No recycling for Gallatin effective Aug. 1 The City of Gallatin has received notification from Rapid Removal Disposal (RRD) that curbside recycling will no longer be offered in Gallatin. The notification was received by letter dated July 11 and signed by James Watje, CEO of the company.

RRD started curbside recycling in Gallatin in 2012. This recycling service was offered free of charge to Gallatin because Hope Haven Industries (HHI) in Chillicothe offered free recycling sortation and processing of curbside recyclables.

Approximately two-and-one-half years ago HHI implemented a monthly tipping fee of $400. RRD absorbed that monthly fee along with all costs associated with the curbside collection.

Recently, on July 1, 2019, HHI implemented new fees of $38.80 per ton for recyclables. This initial fee was to cover the cost of sortation due to their inability to sell their recycled material on the commodities markets. This was due to “China’s Green Wall” and the rest of Asia following in China’s footsteps, according to the letter. The letter states that these factors have created a national crisis in the recycling markets.

Regretfully, Rapid Removal has decided to exit the curbside recycling service offered to the four communities that recycled.

The change will take effect on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019.

Former Winston teacher charged with molestation, contact, assault A former Winston teacher was charged July 12 with four counts of child molestation fourth degree, one count of sexual contact with student, and one count of assault third degree, all E felonies.

Alfred Brian Sprouse, 50, Gallatin, was working as athletic director and teacher at Winston High School in November of 2017 when he allegedly began having sexual contact with a 15-yearold female student, according to court documents.

The victim told investigators that he had assaulted her almost 20 times in a classroom, making the girl move out of view of cameras that were in the hallway.

Sprouse told the girl that she couldn’t tell anyone about what was happening. Sprouse also allegedly physically assaulted the student when he grabbed her arms and left bruises during a

confrontation at the school during a basketball practice.

The confidential victim was interviewed by an investigator with the Missouri State Technical Assistance Team on July 9, 2019.

Sprouse was scheduled to appear in Daviess County Circuit Court on July 16 for a court trial on misdemeanor charges filed last August of endangering welfare of a child and two counts of assault fourth degree. These charges stem from incidents on a school bus and at the Winston School.

He did not make his scheduled court appearance and has not been taken into custody on the newly filed charges.

Sprouse’s last known address in Gallatin is invalid. Sprouse was fired from Winston R-6 High School in March 2018.

Regional jail: Upgrade or build new?

The Daviess-DeKalb Regional jail has agreed to a feasibility study to be done by Goldberg Group Architects. The feasibility study is to determine whether the jail proceeds with needed upgrades to the current facility or lays the groundwork for a new facility in the future.

Lawrence Goldberg presented the proposal for the study to the board during their meeting held June 28, giving an overview of their company and what the study would entail. The cost of the study is $8,500. If the project proceeds with Goldberg Group, $5,000 will be credited back to Daviess/ DeKalb Regional Jail.

Deputy Director Tim Carder gave the financial report, which was approved by the board. Sales tax revenue for April $69,792.88; May $99,730.29. Sales Tax balance $79,492.53. The commissary grossed $12,933.74 in May; $10,091.54 in June. CD account 247 balance $247,881.61; CD account 977 balance $103,528.47; Operating Account balance $101,351.56; Payroll balance $1,181.30; Accounts Receivable $103,177.57; Accounts Payable $1,277.75.

During old business, Jail Director Edmon Howard discussed the ratification of a procedure for handling uncollected board bills, which the board (continued on page 3) accepted.

Board of Equalization stands behind assessor; Morrell Ranch may close Morrell Legacy Real Estate LLC, located on Nickel Avenue a few miles northwest of Gallatin, sought an 80% reduction of its appraised price during a meeting of the Daviess County Board of Equalization held July 15 at the Daviess County courthouse.

The request was denied by the board and the ranch seems poised to close its doors.

The issue was not the assessment amount, but rather what classification the Morrell Ranch property falls under. Four classifications are available to the assessor: agriculture, residence, commercial, and other.

Rodney Ames of Liberty, attorney for Phil Morrell who is the owner of the property, argued that the appraisal of the 600acre property should take into account a “diminished external economic obsolescence” factor.

External obsolescence refers to factors outside the property that cause it to decline in value.

The property is unique in design and application and was not built for the purpose of profit, Mr. Ames said, but rather, at best to break even. It is a unique property from a selling point. The

property was likely to be sold for recreational/camping and there were few buyers out there for such.

During his presentation, Mr. Ames noted that the Morrell property primarily hosts churches, schools, family reunions and high school prom-type venues. It does not have high yield income.

Weddings held at the ranch do help to pay the bills.

Mr. Ames said the property costs more to operate than what comes in. The ranch paid $100,000 in utilities, plus handling the payroll of 10-15 employees. At the same time, the ranch brings people and business to the community.

Mr. Ames noted that Morrell Ranch is not how Mr. Morrell makes his living. He has other tax write-offs with other companies, but the ranch represents a significant loss.

Mr. Ames said the tax burden was so great, the Morrell Ranch could not continue to operate the property as intended. He said Mr. Morrell would be done and that he had already canceled business for the rest of the year.

Mr. Ames said he was not

there to criticize the assessor; he appreciated the opportunity to present the case.

“Mr. Morrell is willing to lose a little, but not this much,” Mr. Ames said.

Mr. Ames presented an appraisal done for Mr. Morrell by Tom Pryor. Mr. Pryor was described as a highly qualified appraiser, trusted by the courts.

Mr. Pryor specifically looked at a wilderness camp which sold at Lawson. Marshall and Swift (the flagship service for appraisers) took about 80% off of the appraisal price for obsolescence for (continued on page 13)

Danny Daniel fatally injured in collision with deer on Hwy 69 A Pattonsburg man was fatally injured in a motorcycle accident that happened at about 7 a.m. July 12 in Harrison County.

OPINION

July 17, 2019

The recycling question The decision by Rapid Removal to discontinue picking up Gallatin’s recyclables is discouraging. Recycling is a much-needed counterbalance to our “throw away” society. But sadly, the market doesn’t offer enough profit to assure a sustainable recycling program, at least on this level and this geography.

Some may view Rapid Removal as the villain here, but effective recycling continues to be a challenge. Not everyone participates in the voluntary effort. Sorting materials for recycling is no small feat.

Transportation costs siphon marginal advantages. True or not, many have wondered if the recyclables collected wound up in the landfill with the rest of what we discard.

Unless there’s money to be made, it’s hard to visualize recycling success. And it’s not just Rapid Removal facing the dilemma. Our printing plant has been given a similar notice from our recycling vendor near Kansas City.

A decade ago we operated a Off the Editor’s Spike... smaller 4-unit newsprint press housed in a couple of business buildings just off the square. We only printed in greyscale; our newsprint waste was low. We simply bundled waste copies necessary to properly set the ink

by Darryl Wilkinson and pushed them out to the alley to be picked up with all the rest of our weekly trash. There was no thought of recycling.

That changed. Not only did our list of customers increase when we moved but so did our press waste as we began offering full color printing at our present location. We now accumulate about a semitrailer load of waste newsprint every six weeks. When decisions were made a decade ago, recycled newsprint was in demand. We received payment for both the newsprint and cardboard we recycled — and for the silver reclaimed from hundreds of pounds of pagesized film.

Prices, always fickle, plummeted. Digital has replaced the film once in predominant use. The newsprint we now use is already 100% recycled (recycle targets set by law) so there are fewer options for reuse. Our recycling vendor has notified us they no longer will pay but will charge for any cardboard picked up (will newsprint be next?). There’s still money to pocket in recycling aluminum press plates, but the day may come when getting rid of our production wastes will be a net loss and another new cost while trying to keep this little company solvent.

We each face decisions concerning recycling. There is something innately right about avoiding waste and reducing the amounts sent to the landfill located miles and miles away. For too long and for too many of us, this topic has not progressed much beyond “Out of sight, out of mind.” But whether it’s curbside or by the truckload, sustainable answers won’t come easily. And at what cost?

Use this guide to seek flood aid

by Congressman Sam Graves

The Flood of 2019 has impacted almost everyone in North Missouri -- even those whose homes, farmland, and businesses were spared have friends, neighbors, and family who were far less fortunate.

Some places along the Missouri River have been underwater going on four months now. We have seen record floods along the Mississippi River, and a lot of folks in between have seen flooding as well -- particularly on the Grand and Chariton rivers.

There is some good news though. President Trump recently signed a disaster aid package I was proud to support. In addition, the President just approved

a second major disaster declaration for several North Missouri counties -- making more federal resources available to help folks recover and rebuild.

We all know it can be difficult to make heads or tails of federal programs even at the best of times. Missourians have been through enough this year -- finding out what programs are available shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why I’ve created a Flood Recovery Resource Guide to help anyone looking for more information on federal flood recovery programs.

You can find the guide at graves.house.gov/floodresources. It contains information on the federal programs that are

215 bridges officially targeted statewide for repairs

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

This year, the governor and leaders in the Missouri General Assembly have made it a priority to increase the state’s investment in infrastructure maintenance and construction.

As part of that effort, the State Legislature authorized a bonding plan to fund repairs for 215 bridges throughout the state, a measure the governor officially signed into law.

Additionally, the governor and legislative leaders have increased funding for the Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MoDOT) Cost Share Program.

This program allows municipal governments to more easily engage in local infrastructure improvements by providing state grants of up to 50% of a project’s total cost.

Local governments often know best what their individual

communities need, and MoDOT’s 50/50 matching grants have proven to be cost-effective ways of promoting infrastructure development.

That’s why Missouri’s state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year appropriates $50 million toward the Cost Share Program — the largest amount that has been allocated to this program in recent memory.

I believe in the principle of

limited government, but I also believe the state has certain obligations that need to be taken seriously. Maintaining proper infrastructure is an essential responsibility of state government, because nearly everyone relies on our highways, roads and bridges in some capacity.

By increasing funding for MoDOT’s Cost Share Program, we are investing in the future of one of our most important assets.

Manipulating the economy, 25 basis points at a time

by R.W. Hafer

Milton Friedman must be rolling in his grave. Friedman, who died in 2006, is widely regarded as the father of modern monetary economics. Among other suggestions, he called upon policymakers to stop trying to manipulate short-run fluctuations in the economy by adjusting the Federal funds rate. Instead, they should focus on longerterm problems, like inflation.

Trying to fine-tune a $21 trillion economy is a fool’s errand. Policymakers, as well-trained as they are, simply do not know enough to be successful at it. Too many uncertainties exist: When and if the Fed will or will not raise the funds rate by 25 basis points — one quarter of a percentage point — depends upon whether the economy is or is not growing, whether the president’s trade war will or will not negatively affect the economy, whether the stock market’s run continues or not. Friedman would cringe.

Because the Fed uses the funds rate as its major policy tool, it has become more of a signaling device. When the Fed officials talk about considering an increase or decrease in the rate, they are telling the public that the current rate may not be appropriate for achieving its policy goals of full employment and low inflation.

That is what is happening now. Does it make sense to lower the rate? Only if two criteria are met.

First, the Fed knows the economy is slowing, and slowing significantly. But the economy is at operating close to full employment. An unemployment rate of 3.7% is at historic lows; the level of real GDP is slightly above its potential or full-employment level; and the recent June data on non-farm employment increases exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Given this information, why would the Fed even think

about decreasing the funds rate when the signals indi- President and financial markets have been campaigncate an economy operating at or close to capacity? ing for and largely expect a reduction of the funds rate at Second, the Fed knows what the level of the funds rate upcoming meetings of the Fed’s policy-making arm, the should be to maintain full employment and low inflation.

Last prisoners depart from Crossroads prison; reuse unknown Editor’s note: The following is based on an article written by Kurt Erickson published July 11th in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The closure of Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron was first reported during state budget deliberations. This more recent report offers details about the impact of the decision.

The Missouri Department of Corrections isn’t offering a specific date for the official closure of the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, but as of Friday the last of its inmates have been relocated to other facilities.

This essentially marks the end of the prison; the state will continue maintaining the facility but no plans for facilities reuse have been announced.

The maximum-security facility was built 22 years ago to hold 1,440 of the state’s most dangerous inmates. Its closure comes 13 months after hundreds of prisoners rioted over conditions at the prison, which were exacerbated by short staffing.

In January, as part of Gov. Parson’s $30 billion budget proposal, the state chose to discontinue Crossroads for an estimated $20 million in annual savings.

Jobs were not lost; many prison employees simply took employment at the adjacent Western Missouri Correctional Center or at other prison locations.

One factor in deciding to close the facility is a drop in the number of inmates in the 21 prisons

Regional jail

across the state. As of last week, the total statewide prison population was 28,141 (down from 32,008 as of April 2018) according to Corrections spokeswoman Karen Pojmann.

Officials say the decrease is partly because of changes to the state’s criminal code that went into effect in 2017, which have led to fewer people being sentenced to prison.

Among those changes was the elimination of jail time for first-time offenders convicted of possessing 10 grams or less of marijuana and the removal of sentences that did not include a chance at parole or probation for habitual drug offenders.

Crossroads was constructed at a cost of about $53 million.

Among its features was a lethal perimeter electric fence, the first of its kind in Missouri. The fence was nicknamed “The Intimidator.”

Western is being converted to half maximum security and half medium security. The prison is built in two sections, which will help facilitate keeping the two populations separate, says Pojmann.

But, there also are changes underway to Western.

Officials have budgeted at least $3 million to install extra fencing. Also in the works are taller interior fences with additional razor wire, an additional

Mr. Howard attended an administrator conference in May and described it as very informative.

The annual employee appreciation meal was served to the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail staff by the administration. Local law enforcement, first responders and firefighters were invited to the event.

Mr. Carder gave a training update during new business. Three staff member will be attending Crisis Intervention Team training on July 15, and there will be more officers attending this training in October. Commissioner Ruse commended the administration on the security at Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail.

Steven Grant, certified public accountant, is currently conducting a financial audit for 2017 and 2018.

Mr. Howard discussed the new Supreme Court ruling re-

garding arraignments being required within 48 hours. A request was made by a Gentry County judge to access Facetime and/or Skype to conduct said hearings.

The phone system at the jail is not set up to conduct the hearings using Facetime or Skype.

The board agreed that every effort would be made to assist the courts via transport and/or utilizing polycom, but no other systems would be installed at this time.

The next board meeting is set for 10 a.m. on Friday, July 26.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the June 28 meeting of the regional jail. Present were Daviess County Presiding Commissioner James Ruse; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Kyle Carroll; DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark; Edmon Howard, Jr., Director; Timothy Carder, Deputy Director; Lori Burke, Administrative As-

FCCLA shines at Nationals earned a gold medal, finishing 8th in the nation. Macie McNeely competed in the Job Interview event and received a gold medal.

Payton Feiden, Peyton Johnson and Layton Shubert competed in the Focus on Children event and earned a silver medal. Maddie Moulton, Nevaeh Ripple and Adison Pratt competed in the Interpersonal Communications event and earned a silver medal.

Becky Adkison, Gallatin’s FCCLA adviser expressed, “Overall, Missouri had an amazing showing at this year’s national FCCLA STAR Events competition with 86 finishing in the top ten in the nation. Personally, I’m so proud to have brought five of those students. I know the hard work that goes into these events, and it’s so fulfilling to see them receive the recognition they deserve!”

STAR Events are competitive events in which members are recognized for their proficiency and achievement in chapter and

individual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation.

Both youth and adults work together in managing the events and serving as evaluators of the participants. Students develop real world skills participating in STAR Events. Ella Bradford, Elle Copple and Addie Riley competed in the Interpersonal Communications event and earned a gold medal, finishing 6th in the nation.

Events aim to support student development of knowledge and skills by enhancing the classroom experience and career pathway initiatives by equipping students with employable skills and industry insights needed to thrive in the 21st century. FCCLA members choose what STAR Event they would like to compete in. Events vary from Early Childhood Education, Entrepreneurship, and Sports Nutrition to Fashion Design, Job Interview, and Culinary Arts.

Once completed, Western will hold about 1,600 inmates in a facility built to house 1,800.

The closure also has thrown a wrench into Cameron’s budget.

City Manager Steve Rasmussen said the city-owned utility, which has sold electric, water and sewer services to the prison, will lose a customer that accounts for about $1.5 million in revenue.

In August, the Cameron City Council will begin putting the final touches on its budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

It likely will feature a 10% to 15%

utility rate increase, according to Rasmussen.

The city’s estimated loss could be substantially less, however, because some utilities, like electric and water, will continue to be used to keep Crossroads from falling into disrepair. Also, the population of the combined prisons will be similar to what it was when they were separate, meaning water use won’t be drastically reduced.

Prison workers, meanwhile, saw their paychecks begin to rise when the state’s new fiscal year began July 1. Parson hopes the increased pay will begin chipping away at a high turnover

rate among employees that was blamed for the May 2018 riot at Cameron.

The disturbance started when 209 inmates refused to return to their housing units. They were upset that staffing shortages had left less time for recreation and other programming.

In order to keep the facility operating, Corrections officials had resorted to busing officers from other prisons.

After six hours of unrest, in which dining halls, the kitchen and storage areas sustained an estimated $1.3 million in damage, the prison was brought back under control.

(continued from page 1)

Also attending the conference with the Gallatin chapter was Morgan Glidewell, the current Missouri FCCLA Vice President of State Programs. While there, she participated in state officer training and served as a student judge of the Nutrition and Wellness STAR Event.

While in California, Gallatin NLC delegates got to take in a few of the sights. They spent a morning in the Hollywood and Los Angeles area with stops at Rodeo Boulevard, the Walk of Fame, Staples Center, and the La Brea Tar Pits. Disneyland and California Adventure were also explored. An afternoon at Newport Beach was enjoyed. Fourth of July fireworks were taken in at Disneyland after an unplanned earthquake earlier that day.

Also accompanying the students were Kim Johnson and Lisa Stout as chaperones and Becky Adkison as the current Gallatin FCCLA Adviser.

A ride on the magic carpet…

Performances of “Aladdin” were presented at the Courter Theater in Gallatin on July 12 and July 13. The Missoula Children’s Theatre residency in Gallatin was brought here by the Gallatin Theater League with support from Gallatin Men’s Club, Davis-Aulgur Foundation, and Gallatin Rotary. Children grades 1-12 auditioned on July 8 for the production, and rehearsals were conducted throughout the rest of the week. The two performances were given at the end of the rehearsal week (more photos appear on page 13).

Noxious weed problem ‘growing’ in county The commission held a discussion on the noxious weed COMMISSION problem in Daviess County. In particular they discussed the growing problem with thistles. RSMo 263.190 and RSMo 263.200 requires every land owner in the state of Missouri “to control all noxious weeds growing thereon so often in each and every year as shall be sufficient to prevent such noxious weeds from going to seed.” The commission will do some research and put out a notice in August.

James Lewis, bridge supervisor, updated the commission by phone on ongoing work. His crew will continue to work on repairing damage from the recent rains. They will be working in Marion and Lincoln Township this week, as well as documenting damage in other areas.

Randy Eads, Washington Township, met with the commission to present two road closing petitions. The county clerk will verify the signatures so the petitions can be read for the first time next week. The issue was continued until next week.

Jim Ruse and Wayne Uthe will attend the fall MPR Conference in Branson Sept. 4-6, 2019.

The commission will meet that week on Tuesday, Sept 3, 2019.

The results of a “Click It Or Ticket” project which included all 15 counties I Troop H was announced by Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph.

The project was conducted on July 14. As a result of the project, officers issued 45 citations and 90 warnings. Officers also made one misdemeanor warrant arrest and one felony warrant arrest, and assisted 13 motorists during the project.

“Summer is in full swing and so is summer travel. Obeying all traffic laws, including wearing your seat belt, is critically important,” stated Captain McDonald.

The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.” *****

SCHOOL

July 17, 2019

Winston meal prices stay the same, tax hearing set The Winston School Board adopted the USDA Eligibility for Free and Reduced Meals for 2019-2020 at the meeting held July 15.

Meal prices will stay the same as last school year with breakfast $1.20, elementary lunch $2.25, high school lunch $2.50, adult lunch $3.25, and extra milk $.25.

The Winston School District received an exemption from being forced to raise prices under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act which would have required lunch prices to increase 4.31%.

The board set the tax rate hearing for the 2019-2020 School Year for 6 p.m. on Aug. 19.

The board adopted the Missouri Department of Education IDEA Compliance Plan for the 2019-2020 school year and readopted the Conflict of Interest Ordinance from the Missouri Ethics Commission.

School Board Policy updates were approved as recommended by the Missouri Consultants for Education. High School and Elementary Student Handbooks were approved.

The next regular board meet-

ing is 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 19.

Future Dates of Importance: Aug. 6 – All Grades Student Registration 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Aug. 12-14 Staff In-service; Aug. 13 Open House 5:30-7 p.m.; Aug. 13 - 7th Grade Orientation at 6 p.m.; Aug. 15 – First Day of School; Aug. 19 – School Board Meeting.

Several teachers and administrators have been participating in multiple days of professional development this summer.

The annual school audit is scheduled for Aug. 29 with Jeremy Clevenger, CPA. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) gave the Winston School their 2019 annual determination under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).

The Winston R-6 School District has been placed in the category “Meets Requirements of Part B of the IDEA.” This is considered a good reflection on the dedication of the school personnel who support students with disabilities.

Former Bulldogs to play in Lions All-Star Football game Rosters have been announced for the 43rd Annual Missouri Lions All-Star Football Game and a pair of 2019 Gallatin High School grads will have one more chance to compete against some of the best recently-graduated seniors from the state.

Adrian Hernandez and Graydee Rains will represent Gallatin and the Gold Team this Saturday, July 20, at 7 p.m. in the game played at Central Missouri’s Walton Stadium.

Hernandez, a 5’9”, 155-pound kicker, will be attending Missouri Western State University this fall. Rains, a 6’1’, 215-pound linebacker, will attend the Uni-

versity of Missouri in the fall.

Also participating in the game from this area will be Penney High graduates Connor Kavanaugh (Gold Team tight end) and Tyler Trosper (Blue Team nose guard).

Nominated players were drafted earlier by head coaches Rich Johnson, Knob Noster (Blue Team) and Chad Jamerson, East Prairie (Gold Team).

There will be a banquet to honor players Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the UCM Elliott Union.

Advance adult tickets for the game are $8 and tickets are $10 at the gate for adults and $5 for students.

Signal improvements planned at Cameron Signal improvements are coming to the Cameron area.

The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to install flashing yellow arrow signals at several intersections along U.S. Route 69 in Cameron. The new signals will help provide a safer, smoother flow of traffic.

Flashing yellow arrows are new to Cameron, but are in use in other areas of Northwest Missouri and across the country.

They have proven to increase safety and reduce crashes. By changing to a flashing yellow arrow, two directions aren’t shown a green signal at the same time.

They work in a similar way to the old ‘yield on green’ signals.

Red means stop, as it always has. A solid yellow arrow indicates the light is about to turn solid red. A flashing yellow arMatch $$ item message with row means drivers may turn, but must yield to pedestrians and

oncoming traffic. A green arrow lets you know when you are clear to turn left and oncoming traffic Tri-County baseball has a red light.

Moonwalk excitement and beyond at the library Don’t miss the excitement this week and next at the Daviess County Library’s summer reading program, “A Universe of Stories in S.T.E.A.M.” This week the library will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s trip to the moon and safe return to Earth.

July 16 was “BLAST-OFF” with children watching “Max Goes to the Moon Planetarium Show,” produced by Fiske Planetarium in Boulder, CO, then discovering propulsion with a “Hopping Grains” experiment and “Race to the Moon” balloon races on the lawn.

July 18 at 10 a.m. Rocket Club will build a planetarium on the lawn with Bob Riddle and library staff, then add their own constellations and tour the universe— of course, there will be CootieCatchers and galaxy mobiles, too.

July 20 is the big day, celebrating with a “TOUCHDOWN” party at 10:17 a.m. with more “Race to the Moon” and crafts, then when the library closes a movie will be shown in the base-

ment (pack a sack lunch or bring $1 for a hotdog or macaroni) with more science and making moonboots in the afternoon. The grand finale “MOONWALK” and big screen footage of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin ON. THE. MOON. is scheduled for exactly 50 years at 4:17 p.m.

Programs are all kid-friendly, but the library knows there’s a kid in all of us, so they’re even grown-up friendly—please feel free to drop in and check out the excitement.

Other activities coming down the pike are the monthly board meeting at 4 p.m. on July 18; Adult Computer Lab, 1-3 p.m. on July 19; and a guest visit by author Tanja Drecker at 10 a.m. on July 24. Then she’ll travel with SRP2Go to Jameson, Coffey, Pattonsburg and Winston to meet readers all around our county.

Morrell Ranch argues assessment the Lawson wilderness camp.

Mr. Ames asked the board to take the same amount — 80% — off of the appraised valuation of the Morrell property in order to reflect the diminished value.

The appraisal done by Mr. Pryor assessed the value of the ranch property at $1,340,000.

Before Sally Black, the Daviess County Assessor, reviewed the property, it was assessed at $3,348,000.

Mr. Ames said taxes on the Morrell Ranch had tripled from three years ago. Factors coming into play included a “spike” in 2016. That year, part of the property assessment changed from residential (a 19% assessor rate) to commercial (32%). Also, the Gallatin R-5 School levy raised taxes by 90 cents per hundred.

“The county assessor’s rate is crushing to this company,” Mr. Ames said.

Daviess County Assessor Sally Black responded to Mr. Ames, noting a new and lesser appraisal amount of $2,766,610 was sent to Mr. Morrell on March 27, but the assessor never heard if it was acceptable to him (this amount is $582,560 less than the amount of $3,349,170 mentioned in Mr. Pryor’s report.)

These assessments break down as follows: Previous Assessment:

●● Agriculture 12%: Land $26,800; Dwelling $79,900 Total $106,700

●● Residential 19%: Land $21,000; Dwelling $791,580; Total $812,580 ●● Commercial/Other 32%: Land $120,000; Dwelling $2,309,890 Total $2,429,890 ●● Tax Valuation $3,349,170 Assessed: $944,620

2019 Assessment:

●● Agriculture 12%: Land $25,640; Dwelling $52,550; Total $78,190 ●● Residential 19%: Land $21,000; Dwelling $675,413; Total $696,413 ●● Commercial/Other: Land $120,000; Dwelling $1,872,007; Total $1,992,007. ●● Tax Valuation $2,766,610 Assessed: $779,143

The difference ($3,349,170 $2,766,610) represents $582,560 less. The Morrell Legacy had nothing listed under an Exempt classification.

In regards to obsolescence, Mrs. Black stated that the Wilderness Camping & Retreat Center in Lawson was a much different property than the Morrell property.

Mrs. Black said she did not receive statements from Phil Morrell in time to analyze them.

Profit-and-loss statements were not received; the exemption application was not returned; three years of income and expense statements were not received.

The assessor also questioned where in the Marshall & Swift appraisal did it reference the 80% obsolescence for recreational camps. The assessor’s analysis of the property was therefore

(continued from page 1)

based on an on-site review.

It was noted that no complaints about the appraisals were made until taxes went up, and appraisals can’t consider that. The assessor’s office does valuation; it does not set tax levies.

The $2,766,610 assessed valuation was arrived at based on an analysis uniform with all taxpayers.

It was also noted during the discussion by the board that the Morrell Ranch has expanded since the assessor was last there, to include 17 R-V hookups, greenhouses, and a vineyard.

The land is listed for sale in Utah at $10,000,000. The board noted that to be exempt as religious, education or charitable, all property must be exclusively used for that purpose.

The Board of Equalization includes Daviess County Commissioners Wayne Uthe, Jim Ruse and David Cox, along with Stan Coulson and Elaine Bohannon.

The board voted unanimously to accept the Daviess County Assessor’s assessed valuation of the Morrell Ranch property at $2,766,610.

Mrs. Bohannon noted, “When farmers and businesses have a loss, they dip in the other pocket to support it, or they get out of business. They don’t get to say to the assessor, hey, how about knocking off 80%?”

A ride on the magic carpet…

Two performances of “Aladdin” were presented at Courter Theater on July 12-13. The Missoula Children’s Theatre residency in Gallatin was brought here by the Gallatin Theater League with support from Gallatin Men’s Club, Davis-Aulgur Foundation, and Gallatin Rotary. (more photos appear on page 3).

Three children hurt in accident Three children and one adult received minor injuries in an accident that happened at about 11:30 p.m. on July 11 in Daviess County.

According to the highway patrol, George Albert Harris, 30, Minneapolis, MN, was southbound on I-35. He exited onto Route C, about a half mile east of Pattonsburg. His 2019 GMC Acadia traveled off the south side of the roadway, struck a ditch and then a fence. The vehicle came to rest in a field, facing south on its wheels.

Four occupants, Damario Allen, 7, Miyannah Allen, 8, Kannarria Allen, 12, and Jessica Allen, 30, all of Minneapolis, MN, were transported by NTA to Cameron Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. They were all wearing their seat belts.

The accident was investigated

by Tpr. J.J. Thompson, assisted

by Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and Pattonsburg Fire.

Ameren seeks revenue decrease On July 3, 2019, Ameren Missouri filed an electric rate case with the Missouri Public Service Commission seeking to decrease annual electric revenues by approximately $800,000.

Ameren Missouri serves approximately 1.26 million electric customers.

Applications to intervene and participate in this case must be filed no later than July 22, 2019, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0360, or by using the Commission’s Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov.

2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey) 2 cups warm water (what temp) 4 teaspoons salt 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil 2 packets yeast (or 1 tablespoon bulk yeast 7-½ cups flour

Dissolve 2 packets yeast (or 1 tablespoon bulk yeast) in 1 cup warm water (temp = very warm baby bath water temp; who actually uses a thermometer?) Set aside.

In large bowl, mix with wooden spoon 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey), 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 cups warm water (very warm baby bath water temperature). Stir well.

Stir in yeast mixture. (Make sure all the yeast is dissolved in the water and is not at the bottom of the container.) Stir well with wooden spoon. Slowly begin adding 7 to 7-1/2 cups flour. Add four cups first. Stir well until smooth. Add two more cups. Stir well. It should be getting harder to stir with wooden spoon -- but keep stirring.

Add one more cup flour. Stir until it’s too hard to stir. Dump all the mixture onto a well-floured, clean kneading surface. Add flour little by little, kneading, until the dough does not stick to the kneading surface (5-7 minutes of kneading).

Create a smooth round ball and place back in big bowl after rubbing oil around the outside of the bowl. Press plastic wrap on the dough (this will eliminate a crust forming) and then cover the bowl with a towel. Raise until double in size (approximately 2 hours; I set mine on counter with burner on low next to it). When doubled in size, punch down in the middle. Divide dough into 3 or 4 balls. Then, one ball at a time, press out with hands into about a 9x13 rectangle on an oiled surface. Roll up longways (as if making cinnamon rolls) for a loaf. Tuck each end under. Place on a welloiled cookie sheet. Repeat this process for the other dough balls.

With serrated knife, score the tops of the loaves diagonally 3-4 times (just for appearance). Cover with towel and raise 45-60 minutes. Remove towel and bake at 425 degrees about 20 minutes or until top if lightly browned. Brush butter (or garlic butter) on the loaves when it comes out of oven.

It is 4-H Fair time!

The excitement of getting yourself and animals and produce ready!

A friend of mine, and fellow author, just won the Grand Champion /Purple Ribbon in baked goods at the Wyandotte (KS) County Fair. I can’t believe it, but she agreed to share her award-winning recipe with us! This bread freezes well. Wait until completely cooled and double-wrap in plastic wrap and put in freezer for up to one month. Wouldn’t this be great with some homemade jam or jelly? I’m going to bring Karen up to Gallatin, so if you see her, tell her “Congratulations!“

Davis-Aulgur Foundation touches many lives, culminates in a blaze of glory A legacy of D.H. Davis Drug Company which served this community for much more than a century

by T.L. Huffman

A foundation set up by the Davis-Aulgur Family 45 years ago will go out in a blaze of glory by giving away $30,000 to three Daviess County institutions.

The Davis-Aulgur Family Foundation announced the gifts in May. The Active Aging Resource Center will receive $10,000 for capital improvements; Gallatin Theater League will receive $10,000 in support of the Missoula Children’s Theater production of “Aladdin” and future productions; and the Gallatin Methodist Church will receive $10,000 toward its building fund.

The process of the Foundation was to receive requests from charitable organizations from Daviess County, says Ann (Aulgur) Everly. “The board would review those requests and decide where the monies would go that year. We liked to touch as many people from Daviess County as possible.”

Over the years, the Davis-Aulgur Family Foundation has bestowed over $100,000 to recipients in Daviess County. The Foundation was incorporated in 1974.

The Foundation was an idea of Ann’s grandparents, Harfield and Mary Frances Davis. Once the idea was formed, Harfield and Mary Frances, as well as Ann’s parents, Robert and Susan Ann Davis Aulgur, moved forward to make the Foundation a reality.

The purpose of the Foundation was to give back to Daviess County and those who supported the D.H. Davis Drug Company since 1855.

“The Davises and Aulgurs recognized the caring and support that the people of Daviess County have given our family throughout their many years of business and wanted to give back to these communities,” Ann says.

The people who began serving the board in 1974 were Robert Aulgur, Susan Ann Davis Aulgur, Mary Frances Davis, Robert Paul and Randall Axon. Others who served later were Joe Snyder, Ann Aulgur Everly, Marilyn Hemry, Dan Lockridge, Mark Everly and Linda Houghton.

The Foundation was governed by bylaws established by attorneys in order to meet requirements set up by the State of Missouri. The bylaws stated that organizations seeking a monetary gift from the Foundation must be non-profit and tax exempt, and located in Daviess County.

“The Davis-Aulgur Family Foundation has been a committed supporter of our nutrition programs for many, many years,” says Deanna Lewis, administrator of the Active Aging Resource Center in Gallatin. “Past donations have helped us provide Meals on Wheels to homebound older adults, purchase coolers used to deliver Meals on Wheels, replace our kitchen flooring, and purchase a refrigerator and a dishwasher.”

The Board of Directors for the Active Aging Resource Center discussed projects and has approved replacing the door to the building’s handicapped entrance in the alley and changing the sign on the front of the building.

Other projects being discussed are replacing a stainless steel double-door refrigerator and replacing the heating and cooling system. Administrator Lewis noted that she had only been administrator for about six months when the Gallatin Lions Club donated $2,865 to install the furnace currently used at the center. After 20 years and several repairs, it’s time to do some upgrades to not only the furnace but the center’s entire heating and cooling system — made possible by the Davis-Aulgur gift.

“Our senior center and nutrition programs would not exist without Daviess County community support,” says Administrator Lewis. “We have been fortunate over the years, but this gift is one of the largest we have received from one entity. We are truly thankful to the Davis-Aulgur Family Foundation Board of Directors.”

“I’ve known the Aulgur and Davis families my whole life,” says Amy McMahon, president of the Gallatin Theater League. “Susan Ann and her mother, Mary Frances, were two of the sweetest people I have ever known.

When those ladies passed away, the family went about making sure their years of selfless service were honored and remembered. Many lives and organizations have been affected by the donations from the Davis-Aulgur foundation. The donation to the Gallatin Theater League will make it possible to continue the children’s theater here into the future. I know the 43 kids in this year’s production will join me in saying “THANK YOU!” “The Gallatin United Methodist Church is once again very fortunate to receive a gift from the Davis-Aulgur Family Foundation,” said Pastor Brad Dush. “The gift will be a blessing as we begin some remodeling projects within the church to create opportunities for young fami-

lies and their children.”

During the first two years of the Foundation, 1974 and 1975, there were no gifts given because time was needed to build up the interest on the principal. After those two years, the first gift was given in 1976. The final board consisted of Robert Aulgur, Ann Aulgur Everly, Mark Everly, Dan Lockridge and Linda Houghton.

“A special gift that we gave for many years was to the ‘Buzz the Bee’ program through the Daviess County Health Department,” says Ann. “We knew this touched the lives of many young children in the county because Buzz the Bee visited all county schools.”

The final gifts have been given and the fund has been closed. Harfield Davis was never a part of the management of the Foundation. He turned that job over to his family and members of the community. He was always quiet, understated and wanted to stay in the background, but his community always remained important to him. He always recognized how important it was to give back.

“The original vision of Harfield Davis for the Foundation has been met,” says Ann. “It has touched many lives. I know no one would have been happier to know how the people in Daviess County were helped.”

Foundation Gifts through the years benefited multiple organizations. The United Methodist Church has received gifts totaling over $20,000. Other beneficiaries were the Gallatin Theatre League, $16,755; Active Aging Resource Center of Gallatin, $14,500; and Daviess County Health Department, $13,499.20. The Gallatin R-5 School District also received over $10,000 in donations.

Other organizations that have benefited through the Foundation include following: Daviess County, First Baptist Church of Gallatin, First Christian Church of Gallatin, Gallatin Youth Football Inc., Daviess County Historical Society, Daviess County Nursing Home, City of Gallatin, Daviess County Extension to University of Missouri-Columbia,Winston R-6 School District, MultiPurpose Center sponsored by City of Pattonsburg, TriCounty R-7 School (Jamesport), Harrison County R-4 School District (Gilman City), Daviess County Fine Arts Council, Gallatin Park Board, Daviess County Library, and Green Hills Head Start.
