Scam affects 20-25 local votes In the recent general election, every county in Missouri was affected by voters who signed up on bogus voter registration sites.

In Daviess County, approximately 20-25 voters were either turned away or had to cast a provisional ballot, because they had registered to vote through a bogus website. The provisional ballots were reviewed by Daviess County Clerk Ronetta Burton, but the votes could not be counted. The voter information had not been transmitted to the county in which they were to cast their votes; thus they were not actually registered.

Three of the worst websites were Vote411, TurboVote, and Ballot Ready, but there are more

websites which could be listed.

Many of these sites are set up to capture personal information.

If you used an online voter registration website, be aware that the website captured some of your vital personal information.

The only legitimate website for voter registration is the Missouri Secretary of State election page, according to Clerk Ronetta Burton. Registration information for voters who sign up on the Secretary of State’s website is automatically sent to the appropriate county the next day.

Ms. Burton said that she and other county clerks only became aware of the problem on Election Day, when it was too late for any solution to be implemented.

Bright Futures and the Gallatin FBLA Chapter are teaming up to facilitate Christmas adoptions for needy school children.

FBLA students will be available in the Times and Seasons building from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17, during Christmas on the Square. The students will provide basic demographic information on the student to be adopted, along with the student’s small wish list.

A “Bundles of Love” backpack will be provided to fill with various items. These Bundles of Love Backpacks should be brought to the Searcy Elementary building in Gallatin by Friday, Dec. 14. Parents will pick up the backpacks between Dec. 19-21.

Through the Bundles of Love project, FBLA students will also collect monetary donations during Christmas on the Square.

The money will be used to buy food baskets for a Christmas dinner.

Dungy’s Supermarket has agreed to prepare the food baskets for the students’ families based on family size. FBLA students will help Dungy’s assemble and decorate the bundles.

This year there are around 60 students in the Backpack Buddies program. Following Christmas Around the Square, students may still need “adopting.”

A Christmas tree will be decorated with numbered ornaments to allow the community to adopt these children for the holidays.

Each ornament will correspond to a child in the Backpack Buddies program. The tree will be located in the Daviess County Courthouse near the extension office.

The Gallatin National Honor Society will again set up the “Tree of Warmth” this month in

the high school commons to collect donations of hats, gloves, and scarves. All items will be donated to Bright Futures to benefit those in need of items of warmth this winter season. Donations will be collected from Nov. 26 to Dec. 19.

NHS will also hold a “Jammie Jingle” drive to collect pajamas for Children’s Mercy patients this holiday season. This service project was done in hopes that those spending their Christmas in the hospital could enjoy new Christmas Eve pajamas.

The Jammie Jingle Pajama Drive will be done a little differently this year. During the Tuesday, Dec. 11, junior varsity/ varsity basketball game against Putnam County, the gate entry

In an effort to make this holiday season a little brighter for children aged newborn to 11 years, the Gallatin Police will once again facilitate the Toys for Tots program for Gallatin and Daviess County.

Chief Mark Richards has delivered collection barrels in Gallatin to Shopko and Dollar General, and a donation jar to Casey’s.

Anyone wishing to make a donation can drop off new, unwrapped ( co

Bright Futures USA, a community-based collective action group which works to fill the needs of area children, has partnered with Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri to meet potential unmet needs for children in the Gallatin school district. The belief that each community has the ability to help every one of its children thrive is a core value of Bright Futures USA. Bright Futures Gallatin has three goals: 1) Meet the child’s basic needs within 24 hours, whether that need be lunch money or gym shoes; 2) Pull together a network of existing resources -- individuals, businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent groups; 3) Create an emergency fund for students and families.

The Bright Futures Advisory Board decided to take on the Christmas project last year since no outside agencies were doing a formal program in the community for the past few years and various “angel tree” projects had also stopped.

Two steps back...

E d i t or’ s not e: F o r t h e p a st f e w w e e ks co l u m n i st K e n B r a d b u r y h a s sh a r e d his thoughts in his fight against cancer. Ken aka Freida Marie Crump defied the odds to become a cancer survivor a year ago. He is sharing his ourney on a website called Caring Bridge where you can get updates: www.caringbridge.org visit.kenbradbury. wo of his entries are reprinted below, dated a month apart, one as he prepared for new surgery and then, sadly, most recently.

Caring Bridge Journal entry, Oct. 18:

A touch from God

What measure for the kilogram?

Metric measure meant nothing to me until I approached my first driver’s license.

My summers putting up hay for spending money took a serious turn when I discovered an old 1960 MGA Roadster in the barn where hay bales were supposed to go. It was love at first sight, and I was utterly amazed when the farmer quoted a selling price within my grasp.

Not so for my wrenches, however. English cars are metric.

Suddenly metric meant something much more than guessing answers on a math exam.

Eventually, I purchased a small ratchet set in metric measure and a few other wrenches which served me well during the many years I drove that old roadster. And, no, I never really learned the metric system beyond that practical yet limited application.

Most folks I know resist using metric. We tend to muddle through with what we’re used to ... even when that doesn’t make any sense. Take an inch in this conversation, before going the mile. Blame the English for giving their colonies the inch, but understand, the measure actually originates from the Romans.

It generally is understood as a measure of the human thumb.

So, no surprise, the exact length of an inch has varied “widely” in the past.

We also use pounds while others use kilograms and, in my opinion, for good reason. One of my all-time favorite ballads would be at risk. In your best Tennessee Ernie Ford voice, just trying singing “16 Tons and What Do You Get ... “ converting

it to: “14,514.95584 kilograms and What Do You Get...”

See what I mean? Not to mention how a “Quarter Pounder with cheese” would be converted to “0.1133980925 kilograms with cheese” ...oh, please!

All this came to mind with this week’s news to abandon the weight measurement “Le Grand K.” Forged in 1879 and held in a locked vault outside Paris, France, this mass of a little over two pounds of platinum-ridium is the official definition of the kilogram for the entire world. And things may change.

Apparently in the name of progress, the world’s system of mass measure will no longer be based on some special hunk of metal going forward. The precise measure is to be based on some unalterable features of the universe — the speed of light, time, and something called Planck’s constant (if you must know, it is a physical constant that is the quantum of action, central in quantum mechanics: 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s ...are you sorry you asked?)

Experts wrapped up in measurement standards are ecstatic, claiming the pending change is the biggest in nearly 130 years!

It’s hard to sneak into our church, at least if you park in the back. It may be difficult to explain without a map but if you enter our fellowship hall from the back parking lot then you end up in the sanctuary right between the pulpit and the piano ...or, as my mom used to say, “...right in front of God and everybody.”

But that doesn’t bother Maxine.

Maxine is one of the true matriarchs of our church -- short in stature but tall in our esteem. After decades of helping our congregation make its way through bazaars, holidays, conferences, funerals, weddings, and strange ministers Maxine has earned the right to walk into church any darned time she pleases. We’re just glad to have her. But in my book, out of all Maxine’s wonderful gifts of love, it’s her touch that sets her apart.

Church starts at 9:45 a.m. and I begin the prelude. At 9:50 the front door to the sanctuary opens and Maxine comes bustling through after planting a load of fresh fruit on the back room counter.

But... and here’s where the holy magic happens... as she hurries by me she smiles and puts a hand on my shoulder. That’s all. And that’s all it takes to put me in the right frame of mind to worship ...just Maxine’s hand on my shoulder.

It is no exaggeration, no fantasizing overstatement to say that God puts His hand on me every time we begin a service that way.

This is no Harry Potter hokey-pokey, this is real. Truth be known, when I look out at the congregation and see Maxine in her usual seat before the service begins I’m sort of disappointed that she’s on time.

So many times in the past year it has been the small acts of God that have made the largest impression. My sister in law Nancy blew me away on a regular basis with her HUGE acts of God as I went through last year’s chemo and radiation, but it was her little acts... like decorating my house with containers of Purell that come most readily to mind. Every week or so a little hand-painted rock would appear on my front porch with a single word ...Hope, Love, or Faith.

My newspaper delivery guy has somehow figured out that I leave the house on Wednesdays at 6 a.m. in order to attend our men’s prayer group. Now, the paper comes before six on one day of the week: Wednesday.

I was eating dinner at Mulligan’s one of Jacksonville’s little nook restaurants. When I went to pay the waiter said, “The chef paid for your meal.”

So... thank God for the biggies -- Red Seas parted, Goliaths slain, worlds created and pharaohs plagued by locusts. But while I’m waiting for my biggie I’ll cherish those little acts of God. I cherish Maxine’s hand on my shoulder.

citement, well, that’s OK. Mass measurement in the USA has always been second fiddle to somebody else. I read where the United States only got duplicates of the Le Grand K after signing the Treaty of the Meter in 1875.

So, our official national standard kilograms — kept under oldfashioned, glass bell jars — have never been uniquely ours.

This is not to say what we’ve got is insignificant. Official kilogram measures are precious, affecting most all sectors of U.S. industry. That certainly includes scales used in stores and pharmaceutical companies, by airplane manufacturers — anything requiring precise scientific instruments. Precise measurement matters.

So, why the change?

By precise, we’re talking about atoms that the Le Grand Caring Bridge Journal entry, Nov. 8: K absorbs from the air. If it gets Okay, let’s try this again lighter or heavier, the definition I’m home. I suppose that in itself is the news most worth note and of the kilogram literally changes I agree. The purpose of the surgery was to insert a rod through my ... by counting atoms!

Scientists have always femur and attach it somewhere to keep the bone from breaking by complained about the world’s the onset of cancer. Then we dive into radiation and chemotherapy, hodgepodge of measure. Histo- so I guess you would call this Round One. Can I be honest? I’m tired. Just tired of it. I hope that we can rians have estimated that, within France alone, there were 250,000 knock this thing out of the ring in two or three.

I’m on a walker (a must) and I can eat what I please. I take an undifferent units of measurement in use during 18th Century — the holy amount drugs during a day’s time, and I’m basically living out the effects of surgery. I can only walk a bit without getting winded so-called Age of Reason!

Thanks to brother Keith for posting the occasional report while sure on the globe itself, with the meter described as one ten- also doing the same for his wife, Nancy. Who knew a banker could millionth of the distance from write?

As was the case pre-surgery, I’m being waiting upon like a the North Pole to the equator.

Later, as physics advanced, the spoiled Mideast Sultan. Since I can’t bend over, the region below my meter was defined in terms of knees now belongs to others. Next week I’ll visit my oncologist and the distance that light can travel perhaps draw up plans for radiation. He said he’d give me a week to through a vacuum in about one heal then see where to go next. With this sort of definite, determined planning how could I possibly lose?

his pain medicine had dissipated, but when he stepped out of bed he screwed up royally by moving his left leg laterally, pretty much destroying any healing from the previous day’s progress.’’

Sometimes a single incident can stand symbol of a much larger experience and that’s happened yesterday morn.

Sometimes I wonder. If I’m taking two steps backward for every one forward, shouldn’t I soon be bumping into brick wall?

That’s it in short. Not much progress that I can see but today a visiting nurse said that it was too big a surgery to heal quickly.

I would love to go painless a day before I forget the feeling.

Among the other discouragements and flatulations, I’ve been painfully reminded the cancer hurts. Sometimes it will go days at a gentle grumble and some days will scream. Lately it’s been a real scream.

Share the Harvest venison available at Seventh-day Community Center Those wanting to receive protein-rich venison through the Share the Harvest program should visit the local food pantry at the Seventh-day Adventist Community Center in Gallatin.

Deer meat will be available at the center and is free to any Daviess County resident who qualifies for it for as long as the supply lasts.

The Food Bank will distribute turkeys to any qualifying family who is registered with the food bank and lives in Daviess County.

Turkey breasts are available for small households who qualify.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church and Community Service Center is located at 1206 South Willow. Hours for the Service Center and Thrift Shop are every Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m; phone is 663-2478.

Deer hunters in the area can donate venison to the needy through the Share the Harvest program, administered by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conservation Federation of Missouri. This

statewide program allows hunters with extra venison to provide healthy food to be distributed by a local charitable agency.

To donate, hunters must take their deer to an approved meat processor. They may donate all or part of the venison from a deer.

The processor will package the meat and provide it to the charitable agency. Some local funds may be available to pay or reduce processing costs, although those costs are the hunter’s responsibility when local funds are not available.

A complete list of all approved Share the Harvest processors in all counties is available in MDC’s 2018 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet, available at MDC offices and nature centers.

toys to any of the drop off boxes or make a monetary donation to the jar.

Anyone wanting to request an item can pick up a wish list from the Adventist Community Service Center (only open on Wednesday) or from Gallatin City Hall. Watch for more information on the Gallatin Police social media site.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity which was created at the behest of the U.S. Marine Corps in 1991.

Chief Richards is designated as the Toys for Tots Coordinator for the community.

“The Gallatin Police have been organizing the Toys for Tots program for the past 10 years,” Chief Richards says. “All donations stay local and the program is coordinated locally.”

Toys donated in Gallatin arestored in a donated storage unit, where the toys are sorted by age and gender. At Christmas, coordinators, with the assistance of

n tin u e d fr o m

p a g e 1 )

local community agencies and churches, distribute the toys to the less fortunate children of Daviess County only.

The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Area businesses wishing to become a dropoff point or anyone wishing to make a monetary donation to support the program can contact the Gallatin Police Department at 660-663-3580.

Two steps back Not sure we ever had the one step forward this time but we just had the two steps back.

Ken had an appointment with the doctor to begin radiation treatments today. The good doctor (and he is indeed one of the good ones) said he needs to go to ER first where they determined Ken has pneumonia and must be admitted. So that is where we are (and have been since 11:30 a.m.) Still waiting to be admitted.

It is now 3:45 p.m. We don’t know if this is an extended stay or just a quick one. We do know this: He is not well enough to go home and I don’t plan to let them boot him so quickly this time. And if they give me any crap, I will tell Nancy. Then they will be sorry.

Caring Bridge Journal entry

by Keith Bradbury 10:50 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13 After 9.5 hours in ER waiting for a regular room, Ken was in it for 30 minutes (not faulting the hospital here -- if there is no room available, there is no room available). As soon as he got to the regular room, lights started flashing, beepers beeping and suddenly there were 14 people in his room (I counted them), all working very fast. Within minute he was transferred to ICU. Lots of hoses. Lots of pumps. Lots of noise and scurrying. It was not a good situation.

It was a rough night. Against my wishes Nancy slept in a recliner in his room. I slept in the waiting room where several other families were camped (including a gas passer, a snorer with a CPAP and a guy who had a ring tone for messages that was Harry Carey’s voice saying “Holy Cow”).

Morning dawns a new day.

Ken is better. Still on oxygen and a dozen other pumps of some sort including four antibiotics.

Infection will be treated first, then pneumonia, then cancer.

So, we are still several day off from radiation and oncologist says chemo may be put off a couple of months.

Nancy has been verbally scolded by me and a nurse practitioner and sent home to rest away from germs. Ken is in a good place, being cared for by good people.

More when I know it.

All military recognized at GHS Veterans Day program Dear Veterans: You have served our country.

Kept us safe. We thank you for that. I don’t care if you are in the Marine Corps, in the Army, in the Navy, in the Air Force, or a Coast Guard. We just thank you.

Signed, Michael Hendricks That simple note of appreciation pretty much summed up everyone’s feelings during a Veterans Day program held on Friday, Nov. 9, in the Gallatin High School gym. Michael Hendricks and other Searcy elementary students presented letters expressing their gratitude to the service men and women during the assembly, and fifth graders sent cards to the Veterans Home at Cameron.

The program recognized veterans and service members from Gallatin and across the area. Veterans Day is officially recognized

on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Sunday, Nov. 11.

Guest speaker at the assembly was Sergeant Zach Douglas.

Zach’s wife Taryn is a coach and physical education teacher at GHS. Sgt. Douglas reminded students of the crucial role played the Missouri Army National Guard and some of its more famous members, including Charles Lindbergh and Harry Truman.

Other speakers were Tayton Terry, Addison Burns, Karley Salmon, Zoe Bradford, Graydee Rains, Zoe Bradford, Markay August, and Jacob Wilson.

The Gallatin High School Choir sang the national anthem

and a Salute to the Military Branches. Gallatin High School Band played American Spirit March and the Middle School Band played American Fantasy.

Haven Gibson and Silas Giles performed the Posting of the Colors.

After the assembly, middle and high school students formed a reception line for their honored guests. At the close of the ceremony, all veterans and active military in attendance were invited to attend a reception in the library hosted by the Gallatin Daughters of the American Revolution.

Amy Holder was recognized for organizing the event.

Panthers ‘co-op’erate in historic 82-28 quarterfinal victory Temperatures in the teens couldn’t do it. A cold, scalding north wind couldn’t do it. Neither could the Southwest Livingston Wildcats.

The Pattonsburg/Gilman City/North Harrison Panthers demolished Southwest last Friday night in the biting cold, 8228, to bring home the school’s first ever district championship and state quarterfinal win. The Panthers, now 10-1, travel to Grant City on Saturday to face the Worth County/Northeast Nodaway Tigers in a rematch of an Oct. 5 game, won by Pattonsburg, 62-42. The winner will travel to the University of Missouri-Columbia’s Faurot Field on Saturday, Nov. 24, to face the winner of Mound City vs. Orrick.

Class 2, District 16 hoops to feature four new schools

The Missouri State High School Activities Association recently released re-classification and re-districting information for high school basketball.

Local basketball followers can argue that the district just got a lot tougher.

Gallatin remains in Class 2, District 16, with four new schools in the mix. Out this season are Plattsburg, Polo, Princeton and Stanberry. New members of District 16 are St. Joseph LeBlond, East Buchanan, Hamilton and St. Joseph Christian.

Maysville, Mid-Buchanan and Tarkio also return as members of D16.

Mid-Buchanan’s girls finished second in the state last season in Class 2. The Dragon boys were state quarterfinalists.

Even though not all Panther players see each other in the halls and classrooms on a daily basis, they have developed a bond that transcends school allegiances. Quarterback Steven Willhite added to his recordsetting resume, but the North Harrison junior had plenty of playmakers helping to boost his totals. The on and off field connections he has formed with his receivers was in evidence Friday night.

Willhite, who boosted his 8-man state record to 70 TD passes (plus 12 rushing TDs for an all-classes state record), threw for a season-high 474 yards and sent receivers to the end zone nine times in the Panther district championship win.

Pattonsburg sophomore Cameron Jones was on the receiving end of five touchdown passes and finished with 207 yards in receptions. North Harrison sophomore Brett Emig caught six passes for 105 yards and three TDs. Pattonsburg senior Trevor Ireland also hauled in a second quarter TD pass.

Southwest jumped out to a 6-0 lead on a 3-yard run by quarterback Mack Anderson, but Pattonsburg answered with a Willhite to Emig TD connection and Willhite 2-point conversion. Willhite ran in for a score late in the first period and Ireland caught a 2-point conversion pass, but the Wildcats closed the gap to 16-14 on an Anderson-to-Wyatt Maddux touchdown pass and 2-point conversion.

Pattonsburg nursed a 24-14 lead at the end of the first quarter but it was second quarter defensive play by the Panthers that broke the game open. The Panthers successfully recov-

ered two on-side kickoffs and junior Patrick Cowley intercepted an Anderson pass and returned it for a touchdown that gave his team a 62-28 lead at the break.

The Panthers, operating under a running clock, added three more scores in the second half.

Defensively, junior Carter Crone led the Panthers with three solo tackles and seven assists. Senior Gavin Garnett registered a quarterback sack.

Junior Dakota Eaton picked off two Southwest passes. Jones also had a pick.

Worth County, the defending state champion, made it to the semifinal round by upsetting top district seed Stanberry, 32-20.

The Tigers bring a balanced offense into Saturday’s semifinal, led by senior Caleb Parman, who has rushed for 1,574 yards and 27 touchdowns. Sophomore Andrew Alarcon has gained 676 yards on the ground with 13 scores.

The Tigers have scored 13 times through the air. Senior Jacob New has thrown for 557 yards and 8 TDs. The top Tiger receiver is senior Bryant McCord (350 receptions, 6 TDs) but two other Tigers have also caught scoring passes.

Pattonsburg outgained Worth County, 487 to 353, in their earlier meeting. Willhite had a hand in all PHS touchdowns, throwing for five and rushing for four more.

... Because You Have the Right to Know

Discover nature through Eagle Days From December through February, Missouri’s winter eagle watching is spectacular.

Discover nature with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) through Eagle Days events around the state.

Because of the state’s big rivers, many lakes, and abundant wetlands, Missouri is one of the leading lower 48 states for bald eagle viewing. Each fall, thousands of these great birds migrate south from their nesting range in Canada and the Great Lakes states to hunt in the Show-Me State. Eagles take up residence wherever they find open water and plentiful food. More than 2,000 bald eagles are typically reported in Missouri during winter. Eagle Days events include live captive-eagle programs, exhibits, activities, videos, and guides with spotting scopes.

Deer Camp: A 21-year tradition of brothers, friends

by Vera Nelson

Growing up in small Northwest Missouri towns, you come to enjoy that fact that even after you graduate, you still keep those bonds of friendship. Deer Camp for these men has meant camping in some cold barns, tents and even on the ground. That still has not deterred them from their annual Deer Camp, which they have all come to look forward to in November.

This year marked 21 years since the beginning of Deer Camp. Members have been added over the years, including a school principal who retired and decided to get in the mix.

The distance doesn’t seem to matter. One member comes from Wichita, KS, each year and stays the whole week, just to hunt and hang around the “younger” fellows. He might be a few years older than they are, but he’s nev-

er behind a step when it comes to walking into the timber before light.

And then there’s the “coffee man” who gets something hot in everyone’s thermos before dawn.

Now the younger ones that have been born into this tradition have come to anticipate this time even as much as their fathers and uncles.

Not many men in their twenties who live in Colorado and who have the opportunity to take on the Rockies would pick a week’s vacation in Northwest Missouri over that, but it does happen — when you’ve been raised in Deer Camp.

Let’s give credit to the broth-

ers and friends that got this tradition started back in the late 1990s. It was a time to get together, share some stories and homemade grub, and also to know that it might be another year before it starts all over again.

The starting line has grown, not to mention the friends that now stop by Deer Camp, which has moved to a heated garage.

It’s a known fact that the driveway is full on Ogden Street, when everyone stops by to swap a story and snack.

One thing about it, no matter who got the deer from year to year, the companionship they all feel for others makes them deer hunting “brothers,” related by blood or not!

Humane Society rescues sixteen starving horses in Harrison County Four very recently deceased and seven other dead horses also found on the property Shown from left to right: Sgt. Robert Mazur, Daviess County Sheriff’s Office; James Ruse, Daviess County Presiding Commissioner; Jared Hogan, Daviess County Deputy; Wayne Uthe, Daviess County Commissioner; Adam Albert, Pattonsburg Fire Protection District Chief; Ralph DeJong, American Red Cross; Karen Shepard, Pattonsburg Fire Protection District Deputy Chief; Cheryl Alexander, Daviess County Health Department; Vern Covert, KAW Fire Protection Chief; Alan Fender, Jamesport Fire and Rescue; David J. Roll, Emergency Management Director.

Hazmat IQ kits placed with KAW and Pattonsburg fire protection districts The Daviess County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) recently purchased two Hazmat IQ Kits and placed one with the Kidder-AltamontWinston (KAW) Fire Protection District and one with the Pattonsburg Fire Protection District. The two kits together cost $4,994.38.

KAW and Pattonsburg were chosen after a flow study conducted in 2016 indicated Interstate 35 as the area’s highest risk for a potential hazardous material incident.

Members from several districts in Daviess County attended and completed a Hazmat IQ

course. The course was made available and paid for by the Missouri Emergency Response Commission using Tier II funds.

The course provided a series of easy-to-understand job aids called smart charts. The charts enable responders to handle an incident, based primarily on chemical names and associated chemical properties.

After the course was completed, the Daviess County LEPC voted to purchase the two Hazmat IQ Kits.

The standard SAFe Kit includes: pH 1-14 Test Paper Roll; Fluoride Test Paper 200 Strips Potassium Iodide Starch Pa-

per 200 Strips; RAE Systems DoseRAE Pro PRM-1300; Four Gas Calibration Mix, 34L; Constant Flow Regulator with Tubing; RAE Systems QRAE 3 Diffusion LEL/H2S/CO/O2 Li-ion, Non-Wireless; SKB Case 18x13x7 with custom foam and in-case charging; Fluke 568 IR Thermometer; HazmatIQ Charts.

The SAFe kit can be customized to fit the mission.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by a representative of each fire protection district, the Daviess County LEPC Chairman, and Daviess County Presiding Commissioner on Nov. 7.

On Nov. 8, 2018, the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force rescued 16 severely malnourished horses from a 16-acre property in northwestern Harrison County in northern Missouri. The horses range in age from foals to 12 years old. The horses were in paddocks and pastures barren of all vegetation and have had no onsite veterinary care.

Contacted by the Harrison County Sheriff ’s Office, an HSMO animal cruelty investigator visited the property and found 11 deceased horses in various stages of decay and 16 others in serious jeopardy of starvation.

Live horses were found in the same enclosures as dead ones. The owner admitted she could no longer properly care for so many horses. She agreed to voluntarily surrender the 16 horses in the worst condition to the Humane Society of Missouri. The owner also has agreed to secure food and proper veterinary care within the next week for three additional horses remaining on the property.

The rescued horses are being transported to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch in Union, MO, for what will be a lengthy rehabilitation before they can be made available for adoption.
