She also issued 94 unauthorized payroll checks to herself, totaling approximately $25,000. Similar charges were ﬁled against Browning in 2012 in Daviess County, due to offenses at two different land title companies where she had been employed. At that time she pled guilty to felony charges of stealing and forgery and received a suspended imposition of sentence. She served ﬁve years probation, paid restitution and served shock jail time on each count. Browning is set to appear for sentencing on Feb. 10, 2021.

Former Coffey clerk pleads guilty for stealing A former Coffey city clerk, Mary Lou Browning, 40, pled guilty to two counts of stealing and two counts of forgery in Daviess County Circuit Court before Judge Ryan Horsman on Nov. 9. A sentence assessment report was ordered. The case had been set for jury trial before Judge Horsman on Nov. 18. Browning was charged in August 2018 after a state audit revealed more than $60,000 missing from the City of Coffey. Browning was the city clerk at Coffey from September 2015 to August 2017 and solely responsible for the ﬁnancial accounting functions and records of the city. Browning provided fraudulent city minutes to hide the missing funds and forged signatures of city council members. She presented the city’s bank accounts with higher balances than the accounts actually contained in order to deceive the council.

COVID forces North Daviess HS to go virtual

North Daviess R-3 at Jameson has received ofﬁcial word that a couple of its high school students have tested positive for COVID-19. In working through the close contact-tracing with the Daviess County Health Department, the school has determined that it is best to utilize its AMI-X plan for grades 7- 12 from Nov. 9 through Nov. 17. The school will return to faceto-face (in-class) instruction on Nov. 18. Elementary (grades preschool through sixth) will remain face-to-face as usual during that time. “We appreciate your understanding as we navigate through these difﬁcult times,” noted R-3 Superintendent Daniel Street, in a letter to the community posted

on social media. Close to normal bus route times continued for the elementary school students, however, adjustments to bus routes may be made in the days to come. Grades 7-12 will be expected

to log into their google classrooms at their regular class time. They will work virtually during the period. Teachers will be in the google classroom during the period, although not always by video. Students not logged on for a class will be considered absent.

1st period 8:03; 2nd period 8:54; 3rd period - 9:45; 4th period - 10:36; 5th period A (grades 1012) 11:27; 5th period B (grades 7-9) - 11 :47; 6th period - 12:38; 7th period - 1 :29; 8th period - 2:20. Lunches will be offered for pick-up by virtual families. Lunch count will be done during ﬁrst (1st) virtual period. Students in quarantine that need a meal and do not have a family member to pick up meals for them, will need to contact the ofﬁce to make pick-up/drop off arrangements since quarantined students are not allowed in the school. All extra-curricular activities (basketball. FFA, FBLA, etc.) will be suspended during the AMI-X period as well.

COVID worries prompt Senior Center to close until Nov. 16

The Active Aging Resource Center, located at 109 South Main Street in Gallatin, has been closed as a precautionary measure due to COVID. According to Administrator Deanna Lewis, no staff at the center have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. However, a couple of people visiting the center early last week tested positive for the virus later in the week. Therefore, the center is closing as a precaution.

The center has suspended dine-in and grab and go meals until Nov. 16. Meals on Wheels were provided to clients on Fri., Nov. 6, for all of the following week. The center plans to resume Meals on Wheels on Nov. 16 and the Board of Directors will make a decision about the dine-in and grab and go meals before Nov. 16. The center is closed to the public, but Deanna Lewis, administrator, plans to be at work daily.

Staff members that are not under quarantine will remain in the building during AMI-X days. Students that need to pick up textbooks or other necessary items from school may contact the ofﬁce to make arrangements at 660-828-4123. Please keep in mind that close contacts have been contacted by the Health Department.

OPINION

Nov. 11, 2020

Lucky in the ﬁx

Fixing things is really about handling stress. The “thing-a-mahjig” that produces the aluminum printing plates for our press suddenly malfunctioned. Instead of spitting out plate-after-plate with images perfectly ready for ink, the plates started coming out perfectly blank (Note: for those of you who like to buy these 36”x24” thin aluminum plates we salvage for repairs around your place, now’s a good time to stop by – we’ve got a pile of ‘em). Patrick Mahomes, the Super Bowl MVP quarterback for the KC Chiefs, once said: “I feel like if something goes wrong, I have confidence in myself and my team that we’ll fix it.” That’s not only by Darryl Wilkinson encouraging but, in fact, it’s what happened here at Gallatin Publishing Company despite my initial misgivings. And you might be surprised who plays on our team. The “thing-a-mah-jig” is a digital computer-to-plate (CTP) system that uses a spinning laser to calibrate and deliver dots much smaller than the period at the end of this sentence into precise places on each printing plate. The unit’s processor uses intense heat to affix these “dots” chemically on the plates so that ink sticks in proper tolerance to the exposed emulsion. Few specialize in fixing such things because, well, there’re fewer newspapers than ever these days. An important part of our team is a service tech who hails from Forney, TX. That’s 588 miles away from Gallatin -- one way! But he arrived before last weekend. He suspected the malfunction to involve one of three things: a SCSII board, the main computer board, or the laser motor. Meanwhile, our local crew kept things on schedule. General Manager Jessica Holcomb worked until 9:30 p.m. processing files for our backup film system. Pressman Travis Burnett, started his work day at 3:30 a.m. just to assure that the slower film processing would not push us off schedule. Other members also stepped up. But, eventually, the service tech exhausted his playbook and seemed ready to punt. It ’s never a good feeling when you overhear the guy you’re depending on repeatedly mumble to himself “Hmmm …I dunno.” But, just like the Chiefs, he didn’t give up. He called an audible, going against the advice of the manufacturer, and changed out the system’s main computer board. It shouldn’t have worked. Yet quicker than you can say “Touchdown!” we were back in business. Such teamwork has its price. The repair bill will necessarily exceed several thousand dollars. But cost was furthest from my mind while the CTP was down. What price do you put on stress when things go wrong with no apparent fix in sight? We’ve got a good local newspaper staff here at GPC supported by some specialists -- a Texas wizard as well as others residing at Overland Park (KS) and Tarkio. It takes teamwork to deliver this newspaper into your hands week after week – and it involves the hard work and focused effort of a lot of people …some you may know, others you don’t. My part in all this chaos was being astute enough to remember where I kept the telephone number for our tech support. I’m not trying to be humble. Some days I count as good if I can fix a cup of coffee.

Extra session to focus on CARES

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Extraordinary times are calling for another extraordinary session. The Legislature has been called back to Jefferson City to provide additional funding in the state’s ﬁght against COVID-19. Last spring, when the pandemic had only just started, the federal government put together an emergency spending package, known as the CARES Act. This money was distributed to states for the purposes of assisting cities, counties and other municipalities with challenges presented by the virus. While there has been some criticism over why some of Missouri’s share of this funding had gone untouched, I believe this federal funding was not designed

Veterans Day is to honor

all who currently or previously served this country in military uniform, especially those who gave their lives to preserve and protect our freedoms. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Thus, a focus on this war fought by America’s Greatest Generation is particularly appropriate this Veterans Day 2020. Memorial plaques, such as this one in the hallway corridor of the Daviess County Courthouse, can be found throughout this land. These are people – not numbers – ...heroes, real patriots who understood that freedom is never free and gave their lives for you and for me. Memorial plaques, visual attempts to honor those who have served, date back as far as the American Revolution and as recent as Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe an eternal debt to them. Acknowledging Veterans Day, making it something more than just another holiday, is an opportunity to show our respect. Perhaps the most sincere way to observe Veterans Day is to renew a personal commitment to deliberately ponder and aspire to demonstrate personal virtue. It’s a noble quest. It’s why you’ll always ﬁnd military veterans, and others who know best what it truly means to serve, at gravesides throughout this great land we love so much -- America.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. — John 15:13

to be given to cities, counties and other municipalities in an instant, but distributed over time. In this pandemic, we have to not only take care of our immediate needs, but we also have to look ahead and be prepared for what could happen next. This is what we have done in the ShowMe State. During this second extra session, the General Assembly will be looking to allocate more than $1.2 billion in additional funding, with most of it coming from the federal government. My colleagues and I will develop a plan that will add these dollars to the current Fiscal Year 2021 budget, in a supplemental spending plan. Supplemental budgeting is common in Missouri, and part of how we can maintain a balanced

budget. We still have a lot of people who are reeling from this pandemic. We will work to get these needed dollars where they need to be, and still maintain the ﬁscal oversight we have always had in Missouri. I am also proud to announce I have been elected by my peers to continue my role as majority caucus chair in the Missouri Senate. I enjoy being a part of the leadership team and working with my colleagues more closely on a day-to-day basis. I have had the honor of holding this title for the past two years, and look forward to another two years of helping keep a steady course for our state. I thank my fellow senators for trusting in me to do the right thing.

What next? Special session By State Rep. J. Eggleston

The elections are over, and now TV can get back to airing commercials about Pepsi, pizza, and pick-up trucks. I am so incredibly grateful to the voters in my district for electing me for a fourth time to represent us in Jefferson City. Going into election night, I felt good about my chances, but was humbled to receive my largest margin of victory ever, and even more votes in my area than President Trump and Gov. Parson. I want to thank all of my supporters who donated money, hosted a sign, shared a good word, or voted for me. I am eager to get back to the capitol and continue ﬁghting for all of us in Northwest Missouri. I also want to thank the voters of my district and our state for passing Amendment 3. That amendment will ensure that future districts keep similar communities together, and that the

person who replaces me in two years when I am term-limited out of the House will be someone from our area with our background. All of the expert pollsters guessed that, given all of the outof-state big money thrown into negative advertising, Amendment 3 would fail. Once again, the pollsters were wrong. Thanks to my fellow state representatives and state senators sharing the truth about redistricting with their constituents, support from Missouri Farm Bureau, and voters doing their homework, Amendment 3 passed. Next on the legislative agenda is a Special Session for authorizing additional spending to address coronavirus. The House will be in full session the week of the 9th, and the Senate will meet after the House has passed its bills. I will discuss the outcome of Special Session in my next report.

Help return unclaimed military medals Ahead of Veterans Day, Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick is encouraging Missourians to search the Unclaimed Property database for unclaimed military medals and insignia. The Treasurer’s Office currently holds 233 military medals and insignia including five purple hearts, four bronze stars, and 90 other service medals. “As we honor and remember America’s military veterans, I want to remind Missourians of the over 200 military medals and insignia currently being held by the Unclaimed Property Division,” Fitzpatrick said. “It is the Treasurer’s Office policy to never sell or dispose of these medals—and it is a priority to return

them to their rightful owners. I encourage Missourians to search the list and see if you recognize a name. Together, we can get these medals returned to the heroes who earned them. As always, we thank America’s military veterans for their service to this great country.” Each year financial institutions, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations turn over millions of dollars in cash, securities, and the contents of safe deposit boxes to the Treasurer’s Office. These entities are required to turn over Unclaimed Property to the Treasurer’s Office after there has been no contact or documented transaction with the owner for five years. The

Five things to know about COVID-19 fraud

Benefit to help with medical expenses A benefit for Lita Terry will be held Nov. 21, starting at 2 p.m. at the Spillman Center in Jamesport. The fish fry with all the fixings asks for a free will donation. Live music will be performed by Billy D and Dlo & Open Stage. A chili cook-off will earn the winner 50% of the pot. The entry fee for the cook-off is $20. Donated auction items and a dessert auc-

Deputies receive CIT training Daviess County Deputies Jared Hogan and Jason Melton recently graduated from Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. Deputies Hogan and Melton attended CIT training in Saint Joseph. CIT training is designed to educate and prepare law enforcement officers who come into contact with people with mental illnesses. This training allows them to recognize the signs and symptoms of these illnesses and to respond effec-

tively and appropriately to individuals in crisis. Because law enforcement officers are often the first responders in these incidents, it is essential that they know how mental illnesses can alter people’s behaviors and perceptions. The trained CIT officer is skilled at de-escalating crises involving people with mental illness, while bringing an element of understanding and compassion to these difficult situations.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General is alerting the public about fraud schemes related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Scammers are offering COVID-19 tests to Medicare beneficiaries in exchange for personal details, including Medicare information. However, the services are unapproved and illegitimate. In one fraud scheme, some medical labs are targeting retirement communities claiming to offer COVID-19 tests, but actually drawing blood and billing federal health care programs for medically unnecessary services. In another scheme, fraudsters are offering people a $200 Medicare prescription card when no such cards currently exist. Fraudsters are targeting beneficiaries in a number of ways, including telemarketing calls, text messages, social media platforms, and door-to-door visits. These scammers use the coronavirus pandemic to benefit themselves, and beneficiaries face potential harms. The personal information collected can be used to fraudulently bill

federal health care programs and commit medical identity theft. If Medicare or Medicaid denies the claim for an unapproved test, the beneficiary could be responsible for the cost. Protect Yourself Beneficiaries should be cautious of unsolicited requests for their Medicare or Medicaid numbers or personal/medical information. Medicare will not call beneficiaries to offer COVID-19 related products, services, or benefit review. • Be suspicious of any unexpected calls or visitors offering COVID-19 tests or supplies. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately. Keep in mind that if your personal information is compromised, it may be used in other fraud schemes. • Do not respond to, or open hyperlinks in, text messages about COVID-19 from unknown individuals. • Ignore offers or advertisements for COVID-19 testing or treatments on social media sites. If you make an appointment for a COVID-19 test online, ensure the location is an actual testing site. • A physician or other trusted healthcare provider should assess your condition and ap-

prove any requests for COVID-19 testing. • Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone claiming to offer HHS grants related to COVID-19. • Be aware of scammers pretending to be COVID-19 contact tracers. Legitimate contact tracers will never ask for your Medicare number, financial information, or attempt to set up a COVID-19 test for you and collect payment information for the test. If you suspect COVID-19 health care fraud, report it immediately online or call 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477).

She was one of 22 students selected by North Central Missouri College (NCMC) to receive the award out of more than 100 area applicants in the NCMC service area.

Dual credit courses are taught by high school faculty and are designed to enrich rather than replace high school curriculum. Currently, NCMC offers dual

credit to over 40 high schools in its 16 county service region. In the 2019-2020 academic year, the College awarded just over 4,963 credit hours to over 665 dual credit students.

Dr. Arvin Ross Bunker

1946-2020 It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Arvin Ross Bunker, age 74. Arvin died at home in Gallatin, on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. Arvin was a quiet, gentle husband, father, and grandfather who spent his life in the service of others. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and shared his testimony of the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with others freely. Arvin was born May 15, 1946, in Prescott, Arizona, the third of seven children of Keith Leroy and Ellen Lucille (Bates) Bunker, members of two of the founding families in Chino Valley, Arizona. He graduated from Prescott High School and then Rick's College (now Brigham Young University – Idaho) where he was active in student leadership and played on the basketball team. He served a mission for his church in Mexico and then continued his undergraduate education at Arizona State University, graduating cum laude in 1970. He met his sweetheart, Mary Catherine Wagner, while a student at ASU. The two were married for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple on July 10, 1970, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this summer. They are the parents of seven children – Michael, Deborah, Julie, Christopher, Steven, Mark, and Nicole and grandparents to twenty-seven grandchildren. His family was his greatest joy, and he was happiest when rocking a crying baby, reading a story, driving RC cars, or giving a tractor ride. Dr. Bunker graduated magna cum laude with a PhD in agricultural economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He took his passion for helping others into his professional life, pioneering the way for microfinance and helping banks successfully build micro loan programs for farmers in need. He built programs with rural banks in Bolivia and Romania and created the systems to support a scholarship program that delivered more than 80,000 scholarship awards to girls in 15 African countries. He continued his research in private consultancy and with USAID in more than 34 countries, authoring groundbreaking research and changing the way we think about international development and microfinance. The Bunkers raised their family in Fairfax, Virginia, Cochabamba, Bolivia, and Bucharest, Romania. Arvin and Cathie built a home and retired to Gallatin in 2009. Dr. Bunker continued to serve in the local community as a member of the township board, a pastoral leader in his local congregation, a youth leader in the Boy Scouts, and a tour guide at Adam-ondi-Ahman. Arvin was preceded in death by his parents, his son, Michael Rand Bunker (Lela) and daughter Julie Bunker-Mendes (Charles), and his siblings, Kathryn Graham, James Bunker, and Keith Bunker, Jr. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Catherine and their remaining children, Dr. Rick and Deborah Morse, Christopher and Valerie Bunker, Steven and Meredith Bunker, Drs. Mark and Jaime Bunker, and Chester and Nicole Grover, and his twenty-seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters, Margaret (Craig Summers), Marilyn (Dean Cook), and Dr. Ellen Bunker. Funeral services will be hosted at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gallatin at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 14. The family will receive visitors from 10:00-10:45 prior to the church service. Masks will be required for all guests. In lieu of flowers, the family invites memorial contributions to the Active Aging Resource Center in care of the funeral home.

Farmers band together to help the Widner family

The community of Mercer suffered a terrible loss when Gregg Widner, 47, passed away in a farm related accident on Nov. 6. Gregg is the brother of Scott (Tammy) Widner of Gallatin. Many friends, family, and local farmers joined together to finish harvesting Mr. Widner’s crops. “I just can’t express in words how thankful I am to live in such a loving and compassionate community,” says Dana Widner. “The way they have all pulled together to show their love for my husband will forever be held very close in my heart.” “May the Widner family know they have a community behind them who is praying for strength

and comfort during this difficult time,” wrote Jerry Girdner of Princeton on his social media post. According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at about 2:18 on Nov. 6 as Mr. Widner was driving a 1992 Ford grain truck east on Hwy. 136. About three miles east of Princeton he attempted to pass a 2008 Case combine and his truck struck a bridge rail and overturned. The driver of the combine was not listed as injured in the report. “We know many were willing to help and thank you to all that offered,” Mr. Girdner wrote on his Facebook post.
