July 4th downsized at Lake Viking

Lake Viking’s traditional Fourth of July celebration has been influenced by the effects of COVID-19 this year. Organizers have canceled both the pancake breakfast and the bazaar, which were scheduled during the day on July 4.

The fireworks will blast off on schedule at 9:30 p.m., but a smaller crowd is expected as no publicity about the event is being distributed.

For those who attend, the Lake Viking board asks strict adherence to social distancing and CDC guidelines.

Lake Viking has proudly provided a fireworks display for the entire area for many years and will continue that tradition in future years.

The lake board asks your understanding for this year’s event.

As July 4th approaches, Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards takes this opportunity to wish the citizens of Gallatin a safe and happy holiday while pointing out the ordinances for shooting fireworks within the city.

Section 210.720 of the Gallatin City Code prohibits fireworks to be fired within the city except between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 midnight July 4. It also states that no fireworks shall be fired within 200 feet of any church, school, nursing home, or gas station or fired from or at a vehicle or at any person.

Here are some safety tips to keep you’re holiday safe: ● Always read and FOLLOW directions on the label. ● Always have an adult present to supervise your fireworks fun. ● Always buy from a reliable fireworks dealer. ● Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. ● Always use fireworks outdoors, away from homes, dry grass, and trees. ● Always have water handy. A water hose close by is excellent. ● Always store your fireworks safely, preferably in a closed box, away from any source of accidental ignition. ● Always store your fireworks in a cool, dry place. ● Always only light one item at a time. ● Never try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks. ● Never give ANY firework item to small children. ● Never throw or point fireworks at another person. ● Never carry fireworks in your pocket. ● Never shoot (fire) fireworks from metal or glass containers. ● Never experiment with, modify, or attempt to make your own fireworks. ● Pets can be frightened by loud noises and bright flashes. Keep your pets indoors while enjoying your fireworks.

In addition to local fireworks laws, illegal explosives have been outlawed by federal law since 1966. The laws against such dangerous devices are enforced by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF), and the mere possession of such items can result in your being federally prosecuted with substantial monetary penalties and jail time attached to a conviction.

In addition to the criminal aspect of possession of such items, they are very dangerous, and you subject yourself and those around you to severe injury if you use these items. Illegal explosives are not fireworks. They can contain hundred times more pyrotechnic loading than the legal firecrackers.

For instance, by definition and federal law, a legal firecracker can contain no more than 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic composition. A full-dose aspirin typically contains 325 mg. of composition, therefore the pyrotechnic composition in a legal firecracker is actually less than one sixth (1/6) the size of a full dose aspirin.

Compare this to what is commonly referred to as an M-80, which contains approximately 7 grams of powder, about 140 times the legal limit. M-100s contain about 20 grams of powder, about 400 times the legal limit. Other unsafe items include cherry bombs and sparkler bombs.

Officers will be patrolling and enforcing the firework laws in Gallatin. Violations could result in fireworks being confiscated.

Hart, Shubert lead GHS Class of 2020

Graduation ceremonies for 37 Gallatin R-5 seniors were conducted June 26 at the GHS football stadium. Graduation was originally scheduled for May 8, but was postponed due to COVID-19. The 2020 salutatorian was Madalyn Shubert, left, and the valedictorian was Jessica Hart, right. A complete list of scholarships, awards and honors announced during graduation ceremonies appears on page 3. [Submitted photo]

July 4th celebrations often include large gatherings of people.

The Daviess County Health Department (DCHD) wants you to be mindful of the rising number of COVID-19 cases.

“I cannot stress enough about hand washing and social distancing, which is hard sometimes in a large crowd,” says DCHD Administrator Cheryl Alexander.

“If you are a person with health issues already, please stay home as you are at the highest risk. Wearing a mask will also give you protection but not if you are not practicing good hygiene and continually touch your face and mask.

“We are all hoping for a turn around and want things to return to normal but until we see our numbers coming down and we are able to give a vaccine, we need to keep safety first.”

Daviess County has nine cases of COVID-19 with four of those active and five recovered.

The cases and their contacts are all following the advice of public health officials and staying home until released by medical personnel to resume regular activities.

It’s ‘Showtime’ without concessions, bleachers...

County Livestock Show opens July 9 at Dockery Park

The annual Daviess County Junior Livestock Show is set for July 9-10-11, 2020, at the fairgrounds located inside Dockery Park.

Due to COVID-19 regulations and precautions the fair board has made a few changes to this year’s show. Spectators and exhibitors are encouraged to bring their own seating along with food and beverage as there will be no bleachers or concessions. Hand washing stations and hand sanitizer will be available throughout the facilities.

The Daviess County Junior Livestock Show will open July 9 with the swine show at 5 p.m.

Each show will include a peewee

class for future exhibitors. Those exhibitors will show towards the beginning of each of their specific shows.

The Invitational 4-H and FFA Livestock Show is open to all 4-H and FFA members living in any county in Missouri and enrolled in respective livestock projects, or belonging to 4-H Clubs or FFA Chapters. Points will be earned in conjunction with the Invitational Show to Daviess County only FFA and 4-H members.

Last year 135 exhibitors showed 369 animals. There were 50 head of cattle, 68 head of sheep, 40 head of goats, 63 rabbits, 35 poultry and waterfowl, 4 dogs and 109 head of swine.

Donations sought to repair stage The Village of Jameson is accepting donations to repair/ rebuild the outdoor stage at the City Park.

Tree limbs had recently been cleared from the Jameson Park, but when it stormed again a tree landed on the roof of the stage and crushed it.

Members of Adam-ondiAhman (AOA) and some townspeople were willing to assist with clean up. Craig Heckenbach, a guest at the May 28 village meeting, stated he would cut up all the wood for firewood. A committee was formed of Jim Duly, Craig Heckenbach, chairman, Bob Woolsey, and AOA to work on the park damage.

A “Rebuild the Bandstand” fundraiser was discussed. All funds gathered will be used only for park restoration. Donations may be sent to: PO Box 14, Jameson, MO, 64647.

Other business discussed during the May 28 meeting included mowing bids and mower bids.

One bid was received from Hillyard Lawncare in Bethany for mowing at $100 per mowing for both roadways and lots. The board approved the bid, subject to mowing lots every 9-12 days, and roadways once a month.

Village employee Bob Woolsey reported that the city’s old sickle mower fell apart and major

Pre-registration for exhibitors is required and is due to the Daviess County Extension office

by Friday, July 3 along with entry fees. The forms and the show book are available online on the Facebook page or by calling the

Extension office. Any questions can be answered by the office staff at 660-663-3232.

High winds damage park The bandstand at Jameson’s park was seriously damaged May 24. A severe thunderstorm with high winds broke off a large portion of a tree standing next to the bandstand. A large branch fell on the bandstand and broke the roof in half.

Poets memorialize our country’s birth In the mid-1770’s our nation was born out of rebellion and resistance to foreign rule. The poets have memorialized the main events of our birth, and growth. Hear what they say: “The flags go down on land and sea like corn before the reaper; So burned the fire that brewed the tea that Boston served her keepers.

And Freedom’s teacup still o’erflows with ever fresh libations; To cheat of slumber all her foes and cheer the wakening nations!”

-- Oliver Wendell Holmes, “Ballad of The Boston Tea Party”

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood, their flag to April’s breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood, and fired the shot heard round the world.”

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Concord Hymn”

On the eighteenth of April, in seventy-five; hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year...”

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Paul Revere’s Ride”

“All day the great guns barked and roared; All day the big balls screeched and soared; All day, ‘mid the sweating gunners grim, who toiled in their smoke-shroud dense and dim; Sweet Molly labored with courage high, with steady hand and watchful eye; Till the day was ours, and the sinking sun looked down on the field of Monmouth won...and Molly standing beside her gun.” -- Laura Richards

‘New Green Deal’ impedes progress

By Congressman Sam Graves

America is at a crossroads.

Our infrastructure is crumbling, and, in the midst of a global pandemic, millions of Americans are out of work.

Rebuilding our infrastructure could be just the shot in the arm our country needs to rebuild. So, will we rise to the occasion, set aside our partisan differences and work together to rebuild America, or continue down the beaten trail that leads nowhere?

Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi chose the latter for all of us. Instead of allowing the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to build on years of bipartisan agreement and craft a commonsense bill that will rebuild our infrastructure, the Speaker completely highjacked the process.

Written behind closed doors, the Speaker’s $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill reads more like the Green New Deal than

anything rooted in reality. It’s chock full of new mandates and bureaucratic hurdles that slow down projects and make it far harder to maintain our roads and bridges. It’s exactly what we don’t need.

When a bridge is failing in North Missouri, we want it fixed quickly and affordably. The only thing our County Commissioners or MODOT get out of more top-down government mandates is more cost, more time, and more frustration. Our states and counties deserve flexibility to get their projects done and this bill provides just the opposite.

Worse yet, despite spending countless hours drafting their Green New Infrastructure Disaster bill behind closed doors, nobody ever stopped to ask, “how are we going to pay for this?”

They just passed the buck, so that future generations of Americans should be forced to foot the

bill. It’s no wonder why either, since it’s estimated they would have to double the gas tax just to pay for a portion of their plan.

That’s the wrong thing to do, especially now when millions of Americans are struggling just to get by. Most level-headed Americans laughed the “Green New Deal” off as a joke, but now its principles are starting to show up in real legislation. It’s infected the already toxic political atmosphere in Washington and now it threatens to halt progress on things every American should be able to agree on.

We need to fix our roads and bridges. We need to expand broadband internet access. We need to maintain and fix our nation’s ports and harbors. These are all things that we should be able to work together on. It’s time to put up the political games and start working for the American people.

On July 4th, we will once again celebrate our freedom as Americans on Independence Day. While it would be easy to allow news reports of viruses and protests and political animosity to make us feel negative about our country, the Fourth of July should be a reminder of how lucky we are to live in this time and this place – Missouri America in the 21st Century.

I would much rather live in America than in Europe where they have their own issues of political strife. Or in Venezuela or Russia where socialism has destroyed their economy and their hope for a good future. Or in China or North Korea where the communist government insures that freedom of any sort is virtually non-existent.

And I am proud to live in Missouri, who celebrates her 200th birthday next year. Living here easily beats the congestion of New York, the mis-management of California, or the anarchy in Washington. With our wide variety of urban and rural communities, and beautiful geography,

there is truly something in our state for everyone to enjoy and appreciate.

And despite our current issues, which shall someday pass as all issues do, I would much rather live now than in the 1940s when we were embroiled in a world war that threatened our nation’s existence. Or in the colonial days when the state-of-theart in food, medicine and hygiene produced an average life expectancy of only about 30 years and few people lived long enough to ever meet their grandchildren.

Or in the time of the pilgrims when there were no stores, roads, or societal structure, and people hoped not to starve to death, freeze to death, or be eaten by a bear.

As we celebrate this Independence Day, let us not lament the imperfections of our time, but instead be thankful for the hardfought progress and victories of our ancestors -- the soldiers, the farmers, the entrepreneurs -that allow us the freedom to live in the greatest country on Earth, and in a pinnacle state in that country. Happy birthday, USA!

Simple steps to protect yourself from summer’s mosquito & tick bites The summer heat has arrived!

Although COVID-19 awareness and prevention continues to be a top priority, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) wants to remind Missourians to also take simple steps to prevent illnesses that are spread by ticks and mosquitoes when they spend time outdoors.

“Missouri is a beautiful state.

Home to gorgeous parks, fantastic hiking trails, national forest lands, pretty lakes, and unfortunately ticks and mosquitoes,” said Dr. Randall Williams, DHSS Director.

DHSS receives reports of illness caused by tick and mosquito bites throughout the year, including winter months, though reports are more frequent during the warm weather months.

Illnesses that may result from tick and mosquito bites can range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can even be fatal.

“Symptoms of tick and mosquito borne diseases typically begin within two weeks of a bite and include flu-like symptoms such as a sudden fever, body aches, and headache,” said Williams.

The two main tick-borne diseases reported in Missouri residents are ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, followed by tularemia and Lyme disease.

A small number of Heartland virus and Bourbon virus cases have also been reported in recent years. In 2019, Missouri reported a combined total of 976 cases of tick-borne disease.

West Nile virus is the most common illness spread by mosquitoes in Missouri and other parts of the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 80% of people infected with West Nile virus will not develop any symptoms.

In 2019, Missouri reported 5 cases of West Nile virus. This was a low number of reported cases for Missouri, below the five-year average of approximately 20 cases per year.

Other states in the Midwest region experienced declines in cases reported during 2019 as well. Last week, St. Louis County announced their first West Nile virus case for 2020. This is the first reported case statewide this season.

Despite the presence of ticks and mosquitoes, everyone can

safely enjoy the outdoors with a few simple safety precautions.

The best way to protect yourself and your family from the diseases carried by ticks and mosquitoes is to avoid their bites.

“We encourage everyone to protect themselves by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and long pants when the weather allows, and performing tick checks after being outdoors,” said Williams.

DHSS recommends the following precautions to prevent tick and mosquito bites.

Use insect repellent products with ingredients registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus.

For children under 3 years of age, do not use products containing oil of lemon eucalyptus. Apply and re-apply insect repellent to exposed skin according to the package instructions.

Wear long sleeves and pants to reduce exposed skin when weather permits. Wearing light colored clothing makes it easier to see ticks that are crawling on you while outdoors.

Stay away from brushy areas, tall grasses, and leaf litter to avoid ticks. Try to stay in the center of the trails when hiking.

After returning indoors, check your body carefully for ticks.

Eliminate mosquito habitat around your home. Drain standing water found in toys, buckets, flowerpots, gutters, or other items that may collect sprinkler or rainwater.

Empty, scrub, and refresh water in pet dishes and birdbaths at least once or twice per week.

Check window and door screens around the home. Repair holes or replace screens as needed to help keep mosquitoes outside of your home.

Loans for small business improvement The Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority (MASBDA) is currently accepting applications for two programs aimed at rural small business improvement, specifically meat processors across the state.

“At a time when Missouri’s economy is recovering from COVID-19, our board members and staff are proud to offer programs that help the Missouri families running these small businesses,” said MASBDA Executive Director Jill Wood. “Our meat processors are critical to our farmers, ranchers and small communities. It’s vital that we have facilities to process Missouri’s agricultural goods.”

Agricultural businesses in towns with populations under 50,000 may be eligible to receive funds from the Missouri Agribusiness Revolving Loan Fund, which can be used to start, acquire, operate, or expand an agribusiness. Qualifying agribusinesses may include valueadded agriculture enterprises, agriculture support businesses, marketers or retailers of agricultural products, and businesses with emerging agricultural technology. Due to COVID-19, MASBDA is currently offering a fixed interest rate of 4%.

Active Aging Resource Center

Peggy Sperry completes over 1,000 replica houses and local landmarks

by Natha McAllister from the Jamesport Tri-County Weekly

Peggy has been making replica bird houses for the past 35 years, and the one shown, is a perfect example of her work and talent.

This reproduction was made for Gene and Kathy Walker of Pattonsburg. The Walkers had their house moved from old Pattonsburg to new Pattonsburg after the flood of 1993. Peggy has done a marvelous job of creating the house with all the fine details of the original home.

Looking at the house you can see the stained-glass windows along with a curved glass window that can be seen from the front porch.

The model also has a ceiling fan hanging from the back porch and a rocking chair sets on the porch. There are two doors on the front porch complete with curtains on the inside door just like the actual house.

The first bird house Peggy made went to a friend in Oklahoma.

Peggy is extremely talented and doesn’t measure anything and admits it isn’t too scale, but it appears it would certainly be

close.

She has made several replicas of landmarks such as the Squirrel Cage Jail at Gallatin, the churches in Jamesport, along with Home Exchange Bank, old Rock Island depot, City Hall, the town of old Pattonsburg and TriCounty School. Each fall Peggy donates a replica house of a local landmark to be sold at auction at the annual Jamesport Fire and Rescue Auction.

Peggy grew up in Pattonsburg and in the middle 80’s she and her husband, Carlin, moved to Jamesport to open an antique store.

Later another store was added, Carlyle’s, where they sold antiques, vintage items, and a wide variety of unique gifts.

She custom made the bird houses in her spare time while tending the store.

During the COVID-19 quarantine, she spent about 3 weeks making the Walker house. It’s a pastime she enjoys, and she can work on it at her own pace.

When she decides to make a structure, she looks at a picture, gathers her pieces of wood and heads for the saw for the perfect cut and the house is soon an unbelievable piece of art.

Reunions

Wooderson A small Wooderson reunion was held June 28, at Crowder Park. Glad the weather was cooperative and not too hot or sticky. So happy to see cousins Glenda Faye Keith and Donita Little, Cheryl and Charles Farris, Jason Hull and Mackenzie Castaldo, Sherry and David Bridgeman, Samantha Keller and son, Jackson, Jennifer Bridgeman and Brian Metz and Barbara Youtsey.

Everyone seemed to have a good time and Jackson provided our entertainment, even playing peek-a-boo with Donita. We sang happy birthday to Donita and had birthday cupcakes with candle.

Thinking of those that couldn’t be with us today because of health issues.

L Daviess County Sheriff

Daviess County Sheriff’s Office The position of Sheriff is not just a title. A Sheriff is an individual elected by the citizens, who enforces Check us out on Facebook! the law, protects the citizens, their property, and their rights. The Sheriff is also responsible for managing and maintaining an office that will uphold the law, and serve the community in these ways. Other duties include proposing and maintaining an office budget, being an active member of the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail board, working with other departments and agencies. With the exception of serving on the jail board, I have had the opportunity to serve in all of these capacities.

Since being hired to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office in 2009, I have served the community in various responsibilities. Some of those responsibilities include being a road deputy, a bailiff, a Federal Violent Crimes Task Force Officer, a Firearms instructor, a Sergeant, and a Chief Deputy. Outside of the office, I’m a husband, a father, a resident of the county, and a member of local community and church programs.

Protecting and serving is and has always been my passion. While serving as a law enforcement officer for over 19 years, I have gained knowledge, experience, and resources, which I would use to help combat crime and help citizens in their times of need.

With your support, I would be honored to Serve the Community with Respect, Honor, and Integrity as YOUR Sheriff.

What to Fear?

What to Fear?

by Pastor Steve Ellison

So many people these days are afraid. Yes, it seems there is much of which to be afraid. This fallen and cursed world offers much that can hurt you.

GALLATIN Earthquakes, tornadoes, pestilence, anarchists, famine, wild animals, thieves, Church of Christ (108 E. Johnson St.) — Charles Ross, Evangelist; Lord’s Day floods, etc. can all inflict much damage. Does it do any good to fear those services 10 a.m.; Evening services 6 p.m. For transportation, call 663-4061 or 663-3957.

First Baptist Church (511 W. Richardson St.) — Bro. Daniel Pelichowski, Pastor; Bro. things? It might, if it causes you to be careful and prepare. However, no matter Wood Marshall, Youth Pastor. Bible Study 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.; Worship 10:40 a.m. (nursery what one does, there is no guarantee of protection. The Bible says more than provided).
