Casey Smith takes rare albino turkey

Casey Smith, 8, harvested a 16-pound albino jake turkey with a four-inch beard on April 20 on private land near Polo. Casey was hunting with his grandfather, Michael Russell, and using his great-grandfather’s 20-gauge shotgun. It was his first turkey and he called it in himself. His grandfather has been taking Casey out to sit in hunting blinds to watch the wildlife since Casey was a year old. Casey has a long list of hunting and fishing success for such a youngster. Casey’s turkey was featured on the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Facebook page. Albino animals range from uncommon to very rare and are legal to harvest in Missouri. Casey’s parents are Kaley Sheldon of Gallatin and the late Devin Smith. Casey’s father passed away April 10, 2011, when Casey was just seven months

old. Casey is in Mrs. Adkison’s second grade class at Searcy R-5 Elementary, Gallatin.

Public comment wanted May 2 on Little Otter Creek project

The building and financing of Little Otter Creek near Hamilton, a project which has been in the works for over a decade, is finally entering its final stages. A public meeting will be held May 2 for comment regarding permitting, environmental impact, and the need for additional water sources in the area. The permitting for the Little Otter Creek Lake has been sub-

mitted to the Corps of Engineers (COE) and printed in the National Register. “We would appreciate any ‘positive comments’ from the public concerning the Little Otter Creek Lake to present to the Corps of Engineers during this public comment period,” noted Bud Motsinger, Presiding Commissioner of Caldwell County. The Caldwell County Com-

mission, in cooperation with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), will hold a public information open house from 3-8 p.m. next Thursday afternoon, May 2, at the Church of the Nazarene in Kingston. NRCS representatives will be present to answer questions and receive comments concerning the Little Otter Creek Lake Project in Caldwell County.

The major permitting requirements for the Corps of Engineers have been submitted and the public comment open house is one of the final requirements needed for approval. This includes the 404 permit as part of the Clean Water Act and the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) and the 401 state permit as well as (continued on page 3)

OPINION

May 1, 2019

Thanks, Mrs. Armstrong There’s not a living product of my elementary school who can forget Mrs. Armstrong. She taught just one classroom in one level at the grade school I attended. But her reputation and daily presence in the hallways commanded attention. Her name, after all, was “arm strong” and her dexterity using the paddle was legend. The lady probably stood barely more than five-and-a-half feet tall even in high heels, but to all us grade schoolers she was a giant. She liked red lipstick and had wavy silver hair like anybody’s grandmother. But we never figured out her soft spot. Her mantra was, “You show me a teacher who lets you get away with foolishness and I’ll show you someone who just doesn’t care about you. I do! Now, keep your hands to yourself, get back in line, and let’s hurry back to our books. Let’s get started!” At the time I felt lucky that Mrs. Armstrong was not one of my regular classroom teachers. She sometimes led some sessions after school that occasionally involved me. At that age you’re outwardly afraid of all adults (but inside you’re trying to sort out who counts and who th itor s i doesn’t). I was discovering authority, the kind that lies beyond the scope of just what’s familiar, beyond the jurisdiction of my daily classroom teacher. My real acquaintance with Mrs. Armstrong occurred on what I considered neutral turf – the hallway. I would by Darryl Wil inson never run anywhere inside a classroom. But running hard down that long corridor to recess was the most natural thing a boy could do. Hallways leading to exit doorways were like a highway to heaven. Amen. Whenever the coast was clear, rules didn’t apply – some grownups still believe that. As kids we thought rules applied only when some adult was looking. So when our teacher for whatever reason got hung up inside the classroom, we broke silently into the hallway. Just outside the classroom door we paused … we looked … and, of course (are you kidding me?) yes! We ran. After a few strides a dark silhouette against the bright sunlight of the doorway at the far end of the hallway emerged. There was no mistaking Mrs. Armstrong. She boldly strode out to roadblock our stampede. She was gripping her paddle, declaring the hallway was HER turf. The way she held her ground made it obvious things were going down her way regardless of our claims about any highway. Educators are best equipped when possessing that piercing voice which penetrates and, in this case, echoes. Let’s just say her fury arose to the occasion. I stopped immediately upon her command whereas my buddy, running even faster than I was, didn’t. Maybe he couldn’t. I dunno. It was one of those split-second decisions with no second chances. I stopped; he didn’t. Our lots were cast. I stood trembling, wishing I was still running beside him right up until the moment Mrs. Armstrong collared him as he failed on his break to freedom. His fate remains as an indelible memory. Whole classrooms of witnesses watched (and no doubt other whole classrooms of kids heard) why this particular teacher was so appropriately named Mrs. Arm-Strong. Each well-deserved lash could have been applied to any one of us. Even those who didn’t run whimpered. Thus, by such mere chance as being a step slow, I managed to avoid the personal acquaintance of her paddle on that day. Yet, the lesson was far from over. I already witnessed the strong arm of the law. I was about to learn about the long arm of the law, how the consequence of crime tends to follow you wherever you go, never leaving you alone.

Days later I unexpectedly found myself gazing at my mother who was visiting with Mrs. Armstrong in that very same hallway. I knew what was happening. I just knew Mrs. Armstrong was relishing in the report of my crime. I felt doomed. I immediately began to stew over what punishment I knew would ensue as soon as my dad got home. I consider this as an epiphany. Even days after my dastardly deed, Mrs. Armstrong still could convict me with just a few choice whispered words. And she was whispering in mom’s ear. It was happening right before my eyes; I expected what I deserved. I approached my beckoning mother like a lamb led to slaughter. However, instead Poosey Digest Favorites of berating my hallway ime e m in b F ie a a ie C m behavior, Mrs. ArmLike all strict teachers, we dread strong glanced at me and spoke up to offer a them when they’re with us and compliment to me on miss them when they’re gone. something or other she observed during one of those after school sessions. Reprieve! I couldn’t believe it. I deserved to get nailed. But Mrs. Armstrong not only showed mercy but she sealed the whole affair with a personal signal of forgiveness I’ll never forget. She smiled. It didn’t add up. So later I asked mom about what caused Mrs. Armstrong to smile. Mom helped me see Mrs. Armstrong as more than just a loud voice with a paddle. I learned she was a childless widow and almost our neighbor, living alone on a farm not that far from ours. I had no idea. I sensed my mother’s respect and admiration as she spoke more about her. No doubt Mrs. Armstrong had no choice but to be strong. Only the truly strong know just how and when to show compassion and love. I guess what I’m trying to share is how at graduation time, it’s not the graduation speaker we pause to remember. Most of us don’t remember who got what scholarship, whether awards accurately matched the merit or even where the diploma so hard to earn is now stored. Education, done right, goes much deeper than merely that. Many of us can name those teachers who helped raise us up into adulthood, level by level. Fortunately for me, the succession began with Mrs. Adams in first grade, then Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Fahrmeier, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Scheiber, and then so many more. (continued on page 3)

persistent flooding we have seen for the last several years cannot continue. Reducing the flooding occurrences will require the Army Corps of Engineers to quit doing what they’ve done the past 15 years. Solutions proposed during our discussion included prioritizing flood control, removing fish and wildlife from the Missouri River authorized purposes, limiting habitat reclamation programs, increasing upland flood storage and improving navigation. All these concerns are deeply intertwined with the persistent flooding we have seen over the last decade and a half on the Missouri. The bottom line is we need to change our priorities when it comes to managing the Missouri River and I am committed to doing just that. I am confident we can rebuild in the wake of this flood, just as we did in 2011. This time, I am hopeful we can finally change the river management practices that have increased the occurrence and severity of flooding along the Missouri over the last 15 years.

Prioritizing education, infrastructure by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

On April 24, the Missouri Senate passed the 13 bills that compose the state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year. Now that the Senate and House of Representatives have each passed their respective versions of the budget, a conference committee will meet to discuss any discrepancies. Both bodies must approve identical versions of the state budget by May 10. The governor considers which parts of the budget to sign into law and which parts, if any, to veto and send back to the Legislature. The 2020 fiscal year begins on July 1. As approved by the Senate, the 2020 state budget covers approximately $29.753 billion in public funding. About one-third of the budget comes from the federal government, with stipulations on where and how the money can be spent. Another third goes toward General Revenue, the state’s discretionary spending account. The final third is targeted spending, or money that is designated

Redistricting redo? by State R ep . J . E ggl eston

Last November, voters had to make choices on seven different constitutional amendments and propositions, which was spelled out in 97 pages of legalese. Those 97 pages did not tell any back story about the amendments, such as what special interest groups sponsored them, where their money came from, or who would financially or politically benefit from their passage. To be a fully informed voter, a citizen would not only have to read and understand all of the legalese, but also do their own research into the amendments’ backgrounds to grasp the impact each measure might have. Some have suggested that voters were overwhelmed with either too much information or a lack of information, and may have been too influenced by TV commercials or mailers that do not tell the full story. The measure most suspect of this is Amendment 1, which was nicknamed Clean Missouri. Amendment 1 was not just a single amendment, but actually six amendments packed into one. The six provisions were a $5 limit on lobbyist gifts to legislators, campaign contribution limits of $2000/$2500 for House/ Senate members, exposure of all legislative emails (including personal emails from constituents) to sunshine requests, requiring a two-year wait period before a former legislator could become a lobbyist, disallowing campaign activities on government owned property, and redefining the process for drawing House and Senate districts. The first five provisions, which fall under the umbrella of ethics reform, were either already in place or nearly in place. The House had passed a lobbyist

Class scheduling and other chaos in junior and senior high defies compiling all the names into a simple list. Not every teacher is a good teacher, but every teacher matters. The good ones really do make a difference. It’s weird, actually. I can’t exactly remember what we learned when we learned it. Knowledge doesn’t always occur in a straight line. But I do remember my teachers. When I consider the lineup of teachers who helped me the most, I can hear not only their voice but their laughter much more than their scorn. This is why graduations are always important. To truly celebrate the Class of 2019, we must respect and honor those teachers who we remember for all the right reasons for the rest of our lives. Respect and thanks to teachers should be an everyday thing. It is particularly proper to formally do so at every graduation. No, Mrs. Armstrong wasn’t one of my regular classroom teachers. But she left her impression on me and today, literally decades later, I smile when I think about her. She showed me mercy.

gift ban, and it just need to get through the Senate. Campaign contributions were already limited to $2600. And legislators already had a one-session wait period before they could become lobbyists, and were forbidden from campaigning while in the capitol building, so not much changed there. The prime change was the redistricting, and some have argued that it was intentionally bundled with the ethics tweaks to get voters to approve. The old way that redistricting worked was that a panel of half Republicans and half Democrats would decide the district boundaries, and if this bi-partisan panel could not agree then a team of judges would draw them. The main consideration would be to keep districts “contiguous and compact” to avoid gerrymandering. In Amendment 1, the new way is to have a single person – a state demographer who is chosen from a list provided by the elected State Auditor -- draw the districts, with the main consideration being “partisan fairness”, meaning about 50/50 Republican/ Democrat. Therefore, it would be likely that a district that held, say, Eagleville in conservative Harrison County would be paired with an area in urban Kansas City in liberal Jackson County to achieve the required 50/50 partisan make-up. To insure these districts would not exceed the 37,000 population limit, they would likely be very long and thin, with each county having multiple representatives. Currently, my district is neatly drawn along the borders of Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, and Harrison Counties. That would change substantially if the redistricting provisions of Amendment 1 stay in place. I have explained all of this as the background to tell you there is a bill in the House to put the redistricting portion of Amendment 1 back before the voters to see if that is what was really desired, or if that was something voters held their nose on so they could pass the more appealing ethics changes. The bill is HJR 48. It has received one successful vote in the House. It needs two more and to be passed by the Senate to be put on the ballot for voters to approve. The deadline for its passage is May 17.

The tragic fire at Notre Dame has reminded me of conversations with a couple of my colleagues over the years about the difference in covering a fire versus covering a flame. Our discussions provide an interesting perspective to coverage of the “Ride the Ducks” tragedy. So much of journalism focuses on the details of we call “breaking news” -- a fire, hurricane, crime or sinking of a boat. But in public-policy journalism, we look for underlying policy issues and special interest motivations. “A fire is more than just a flame,” is how a dear friend, Wes Pippert, recently described the perspective that we public-policy reporters bring to our coverage. He had been a White House correspondent for the United Press International wire service covering a statehouse, Congress, the White House and later the Middle East before becoming a col- by Phill league on the MU Journalism Brooks School as director of the Washington Reporting Program. As we discussed, so often the flame of a “breaking news” event in government and politics actually is an orchestrated event to distract news attention from the real story. More importantly, sometimes a real fire raises deeper issues than just the immediate facts of a political scandal or event. That was the topic of a discussion I had in Moscow 15 years ago with another MU Journalism School friend, the late Stuart Loory. He joined our faculty after a distinguished career in journalism as a leading newspaper reporter, CNN’s Washington managing editor and then a top CNN news executive. Stuart was working with journalism students in Moscow where he had been a reporter and bureau chief. Although he did not use the phrase “a fire is more than just a flame,” it reflected the focus in an assignment he gave to his Moscow students. At the time, an historic building outside the Kremlin walls burned down. Stuart had his students dig into why the Russian government failed to shave fire protection for such an important site. A major issue involved private interests who could gain from destruction of the site to make it available for private, profit-making development. Stuart reflected on the inadequate fire protections of the Bolshoi Theater where his wife had been a ballerina. Shortly later, a six-year renova-

tion of the historic building was undertaken that included fire protection. If he were alive, I’m sure Stuart would be asking why the French government allowed Notre Dame to be without adequate fire protection for so many decades. That brings me to last summer’s tragedy of “Ride the Ducks” boat that cost so many lives. There was immediate coverage to uncover the facts that led to the deaths. What were the weather warnings? Were the passengers wearing life vests? But I wondered about water-safety questions that arose after of absorption the Water Patrol into the Highway Patrol. I also pondered that if the legislature can debate safety requirements for private boats like sitting on the railings, what about regulating public use of altered military water craft? The growing emphasis instant news was at the core of my discussions with Wes and Stuart. Part of the reason involves the financial pressures on news organizations to reduce staff. Another factor involves the increasing pressure on reporters to blog and tweet throughout the day in an effort to attract a digital audience. That leaves less time and mental attention to pursue the fire behind the single flame. As a decades-long broadcast reporter, I confess falling into that trap of adrenaline excitement from a breaking story like the Eric Greitens’ scandal without focusing on the more important policy issues. On the positive side, I’ve seen in recent years growing reporting efforts to dig into the underlying factors of major statehouse issues. For example, there have been detailed stories on the influence of special-interest money in the state. The Associated Press has launched an effort to put statehouse issues into a national context. I realize the public may be less interested in these longer stories that lack drama. But so often understanding the full context of a fire is more important than the specific details of a single flame.

ago, but the COE requested additional regulatory environmental studies and alternatives to be completed before they would issue a permit. This supplement addresses changes since NRCS prepared the Little Otter Creek Watershed Plan and Environmental Impact Statement in 2003. The supplement updates the original Environmental Impact Statement by providing more recent relevant environmental information and expanded alternatives analysis. The supplement analyzes a range of reasonable and practicable alternatives and their expected environmental impacts. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has released a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Little Otter Creek Watershed Plan. The plan involves construction of a proposed multipurpose reservoir in Caldwell County. Additional environmental studies, endangered species and biological assessments, ecological flow taskforce reports and other data are included in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

The primary purpose of the Little Otter Creek Lake is to provide a source of drinking water to communities in Caldwell County, with the secondary purpose of providing flood control and recreational opportunities. The federal government has committed over $9 million and the state and local over $4 million toward the lake project. Some additional funding may still be required. If all goes as planned with the final approval by the COE, the construction of the lake could be put out for bid in the fall of 2019 with construction to begin the following spring. It is estimated that clearing and construction will take approximately two years. Based on average rainfall, it may take up to two years for the lake to fill. Submit public comments on the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement to Chris Hamilton, Assistant State Conservationist, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Parkade Center Suite 250, 601 Business Loop 70 West, Columbia, Missouri 65203-2585 or to Chris.Hamilton@mo.usda.gov.

Hepatitis C can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. Hepatitis C is often described as

“acute,” meaning a new infection, or “chronic,” meaning lifelong infection. Acute hepatitis C occurs within the first six months after someone is exposed to the hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C can be a shortterm illness, but for most people, acute infection leads to chronic infection. Chronic hepatitis C can be a lifelong infection with the hepatitis C virus if left untreated. Left untreated, chronic hepatitis C can cause serious health problems, including liver damage, cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer, and even death. Hepatitis C virus is not spread by sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, holding hands, coughing, or sneezing. It is also not spread through food or water. Daviess County Health Department is located at 609A S. Main Street in Gallatin. Phone 660-663-2414.

Blossoming musicians have Gallatin roots Azelynn Wilson, 10, and her sister Amity, 8, performed at the Hannibal Area String Orchestra on April 26 at the Roland Fine Arts Center at Hannibal-LaGrange College. Both girls played violin and were accompanied by pianist Bonnie (Bandelier) Campbell, a Gallatin High School graduate. Three of Bonnie’s children were also in the concert. Bonnie frequently assists the Hannibal orchestra at their musical performances. This production was called “A Very Short History of Music.”

MDC finds more deer with CWD The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports 41 new positive test results for chronic wasting disease (CWD) have been confirmed following its sampling and testing of more than 32,000 free-ranging Missouri deer during its 2018-2019 disease-surveillance efforts. The 41 new positive test results bring Missouri’s total CWD detections to 116 since 2012. The new positives were from the following counties: Adair: 3; Crawford: 1; Franklin: 5; Jefferson: 1; Linn: 3; Macon: 8; Mercer: 1; Oregon: 5; Polk: 3; St. Clair: 2; Ste. Genevieve: 7; Stone: 1; Taney: 1. Of the 41 new CWD positives, 15 were found through mandatory sampling; 12 through voluntary sampling; 12 through targeted culling; and 2 from road-killed, sick, or found dead deer. CWD is a deadly illness in white-tailed deer and other members of the deer family, called cervids. CWD kills all deer and other cervids it infects.

Azelynn and Amity have been taking lessons for about four years. They are the children of Jacob and Cindy Wilson of Louisiana, MO, and grandchildren of Sharon and Junior Burke of Gallatin and Tim and Wendy Wilson of Jameson. Cindy graduated from Gallatin and Jacob is a Gilman City graduate. The girls are in the beginners orchestra and played four musical numbers with the whole group, which included the intermediate and advanced group, and then joined them for the finale.

Occasionally a vegetable gardener will ask me if closely related plants will cross and affect the flavor of the vegetables they are growing in their garden. Usually this is not a problem, unless you are saving seed. Normally even if two plants will cross, the flavor of the vegetable in question will remain the same as its parent for the summer that you planted it. If you save seed, however, the flavor of future crops may change, if new genetics have been introduced through cross-pollination. Some exceptions do exist. One example is corn, where pollen from another type of corn can affect the type you are growing. Plant breeders refer to this trait as xenia. An example of this is where pollen from field corn affects the sweet corn you are growing and produces starchy kernels instead of sugary ones. The Cucurbitaceae (melons, pumpkins, squash, and gourds) usually do not have this problem. Some of them will not cross naturally anyway. But seed savers have to know what they are doing and insure that possible crosses are guarded against. Still, rumors about same-year flavor changes in the plant you are growing persist. One, for example, holds that cucumbers will cross with cantaloupes and ruin their flavor. These plants are both in the same genus (Cucumis), but belong to different species. Normally, these will not cross, and even if they did, it is doubtful that the flavor would be affected in that current year.

River trip in KC The Missouri Department of Conservation will offer a guided sunset canoe float trip on the river in the Kansas City area from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. MDC staff will lead participants on a float from Platte Landing Park in Parkville to Kaw Point Access in the Fairfax district of Kansas City, Kan. Registration opens May 1. Visit MDC’s event signup page, https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZNC. For more information, call 816759-7300.

Poor flavor in cantaloupes could be due to either genetics or environment. If your cantaloupes have a problem with flavor, try changing varieties, or look for some cultural or environmental factor that is causing the problem. Watermelons do not cross with other vine crops, except for citron, which is closely related. Since most gardeners don’t grow citrons, that’s usually not a concern. Pumpkin, squash and gourds present another problem, which can be complex. Some will cross, while others will not. Again, I would not be too concerned about it, unless you are saving seed. If you are doing that, you should get a good book on the subject and learn what to do. The reason that pumpkins, squash and gourds present a complex situation is that the com-

mon classifications do not follow the botanical divisions between species. In other words, what we commonly call pumpkins may occur in several species. In summary, except for corn, don’t worry about cross-pollination affecting the flavor of this year’s crop.

A Answer

Public Notices.

s r

Construction bid notices, published in a legallyqualified local newspaper, inform citizens how their tax money is being spent and inform construction contractors about public projects on which to bid.

Hardly a week passes without some small notice being printed in this newspaper. These notices, required by law, affect you and your family and friends. They show how your government is being run, how much money is being spent and where. They keep you in touch with your government through this newspaper. That’s the whole idea.

From the Bench

Juror Appreciation Week: True patriots serve on juries B y 4 3 r d C ir c u it J u d g e R . B r e n t E llio tt Each year hundreds of citizens of the 43rd Circuit make the trek to their respective courthouses in response to a summons for jury duty. It is a low-paying, thankless task that is sometimes tiring and stressful. So much for the upside. The thousands of you who have appeared before me for jury service have heard the following comment: “I want to thank you for reporting for jury duty this morning. I realize you all have things you would rather be doing or other places you would rather be. But there is perhaps nothing you could be doing that is more important. The right to trial by jury is the heart of our judicial system. It is the very foundation

of a free and democratic society. I thank you for your service to your community, your state, and your country.” Truth can be an evasive goal in our courtrooms, but I have never spoken truer words. Our judicial system is not perfect, yet arguably the best in the world. It cannot function without citizens, like you, who are willing to fulfill this civic duty. Pursuant to an order of the Missouri Supreme Court, Missouri is one of only a handful of states to recognize a statewide juror appreciation week. The first week of May has been designated as a time to reflect upon the important role local citizens play in the administration of our judicial system. During my 38 years as a prosecutor, practicing attorney and judge, I have participated in over 100 jury trials. The vast majority of these have occurred in the 43rd Judicial Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and

Livingston counties). I am constantly amazed at the attentiveness and thoughtfulness demonstrated by our jurors. In declaring jury appreciation week, Missouri’s Supreme Court recognized “the most important aspect of patriotism is fulfilling one’s civic responsibility.” My sincerest thanks to those citizens of the circuit who recognize and fulfill this obligation – you are true patriots. Special Note: Last month I mentioned Judge Kanoy’s annual “Big Bad Wolf” trial in Caldwell County. A capacity crowd again witnessed the wolf’s dastardly deeds go unpunished as a hung jury resulted in his acquittal. Perhaps the first-grade jurors took the position, “Let he who is without sin…” Look for the retrial in April 2020. E d ito B r ent E ar ticl es l ic w ith j udicial

“We appreciate and continue to seek the public’s input on how to best implement Article XIV of the Constitution,” said Dr. Randall Williams, DHSS Director. “After careful due diligence based on broad input and other states’ experiences, we are establishing the number of licenses in this first year to be consistent with what is outlined in the Constitution.

The Pattonsburg Board of Education addressed some concerns with the school lunches that are being served to students during their meeting held April 16. The concerns about the school lunches included: Are the students eating what is being served? How much is being thrown away? Are the students being served enough by the state guidelines? The menu seems to be repeated almost every week with not much effort put into the preparations. Superintendent Scott Ireland said he would check into these concerns. April 2 election results were approved and the old board was dissolved. The oath of office was administered to new board members, Brooke Johnson and Steven Pankau. The board was reorganized as follows: Stephanie Mason, president; Brian Teel, vice-president; Lyle Hoover, secretary; Laura Booth, treasurer. The board thanked Jason Teel and Nathan Woodward for their time and dedication serving on the board of the Pattonsburg school district. Jason Teel has served the district for 15 years and Nathan Woodward served three years. Principal McCrary gave the report for elementary and high school. Superintendent Ireland updated the board on committees; committee members are still needed. The board entered into executive session to discuss personnel, student and legal matters.

a 105 to finish in 11th place. Justice Fry shot 112 to finish in 14th place. Riley Holmes added a 115 and 16th place finish for Gallatin.

Investigation leads to Denver man’s arrest for sex trafficking, kidnapping The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control has arrested Austin E. Myers, 65, of Denver, MO, for kidnapping, sexual trafficking of a child, and sodomy. The arrest was the result of an investigation conducted by the sheriff’s offices of Worth County and Columbia County, GA, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Nodaway County Juvenile Office, and the assistance of the Voices of Courage Child Advocacy Center, of St. Joseph. On April 24, 2019, the Worth County Sheriff’s Office was informed of the possible location of a “runaway” juvenile, by the Columbia County, GA, Sheriff’s Office. The juvenile was reported to have run away from her home in Georgia, and possibly at a residence on Highway M, in Denver, MO. Deputies from the Worth County Sheriff’s and a trooper from the Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the residence in an attempt to make contact with the juvenile. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the juvenile from Georgia and Myers, who was the resident of the home. Preliminary investigation indicated the juvenile had “run away” from her home in Georgia, and was at the residence upon her own volition. The juvenile was taken into custody and transported from the residence by the Nodaway County Juvenile Office, which serves Worth County. On April 25, 2019, an interview of the juvenile was conducted by the Voices of Courage Child Advocacy Center, of St. Joseph. The interview was attended by investigators of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. The interview and further investigative leads indicated the juvenile had not been at Myers’ residence willingly. On April 26, 2019, investigators of

the Division of Drug and Crime Control and deputies of the Worth County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at Myers’ residence located on Highway M, in Denver, MO. As a result of their search, investigators seized computer equipment believed to have been used during the crimes. Members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative Unit conducted forensic examinations on the computer equipment seized. As a result of the investigation, Myers was arrested and transported to the Worth County Sheriff’s Office. The Worth County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Myers with first degree kidnapping, second degree sexual trafficking of a child, and firstdegree sodomy. Myers’ bond was set at $125,000. He is currently being held at the Ringgold County Jail, in Mount Ayr, IA. Myers is being housed in Iowa based on a standing agreement between both states and the sheriffs’ offices. The investigation continues by the Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Worth County Sheriff’s Office. The Division of Drug and Crime Control encourages Internet users to promptly report to the Patrol or local law enforcement anyone who attempts to engage in unwanted, inappropriate, or sexualized communications with children. If you, or someone you know is being forced to engage in any activity and cannot leave, please call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline at: 1-888-3737888; or text 233733 (BeFree). The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Cameron woman gets 18 years with no parole for drug trafficking conspiracy A Cameron woman has been sentenced in federal court for her role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Jalie J. Brinlee, 29, was sentenced by U.S. Chief District Judge Beth Phillips on April 29 to 18 years in federal prison without parole. On Jan. 4 Brinlee pleaded guilty to participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Brinlee is among five defendants who have pleaded guilty in this case. Co-defendant Robert J. Keegan, 27, of Harrisonville, was sentenced on April 24 to 18 years in federal prison without parole. Co-defendants Benjamin W. Clark, 27, and Felicia C. Ward, 23, both of Cameron, and Frank E. Hundley, 34, of Kansas City, have pleaded guilty and await sentencing. All five of the defendants admitted they participated in a conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine from January to May 24, 2017. Clark and Brinlee purchased methamphetamine from various suppliers and distributed it to customers in Cameron, Kansas City and elsewhere. On May 12, 2017, Keegan was stopped by law enforcement and was found in possession of a Hipoint .40-caliber handgun and a

duffel bag containing approximately 3.8 kilograms of methamphetamine. On May 24, 2017, a trooper with the Missouri State Highway Patrol stopped Ward, who was carrying a Glock 9mm handgun in her purse. Ward had retrieved the handgun from the vehicle where Clark and Brinlee were located, and Brinlee admitted to possessing the firearm prior to transferring it to Ward. Also found in Ward’s purse was approximately one kilogram of methamphetamine, which Brinlee also admitted to possessing at the time of the traffic stop. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Edwards. It was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Belton Police Department, the Independence Police Department and the Jackson County Drug Task Force.

Dandelions...the myth, the legend The lowly dandelion announces spring’s arrival with a spackling of bright yellow blooms. Some consider the dandelion the scourge of lawns. Others savor its greens as a vegetable. Its sunny blooms give dandelion wine its unique flavor. “Either way, the dandelion is an interesting and tenacious perennial plant,” says University of Missouri Extension horticulture specialist Michele Warmund.

Dandelions bloom in spring and fall. Bees and other insects collect pollen from the blooms, although most of the pollen grains are infertile. The white, puffy seed head at the end of the scape contains many brown fruits called cypselae. The pappus, a feathery attachment on the cypselae, aids in the dispersal of seeds. “The fleshy taproots of dandelion are fascinating or nightmarish,” says Warmund. They grow

up to a foot long. When wounded, they fight back by growing callus tissue with two to five more shoots. Warmund recommends chemical control over digging or pulling roots. Apply post-emergent products containing 2,4-D in spring and fall. Dandelion seeds brought on the Mayflower were planted in the American colonies as a food crop rich in vitamins and minerals. Native Americans used dandelions for a variety of maladies. Myths about blowing on dandelion seed heads also provide intrigue, says Warmund. For example, if all seeds disappear after one strong puff, you are loved. If they remain, your “intended” has doubts. The number of remaining seed heads also might indicate the number of children a young woman would bear. For older people, the remaining seed heads tell the number of years remaining in their lives, according to myth.

Volunteering and its surprising benefits: How giving to others makes you healthier and happier b y J e a n n e S e g a l, P h .D . a n d L a w r e n c e R o b in s o n in H e a lth y L iv in g

With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community. The right match can help you reduce stress, find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. Learn more about the many benefits of helping others and find tips on getting started. W h y v o lu n te e r ? Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. Volunteering and helping others can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a longterm commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness. o o find e ri v o lu n te e r o p p o r tu n ity There are numerous volunteer opportunities available. The key is to find a position that you would enjoy and are capable of doing. It’s also important to make sure that your commitment matches the organization’s needs. Ask yourself the following: Would you like to work with adults, children, animals, or remotely from home? Do you prefer to work alone or as part of a team? Are you better behind the scenes or do you prefer to take a more visible role? How much time are you willing to commit? What skills can you bring to a volunteer job? What causes are important to you? C o n s id e r s e v e r a l v o lu n te e r p o s s ib ilitie s Don’t limit yourself to just one organization or one specific type of job. Sometimes an opportunity looks great on paper, but the reality is quite different. Try to visit different organizations and get a feel for what they are like and if you click with other staff and volunteers. Where to find volunteer opportunities? Consider the Active Agency Resource Center, Gallatin School’s Bright Futures Program, Seventh Day Community Service Center, and the Active Aging Nursing and Rehab. Service organizations such as Lions Clubs or Rotary Clubs Local animal shelters, rescue organizations, or wildlife centers Youth organizations, sports teams, and after-school programs Historical restorations, national parks, and conservation organizations Places of worship such as churches or synagogues Benefi s of o n eerin ays o fee ea ier a ier Volunteering connects you to others Volunteering is good for your mind and body Volunteering can advance your career Volunteering brings fun and fulfillment to your life •Benefit 1: olunteering connects you to others One of the more well-known

benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills. a e ne friends and con ac s One of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to an area. It strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and fulfilling activities. In c r e a s e y o u r s o c ia l a n d r e la tio n s h ip s k ills While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more friends and contacts. o n eerin as a fa i y Children watch everything you do. By giving back to the community, you’ll show them firsthand how volunteering makes a difference and how good it feels to help other people and animals and enact change. It’s also a valuable way for you to get to know organizations in the community and find resources and activities for your children and family. •Benefit : olunteering is good for your mind and body Volunteering provides many benefits to both mental and physical health. Volunteering helps counteract the effects of stress, anger, and anxiety. The social contact aspect of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological well-being. Nothing relieves stress better than a meaningful connection to another person. Working with pets and other animals has also been shown to improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Volunteering combats depression. Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with others and helps you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against depression. Volunteering makes you happy. By measuring hormones and brain activity, researchers have discovered that being helpful to others delivers immense pleasure. Human beings are hardwired to give to others. The more we give, the happier we feel. Volunteering increases selfconfidence. You are doing good for others and the community, which provides a natural sense of accomplishment. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity. And the better you feel about yourself, the more likely you are to have a positive view of your life and future goals. Volunteering provides a sense of purpose. Older adults, espe-

cially those who have retired or lost a spouse, can find new meaning and direction in their lives by helping others. Whatever your age or life situation, volunteering can help take your mind off your own worries, keep you mentally stimulated, and add more zest to your life. Volunteering helps you stay physically healthy. Studies have found that those who volunteer have a lower mortality rate than those who do not. Older volunteers tend to walk more, find it easier to cope with everyday tasks, are less likely to develop high blood pressure, and have better thinking skills. Volunteering can also lessen symptoms of chronic pain and reduce the risk of heart disease. a e i i ed o i i y can s till v o lu n te e r ? People with disabilities or chronic health conditions can still benefit greatly from volunteering. In fact, research has shown that adults with disabilities or health conditions ranging from hearing and vision loss to heart disease, diabetes or digestive disorders all show improvement after volunteering. Whether due to a disability, a lack of transportation, or time constraints, many people choose to volunteer their time via phone or computer. In today’s digital age, many organizations need help with writing, graphic design, email, and other web-based tasks. Some organizations may require you to attend an initial training session or periodical meetings while others can be conducted completely remotely. In any volunteer situation, make sure that you are getting enough social contact, and that the organization is available to support you should you have questions. •Benefit 3: olunteering can advance your career If you’re considering a new career, volunteering can help you get experience in your area of interest and meet people in the field. Even if you’re not planning on changing careers, volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice important skills used in the workplace, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, project planning, task management, and organization. You might feel more comfortable stretching your wings at work once you’ve honed these skills in a volunteer position first. T e a c h in g v a lu a b le jo b s k ills Just because volunteer work is unpaid does not mean the skills you learn are basic. Many volunteering opportunities provide extensive training. For example, you could become an experienced crisis counselor while volunteering for a women’s shelter or a knowledgeable art historian while donating your time as a museum docent. Volunteering can also help you build upon skills you already have and use them to benefit the greater community. For instance, if you hold a successful sales position, you can raise awareness for your favorite cause as a volunteer advocate, while further developing and improving your public speaking, communication, and marketing skills. G a in in g c a r e e r e x p e r ie n c e Volunteering offers you the chance to try out a new career without making a long-term commitment. It is also a great way to gain experience in a new field.

In some fields, you can volunteer directly at an organization that does the kind of work you’re interested in. For example, if you’re interested in nursing, you could volunteer at a hospital or a nursing home. Your volunteer work might also expose you to professional organizations or internships that could benefit your career. When it comes to volunteering, passion and positivity are the only requirements. While learning new skills can be beneficial to many, it’s not a requirement for a fulfilling volunteer experience. Bear in mind that the most valuable assets you can bring to any volunteer effort are compassion, an open mind, a willingness to pitch in wherever needed, and a positive attitude. •Benefit 4: olunteering brings fun and fulfillment to your life Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions. Doing volunteer work you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine of work, school, or family commitments. Volunteering also provides you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can carry over into your personal and professional life. Many people volunteer in order to make time for hobbies outside of work as well. For instance, if you have a desk job and

long to spend time outdoors, you might consider volunteering to help plant a community garden, walk dogs for an animal shelter, or help out at a children’s camp. C o n s id e r y o u r g o a ls , in te r e s ts You will have a richer and more enjoyable volunteering experience if you first take some time to identify your goals and interests. Think about why you want to volunteer. What would you enjoy doing? The opportunities that match both your goals and your interests are most likely to be fun and fulfilling. i s for e in s ar ed First, ask yourself if there is something specific you want to do. zFor example, do I want… …to improve the neighborhood where I live …to meet people who are different than me …to try something new …to do something with my spare time …to see a different way of life and new places …to have a go at the type of work I might want as a full-time job …to do more with my interests and hobbies …to share something I’m good at The best way to volunteer is to find a match with your personality and interests. Having answers to these questions will help you narrow down your search. Source: World Volunteer Web

Pattonsburg accepts bid for flooring

One bid for flooring was received from Gale Sweany, owner/ operator of Concrete Creations out of Coffey, and the Pattonsburg Board of Aldermen accepted the bid estimate of 9, 80 during the meeting held April 15. City hall was flooded in late February and all the hardwood flooring was ruined and had to be removed. The city decided to stain the concrete rather than putting down another type of flooring. A bid of ,633 from Mar armenter was accepted for new cabinets in the lab room at the water plant. The bid included all materials and labor. Rob Bozarth attended the meeting to ask if he could have the north section of property located at 1 olaris Drive surveyed. Mr. Bozarth has a lease purchase agreement with the City of Pattonsburg Industrial Development Association. He wants to measure off the back half of the lot so he can buy it, obtain a deed, and build on it. Otherwise, he would have to wait until the lease agreement comes to term. The city told Mr. Bozarth it will need to contact its lawyer. The board reviewed bids for health insurance and voted to go with Farm Bureau through United Healthcare in the amount of 1,8 9 monthly for all four employees. The city pays 100 . essica Flannering is the agent with Farm Bureau. The generator at Well is still

being repaired due to a lighting strike. The board voted to go to Paid Time Off (PTO) time instead of vacation/sick/personal time. As soon as the city can get cold mix, the pot holes will be fixed. Drainage behind the east buildings still needs to be fixed. pring cleanup is May 6. all cleanup is ept. 30. Monthly reports were reviewed and bills paid. A dumpster will be set up at Edna Johnson’s for cleanup after her house fire. The art teacher at the Pattonsburg R- school was contacted by the City of Pattonsburg about getting art students to redo the town sign. The students brought some designs for the board to choose from.
