the Republican governor’s nominee.

Another major difference is that unlike the super-majority vote required in the U.S. Senate to stop a filibuster, it takes just a majority of Missouri Senators. You know a filibuster will end when a majority party leader walks around the chamber showing minority party members the written motion to shut off debate signed by majority party members.

Many Missouri filibusters are not designed to kill a specific bill before the chamber. Some are launched to force a compromise or to demonstrate to special interests that opponents really tried to block the vote.

For a while after Republicans gained control of the Senate, some Democrats would filibuster simply to slow down the process to run out time for the pile of Republican bills awaiting a vote before the session’s mandatory adjournment.

Sen. Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis) confessed to me she had launched a filibuster against a colleague’s bill just to get even about something unrelated to the bill

before the chamber. Years earlier, senators like Richard the Senate. But it turned out to be a filibuster attacking Webster (R-Carthage) and Danny Staples (D-Eminence) Democrat Gov.

Help for Vietnam vets

by Congressman Sam Graves

On March 29, 1973, the last US combat troops left Vietnam, ending eight years of direct intervention in the war and decades of American involvement in the conflict. All told, the conflict cost more than 58,000 American lives, and tens of thousands more returned home scarred, wounded, and weary after fighting bloody battles in a country most had never heard of before the war.

Unlike their parent’s generation, who returned home to much fanfare and celebration in 1945, veterans of the Vietnam War returned home to an ungrateful nation, met with protests and insults. In the decades since, the vitriol and hatred of those that served our country honorably and with distinction has faded, but many challenges remain.

Veterans of the War in Vietnam have faced incomprehensible difficulties in getting the benefits they deserve through the Department of Veterans Affairs — particularly for health problems caused by exposure to Agent Orange. It took nearly 20 years for Congress to mandate that the VA presume that certain diseases caused by Agent Or-

C

ange exposure were service-connected and it was just two years ago that Congress expanded that to include veterans who served in the Blue Water Navy off the coast of Vietnam.

These bills were important steps toward getting our Vietnam War veterans the benefits they earned, and they deserve, but that battle is not yet over for many of our veterans. Many still F struggle to get the benefits they SES O P M I L were promised, G particularly from the VA. I want to take this time to make one thing abundantly clear — if you’re a veteran having difficulty getting the benefits you earned, my office is here to help.

It doesn’t matter when or where you served or what federal agency you’re having trouble with, we’ll do everything we can to get you what you need and deserve.

Forty-eight years on, it’s long past time we made things right for the men and women who served in Vietnam. We should remember their courage in service to our nation. We should thank them for their sacrifices. And, perhaps most importantly, we should live up to the promises our country made to them.

offee Shop Talk

by Mandi Bird, Daviess County FSA Executive Director

We finished off March with 2.88 inches of rain compared to a normal 2.47. The pastures are greening up after the rains and warmer weather and everyone is itching to begin spring planting.

Probably the biggest topic in the coffee shop is the recent announcement of the USDA Pandemic Assistance for Producers which will reopen the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2) on April 5.

The announcement also includes additional payments for cattle producers who applied for CFAP 1. Producers will receive additional payments beginning on April 5 based on the number of cattle they certified in inventory between 4/16/2020 and 5/14/2020.

The following payment rates will be used: Eligible Category

Payment Rate

Feeder Cattle: Less than 600 Pounds Feeder Cattle: 600 Pounds or More Slaughter Cattle: Fed Cattle (Fats) Slaughter Cattle: Mature Cattle (Culls) All Other Cattle

$ 7.00/hd $25.50/hd $63.00/hd $14.75/hd $17.25/hd

Only producers who previously applied for CFAP-1 are eligible to receive these additional cattle payments.

Row crop producers with approved CFAP-2 applications will automatically receive additional payments as well, beginning on April 1. The additional row crop payments are based on the number of acres of eligible crops that was certified by the producer.

The additional payment is $20 per acre and includes acreages of the following crops: corn, soybeans, alfalfa, millet, oats, sorghum, triticale, wheat, and other crops not commonly grown in our area.

If you applied for either of the programs last year, the payments will be automatic, and you will not have to file a new application.

The General CRP signup that was previously slated to close in February has been extended.

We will continue to accept offers while USDA evaluates ways to increase enrollment.

Before the General CRP signup period ends, producers will have the opportunity to adjust or resubmit their offers to take

advantage of potential improvements to the program. Many producers are also seeding newly enrolled CRP acres.

Producers with CRP contracts nearing expiration should consider the Transition Incentives Program (TIP). CRP contract holders who are in the final two years of their contract can transition their CRP acres to a beginning farmer (who is not a family member) and receive their CRP payment for an additional 2-years beyond the contract expiration.

The TIP application must be submitted prior to completing the lease or sale of the affected lands. New landowners or renters that return the land to production must work with NRCS and use sustainable grazing or farming methods.

The Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program provides low-interest financing to help you build or upgrade storage facilities and to purchase portable (new or used) structures, equipment and storage and handling trucks.

Eligible commodities include corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, wheat, barley, and hay. Qualified facilities include grain bins, hay barns and cold storage facilities for eligible commodities.

Loans up to $100,000 can be secured by a promissory note/ security agreement, while loans exceeding $100,000 require additional security. You do not need to demonstrate the lack of commercial credit availability to apply.

The loans are designed to assist a diverse range of farming operations, including small and mid-sized businesses, new farmers, operations supplying local food and farmers markets, nontraditional farm products, and underserved producers.

Annual installments are made and low interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan and can range from 3-12 years. Any 7 year loans approved in April would be fixed at 1.25%.

May the bell ever toll

Gallatin Rotary Club played a key role in relocating the school bell from Gallatin’s first school building to the GHS Athletic Field, rung to celebrate Bulldog touchdowns today. Rotarians executed a plan suggested by Earl C. Binney and supported by many.

Among those shown here before an Air Force helicopter carried thethe bellarchives of the From to the new football field compiled in 1974 are

DAVIESS COUNTY On Fi lm

These are the hallways of Gallatin High School when the school grounds were located three blocks west of the courthouse. The left hallway photo (circa 1960) is of the first floor; entry doors facing West Grand Street are in the background of the photo at right snapped on Albert Gallatin Day in 1967. The school, built in 1910 shown below, no longer stands although a gymnasium addition built in 1938 is still in use today, most recently by WideBand.

The foundation for Gallatin’s second public school included stones from the town’s first school (below).

Altamont School (1915-1954) This photo (circa 1940) shows the second building for public education in Altamont. This brick building (with a heating system for the entire building in the basement) was built in 1915. It featured four large classrooms and a superintendent’s office. When enrollments increased; another building known as the “bungalow” was built nearby for classes. After Rosendale and Hopkins schools merged with Altamont; the school became known as Altamont Consolidated District #5.

The first graduating class completing four years of high school here was in 1923. High school classes were discontinued here during World War II; with students attending either Gallatin or Winston. In 1954 Altamont school annexed into Gallatin. This building was sold in 1958 and later razed. (photo courtesy Class of 1928)

Gallatin’s first public school was completed in 1872 at a cost of $12,500 (without furniture). This building housed four departments: elementary and primary, high school and grammar under the direction of a principal and three other teachers. (photo circa 1907)

Gallatin’s Wilburforce School for African Americans (1866-1957) In November of 1866, Gallatin School District officials believed black students would do better educationally if they had their own school. In 1870, there were 96 black children attending Daviess County schools: 50 in the Gallatin district and 46 black children were scattered over 13 townships. By 1871 African Americans here kept their school open by donations. In 1874 there were 66 children attending Wilburforce School located in the northwest part of Gallatin. In 1898 Wilburforce surpassed the Gallatin school with three students graduating while the Gallatin school graduated only one student. A large audience of Gallatin citizens filled the Arbelia Opera House on the west side of the business square to witness this graduation.

One portion of the program was furnished by the Wilburforce orchestra.

The school was active in 1933 when three students graduated from its eighth grade class. Wilburforce School operated until the 1956-57 school term when integration became a factor and black elementary students advanced to attend the Gallatin High School. After 1957, all students attended Gallatin elementary and high school. In later years, the Wilburforce building was torn down and its lumber was salvaged for other use.

Missouri bill would intercept stimulus checks headed for prisoners A proposed bill in the Missouri Senate would have the Missouri Department of Corrections seize stimulus checks from prisoners who owe restitution.

The proposal, sponsored by State Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer (R-Parkville) would force the Department of Corrections to pay prisoners’ court-ordered restitution from any stimulus funds they may receive.

“You know, these stimulus checks were intended to go to people who were struggling, who had lost their jobs, who

were facing economic devastation from the pandemic,” Sen. Luetkemeyer says. “I hope the intent of Congress (wasn’t) to have prisoners who raped and murdered someone to receive these checks.”

Sen. Luetkemeyer’s proposal doesn’t limit the seizures to violent crimes, and it’s silent on what the Department of Corrections would do with any excess funds. Presumably they’d be returned to the prisoner, but that isn’t codified in the law. “(Congress) did not write the

City of Coffey targets spring cleanup The Coffey town council slated May 6 as “Spring Cleanup Day” in Coffey during public board meeting held March 20.

In other business, public readings of Bill #2021-1 amending Sections 2 of Ordinance #2012-01 (Schedule of Fees) to revise additional late fee and related matters were made by Mayor Ralph Ray and approved by council vote.

Water Operator Steve Henderson reported Harrison County Public Water Supply District #2 will be putting in a new meter at the pump house.

After the installation of the new meter is completed, Mr. Henderson will flush out the water lines.

Mayor Ray reported receipt of a large quantity of mortar mix, some of which will be used to begin tuck pointing on city hall. Mr. Henderson reported no sewer issues detected; the council discussed sewer shut offs and the issue was tabled.

Utility fees were reviewed, and the board voted to change the security deposit rates for utilities to $321.75 for owner or renter/rent-to-own.

The contract expiration date of June 30 with Rapid Removal was discussed. The clerk was instructed to advertise for trash removal bids.

After discussion of Intuit Quickbooks, the board voted to accept the renewal quote from Intuit Quickbooks for payroll and annual subscription fee.

The board also voted to accept

the renewal quote from Missouri Employers Mutual for workmen’s compensation and employer’s liability.

The financial statement was reviewed and accepted by board vote. The council voted to approve the non-regular bills, and regular monthly bills were reviewed. Reimbursement into the petty cash fund was approved.

It was noted that an Easter egg hunt on April 3 would be held in Coffey’s park.

This report is based on the minutes of a 65-minute public meeting of the Coffey council held March 20. Council members present were Mayor Ralph Ray; Alderpersons Beverly Hunter, Carolyn Griffin and John McKinney. Also present were City Clerk Tammy de Jong and Water Operator Steve Henderson.

The next regular meeting of Coffey’s town council will be 10 a.m. on April 17.

bill in a way that would prohibit stimulus checks from going to prisoners,” Sen. Luetkemeyer said. “I think it’s fundamentally unfair, you know, for taxpayer dollars to be going to violent criminals. If it’s being given out at all, let’s make sure it’s going to victims where it’s much needed.”

Alongside a prison sentence, judges may order an offender to pay restitution. Sen. Luetkemeyer’s bill only applies to criminal cases, not civil ones.

The text of the bill hasn’t been released, though Sen. Luetkemeyer offers to explain its content.

Many Americans received their latest stimulus dollars through direct deposit, which is likely outside of the department of corrections’ control. Luetkemeyer’s bill would have officials intercept checks sent by the Internal Revenue Service directly to prison institutions.

The Department of Corrections has ultimate control over the “inmate canteen,” a quasibank account that allows family members to deposit money that inmates can use inside the prison system

Americans who made less than $75,000 annually were eligible for a one-time payment of $1,400 under the American Rescue Plan. However, no Republican members of Congress voted for the bill, in part, many said, because the money wasn’t targeted enough to Americans who actually need it.

“Congress should have had much more targeted stimulus dollars,” Sen. Luetkemeyer says. “They should have made sure that stimulus dollars were going to people who actually needed the money, not just to everybody and certainly not to prisoners.”

The bill would need to pass both the Missouri House and Senate before becoming law if signed by Gov. Mike Parson. The bill originates in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Sen. Luetkemeyer chairs, giving the proposal’s chances a leg up.

The state of emergency extension will allow the state continued flexibility in providing resources and easing regulatory burdens to further assist Missouri’s COVID-19 recovery efforts. This also allows for continued utilization of the Missouri National Guard and federal funding for COVID-19 response efforts.

Governor Parson initially declared a state of emergency on March 13, 2020, with the signing of Executive Order 20-02. Since that time, nearly 600 state statutes and regulations have been waived or suspended to increase efficiency and effectiveness in responding to COVID-19.

Executive Order 21-07 keeps many of the previous measures in place, including those related to telemedicine, motor carrier limitations, the sale of unprepared foods by restaurants, and remote notary access for certain legal documents such as estate planning.

Over 200 waivers are currently in the rescission process as the state continues to recover and the need for certain waivers diminishes. However, the Governor’s Office will continue to work with state agencies to 5.25 oz identify regulations that can be permanently eliminated or streamlined moving forward.

Write-in election clarification In last week’s issue there were two write-in election situations which need clarification.

There is a difference between declared write-in candidates and certified write-in candidates. Declared write-in candidates do not necessarily file or inform the county clerk of their intention, but rather publicize their candidacy through newspaper ads, social media and word of mouth.

Certified write-in candidates file their intent to be in contention for the position with the county clerk and may also pursue other means to publicize their desire to be elected to the position.

When no candidates file with the county clerk to be listed on the ballot for a position, every write-in vote is counted, regardless of whether the candidates have filed with the county clerk. In the race for east ward alderman in Gallatin, with no candidates listed on the ballot, there was a declared write-in candidate for the position. In this situation, any and all write-in votes are to be counted.

In another City of Gallatin race, west ward alderman, two candidates were already on the ballot running for the position.

In addition, a certified write-in candidate filed with the county clerk. In this situation, the two candidates listed on the ballot and the certified write-in candidate are the only candidates who can receive votes.

We apologize for any confusion.

DDCRJ holds discussion on municipalities Municipal warrants were discussed at the March 26 meeting of the Daviess/Dekalb County Regional Jail board held at Pattonsburg. Discussion focused on municipalities picking up individuals with warrants or on city charges. When arrests involve an active warrant, the county receives the bill.

DeKalb County Sheriff Kasey Keesaman reported that he had been approached by local ministers about doing some kind of services for the detainees.

Following a closed session, board members voted to select Ed Proctor to assist in the review and modification of the current bylaws. The closed session lasted 25 minutes. A special meeting will be scheduled at a later date.

Bicentennial Service Challenge underway

The Missouri Community Service Commission (MCSC) announces the Bicentennial Community Service Challenge.

The Challenge encourages Missourians to volunteer for 200 hours this year in honor of the state’s 200th year of statehood.

Those who complete the Challenge will receive a certificate for their service during Missouri’s bicentennial year.

According to AmeriCorps,

more than 1.5 million Missourians volunteer each year, totaling more than 130 million hours of service. These hours are estimated to be worth billions of dollars in value for Missouri communities. Service projects can range from tutoring to disaster relief and more.

Details on the challenge, including service opportunities, are available at ShowMeService.org.

Debit card stolen from residence A debit card which was taken from a Gallatin residence was used to withdraw money at two Gallatin businesses and from an Independence bank.

According to court documents, a Gallatin woman reported the card stolen on March 7. She believed William Perkins had taken the card as he had recently been at her house. Three fraudulent transactions were on her bank report, totaling $903.

In video footage from the two Gallatin businesses, at times corresponding to the fraudulent transactions, Perkins was

observed making withdrawals from the ATM machine.

Perkins has a revoked driver’s license and a past relationship with the victim, as well as a history of resisting arrest and multiple drug convictions. He is currently on probation out of District 24-Independence, for tampering with motor vehicle and no valid license.

Perkins, 51, McFall, was arrested March 31 and taken to Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail for fraudulent use of credit/debit device. Bond was set at $2,000 cash only.

Time for morels! (continued from page 1) loads of morels.

• Morels peak when lilacs bloom!

• Most public lands in Missouri allow the collecting of mushrooms for personal use, but always check the regulations before you collect to be sure.

Remember, these are just general guidelines – morels have been found growing in all sorts of locations and conditions!

Before setting off into the forest, make sure you know how to correctly identify morels. Misidentifying and consuming toxic mushrooms can cause anything

from mild stomach issues to organ failure or even death!

There are several mushroom species in Missouri, including the big red false morel, which are considered toxic and not recommended for consumption.

Consult with field guides or a professional mycologist to be completely confident in species identification before consuming any mushrooms.

Browse the Missouri Department of Conservcation’s mushroom field guide for photos of the more common and noticeable fungal species in Missouri.
