A petition seeking to put a proposal to convert the office of Daviess County Prosecutor from part-time to full time did not attract the required number of signatures to be placed on the Nov. 6 election ballot. On Aug. 29 the county’s chief election officer, County Clerk Ronetta Burton, notified the Daviess County Commission that a petition proposing a full-time prosecutor did not attract the required 381 signatures. The deadline for the ballot was 5 p.m. on Aug. 28. The proposal will not appear on the November ballot. The idea was promoted on Facebook by Prosecuting Attorney Annie Gibson following recent elections in neighboring Caldwell, Livingston and DeKalb counties making those positions full time. The following information was posted on Facebook by Prosecutor Gibson on Aug. 26 as support for making the position full-time: ● More than 1,200 cases are handled by the prosecuting attorney’s office each fiscal year ● The prosecutor is paid for less than 16 hours per week although on call 24/7 ● The prosecutor works with 13 fulltime law enforcement officers within this jurisdiction ● The hourly rate, figured recently while preparing for a trial, amounted to $9 per hour, which compares to the average billing rate of $200 per hour for this area according to the Missouri Lawyers’ Weekly

Prosecutor Gibson met with county commissioners on Aug. 8 requesting the part-time posi(continued on page 3)

2 of 3 captured in rural Daviess Two of the three subjects who fled the scene of a property along 285th Street and Unity Avenue in Daviess County where cultivated marijuana was found have been taken into custody, according to John Hamm, Public Information Officer with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) out of Kansas City. On Aug. 27, a search warrant for cultivated marijuana was served on the property with multiple agencies involved, according to an earlier news release. As the tactical entry team entered the property, three subjects fled from the scene. With (continued on page 3)

Franklin Dunnington drove over the Honey Creek Bridge and back again before the contracting crew started painting highway stripes. So he is officially the first person to drive across the bridge that was not a highway worker. Mr. Dunnington lives just north of the bridge off Highway 13.

New bridge over Honey Creek reopens Highway 13

Contractors from L.G. Barcus and Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, reopened the Honey Creek Bridge at roughly 6 p.m. on Aug. 31. Crews closed the bridge in mid-May for a replacement project. Due to forecasted weather crews made the decision to reopen the roadway to traffic while work continues on the bridge over the

next two weeks. Motorists may experience occasional lane drops and traffic delays due to the ongoing work. Though the roadway has reopened, motorists are urged to continue to use caution, and eliminate distractions. Workers and machinery will still be on the roadsides, close to the roadway, completing parts of the project. All work is weather permitting and sched-

ules are subject to change. MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive. The bridge over Honey Creek just south of Gallatin on Route 13 has been a pathway for motorists since 1934. See the back page in this week’s North Missourian for more about the building of Highway 13.

GHS unveils new scoreboard

Gallatin R-5 High School dedicated its new football scoreboard Friday night prior to kickoff of the game against Hamilton. Donors to the project, Terry Implement, BTC Bank, Gallatin Truck & Tractor, Landmark Manufacturing and Coca-Cola, joined Superintendent Dr. Bryan Copple on the field during the ceremony and were introduced to an appreciative crowd. Local contractors Will Salmon and Matt Adkison installed the new 24x15 foot scoreboard on the east end of the end zone next to the old scoreboard, which has been officially decommissioned after many years of service.

FEC Youth Benefit Fund events net $45,000

The 26th Annual Dinner-auction and Golf Tournament for the Farmers’ Electric Area Youth Benefit Fund (AYBF) raised over $45,000 raised this year. The monies raised included $5,300 from nearly 900 Farmers’ Electric Cooperative members who participate in Operation Round Up each month. The main auction raised $11,420. The highest bid item of

the evening, a seven-day stay at a Florida condominium, went for $2,100. Other main auction items that brought top dollar included a two night “stay and play package” at Osage National Golf Course and two 2018 Mizzou football season passes. The three levels of the silent auction raised a combined $6,700. Chillicothe’s Elks Lodge hosted

the Aug. 25 dinner-auction that was co-sponsored by Hedrick Medical Center. The fundraising continued Aug. 27 at the Green Hills Golf Course. There were 49 teams of three participating in the golf tournament co-sponsored for the 20th consecutive year by PepsiCola Bottling of Chillicothe. The groups were split into morning and afternoon flights.

Governor appoints Judge Chapman to Court of Appeals Gov. Parson appointed Judge Thomas N. Chapman to the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District on Aug. 29. Judge Chapman succeeds Judge James E. Welsh who retired in March. “I am proud to name Judge Tom Chapman as a member of the Western District Court of Appeals in Missouri,” said Gov. Par-

son in a news release. “Judge Chapman is a distinguished jurist whose rural perspective, I believe, will add additional balance to the court,” said Gov. Parson. “I have high confidence that he will continue to be a fair arbiter of the law, faithfully interpret the law as written, and reasonably consider decisions made at

the trial level in his own evaluation. Additionally, I greatly appreciate the work of the appellate judicial commission in submitting such a strong panel of qualified candidates, which made choosing especially difficult.” A native of Chillicothe, Judge Chapman earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Westminster College.

OPINION

Sept. 5, 2018

Searching for truth by Freida Marie Crump

A headache averted If you like holding this newspaper in your hands as you read, then good news! I am gratified by the International Trade Commission’s vote to not impose permanent tariffs on the Canadian newsprint we use here at Gallatin Publishing Company. The rationale for this decision is yet to be revealed, but the unanimous 5-0 vote on Aug. 29 renews my faith that right can prevail. First, there is a point of clarification I feel compelled to share with you. I previously linked the tariff petition with farm tariff positions proposed by the White House. That insinuation was wrong. Correctly stated, the petition to put a tariff on newsprint came from a single American company using existing trade laws. The president does have some power to impose tariffs under his national security authority, as he did in the steel/aluminum cases, but there has been no indication that such an action is considered in the newsprint cases. Although heartened by this ITC decision, the damage in some respects is already done. Many decisions made across the paper-reliant industries that have occurred over the past sev-

en months may be permanent. Some newspapers across the country have folded. Many have trimmed pages or paper sizes. Lots of jobs went unfilled. Decisions by some producers to get out of the market because of the tariffs could still affect the supply/demand balance.

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Whether removing the tariffs will enable any of these decisions to be modified is unknown. My homework in trying to figure out the impact for our printing customers can now go to the trash bin. But, in reality, it’s not that simple. The prices we pay for newsprint have increased substantially since January (up 12%, from $651 to $739 per short ton) when Canadian suppliers were forced to pay the proposed new tax at the border. A change in the tax was implemented in March (20% increase, lowered from an

initial 30% increase), and Canadian paper companies have been paying at the border since then. Deposits have been held by the U.S. government awaiting final determination. We’re told that the money paid in by the producers thus far will be sorted out and returned. The whole process takes a couple of months. Will our newsprint prices decrease back to levels before this fiasco was attempted? We can only hope so. The market will determine that. Regardless, the ITC’s vote announced last Wednesday is good news, welcomed here and as refreshing as last week’s 2-inch rain that (hopefully) broke months and months of drought. The National Newspaper Association, of which we are members, points to a lot of work in securing this decision. I read where our specific newsprint provider, Resolute Inc., took a lead part in the coalition of industries opposing the tariff. It also took a law firm, sympathetic elected officials, and a groundswell of opinion expressed by publishers, editors, and communicators of all sorts including voices from the general public. My point in sharing all this? Getting involved matters.

Shaping the courts for decades by U.S. Senator Roy Blunt

One of the most important legacies a president can leave is the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court issues decisions that have far-reaching impacts on everything from individual liberty to the economy. Last year the Senate confirmed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and soon the Senate will put another well-qualified jurist, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, on our nation’s highest court. During my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh, he and I had a good discussion about his judicial philosophy and how it would guide his decisionmaking process on the Supreme Court. Based on our conversation, along with his outstanding judicial record and legal background, I believe Judge Kavanaugh is the right choice to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. More than 300 opinions and over 166,000 pages of materials from Judge Kavanaugh’s time in the executive branch are available for public review, making this one of the most transparent confirmation processes of any Supreme Court nominee. The full Senate will have an opportunity to consider Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination after his confirmation hearings, and I’m confident he’ll be sworn in later this year. Once Judge Kavanaugh is sworn in, President Trump will have filled two Supreme Court vacancies with judges who, in their early 50s, could go on to serve two to three decades after the president leaves office. The late Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, served on the court three decades after he was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. Retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy served

30 years as well. Both of the Reagan appointees served for years after President Reagan’s death. President Trump is also on track to leave a lasting legacy on the U.S. Circuit Courts, which play a vital role in our constitutional system of government. Circuit court judges sit on the courts just below the Supreme Court and are appointed to lifetime terms. Because only a small fraction of cases decided by circuit courts are taken up by the Supreme Court, the makeup of circuit courts has a significant impact on the law. In the past year alone, circuit courts have issued more than 36,000 decisions, compared to just 69 for the Supreme Court. Circuit courts can set precedents on a wide range of issues, including religious liberty, regulatory reform, and the 2nd amendment. Senate Republicans have already confirmed 26 circuit court judges since President Trump took office, the most by this point in any presidency. The president’s judicial nominees now make up one out of every seven circuit court seats. With 12 remaining vacancies on the circuit court, President Trump has additional opportunities to shape our judicial system for years to come. The historic progress Senate Republicans have made in confirming President Trump’s well-qualified judicial nominees is one of the most important accomplishments of this administration and Senate. I look forward to supporting Judge Kavanaugh as his confirmation process moves forward, and I’ll continue working on the other important issues facing our nation, like combating the opioid epidemic, strengthening workforce development, and more.

Greetings from Poosey. Herb and I are always looking for a new adventure, an excursion to some place we’ve never been and although I’ve usually got to do most of the planning, this time Herb himself was the inspiration for our trip. “Herb! I have chosen our destination! It’s a place you’ve been talking about for two years but we’ve never actually visited!” Herb selected an expression from his vast catalog of dumbfounded looks and I laid it on him. “Honey, we’re going to The Deep State!” Ever since the last presidential election Herb and his ilk have proclaimed the existence of The Deep State, a nefarious underground organization of liberals in government and the media who secretly control everything from who runs for office to the price supports for cabbage farmers. These Deep Staters are supposedly all around us, but like Buffalo Gnats we aren’t aware of their presence until they sting us. Herb was stunned. This is not an unusual state of mind for him, but this time he was truly flummoxed. “We’re ...uh ...I mean, where are we gonna find it?” I told him that according to the news networks that he watches, The Deep State is everywhere so it shouldn’t be hard to locate. Sure enough, when I Googled it I found the place marked Deep State so I packed a couple days’ worth of underwear and denture cleanser and off we took into the wild blue conspiracy. Turns out the local office of The Deep State was just a short drive from our house and it was easy to find with the sign, “You are now entering The Deep State” in deep blue neon ...flashing ...in bold print. Herb said, “I had no idea it was this easy to find.” I reminded him that those who talk about the Deep State all the time claim that it’s everywhere and omnipresent so it was no trick to discover its whereabouts. “This is the place, Herb. The place where all the dark liberal plots are hatched ... you know, the real seat of government.” And our investigation was made even easier when we saw the notice, “Guided Tours Given Every Hour.” It was just our luck that the next tour was about to depart, so Herbie and I climbed onto the little Dark State Trolley as our guide picked up his microphone. “Welcome aboard, folks! I’m Donnie! I’ll be your tour guide through the deepest secrets of the Deep State. Any questions, feel free to shout them out.” We’d not gone but maybe a hundred yards when Donnie pulled to the curb and pointed to a glass-walled building on our right. “This is the department of elections. They’re the folks who determine who’ll get the most votes in all 50 states. You can vote all you like, but the Deep State makes the decisions. Is that just grand or what?” The guide told us that we had so many stops to make that we wouldn’t have time to get out and take pictures. “The Deep State is really deep,” he said as he let out the clutch and Mr. Trolley trollied onward. “Now look at the tall building on your left!” I peered out from the trolley’s little blue canopy and spotted a 12-story building with thousands of wires coming from each floor. “This is our legislative tower,” he said. “In this tower we have a direct line from the Deep State to every progressive legislator in every state and Washington. Then the yellow lines are connected to the pentagon, the silver to the FBI, the red to the CIA as every branch of government gets its orders from this one building. We cover the world. Sort of like Wal-Mart.” I was totally impressed and Herb’s upper plate dropped into his lap. “I’ll have to slow down a bit now,” he said. “We’re driving over an underground bunker. It’s the Dark State Media Cave ... the place where we control most of the mainstream media. Just one word from deep inside the cavern and we can tell every network, newspaper, and website what to say. Is that efficiency or what?” Then he grinned, “We have every sort of media critter under our control ... that is except for the Fox.” Then just as we turned a corner we came face to face with a huge round globe resembling the Epcot Center. “Is that supposed to be the Earth?” I asked. “You mean the Dark State goes to other countries, too?” Donnie gave me what I thought a bit of a condescending grin and said, “Ma’am, we control the entire planet. This is our international headquarters.” The tour was nearing its end and I couldn’t help myself, I had to ask. “Uh... excuse me, but why in the history of the world hasn’t even a shred of proof been found of the Dark State’s existence?” Our guide looked at me, checked his watch, and said, “I hope you’ve enjoyed your tour. Now hang onto your seats. We’re going through a swamp.” You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Echoes of John McCain in Missouri’s Rob Schaaf The death of John McCain has led me to reflect about his similarities with a Missouri state senator. Like the deceased Arizona senator, the person about whom I write was a true maverick in his Republican Party, regularly standing up to pressures from GOP leaders to tow the party line. Like McCain, he reached out to Democrats, even when it upset his fellow Republicans. Like the former GOP presidential nominee, this GOP Missouri senator made the growing financial dominance of special interests in politics a major legislative target. The person I’m writing about is Sen. Rob Schaaf (R-St. Joseph). He was so focused on curtailing what he termed “dark money” of hidden special interest funding that he made it the only two bills he introduced in this, his last year, in Missouri’s Senate. Similar to John McCain’s experience with a Republican president, Schaaf came after attacks from Eric Greitens for Schaaf ’s criticism of the Republican governor -- particularly for Greitens’ acceptance of large amounts of money from secret donors. The former governor’s anger was displayed when Greitens’ secretly-funded

advocacy organization disclosed the senator’s personal cell phone number in digital-media attacks. Both McCain and Schaaf had the courage to speak out about their party’s top leader, despite the consequences. That boldness of political independence in challenging party leaders is at the heart of what I find the most striking similarity between McCain and Schaaf. Schaaf regularly stood up to party pressures for by Phill rooks conformity. This year, he led a bipartisan multiday filibuster against an electric-utility bill pushed by party leaders that critics attacked for allowing rate increases without prior approval by the Public Service Commission. He caved in only after Republicans leaders threatened to shut off his debate with a parliamentary procedure normally used only against filibusters by the minority party. Schaaf came under statewide public attack for his resistance to the efforts for a prescription drug monitoring program because of his concerns about privacy protections. The attacks suggested Schaaf simply was trying to protect fellow physicians from scrutiny. But there’s another

side to this story. Some of those bills would let a government worker with access to the records report a doctor’s prescriptions to police without a court warrant. Few of those bills recognized the difference in prescriptions by most doctors compared to those with many patients in hospice care needing end-of-life pain-killing drugs. I’m not picking sides. But it was a compelling debate that got overshadowed by the attacks on Schaaf. John McCain and Rob Schaaf had an unusually open relationship with reporters, speaking their minds about anything that was asked. I cannot remember a single time Schaaf refused to answer one of my questions -- no matter how sensitive to internal political intrigues. Another similarity between the two was the passion for maintaining the historic traditions of their legislative chambers that protected the rights and powers of members from both parties. A few years ago, Schaaf was threatened by the Senate’s leader that he’d be removed as a committee chair if he persisted appealing the presiding officer’s

Capitol Perspectives

ruling on control of the debate. I cannot remember the last time a member of the majority party rose to challenge the leadership governance of the chamber in demanding a formal motion. I was reminded of that display of independence when I saw McCain give a thumbs down in front of the U.S. Senate’s top leader to cast the deciding vote defeating repeal of the Affordable Care Act because of the failure to seek a bipartisan agreement. I fear that the voices for senatorial independence and bipartisanship may be fading. ationally, commentators have predicted there may not be anyone to replace the strong voice of John McCain for independence. Here in Missouri, after Rob Schaaf ’s term-limited departure in January, I’ll be watching to see if another senator rises in Missouri’s Senate with outspoken courage Schaaf displayed.

USDA agencies should relocate to Kansas City by Cong res s man Sam G rav es

Thomas Jefferson once said, “The government closest to the people serves the people best.” I believe he is absolutely right. There’s a reason why the information, regulations, and rules coming out of Washington, D.C. don’t always match reality. Recently, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that they intend to move more of their operations closer to the people by relocating the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture out of our nation’s capital, saving money and operating closer to the people they serve. As a result, these agencies are now searching for their new location. This is a step in the right direction by the Trump Administration. It makes no sense for federal government agencies whose core functions are to serve the rural population to be packed into expensive buildings in the Washington, D.C. metro area, costing us more and potentially benefiting us less. The Economic Research Service looks at trends and emerging issues in agriculture, food, the environment and rural America. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture invests

in initiatives that ensure the long-term viability of agriculture. I can’t think of a location better than Missouri to carry out those missions. That’s why I joined with my colleagues Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Emanuel Cleaver to lead a bipartisan effort to suggest that Kansas City would be the perfect location. The USDA has already recognized that they function better outside of Washington, DC, by previously relocating the Risk Management Agency (RMA) and the Food Safety Administration (FSA) to Kansas City. Kansas City has a talented workforce and a lower cost-of-living that is higher quality. Additionally, we are a transportation hub for the Midwest and you can’t get much more centrally located in the United States than Kansas City. I believe the USDA recognized what we already knew when they relocated the RMA and the FSA here. For those same reasons, we are well-positioned to attract these other agencies. No doubt this would be a boon to our economy bringing more jobs to the area, but I’m excited that even more core functions related to agriculture will be much closer to the people.

AYBF event raises $45,000 (from page 1) In 1993, Farmers’ Electric Cooperative established the Area Youth Benefit Fund, a 501(c)3 charity to provide financial assistance toward the payment of medical bills for children 18 years of age and under. The fund is designed to assist families with children who have been ill or injured in which the parents do not have enough resources or health insurance to cover the medical costs. The fund operates in the coun

ties of Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Linn, Livingston and Ray. A family that resides in these counties does not have to be a member of the Cooperative to receive financial assistance. In the last 26 years, more than $751,000 has been distributed to 698 area families.

Comparing droughts -- better or worse By Tim Baker Extension Horticulture Specialist

There are many ways to compare droughts. I think in many ways, our drought this year is not as bad as 2012, but in some ways, it is worse. Local comparisons are difficult to make because of the location factor … some areas in some years may receive more or less than other places. Therefore, you have to look at the overall trends. On my drought web page (http://extension.missouri.edu/ nwhort/drought.aspx), I have several comparisons that you can see. One of the first projects I decided to do was create a video comparing the drought monitors (DM) for each year, starting in January. You can see that we started out 2012 in NW Missouri in pretty good shape. It wasn’t until the DM of May 22, 2012, that some NW Missouri counties even became abnormally dry. However, we were already abnormally dry when we entered 2018. This is because the last half of 2017 had experienced below normal rainfall, with areas abnormally dry or even in drought from time to time. So the soil profile was already moisture deficient when we entered 2018. Another project I have on my web page is photos which compare the same locations at the same time of the month in 2012 and 2018. This, of course, can be wildly variable, depending on whether an area received rainfall or not in each year. While we have experienced some hot days in 2018, it is not nearly as hot as 2012. Much of the problem in 2012 came not only

from the drought, but also from the very high temperatures. This increased evapotranspiration (ET) rates, and thus the water demand for plants of all kinds, including trees. While high ET rates certainly reduced the amount of soil moisture very quickly, the soil moisture profile was actually in fairly good shape until later in 2012. In contrast, our soil moisture started out in poor shape in 2018, since we had been abnormally dry throughout the last half of 2017. We can also compare the situation with our city reservoirs in both years. Several cities have been hit hard, including Cameron and Hamilton. I discussed the situation with the water plant for Cameron. They have a reservoir that they pump from when the situation in their main reservoir becomes critical. In 2012-2013, the level of that auxiliary reservoir still had nine inches of water left at the lowest point. This year, they have already reached the lowest point they can pump from. In other words, it’s lower. So is the drought of 2018 better than the drought of 2012? Looking at trees, and the amount of heat, I would say we are better off this year. However, considering the soil profile deficiency we started out with in 2018, it has potential to be worse than 2012. It just depends on how soon dependable rains start again, and how much we get. And from the situation with city reservoirs, we are definitely worse off this year than in 2012. Another comparison will be crop yields in both years. That comparison will have to wait until the numbers come in.

Three vehicles were involved in an accident that injured seven people, one seriously. On Highway 33 one mile south of Maysville.

Friends of Gallatin receives $1,000 Shopko grant for Candy Cane Shop Friends of Gallatin, a local non-profit, is pleased to announce it has received a $1,000 grant from the Shopko Foundation. These funds will support the Christmas around the Square Christmas store for children in Daviess County. The Christmas Around the Square Festival Chairmen for 2018, Judy Elbert, Sally Black and Cyd Terry, accepted the check from Peggy Simmons, manager at Gallatin’s Shopko, on Aug. 29.

Where’s the meat? Missouri is the first state to take steps to prevent misrepresentation of products as meat that are not derived from livestock or poultry. The Missouri Department of Agriculture is providing guidance to its Meat and Poultry Inspection Program to implement the law. Products must include a prominent statement on the front of the package, immediately before or immediately after the product name, that the product is “plant-based,” “veggie,” “lab-grown,” “lab-created” or a comparable qualifier. No enforcement referrals will be made until Jan. 1, 2019. To view a full list of the guidelines, please visit Agriculture.Mo.Gov.

ed throughout the year. Christmas around the Square is one of the events that Friends of Gallatin holds every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. All of the activities that are planned throughout the day are free of charge to the families that come to the event. The event is family oriented and the entertainment is suitable for the entire family. This will be the sixth year Friends of Gallatin has sponsored Christmas around the square and the second year for the Candy Cane Christmas Shop for the children in the community. Last year over 300 children took part in the event. The children were able to shop free of charge for their families due to the donations received.

A much-needed resurfacing project through Cameron has been underway since late July. The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Herzog Contracting Corporation to complete the U.S. Route 36 resurfacing project. The first stage of the project stretching from Grindstone Creek to just past the U.S. Route 69 ramps is nearing completion. The second stage began Sept. 4 where the first stage ended and continued east to just past the county line. The work will be conducted as nighttime operations from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will require the closure of the I-35 ramps. Each ramp will be closed multiple nights to complete milling and resurfacing. This portion of the work is scheduled to be completed by Sunday morning, Sept. 9. During the project, traffic control and message boards will be in place alerting motorists of the work and planned ramp closures. All work is weather permitting and could be rescheduled.

Panthers maul Bobcats, 58-12, in GRC West Pattonsburg’s Panthers took down Grand River Conference Western Division opponent Braymer, 58-12, to move to 2-0 on the season and in league play. The Panthers rolled to a 50-0 lead and had no trouble ending the game by rule at half time. Quarterback Steven Willhite tossed five touchdown passes, completing 16-of-20 pass attempts along the way. On the receiving end of TD tosses were Cameron Jones (2), Patrick Cowley, Brett Emig and Dakota Eaton. Willhite and Jones each rushed for touchdowns as well. Jones connected with Eaton with a late TD pass. Cowley (2), Carter Crone, Trevor Ireland and Colin Briggs each tacked on two point conversions, either by run or pass reception. The Panthers look to stay unbeaten in the GRC next week when they host the North Andrew Cardinals.

Hamilton’s balanced offense put up enough points Friday night to turn back upset-minded Gallatin, 21-13, in the latest installment of the 100-year rivalry. Friday night marked Hamilton’s 11th straight win in the series and the first single digit margin of victory since 2005. Gallatin last won in the series, 39-21, in 2007. The contest started well for the Bulldogs, despite the fact that the Hornets drove the length of the field on the game’s opening drive. Gallatin’s defense held three times inside the 10yard line and an illegal procedure penalty against Hamilton pushed the ball back to the seven and set up a fourth and goal situation. Hornet quarterback Ryan Cook looked for running room but Tom Crouse speared in to make his third tackle of the series that kept the Hornets out of the end zone. The Bulldogs could do nothing offensively in their opening series and in less than a minute gave the ball back to the Hornets. Sophomore running back Sawyer Morrow would score on a four-yard run and kick the ex-

Brice Garnett pulls off top 20 finish at Dell Championship

Brice Garnett shot a final round 69 to finish in an 8-way tie for 12th place on Monday in the Dell Technologies Championship held in Boston, MA. Monday marked his second top 20 finish in his last three tournaments and moved him up 18 spots to 63rd place in FedEx Cup playoff standings. Garnett stood as high as 8th place on Monday before falling back into a tie with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Justin Spieth, and three shots ahead of Tiger Woods. The Gallatin native finished six shots off the winning total of 268 (16 under par) posted by Bryson Chambeau, who won his second consecutive tournament on the PGA Tour. This week the tour moves to Newtown Square, PA, for the BMW Championship.

Former Hornet golfer excels at Elmhurst College

The exploits of Gallatin R-5 grad and Missouri Western freshman golfer Jett Simmons are well known, but one of his friends and former high school rivals is showing his mettle at the college level. Ethan Green, 2018 Penney High grad, is a freshman leader of the Elmhurst (Ill.) College varsity golf team. Green, on Tuesday, shot the lowest 36-hole score of any Elmhurst Blue Jay golfer in at least a decade. Green’s five under par round of 139 tied him for first place in the individual standings in the Aurora University Double Gun Invitational held at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course in Bristol, Ill. Green accepted the second place trophy for his efforts after a scorecard tiebreaker. Green was a four-time all-district, sectional and all-state performer at Penney High School. For Jett Simmons and the Missouri Western golf team, the season opens next Monday at the Mule Invitational in Warrensburg.

tra point for a 7-0 lead. The Hornets recovered a fumble late in the first quarter and that would lead to another TD with :36 on the clock. Senior Derek Aiken raced in from 10 yards out and Morrow’s PAT pushed Hamilton’s lead to 14-0. The Bulldogs ran only five offensive plays in the first quarter and just a dozen in the first half, for negative total yardage. Morrow broke loose for a 41yard scoring run early in the third quarter as the Hornets threatened to turn the game into a rout, but the Bulldogs found some offensive life and positive yards moments later. Aidan Adkison returned the ensuing kickoff 33 yards to finally put the Bulldogs on the Hornet side of the field. A Drayton Harris to Adkison pass covering 25 yards moved the ball to Hamilton’s 30 yard line. Adkison capped the drive with a 30 yard scoring run on a jet sweep. Adrian Hernandez’s extra point kick missed wide left. An interception by Gaven Gray helped set up Gallatin’s second score of the third period. Haden Bradford bounced off the left side for a 4-yard TD at the 2:00 mark and the Bulldogs pulled to within 21-13 after the PAT kick. Gallatin’s defense continued to be rock solid in the third quarter, holding the Hornets on three plays and forcing a short punt that set the Bulldogs up on the Hornet 46 as time elapsed in the quarter, but mistakes continued to haunt offensive efforts. A holding penalty doomed a drive in Hornet territory and Gray downed a Tristen Gibson punt on the Hornet 4-yard line. The Hornets could move only out to the 11 and Adkison’s punt return set up promising field position for the Bulldogs on the Hornet 26. An interception by Hamilton’s Cale Whitt gave the ball back to the Hornets and allowed them to wind the clock down to under a minute left in the game before turning the ball back over on downs. Four subsequent incomplete passes would give the ball back to the Hornets with 36 seconds left. The Bulldogs managed only 103 yards of total offense compared to over 300 by the Hornets.

Lady Bulldogs fall 2-1 to Polo in pitchers’ duel Gallatin’s Lady Bulldogs outhit the Polo Lady Panthers, 4 to 3, last Thursday in their home opener but fell in seven innings, 2-1, thanks in part to three errors in the third inning. Polo took a 2-0 lead in the third, despite no hits off Caragan Baker, and that lead held up until the bottom of the sixth when Gallatin pushed across its lone run. Karley Salmon, who had two of Gallatin’s four hits, reached first on an error and advanced to second on a second error. A ground ball out by Addison Burns moved her to third. A 2-out single by Zoe Bradford brought Salmon home. Essie Williamson walked to open

Gallatin’s half of the seventh inning but the Lady Panthers were able to get out of the inning unscathed. Baker took the loss for Gallatin despite allowing no earned runs. She struck out four and walked three. Shelby Copeland picked up the win for Polo. Weather permitting, Gallatin takes on defending Grand River Conference champ Trenton tomorrow (Thursday) at home. Trenton brings a 7-0 record into the meeting. Gallatin travels to Putnam County next Monday and will be back home Tuesday to face Princeton.

GHS golfers battle weather, top Maysville on the road Gallatin Lady Bulldog golfers are dodging inclement weather and less than adequate course conditions this fall, and as a result, have only last Thursday’s win to their credit.

Corsages for sale for prom Be looking for Bulldog mum corsages on sale. The prom lock-in supporters will be selling the corsages as a fund-raiser for the prom lock-in. Students will be going to Power Play after the prom. The corsages are $12. Order forms will be available at the football game this Friday night and also at the Gallatin R-5 School.

Ally Johnson shot a round of 48 to lead the Lady Bulldogs to a 221 to 243 victory over Maysville last week. Jacklyn Maize shot a 50 to take the runnerup spot. Claire Hemry shot 60 and Jessica Hart carded a 63 for the GHS varsity. Libby Endicott was the fifth varsity player. Gallatin’s jayvee team defeated Maysville, 286 to 296. Tuesday’s scheduled meet at Albany was cancelled due to poor course conditions. The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to play at Chillicothe today (Wednesday), weather permitting, and will open their home schedule Thursday against Hamilton, Lawson and Trenton. The annual Gallatin Invitational Tournament will be held next Tuesday at Daviess County Country Club.

Tri-County R-7 tax rate increases; admission set The Tri-County R-7 Board of Education set the combined tax rate for 2018 at 4.5037 during a special meeting on Aug. 23. The new rate, an increase from last year, was set at 4.2372, and the temporary rate is 0.2665. The increase is due to the Hancock Amendment. Assessed valuation dropped and the rate increased as a result to balance the effect. Previous year’s rates had been dropping when the assessed valuation was increasing. The board set admission prices to athletic events at the following rates: baseball/softball admission is $3 for adults, $1 for students, and $1 for senior citizens. Basketball admission is $4

for adults, $2 for students, and $1 for senior citizens. Family passes are $40. Family passes are for a household and are honored for all seasons at all Tri-County home games. The board moved to cash the maturing CD and seek bids for reinvestment at the regular September meeting. An executive session was held for personnel. The substitute teachers list was updated. An extra duty contract for cheerleading was offered to RaCail King pending a background check. The next regular meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 10.

Missouri opens with a win, hosts Wyoming next b y Benj amin Herrold It was a bit jarring on Saturday at Faurot Field to see the south end zone open, with the bleachers torn down as part of an ongoing renovation project. It was like someone had left the door open, and the sprawling scene of a college football game just abruptly ended shortly beyond the south end zone. That view was the only thing mildly out of the ordinary Saturday, as Missouri rolled to a 5114 win over Tennessee-Martin, a team from lower Football Championship Subdivision. The Skyhawks gave it a shot, but the Tigers (1-0) had them outgunned.

Under coach Barry Odom, with quarterback Drew Lock running the offenses, Missouri runs up huge numbers against overmatched teams. It’s an almost unavoidable byproduct of their explosive style, and Saturday was a parade of touchdowns. But it was a nice start to the season. Missouri got a comfortable win to get the season going. Tennessee-Martin got a nice check for their efforts. And fans who were looking for relief from the relentless sun and hot, humid conditions could leave those unforgiving metal bleachers early, knowing the game was (continued on Page 10)

class B felony count of receiving stolen property, five class C felony counts of receiving stolen property, and seven C felony counts of forgery. The B felony carries 5-15 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. The C felonies, at the time of the charges, carry up to seven years in prison and a fine of $5,000. Maxwell’s sentence assessment report was filed on Aug. 9. She has been free on $100,000 bond. The defendant waived jury sentencing during a pre-trial conference on June 15. According to Daviess County Prosecu-

tor Annie Gibson, several plea offers were extended, and all were rejected by the defendant. S Judge Thomas R. Alley will also rule on several motions filed by Maxwell’s attorney, Kenneth Hensley. Hensley filed for a judgment of acquittal at the close of the jury trial on June 28. He also filed two motions on July 20, one for a new trial and one to investigate juror non-disclosure. According to Daviess County Prosecutor Gibson, the defense typically files these motions after a trial, and the judge will hear the motions at the sentencing hearing.

USDA secretary announces details of assistance for farmers impacted by unjustified retaliation U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue has announced details of actions the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will take to assist farmers in response to trade damage from unjustified retaliation by foreign nations. President Donald J. Trump directed Secretary Perdue to craft a short-term relief strategy to protect agricultural producers while the Administration works on free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets in the long run to help American farmers compete globally. As announced last month, USDA will authorize up to $12 billion in programs, consistent with our World Trade Organization obligations. “Early on, the President instructed me, as Secretary of Agriculture, to make sure our farmers did not bear the brunt of unfair retaliatory tariffs. After careful analysis by our team at USDA, we have formulated our strategy to mitigate the trade damages sustained by our farmers. Our farmers work hard, and are the most productive in the world, and we aim to protect them,” said Secretary Perdue. These programs will assist agricultural producers to meet the costs of disrupted markets: USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will administer the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) to provide payments to corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean, and wheat producers starting September 4, 2018. An

announcement about further payments will be made in the coming months, if warranted. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will administer a Food Purchase and Distribution Program to purchase up to $1.2 billion in commodities unfairly targeted by unjustified retaliation. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will distribute these commodities through nutrition assistance programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and child nutrition programs. Through the Foreign Agricultural Service’s (FAS) Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP), $200 million will be made available to develop foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products. The program will help U.S. agricultural exporters identify and access new markets and help mitigate the adverse effects

of other countries’ restrictions. “President Trump has been standing up to China and other nations, sending the clear message that the United States will no longer tolerate their unfair trade practices, which include non-tariff trade barriers and the theft of intellectual property. In short, the President has taken action to benefit all sectors of the American economy – including agriculture – in the long run,” said Secretary Perdue. “It’s important to note all of this could go away tomorrow, if China and the other nations simply correct their behavior. But in the meantime, the programs we are announcing today buy time for the President to strike long-lasting trade deals to benefit our entire economy.”

Think About It

How many times in John does it say that you can ask God in Jesus name and God will do it for you. Have you read? Why don't you believe? If you believe, why haven't you asked God for rain, in the name of Jesus? The only reason God doesn't answer prayers is because you call yourself a sinner. Why do you go to church if you call yourself a sinner? No a church isn't for sinners, a church is supposed to represent sinners. Jesus takes your sins away, does your church? Yes I represent Jesus and can help you live without sin! With God’s Love John E. Wood 660-593-3332

A ltamont U nited Method ist Lesson focus was on the first three days of creation, light and darkness, sky and water, land and sea and vegetation, from Genesis 1:12. We had an attendance of 36 people enjoying homemade ice cream, cookies and cupcakes. Five different flavors were made by Betty Peters, Susie, Francie, Mary Wilson and Laurie Roll. Special music was provided by Jack Malo, three friends from St. Joseph, and Kelsey Peterson singing “Amazing Grace” and “Someone in the Kitchen with Nina.” How nice to see green grass again. Thank you, Lord, for the nice rains. Business meeting will be held after church this Sunday preparing for charge conference. L ake V iking On Sunday, Pastor Robert Nelson began a series of sermons on “John the Baptist,” who was he and why did he come? The main scripture this week was Isaiah 40:3-8. The series will end on Sept. 16. Following the worship service that day, the Lake Viking Church will have a baptism service at the lake. The Lake Viking Church Youth

Mizzou football in hand. Missouri led 28-0 early in the second quarter and 38-7 at the half. The Tigers avoided pouring on the points too bad in the second half, but the offense still put up some big numbers. Lock basically had a light shootaround, completing 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Emanuel Hall made the most of his four catches, racking up 171 yards and two touchdowns. Missouri had 553 yards of offense, including 394 passing yards. The schedule gradually gets more difficult now, with a home game against Wyoming, a trip to Purdue, and then a huge home game with Georgia. Missouri is still a big favorite against Wyoming (6 p.m. on ESPN2/ESPNU), but the Cowboys can fight back a lot more than TennesseeMartin. Wyoming showed a strong defense in a season-opening win over New Mexico State, and then hung tough with Washington State before losing 41-19 on Saturday. Coach Craig Bohl had

tremendous success at North Dakota State before coming to Laramie, where he has gradually built up the Wyoming program. They played in the Mountain West Conference title game in 2016, and lost a halftime lead to Boise State last year or they could’ve played in the conference title game again. Wyoming is a fairly experienced team. The defense is the team’s strength. The offense was not good last year, but could show some progress this year. Missouri opened as more than a two-touchdown favorite, but this is more of a test than the opening game. Another high scoring performance against a well-coached, quality defense would be impressive. If the Tiger defense doesn’t look good against Wyoming, it would be an early season red flag. It would be encouraging to see the Tigers play well again with the trip to Purdue coming up Sept. 15. Wyoming can be feisty, but this should be another solid win for Missouri.

A bridge not far…

Looking back between now and 1934 when the original Honey Creek Bridge was built in Daviess County

These past 8 4 years, from 1934 to 2018 , is hardly the space of a lifetime. But a lot of history happened between these dates. Y et three things remain constant despite the many, many changes: the Honey Creek Bridge on Highway 13, elections, and the annual fall festival. These two years, 1934 and 2018 , also had another historical event in common — a drought. Here’s a look back at Daviess County in 1934:

●Honey Creek Bridge built in 1934

The original Honey Creek Bridge that is now replaced on Highway 13 south of Gallatin was built 84 years ago, along with Highway 13. The “highway” was graveled, not paved. And Route K, also built during this period, was a dirt road -- not even graveled. Still, both were considered great improvements. The contract for building Highway 13 through Daviess County was let on Jan. 19, 1934. It was among the last roads in the state’s secondary system to be constructed. The contracts were let in eight different sections, most of them three and four miles each. The 164 miles of roadway was estimated to cost $1,903,300. The call was for 237 men, skilled and unskilled, to report Jan. 25 and Feb. 1, for work on Highway No. 13 construction. The call asked for timekeepers, office men, concrete foremen, grading foremen, carpenters, steel workers, painters, blacksmiths, pump men, steel painters, mechanics, tractor men, and unskilled laborers. Highway 13 was to be completed in five months. The work was in addition to Public Works Administration (PWA) projects. A staff of highway engineers and assistants located in Gallatin for work on Highway 13 on Feb. 1, and also for a farmto-market highway, Route K. The staff included Robert Shottenkirk of Gallatin. Work started on Highway 13 on Feb. 8, 1934. The first work was done at the “Y” junction of 13 and 6, east of the Wabash depot. The route of No. 6 was to be changed from the “Y” to the top of Harris hill, eliminating the bad curves. The first work on 13, south, was to be building of the Honey Creek Bridge. Haase & Schmidt construction company used crushed stone for surface and crushed their own stone, on some spot south of town. There were several good rock ledges available. Contractors moved in with their equipment by Feb. 15 and started work. The contractor for Route K, a farm-to-market road from Highway 6 to Gilman City, would be there the next week to start work on that road. During March, work went forward on both ends of No. 13. They started pouring concrete on the Honey Creek Bridge, and the dirt work was started at the DaviessCaldwell County line. By May, the state stood ready to bring condemnation proceedings to obtain the last pieces of right-of-way needed for Highway No. 13 between Bethany and the Daviess County line near Coffey. Route K begins on Highway 6 about four miles east of Gallatin and runs north to Gilman City. No. 13, going north from Gallatin, leaves Highway No. 6 at a point about 500 feet east of Wabash Crossing, going through a cut near the Redmond Smith home, and giving a direct, bee-line route to Jameson. Highway No. 6 was also worked on east of Gallatin. The winding road up Harris hill just east of Wabash Crossing was straightened and cut down, allowing more “driving sight” for motorists to see an approaching car at a greater distance. As it was, one had to drive blindly up or down hill because of the numerous curves. By July, with the exception of a short detour around the unfinished Honey Creek Bridge south of Gallatin, the new Highway No. 13 was open to Hamilton, graveled and ready for traffic. This was a great improvement over the old dirt road which averaged one curve to about every half-mile. The new road lay almost in a straight line from Gallatin south to Hamilton, with the curves long, sweeping, and well banked.

From Gallatin north the road was not so nearly finished. There was still a big detour around the Redmond Smith hill where the great amount of rock made it difficult for the contractors to get through. Another problem was the long haul that had to be made with the rock when it was taken from the hill. Highway 13 was complete by August. The new highway, south, was graveled and ready for the heaviest traffic the year around. When the contracts were let for the roads, the money was not available to afford graveling both north and south of Gallatin on Highway 13. North 13 was complete except for the graveling. At about the same time Highway 13 was completed, another road was finished in the county, the farm-to-market road SK. That road left Highway 6 east of Gallatin near the Muddy Creek Bridge, going north 6.9 miles. SK was only a graded road, ungraveled, but a great improvement over the other roads a driver had to take to go north from No. 6. The cost for the two roads was $154,000, divided as follows: No. 13, $132,000, and SK, $22,000. Most of that money was spent on labor, and the labor used mostly involved Daviess County men.

tual four-footed variety of horse-power. There were cows, sheep and hogs on the premium list and the program included a men’s riding contest and a ladies-only five-gaited horse contest. There was a doll show, a dog show, a pony potato race, and a concert featuring Hamilton’s 56-piece band. In the Ladies’ Hall (under the direction of Mrs. L.R. Doolin) you could find bread, flowers, quilts, rugs, aprons, and pillows. Prizes were given for the best displays of hand work.

●Harry Truman loses in Daviess

Missouri’s beloved Harry Truman (33rd President 1945-1953) ran for the United State Senate in 1934. Harry waged a statewide campaign and eventually won the Democratic primary by a significant margin. But Truman lost the election in Daviess County to J.L. “Tuck” Milligan of Richmond by 790 votes. Then Truman faced incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Roscoe Patterson, first elected in 1928. Harry won the race by a landslide of about 20% of the vote across the state….but he lost in Daviess County again. This time he lost by 353 votes. The official ballot for the General Election on Nov. 6, 1934, included the Democratic Party; Republican Party; Socialist Party; Socialist-Labor Party; and the Communist Party. There were a total of 17 Socialist votes cast in the county.

●Gallatin’s fall festival then and now

In 1934 Gallatin’s Annual Fall Festival was held Oct. 4, 5 and 6. The 2018 Chautauqua features car shows and touch-a-truck, with all kinds of emergency equipment to view. In 1934, the program leaned to the ac-

Merchants listed as sponsors of the festival were: C.L. Shelton Mercantile; Gallatin Motor; C.K. Connell Hardware; Davis Drug; Jones Barber; Downing’s Grocery; M.E. Fitterer’s & Sons; Mundell Electric; Young Lumber; Tolbert Oil; Farmers Mercantile; Gann’s Bargain Store; InterCounty Telephone; Bank of Gallatin; Model Tailors; City Market; Andrews Produce; First National Bank; Haynes Shoe Shop; and Place Bros. Grocery.

●Drought ...same then as now

Farmers in 2018 have much in common with the farmers of 84 years ago. This year’s farmers are cutting corn for silage, feeding hay through the summer months, and watching their ponds go dry. How did the town folk get by without air conditioning? “The Dry Weather Continues Here” was the headline for a front page story in the Aug. 9, 1934, edition of the North Missourian: The intense heat and the dry weather continue here with alarming results — crops are gone. The corn along the river

bottom has been lost, both the corn planted early, and the late corn. It has fired both at the top and bottom. Grand River, although still flowing at the rate of almost 3,000,000 gallons per day, is very low. The temperature reaches above 100 degrees every day, just as regularly as the sun rises, and it continues to stay in the 80s and 90s until late at night. One night recently it was 94 degrees at 10:15. Doctors report that the ratio of illness is higher this summer than it has been for many years — the intense heat tearing down whatever resistance one may have. The doctors also have warned the people here of over-exertion and working in the sun. Riding through the streets of the residential section of the town at night will reveal the fact that very little indoor sleeping is being done — the yards are the bedrooms here now, and one doesn’t even need the heaves for a blanket. Any suggestion of a bed cover meets with disfavor. The city council at Cameron has issued a proclamation that no burning of trash or rubbish will be permitted because of the danger of grass and subsequent fires. Everything is so dry a fire could easily gain headway that would be difficult to overcome. That ruling, it is thought, is because of Cameron’s inadequate water supply. Gallatin’s water supply is still plentiful, but the citizens have shown wonderful cooperation in conserving the water here in case the shortage would become acute. Gallatin now has a theme song — “There’ll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight,” and it is very, very appropriate.” Also on the front page of the same issue (Aug. 9, 1934) was this story: “Help Given Drought Stricken Cattlemen” The government Drought Cattle Program was thrown into high gear in Daviess County last week with the purchase and shipment of 251 head of drought stricken cattle from 21 farms located near Gallatin, Altamont and Winston, according to reports from the office of J.C. Weidler, Emergency County Extension Agent, who is serving as County Drought Relief Director. The appraisal and shipment of cattle from farms where the water supply has been exhausted, and where feed is scarce or out, will proceed with the greatest possible speed, according to reports from the county agent’s office. There are already in his office applications for cattle appraisals from 274 different farms covering approximately 1700 head of cattle.

Contrast these election returns to today. This chart shows a total of 7,101 votes cast in the race between Democrat Harry S. Truman and R epublican R oscoe P atterson for U .S. Senate. That total of votes cast exce eds today’s total of eligible voters in Daviess County. I n the A ugust primary just concluded, only 1,749 votes were cast from the 5 ,348 eligible to vote.
