Hamilton museum to feature permanent exhibit from the National Quilt Museum The Missouri Quilt Museum in Hamilton and The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY, have finalized an agreement that will bring the most respected and well-known collection of modern quilts to visitors to Hamilton all the time.

When the museum opens in fall 2019, the Missouri Quilt Museum will create a permanent location for quilts from The Collection of The National Quilt Museum. The quilts in this exhibit will be changed three to four times per year so visitors will have something new to see each time they visit.

The National Quilt Museum has one of the most well-known and respected collections of modern quilts in the world. The collection is made up of over 600 quilts representing the best-of-the-best in quilting from 1980 to present. National Quilt Museum CEO Frank Bennett stated, “The mission of The National Quilt Museum is to promote the growth and expansion of quilting by bringing the work of today’s quilters to new audiences. We love working with other organizations that share our passion for quilting and we look forward to having an exhibit at The Missouri Quilt Museum. This is going to be an exciting venue for quilt and art enthusiasts.”

Missouri Quilt Museum founders Ryan and Dakota Redford said, “We are delighted to partner

with the National Quilt Museum. We share in their desires to provide a forum that increases awareness and promotes visibility to the arts throughout the country. The expertise and professionalism of The National Quilt Museum will be a highlight to The Missouri Quilt Museum experience, right here in Hamilton, Missouri.”

National Quilt Museum Now in its 27th year, the National Quilt Museum promotes the growth and expansion of quilting by bringing the work of today’s quilters to new audiences through exhibits, education programs, preservation, and advocacy efforts. Their primary campus in Paducah, KY sees visitors annually from all 50 states and over 40 foreign countries. Between in facility and travelling exhibits, more than 150,000 people per year experience the art form in person through museum efforts.

The museum is committed to teaching the next generation of quilters, and its education programs annually attract more than 4,000 young people and adults. Educational opportunities include the School Block Challenge, Quilt Camp, and the museum’s acclaimed hands-on program, The Creative Stitch, in which people of all ages with no previous (co n t i n u ed on page 3 )

Use Scholar-Link All of Mother’s Day was spent at a hospital with my 92-year-old mother. But a part of the day was spent with another mother who happened to be a nurse, singing praises to Missouri’s A+ program and the opportunity it was giving her son about to graduate from high school. She was one happy mom!

It wasn’t but a few years ago that hardly anyone knew much about A+ and countless opportunities were lost simply because local school officials and parents were ignorant. The success of this program the Editor s ike is now widely known and available at many institutions of higher education in Missouri.

This comes to mind as I consider Scholar-Link, a promising program offering financial help to families confronting college decisions. Too few peoby Darryl Wilkinson ple understand the help Scholar-Link offers to households in 16 counties in Northwest Missouri.

Scholar-Link is provided through the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri. The idea is to centralize scholarships so that high school students can more easily identify regional scholarships which they may be eligible to receive. It’s an online SCHOLAR-LINK 2019 tool that eases the burden The following reveals online applications totals of filling out multiple applifrom some of the high schools in the 16-county cations. area. Daviess County students submitted only 7 applications of the total 354 applications There is no cost to stusubmitted from 16 counties (Note: Several students, parents or schools. dents created multiple accounts).

The website is easy to use.

At first the program only attracted a few school districts in St. Joseph and King City. Since then, you’d think word would spread like wildfire. But it hasn’t. Results tabulated for the Class of 2019 show that only 7 applications were submitted from Daviess County students out of the total 354 applications submitted. Maysville had no applicants; about 20 high schools only had one applicant.

Scholarship deadlines vary throughout the school year. But keeping track of deadlines and other pertinent information about the availability of scholarships for college can be a snap once you are a registered Scholar-Link applicant. It’s never too early for parents to start doing their homework on financing college plans. Hopefully, more hopefuls in the Class of 2020 and beyond will utilize ScholarLink. It’s a great tool.

State budget complete, on time b y S ta te R ep . J . Eg g l eston

While the legislature files and passes a lot of bills each session, the only bills we are constitutionally required to pass are the bills that make up the state budget.

We are also required to make sure that it is a balanced budget.

The deadline for this was 6 p.m., Friday, May 10. The House completed its part around 11 p.m. on Thursday; the Senate polished it off about 2 a.m., Friday, May 10.

Each budget bill addresses one particular area of spending.

HB1 is spending on infrastructure debt. HB 2 is spending on K-12 education. HB 3 is spending on higher education. In all, there are 17 bills that dictate how state government spends the nearly 30 billion ooseydollars it took from its citizens through various income, sales, and other taxes. Here are i of l ss si s ro some the highlights. ri the third ri r consecutive year, For the school funding formula was fully funded with a nearly $4 billion appropriation. This is on top of the Prop C 1% sales tax money, $108 million for bus transportation, and all local property tax money.

Also, an extra $3 million was added to the Parents as Teachers program, and $116 million was added to pre-school edu-

cation. So, our kids’ education should be well taken care of for the next year.

The General Assembly agreed to provide an additional $1 million in core funding for most of the state’s four-year colleges and universities. During the discussion on higher education funding, House members also fought to preserve language that prevents colleges from offering discounted tuition to students with unlawful immigration status.

The language was placed in the budget in 2015 in an effort to ensure taxpayer dollars are used only for students who are legal residents. While the Senate initially moved to remove the language, the House fought to keep it, and the two legislative bodies ultimately agreed to the House position. As a result, these students will continue to pay international tuition rates.

The budget plan also makes it a priority to fund repairs for the state’s deteriorating transportation infrastructure. It includes critical funding that is part of a proposal to fix 250 bridges statewide.

The budget contains $50 million in funding for the repairs, which would be used in conjunction with a $301 million bonding

plan that still requires House approval and also requires the state to receive a sizeable federal infrastructure grant.

In the budget, House and Senate members also agreed to allocate $50 million in funding for a cost-sharing program that will allow the state transportation department to provide a 50/50 match to counties and municipalities to improve local roads and bridges.

Of local interest, all corrections workers will receive a 3% raise in 2020, plus an additional 1% for every two years of work experience. Our correction workers are some of the most chronically underpaid state employees with virtually no step raises for experience.

With the consolidation of the two Cameron prisons and other budget prioritizations I am happy to see those workers get a raise. Initially, the step raise would not have applied to workers who had worked at a prison for several years, quit, and then came back to their job.

I worked with both the House and Senate budget chairs and Corrections accountants to find the money to get those workers benefitted for all of their years of service.

Prosperity lags in Missouri due to poor policy design b y D r. R ik H a f er

Missouri’s slow economic growth over the past 20 years is no secret. What may surprise you is that the length of this dismal track record actually is much longer.

In a recently published study, Dr. William Rogers and I studied the economic performance of Missouri since a man landed on the moon. The story is rather bleak.

If only the state had just kept pace with the national average: There would be about 1.2 million more residents in Missouri; annual earnings per job would be about $3,400 higher than it currently is; and incomes today also would be higher.

Over these 50 years the average person in Missouri watched their income grow at half the national average.

Reams of research have shown cities to be the great engines of productivity and innovation. Cities give people greater access to opportunity and actually demand less from the environment on a per person basis. Typically, cities lead the way in population and economic success. Not in Missouri.

Growth in earnings per job in Kansas City and St. Louis — and here we considered only the Missouri parts of the metro areas — fared worse than the national av-

erage. Only the Great Lakes region, which includes Detroit and other “Rust Belt” cities, did worse. When we looked at the growth in income per person, St. Louis actually beat the national average. Kansas City, however, fell far short.

If St. Louis and Kansas City are doing poorly, are there any bright spots in the state? It turns out that Missouri’s fastest growing cities are located in the center and in the south.

When looking at jobs, earnings per job, and income, Springfield and Columbia experienced higher growth rates relative to the state average. Far southwest Missouri, enjoying the economic spillover coming from Northwest Arkansas, also has prospered. But these comparisons are with the rest of the state. Relative to national averages, they are not doing quite so well.

Can’t anything be done to reverse what appears to be the inadequate economic momentum of the state and its cities? Let me note a couple of areas for reform.

Those with higher levels of education are leaving or not migrating to Missouri.

A persistent net migration out of Missouri by those with a bachelor’s degree or more is the norm. Better-educated workers are more productive. If individuals with more

education are leaving the state — and not moving here — improving future economic prosperity will be much more difficult.

Too many counties in Missouri have a large percentage of adults with a high school education or less. Insufficient

Companies in Missouri face different types of taxes. Even more problematic, within a specific category of taxes, such as corporate income taxes, different types of firms — retail, research and development, manufacturing — firms face different tax rates. Revising the tax structure to satisfy the economist’s paradigm — Typically, cities lead the way taxes should be broad based, as low as possible, and not in population and economic be complicated — would do more to improve future economic growth than maintainsuccess.

The passage of Kenneth Rothman marks a Missouri era Missouri has lost one of the most successful and charismatic House speakers I’ve covered in nearly one half century.

Kenneth Rothman, who died late April, served as speaker from 1977 to 1980. His departure as House speaker marked the passing of a Missouri legislative era.

The St. Louis County Democrat came to the speakership when there was a growing number of members that reporters nicknamed the “white hats.” The term was used to describe the motivations of a bipartisan group of lawmakers elected to office in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal of Richard Nixon.

The white hats sought fundamental change in government. Rothman was one of their leaders. Rothman was a passionate liberal Democrat. But like the other white hats, party affiliation was not a barrier. In the House, they pursued a number of major issues including consumer protection, openness in government, environmental protection, limiting special interests and equal rights.

A major supporter of white hat issues was Republican governor Kit Bond who championed several of their issues.

Rothman’s departure as House speaker after four years represented an end to

that era, which I did not fully realize at the time.

The only subsequent House speaker I’ve covered who shared some of the same characteristics of Rothman was a Republican — Catherine Hannaway (R-St. Louis County). She struck me as having Rothman’s joy of office, passion for issues, self-confidence and candor.

But Hannaway’s tenure was at a time that by Phill deep partisan divide was Brooks emerging in American politics. She ran on a partisan agenda. Besides, with a steep decline in moderates from both parties, finding a bipartisan majority on significant issues was becoming increasingly difficult.

As for Rothman, after his four years as speaker, he ran for lieutenant governor in 1980. He won by defeating a man who would become a major figure in Missouri’s political theater — U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt.

When I asked Rothman why he abandoned the House speakership for the far less powerful position of lieutenant governor, he voiced confidence that he could use the office to continue his legislative leadership. It was not to be. The spirit of

independence in the Senate blocked any lieutenant governor from significant influence.

Rothman found himself largely ignored by the more conservative body where even some fellow Senate Democrats expressed bitterness about his role in House-Senate fights when he was House speaker.

I still clearly remember the frustrations Rothman voiced to me that he no longer was a center of power or news. But, of course, a statewideelected office could be a stepping stone to higher office. But that too was not to be.

After four years as lieutenant governor, Rothman lost the governorship race to another future Missouri GOP leader, John Ashcroft.

On a personal note, I confess that I’ll deeply miss “Kenny,” as his friends knew him. There was a candor and openness from Rothman that I find lacking in so many of today’s politicians. I can’t remember him ever displaying distress. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the conflict, even when dealing with aggressive reporters.

He was a lawyer, so he was used to a

Capitol Perspectives

public adversarial process. He did not get angry very often with those who opposed his efforts. Rothman also had a humorous wit that could take the edge off of intense disagreements.

Actually, I regularly sensed joy from Rothman about being a very public leader in a process that is not always friendly.

That’s a characteristic I’ve found missing in many of today’s politicians who seek to hide behind spokespersons, operatives, staged events and closed-door caucus sessions. Kenny did not hide behind anyone.

But what I miss most is the loss of an era that Kenny represented. It was a time when political parties were not so ideologically divided as to make it impossible to forge compromises on major issues that leaders like Rothman and Bond were able to put together.

The late Kenneth Rothman is a reminder of a time when Democrats and Republicans were able to work closely together to solve Missouri’s problems and not take disagreements personally.

Editor’s Note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Journalism.

Mary Lou started the program at Gallatin for remedial reading. She did that for the next 11 years. Then Mary Lou took the fifth grade classroom for 15 more years. She retired in 1990.

Mary Lou and Covel have eight children, all graduates of GHS: Brenda Oxley, Cheryl Wemhoff, Jennifer Downey, Steve Searcy, Barbara Harris, Stanley Searcy, Carla Wilson and Linda Kurzweil.

Of the 20 grandchildren, 15 have graduated from college; three didn’t need to go; one is still in high school; and one is still in college.

Mary Lou and Covel organized the Retired Teachers Association in Daviess County, and she was secretary of the organization for many years. Beyond school activities, they liked to garden and were active in the Lions Club. She attends the Christian Church.

Three hurt in wreck in Caldwell Three people were hurt in an accident that happened at about 6:08 p.m. on May 14 in Caldwell County.

According to the highway patrol, Keagan O’Riley, 18, Clearmont, was driving west on Hwy. 36 and Robert Jewell, 83, Kidder, was northbound on Route P. Mr. Jewell was driving a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado and failed to yield and traveled in front of O’Riley’s 2014 Ford Escape, which struck the passenger side of the Silverado.

Mr. Jewell was not wearing his seat belt. He was taken by Daviess County EMS To Cameron Regional with minor injuries.

Two passengers in the O’Riley vehicle were injured, Anthony O’Riley, 50, Clearmont, had minor injuries, and Deandra O’Riley, 46, Clearmont, had moderate injuries. Both were wearing their seat belts. They were also taken to Cameron Regional

This year’s Older Americans Month theme, Connect, Create, Contribute, encourages older adults and their communities to: • Connect with friends, family, and local services and resources.

• Create through activities that promote learning, health and personal enrichment.

• Contribute time, talent and life experience to benefit others.

Mary Lou says she likes to just sit and visit with the people who come in to the Active Aging Resource Center.

“People my age have a tendency to stay at home,” Mary Lou says. “By volunteering you can get out and see people and meet people.”

Seventeen NCMC graduates were honored in their program for their academic merits, involvement, and leadership in the classroom.

Daviess County will once again be well-represented at the MSHSAA Class 1 Track and Field Championships this coming weekend in Jefferson City.

Individuals and teams from Gallatin, Pattonsburg and Winston will compete in 13 events, beginning Friday morning at Jefferson City High School.

Gallatin’s Claire Hemry, with a new school record in her pocket, will vie for medals in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Hemry captured a sectional title in the 1600 on Saturday at Lathrop High School and finished second at 3200 meters in a new GHS record time of 12:08.16, breaking the previous record of 12:10.51 set by Kailey Salmon in 2013.

In winning the 1600 meter run, Hemry turned in the best time, 5:28.63, of any of the state’s four sectional meets held Saturday.

Aidan Adkison will try for a medal in a field event this year after running with the 4x800 relay team a season ago. Adkison placed fourth at Lathrop’s Class 1 sectional in the triple jump with a leap of 39’5.75”. He will join Tristen Gibson, Taylor Teel and Ayden Wayne at state in the running of the 4x800. The GHS quartet placed third on Saturday in 8:53.09.

Graydee Rains will compete in a pair of field events for Gallatin, the discus and shot put.

Rains placed third in the shot put at sectional with a throw of 46’4” and finished second in the discus with a toss of 133’4”.

Pair of Busy Panth ers Pattonsburg’s Cameron Jones returns to the Class 1 meet to defend his triple jump crown and will be busy with three other events, the long jump, 100 and 200 meter sprints.

Jones grabbed the sectional titles in both the long jump and triple jump events. He leaped 20’2.75” to take the long jump event and turned in a 43’0.5” triple jump that was just 1.5” under his Class 1 winning leap of a year ago.

Jones also came away with the Class 1 200 meter sectional title, running 23.48 to edge out Stanberry’s Kameron Wallace (23.49) at the tape. Jones placed third in the 100 meter dash in 11.84.

Panther teammate Trevor Ireland will be in the hunt for medals in the hurdles events.

Patricia “Irene” Dowell, 75, Trenton, died May 9, 2019, at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph.

Irene was born on May 27, 1943, the daughter of Elvin and Jane (Langford) Turner in Cainsville. She was a graduate of Spickard High School. Irene was a waitress at Shirley’s Café and Crown Restaurant.

She was first married to Larry Tuttle and they later divorced.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Relevant Church and may be left at or mailed to Lindley Funeral Home, P.O. Box 47, Chillicothe, MO 64601.

Altamont man alters plate; forgery charged An Altamont man was arrested at 1:15 a.m. on May 7 for forgery and other violations by Daviess County Deputy Caleb Ireland. According to the probable cause report, Steve Periman, 46, was stopped at First Street and 165th Street, Altamont, for failing to signal at State Highway 6 at Altamont. Periman’s rear license plate lamps were not in working order and the license registration did not come back on record.

Periman later confirmed his driver’s license was revoked, and he could not produce financial responsibility for the vehicle, a dark 2003 Chevy Silverado.

Examination of the license plate revealed that a black marker had been used to make a 2015 license plate appear to be a 2019 registration.

Periman’s prior convictions include 12 driving violations that go back to 1990 and continue through 2018. He was arrested and charged with felony forgery, felony driving without a valid license, misdemeanors of failure to register a motor vehicle, failure to signal, no insurance, and an infraction for equipment failure. Judge Adkins set bond at $1,000 cash only, with a 10% deposit allowed.

G allatin F irst C h ristian Sunday’s message by Pastor Kyle Taft was based on James 3:1-18, “O Be Careful Little Tongue.” Winners of the Moth-

Eminent domain still a question in Grain Belt Express easements Legislation that could thwart a large wind-energy power line has hit a roadblock in the Missouri Senate.

Senators were unable to come to a vote late last Wednesday (May 8) on a bill prohibiting the use of eminent domain to acquire easement rights for the Grain Belt Express power line.

Democratic senators who support the project slowed debate on the bill.

The high-voltage power line is to carry wind energy from Kansas across Missouri and Illinois before hooking into a pow-

er grid in Indiana that serves eastern states. Plans call for the line to go through eight Missouri counties: Buchanan, Clinton, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Monroe, Randolph, and Ralls.

Missouri utility regulators granted approval earlier this year, which could let developers pursue condemnation if landowners won’t sell easements.

The House has passed several bills that would bar eminent domain for the project. Those bills will die if senators don’t pass them by May 17.

er’s Day drawing for two flower baskets were Sarah Dowell and Melissa Everman. Youth Pastor Ryan and Dara Beenken were recognized during the service.

They were presented gifts by the Pastoral Care Committee, and a reception was held in their honor following worship.

Prayer requests include the family of Jill Rardon, Lois Prin-

dle, Ron Cornett, and Darrell Critten. The youth will meet at the Beenken home at 7 p.m. on Wednesday for Bible study. May 15 is the deadline to register for church camp online at www.midamericadisciples.org/summer.

Next Sunday is the installation ceremony for Pastor Kyle with Regional Minister Ron Routledge officiating.
