Beware of census worker imposter; over half of Daviess County now included in count The Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office has received information that a woman impersonating a U.S. Census worker is going through the county. She is an older, heavy-set woman with salt and pepper hair. She drives a white van, possibly with Nebraska plates.

She asks to enter your home, which is not something a real U.S. Census worker would ask to do. She is also asking for your personal information including your social security number and yearly income. She carries a fake

badge and laptop.

If you have any information, or come into contact with this woman, please do not give her any of your information, and promptly notify the Daviess County Sher-

Groundbreaking on Access II’s Accessible Fitness Center begins; BTC Bank, Gallatin Rotary provide grants for project financing Funds for the more than $750,000 Access II community building have been secured and construction on the 10,000 sq. foot building at 101 Industrial Parkway on Hwy 6 west of Gallatin is underway, according to information released by Access II Independent Living Center.

The independent living center has reached an agreement with locally owned Timberwolf Construction, on plans for the accessible Community Wellness Center.

Timberwolf Construction will be working with other local contractors including Finley Construction, Bottorff Construction, 5 Star Construction, and Nelson Heating and Cooling.

COVID-19 and rain have delayed con-

The non-profit Acess II organization broke ground in June; the building could be completed during the summer of 2021. The fitness center will be in the Industrial Park next to Access II. About $95,000 in funding still needs to be raised to equip the facility.

struction timelines, but things are still moving forward. The building will serve as a community fitness center and a community room open to everyone.

Access II is funding 100% of the building costs from money saved over several years that had been earmarked for a large community project. The idea for that project evolved over time into a Health and Wellness Center with a community center on one side. Access II was going to use the saved money to fund fitness equipment, furnishings, and “Phase 2” of construction, which would have been a walking trail, accessible playground etc.

“Since we did not get the grants and donations we hoped for, we are using the

money we saved to fund the building rather than the additional outdoor aspects we hoped to include,” says Jessica Adkins, Marketing and Development Director.

“This means that Phase 2 construction, including the walking trail/playground will not be happening unless we come up with funding from somewhere.”

Access II is now working on fundraising, including applying for local and national grants to help fund exercise equipment for the center.

BTC bank in Gallatin has committed to providing Access II with $15,000 towards the purchase of fitness equipment for the center. The funds will be dispersed in increments of $3,000 over the next

five years. Gallatin Rotary Club has also assisted Access II in providing a grant through the Kimbrough Challenge and a club match totaling approximately $10,000 that will go toward furnishing tables, chairs, and other items for the community space. CAPNCM, in Trenton has also contributed $500 toward the project.

“We are so thankful to have the support of the community in bringing these services and opportunities to our area,” says Adkins. “When we have the financial backing and support from our local community it helps us secure funding from national, and regional sources.”

OPINION

Aug. 19, 2020

Stop Amendment 3 After college graduation my first newspaper boss observed me wrestling with a story when the words simply refused to flow. He told me to stop, push back from the keyboard, and just tell him what I wanted to say. I sighed, knowing the complexity of my topic had the makings of a very long conversation. But I tried. After a moment’s thought I started with a somewhat simple introduction, excluding all the layers of complicated details. My boss abruptly raised his hand signaling me to stop. “Now,” he said with a wink, “write down what you just said!”

This episode comes to mind whenever I consider election ballot language. The goal is to summarize what usually is a complex proposal in such a way as to fairly represent the whole in a short way most any voter can understand.

Accuracy and fairness is expected.

About the only other thing most voters demand is that when you cast a “Yes” you’re voting in favor of the measure and, conversely, a “No” really means a no. Sadly, that’s not always the case. What’s worse is whenever politicians get so wrapped up in the process that

by Darryl Wilkinson the proposal’s summary printed on the ballot is deceptive and thus dishonest. We should be enraged whenever political interests “game” the process.

This has occurred with Amendment 3 which is to appear on the General Election ballot this November. Cole County Circuit Judge Patricia S. Joyce struck down ballot summary language crafted by politicians for their Amendment 3. In this instance, the attempt at deception reveals much about those backing the proposal and condemns its passage.

The ballot language written by politicians for Amendment 3 was full of objective falsehoods and misleading language designed to trick voters and hide the true intention of the measure — to overturn voter-approved redistricting reforms, and install a new gerrymandering plan in the state constitution that would allow lobbyists and political operatives to draw maps designed to protect incumbents. Judge Joyce wrote: “[A] summary statement may not falsely inform voters a ballot measure will do something it will not,” and the summary “[may not] suggest a measure will change the law when it will not.”

Citizens who put “Clean Missouri” on the 2018 ballot by initiative petition were the plaintiffs recently challenging the ballot summary for Amendment 3. Last week Judge Joyce officially vacated the deceptive ballot summary proposed by sponsoring politicians, so that the ballot title for Amendment 3 will now read as follows:

Off the Editor’s Spike...

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: ● Repeal rules for drawing state legislative districts approved by voters in November 2018 and replace them with rules proposed by the legislature; ● Lower the campaign contribution limit for senate candidates by $100; and ● Lower legislative gift limit from $5 to $0, with exemptions for some lobbyists?

It is despicable that our elected officials wish to overrule voter approved Amendment 1 with their Amendment 3 this November. Everyone needs to understand that politicians, through Amendment 3, are trying to trick voters by hiding a deceptive gerrymandering plan in the state constitution. Look closely at their ballot language, as they proposed, which Judge Joyce struck down:

An important thing you can do

by Congressman Sam Graves

Preliminary numbers are in for the Census and they don’t look good. We’re losing to St. Louis County. Only about 66% of North Missourians have completed the decennial Census, but more than 80% of folks in Missouri’s 2nd Congressional district have already filled it out. However, we’ve still got an opportunity to make up some ground.

The Census is only collected every 10 years, but it’s incredibly important. It’s so important that the Founding Fathers mandated it in the Constitution, and it’s been done every 10 years since

1790, in times of war and peace.

The results of the 2020 Census will have major impacts on all our lives for years to come.

It’s how the federal government determines each state’s population, and it plays a big role in how and where our tax dollars get spent. From rural hospital funding to grants that will fix our roads and bridges, accurate Census data helps communities not only determine the need for them, but also access funding to help pay for those projects.

That’s why it’s so critical that we do our level best to make sure we all complete the 2020 Census.

It’s only a few questions and it usually takes folks less than 10 minutes to fill it out. If you lost the questionnaire they sent in the mail or just find it easier to do on your computer, you can fill out the 2020 Census online at: https://my2020census.gov/.

Perhaps most importantly, filling out the Census online or by mail could save you a visit from a Census taker later this year.

The 2020 Census is important as it will have major impacts on our lives for years to come. You can complete it in just a few minutes, so if you haven’t already, get it done.

We sometimes forget that America is not and never has been a democracy. Pure democracy is dangerous, because it is majority rule. It has been said that democracy is two wolves and one sheep deciding what to have for dinner!

America’s founders have given us a democratic republic, which is representative democracy, an ingenious system wherein the rights of each individual are protected. However, it falls upon “we the people” to main-

tain that inspired form of government, and to remember its true foundational principles.

For example, freedom can only exist with morality. The phrase, “immoral free men” is a contradiction in terms. Unless we have sufficient character and morality, we will not be able to govern ourselves.

When morality declines, the abuse of rights increases, necessitating more government. Just as criminals need jailers and livestock are herded, an immoral

society requires a police state.

We have been seeing the tragedy of immorality without police take a tragic toll on cities that have defunded the police. Likewise, if we ever abandon our morality as a people, we will lose our freedom.

Thankfully, the opposite is also true — that raising our own moral character will help to preserve freedom. It has always been that way.

Allison Ward, Jameson

Our readers write...

Special session takes a detour

by State Rep. J. Eggleston ● The politicians’ deceptive summary for Amendment 3 says it will “create” redistricting commissions, and that the commissions would be “independent.” Both of these claims are false. ● Amendment 3 simply renames already-existing commissions. Under the fair process approved by voters in 2018, the nonpartisan state demographer is tasked with crafting draft plans, which are then reviewed and may be modified by already-existing commissions. ● Amendment 3 would remove the independent check on partisan influence from the voter-approved fair map rules, and give “all redistricting responsibility” to commissions made up of partisan appointees. ● Amendment 3 would even give the state political parties new powers for selecting commissioners, and increase the number of partisan map-drawers in the process. Under the Amendment 3 plan, the Senate Commission would double in size, and the House Commission would also grow in size. ● Politicians claim their plan will “ban all lobbyist gifts.” This is false. ● Politicians are proposing a $5 reduction to lobbyist gift limits as a smokescreen for their redistricting scheme, but their amendment includes exemptions for ways legislators would still be able to accept gifts from lobbyists. ● Politicians wrote overly broad and misleading language to summarize their proposed $100 change to the contribution limit for state senate candidates. ● The ballot language in SJR38 says the amendment would “[r]educe legislative campaign contribution limits”; however, the text of SJR38 would only change a single limit — the limit for state senate candidates — and their proposed change is a reduction of only $100.

Thank heavens Judge Joyce struck down this blatant intent to hoodwink voters.

Thinking back to my old newspaper boss, his advice still applies.

This complex issue is about choosing between Amendment 1 (already approved by voters) and Amendment 3 (what the politicians want).

So, here is where this old editor abruptly raises his hand to signal a stop. Now, we should just mark down what we think – by voting “No” to Amendment 3 this November.

Gov. Parson called a Special Session to address the issue of violent crime. The aspects he felt had room for improvement were about when to possibly try a minor as an adult, protecting witnesses and their testimony, removing residency requirements for cops in St. Louis, and enhancing the law against endangering the welfare of a child by including weapons offenses.

The Missouri Senate took up all of these items in one big bill, SB 1, which it passed and sent to the Missouri House for consideration. The House’s Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the bill on Aug. 10. Any bill that covers multiple topics runs the risk of having one of the provisions be controversial enough that it threatens to kill the whole bill, and there were some committee members that were uncomfortable with one provision or another. Plus, the governor has now announced he would like to add something called Concurrent Jurisdiction to the bill, which would give the Attorney General the

power to help out in prosecuting crimes in cities where the local prosecuting attorney is either overwhelmed or not doing their job.

Consequently, SB 1 has been set aside for now. Instead, the House will offer up separate bills on each topic, and refer them to different committees for evaluation. The issue of protecting witnesses and residency requirements seem to be noncontroversial. But Concurrent Jurisdiction will be controversial with St. Louis House and Senate members as they see it as an insult to St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Kim Gardner, who was the official that took away the McClosky’s guns after they defended their home from protesters.

The reason for adding Concurrent Jurisdiction is it appears the St. Louis prosecuting attorney has become ineffective or unwilling to prosecute violent crime. In 2018, St. Louis had 186 murders, but only 61 of those resulted in charges being filed against a suspect. In 2019, St. Louis had eight

more murders (194), but 21 fewer charges (40). In 2020, St. Louis is on pace for 297 murders and only 61 charges. Their conviction rates on those charges has been declining as well.

For those reasons, Gov. Parson added this topic to the Special Session call.

Daviess County’s namesake: Col. Joseph Hamilton Daviess, hero during the

Battle of Tippecanoe Daviess County, MO,

is named after a Kentuckian killed

by Indians at Tippecanoe -- 25 years before the county was organized.

Joseph Hamilton Daviess grew up a woodsman in America’s frontier. At age 18 he joined a military mounted unit to escort provisions to army outposts north of the Ohio River. After this unit disbanded, Jo practiced law, mostly litigating land cases. It was Jo's custom to walk to his cases clad in deer skin, leggings and coonskin cap. With his rifle on his shoulder, he ranged the woods from one court to another.

Jo Daviess became a well-known public speaker but not a popular politician since he was a Federalist. In 1800 Daviess was appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Kentucky. He held that office until 1807. In November, 1806, Daviess led in legal charges against Col. Aaron Burr, charging him with efforts to levy war against the United States. Even though the fact was later proven against Burr, Daviess lost the case and lost popularity.

During this time Tecumseh and his notorious brother, "The Prophet," formed a confederacy of Indians to stop the whites' westward movement. Their headquarters was at the junction of the Tippecanoe and the Wabash Tippecanoe, Tippecanoe, rivers in north central Indiana. Governor William H. Indiana Indiana Harrison (later to become a U.S. President) decided to form an armed force and strike a decisive blow. Col. Jo Daviess was Aide de Camp of the Kentucky Militia and a major commanding a unit of Indian Dragoons which In 1805 Tecumseh and his brother, a medicine man known as The marched up the Wabash River to Tippecanoe. Tecumseh Prophet, began forming an Indian confederacy in Ohio by practicing was not at the village, but "The Prophet" led a surprise attack on Harrison's superstitious rites. By 1807 their religion had spread to the upper forces with a like number of warriors at 4 a.m. on Nov. 7, 1811. Harrison peninsula of Michigan. Tecumseh was an able orator, a remarkable entered the Indian village and burned it.

This scene depicts a small group of dragoons under the command of Major Joseph H. Daviess meeting an attack of natives during the Battle of Tippecanoe, Nov. 7, 1811. William Henry Harrison led American troops against Shawnee warriors. Fought near the Wabash River in Indiana, the battle ended in Native American defeat, thwarting Shawnee leader Tecumseh’s plans for a united federation of Native American groups.

President James Madison was able to use the battle to rally support for American troops in anticipation of the War of 1812 against Britain.

Tecumseh, leader of Indian alliance

military chief, and a successful negotiator who hated the white man. In 1808 when Tecumseh journeyed south to gain additional support for his alliance, General Wm. Harrison camped 1,000 men outside the village that acted as headquarters for the Indians. Gen. Harrison then provoked the Indians to attack and decimated the village. The destruction of Tecumseh's headquarters disillusioned many of the supporters of Tecumseh, who had believed he and his brother had supernatural powers.

Harrison lost 52 men and Col. Jo Daviess was among those killed. He was buried on the battlefield at Tippecanoe in an unmarked grave. He was 37 years old, married but childless. Counties in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri took his name as monuments to his memory.

Eleven days after the battle, Gen. Harrison stated in official dispatch to the U.S. Secretary of War:

1811:

American Flag of 20 stars and 13 stripes

“I found Major Daviess forming the dragoons in the rear of those companies, and understanding that the heaviest part of the enemy's fire proceeded from some trees about 15 or 20 paces in front of those companies, I directed the major to dislodge them with a part of the dragoons. Unfortunately, the major's gallantry determined him to execute the order with a smaller force than was sufficient, which enabled the enemy to avoid him in the front and attack his flanks. The major was mortally wounded, and his party driven back. The Indians were, however, immediately and gallantly dislodged from their advantageous position, by Captain Snelling, at the head of his company...“

Famous before heroics on the battlefield...

In 1795 Jo Daviess was admitted to the bar and entered on a career that made his name a household word in the West. His eccentricities made him famous. Instead of "riding the circuit," he used to shoulder his rifle and range the woods from town to town; and he usually appeared in court in a hunting costume. In 1799 he acted as second to John Rowan in a duel in which Rowan's antagonist was killed, when both principal and seconds fled to avoid prosecution, Daviess was for some time a fugitive; but, after hearing that Rowan had been arrested, returned, appeared in court as his counsel, and secured his acquittal. It is said that he was the first western lawyer that ever argued a case in the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Way Out

The Jamesport City Council accepted a bid from Shuler Concrete that would complete the street project on Main Street.

The bid was for $7,820.

Wayne Scott discussed the need for more availability for electricity on the park grounds as it is becoming difficult to supply electricity to all the vendors who set up during the summer activities. The city clerk will discuss the issue with Davey Davis, park board president.

Scott also advised the council that there is an abandoned property south of his place that is housing skunks, raccoons and opossums and these varmints are becoming a nuisance.

MDC reminds hunters of new CWD regulations for cervid carcasses The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds hunters, meat processors, taxidermists, and others that new regulations are now in effect regarding transporting deer, elk, and other cervid carcasses into Missouri and within the state, and there are new regulations on cervid-carcass-disposal requirements for meat processors and taxidermists.

The new regulations of the Wildlife Code of Missouri are part of MDC’s ongoing efforts to slow the spread of the deadly disease called Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which affects deer, elk, and other members of the deer family, called cervids.

According to MDC, most deer hunters should not be affected by the new regulations and most meat processors and taxidermists are already properly disposing of deer carcasses.

Refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes in an airtight container before using (the liquid will get kind of syrupy). When ready to serve, pour the syrup into a large punch bowl.

Add the entire gallon of milk and stir. Add all the ice cream by scoops into the punch. Stir gently to mix. The ice cream doesn’t have to melt all the way prior to the party; it serves as the ice, keeping the punch cold.

Graduation parties were very scattered out this year because of the pandemic. Not one party we attended was the same as the next one. That was fun, although I am very sorry for these seniors since they didn’t get to have a traditional ceremony. I do love coffee as many of you know. This recipe was served at a graduation party. It’s to die for! It has two of my most favorite ingredients -- coffee and ice cream. Double win! One word of caution -- if caffeine disturbs your sleep, be careful if you drink this as an evening party. However, this drink just might be worth the lack of sleep!

The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Board of Directors met virtually on Aug. 13 and took action to approve alternate seasons if a school has a sport or sports that cannot continue in the traditional season.

“The traditional seasons are still being offered at this time for those schools able to participate,” said MSHSAA Executive Director Dr. Kerwin Urhahn.

“Today’s (Aug. 13) action by the Board of Directors puts in place a plan of action our staff devised in the event a school is not able to participate partially or in whole,” he added. “This could give those students an op-

portunity to complete a season in their sport.”

Schools may use the alternate fall sport seasons for any sport if the sport meets certain thresholds including, but not limited to, length of traditional season participation and access to traditional postseason.

Schools choosing to use the alternate fall season for any sport will automatically be included in the alternate spring season. Schools may opt out of any alternate spring sport season(s) by contacting the MSHSAA office.

In the plan, winter season would remain intact with the first possible practice being

Coffee Shop Talk

CFAP signup deadline extended to Sept. 11 Mandi Bird, FSA County Executive Director Hello Daviess County producers, thanks for reading the August issue of Coffee Shop Talk!

Wow these crops are looking great! We finished off the month of July with 7.57 inches of rain compared to a normal 4.53 inches, and boy can you tell! This is the greenest August Northwest Missouri has had for quite some time. Fingers crossed for fair weather the rest of the growing season!

Everyone is reminded that due to the Coronavirus, our office is open for business by phone, mail, or email, but we are required to leave our doors locked to the public. To serve you, we are utilizing online tools as much as possible and have a drive-up window to take care of business in person.

The remaining 20% portion of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) payments were certified and signed on August 17. To ensure funding remained for all producers, only 80% of eligible payments were made initially. Daviess County producers should see the second portion in 3-5 business days.

The signup deadline for CFAP has been extended to Sept. 11,

2020. If you have not already reported your production or livestock numbers, please contact the office soon.

Did you have crop losses in 2018 or 2019 due to excessive moisture, flood, or drought? If so, you may qualify for a WHIP+ payment. FSA receives a report from crop insurance that details your unit structure, losses, indemnities, and production to count. If there is a shortfall, compensation may be received through the WHIP+ program.

If you feel you may qualify for a loss in either of these years, please contact the office and we will process your application. It is important to note, 2019 prevent plant is not eligible for a WHIP+ payment.

Have you seen the new loan rates for a farm storage facility loan? FSA can make loans for grain bins, hay sheds, grain trailers, augers and auger wagons, and several other grain and forage handling equipment types. Depending on the funds needed, you could acquire a 3 to 12-year loan term with fixed interest rates of 0.25%- 0.75%.

FSA will finance 85% to 95% of the cost, again depending on the amount of funding needed. Our FSFL program is a good source of cheap financing. Construction cannot begin before approval.

Daviess County Sheriff’s Incident Report

THIS INCIDENT SUMMARY DOES NOT INCLUDE ROUTINE PATROL ACTIVITIES

www.daviesscountysheriffmo.com

Trenton man impaired on Highway 6, arrested for DWI Ryan Massey, 47, Trenton, was arrested Aug. 12, after Daviess County Deputy Dalton Youtsey observed Massey swerving off of the road into the grass and then back onto the highway as he traveled eastbound on Highway 6 from Altamont.

As Deputy Youtsey attempted a traffic stop on the blue SUV, the vehicle continued eastward and traveled over the center of the highway into the oncoming lane of traffic on Highway 6 near Highway DD, finally stopping at the entrance to Terry Implement. Massey was the sole occupant of the vehicle.

According to court documents, Massey was trying to hide a pill bottle between his legs as he exited his vehicle. The deputy had to assist Massey to keep him from falling to the ground.

Massey performed poorly on the standard field sobriety test, and was placed under arrest for DWI. He was taken to Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail for possession of controlled substance and DWI. Bond was denied.

During booking, it was determined that the pills in the bottle were not fluoxetine as labeled, but rather Alprazolam, a schedule 4 controlled substance.

Massey admitted that he had smoked marijuana about four hours prior to the traffic stop and has multiple convictions dating back to 1998, including an active warrant from St. Joseph Police Department for failure to appear on a charge of larceny.

down and his liver enzymes elevated.

Sean says he is now in stable condition. His kidneys are functioning normally, and his liver enzymes are in normal range.

He continues to have heart failure. He will know the severity within the next month.

All proceeds from the raffle will go straight to Sean to assist with living expenses while he recovers.

Access II Health Center (continued from page 1) seeking donations from local businesses, organizations, and community members to finish purchasing fitness equipment and additional items for the center.

“This project is so important to us because it will create more opportunities for our community, especially for people with physical disabilities, who are so often overlooked in planning and design,” says Adkins. “Although the initial hurdle of funding the building is complete, we are not there yet.”

Access II officials say they still need to raise about $95,000 to finish purchasing equipment, furniture, software, and other necessary items for the Health and Wellness Center. Each piece of commercial equipment typically ranges between $5,000 and $10,000.

The facility will be built on property already owned by Access II ILC, inside the Industrial Park located off Highway 6 in Gallatin. The 10,000 square foot facility will be open to the public and will serve two main functions. One side of the facility will be a fully accessible fitness center with 24-hour key fob access.

Community members will have the option to purchase memberships for a monthly fee and some may qualify for memberships on a sliding scale.

The design of the facility and the equipment inside will allow for people with, and those without disabilities, to work toward their fitness and rehabilitation goals. This will be the only public fitness center of its kind in the area where a person who uses a wheelchair or assistive device will have access to this type of equipment.

The Wellness Center will also house a large community room with a fully accessible kitchen, bathroom, and shower. Tables and chairs and will be available to public and private groups, community classes, and events.

Plans for the facility also include classrooms, accessible men’s and women’s locker rooms, showers, and changing areas.

Additional uses for the facility include operating as a cooling and heating center during extreme temperatures, as well as a post-disaster emergency shelter if the need arises.

Access II will also open the facility to anyone who is needing to take a shower who does not have access to do so at home due to their disability.

Access II ILC is a not-forprofit organization that provides disabilities services to eight counties in Northwest Missouri.

All donations to the project are tax deductible.

When the felony warrant from Johnson County was confirmed active, Giles was placed under arrest and transported to the Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail. As the officer assisted Giles out of the patrol vehicle at the jail, he found a plastic bag on the floorboard which contained several pills consistent with Ecstasy.

During the roadside search of the vehicle, the officer also found a 9mm Glock 19 handgun with an extended magazine.

When Giles’ passenger Safiyah K. Harrison claimed ownership of the gun, it was released to her.

However, later review of in-car audio and video revealed Giles had asked Harrison to “take the rap” for the gun, as he said he could not get another gun charge. This information was discovered after Harrison had

Neely, Giles was stopped for speeding and multiple lane violations. The trooper first observed Giles in a gray Ford Escape at the 57-mile marker in Daviess County, and clocked the vehicle’s speed at 96 mph.

Giles stopped on the exit ramp and then accompanied the officer to the patrol vehicle where he provided false information about his identity. When the ID photo did not match, the officer was able to identify the driver as Daekwon C. Giles by using a fingerprint scanner.

Jamesport Post Office

COLLAPSE! The building housing the Jamesport Post Office, located at 201 South Broadway Street, collapsed at about 9:15 a.m. today, Aug. 19. Robert Shields, officer in charge, had just stepped out of the building seconds before it happened. No one else was in the post office.

The rumbling and crash of the brick building was heard up and down the streets from the four-way stop sign in Jamesport. Sue Olsen, who owns Sue’s Soft Stuff to the south, also got out unharmed. Mandy Prescott, who owns the Glamour Shop to the east, is not open on Wednesdays. A small building between the post office and Sue Olsen’s was being renovated and was empty at the time.

The public is being asked to avoid downtown Jamesport as the area is completely blocked off, according to David Roll, Director Daviess County Emergency Management.

All the buildings on the block have been evacuated and the four-way is closed.

Mr. Roll awaits a postal inspector and engineers to access the buildings for decisions.

Historically speaking, Jamesport has been served by a post office for over 160 years and before the town was legally incorporated in 1872. The first post office at Jamesport was established in 1857, according to the 1985 Daviess County History Book.

James Gilliland was the first postmaster serving Jamesport. Rural service was established in 1896; by 1914 Jamesport had six rural routes serving 154 miles. At the time of Jamesport’s Centennial (1872-1972), the Jamesport post office operated in nine different locations but never more than one block away from its present site. By the time the 1985 history book was published, three postal carriers served approximately 275 miles. Today, three rural routes are still actively serving the community.
