High speed internet access in future for 255 unserved Daviess County homes? Some 255 homes and businesses in Daviess County that are currently unserved by highspeed internet service could get connectivity in the near future. These homes and businesses are among 105,500 unserved rural areas across Missouri eligible for financial support from the next phase of FCC’s Connect America Fund (CAF), which helps offset the high cost of extending broadband service into rural areas. The FCC will be distributing these funds through an innovative “reverse auction,” which is scheduled to launch on July 24. “Connecting the unconnected in rural America is my top priority,” said FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. “I’m excited that our CAF auction will provide opportunities for innovative companies and cooperatives to bridge the digital divide for the Missouri consumers and small businesses that lack high-speed access today.” Nationwide, providers will compete for up to $2 billion in
support to expand access to broadband to nearly one million homes and locations in unserved rural areas over the next decade. The auction will provide opportunities for new entrants to the marketplace, regardless of technology, including phone companies, fixed wireless service providers, satellite providers, cable companies and electric utility broadband providers. By harnessing market forces, the auction is designed to provide consumers with highquality, broadband service in an efficient, cost-effective way. The application period for providers seeking to participate in the auction runs from March 19-30. Broadband access is essential in the 21st Century for jobs, education, information and economic development. Since 2011, the FCC has targeted more than $9 billion in support for rural broadband expansion to over 4 million homes and small businesses through its Connect America Fund.

GTL cooks up laughs in the church basement kitchen
The Gallatin Theater League cordially invites you to meet the Church Basement Ladies of the East Cornucopia Lutheran Church of the Prairie in Minnesota. You will immediately identify with the widow, Mrs. Lars (Vivian) Snustad, who is the matriarch of the church kitchen; Mrs. Gilmer (Mavis) Gilmerson, the farmer’s wife who knows the genealogy of everyone in town; and the warm and charming Mrs. Elroy (Karin) Engleson, the best cook in the kitchen. As they work their magic in the church basement kitchen, providing food for the congregation’s many activities, and dealing with the church’s cantankerous freezer and furnace, they are joined by Pastor E.L. Gunderson, who recently married a
new young wife, and Karin’s daughter Singe who is going to school at the “U” and brings home some big new ideas for the church kitchen. Directed by Jan Stout, who gave us the hilarious Drowsy Chaperone, Church Basement Ladies is a delightful, family-friendly comedy full of music, laughter and gentle humor, provided by characters we have all worked with in our own church kitchens! Please support local live theater and join us for an evening of music and laughter with Church Basement Ladies at the Courter Theater. Show time is at 7 p.m. on March 15, 16, and 17. Tickets are available at Eileine’s Beauty Shop in Gallatin and at the theater the night of performance.

Sweet silliness by Freida Marie Crump
Entering the great gun debate Perhaps nothing divides rural apart from urban more than the ongoing debate over guns. People who respect and accept the responsibilities when using guns aren’t afraid of guns. Guns are a familiar and accepted part of rural life. You can see restraint (common sense) involving guns here (i.e. empty gun racks in pickups parked in school parking lots or school policies prohibiting the visibility of vehicle gun racks at all). Obviously, criminal violence using guns can happen anywhere. But that’s the way we talk about it here ...criminal violence. There’s no debate among our circles of families and friends. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is as strongly held today as it was when adopted in 1791 as part of the first 10 amendments contained in the Bill of Rights. For good reason. But, that said (and so much more that could be added), we all should be listening. Everyone has a stake in this debate regardless of whether or not you actually own a gun. Some say, in fact, that the most impassioned advocates for gun rights sometimes do not personally own guns. Rather, they defiantly hold a sentimental or even patriotic fervor because of the memories of a father or grandfather who did. Of course, society’s appetite for more and more guns is not just nostalgia. Video games feed the growth of criminal violence by desensitizing our youth. Yet, we stubbornly ignore or disbelieve that the entertainment we feed into our children carries any serious consequence. Consider this. Researchers during World War II discovered (based on a large number of interviews with combat soldiers) that no more than 15 to 20% would actually point their guns at the enemy and fire. This led to changes in the training process, such as replacing bull’s-eye targets with human figures during marksmanship training. By the Vietnam War, a soldier’s willingness to fire at the enemy soared to over 90% (source: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, by David Grossman).
America has a firearms culture in need of adjustment. The momentum for change always burns immediately after tragedy, too often mass shootings. But if change comes, how? According to an MPA release last Friday, Missouri legislators are taking opposing stances on
preventing future mass shootings. A Republican lawmaker has proposed a bill that would eliminate gun-free zones, which include college campuses. A Democrat proposed legislation that would eliminate permitless concealed carry. In a packed hearing, the General Laws Committee recently heard eight different bills that addressed firearms, almost two weeks after a fatal school shooting in Florida.
O the E itor s S ike
by Darryl Wilkinson
This topic is complex. We need to be listening and, more importantly, discerning. Imposing a ban on assault weapons, as some suggest, is a “quick fix” that won’t work. No one knows for sure how many assault weapons there are in the U.S. today but estimates number in the millions — and all agree that the sale of modern sporting rifles (a euphemism for autoloading, assault-style rifles) is the fastest growing segment of the domestic long gun industry. So, even if the ban were put into place, what about all these existing weapons? Another “knee jerk” to recent mass shootings is changing age eligibilities on firearm purchasing. No doubt there is a relevant coming of age factor and logic in the suggestion to raise the minimum age requirement for gun purchases. But, really, when does responsible judgment arrive? Who decides common sense? Conservatives and gun organizations like the National Rifle Association (NRA) have held the advantage in the gun debate for decades. But it seems that today’s NRA leadership has no tolerance for even listening — even when our society (and things impacting our society like mass shootings) has changed. Is this common sense? Some things need to change. Most agree that the mentally unhealthy should not be allowed to pose a threat to the rest of us by use of guns. It seems logical, then, for authorities to have more leeway (not less) to remove or even disqualify the mentally ill to possess guns — provided that
procedures are established and followed to assure any individual’s rights. But defining the mentally ill is not simple. It is naive to suggest schools should administer appropriate and periodic mental health exams, like requiring physical exams when students elect to play sports or requiring academic exams when advancing grade levels. It’s not that simple. The science in treating mental illness lags behind our complete understanding of what it is — much more so when considering the duplicity of those in treatment. It also is naive to think arming teachers will prevent mass shootings in our schools. What happens when a police officer enters a school during a shooting and encounters an unidentified teacher with a gun? There is no simple solution, and it seems every measure summons unwanted consequences. And yet, the gun debate is something we must confront. Perhaps we should first resolve to improve the way we communicate. This requires more effort in thought and depth than what can be suggested here. But, maybe here’s a start. Larry Swickard is a retired police officer and teacher who serves on the board of directors for the Western Missouri Shooters Alliance. His thoughts were published as a guest commentary in the Kansas City Star on March 1. Perhaps you should consider what he pens as you prepare to enter the great gun debate: ● There is no class of firearms called “assault weapons.” It is wrong to lump AR-15s with M16s. To many gun owners, the term “assault weapons” merely signals a verbal assault from somebody about to blindly advocate for gun control ... probably from ignorance. Assault rifles are shot from the shoulder and are capable of full-automatic fire. Some possess mechanisms allowing their operators to switch to and from full and semi-automatic modes. Machine guns are typically heavy, tripodmounted, fully-automatic rifles. Handheld versions are called submachine guns. AR-15s are semi-automatic, only requiring a pull of the trigger for each round fired. ● It is not precise to say “gun violence;” it is more correct to say “criminal violence.” (continued on page 3)
Greetings from the Poosey. The object is to hit the bull’s-eye with your ax. It started in Canada when a couple of taverns provided the axes, targets, and a few drinks. The trend caught on and now it’s spread to the US of A with hundreds of bars located in most major cities now offering ax lanes, much like bowling lanes where a customer can walk up, choose his ax, get instruction from a local expert and toss away. A full service bar and restaurant in Detroit offers 12 lanes. In the course of the sport’s nine-year history only six minor injuries have been reported, most by picking up the wrong end of the ax. A little silly? Maybe even bordering on the ridiculous? You betcha, and it’s just what we need right now. When every click of the news dial brings another round of tragedy, slander, outrage or catastrophe it’s refreshing to run into a sweet batch of silliness. Like... Strange clubs and organizations to take our mind off CNN, Fox and MSNBC: The Association for Gravestone Studies helps to foster a deeper appreciation of grave markers. There’s an association based out of North Carolina called The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, for fat cats I guess. And to top things off there’s an Association for Dressings and Sauces. I love it. Tired of the same old Olympics and Super Bowls? In Finland they cheer for competitors in Wife Carrying whereby a man totes his wife through an obstacle course. I thought it was the other way around and they call it “marriage.” There’s a little known sport called Chess Boxing where the fighters go 11 rounds alternately playing chess and then hitting each other. And there’s a sport that’s been around since the 17th Century: Shin-Kicking. Two contestants kick each other’s shin until one of them falls down. They’re all a bit silly and they all beat the heck out watching a night of verbal shinkicking which just isn’t as much fun. If you’re tired of reading news counting down the days until the world blows up, consider a Texas chicken named Big Mama who rated her own obituary in the Bryan, TX, newspaper. Big Mama’s human family said, “Not many chickens deserve an obituary but she does.” Saved from euthanization by the family when Big Mama was young, she had become beloved by all who knew her. And the end of the obituary, I kid you not, listed her survivors as her flock of Bubbles, Runt, Ms.S, Funky, Lucky and Blondie. I’d take that over another story about North Korea any day. If you’re tired of your relatives arguing over gun control consider the case of Robert Meilhammer of Maryland who was hunting geese near Miles River when one of his friends shot a bird which then fell out of the sky, hit poor Robert on the head and knocked him unconscious. He also lost two teeth. And this wildlife report can only be topped by a 2016 incident when a hunter killed a bull elk in Oregon’s Maury Mountains. The poor guy used his four-wheeler to drag the elk’s body up a hill, the vehicle flipped over, and the hapless hunter rolled backwards and impaled himself on the elk’s antlers. Talk about a rough day. Perhaps you’ve grown weary in listening to the debates regarding the legalization of marijuana. If so, then take a deep breath and inhale the news report from York County, Nebraska, where an elderly couple was pulled over for erratic driving. While the police had them stopped the cop dog went a little crazy so the officers looked and found 60 pounds of pot in the vehicle. The aging couple claimed that they were going to give out the weed as Christmas presents. The drug crisis is real and there’s no joking about such a terrible plague, but if you want a short break in the terrifying statistics you might consider the problems of Al-Rumahiya, Saudi Arabia. The folks of this town have a camel beauty contest where the dromedaries are paraded down the main drag and the judges choose those with the best lips, cheeks, heads and knees. This year a dozen of the beasts were disqualified when it was discovered the owners had injected their camels Botox to make them more attractive. A book came out last week laying out a great deal of research on world happiness. Among its findings was the fact that you are 97% less likely to be killed by a bolt of lightening than your ancestors. There’s good news out there. You’ve just got to look a bit harder. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Missour tax reform by S t at e R ep. J . E g g l es t o n
At the end of 2017, the federal government passed some comprehensive tax reform that made America more attractive for businesses, helped create more and better paying jobs, and let Americans keep more of their hard-earned money in their paychecks. These reforms have so far been a boost to our national economy. But they also required states to re-examine their own tax codes and adjust accordingly. Earlier in session, the Senate Ways & Means Committee debated a couple of comprehensive tax proposals for our state. The final product of those debates should be coming out of the Senate in a week or two. Meanwhile, the House has now filed a tax reform bill as well, and debate on it will begin in the House Ways & Means Committee on March 5. The bill, HB2540, is 429 pages long. As you might imagine, it does not read as smoothly as a Mark Twain novel. As the vice-chairman for Ways & Means, I spent my weekend poring over the bill in preparation for committee discussion. Elements of the tax reform bills include adjustments to the personal income tax, corporate income tax, car licensing fees, fuel taxes, internet sales tax, and ending certain personal ex-
emptions and corporate discount loopholes. The goal is to piggyback on the federal tax reform, producing smart tax policy changes that provide our citizens and businesses with tax relief in a nearly revenue neutral way that does not stress the state budget, and ultimately leaves more money in the pockets of our citizens. The tax changes enacted a few years ago in Kansas have become the example of how NOT to do tax reform. We are hoping our Missouri improvements become the example of how states should enact tax reform. And now, if you will excuse me, I have more reading to do. If you want to read along, the bill is at house.mo.gov/billtracking/ bills181/hlrbillspdf/6148H.01I.pdf

Woman hurt in Hwy. 36 accident
Jail updates radios; new vans arriving The Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Board decided to update the institutional radios, changing the frequency from UHF to VHF to allow communication with law enforcement agencies and transport vehicles. The board meeting was held Feb. 27. In other board business, it was noted that the first van purchased from North Carolina is scheduled to arrive the first week of March. The other three vans will follow, arriving about one every week. Around 137 inmates were being held at the jail. The security cameras are now fully operational. Ballistic vests for transport officers have been ordered through Safariland with an estimated delivery of 12 weeks. The recent auction of vehicles and miscellaneous items grossed $4,125. The jail has not received a final total after expenses. Deputy Director Tim Carder is still looking for locks for the exterior doors. Basic training for the recent new hires is nearly complete. The jail has had participation by other agencies in the training. The Missouri Sheriffs’ Association will be hosting training at the jail facility in the near future. In April the jail will begin recertification of staff, and by the end of the year, all staff will have approximately 20 hours of training completed. Director Ed Howard requested that both he and Deputy Director Carder attend the annual Jail Administrator Conference on May 14, 2018. The board carried a motion to allow Mr. Howard and Mr. Carder to attend. Mr. Carder gave the financial report, which was accepted by the board: Sales tax revenue for January 2018, $88,641.82; Commissary grossed $8,275.58 in February 2018; CD Account 247 balance $241,719.18; Accrued interest in CD 977 $859.08 and CD
account 977 balance $101,697.13; Sales Tax Account balance is $461,079.85; Operating Account balance is $1,059.44; A/R $275,658.68; A/P $30,604.22; Payroll Account balance is $1,734.25. The board entered into closed session to consider legal actions, causes of action or litigation involving a public governmental body and any confidential or privileged communications between a public governmental body or its representatives and its attorneys. The next board meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, March 30, 2018. The above are unapproved minutes of the meeting held Feb. 27.

Pattonsburg woman receives 7 misdemeanors
of the year, I start having hopeful anticipation of the nice, warm, sunny spring days ahead. And for many of us, that means gardening activities are already on our horizons. It also means, for those of us in Extension, that it is time, once again, for our annual Master Gardener classes. I receive inquiries throughout the year about Master Gardener classes. There seems to be a lot of interest in the program. To become a Master Gardener, you don’t have to be an expert. All that is required is an interest in gardening, and a desire to serve your community using your gardening skills. Before someone is certified as a Master Gardener, they must undergo extensive training in 11 classes. Master Gardeners are taught about all aspects of gardening. Topics include plant

Cathy Hartman, 45, Pattonsburg, was arrested on March 3 following a traffic stop by the Highway Patrol for failing to use a turn signal twice on Central Avenue in Pattonsburg. According to the probable cause report, Trooper J. Cross observed an open beer bottle on the center console when he pulled Hartman over at 1:27 a.m. She did not have her identification in her possession and refused to comply with multiple requests to step back to Trooper Cross’s patrol car. Hartman became argumentative and told the trooper that she was at her house and would not comply with his requests. When the trooper advised she was under arrest, Hartman began to actively resist. The trooper applied a neck restraint and was able to take her to the ground to secure the handcuffs.in Hartman refused to submit toSana chemical breath test. It was later discovered that her two children, ages 8 and 10, were sleeping at her home, unattended. Hartman said that she had been called away from her residence for approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours. The children were released to a relative. Hartman was transported to the regional jail on a 12-hour hold for driving while intoxicated. She has been charged with seven misdemeanors — DWI, failure to signal, resisting arrest, failure to maintain financial responsibility, failure to register motor vehicle, and two counts of child endangerment. Bond of $2,000 has been posted.

growth, soils, diseases, insects, fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, and many others. After they graduate, Master Gardeners are required to fulfill 30 hours of service to the community. That’s really not too difficult. Every month, Master Gardeners meet as a group at several locations, and come up with volunteer projects to work on. Master Gardeners include adults of all ages and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some have extensive knowledge, and others come ready to learn. But they all have two traits in common: a love of gardening and a desire to help others. And Master Gardening is a lot of fun as well. Our monthly meetings are an enjoyable time to get together with fellow gardeners, and learn from each other.

Bonnie Kimberling of Jamesport has been selected to sing in the State FHA chorus which sings in Jefferson City March 9. The chorus is composed of 190 girls who will be dressed in white. The Fred Dustman family of Jameson has been named to receive the Balanced Farming Management Award given by the University of Missouri Extension Division. The Dustmans own 779 acres in Daviess County. Major enterprises are corn, soybeans, hogs and cattle. M ar c h 6 , 1 9 5 8 Bert Barnett, a resident of Cox Rest Home and formerly of Jameson, is the only living person to show championship mules in the World Fair of 1904. His coveted possessions include over 180 ribbons received during his long and active career as a mule breeder, trainer and showman. Gene Schweizer, Gallatin R-5; Janis DeWitt, Coffey R-1; and Barry Findley, Pattonsburg R-2, are the sophomore students selected to take the pilgrimage this year to Jefferson City. Daviess County motorists would be insulted if they were accused of encouraging car thefts that have been plaguing Sheriff Leland Houghton and other officers in the area. Actually, many drivers are making it easy for prospective thieves by leaving their car keys in the ignition. Of 340 cars parked around or near the square on Saturday, 84 had the keys in them, an open invitation to theft. M ar c h 4 , 1 9 4 8 A faulty boxcar truck was believed to have caused the derailment of 11 refrigerator cars of Eastbound Rock Island No. 302, popularly known as the “doodlebug.” Wrecking crews worked in the rain last Friday to right the cars which left the rails Thursday night and piled up along the right of way. The Gallatin High School Bulldogs pulled their giant-killing act again last night at Maryville by eliminating Christian Brothers High of St. Joseph, 31-25, in the first round of the regional basketball tournament. Big Johnny Brown paced the victory with 12 points. The county’s new public library moved into full operation Tuesday with the delivery of first book quotas to six more drop stations.

The team earned one-third of the total first place scores from the entire competition and tied in the first place medals count. The 10-member team accomplished this feat while facing full teams of 15. The students earned a first or second place spot in half of the events entered. Next month,
students will head to Westminster College in Fulton for state competition on April 7, 2018. “These kids have worked very hard to get here and we are extremely pleased by their performance,” commented the coach, Mrs. Tuanette Hulet. These are the placements earned by the students: First Ecology, Ryelin Hulet & Kason Butler; 1st Fast Facts, Sofia Nunn & Quincy Crone; 1st Mystery Architecture, Cooper Teel & Sam Coin; 1st Optics, Cooper Teel & Kason Butler; 1st Road Scholar, Connor McCartney & Cooper Teel; 1st Rocks and Minerals, Ryelin Hulet & Jillian
Tigers head into SEC tourney with Senior Night win b y B enj ami n H er r o l d Missouri capped its regular season with a 77-67 home win over Arkansas on Saturday, lifting the Tigers to their 20th win and likely securing a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Coupled with a win at Vanderbilt, the week helped Missouri (20-11, 10-8 in SEC play) reverse the negative momentum of a three-game losing streak. The Tigers solidified their postseason status and gave fans a little reason to hope heading into the sport’s month of destiny, March. Arkansas (21-10, 10-8 in SEC) is a good team that entered the game having won six of its last seven games. The Razorbacks took an early lead, but Missouri surged ahead in the latter part of the first half before a frenzied Mizzou Arena crowd on Senior Night. Senior Jordan Barnett had a torrid shooting night, making 5 of 7 three-pointers while scoring 19 points. Another senior, Kassius Robertson, added 14 points. Barnett played 40 minutes and Robertson played 38. Missouri’s freshmen also contributed in a big way. Jeremiah Tilmon had one of his best games as a Tiger, going against Arkansas’ super freshman Daniel Gafford and scoring 17 while playing some good defense. The only Porter Tiger fans needed to worry about last week was Jontay Porter, who built off his spectacular game at Vanderbilt with 19 points and 8 rebounds against Arkansas. His much-hyped brother, Michael Porter Jr., remained unavailable and on the bench but not in uniform, his status a daily mystery after back surgery last fall.
But the players that were on the court gave plenty of reasons to get excited about Missouri. And the Tigers have a great opportunity, with the Southeastern Conference basketball tournament coming to St. Louis for the first time. The tournament is most commonly held in Nashville, so this is a fairly rare opportunity to play it on Missouri soil. Missouri earned the 5 seed in the 14-team tournament. The Tigers play the winner of Georgia and Vanderbilt on Thursday afternoon (2:30 p.m. on SEC Network). If Missouri wins that, buckle in for another game with Kentucky on Friday (2:30 p.m. on ESPN). The semifinals and final are at noon on Saturday and Sunday, both on ESPN. Conference tournaments can be fun and festive, and that might especially be the case here. Missouri should have a sizable contingent of fans. Plus conference tournaments are a great mix of fans from all over the conference, including a heavy dose of Kentucky fans. That potential Friday quarterfinal game could be a scintillating scene. Also, the SEC seems pretty wide open this season, with a lot of teams capable of beating each other and making a run. I expect a lot of close games in St. Louis this week. Can Missouri go on a run? It’s certainly possible. By seed, they really should win the Thursday game.

Case over stalled transmission line advances to Missouri Supreme Court E d i t o r ’ s N o t e: T he following , written by Bryc e Gray of the S t. Louis Post ispatch, was first published F eb. 27, 2018 . Gray is that newspaper’ s reporter c overing energ y and the environment. T he proposed energ y transmission lines would bisec t southern Caldwell County while c rossing N orth Missouri.
T here is opposition to the Grain Belt E x press proj ec t. O pponents say the proj ec t would c onstitute one of the larg est c ondemnations of private land in Missouri history. A c c ording to information posted on www.A g ainstGBE Mo.c om more than 6 00 landowners in its 220-mile path along Missouri alone would be impac ted. T his would involve approx imately 5 ,000 ac res for easements. T he Missouri P ublic S ervic e Commission, whic h reg ulates utilities and transmission line operators, denied applic ation for the Grain Belt E x press in J uly, 2015 . T he c ommission stated that the c ompany did not demonstrate that the line would improve the grid, would not benefit ratepayers and, therefore, does not j ustify the burden plac ed on the landowners.
A l t amo nt U ni t ed M et h o d i st The adult Sunday School lesson was from Genesis 22:1-14 about God telling Abraham that he would establish a covenant with his son Isaac and with his seed after him.

With the proposed multi-state wind energy transmission line, Grain Belt Express, held up over controversial interpretations of Missouri law, prospective developers of the project have pushed for the case to go before the Supreme Court. That wish has now been granted after an opinion filed Feb. 27 in the Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals ordered that the matter be transferred to the Missouri Supreme Court. Judge Lisa Page concluded that the Public Service Commission “erred” in its finding that it could not lawfully authorize the project. Citing a controversial court ruling, the PSC ruled last year that assent from individual counties along the line’s path were required before state approval — a condition that commissioners, themselves, said would have dire consequences for the development of future infrastructure in Missouri. The 780-mile transmission line would enable the distribution of wind energy from Kansas to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, before feeding into the grid at large.
10:17-22. For special music Tristan Seignette played his accordion. The Lake Viking Church Youth Group will be going to St. Joseph on March 9 to attend a Midland Ministries (MPI) event.

The announcements were given. Remember, daylight savings time begins March 11; set your clocks forward. Bible study for children and adults is at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. The offertory prayer was “Amazing Grace.” Bro. Tim’s message was from Romans 12: 1-7. Our closing hymn was “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.” We were dismissed with prayer. Gal l at i n U ni t ed M et h o d i st Jan Johnson, organist, played the prelude as Eli Lawinger lit the altar candles and Pastor Mike Tipton led the call to worship. Melanie’s children’s message was “Be United.” Pastor Mike’s sermon, “Journey to the Cross, God’s Wisdom is greater that Worldly Wisdom,” was based on I Corinthinans 1:18-25. Pastor Mike served communion to the congregation. March 7 is Kids Quest from 3-5. March 8 at 6:30 is Lenton Bible Study. March 11 is board meeting following worship service. March
Though they did not grant approval to the project, members of the Missouri PSC acknowledged that the project was firmly in the public interest and would save millions of dollars for its electric customers in the state. “Today’s ruling is a significant victory for the Missouri economy and for dozens of Missouri cities that could save more than $10 million annually from the delivery of low-cost clean energy
by the Grain Belt Express Clean Line,” said Michael Skelly, president of Clean Line Energy, the company behind the project, in a statement. “Every day that these benefits are delayed sets Missouri back as it strives to compete in this global economy. It is our hope that the Missouri Supreme Court will hear this critical case in an expedited manner.”

The monthly business meeting was held after morning worship. Sunday afternoon service is at 3 p.m. Wednesday evening service
is postponed until spring. Easter service will be April 1 starting with sunrise service at 7:30 a.m., followed by breakfast at 7:45, Sunday School at 8:30, and morning worship at 9:30. F r i end s i n C h r i st Kim Brammer led the announcements, and Peggy Earnst delivered the opening prayer. Praise songs were “He Leadeth Me” and “Shout to the Lord.” We were in week eight of the sermon series “90 Days: A Journey Through the Life of Christ.” The message by Andy Stanley of North Point Church in Atlanta, Ga., was “Nic at Night” and was based on John 3:1-18. Small group time followed the message.

Daviess, Caldwell spotlight shines on Century Farms The University of Missouri Extension Councils for Daviess and Caldwell Counties held their annual dinner Feb. 26 at the United Methodist Church, Hamilton. Recipients for inclusion in the University of Missouri Extension Leaders Honor Roll were Wayne Uthe, Daviess County Commissioner and active member of the Daviess County Extension Council, and Wayne Minnick, long time supporter of 4-H and FFA youth of Daviess County. Members of the honor roll are recognized for going above and beyond expectations, while generously giving of their time and energy to extension programs. Joe Lear, Northwest Regional Director presented information on Extension programming. The Missouri Century Farm Families of Joe and Charlene Caraway; Gayle Creighton; Warren R. Hemry and Don A. Hemry; Warren R. Hemry; Donna L. Hibbs; Chris and Deanna Nelson; and Luetta Vogel were presented with signs for their farms. The Caraways’ 117-acre farm has been in the family since 1902, originally owned by Gustavus A. Lynn Sr., the great-grandfather of Charlene Caraway. The Creighton 61-acre farm has been in the family since 1858, originally owned by James Henry Tunnel, great-grandfather of Gayle M. Creighton. The Warren R. Hemry and Don A. Hemry farm has been in the family since 1882, with original ownership by Thomas Hemry, great-grandfather of Warren R. Hemry and Don A. Hemry. The Warren R. Hemry farm has been in the family since 1895, with original ownership by Martin Hemry, grandfather of Warren R. Hemry. The Donna L. Hibbs farm has been in the family since 1915, with original ownership by Ed-
gar B. Hibbs. The Chris and Deanna Nelson farm has been in the family since 1915, with original ownership by Lena Ferguson, grandmother of Deanna Nelson. The Luetta Vogel farm has been in the family since 1870, with original ownership by Joseph Vogel, grandfather of Luetta Vogel. The Missouri Century Farm program’s history dates back to 1976. The purpose was to organize the American Revolution Bicentennial celebration in Missouri. One activity that was initiated by the committee was the “Centennial Farm” project, which awarded certificates to persons owning farms that had been in the same family for 100 years or more. Interest in the program continued after 1976. The College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources and University of Missouri Extension planned a 10-year update in 1986 called the “Century Farm” program. This program has been sustained as a yearly event with over 100 farms recognized each year. In 2008, the Missouri Farm Bureau became a program co-sponsor. The Joe and Charlene Caraway photo was provided in part by The JPEG Studio; Alicia Endicott was the photographer for the evening. Following the dinner, the newly formed council held the election of 2018 officers. Jayla Smith will serve as the council chair, Raymond Hildebrand will serve as vice chair, Marcia Bird will serve as secretary, and Alicia Chrisman will serve as treasurer. Tim Baker is the Horticulture Specialist for Daviess County. Becky Simpson is the 4-H Youth Development Specialist and County Program Director for Daviess County.
