Valor Award to Trooper Neely for local incident Trooper Matthew W. Neely, Troop H, was among 31 Highway Patrol employees who were recognized at an annual awards ceremony on April 13. The banquet was held at the Drury Plaza Hotel Cape Girardeau Conference Center, Cape Girardeau. The awards were presented by Colonel Eric T. Olson, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The Honorable Michael L. Parson, 57th governor of Missouri, provided the keynote address. The Valor Award was presented to Trooper Neely for an incident which occurred in Daviess County. Trooper Neely of Cameron was a member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s 102nd Recruit Class and began his duties with Zone 10, which serves the citizens of DeKalb and Daviess counties, in July 2016. On March 19, 2018, the Harrison County Sheriff ’s Department advised Troop H Headquarters of a theft in progress at a residence in Ridgeway. Trooper Neely observed a vehicle matching the suspect’s vehicle description traveling southbound on Interstate 35 and attempted to overtake

Trooper Matthew W. Neely it. The vehicle exited Interstate 35 and traveled westbound on Missouri Route N in Daviess County, then slid through the intersection of Route N and U.S. Highway 69 and crashed into a utility pole. As Trooper Neely arrived, the male driver and female passenger exited the vehicle. The male driver fled on foot. Trooper Neely advised the passenger she was under arrest and to

stay with the vehicle before beginning a foot pursuit after the driver. As Trooper Neely chased the driver across an open field, the subject turned, raised a Glock handgun, and fired multiple shots at the trooper. Trooper Neely obtained cover behind a field terrace. When the shooting stopped, he notified Troop H of shots fired and advanced on the subject while issuing commands that he drop his weapon. The suspect failed to comply and attempted to re-engage Trooper Neely. Trooper Neely then fired his Patrol issued weapon striking the suspect twice and stopping the threat. He and other officers on scene then provided first aid to the suspect until medical personnel arrived and transported the suspect to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. The suspect, Elmer Martin Sorrell of High Ridge, MO, is currently scheduled for a jury trial in Daviess County on Sept. 12-13, 2019, on charges of assault first degree, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of firearm, stealing firearm, stealing and resisting arrest.

Family History Night at library on April 25 The Daviess County Library in cooperation with the Gallatin Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is introducing a Family History Night at the Daviess County Library, dedicated to assisting community members in Daviess County find their ancestors and to organize and protect their valuable family history. The service begins Thursday, April 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Jan and Curly Johnson Conference Room. There is no charge for consultation with the genealogy specialists and no fee for access to the family search genealogical database. All interested participants must arrive at the library prior to its 6 p.m. close. The doors will not be opened to late arrivals. Library cards are not mandatory for this event; however, all county residents or property owners are welcome to apply for a library card at no cost. The database used is Family Search, one of the world’s largest databases of genealogical information. The data submitted by users includes hundreds of millions of ancestors, including names, family relationships, and dates and places of events. Also included is access to the International Genealogical Index (IGI) that contains data for more than 430 million ancestors ( continued on page 3 )

Wild Time for over 500 during Family Fun Night reading About 63% of the preschool through fourth grade student body (150 students)participated in Family Fun Night at Searcy R-5 Elementary School. “Where the Wild Things Are” was the theme for the event promoting reading skills held April 4. Including students, community members, student volunteers from the middle school and high school, adult volunteers, and the faculty and staff, over 500 people were involved in the evening activities. This number represents the best attendance since the school changed to a PK-4 building. Door prize winners, front from left, are: Braylee Prestwich, Evan Lawinger, Axton Story, Cambree Crose, Rilynn Wood; second row, Liam Heldenbrand, Olivia Gillette, Sophie Hunt, Gracey Rouber, Aginah Jones, Declan Freeman, Lexi Appley; back row, Olivia Schweizer, Damon Wayne, Jax Adkison, Arieonna Rainey, Kendell Jones, Aurora Kamden, Rairdan Clevenger, Daycee Swalley, Tagen Eversole, Brooklyn Middaugh-Curtis, Danika Mowre, Colton Kenyon.

Unusual habeas corpus case to be heard in local court

Antiquated ‘outdoor kitchen’ destroyed by fire

On April 13, at approximately 2:04 p.m., Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to 111 N. Willow Street in Gallatin (Stephanie Dowell residence) for a brush fire that spread to a building. Engine 101 and Brush 104 responded with six

personnel. A high column of black smoke was noticed in the vicinity of the reported address. Upon arrival on scene firefighters found a 14x16 foot brick outbuilding with a wood framed ( continued on page 3 )

Scheduled next week in Daviess County Circuit Court is a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus, a case which originated in Jackson County in 2015. In March 2015, Plaintiff Ricky L. Kidd filed a writ of habeas corpus in Jackson County. A writ of habeas corpus is an extraordinary remedy because it gives a court the power to release a prisoner after the prisoner has been processed through the criminal justice system with all its procedural safeguards and appeals. Kidd is presently serving life without the possibility of parole, and has been struggling to prove his innocence since he first became a suspect in the case 19 years ago. He was convicted in 1997 of two counts of first degree murder in a Kansas City double homicide. Kidd’s petition claims that there is no physical evidence that linked him to the crime, and names three subjects that he claims to be the perpetrators of the crime. The case is drawing attention on a very broad basis. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) out of New York has inquired and is planning to attend the four-day session which will be conducted in Daviess County Circuit Court from April 23-26 with Judge Daren L. Adkins presiding. According to the Midwest Innocence Project website, Kidd has spent the last 20 years fighting to prove his innocence from inside prison walls. The Midwest Innocence Project, along with co-counsel Sean O’Brien and Cindy Dodge, now represent Ricky Kidd in the case which will be heard in Daviess County. ( continued on page 3 )

OPINION

April 17, 2019

A nod to Mr. Churchill About 180 miles southeast of Gallatin, a few miles beyond Jefferson City, is Fulton. It is the county seat of Callaway County where Winston Churchill made his famous “Sinews of Peace” (Iron Curtain) speech at Westminster College in 1946. This speech marks the beginning of the West’s Cold War with the Soviet Union, and still influences global politics today. Too many of us rely on movies to learn about history. Even the good ones like the recent “The Darkest Hour” can’t possibly condense greatness within the scope of one sitting. Some of us may be motivated to expand our reading to know Mr. Churchill a bit better ...until the next blockbuster movie comes along. So, what do you know about Winston Churchill? Some acclaim Churchill as the 20th Century’s greatest leader. We live only a 3-hour drive away from a place where Churchill’s declarations were of international significance. But have you ever visited Fulton with the purpose of focusing on Churchill? Perhaps we should mark our calendars to attend a celebration schedth itor s i uled there on May 3-5. The State of Missouri and a lot of colorful, lively “Churchillians” from across the U.S. and UK will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of America’s National Churchill Museum right here in Missouri at Fulton. b arr l ilkinson The event promises to be interesting. It’s attracting special guests, including family members of Churchill and President Harry Truman, who personally invited Churchill to visit Westminster College in Fulton. There’s a parade, free museum tours all weekend, lectures about the 17th century church of St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury (which was moved here from Central London to become part of the museum), important keynotes and other guest speakers, such as Churchill biographers, family members, artists, and other activities. Sometimes we simply overlook what Missouri has to offer. Consider this. America’s National Churchill Museum is the only Class A museum in North America dedicated to commemorating the life and times of Winston Churchill. It opened in May 1969 to memorialize Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech which he delivered at Fulton 73 years ago. The day the museum opened, the historic Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury was re-hallowed as a place of worship by officials of the Catholic, Anglican, and other faiths. It was built in Central London in 1181, rebuilt in 1672 by Royal Architect Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London, and burned again during the Germans’ bombing of London in late 1940. In the early 1960s, it was carefully disassembled, and reconstructed on the Westminster campus -- based on Wren’s plans -- to memorialize Churchill’s 1946 speech. There’s a bronze statue of Churchill just outside this historic building. If Churchill were alive, no doubt he’d see this museum building as familiar. It once stood about three miles from where he served as British Prime Minister -- twice -- in London. The celebration weekend will include free museum tours at 11 a.m., at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m., at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, and all day Sunday. At 1 p.m. Friday, a special walking tour will be led by author, artist and videographer Steve Stinson, who served as one of the original Museum tour guides. His father, Dave Stinson, also was responsible for organizing the ( continued on page 3 )

Herb says a man’s got to have his garden or he loses touch with what makes him a man.

So, I ask him, “And just who do you se i est av rites think was home weeding, pickime e m in b F ie a a ie C m ing and pickling while George and Tom were off crossing their Delawares and penning their Declarations?” This gives Herb pause enough for him to mutter, “OK.

Prioritizing infrastructure b y S ta te S e n . D a n H e g e m a n

This year, the governor and members of the Missouri General Assembly are taking a hard look at our state’s many infrastructure needs, whether that be broadband infrastructure, water infrastructure or transportation infrastructure. I firmly believe these services are part of the basic function of state government. As your elected representatives, it’s our responsibility to take proper care of these vital resources. One type of infrastructure, broadband internet, is important for keeping our communities connected. In the modern economy, fast internet is also vital for many people’s jobs. This is particularly true of our youngest and oldest workers, who often work from home at least part of the time. This wouldn’t be possible without a reliable internet con-

nection. If we want to grow our communities and attract new businesses, broadband infrastructure is crucial. Proper water management is equally important. That’s true regardless of whether we’re talking about having too much water, as with the recent floods, or having too little water, as with last year’s droughts. Strengthening our water infrastructure can protect our communities from rising river levels and provide relief during a severe dry spell. As chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I am prioritizing infrastructure funding. To make taxpayers’ money go as far as possible, the Committee is continually exploring ways to secure federal matching grants on many of these projects. By creating and maintaining reliable infrastructure of all types, we are making a sound investment in our future.

About license offices, tax penalties b y S ta te R e p . J . E g g le s to n

One legislative proposal of particular local interest is HB 584, which would increase license office fees to help keep struggling license offices open. In my time in the legislature, Bethany lost its license office for several weeks leaving residents of Harrison County no local location to get licenses renewed. Bethany now has a license office again. Maysville and Gallatin have both lost their license offices as well, so now residents

of DeKalb and Daviess Counties must travel to Cameron for their license office business. While I would prefer that license offices be up-funded by some of the existing fees rather than increasing fees, that idea is apparently not constitutional, and so the fee change is the next best idea being discussed in the legislature right now. If implemented, HB 584 might help bring license offices back to towns like Maysville and Gallatin.

The second bill that may interest our area is HB 1094 concerning tax penalties. Every pay period, our employers withhold a certain amount from our paychecks to cover our income taxes and remit that money to the federal and state governments. To know how much to take out, employers use withholding tables provided by the Department of Revenue to calculate the correct amount. Ideally, the amount withheld ( continued on page 1 3 )

Note: The following information submitted from Ms. Caven is from the fact- checking website Snoops. The complete text of the V AWA can be found on their website www.snoops. com.

The Violence Against Women ACT (VAWA), a series of laws affecting multiple areas of the Federal Code, was first signed into law in 1994. The act provided federal funds for services offered to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, created the Office on Violence Against Women within the Justice Department, enhanced the training of law enforcement officers in the area of sexual and domestic violence, and strengthened penalties for certain sexual crimes… VAWA has been reauthorized several times since 1994, often with adjustments or modifications. In December 2018, authorization for the Violence Against Women Act lapsed during negotiations over ending a federal government shutdown… VAWA was briefly reauthorized on a temporary basis as part of a continuing resolution passed on 25 January 2019, but it lapsed once again three weeks later.

roof fully involved with fire. Firemen deployed a 1-¾-inch attack hose line for extinguishment and protection of a house directly south of the outbuilding. The outbuilding was one of the oldest buildings in Gallatin. It had been an outdoor kitchen at one time. The building is owned by Chad Stigers. The contents were completely destroyed. The fire was caused by a small pile of tree limbs left burning and unattended. At approximately 3:02 p.m., while still on scene at the previous fire, Gallatin Fire received another fire call along Hwy. 6, near 25031 Hwy. 6 home address (Mr. K. Pettit). Brush 104 responded and found a small area of brush burning in the ditch. The owner was attempting to put the fire out which had started from a small debris burn.

disassembly of the church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury in London and its relocation and reconstruction on the campus of Westminster College. Everyone loves a parade, and this one gets underway at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. It will include members of the Churchill and Truman families and other VIPs, as well as high school and military bands, historic military and civilian vehicles, and much more. The fun begins at Westminster Ave. and W. 7th Street, winds through city streets, and ends at the museum. A reviewing stand will be across the street from the museum. There also will be a salute to the Eagle Squadrons of WWII and one of their own, Lt. John Lutz, of Fulton. Other free activities include the first public exhibition of Painting as a Pastime: From Winston to the White House, which includes paintings inspired by Churchill from Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and G.W. Bush. It also includes paintings by Churchill, who also was a talented painter. The schedule of events celebrating the national museum is long. While nearly all events are open to the public, some activities will require tickets. For more information, go to www.nationalchurchillmuseum.org

License offices ( continued from page 2 )

throughout the year will equal the amount of income tax you owe, so when you do your taxes you will find you neither owe a big amount nor get a big refund. The amount left to pay in by April 15 should be close to zero. Due to recent changes in the tax code, it appears the withholding tables were inaccurate. Employers may not have been withholding as much as they should. This means that those who are used to getting a refund from over-withholding may owe instead to square up their tax bill. Missourians will not be paying more in taxes – in fact the recent tax changes mean Missourians are keeping more of their hardearned money. But if not enough was remitted by employers, folks may have a tax bill on April 15. HB 1094 addresses this “April surprise” by blocking any late payment penalties on tax debt owed to the state by individual taxpayers through the end of this year. It waives any interest owed on such debt until May 15. For those who might pay penalties before the bill would become law, it would require that those Missourians receive refunds. This will provide some grace to taxpayers and not penalize them for an oversight on DAVIESS the part of theCOUNTY: Department of Revenue, which is the state Assessor equivalent of the IRS.

Free one-day MDC youth camp A free conservation youth camp hosted by the Missouri Department of Conservation will be held for one day on June 28 at Hartell Conservation Area in Clinton County. The camp is for youth ages 11 to 15. Conservation Youth Camp will give youth a supportive learning environment to actively participate in “hands-on” outdoor skills, led by experts in their field. One of the goals of camp is to instill confidence in the participants to explore Missouri’s diverse outdoors on their own. Campers will become Hunter Education Certified and enjoy a fun-filled day of fishing, archery and fire-arm shooting/safety, and canoeing. Applications will be accepted on a first come basis. Application deadline is June 1. For more information, please call the Northwest Regional Office at 816-271-3100.

In my last column, I discussed phenology, the study of the influence of climate on biological events such as animal migrations and flowering in plants. This is especially important for horticulture crops such as apples, where buds that progress too quickly may be lost in spring frosts. One year in southeast Missouri, I noticed that the redbuds were very delayed in blooming, compared to dogwoods. In all my years of watching Missouri springs, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dogwood bloom before a redbud. But it seemed to be happening that year, at least in Kennett where I was living. Going towards Poplar Bluff, things seemed to be normal, with redbuds blooming and dogwoods on the way. Phenology can be surprising, at times. So I decided to conduct a short survey of other MU Extension specialists around the state. Over around West Plains and Thayer, both redbuds and dogwoods were beginning to bloom, both about the same time. The agronomist there had seen this in past years, when we had seen a late, cold spring. Further north, things were closer to normal, with redbuds blooming and dogwoods not as far along. But there was a lot of overlap that year, again probably due to the late, cold spring. Some of the reporters didn’t think the redbuds were faring too well in the Columbia area, others thought they were ok. So what happened in Kennett? After talking to several people, and taking a closer look at the trees, I believe that one of those cold freezes in March must have gotten the blooms. This was somewhat surprising, since redbuds are fairly hardy, and grow much farther north. But as buds progress, they become much more tender. And while they may easily survive a given temperature earlier in the season, if they have passed a certain point in their phenological progression, they’ll get damaged at that same temperature. Apparently that’s what happened to our trees that year. Last time, I mentioned the National Phenology Network on line. If this topic is of interest, you can sign up to contribute your observations. Go to http://www.usanpn.org for more information. By the way, don’t add an “r” to phenology... phrenology is the theory that one’s mental capacities can be predicted by the shape of the skull, a popular theory in the 19th century.

Catch tick, mosquito bites early With warmer weather on the way, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) wants to remind those living in and visiting the state to take precautions against tick and mosquito bites. At least six different types of tick-borne diseases in humans have been reported in Missouri, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, Lyme disease, Heartland virus and Bourbon virus. West Nile virus is the most common virus spread by mosquitoes in the United States. In 2018, 23 cases were reported in Missouri. Many of these illnesses can be effectively treated if they are caught early, however, on occasion they can be deadly. Despite the presence of ticks and mosquitoes, everyone can safely enjoy the outdoors by taking a few safety precautions. DHSS recommends the following precautions to prevent tick and mosquito bites: •Use an insect repellent with DEET, picaridin or IR3535 as the active ingredient. For ticks, look for a product with at least 20 percent concentration of one of these active ingredients. •When possible, wear protective clothing (light colored, long sleeved shirts and pants) when outdoors to keep ticks off skin and make it easier to see ticks that are crawling on clothing. •Avoid areas including brushy areas, tall grasses, wood piles, and leaf litter. When hiking, stay near the center of trails to avoid ticks. •Reduce ticks around your home by keeping lawns mowed short, shrubs and trees

trimmed, and remove leaf litter, wood piles, fallen branches, trash and debris from yards. •Reduce mosquitoes around your home by cleaning out gutters and remove anything in the yard that could hold standing water. •Check for ticks while outdoors and again after returning from the outdoors. If possible you should change clothes and shower soon after spending time outdoors. An attached tick should be removed promptly. The longer it is attached, the greater the risk of infection. To remove ticks: •Using tweezers, grasp tick near its mouth and as close to your skin as possible. •Pull tick firmly, straight out, away from skin. Do not jerk or twist the tick. •Do NOT use alcohol, matches, liquid soap or petroleum jelly to remove a tick. •Wash your hands and the bite site with soap and water after the tick is removed. Apply an antiseptic to the bite site. If bit by a mosquito, wash the site with soap and water. Antiitch cream or an ice pack can alleviate pain or itching. In general, a sudden high fever, severe headache, muscle or joint aches, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea can be signs of these types of diseases. Additionally, a possible sign of tick-borne disease is a pusfilled wound that appears at the site of a tick bite, or a rash that follows a tick bite. You should consult your health care provider if experiencing these symptoms. For more information, contact the Daviess County Health Department at 660-663-2414.

“Mitch is our newest administrator on campus, and I am impressed with his efforts working with faculty, staff, and students,” said Dr. Lenny Klaver, President. ***** A free Easter egg hunt will be held at Wallace State Park near Cameron April 20. The enclosed shelter house will have nature displays and drawings for prizes from 1 to 3 p.m.

Planning to visit bear country?...be aware they’re there An estimated 350 black bears call southern Missouri home, and as the spring season gets underway, these magnificent mammals leave their winter dens in search of food. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is reminding Missourians to be proactive and “Be Bear Aware.” MDC Resource Scientist and Furbearer Biologist Laura Conlee said it is imperative that residents remove bear attractants from their property, such as bird feeders, trash, barbeque grills, pet food, and food waste. “As black bears become active in the spring, they are on a mission to find food,” said Conlee. “Keeping areas free of attractants and letting bears find natural foods is in everyone’s best interest. If you see a bear, let the animal be and enjoy the sighting, but be sure to not offer it any food.” Conlee noted that intentionally feeding bears can be dangerous as it makes the bears comfortable around people. It can also lead bears to cause significant damage to property while searching for a meal. D on’ t f eed the b ears “When bears lose their fear of humans, they could approach people in search of food or may defend the food sources or terri-

tory they associate with people, between two trees. Do not keep which can make them danger- food or toiletries in a tent, and do ous,” Conlee said. “When this not burn or bury garbage or food happens, the bear cannot be re- waste. located and has to be destroyed.

Mustangs look to snap four-game losing skid The Pattonsburg Panthers blew the lid off Tuesday’s game against Tri-County/Gallatin in the seventh inning, scoring 10 runs on their way to a 20-6 win in Jamesport. The Mustangs took a 2-0 lead into the second inning after Ross Critten beat out an infield single and scored on a Brinley Vandiver double down the left field line. Nathan Baker sacrificed Vandiver to third and he scored on a ground out by Gage Wright. The Panthers moved in front, 7-2, in the top of the second. Carter Crone reached base on an error. Dillon Turn singled. Kaden DeJong singled to score Crone. Patrick Cowley followed with a single and two runs scored

on Connor Ireland’s single down the line. Cameron Jones reached on an error and Logan Pankau smashed a home run to deepest center field to bring home three more runs. Tri-County rallied for three runs in the third as Vandiver singled and Baker reached on an error. Both runners scored on Wright’s screaming liner over the left fielder’s head. Wright also scored later in the inning. Jones walked, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch to open Pattonsburg’s half of the fourth inning. Pankau drove him home with a single. A 6-4-3 double play (Wright to Baker to Garrett Skinner) bailed out the Mustangs to end the inning.

Cowley singled and scored on a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning. The Mustangs matched that run when Baker reached on an error and scored on a Panther double play started by DeJong on the mound. Two walks and two hit batters brought home Turner with another PHS run in the sixth. The Mustangs dropped a pair of games on Saturday in the MidBuchanan Tournament, losing to the host Dragons, 12-3, in their opener, and falling to Trenton, 14-6, in the third place game. Morgan McBroom led the Mustangs against the Dragons with a single, double and run batted in. Vandiver singled and scored a run. Wright singled and

stole a base. Tayton Terry also had a single. Critten walked and scored. Colton Rouner scored after being hit by a pitch. Trenton put together a 9-run second inning in the third place contest. JJ Waters led the Mustangs with a pair of hits and a run scored. Critten and Nate Baker each doubled, walked and scored. Harris walked twice, stole a base and scored two runs. Vandiver walked twice and scored a run. Wright, Rouner and Klayton Lynch each hit safely with singles. The Mustangs are back in action today (Wednesday) at home against Maysville in a game moved up from a scheduled April 16 date.

Raineys plead guilty to identity theft, other charges Amanda and Johnny Rainey of Gallatin have each pled guilty to multiple charges in Daviess County Circuit Court. Their cases were heard by Judge Ryan Horsman. The couple was arrested after a search warrant was executed at their Gallatin residence in October. A large amount of mail and personal documents from numerous persons in Daviess County was found, as well as stolen items from at least five Gallatin residences. On April 10, Amanda Rainey, 35, of Gallatin pled guilty in three separate cases, and a sentence assessment report was ordered.

In two cases which had been transferred to Livingston County on a change of venue, she pled guilty to attempted trafficking in stolen identities, amended from B felony to C felony; and to felony stealing and misdemeanors of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, with two charges to be dismissed. She had been scheduled for jury trial in Livingston County this month on these charges. When additional Daviess County charges were filed against her on March 27, Rainey appeared in Livingston County

Circuit Court and filed a waiver of jury trial. In the Daviess County case, Rainey pled guilty to three felony charges, financial exploitation of an elder person, stealing $750 or more, and stealing all other property. Her husband, Johnny Rainey, also pled guilty on April 10 to attempted trafficking of stolen identities, amended from B to a C felony, felony stealing and possession of controlled substance, and to misdemeanor possession of marijuana. A sentence assessment report was ordered.

Everett Rex Vanderslice passed away April 5, 2019, at Columbia Hospital. He was the third son of Everett M. and Ruby E. (Beeler) Vanderslice, born in Atchison County March 29, 1933. His family moved to the farm near Winston in 1945. He completed grade school at Fairview country school, and graduated high school at Winston, class of 1950. He is survived by his brother, Gary of Winston and sister's in laws, Mae, Janice and Felicia, several cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers Olin, Bob, and Kenneth. Rex served two years in the Army, returning to the family farm. He soon after moved to Colorado working in the building trade including the construction of the Air Force Academy. He returned to Missouri in 1962 and farmed with his brothers and father. He resided at the farm with his parents, caring for them until their passing and his retirement. He loved the outdoors, hunting and gunsmithing, and was a favorite uncle to his nieces and nephews as well as his family. Rex attended the Fairview Community Church and will be sadly missed by all. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. April 27 at Fairview Community Church with graveside burial at Cope Cemetery, Weatherby, immediately following the service.

By Ashley By rd, Missou rinet A bill moving quickly through the Missouri House attempts to stop a high voltage, wind energy transmission line designated to run through private property in northern Missouri. The bill was voted out of committee Wednesday and proponents expect it to be on the House floor within two weeks, with the staunch support of Speaker Elijah Haahr. “In light of the recent PSC decision on the Grain Belt Express, the General Assembly will act to protect Missourians from private companies trying to seize their land through eminent domain. The legislation the House is moving forward is vital for many Missourians who otherwise would be forced to allow unreasonable restrictions on their family farms, damaging the value of their land and taking away their private property rights,” Haahr wrote in an official statement this week. At issue is the developers’ use of eminent domain to get the acreage they need to put up transmission towers in a span of 200 miles through Buchanan, Clinton, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Randolph, Monroe, and Ralls counties, involving more than 500 landowners.

Area churches announce special Easter services Jameson Christian The Jameson Christian Church would like to invite the community to their Easter Service on Sunday, April 21. Fellowship and refreshments start at 9 a.m. Discover the amazing connections between Jesus and the Passover with a presentation starting at 9:30 a.m. The presentation will be followed by an inspired Easter message by Pastor Kirk Pugsley at 10:15 am. The church is located at 2nd Chestnut Street in Jameson. Contact Pastor Kirk Pugsley at 660-373-1560 for more information. Altamont United Methodist Passion/Palm Sunday worship theme was “The King is Coming!” Procession of the Palms was done by the congregation. Children’s time story was about putting a little stone on your table and remembering his suffering. Special music was by Krista Clark, “Hosanna.” Scripture reading was by James Wilson on the triumphant entry in Jerusalem, from John 12:12-15. Pastor Marilyn’s message was “Is That All There Is?” UMW meeting was held Wednesday. Six Easter cards were sent to loved ones. Two devotional stories were read by Francis, “Love From a Child” and “Forgive Me Lord for Being Headstrong.” The Maundy Thursday service is at 7 p.m. We will share in worship and the sacrament of Holy Communion. Join us for Easter Sunday morning. The traditional Easter egg hunt will be held for all. Sympathy to the Fred Sweany family. Friends in Christ The opening was led by Shonna Morrison, and Mike Earnst led us in prayer. Praise songs were “Because He Lives” and “What a Beautiful Name It Is.” We were in week five of the sermon series “Bystander” by Andy Stanley out of North Point Church in Atlanta, GA. The message was called “Open Eyes” and was based on John 9:1-34. Small group time followed the message. We will have a breakfast fellowship on April 28 at 9:30 a.m. Gallatin United Methodist Pastor Brad Dush, with all the children holding palm branches, entered the sanctuary saying Hosanna as Sue Bird played the prelude. After the children listened to Pastor Brad’s message, “Egg is the Symbol of New Life,” he gave each child an empty egg and encouraged them to return next Sunday with something alive inside their egg. His congregational message was “Je-

sus…Our Savior! Part 2” based on John 3:14-21. Congratulations to Cassie and Andrew Pierce on the birth of their son, James Andrew. Maundy Thursday service is April 18 at 6 p.m. Our church will be the host for the Community Good Friday service on Friday, April 19, at 7 p.m. with the Christian Church minister, Pastor Kyle, giving the Easter message. Prayer concerns are for Kay Kordes. Lake Viking “The Triumphal Entry” was Pastor Robert Nelson’s sermon on the Sunday before Easter. The main scripture was Psalm 118:21-29. Mark Beeson blessed us with “Wayfaring Stranger” for the special music. Easter will be a busy time at Lake Viking Church. The annual Sunrise Service will begin at 7 a.m. Following the service a breakfast of biscuits and gravy will be served at 8 a.m. The regular Sunday worship service will begin at 10 a.m. Gallatin First Baptist Bro. Wood Marshall opened the service with announcements. Greg Macy led in our intercessory prayer time. Garrett Dungy and Jeremy Ripple provided special music in worship to the Lord. Bro. Garrett presented part two from Luke 11:1-1, “Disciple’s Prayer: God Expects Us to Include 9 Recognitions in Prayer.” Come celebrate Easter morning with us! The choir will present “Living Hope” during our morning worship service. Our church family will be having a luncheon after Sunday morning service on April 28 for Brother Garrett and his family as he has accepted the Lord’s calling to serve in Kirksville. Tuesday evenings the men’s and women’s Bible studies begin at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening is Reach Youth Group 5:30-7:30 p.m. with meal provided. Fairview Fairview opened with prayers for Aretha Robertson, Arvella Eaton, Carmen Lee, Judy Clark, Martin Zimmerman, Deanna Newey, Tracy Michael, Steve McFee, Aspen Clark, Carol Wright, Cleta Wright, Leo Lang, Saxton Plily, Kay Cox, Marvin McFee, Thomas Roberts, Arlene Grimes, Joyce Perkins and Rex Vanderslice family with prayer by Vanda Davis. Worship was opened by Shelly Mason with “Doxology” and praise song “Rejoice in the Lord Always.” Prayer was by Raymond Searcy. Hymn “Blessed Assurance” was by the congregation. Offering and special music was by Marsha

Vanisko. “Open My Eyes that I May See” was accompanied by Marsha. Scripture was Matthew 21:1-11 and message was “The King of Peace” by Pastor Shadrach Landry. Easter Sunrise Service and breakfast for Winston Baptist and all of Fairview and friends is at 7 a.m. Worship service is 9-10 a.m. followed by the children’s Easter egg hunt. All invited. Gallatin First Christian The board voted at its last meeting to change the worship schedule. Beginning May 5, we will have one Sunday morning worship service at 9 a.m. with Sunday School and small groups after worship. We have had two worship services for several years, the early contemporary service and the later traditional service. After much discussion, a congregational survey, and declining attendance at the second service over the past five years, the decision has been made to unify the services and unite the congregation. Pastor Kyle Taft’s Palm Sunday message was “Jesus Is...” based on Matthew 21:1-10. Wes Gay presented the Focus on the Cross reading, “The Sign,” and Carl Carder placed the sign on the cross. Children enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in Fellowship Hall following worship. Prayer requests include the family of David F. Cox. Holy Week services include FCC’s Maundy Thursday Last Supper reenactment and communion service at 7 p.m. on April 18; community Good Friday service at 7 p.m. April 19 at the Methodist Church, sponsored by Gallatin Ministerial Alliance; FCC Easter sunrise service at 7 a.m. at the crosses, followed by breakfast in Fellowship Hall, 9:30 a.m. combined worship service. The annual CWF Salad Supper is at 6 p.m. on April 23. Youth groups will meet at the church April 28 and will have a weekly Bible study on Wednesdays through May at the Beenken home. We will recognize our high school graduates on May 5 at our first 9 a.m. unified service. FCC will host a community blood drive from 2-6 p.m. on May 7.

342 free labs

for residents during Public Health Week The Daviess County Health Department (DCHD) celebrated National Public Health Week April 1-7. Public Health week is the first week in April. This year the theme was “Creating the Healthiest Nation, for Science, for Action, and for Health.” To start the celebration off the Daviess County Board of Trustees voted to give back to the community for their support of the health department by offering free lab draws to Daviess County residents. Discounted lab prices were offered to non-residents. It was a fantastic turn out. With the teamwork of four nurses drawing blood and six people scheduled every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to noon, on day one, they drew 134 labs; on day two 129 labs were drawn. Also available on those days were free blood pressures done by DCHD board members Mary Beth Pittsenbarger, RN, and Shelly Sims, RN. Resource booths participating from the community were the Active Aging Resource Center (Deanna Lewis), Access II

Independent Living Center (Jessica Adkins), and Daviess County Nursing and Rehab (Amber Griffin and Terri Bolling). DCHD’s registered dietician, Anna Barlow, and breastfeeding peer counselor, Caitlin Roberts, also did outreach for WIC. Great information and resources were offered by all booths. Wednesday was regular WIC Clinic Day. Thursday was Stroke Detection Plus doing four life saving screenings for stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease, and osteoporosis. An optional EKG test was offered too. Stroke Detection Plus came from Des Moines Iowa. The health department offered $25 off to Daviess County residents who brought the orange advertisement in with them the day of screenings. The participant total for stroke detection was 60, which is an excellent turn out, and a step towards keeping the community healthy. The last day of Public Health week was Friday, with the scheduled “Lunch Time: Walk around the Square” from noon to

one. This effort was to help businesses encourage their employees to walk a lap or more around the courthouse to increase a healthy lifestyle. Anyone in the community was welcomed to walk. When you walked around the square DCHD had signs posted with reminders to recycle, conserve water, be aware about clean air, walk instead of drive, stay active and the benefits of plants. DCHD staff also carried “Autism Awareness” pinwheels as they walked. Participants received a free safety light. Despite the chilly winds and cloudy skies, 18 joined in the walk. As Public Health Week ends, a big thank you goes out to Gary Alexander, volunteer; Superior Auto Wash and Gallatin Publishing Company for extra parking; Quest Diagnostics; Dr. Larry Dickinson, Medical Director; Daviess County Commissioners; and Stroke Detection Plus. They all helped make this event happen. The continued support of the community is what makes Public Health Week such a success, and the Daviess County Health Department appreciates that.

What’s the process of lab work? The nurses draw two vials of blood from each person to check for several different lab tests. These vials then must sit for a specific amount of time to clot. Once they have clotted they are put in a centrifuge by volunteer Gary Alexander. A centrifuge is simply a machine that spins around to make a large and useful force (for example, to separate blood products). Blood plasma is separated from the blood by spinning a tube of fresh blood containing an anticoagulant in a centrifuge until the blood cells fall to the bottom of the tube. Once the blood is separated it is then ready to be bagged for transport. The nurses will make sure each tube has the correct labels and the correct corresponding forms. Quest then picks up the labs. Usually the results are on the health department printer within 48-72 hours. Results are put in an envelope with educational materials and mailed to the client. During these two days a total of 263 labs were done, but the staff also did four schools in the county which brings the total to 342 labs!
