Library to host stargazing nights, info sessions, and courthouse eclipse event On Aug. 21, an extremely rare event — a total solar eclipse — will take place along a narrow arched track stretching from Oregon to South Carolina. Daviess County is on this path! At approximately 1:08 p.m. on Aug. 21, various parts of Daviess County will experience one to two minutes of “totality” (total eclipse) during what space experts are calling the celestial event of the century. In anticipation of the total eclipse, from early to mid-August, the Daviess County Library will host several “NASA@mylibrary” sponsored programs for children and adults, including a large scale eclipse viewing event on the courthouse lawn on Aug. 21. All programs are free and open to the public. Below is the event lineup for the August 2017 “NASA@mylibrary” programs. Summer Under the Stars

Series, Friday, Aug. 4, and Friday, Aug. 11, from 7:30-9:30 p.m. in the library basement community room. This is a two-part stargazing series for seniors, adults, students, children, families — everyone! No signup is necessary. A presentation with a question-and-answer session by a NASA Night Sky Network expert will be followed by stargazing outside the library. Come to one or both events —each evening will have a different presenter. Bring your own telescope or use one of ours. Eclipse in a Nutshell, two noon-hour and evening sessions per day, Thursday, Aug. 17, and Friday, Aug. 18, from 12:15-12:45 p.m. and 7-7:30 p.m. These are four short informational sessions, primarily geared toward older children and adults. No signup is necessary. Designed as an eclipse primer so

community members can better understand what they will be seeing on Aug. 21 and why it is so special. Eclipse on the Courthouse Lawn & Community Photo, 112:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21. Beginning at 11 a.m., library staff will be on the courthouse lawn providing information about the eclipse and distributing 2,000 free pairs of solar viewing glasses. The public will be invited to “walk through” a large scaled model of the solar system set up on the lawn. A community photo will be taken at approximately 1 p.m. The total solar eclipse begins at approximately 1:08 p.m. All ages are welcome! The United States is the only country in the world which will experience this eclipse, and further, only a tiny portion of the USA will be able to see the eclipse in totality.

Flooding rivals 2007, even 1993 levels Storms Thursday night, June 29, and continued rain Friday, June 30, saturated the ground in northwest Missouri. Rivers and streams ran full and with nowhere else to go, the accumulating water collected on fields, drowning crops and closing highways. Area farmers watched their soybean and corn fields slowly succumb to the rising water. Larry Vaughn, a farmer at Pattonsburg, drove past Old Pattonsburg and as far south as Hwy. 69 would take him before the highway disappeared under a lake of blue. This was 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 30. No flood in recent memory has matched the devastating flood of 1993 which prompted the whole town of Pattonsburg to move uphill. But there have been other years when the Grand overflowed its banks. Historic crests for the Grand River are:

Mr. Vaughn looked out over the fluid fields, not sure whether this flood matched the one in 2007. “If it’s not the most water, then it doesn’t miss it by much,” he said. Mr. Vaughn owns 40 acres and rents 160 more. The land lies along the edges of the flood. He has soybeans on the right of Hwy. 69 and corn on the left. The soybeans are all under. The corn might not all be ruined, but he couldn’t get close enough at the time to tell. “You know every spring this (continued on page 12)

The fear of our hearts by Freida Marie Crump

The ties that bind He was just passing through, as so many do. But some people here still remember Dewey Combs. This 87-year-old man died from a sudden illness at his home in Carthage on June 25. He spent little more than a year here at Gallatin. His job at our school included coaching football — working to develop scrawny, mule-headed kids into confident young men. It was one of his former players who brought Combs’ obituary to my attention this week past. Combs was a coach and teacher with several schools during his 30-year career. The obituary listed a record of 231-65-14 for four different schools: Golden City, Gallatin, Trenton and at Joplin (for 19 years). Coach had undefeated Missouri state championship teams at Parkwood in Joplin in 1975, 1980 and 1983. His 1976 team was also undefeated, but due to the Missouri point system, the team was excluded from the playoffs — an omission which sparked a change in Missouri’s playoff point system. Dewey Combs was elected into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2010, having already been inducted into the Missouri High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1985. Just a couple of years ago, Joplin’s Junge Stadium was renamed the Dewey Combs Athletic Complex at Junge Field in tribute to the man who influenced so many lives over the years. Coach Combs may not be as familiar to you as Coach Bill Snyder of K-State fame, who also happened through Gallatin as a sort of “one year wonder.” But they both share the same trait, where greatness is not necessarily measured by the won-loss column but by those you touch along the way. An old friend shared a memory. Although decades have passed, his eyes still twinkled while recalling how the young

coach approached everything in a brisk, macho manner. His business was about instilling drive and competitiveness in youngsters soon to enter this dog-eatdog world — and his demand of your best effort included everyone in his contact, I’m told, even wannabe Bulldog youngsters too young for Red & Black uniforms who volunteered to work as team managers.

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Game scores have faded. My friend, in fact, remembers little about the practices or drills to hone athletic skills. His most vivid memory focuses on something much more important: A realization that the world doesn’t revolve just around you; the need to recognize authority as a necessary first building block. Coach Combs put it this way, something he said to all his underlings that evidently stuck: “Your soul may belong to God, but your _ _ _ belongs to me!” He’d probably get in trouble for saying something like that today. But every coach worth his salt plays some variation on that theme. And the truly great ones forge such a bond with players that words can be said bluntly. It describes a relationship where meaning transcends the exact words. Done correctly, coaching creates a bond that lasts a lifetime. Rest in peace, Coach Combs. Blest be the ties that bind. CORRECTION Last week I discussed Thomas Hart Benton, one of two statues in the National Statuary Hall from Missouri. The marble statue by Alexander Doyle is of

Thomas Hart Benton, famed soldier and legislator — and greatuncle to the artist also named Thomas Hart Benton. I apologize for mixing these two men with identical names, even merging these two different men into one. Let me set the ledger straight. The Benton memorialized by statue was born in North Carolina in 1782. His family migrated to Tennessee, where his father died. As a young man, Benton was left in charge of considerable land holdings; he established a law practice and served as a colonel in the War of 1812 under General Andrew Jackson. Moving to St. Louis in 1815, he practiced law and edited the second newspaper west of the Mississippi. An active supporter of statehood, he was elected in 1820 as one of the first two senators from Missouri and served for 30 years. He championed the cause of the yeoman farmer and the interests of the western territories. The demarcation of the United States-Canadian border at the 49° parallel was in accordance with his proposal. His staunch support of hard money (the antiUnited States Bank position) earned him the sobriquet, “Old Bullion.” He was recognized as a Senate leader for the Jackson and Van Buren administrations and an orator to challenge Clay, Webster, and Calhoun. In 1850 it was Benton’s outspoken anti-slavery views that cost him his Senate seat. Thus, despite my mistaken identity, the point of my column last week nevertheless holds. Thomas Hart Benton never shied away from hard truths. Again, I beg your pardon for my mistake. I thank our State Rep. J. Eggleston for pointing out my error (and, I can only think it underscores a need for me to vacation in Washington, D.C., and go straight to the National Statuary Hall — and soon — don’t you agree?)

Greetings from Poosey. I was standing in line behind at lady at the registration desk of a hotel in Dublin, Ireland, when I heard an interesting exchange. This gal was what they used to call the “Ugly American,” insisting that wherever she went it was to be just like her home back in the States. The desk clerk was trying to explain how to get to a nearby restaurant and his Irish accent absolutely dripped all over the registration desk. Delightful. But the dear idiot standing in front of me wasn’t even trying to understand him. She hurried away from the counter in disgust and as she passed me, she muttered, “You’d think these people would learn how to speak English.” Sweetheart, they were doing it a thousand years before Columbus bumped into the East Coast. Accents. I love ‘em. As the world becomes more homogenized and whipped into sameness our languages are still something that put a bit of spice in the simple act of living. Once upon wet evening in a London pub I sat with a group of seasoned travelers and we stumbled upon the subject of accents and because we were all Americans we could call them accents since few of us knew any foreign languages. I asked the group assembled about their favorite accents, the ones that truly delighted their ears. One of my fellow Midwest travelers claimed that nothing delighted her like a Scottish brogue. We’d just traveled south from Edinburgh and the tongue of the Highlands was fresh in our memories. All agreed that ordering a pint in a Scottish pub then simply sitting back and listening to the conversation was one of the true highlights to the land of Robert Burns and haggis. Opinions were split on the haggis itself. Another of our increasingly verbal congregation said that French was the world’s most beautiful language. He claimed that he could listen to a Parisian sewer worker describe his job and it would sound like poetry. I chimed in and told the group a study conducted in the 1950’s where a group of several hundred French men and women who knew no English listened to a list of English phrases then voted on which sounded the most beautiful to their French ears. The winner? “Cellar Door.” Interesting. With apologies to my Germanic friends, the language of the Fatherland didn’t fare so well in our little poll. They found it too guttural and one older member of our group who was a teen during World War II said that there were memories that he simply could not erase. He added that he couldn’t bring himself to buy a Japanese car, either. Russian also got several bottom votes due to recent events. Perhaps it’s history instead of our ears that forms our opinions on sounds. “But Spanish sings!” This from a New Jersey gal who had joined us from another touring group. “It absolutely sings! Nothing is more beautiful than a Spanish accent!” To be honest, I’d forgotten that Spanish was an accent since in our part of the world it’s as common as Midwestern English. The Italian accent got several votes. The general consensus was that although Spanish may sing, Italian bounces. There’s a reason you can tell to Italians across the street by the way they gesture with their hands. I’ve heard it said that when you handcuff an Italian he becomes speechless. Our bartender was enjoying the conversation and politely told us that the Cockney accent of London both sang and bounced and on occasion danced. He also put in a vote for the lilt of the Irish and the pigeon English of Jamaica. But then he added, “A sad thing when it comes to an end.” An end? Languages aren’t disappearing we told him. “Yes,” he said, “but the only time you have an accent is when you’re in a foreign nation. From what I’ve heard of you blokes you’re trying to shut down your borders, and we’re heading the same direction, aren’t we?” Our little table of tourists fell silent as we pondered a world where everyone spoke, acted, ate, laughed and lived like us. “That’s what happens,” he said, “when you let fear overcome your heart.” A sort of silence fell over our table. We sat there with surnames like an Irish “O’Hare,” an English “Miller,” an Italian “Coniglio,” and a German “Crump,” and wondered if our grandkids would ever hear anything but Midwestern English. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services began a systematic effort to trap and collect ticks at Meramec State Park. Following the collection process, the agencies began testing the ticks for any kind of tick-borne illness. According to the Department of Health and Senior Services, the two most common diseases spread by tick bites in Missouri are Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. The agencies are also testing for the Bourbon virus, a rare tickborne illness that has been found only four times in the United States. The agencies have confirmed they are investigating one case of the Bourbon virus in Missouri. Although Meramec State Park is an area of interest in the Bourbon virus investigation, health officials have advised that at this time there is no information to suggest the potential exposure risk at the park is any greater than anywhere else in Missouri. Accordingly, the park and all its facilities remain open to the public as the tick collection process continues. Missouri State Parks will continue to provide information to our visitors about how to protect themselves from tick bites, how to properly remove ticks and what to watch for if they do have a tick bite. These efforts include interpretive programs, information posted on bulletin boards and given to visitors. You can protect yourself from ticks with some simple steps: use repellant, wear long sleeves, don’t walk in tall grass.

Triumph Foods donates 33,000 pounds of meat to Second Harvest Recent food insecurity has become a little more secure. On June 28, Triumph Foods, L.L.C. of St. Joseph donated 33,000 pounds of premium pork products to Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Missouri. This donation of lean, high quality pork spare ribs, back ribs, hams, loins, tenderloins, pork steaks, and other cuts of meat is enough food to help provide over 100,000 meals across 19 counties. Second Harvest serves in Northwest Missouri and Northeast

Driver hurt when motorcycle hits deer A Savannah man was seriously injured in a deer versus motorcycle accident that happened at about 9 p.m. on July 1 in Daviess County. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Thomas L. Beaver, 58, Savannah, was southbound on I-35 driving a 1996 Harley Davidson motorcycle. About eight miles north of Winston, Beaver struck a deer, causing the motorcycle to overturn and eject him. Beaver and the motorcycle came to rest in the median. Mr. Beaver was taken by Life Flight to Truman Medical Center. He was wearing a helmet. The motorcycle had extensive damage. The accident was investigated by Cpl. P.M.

Kansas, which includes Daviess County. This area currently has more than 51,000 individuals who aren’t sure where they will get their next meal. “It is great to have such wonderful community partners like Triumph Foods,” said Chad Higdon, Executive Director at Second Harvest. “In this day and age where most businesses focus on the bottom line, it is great to see a corporation dedicated to supporting their community. If it weren’t for the tremendous support we receive from companies like Triumph, Second Harvest would not be able to meet the needs of the communities we serve.”

“We will continue to fight against food insecurity and hunger in St. Joseph and the entire service area of Second Harvest,” said Chris Clark, Communications Manager at Triumph. “A strong commitment to our communities is a fundamental part of the foundation of our company.” Triumph Foods is a leading processor of premium pork products worldwide.

Emergency call for blood donations issued The American Red Cross is facing a critical blood shortage and is issuing an emergency call for eligible blood and platelet donors of all blood types to give now and help save lives. Blood donations have fallen short of expectations for the past two months, resulting in about 61,000 fewer donations than needed and causing a sig-

nificant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply. The shortfall is the equivalent of the Red Cross not collecting any blood donations for more than four days. To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Unless the heat wave breaks soon, or showers arrive to relieve the pressure, the emergency pump will have to be installed in the river again to replenish the city’s wells. Debbie Frost and Kathy Smith recently attended the Northwest Missouri State University’s basketball camp. Debbie returned home with two awards: one for “hustle” and the other a “second in free throw shooting.” July 6, 1967 Brenda Searcy and Kay Trimm attended a publications workshop at NWMSC at Maryville for two weeks.

Brenda will serve as editor of “The Bulldog” this year while Kay will be assistant editor. Chief Warrant Officer Cleo Hardin of Gallatin, who has been in Vietnam since August of 1966, has been decorated with the Bronze Star for meritorious service. He also was promoted, not long ago, in the First MP Company of the First Infantry Division in the criminal investigation detachment. July 5, 1957 A new source of farm labor for Daviess County farms is being considered. It is the Indian from reservations in the western United States. In recent years there has been a noticeable increase in the desire of Indian people to leave the reservation areas. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Grogg purchased the Rex Café last weekend and moved to their new location next door to the post office. Parking meters are on the way out in Gallatin.

July 3, 1947 A Grundy County jury Tuesday night awarded Mrs. Mildred Dixon, Gallatin, $1,058.88 in damages in the fatal wounding here June 13, 1946, of her husband, Ernest (Hum) Dixon, by Cleve Murphy, Gallatin city marshal. Two more veterans’ farm training classes have been added to the five now in operation in the Gallatin school. Instructors of the new training classes are Kenneth Mitchell and Roy Nichols. You’ve heard of the old saying about a person cutting off his nose to spite his face. A sum total of 720 Daviess Countians did that very thing by voting against the 35-cent road and bridge levy in Monday’s election. There is no way on God’s green earth for Daviess County to get roads and bridges without money. To get money, it takes either a levy increase or a bond issue. The former method was selected and it failed by 216 votes.

From the Bench

Jurors make our judicial system work b y Jud g e R . Br ent E llio tt Jury selection has changed a great deal during my tenure as a practicing lawyer and trial judge. Eligible persons have long been selected to serve a “term” (four months) of jury duty. For many years the pool of eligible jurors was selected by a local “jury commission.” The commission is comprised of the presiding circuit judge (or a judge designated by them), the circuit clerk, and the county clerk. Every four months they would meet and randomly draw names from the county’s registered voters. These names were placed in a jury “pool” and subject to summons for jury duty during their term. Approximately 15 years ago the selection process was modified. Currently, every four months the circuit clerks in each of the 43rd circuit’s five counties request a list of up to 400 county residents to serve on that term’s jury pool. The list comes from the Office of State

Court Administration (OSCA) and is comprised of registered voters and/or county residents with driver’s licenses or state identification cards. The jury commission reviews the list and removes those who are deceased, have moved outside the county, or are otherwise ineligible (i.e. persons with felony convictions whose rights have not been restored). Juror qualification forms are mailed to each potential juror to confirm their eligibility status. When a jury is required to hear a case, the judge instructs the clerk to summon a number of jury pool members to report on a certain date for jury duty. For example, I recently presided over a three-day murder trial and instructed the clerk to summon 70 persons for the panel. In some less serious cases we have summoned in as few as 40 potential jurors. Failure to report for jury duty as ordered can subject a person to contempt and a fine of up to $500. In our rural areas, we seldom have persons fail to appear for jury duty. Our citizens clearly realize the importance of trial by jury to a free and democratic society.

The great statesman Thomas Jefferson said, “I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” During my days as a practicing lawyer and as a judge, I have always said my favorite task is adoption proceedings. It makes me feel I have made a positive impact on someone’s life. Perhaps second on my list is handling jury trials. As a lawyer, the adrenaline rush from presenting and arguing a case was a welcome change from the paperwork and day-to-day practice of law. As a judge, I feel a great sense of pride watching fellow citizens devote their full attention and effort to making our judicial system work. To those who have served or are willing to serve, “Thank you!”

Jack S w o f f o r d Jack R. Swofford, 87, Flower Mound, Texas, formerly of Gallatin, died Friday, June 30, 2017.

Larry Adams at Lock Springs

Vanessa Templeton on Route Z at Old Pattonsburg

Flood of 2017 (continued from

Larry Vaughn off Hwy 69 at Old Pattonsburg

According to the MoDOT Traveler Information Map numerous roads closed in Daviess County due to flooding, including Route AA; Route B; Route K; Route T; Route UU; Route Z; US-69, not to mention gravel roads in the river bottoms and roads closed due to washed-out culverts. All roads closed due to flooding are currently open.

City Park under water at Old Pattonsburg

Southbound on I-35 heading away from Pattonsburg

Successful water rescue executed near Coffey Early on June 29, a man was rescued from the top of his car which had been swept off of Highway B east of Coffey. The report was made at 4:34 a.m. Coffey Fire, Pattonsburg Fire, and Harrison County NTA (Noel T. Adams Ambulance) Water Rescue were all paged out for assistance. Crews were unable to find the subject for almost an hour. He had been on his way to work at a hog barn when another employee of the hog barn called him to tell him the road was under water. The subject then responded that he was floating down the creek on top of his car. The subject was unable to identify his location. When the man was located, NTA Water Rescue deployed

a boat with some difficulty, due to the speed of the water. Two water rescuers entered the water, going downstream first to launch the boat, and then back upstream to get to the stranded man. According to Harrison County NTA Commander John Barclay, the water rescue team was called about 5 a.m. He said the small car had been swept downstream about 150 yards. The victim was found clinging to a tree, standing on top of his car. The car was resting against the tree and almost completely submerged. The two rescuers made contact and were able to get him off of the top of the car. The man, who was in his 30s, did not need medical attention.

can happen,” he said. “But you hope it won’t.” Mr. Vaughn said he was by no means the farmer to have the biggest crop loss due to the floods. Some area farmers have hundreds of crop acres under water. Vanessa Templeton was visiting her grandmother Deb Snider, who lives in rural Pattonsburg, over the holiday weekend. “This is crazy,” Vanessa said of the floodwaters. She and her grandmother had gone sightseeing the day before (June 29) and there was some flooding, but nothing to match what had taken place by Friday as the rains continued to fall Thursday night and the river continued to rise. Vanessa lives in Alma, Mo. She visits her grandmother frequently. “Today the park in Old Pattonsburg is underwater and Highway Z is underwater — it’s unbelievable,” she said. Waters had not much receded by Saturday, though the day itself was dry with no added rain. Daviess County Sheriff ’s Deputy Larry Adams, who was off-duty at the time, helped a stranded motorist get off the Grand River Bridge, located a couple of miles west of Lock Springs on Saturday afternoon, July 1. The lady was from Nebraska and was apparently following her GPS, which indicated she should keep going along Unity Avenue to reach her destination of Hamilton. The flooded road might have indicated otherwise. According to Deputy Adams, the lady made it as far as the bridge, which, fortunately, was not underwater. She crossed the bridge, and when the gravel road made a steeper grade downward, knew she wouldn’t make it, turned around and stopped on the bridge. “She was driving a Ford Escape SUV and the water reached the top of her wheel well,” said Deputy Adams, who said he could feel the currents in his own SUV as the road curved back toward the bridge. “She’s very lucky she stayed on the road and didn’t go off in the fields; it would have been a different situation.” “I appreciate the Luke Perkins family and Beau Wells for their assistance towing her back to Lock Springs,” said Deputy Adams. “I could have gotten her out in my SUV, but her vehicle would have been there until the water receded.” According to the National Weather Service, the thunderstorms on June 28 produced widespread heavy rainfall amounts. Two to five inches were noted generally north of Highway 36 with some localized amounts exceeding 10 inches from Maryville eastward to Bethany. The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service on the National Weather website notes that the Grand near Pattonsburg was at 35.92 feet at 3 p.m. on June 30. That is considered major flooding. The flood stage is 25 feet. Here is what is predicted to happen as the Grand floods: Nearly all agricultural land and secondary roads in the floodplain flood at 30 feet. Hwy. 69 floods at 34.5 feet and the railroad tracks near Pattonsburg are under water. The business section of Old Pattonsburg begins to flood at 32 feet. All that pretty much happened. The Grand River near Gallatin flood stage is 26 feet. At 3 p.m. on June 30, the river was starting to rise and by Saturday was up to 36.82 feet. This is considered moderate flooding. (It has to get to 39 to be considered major.) The Prediction Service came up with the following: Low-lying woodlands and farmland along the river start flooding at 26 feet. At 33 feet over 20,000 acres of farmland flood. In addition, a sand and gravel operation downstream of Hwy. 6 is threatened by flooding. Those predictions were also accurate.
