Lori Kloepping faces new stage in battle with health …and healthcare system by T.L. Huffman
Lori Kloepping, who has battled Lupus for years, recently found out she has late stage 4 kidney disease. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. About 75% of those with Lupus end up with kidney disease, and stage 5 is life threatening. Last Thursday, Lori met with a transplant team at Research Hospital in Kansas City. “It’s a long, long process,” said Cheryl (Haggerty) Hoke, who has set up a funding account for Lori. Lori and Cheryl graduated Gallatin High School together in 1982 and have remained
friends through the years. “The search for a kidney can take from six months to two years,” said Cheryl. “Right now Lori is tired, worried and overwhelmed.” Insurance will not cover the entire cost of the operation that will save Lori’s life. It will cost $417,000 for a kidney transplant, and that doesn’t include aftercare. One pill which she must take each month for three to six months after the operation costs $4,500 a pill. To help with the financing, Cheryl has set up a “www.gofundme.com/lifeandloveforLori” account. “To date, we’ve raised close (continued on page 3)
Two projects for the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center are finished and paid for. The center has a new roof and a new dishwasher, thanks to donations. The original roof was over 20 years old. BTC Bank of Pattonsburg donated $10,000 toward installation of the new metal roof. The dishwasher had been leased and required monthly payments. Now the center has its own CMA commercial dishwasher thanks to donations from businesses and individuals in the community. The cost of the roof was $12,600 and the cost of the dishwasher was $3,235, for a total of $15,835 for both projects. The center’s administrator, Cheryl Cornett, said two of the multi-purpose board members were instrumental in securing funds, Brian Teel and Cassie Manion. “I want to thank every-

Digital service proposes to do Google Maps on county, only better High definition aerial photography applied for various use with substantial benefits Google Maps is incredible, mapping the entire world with accuracy and putting an increasing amount of data at your fingertips within the grasp of your cell phone. Since its launch 12 years ago, Google Maps has become indispensable to many. This web mapping service offers satellite imagery, street maps, 360° panoramic views of streets, real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for travel by foot, car, bicycle, or public transportation. But for some applications, Google Maps is not good enough. That’s the message Jonathan Ballard of Pictometry delivered to local county and city officials during a digital presentation Nov. 1 at the Daviess County courthouse. Ballard says Pictometry, whose parent company is EagleView of Rochester, N.Y., is the preferred mapping service provider chosen by many entities for:
• 911 and emergency response • utility service mapping • law enforcement • tax assessment Government entities located in over 1,400 counties across the nation agree. Today this number includes over 35 Missouri counties which have contracted with EagleView for highly accurate mapping services, including Andrew and Buchanan counties in Northwest Missouri. Ballard signed Livingston County to a service agreement the day before stopping in Gallatin; decisions are pending in Caldwell, Clinton, Ray and Linn counties. If the EagleView proposal for Daviess County is accepted, the estimated cost exceeding $53,000 for the first three years could be split among participating entities. As district manager for EagleView in four states, Mr. Ballard’s presentation explained why he believes EagleView’s
property data service is a good fit for Daviess County. First, Ballard describes differences between “oblique imagery” used by EagleView (multi-angles) and “ortho imagery” used by Google (straight projectory). “Oblique imagery makes all the difference in the world,” Ballard says. “You can get the wrong idea looking at Google’s perspective. In an aerial view for instance, you can’t always tell if the rectangle you’re looking at is the top of a building or a parking lot.” EagleView uses five cameras installed in low-flying airplanes to photograph geography — one ortho camera, plus four cameras shooting at angles to provide the oblique perspectives. All five cameras fire frames every three seconds. The trick is applying technologies to merge all the mapping data into somewhat of a 3D format.
Christmas Around the Square
“EagleView has five patented processes that essentially give the viewer a complete view around whatever is the point of interest,” Ballard said. “Ours is the only oblique mapping service and we’re certified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).” The higher the resolution, the better the detail. Ballard says that with Google’s mapping, one pixel on the image equals 12 inches on the ground. With EagleView imagery, one pixel is usually equal to nine inches on the ground; for an additional fee, the mapping resolution can be as low as one pixel to four inches on the ground. Quality isn’t by pixel counts alone. Ballard explains that EagleView uses the largest fleet of private airplanes operating in the nation to do its aerial photography. Over 150 Cessna 172 airplanes (and also Piper PA-23 airplanes for higher (continued on page 12)

The life of a giver by Freida Marie Crump
Volunteers are friends It’s hard to believe but the upcoming “Christmas Around the Square” will be the fifth year for the festival. Time flies when somebody else is doing most of the lifting. It’s volunteers like event chairwomen Sally Black, Judy Elbert and Cyd Terry who deserve much credit for lifting Yuletide spirits in Gallatin. Volunteers represent what is best about small towns: a willingness to work for the benefit of others coupled with an inner strength and desire to make a difference. And it’s not always just about fun and games. Every fire protection district in this county is manned by volunteers. Ambulance district boards are volunteers. Every church is an organization of volunteers. Every local school is governed by a board of volunteers. Every volunteer group thrives when it strives to complete an improvement project or while spearheading efforts to help some family or individual in obvious need. The best news stories we publish are about volunteers. This week’s front page, for instance, features the good news about a new roof and essential equipment for Pattonsburg’s senior center. Donations are volunteers in greenbacks. One of the best ongoing examples of volunteer organizations is the Seventh-day Adventist Community Center in Gallatin, an enterprise where there’s no denominational disruption between volunteers. The focus is on helping others. The list could go on: the Jameson Picnic now 126 years young, the past 32 modern Chautauquas, renewed after origins in the early 20th Century, the Jamesport Community Association and so forth. Much of what’s best in America began with something volunteered ...including and especially those who sacrificed their very lives serving others. Willing hearts can accomplish much when focused. Some folks just grin and walk away from opportunities to serve others. Being selfish comes naturally. Volunteer outfits aren’t always efficient. A willingness to serve isn’t necessarily coupled with having the talent and the wherewithal to succeed or excel. Some volunteers step up only because of feelings of guilt, hoping the next time they will be given something easier to do (like maybe baking 58 dozen cupcakes). Some “my way or the highway” volunteers make life
miserable. Too much effort often is wasted on the job of wrangling wayward volunteers into the right general direction. Doing good isn’t always feeling good. Sometimes you just persevere. Volunteering is work, sometimes physically and always mentally. Even when things work out, volunteers eventually poop out — especially when there are too few of them.
Off the Editor’s Spike...
by Darryl Wilkinson
That’s why something relatively new has my attention. There’s a not-for-profit legally organized that could coordinate — not replace, but perhaps coordinate — various volunteer efforts going off into different directions. It’s called The Friends of Gallatin. It has potential to perpetuate and coordinate volunteer efforts to greater advantage, providing its volunteers apply some vision. Not all that much has happened so far. So, perhaps you missed what could someday be viewed as a watershed moment when the Friends first organized. It involved the cupola building on the east side of the Gallatin square when that property looked its derelict worst. Now, we’re told, the building will house a bakery with storefront sometime in 2018. Money pledged by the Gallatin Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) greased the deal. The idea was to spend a little money to fix the roof — to buy time. The GIDA, inactive for years, had available funds which the city does not. The pledge was a ray of optimism at a critical juncture. Still, it was anybody’s bet whether any money spent on the building would be wasted. Eventually, a path toward a plan began to take shape, a path familiar to volunteers who choose to be optimistic. Focus on the obvious. Fix the roof. Maybe in time some business might expand or relocate or perhaps a buyer might arrive chasing some other purpose. If all else fails, convert the property for community use. Our elected officials at city hall showed their mettle. Mayor Ballew appointed a citizens com-
mittee to explore possible community options. Ideas were developed that included relocating city hall in the cupola building and converting the old grocery store area into a community center. A tentative floor plan was drafted, and a development time frame proposed. Good ideas generate enthusiasm. The volunteers convinced city hall to legally organize a 501(c)(3) non-profit “Friends of Gallatin” in preparation for fundraising, including finance avenues through USDA programs. That’s no small thing — optimism — for a small town. And now as a result of such effort, the Friends of Gallatin can help develop our community in other ways going forward. That’s how optimism grows. A spark. Then little steps, one step followed by another. Volunteers line up; leadership emerges. Confidence builds. Optimism creates an atmosphere where revision and corrections are welcome as others embrace a vision. Momentum grows. There are several long-lived organizations whose volunteers are gasping for breath. The GIDC and its companion Gallatin Industrial Development Authority ... the county’s Historical Society and perhaps others are tottering that, truth be told, might surprise you. Organizations dependent on volunteers are always at risk whenever there’s a changing in the guard. Some reorganization is in order. We need to work together. As our population and our community’s place in this world changes, we need to work together more than ever. The chance of retaining a license office in this town is but one more recent measure. To have success means there must be successors. A better chance for continuity among volunteers in Gallatin is something the Friends of Gallatin can provide. There’s stability in having its volunteer board members be elected officials. Seeing how the city already leverages financing for utility equipment through Friends assures a perpetual (and healthy) self-interest. Friends of Gallatin offers a new platform for achieving goals volunteers target. I’m not sure how this line of thinking might be refined and developed. I can’t list the goals that should be targeted. I don’t know if independent volunteers can actually work together underneath the umbrella of Friends. But

Greetings from Poosey. You didn’t mess with Mabel Cunningham. She was the queen of the potluck, and every time the hot summer months roll around I think back to the days when Mabel ruled our church’s kitchen. When Mabel died there was some talk about erecting a shrine to her tuna casserole. Other churches dedicate choir lofts and pianos to various departed congregational saints, but the Methodists find few things more holy than a potluck properly prepared. When Mabel entered the kitchen of the fellowship hall a reverent silence fell upon the aproned ladies present. Small children would stop playing when the aroma of her corn chowder wafted into the room. If she arrived before church and left her Cincinnati-Style FiveWay Chili bubbling in the room next to the sanctuary, the minister would purposely cut his sermon short, knowing that no words of his could compete with scent of Mabel’s brew calling the flock to the potluck. Mabel was not a haughty woman. In fact, if you’d compliment her on her Texas sheet cake she’d blush and say, “Oh, it was just something I threw together.” But any cook worth her spatula knew that a skill such as Mabel’s was not the product of luck or even study of the culinary arts. God somehow touched Mabel’s spoons in a way that would have given Moses and his bush some stiff competition. Some women have the gift. That’s all there is to it. Being one of God’s non-gifted flock, I know that I’ve stood pan-to-pan beside women doing the exact things as I did with the identical ingredients. But somehow these angels of the crockpot turn out a dish that makes me want to hide mine behind the water cooler. Mabel was just such a kitchen magician. If the potluck was to be held on Sunday then the phone lines ‘round Poosey would buzz on Saturday as we all frantically called around the neighborhood to find out what she was bringing. If Mabel was doing her Greek pasta salad or whipping up a batch of her hot spinach artichoke dip then you’d better bring a dessert. No Methodist alive could stand comparison to this wizard of the whisk. When Mabel would bring her Georgia peach pie, the assembled eaters would rush to the dessert table, grab a slice and plop it down at their place before entering the main line. She had this trick of baking the thing at high heat, causing the crust to set before the fruit had been cooked and thus creating this delightful little pocket of fragrant space between the two. None of us could match this. I’d turn up the heat and my crust would combust. Mabel held no secrets and was always glad to tell us how she’d managed to pull off such heavenly feats, but for me it was like Tiger Woods saying, “Just putt. It’s easy.” We buried her with her favorite mixing spoon, of course, first waiting until she’d passed away. It was a beautiful funeral. The ladies of our church pulled out all the stops for the post-service meal. We’d carefully plotted out our battle plans with each cook assigned to recreate one of Mabel’s famous dishes, and though we all fell short of her magic, but the thought was there. I sat there at her funeral service listening to “In the Garden” and “How Great Thou Art,” Mabel’s two most cherished hymns, and thought of the many people I know who provide the world with little dibs and dabs of beauty, folks mostly unrecognized and seldom making any headlines beyond the food section of the local newspaper. Fred Haley sat in the row ahead of me. As soon as the first snowflake hits, Fred has it swept off the church steps. No one pays him to be our de facto scooper, he just does it. Ahead of him sat Adelaide Burns who makes sure that not a Sunday passes without a spray of fresh flowers at the altar. I gazed across the aisle to see the Hagner family who are always the first to arrive at your doorstep with cinnamon rolls when someone in your household is ailing or you’re simply pressed to get the kids off to school. Row after row, I looked across our little congregation and saw good people who sought no notice, asked for nothing in return, and simply made a lifelong habit of giving, of doing good. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Mabel Cunningham was the fact that when she cooked for herself at home, she was content with the simplest of meals. She once told me that there was nothing she enjoyed more than a baloney sandwich and a cold glass of iced tea in the evenings after her husband had passed away. She had the gift of magic in her fingers but she seldom used it for herself. Mabel said, “I don’t get that much joy from cooking. It’s the faces of the eaters that brightens my day.” In a world often intent on taking, the life of a giver is indeed an occasion for a good potluck. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Tax reform a home run for Missouri farmers?
by Spencer Tuma
1985 was a great year to be a Kansas City Royals fan, but if you are a student of tax policy, you will know 1986 was truly the record year. In late October 1986, baseball fans watched in anticipation as the New York Mets claimed their first World Series title in franchise history. That same week, President Reagan signed major tax reform legislation into law that would guide America’s tax policy for more than 30 years. A lot has happened in the past 31 years. Not only have there been changes in baseball, but President Trump and Congress have been tossing around the idea of major tax reform since well before last year’s election. On Thursday, Republicans in the House
of Representatives released their game plan for tax reform, also known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This long-anticipated piece of legislation serves as Congress’s first pitch toward reforming our federal tax code. Now that the bill has been introduced, it faces a tough battle in the House and Senate. Congressional Republicans have vowed to have the bill signed by the President by the end of this year. Farmers and ranchers know the key to successful tax reform is lowering their overall effective tax rate. Agriculture leaders from all over the industry have made it clear to Congress that agriculture’s unique business circumstances must be represented and addressed fairly with any new tax system.
Lori Kleopping facing new battles to $10,000, and that is amazing, given that the account was set up less than a month ago. But there is more work to be done,” said Cheryl. “When Lori met with the transplant team last week, they were elated that this amount of money was already raised. We believe that will help her chances in getting a kidney sooner.” If you are more comfortable donating locally, accounts have also been set up at BTC Bank
and Farmers Bank in Gallatin. Community fundraisers are in the works. Laura Hoyle will soon be doing some “Holiday Baking with a Heart (Or a Kidney)”. Watch Laura’s Facebook page for posting in December. Lori said her meeting with the transplant team went well. “The pre-transplant coordinator is a lady I used to work with,” said Lori, who was a licensed practical nurse and emergency medical technician for many
Spike: Volunteers are friends there is need. For instance, we all know how many business buildings (and homes) throughout Gallatin stand vacant. But did you know that there is no vacancy for vendor space in the upcoming Christmas Around the Square? Organizers booked nearly all the 42 indoor spaces before registrations were publicly announced. To me, that’s just another reminder about how this town could really use a community building, something like Jamesport’s Spillman Center. Whooooa, now. I’m good at putting the cart before the horse. If you go online and click on FriendsOfGallatin.org what you mostly see describes a small town’s social events focused on children: event schedules and details about the 2017 Eclipse, the Chautauqua, Scare on the Square, and now Christmas
Fortunately, the tax reform package introduced in the House maintains some key provisions that are crucial to the success of farmers and ranchers, including maintaining cash accounting, continuing the business interest deduction, and increasing the Section 179 immediate expensing threshold. In addition, the proposal increases the exemption for the federal estate tax for the next few years until it is eventually eliminated. With any type of legislation, a true grand slam is rare. While many proposed changes to the tax code seem positive for farmers and ranchers, there are several issues that need to be addressed, such as like-kind exchanges and deductions for state and local taxes, among others. In the coming weeks the bill will likely
years. “The next trip to the hospital will involve a total heart work up and blood work.” After that, if the transplant team approves, Lori will sit down with the surgeons to discuss being placed on the donor list. Testing for donors will also begin. “Lori and her family have always been willing to lend their time and talent to anyone in the community in need,” said Cheryl. “This is a chance for the community to lend her a hand in turn.”

undergo changes, substitutions may be made, and some of the original provisions may even get tossed from the game. Just like baseball, legislation can be unpredictable. Attaining effective tax reform for Missouri’s farmers and ranchers is no easy task, but the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is certainly an encouraging step in the right direction. Recently, the Houston Astros made history as they claimed their first World Series title in franchise history. Now, it is time for historical tax reform that makes positive changes for Missouri’s farmers and ranchers.

Square scare pumpkin, trunk winners
Teen hurt when truck overturns Alexander Myers, 19, Arnold, received minor injuries in an accident that happened at about 1:50 p.m. on Nov. 1 in Daviess County. According to the highway patrol, Alexander was northbound on State Route CC driving a 2016 Mack concrete truck and traveled off the east side of the roadway.

KCP&L bulbs to Second Harvest Earlier this week, the majority of the U.S. set their clocks back an hour. This means the days will become shorter and the lights in homes will stay on longer. This year, KCP&L will make things brighter while helping families save money and energy all year long. KCP&L is proud to donate more than 17,000 ENERGY STAR certified Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs to the Second Harvest Community Food Bank. Pantry clients across the region will receive the energy efficient bulbs throughout the year to help reduce energy use and costs freeing up their limited resources for life’s other necessities.

Flag exchange a success despite chill, more flags on hand from auxiliary In honor of Veterans Day, Frank Frazier Post 2172 VFW Auxiliary invited families to bring their worn American flags to the east side entrance of the Daviess County Courthouse on Nov. 4 between 9 a.m. and noon to trade for a complimentary new 3-by-5-foot replacement flag. The Knee-Hi 4-H club provided teams of children and adults to man the exchange for the entire three hours. The morning was brisk and overcast, but did have
a relative good turn-out and was considered a success by all involved. The auxiliary has more flags and invites members of the community to cut out the ad on page nine of this edition of the paper and contact the auxiliary for a home-delivered exchange of your worn flags. Every effort will be made to meet these requests prior to dusk on Friday evening, Nov. 10, in preparation for Veterans Day this Saturday.

Check your Kidde fire extinguisher State Fire Marshal Tim Bean is urging all Missourians to check their fire extinguishers following a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall of almost 38 million Kidde brand fire extinguishers in the U.S. Thursday’s CPSC recall notice links one death to a Kidde extinguisher that did not work
properly for emergency personnel at a car fire in 2014. CPSC says there have been almost 400 reports of failures to activate or nozzles detaching with enough force to pose a hazard. Information on the CPSC recall, including photographs and model numbers, is available on the CPSC website: https://www.cpsc.gov/.

HUNTER’S BREAKFAST
Keep the stubble During a special month-long campaign called “No-Till November,” the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is encouraging Missouri farmers to “keep the stubble” on their harvested crop fields and improve soil health. State Conservationist J.R. Flores cited four basic principles for soil health: 1) Keep the soil covered as much as possible; 2) Do not disturb the soil; 3) Keep plants growing throughout the year to feed soil organisms; 4) Use plant diversity to increase diversity in the soil. Managing for healthier soils leads to increased organic matter, more soil organisms, reduced compaction and improved nutrient storage and cycling.

Summit gas rate increase by dime
Cameron Regional hosts blood drive
To reflect estimated changes in the wholesale cost of natural gas as well as a change in the company’s Actual Cost Adjustment (ACA) factor, Summit Natural Gas of Missouri, Inc. (Summit Natural Gas) customers will see natural gas rates change under a filing that takes effect on Nov. 8. Residential customers in Gallatin currently pay approximately $0.35 per Ccf (per hundred cubic feet) of natural gas. Under this filing, the rate will increase to approximately $0.45 per Ccf—an increase of approximately $0.10 per Ccf. The ACA factor is a mechanism which tracks any overcollection or under-collection of actual natural gas costs over a 12-month period. The net overcollected or under-collected balances are subsequently either refunded or collected the next year. Summit Natural Gas serves approximately 18,260 natural gas customers in Missouri.

He graduated from Gallatin High School and enlisted in the United States Army in 1950, during the Korean War, proudly serving his country for two years. His discipline and patriotism that he learned while in the military stayed with him throughout his life. After being discharged from the military, Sidney was united in marriage to Helen Hershberger Nov. 12, 1954, in Gallatin, where they began their married life. They purchased a farm southwest of Gallatin and Sid farmed and raised cattle. He started working for Lambert Cap Factory where he was foreman of the cutting room for many years.

Sid not only took pride in his business, but also relished the friends he made during his time in business. They later purchased a farm west of Gallatin where they lived until Helen passed away earlier this year. They were community minded and always looked for better ways to serve the public. Sid retired from Highlands Nursing Home in Gallatin in 1989 where he was the maintenance man. He was an entrepreneur, carpenter and farmer his entire life and passed that spirit on to his boys. In 1990, Sid and Helen joined their son Mike and started the US 36 Raceway Track in Osborn. He greatly enjoyed his visits to the track and made many friends through the years. Sid looked forward to his daily visits to Casey's and the Corner Café to have coffee with his friends and to catch up on the current events around town. He never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was extremely proud of his family, and looked forward to their visits and was always interested in what they were doing. He lived his life to the fullest, his dedication to his family and community will be the legacy he leaves behind in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. Sid was preceded in death by his parents, his loving wife of 65 years, Helen; three brothers, Freeman, Colman and James Franks; sisters, Irene Brown, Margaret Smith and Coleen McMasters.

Bulldogs fill 14 positions on All-GRC squad A second place finish in the Grand River Conference East paid off for Gallatin with the release of all-conference football teams last Thursday. The Bulldogs, who finished 5-2 in the league behind unbeaten Princeton, landed 10 players on the select list, and in doing so filled 14 positions. Three Bulldogs were picked at more than one position, including junior Graydee Rains, who earned unanimous choice honors on the offensive line and at defensive end, where he registered 78 tackles, 21 for loss. He notched 5.5 quarterback sacks, forced six fumbles, recovered two fumbles and blocked a pair of punts. Senior Caleb Boyd made every list. He was picked on the first team offense for his all-around success running and catching the ball. He finished with 595 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns and caught 25 passes for 486 yards and five TDs. He
was an honorable mention pick as a return specialist and made the conference second team at defensive back, where he recovered three fumbles. Senior Cole McBee made the first team at linebacker and was honorable mention at quarterback. McBee chalked up 74 tackles, including seven for loss, and registered one fumble recovery and interception. Offensively, he finished with 890 yards passing and nine touchdowns and ran for a team-high 711 yards and seven scores. Senior Patrick McNickle joined Rains on the first team defensive line. He finished with 69 tackles, five for loss. McNickle also was awarded honorable mention on the offensive line. Sophomore Gaven Gray-Walker finished with 41 tackles and five interceptions for the Bulldogs and was the team’s fourth member on the All-GRC first team defensive squad. Special teams play was an em-
phasis for Gallatin this season and it showed. Senior Colin Beck was named first team punter with a 33-yard average and eight punts placed inside the opposing team’s 20-yard line. Junior Adrian Hernandez was again the league’s best place-kicker. Despite missing part of the season with an injury, he made 25 of 27 extra points and four of seven field goals. His longest field goal came from 35 yards. Senior Corbin Toney was a second team conference pick at running back. He rushed for 648 yards and eight touchdowns and caught seven passes out of the backfield for 98 yards. Two more Bulldogs were named on the second team defensive unit. Senior linebacker Noah Engel led the Bulldogs in tackles with 104, including six for loss. He also recovered a pair of fumbles. Junior defensive end Tom Crouse registered 102 tackles, 10 for loss, 5.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries.

Mizzou routs Florida, hosts Tennessee for Senior Day by Benjamin Herrold Missouri’s game at Faurot Field on Saturday was played under a steel gray, typically November sky, but it felt like some sun was finally shining on the program. Missouri demolished Florida 45-16 — the Tigers’ third straight win. Their bowl chances, which looked dead in early October, were starting to look good…. likely, even. Missouri (4-5, 1-4) picked up its first SEC win, and now has three more games against beatable SEC opponents to close the season. Florida (3-5, 3-4 in SEC) is a reeling team that lost for the fourth time in a row and was playing with an interim head coach, Randy Shannon. But even with all the tumult facing the Gators these days, this was still a more impressive win than the previous two, at home against Idaho and at Connecticut. After quarterback Drew Lock threw an interception in the end zone on the first drive of the
game, the Tigers rolled, leading 28-3 late in the second quarter and delighting the small but appreciative crowd. Lock was efficient at throwing the ball, completing 15 of 21 passes. But Missouri’s ground game was perhaps even more impressive. The Tigers pounded the ball, running 46 times for 227 yards, methodically marching up and down the field and giving their defense much longer breaks than usual. Ish Witter and Larry Rountree each ran for 83 yards. It was the kind of win that could maybe help Missouri fans start to feel optimistic again. It feels like the program has some positive momentum, even if it’s a fairly modest helping. Missouri continues its tour of the bottom of the SEC on Saturday when the Tennessee Volunteers come to Columbia (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network). The Tigers are a solid favorite in this one, which would’ve seemed questionable earlier in the year but now reflects the recent results for the two schools.
Volunteers crucial to Holiday Hoops Holiday Hoops 2017 is just over a month away and an invitation for volunteers has been issued to support the 13th annual event. Over 250 volunteers will once again be needed to adequately staff the big event that tips off at North Central Missouri College in Trenton on Dec. 18 and concludes on Dec. 30, with breaks for the holidays and Sundays. In making the announcement, Hoops Director Steve Maxey says there is something for every kind of volunteer to do, all while enjoying exciting high school basketball at its best. Volunteers are needed to serve as team hosts for the 107 teams, and operating game clocks and managing the official scorebook.
Additional volunteers are needed to staff the front desk and assist with hospitality and special sales. “We simply could not provide the support that this event requires without the involvement of volunteers,” Maxey says. “And one way we can show our appreciation is to provide each volunteer with a complimentary pass to any and all games during the 10 day event,” he added. Persons wishing to become a volunteer should contact Steve Maxey at 660-359-7244 or by email at maxeysteve@gmail. com. Persons may also visit the Holiday Hoops Facebook page to indicate their desire to become a volunteer.
From the Bench
More about trial procedures by Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott The last few articles outlined the jury selection process for a criminal case and the trial procedure once the jury is selected. If you will recall, since the state bears the burden of proof, the prosecutor is required to present their evidence first. Once the state has rested, the defendant may offer evidence; however, they are not required to do so. Any witnesses the defendant calls are questioned first by defense counsel in what is called direct examination. The prosecuting attorney then has the right to “cross-examine” the defense witnesses. The parties may also find it necessary to conduct limited “re-direct” and “re-cross” examination of the witnesses. The defendant may also choose to testify, however, he/she is not required to do so and no inference may be drawn from their failure to do so. If defense witnesses have testified and the defendant has rested his/her case, the state may call “rebuttal” witnesses to contradict evidence presented by the defense. If the state has presented rebuttal evidence the defense may choose to offer “surrebuttal” evidence or testimony. Judges are afforded some discretion in determining the admissibility of evidence with the ultimate goal of insuring all parties receive a fair trial. When both parties have rested their cases the judge will likely take a recess and meet with the attorneys to determine what instructions will be provided to the jury to assist in their deliberations. When the final instructions are prepared, the jury will be returned to the courtroom and the judge will read the instructions to the jury. The attorneys will then present what are called closing arguments. The attorneys will summarize the evidence they want the jury to consider and the law as it applies to the facts. The prosecuting attorney is required to present his/her closing argument first. Defense counsel is then permitted to argue the case. Since the state has the burden of proof, the prosecutor may then offer a limited rebuttal argument. No further argument is permitted. The judge will then provide the jury with a written copy of their instructions and they are sent to a private room to deliberate. Editor’s Note: Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott offers this in a series of articles intended to provide the public with a better understanding of the judicial system and changes in the law. Judge Elliott will next discuss the jury deliberation process.
The Vols (4-5, 0-5 in SEC) are winless in conference play and seem to be barreling toward firing coach Butch Jones. Tennessee had lost four straight before beating Southern Miss 24-10 at Neyland Stadium last Saturday. The Vols have especially struggled on offense, ranking 111th nationally in passing yards per game, 103rd in rushing yards and 107th in scoring. They have shuffled generally ineffective quarterbacks, but running back John Kelly can be pretty dangerous. Despite being suspended for the Kentucky game, he has 694 rushing yards on the season. Missouri still has its flaws, but this is a game the Tigers should win. Tennessee has been reeling most of the season, and Jones has sort of felt like a lame duck coach for weeks now. But Tennessee does have some talent on the roster, so the Tigers should be wary. A win would bring the Tigers within one win of bowl eligibility. Missouri next plays at Vanderbilt, the other team that is winless in SEC play. Then comes the season final at Arkansas, which has one SEC win. The opportunities are there, but Missouri still has work to do to save something of the season.

Blasts Past from the
Nov. 7, 2007 Thirty-four years and nine head coaches since he became the voice most identified with Gallatin Bulldog football, Wayne Culver officially turned off his microphone at the end of the recent GallatinAlbany game. Culver, a 1968 GHS grad and former Bulldog football player, followed in the footsteps of Van Harlow and Lee Graham in the Gallatin press box. Six members of Gallatin’s 8-2 Bulldog football squad have been named to the 2007 All-GRC honor squad by league coaches. Honored are Andy Ward, first team quarterback and defensive back; Stephen Wood, first team running back; Corey Lee, first team linebacker and offensive guard; Jon Brown, second team offensive tackle; Kevin Chadwick, second team wide receiver, defensive back and honorable mention punter; and Jacob Gienapp, second team defensive end. Nov. 5, 1997 The Grand River Bridge on Route 69 south of Pattonsburg will soon be replaced in order to meet the new standards of the Missouri Department of Transportation. The new bridge will be a little wider and will have concrete beams as opposed to structural steel. It will be very similar to the recently built bridge north of Pattonsburg on Hwy. 69. Dane Worrell, senior, and Kristen Ellis, junior, were elected Barnwarming King and Queen at the Gallatin FFA/FHA event held at Mike and Vickie Henderson’s farm north of Gallatin. James Wilson, EMIT for Daviess County Ambulance, received his first emergency medical technician license on April 17, 1976. He will hang up that license on Nov. 15, 1997, after 22 years touching the lives of many. Nov. 4, 1987 Frank Frazier, VFW Post 2172, spearheaded work Monday to relocate the flag pole at the old high school building to Lyle Cemetery next to the First Baptist Church in Gallatin’s west side. The pole is donated by Al Smith, owner of the Century House located in the old high school building. Michelle Pittsenbarger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Pittensbarger of Gallatin, is a member of the 1987 Marching Mules at Central Missouri State University. She is a junior music major and a 1985 graduate of Gallatin High School. The rivalry between Gallatin and Hamilton got deeper Friday night. For over three quarters of football, the Hamilton Hornets were running scared, trailing Gallatin 7-6. Then Hamilton ran over Gallatin in the final four minutes to post a 27-7 victory and at least a tie for the GRC championship and Class 2A playoff spot. Nov. 9, 1977 A second apartment building constructed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thompson opened to tenants a week ago and is rapidly filling. The new building contains 16 modern apartments and all are expected to be filled in a short time.

The first annual Gallatin Invitational Basketball Tournament will get underway Monday night with four games on tap. The double elimination tournament will run through Saturday, excluding Wednesday, night and will feature several Daviess County teams. Nov. 9, 1967 A movement is underway in the Gallatin community to organize a Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees). The Jaycees would be limited to persons between the ages of 21 and 36. The senior class of Gallatin High School will present their play tomorrow night and Saturday night in the school auditorium. “Rebel without A Cause,” an exciting, tragically human story of the emotional problems suffered by all ages. The leads are Jim Harlow, as Jim Stark, and Rita Knight, who plays Judy Brown.

Nov. 7, 1957 O. E. Harlow, farmer living 6 ½ miles southwest of Gallatin, read last week about metal shavings being dropped from the air to test radar stations, and brought in a handful he picked up near his barn recently. The material appears to be much like tinsel used at Christmas time. Eddie Elbert, Gallatin fire chief, was elected vice-chairman of the North Central Missouri Firefighters Association in Trenton when firemen from North Central Missouri met there for the purpose of organizing. Extra high birth rates in the 1940s and 1950s will produce a population bulge in the 60s and 70s of young men and women marrying or ready to marry, according to a special report by the Kiplinger organization.

Nov. 6, 1947 The teachers of the Gallatin schools will be honored Tuesday night, Nov. 18, at a membership dinner of the Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Elbert dining room. The location of the Nov. 23 turkey shoot was determined this week by the Frank Frazier VFW Post 2172, according to Russell Welker. The shoot will be held at the junction of highways 6 and 69, west of Altamont.

Boil advisory A precautionary boil advisory has been issued for all of the Public Water Supply District #1 of Daviess County customers that are in the City of Winston and west on Hwy. 69 to, and including, the Winston Truck Stop. The advisory also includes customers southeast of the City of Winston on Highway BB and Highway J, including Unity and Titan. This boil advisory will be in place until further notice. The PWSD #1 of Daviess County will be working on repairs on Wednesday, Nov. 8, starting at 8 a.m. and expected to continue until 5 p.m., at least. The customers named above may have no water or low water pressure during this time. After water service is restored, the above listed area will be under a precautionary boil advisory until further notice.
elevations above the Rocky Mountains and Washington, D.C.) work from various regional airports across the nation. This means EagleView photographs are taken at altitudes of 5,000 feet (sometimes as low as 2,500 feet) compared to 9,000 feet levels common to Google. “Google’s street view does give you the sense of 3D but is limited to whatever can be viewed from the street,” Ballard says. “There are problems, then, in getting accurate measurements and, of course, in seeing behind and around what you can’t readily see.” Ballard also noted that EagleView mapping is performed only during those times when trees are without leaves. Once a service agreement is signed, delivery of the imagery is within 60 days of the date specified. This compares to months it sometimes takes for competitors to deliver, according to Mr. Ballard. One obvious application for accurate digital mapping is for tax assessment. Not only are measurements within six inches of accuracy, but mapping scheduled at regular intervals reduces the expense of field work while improving chances for updating records as property changes occur. And the advantage is not just about taxes. Ballard said that when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, Texas, there were over 20 EagleView airplanes available to help FEMA, Homeland Security, and other emergency response
authorities to assess damages. That makes for better decisions and quicker response to those in need should a tornado or some other disaster occur, even here. “We don’t dispatch our airplanes to every storm,” Ballard said. “For tornadoes, we fly for free after storms rated EF4 or higher. We’ll also come if you request imagery to describe damages from tornadoes of lower ratings, charging you only at our cost.” Likewise, free imagery usually within 24 hours of a natural disaster is offered following earthquakes 6.0 or higher on the Richter scale. However, fresh imagery following fire or flood disasters is currently excluded unless charges are applied. Every pixel in EagleView imagery is geo-referenced, thus giving latitude/longitude accuracy usually requested in law enforcement and emergency response circumstances. Ballard says the Lifeflight helicopter service, for instance, always requests “lat-long” to determine landing locations in remote areas. The EagleView service includes a phone app. The computer software can be layered so that designations and notes can be applied and stored, especially useful when describing utility lines. The data can be uploaded and displayed while merging
Property measurements reports from EagleView feature detailed 3D diagrams. Reports calculate roof length, pitch, and additional features on residential and commercial properties and include a summary page with waste calculations for remarkably accurate mapping. Pictometry International Corp. was established in 2000 at Rochester, NY. Today the company employs over 350 people. Over the years, EagleView has produced more than 350 million images and covered more than 90% of the most populated areas in the United States. Altogether, more than 1,440 cities, counties, and municipalities rely on Pictometry imagery in their local government offices, and EagleView’s aerial property measurement reports and data have assisted countless roofing contractors and insurance companies in their everyday workflows. with various other mapping software or exported for use in locations where internet access is problematic. Security can be applied at various levels, meaning several different local entities can use the service simultaneously without jeopardizing or negatively impacting another’s use. Mr. Ballard said that the imagery for Daviess County could even be made available to the public. Mr. Ballard fielded questions about the service at the conclusion of his presentation. The expense is based on the number of square miles covered; a perparcel fee also applies. Ballard suggested how annual costs might be split between five local entities (assessor, sheriff, 911, LEPC/EMA, City of Gallatin) to demonstrate how each expense
assignments might coincide with anticipated use. Most of Daviess County could be photographed at the nine-inch per pixel resolution; the fourinch per pixel resolution might be applied to Gallatin, Lake Viking, Jamesport and Pattonsburg. Such decisions have yet to be made which impact the actual costs involved should a service agreement to purchase EagleView mapping be pursued. Attending the presentation were City Administrator Tony Stonecypher and Director of Utilities Mark Morey from the City of Gallatin; Emergency Director David Roll; Assessor Sally Black and Diane McLey; Deputy Sheriff Robert Mazur, and editor Darryl Wilkinson from the North Missourian.

County hunters check 38 turkeys Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that hunters checked 2,899 turkeys during Missouri’s fall firearms turkey season, Oct. 1-31. Daviess County checked five adult gobblers; 10 adult hens; seven juvenile gobblers and 16 juvenile hens for a total of 38 turkeys. Top harvest counties across the state were Greene with 100, Texas with 95, and Dent with 94. Last year’s fall firearms turkey harvest total was 3,698. MDC’s turkey biologist says this year’s low fall firearms turkey harvest total can be attributed to several factors, including a poor turkey hatch, a decline in hunter participation, and aboveaverage acorn production. “As was the case last year, this year’s turkey hatch was exceptionally poor, so there were far fewer young birds for hunters to pursue this fall,” said MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle. Isabelle noted that participation in the fall firearms turkey season has been declining in Missouri, as it has in a number of states. “This year’s fall firearms turkey permit sales total of 10,243 was the lowest on record since the season started in 1978,” Isabelle said. “During our peak year in 1987, nearly 53,000 permits were purchased.” Another factor that impacted this year’s fall turkey harvest was the good acorn crop. When acorns are abundant, turkeys don’t have to range far to locate food, and spend less time in open fields where they’re more visible to hunters.
USDA ag census to arrive in mail sometime in December
Fordyce director Farm Service Agency The Trump Administration recently appointed Richard Fordyce as the new State Executive Director (SED) for the USDA Missouri Farm Service Agency (FSA). Fordyce will join the Missouri FSA team on Monday, Nov. 13. Fordyce was the Missouri Director of Agriculture from 2013 to 2017. He recently finished an 11-year term on the United Soybean Board and has served as chair of Missouri’s Soil & Water Districts Commission from 2005 to 2013. In 1995, Fordyce served as Young Farmers Chairman for the American Farm Bureau. He and his wife, Renee, operate a row crop and commercial cattle operation in Bethany, Missouri.
Farmers should soon be receiving the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2017 Census of Agriculture. The census should arrive in farmers’ mailboxes in December. It can be returned by mail or securely submitted online. Federal, state and local governments as well as agribusinesses, researchers, trade associations and others use the data to serve farmers and rural communities. USDA conducts the survey every five years. It is the only source of uniform, comprehensive and impartial data for every county in the U.S. “Even in you are no longer farming, please return the census form,” says Robert Garino, Missouri state statistician for USDA in Columbia. Otherwise, USDA continues to follow up with mailed questionnaires, phone calls or visits from a USDA enumerator. Milhollin says information from the Census of Agriculture shapes programs, including MU Extension programs, that benefit many farm groups. It gives a picture of the economic impact of agriculture in the country.
Snow Removal Bids Access II in Gallatin is accepting bids for snow removal for the 2017-2018 seasons. Bids must be submitted by noon on November 17, 2017 to 101 Industrial Pkwy, Gallatin, MO 64640. The successful bidder must have general liability insurance. Questions may be directed to Amber Wells at 660-663-2423. Access II is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Data strengthens numerous farm groups and helps policymakers see emerging trends such as young and beginning farmers and ranchers; women, veteran and minority farmers and ranchers; specialty crops; and organic production. This
helps legislators make decisions that protect the future of agriculture, he says. Find the survey online at agcensus.usda.gov. For more information, call 888-424-7828 (toll free) or contact Garino at 573876-0950.
