Audit reveals City of Coffey missing more than $60,000

M M M M Former clerk under investigation with criminal charges likely; board oversight criticized

An audit of the city of Coffey released July 12 by State Auditor Nicole Galloway shows more than $60,000 missing from the City of Coffey.

According to the audit and over a period of almost two years, the former city clerk failed to make deposits, received improper payroll payments, and falsified board minutes and various financial reports. Coffey has a population of 166, according to the 2010 census.

“My audit found a pattern of missing deposits, suspicious checks, and falsified minutes and financial reports, along with what can only be described as a shell game of moving money between various city accounts in order to avoid detection,” Auditor Galloway said.

“All of this was compounded by minimal, and often non-existent, oversight by city officials.”

Mary L. Browning was the Coffey city clerk from September 2015 to August 2017. She was solely responsible for the financial accounting functions and records of the city. Her employment was terminated on Aug. 2 of last year.

The audit found that during her employment, Browning did not deposit almost $34,000 in utility payments,

including $2,645 she credited to her own utility account.

In addition to the missing deposits, improper payroll checks totaling $24,634 were written to Browning from the city’s water and sewer bank accounts; payroll records also indicate she was overpaid an additional $1,556 because she entered in a different number of hours on the payroll report than what was recorded on her timesheets.

Although city payroll checks require the signatures of both the mayor and the city clerk, members of the city’s Board of Aldermen indicated to the Auditor’s Office that the former mayor often signed blank checks in advance.

As part of the scheme, Browning created false meeting minutes to make it appear the Board of Aldermen authorized her making a withdrawal and deposit between accounts.

Over the course of her employment, Browning made numerous transactions between the city’s nine checking accounts and a savings account. She also prepared false financial statements for the city that significantly overstated the balances in the city’s accounts.

The audit cites lax oversight by both the Mayor and

the Board of Aldermen, which at the time included Browning’s husband.

Alderman Browning voted to approve a pay raise to his wife, a violation of Missouri law, and also approved paying bills at many meetings that included improper payroll checks and regular payroll checks to his wife. In addition, there was a lack of safeguards through basic accounting controls and procedures, including the city’s failure to obtain annual audits as required.

A bank official contacted a board member last August regarding suspicious activity on city bank accounts.

After terminating the city clerk once this information came to light, the board asked local law enforcement for assistance.

The Daviess County Prosecuting Attorney subsequently requested an investigation by the State Auditor’s Office. After an initial investigation by her office, Auditor Galloway determined further investigation through an audit was warranted. The Board of Aldermen then passed an ordinance formally requesting and authorizing the audit.

Public asked to submit drought info

The public is invited to submit information to help local, state and national decision-makers assess drought conditions and impacts in Missouri.

You may submit information about conditions in your area to the Missouri Extension Drought Impact Reporter at arcg.is/1f95Pi, said Pat Guinan, University of Missouri Extension climatologist. Guinan worked with the National Drought Mitigation Center and the National Integrated Drought Information System on the website.

“This site will be very helpful when it comes to assessing drought conditions and compiling impact reports at the local, county and state level,” he said.

Information provided by users is shared with the national Drought Impact Reporter (droughtreporter.unl.edu), the nation’s first comprehensive database of drought impacts.

Input from Missourians helps decision-makers gain a more complete and accurate portrayal of drought conditions affecting the Show-Me State, Guinan said.

A related resource is the U.S. Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu, a weekly map that shows the location and intensity of drought in the U.S. The map is based on measurements of climatic, hydrologic and soil conditions as well as reported impacts and observations from hundreds of contributors across the country, includ-

ing people who contribute to the Drought Impact Reporter.

Drought Monitor authors assess the data and use their best judgment to create the weekly drought map. Drought reports are available to the public and archived for future use.

“I encourage your participation,” Guinan said.

“Nobody knows a drought and its impacts better than a person living in it does. Your local input and expertise is valued and will provide additional information for the author to consider when assessing Missouri drought conditions and categories.”

The Missouri Extension Drought Impact Reporter allows contributors to upload image files up to 10 MB in size. “Pictures are extremely helpful for map authors when assessing drought at the local level,” he said.

You can subscribe to the Drought Impact Reporter RSS feed at moderator.droughtreporter. unl.edu/rssfeed/. Add the two-letter postal abbreviation at the end of the URL to receive a feed for a specific state. For example, the feed for Missouri is at moderator.droughtreporter.unl.edu/ rssfeed/MO. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency provide funds for the Drought Impact Reporter.

Tolerating insults

by Freida Marie Crump

The offended and offensive These are sensitive times. I get lots of reminders on different ways to offend others unintentionally.

We published a submitted photo of a local baseball team recently, printed at the conclusion of their summer season. We got all the names right (I think) and gave credit to the photographer.

But, in an effort to attract readership and avoid a dull repetition of words introducing yet another list of names, we chose a different headline. We printed “Gallatin (team name) takes a knee” because the front row of boys literally was on their knees.

Evidently, some read a subliminal message into this choice of words. Suddenly we were confronted with objections from a couple of our readers, about professional athletes protesting during the playing of the national anthem and how maybe we were encouraging our youth to embrace such disrespect.

Really?

Fortunately, our discussion and disagreement was civil and enlightening. Maybe we were insensitive by unintentionally bringing a national debate into a local circumstance, which could have been avoided simply by a totally different choice of words.

I took no offense being confronted, especially as I realized the sincerity in the way the offense was expressed. I found myself explaining the headline, how I

have personally participated in organized competitive sports as a youth in summer leagues, in school, in varsity competitions and on the collegiate level. Every coach I ever had used the term “Take a knee” to mean “take a break” with an implied “You’d better listen up or else...”

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Athletes are told to take a knee (to rest) whenever a player gets injured. Coaches regularly reward players, signaling the end of a hard practice or a long season with rest, calling players to huddle together by taking a knee before hitting the showers or capping a season’s worth of time spent together.

Note another headline offense by reading the article in this issue about our regional jail. According to board minutes, some readers evidently construed the headline “Jail will begin soliciting for inmates” to mean authorities were seeking prostitutes for inmates! Yes, there’s logic to the misunderstanding and a better choice of words might have sidestepped any confusion. But our jail soliciting for prostitutes ...really?

At other times, an unintentional offense threatens serious consequence.

For instance, this past week we received overnight mail from a law firm accusing us of copyright infringement. This involves a photograph used in an advertisement which we did not create, authorized upon request of the advertiser, and printed (since no copyright mark was evident).

Their offense came packaged with a threatening price tag — despite our position which we hope and believe we can easily defend.

On the other hand, I get offended, too. Curse words are intentionally crude, but I take offense above that threshold whenever I hear a grandchild blurt out “Turd!” or “Shut up!” or “You’re dumb!” …which only mimics what they regularly hear watching cartoons. I’m no fan of rude, crude, or shock comedy on any level.

Sunday, while driving to

morning worship, I was offended by my wife’s cell phone when it sounded off. It was an unsolicited Google alert informing us that our church was less than four minutes away — as if we didn’t know. Liz wasn’t even using the phone! How can it be that something knows where we’re heading before we even acknowledge to anyone else where we’re going? That offends me!

And, talk about the offensive, I’m really offended by President Trump. I can’t imagine how offensive it must be to those sworn to serve, hearing a U.S. President standing on foreign soil shamelessly embrace and intentionally choose a Soviet adversary over the work, advice, and efforts of those sworn to serve our country.

You can be offensive and offended on so many levels of life these days.

In times past I have literally watched people go across the street to avoid meeting me without knowing how I offended.

I hope I don’t offend you when I shrug that off and mumble something about it just being part of the job. We don’t intentionally mean to offend just for the sake of being offensive.

But it is odd, isn’t it? Today it seems like so many more people take offense so easily while purposely not wanting to be accountable or responsible for whatever they unconsciously post on social media. Some revel in the abuse.

The double standard, in the context of what only seems to apply to traditional media, offends me.

Yes, I realize within the realm of the worldwide my personal worries are pitifully small. I hope my offenses to others are likewise small. Thankfully, most people extend patience toward me rather than the handful who express offense. But it’s hard not to take the criticism personally.

While trying to develop a healthy thick skin, I’m trying not to be thick-headed. Offenses voiced against me apply pressure on our resources, and the stress from sleep-marred nights takes its toll as I grow old.

I do hope you don’t take offense by me sharing these thoughts with you. Please note I’m not whining about tariffs which are raising prices on our aluminum press plates, tariffs on newsprint delivered to us from Canada, post office delivery failures or more problems which are offensive and depressing to me ...well, at least, not yet.

Greetings from Poosey.

Pity the poor Aussies. They don’t know whether we like them or not. Although last week our president said that he never changed his mind because in his words, “I’m a very stable genius,” they can’t help but be confused. Long before we began cozying up to authoritarian regimes while slapping democracies in the face, the Commander in Chief attacked the land down under. Shortly after his inauguration he ended a phone call with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull by saying, “I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous.” Two months ago our president spoke of Turnbull saying, “The relationship we have with Australia is a terrific relationship and probably stronger now than ever before, maybe because of our friendship.” Who am I to argue with a stable genius?

Although our nation’s bond with Australia wasn’t in my Top 10 Reasons to Worry last week, I thought that if the president of the U.S. could generalize so freely, I’d take a whack at it myself. Herb and I joined an intrepid little band of travelers to the Land Down Under with a brief excursion to New Zealand a few years ago so I’ll submit my non-political generalizations about the nation-continent.

Australia is dangerous. Although some snake experts might disagree, Aussies claim to harbor 21 of the world’s 25 most toxic snakes. I didn’t see a single snake in Australia so my vote would go to the vicious Emu. It’s the world’s second tallest bird, topped only by the ostrich, reaching over six feet in height and able to travel at 30 mph if they’ve a notion to do so. In our two-week stay in Australia, the Emu was the only creature intent on killing me, and I should note that I don’t stand over six feet and I can’t run at 30 mph. We were touring an animal reserve and had just come around a corner when I was nearly run over by a frightened baby kangaroo, followed closely by a giant Emu intent on taking him down. I thought this animal chase to be interesting, so I followed the two with my camera. The Emu had the poor little joey cornered against a wire fence, so I crept up closer to get a shot of the encounter. It was at that moment that the Emu sensed my presence and came after me. The little kangaroo was no doubt thankful for the distraction, but I was not and now the most dramatic picture of our Australian adventure is that of an Emu’s beak about to torpedo the lens of my camera.

Australians are odd ducks. To my knowledge it’s the only country in the world that can tolerate vegemite, that thick, black gook that Aussies love to spread on their toast. It’s made from leftover brewer’s yeast and a single drop of it on a North American tongue can lead to a crisis in international relations that could out-Trump Trump. The British have their own version called Marmite that’s not one bit better. On the other hand, when the first shipment of American peanut butter was shipped to Australia, the Aussie kiddies thought it was pretty disgusting. Guess it depends which end of the kangaroo you’re scratching.

Aussies howl. The commonly told story is that Australia was colonized by England by sending convicts there as a sort of island prison. Actually, it was too expensive to send a prisoner halfway around the world so most of these convicted men were also skilled tradesmen or laborers. But it holds true that a good many Australians today can trace their lineage back to someone convicted of a crime in England. And I must confess that among the strange ducks we’ve met in our travels, some of the oddest claimed Australia as their home. Herb and I were staying at a lodge in Illinois last summer when we were awakened by a howling noise outside our cabin.

We went out to discover an Australian man and his son making strange noises at the night’s full moon. They apologized, explaining that it was an old Australian custom. They made Herb seem plumb normal.

“No worries” is more than a phrase in “Crocodile Dundee.”

Perhaps it’s their distance from anyone else other than New Zealanders, but the population of Australia seems to have a laid back attitude that I came to envy. As one Australian shopkeeper told me, “No matter what God-awful thing happens in the world it’s going to take a hell of a long time for it to get here.” Maybe that’s why they keep tolerating our insults and smiling back at us.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Viewpoints volley on Right-to-work ballot issue A somewhat familiar issue will appear on the ballot next month when Missourians vote on Proposition A, the so-called “right-to-work” law (see complete ballot sample printed on page 7).

Union labor organizations across the country will be focused on the Aug. 7 primary election here to see if Missouri becomes the next step in a nationwide march toward right-to-work — or if Missouri voters refute policy passed by the Missouri General Assembly. The policy has been on hold since a coalition of opponents gathered enough signatures to put this referendum on the ballot.

Right-to-work prohibits unions from requiring a person to pay union fees as a condition of employment. Workers can already opt out of full union membership and pay only for the cost of collective bargaining with the employer. But under right-to-work, employees could opt out of paying anything for the cost of representation.

A “no” vote would prevent the law from going into place; a “yes” vote supports

making Missouri a right-to-work state.

The labor-backed campaign hoping to defeat Missouri’s law has money from national sources. We Are Missouri is a political action committee which has reportedly received $1 million from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Likewise, those wanting to make Missouri a right-to-work state have received money from outside sources. The Missourians for Freedom to Work reportedly received $232,000 from the National Right to Work Committee, an organization affiliated with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.

Missouri’s vote comes on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that imposed a policy like right-to-work on public-sector unions nationally. State-level right-to-work policies have been gaining steam, with five states adopting the policy since 2012, even in Michigan where labor is heavily union. Wisconsin, West Virginia and Kentucky have adopted right-to-work in recent years.

Proponents of right-to-work argue it

gives workers choice and brings economic benefits to the state. Without right-towork, they say, companies looking to relocate workers will not consider Missouri.

Proponents also argue right-to-work actually helps increase hourly wages through job creation and demand for labor.

Pro-labor groups argue just the opposite. They say right-to-work creates a “free rider” problem where workers can decline to pay for collective bargaining services that benefit them. That weakens unions and drives down wages.

Analysts from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (Washington, D.C.) and the Missouri Budget Project (St. Louis) focus on the impact of Prop A by collecting data on the states bordering Missouri that already have right-to-work laws in effect.

Opponents use their research, to argue how right-to-work laws have no impact on job growth, and negatively affect middleclass wages.

Using data from the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, EPI analysts found that “right-to-work” laws

like Prop A are associated with lower wages and a weaker middle class. This decline in household income leads to lower aggregate demand — that is, less spending in local economies.

Missouri Budget Project research shows that laws like Prop A significantly reduce the health and retirement benefits that employers offer to their workers.

“We estimate that 76,125 fewer workers would be covered by an employer-sponsored health plan under right-to-work,” according to Lindsey Baker of the Missouri Budget Project. “More than 75% of these adults have at least one child.”

Other key takeaways: • For both union and nonunion workers, wages are 3.1% lower in states with laws like Prop A. • Workers are also less likely to have employer-sponsored health coverage in these states.

• Missouri has the same unemployment rate, 3.8%, as its neighbors with these so-called “right-to-work” laws, suggesting no impact on job growth.

to form AHPs. The rule opens the plans up to sole proprietors and broadens the criteria under which they can be formed.

Employers are now able to form AHPs by city, county, state or multi-state metropolitan areas, as well as form them across state lines based on their specific industry.

The administration’s rule also provides small businesses the same regulatory relief Obamacare gave large employers.

Large companies that self-insure are not bound by the law’s benefit mandates and rating restrictions.

Under the new rule, small businesses will be treated the same way. There will still be protections for pre-existing conditions, companies cannot cancel plans because you get sick, and the plans are prohibited from imposing annual or lifetime limits on benefit coverage.

Blythedale driver seriously injured after tire goes flat Kenneth Utley, 35, Blythedale, received serious injuries in an accident that happened at about 7:53 p.m. on July 12 in Daviess County.

According to the highway patrol, Mr. Utley was northbound on I-35. About five miles north of Cameron, the tire on his 1998 Ford E150 deflated, causing the vehicle to travel into the median.

Mr. Utley overcorrected back onto I-35. As his Ford wagon crossed the northbound lanes, the back right portion struck the front left portion of a vehicle driven by Betsy Kimball, 52, Bonner Springs, KS. Mr. Utley’s vehicle then traveled off the east side of the roadway and overturned, coming to rest on its top facing west. Ms. Kimball’s vehicle, a 2009 MAC, came to a controlled stop on the shoulder facing north.

Mr. Utley was transported to Cameron Regional Hospital by Daviess County EMS. The accident was investigated

by Trp. M.W. Neely, assisted by Cpl. J.M. Cross, Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and KAW Fire Department.

Triumph Foods donates over 30,000 pounds of meat to Second Harvest

Storm damages pole at Dollar General A wind storm at about 8:25 p.m. on July 13 snapped an electric pole on the east side and toward the back of the Dollar General Store in Gallatin, pulling the wiring from the roof. Dollar General is located at 105 Park Street.

“The pole didn’t fall all the way, and it ripped a hole through the roof,” said Jessica Higdon of Gallatin, assistant manager at the store.

The store doesn’t close until 10 p.m. and Jessica and several other employees were in the store when it happened.

panels. A call was placed to the Gallatin Fire Protection District.

“They came quick and disconnected everything,” said Jessica.

“The plastic melted and everything shorted out, which caused a smell of something hot. But we caught it in time and there was no fire.”

The city utility crew arrived right after the fire department.

They reinforced the damaged pole. Power was restored and the store was open again by 6 p.m. on July 16. The city brought a new pole and finished getting it set by Tuesday afternoon, July 17.

Electricians and roofers have been working inside the store the last couple of days.

Everything in the coolers inside the store was lost.

“The roofer and electrician will come back when the city transfers electricity from the old pole to the new one just to make sure everything is working properly,” Jessica said.

Soybean disease scouting school On Friday, July 20, an event will be held near Maryville for all growers interested in soybean disease scouting. New State Field Crops pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette will be on hand with other University of Missouri and MU Extension experts to answer questions and lead demonstrations on soybean diseases at the 2018 Northwest Soybean Scouting School.

Topics will include proper soybean disease scouting, fungicide resistance management, and many more. Although many common diseases are slow to appear this year, scouting efforts have found several yield-limiting diseases in fields including Septoria brown spot, Frogeye Leaf Spot and bacterial leaf blight. At this event you will learn the proper ways to identify and treat these diseases on your farm.

The 2018 scouting school is a free event hosted by the MU Certified Strip Trial Program and MU Extension, and is sponsored in part by the Missouri Soybean Association and USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and will be located in a producer’s field at 27324 Katydid Road, Maryville. This location is one mile south of 136 on the east side of Maryville.

For more information, contact regional agronomists Andy Luke at (660)-425-6434 or Wayne Flanary at (660)-446-3726, or you may contact your local University of Missouri Extension center.

Making silage from damaged corn

Drought has damaged corn in many areas. Growers should examine fields for grain potential. Corn fields and even some irrigated fields have suffered severe drought or heat damage. Silage can salvage this crop, but some harvest modifications may be needed.

Most of the green, low grain corn is too wet right now to make good silage directly. In fact, even plants with brown bottom leaves may be too wet because stalks hold so much moisture. Usually, 65% to 70% moisture is ideal for bunker-type silos, but green stalks and leaves of corn can contain over 80% water.

Direct chopping and ensiling this wet corn can cause heavy seepage and a sour silage. The easiest way to lower moisture content is to wait until plants dry more naturally.

This may not happen until later and then it might quickly get too dry. If you can’t wait, you can windrow corn and allow it to field wilt a few hours before chopping.

Taking the time to check the moisture content before harvesting could save a lot of trouble later. Missouri University publication G3151 contains detailed information on how to measure the moisture content of silage using a microwave oven.

Drought-damaged corn should be chopped to 3/8 to 1/2 inch in length. This length of chop should help in packing the silage to exclude as much oxygen as possible. Producers should also sharpen McATEE'sbefore MAYTAG copy 3.e$S_McATEE's MAYTAG 5/30/18 the knives on their equipment making silage.

High nitrate levels are frequently found where high levels of nitrogen fertilizer were applied and where drought-damaged corn is chopped a few days after a rain. Be sure to raise cutter bar to leave 10 to 12 inches of stalk in the field. Nitrates tend to accumulate in the lower portion of the stalks of drought stressed corn.

Newspaper headline causes confusion; safety issue on regional jail’s van fixed Director Ed Howard advised the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Board that they may receive phone calls in regard to a newspaper article written about the May board meeting in the Gallatin North Missourian. The headline of the article, “Jail will begin soliciting for inmates,” caused some confusion. Mr. Howard said he had already received several phone calls from people asking if it meant the jail solicited as in “requesting,” or if it meant the jail solicited as in “pimping” for inmates.

Mr. Howard wanted the board members to be aware. The board will review the minutes prior to them being submitted to the paper.

In other business at the meeting held June 29, Deputy Director Tim Carder reported the supervisors recently attended training on “dealing with difficult people.”

The grated steps on the new vans were posing a tripping hazard for detainees. Bob Barker came to the facility and modified the steps to rectify this safety issue.

Mr. Carder also noted that in July, the Missouri Sheriffs Association will be hosting a basic training class at the jail’s training facility, and will provide 40 hours of training to new hires.

Mr. Howard reported that the five transport vehicles are now equipped with audio/video recording.

Golf association awards scholarship to Megan Cox

Sports exhibit continues at Grundy County Museum Although the Smithsonian component of the Hometown Teams exhibit departed July 1, the locally produced sports exhibit continues through the Missouri Day Festival weekend in October at the Grundy County Museum.

The local sports exhibit identifies and celebrates the records of Grundy County’s athletes competing in American Legion teams, Trenton Merchants Teams, TBA and all the county’s public school teams.

In addition to a display of sports equipment and school

memorabilia, such as uniforms and trophies, 25 information and photo panels highlight each of Grundy County’s five schools and all the sports played by high school teams. Video interviews run continuously as local sports personalities recall their experiences as players and coaches.

Ever wonder who Burleigh Grimes was? The museum “tells all!” “Ol Stubble Beard,” as he was called, pitched 314 complete games, won 20 games five times, managed the Brooklyn Dodgers and is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Oh yes, he lived in Tren-

ton. Learn more at the Grundy County Museum, 1100 Mable Street, Trenton.

Lewis & USA Junior Men ousted from World Tournament The USA Junior Men’s Softball Team exited the WBSC Junior Men’s World Championship Tournament last Friday following a 9-2 loss to Argentina in the playoff round.

Lewis pitched four innings without allowing an earned run until his final inning when Argentina touched him for three earned runs.

Lewis threw 17 innings in the world tournament without allowing an earned run before giving up three in the finale.

USA absorbed a 6-5 loss to the Czech Republic last Thursday in the final game of pool play.

Lewis pitched five innings in relief and drove in a late run for the USA Junior Men.

A ltamont Uni ted Meth odi st Our attendance this Sunday was very small. Hopefully, next Sunday will be better. Dennis Croy will be our Gideon speaker at 9:30 worship time. Songs for Sunday School were “I’ll Fly Away,” “Shall We Gather at the River,” and “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

Lesson focus was “The Widow and the Unjust Judge,” from Luke 18:1-8. Another discussion was about Paul being affected by what he called a thorn in the flesh. He pleaded three times with God to take away the thorn.

Prayer needs are for our long time friend Delbert Hiley and for much needed rain for our parched land.

Gallati n Uni ted Meth odi st Pastor Brad Dush opened the worship service with prayer as Jan Johnson played the prelude and Eli Lawinger lit the altar candles. Pastor Brad’s children’s message was “Filled with the Spirit.” The message “Starting on E” was based on Ephesians 5:15-20.

Dr. Richard Young was a pioneer in Clinical Pastoral Education at Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem, NC. He was also an adjunct professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, while I was a student there.

Realizing we young preachers would spend much of our lives dispensing words, he tried to impress on us their importance and power. To wit he told the following true story. The director of nursing asked him to “visit” with a student nurse. “She is a beautiful, capable young lady,” the director said. “She has the potential, but she keeps messing up. Sometimes it appears deliberate.”

In the visits with the student, Dr. Young learned she was the older of two sisters. She was a late bloomer, a beautiful girl now but that had not always been true. An uncle would visit the family regularly and often tell the younger sister, “You are so beautiful.” Then, he jokingly said to the older girl, “and you are so ugly.”

Bro. Wade Paris The child translated that to mean she was not only unattractive but also dumb. She told Dr. Young, “I've always been this way; I can't do anything right.” They were just words. The uncle did not molest her; yet, he nearly destroyed her life.

Realizing the power of words, I have resisted using modern social media. I consider myself thick-skinned and can take criticism; but who knows what some anonymous slur might stir in me? Even worse, would I be tempted to respond in kind?

When Kyle Edmund lost a pro tennis tournament, an anonymous Facebook user wrote, “You need to have your throat cut out and your decomposing, bug-infested body fed to wild pigs.” What?

Like I said, I am not a user of social media. I hear enough of it second handto know it is out of control. People often think things that should never be said, thoughts that one would never say face to face. Using this newfangled media, one can do great harm and hide behind anonymity.

Charles Blanton was the editor of the Sikeston, MO, newspaper when I lived there. He had an editorial policy I admired. He would print anything you sent if you signed it but nothing anonymously.

Social media can be toxic. Before you write those vitriolic words, meditate on these — “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in God's sight.” (Psalm 18:14)

Water plant has kinks to work out Public Works Director Mark Morey is still trying to get the new water plant dialed in. Morey explained to the Gallatin Board of Aldermen that the plant is producing water but Ross Construction is still having issues replacing a valve on filter #2.

Morey also noted at the July 11 meeting that the floor in the water plant lab still needs to be sealed and will be running on one clarifier this week due to painting and additional upgrades.

The plant is still making quality water and the hardness is approximately half of what it was previous to the new plant. The new plant is producing approximately 320,000 gallons of water per day.

The big clarifier at the wastewater plant is not working and crews are trying to figure out the cause. Discussion was held on maintenance concerns with People Service at the wastewater plant.

Street crews are continuing to patch pot holes. The board was pleased with the chip seal project on South Prospect.

The remaining windows at the cupola building have been boarded up and painted.

Morey provided a LED security light quote for 45 lights at $5,422.50. The board approved buying the lights and to transfer Capital Improvement Sales Tax money for the purchase.

Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for July 11, which included: one dog at large; one welfare check; three child custody disputes; one property damage; one ani-

mal problem; one peace disturbance; four thefts; and one domestic disturbance.

The Police Department had no issues over the July 4 holiday.

There seemed to be fewer fireworks than usual this year. They also had no issues during the livestock show that took place this past week.

The board reviewed a list of 14 potential condemnable properties.

There is one dog in the pound.

The June Transaction Report was approved.

Bills in the amount of $124,523.03 were approved for payment.

The board reviewed the SemiAnnual 2018 Financial Review.

City Clerk Hattie Bailey is still waiting on confirmation of the outstanding USDA sewer and water bond amounts. The board will finish review at the next meeting. Eichler’s bookkeeping for May 2018 was reviewed.

Snyder Invoice 112.0059.11-33 was approved in the amount of $15,645.18.

An ordinance was approved to establish a procedure to disclose potential conflicts of interest and substantial interests for certain municipal officials.

Discussion was held on the benefits of rescinding the park property tax and approving a park sales tax. If it was approved the park board would be replaced with an advisory park board that wouldn’t have to meet the monthly meeting quorum requirement.

Alderman Steve Evans led a discussion on the budget con-

cerning the USDA funds deposited and expensed in 2018 for the new water plant.

The board entered into closed session and then re-entered open session. The board adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the regular meeting for the City of Gallatin held on July 11 at city hall.

Two hurt when vehicle strikes tree

Two people from Neosho were hurt in an accident that happened in Daviess County on July 17.

According to the Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as Gary Richards, 63, Neosho, was northbound on I-35. About five miles north of Cameron he lost control of his 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

The vehicle ran off the east side of the roadway and struck a tree; it came to rest facing north.

Mr. Richards received serious injuries and was transported

by Daviess County Ambulance to Liberty Hospital. He was not wearing his seat belt.

Drought stays as beef farmers plan on fall rains to make winter pasture Stunted, stemmy pastures unable to support grazing cattle have potential. Depend on fall rains to bring fall regrowth, says University of Missouri Extension forage agronomist Craig Roberts.

Cool-season grass growth always slumps in summer. Fescue goes dormant. This year, the slump dives deep with lack of rain and too much heat. In spite of that, Missouri farmers should prepare for fall regrowth for winter grazing.

Roberts reminds farmers to think back to the big drought of 2012. After a prolonged dry spell, rains returned Sept. 1. After the drought, grass grew and soybean fields made big yields.

Fall rains and renewed growth are normal. Sometimes remnants of hurricanes, as in 2012, bring big rains.

To prepare for fall growth every year, farmers clip pastures to encourage regrowth and apply 40 to 50 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer. Then they wait for rains and new grass. Often as not, it works.

“If you prepare and it rains, you win,” Roberts says. “If not prepared, you can’t win.”

Roberts cautions farmers to not clip too early. “Wait to clip the canopy until mid-August.”

Friendly weeds may prove welcome this year, Roberts says.

Grassy weeds such as crabgrass, foxtail, barnyardgrass and goosegrass are summer annuals. “Weeds are just waiting to grow. If we get some rain, they may make forage to bale.”

“Weeds aren’t great,” Robert adds. “But this year, take what Mother Nature gives. However, avoid baling poisonous or thorny weeds. We just want friendly weeds.”

Cool-season grasses have two growing seasons. The spring season provides two-thirds of annual production. That other third of growth usually goes into stockpile, which is left unbaled and held for winter grazing.

When cows harvest grass by grazing, it cuts winter feed bills.

Management-intensive grazing, taught in MU grazing schools, boosts production per acre by one third.

Roberts says he’s getting lots of phone calls about clipping pastures now. Farmers want to speed regrowth, but he urges patience. “Wait until the first or second week of August.”

By nature, Missouri farmers take risks. “Just wait and play the odds,” he says.

Regional MU Extension field crops or livestock specialists advise on managing grass and cow herds.

Perkins Imprints in Lock Springs Tisha can screen print anything on cotton or polyester material, from shirts to fold-out chairs. All colors are available, newborn to larger sizes, with over 100 brands to choose from, regular t-shirts, sports wear, hoodies, polo shirts, jackets, etc.

Tisha will have the ability to print any marketing and promotional products imaginable — business cards, flyers, brochures, yard signs, small or large vinyl banners, event tickets, badges, signage, magnets, trading cards, personal checks, greeting cards, retractable banner stands, table throws, pop up tradeshow displays, canopy tents, flags, and more.

Tisha’s goal is to cover all of Daviess County.

“I expect my customers will include school districts for spirit shirts, churches for fund raisers, private parties for weddings, birthday parties, poster boards, and just about anything else you can think of.”

Tisha was previously em-

ployed at the Gallatin Publishing Company. She is self-taught in photography and computer skills, and those skills were enhanced by her work in composition at the publishing company.

Entering the world of business ownership as an entrepreneur, she received her equipment at the end of May and it took a week to set up — not without difficulty.

“I was working a full-time job with two kids involved in sports,” Tisha says. “I spent all of June from morning to night for four weeks straight learning the process.”

She was doing something wrong. Frustrated, she hired someone to come to the shop and walk her through the steps.

That helped, but didn’t solve the problem. So, over the July 4 holiday, she and her husband spent the day going through blogs from other screen printers. The bloggers suggested she test the screen print a different way.

“I tried it and it worked perfectly — I finally printed my

p age 1)

first shirts!” she says. “It was definitely a learning experience.

My family has been really supportive throughout the whole process.”

She and her husband Luke have two children, Liberty, 12, and Liam, four.

Perkins Imprints is the only screen printing working business in Daviess County, according to Tisha’s research. There are other businesses that offer heat press in the surrounding area.

Screen printing differs from heat press in that screen printing doesn’t peel off. During screen printing the wording and designs are embedded/baked in a 350-degree oven to dry into the material. With heat press the designs are ironed on or pressed on.

The idea is to apply an image or letters through a screen in order to place it on the object being screen-printed.

“It may sound simple,” says Tish, “but it requires special

inks, emulsion and screens, ink thinner, emulsion remover, de-hazer, dark rooms, and an exposing unit.”

This type of image placement usually requires a minimum order. Still, it is the method widely used for big orders because it can complete large orders easily after the initial setup is complete.

Screen printing is favored by those who are looking for finer details in each print.

Heat pressing a design onto a garment is exactly what it sounds like. The design is uploaded to a machine that prints it on vinyl.

The vinyl replication is used to apply the design using both heat and pressure on the garment.

Both methods have their ad-

vantages and in the near future, Tisha plans to have a vinyl cutter and offer heat pressing as another printing option.

Audit shows $60,000 missing “Particularly for a town this size, the amount of missing money we discovered can have a direct impact on the services available to residents,” the auditor said.

“This is a serious breach of public trust at the expense of citizens. In addition to the recommendations the audit gives to city officials to help them work to restore that trust, I’ve provided information from the audit to appropriate law enforcement agencies to determine further action.”

Auditor Galloway has turned the report results over to local, state and federal law enforcement authorities and says her staff stands ready to assist prosecutors in any way possible.

Although the audit report reveals a loss of about $60,000, investigating Daviess County Deputy Robert Mazur thinks the

final amount of money lost will be closer to $64,000.

“The audit is a major piece but not the entire investigation; the audit is evidence of probable cause,” says Deputy Mazur. The Daviess County Sheriff ’s office is obtaining investigative subpoenas to send to banks and other businesses, a process which usually involves several business days.

Annie Gibson, Daviess County Prosecuting Attorney, released a statement saying her office is working closely with the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, the Missouri Auditor’s Office, and other state and local agencies to ensure that a thorough investigation is completed. Once the investigation is complete, it will be sent to her office and a charging decision will be made.

If you have any information about this matter, Prosecutor

Gibson urges you to contact the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department at 660-663-2031, or email daviess@windstream.net More specifics from the audit The City of Coffey received an overall audit rating of poor.

Specific details of money loss and other concerns are noted by the audit which began on Dec. 4, 2017: • etween eptember

and August 2017, the former city clerk did not deposit $33,984 of recorded utility receipts.

• mproper payroll he ks to taling $24,634 were written to the former city clerk from the city’s water and sewer bank accounts from April 29, 2016, through July 28, 2017.

ments totalin on o the 42 former city clerk’s regular payroll checks.

According to city officials, the former city clerk created false meeting minutes indicating a special board meeting was held on Feb. 23, 2017, authorizing a withdrawal from one of the city’s savings accounts and subsequent deposit into three other city bank accounts; allowing the former city clerk to conceal a portion of account shortages.

Some activities involving former lderman rownin reat ed a conflict of interest, and the employment of relatives directly supervised by the oard an ompromise the oard s ob e tivity Former lderman rown ing created a conflict of interest when he voted to approve salary increases and payroll checks to his wife, the former city clerk.

Despite concerns related to the former city clerk’s handling of disbursements and utility payments and prior audit findings, the board has not established adequate segregation of duties or supervisory reviews over the various financial accounting functions performed by the city clerk. The city does not obtain annual audits as required.

Significant weaknesses exist in the city’s accounting controls and procedures. The city’s procedures for receipting and depositing monies are poor. Controls and procedures over bank accounts and reconciliations need improvement.

Despite a similar concern in a prior petition audit of the city, the city continues to maintain an excessive number of bank accounts. The former city clerk did not perform monthly bank

reconciliations from March 2017 through July 2017. The board and the former city clerk failed to monitor the city’s cash balances.

Despite a similar concern in a prior petition, city officials do not maintain accurate accounting records and financial statements. The former city clerk made excessive and unauthorized transfers between various bank accounts, and did not always deposit utility receipts into the proper bank account, which led to commingling of restricted funds. The list of refundable utility deposits was not accurate and not reconciled to the balance of the utility deposit bank account.

Controls over the city’s computer are not sufficient. The city has not established adequate password controls to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to the city’s computer and data.

The city clerk was not required to change passwords periodically or have a minimum number of characters in the passwords.

Security controls are not in place to lock the city’s computer after a specified number of incorrect logon attempts or after a certain period of inactivity.

The city did not have antivirus software installed on the city’s computer to ensure protection of city data. The city clerk does not store data backup files at an offsite location.

The city did not obtain adequate documentation for two disbursements pertaining to software technical support services.

It should be noted that the Missouri Municipal League and other statewide agencies offer programs to assist in the proper training of board members.
