Treasury, IRS extend filing deadline and federal taxes regardless of amount owed The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced earlier this year that the federal income tax filing due date is automatically extended from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020.

Taxpayers can also defer federal income tax payments due on April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed.

This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations, and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay selfemployment tax.

Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline, can request a filing extension by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov.

Businesses who need additional time must file Form 7004.

The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds are still being issued within 21 days.

“Even with the filing deadline extended, we urge taxpayers who are owed refunds to file as soon as possible and file electronically,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig.

“Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds. Although we are curtailing some operations during this period, the IRS is continuing with mission-critical operations to support the nation, and that includes accepting tax

Second Harvest Community Food Bank of St. Joseph served 193 families/600 individuals during a Fresh Mobile Pantry at the Seventh Day Food Bank in Gallatin held on June 30.

This was the second Mobile Pantry at Seventh Day and was twice as successful as the first.

The Daviess County Food Bank is housed within the Gallatin Adventist Community Services Center located at 1210 Willow Street. The food drop was used because Second Harvest had an excess of produce and was a one-time event. For the food drop, there were no income requirements and no area residential requirements.

The Food Bank will be brought back inside the building on July 14. The free room is not yet open. Free things will be moved outside on the Food Bank/Willow Street side.

Absentee balloting now underway The upcoming Primary Election may still be weeks away, but absentee voting during this time of pandemic is already started.

The last day to mail out an absentee ballot in Daviess County is July 22.

One decision of local importance will be determined by those choosing a Republican ballot. The only declared candidates for Sheriff of Daviess County all appear on the Republican ballot: Kyle Cornett of Pattonsburg, Larry Adams Jr. of Jamesport, and Tyler Miller of Pattonsburg.

Whoever wins the nomination in the Aug. 4 primary will have no Democrat opponent declared for the November election.

Another Primary decision with local impact is the office of

county assessor. Republicans Aaron Piburn of Winston and Joshua Ty Lisle of Jamesport will face off Aug. 4, with the winner advancing to challenge incumbent Democrat Sally Black in November.

There are no other local decisions in the Primary. The position of Second District Commissioner will be decided in the General Election, however, with incumbent Republican Wayne Uthe facing Democrat challenger Greg Houghton in November.

State Representative J. Eggleston of Osborn, Republican, will also see a race in the General Election, against Mindi Smith of Union Star, a Democrat.

Any voter may vote absentee mail ballot by stopping by or call-

ing the Daviess County Clerk’s office for an application. The Missouri legislature has established some different rules for absentee ballots for elections in both August and November due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More details about absentee voting as well as sample ballots were printed in last week’s newspaper edition. Voters must choose a party ballot to cast a vote: Republican, Democrat, Green, Constitution, Libertarian or Non-Partisan (amendment only). Not all county races appear on every ballot.

On Aug. 5 voting in Daviess County will be conducted at five polling places located at Gallatin, Jameson, Jamesport, Pattonsburg and Altamont.

Bruno the Bear becomes a celebrity as he enters into Missouri In the image from the Illinois State Police on June 29, a bear is shown crossing a highway. “Smokey the Bear ‘Bruno’ crossed I-72 at milepost 23 in Pike County, near Barry, IL at approximately 3:05 pm today,” the department said.

The bear named “Bruno” by social media was sedated and transported to safety on Sunday by MDC staff.

The adult male bear who attracted public attention and was christened “Bruno” by social media has been sedated and transported to suitable habitat outside the urban area, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).

The bear is suspected to have traveled from Wisconsin, through Illinois, and into Missouri. He was first spotted in the Show-Me-State near Elsberry on June 30, after which he made his way into St. Charles County. MDC staff received reports of the bear as he continued to travel through Missouri.

MDC conservation agents say the bear appeared within the city limits of Wentzville the morning of July 5 and cornered himself just north of I-70 and near I-40/61.

MDC Protection Captain Scott Corley credited the St. Charles County and Wentzville Police Departments for their as-

sistance in the situation and in managing the crowd of more than 400 onlookers who gathered at the scene.

“The bear found itself in a tough spot, stuck by several major roadways,” said MDC State Furbearer Biologist Laura Conlee. “Due to the proximity to the roadways, coupled with the busy travel day, MDC staff determined the bear had little chance of safely leaving the area on its

own. In the interest of public safety and the bear’s safety, MDC staff made the decision to immobilize the bear and transport it to a nearby area of suitable bear habitat outside this urban corridor.”

MDC staff specially trained in wildlife handling successfully sedated the bear.

The bear’s condition was monitored by MDC’s State Wildlife Veterinarian Dr. Sherri Russel. The bear was safely trans-

ported to an area of suitable habitat outside the urban area and was released unharmed when he awoke.

MDC does not generally immobilize dispersing bears and will only take this action as a last resort. Given the bear’s location and safety considerations, staff on scene determined this was necessary and the situation allowed for it to be done.

“MDC thanks local law enforcement for their assistance in managing the large crowd of interested onlookers and for assistance with the bear,” Conlee added.

“Given the bear’s location and crowd, this assistance was critical to the success of this situation.”

Although this bear’s movements are a bit out of the norm, bears can traverse large distances and MDC frequently receives reports of bears throughout the southern half of Missouri where MDC estimates there are between 540-840 bears.

Missouri’s bear population is growing approximately 9% annually. Dispersing bears have appeared in the St. Louis area before, a trend that is likely to continue with the growing bear population.

The bear attracted extensive attention on social media for a combined total of more than 120,000 followers.

OPINION

July 8, 2020

What would Mary say?

I’ve been spending more time in Warrensburg recently, where (as of Monday) face masks are mandatory anytime you’re out and about anywhere in public. So, even at risk of a $500 fine, would you refuse to wear a face mask to help fight coronavirus?

Perhaps a history lesson is in order.

Mary Mallon (1869-1938) is always a reference when mentioning the compliance of the laws concerning public health issues. The pandemic of her times was typhoid, a bacterial infection that can lead to a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Today we know the infection is often passed on through contaminated food and drinking water, and it is more prevalent in places where handwashing is less frequent.

Annually, there are around 5,700 cases in the United States — and 75% of these involve international travel. If typhoid is caught early, it can be successfully treated with antibiotics; if it is not treated, typhoid can be fatal. Death is due to the bacteria Salmonella typhi.

What makes Mary Mallon relevant in today’s coronavirus pandemic is that she was the first known case of a “healthy carrier” in the United States. Eventually, it was proven that Mary was responsible for contaminating at least 122 persons leading to 5 deaths

by Darryl Wilkinson before she was discovered. And thereafter she fought authorities and persistently denied the risks every step of the way.

Mary was born in what is now Northern Ireland. Today we presume she was born with typhoid because her mother was infected during pregnancy. But Mary never showed the symptoms.

At age 15 she migrated to New York City and eventually worked as a cook for eight families, seven of which contracted typhoid. Any pattern which might have revealed her spread of the disease was hard to discover because Mary typically departed for somewhere else soon after typhoid occurred in any family she served.

Mary had no reason to suspect herself; she was healthy. Investigators typically took water samples from pipes, faucets, toilets and the cesspools. What confused investigators was how so many cases of typhoid seemed to strike well-to-do families who were not typically exposed to unsanitary environments.

Eventually, one of the investigators, George Soper, focused on an outbreak in Oyster Bay. He connected how the same female Irish cook had been present in the previous outbreaks involving eight wealthy families. But when he confronted Mary in the kitchen to explain how she might possibly be spreading the disease, Mary was infuriated and threatened him with a carving fork!

At the time, Mary was about 40 years of age — tall, heavy, and single. She seemed in perfect health. The concept of healthy carriers was unknown, even to healthcare workers. So, Mary continued to host the bacteria, contaminating everything around her.

Beginning in March of 1907, Soper started stalking Mary in Manhattan. His attempts to obtain samples of Mary’s feces, urine, and blood only earned him Mary’s wrath. But finally, when he found out where Mary’s lover lived, Soper arranged for a doctor and police to converge to force her cooperation – which only occurred after five hours of confrontation!

That year about 3,000 New Yorkers were infected with Salmonella typhi (immunization was not developed until 1911; an antibiotic was not available until 1948). Mary was probably the main reason for the outbreak.

The story is sad. Mary Mallon was forced into quarantine on two separate occasions for a total of 26 years. In 1909 Mary unsuccessfully sued the health department. No one attempted to explain the signifi-

Your choice on expanding Medicaid Amendment 2 among ballot decisions facing voters on Aug. 4 Missouri voters go to the polls on Aug. 4 to decide a proposed constitutional amendment to expand Medicaid for an estimated 300,000 low-income residents. It is on the ballot as Amendment 2.

Current COVID-19 circumstances underscore the importance of expanding Medicaid access due to the number of Missourians who have lost jobs during the pandemic. In May, 923,000 Missourians were enrolled in Medicaid – up 75,000 from February.

But those opposed to expansion say Missouri can’t afford the expense. Gov. Mike Parson has been vocally opposed to Medicaid expansion. The Trump Administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the law that made expansion possible, the Affordable Care Act. If Missouri approves the measure, Missouri will become the 38th state to expand Medicaid.

Oklahoma passed the measure in June, the fifth state to do so by a statewide vote (joining Idaho, Maine, Nebraska, and Utah). But

Ballot Language: Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to ● adopt Medicaid Expansion for persons 19 to 64 years old with an income level at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, as set forth in the Affordable Care Act ● prohibit placing greater or additional burdens on eligibility or enrollment standards, methodologies or practices on persons covered under Medicaid Expansion than on any other population eligible for Medicaid; and ● require state agenciers to take all actions necessary to maximize federal financial participation in funding medical assistance under Medicaid Expansion?

the proposal was decided by a slim 1% margin with just seven of 77 counties passing expansion; Oklahoma City and Tulsa effectively decided the outcome.

Proponents of Medicaid expansion present the following “talking points” about the ballot proposal: • Amendment 2 would allow up to 300,000 more Missourians to have access to healthcare • More access to healthcare and preventative care means fewer using the ER as their main source of healthcare which improves our state’s health outcomes and eases the financial strain on hospitals • Amendment 2 will bring $1 billion of our own tax dollars back from Washington D.C. to Missouri • Expanding Medicaid will

help keep rural hospitals open and protect thousands of health care jobs A study released in June from the Missouri Foundation for Health concludes that Medicaid expansion will create more than 16,000 new jobs annually over its first five years, with nearly 80% of those from outside of the healthcare industry. And 90% of the new jobs would pay more than $15 an hour, with most of the new positions located outside of St Louis and Kansas City.

A 2019 study by the Center for Health Economics and Policy at Washington University in St. Louis shows that Medicaid expansion would save the state as much as $1.3 billion by 2026, with the additional federal dollars offsetting current state health spending.

The Missouri state auditor has also issued a report acknowledging that Medicaid expansion could save the state up to $1 billion dollars a year, given the 900% return on investment that Medicaid expansion would deliver to the state.

Savings would come from the return of more than $1 billion of Missouri tax dollars every year from Washington. While the state would contribute 10% of the expansion costs, it is already spending existing resources for health care services at a far lower federal reimbursement rate.

Examining the governor’s ire due to a simple question This column is prompted by a simple question asked of the governor at one of his news conferences.

Missouri had reached a peak level of COVID-19 infections. That record was set after Missouri Gov. Mike Parson relaxed state restrictions that were designed to reduce virus transmission. It led to a simple question to the governor: “Do you feel any personal responsibility for the people who have been infected and don’t recover after you chose to reopen the state?”

The governor denied feeling responsible. But in a tactic used by Pres. Donald Trump, Parson attacked the reporter.

“I don’t even know even where you come up with that question of personal responsibility as governor of the State of Missouri when you’re talking about a virus. You know, that’s no different than the flu virus or do I feel guilty because we have car accidents and people die every day. No I don’t feel guilty about that.”

But COVID-19 is something far more serious than the typical seasonal flu. And, highway safety is part of his administration’s responsibilities, including promotion of seat belt use.

To be candid, I would have phrased the question differently, asking “was it a

mistake to open so early or not scale back when infection rates began to increase.”

But the reporter’s question had a legitimate foundation.

As some states have demonstrated, not rushing to re-open business made a difference. And some states restored restrictions after infection rates rose.

Besides denying responsibility for COVID-19

by Phill infection rates, Parson then engaged in a deflecBrooks tion by badgering the reporter about her personal responsibility.

“I could ask the same thing for the media. Maybe you don’t do a good-enough job really telling the people the facts. Do you feel responsible for that...do you feel responsible if you say things that people don’t agree with or things that might harm somebody?”

I confess, that as a former journalism faculty member, I was upset listening to his hostile response to a younger colleague. However, I was impressed by her journalistic courage pursuing the question which embodied a number of issues facing the administration: Given the horrific pictures of jammed

crowds at Lake of the Ozarks, is there more the state could do to restrict infection-spreading gatherings? Should the order restricting crowds at restaurants and other businesses be restored?

Why does the governor refuse to wear a face mask when so many health experts argue that face masks are an important step to reduce the spread of COVID-19?

Would wearing a face mask be a demonstration for the public?

The harshness of Parson’s response surprised me. I’ve always found him to be a polite and respectful person. It made me wonder if his response reflected his frustrations, which I fully understand.

This disease has wrecked the economy in the months before Parson faces re-election. Without a vaccine or guaranteed cure for COVID-19, there are no easy answers on how to balance economic recovery with health protection. Finally, I’m sure there are many Missourians upset by the Parson administration’s initial restrictions.

To the governor’s credit, he did answer some of these issues in a subsequent news conference. But humiliating a reporter is

Celebrating the USS Kansas City

By Congressman Sam Graves

On July 4, 1776, America declared its independence from England. Less than a year before that declaration, two ships were commissioned to intercept British goods and ammunition. That stands as the founding of the Continental Navy, now the United States Navy.

At the time, the British Navy was known for its power and might. The United States was bold in its move to take it head on. The Continental Navy ultimately played a critical role in the success of our country in the Revolutionary War. Today we’re still commissioning new ships into the U.S Navy and they are vital to the defense of our freedom.

Last month, the USS Kansas City was officially commissioned into the U.S. Navy.

A littoral combat ship, Kansas City’s namesake ship is designed to hunt submarines and it will be one of the fastest in the Navy.

The USS Kansas City has 10 street signs from Kansas City, including 18th and Vine. In addition, the crew galley is named in honor of baseball legend Buck O’Neil.

The commissioning ceremony was held in San Diego, California, which will serve as the homeport for the new ship. While COVID-19 restricted the ceremony, the Navy hopes to commemorate this historic event with the sponsor, crew, and commissioning committee.

The USS Kansas City is more than just a tip-of-the-hat to Kansas City, it will help expand the reach and capability of our Navy. As one of the fastest in the fleet, the USS Kansas City will counter threats from diesel submarines, mines, and fast surface craft. It’s an honor that this state-of-the art combat ship bears the name of Kansas City.

My hats off to the men and women aboard the USS Kansas City, as well as all of our military members. Thank you for protecting and defending the freedoms we hold dear.

Graves’ take on the House Speaker’s Partisan Infrastructure Wish List: As ranking member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Congressman Sam Graves released the following statement following House passage of the Speaker’s partisan infrastructure wish list (H.R. 2): “If the Speaker had taken this seriously, the House would have passed a consensus surface transportation infrastructure bill that could move highway, bridge, and transit projects forward with commonsense policies.

“If this effort had been taken seriously, the House would have voted to empower our states and local communities to move ahead with longterm transportation plans and projects to help rural and urban communities alike, providing a

dose of desperately needed stability during one of the most uncertain times for transportation sectors and workers that I can remember.

“But that’s not the bill the House approved today. The House passed a bill to appease the Majority’s most liberal Members by turning our transportation system upside down with unworkable Green New Deal requirements.

By passing this bill, the Speaker would rather heap an irresponsible amount of debt onto our children instead of seeking market-driven, collaborative, bipartisan solutions to improve our infrastructure.

“To put it simply, the House passed a bill that won’t get signed into law and won’t do anything for our infrastructure.”

not an answer.

As for Parson’s question to the reporter, journalists always feel responsible to assure accurate stories with enough depth and context as possible. Frequently, we do wish we had more time and space for our stories.

And, yes, journalists make mistakes. I have. Journalism is a pursuit of humans who are not perfect. But we admit our mistakes, promptly correct them and try to learn from our errors to avoid a repetition.

For reporters relatively new to the intimidating environment of the statehouse, I’d urge the governor to seek to inspire, not badger nor humiliate. That’s what governors like Warren Hearnes and Kit Bond did when I began covering the statehouse, despite my reputation for blunt and aggressive questions -- like the perfectly legitimate question asked of Parson that prompted his outburst.

Editor’s note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Journalism. He has covered every governor since the late Warren Hearnes.

Getting back to work

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

From my perspective, our state is slowly getting back to the way of life we knew before the COVID-19 pandemic overtook us.

As our state enters the second phase of the governor’s “ShowMe Strong Recovery Plan,” all statewide COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. Stores and restaurants are reopening, employees are going back to work and some Missourians are starting to travel again.

As our state begins the process of reopening, it also means the return of certain unemployment requirements that were lifted during the pandemic.

Starting this week, the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLIR) is requiring people who receive unemployment benefits to actively look for work. This includes those who receive Unemployment Insurance (UI), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Extended Benefits (EB) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC).

An active work search includes filing out a job application or attending a job fair, job interview, re-employment service or skills workshop.

At the same time, DOLIR has reinstated the one-week waiting period for filing a claim, which means a person who files for unemployment will not see benefits for one week after filing.

Once that person is approved to receive benefits, the department will make up the one week’s difference on the claim’s final payment.

The department also reminds everyone to report any earnings and work refusals when they file an unemployment claim. People can learn more about these rules by going to labor.mo.gov or labor. mo.gov/coronavirus.

COVID-19 has done a lot of damage to our state, but Missourians are strong, and we want to get back to work. We can and we will, it will just take time and patience. As our state moves forward, I have every confidence we will see good news regarding our state’s economy in the weeks to come.

Spike: What would Mary say? cance of her being a “carrier;” instead, authorities offered to remove her gall bladder and tried treating her with such remedies as Hexamethylenamin, laxatives, Urotropin, and brewer’s yeast. At the time, nobody knew how to fight typhoid (doesn’t that sound familiar?).

The medical authorities were confused; theories about the spread of typhoid were contradictory. Meanwhile, Mary had rights, didn’t she?

In 1910 a new health commissioner freed Mary after she agreed to stipulations about future employment as a cook. She was released. But she reneged.

She used another name (Mary Brown) and started working again in the cuisines of her unsuspecting employers, threatening public health once more.

She soon contaminated at least 25 people, doctors, nurses and staff in three months working as a cook at Sloane Maternity in Manhattan. Two of them died. This is how her nickname “Typhoid Mary” became synonymous with the spread of disease, as so many were infected due to

(from page 2)

her denial of being a healthy carrier.

Mary Mallon died without friends although, it is said, she found consolation in her religion to which she gave her faith and loyalty. A post mortem revealed that she shed the bacteria from her gallstones. Ironically, had she not denied that offer for a gall bladder operation, perhaps she would not have earned that nickname “Typhoid Mary.”

By the time she died in 1938, New York health officials had identified more than 400 other healthy carriers — but no one else was forcibly confined or victimized or labeled “unclean” like a leper. Just Typhoid Mary.

How do we balance the threat to individual freedom with a necessary sacrifice for public health?

That rhetorical question is certainly at the forefront during these coronavirus pandemic times. And, yes, the details involving the typhoid outbreak in 1900-09 are different from today’s COVID-19. But if Mary knew what we know today, what Mary would say?

Conditions ripe for ergot this year Source: Tim Schnakenberg, 417-357-6812 University of Missouri Extension specialists warn livestock producers to be on the lookout for ergot this year.

A cool, cloudy and wet spring with a prolonged flowering period was followed by high temperatures and humidity, setting the stage for infection, says Tim Schnakenberg, field specialist in agronomy.

Ergot is a fungal disease of the seed heads of grasses and cereal crops. Ergot bodies in seed heads produce toxic alkaloids that can cause severe illness and death in cattle, horses, small ruminants, llamas, alpacas and swine. The toxins are chemically related to LSD. Humans also can become ill if they eat infected rye or wheat.

“It is believed that the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 resulted from hallucinations and unusual behaviors caused by eating bread made from infected flour,” Schnakenberg says.

Wind transfers overwintering ergot bodies (sclerotia) in the soil to susceptible plants, including tall fescue, orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, timothy, perennial ryegrass, millet, rye, triticale, wheat, oats and barley. Ergot can also infect native warm-season grasses.

Affected cattle may become excitable and show signs that mimic respiratory disease. In severe cases, reduced blood flow can lead to gangrene, irregular blood temperatures, reproductive failure and abortion.

Schnakenberg says farmers and ranchers should watch pastures for infection, especially in tall fescue fields. Infected seed heads initially look like yellow honeydew on the heads. This develops into darkened, hornlike ergot bodies that are up to 10 times the size of the grain. They look like mouse droppings.

Producers should immediately move livestock from infected pastures. Another option is to clip pastures. This lets infected seeds drop to the ground, where cattle are less apt to eat them. Dilute infected harvested hay with other feed.

Producers frequently ask

Schnakenberg if this toxin is the same toxin produced internally by an endophyte in Kentucky 31 tall fescue. The source of the infection is very different, he says, but both produce ergot alkaloids.

“The toxin infection with ergot is much greater compared to fescue toxicosis, leading to quicker and more pronounced symptoms in cattle.”

Novel-endophyte fescue is not immune to ergot problems. Internal sources of ergot alkaloids are reduced but the external infection source from ergot can be just as toxic.

High heat and humidity following a cool, cloudy and wet spring created the right conditions for ergot. It appears most commonly in Missouri’s predominant forage, tall fescue. Photo courtesy of John Kleiboeker, Stott City.

By Andy Luke, MU Field Specialist in Agronomy Potato leafhoppers have been found in area alfalfa fields lately. Farmers should scout their fields.

Potato leafhoppers are tiny insects that feed on more than 100 plant species including soybeans, clovers, alfalfa, and apples. They do not overwinter in Missouri, but arrive on jet streams from southern states and Mexico. Once they make it to Missouri, we often get two to three generations of potato leafhoppers per year.

Damage from potato leafhoppers occurs when both adults and nymphs are feeding. The tiny, pale green insect has piercing-sucking mouthparts that penetrate alfalfa leaflets and remove plant juices, causing yellowing of the established plants.

The yellowing generally begins as wedge-shaped yellow areas on the leaf tips, but can expand to turn the entire leaf yellow. In heavy infestations, the entire field can exhibit a yellow appearance.

The best way to scout for potato leafhopper is using a sweep net. The adults are approximately 1/8 of an inch, so spotting them in the field can be difficult. Take 10 pendulum sweeps at five random locations in the field, then average the number of potato leafhopper adults and nymphs per sweep to use in the treatment threshold table.

The economic threshold in alfalfa for treatment of potato leafhoppers is based on hay value, control costs and the size of the alfalfa. Several insecticides are labeled for leafhopper control, but fields can be re-infested by insects from neighboring fields.

If the alfalfa is nearing harvest, cutting it will disrupt the life cycle of the feeding nymphs who will starve or be destroyed before regrowth occurs. It is important to start scouting 7-10 days after each cutting to monitor for reinfestations, though.

News reports about a large, gooey mass of what might have been plasmodial slime mold is said to have inspired the 1958 science fiction movie “The Blob.”

Dog vomit slime mold is thriving

Fuligo septica, also known as “dog vomit slime mold,” is the latest slimy woodland thing to slither into 2020’s wet spring and summer.

When it first appears, this peculiar species of plasmodial slime mold looks like bright yellow scrambled eggs, says University of Missouri Extension turf pathologist Lee Miller. In parts of Mexico, some people cook and eat Fuligo septica when it’s at this early growth stage.

When the slime mold dries, it turns brown and begins to resemble dog vomit rather than scrambled eggs. In the 1700s, French botanist Jean Marchant referred to it as “fleur de tan” because of the tannish pigment it develops.

Folklore has linked Fuligo septica to witches. In Scandinavia, it was said to be the vomit of troll cats, mythical creatures that suck milk from cows and spit it into pails for witches. In Latvia, it has been called “witch’s butter” or “witch’s spit.”

Despite its unflattering nicknames, Fuligo septica does not harm plants, people or animals, Miller says. You can replace mulch where Fuligo septica grows, but it likely will return.

The best option is just to enjoy it for the curiosity it is.

2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival set Oct. 17 in Trenton Officials of the Missouri Days Marching Festival have released a statement regarding plans for the upcoming Marching Band Festival which is set for Oct. 17: “2020 has proven difficult to plan anything. While there are many unknowns, we are continually planning for the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival. This festival has always put students first. 2020 is nothing different.

We fully intend to work with local officials, and participating schools to ensure a meaningful educational experience for students, directors, and band families.”

The Trenton School has again offered the use of their facilities to host the festival.

Officials remain optimistic that circumstances will allow the Missouri Days Marching Festival to proceed as close to “business as usual” as possible, while maintaining a safe, conducive learning environment.

This festival could not go on without the participating bands.

That being said, communications have already begun among directors, the festival commit-

Commitments have already been received from attending schools. Festival officials look forward to seeing everyone on Oct. 17. Should this year’s festival be canceled due to COVID-19, participating schools will be notified, and refunds issued for those schools that have paid their registration fees.

There is an outstanding panel of adjudicators and a topnotch line up of bands from the region planning to attend this year, and festival planners hope to see everyone in Trenton for the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival on Oct. 17. ***** Children have more need of models than critics.

Decision still pends whether to close portion of Quartz Avenue At 10 a.m. the commission heard the third reading of a petiCOMMISSION tion to close a portion of Quartz Avenue in Union Township between State Highway O and 270th Street.

No remonstrance was received.

Robert Merritt and Lance Rains were present for the reading.

Robert Merritt stated he spoke with the commission two years ago about the condition of the road and will be okay with whatever decision the commission makes. Lance Rains stated that both he and Mr. Merritt believe if it is not closed, it needs to be repaired so that at a minimum the landowners can get to their properties. The county will talk to the township and visit the road before deciding. The issue was continued until next week.

The commission inspected roof leaks on the fourth floor of the courthouse. A contractor will be called to determine the extent of the damage. The issue was continued until next week.

James Lewis, bridge supervisor, updated the commission by phone on ongoing work. James advised that they are continuing to work on repairing/replacing tubes. The brush mower is continuing to mow in Washington Township.

Danny Smith, Liberty Township resident, spoke to the commission by phone regarding a road issue on Otter Avenue.

The commission will contact the township and determine the ownership of the tube.

Discussion was held regarding courthouse procedures considering possible COVID-19 exposures. The issue was continued.

Lance Rains, Gallatin Administrator, met with the commission to present the city’s application for CARES Act Funds.

The commission presented a copy of an agreement signed in 1999 with the City of Gallatin regarding the light poles around the courthouse square. Discussion was held with Lance Rains, and the issue was continued until next week.

Daviess County Health Director Cheryl Alexander spoke to the commission by phone to update them on COVID-19 cases in Daviess County. They did 54 antibody tests on first respondCOUNTY

ers on June 29. Also, Caldwell County did drive-through testing on June 30, but no results for Daviess County residents are back yet. Community testing for antibodies will be done possibly in August.

The commission discussed an estimate received from Peyton-Roberts Roofing for some repair and investigation of roof problems on the northeast corner of the third floor roof. Wayne Uthe made a motion to allow Peyton-Roberts Roofing to do the repairs already identified under the estimate, and to give an estimate on the entire roof issues; David Cox seconded, and the motion passed, 3-0.

Doug Carter, Benton township landowner, left word for the commission that he would need a 30-day extension to get his brush cleared. The extension was granted until Aug. 10, 2020.

Ronetta Burton, county clerk, advised the commission that the following records were destroyed this week: Retail Liquor License expiring 2014 & 2015; Salary Commission minutes (electronic copy saved) 1987-2009; Sunshine requests 2016 & older; General Journal entry work papers for 2017 & 2018; Missouri Statement of Collections 2018; and Collector’s Settlements 2018.

The commission regretfully accepted the resignation of Peggy Simmons, custodian, effective June 10, 2022. The commission is accepting resumes beginning immediately in the county clerk’s office for the opening, which comes with paid health insurance, retirement benefits, and a competitive wage.

The commission received a request from Lanny Dixon, Sons of the Confederate Veterans, to purchase some accoutrements for the cannon on the courthouse lawn. David Cox made a motion to approve the request for approximately $1,000 to buy accoutrements for the cannon from the Veterans Fund; Wayne Uthe seconded, and the motion passed, 3-0.

CITY of GALLATIN

County Seat of Daviess County, Missouri TO ALL OCCUPANTS AND RESIDENTS: The City of Gallatin will be conducting leak testing in the sanitary sewer system by blowing smoke into the sewer lines. This smoke will reveal sources of sewer odors in your neighborhood as well as the locations where storm water and other sources of surface waters are entering the sanitary sewer systems.

A special non-toxic smoke will be used in these tests. This smoke is manufactured for this purpose, leaves no residuals or stains and has no effects on plant and animal life. The smoke has a distinctive, but not unpleasant odor. The visibility and odor from the smoke only last a few minutes where there is adequate ventilation.

Because the plumbing appliances in your home or building are connected to the sanitary sewer system, some of this smoke may enter your home if one of the following exists: 1.

2.

3.

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.

Manufactured homes on the rise After years of decline starting in the late 1990s, manufactured housing has been gaining in popularity over the past few years. Unlike site-built homes, which are directly constructed on a plot of land, manufactured homes are pre-assembled in factories and then transported to the location where they will be used. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently 6.8 million manufactured homes across the country.

The demand for manufactured housing has fluctuated over time, often coinciding with changes in borrowing requirements for mortgage applicants. For example, the number of manufactured housing shipments experienced a steep decline between 2000 and 2009, when home buyers had easier access to mortgage loans leading up to the subprime mortgage crisis. The share of new manufactured homes compared to all new single-family homes decreased from its peak of 25 percent in 1996 to only 7.8 percent in 2006. As of 2019, about 10 percent of new singlefamily homes are categorized as manufactured homes.

One of the biggest advantages of manufactured homes is the price. Manufactured homes are far cheaper than site-built homes, even after excluding the price of land from a site-built home.

The average sales price of a new site-built home, excluding land, in 2019 was $297,747—about six times more expensive than a single manufactured home, $52,400, and three times as expensive as a double manufactured home, $99,500. the percentage change in single-family site-built While the average site-built home is larger homes during the same time frame.

Good deals

...for a good cause The annual two-day Spring Hill School Consignment Auction began Wednesday morning, July 1. The event is held one mile west of Jamesport on Hwy. NN. Proceeds go towards the school.

Rains made the grounds a bit muddy the first day, but the crowds still came on foot and in all-terrain vehicles, and by the next day, Thursday, July 2, things had mostly dried out.

Several auctioneers had rings going at the same time and sold everything from washing machines to antiques and collectibles to horses and buggies.
