MDC hosts 33rd Annual Poosey Conservation Area fall tour Oct. 20 A winding road uphill and down through autumn foliage and a chance to hobnob with Smokey Bear awaits those who visit the 33rd annual fall driving tour at the Poosey Conservation Area.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host the tour from noon until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the area northwest of Chillicothe in Livingston County.

Smokey Bear is celebrating his 75th birthday and the firewise sage will be present for photos with his fans. MDC will also feature presentations on the role of fire in forest, woodland, and grassland ecology. Fire helped shape Missouri’s original natural ecosystems. Today, fire used with planning and care in a prescribed burn can benefit wildlife habitat and forage management in pastures. Wildfire, though, remains a danger to people and wildlife. Experts will be present to talk with visitors about prescribed burns and how to prevent wildfires.

The annual Poosey driving tour allows visitors to drive on roads not normally open to the public for vehicle traffic. Vehicles with high clearance are recommended. The route’s gravel roads wind through steep hills and deep valleys with a few shallow stream crossings. MDC’s Poosey area also has trails, lakes, and ponds for visitors to enjoy. At one stop along the tour route, hikers can follow a short trail to the limestone overhang known as the Panther’s Den. Anglers can try their luck at Pike’s Lake or Indian Creek Community Lake or one of the area’s ponds.

The tour begins at Pike’s Lake. An entrance to the lake is reached off Route W and County Road 502. Gates open at noon and the last vehicle will be allowed to begin at 4 p.m.

For tour information, contact MDC Resource Forester Samantha Anderson, 660-646-6122. Maps and information about Poosey Conservation Area are at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZSS. To learn more about conservation in Missouri, visit http:// www.mdc.mo.gov.

knowledge portion of the class.

This can be done through an interactive online class or through self-study at home using the Hunter Education Student Manual. Proof of completion of the knowledge portion must be presented at the skills session. For those ages 16 and up, the Hunter Education certification can also be completed entirely online.

Missouri’s hunter education program increases safety and skills afield. The instruction will teach how firearms work and firearms safety, wildlife identification and processing game harvested for cooking, wildlife conservation and management, and regulations and information unique to Missouri. The certificate is required for hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1967.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) encourage deer hunters around the state to share their harvests through the state’s Share the Harvest program.

Deer season in Missouri started Sept. 15 and runs through Jan. 15, 2020. CFM is also holding a photo contest for those who share their harvests.

Administered by MDC and CFM, Share the Harvest coordinates the efforts of thousands of deer hunters, numerous participating meat processors, many local supporting organizations, and statewide sponsors to help feed hungry Missourians.

The program works by deer hunters donating their extra venison — from several pounds to whole deer — to participating meat processors throughout the state who grind and package the deer meat. The packaged venison is then given to local food

banks and food pantries for distribution to Missourians in need of food assistance.

The National Institutes of Health states that children need protein in their diets for proper growth and development, and adults need it to maintain good health. Yet many Missourians can’t afford or don’t have access to good sources of protein.

Through Share the Harvest, Missouri hunters can help provide those in need with high-quality protein in the form of naturally lean, locally harvested deer meat.

Thousands of Missouri deer hunters donated more than 259,400 pounds of venison to the state’s Share the Harvest program last deer season, including 4,855 whole deer. Since the program began in 1992, Share the Harvest has provided more than 4 million pounds of lean, healthy venison to help feed hungry Missourians.

Processing fees are covered

entirely or in part by numerous local sponsors, along with statewide sponsors that include: MDC, Shelter Insurance, Bass Pro Shops, Missouri Chapter Safari Club International, Missouri Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation, Midway USA Inc., Missouri Food Banks Association and United Bowhunters of Missouri.

Hunters should contact individual processors to determine what funds are available. The cost of processing is the hunter’s responsibility when funds to help cover the full cost of processing are not available.

Participating harvest processors in Daviess County are Brown Custom Meats, 13227 Drake Ave., Pattonsburg, 660663-5010; and Stoney Ridge Custom Processing, 25504 St. Hwy 190, Jamesport, 660-684-6850.

Find other participating Share the Harvest processors online at mdc.mo.gov/share. (continued on page 3)

MDC offers hunter education classes, skill session slated for Gallatin Oct. 24 The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) offers several options for hunters to obtain the hunter education certification required for firearms hunting.

Several hunter education skills sessions will be offered this fall in northwest Missouri, including one from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Dockery Park Building, Gallatin.

Hunter Education manuals may be picked up at Pierce Gun Works in Gallatin. Please bring proof of age and proof of completion of a knowledge portion on the evening of the course. The class will be taught by Daviess County MDC Agent Alan Bradford.

These four-hour sessions, open to ages 11 and up, will teach firearms safety, hunting ethics, and basic hunting skills. Then participants will present skills knowledge to the instructor and take a 35-question exam to complete certification.

To attend a skills session, participants must first complete the

OPINION

Oct. 9, 2019

Trump’s troubled waters The Trump Administration has done some good things. Perhaps the most positive impact from Donald Trump appears in the Supreme Court. That may be his highwater mark. But to secure this change we’ve been forced to accept this man’s flawed character.

Some argue that personal character in a leader makes no matter. I disagree. Storm clouds perpetually threaten as Trump’s incessant “tweets” rain down to flood us, the deluge causing enough debris to wash away many of the bridges we need for our society to operate properly. Consider just these few notes jotted down from headlines past which contrast what Trump says and what he does: ●●He says “America First,” then threatens to cut off highway funds and disaster aid to states and territories controlled by political opponents (where’s the infrastructure plan he promised?) ●●He says Hunter Biden’s seat on the board of a Ukrainian company is outrageous, but enables his own daughter and son-in-law to influence foreign and domestic policies while making a fortune from their business interests (Trump Tower in Moscow anyone?) ●●He says “America First” then defies Congressional power of the purse by raiding the Pentagon budget to finance pet projects Off the Editor’s Spike... ●● He approves and reimburses secret payments despite campaign law (what was that porn star’s name again?) ●● He releases highly classified intelligence, some to a foreign enemy and some only to his political supporters

by Darryl Wilkinson ●● He disregards subpoenas and refused to furnish documents, then doubles down after an independent prosecutor, appointed by her own administration, points out 10 possible instances of obstruction of justice, yet is not charged because regulations prohibit such a move against a sitting president (where in the world did this rule, putting any man above the law, come from?) ●●He persuades a foreign leader not to admit an elected American official (Trump’s political opponent) into the leader’s country ●●He fires an FBI director who refuses to call off a probe of one of his close associates ●●He offers to pardon those who commit crimes enforcing his policies, questioning the authority of certain judges because they were appointed by his political opponents, and pardons a political ally who ignored court orders ●●He asks and coerces foreign governments to sabotage his political opponents’ campaigns Some of this may not be criminal. But certainly all of it mocks what our country stands for in very serious ways. Impeachment?

That inquiry is about to unfold. But, regardless of the outcome, do you really want Trump for four more years?

I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but I parted ways with Mr. Trump in July 2018. That was when American President Trump stood beside Russian President Vladimir Putin and supported the Russian over our own intelligence community during a joint press conference at Helsinki, Finland. Is that America first?

Should we be surprised when Trump is accused of extortion, taking our tax money to bribe a Ukrainian official to impact the 2020 presidential election in his favor? What’s next? (This week it’s pulling America troops away from the Syrian border, strengthening ISIS, without consulting U.S. military advisors and allies.)

Despite all this, impeachment proceedings may do more harm than good. This conclusion damns the (impotent) Democrats as much as Trump’s (blind) Republican supporters. If Trump prevails, we should only expect him to double down and continue his ways.

Do we really want to just shrug and say, “Trump happens”?

Perhaps we’re too used to having others do our thinking for us.

Our Congressman, Sam Graves, opposes impeachment proceedings. Many Republicans seem to be in lockstep with the President.

Maybe that’s understandable. Even those repulsed by this president appear impotent, afraid that any criticism of Trump will end their career. So, let’s reconsider another voice.

Tom Coleman, a Republican and former representative from our 6th District (1976-1993), called for impeachment after the Mueller report indicated Trump committed multiple impeachable offenses including abuse of power and lying to the American public. You may recall that these were part of the articles of impeachment brought against President Richard Nixon.

You may deflect all this by saying times have changed. But I fear they have not. The 2016 presidential ballot forced us to choose between two terribly flawed candidates. Trump happened. It’s three years later and thus far it appears to be more of the same: Congress fractured with distrust and voters paralyzed with disgust. You may defend Trump if you want but I cannot.

Are we doomed to be marooned in such troubled waters?

Maybe we sit watching the news like the frog sitting in a pot of water. We sit in tepid waters of apathy and self-centered interests without realizing how slowly and steadily things are coming to a boil. As long as the stock market holds, as long as the unemployment numbers remain low, as long as the government checks flow, as long as we accept whatever Trump declares and his rants about fake news, we really can believe everything is “perfect” like he says while, like the frog, being cooked to death.

Nobody I know looks forward to another presidential campaign season. But, in my view, an election is preferable over impeachment — when I will vote for somebody else, preferably another Republican or perhaps a Democrat or anybody, who will do the job better.

Welcome news for farmers

By Congressman Sam Graves

You may have missed it amidst all the impeachment hoopla, but President Trump secured another trade victory last week.

In a big win for farmers, the United States reached a trade deal with Japan, our third largest agricultural export market.

As a result, Japan will reduce tariffs on both fresh and frozen beef and pork.

Tariffs will be eliminated or phased out on a multitude of U.S. farm products including several produced in Missouri such as sweet corn, sorghum, ethanol, frozen poultry, processed pork, egg products and wine.

The United States, on the other hand, will eliminate or reduce tariffs on several products produced in Japan including green tea, chewing gum, and certain

brainer and there’s no doubt it will happen if it gets to the House floor.

The administration secured a good, free, and fair trade deal and it’s ready to pass. As we all know though, this isn’t about getting a good deal; it’s about denying the President a win.

In spite of the clear benefits, I’m willing to bet that if the USJapan Trade Agreement had been required to come to the House floor, it would still be languishing there as well. Thankfully, Nancy Pelosi didn’t get a say on the Japan deal.

It’s been a tough year for farmers. The US-Japan Trade Agreement is certainly welcome news.

Now it’s time to bring USMCA to a vote and get it done. North Missouri is counting on it.

This is a big deal for America.

Our farmers will greatly benefit from the US-Japan Trade Agreement, with almost unfettered access to the 127 million consumers in Japan. The more markets available, the better it is for rural Missouri, with increased job growth and the potential for rising farm income.

Taking the time for one more question

Pres. Donald Trump’s recent news conference pronouncements involving allegations by federal-government whistle blower reminded me of my growing experience in Missouri’s statehouse by public officials seeking to avoid awkward questions from reporters.

Trump’s Sept. 25 news conference came immediately after the White House released a transcript of a phone conversation with the Ukrainian president in which Trump sought a Ukrainian investigation into a potential Democratic candidate for president. The news conference began with lengthy and rambling statements that covered the economy and foreignpolicy issues as well as Ukraine.

I’ve experienced some Missouri governors starting a news conference with long statements on issues of little or no news significance. It’s caused me to wonder if there’s a hope it will distract us from asking the most important questions or lead to less before the news conference is terminated.

When Trump eventually took questions, only three were about the president’s discussion with the Ukraine President. Eight were on completely different subjects. It struck me that Trump was able to divert questioning away from the explosive issue by picking reporters which obvious inter-

est in different issues.

Then, the news conference abruptly ended as reporters seeking recognition for other questions were ignored. I sympathized with those reporters seeking more probing questions.

Increasingly in Missouri’s statehouse we have encountered governors and other state leaders holding what I’ve come to term “media by Phill moments.”

Brooks Trump actually has been polite in shutting off further questioning by saying to reporters “thank you.” In Missouri, recent governors and a few other high officials have shut off questioning with a public information officer stepping in to loudly proclaim “time for one more question.”

That, of course, just incites us to immediately attempt further questions after the “one more question” pronouncement. It worked, briefly. But now, the subject of the news conference just turns around and walks away. That approach is so different from years ago when governors allowed news conferences to continue until almost every reporter’s question was answered.

I confess, many days a governor took questions for so long that I would hope our

colleagues would shut up. Yet, even after lengthy news conferences, governors of the past sometimes would stick around for individual interviews on local topics or less formal conversations with us.

It reflected what I sensed was a passionate drive by governors of the past to do all they could to help reporters fully understand an issue and the administration’s vision. But now there are so many alternatives for communicating with the public without troublesome questions from reporters that I fear we’re viewed by some we cover as the enemy to be manipulated and cut short.

While the public loses from that restricted access, so do the public officials we cover.

Many times when I’ve questioned a public official outside of a controlled setting, that public official learned something from my questions like a potential avenue of criticism or a new wrinkle to an issue.

And, sometimes, aggressive questioning helped the public official better formulate a defense or become more comfortable not hiding behind communications staff.

When I started covering Missouri’s

statehouse, I quickly discovered that my aggressive interviewing style for which I gained a reputation actually helped develop sources of long-term value. While some were upset by my adversarial interviewing style, my most important and candid sources of lasting value appreciated that approach.

I think they realized they were benefiting from blunt questions in both learning about potential adversaries and their arguments. And sometimes, I’d raised aspects about an issue they had not considered.

I confess, I knew some of those sources were taking advantage of me in gaining information. It’s a reflection of incestuous relationships that reporters can develop with our closest sources. But, the public benefited not just in the stories that I produced and from the much deeper understanding I gained from those sources about how government and politics really work.

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

Man arrested after fatality accident A Trenton man who was involved in a fatality accident in June has turned himself in on two felony charges.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, Russell Louderback, 62, turned himself in to the sheriff’s office on a class E felony of second degree involuntary manslaughter and a class D felony of possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana/synthetic cannabinoid.

Louderback is accused of causing the death of Jamesport resident Eric Virtue by driving a vehicle that crossed the center line and struck a vehicle driven

by Virtue. The accident occurred west of Trenton on the morning of June 13.

In addition, Louderback is accused of possessing hydrocodone and methadone, both controlled substances. Louderback’s bond was initially set at $25,000 cash only, however he was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 8.

Don’t smear deer Colonel Eric T. Olson, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, reminds drivers that deer are more active and create hazards for Missouri motorists this time of year.

Drivers are reminded that an attempt to avoid striking a deer could result in a more serious crash involving oncoming traffic.

Try to remain calm. Panicking and overreacting usually lead to more serious traffic crashes.

As soon as you see a deer, the best course of action is to reduce your speed. Other drivers may be doing the same, so be sure to pay attention to traffic patterns.

Last year, drivers in Missouri experienced 4,090 traffic crashes where deer-vehicle strikes occurred. One deer strike occurred every 2.1 hours in the state. In these crashes, there were six fatalities and 415 people were injured.

The majority of deer strike crashes occur in October and November.

Slaughter-Williams wedding announced Cali Slaughter, daughter of Kim and Tim Slaughter, and Derek Williams, son of Matt and Cherrie Williams, will be married on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the McNeely residence in Jameson.

The groom’s attendants are J.D. Ramey, Darin Williams, Justin Flint and Alex Foster.

Others in the wedding party are Logan Eivins, Brayden Woody and Wes Morgan.

A reception and rehearsal dinner will be held at Northwest Missouri State Fairgrounds.

The honeymoon destination is Glacier Mountain Park, Montana.

The couple will reside in Bethany. Cali is a physical therapy assistant at Cameron Hospital.

Derek is an auto body technician at Pettijohn Auto Center.

Mild winter weather start, won’t last A milder-than-normal weather pattern will kick off the season in December across the northern and central Plains states.

But it won’t last for long.

Arctic air is expected to surge into the region at points during the season, although it’s too soon to tell exactly where the coldest conditions will take hold.

AccuWeather Expert LongRange Forecaster Paul Pastelok

predicts near- to below-normal snowfall across the northern plains, with near- to above-normal totals in the central plains.

Farther east, in the upper Midwest and Great Lakes, cold air will encourage a number of lake-effect snow events.

Residents will want to stock up on shovels, as an above-normal season for snowfall is in the offing.

Saving tree seeds this fall, a few pointers and precautions

By Tim Baker, MU Regional Horticulturist

In my last column, I gave a few starting hints if you decide you want to save seeds from trees this fall. This week, I have a few more pointers and one precaution.

If you are storing the seeds indoors, you should make sure the seeds do not dry out. During the period of refrigeration, Tim Baker moisture can be maintained by placing some peat moss inside the jar or bag.

The moss should be moist, but not overly wet. Check periodically to insure that the moisture level maintains a proper balance.

The best temperature is around

36 degrees. Slightly higher temperatures may be acceptable, but a longer time period will be needed to satisfy dormancy requirements.

When you plant the seed, it is best to plant directly where you want the plant to grow, thus avoiding transplanting. However, some people may prefer to start the plants in a nursery setting, where you may be able to give the plants a better start.

An example would be the case where the soil at the final plant location might not be the best.

Generally, seeds do not have to be planted deeply. A good rule is to plant the seed about twice as deep as the seed’s largest dimension. If planting in the fall, a cover of mulch to protect the seeds from winter extremes is helpful. Also, you may want to protect the seed from foraging wildlife by placing a wire mesh or basket over the seed.

Some seeds have specific needs. Acorns are an example.

To avoid weevil damage, soak the acorns in water at 120 degrees for 30 minutes, to kill any weevils that may be inside. But be careful, since higher temperatures or longer times may kill the acorn as well. Other seeds may need to

Nearly $1,000 in prizes awaits the winning entries of the 2019 Missouri Day Festival Parade scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 19. The Spirit of Missouri Days is the grand prize claiming a $200 prize with the runner-up earning a $100 prize.

Candy will not be allowed to be thrown walkers may pass out candy or other small prizes.

have their seed coat broken, so it pays to find out any specific requirements for the seed you want to plant.

One final caution: if you are saving seed from a particular variety of tree or shrub, you will probably be disappointed because the offspring plant may not resemble the parent plant.

This is due to the nature of genetics and the formation of the seed embryo after the flower is pollinated.

This is particularly true of fruit trees. If you have a ‘Golden Delicious’ apple tree and want another one, the only way to insure this is through vegetative propagation, i.e., grafting. Trees grown from seeds in this case won’t be true to type.

Water going off Daviess County Public Water Supply District #2 will have an interruption of service starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, until possibly into Thursday, Oct. 10.

A closed session was held to discuss personnel during the Sept. 16 meeting of the Pattonsburg Board of Aldermen.

The board arrived at the decision to make a change in work schedule times to try and improve work performance for Liam Mooney, maintenance laborer. Mooney can work 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with a one-hour lunch break non-paid. He must clock in and out with a time clock.

Mowing and weed-eating had to be caught up and done by Oct. 4 so it would look nice for the car show or further action would be taken on his employment status.

The Hach Service Agreement was tabled until the October meeting. Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance Plan (CMOM) and Ordinance

amendment will be presented at the October meeting.

A letter was sent to Edna Johnson stating that the city would give her 30 more days on the dumpster and then it would be removed.

The next meeting is on Oct. 14.

Those in attendance were Mayor Edmon Howard; board members: Lonnie Luke, Kelly Hughes, Dustin Sperry, Sandra Woodring; employees: Water Superintendent Adam Albert and City Clerk Karen Shepherd.

South Harrison wins muddy battle for GRC top spot A frustrating night for Gallatin’s Bulldogs ended with South Harrison running out the clock to preserve a 22-14 victory in Bethany. The two elite GRC teams (along with 4-0 Princeton) traded scores in the first quarter. South Harrison quarterback Austin Lasher ripped off a 45-yard scoring run on third and long but the conversion attempt failed.

Gallatin answered with under 3 minutes to play in the period when Brinley Vandiver rolled out on fourth and goal and hit JJ Waters, who out-leaped man coverage for the ball and stretched into the end zone for the score. Tristen Gibson kicked the extra point to give Gallatin a 7-6 lead.

A first down completion to Ross Critten on a scoop pass reception, long run by Aidan Adkison and completion to Waters to the 9 yard line set up the scoring play.

South Harrison’s running game continued to pay dividends when Andrew Sweat raced down the sideline before being tackled just outside the end zone. Gradyn Linthacum took scoring honors to put his team ahead, 14-7, following teammate Collin Haffey’s conversion run.

Scoring went back and forth ... that is until South Harrison’s good fortune right before the end of the first half. A Gallatin drive stalled out on South Harrison’s 32. Tristen Gibson’s punt penned the home Bulldogs inside their five yard line.

With 1:01 on the clock, quarterback Austin Lasher ripped off a 68 run to Gallatin’s 17 yard line, but his team would face fourth and goal with 11.9 seconds left.

Lasher rolled right toward the Gallatin sideline with Gallatin defenders in pursuit. Lasher found a receiver in the back corner who stepped out of the back corner of the end zone and back in to make the grab. The touchdown was allowed to stand and Gallatin trailed by a two-score margin for the first time this season.

Gallatin would chalk up the only score of the second half.

Vandiver converted a third and long with a pass to Waters, who ran after the catch to South Harrison’s 29. Adkison took a counter handoff to the 11. Haden Bradford moved the ball to the 7 with a carry. Adkison took the handoff again and ran left, successfully reaching the pylon with a pair of defenders in tow.

Gibson’s extra point kick closed the gap to 22-14.

Gallatin appeared poised toward a chance to tie the game early in the fourth quarter when Ross Critten ran a reverse from mid-field to South Harrison’s 13, but a subsequent fourth down pass sailed over his head in the end zone.

The visiting Bulldogs got one more shot at a possible tie when they took over on South Harrison’s 42 after a defender pulled down Critten with a horse collar tackle on the punt return. Three incomplete passes brought on fourth and 10 for Gallatin.

Vandiver rolled out to his right and slipped on the muddy turf as South Harrison defenders closed in.

South Harrison was able to run out the clock and claim its share of the GRC lead along with Princeton.

Gallatin’s schedule doesn’t get easier this week when defending conference champion Milan comes in at 2-2 in the league and 3-3 overall.

JJ Waters was able to hold on to a Brinley Vandiver pass during Gallatin’s first scoring drive. [Staff photo/DC]

Schools take active shooter required course

Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards is pictured in the melee at the Gallatin High School Active Shooter Awareness event held recently. Chief Richards says he taught the refresher course to several area schools including Jameson, Pattonsburg and Grundy R-5. It is a required class for schools. The course started about five years ago. The basics stay the same each year, but the program is changed to include the most recent issues. Chief Richards said the chance of something like that happening in a small rural school is small, but so are the chances of a tornado or a fire; still the schools train for those in order to be reactive if something does happen.

Climate change. That's all we hear about these days. Like everyone else, I have my own observations about our changing climate: OBSERVATION #1 -- The climate of planet Earth has been changing ever since Day One. For countless ages, the earth underwent a warming stage.

Then, in the next span of years the earth experienced a cooling trend. During this time, the upper half of all North America was under several a thick glacier -- this included most of Missouri. Now, we're in another warming stage. Evidently, this is how God designed His world: day gives way to night; spring gives way to summer; summer leads us into fall and winter. We have times when we get too much rain and times when we don't have enough. Our climate is always in flux, and it has nothing to do with us.

OBSERVATION #2 -- Will human pollution affect the climate? If so, very little. This world belongs to God. And when God designed this world, He made it extremely adaptable. The All-Knowing God knew that mankind would probably be tempted to sin -- and in the process would corrupt His creation and pollute His world. So, He made the universe adaptable to all forms of pollution. Pollution has been going on long before there were factories or cars. Earthquakes and volcanoes were releasing toxic gases even at the time of Pre-historic Man. They were sending more toxic fumes into the atmosphere in one month than our modern USA releases in one year. How adaptable is our atmosphere? All the toxic pollution we release goes up into the higher layers of the atmosphere and is either absorbed or is converted into a non-toxic material. We do need to limit the pollution in our air -- for health reasons -- not because it will have much affect on the climate.

OBSERVATIION #3 -- “Because of air pollution, we are in the beginning of a mass extinction…” Translation: “If we don't curb pollution, the world will end!” So said 16-year-old Greta Thunberg as she stood before the United Nations.

Not so, kiddo! This is God's world. He gave this earth its beginning, and He alone will, in His own good time, bring this world to its ending. There is nothing at all that we human beings can do to alter that fact. We didn't bring this world into being and we will not bring about the ending of this world. People of all ages have, for thousands of years, been predicting the “end of the world.” They have all been wrong.

OBSERVATION # 4 -- The climate was changing centuries before we were born, and will continue to change -- in spite of what we do or do not do. The world will not end no matter what we do or do not do. If we were wise, we would adjust our lives to fit the climate instead of trying in vain to adjust the climate to suit our whims.

If you believe in God, you have nothing to worry about. If you do not believe in God, you have everything to worry about.

Jamesport hears visitor complaints; employees get raises

Memory Keeper at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab on Oct. 2.

Library never slows down, activities include memory makers, storytime Daviess County Library staff spent Monday in a staff meeting learning all sorts of tricks of the trade in addition to standard library procedures, all to enhance the patrons’ library experience.

It’s no surprise that libraries around the world are shifting focus to include not only books and resources, but to fulfill a community need for social programs and a safe, comfortable space for young and old alike to spend cold winter days as well as sultry Indian summers.

Activities at our library from now to the end of 2019 include the monthly programs: 1st Tuesdays, 1:30 p.m. — Alz Not Forgotten Memory Makers at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab; 1st Fridays, 10 a.m. —Storytime at the Castle (main library); 2nd Wednesdays, 1 p.m. — Alzheimer’s Association’s Remote Learning Series; 3rd Fridays, 10 a.m. — Music Storytime with Mariah and 1 p.m. — Adult Computer Seminar; and 4th Thursdays, 5:55 p.m. — FamilySearch Genealogy.

Semi-weekly events, beginning this Saturday at 10 a.m., include Quilting with Pat; and Pop-Up Libraries on a rotating schedule visiting Pattonsburg, Winston, Jameson, and Coffey.

Weekly programs rolled out a movie and book club for children aged upper-elementary through middle-school on Wednesdays.

Happy Hump Day Wednesdays meets at 3:30 p.m. in the Jan and Curly Johnson Conference Room. Children may attend without an accompanying adult.

Aside from ongoing activities, you will see a library presence at Scare on the Square and Christmas Around the Square, as well as a sponsored food drive “Food4-Fines” throughout the month of November where patrons may present canned food for the Daviess County Food Pantry or pet food for Green Hills Animal Shelter in Trenton in exchange for reduced overdue fines (1 can = $1).

Finally, to close out the year, all overdue fines will be forgiven for any patron visiting the library during the 12 Days of Christmas.

The goal is to have all library resources returned and back on the shelf without the hindrance of fines.

The Daviess County Library provides, on equal terms, free service to all individuals living, paying taxes or attending school in Daviess County. It accepts as its basic objectives the provision and servicing of selected books and other materials which aid the individual in the pursuit of education, information, or research, and in the creative use of leisure time. Our motto is: EPIC:

Encourage reading – Provide resources – Inspire learning – Connect people … and we won’t slow down until we get there!

Visitors were given an opportunity to address the Jamesport City Council at their meeting held Sept. 9. The mayor allowed three minutes for each visitor to speak.

Patricia Crook advised the council that the skirting had been installed on her trailer that had been in violation. She also addressed the council about a nuisance dog that belonged to her neighbors. She has made attempts to discuss the problem with the dog owner but the animal is still running at large and threatening park renters.

The mayor advised Ms. Crook to contact the city hall and they will take the steps necessary to help control the problem.

Visitor Bill Coy complained about other properties in town with abandoned vehicles. He then complained about the way Richard Dustman parked his trucks on his own property. He informed the group that he would shoot down the next drone that flew near his home. When the mayor informed him his three minutes were up, Mr. Coy became agitated and aggressive and he was asked to leave. The

mayor and council decided to contact the sheriff’s department in an attempt to calm the situation. Daviess County Deputy Kyle Cornett arrived at city hall later to address the situation.

City employee Trent Brewer was approved as supervisor/ superintendent of water/sewer/ maintenance. Ray Bontrager and Trent Brewer were given a $1 an hour raise for their sewer/ water licensing. Brewer received an additional 50 cents an hour as supervisor.

The next meeting was tentatively set for Oct. 9.

The above are the unapproved minutes from the Jamesport City Council meeting held Sept. 9 at the Jamesport City Hall. Mem-

VFW meeting change VFW District One meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 12, beginning at 11 a.m. at the General John J. Pershing Museum, 900 Ausmus, Laclede. The joint meeting will start at 11 a.m. The regular district meeting will follow the joint meeting and lunch.

Governor Parson awards 18 first responder public safety medals, Trooper Neely among 4 receiving Medal of Valor On Oct. 7, Governor Mike Parson presented 18 first responders with Missouri Public Safety Medals for heroic, life-saving, or extraordinary acts beyond the call of duty to protect the public during 2018.

Trooper Matthew W. Neely, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Troop H, was one of four recipients of the Medal of Valor. He received the valor award for the capture of a gunman in Daviess County.

Trooper Neely of Cameron was a member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s 102nd Recruit Class and began his duties with Zone 10, which serves the citizens of DeKalb and Daviess counties, in July 2016.

On March 19, 2018, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department advised Troop H Headquarters of a theft in progress at a residence in Ridgeway. Trooper Neely observed a vehicle matching the suspect’s vehicle description traveling southbound on Interstate 35 and attempted to overtake it. The vehicle exited Interstate 35 and traveled westbound on Missouri Route N in Daviess County, then slid through the intersection of Route N and U.S. Highway 69 and crashed into a utility pole.

As Trooper Neely arrived, the male driver and female passenger exited the vehicle. The male driver fled on foot. Trooper Neely advised the passenger she was under arrest and to stay with the vehicle before beginning a foot pursuit after the driver.

As Trooper Neely chased the driver across an open field, the subject turned, raised a Glock handgun, and fired multiple shots at the trooper. Trooper Neely obtained cover behind a field terrace.

When the shooting stopped, he notified Troop H of shots fired and advanced on the subject while issuing commands that he drop his weapon. The suspect failed to comply and attempted to re-engage Trooper Neely.

Trooper Neely Trooper Neely then fired his Patrol issued weapon striking the suspect twice and stopping the threat.

He and other officers on scene then provided first aid to the suspect until medical personnel arrived and transported the suspect to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.

A jury trial for Elmer Martin Sorrell of High Ridge is scheduled April 22-24, 2020, in Daviess County Circuit Court on charges of assault first degree, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of firearm, stealing firearm, stealing and resisting arrest.

Additional Medals of Valor Medals of Valor were also awarded to Sergeant Shawn D. Fields, Stone County Sheriff’s Office, for heroic, life-saving rescue efforts during the Table Rock Lake duck boat sinking, which claimed the lives of 17 people; and to Officers Jeremy E. Bratton and Kyle B. Schmidt, St. Charles Police Department, for confronting and wounding a violent murder suspect in a gun battle that led to his capture.

Governor’s Medals Governor’s Medal were awareded to: Captain Cody B. Ross (Retired), Lt. Jason M. Huff, Major Cade A. Thompson, Capt. Andrew W. Fritzinger, Missouri Department of Correc-

tions; Chief Richard W. Bashor, Cameron Police Department; and Trooper Bradley R. Muck, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Troop H, for daring, decisive, and successful efforts to end a volatile standoff with more than 200 offenders at the Crossroads Corrections Center in Cameron; Lt. Daniel B. Tscherny, Capt. Jason G. Bogema (Retired), Rescue Specialist Tony C. Fields, Firefighter Joshua W. Bravestone, Firefighter Zachary L. Keller, Firefighter Garett L. Olson, Firefighter Tyler R. Nevins, and Firefighter Dustin C. Matney, Springfield Fire Department, for courageous and persistent efforts beyond the call of duty in an attempt to rescue Greene County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Paul Roberts, who was killed when his vehicle was swept away in flash flooding.

Public Safety Civilian Partnership Award The Governor also presented six civilians with awards for exceptional acts to assist first responders and the public during 2018: Wesley D. Hilton, nominated by the Clinton Police Department, for courageous, life-sustaining support for a police officer wounded in an ongoing gun battle in which another Clinton Police officer, Christopher Ryan Morton, was killed.

Catherine Stepps, nominated by the St. Louis Fire Department, for the heroic rescue of a neighbor from his burning house.

Tyler Preston, Gabriel Gowen, and Jordan Lambay, nominated by the Kirksville Police Department, for their heroic intervention that ended the attack of an axe-wielding man upon a woman who had sustained lifethreatening injuries.

Marlin Matchett, nominated by the Taney County Ambulance District, for heroic, life-saving rescue efforts during the Table Rock Lake duck boat sinking, which claimed the lives of 17 people.

Missouri dealing with injuries as Homecoming arrives

By Benjamin Herrold

Missouri rolled to another dominating win on Saturday, 42-10 over Troy at Faurot Field.

But it came at cost, as star linebacker Cale Garrett was lost for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Also, quarterback Kelly Bryant had an injury scare, but he sounds like he’ll be able to play next week, although it’s possible he’ll miss a week or two.

In the game, the Trojans did take an early 7-0 lead, but then Missouri (4-1, 1-0 in SEC) scored six unanswered touchdowns to take a commanding 42-7 lead into halftime.

It was another great performance from the Tiger defense, which held Troy (2-3) to just 211 yards and forced three turnovers. Over the last four games, Missouri’s defense has outscored opponents 35-31, which is hard to fathom.

But losing their leader Garrett is a big blow. He had been playing at an All-American level, and he was the leader of the defense. He’d also scored three touchdowns over the last three games.

On Saturday, Garrett ran one interception back to the one-yard line and ran another pick back for a touchdown.

Bryant was injured on a touchdown pass when a Troy de-

fender hit him low and late, hurting Bryant’s knee. The hit drew a penalty, but Bryant had to have the trainers come out on the field to check on him. He did walk off the field, but he didn’t return to the game, which was already in hand at the time.

These injuries are ominous, just as Missouri is starting to look like it could have a special season. The recent trend for the Tigers had been only good news.

Overall, Missouri has outscored opponents 164-31 during the fourgame winning streak, and that’s despite playing a lot of backups on offense or largely just trying to kill clock with big leads in the second half.

Now comes what’s usually the best week of the year in Columbia: Homecoming week.

Missouri hosts Ole Miss on Saturday (6:00 p.m. on ESPN2).

Homecoming is a fun chance to step back in time, to remember all the autumns gone by at MU. It’s an event that connects fans and alumni today with more than a century of tradition, a celebration of the university and the old tradition of spending fall Saturdays at Memorial Stadium.

Ole Miss (3-3, 2-1 in SEC) provides a decent test on Homecoming. Missouri is a little over a touchdown favorite, but the Rebels are coming off a commanding

31-6 win over Vanderbilt.

Ole Miss freshman quarterback John Ryhs Plumlee was on a roll in that game, making some throws and most importantly running for 165 yards and a touchdown. He’ll be a challenge for that Tiger defense.

There’s some uncertainty about Bryant for the Tigers, but what’s certain is that the season has hit its stride, and each week the stakes seem to be getting higher.

It’ll be a crisp night under the lights in Columbia, setting a good stage for this one.

Statue donations Last February the City of St Joseph teamed up with the Allied Arts Council and the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri to raise donations to replace the lead skater in the Catch Me If You Can bronze sculptures, located north of Corby Pond. The statue was stolen in December, 2018.

A fund was established with The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. to receive donations.

For information about how you can donate or to or establish a fund, call Mary Hinde at the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri at 816-2322202.

Watch for slow-moving farm vehicles This autumn, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind motorists to be on the lookout for slow-moving farm vehicles. Please remember that farmers are just doing their jobs when moving equipment from field to field. It’s important that we be patient and drive carefully around farm vehicles.

Non-farm motorists may not immediately recognize farm equipment on roadways or be aware of the special hazards they present. Lighting and reflector locations on tractors, combines and other farm equipment are

different from other motor vehicles. Loads on farm vehicles may be wider than other vehicles, which present special hazards for other motorists when left, right, rear and front projections are not easily recognizable.

The most common collisions occur when the approaching motorist hits a farm vehicle from behind (rear-end collision), or when a passing motorist hits a farm vehicle that is attempting to make a wide left turn (left sideswipe).

Buckle up and put your phone down.

There have been at least two cases from

Daviess County go before the Supreme Court of Missouri — the highest court in the state — which involved murder convictions.

One went well for the defendant. The case of the State of Missouri verse Larkin Packwood on an indictment for murder in Harrison Township came up before the state’s Supreme Court in 1858.

Packwood was accused of murdering John T. Dougherty.

The trial took place in Caldwell County in April, 1857, by a change of venue. Packwood was found guilty. But the Supreme Court overturned the lower court’s decision and held, “that the testimony adduced did not warrant the verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.”

John A. Bozarth was not so fortunate in his bid for a new trial.

Oct. 9, 2019

shotgun off him and he was laying for him to catch him in there.” He said the shotgun belonged to Warford’s son.

The record also shows that Bozarth had borrowed the hammer used in the beating from a Mr. Shipers, who worked for the MFA, and that he had borrowed it on Friday before the killing on Wednesday.

Bozarth told Robert Smith (defendant’s witness) that Cain had been around, and he wouldn’t say that Cain stole the shotgun, but “he wasn’t above stealing it” and that he (Bozarth) would have to pay $125 to Lyle Warford.

On the date in question, August 12, 1959, one Walker took Bozarth to Lambert’s Liquor Store about dark. Lambert testified that he sold Bozarth a pint of wine from his liquor store. He said Bozarth arrived at the store about nine o’clock and stayed at the store until closing time, about 10 p.m.

The murder of Millard Cain: One of only 2 local trials ever to go to the Supreme Court Taken from Justia, Missouri Case Law, Supreme Court of Missouri Decisions, 1962, State v. Bozarth Bozarth was charged with murder in the first degree on Oct. 23, 1959. Again, the case received a change of venue to Caldwell County.

On June 29, 1961, the jury returned a verdict finding Bozarth guilty of manslaughter, but was unable to agree on the punishment. The court assessed his punishment at 10 years. He was committed to the Department of Corrections at Jefferson City.

Bozarth appealed. He wanted a new trial. He offered a motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of all the evidence.

Bozarth was charged with the murder of Millard F. Cain on Aug. 12, 1959, in Daviess County.

It was the State’s theory that defendant suspected Cain of having stolen a shotgun from him; that he induced Cain to visit his cabin for a drink of wine and there beat him with a hammer. The injuries sustained, however, did not result in death until August 16, 1959.

The State waived the death penalty.

O

n Aug. 12, 1959, John Bozarth was living in a cabin on the west side of Highway 69 at the east edge of Pattonsburg. He had rented the cabin about Aug. 1 of that year. The cabin in question was one of a group of four or five small cabins known as the Elms Cabins. These cabins, apparently in bad repair, had been rented in connection with a service station, which was no longer in operation.

Bozarth’s cabin consisted of two rooms, a closet and a “cubbyhole” that was formerly built for, or used as, a shower stall. Some evidence showed it to be only about two feet wide.

Bozarth, 59, had worked in the past at various types of labor, but was then working for the MFA, hauling cobs. He was in the habit of drinking wine to excess and, after his character was in issue, the State showed that his reputation for turbulence and violence was bad.

The deceased, referred to as Millard “Petey” Cain, 69, was a farm laborer and fisherman and drew a small pension. He was referred to as “an alcoholic and wino” and also as “one of the town drunks.” There was evidence that frequently, when drunk, he would go to the Elms cabins and “sleep it off.”

On the issue of motive, the State’s evidence showed that Bozarth stated he had caught “Petey” Cain pilfering around in his cabin a week or so prior to the date in question; that Cain “had stole a

At that time defendant was not intoxicated and appeared to be in a normal condition. He did not open the wine while at Lambert’s place. The store is located on Highway 69, a quarter of a mile north of Pattonsburg. Bozarth left on foot.

W

oodrow Morris, the operator of a service station on Highway 69 about one block north of the Elms Cabins, saw the defendant and Cain together at about five minutes past ten on the night of Wednesday, Aug. 12, 1959. They were going south on foot. The only conversation they had was when Bozarth asked Cain if he had had a drink and Cain said, “No. I’ve quit. Clear quit.”

The city park takes up nearly all of the block, except what is occupied by these old cabins and an old filling station. Mr. Woodring, who was mowing in the city park, saw Mr. Cain about 9:30 p.m. coming from a westerly direction, going east, and waved at him. He appeared normal.

Cain’s son also testified that, on the evening of August 12, 1959, Cain left the son’s residence about 10 p. m. It was then dark. His father had been drinking but was not drunk, only about half intoxicated. Bozarth’s cabin was about one block from the home of Cain’s son.

When Cain left, he went down the alley and through the park in the direction of the Elms Cabins.

At approximately 10:15 to 10:30 on the night of Aug. 12, 1959, Bozarth went to the home of Sam Graham and requested that he call an undertaker as there was a dead man in his cabin. Mr. Graham called Dr. Baumgardner, Coroner of Daviess County. Dr. Baumgardner proceeded to the Elms cabin where he found Bozarth who showed him where Millard “Petey” Cain was lying. Cain was unconscious, but alive.

Dr. Baumgardner then left Cain and Bozarth, and went and called the marshal and an undertaker. They all arrived back at the cabin at approximately the same time, and Cain was removed to the Noll Memorial Hospital at Bethany by ambulance. Bozarth was left alone in the cabin.

ain was found lying on his back, with his head in the northwest corner of the shower stall and his legs and feet extending out into the closet. There was nothing in his hands.

It was most difficult to remove the body from the shower stall or “cubbyhole” due to the smallness of the space and the cramped position of the

15

body. Cain’s head was very bloody, his injuries were very recent, and there was much blood on the floor and walls of the room that “takes you into the little closet.”

Subsequently the sheriff was called and went to the cabin and found Bozarth, who picked up the hammer and said, “This is the hammer.” It was a claw hammer. That the same night the marshal, the sheriff and the prosecuting attorney returned to the scene and found Bozarth alone.

At that time there was a box of dynamite in the corner from which Cain’s body had been taken.

An examination of the box revealed no blood on it except for a spot on the bottom. Bozarth said it had been in the corner all of the time; however, witnesses had not seen the dynamite in the shower stall at any time until their return after Cain had been removed.

t the time Bozarth requested Mr. Graham to call the undertaker Bozarth was staggering and Mr. Graham smelled alcohol and thought Bozarth was drunk, but he talked intelligently. Ladd, the marshal, testified that Bozarth had been drinking, while Sheriff Houghton stated that defendant was nervous and had been drinking, but he would not say he was drunk.

When Bozarth asked Mr. Graham to call an undertaker he told Graham he found Millard “Petey” Cain in his house and he had “popped him.” He told Dr. Baumgardner he had caught Cain in the cabin and “worked him over with a hammer.” He told the city marshal, Ladd, that he caught “Petey” Cain pilfering around and knocked him in the head with his hammer. Bozarth also told Ladd that “he had the hammer to beat up Pete Cain if he caught him in his home there.” He told the sheriff he had caught Cain in his cabin and “clobbered him.”

Later he told the sheriff “I went home, unlocked the cabin and heard a noise back in the back there. That hammer was laying on the table in the front room, I got it and went back in there and caught Petey Cain down on his knees over that box of dynamite” and “I clobbered him with it.”

After he was arrested the sheriff took him to Gallatin to jail. When Bozarth learned that Cain had died he stated to the sheriff that Cain did not have a weapon and that he did not hit Cain in self defense.

Cain died about 4 p. m. on August 16, 1959, and it was the doctor’s opinion that Cain died of intercranial hemorrhage, which occurred secondary to skull fracture and a penetrating wound of the skull.

B

ozarth’s version of the occurrence was that, when he walked into his cabin at approximately 10 p. m. on the night of Aug. 12, 1959, he heard a noise back in the closet and he picked up the hammer from off the table. At that time a man pushed him and hit him in the chest.

Bozarth staggered back against the doorway and then hit the other person twice with the flat head of the hammer. The other fellow then said: “I’ll fix you.” Bozarth recognized the voice of the person, who had pushed and hit him, as that of Millard “Petey” Cain. Bozarth further testified: “I kept pushing with one hand and I take the second lick and he staggered back in the corner. I turned the light on and I seen he was knocked out.”

Bozarth struck Cain the second blow while both of them were in the clothes closet. He “did not hit Cain [while] in the cubbyhole.”

The defendant further stated that he had a box of dynamite in the closet and that Cain was lying with one shoulder on this box of dynamite. He had never drunk wine with Millard Cain, nor associated with him. He was afraid of Cain because of Cain’s bad reputation as a violent and turbulent man. Defendant had borrowed the hammer to put up kitchen shelves.

T

he Supreme Court stated, that in viewing the evidence in a light favorable to the State, it is clear that the court did not err in overruling defendant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal as tendered at the close of all the evidence.

The judgment was affirmed. All concurred.
