Daviess County approved to implement ECP aid for land repairs due to flood Mother Nature has been tough on Daviess County the past few months, and especially the last few weeks as there has been extreme flooding in the Grand River bottoms.

Mandi Bird, County Executive Director at the Farm Service Agency in Gallatin, says her office has been working hard to get approval to implement various disaster related programs to assist landowners and producers.

The Daviess County Committee requested approval to implement the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) to assist with the rehabilitation of the land once the water recedes.

The National Office has approved this request and the signup period will begin on July 1 and end on Aug. 30. The important thing to remember is that to qualify you must not start any removal of debris or repairs until an application is made and an FSA representative has made an onsite visit.

With that said, the signup period is 60 days in length, so there is no reason to rush in; but instead you need to have an idea of what needs to be completed on the farm before you apply. This disaster approval is limited to acreage in the Grand River bottoms and large tributaries flowing into the Grand River. For land to be eligible, the natural disaster must create new conservation problems that, if untreated, would: ● Be so costly to rehabilitate that Federal assistance is or will be needed to return the land to productive agricultural use ● Be unusual and not the type that would recur frequently in the same area ● Affect the productive capacity of the farmland

A hole-in-one is a once in a lifetime feat for most golfers of any age. A second hole-in-one in the span of 30 days is truly special. Jack Donovan, 11-year-old son of Jeff and Jenny Donovan of Gallatin, added a second ace to his golfing resume last week while competing in the Northwest Missouri Junior Tour at St. Joseph Country Club.

OPINION

July 3, 2019

Let’s Celebrate!

By Dr. Don Kuehle

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 as a nation. Hear what they have to 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.”

-- A Ballad Of The Boston Tea Party, by Oliver Wendell Holmes

Ralph Waldo Emerson penned these words in “Concord Hymn”:

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

All of us have memorized “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Longfellow:

“Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

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

Laura Richards made famous the name of Molly Pitcher. Born Mary Ludwig, she married an artilleryman named John Hays.

She got the nickname “Pitcher” because she served pitchers of cold water to the soldiers. When her husband was wounded, Molly took over his gun.

“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.”

Power also in the hands of directors

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

When most people envision the people in government, they think of their elected officials – the president, the governor, and the senators and representatives at the state level in Jefferson City and federal level in Washington D.C. These are the people who make the laws we live under by representing the opinions of their constituents. And periodically they are either reconfirmed or ousted from office by election of the people they represent.

But what many do not realize is elected officials are just a small minority of the people who have governmental power. Special interest groups will influence issues and elections through social media and advertising.

Lobbyists try to influence lawmakers and policy developers, and some (not all, but some) in the press will try to influence public opinion by the way they write their articles or air their stories.

But some of the most influential people in government that have immense rule-making power that go largely unknown are department directors.

Missouri Government has 16 departments, each with their own director who has the power under the law to create rules that have the same effect as law.

The Department of Natural Resources makes rules about clean water. The Department of Health

& Senior Services makes rules about medical clinics. The Department of Agriculture makes rules about farming. All of these rules define what the government allows or disallows the public to do every bit as much as a law passed by the legislature.

A key difference, though, is that workers in these departments are largely unknown to the public, and have none of the term limits or campaign finance rules that apply to the people who voters choose to represent them.

The directors of Administration, Agriculture, Corrections, Economic Development, Health, Insurance, Labor, Natural Resources, Public Safety, Revenue, and Social Services are all governor appointed. Usually these people will be replaced whenever a new governor is elected.

The directors of Conservation, K-12 Education, Higher Education, Mental Health, and Transportation are appointed by a board or commission, whose members are appointed by a governor. Once put in charge, the directors then hire their lieutenants and other staff, and a bureaucracy is born. Each of them is in charge of hundreds of government workers that create and execute the rules that affect the lives of all Missourians.

A great summary of who each of these directors and other executive branch leaders are, their backgrounds, and who appointed them can be found at https://tinyurl.com/y4mpjefm.

Reducing flood disaster risks

Francis Scott Key penned these words during the War of 1812:

“O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming!

And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb’s bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there!

O say, does that star-spangled banner still wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh!, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and war’s desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquor we must, for our cause is just, And this be our motto: ‘In God we trust!’

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”

On this Independence Day, what better time than to re-read the words of the poets as they describe our struggle for freedom; to read again the “Preamble To the Constitution”; to re-read the Ten Commandments; to think seriously about the cost of the freedom we too often take for granted; and to find constructive ways to celebrate our Independence as a nation and our freedom as a people!

Congressman Sam Graves has introduced legislation to help Missouri communities recover from this year’s devastating floods and better prepare for future floods.

The bill, the “Resilient Communities Act of 2019” (H.R. 3531), allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide Missouri and other states resources to set up a fund for mitigation projects that reduce disaster risks.

The bill gives local communities greater flexibility for the types of projects that are eligible for disaster funding, compared to FEMA’s existing programs.

“North Missouri has been devastated by this year’s flooding. We’ve got to make sure that our river communities have the ability to recover, as well as prevent future flooding.

“This bill will provide another important tool for our communities, farmers, and businesses to prevent future disasters,” said Rep. Graves, the lead Republican of the U.S. House Commit-

An Independence Day Reminder:

Communities that work together, win together

by Quint Studer

Freedom, independence, self-sufficiency: these are great and glorious concepts. We celebrate them this time of year, whether we process it that way or not, because they’re so deeply engrained in our image of America. We see ourselves as a nation of rugged individualists: seizing the bull by the horns, charting our own course, walking alone into the forest with an axe slung over our shoulder.

Yes, it’s a romantic notion. But it’s not an accurate one. America is a nation of small, tight-knit communities and always has been. The more we cooperate, share, defer to others, and work together, the more successful we are.

I spend my days traveling from one American community to another. Some are bustling larger cities. Others are quiet small towns. What they all have in common is the burning desire to revitalize themselves: to become more vibrant, prosperous, livable, and loveable than they are right now. And as I work with these diverse groups of Americans, I see a theme emerge: Those communities that work together, win together.

When citizens and leaders come together, put their self-interest on the back burner and work as a team, things get done. When they don’t, nothing gets done.

The more you think about the myth of the self-reliant early American, the less likely it seems. Our ancestors must have huddled together in small groups

and worked to protect each other from a harsh and unforgiving environment. They must have joined forces, shared what they had, and leaned on each other when times were tough.

And on the larger stage, our nation’s founders had to work together in a similar fashion to bring America into being. They were working toward independence as a new nation, but they had to rely on interdependence to get there. And as leaders of communities of all shapes and sizes and demographics and political persuasions, we can all learn a lot from them.

Here are four big “history lessons” we should all heed as we seek to move our communities toward vibrancy: ●●Set aside your self-interest and create something that works for everyone.

Lots of different professions, industries, and interests were present at the birth of America. Cabinet makers weren’t fixated only on the wood industry, nor silver smiths on the silver trade. Everyone was fired up to contribute to something bigger than themselves. They bought into the overarching mission, and weren’t bogged down by endless debate over the short-term costs of their plan.

In other words, don’t be overly concerned with your own wellbeing. Setting aside your own short-term best interests may accomplish far more for everyone in the long run. Because a rising tide lifts all boats, this includes you. ●●Don’t let ideological differences stop

you from achieving something tangible.

Despite bitter disputes and differences of opinion, a group of people with little in common other than their shared determination that change was needed were able to get mobilized and get something done. While there was much to be decided about the way things would function in the new nation, they all recognized that there wouldn’t even BE a new nation if they didn’t set aside their disagreements and move the ball down the court.

It’s important to know what matters.

Don’t let petty disputes about how things should get done sabotage the greater task at hand. ●●Don’t be constantly trying to steal the spotlight from each other.

It’s okay to let someone else be “the one in charge.” No one complained that John Hancock’s signature was bigger than theirs, or that so-and-so got to sign the Declaration before they did. (Okay, it’s possible, but we can see by the document that resides in the National Archives that it got done anyway!) The founders kept their focus on the ambitious mission/vision of standing up to one of the most powerful authorities in the world: the King of England.

When we try to make it about ourselves, we can get off track and let our self-absorption derail the project or initiative. Keep the greater goal in mind and stay focused on that. ●●Don’t wait on the government to “fix it.”

Man walks coast-to-coast to advocate for veterans fied by their struggles with drug addiction, alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, unemployment, and lack of medical care.

An avid hiker, William was inspired: “I came home and told my wife, since I walk 20 miles a day anyway, why not walk a straight line to build a coalition to demand changes in our country?”

And so his journey began. William is on a seven-month walk across America from Massachusetts to California. The coast to coast walking tour, which he calls “Vets Don’t Forget Vets,” started in May and will cover 3,600 miles.

Along the way, he talks to any vet he comes across. Sometimes he meets them in small groups at VA Centers, churches, coffee shops, and across dining room tables. In Chillicothe, he met

with veterans at the Elks Lodge.

Earlier on his trek through Missouri, near Monroe City, he met a vet who was a young farmer in overalls.

“This 33-year-old boy has congestive heart failure and congestive lung failure,” William says.

“He helped burn the bombs and munitions belonging to Sadaam Hussein and that’s how he got sick. Now the army is denying he was even over there. He has the papers, the photos. They say the photos are air brushed. All because they don’t want to pay his medical bills. This young man is as honest as the day is long.

I hear story after story. It’s depressing.”

William describes his mission: ●●Get vets to run for office; ●●Eliminate veteran homelessness by 2030;

●●When suicidal veterans call a hotline, go to their house and check on them, don’t just say, ‘here’s a number to call’; ●●Provide veterans with the same medical plan as members of Congress.

William says veterans gave a lot and often have little to show for it. These men and women have little voice in Congress.

“It seems to me, the only job Congress has is to be re-elected,” he says. “When veterans signed up for a job, they put their life on the line. The least our government can do is take care of them.”

William believes Congress has lost sight of America’s values. In 1970 when William went into the military, 75% of Congress was veterans; today it’s only 18%.

“Congress has no clue,” he

Instead, join together and take bold action at the local level. The changes desired by American colonists weren’t coming from Great Britain. And so, in the summer of 1776 delegates from each of the Thirteen Colonies took it upon themselves to challenge British authorities and make change happen—their way.

Citizen-powered change is the most powerful change. If it’s to be, it’s up to you and me, not government agencies.

(Local governments tend not to have the budget to drive fundamental change, and due to election cycles, officials come and go. Many won’t be around to see long term projects through.)

Yes, early communities needed each other and that drove a lot of their interactions. We went through a period of time where we started to believe we didn’t need each other and that clearly isn’t true. We now realize that working together is the only way we can make our cities and towns thrive.

No one is saying America’s founders were perfect. They were far from it, as we are. But one thing they got right was the knowledge that they needed to work together for a common cause. Teamwork is a powerful force. We couldn’t have built a nation without it, and we can’t build a better community without it either.

says. “They’re rich, entitled, and out of contact with the average, ordinary person.”

William is not advocating an increase in funding for veteran causes.

“I’m not asking for another dollar,” he says. “I want to see the money spent more wisely and on the people. Health care for our veterans is a shambles.

Veterans get the run around, constantly fighting red tape, and being denied claims. I don’t think Congress has the moral will or fiber to do the right thing. The American people do. I’ve not met a single person who doesn’t love a veteran.”

William is a retired educator; he is married, with children and grandchildren, and lives in the coastal town of Newburyport, MA. “One of the major things I would like people to know,” he says. “People watch TV. They see the bad news, the shootings, the bombing, the murders and rapes. Put on a pair of these —” he points at his hiking boots “— and start walking. You will find the greatest people, kind, gra-

cious, hard working, honest. A good and decent people who deserve better. At the quilt stores in Hamilton, every employee came outside to greet me.”

William leaves the air conditioner and puts his backpack back on. He says he feels good and has never been in any danger and has never had any trouble with his health, but the pack starts getting heavy before the day is over, “Like somebody put a cement block in there.”

Since May 15, he has averaged 32-33 miles a day. He says he will slow down at St. Joe. “Kansas heat is gonna kill me.”

His wife is flying to Kansas City and then driving to St. Joseph to spend a couple of days with him. It’s the first time he’ll have seen her since his trek began.

Before he leaves to continue his walk down Highway 36, he leaves this message for veterans: “Don’t give up. Demand services. Call Congress, call me, call somebody. People my age give up. They get the run around so much, they finally say, I’m done.

Isn’t that pretty tragic?”

representative has conducted an onsite inspection of the damaged area ●●The Agency responsible for technical assistance, such as the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), has made a needs determination, which may include cubic yards of earthmoving, etc., required for rehabilitation With the flood there unfortunately were livestock losses and livestock feed losses up and down the river. The Livestock

Indemnity Program (LIP) can possibly help with the death of livestock and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) can possibly help with livestock feed losses, such as bales of hay or silage.

The important thing about both programs is that a notice of loss must be filed within 30 days from the date the livestock or feed were lost.

Pink flamingos, ice cream, health fair on summer agenda for DCN&R

By Jennie Ellis, LPN/MBA, Administrator Summer is in full swing at DCN&R and we are celebrating it with ice cream as often as possible. We have been doing a lot of new activities and have enjoyed the variety with cooking classes and more craft times each month.

We would love to have more volunteers for these activities. If you would like to lead a cooking class or host a craft party with our residents, please call us to set up a time on our calendar.

Our Facebook page has been a big hit in the community and in our home. We go to our Facebook page on our smart-TV and the residents really enjoy seeing who has liked or commented on all of our posts.

Interacting with the community in this way has been a wonderful way to keep residents connected with friends and family near and far. Please be sure to like our page at facebook.com/ DaviessCoNursingRehab/ and interact with our posts.

We are starting up a summerfun fundraiser with our Pink Flamingo Flock. If you’d like to send a flock of flamingos to someone in Gallatin, please contact us at (660) 663-2197. For $20 our flock of flamingos will be placed in the front lawn of any Gallatin home you choose. There’s a $10 fee to have the flock removed.

Independence Day is always a fun time; we are going to have a cookout and a few fireworks on Thursday evening (weather permitting). The residents always enjoy the Jones family’s homemade ice cream each year on the 4th.

Last, but not least, on July 27 from 6-11 a.m., we will be having

Bridge work stops for July 4 holiday Most routine work zones will stop at noon Wednesday, July 3, and resume at 7 a.m. Friday, July 5, for the Independence Day holiday, but some closures may remain in place.

The following is a list of general highway maintenance and construction work the Missouri Department of Transportation has planned for Daviess County for the week of July 1-7: Route KK – closed for bridge rehabilitation at the I-35 overpass through mid-July.

Route 6 – Bridge maintenance July 1-7 at the Grand River Bridge and the Overflow Bridge.

This includes a 12-foot width restriction.

Continued flooding may cause schedule changes in some of the planned work. There may also be moving operations throughout the region such as pothole patching, striping, signal work, etc., in addition to the work mentioned.

All work is weather permitting and subject to change.

our first annual health fair. This will be a free event for anyone to attend. We will have door prizes, free biscuits and gravy breakfast, and blood pressure checks.

Cameron Regional Medical Center has graciously offered to provide laboratory services at no charge.

We will offer the following labs at no cost: Lipid Panel, Glucose, H&H, Iron, BUN, Creatinine,TSH and Free T4. Your primary physician may send an order for any additional tests to CRMC. (Any additional tests will be billed out, and you will be responsible for the cost.)

Several other area health related businesses will be set up at the health fair with information about the various health services available in the community. We hope to see everyone here.

Gilman City woman seriously injured in wreck A Gilman City woman received serious injuries in a onevehicle accident that happened in Harrison County at about 9:05 p.m. on June 27.

According to the highway patrol, Denise Wilgus, 35, Gilman City, was driving a 2014 Hyundai Accent westbound on Route H. About five miles west of Gilman City her vehicle traveled off the west side of the roadway and struck a ditch. It came to rest off the south side of the roadway on its wheels, facing north.

Ms. Wilgus was transported

by NTA to Cameron Regional Medical Center. She was wearing her seat belt. The Hyundai was totaled.

The accident was investigated

by Tpr. D.M. Wilburn, assisted by Cpl. B.R. Hilliard and Harrison County Sheriff’s Department.

Contractors from Capital Paving and Construction, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, continue to progress on a bridge rehabilitation project in Daviess County.

Beginning Monday, July 8, crews plan to close the Route C (Pattonsburg) bridge over Interstate 35. The bridge is expected to reopen in mid-September.

Both Route C and KK bridges in Daviess County will be closed for approximately two weeks while crews work to finish the Route KK improvements.

The rehabilitation schedule for Daviess County is: Route KK bridge – May 20 through mid-July Route C bridge – July 8 through mid-Sept.

Route DD bridge – September through November Route B/N bridge – September through November Due to Route C being utilized as a detour for the Route DD and B/N rehabilitations, it was moved forward in the schedule. During the bridge projects, the bridges will be closed. Motorists should follow signed detour routes.

Interstate traffic will also be affected. For safety reasons, no traffic will be permitted under the bridges during demolition.

Interstate traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction and all traffic will be routed up and over the on and off ramps at the exit. Any reduction of lanes on I-35 will be completed during nighttime hours between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. All work and schedules are weather permitting.

Clinton County’s U.S. Route 69 bridge south of Cameron is completed.

Boil order lifted The boil advisory which was issued by PWSD #1 of Daviess County on June 21 was lifted on June 27. It was due to a break in a water line and affected customers in DeKalb County.

Jamesport allows comp time The Jamesport City Council carried a motion to allow comp time after approval during their meeting held June 10 at Jamesport City Hall.

Members in attendance were Rob Murphy, Gary Alexander, Geoff Eads and Freda Garner and Mayor Dana Urton.

Police chief offers wise advice for Fourth activities

July 1, 2009 Ed Miller with State Aerial Farm Statistics was traveling around the country last week selling reproductions from aerial photographs taken by his company about 30 years ago.

He came across a vintage photo showing the original location of the authentic log house that is now sitting in the roadside park south of town. The log house was moved in 1991 by the Gallatin Lions Club from land owned by Ted Miller just south of the Nile Frost farm on DD Highway.

Terrill Wood, Levi Michener and Colton Selby attended American Legion Boys State in Warrensburg from June 13-20.

The Gallatin Lions Club, Gallatin Rotary Club and Gallatin Men’s Club sponsored the young men.

July 7, 1999 Workmen on Monday used a crane to put a new 4,000 pound heating/air conditioning unit on its rooftop pad of the Gallatin High School building. The high school improvement project is expected to be finished before the start of the academic year.

Today’s local grain markets throughout Northwest Missouri post corn prices at $1.65 per bushel and soybeans at $3.65 per bushel. Nearly every other economic indicator in agriculture points to hard times.

July 5, 1989 Among the 155 high school juniors and seniors who attended the 27th Annual Missouri Freedom Forum at the Missouri Military Academy campus in Mexico were Gallatin High School students Sarah Cragg, Jennifer Pendleton, Lara Taverna and Melinda Stewart.

Three Daviess County students performed in the Missouri Lions All-State Band recently at the International Lions Club Convention in Miami, FL. They were Melinda Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Stewart of Gallatin; Vickie King, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne King of Jamesport; and Barbara Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Brown, also of Jamesport.

Craig Cummings won his first professional fight over an Israeli opponent by a third round TKO in a scheduled four-round bout at Madison Square Garden in New York last Thursday. The Gallatin native roughed up his opponent, giving the fighter from Israel a cut over his eye which prompted the referee to end the fight.

July 4, 1979 The south side of the business square in Gallatin brightened up this week when Elbert’s Department Store renovated its business front with new stone masonry. Oddly enough, the

work began last Tuesday — 17 years to the day that the Elbert Hotel burned down on the north side of the square.

The United Methodist Church installed the old church bell above the new bulletin board Monday. The project was complated by Burl Hisle and Edgar Muller.

The Missouri State Fair in Sedalia will feature top-flight entertainment, Aug. 17-26, including Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, Bill Anderson and the Charlie Daniels Band.

July 3, 1969 A small twister or straight line winds cut a path through sections of Daviess County Thursday night, resulting in heavy property damage, heavy damage to hundreds of trees and at least one injury. Mrs. Ava Pugh, who is in Missouri Methodist Hospital, was struck on the head by a limb and a board which struck her on the foot. She was shutting up her chickens at the time. One of the oddities of the storm was found in the yard of Mrs. Harold Beck of Jameson.

The wind drove a large splinter of wood through the body of an unlucky bird.

Army Specialist 4 Charles E. Wortman, son of Mrs. Ruth E. Bradley, Gallatin, is a cannoneer in Battery C, 7th Battalion of the 25th Infantry Division’s 11th Field Artillery serving near Tay Ninh, near the Cambodian border.

July 2, 1959 The new Wabash depot here is much smaller and less ornate than the 85-year-old relic it replaces, but it is compact, neat and attractive and ample for today’s requirements. The old depot has been razed and workmen this week are demolishing the foundation.

July 7, 1949 Daviess County is 24 miles square, 33½ miles from southwest to northeast corner and 34½ miles from northwest to southeast corner. In the extreme southeast corner the Charles Hilt family resides and in the extreme northwest corner lives John A. Pittzenbarger and family. In the extreme southwest corner lives James McLaughlin and family, while in the distant northeast corner lives Miss Ethel Herrin. The exact center of our county is nearest the home of Jack Gibbons and family, Union Township.

Formal announcement was made this week of the impending sale of the Gallatin Truck & Tractor Co., International Harvester dealer for Daviess County, headed by R.H. (Russ) Trapnell and R.S. McClelland, Sr. The business is for sale due to the illness of Russ Trapnell.

The Fourth of July is quickly approaching and several local fireworks stands have opened.

Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards would like to take this opportunity to wish the citizens of Gallatin a safe and happy Fourth of July and to point 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,

Deficit spending due to improvements at Winston School

The Winston R-6 School Board adopted the proposed 2019-2020 budget during their meeting June 17. The budget expects revenues of $2,527,281 and expenditures of $2,725,366 for a deficit budget of $198,085. The deficit budget is due to $200,000 of capital improvements anticipated during the 2019-2020 school year. The regular operating budget is projected to be a surplus of $1,915.

The following bids were accepted: propane from Ferrellgas; and milk from Hiland Dairy.

The tuition rate for non-resident students was set for next school year at the current rate of $5,000 per student per year.

The board approved the transfer of funds from Fund 1 (Incidental) to Fund 2 (Teachers) to zero out Fund 2 for the end of the 2018-2019 fiscal year; transportation transfer from Fund 1 (Incidental) to Fund 4 (Capital Projects) in the amount of $26,000; and from Fund 1 (Incidental) to Fund 4 (Capital Projects) in the amount of $162,326 to cover capital expenditures for the 2019-2020 school year.

The 2018-2019 budget was amended to match the actual revenues and expenditures for the 2018-2019 school year.

Aug. 15 will be the first day of school for school year 2019-20.

The next regular board meeting is scheduled for July 15 at 7 p.m.

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 as-

Hey Kids! Join the fun!

Vacation

pect 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 hundreds 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.

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.

Please have a fun and safe holiday. If you have any questions regarding fireworks or any other ordinances you can contact the Gallatin Police Department at 660-663-3580.

by Dr. Don Kuehle

“These are times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he who stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman! Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet, we have this consolation with us -- that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.”

– Thomas Paine on Dec. 23, 1776 During 1776 the colonists were in a life and death struggle against the superior forces of Great Britain. There was no assurance that they could win this war. The struggle has gone through the spring and summer and fall of 1776. Now, Washington's troops were encamped at Valley Forge, trying to stay warm and dry in the bitter harsh freezing New England winter. The weather is extremely cold; food and supplies are scarce; medicine is scarce; many of the men have deserted and gone home. The situation was so critical that it caused Thomas Paine to write “These are times that try men's souls….”

What was true in 1776 is still true today! The church is at war with an un-Godly society.

• Once life was sacred, valued, considered precious. Not so today: a teen shoots his fellow students; someone plants a bomb and kills 50 people. Many families suffer violence and abuse.

• Once we had respect for those in authority. Not so today: people rebel against all authority, even God's authority. They have no respect for people, nor for their property.

• Once we valued honesty and decency. Not so today: We value only what makes us happy; we care only about ourselves.

• Once we had stable families. Not so today: our society has re-defined “family” in the most un-Godly ways, and destroyed “family” as God designed it to be.

• Once we honored our nation. Not so today: we no longer believe in what the Founders of our nation believed. Too many of us no longer believe that America is the greatest nation in the world, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The conflict between the Church and an un-Godly world is real. The battle will be long and hard. But Christians cannot afford to be “summer soldiers.” The victory will be won by those who endure to the bitter end. Soldiers of Christ arise, fight on -for the victory is ours!

50 years ago it rained and rained …a lake and a highway got built, other plans were a washout

Does this comment sound familiar?

“There seems to be no end to the intensive rainstorms which have lashed the area the past two weeks.”

This sentence was taken from a story in the North Missourian written 50 years ago, on July 10, 1969. The headline was “Wet Weather Poses Threat to Daviess

County Crops.” Then, as now, farmers’ crops were being damaged by the unusually wet weather, and getting the hay crop out was another pressing problem.

The lake that didn’t happen The long awaited announcement on the location of the proposed new town of Pattonsburg also happened 50 years ago on Sept. 3, 1969, when Mayor Lloyd Pettit, indicating there was no longer any reason to keep the secret, revealed that community leaders hoped to move to a commanding site about four miles north of the present town.

The new site included an 18-hole golf course and an airport. The planning also envisioned a boat harbor, public marina, a promontory park on the waterfront, and other boating and tourism facilities. The lake didn’t happen, of course. Pattonsburg did move out of the flood plain after the devastating flood of 1993, resettling up the hill in 1994.

Despite heavy rains 50 years ago, work progressed on the Highway 6 bypass, which began at the S-curve, about two miles west of Gallatin, and proceeded easterly at the north edge of the city at Wabash Crossing and beyond. The project included three bridges, one over Route MM, which led to Hillcrest and Brown cemeteries, one over Grand River and another smaller one over a creek east of the Norfolk & Western tracks.

Failed proposal to relocate Pattonsburg

Overflow tower at Lake Viking

A Monday night (Sept. 22, 1969) five-inch rain and a recent four-incher added materially to the water level at Lake Viking some 50 years ago. This is the overflow tower when it was under construction while the lake’s water line was quite some distance away. Soon the lake water line was lapping near the tower’s wings and officials were saying another 10 feet of water would put the lake at capacity.

Highway 6 & 13 Grand River Bridge at Wabash Crossing

The placing of the center span on the new bridge over Grand River closed the gap between the east and west banks for the first time on June 23, 1969. Persons who had wondered how the contractor planned to lift the span into place got to see how he built a temporary dike half across the river so that the crane could get into proper position. In addition, a large block of concrete was placed just behind the cab as a counterbalance to keep the crane out of the Grand River.

The newspaper article added that “A little high water and this embankment will be gone.” Jerry Houghton remembers that high rains caused the spans to move and they had to be done twice. He was in seventh grade and was walking home and he and his father watched the bridge being built from a distance. He said the river came around the columns on the east and they had to be redone.

Floating dock strays at Lake Viking

This floating dock, normally moored to the bank, is seen about 15 feet out from shore, with a capsized boat alongside, both the result of the Sept. 22, 1969, downpour.
