This Mother’s Day Greeting cards and ﬂower shops paint perfect pictures of Mother’s Day. Hopefully you’ll take time for dear ol’ mom

this Sunday and create more good memories. Some of us, of course, will be thinking “If only I still had her today…” or perhaps think on those things you wish you had done or should have differently. Real life things aren’t guaranteed to be all about happy. Sadly, over 200,000 women are in prison or jail in the United States today. Eighty percent of these women have minor children. Mother’s Day is a painful day for these women and their families. Millions of children live Off the Editor’s Spike... with parents who are addicted to alcohol or drugs or both. These children are raised in sad environments where they have had to emotionally and often even financially help their parents. Often, these by Darryl Wilkinson daily struggles make it difficult to celebrate the “picture perfect” day. They may go to buy a Mother’s Day card but just cannot find one that really expresses how they feel. Many children have been raised in painful, abusive environments and Mother’s Day is depressing because they can’t conjure up that many good memories of mom. Many of these children want mom to be well and healthy. They want to know that they are loved by mom. Unfortunately, there are so many adults who have mothers who could never turn their lives around. They are often exhausted from trying to make “Mom and family” work. But, even when facing these tough realities, take heart. Mother’s Day is our opportunity to try to do the right things again. Using words like, “I care, love, appreciate, thank you and any that express your heart’s desire to be connected are worthwhile expressions. When you do the best you can do, you can at least look back and know that you tried. If you’re so blessed that a card, some flowers, or a special dinner celebrating your mom seems just right, then do all you can to make more good memories. When Mom and our loved ones are no longer with us then that’s all we’ll really have -- our memories. So today, right now, there’s time left to work on your Mother’s Day memories, the kind you won’t regret in the years to come. A mother’s love is not so complicated, you know. I like this list once penned by Bryan Golden in his book entitled “Dare to Live Without Limits” which offers a list motherly advise, a reminder of the Godly person all young mothers should strive to be. Mother’s Day is a great time to review the following advice I hope you received from mom when you were a kid. You can be whatever you want to be. You have no limitations. The whole world is open to you. Your future is ahead of you. You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. It’s ok to dream. Be nice to your friends and they will be nice to you. People respond to the way you treat them. If you are mean and selfish, no one will want to play with you. Share your toys and don’t be a bully. Be considerate of the feelings of others. Do your homework and you will get good grades. Success takes work. If you don’t put in the effort, you won’t reap the rewards. Those who work hard will succeed. Clean your room now. Get things done today and you won’t have to worry about them. If you let things pile up, it will be difficult to catch up. You can play once your chores are done. Get your work done before you take a break. Then you can relax and have a good time. Stay in school. If you don’t get an education, your opportunities will be limited. Don’t drop out of school. The more you learn, the more you benefit. Sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt you. It doesn’t matter what other people say. Don’t allow others to upset you. There will always be mean people. Don’t pay attention to them. Don’t waste your time. Time goes by very fast. Don’t wait to pursue your dreams. Be thankful for what you have. There are many who are not as fortunate as you. Be grateful for your home and family. It doesn’t matter what someone else has. Don’t complain. Whining is annoying. If you have something to say, say it. If you complain all the time, no one will want to listen to you.

Anti-Spooﬁng Act needed

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Members of the Missouri House took action this week to protect vulnerable Missourians from predatory callers who hid their identities. The bill House Bill 242 would establish the “Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act.” Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to caller ID display to disguise their identity. Scammers often use neighbor spoofing so it appears that an incoming call is coming from a local number, or spoof a number from a company or a government agency the individual they are calling may already know and trust. Spoofers use scam scripts to try to steal money or valuable

personal information, which can be used in fraudulent activity. “It’s the vulnerable adults who I am worried about more than anything else. They think they get a phone call from maybe their son, and it’s not, and they pick up and they go down some kind of tale of misfortune and then try to get some personal information from them and all of a sudden it leads into some financial information, or dollars being sent to these people,” said the bill’s sponsor. The bill would create the offense of caller identification spoofing. An individual commits the offense of caller identification spoofing if he or she enters or causes to be entered false information into a caller ID ser-

vice with the intent to deceive, defraud, or mislead the recipient of the call to obtain anything of value. It would also be a crime if the person places a call knowing that false information was entered into a caller ID service with the intent to deceive, defraud, or mislead the recipient of the call. The offense is a class E felony. Any victim of call spooﬁng would have standing to recover punitive damages against the caller in an amount up to $5,000 per call. Additionally, the Attorney General would be empowered to initiate legal proceedings or intervene in legal proceedings on behalf of victims. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

No to expanding the Supreme Court by U.S. Senator Roy Blunt

In 1937, after a series of rulings undercutting his New Deal legislation, President Franklin Roosevelt proposed expanding the Supreme Court to as many as 15 justices. His attempt to use brute political force to seize control of the Supreme Court was – and still is – widely criticized. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself said, “I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.” She added: “Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a long time.” Expanding the Supreme Court was a bad idea then, and it’s a bad idea now. Yet, that’s exactly what Democrats in Washington are trying to do. Recently, congressional Democrats introduced legislation to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 13. This legislation came shortly after President Joe Biden signed an executive order establishing a 36-member commission to investigate and analyze the work of the Supreme Court, with speciﬁc orders to consider expanding the court and eliminating lifetime appointments. An executive branch commission that investigates and analyzes the work of the Supreme Court is dangerous. It challenges the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches, and it puts the court in a much more partisan and political place than it should be. Justice Stephen Breyer, who was nominated by President

Clinton, recently said that the court’s authority depends on “a trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics.” He noted that “structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust.” Packing the court to further one party’s agenda sets a dangerous precedent. If every new administration decides it can just pack the court, it may eventually be as big as the Biden administration’s 36-member commission or even the United States Senate. Though the Constitution does not mandate a specific number of justices, the Supreme Court has had nine since 1869. Expanding the court would upend more than 150 years of history, and even the threat of this massive change may be enough to influence the courts. The Supreme Court

stands as a nonpartisan arbiter of constitutional questions -- calling balls and strikes as it sees them. While I have not always agreed with the court’s decisions, I appreciate the important role it plays in safeguarding our system of government and protecting individual rights. With Democrats in control of the White House and Congress, they are in a strong position to negotiate their legislative priorities. But they need to be very careful when they start taking wrecking balls to vital American institutions for short-term partisan gain. I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will drop their effort to pack the court and will shift their focus to the issues families care about most, like getting our economy back on track, strengthening the workforce, and more.

A possible tax increase brewing in this legislative session One of the fascinating issues for the 2021 legislative session has been the idea of a tax increase. You would think such an idea would be dead on arrival in a Republican-controlled legislature. But the issue is far more complicated. Essentially, it’s a proposal to impose a sales tax on your online purchases from merchants with no physical presence in Missouri, and thus -- with some exceptions -- not subject to state or local sales taxes. Since 1967 and confirmed in 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a state cannot impose a tax on sales from a merchant located in another state. Ironically, the first case involved an effort by Illinois to collect sales taxes from a small mailorder business in Missouri. By 2017, the congressional Government Accounting Office estimated that tax prohibition had cost states, collectively, $13 billion in lost tax revenue. Supreme Court cases have cited even higher figures. For several years, to get around that restriction, a multi-state compact was developed by which a merchant would be taxed on sales to another state. The merchant’s state then would remit those taxes to the state where the purchase was sent,

but only if the receiving state was part of the compact. But it was a complicated system requiring a degree of conformity in taxing among the compact states. Ultimately, less than half of the nation’s states joined the “Streamlined Sales Tax” compact. Missouri never did, despite numerous bills to join the compact. by Phill Also not joining the Brooks compact was Illinois, the state whose efforts to tax a Missouri business for sales to Illinois residents led to the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision. However, in 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court substantially changed the game with a narrow, 5-4 decision that overturned that 1967 decision. In South Dakota v. Wayfair, the court held the state could impose a sales tax on a merchant from another state if that merchant has a signiﬁcant level of sales in the state -- more than 200 transactions or $200,000 or more in sales in a year. It also opened the door to impose state sales taxes on what are termed “market place facilitators” which handle sales by a variety of small businesses to other states

-- if the quantity or amount of sales to a state by the facilitator meets the Wayfair decision requirements. Although many states quickly took advantage of the Wayfair decision to increase state revenues, implementation stalled in the Republican-controlled Missouri legislature. Missouri now is the only state without a law to fully tax out-of-state online sales. But COVID-19 has made the issue more pressing for Missouri legislators. Lawmakers of both parties argued that with consumers reluctant to shop at brickand mortar stores because of the disease, more Missourians are learning there’s a sales-tax cost advantage to shopping online. This year, at a news conference after his inauguration, Republican Gov. Mike Parson voiced support for the idea with an indirect reference to COVID-19. “We did have a lot of people staying at home and how much of a disadvantage it was to local Missouri businesses. And we’ve got to be able to ﬁnd solutions to that.”

C Capitol apitol P Perspectives erspectives

The ﬁnancial gain for state government from taxing these online sales is enormous. Missouri legislative staff estimate the idea, when fully implemented, could generate nearly $200 million per year for various state funds when fully implemented. But a major controversy has been what to do with that extra state tax money. Parson has proposed putting a lot of the money into a cash reserve fund that he could allocate during times of emergencies or budget stress. Some Republican legislators have proposed using the extra money for state income tax cuts for Missourians that could exceed the gains from the Wayfair tax. Another issue has been how to include in the Wayfair tax process the variety of different local sales tax rates that require local voter approval. Editor’s note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Journalism. He has covered every governor since the late Warren Hearnes.

Biden’s plan by Congressman Sam Graves

President Biden finally addressed a Joint Session of Congress this week. While we can sit here and debate what the President could’ve said and what he should’ve said all day, it isn’t going to change what he did say. And, it isn’t going to change what happens tomorrow. President Biden failed to lay out a clear vision on how to move America forward. He didn’t offer any actual solutions to get Americans back to work and get our country back on track. Heck, he didn’t even offer a plan to end the humanitarian and national security crisis he let spiral out of control at the border. Instead, he spent roughly an hour talking about how he wants to spend $6 trillion of your money to grow the federal government. That’s the plan — spend more money we don’t have. That’s the last thing we need right now. What we do need is real leadership — the kind President Biden promised us on day one of his administration. We need more than empty platitudes about bipartisanship, we need real tangible action. There’s no better place for the President to start than with infrastructure. It’s an issue where I think we can find common ground. Both parties agree we need to fix America’s highways, waterways, bridges, ports and improve our rural broadband infrastructure. Roads, rivers, rail, routers …that’s infrastructure. It’s also clear that we can’t afford a bunch of wasteful spending right now. American businesses, American workers, and American families are still suffering. We shouldn’t be talking about an infrastructure bill that spends almost twice as much on building electric car charging stations as it does on fixing roads and bridges. We should be talking about targeted investments, cutting red tape, and finding common ground on how we can fix our infrastructure without breaking the bank. We can’t afford to mortgage our children’s and grandchildren’s future to foot the bill. Make no mistake, there’s plenty of common ground to be found. With just a little common sense, we can find it. I just hope the President is willing to seek it.

The Journalist’s Creed was written by the ﬁrst dean of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Walter Williams. Over a century later, his declaration remains one of the clearest statements of the principles, values and standards of journalists throughout the world. Walter Williams

I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust.

The Journalist’s Creed

I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism. I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.

I believe in the profession of

I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible. I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends. I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good jroualism is the measure of its public service. I believe that the journalism which succeeds best -- and best deserves success -- fears God and honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promotiong international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a journalism of humanity, of and for today’s world.

“A Mother’s Love” Helen Steiner Rice A Mother’s love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may, For nothing can destroy it or take that love away, It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking, It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems, It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation, A many splendored miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.

Last week I planted flower bulbs. It was late afternoon when I finished. The sun, which shined all day, was gone when I put the garden tools away. Early the next morning, I checked the flower beds to see if anything had come up. Of course, nothing appeared; it was way too soon. Still, I have checked every day since. Some days I have checked more than once.h I am confident the bulbs I planted will come up. They are elephant ear bulbs and cannot survive our winter cold. I've planted and dug them each year more than twenty times. Four times I moved them across the state. They have always come up, and I believe they will do so again. I cannot see them growing, but I am certain they are. Still, even as I write, I want to go out and check the beds again. It is a bright Dr. H. Wade Paris sunny day; doing so will be pleasant. Jesus told a similar story. A man cast seed into the ground, then slept and rose night and day checking to see if it had sprung up (Mark 4:26ff). In time the earth brings forth fruit, and the man does not know how. Until then, he must wait. Jesus' story is about faith, about His Kingdom. Our world is in turmoil. Some days we wonder about God's promises. With this parable, Jesus tells us not to worry. We may not be able to see it, but He is at work in the world. The Kingdom of God is here. I have a long prayer list. Beside some prayers I have written, “Lord, I am not going to ask you about this anymore. I can't see your answer, but I trust you are working on it. I won't keep bothering you.” Then, despite my best intention, I bring it up again. My faith is too small. Regarding one of the prayers I promised not to mention again, I recently saw a hint of an answer. It is like a tiny seed pushing upward. I think I see a little bit of green. I just got back from checking the flower beds again. Still too early, but while I was checking, I told God I was sorry to be such a bother. He said, “No bother!” God is good!

FFA Convention The hands-on portion of the event is combined with an intensive written examination. This contest was sponsored by University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. 2nd place award for Dowell Lane Dowell of the Gallatin FFA Chapter received the second-place Missouri FFA Specialty Crop Production Proficiency Award at the convention. Proficiency awards recognize FFA members who excel as agricultural entrepreneurs, employees or volunteers while gaining hands-on career experience. Specialty crop production is one of 46 proficiency award areas recognized at the state level. Stoddard County Seed and Feed sponsored this award. Eads 2nd in public speaking Hailey Eads of the Jamesport FFA Chapter placed second in the Division II prepared public speaking leadership development event at the convention. Sixteen students from six districts were selected to compete at the state level. Eads’ FFA advisor is Loren Meservey. MFA Inc. sponsors the competition, which requires contestants to deliver a three- to four-minute speech based on an agriculture topic they have selected and researched.

Help Rotary collect 20,000 pairs of shoes! Over the next three weeks, members of Rotary clubs in District 6040 will work to collect 20,000 pairs of new shoes as part of their annual effort – a number selected to represent the 20th anniversary of the collection drive. District 6040, which is composed of Rotary clubs in northern Missouri, has collected 355,885 pairs of shoes over 19 years. The shoes are shipped to nonprofit program Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls, where they are sorted and sent to vulnerable children in countries like Kenya, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. The shoes are traditionally purchased entirely by the Rotary District 6040 clubs, but this year, the clubs are calling upon the public to help them reach their goal of 20,000 pairs. Donations to purchase new shoes may be made at Buckner.org/ Rotary6040Gives. A highlight of the annual shoe collection is the Rotary shoe caravan, which features a truck and 53’-trailer traveling across the northern part of the state. This year, the caravan’s journey will visit every Rotary community in northern Missouri: 44 stops in two legs reaching the district’s 56 clubs. From May 13-15, the caravan will stop at Cameron, Gallatin, Bethany, Albany, Maryville, Tarkio, Rock Port, Savannah,

Kansas driver flees to woods after hitting MoDOT truck An Overland Park, KS, man was arrested April 27 after he struck a MoDOT truck with the 2018 Acura that he was driving on southbound I-35 at the 64 mile marker. James Carpenter, 40, was taken to Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail for leaving scene of accident, resisting/interfering with arrest for felony, and operating motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner involving an accident. Bond was denied. According to court documents, the Acura driven by Carpenter rear-ended a MoDOT truck, leaving the left side mangled and the axle and left wheel demolished. At the scene troopers were advised by a MoDOT worker that Carpenter had fled on foot into the woods west of the crash. A search was initiated without success. Later in the eve-

ning, law enforcement took Carpenter into custody after the Cameron CERT dog team flushed him from the woods following a short foot chase. Carpenter was taken into custody at 8:26 p.m. During processing the following morning, Carpenter stated that he regretted his decision to flee the scene and that he found many ticks after his time in the woods. Paperwork inside the vehicle revealed it was leased and being returned to Jay Wolfe Acura of Kansas City. The paperwork listed Carpenter as a dealer representative handling the lease exchange for a customer in West Des Moines, Iowa. The probable cause statement says a supervisor at Jay Wolfe Acura told law enforcement that Carpenter had called him, informed him the vehicle had been in an accident and told him a tow truck had been called.

Gallatin aldermen ponder options ...

Exceedingly high February bill must be paid City Administrator Lance Rains presented an Electric Department summary and analysis for discussion by aldermen at the April 26 public meeting held at city hall. The aldermen seek billing software to export February 2021 electric rate usage in order to calculate a percentage usage per each customer. This information will help the board decide the best option to recoup an exceedingly high February invoice issued by Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA) due to the extremely cold temperatures across the country. MPUA extended a credit (loan) of $179,717.81 for the excess billing and extended a payback period of 24 months. Currently, the City of Gallatin is paying $7,627.37 in excess each month for the repayment of the credit. Aldermen are reviewing options to ascertain the best approach to help collect additional funding to offset the $179,717.81 credit repayment owed to MPUA. In other business, the board voted to amend meeting minutes dated Aug. 10, 2020, stating that the City of Gallatin adopts the Daviess County Intergovernmental Agreement to participate in the 2020 CARES Act Funding program and appointing Mayor Barbara Ballew and/ or Administrator Lance Rains to sign the Agreement on the board’s behalf for the funding of Payment #1. Similarly, the aldermen voted to amend the Oct. 13, 2020, meeting minutes authorizing Payment #2 involving the 2020 CARES Act Funding program. Administrator Lance Rains will contact Farmers’ Electric to request a more detailed report of franchise tax amounts per quarter. The aldermen reviewed two letters submitted by a customer to remove utilities associated with a multi-purpose commercial building. After discussion the board denied the request and left the billing unchanged. City officials anticipate receiving a permit from the Department of Natural Resources by May 31 which will enable a bid

Toth & Associates expect to complete an electric rate study draft by this week. The draft will then be reviewed prior to being submitted to the city. The aldermen agreed to set a special meeting to review and discuss the recommended electric rate changes for customers. The 2400 electric system upgrade engineering evaluation is nearing completion and will be presented to the board once it is complete. Director of Public Works Mark Morey reported that installation of the base station for the new AMI metering system is expected to be completed by May 5. Bills totaling $240,393.64 were approved for payment. The aldermen also reviewed the O&M report issued for March by People Service. Two bids were received for the purchase of road oil. Aldermen voted to accept the bid from Vance Brothers at $2.15 per gallon. The other bid considered was from Costal Energy at $2.28 per gallon. Prior to the 6 p.m. public meeting, the aldermen toured the municipal water plant to review and discuss operational issues involving the aerator and lime sludge pipelines. Later during the regular meeting, Gallatin aldermen authorized Mayor Barb Ballew to sign a Release Agreement between the City of Gallatin and Snyder & Associates regarding the City of Gallatin Water Treatment Plant. The alderman also approved final payment of $15,000 to Ross Construction. Board members agreed to have the water plant sludge lines completed by current city employees along with a purchase of a tig-welder to complete repairs. Police Chief Mark Richards

provided an incident report dated April 26 as follows: 3 incidents of domestic disturbance, 3 medical emergency responses, 3 animal problems and 2 alarm responses. There were also single incidents involving a wanted person, theft, an agency assistance, a welfare check, an assault, a civil standby, an arrest warrant, a traffic accident with damages, a disorderly conduct, a citizen contact, an informational report, a circumstance of a suspicious person, a golf cart inspection, an animal noise problem, a property dispute and a motorist assist. Gallatin Police assisted with GHS Promenade activities held at the United Methodist Church. Chief Richards also noted that three dogs are currently impounded. The police chief also noted that a number of homeowners set out a large number of items for bulk pickup as residents attempted to clean up properties. The department will spend the next few weeks reviewing issues that have not yet been resolved. Rapid Service was commended on their efforts making pickups prompt. Aldermen agreed to erect a new sign at the city’s dump stating access hours. The aldermen also approved a request by the Friends of Gallatin-Daviess County Arts Council to place and fill large flower pots around the town square. Two readings by title of an ordinance authorizing the city to enter into a contract for mowing service at Dockery Park by Robbie and Rodell Sperry were conducted. This report of the April 26 public meeting is taken from the unapproved minutes. Those present were Mayor Barb Ballew, alderpersons Steve Evans, Dan Lockridge, Carl McBee, Dan McCann; administrator Lance Rains; clerk Hattie Rains; Public Works Director Mark Morey; Chief Richards and Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett.
