County tax levy increases 15 cents; Senior Service tax continues Nobody outside of elected courthouse officials attended the Daviess County Tax Levy Hearing held on Aug. 26, which convened as required by law. But that doesn’t mean that discussion was without public interest.

During the hearing Presiding Commissioner Jim Ruse stated that sales tax revenue received countywide was up some this first half of the year, but will probably level out for the rest of the year. He also stated he saw the

Frances celebrates 106th birthday!

Frances Whitt turned 106 on Aug. 28, and hundreds of people sent her happy birthday wishes via the mail and social media messaging. Frances is a resident at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab in Gallatin.

Frances is well remembered for her pies and other homemade cooking at the former Whitt’s Dinner Bell in Gallatin.

The “Baby Doll” you see on the cake in the picture is a nickname Denver “Doodle” Whitt gave Frances when she was around 16 years old -- not knowing that many years later she would marry his nephew, Elmer Whitt.

Frances was in good spirits on her birthday, according to her niece, Sandy Jean Adams of Jamesport. She talked about baking pies and making onion rings. Her daughter, Shirley Hancock, grandson, Tony Josta, and great-granddaughter and husband, Jennifer and Matt Hanlos, were able to make it down from Iowa to see her. They want to thank all the Gallatin people who sent birthday wishes and cards to her. They add that Frances is an extremely sweet lady with a wonderful lookout on life.

UTV ablaze at city stop sign Gallatin police and fire departments responded to a Polaris RZR on fire at East Mill and South Clay in Gallatin at about 12 noon on Aug. 28.

Police Chief Mark Richards says the driver had stopped at a stop sign. He heard popping noises in the back of the Razor UTV and saw that a gas can in the engine compartment was on fire. He was able to pull the gas can out of the vehicle and throw it in the street.

Both the gas can and the UTV were on fire when police arrived.

Police were able to extinguish the fires using two city fire extinguishers. The Gallatin Fire Protection District arrived and hosed down the vehicle.

The male driver received minor burns, but was not transported from the scene. A female passenger was not injured.

Chief Richards says UTVs are permitted on city streets in Gallatin with a city permit.

Smithfield hog barn destroyed by fire A barn at Smithfield Farms was destroyed by fire early morning, Aug. 26.

Jamesport Rural Fire and Rescue and Grundy County Rural Fire Department responded to the fire at the hog operation farm on Route B, north of Jamesport and west of Trenton.

The fire destroyed a gestation barn which housed about 700-800

hogs. Employees were able to move the hogs out of the burning building with minimal loss.

Hogs are being moved to the Newtown site for farrowing. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The fire department was on the scene for around six hours, from 1:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.

increases in liability, property, and health insurance premiums as the biggest strain on the county’s next budget year.

Mr. Ruse also said that Daviess County is not compliant with the Missouri auditor’s request for the general revenue to maintain a reserve balance of 125% of yearly expenditures.

Commissioner David Cox noted how expensive repairs and maintenance that needs to be done to the courthouse building could be an additional strain on next year’s budget.

During the tax hearing, Daviess County Clerk Ronetta Burton read the Assessed Valuations After Board of Equalization for 2020.

The Pro Forma Summary received from the Missouri auditor’s office shows the maximum tax rate that could be levied for 2020 to be $0.3573 per $100 of assessed valuation. The maximum voted levy is $0.4000 per $100 of assessed valuation, less $0.0500 sales tax revenue. The levy for 2019 was $0.1193.

Clerk Burton also gave the commission a history of when the voluntary reductions were taken

showing how the tax levy went from $0.35 to the current $0.1193.

In 2007 a voluntary reduction of $0.1852 was taken; in 2008 a voluntary reduction of $0.2354 was taken; and small reductions of less than $0.01were also taken in 2009 and 2010.

Commissioner Ruse noted how a 5-cent increase in levy would bring in an additional $72,300; a 10-cent increase in levy would bring in an additional $145,000; and a 15-cent increase in levy would bring in an additional $215,000.

The maximum amount of reinstatement of the voluntary rollback would be $0.2380.

David Cox made a motion to set the 2020 tax levy at $0.2693 per $100 valuation which would be an increase from last year of $0.1500; Wayne Uthe seconded, and the motion passed, 3-0.

The official tax hearing adjourned after the 15-minute meeting. Present were Jim Ruse, David Cox and Wayne Uthe, county commissioners, Ronetta Burton, county clerk.

County recorder Jane McKinsey also attended.

Prior to the county tax levy

hearing, a similar meeting was officially convened for the Senior Service Tax Levy Hearing. This hearing lasted 10 minutes.

Clerk Burton officially swore in Patty Baker and Ron McNeel as two new members of the Senior Services Tax Fund Board.

Present were Senior Services Tax Fund Board members Jean Fales, Loren Uthe, Linda Evans, Baker and McNeel. Also present were Commissioners David Cox and Wayne Uthe, and clerk Burton. No one from the general public attended.

Clerk Burton read the Assessed Valuations After Board of Equalization for 2020, and the Pro Forma Summary received from the Missouri auditor’s office showing the maximum tax rate that could be levied for 2020 to be $0.0498 per $100 of assessed valuation. The maximum voted levy is 5-cents per $100 of assessed valuation. There were no questions and no discussion regarding the new tax levy rate.

Linda Evans made a motion to set the 2020 tax levy at $0.0498 per $100 valuation; Ron McNeel seconded, and the motion passed, 5-0.

New Gallatin restaurant opens next week BB’s Down Home Cooking is set to open next Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 200 Park Street in Gallatin.

Christine Beagley and her daughter Meranda Baldwin are owners. Originally from Salt Lake, Utah, the family moved to Gallatin in 2002.

Meranda worked at Joe Jumps, the diner formerly housed in the building, which closed at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis this year.

Christine is an army veteran and served in the military as cook.

“I’ve cooked for generals,” says Christine. “I’ve been in and out of food services and bakeries all my life.” She has been working as a professional cake decorator out of her home. The business became so big her husband complained that she needed to do something else.

“We were joking around about opening a restaurant together,”

says Meranda. “Then this place became available and mom ran with it.”

“It went from little to big almost overnight,” Christine says.

BB’s Down Home Cooking will feature cooking, “like grandma used to make.” On the menu will be burgers, tenderloins, daily lunch and dinner specials, all made from scratch.

The diner will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through

Thursday and from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Closed Sundays.

A website is coming where you’ll be able to order take out and delivery online.

In addition to the restaurant, the building will house a bakery and a crafters corner. Crafters from the area can rent a space and bring in their items to sell.

There is still space left, so call 816-714-0516 if you’re interested.

USDA updates provisions in Farm Bill for highly erodible land and wetlands The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its final rule on determining whether land is considered highly erodible or a wetland, integrating input from the public and making updates in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill. This final rule follows a focused effort by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve consistency and use of science in making determinations. To be eligible for most USDA programs, producers must be conservation compliant with the highly erodible land and wetland provisions.

“Feedback is a very important, and we appreciate all of

those who help us improve how determinations are made,” said Scott Edwards, Missouri State Conservationist. “These provisions aim to reduce soil loss on erosion-prone lands and to protect wetlands for the multiple benefits they provide.”

The final rule has been published in the Federal Register.

This follows an interim final rule published Dec. 7, 2018.

This final rule confirms most of the changes made by the December 2018 interim final rule and makes these additional updates.

• Adding the requirement of the 2018 Farm Bill that USDA

will make a reasonable effort to include the affected person in an on-site investigation conducted prior to making a wetland violation technical determination.

• Further clarifying how wetland hydrology is identified for farmed wetlands and farmed wetland pasture.

• Adding clarification to the consideration of best-drained condition for wetland hydrology in keeping with the definition of prior converted cropland.

• Relocating the provision that wetland determinations can be done on a tract, field, or subfield basis in order to improve clarity.

OPINION

Sept. 2, 2020

A worthwhile read

If history doesn’t interest you, I understand. Just skip this column; no offense meant, none taken. But before you roll your eyes and turn the page, consider... ● The murder rate this year in Kansas City aside, the two most violent years in Missouri history was 1861-62. Over 400 battles, skirmishes, armed clashes and other military actions were fought on our soil over an 18-month period. ● Black Lives Mattered in Missouri when 19 colored Union infantry soldiers died while fighting off a force of 350 mounted Missouri State Guardsmen and guerrillas (killing 30-40) at the Battle of Island Mound near the Osage River on Oct. 29, 1862. The Black soldiers of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry were outnumbered 6-to1 but stood firm, well aware that if captured they most certainly would be executed. The New York Times reported this as the first recorded battle of an organized colored troop unit -- and it happened in Missouri. Today you can visit the Battle of Island Mound Historic State Park (est. 2012), located eight miles southwest of Butler in Bates County, south of Kansas City ...about 135 miles from Gallatin.

Off the Editor’s Spike...

Want more? Then read on.

Arcadia Publishing and The History Press graciously provided me with a paperback copy of a new book which would be welby Darryl Wilkinson comed into the library of anyone interested in the American Civil War. Obviously, this is a marketing strategy. But in this instance, any words of endorsement are earned because this book is an excellent read.

“The War for Missouri: 1861-62” is written by Joseph W. McCoskrie, who retired as a lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army after 28 years of service. Some people know him as a bank executive; others perhaps as a military history instructor for the ROTC programs at Illinois State University and the University of Missouri. You might bump into him at the National Churchill Museum at Fulton where he spends some of his time as a volunteer tour guide.

McCoskrie has obviously spent much of his time researching and writing this excellent account of Missouri during the crucial first two years of the Civil War. The book is an easy read. The 128-page paperback includes photographs and maps and readily points to other resources for further reading as topics are presented.

I especially liked the glossaries at the end of the book. One concisely defines the very confusing Union military organizations which operated in Missouri (boy, I wish I’d stumbled into this summary years ago). This is followed by a “Who’s Who” wearing Union blue in Missouri during 1861-62.

Then, McCoskrie presents the same for the Confederates. What a great reference!

Throughout the book McCoskrie goes beyond the chronicle of battles by providing context in citing social and economic realities of those times. His introduction affirms the significance of Missouri’s plight during the Civil War and its strategic importance to both North and South. He consistently supports his broad overviews with specific details. For instance...

Missouri ranked third in the nation’s corn and pork production and had a reputation for raising horse and mules ...it had rich resources of lead and iron and a transportation network of 800 miles of rail line and abundant riverboat transportation services ...but most critically, the North and South leaders needed to realize Missouri, with 15% or 1/7-th of the South’s military-age population, was essential to control when waging war successfully.

This he supports by summarizing the 1860 Census, listing the white male population of military age (18-45) in Southern states as follows: ● Alabama 100,000 ● Arkansas 65,000 ● Florida 16,000 ● Georgia 112,000 ● Kentucky 181,000 ● Louisiana 83,000 ● Mississippi 70,000

● Missouri 233,000 (15% of the South’s total) ● North Carolina 115,000 ● South Carolina 55,000 ● Tennessee 159,000 ● Texas 120,000 ● Virginia 197,000

McCoskrie then explained why Missouri ranked so highly, providing insights about the developing westward movement and the reasons why Missouri became the Gateway to the West (especially via German immigration). There is compelling evidence that Missouri would have labeled itself more “West” than either North or South ...but for politics. McCoskrie concisely weaves state and national political realities throughout this literary work.

This isn’t the first book published by Arcadia that has a treasured place in my personal library. Arcadia Publishing is among the nation’s leading publishers of local history books, connecting people with their past. The company publishes about 500 new books of local interest and local history each year. You can view more than 15,000 titles at www.arcadiapublishing.com or at www.historypress.net, If you enjoy reading about the Civil War as I do, then consider “The War in Missouri: 1861-62” a must read. You don’t have to be from the Show-Me State to appreciate this addition to your personal library.

House addresses crime

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

The Special Session on violent crime has taken a major step forward with the Missouri House passing five bills to address the issue. The goal is to confront the notable uptick in violent crime, and make our state safer.

HB2 would allow certain witness statements to be admissible in court that would otherwise not be allowed. During the investigation of a crime, the police take statements from witnesses, but when the trial date comes some witnesses are afraid to testify out of fear for their safety. This bill would ensure witness statements to police would be admissible testimony in situations where the defendant has threat-

ened the witness. HB2 passed 133-11. The Emergency Clause passed 128-16.

HB66 creates the Pretrial Witness Protection Services Fund, which would pay for law enforcement to provide security for witnesses and their families.

If the governor signs HB66, the next step is for the legislature to put money in the fund, which could happen as soon as next month. HB66 passed 147-3, and the Emergency Clause passed 102-48.

HB46 would end the residency requirement that St. Louis police officers must live in the City of St. Louis instead of the area’s suburbs. This would make it easier for the St. Louis police force to

Keys to rural future

by Lu Nelsen, Policy Associate, Center for Rural Affairs

The wind energy industry remains one of the fastest growing in the U.S. It has not only increased capacity, but provided consumers and utilities with clean energy while creating additional economic benefits, such as tax revenue, career opportunities and direct payments to landowners who host turbines.

However, with that growth has come questions and concerns, leaving local officials trying to decide the best approach to regulating development.

The most common solution is zoning, in particular setbacks, which plays an important role in setting clear standards for developers and protecting the interests of local residents. But, standards should meet a county’s needs, rather than a one size fits all approach.

The Center for Rural Affairs recently reviewed setbacks in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota and found that while many counties employ some kind of standard, there was substantial

variance, with some employing a set or fixed distance from the turbine to variable distances based on the height of a turbine.

Importantly, this review showed that zoning itself did not seem to correlate with lack of development, as many counties that had zoning in place for wind energy also hosted a project.

This highlights the importance of tailoring standards to ensure they meet the goals of local officials and stakeholders, while also avoiding measures that are so restrictive that they will limit or stop potential development in a county.

Setting clear zoning that allows communities to capture the full benefits of wind energy development without burdening residents is key to bring clean energy and new economic opportunities to rural America.

Editor’s note: Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action-oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

recruit more officers. St. Louis would be allowed to re-impose the residency requirement in 2023. HB46 passed 117-35, and the Emergency Clause passed 113-38.

HB11 would expand the existing offense of “endangering the welfare of a child” to include a person who helps or causes a minor under 17 to engage in any weapons crime. HB16 would outlaw the lending or sale of a firearm to a person under 18 for the purpose of avoiding criminal arrest or investigation. Both of these bills address the situation where adult criminals recruit minors to do their dirty work for them. HB11 passed 117-33, and the Emergency Clause passed 111-39. HB16 passed 103-45, and the Emergency Clause was defeated 99-49 (109 Yes votes are required for an Emergency Clause).

These five bills now go to the Senate for their consideration.

If passed, they would all go into effect immediately upon the governor’s signature since they contained an Emergency Clause, except for HB16, which would go into effect in 90 days.

Reopen safely, responsibly

by Congressman Sam Graves

The numbers are in and Missouri added back more than 52,000 jobs last month. That might seem small, since we’re so used to talking about national jobs numbers, but in Missouri that’s huge news. It drove our unemployment rate down to 6.9%, one of the lowest rates in the country.

These aren’t “new” jobs though, by and large. These are folks getting back to work after being laid off early in the COVID-19 pandemic. When this first hit months ago, the idea was that these shutdowns and new guidance would help bend the curve and slow the rate of new infections long enough to buy our healthcare providers time to stock up and avoid overloading our hospitals. We did that, but in the process millions of Americans lost their jobs.

Parents struggled to provide for their families as the economy took a nosedive, going from the best we’ve seen in my lifetime, to the worst America has seen since the Great Depression.

Congress took quick action to help folks who lost their jobs, get critical resources to our healthcare professionals, and rapidly expand COVID-19 testing. These efforts were important, but only a temporary stopgap in a time of extreme crisis.

The reality is that these shutdowns, slowdowns, and new government mandates were never going to eradicate the COVID-19 virus. It just isn’t possible to defeat a virus with legislation and mandates. It takes science and medicine, cures, treatments, and vaccines to do that.

With that reality in mind, our goal in reopening our country should not be to stay closed until this virus goes away. That just isn’t practical or even possible.

Such a shutdown would destroy our economy, cost working families dearly, and ultimately lead to unfathomable pain, suffering, and even death as a result. We might never fully understand the toll such a drastic action would inflict upon our country.

What we can do is reopen safely and responsibly to make sure our healthcare system remains ready to fight this virus while getting millions of Americans back to work. Thanks to the incredible leadership of President Trump and Gov. Mike Parson, we’re doing just that.

MoDOT will halt temporary lanes closures throughout the state to accommodate an increase in traffic due to the Labor Day holiday. Most temporary lane closures will stop at noon on Friday, Sept. 4, and resume Tuesday morning, Sept. 8. Some long-term closures, ramp closures and head-to-head traffic may remain in place.

Scrub seal projects Contracted by the Missouri Department of Transportation to complete scrub seal projects on several routes across Northwest Missouri, Vance Brothers Inc. is ahead of schedule. Despite a delay due to the collapse of the Jamesport post office, crews were able to complete the seal on Route 190 between Route 6 and Route F on Aug. 26.

The majority of Route 190 between Route V in Daviess County and U.S. Route 65 in Livingston County was completed Aug. 28, but crews will not be able to do the last five miles on the eastern end due to an ongoing bridge project. That portion will be completed in the spring of 2021.

Following Route 190, crews will begin the scrub seal on Route 11 between U.S. Route 24 in Chariton County and U.S. Route 36 in Linn County.

Dogs overwhelm Panthers with six second-quarter TDs in opening victory, 58-0, at North Platte Gallatin and North Platte battled to a 0-0 draw in the first quarter of Friday night’s 2020 football opener, but that’s where the similarities ended.

Looking nothing like the team that struggled against Mid-Buchanan in its pre-season jamboree, Gallatin blasted North Platte for 44 second-quarter points on the way to a 58-0 win that featured big plays on both sides of the ball.

“We learned from the jamboree that we were not where we wanted to be for week one,” says Coach Patrick Treece. “I think the team understood this and I noticed a change in our effort and demeanor last week leading up to the North Platte game,” he added. “I believe the motivation from Friday’s performance comes from the will to be successful by this young group.”

The Bulldog defense provided the spark in the second period. Following a Brinley Vandiver TD pass to Kevin Weeks and Jagger Gray two-point conversion, linebacker Rodell Sperry recovered a fumbled snap on the Panther 26. Gray needed just one burst up the middle to score and he added another conversion to up Gallatin’s lead to 18-0.

Less than two minutes later, Gallatin’s defense came up big again when Gage Wright popped the ball loose from a Panther and Gabe Parker recovered in the end zone for the third Bulldog TD in three minutes. Wright added the two-point conversion.

The Bulldogs were far from being done piling up points on the scoreboard. Sperry scored on a 36-yard scamper. Gray recovered a fumble near mid-field and Vandiver connected with Meeks for a gain to the Panther one-yard line. Vandiver kept for the score to increase the gap to 38-0.

A Meeks punt return touchdown with just over a minute to play in the first half was denied due to a penalty but the Hamilton transfer student would find the end zone on a 49-yard run with one second left on the clock.

Getting the ball to open the second half, Vandiver and the Bulldogs came out chucking.

The 6’5” Bulldog quarterback hit Isaac Bird on the very first play for a 41-yard gain to the Panther 17. That would lead to a Vandiver to Bird scoring pass of three yards.

Gallatin’s defense continued to shine in the second half. The

ow of their goal post. Bird leaped high for a pass reception to the 43-yard line where the Bulldog jayvee took over.

Taking a page out of the varsity playbook, Boston Bell returned a fumble for a touchdown for the Bulldog jayvee eleven.

Reserve quarterback Peyton Baker carried for the two-point conversion for the final 58-0 score.

The reserve offense nearly cracked the goal line again in the closing moments. Logan Bottcher rattled off 19 yards to the Panther 16. Baker carried to the 8. Baker packed the ball again to the 2 but a penalty nixed another play thanks to the running clock.

The Bulldogs hope to keep their winning ways and make it two in a row against Hamilton this Friday. Higginsville downed Hamilton, 51-14, last week in the first of four straight road games for the Hornets. The Bulldogs last season snapped a losing streak to the Hornets dating back to 2008 with a 20-14 victory at Hamilton.

“We understand that Hamilton is a different caliber of opponent and they will be tough, as always,” Coach Treece advised.

“I anticipate a lot of guys rising to the occasion this week and coming into their own as football players and leaders.”

RECORD

CARES applications reviewed, approved; county abides by treasury guidelines COUNTY

The commission reviewed several COMMISSION CARES Act Funding applications. A few are still waiting on missing documents. One application was returned due to duplications in invoices.

Several applications will need updated minutes to reflect permission by the governing boards to enter into an agreement with Daviess County and for authorization of the signing party to sign for the board.

Ronetta Burton will send out notices to those entities.

Wayne Uthe made a motion to approve the application for Winston R-VI School; David Cox seconded, and the motion passed, 3-0.

Jim Ruse attended a conference call at 11 a.m. with Green Hills Regional Planning Commission and several area commissioners regarding the ongoing disbursement of the CARES Act Funding.

Several counties are using very different approaches to the disbursement; however, Daviess County is staying strictly within the U.S. Treasury guidelines: 1) Reimbursement for expenses that were incurred between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2020, with a receipt; 2) Expense

must have been incurred directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) Expense was not allocated for in the most recent budget.

James Lewis, bridge supervisor, updated the commission on ongoing work. James advised that they are finishing up replacing a large tube in Sheridan Township. Next week they will be replacing another large tube in Lincoln Township. The brush mower is continuing to mow in Salem Township.

Discussion was held regarding several other locations around the county and the timeline to get caught up.

Discussion was held regarding a pest problem at the newspaper building. The issue was continued.

Brian Copple, Gallatin Superintendent, met with the commission to present his application for CARES Act funding for the school.

Pam McNeel, collector/treasurer, met with the commission to advise them she sold 22 parcels at the tax sale on Aug. 24. Pam reported there was a larger than normal turnout and she was very pleased to get 22 parcels back on the tax rolls.

After months of searching, we purchased a new home. Among the things we liked about the home was a brightly painted deck on the back (east) side of the house. In the evenings, the house shades the deck from the hot sun, and we can comfortably sit out there drinking tea or coffee.

Sometimes, we eat on the deck.

Recently we had the family over for a birthday celebration; and one of our grandchildren, a tall healthy lad, stepped through the deck floor. Upon further inspection, we learned this brightly painted deck was rotten all over. Previous owners had painted over the rotten wood. Consequently, I have spent the better part of a month and considerable money repairing the structure.

Multiple times as I worked, the scripture from Ezekiel 18:2 came to mind. “The parents eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.”

Someone before me did a bad job; but I must pay the Bro. Wade Paris price of correction. I am not citing this experience to complain. I have enjoyed the work but not the expense. I am telling this story to illustrate a truth -- often our sins cause others pain.

More than 250 years ago, pilgrims arrived in this land of milk and honey -- America. We have lived in it with little thought of the following generations. We have devastated the forests, we have poisoned the seas, we are destroying the atmosphere; and God alone knows what else we will do that someone else will need to undo.

A common phrase of the day goes like this, “It's my life. I'm not going to let someone else tell me how to live it.” That sounds reasonable; but it misses an important truth. We do not live in a bubble. During one of our discussions, a teenage child said to me, “It's my life; so what if it hurts me?” The problem is, “It hurts me when you hurt,” I answered.

The cry today is, “I'm not going to let anyone make me wear a mask!” Tell that to the family whose parents died of Covid-19.

This is not a new problem. It is an ancient one. A part of our Godlikeness is our freedom to choose, even to choose wrongly. Somehow, we seem to believe that gives us license. Yes, we are free to choose wrongly; but remember, it will cost you and maybe someone you love.
