Pie ‘served’ to Gallatin police as summer school ends Chief Mark Richards along with Oﬃcers Jarod McKee and Seth Allen were at the Gallatin R-5 Middle School Friday… just in time for pie! Barron Gann, summer school administrator, arranges the treat for those students who record perfect attendance for the week. Mr. Gann drew eight names and those students get to deliver a pie to the volunteers. Usually the volunteers are teachers. But Friday, Gallatin policemen happened to be available. Delivering the pies are Rebekah Flanders and Jalyn Taylor. Yesterday, June 27, was the last day of summer school. Students went to Chilli Bay Water Park at Chillicothe to celebrate.

‘Get Thee to the Fair’ by Freida Marie Crump

A salute to truth There are lots of ways to think patriotic as we approach another Independence Day. Let’s be a little more creative than just finding a longer punk to light another firecracker. Who’s Francis Blair? Here’s a hint. He’s one of two Missourians memorialized by a statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection you can see as you vacation in Washington, D.C — at least for now. This is an elite honor. Each state in our union is limited to display only two statues depicting persons notable in their history. The hall is magnificent in its splendor. It is built in the shape of an ancient amphitheater. Its walls are painted plaster to accent colossal columns of marble, black and white marble tile flooring, and sandstone. A lantern in the fireproof cast-iron ceiling emits natural light. The hall was actually the second and third meeting place for the House of Representatives. The current hall was built after invading British troops burned the Capitol in 1814. Many important events took place in this chamber, including the inauguration of five presidents. The government relocated into chambers with better acoustics in 1850. Francis Blair of Missouri is one of the statues on display here. The 100 memorial statues are donated by each state for national display. The two representing the Show-Me State are Francis Blair and Thomas Benton. So, are Blair and Benton familiar to you? Odds are, more Missourians today know the painter, Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975). Our kids have memories of vacation hours spent in the car driving to wherever, listening to folk music mostly about Missouri. A family favorite is a tune about Benton, “after he painted these walls,” a song about the controversy in accepting Benton’s mural on display in our statehouse because it offers an unabridged history, including Indians and whiskey, brothel lovers, the back end of a mule while plowing, boss Tom Pendergast, a baby’s bare bottom, slaves ... and so much more. For a statue of Benton to be in the national hall comes as little surprise to me. At my back, as I type these words in my office,

hangs a framed photograph of a portion of that same statehouse mural by Benton. It depicts the notorious James Boys robbing a train within an old west background. Benton, even within an artist’s license to revise, revealed truths in our state’s history ... even as some condemned his choice of topics as offensive. He chose truth over popularity. Benton said that his Missouri mural was his best work. I like the photo, not only to appreciate Benton’s unique artistic style of realism but because it reminds me of press association trips to Jeff City while at this newspaper’s helm. I took this snapshot

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

using a 35mm film Nikon (now an antique camera) while on a statehouse tour not long after Gallatin Theatre League performed the re-enactment of the 1883 Trial of Frank James here. Nobody else would treasure a “cheap” photo knockoff of an authentic mural. But for me, what I placed in that frame offers a flood of living history, so to speak. Like Benton, each one of the statues honoring a noteworthy life in the National Statuary Hall has a unique story still meaningful in the lives of others. So, what about Blair? Francis Blair (1821-1875) was an American jurist, politician and soldier. He is perhaps best remembered for his efforts in preventing Missouri from being absorbed into the Confederacy — a very important development at the beginning of the Civil War. He commanded a division at Vicksburg under Gen. Sherman and took part in Sherman’s famous March to the Sea. After the war, Blair was a vice-presidential candidate. But, despite all this and more, he’s hardly a household name. That’s why there’s an effort underway to replace the statue of Francis Blair with a statue of Harry Truman. The project is spearheaded by the Truman Library Institute and supported by Missouri’s current congres-

sional delegation. This proposal for a new statue is in addition to efforts to rename Washington D.C.’s Union Station to the “Harry S. Truman Union Station.” No doubt Blair was up to the challenge of his part in the particularly distressing times of our Civil War. Truman, likewise, stands firm in our history as World War II ended and the beginning of the Cold War was defined. No one has to explain who Harry Truman is. His straighttalking, common sense style and leadership is widely known and admired today. For many, Truman defines the very essence in characterizing the Show-Me State. I have a copy of that famous black-and-white photograph at home showing Truman holding up a Chicago newspaper which erroneously declared “Dewey Defeats Truman!” Somehow, even during times when I’m most discouraged, I reflect on how the big shots labeled Truman as the underdog, the little guy that doesn’t matter. And yet, there stands Truman smiling, triumphant. Suddenly, regardless of private headaches or heartaches, I feel that I too, may yet find my time to smile. Firecracker Day is not only a celebration of our Declaration of Independence but a time to celebrate those who helped insure our freedoms all along the way. It’s hard to pick just two persons as most notable in Missouri’s history. But it’s hard to think of anyone who represents our state any more than Harry Truman. Truman is widely known for what he placed on his desk in the White House, a small plaque stating: “The Buck Stops Here.” It precisely proclaims a straightforward truth, one that another American icon, John Wayne, might have put to voice. But imagery aside, it’s Truman’s real tenacity in the quest for truth that we most respect and admire today. Whether by statue or in memory, let’s celebrate Truman as “Missouri’s Favorite Son” and one of America’s most respected presidents. Both Truman and Benton never shied away from hard truths. And in different ways, each excelled at recognizing truth and then acting correctly upon it. May we also be so inspired. Now... let’s go light a firecracker!

Greetings from Poosey. I’ve heard it rumored that there are a few folks out there who have children and actually make decisions on where the kids go and what they do. Sure, they’re dwindling. If you are the type of mom or dad who can actually determine your family’s activities, let me give you a bit a happy advice: Get Thee to the Big County Fair! Yes, I know it’s likely to be hot, you may get rained on, you’ll get your shoes muddy, dusty or sticky, and flies may be difficult. Those are all first world problems, honey. Get thee to the fair. My earliest recollections of county fairs are filled with the sights of neon lights, squashed lemons on the grass, carnival dogs, t-shirted-wearing carnies with cigarettes hanging out of the sides of their mouths, plus the sounds of competing speaker systems, the “Come right up!” of the carnival barkers, and the excited squeals of little girls at the Tilt-a-Whirl rounding the far curve. Then we started showing cattle at the fair and could actually stay overnight. The trick is to keep the steer from rolling over on you at 2 a.m. But I tremble to imagine an entire generation of children who might live their whole lives never having seen “Magnito, The Electric Man” (a guy who held a fluorescent bulb between his hands and made it light up on command), “The Mummy” (“Gummy” is more like it since it resembled something you’d wipe off the bottom of your shoe), “The Oldest Woman in the World” (I think this was the lady we saw selling lemon shakeups the night before), and “The Four Headed Pig” (which happened to have died years earlier, but they were nice enough to stuff him and sew on three more heads). Yes, it’s cheap and tawdry but you’ll always get your money’s worth in the form of pure Americana. “But Mommy, is the fair air-conditioned?” No, honey. “Is there something to eat?” Yes, it’s the Big County Fair that once-a-year allows you to stuff yourself with sugar, salt, and grease. “What if I don’t have any fun?” Then you belong to your father’s side of the family. And one more suggestion, cruise through the midway but visit the livestock barns. With such a tiny percentage of our population living on farms, this may be a great chance for your kids to see living, breathing animals. Those boys and girls down in the show barns appreciate someone taking an interest in their cattle and you can bet these are some of the most well behaved heifers you’ll ever find. And don’t forget the sheep. The kids in the sheep barn hardly ever get any visitors. Although freak shows have pretty much passed into the land of wet sawdust and old corndogs, every carnival worth its cotton candy still has a fun house — a house of mirrors or trailer full of slanted floors and wind compressors. Take your little girl’s hand and go on in. Oh, it’ll be silly and cheap and a bit frayed around the corner but some day she’ll be able tell her own daughter about this thing called the Big County Fair that took place back before people refused to leave the house if the temperature crept above 80. And if you still need more reason to patronize your local community by way of its county fair, think about the people. They may be clutching their cell phones as they climb aboard the Ferris wheel, but you’ll see the real flesh and blood faces of your neighbors and friends, not digital images on a screen. You will talk. I swear you will. Right there under the grandstand for the demolition derby you’ll run into someone you’ve not seen in ages, and as the local boys bang up their Uncle Pete’s Chevy, you’ll discover something that you’d nearly forgotten: real conversation. Okay, download your videos, fly your family to the Bahamas, and install a home theatre. But at least once this summer, put little Johnny in a basket, threaten his older sister Suzie with grounding, then Get Thee to the Big County Fair! You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Farmers need simple tax code that works easily by K al en a B ruc e

Farming is a tough job that shows no mercy. Whether facing a drought or flood, unreasonably high interest rates or unbelievably low commodity prices, farmers and ranchers work tirelessly to produce food, fiber and renewable fuels for the world. While most of the factors that affect farming and ranching are out of our control, Congress can move forward with comprehensive tax reform that gives farmers and ranchers the flexibility they need to make sound business planning decisions. Tax reform is a popular topic in Washington, D.C., these days. As both a rancher and certified public accountant, I believe the conversation on this topic should begin by addressing cost recovery. All farmers and ranchers — no matter the size of their farm business — should be able to use cash accounting, a bookkeeping method that allows small businesses to match income when cash is received with expenses when they are paid. This method is important to many smallbusiness owners–like farmers — because of its simplified bookkeeping process. Most farmers cannot afford to employ an accountant and do not require a

CPA to keep the books because of the way their businesses are structured. Cash accounting allows farmers and ranchers to manage their cash flow and plan for expected price increases to inputs like fuel, feed and fertilizer. Business interest expense and state and local taxes are two of the highest operating expenses for farms and ranches. With cash accounting, farmers can deduct expenses immediately to free up cash to put right back into their businesses. Farmers can also maximize tax efficiency by deferring the tax on revenue earned but not yet received. This leaves them free to make savvy decisions like storing a commodity until they can ensure a fair price for it. Can you imagine paying taxes on your income before getting your paycheck? Similarly, paying taxes on a crop that hasn’t been sold yet would be disastrous for a farm business. Most farmers and ranchers would have to get a loan each year to pay the tax on stored commodities, effectively increasing the cost of growing that crop. As a young rancher, I find myself in uncertain times just like the generations of ranchers who

came before me. Not only am I tasked with raising my family in an ever-changing world, but I’m also trying to farm more with less due to high business costs, consumer misperceptions and urban sprawl. The continuation and expansion of cash accounting is just

one slice of the comprehensive tax reform pie that is critical to the business of agriculture. I can’t control the weather, the cost of fuel or the prices I’ll receive at market, but I can — and I do — expect my congressional lawmakers to ensure federal tax provisions put small business

Dear Editor, I am a senior citizen who lives in low-income senior and disability housing. When I moved into my apartment (my home) I made the statement, “I will not move again until I am carried out.” Now I am concerned I will not be “carried out” but “forced out” because of the attempt by the current Missouri Legislature to repeal the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) law which assists tens of thousands of lowincome Missouri citizens like me in obtaining permanent shelter at a lower rate of rent. If LIHTC is repealed, it will mean senior and disabled citizens, as well as low-income families, will see an increase in their rent. Many will lose their homes because they will not be able to

afford the increased rent. And there will not be any more quality low-income housing built unless the LIHTC law is repealed. A friend, who lives in the same senior housing that I do, created an online petition to fight the repeal of the LIHTC law. We are hoping many more will help us fight this repeal by signing the online petition at: https:// petitions.moveon.org/sign/prevent-repeal-of-low. Please help us fight the repeal of the LowIncome Housing Tax Credit law by signing the petition.

Danger in illegal immigration by Co n g res s man S am G rav es

On July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kate Steinle was tragically shot and killed while walking the streets of San Francisco with her father. The bullet came from a gun stolen by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an immigrant who had re-entered this country illegally after being deported for committing a separate crime. This week, the U.S. House will vote on H.R. 3004, legislation that will increase the criminal penalties for deported felons who come back into the United States. Kate’s Law, as it is also known, is designed to prevent any American from facing a tragedy like

Kate Steinle and her family did two years ago Saturday. I’ve always said that there is nothing wrong with legal immigration. But it has to be legal. The problem is that some misguided federal policies -- and certain cities across the country -- fail to recognize the dangers of illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is just that -- illegal. And regardless of the reason they are here, illegal immigrants are still living here illegally. One of the things that frustrates me most about Washington, D.C., is that people seem to forget that. The horrible death of Kate

Steinle highlights the real consequences of Sanctuary Cities and weak illegal immigration laws. Even though Lopez-Sanchez had seven felony convictions and had been deported multiple times, he was still released by the San Francisco Sheriff ’s Office when detained prior to Steinle’s death. There is no reason why any city in this country should refuse to enforce laws against illegal immigrants. It punishes everyone who follows our laws, it sends the wrong message to the rest of the world, and it can have devastating consequences for our people. I will vote for a bill this week so that this never happens again.

Special Session #2 is still in progress. Here’s the recap. On June 7, Gov. Greitens called the special session to address issues pertaining to abortion, particularly safety regulations of abortion clinics and a St. Louis discrimination ordinance. On June 15, the Senate passed SB5 in response to the governor’s call. The version passed was a bit watered down compared to its language when filed. The House then took up and amended SB5 to more closely resemble the original language, and passed it on June 20. Because the Senate and House passed different versions, the legislative ball is now back in the Senate’s court. The Senate will reconvene the week of June 27.to decide if they will pass the House version, or reject it and go to conference to work out the differences. In my first two years in the House of Representatives, Gov. Nixon never called a special session. This year, Governor Greitens has already called two. Some discussion has occurred among legislators and the press as to whether there will be any more special sessions. Possible topics for another special session have included prevailing wage, prescription drug monitoring, education reform, and tort reform. All of these topics had bills that passed the House, but ran out of time in the Senate at the end of regular session. Most feel the need to call a special session (sometimes called an extraordinary session) requires an urgent matter that cannot wait until the next regu-

lar session begins in January. But the Missouri Constitution does not mandate urgency. It says “On extraordinary occasions he (the governor) may convene the general assembly by proclamation, wherein he shall state specifically each matter on which action is deemed necessary” [Article IV, Section 9]. So, it is up to the governor’s discretion to determine what issues rise to the level of justifying a special session. The Constitution also limits the length of a governor-called special session to “…the sixtieth calendar day after the date of its convening in special session unless it has adjourned sine die prior thereto” [Article III, Section 20(a)]. A special session can also be called by the legislature. “Upon the filing with the secretary of state of a petition stating the purpose for which the session is to be called and signed by threefourths of the members of the senate and three-fourths of the members of the house of representatives, the president pro tem of the senate and the speaker of the house shall by joint proclamation convene the general assembly in special session” [Article III, Section 20(b)]. Knowing the interim responsibilities that legislators have to their communities, families, and regular jobs, I don’t foresee the legislature calling a special session anytime soon. As SB5 progresses and this special session evolves, I will keep you informed through my reports. I welcome your comments about the bill, the session, or anything else.

James, who lives in Gallatin, said he’s always wanted to start such a project. “I’ve had a passion for flea markets since growing up in California,” he said. “Out there, the big outdoor movie theaters were converted into flea markets and you could spend all day going around to the different vendors.” In order to get his project off the ground, he has advertised and gone door-to-door to contact local vendors. He has vendors expressing interest from Excelsior Springs, Lawson, HigJ am es H aw k s ginsville, Jamesport, Stanberry, and all over. The booths will be arts, crafts, antiques and collectibles and Bonvera products. He is hoping the Amish produce vendors will come out. “This won’t be garbage,” he said. “It will be useful items. You won’t have to drive all over town looking for a garage sale or yard sale. Everybody will be in one spot in a good location.” James, who works as a metal scrapper, handyman, landscaper and delivery driver at the Gallatin Publishing Company, does woodworking in his spare time. He repurposes pallet lumber and old barn board to make coffee tables, inn tables, bar stool chairs and knick knacks. His father, Bill Hodges, will be selling his custom benches, “Design a Bench by Bill.” His mother, Becky Hodges, will also be at the flea market with her “It’s a Wrap” concession trailer. “I’m just a country boy with a strong work ethic and a passion to sell useful stuff,” James said. “If this goes really big, I plan to rent the empty building by the lot and have the flea market year round.” There is room for about 20 vendors in that parking lot and the area can be expanded onto the hill. James will have silk flag banners on Hwy. 13 to make the flea market easy to find. If you have items you want to sell, contact him at 660-973-4488 or Becca Hodges at 660-973-1649.

grass and trees. • Always have water handy. A water hose close by is excellent. • Always store your fireworks safely, preferably in a closed box, away from any source of accidental ignition. • Always store your fireworks in a cool, dry place. • Always light only one item at a time. • Never try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks. • Never give ANY firework item to small children. • Never throw or point fireworks at another person. • Never carry fireworks in your pocket. • Never shoot (fire) fireworks from metal or glass containers. • Never experiment with, modify or attempt to make your own fireworks. • PETS can be frightened by loud noises and bright flashes. Keep your pets indoors while enjoying your fireworks. In addition to local fireworks laws, illegal explosives have been outlawed by federal law since 1966. The laws against such dangerous devices are enforced by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF), and the mere possession of such items can result in you being federally prosecuted with substantial monetary

penalties and jail time attached to a conviction. In addition to the criminal aspect of possession of such items, they are very dangerous, and you subject yourself and those around you to severe injury if you use these items. Illegal explosives are not fireworks. They can contain hundreds times more pyrotechnic loading than the legal firecrackers. For instance, by definition and federal law, a legal firecracker can contain no more than 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic composition. A full-dose aspirin typically contains 325 mg. of composition, therefore the pyrotechnic composition in a legal firecracker is actually less than one sixth (1/6) the size of a full dose aspirin. Compare this to what is commonly referred to as an M-80, which contains approximately 7 grams of powder, about 140 times the legal limit. M-100s contain about 20 grams of powder, about 400 times the legal limit. Other unsafe items include cherry bombs and sparkler bombs. Officers will be patrolling and enforcing the firework laws in Gallatin. Violations could result in fireworks being confiscated. Contact the Gallatin Police Department at 660-663-3580.

Jameson graduate retires after 33 years at UMKC

On June 23, after 33 years, Debby (Swinney) Dilks retired from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Computing and Engineering. Debby is the daughter of the late Martin and Doris Swinney of Pattonsburg. She attended Pattonsburg school and graduated from Jameson R-3. When a person works that long with one school, they take on many different responsibilities and roles, but the one Debby enjoyed the most at UMKC was working with the undergraduate engineering, computer science and information technology students. Not only did she advise them academically, but she also advised seven different student organizations through the years. Most recently she advised the Eta Kappa Nu Honor Society, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and was one of the founding members of the UMKC Robot Team. The school chose to recognize Debby with an award that is now

Road work planned The following is a listing of general highway maintenance and construction work that is planned in the Northwest Missouri region through July 2 from the Missouri Department of Transportation. Roadwork for Daviess County includes: U.S. Route 69 – From Pence Road (DeKalb County) to I-35 for a resurfacing project, includes a 10-foot width restriction; Route 190 – From Route 6 to Route U for a resurfacing project. A pilot car will direct traffic through the work zone. This includes a 10-foot width restriction. In addition to the work listed, there may be pothole patching, bridge maintenance, striping, brush cutting, guardrail repairs and other road work conducted throughout the region. Many of these will be moving operations and could include lane closures with delays. All scheduled maintenance and construction projects are subject to change. MoDOT reminds the public to stay alert, watch for road work, buckle up, slow down, and drive with extreme caution through work zones and in changing weather conditions. Road work earlier in the week in Daviess County included the following: Route MM was closed from Route 13 to the end of state maintenance for a resurfacing project; Route TT had a chip seal, June 26-27; Route D – From Route J to Route CC got pothole patching; Route N was closed from I-35 to U.S. Route 69 for a resurfacing project.

named after her, The SCE Debby Dilks Award For Excellence in Organization Advising. Her work with the robot team also inspired the school to recognize her with two additional honors. The robot team has been renamed The Debby Dilks Robotics Team, and the new robot lab will be called the Debby Dilks Ro-

bot Lab in honor of her 33 years of outstanding and commendable service. Debby lives outside of Sibley. She said her main goal, now that she is retired, is to publish a book about her mother and her experiences growing up in Jameson and working in Kansas City in the 1930s and ‘40s.

Colt Bohannon, environmental public health specialist at the Daviess County Health Department, has provided the following tips on barbeques and food safety. •Transporting: When carrying food to another location, keep it cold to minimize bacterial growth. •Use an insulated cooler with sufficient ice or ice packs to keep the food at 41 °F or below. •Pack food right from the refrigerator into the cooler immediately before leaving home. •Keep Cold Food Cold: Keep meat and poultry refrigerated until ready to use. Only take out the meat and poultry that will immediately be placed on the grill. •When using a cooler, keep it out of the direct sun by placing it in the shade or shelter. Avoid opening the lid too often, which lets cold air out and warm air in. •Cook Thoroughly: Cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy harmful bacteria. Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has

reached a safe minimum internal temperature. •Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145 °F. •Hamburgers made of ground beef should reach 160 °F. •All cuts of pork should reach 160 °F. •All poultry should reach a minimum of 165 °F. •Keep Hot Food Hot: After cooking meat and poultry on the grill; keep it hot until served — at 135 °F or warmer. •Serving Food: When taking food off the grill, use a clean platter. Don’t put cooked food on the same platter that held raw meat or poultry. Any harmful bacteria present in the raw meat juices could contaminate safely cooked food. •In hot weather (above 0 F), food should never sit out for more than one hour.

RECORDS

BRO trade with Pike County is declined MoDOT has declined the trade agreement that the COMMISSION commission had recently worked out with Pike County. Commissioners had signed an agreement with the Pike County Commission to exchange $100,000 of Pike County Soft Match credits for $100,000 of BRO (Bridge Replacement Off-System) funds from the Daviess County Commission. John Dwiggins of Howe & Company was present to discuss the situation with the commissioners. MoDOT declined the trade due to the fact that Daviess County had three deficient bridges already in the program. Daviess County cannot trade soft match funds with Pike County until actual costs of the three bridges are confirmed. The county BRO balance must also be confirmed. John Dwiggins is working with Jefferson City and MoDOT to resolve the issue. Ross Williams, brush operator, discussed machine issues with commissioners. James Lewis, road and bridge supervisor, met with commissioners regarding issues around the county. Crews are spraying weeds around the storage area and maintenance barn.

Deaths

L ois H oug h ton Services for Lois Houghton will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 1, 2017, at the Gallatin First Baptist Church where visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Friends may call after 11 a.m. Friday at McWilliams Funeral Home in Gallatin. Burial is at Greenwood Cemetery near Gallatin. Memorial contributions may be made to the Gallatin First Baptist Church in care of McWilliams Funeral Home. Lois M. Houghton, 91, formerly of Gallatin, died June 26, 2017. Lois was born April 17, 1926, at her parents’ home near Gallatin. She was the second child born to George and Elizabeth (Holmes) Terrill. She attended Gallatin school most of her school days, but attended Jameson school for sixth grade, and seventh and eighth grade at a one-room country school. Her high school graduation at Gallatin was in 1944. When she was a senior in high

school, she started working at the Davis Drug store where she met Bill Houghton. They were married Sept. 22, 1946, at her parents’ home in Gallatin and they resided on a farm six miles north of Gallatin. In 1974, the couple made their home on the third generation farm north of Gallatin where Bill and Lois lived most of their life. Lois had many positions such as working for Head Start, working at the Gallatin Library, and her last position was being secretary at the Winston school. Lois became a Christian early in life. She was always active in the First Baptist Church in Gallatin, teaching Sunday School, leading Girls Auxiliary or singing in the choir. Lois was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her parents, and her older sister. Lois is survived by her son Ron Houghton and wife Judy of Lee’s Summit; daughter Martha Allen and husband Larry of Bellevue, Neb., brothers, Jule (Bev-

erly) Terrill of Gallatin and Don (Arlene) Terrill of Muskegon, Mich., seven grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “What may be known of God is manifest ...ever since creation, His invisible attributes are clearly seen” (Romans 1: 19-20). Despite God's clear manifestation of Himself, some deny His reality. If one doesn't want to believe, he/she denies, despite evidence to the contrary. For example, there are some who want us to believe that faith in God is not part of our national heritage. Allow me to respond to that denial: 1. Near the top of our Supreme Court building, there is a row of the world's lawgivers. Each one is facing the middle lawgiver, Moses, who is holding the Ten Commandments. 2. As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom you must pass through two huge oak doors engraved with the Ten Commandments. 3. Bible verses are etched in stone all over Federal buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C. 4. Every session of Congress begins with a prayer offered by a minister whose salary has been paid by taxpayers since 1777. 5. Every coin in your purse reads “In God we trust.” Many other observations could be added to the list above. Yet, there are those who say it is not so. I can be sympathetic with those who disagree with Biblical principles. I even support the separation of church and state, theocracies have a repugnant story; but let's not rewrite history. Years ago, a young 16-year-old needed a job. Her birth certificate said she was 16, but she changed it to read 17. She got the job; but she still was only 16. You can't rewrite history. Despite our noble beginnings, our country struggles with doing right. Noble rhetoric is easy. Noble living is difficult. The national dilemma about displaying the Ten Commandments is but one indication of our struggle. Yet, moral principles need to be stated and taught. The Ten Commandments, for example, were given to people who had been slaves for 400 years. They needed instructions about how to live with one another. Our country is about to celebrate its 241st birthday and we are still struggling with how to live with one another. Are you aware that our struggle about displaying the Ten Commandments is not about obeying them? The struggle is about reading them. Those who want to disobey them or ignore them don't want anyone to read them. I have a very wise friend who noted, “The best place to display the Ten Commandments is on your kitchen table.” Ah, so!

City makes appointments to zoning board, updates to park board

Gallatin Mayor Barb Ballew recommended the following appointments and terms for the Planning & Zoning Board: Joe Griffin until June 2020 and Allan Lunsford until June 2021. The board accepted the recommendations. The Dockery Park Board recommended updating Article 8, Section 7, Subsection A of the bylaws to state the following: This committee shall exercise supervision over all recreation programs within the park system. They may delegate responsibilities for specific recreational activities to other board members or hired sports coordinator. The hired sports coordinator may make minor purchases based on available budget funds. Expenditures more than $500 must be

presented at a regularly scheduled park board meeting for prior approval. The board accepted the change. Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for June 26: 1 - Suspicious person, circumstance; 1 - theft, bike; 1 - fire; 1 - court order violation; 1 - property damage, not vandalism; 1 - animal problem; 2 - traffic accident with damage; 1 - harassment; 1 animal problem; 1 - peace disturbance; 1 – theft. One arrest was made on a theft charge. There are five dogs in the pound. The police department would like to remind residents living in city limits that fireworks can only be fired on July 4. Bills in the amount of $40,547.05 were approved for payment. Discussion was held on the

People Service O&M Report for May. Ordinances were accepted authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract for services with Daviess County Arts Council and to sign and execute the joint development agreement with Friends of Gallatin, a not-forprofit corporation. And ordinance passed amending the annual budget for the City of Gallatin for fiscal year 2017 to adjust appropriations and/or expenditures in various funds. The stage truck to be used at the Chautauqua has been delivered. The city received a rough draft of the code book. Responses are due by November to finish the codification project. The board entered into closed

session to consider legal actions, causes of action or litigation involving a public governmental body, and any confidential or privileged communications between a public governmental body or its representatives and its attorneys; to consider the leasing, purchase or sale of real estate; and to consider the hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting of particular employees. The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the city of Gallatin held on Monday, June 26, at city hall. Present: Mayor Barb Ballew, President of Board John Whitfield, Aldermen Steve Evans, Carol Walker, Dan Lockridge, City Administrator Tony Stonecypher, City Clerk Hattie Bailey, Police Chief Mark Richards.

Cameron man seriously injured in accident, charged afterward and released to hospital Joshua Detherage, 23, Cameron, received serious injuries in an accident that happened at about 2:02 a.m. on June 24 in Daviess County. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Mr. Detherage was driving a 1991 Ford F150 westbound on Hwy. 6. About one mile east of Altamont, he traveled off the north side of the roadway, overcorrected, crossed the roadway, and traveled off the south side of the roadway. The pickup struck a tree and overturned, coming to rest on its passenger side off the south side of the roadway. Mr. Detherage was transported by Daviess County Ambulance to Altamont, then air-lifted by life flight to Liberty Hospital. He was not wearing his seat belt. The accident was investigated by Sgt. J.S. Johnson, assisted

by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and KAW Fire. Mr. Detherage was arrested at 3:13 a.m. on June 24 and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was released to Liberty Hospital for medical treatment.

B y W ayn e Fl an ary E x t en s io n A g ro n o mis t Japanese beetles emerge from the soil from June to August. We have received several calls from producers asking questions regarding this pest. Japanese beetles continue to expand on the area where they have been found. This is quite alarming to growers as they find a pest they are not familiar with in their fields. The Japanese beetle lives as a grub in the soil and feeds on roots of plants. As they emerge as beetles, they are metallic-green with bronze-colored wing covers. Just beneath the wing covers, along each side of the abdomen, are six tufts of white hair. To scout for beetles in corn and soybeans, check plants during the adult stage of the insect. Beetles tend to aggregate in large numbers so feeding damage appears worse than it is. Soybean economic thresholds are based on the percentage of defoliation, not the actual numbers of beetles. Feeding often begins at the top of the crop canopy. Thresholds for insecticide application are 30% defoliation before flow-

June 28, 2017 Local State Tech student makes dean’s list Colton Ellis of Jamesport made the spring 2017 dean’s list at State Technical College of Missouri.

Wounded Warrior competes in DOD Games by Rick Burke, Navy Office o f Co mmun it y O ut reac h U.S. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Christopher Mathena, a Cameron High School graduate, will join more than 250 seriously wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans at the Department of Defense Warrior Games June 30 – July 8 in Chicago, Ill. Mathena will be competing against athletes from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Special Operations Command. “To be invited to represent Team Navy in the upcoming Warrior Games is a humbling experience, especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” said Mathena. “It’s just a great feeling to be able to get out there and compete with other fellow warriors, especially for myself, as it has been a challenge to even get out of my house

and isolation to go anywhere.” During the nine days Mathena will compete in shooting and track and field. Mathena was selected for Team Navy after the competitive Wounded Warrior Trials in February at Naval Base Ventura County in Oxnard, Calif. Team Navy includes service members and veterans with upper-body, lower-body, and spinal cord injuries; traumatic brain injuries; visual impairment; serious illnesses; and post-traumatic stress.

The rink is long gone… but you can still get skates Judy Elbert will be selling between 75 and 100 pairs of roller skates from the Elbert’s Skating Rink in Gallatin. The collection includes white high-top ladies’ skates and black three-quartertop men’s skates and children’s skates.

The skates will bring back lots of memories for those who can recall gliding along the wooden floor in an endless circle and leaning into corners while going perilously fast. Others will remember the bumps and bruises from spins and flips and zigzags gone wrong, and may still have the scars to prove it. The roller rink, located on the south edge of Gallatin, was once a popular activity for children, teenagers, and adults. The skating rink has not been in business for many years and Judy said she has only sold a few skates in the past. “People who used to skate at the roller rink would ask to buy a pair just for the childhood nostal-

gia,” she said. Recently, when James Hawks asked to rent the lot bordering the rink for a flea market, he suggested that Judy put the rental skates up for sale. “They’re still usable; they have good wheels; they’re all in

pretty good shape,” Judy said. “They’ve been sitting for 25-30 years so they’re a little dusty. But they’re made of good leather and can easily be cleaned and reconditioned and put back into use.” Edward Elbert (Judy’s fatherin-law) and N.C. Bennett were partners in the building of the roller rink. N.C. was the contractor, and it was built it in 1964. Mr. Elbert and Mr. Bennett ran it together for five years. Mr. Bennett eventually lost interest, so Mr. Elbert bought his share. Mr. Elbert ran the roller rink until he passed away in 1975. After that, his wife, Margaret Pauline, ran it for the next two years. Carl and LaJoy Abbs leased and renovated the skating rink in 1977. After that, Bonnie Lowe had a video business in the building for a number of years. That was the last time the building was rented out for business. By far, the Elbert’s Skating Rink heyday was in the mid- to late 60s. “During those years, it was quite popular with the young people around here; there was skating every night,” said Judy. “On Friday and Saturday, there was an early night and then a late night session. Whole church congregations and other organizations would rent the building for skate parties on Sunday.” J o a s n L ove , L or en A dki ns, A l an W ood

Eddie Elbert was still running the rink during the heyday. “He loved skating, even when he was in his seventies,” Judy said. “He’d skate with the kids and have a wonderful time.” Judy’s late husband Spence was also involved with the skating rink and would go down almost

every night after working at the department store and stay until the rink closed. “Spence was a gifted skater. Me, not so much. Our oldest son, Slade, started skating at threeyears-old.” So far, Judy has sold 30 pairs of roller skates to a lady who is opening an activity center in

Richmond. She thinks other people will be interested in owning a pair of the skates for the nostalgia. “Just to have a piece of the past and remember they used to go there,” she said. Contact Judy at the Elbert’s Department Store in Gallatin if you are interested in the skates.
