Wires too hot to handle for this ‘Unwise Owl’ This unfortunate owl picked the wrong spot to land sometime last Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning. The “unwise” bird came into contact with a pair of electrical wires atop a pole on Vista Avenue, just off of Route CC, south and west of Gallatin, and completed a circuit that sent voltage through the bird’s body.

Accidents like this are not uncommon to larger birds such as owls, hawks and eagles, says Daviess County Conservation Agent Alan Bradford.

“It happens more than we think,” Bradford said.

“Electrocution is the main cause of death for large birds of prey (eagles, hawks and owls),” he added.

“Several years ago Wyoming did a study and in a two-year period over 200 eagles were killed by electrocution.”

Night sky event to shine brightly again this Friday at the county library

If last Friday’s first NASA@ mylibrary focus on stargazing is any indication, you’d better arrive early for the encore event slated to start at 6:30 p.m. this Friday at the Daviess County Library in Gallatin.

“The first event was a raging success — the library basement was full!” says Library Director Allison Spidle.

An almost exact cross section of the county attended — young and old, members of nearly every church, and at least one person/ family from every town as well as Lake Viking, grandparents with

grandchildren, families, singles, farmers in work clothes, men, women, girls and boys.

Jackie Beucher, an eclipse-chaser, gave a 30-minute presentation followed by stargazing outside the library. She is a NASA Night Sky Network expert and is currently vice-president of the Astronomical Society of Kansas City.

“The speaker and her guest personally noted to me following the talk how impressed they were with our community spirit

and general sense of community; which was a very nice comment,” said Ms. Spidle.

The library had to shut down at 10:15 p.m. and tell people to come back this coming Friday for Part II of the series.

“I think they would have

stayed until well past midnight looking through the telescopes!”

Ms. Spidle said.

On Aug. 11 the second program will start at 6:30 p.m. with sungazing through a special sun scope. At 7:30 p.m. a 20-minute talk on telescoping will be pre-

sented, followed by more stargazing with monster telescopes.

The presentation will be given

by NASA Night Sky Network astronomy expert Dawn Grant. It includes a 30-minute tour of the night sky, followed by stargazing from outside the library.

Aug. 9, 2017

The Great American Eclipse On Aug. 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will cut a swath across Missouri on its path over 14 United States. For about two minutes, the sky within the path, about 70 miles wide, will go dark.

This period of darkness is called totality.

A total solar eclipse happens somewhere in the world at least once a year. In the Continental U.S., the last total solar eclipse was in 1979. But it has been 148 years since daylight went out somewhere in Missouri, and 575 years since the last total solar eclipse in the central part of the state.

What was happening in 1869 when Missouri had the last total solar eclipse? Ulysses S. Grant became president,

Create a Solar Eclipse Model

Jesse James robbed his first bank, a “golden spike” marked the first transcontinental railroad, the Cincinnati Red Stockings open the season as the first fully professional baseball team.

In this activity, you will create a replica of a solar eclipse.

Materials Needed: Flashlight or Table Lamp (represents the sun), Soccer or Soft Ball (represents the earth), Ping Pong Ball (represents the moon), Wire or String, Tape, 3 People, A Dark Room

A solar eclipse happens when the sun and the moon line up so that the shadow of the moon falls on the earth. People in the moon’s umbra experience a total solar eclipse, while those in the penumbra see a partial eclipse. (see graphic)

Procedure: 1.

2. One person will hold the wire with the earth at arm’s length in the middle of the room, one person will hold the wire with the moon at arm’s length, and one person will stand behind the light source against the wall.

The bright glow coming from behind the moon during the eclipse is called the corona.

This is a part of the sun we don't normally see; it is always there, but the glare of the bright sun hides it.

Use Proper Glasses It’s never safe to look at the sun without protection, and the view leading up to the total solar eclipse is no different. Wearing safe eyewear is essential. Even cameras and cell phones can be damaged by their view of the sun. Learn more about safe viewing at eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety.

Bits of hydrogen gas, called the chromosphere, may be visible as red and pink colors.

Eclipse watcher: Is it true that the moon’s atmosphere focuses the light of sun, making it dangerous to be outside on eclipse day?

Look up the following vocabulary words: Solar Eclipse Facts Totality • Umbra Penumbra • Corona Air temperatures can drop 10 degrees.

Chromosphere Animals and insects will react as if it’s nighttime.

Insects will start chirping, cows will head to the barn.

w w w w

The sky will be dark, but will appear as if there’s a full moon.

Stars and planets will be observable: Venus will be the brightest!

Doctor Speck: The moon does not have an atmosphere, and so it cannot behave this way. It is no more dangerous than any other day .

3. When the room is completely dark, switch on the light and aim the light source straight at earth.

4. The moon will need to be between the sun and the earth at a distance where it will cast a shadow on the earth (this may take some trial and error to find the perfect spot).

5. The moon will very slowly orbit around the Earth.

6. Note the various points in the orbit that create night and day. At what point is there an eclipse?

Use tape to secure the wire or string to the soccer/softball (earth) and the ping pong ball moon).

Doctor SPECK

Eclipse watcher: My textbook says that the sun’s corona gives off harmful X-rays and UV rays — shouldn’t we be scared of them?

Doctor Speck: The corona does give off those rays, but it does that every day, it’s just that the bright sun makes it difficult for us to see the corona on a normal day — so we don’t notice it. The earth’s atmosphere protects us from those harmful rays on eclipse day and on every other day.

Will the natural phenomenon eclipse all the hype?

There’s real mania unfolding about the Aug. 21 solar eclipse we’re to experience.

I understand there hasn’t been one like it in Missouri for centuries. Yes, it is rather exciting to realize we’re in the path of total eclipse — one of the few places within a narrow path stretching across 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina. And, yes, it’s fantastic to see our county library spearhead the local focus, using NASA@mylibrary programs.

Gallatin is within the 70-mile total eclipse path that cuts diagonally across the state, running roughly from St. Joseph to Perryville. But is human anticipation and reaction to the phenomenon going to get as crazy as some predict?

Civic leaders at St. Joseph say at least 50,000 visitors — some wildly guessing as many as 500,000 or more — will stream into their town to witness the event. That wildest guess would be more than six times St. Joseph’s population!

I read where Airbnbs are selling for $700 a night. Campsites, RV parks and hotel rooms across Missouri have been reserved for months. St. Joseph has at least 10 public watch parties scheduled.

Across the state, it’s likewise. It

seems everybody is getting into it. Even Christian campground sites like Grand Oaks at Chillicothe organized “Solar Eclipse Family Retreat” packages which attracted interest especially from home-school families.

MoDOT anticipates 1.2 million out-of-state visitors packing Missouri’s highways over the four-day weekend. An eclipse bike ride along the Katy Trail is planned to end at Jefferson City, where another major eclipse festival is planned. Some businesses are shutting down like for a holiday.

I’m not sure what to expect.

But I do know this: Weeks ago I phoned our IT support guy for repairs on the CTP system we use daily to print newspapers.

The problem has a workaround, meaning we can get along until the actual repair can be scheduled. Our tech guy lives in Texas and, mindful of expense, he said “Yeah, but I’m bringing my grandkids up to Missouri for your eclipse... and if you’ll just wait until then, I’ll swing by and make the repair without adding any travel expense.”

Thus, I began to believe at least some of the hype weeks ago.

The eclipse, of course, is no small thing. The last time an

eclipse went over the Kansas City area was in 1806 — as explorers Lewis and Clark were on their way back from the Pacific Northwest! The last time a total eclipse occurred anywhere in

Off the Editor’s Spike...

by Darryl Wilkinson

Missouri was on Aug. 7, 1869. It was rather lackluster, affecting only the far northeast corner of the state. In fact, that eclipse had practically no existence except on paper.

This one to occur here Aug. 21 will be much different.

Stories about eclipse chasers abound. Some photo enthusiasts travel the globe to capture images, admitting that seeing pictures is just not the same as experiencing the natural phenomenon.

Some predict how the temperature will drop as much as 10 degrees. Sometimes birds become frantic in advance of the encroaching darkness and then, eerily, turn quiet.

The total solar eclipse here in Gallatin is expected to begin at approximately 1:08 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21. This could be a small interruption in your normal day or a moment in history, and in time, where you and the earth and the sun and the moon and your outdoor setting are suddenly cast into one tiny event for a memory that lasts a lifetime.

The choice is yours.

If the latter appeals to you, then consider joining those who congregate for a photograph at the Daviess County courthouse at 1 p.m. just minutes before the eclipse. The photo to commemorate the Great American Eclipse of 2017 promises to rival the 1915 photo mural of the courthouse square on display behind the front desk here at Gallatin Publishing Company.

Who knows what photographic backdrop will be chosen should the next total eclipse prompt a similar gathering over 100 years from now?

Whether the natural phenomenon actually eclipses all the hype remains to be seen. But don’t be left out ...I suggest you get your pair of solar glasses ready, and I hope you’ll take part in the commemorative photo at the courthouse.

Here are samples of what I’ve

been reading about total eclipse.

Solar eclipses are not actually unusual. There’s one occurring somewhere on the planet every 18 months on average. Often, however, their paths take them over remote areas of ocean.

This is the first total eclipse in nearly 40 years to cross the continental United States.

In February 1979, another solar eclipse swept like a crescent smile across a few states in the Pacific Northwest. In 1918 a solar eclipse crossed the entire continental U.S., but the last time one went exclusively through our nation was in 1257 — almost three centuries before Copernicus posited that the earth was not the center of the universe and that planets orbited the sun.

Historically, solar eclipses have inspired awe and produced odd stories. In 2134 B.C., two Chinese astrologers failed to foretell the coming of a solar eclipse, and it sealed their fates.

Legend claims both were executed because in ancient China, an eclipse could bode ill for the emperor, especially if it hadn’t been predicted.

Even today in China drums roll and rituals are performed to frighten and drive away the dragon that has eaten the sky. (continued on page 3)

Homemade ice cream

by Freida Marie Crump

Three words for a Missouri hero

by Sen. Claire McCaskill

In my town halls around Missouri, it’s pretty clear what folks think of Washington, D.C. Nothing gets done. It’s just partisan gridlock.

Democrats and Republicans can’t work together.

And it’s regular people back home who are paying the price. Too often, it’s true. And that reality is one of the disheartening things about the state of Congress.

But sometimes, you fight hard enough and long enough, and get enough allies along the way, that you get a breakthrough.

That’s what happened this month. It won’t make national headlines, since it’s not a scandal or partisan food fight. But this week, after a two-year effort, I passed into law a bill to provide relief — and recognition — to a true American hero right here in Missouri.

That hero is Mr. Arla Harrell, who lives in Macon, Missouri. He was one of 60,000 U.S. servicemen during World War II who was forced to participate in experiments in which he was intentionally exposed to mustard gas. Since the testing at Camp Crowder in Missouri, Arla has suffered from multiple chronic ailments, including several linked to his mustard gas exposure.

But because the experiments were highly classified, he was forced to take an oath of secrecy that prevented him from discussing his experience with his family, or even his doctor. Even after the oath of secrecy was lifted in the 1990s, the Department of Veterans Affairs has denied more than 90 percent of mustard gas claims from these veterans, and only 40 veterans are currently receiving any benefits due to their exposure.

Two years ago, when I first heard about this, it made me think of my dad — who also served in World War II — and how furious I’d be if he was

treated this way.

When a Missouri veteran is mistreated, I take it personally, and I’ll take the fight to anyone, anywhere, to make it right.

So I launched an investigation — and when I uncovered the details, I immediately got to work.

Inspired by Arla — and with the help of his loving and determined family — my staff and I battled a decades-long run of ineptitude and failure at the VA. I enlisted my friend, Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who is Chairman of the Senate’s Veterans Affairs Committee. I worked with Republican Congresswoman Jackie Walorski of Indiana, who introduced companion legislation in the U.S. House. We rallied support from veterans service organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion.

And I button-holed President Trump’s VA Secretary, David Shulkin, often enough that he eventually overruled his agency’s opposition to my bill, and pledged his personal support to our cause.

This month, I passed my bipartisan Arla Harrell Act as part of a larger veterans bill, and now the bill is on its way to President Trump for his signature into law. Once signed, it will require a re-examination of Arla’s benefits claim, and will include Camp Crowder on the list of sites where exposure occurred. It will mandate a quick review of all previously denied claims. And importantly, it will place the burden on the VA — instead of the veterans — to prove or disprove such exposure.

After all these years, it’s less about the benefits that Arla deserves, and will now receive — it’s about recognizing what he sacrificed for this country, and that he and his family deserve to hear three simple words from their government.

We believe you.

Thank you, Mr. Harrell. For all you’ve sacrificed.

Spike: The hype As in ancient China, the ancient Babylonians temporarily placed a stand-in ruler on the throne when a solar eclipse was expected to pass over them so as to protect the true king from ill omen. Likewise, in modern day India, pregnant women hide indoors during the eclipse to avoid bad fortune.

Before you laugh, do you remember all the warnings about Y2K? Documenting total eclipse data is vital to science. These phenomena were key in validating Einstein’s theory of relativity, which predicted that gravity bends light. By observing stars that are invisible except during an eclipse, astronomers were able to watch the sun bend their light, making them appear out of place in the sky, and confirming Einstein’s prediction. Eclipses were also how man first observed solar flares and coronal mass ejections on the surface of the sun. These phenomena are normally invisible to the naked eye, but appear briefly around the edges of the moon during an eclipse.

(continued from page 2) Finally, when thinking of midday darkness, one biblical event specifically comes to mind — Christ’s crucifixion (Matt. 27:45).

Perhaps you might assume that a solar eclipse occurred on Good Friday. But this assumption is incorrect for numerous reasons.

With precise accuracy, NASA has documented every solar eclipse dating back for several thousands of years. This research reveals that no substantive solar eclipse occurred in Jerusalem during the time when Jesus was crucified.

Moreover, the Gospels tell us that Good Friday occurred during an event called Passover (Matt. 27:45). In Hebrew culture, Passover was celebrated during the new (full) moon (Ex. 12:1, Lev. 23:5). Astronomers say a solar eclipse cannot take place during a new moon.

Though Good Friday’s darkness was not due to a solar eclipse, it will be appropriate for Christians to think with wonder and amazement upon Christ’s atoning work on the cross while enjoying the Great American Eclipse.

Greetings from Poosey.

My little brother would take about three turns of the crank then moan, “Okay, your turn.” I’d tell him that we still had about 200 cranks to go, but he’d always claim that his arm was on the verge of falling loose from his body. Miraculously, once the ice cream was ready his little arm was healed and he’d scoop the delicious stuff into his mouth. Homemade ice cream was the great healer.

George Washington’s Mt. Vernon accounts say that he spent $200 on ice cream in the summer of 1790 after he’d successfully brushed the British back from our shores. Thomas Jefferson had an 18-step recipe for making homemade ice cream. Leave it to Tom to complicate things, but it became a part of our heritage. Some medical experts say that as the making of ice cream spread across the nation the reports of scurvy were nearly wiped out as the Vitamin D helped absorb the needed fruity vitamins.

But those of us with some age and a bit memory can remember the old hand crank ice cream maker. Mom would devise the mixture... a cup of sugar, one or two eggs, a half gallon of milk, some cream, and a vanilla bean or extract. Then Dad would pour the gloppy concoction into the churn, add ice, some salt, and turn it over to the youngsters to swat the mosquitoes on the back porch in between rotations of the handle. A gal named Nancy Johnson, who must have had biceps of steel or a large family of children, patented the ice cream churn in 1843.

When I was young and even dumber than I am now, I could never figure out the bit about adding the rock salt. You put in the ice then when you add salt the ice gets colder. Just didn’t make good sense, but once you took your first bite you didn’t really care. Mom would say that if the stuff didn’t get cold enough fast enough then we’d end up with a quart of butter instead of ice cream, so we dutifully salted our ice and trusted that she knew what she was talking out.

Of course, the magic moment is when you unscrew the lid and lift the paddles out of the newly made treat. I always felt that the person who’d done the most churning should get the sublime pleasure of licking the paddles, but my little brother would somehow grab the crank every time Mom would come out onto the porch, then turn it back over to me to do the grunt work. We solved this crisis when Dad bought a churn with double paddles.

Our mother knew our preferences so she’d flavor the ice cream to our liking, meaning just vanilla. But when we’d go over to the neighbors for an after supper dessert of their ice cream, I’d see Mrs. Stauffer putting things like pineapple into the mixture. Pineapple!

She’d ruin a perfectly delicious batch of ice cream by adding fruit.

Gastronomic blasphemy! And some people would lade their bowl of this frozen food of the gods with chocolate or butterscotch syrup. Oh, the humanity! They’d cover up this delectable once-a-year treat with flavorings! What an affront on your taste buds!

While most at home ice cream chefs have opted for the electric churns and some even purchase ice cream machines, I miss the old hand crank, especially since there’s one or two younger generations around to do the cranking. Turning on your new-fangled ice cream machine then spending a half hour playing video games while you wait for the stuff to get done does nothing to excite your taste buds.

You really have a spend 30 minutes or so on a hot porch in midAugust with the June bugs dive bombing your back to really get the proper appreciation for homemade ice cream. Breville, Inc. offers the “Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker,” with a backlit LED display, a self-refrigerating compressor, a timer, a “keep cool” setting, plus you can choose between 12 degrees of hardness and you can set the timer to play ice cream truck music when it’s ready. Bummer. I see no fun in all that, like having an ice cream app for your phone.

Last week we went to a neighbor’s house with the promise of some homemade ice cream, “Just the way Grandma used to do it.”

We were greeted at the kitchen door by the sound of a Cuisinart Automatic FroYo/Sorbet/Ice Cream maker, complete with LED backlit displays. No crank, no lickable blades, no salted ice, no effort. Just didn’t taste right. Needed June bugs.

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

Funding available for home owners

If you are in need of essential repairs to your home and wonder how to obtain affordable financing, USDA Rural Development may be able to assist with a low interest loan. “We currently have adequate funds for the home repair loan program,” said Amber D Barnes, area specialist in the Saint Joseph office.

To qualify for the program, applicants must own and occupy the home, the home must be in an eligible rural area, and the total household income cannot exceed the “very low” income guidelines established for each county and household size.

This program may be used to remove health and safety hazards such as repairing roofs, heating and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, water/sewer systems, windows, and insulation, or to make a home handicap accessible. It can also be used to improve or modernize a home.

All loans are at a fixed 1% interest rate for up to 20 years. This low interest rate enables the borrower to have a reasonable monthly payment that they can afford even with their very low income. For example, a $5,000 loan at 1% interest for 20 years would have a monthly payment of $23.00 per month. There is no penalty for early payment if the borrower wishes to pay extra or pay off early.

Further information on additional programs is available by visiting the USDA Missouri Rural Development website at http://www.rd.usda.gov/mo. Interested parties may also contact the Saint Joseph Office at (816) 364-3927, Ext 4.

The Single Family Housing 504 Repair Loan and Grant Program provides loans to very-lowincome homeowners to repair, improve or modernize their homes, or to remove health and safety hazards.

By Tim Baker, Regional Horticulturist The upcoming total solar eclipse has been getting a lot of attention lately—and for good reason. It’s a rare event to have one come to your own back yard, and for many Missourians that is literally the case.

In this week’s column, I thought I would mention several resources that are listed on my web page at: http://extension.missouri.edu/nwhort/solar. aspx.

Many communities are planning special events around the solar eclipse. I have provided links to maps where you can find such an event near you.

Outside of the path of totality, you will only get a partial eclipse.

If you cannot travel to a location in that path, there will be several opportunities to see live streaming of the eclipse on the web.

We are, of course, hoping for clear weather. There’s a pretty good chance for that in late August.

I have also provided links to

special eclipse pages provided by the National Weather Service, so you can catch the latest forecast for August 21 as that special day approaches.

Be sure to check out the links that deal with eye safety. Don’t take chances! Be sure to obtain special glasses, which will allow safe viewing during the partial phases of the eclipse. Sunglasses won’t work! Be sure they are officially approved for solar viewing.

There’s also a link to an article on the MU Extension Business Development Program web page.

This article points out many things that you might not have thought of— possible gas shortages, disrupted cell phone services, infrastructure challenges, and many others. You need to be prepared, just in case.

I also have many other excellent websites about the solar eclipse on my web page. As the day approaches, I will add to it frequently. Take a look at: http:// extension.missouri.edu/nwhort/ solar.aspx.

Pattonsburg sells timber on city property, rents building to Tree Climbers Club, accepts utility clerk resignation Forestry Consultant Milton Cook was present at both the June 12 and July 17 meetings of the Pattonsburg Board of Aldermen to discuss the select timber harvest. The timber is located on city property on the south end of town. The aldermen accepted Mr. Cook’s offer of $14,097 for 47 walnut trees and 15 burr oak/ white oak trees. The contract will be signed as soon as it is ready and approved by the board. The board also carried a motion that Mr. Cook would have to pay half of the money up front and half when the job is completed.

In June, cold mix was ordered for Oak Street and for potholes around town. In July, bids were to be taken on concrete for the Oak Street project at the big drainage ditch west of Meadows Lane.

At the July meeting the aldermen reversed a decision made at the June meeting which granted free rent to the Tree Climbers Genealogical Society in the building located at 109 Central Avenue.

In June, the society asked the aldermen if they could have free rent. The aldermen first agreed to this as long as the club would help with upkeep of the building.

The Tree Climbers Club is a non-profit organization, run by volunteers, which maintains a genealogy library of family histories. The Tree Climbers have a lease with Pattonsburg’s Industrial Development Association (IDA); however, the City of Pattonsburg oversees the IDA. At the July meeting, Tracy Parton, Angie Thurman and Diane Eakins with the Industrial Development Association were present to discuss the decision to grant the Tree Climbers free rent.

After hearing from the IDA, the board decided that it might be cheaper for the Tree Climbers to pay rent since, according to the city, repairs, particularly to geothermal units, would prove expensive. The board reversed its decision and carried a motion for the Tree Climbers to pay rent.

Tracy Parton turned in her resignation from the IDA, which the board accepted. According to the city, Ms. Parton was concerned that the issue might become a conflict of interest with her occupation as an employee of a bank.

A position for part-time office worker for the utility department will be advertised. The job will be for a maximum of 30 hours per

week, five days a week, and no benefits. Applications must be in

by Sept. 11.

Angie Jones, utilities clerk, turned in her resignation. The board voted to go into closed session. Upon returning to open session Ms. Jones’ resignation was accepted.

Allison Spidle with the Daviess County Library discussed a mobile book truck for the youth, and the board agreed to allow them to bring it to the Pattonsburg library.

The mayor stated he wanted the door locks changed at city hall and the front entrance. According to the city, the mayor was doing so as a precaution against lost or duplicated keys.

The Zoning Board and Board of Adjustment still need one more person to fill positions.

One property listed in June as “of concern” during a recent property survey still had not been taken care of in July. Municipal Assistance Company, which performed the survey, will send a letter. The problem is being addressed.

Janna Barton, with Municipal Assistance Company, explained that the cost for the inspection of the animal holding facility would be split between the three municipalities that currently utilize the facility. The board agreed to pay one-third of the cost. The patrol tracking report was also discussed. Letters will be sent out as required.

Lucille Lusk, representing Small Town Cooperative Board, presented three bills which the board approved. The bills were to revise court costs to current state required fees, and related matters; to remove federal misdemeanors as a disqualification from running for office per recently passed state law; and to clarify the date of the regular board meeting when the second Monday falls on or before the 10th of the month.

Six-month and yearly financial reports were reviewed and accepted. The proposed budget for 2017-2018 was reviewed and accepted as-is. Monthly reports were reviewed and bills paid.

The board motioned to have the emergency management coordinators get the generator and relocate it somewhere else.

The board voted to change the terms on certificate of deposit #55167 from 182 days to 24 months.

A new eyewash station will be

Kansas man flees accident at high speeds in stolen car A Kansas man, Brandon J. Hastings, was arrested Aug. 5 after he fled the scene of an accident which occurred on U.S. 69 at Trex Mart in Daviess County.

The highway patrol responded to a report that a driver had left the accident heading north on I-35. Trooper K. Cool observed a Toyota at the 67-mile marker with damage to the driver’s side, as reported in the vehicle description.

Putnam Co. hospital in trouble Auditor finds $90 million billing scheme

Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released an audit of Putnam County Memorial Hospital, which uncovered $90 million in inappropriate lab billings by hospital leadership and associates. The investigation started after auditors identified serious concerns with the hospital’s financial condition during a regularly scheduled audit of Putnam County.

“The decisions made by hospital management and the board are astounding in their irresponsibility and have the potential to negatively impact the hospital and the residents of Putnam County for years to come,” Auditor Galloway said.

In September 2016, the Putnam County Hospital Board hired David Byrns and his company, Hospital Partners, Inc., to take over day-to-day management of the embattled northeast Missouri hospital.

Soon after, Byrns hired a partner organization, Hospital Lab Partners, LLC, to provide lab services. This is where most of the questionable activity is concentrated.

The audit uncovered a billing scheme, where the lab services company and its affiliates conduct lab work across the country, but Putnam County Memorial Hospital bills the insurance companies using the hospital account. In exchange, the hos-

pital gets a cut of the insurance payouts.

Since November 2016, the hospital has received more than $90 million in insurance payments and passed most of it along to the lab company and its affiliates. However, during this time the vast majority of billings were for patients who had never been to or received services from Putnam County Memorial Hospital. Instead, the hospital submits the bills for their services to the insurance companies, funneling millions of dollars through the hospital and reducing it to what is essentially a shell organization for labs across the country.

Additionally, the hospital foots the bill for the salaries of 33 employees from around the country who conduct this lab work. These “employees” do not report to work at the hospital and most live out of state, some as far away as California, Georgia and Texas. The employees ship blood specimens to various labs for testing, while Putnam County Memorial Hospital submits the insurance claims for payment.

The hospital also paid out more than $10 million in lab management fees, with little explanation of the charges.

Hosted by First Christian Church (FCC) of Gallatin, fun unfolded from July 31 to Aug. 2 as the children learned God’s word together.

Bethany Vandiver, VBS Director and Head Farmer of BigHeart Farms, along with many awesome volunteers, all worked together to create a loving, fun, and educational atmosphere for the “little sprouts” as they discovered the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The whole facility was transformed into one big farmland and each section of the program was patterned after a farming concept.

After an awesome meal at the Watering Hole, the Little Sprouts with their Head Gardeners sage was based on Joshua 1:6-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6. Communion was served by Mike and Peggy Earnst. Small group time followed the message.

Olive Baptist Brother David Leeper’s Sunday morning message was “Saved by the Blood of the Lamb” from John 3:16. Before and after the message, we had a Bible school children’s day with the theme of “Go and Tell Everyone About Jesus,” from Matthew 28. Sunday evening we continued our study

joined the Hootenanny Band for some good worship.

During the Bible Seed portion, the kiddos learned how the Holy Spirit is their best friend, how the Bible is God’s loving letter to each one, and how Jesus is our ultimate coach who leads us and guides us in life.

Between 59 and 63 children came each day and the program culminated with the children performing their VBS songs with the Hootenanny Band during the Sunday service. To say that it was a lot of fun seems like an understatement.

And it doesn’t end. FCC, Gallatin is having a Back-to-School Splash Party at the city pool 7-9 p.m. this Sunday, August 13, for those in grades 5-12. So mark your calendars now. It will be #loadsoffun.

Examining the jury selection process

Courthouse news

Editor’s note: This continues a series of articles intended to promote a better understanding of the judicial system and changes in the law. Last month’s article set forth the procedure for summoning citizens to appear for jury service.

The following addresses the jury selection process for those ordered to appear (for purposes of this illustration we will assume that 50 persons have been summoned for jury service on a felony criminal case that will be tried in one day).

resisting arrest, five days jail; driving while intoxicated, five days jail; failed to signal, $30.50.

Donald E. Rocho, Blue Island, Ill., speeding, $155.50; no valid license, $300.

Raul Palacios Rivas, Milan, possession of liquor by minor, $25.

Civil Court Suits on account: CACH, LLC vs. Mary M. Leduc was dismissed by the parties.

Contract/account: The New Liberty Hospital vs. Mattie M. Yoder et al was dismissed by the parties.

by Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott Prior to their arrival, the circuit clerk randomly assigns each prospective juror a number between 1 and 50. The potential jurors (panel) are assembled in a room outside the courtroom until the judge summons them to commence the trial. The panel is seated in numerical order.

The judge asks some preliminary questions to make sure

all members of the panel are qualified to serve. For example, jurors must be residents of the appropriate county, 21 years of age, etc.

General instructions relating to jury trials are then read by the judge. Those instructions include the following language: “A trial of a criminal case begins with the selection of a jury of qualified and impartial people.

In order to obtain such a jury, all of you have been summoned as prospective jurors. From your number, a jury will be selected to hear the case. It is necessary that you be asked various questions. Your answers will assist the court in determining whether it should excuse you from serving in this case and will assist the attorneys in making their selection of those who will hear the case.

“The trial of a lawsuit involves considerable time and effort, and the parties are entitled to have their rights finally determined. The failure on your part fully and truthfully to answer

Hospital (Continued from page 9)

rial Hospital was in such a dire situation that, in order to stay operational, the hospital’s board accepted these income sources without question,” Auditor Galloway said. “The citizens that live and work in this area and the patients that depend on the hospital are ultimately going to be the ones who pay for those mistakes.”

The audit also revealed that in the 10 months since taking over, Byrns used his position as CEO to benefit himself and his management company. Byrns has paid more than $700,000 to his management company, and paid himself an additional $200,000 annual salary out of county hospital funds without board approval. He also received reimbursement from the hospital for at least $5,000 in questionable expenses, including alcohol, cigarettes, car washes and golf outings.

Auditor Galloway has turned records and information uncovered through the course of the audit to state and federal law enforcement authorities.

This is one in a series of county hospital audits initiated

by Auditor Galloway. These rural health care audits focus on financial and operating best practices for acute care facilities that are critical to individuals who live and work in the surrounding communities.

The hospital received an overall performance rating of poor, which means auditors will return for a follow-up review. The complete audit report for Putnam County Hospital is available here. ***** Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

questions during this stage of the trial could force the parties to have to retry the lawsuit at some future date.”

The next phase of jury selection is called voir dire (derivative of the French “true say”).

The attorney for the prosecution questions the panel followed by the attorney for the defense.

When questioning is completed, the judge will order a recess and clear the courtroom with the exception of the attorneys and their clients. The final phase of the jury selection process takes place outside of the hearing of the jury panel.

PERSONAL NOTE: My sincerest condolences to the families of Brian Miller and Mark Saunders. Brian, 43, a 20-year Department of Corrections Officer, recently appeared for jury service in DeKalb County. He is also the husband of one of our outstanding probation officers, Jolene Miller.

Mark, 47, is the son of my neighbors and friends, John and Jeannie Saunders. Both of these young men were called away too soon; however, I trust their families will take solace knowing they now serve a higher power.

Not the pigs you used to know: Landowners join forces with MDC to eliminate feral hogs, 5,358 removed in 2016 When Ken Hobbs bought his 362 acres in Reynolds County, it was pristine and he planned to farm cattle and goats on the land.

Then feral hogs moved in.

Feral hog populations are established in over 30 Missouri counties; most are south of Interstate 44.

Feral hogs are prolific breeders, with one sow able to have up to 18 young in a year. This is why MDC and partners work to remove every single hog in an area, because leaving just a few individuals can lead to a whole new population in only one year.

Feral hogs are an aggressive invasive species. Their violent nature, rooting habits, and known diseases pose a threat to wildlife, farm crops, and the balance of nature.

“I had planned until this prob-

Now, on any given night, more than 30 feral hogs will congregate in Hobbs’ front yard, leaving scat every foot or so and rooting up his once flat, lush yard into continuous divots. His fields are in even worse shape.

“These spots get rooted eightto-10 inches, quite often though it’s 12, 16, sometimes 18-inches deep,” he said.

Those damaged fields, the dashed hopes of farming, and the general destruction Hobbs has endured on his property are why he and other landowners reached out the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) to help. MDC, United States Department of Agriculture and other partner agencies are working with private landowners to teach them how to trap whole sounders of feral hogs at a time, which is

pull people together on the effort.

McLain leads feral hog elimination efforts in southeast Missouri. He spends a lot of his time with landowners like Hobbs and Bridger, outlining plans to trap the feral hogs on their property.

This cooperation between landowners and conservation groups is the key to success in feral hog elimination.

“With the new innovations in traps and with more landowners on board, all of us getting together and working at it, we can saturate that landscape with effort and come up with better traps, better baits and better ways of doing things,” McLain said.

So far in 2017, MDC and partners have removed 4,128 feral hogs from Missouri, which is a great increase from previous years.

This is nearly double the progress that was made at the same time in 2016. Increased efforts and better technology continue to show success each year and McLain says MDC and its partners will continue improving until their goal is met.

Hay cut and ready for baling on field northwest of Gallatin. According to the USDA, the supply of hay and other roughages in Northwest Missouri ranged from 17% short; 76% adequate; and 7% surplus.

More rain and less heat over last week The state experienced above normal rainfall last week, according to the Missouri Crop Progress and Condition Report.

Temperatures last week averaged 71.1 degrees, 4.9 degrees below normal.

Precipitation averaged 1.81 inches statewide, 1.07 inches above normal.

There were 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending August 6.

Corn in the dough stage reached 69%, up 14 percent-

age points from last week. Corn dented reached 26%. Corn condition was rated 2% very poor, 6% poor, 29% fair, 51% good, and 12% excellent.

Soybeans blooming reached 79%. Soybeans setting pods reached 46%. Soybean condition was rated 3% very poor, 6% poor, 27% fair, 53% good, and 11% excellent.

Pasture and range condition was rated 1% very poor, 5% poor, 42% fair, 50% good, and 2% excellent.

Graves-Chapple Research farm tour focuses on Dicamba damage

lem got so big to have cattle and goats in here,” Hobbs said. “I’d be afraid to put cattle out there because there’s no way I’m going to have a herd of cattle out there without broken legs, it’s not going to happen.”

The feral hogs didn’t only dash Hobb’s hopes of farming his land, they’ve also significantly decreased the numbers of wildlife that once thrived on the property.

“My turkey population went from one that I could actually go out and see every day, 15 to 20 of them in a flock, and in three to four different places on my property. Now those no longer exist,” he said.

Hobbs first began to try to control the feral hogs by shooting them and enlisting the help of his friends to trap small numbers of them at a time.

“We’ve been trying to control the hogs for several years with our own small traps and hunting,” Hobbs said. “But over the past two or three years, the problem has become so severe that there’s no way to control them personally by hunting.”

more effective than shooting the feral hogs.

Dean Bridger is an Iron County landowner about 20 miles away from Hobbs. Bridger also understands that it’s just not possible to control feral hogs by hunting.

“I get a lot of people up and down the highway that say they want to shoot hogs and I say I’ve got 30 of them. I don’t want one shot, I want them all shot because shooting one doesn’t help me at all,” Bridger said. “They say they’ll come out every night but you can’t do that. The hogs are fast. Once they get scared, they’re gone to the four winds so you might be able to shoot one at a time.”

But trapping isn’t the only strategy that must be used against feral hogs.

“We have to look at this from a bigger picture, it can’t just be one landowner doing this it has to be everybody,” Bridger said.

“We have to pull together, get them [hogs] all together and get them trapped.”

Mark McClain, a wildlife management biologist with MDC, is working hard to trap hogs and to

Area growers are invited to attend the Graves-Chapple Research Center field day scheduled for Tuesday, August 22, with tours starting at 8 a.m. This year, there will be a special focus on Dicamba with three tour stops addressing damage, off-site movement (drift), and insurance.

Dicamba is a broad-spectrum herbicide.

Growers who have had injury from Dicamba drift, or have used the product, should attend to learn about research conducted at the University of Missouri. In addition, during lunch, there will be a question and answer session about this topic with Dr. Kevin Bradley, state weed scientist, with the University of Missouri.

Also, we will have a guest

More summer library patron reviews

The crowd included MU council members, state legislators (State Senator Dan Hegeman, State Rep. J. Eggleston and State Rep. Rusty Black and representatives from U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s office), and local extension faculty and staff.

A new and winding road leads MU chancellor to Jamesport When North Carolina transplant, Marshall Stewart, found himself in the Bootheel of Missouri at a dinner being held in the garage of a tractor dealership eating from a big pot of chicken and dumplings, he knew he was “knee deep in his own people.”

Missouri University’s Vice Chancellor for Extension and Engagement has been a year at the job now. His first step after assuming office in August of last year was to take a “listen and learn” tour in order to assess the needs of the state’s citizens.

He has held about 30 of these community conversations across the state.

On Aug. 4, he spoke to a crowd of between 70 and 80 people at the Jamesport Fire and Rescue Building to discuss what he’d learned.

The effort has been threepronged: 1. By talking to local leaders from different communities, Dr. Stewart hoped to get a handle on what people need to be successful and what MU Extension can do to help people meet those needs.

2. While the community conversations were taking place, another group of researchers at the MU campus has been looking at statistical information on health, economy, agriculture and the environment to define needs of the state.

3. A needs assessment was conducted through a third-party review to check data collected.

“An independent review was recently taken by TEConomy to get a broad-based look at MU Extension and its impact,” Dr. Stewart said. “That review found that of the $84 million invested in a year, MU Extension generated $945 million in Missouri.”

He said he would like to be able to figure the impact at the county level next year.

TEConomy’s report also shows that MU Extension’s annual reach impacts more than 1.3 million Missourians in local programs. According to the release, the MU Extension website had 2.8 million unique visitors who downloaded 14.5 million publications.

After-school programs and 4-H youth development clubs managed by MU Extensions serve more than 230,000 kids, according to the report.

Dr. Stewart said that on his “listen and learn” tour he has traveled throughout Missouri to “places most people don’t know exist.”

“I’ve learned that there are three leading challenges for Missouri — the economy, education, and health care,” he said.

Dr. Stewart emphasized the need to “build our future togeth-

er” which is the theme of the summit. This means developing a collaboration and collusion of knowledge across the state.

“In my travels, I’ve learned of work being done in a school or college in one part of the state, with no idea that similar work was being done in another part of the state,” he said. “We need to stop working in these silos and begin to interconnect. Only then can people get the big picture, and their efforts have a broader impact.”

Not only did Dr. Stewart hope to pull information from all across the state, but also overarch the eight states bordering Missouri.

The Northwest Extension Region and the Daviess County Extension Center hosted the meeting of the University of Missouri Extension administrators.

Dr. Stewart said the question for county extension is how best to serve its varied clientele.

The group took a morning tour to three Jamesport businesses: Amish farms belonging to Chris Detweiler and Noah Kramer and the Grabers Greenhouse.

Dr. Stewart said these three local businesses represent “high touch” businesses. On the other hand, there are enormously big agriculture producers in the area who don’t need high touch, but do need high tech.

“The challenge locally will be how best to balance and deliver services to these different types of needs,” he said.

Marshall Stewart

Dr. Stewart said the link between MU and the state of Missouri is crucial.

He noted that Missourians love the “local touch” and to “feel ownership” and that he was committed to focusing on “all things Missouri” or “Missouri first.” He is after all, he said, paid with Missouri taxes.

“If you don’t take care of Missouri, Missouri won’t take care of you,” he said.

Final plans of the needs assessment call for implementation of a strategic plan for MU Extension to be underway in time for the 2017 MU Extension Summit.

“It’s a new day for Missouri,” Dr. Stewart said. “If we can move ahead in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation, then Missouri has tremendous potential.”

Dr. Stewart ended by telling the audience about booking a room in the one and only hotel in Warsaw. A sign on the counter read “Do not clean fish in your room.”

The North Carolina native said— he felt truly at home.

Heldenbrand awarded MU scholarship, award Lyndi Heldenbrand of Kidder has been awarded the Elyzabeth H. Schell Scholarship and the MU Chancellor’s Award from the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources for the 2017-2018 academic year.

“Scholarships enable us to recruit and retain academically talented students to our college,” said Bryan Garton, associate dean of academic programs.

Lyndi, a sophomore majoring in biochemistry, is the daughter of Steve Heldenbrand and Debra Heldenbrand.

The Elyzabeth H. Schell Scholarship was established in 1981 by the estate of Elyzabeth Schell. The Schells were in the dairy business in the Kansas City area and had a strong interest in agriculture. Scholarships are awarded to students whose parents are Missouri landowning farmers or ranchers.

The MU Chancellor’s Award is given to any student admitted into MU who has obtained an ACT composite score of 31 or higher, is in the top 10% of their graduating class and is enrolled at MU for their first semester af-

ter completing high school. This student must also be a Missouri resident, U.S. citizen or permanent resident and have their ACT or SAT scores sent directly to MU. The award is renewable yearly for an additional three years after meeting additional requirements.

“As the cost of earning a college degree continues to increase, more students are in need of financial assistance,” Garton said. “The goal of our college over the next five years is to increase our total annual scholarships awarded from approximately $1.3 to $1.5 million.”

Information on scholarships and the college is available from Garton at 573-882-0089 or from high school counselors.

Still growing after all these years...

Lake Viking to celebrate 50 years of vitality Lake Viking’s 50th Anniversary Celebration for property owners and guests will be held over the Aug. 11-12 weekend.

The Lake Viking community will reflect on the past, look forward to a bright future, and commemorate the remarkable accomplishment of building the 630-acre lake, with a depth of over 70 feet and 19 miles of shore line. Today, the lake is home to 1,800 active lot owners and the entire community encompasses 2,300 acres of tree-covered hills and coves.

It’s difficult to estimate the impact of the lake on the surrounding community. Lake Manager Shad Mort says lot owners and visitors are likely to shop in Gallatin for food, gas, cigarettes, beverages, and other commodities.

The Friday and Saturday event will feature four musical groups, numerous food trucks, raffles, the annual 5K race, a bike race around the lake, the cardboard boat race, a talent competition, and a donation lunch to support the Wounded Warrior program.

Top: first dirtwork; Inset: road eventually submerged; Above: Clubhouse construction; Right: office parking preparation; Below: dam construction scenes, challenges

In 1967, a company called Development Services Incorporated (D.S.I.) had finished a lake near St. Louis and was looking for a location to develop another lake in the state of Missouri.

D.S.I., which had extensive experience and had already built 45 lake properties, took on the Lake Viking project. The company’s first move was to get together with landowners.

In early 1967, 2,500 acres of farmland was purchased from 23 landowners at a cost of one-half million dollars.

The lake floor was cleared of trees and construction of the community building, airport, beaches and campground commenced in 1967.

D.S.I. then began a sales and marketing campaign, offering lots first to Daviess County citizens and then to the general public. At one time 15 salesmen were employed to sell lots. And sell lots, they did. By 1972, D.S.I. had sold most of the lots and was ready to move on.

Ownership of the lake infrastructure was transferred from D.S.I. to the Viking Valley Association. The water system and water facility was sold to the Association in 1976.

Lake Viking’s Got Talent

Building the dam

A talent show will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the Lake Viking clubhouse on Saturday, Aug. 12. The show will be modeled after the popular television show, America’s Got Talent. Up to 12 contestants will have up to five minutes to show off their talent. A panel of judges will determine who’ll take home cash prizes. Send an email describing your family-friendly act to lakevikingtalent@gmail.com. Include your full name and phone number. Questions should be directed to the email address or to David Sandy, master of ceremonies, at (816) 233-4177.

Big Creek did not cooperate in the construction of Lake Viking’s dam; rain drained away initial efforts and impacted the construction of the dam. In the end, the cost of the dam and length of time taken for its construction more than doubled original projections.

The dam is 1,450 feet long, 85 feet high, with a width of 580 feet at the base and width of 20 feet at the top.

Lake Viking’s Got Magic Veteran entertainer, David Sandy, will present a show of magic and comedy at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, at the clubhouse.

David grew up at the lake, helping his grandmother, Roberta Sandy, every weekend at her real estate office for nearly nine years. Nearly 47 years after he checked out his first magic book at the Winston R-6 Elementary School library, his magical career has surpassed his wildest expectations. He’s performed professionally all over the world.

David has been featured on the CW Network’s Masters of Illusion television show and is a regular performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. Also, David has served as international president of the world’s largest organization for magicians, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and incidentally, was the youngest person to ever serve in that capacity.

Lake Viking’s Got Music Four bands will perform over the anniversary weekend at the Clubhouse Patio area.

“Here for Beer” will perform from 7-10 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11.

On Saturday, Aug. 12, “Servants of the Most High” will perform from noon to 2 p.m.; “Split Decision” will perform from 3-5 p.m.; and “Now and Then” will perform from 7:15 to 11:15 p.m.

Lake Viking’s History

Amish do Nordic The Viking ship near the lake’s entrance is an iconic landmark. Monroe Gingrich and his crew of Amish carpenters built the landmark, an authentic replica of an ancient Viking ship. The stone masonry was built by Don Fetters, who also built the fireplace in the community building. A time capsule was buried at the foot of the ship in 2000.

Binding realtor rights Roberta Sandy, a farmer’s wife, got a job with the D.S.I. sales staff. Roberta made an arrangement with D.S.I. to buy the remaining 70 unsold lots at the lake, if in turn, the company would give her exclusive realtor rights. A contract was signed and Lake Viking Sales was born.

Water, water everywhere In late spring of 1970, Lake Viking was completely filled as water flowed through the lake’s spillway for the very first time. A water system was operational in 1971.

As housing increased, more water was needed. A system upgrade allowed the organization of Public Water Supply District #3. In 2000, a revenue bond allowed for a state-of-the-art three-step filtration system installed in the water plant.

Famed pilot at the Lake A 3,600 foot airstrip was among the first fixtures listed as completed at the lake in 1967. This along with other lake amenities helps attract people from all walks of life to Lake Viking, including nationally acclaimed John Testrake.

Mr. Testrake was the pilot of TWA Flight 847 to Athens, a flight made infamous by Shi’ite terrorists who took criminal control of the jet on June 14, 1985. One passenger was executed, but the leadership of Mr. Testrake and other crew members was credited with saving the remaining hostages. The hostages were finally released on June 30, 1985. Mr. Testrake returned to a hero’s welcome at his home in Richmond, MO. At least two movies were based on Flight 847, and Mr. Testrake wrote a book, Triumph Over Terror, which can be found at the Daviess County Library in Gallatin.

During the early 1960s, a Gallatin Rotary Committee composed of Charles Belshe, Charles Brandom, Junior Hockensmith, Hubert Tate and Floyd Tuggle, along with Gallatin newspaper publisher Joe Snyder and other civic leaders, were long looking to build a recreational lake in Daviess County. The lake was pursued in order to stabilize the economy and provide a source of water recreation.

Visions of a lake at Pattonsburg and a lake in the Honey Creek bottoms dried up under protest of landowners.
