The property on South Daviess Street has been cleaned up through cooperation between the police and the property owner.

Gallatin Police, citizens target abandoned buildings The Gallatin Police Department has been actively working on code violations during April. Twelve letters regarding code violations were sent out to residents, according to Police Chief Mark Richards.

Four abandoned buildings have been torn down and the lots cleared, including one at 205 South Willow, at 505 South Daviess, at 809 West Mill, and 310 North Clay.

“We’ve had a better response to code compliance this year than in the last several years,” says Chief Richards. “It can cost several thousand dollars to tear a house down, so we’re always grateful for the citizens who are willing to do it. Otherwise, we have to go through the process of boarding the property

and cleaning it up.”

The ordinance allows the city to put a lien on the property if the owner doesn’t clean it up. But the city much prefers having the owner correct the issue of their own accord.

Another eight properties are actively being addressed. At least two of those property owners have already contacted the police department and expressed a desire to get their property taken care of. The other six have a limited amount of time to contact the police before fines are imposed.

The 12 letters sent out to residents address major issues. Several others properties have minor violations; these are things considered nuisances by the city ordinances,

like unlicensed vehicles, tires, building materials, general refuse and trash.

High grass will no doubt be next on citywide code violations, and, again, the city would rather not have to mow anybody’s property, and asks that residents not wait for a notice from the police to cut the grass.

“Our goal is to help the owner get their property to a level where it doesn’t distract from their neighbors,” Chief Richards says.

Though ordinances are enforced all year long, the police department does try to coordinate the work on code violations with bulk trash pickup dates, which were April 23-24 of this week... “in case they needed to get rid of any big stuff,” says Chief Richards.

Brandon Pooler of Altamont was arrested April 23 after a Daviess County deputy received anonymous information from two sources about three stolen dirt bikes.

The bikes were allegedly located at a Winston residence, according to the probable cause statement.

Deputy Caleb Ireland made contact with the Winston homeowner, who indicated that the three bikes stored there belonged to Pooler. In a computer check, two of the dirt bikes, a 2000 Honda and a 2004 Honda, came back as stolen out of Clay County.

Pooler was later located at a Cameron residence, and with the help of the Cameron Police Department, Pooler was taken into custody at around 11 p.m.

Pooler, 17, was interviewed after he signed a Miranda waiver and voluntarily admitted to stealing the three bikes which were in Winston. He also admitted to stealing a 1989 Suzuki which was reported stolen in Daviess County on Feb. 24.

Pooler was charged with three counts of tampering with a motor vehicle first degree and one count of stealing, all D felonies. Bond is set at $35,000.

Second Harvest, letter carriers team up to Stamp Out Hunger

Gallatin’s ninth grade bottle cap collectors are pictured, front row, Jennison Lichfield, Morgan Lee-McGinnis, Chase Moulton, Maelea Coulsen (Sr.), Carol Walker, Stephanie Chesney, and Markay August; back row: Burke Dalton, Erica Redman, Ciera Arndt, Kyrah Barker, Johnny Stout, Blythe Hunter (Sr.), Jacob Maize, Trevor Dessalle.

Water bottle caps add up to life-saving project “One water bottle cap equals five free minutes of dialysis?”

That was the question Gallatin’s ninth grade English teacher Markay August asked her neighbor Stephanie Chesney after overhearing part of a conversation. When Stephanie said, “Yes, that’s correct,” the project was off and running.

“I presented the idea to all three of my classes, and they were all interested and contributed to the project, but the third hour class was the one that really got on board,” says Markay August. “Water bottle caps have appeared on my desk—loose, in baggies, and

pulled out of pockets—virtually every day for the past five months. Then one day a senior, Maelea Coulsen, came in with a bag full. She said she knew first-hand about dialysis because her grandmother had undergone the long, arduous treatments.“ Caps began to appear daily in Mrs. August’s school mailbox, with high school secretary Carol Walker to thank for all those.

“One day I happened to tell my friend Anne Garber about the project,” Mrs. August continues. “Anne works at the Jamesport Country Store and when she told the other ladies who work there…well, let me just shout

out a big thank you for all the water bottle caps they collected for us!”

The project has produced well over 4,000 water bottle caps, which the students stored in empty yogurt containers supplied by the high school cafeteria ladies who also added a few extra water bottle caps of their own.

“When Stephanie came by to pick up the caps, she was shocked,” Mrs. August says.

“She told us people usually hand her a plastic grocery bag half-filled and that’s a lot of water bottle caps. But this ambitious group of ninth graders and friends really filled the bag.”

The list of high school seniors in position to graduate from Daviess County schools totals exactly 100!

Second Harvest Community Food Bank and the National Association of Letter Carriers is preparing for the Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. This year, the drive will take place on Saturday, May 12.

“Stamp Out Hunger allows our local letter carriers to be part of the solution to hunger,” said Blake Haynes, Communications Coordinator at Second Harvest.

“Local letter carriers supporting our mission and taking a stance, sends a clear message that hunger in our communities is unacceptable.”

Participating is easy; all someone has to do is fill their yellow bag with non-perishable food items, and leave it by their mailbox. Your letter carrier will come by, pick it up and make sure it’s delivered to a local Partner Agency. Food donated within their community stays in their community to feed food insecure individuals.

Stamp Out Hunger is the largest, single-day food drive in the United States. Last year, over 80 million pounds of food was collected by generous Americans; making for over 155 million in the last two years. That marks the most food collected in backto-back years in the food drive’s history.

To learn more, call the Second Harvest Office, 816.364.3663.

Tranquility lost

by Freida Marie Crump

I’m a Ford man I grew up a Ford man.

Back in the day before video games and electronic gadgets, my cousin (who was really more like a brother) and I used to pass the time on a long highway trip by playing a recognition game.

It was challenging, at least for us 10-year-olds. All you had to do was look as far forward down the road as you could see. Then guess the model of car next approaching. If you guessed first and guessed right, you got a point.

Cars were distinctly different back then. Some Chevys still had fins; front grills and headlight spacing were distinguishing details. Hood ornaments were dead giveaways for the Oldsmobiles and some Buicks, although that was the hint of last resort since it meant the approaching car was really getting too close to call, causing you to lose track of what’s next on the horizon.

We were good at this, even playing past dusk when all you really had to go by were the headlights. And during the contests, we’d argue about which was better, Fords or Chevys. We argued, even though neither one of us knew the difference between a carburetor and a distributor.

The difference was personal: His dad drove a Chevy, mine drove a Ford.

How quaint.

Over the years car models morphed into copycats until today you really have to look hard to see any differences. But even bigger changes are underway.

“You must read to your children and you must hug your children and you must love your children. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house.”

-- former First Lady Barbara Bush in a 1990 commencement address

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Ford has announced plans to largely give up selling cars in North America, focusing instead on trucks and SUVs. The only sedans in its future lineup will be the Mustang and a crossover version of the Focus. This makes me sad.

I know there is no place for sentimental value in the competitive market. I’m still a “FixOr-Repair-Daily” (Ford) man in my heart despite choosing Ford’s competitors for several GPC delivery vans (the last car even my dad, a WWII veteran, bought was a Toyota ...which allowed me to buy a Honda for our personal use without feeling guilty).

But, at my core, I’m still a Ford man.

During the fallout of the 2008 Recession, you may recall the bailout for General Motors — but not so for Ford. The Ford Company refused the public handout and survived to thrive. So, how could it be that Ford now chooses to abandon the car market?

Consider something called the Corporate Average Fuel Environmental Protection Agency (CAFE).

The Obama Administration’s CAFE standards would require an automaker’s fleet to average 54.5 miles a gallon by 2025. The details get complicated. The intent, at least in part, was to regulate emissions to better the environment (you can read that as global warming).

I’m no economist. But I don’t think you can simply declare something and expect it to happen without consequence. If that works, then I am announcing my retirement as of tomorrow and when I lock the doors here for the last time tomorrow night there’s going to be a million bucks in my bank account for use at my discretion, no questions asked!

Understand, I don’t endorse Donald Trump. But at least this administration is trying to undo the CAFE standards as a means to regulate emissions.

If the oil shocks we withstood during the 1970s demonstrated anything, it’s that better gas

mileage actually encourages people to drive more. What’s more, while some can finance the more expensive hybrids and electric vehicles, the rest of us happily go on driving SUVs, trucks and out-of-date vehicles, using just as much gas and spewing unwanted emissions as much ever.

I’m not convinced that better MPG is the best approach for emission control. Our country’s preference for politics plays havoc in the marketplace.

So, it makes perfect sense for Ford to make trucks rather than cars, just as it does for Toyota to make hybrids. And, yes, emission standards should be in the mix when discussing global warming.

But the market (meaning drivers like you and me) should determine what products and companies survive, not the government nor some arbitrary policy nor some government handout.

I’m a Ford man ... meaning CAFE vehicle mileage standards are an absurdly indirect way to regulate emissions. And Ford’s decision demonstrates why.

Back in the Day...

May 2, 1915 – John Donaldson, a pitcher for the barnstorming Kansas City All-Nations team, tossed a no-hitter on this date.

The most significant thing is that he threw another no-hitter a few days later.

May 3, 1870 The very first railroad train arrived in Springfield on this day. ewspapers reported that “Almost everyone in the city and Greene County was there to see it.”

May 4, 1876 The first ational League game took place in Missouri on this day. The Brown Stockings (later called the Cardinals) played the Chicago White Stockings. They had played before in the National Association.

It was rained out in the 3rd.

May 5, 1890 – A big show playing in Maxville was followed up by a traveling company of bears, goats and a big monkey. One man saw the keeper put his hand into the bear’s mouth, so he tied doing the same. Sad mistake.

May 6, 1902 – Some folks were upset about chickens in the streets at Pierce City. An election was held and the chickens won.

Now it was legal for the chickens to cross the road.

Greetings from the Poosey.

Barbara Bush would never allow her children to brag, as modesty was chief among the virtues she demanded of her brood of six kids. I sat watching George W. in the front row of Mrs. Bush’s services last week, and although the speakers extolled the virtues of First Lady, America’s goodwill ambassador, and moral leader, I’m sure that all he thought about was ...Mom. And despite his mother’s wishes, on that Houston morning he had something to brag about.

There’s always something very special, very comforting about occasions like this when four U.S. presidents and their wives gather in the same room to pay tribute to one of their select club. Men, some of who had bashed each other in past elections sit side by side in the same church pew, no longer the center of anyone’s attention, merely participants.

Bush #41 and his wife belonged to the Greatest Generation for whom class, civility and demeanor were of the utmost importance.

Both the President and Mrs. Bush were famous for writing thankyou notes. Class, courtesy ... almost forgotten qualities inside the Washington D.C. Beltline today. They didn’t tweet, they thanked.

Neither Barbara Bush nor her husband could conceive of bragging, mocking with nicknames, or tolerate any sort of bigotry. When Bush ran for the Senate in 1964 they took in a young volunteer named Don Rhodes, a young man who had been orphaned and who was nearly deaf.

Barbara and George kept him on their personal payroll until he died. His ashes were scattered over the Bush family gravesite. It would not have occurred to them to make fun of any sort of disability.

The Bush family was once told that their black baby-sitter couldn’t stay with them in the same hotel. Barbara took up arms and won the battle.

Their daughter died and she took up the fight against childhood leukemia. Their son suffered with dyslexia and she waged a lifelong war against illiteracy. The couple has raised millions of dollars for cancer research and literacy. Did you ever hear them brag about it?

When the Reagan administration had hemmed and hawed over the AIDS crisis, she urged her husband to endorse more federal funding for a cure. When George H.W. was less than convincing in his comments about the homeless during a presidential debate, Barbara bent his ear until he took a definite stand. There’s been hardly a politician in our history who was completely truthful, but Barbara was perhaps her husband’s biggest force of conscious in being forthright as the occupant of the Oval Office.

Marital faithfulness was a hallmark of their relationship with not even a whiff of scandal in all their years in the public eye. Mrs. Bush told her speechwriter, Mary Kate Cary, that the last thing the couple did every night was to debate on who loved the other more before falling asleep holding hands.

She once told a group of graduates, “At the end of your life you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.” And, “The most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people -- your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.” When the former First Lady died at age 92 there were those among us who feared that the concepts of class and propriety were buried with her. I hope not.

The Secret Service provides code names for each of the notables its assigned to protect. Barbara Bush’s code name was “Tranquility.”

We could use a good dose of that right now. We could use more like Barbara Bush.

Barbara’s husband, George H.W., sat in his wheelchair during his wife’s service, a smile on his face. He had heard some beautiful words spoken of his wife that morning, words as eloquent as the lady herself. Amazingly he held that strong countenance throughout the entire service until his son, Jeb, read a love letter that his father had written to his mother many years ago. It was then that tears came to the former President’s eyes. I don’t presume to know what was going through his mind, but I suspect he was thinking of what he has lost. Perhaps we were all thinking the same thing.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Taxing thoughts

by S t at e R ep. J . E g g l es t o n

A couple of weeks back was an important date when it comes to income taxes. April 18 was the deadline to file your federal and state income tax returns. Normally, the due date is April 15, but that date was on a Sunday and Monday, April 16, was a federal holiday (Emancipation Day). Then on Tuesday, April 17, the IRS’s web site for electronic filing of tax returns crashed -- which pushed the deadline back to April 18. Whew -- I hope you got your return in on time!

But there was another important date relating to taxes. April 12 was Tax Freedom Day in Missouri. That essentially means that all of the money the average Missourian earned for the first 102 days of the year did not go to those workers or their families, but instead went to the government in the form of federal, state, and local taxes.

Working for over a quarter of the year to fund the government is depressing. But it could be worse. You could live in California where Tax Freedom Day isn’t until April 23, or New York where it is the nation’s latest on May 14. Even a couple of Midwestern, big government leaning states like Minnesota and Illinois are around April 28.

Then again, it could be better. Sixteen states have lower taxes than us, like Oklahoma whose Tax Freedom Day is April 5.

Americans will pay about $3.4 trillion in federal taxes and another $1.8 trillion in state and local taxes. These totals are about 30% of our nation’s income. Taxes add up to more than we spend on our food, clothing, and housing combined.

Averaging all of the states together, America’s collective Tax Freedom Day is April 19. This is three days earlier than last year thanks to the recently passed federal tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. In 2014, the Missouri legislature passed a plan to slowly lower the personal income tax from 6.0% down to 5.5% over time, but only in stages where we could afford to do so.

This year, several proposals are being debated to piggyback on this policy and on the success of the federal Tax Cuts & Jobs Act to further lower Missourians’ tax burden and close loopholes in the tax code, while still prudently funding the vital functions of state government. Two of the bigger proposals are now in the Senate, while two of the slimmer bills (including my HB1964) are in the House.

Hopefully, the House and Senate can come to an agreement on some improvements to our tax code before session ends on May 18.

Coffee Shop Talk

by D av ies s Co un t y FS A E x ec ut iv e D irec t o r Man di B ird

It’s finally looking and feeling like spring, with lots of fertilizer going on and seeds going in the ground.

Daviess County continues to register on the Drought Monitor, now at level 2 for Moderate Drought. Here at the office we finished off the month of April with 0.87 inches of rainfall on six different days (normal rainfall for April is 3.71 inches).

If conditions continue or worsen, there are programs that could possibly be implemented such as water assistance, the Livestock Forage Disaster program or emergency release of CRP for haying or grazing after July 15. Stay tuned as we head into the summer months.

I know everyone is busy in the fields, but here are a few quick reminders: We are currently in the nesting season, which means there should be no disturbance to any CRP ground from May 1-July 15.

Any special request for activity on CRP, such as spraying to kill sericea lespedeza, must be made to the County Committee and approved in advance of the activity.

Spring Oats must be reported

by May 15. All other annual crops must be reported by July 15.

Failed crops should be reported within 15 days after the date of disaster (frost, flood, hail, etc.) or after the loss is apparent.

Prevent plant acres must be reported 15 calendar days after the final planting date.

The final RMA planting dates for full coverage are as follows: corn -- May 25, aoybeans -- June 20, grain sorghum -- June 20.

If you have made any changes to your farming operation such as forming an entity, dissolving an entity, adding a family member to the operation, clearing trees, breaking out sod, or if 2018 is your first year farming, you must sign an AD-1026 form certifying compliance with Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation. The 2014 Farm Bill requires all farmers to

have one on file to maintain eligibility for premium support on federal crop insurance.

Thinking of buying a hay trailer or grain cart? We can loan on these items at a fixed interest rate for 3-, 5- or 7-year terms.

The Daviess County office staff can assist you with many Farm Storage and handling loans and commodity marketing loans.

FSA also offers a variety of farm ownership, operating and emergency loans. However, these types of loans are administered

by Charles Meissen, Farm Loan Manager, who is stationed in Harrison County. If you are interested learning more about those loans, you can contact the Harrison County office at 660.425.7635.

All USDA Service Centers will be closed on Monday, May 28, in observance of Memorial Day. That’s all folks! All of us here at Daviess County FSA wish you a break-down free planting season, good growing weather. We look forward to seeing you at crop reporting time. If you have any questions about our programs, give us a call or stop on by.

Letters

Dear Editor: I am trying to find the family of Mrs. Mollie Price Brosius from Gallatin who joined the DAR under the service of one John Reeves.

In her application, she refers to the James Nelson Bible which she had in her possession. I believe that Bible contains information that is vital to my research on the Reeves family.

I would love to correspond with the family of Mrs. Brosius if anyone has copies of her research or knows the whereabouts or information on the Nelson Family Bible.

Sincerely, Jonathan Reeves, jer0007@tigermail.auburn. edu, (334) 444-6705

More wind in the wires

Associated to buy power from new wind farm in NW Missouri E dit o r’ s n o t e: The following is reprinted with permission from Rural Missouri, the monthly magazi ne distributed by the Associated E lectric Cooperatives. That publication’s editor, Jim McCarty, reports receiving “nasty phone calls” from those obj ecting to wind turbines erected in Dekalb County. Please note that wind turbines nearer to Daviess County involve a completely di erent company and pro ect unrelated to the story unfolding in odaway County, as described below. Currently, there is no countywide zo ning providing local control in Daviess County.

Electric cooperative members in three states will benefit from more renewable energy once the Clear Creek Wind Farm comes online. Associated Electric Cooperative, which supplies wholesale electricity to electric cooperatives in Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma, recently announced it had agreed to buy the output from the Clear Creek project to be built north of Maryville

by Tenaska.

That will bring the number of wind farms supplying electricity to Associated to seven, including: Bluegrass Ridge, Cow Branch, Conception and Lost Creek in Northwest Missouri; Osage in Oklahoma and Flat Ridge in Kansas. The new wind farm is expected to be online in 2020.

The electricity generated by the wind farm is under contract to Associated through a 25-year power purchase agreement. Clear Creek will be built on 30,000 acres of private land in Nodaway County. It will consist of 100 to 120 Vestas turbines, each with a capacity of 2 to 3 megawatts.

Altogether, the wind farm could generate as much as 236 megawatts, keeping in mind the variable nature of wind energy.

According to Associated, the Clear Creek power purchase agreement is competitive with the cost of coal and gas generation, traditionally the power cooperative’s lowest-cost generation sources. The long-term pricing of this contract

serves as a buffer against the possibility of rising fuel prices for power generation.

Improvements in turbine technology make this an even better energy resource for electric cooperative members. Clear Creek features a capacity factor of 47 percent which will provide a more stable renewable power resource than previous turbine designs.

Associated has significant experience managing the energy output from 750 megawatts of wind energy at the six existing wind farms from which it receives power. With the addition of Clear Creek, a total capacity of 986 megawatts will potentially be available when wind conditions are right.

Associated made possible the first wind farm in Missouri, Bluegrass Ridge, when it agreed to purchase the entire output of the wind farm near King City in 2007. That same year, the Springfield-based power cooperative was recognized as the “Wind Cooperative of the Year” by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and the Cooperative Research Network.

The award acknowledged that, at the time, Missouri was considered a marginal state for wind energy projects. Associated’s faith in the potential of wind energy opened the door for many other wind farms in Missouri.

A ‘wind-win’ for Missouri

by B arry H art | bh art @ amec . c o o p

I can still remember a time when experts thought Missouri was only “marginal” as a potential location for wind farms. Early attempts at turning wind into energy failed, in large part because the technology hadn’t advanced much beyond the windchargers that once were used to power radios in the days before rural electrification.

All that changed in 2007 when leaders from Missouri’s electric cooperatives gathered in a field near King City to dedicate the Bluegrass Ridge Wind Farm. That project provided renewable energy capacity to the electric cooperative grid at a time when energy use was rapidly growing.

Bluegrass Ridge was pioneering in both its scale and the technology that harvested the strong winds that blow through this part of northwest Missouri. But it wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership from Associated Electric Cooperative, where savvy employees recognized the potential from this untapped natural resource.

Associated agreed to buy the entire output from this project, the last link in a chain that made Bluegrass Ridge possible. This commitment, as well as the strong high-voltage transmission system owned by Associated and N.W. Electric Power Cooperative, made wind power a reality in Missouri.

Over the years, additional wind farms sprouted in Missouri as the state’s electric cooperatives added to their renewable resources. The Conception and Cow Branch wind farms began operation in 2008. Two years later, Lost Creek Wind Farm added another 100 turbines to King City. In 2012, Associated added power from the Flat Ridge 2 project in Kansas.

And in 2015, the Osage Wind Farm in Oklahoma added another 94 turbines to the mix. KAMO Power helped put the transmission infrastructure in place to deliver this power to cooperative members.

Early this year, I traveled to Maryville for another renewable energy announcement held at Northwest Missouri State University, my alma mater. A large crowd showed up to support the project including local farmers, county and city leaders and even the Northwest Missouri State University President John Jasinski. Here Associated announced the signing of a 25-year purchase agreement for 236 megawatts of wind energy from a new project called Clear Creek to be built in Nodaway County.

Advances in technology make this fifth wind farm a good fit for Missouri’s electric cooperatives. It’s being hailed as a hedge on increases in the price of fuel — coal and natural gas — used to generate electricity for members.

It’s also going to make a big difference in the economy of a region that is dependent on agriculture. Area farmers fortunate enough to have a wind turbine on their land tell me this is the same as having crop insurance. Lease payments provide much-needed income for farmers in years when bad weather destroyed crops.

The economic benefits have extended beyond payments to landowners. Area businesses from restaurants to hotels to automotive repair shops have seen an increase in business since the wind farms were built.

Tenaska, the developer of the new Clear Creek project, estimates its construction will boost the local economy by $200 million to $300 million. It will create more than 200 jobs at peak construction and result in up to 15 full-time jobs when it becomes operational in 2020.

The project also will increase tax revenue by more than $1.2 million annually, benefitting local schools and county government, while adding the same amount in lease payments to area farmers.

This revenue will multiply as it works its way through the area economy.

You could say this agreement is a “wind-win” for electric cooperative members statewide.

E dit o r’ s n o t e: Mr. H art is executive vice president of the Association of Missouri E lectric Cooperatives.

The Daviess County Library in conjunction with the NASA@ mylibrary grant invited NASA Solar System Ambassador Bob Riddle to Daviess County for a tour and assembly at four area schools on April 25. Library staff Allison Spidle and Brooke Lee accompanied Mr. Riddle on a tour of the county, during which they visited Tri-County, Pattonsburg, Winston and North Daviess school districts.

In each district, the school gathered their middle school through high school grades for an assembly in the school gym. During each assembly, Ms. Spidle gave a brief presentation on student internships and fellowships at NASA, including opportunities available for high school students and high school educators. This was then followed by a presentation from Mr. Riddle.

Mr. Riddle, one of 450 NASA Solar System Ambassadors worldwide, hails from Lee’s Summit, and spoke to each group about his career as an astronomer. Mr. Riddle has worked on several NASA grants, including being one of 20 educators selected to the education team component for the Cassini mission to Saturn.

Mr. Riddle’s presentation included pictures of him at NASA labs in hazmat-like clean suits alongside famous NASA spacecraft such as the Cassini and the Sojourner, the first rover to go to Mars.

Riddle told the students that a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) can be quite varied as he has worked as a teacher, astro-photographer, researcher, magazine writer, planetarium director, field facilitator for the Challeng-

er Project (NASA’s touring educational initiative sponsored by family members of those lost in the Challenger mission tragedy) and has even worked in conjunction with orchestral musicians in creating live music planetarium shows. He has traveled worldwide and has visited many of the best observatories and labs in the United States.

Mr. Riddle noted to the students that most senior NASA Bob Riddle employees with whom he has worked, all have a great combination of left brain and right brain interests. For example, they may be an astronaut but they also have great interest in writing and photography. Or, perhaps, by day they are an aerospace engineer but they are also an avid poetry enthusiast. He encouraged the students to start thinking about a career in STEM and to not wait in preparing themselves. He told them to find something that interests them, find the place where one can study that, and start putting a plan in motion to get there.

The presentations were well received at each of the four schools. Upon returning to the library at the end of the day, Mr. Riddle told library staff how much he enjoyed his visit to Daviess County and how pleased he was to have spent the day back in a school setting talking directly with students.

Library staff thanked him for his entirely volunteer effort in reaching out to our area young people and opening them up to a world of opportunity they may have not yet considered.

Spring’s sprung: time to spruce up Spring has sprung once again!

The Gallatin Garden Club began with an April 18 meeting, held at the Seventh Day Adventist Service Center in Gallatin.

On the tables were the flowers of the month, wild violets and baby spirea, picked from the hostess’ yard.

As part of a service project, club members will be planting and caring for the flower pots and planters at the Daviess County Squirrel Cage Jail.

The Gallatin Garden Club encourages members of the community to work on sprucing their yards and gardens as well.

Worthy pledges to the club were given by all members during the business meeting portion.

The 2018 officers are: President Jean Caldwell; Vice President Jennifer Williams; Secretary Sue Downey; Treasurer Louise Taylor. Unfortunately due to illness, the club’s longtime historian and member Delma Rodgers was unable to attend.

Karen Reed gave a tour and informational program about the Seventh Day Adventist Service Center. The Center accepts donations from the public which are sorted and marked by volunteers; clothing and household items, etc., are then available for free or low cost purchase.

Food times are also available, thanks to Second Harvest and other donations. Proceeds from sales benefit the community families in need. Karen and Bill Reed operate the Service Center, along with the help of 24 volunteers. The Center is open to the public each Wednesday.

Refreshments were served by Sarah Dowell.

Louise Taylor will host the May Garden Club meeting.

No board meeting was held on Feb. 22 due to dangerous weather and road conditions (ice storm) or on March 29 due to lack of a quorum.

Any mammal can be infected with rabies, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation, but bats (less than 1 percent are infected) and skunks (a variable percent are infected) are the most significant rabies-vector species in Missouri. Infected animals may be found dead, weak, stumbling, convulsing, or showing unusual behavior, such as aggression or disorientation. The picture of this raccoon was taken in southeast Daviess County. MDC suggest that you do not approach or handle any animal that shows unusual behavior.

If bitten, scratched, or exposed to saliva from a wild animal: Clean and flush the wound with soap and warm water for 10–15 minutes, and seek immediate medical attention. Rabies is a viral disease of mammals. Rabies testing requires brain tissue, so avoid head shots if killing suspect animals.

Babies in wild are better off to be free Spring brings the births of wild animals such as birds, rabbits, and squirrels. With that come good intentions of kindhearted people who want to adopt baby animals they find because they think they have been orphaned or abandoned.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds people to leave these young wild animals where they find them, or return them to their nests or nest areas if possible.

“Baby animals are rarely abandoned or orphaned,” said MDC State Wildlife Veterinarian Sherri Russell. “The wildlife parent is afraid of people and will retreat when you approach.

If the baby animal is left alone, the parent will usually return.

Also, parent animals cannot constantly attend to their young and often spend many hours each day gathering food.”

Russell added that baby birds are common animals people want to help by adopting them.

“If you see a baby bird on the

ground hopping around and it has feathers, leave it alone because it is a fledgling and the parents are nearby keeping an eye on it,” she explained. ‘If you find one that is featherless, it probably fell out of nest. Return it to the nest if you can, or at least near the nest.”

She added most wild mothers do not abandon their young because of a human smell on them, and most baby wild animals do not survive in captivity.

“While people may have good intentions, the care and rehabilitation of wild animals requires special training, knowledge, facilities, care – and permits,” she said. “Wild animals, if they are to survive in captivity, often require highly specialized care. Without such care, they will remain in poor health and may eventually die. And it is illegal to possess many wild animals without a valid state or federal permit.”

She noted wild animals can become dangerous to handle as they mature, can carry parasites and disease, and can damage property.

A Answer

Public Notices.

Q

Construction bid notices, published in a legallyqualified local newspaper, inform citizens how their tax money is being spent and inform construction contractors about public projects on which to bid.

Hardly a week passes without some small notice being printed in this newspaper. These notices, required by law, affect you and your family and friends.

They show how your government is being run, how much money is being spent and where. They keep you in touch with your government through this newspaper.

That’s the whole idea.

Question

The County is planning a major construction project. How do you know?

Norma was born in Harrison County to Jasper and Lori (Vance) Rouner on Aug. 4, 1922. She married Dale W. Crabtree on May 1, 1948. He preceded her in death April 8, 1984. She spent most of her life in Pattonsburg until she went to live with her daughter and son-in-law, six and a half years ago.

Norma was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pattonsburg where she was a Sunday school teacher of various ages, taught vacation bible school, was involved with Northridge bible study and taking cookies to the nursing home in Gallatin.

Additionally, she often joked of being really tall and willowy in her new heavenly body. Through her life she learned and did rely on her Lord, like learning to drive at the age of 62 with the help of a good friend and neighbor.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Dale Crabtree; parents, Jasper and Lori (Vance) Rouner; sisters, Helen (Rouner) Youngs, Dortha (Rouner) Fansher; brother, Clayton Rouner; and son, Steve Crabtree.

Saturday, May 5, at the First Baptist Church, Pattonsburg, under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Pattonsburg. Burial will follow in New Hope Cemetery, McFall.

In my last devotional, I pondered what it meant for me to render unto God that which belonged to Him. You and I created in God's image is what we are called upon to give to God. We can only do that by submitting to Christ, allowing Him to live in us. But it seems only fitting during the month of April, to also consider what Jesus meant in that same passage about rendering unto Caesar.

Matthew 22:15-22, “Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said. 16 And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. 17 "Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 "Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius. 20 And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" 21 They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." 22 And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.” (NASU) Jesus gave a broad, general command about rendering to Caesar what belonged to Caesar.

Paul gave a fuller explanation in Romans 13:1-7, “Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.” (NASU) Paying taxes and giving honor to a government I agreed with would be difficult for me personally, but paying taxes to one I disagree with is even harder. I need to remind myself that the government New Testament Christians lived under was much more tyrannical.

We agonize a great deal in seeking the will of God but here in plain sight is the will of God for my life (and yours): paying taxes. Christmas, Good Friday, Easter and the Lord's Supper are great celebrations of remembrance for Christians. But for those of us in the United States, what about April 15? And what about each time you pay out at your favorite retail store?

Aren't paying income tax, property tax, sales tax, etc. good opportunities to remember and celebrate the will of God? Ouch! I say.

Strong winds fail to deter Gallatin golfers’ strong district showing

Gallatin notched another title in golf on Monday, winning a sixth straight Class 1, District 8 championship at St. Joseph Country Club. The Bulldogs combined for a team total 352 to easily hold off runner-up MidBuchanan, which finished the day at 385.

Monday’s effort culminated in a number of repeats for the Bulldogs after adding yet another conference title last week.

Jett Simmons won his third district medalist award and joined Logan Burns and Gabe Cole as four-time all-district golfers.

Simmons shot a 78 in windy conditions on Monday to lead the District 8 field. Burns equaled last season’s third place finish with a round of 86. Cole finished eighth in the field with a 91 that included a 42 on the back nine holes.

Haden Bradford shot 97 to make the all-district list in 11th place. Colin Beck shot 102 for the Bulldogs, good for 19th place.

Gallatin moves on to sectional competition at Maryville’s Mozingo Lake Golf Course on Monday along with Mid-Buchanan, Marceline and Clopton. Gallatin’s 352 was second best in Class 1 on Monday. Bloomfield shot 351 on its home course.

The Bulldogs prepped for dis-

trict by winning the Lawson Tournament on Thursday and taking first in a tri-meet held Friday at Daviess County Country Club.

Simmons finished co-medalist with a round of 70. Burns placed sixth with an 80. Cole captured 10th place with an 82. Beck and Bradford shot 86 and 88, respectively, at Lawson.

Gallatin defeated Marceline and Trenton on Friday in the team’s final home meet. The Bulldogs combined for a 9-hole score of 157 to clip Marceline (173) and Trenton (199).

Simmons finished meet medalist with a 34. Burns tied Trenton’s Lathan Croy for runner-up with a 36. Other GHS scores were Beck, 43, Cole 44 and Bradford 45.

A Special Achievement?

The Pattonsburg scholar bowl team of Madison Hulett, Sofia Nunn, Grace Warner and Jackson Zamora, played at the district tournament at Princeton on April 14.

Participating teams played three round-robin games to determine placement in the tournament. The S Panthers first faced an old opponent from HDC days, Winston. Although they kept close in the first quarter, Pattonsburg was outscored in the subsequent quarters and ended with a loss of 320 to 80.

In the second game, Pattonsburg played Princeton. This was a close game with the Panthers trailing by only a few points throughout the match, although Princeton stayed ahead to win by 30 points, 150 to 180. In the third round-robin game, Pattonsburg played East Harrison, and was defeated, 80-260.

However, with only four teams participating in district play, the Panthers still had another chance to play, facing Winston again in a semifinal match. This competition was closer, but Win-

ston still managed to win, 80-130.

This eliminated Pattonsburg from the tournament. Winston was tournament champion.

Scoring during the day’s matches were Jackson Zamora with 240 points, Sofia Nunn with 40 points, and Grace Warner with 20 points. Jackson was named to the All-District team, receiving a medal for his scoring success in the tournament.

Gregg Hartley served as team coach throughout the season.

Misunderstanding only adds fuel to fire Changes to an ordinance on open burning within city limits, which was recently passed by the City of Gallatin, has become a bit of a hot-button topic, but only because of a lot of misinformation going around, according to Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards.

The reality is that now you get to burn more stuff. Before all you could burn was leaves and clippings and other small things.

The new ordinance allows you to have fire pits and burn big brush piles.

No new restrictions were passed. All restrictions in the new ordinance were already in place under the city’s nuisance ordinance.

The city did, however, relax

some of the burning restrictions to allow for outdoor fire pits/ rings. You may now have an outside fire pit or fire ring that is 20 feet from any building or property line.

In addition, you are now able to get a permit to burn off grass in a large area or if you have an unusually large pile of brush to burn.

These activities were not allowed prior to this ordinance.

You can still only burn yard waste that originated on your property.

If you would like to see the entire ordinance feel free to contact Gallatin City Hall or Chief Richards at 660-663-9512.

Herbicide injury in horticultural crops b y T im

B a k er, M U R egiona l H ortic u ltu rist This week, I would like to mention measures and resources that both growers and applicators might want to consider to avoid these situations. The first resource that I will mention is good for both growers and applicators.

It is a web-based map of sensitive crops called DriftWatch. You can find this site at driftwatch.org.

There are also two related web sites, FieldWatch and BeeCheck.

The latter site is for beekeepers who are concerned about insecticide drift.

The grower or beekeeper uses these sites by identifying the location of their farm on an aerial map on the web. Applicators who might be concerned about damaging nearby crops can consult the map to see if there are any sensitive crops or bees nearby.

Another great resource for applicators is a web site that predicts the likelihood of thermal inversions. This is especially important for herbicides that are subject to volatility problems. It can be found at: http://agebb. missouri.edu/weather/realTime/maps/index.php#temp_ inversion. For growers, a great way to help avoid problems is simply to talk to your neighbors who may need to spray chemicals that could drift and cause damage to your crops. Some applicators are simply not aware of how sensitive and valuable many horticultural crops are.

So what do you do if your crop is damaged by a non-labeled, offtarget herbicide? First, be sure that it really is chemical damage.

And, if there is damage, whether the herbicide is capable of the extent of damage which occurred.

Sometimes, while there may or may not be herbicide damage symptoms, the actual damage of the crop was caused by something else, such as disease.

You might also look around.

Have other species of plants been damaged? Look at nearby weeds. Are they showing similar symptoms?

If the damage is truly caused by the herbicide, you might want to consider calling the Missouri Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Pesticide Control. They have trained inspectors all around the state who can come to your farm to see what might have occurred. They will take samples to send to a lab. You do have to be willing to sign a letter of complaint.

There is one precaution about samples. I recently gave a presentation at the Indiana Horticulture Congress, a meeting similar to our Great Plains Growers Conference. One of the sessions that I attended was a workshop

on herbicide injury. One speaker mentioned that while a positive lab result will prove that a herbicide was present on the damaged sample, a negative result will not be conclusive. Some herbicides break down very quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours. By the time you see the damage, the herbicide has broken down and is gone.

The Constitutional Separation of Powers Part One:

The Wisdom of the Framers The Framers of our Constitution understood human behavior and created a system of government that would protect our nation from the worst of those human instincts. Humans are emotional and capable of actions they might later regret. Humans love power and may not exercise that power in the best of fashions.

The Constitution was written to guard against these instincts.

England and the failed attempt to govern ourselves in the Articles of Confederation.

They wanted to learn from these experiences and create something better.

James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, argued that if there was concern about the abuse of power by government, then we should stop putting all the power of government into a single set of hands.

One of the ways The King possessed the Framers sought all the power under But the great security against a gradual to accomplish colonial rule, which concentration of the this was with the led to tyranny. several powers in the same separation of powers Under the Articles department, consists in giving into legislative, of Confederation, to those who administer each executive and judicial all the power was department, the necessary branches.

Their other branches and in solution was to turn would each be checked by the other create a substantial federal government, branches. This system of separation of but divide power between a Congress, a powers and its web of checks and balances President and a Supreme Court. was designed to allow government to rise It is essential to remember the Framers above human frailty. were not focused on creating a system of In 1787, the Framers arrived in government that would get things done Philadelphia to construct a new system of quickly or easily. Their greatest concern government with two events fresh in their was the emergence of a single force within minds: the abuse of power by the King of the government that would become so

powerful it threatened the principles that formed the foundation of this new system: limited government, commitment to the rule of law and protection of civil liberties.

This was the initial wisdom that allowed us to flourish as a constitutional republic.

Newspaper Connections Use newspapers or news websites to find articles about the three branches of the federal government and the various ways they provide checks and balances on each other.

Examples include a congressional committee investigating travel by Cabinet members or the Supreme Court hearing arguments about whether gerrymandering of voting maps can lead to Constitutional violations.

Once an article is identified, you should be able to provide a summary of the circumstances explained within the piece and what examples of checks and balances are occurring.

They voted to set the wolf free!

B rent E lliott Recently, Jason Kanoy, Associate Circuit Judge of Caldwell County, has retried the case of one of our most dastardly villains – the Big Bad Wolf — just as he has done every year for the last three years. First grade students in Caldwell County are invited to the circuit courtroom in Kingston to participate and witness our jury system in operation.

Judge Kanoy presides over the trial where students are selected to serve as jurors and consider the charge of attempted huffing and puffing and assault on a pig. Circuit Clerk Carrie Miller performs her clerkly duties and processes the charges.

Caldwell County Prosecuting Attorney Brady Kopek does a masterful job of presenting the prosecution’s case. He provides testimony from the Little Pig, played by County Jail Administrator Leanne Jorns (decked out in charming pig regalia).

Local attorney Melinda Troeger defends the Big Bad Wolf, portrayed by Deputy Sheriff Dennis Lund (complete with a fierce wolf’s costume). The Wolf claimed he simply had a cold and

went to the Pig’s house for medicine. He sneezed and accidently knocked the house down.

Upon completion of the testimony, the 12 student jurors vote on the fate of the Wolf. For the record, the Big Bad Wolf was acquitted this year and set free to once again roam about our woodlands!

It is, in my humble opinion, a wonderful blend of judicial education and fun. I will try to give you a “heads-up” next year so you can observe this infamous trial from the gallery.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING: I recently attended a human trafficking awareness program and was shaken by some of the statistical information. Kansas City and St. Louis rank fourth and fifth, respectively, in the U.S. as major destinations for human trafficking. These midwestern cities rank higher than either Los Angeles or New York.

The average age of a human trafficking victim is 12-14 years old. Our interstate transportation system provides easy access to these metropolitan areas from our rural communities.

Kudos to our law enforcement, school, and community officials who are working to fight these problems. They need your help.

Be aware and be wary!

Altamont man jailed after assault Jareld D. Curtis, Sr. of Altamont was arrested at 7:05 p.m. April 28 after he assaulted a male subject in the presence of multiple witnesses at 516 E. Third Street in Altamont.

According to the probable cause statement, Curtis, 47, also operated a 1998 Ford Explorer on Quartz Avenue while intoxicated. Multiple witnesses stated that they observed him consuming alcohol in Gallatin and he then left to drive home.

While at the scene of the assault, Curtis admitted that he drove the vehicle home from Gallatin.

Curtis also left the scene of an accident, when he struck a ditch while driving the Explorer and

blew his front driver’s side tire.

He struck a bank and overcorrected the vehicle, then continued to drive with the blown tire for a distance before leaving the vehicle at roadside and returning home. Curtis also admitted that he drove the vehicle, which was not registered with the Department of Revenue, without maintaining financial responsibility.

Curtis was transported to Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail, charged with assault 3rd degree, leaving the scene, DWI, failure to register, and failure to maintain financial responsibility. Bond is set at $10,000 cash only.

Lee Rogers at the Roman Forum

Reliving Rome V ince Rogers at the Circus Maximus

V ince and Lee Rogers at the Italian Capitol H ill

Lee Rogers at the Trevi Fountain (2 018 ); V ince Rogers at St. Peter’s Basilica, The V atican (2 018 )

Reliving the same trip 27 years later, Lee Rogers (GHS 1996) visited his older brother Vince Rogers (GHS 1984) in Rome, Italy, where they recreated several of the same photos in locations around the ancient city. The brothers are the sons of Madelynn and Steve Adkison of Jameson and the late Bob Rogers of Gallatin.

Both brothers have been busy since leaving Gallatin. Vince, a Catholic priest and pastor of St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Gladstone, MO, is completing a 6-month sabbatical which includes time in Rome where he spent five years in the early 1990s in the seminary.

Lee is a podiatric surgeon, author, and public speaker who now lives in Las Vegas. Lee founded a network of Amputation Prevention Centers in 2009 and stopped his clinical practice 2 years ago. Lee has given speeches in all 50 states and about 30 countries and sets up systems for limb salvage for those with diabetes.

After revisiting some of the Roman ruins over 2,000 years old, the brothers took time to travel to Egypt to visit the 4,500-year-old pyramids of Giza and view papyrus with hieroglyphics from the era.

Aside from aging physically, friends and classmates would probably still recognize the brothers’s senses of humor, propensity to joke around, wit, and compassion for people. It was their mother who found the 27-yearold pictures and suggested they recreate the images.

Of course, Vince and Lee accepted the challenge.
