Sad news from city hall:

City utility rates must increase

Here’s a very long explanation of the sad plight of the Gallatin Electric Department. This explanation, thoughtfully and carefully prepared by Gallatin City Administrator Lance Rains, can be found in its entirety on the Gallatin Police Facebook page. The hard reality is that city utility rates must increase because the current rate is not supplying enough revenue to cover Electric Department expenses. The City of Gallatin is a member of the Missouri Public Utility Alliance, which is the organization that Gallatin purchases energy through, as well as the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission, to supply to the end customer in Gallatin. Gallatin purchases all of the power for its customers through a contractual agreement with MPUA/MJMEUC that was signed in 1981. Although Gallatin does have four diesel-ﬁred electric generators, it would be impractical and way more expensive to use these generators than to simply purchase power from MPUA/MJMEUC for $100,000 to $150,000 per month. If Gallatin were using the generators, the mere cost of the diesel (at $2.50 per gallon) would be over $2 million per month just in fuel costs. These generators haven’t been used to provide power in the past two decades, and the city has been trying without success to sell the engines to other countries for power generation.

Winter storm delivers a $179,000 ‘gut punch’

In February 2021, the polar vortex that engulfed the Midwest increased Gallatin’s electric bill from a normal monthly billing of around $150,000 up to $327.665.58 … a totally unexpected increase of $179,717.81. During the polar vortex, power generation became endangered because the infrastructure to produce energy failed. Electric plants had no fuel to make energy, windmills froze in place and solar panels were covered with snow and couldn’t produce any power. During that time, the City of Gallatin asked the public to conserve energy and the community listened. Gallatin did not have any rolling blackouts and the power grid continued to provide power to our customers. Then Gallatin got the invoice from MPUA/MJMEUC. While there is a federal and state investigation for price gouging against the natural gas and coal companies the city still has that debt responsibility to MPUA/MJMEUC. The total extra debt just for February 2021 is $179,717.81. That amount will have to be paid back to MPUA/MJMEUC in some manner. The council is looking at different options on that payback. It might not look like it but Gallatin was one of the lucky cities. Rains heard in a few meetings where communities went from a normal invoice of $500,000 to an invoice of $3,500,000.

Electric Department pays power for all other departments

The city council hired a third party electric engineering ﬁrm, Toth and Associates, to analyze the power usage of Gallatin. Using this report and in researching the rate adjustment, Administrator Rains found that the Electric Department has been paying for the power usage of the entire municipality, amounting to around $55,000 per year. The city is now making arrangements for each department (water, sewer, general, park and pool) to pay for its own energy usage in the future

Upgrade to save: Spending money will save money

Another electric engineering firm has been working on a report which will direct Gallatin on how to upgrade an 8-10 block area from a 2400 kV electric system to a 13.2 kV system. This is an upgrade that was originally started in the 1980s, but due to a problem with the contractors, the upgrade was never completed. The conversion is very important because the 2400 kV system provides less electric current. Higher current means lower voltage drop, fewer losses, and more power-carrying capability. The 2400 kV system is known as the “wild ground” system and is problematic for electricians if they aren’t used to such a system. The current loss of electricity for the entire system is 12.8% annually. This is energy purchased from MPUA/MJMEUC that is not accounted for by metering. The budget for Gallatin’s wholesale energy purchases in 2021 is $1,360,000. A 12.8% loss of that cost is $174,080. The 2400 conversion should reduce that 12.8% by a minimum of 3-4 percentage points to an acceptable loss amount. Gallatin is planning to use its own staff to perform most of the work, which will include seven new transformers, some new wire strung, grounding, some pole replacement, and other associated work. Finley Engineering is working on a strategy for the upgrade as well as a cost estimate. Rains is trying to fit this project into the American Recovery Plan (ARP) or what is commonly known as Round 2 of the COVID-19 Funds. The funding states that the grant funding must be used on infrastructure, defined as water, sewer, and broadband. Electricity isn’t part of the definition at this time but without electricity none of those utilities would operate. The city expects $322,177 from the ARP funding and it will be distributed by the state.

AMI System will lower operational cost

Gallatin is also working on the installation of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure System (AMI). This system will allow each meter to communicate with city hall in real time. That communication will include current time meter reading, leak alerts, heat alerts, more accurate readings, online ability to check usage by customer, and an easier way to pay online. That project has a price tag of approximately $370,000. Once installed, AMI means that city staff will not have to spend 10 days manually reading meters each month. The AMI should also reduce some of the 12.8% unmetered energy loss by ﬁnding and correcting some of the wiring issues of the past. The cost for the system will be split three ways since water meters will also be included. By decreasing exposure between customers and city staff, the AMI will also help avoid a situation where COVID might keep the city from addressing utility problems. Rains has been working with SEMA/FEMA and the Community Development Block Grant Staff on COVID-19 grant funding options for the AMI.

Summary of eﬀorts to keep electric bills as low as possible

So, what is Gallatin doing to keep the electric rates as low as possible? Below is a summary of the actions the city is taking to keep the electric rate adjustments as low as possible: 1. Changing the current billing policy in which all departments will pay for their electric use 2. Installing the AMI system for better meter collection and loss reduction 3. Working on the 2400 system to reduce electrical loss 4. Hiring professional electric engineering ﬁrms to utilize their expertise on projects 5. Utilizing as much possible grant funding to reduce the cash amount of the upgrades

Unvarnished truth

I had prepared a nice, feel good something for my last column to fill this space. I really don’t want my last impression to be negative. Then Monday I took a call from a professor from the University of Kentucky on the heels of a request from a professor from Louisiana State University to photograph our last day printing this newspaper. “Why?” is such a simple question, and so hard to fully answer. I have nothing profound to share, merely a few observations perhaps viewed without the usual rosecolored glasses. One point above all others: Longevity is not always the best measure. Journalism practiced in rural America is only as strong as its community. This is no rant about the obvious. Fewer mom-and-pop businesses in town means less competition and thus no real motivation for small businesses to advertise (the lifeblood for a newspaper). Franchise businesses buttress local sales tax revenue but profits are always siphoned out of the community to benefit corporate headquarters elsewhere. The digital world has disrupted print media (note “disrupted,” not yet totally displaced). When readers come to the table to digest news, traditional newspapers serve the meat and vegetables needed for a healthy democracy while the internet mostly serves dessert. When readers choose, it’s no wonder sugar cookies win over broccoli. What’s worse are news sources which opt to sugar-coat whatever they choose to call truth; it’s harder and harder to discern news from entertainment. This is why people hate media. Computers make labor problems more acute. Pre-press workers are more productive than ever. But such efficiency makes hiring new employees much more difficult and stresses those working into layers of multi-tasking while continuously relearning never-ending software upgrades and new ways. Vacations are still scheduled, but nobody can take time off to be sick – which ironically counterby Darryl Wilkinson balances how small businesses are unable to provide health insurance (and let’s not discuss materMost of you only know us by this nity nor paternity leave or holidays). newspaper, which takes about 40%

Off the Editor’s Spike...

of our work week but delivers only 12% of this company’s revenue – and that at a barely break-even threshold of self-suﬃciency. Yet, the journalism I’ve practiced while subsidizing the North Missourian has been the love of my work life. Thus, a Paul Simon song seems appropriate, about the “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover…”

Competition

confronting newspapers is fierce. More eyes on cell phones than newsprint is obvious. But competitors today come at you in so very many ways, from the bank’s textcaster to the county clerk who points voters to a website rather than the newspaper for sample ballots immediately before an election. Newspapers have always depended on the U.S. Postal Service for so much of its delivery, but that is no longer an advantage. News gathering has changed. Sports pages in Just slip out the back, Jack print compete against video displayed on scoreMake a new plan, Stan boards at some schools, both in the gym and on Don’t mean to be coy, Roy the playing field. School administrators handle Just listen to me… communications with the public more easily by Hop on the bus, Gus managing their own websites. Business sales and Don’t need to discuss much coupons now blast out on social media -- matching Just drop off the key, Lee their pitch to game apps rather than placing their And get yourself free. advertising next to news in ink. In some respects, news reporting is easier than before. Email and social media pages enable a very large number of people to become “reporters” and, thus, converting every newspaper staff member into an editor. Besides “more cooks in the kitchen,” the newspaper is no longer the primary original source for news. Regurgitating posts for print isn’t very effective. That’s the unresolved problem facing all newspapers, large or small: Nobody owns the news; anybody can be a publisher and without taking responsibility. Just like telephone books, weekly newspapers get smaller and and smaller yet some still hang on. But when and how often do you reach for one?

specially since the Farm Crisis in the late 1980s, we kept trying to make lemonade from various lemons. We created a bit of a monster, quadrupling the revenue (not the profit) of this little business from the day we took over some 40+ years ago. We found revenue streams from five sources -- printing, 3 publications, and internet. We are extremely grateful to this community for the support and help in raising our four kids here. Three of these earned degrees from the University of Missouri but chose to reconnect with Gallatin graduates in matrimony -- perhaps the highest compliment my family can give to yours (and as a Northwest Bearcat our youngest married a gal that’s teaching us not everything from Pittsburg State and KU is bad ...not bad at all!). Gallatin has given us priceless hometown memories. We are extremely grateful. So much more could and should be said. Perhaps this is a poor piece upon which to depart. But like other musings that have appeared in this space, what I share comes from the heart. Right or wrong, weak or strong, I have sincerely tried to share what I know to be unvarnished truth. My goal is, and has been, to not necessarily have you agree with me but to encourage you to think -- and challenge you to think fairly and clearly. It is only through the competition of ideas can truth eventually emerge. I make no apology for believing in the profession of journalism in this traditional sense -- the noble, continuous, grinding pursuit of truth. When you run a small town newspaper, you really have no alternative -- not when you’re accountable to friends and foes you meet at the ball game, at the grocery store, or while sharing a church pew. My job as editor provided me with many, many instances when my faith in goodness was renewed. Even during the stressful reporting of a double-murder suicide, I witnessed a local deputy giving way to the more experienced state trooper with no hesitancy or overriding prejudices hinged on conflicting jurisdictions, contrary to just about every cop show streaming online. By and large, over and over, my job has allowed me the insight to conclude that our various civic systems in place still work.

ommunity is what attracted me to try a career in newspapers. I feel fortunate that my time occurred when it did, before the digital completely redefined community in virtual terms. I recognize this is out of step in today’s world going forward. But, hey... I’m a grandpa, and now I look forward to having more time to be a better one. There is one more important thing to point out before we part. My wife, Liz, is at least my equal in every way and certainly my better far beyond just my half. When we sat before attorney Sam Evans in his law office on the north side of the square signing the legal papers to acquire this business, Liz unexpectedly cried. She wasn’t scared of the future, but she correctly looked past my eagerness to the “life sentence” I was signing as her future. Yet, she has been with me every step of the way. I defy any man to point to a better help mate, mother, or significant other than Liz has been to me. Writing for you has been a love in my life. We both are sad that it appears this newspaper ends on our watch, so to speak. The reasons are many and would take several pots of coffee to begin to discuss in more meaningful ways than what you read here. Liz and I look forward to what God has in store for us in retirement. I don’t know what that means, but creating new pages until final deadline is kind of exciting. And, yes, we’re sad about the North Missourian. We’re at peace, knowing the time has come. We’ve done our best. Wednesdays will never the be same, but I think there’s a reason why the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. How ‘bout you?

Wayfair lowers income taxes by State Rep. J. Eggleston

The biggest accomplishment of my legislative career has to be ﬁnally passing the Wayfair bill that includes a big income tax cut for our citizens. “Wayfair” is the nickname of an internet sales tax to collect a tax on internet purchases that are not already being taxed. It’s called “Wayfair” after a 2018 Supreme Court case where Wayfair.com, NewEgg.com, and Overstock.com sued South Dakota over a similar law passed in that state. Ironically, Wayfair lost the case, but gained tons of name-ID for their web site. Web sites that have physical stores like Walmart.com and HomeDepot.com are already collecting sales tax on their sites’ purchases, as are some purchases on Amazon, but web sites with no Missouri stores were not. Because of the passage of the Wayfair bill, in 2023 all web sites will charge and collect Missouri sales tax. This primarily affects purchases on sites like Ebay and Etsy, and helps level the playing ﬁeld for our Missouri stores to better compete against the internet’s e-retailers and hopefully will drive more sales to our hometown businesses. Local cities and counties that have passed a voter approved use tax will see increases in their tax revenue from the Wayfair bill. About 2/3 of Missouri counties

and 1/3 of Missouri cities have passed this local use tax. Local governments that have not passed a local use tax will need to do so before seeing any financial gains. Of course, any local use tax increase will come from the pockets of citizens in the affected communities. To offset the increased sales/use taxes, Missourians will see lower income taxes. In 2024, Missouri income tax will drop for all citizens who pay income tax. Additional cuts will be available to those in the lower income range. By approximately 2030, the bill will drop Missouri income tax some more. Once fully enacted, these cuts will save Missourians approximately $300-400 million per year in income taxes. Because the cuts are triggered by other revenue growth, the Wayfair bill will provide income tax relief to our citizens while still prudently financing the needs of our state budget. Sen. Andrew Koenig and I have both worked extensively over the last three years on the Wayfair bill and are happy to finally have this legislative task accomplished. The bill now awaits Gov. Parson’s signature. Since he has named Wayfair as an important priority, it is expected the governor will sign the bill before the mid-July deadline.

STARTER 2.0 to ﬁx infrastructure by Congressman Sam Graves

Roads and bridges are what most folks think of when we talk about infrastructure. Surface transportation has always been key to our country’s success and it’s something we can’t afford to let slide. Last year, when it was time to renew Congress’s priorities and funding for roads and bridges, we instead got a Green New Deal-style bill with some roads and bridges thrown in for good measure. Speaker Pelosi came in and said, “it’s my way or the highway.” In what has historically been a bipartisan issue, Republicans were shut out of the process and the bill failed. A similar approach this time won’t ﬂy if we want to get a bipartisan bill done. We need to pass a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization, often referred to as the “highway bill.” We’ve gotten one passed many times, most recently in 2015 when I was the Chair of the Highways and Transit Subcommittee. The key to each of these bills was broad bipartisan support. This week, as Ranking Member of the Transportation Committee, I introduced a highway bill with Republican priorities that must be addressed to have a bipartisan package in the House. It’s quite simple — build roads and bridges, get the government out of the way, and make sure that rural America isn’t ignored. Building upon last year’s Surface Transportation Advanced through Reform,

Technology, & Efficient Review (STARTER) Act, this new STARTER Act 2.0 focuses on core infrastructure programs – like fixing our roads and bridges – rather than creating a bunch of new programs and mandates that just get in the way of fixing and improving our Nation’s infrastructure. STARTER 2.0 will provide for greater flexibility for states to meet their own unique transportation needs and priorities and streamline project delivery by cutting red tape to reduce delays and costs. It’s time to get the bureaucrats out of the way and let the builders do the work. Our rural communities contain 71 percent of public road mileage, but somehow seem to get the shaft time after time. Not only will STARTER 2.0 protect the existing programs that are important to these areas, but it further invests in our small and rural communities. Innovation and technology are critical to improving our infrastructure, as is the idea that our infrastructure should be more resilient to severe weather like flooding. These are key pieces of this legislation. Finally, we’ve got to put the Highway Trust Fund on a path to long-term sustainability so we can pay for these improvements. There’s no doubt that our infrastructure needs to be improved. However, it must be done in a bipartisan fashion with common sense solutions that move America forward as we’ve done many times over the course of history. It remains to be seen if Speaker Pelosi will agree.

Freedom isn’t free Perhaps no better way to approach Memorial Day 2021 than to reread words written by history’s greatest war correspondent, Ernie Pyle. The son of tenant farming parents in west-central Indiana, Pyle wrote about the hardships and bravery of the common soldier, not grand strategy. Prior to the United States’ entry into WWII, Pyle traveled to England and wrote about the Nazis’ continual bombing of London. His columns helped move the mood of America from isolationism to sympathy for the stubborn refusal of Great Britain to succumb to the will of Adolf Hitler. The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist’s legacy rests in his words and the impact they had on Americans before and during a war that threatened to take the world behind a curtain of fascism. Columns such as this below serve to honor what has been called “The Greatest Generation” and a reminder of how freedom isn’t free. by Ernie Pyle

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 12, 1944 – Due to a last-minute alteration in the arrangements, I didn’t arrive on the beachhead until the morning after D-day, after our first wave of assault troops had hit the shore. By the time we got here the beaches had been taken and the fighting had moved a couple of miles inland. All that remained on the beach was some sniping and artillery fire, and the occasional startling blast of a mine geysering brown sand into the air. That plus a gigantic and pitiful litter of wreckage along miles of shoreline. Submerged tanks and overturned boats and burned trucks and shell-shattered jeeps and sad little personal belongings were strewn all over these bitter sands. Ernie Pyle That plus the bodies of soldiers lying in rows covered with blankets, the toes of their shoes sticking up in a line as though on drill. And other bodies, uncollected, still sprawling grotesquely in the sand or half hidden by the high grass beyond the beach. That plus an intense, grim determination of work-weary men to get this chaotic beach organized and get all the vital supplies and the reinforcements moving more rapidly over it from the stacked-up ships standing in droves out to sea. *** Now that it is over it seems to me a pure miracle that we ever took the beach at all. For some of our units it was easy, but in this special sector where I am now our troops faced such odds that our getting ashore was like my whipping Joe Louis down to a pulp. In this column I want to tell you what the opening of the second front in this one sector entailed, so that you can know and appreciate and forever be humbly grateful to those both dead and alive who did it for you. Ashore, facing us, were more enemy troops than we had in our assault waves. The advantages were all theirs, the disadvantages all ours. The Germans were dug into positions that they had been working on for months, although these were not yet all complete. A onehundred-foot bluff a couple of hundred yards back from the beach had great concrete gun emplacements built right into the hilltop. These opened to the sides instead of to the front, thus making it very hard for naval fire from the sea to reach them. They could shoot parallel with the beach and cover every foot of it for miles with artillery fire. Then they had hidden machine-gun nests on the forward slopes, with crossfire taking in every inch of the beach. These nests were connected by networks of trenches, so that the German gunners could move about without exposing themselves. Throughout the length of the beach, running zigzag a couple of hundred yards back from the shoreline, was an immense V-shaped ditch fifteen feet deep. Nothing could cross it, not even men on foot, until fills had been made. And in other places at the far end of the beach, where the ground is flatter, they had great concrete walls. These were blasted by our naval gunfire or by explosives set by hand after we got ashore. Our only exits from the beach were several swales or valleys, each about one hundred yards wide. The Germans made the most of these funnel-like traps, sowing them with buried mines. They contained, also, barbed-wire entanglements with mines attached, hidden ditches, and machine guns firing from the slopes. This is what was on the shore. But our men had to go through a maze nearly as deadly as this before they even got ashore. Underwater obstacles were terrific. The Germans had whole fields of evil devices under the water to catch our boats. Even now, several days after the landing, we have cleared only channels through them and cannot yet approach the whole length of the beach with our ships. Even now some ship or boat hits one of these mines every day and is knocked out of commission.

Freedom isn’t free huge logs buried in the sand, pointing upward and outward, their tops just below the water. Attached to these logs were mines. In addition to these obstacles they had floating mines offshore, land mines buried in the sand of the beach, and more mines in checkerboard rows in the tall grass beyond the sand. And the enemy had four men on shore for every three men we had approaching the shore. And yet we got on. * * * Beach landings are planned to a schedule that is set far ahead of time. They all have to be timed, in order for everything to mesh and for the following waves of troops to be standing off the beach and ready to land at the right moment. As the landings are planned, some elements of the assault force are to break through quickly, push on inland, and attack the most obvious enemy strong points. It is usually the plan for units to be inland, attacking gun positions from behind, within a matter of minutes after the first men hit the beach. I have always been amazed at the speed called for in these plans. You’ll have schedules calling for engineers to land at H-hour plus two minutes, and service troops at H-hour plus thirty minutes, and even for press censors to land at H-hour plus seventy-five minutes. But in the attack on this special portion of the beach where I am – the worst we had, incidentally – the schedule didn’t hold. Our men simply could not get past the beach. They were

(continued from page 3)

pinned down right on the water’s edge by an inhuman wall of fire from the bluff. Our first waves were on that beach for hours, instead of a few minutes, before they could begin working inland. You can still see the foxholes they dug at the very edge of the water, in the sand and the small, jumbled rocks that form parts of the beach. Medical corpsmen attended the wounded as best they could. Men were killed as they stepped out of landing craft. An officer whom I knew got a bullet through the head just as the door of his landing craft was let down. Some men were drowned. The first crack in the beach defenses was finally accomplished by terrific and wonderful naval gunfire, which knocked out the big emplacements. They tell epic stories of destroyers that ran right up into shallow water and had it out point-blank with the big guns in those concrete emplacements ashore. When the heavy fire stopped, our men were organized by their officers and pushed on inland, circling machine-gun nests and taking them from the rear. As one officer said, the only way to take a beach is to face it and keep going. It is costly at first, but it’s the only way. If the men are pinned down on the beach, dug in and out of action, they might as well not be there at all. They hold up the waves behind them, and nothing is being gained. Our men were pinned down for a while, but finally they stood up and went through, and so we took that beach and

accomplished our landing. We did it with every advantage on the enemy’s side and every disadvantage on ours. In the light of a couple of days of retrospection, we sit and talk and call it a miracle that our men ever got on at all or were able to stay on. Before long it will be permitted to name the units that did it. Then you will know to whom this glory should go. They suffered casualties. And yet if you take the entire beachhead assault, including other units that had a much easier time, our total casualties in driving this wedge into the continent of Europe were remarkably low – only a fraction, in fact, of what our commanders had been prepared to accept. And these units that were so battered and went through such hell are still, right at this moment, pushing on inland without rest, their spirits high, their egotism in victory almost reaching the smart-alecky stage. Their tails are up. "We’ve done it again," they say. They figure that the rest of the army isn’t needed at all. Which proves that, while their judgment in this regard is bad, they certainly have the spirit that wins battles and eventually wars.

Plattsburg bookkeeper sentenced for theft

WMCC Dog Team sniﬀs out the fugitive

Corrections teams are always ready to support local law enforcement. When the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office needed help tracking a fugitive last month, the Western Missouri Correctional Center Dog Team responded immediately, arriving with a K-9 unit on the scene near Winston and quickly locating the fugitive, who was safely taken into custody. The fugitive was an Overland Park, KS, man who rear ended a MoDOT truck on I-35 and then fled the scene of the accident on April 27. Sheriff Larry Adams Jr. recently presented the WMCC team with a commendation in recognition of their work.

MDC urges public to “bee-friend” native pollinators Spring and summer months bring both the buzz of lawnmowers and bees. These fuzzy flyers are important pollinators, playing a crucial role in the production of many favorite fruits and vegetables. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages the public to “bee-friend” these valuable native pollinators. “Missouri is home to around 450 species of native bees, but it’s not uncommon for more to be identified each year,” said MDC Urban Wildlife Biologist Erin Shank. “There are several common bees Missourians will encounter, including the bumblebee, carpenter bees, sweat bees, and the leafcutter bee.” Most native bees only live about one year. They emerge in the spring as adults, visiting flowers and buildings nests. Many species, such as bumblebees, make their nests underground, while others, such as leafcutter and mason bees, will set up shop in small cavities found in wood or in the pith of plant stems. “Most don’t have stingers long enough to penetrate human skin,” said MDC Community and Private Land Conservation Branch Chief Bill White. White and his team work to create and maintain native wildlife habitat in communities and on private lands. Additionally, native bees are doing their agricultural duty by pollinating flowering plants that provide food, fiber, and even medicines. Shank explained that native bees, such as the bumblebee, are effective pollinators because of a technique called buzz pollination. “It’s a vibrating movement involving their wing muscles that allows the bumblebee to free pollen from the anther, the flower’s pollen-producing structure,” Shank said. “This strategy causes the flower to explosively release pollen. There are some flowering plants that will release pollen only through buzz pollination. One favorite, the tomato plant, requires either buzz pollination or visitation by a larger bodied bee, such as the bumblebee.” BEE A FRIEND There are several ways the public can support Missouri’s native bees. Shank said the best way is to get floral. “It’s all about the flowers,” Shank stressed. “Provide native companion plants, and especially those with colorful blossoms, because color attracts bees.”

Companion planting, in which one plant helps the growth of another, can help facilitate the pollination of fruits and vegetables. For example, planting bee balm can help pollinate tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Other examples of flowering companion plants include sunflowers, wild hyacinth, blue wild indigo, purple prairie clover, and common milkweed. There are several options of flowering trees and shrubs, too. “Redbud, American plum, and golden currant are great for pollinators,” said White. Shank noted that providing more flowers can also mean not mowing the lawn as much. “Clover, violets, and dandelions are some common lawn plants that provide vital food for bees – especially in the spring before most flowers appear,” Shank explained. “Delaying mowing or mowing higher can help bees by letting the plants grow. Even allowing access to the ground by not mulching every inch can help. Some bees need access to the soil to excavate their nests.” NO YARD? NO PROBLEM! Shank said residents who live in urban areas without access to a yard can still be a big help to native bees. Surprisingly, St. Louis has one of the most diverse bee populations in the Midwest, with more than 200 species found in the city limits alone. “You can offer bees native flowers in a planting box or pot,” Shank explained. “Getting involved in a community garden or helping plant at a nearby park is great, too.” For those without a green thumb, it may be tempting to buy the bee houses or hotels being offered in stores. However, the real need is not nesting sites, but native flowering plants. Many of the commercially available bee hotels contain the wrong length of tubes or wrong diameter for Missouri’s bees. Find out how to build your own at https://www. xerces.org/publications/factsheets/nests-for-native-bees. White stressed the need for yearly maintenance on bee houses. “After bees emerge in the spring, either the used tubes need to be removed or plugged so they can’t be reused,” White stressed. “The tubes will harbor parasites and disease, as well as pollen mites that could impact another generation of bees wanting to use the house. The more houses erected in one spot, the bigger the problem be-

comes and more harm to local bees. The fact remains that native bees will benefit more from native flowering plants than bee houses. ”

Offender dies following incident

An offender at the Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron died after a physical altercation with another inmate on April 24, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. The inmate sustained numerous injuries and was transported to a local medical facility, where he later died. There is an ongoing investigation, and an autopsy will be performed.

A bookkeeper was sentenced May 24 for defrauding the Plattsburg Special Road District and stealing $268,000. The judge ordered Ava Langner to pay more than $100,000 in restitution on the charge of theft brought by the U.S. Attorney after State Auditor Nicole Galloway's audit detailed falsified records and years of improper self-payments. Auditor Galloway issued a statement after the former secretary/treasurer of the road district was ordered to pay restitution for defrauding district taxpayers. After receiving a whistleblower complaint, a 2019 audit by Auditor Galloway's office detailed how Langner defrauded the district in Clinton County of more than $286,000 with years of unauthorized selfpayments and then attempted to cover up her crime by falsifying

records. "I'm proud of the auditors and investigators in my office who uncovered this crime, which was a brazen betrayal of public trust. Our work continued as we assisted federal law enforcement as the U.S. Attorney pursued justice for the taxpayers who were defrauded," Auditor Galloway said. "Our audits have resulted in 77 criminal charges against public officials who abused their positions. Today's sentencing is an example of how audits help bring accountability." District Judge Gary Fenner ordered Langner to repay $95,423 to the Plattsburg Special Road District and $5,000 to the Missouri Public Entity Risk Management Fund. Langner also was placed on five years probation.

Jameson Rauth and relay team take second Jameson Rauth, son of Scott T. Rauth and Anne Foley Rauth and grandson of the late Barbara and Wiley Foley of Gallatin and nephew of Ed Foley, is on the 4x800 meter relay team from Lincoln College Preparatory Academy that qualified in the rain this past weekend to run at the state track meet at Jefferson City on Friday, May 28.

state track qualifiers, musical theater roles, and new adventures our family is pursuing. Let’s also celebrate the notso-good news, too: family members now in heaven, an emergency room visit complete with stitches, the Chiefs losing a Super Bowl and, who can forget, a Global Pandemic. We need a balance of both in our lives, don’t we? Because in both the good and the bad, I know, and I hope you do, too, that God is large and in charge. I have chosen for my final column two recipes — one from each of my grandmothers. And, they’re both cakes, because if we’re celebrating we’re going to do it with desserts, right? Edna Doll Somerville actually wrote the Jameson column for this newspaper for many years. I still have the clipping when she announced my birth. She was known for her Angel Food cake. My boys know that an Angel Food cake with fluffy icing is always the cake I want for my birthday. My Foley grandmother, Alice Mariah O’Toole Foley (I’m learning that for genealogy purposes to always include complete names), was where I learned to make bread. I’d ride my bicycle over to her house and we’d start kneading. She

didn’t have a dishwasher, so we each had our assigned clean up jobs. Shody (that was what we called her) would wash and I would dry. To this day when I have dishes that I can’t put in the dishwasher, I am much more comfortable drying them. And ﬁnally, some “Thank Yous...” To Joe and Katherine Snyder -- I hope up in heaven that you can see that a girl from Gallatin enjoyed writing for the newspaper that was always willing to publish stories about her life. To Darryl and Liz -- Thank you for allowing me to be part of this publication for almost three years. Thank you for all you’ve done for the community and may God continue to bless you and all the grandchildren. To the readers -- I’ve been blessed that you’ve chosen to spend time reading and hopefully preparing some of the recipes I’ve shared. I’ve enjoyed the emails and messages with questions and submissions. I’ve loved seeing people and hearing what recipes they’ve tried. May God continue to bless all your families and your gatherings centered around food. Keep in touch: arauth@gmail. com or anne@annerauth.com -- Anne (Foley) Rauth

Great Home Cookin’

Keep families gathering around food Dear readers… to my friends and family… In August 2018, I found a recipe I had clipped from my hometown newspaper and had saved for many, many years. It brought back special memories for me and I had a hair brained idea: in these days of “any recipe easily available on the internet” and “recipes continually being shared on social media,” could I get someone to believe in the possibility of a weekly recipe sharing column? I emailed Liz and Darryl, and honestly, to my amazement they agreed! So, after 150 recipes and many memories shared, this chapter is closing. I am sad for the community, for Darryl and Liz and, yes, for myself but sort of like the Mary Tyler Moore TV Show where she throws her hat in the air… let’s celebrate! Let’s celebrate an amazing heritage of delivering award winning journalism to a ﬁne community. Let’s celebrate the good news that has been shared in this paper since I’ve been writing this column. For me that’s been a son’s college graduation, two middle school graduations, an Eagle Scout ceremony (with hopefully one more to come), the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, tales of Abbie the Labbie,

Culver-Stockton College, located in Canton, is a four-year residential institution in affiliation with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Nelson earns Dean's List Ross Airon Nelson of Winston was among those recognized by Central Methodist University for achieving the spring dean’s list. Nelson, a junior, is majoring in business. Nearly 1,000 students across all campuses and online learning met the requirements for placement on the dean’s list, including a grade point average of 3.50 or higher for the semester.

Reprinted from News-Press Now Sports. The Platte Valley pitching staff had allowed just three runs per game coming into Monday’s Class 1 Sectional game in Lathrop. The Pattonsburg Panthers took their revenge after a loss to Platte Valley (South Nodaway with Jefferson) 11 days ago by scoring seven runs in the first two innings and eventually defeating the Class 1 District 16 champions 11-2. “It’s exciting to score runs. I wish we would have put more pressure on every inning,” Pattonsburg coach Jeffrey Epperly said. “But I’m proud of the way we started, finished, and did

Area students named on Truman honor rolls Truman State University, Kirksville, has released its academic honor rolls for the spring 2021 semester.

Thank you.

what we had to along the way.” Platte Valley starter Trever McQueen struck out the first two batters in the bottom of the first. The second strikeout ended with a dropped third strike, kickstarting the Panthers’ offense. Cameron Jones and Kaden de Jong capitalized on the mistake, hitting back-to-back doubles that gave Pattonsburg a 3-0 lead. Maesen Weller drove in the fourth run of the inning on a groundout to first base. “We had the momentum in that first inning to get on them early and we just put it on them early and kept going,” Jones said. de Jong bounced back from a rough outing in their last meeting where he allowed five runs over three innings. The Panthers’ starter pitched three innings Monday night with six strikeouts, no hits, and one walk over three innings. Pattonsburg carried its offensive momentum into the second inning with one-out single and

a walk. Jones and de Jong then got to McQueen for the secondstraight inning with a double and a single that scored three runs. “We knew they could hit and I missed some spots early and it took me a while to settle in,” McQue en said. Platte Valley found some life offensively in the fourth inning against Weller. McQueen began the inning with a walk, and sophomore Memphis Bliley gave Platte Valley its two runs with a two-run home run. “It was a next man up mentality,” Platte Valley coach Zach Dyer said. “We’ve been talking all year about if we need you, you come in and battle and that’s what we expect of them and what they did.” Weller pitched just a third of an inning before giving way to Jones. The senior pitched the final three and two-third innings, striking out five and walking just one batter. de Jong led the Panthers with three RBIs, while Zane Reed

and Jones each had two runs batted in. Pattonsburg’s season will continue with a trip to Green City tonight (Wednesday) with game time at 6 p.m. The Panthers are 13-2 going into the game. The Green City Gophers are 11-3. Platte Valley’s season ends with its first district championship since 2015 and its most wins in over 12 years. The Panthers defeated the Osborn with Stewartsville Wildcards on May 19, 14-2. They then defeated Albany, 14-4, in the Class 1 District 15 championship on May 20 in order to face Platte Valley. Tri-County with Gallatin season ends The Tri-County with Gallatin baseball team defeated South Harrison on May 19 in the Class 3 District 16 Tournament, but fell to Carrollton (23-3) in a followup game that night, 10-0. They closed their season with a record of 9-6.

Statutory crimes against Starr A 25-year-old Gallatin man, Michael Starr, has been charged with one count of statutory rape second degree and two counts of statutory sodomy second degree after allegedly having sexual intercourse repeatedly with a 15-year-old girl. According to the probable cause statement prepared by Sergeant Jared Hogan, the intercourse began in December 2018 and occurred 3-4 times per week. Starr convinced the juvenile and her mother that he was 18 years old at the time. As a result of this relationship, the juvenile became pregnant and gave birth to a male child in September 2019. Starr admits that he is the biological father. Starr was charged with the crimes May 21, and bond is denied. He has an extensive criminal history involving driving offenses.

Never a ﬂeeting thought By Judge Brent Elliott Growing up on our farm near Eagleville, I never had a fleeting thought of becoming an attorney. I did not have any relatives who were lawyers, and, in fact, we did not even know any lawyers. My summers were spent picking up hay, building fence, and playing baseball. Those experiences seemed light years away when I found myself in the Daviess County courthouse making my first appearance as an attorney. I was the newly elected prosecuting attorney of Livingston County and was in Gallatin to obtain a trial setting on a case wherein the defendant had requested a change of venue. It was a Law Day (a monthly, prescheduled date when a judge hears motions and other matters that require relatively short hearings). I was awaiting my turn when a gentleman in uniform seated himself beside me. It was Tom Houghton, Daviess County Sheriff. I had met him previously only briefly. We sat in silence as six impeccably dressed attorneys made their arguments on what was clearly a high dollar, important case. They were from large law firms in St. Louis and Kansas City. I had noticed several Mercedes Benz and BMWs parked outside when I arrived. I am certain their individual suits cost more than my car. Their briefcases were undoubtedly more expensive than my suit. I must admit a sense of inferiority crept in as I wondered what a farm kid from Eagleville was doing in a business where he would have to compete with lawyers like these. As the attorneys’ assistants placed voluminous documents in personalized leather briefcases and started to exit, Sheriff Houghton leaned over to me and said, “They would make one heck of a hay crew, wouldn’t they?” I grinned and replied, “I doubt if any of them own a hay hook.” It was as if Sheriff Houghton had read my thoughts. He rose to leave and said, “Remember something, young man. You are just as good as they are. They don’t even know how to load a wagon.” His confidence in me restored my confidence in myself. It was fortuitous, as many of my subsequent trials were against those “high dollar” lawyers. Through the years, I have told many young people about Sheriff Houghton’s statements. I hope my comments to them instilled that same self-confidence. Tom Houghton passed away last November due to complications from COVID-19. He and I shared many a laugh over his comments. Presumably, he understood the importance of his words or he would not have spoken them. It was a defining moment for me and his timing was perfect. Unfortunately, I never told him what a positive impact he had on my career. Remember, speak now or forever hold your peace. er Play on April 21. Preschool screenings were May 4.

Gallatin North Missourian 1864-2021 By Jennifer Millet On May 26, 2021, the North Missourian, longest running publication of Daviess County, printed its last edition. June 2021 would have marked the 157th year of the North Missourian. In 1864, “Journey to the Center of the Earth” by Jules Verne was published. Abraham Lincoln was president. The Civil War was still being fought. Cars and radios were not yet invented. September 15, 1864, was the fourth issue of the paper and the first one available on microfiche. It was four pages long. A subscription would set you back $2 a year and editors and proprietors Waters & Kost promised it would be “printed on good material.” On the front page of the Sept. 15 issue, there was a Professional Card for John A. Leopard who had a practice “in the office on the corner, northeast of the Public Square,” poetry titled “Wounded unto Death,” and The Moralist had a piece titled “The Right Sort of Religion.” The paper also included the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad Time Table and Mabies Grand Menagerie was the most eye-catching ad. Below are some excerpts from the Sept. 15 issue. • Article titled Bold Theft, “On Tuesday a couple of scoundrels made their appearance in our city, seeking whom they might devour…The gambling thieves were lodged in jail where they will be properly taken care of.” • More Cold-Blooded Murder article included phrases such as “devil in human form,” “villainous scoundrel and thief,” “bloody wretches,” and “reign of terror.” • The paper identified those who were secessionists and became radical loyalists “of the fiercest fire and brimstone stamp.” The North Missourian was preceded in death by Missouri Sun, Gallatin Sun, Gallatin Spectator, Western Register, Peoples Press, Gallatin Democrat, and Daviess County Republican, all of Gallatin; the Winston Sentinel, Coffey Sun, Altamont Times, Pattonsburg Call, Lock Springs Herald, Jameson Laconic, and 21 other Daviess County publications. The North Missourian is survived by Tri-County Weekly of Jamesport, the last surviving paper of Daviess County. The North Missourian has witnessed a lot of changes and history during its 156 years. A video of the North Missourian’s final press run will be posted on the North Missourian Facebook page by the end of the week. Memorials may be left on the North Missourian Facebook page, https://www. facebook.com/northmissourian.

The prophet Isaiah had a difficult task. Speaking truth to stubborn and rebellious people is never easy. Isaiah's job was to warn God's people about the fate that awaited the nation. The tone of Isaiah 49 is somewhat different from the first forty-eight chapters. Our attention is turned to the Servant, the Promised Messiah of Israel (and ultimately the Gentiles also). The first six verses variously describe and identify this Servant of the Lord. This Servant is a choice arrow chosen from before birth. The Lord has chosen to display His glory in this Servant. For a moment in time, it will appear that this Servant will have appeared and labored in vain. However, that will not be true. God will accomplish His purposes in a strange and mysterious way but accomplish them He will. This Servant of the Lord will focus on Israel first but will eventually turn His attention to the rest of the world. He will be a light to the nations and His salvation will reach to the ends of the earth. Verses 7-8 tell us, tragically, the Servant of the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, the Holy One of Israel will be despised, abhorred, and rejected. However, that is what will trigger the offer of redemption to the rest of the world. You know the record of Scripture. Isaiah's prediction has come to pass. The Messiah came, was crucified as the ultimate rejection. He was resurrected, ascended, and sits at the right hand of the Father. God the Father will be faithful to His promises. He can do no other. He is Truth. His Word is Truth. His character and nature constrain Him from being otherwise. Additionally, and even more importantly, His relationship with His Son ensures that He will be faithful to His promises to us. Verses 9-13 advance the message about the manifold blessings that will come to the people of God through this Servant of the Lord. Physical healing, ease of travel, compassion on the afflicted, abundance of food and water illustrate the spiritual blessings. Verses 14-16 answer a false objection from Israel based on irrational worry, But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me, And the Lord has forgotten me." 15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. 16 "Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me. (NASU) God will never, never, never forget those to whom His promises were aimed. His Word is faithful and true. The love of a nursing mother for her child is about as close an earthly approximation to the love of God that there is. However, in this fallen world, as verse 15 acknowledges, some mothers might forget their nursing children or have no compassion on their children, but God will in no wise ever forget those who belong to Him. Verse 16 uses a graphic object lesson drawn from the custom of many ancient peoples, who seemed to create a crude “tattoo” of sorts on their palms as a reminder of something important in their lives. God has no hands, but it seems that He has figuratively speaking, inscribed the walls of Jerusalem on His palms. The walls are emblematic of His people. Thus, whenever He figuratively raises His hands, He is reminded of His beloved people. Thus, He is unable to ever forget them. Even if a nursing mother is not reminded by the production of milk to nurse her baby, God will never forget those to whom His promises belong. Praise God for His longsuffering loving kindness.

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

Missouri Veterans Homes Open for New Admissions The Missouri Veterans Commission (MVC) announced recently that all seven Veteran Homes are taking applications for new admissions. The homes are located in Cameron, Cape Girardeau, Mexico, Mount Vernon, St. James, St. Louis, and Warrensburg. At full capacity, the homes have a total of 1,238 beds that provide long-term skilled nursing care. "We are excited to be taking applications for new admissions into all seven of our Veteran Homes,” MVC Executive Director Paul Kirchhoff said. “The Missouri Veterans Commission is committed to providing highquality, compassionate care for Veterans. We have protocols in place to ensure an easy and safe transition for Veterans."

Kirchhoff said six of the seven Veteran Homes have waiting lists but that it is important to keep the lists active and updated as openings become available in the Homes. There have been no COVID-19 cases among Veterans in any of the seven Homes since January 29, 2021. In addition to complying with infection control guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), MVC has implemented daily COVID-19 testing protocols for all staff and Veterans along with continual infection control training. MVC has created a phased reopening approach based on real-time monitoring of the coronavirus

in each Home and each community's positivity rate. Each Missouri Veterans Home employs a licensed nursing home administrator and is staffed by registered nurses 24 hours a day. Each Home provides physician care; physical, speech, occupational and recreational therapy; medications; maintenance, environmental and social services, and dietary specialists; and cosmetology services to support the dignity and self-respect of Veterans. Each Home has a secured dementia unit that includes a dining room, activity area, and an enclosed courtyard. To be eligible for admission to a Missouri Veterans Home, an individual must meet the criteria for Veteran status es-

Tails & Tales Summer Reading Program The Summer Reading Program of the Daviess County Library kicked off last weekend with the youngest readers visiting the library to adopt pet reading buddies and register for the 12-week reading program. The library staff was thrilled to process 36 registrations and 18 new library cards—most of which provided new 5-year-old readers with their own card! Following such a long, lonely 2020, this turnout definitely served to encourage the library staff and excite them for a vibrant program this summer and lots of young voices back in the library.

University of Missouri Extension horticulturist Tamra Reall says Missourians may see some straggler cicadas from other states but not the massive swarms of noisy insects that more eastern states will see. The next brood to emerge in Missouri will not appear until 2024. Periodical cicadas, as opposed to their larger annual counterparts, emerge every 13 or 17 years in late May to early July. Cicadas are noisy and overwhelming. But they are also magical, says Reall. “They are magical because of how rarely they emerge. Their scientific genus reflects this – Magicicada,” says Reall, who has a background in entomology. “Just take time to reflect on the cool factor.” This heavy-bodied insect features large, red compound eyes

MDC urges drivers to slow down and give turtles a brake! Watch out for turtles on Missouri roads this spring as they look for food and a mate. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages drivers to be cautious on the roads this spring and give turtles a brake! These reptiles are often hit by cars during the warmer months, but are at special risk this time of year because they are more active. Common turtles spotted crossing Missouri roads include three-toed box turtles, ornate box turtles, and snapping turtles. Turtles emerge from their burrows and begin the hunt for food and mates during warm and wet conditions, which can lead them to cross roadways, oftentimes resulting in their death. Thousands of box turtles are killed every year by vehicles. Young males make up most of the travelers, sometimes wandering as many as six miles

searching for territories and mates. Females are also crossing the roads in search of nesting areas. Turtles are cold-blooded creatures and depend on external sources of heat to determine their body temperature. This explains why people see them on warm asphalt during cool, spring days. Vehicles are one of the leading factors in box turtle declines, and MDC urges motorists to be cautious and slow down when they see a turtle in the road. If helping a turtle make it safely across, check for traffic and move the turtle across the road in the direction it is traveling. Additionally, MDC encourages Missourians to leave turtles in the wild. Taking a wild animal, whether a turtle or other wildlife species, and keeping it as a pet normally ends in a slow death. Leave turtles in the wild, follow the speed limit, and keep your eyes on the road.

Newspapers from oﬀset to digital

For the first 145 years, the North Missourian lived in a black/white world. But in 2009 that changed when Gallatin Publishing Company relocated into expanded facilities and installed a reconditioned 6-unit News King Press. Although publications are produced by the offset method of printing, pre-press composing and preparations became totally digital at this time. As business computer purchases became less expensive, software programs once installed from CDs are now downloaded from the internet cloud. Upgrades make workers much more efficient but keeping software upgrade conversions compatible (not just at GPC work stations but with printing customers) is a never-ending challenge. GPC’s award winning feature writer Georgia Maxwell at the keyboard of a Compugraphic 7200, a computer putting keystrokes on film, while producing another issue of the newspaper in 1984.

Periodicals printed during May, 2021, at Gallatin: Green Hills Shopper, Trenton New Shopper of Gentry County, Albany Ad Zone,, Chillicothe-Gallatin-Hamilton Trenton Republican Times, Trenton Unionville Republican, Unionville The Courier, Princeton-Unionville Hale Horizon, Hale Harrison County Ad-Visor, Bethany Lawson Review, Lawson Princeton Post-Telegraph, Princeton North Missourian, Gallatin Tri-County Weekly, Jamesport Total copies printed each week: Nodaway News Leader, Maryville Lake Viking News, Gallatin (monthly) 60,100

A 6-unit News King press, purchased from the University of Missouri-Columbia, arrived in 2007. GPC employees help produce over a dozen newspaper periodicals every week of the year. Workers perform pre-press, printing, mail room, delivery services and more. At its peak GPC provided paychecks for nearly 30 full and part-time employees. Although the names and faces changed, a company photo became a tradition taken at Christmas parties. For many years the holiday dinner was shared at McDonald Tea Room. This staﬀ photo, taken in front of GPC’s News King printing press was taken in 2009.

A digital laser thermal computer-to-plate (CTP) system replaced ﬁlm processing and lowered production costs beginning in 2015. Dennis Cox processed over 7,800 printing plates during that year.

Although color inks are purchased by 5-gallon buckets or even 55-gallon drums, black ink is purchased by the transport truckload at 11-month intervals. A simple ﬂoat hooked onto a wire pressed against a measuring stick helps pressmen know the depth of ink to be pumped from this storage vat at any given time.

GPC relocated in the remodeled space of the former cap factory building along South Main Street in 2007.

Besides press room and new warehouse space, the relocation included 6,000 sqft of new oﬃces Owners Darryl & Liz Wilkinson at work in 1984.

In 2002 GPC delivery driver Cecil Humphrey received the Experienced Worker regional award

Often what counts most is what a publisher does for his community away from press deadlines. Here retired publisher Joe Snyder rides in a Chautauqua festival bed race powered by GPC employees Liz Wilkinson, Marsha McBee, Connie Sloan, and Darryl Wilkinson. After a trademark dispute brought by a Texas business, GPC’s shopper was renamed and then registered as the Ad Zone in 2012

Early digital products used at GPC were the Kodak DC50 Zoom camera and the Tandy 102 Portable Computer (now considered antiques)

Rolls of Canadian recycled newsprint, purchased though a cooperative to assure availability, are warehoused until used. Each full roll weighs about 1000 pounds. In 2015 if you connected and then unrolled all the newprint (like toilet tissue), the amount of newsprint used by GPC in linear miles totaled 4,344 miles ...from Gallatin to San Francisco and back to Gallatin and on to Pittsburgh, PA
