Democrat candidate for county clerk now plans to seek the office as an Independent The only local race for a Daviess County courthouse office in the November 6 General Election was on ...then off ...and now perhaps back on again — but, if so, in an entirely different way. Teresa Eaton filed as a Democratic candidate for Daviess County Clerk, to challenge Republican Ronetta Burton who currently serves as county clerk. However, Ms. Eaton failed to file a personal financial disclosure (PFD) form by deadline, and she received notice that her name would not appear on ballots printed for elections to be held in August nor in November. And yet, an election contest may still occur. Disqualified as a Democratic candidate, Ms. Eaton has announced plans to file as an Independent candidate for county clerk. She will be seeking signa-

tures to submit a petition on or before July 30 to meet election eligibility requirements as an Independent candidate for the November ballot. State law requires candidates to file a personal financial disclosure (PFD) form with the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC). The disclosure form was required to be filed by April 10. A grace period through April 17 was also available, though with a penalty. Eaton failed to meet either deadline. Ms. Eaton signed a form acknowledging receipt of a written notice of her obligation to file a PFD, on March 16. By RSMo. 105.492, candidates who do not file a personal financial disclosure statement by the close of business on the 21st day after the last day for filing for (continued on page 12)

The Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), has awarded the 2018 Bookapalooza Program to three libraries, including the Daviess County Library, Gallatin. The other two libraries were Chilton/Clanton Public Library, Clanton, AL.; and Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach, FL. ALSC is the world’s largest organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of library service to children. ALSC consists of a network of more than 4,000 children and youth librarians, literature experts, publishers and educational faculty. Each library will receive around 600 pounds of materials, including books, DVDs and audio books. The award team shipped a total of 40 large boxes to the Daviess County Library which have arrived by the truckload at the library over the last two weeks. These are materials that were received at the ALSC office from publishers for selection committees to evaluate for awards and notables consideration. They are all 2017 copyright, brand new and in mint condition. To make room for the next year’s publications, the Bookapalooza award was created to infuse three library communities each year with new materials for children from through age 14. The Daviess County Library will catalog some of the materials for adding to the regular collection and other materials will be distributed directly to children all around Daviess County. As written in the grant proposal, the library plans to work with local school and community partners, such as the Daviess County Health Department, to put the books directly into the hands of area children. Library staff are in awe of the quality and variety of materials received so far. “We are a rural county and transportation, along with getting a library card, can actually be a large barrier for many young children and families, even though the library’s services are free,” said Library Director Allison Spidle.

“While we will end up cataloging and keeping approximately 500 of the total 2,000 or so Bookapalooza materials, the rest will be put on our free lending reading racks around the county and distributed directly to children throughout the summer via book give-away events.” The library has already coordinated with the mayors of Coffey and Jameson, as well as the Gallatin Summer School Program, to arrange for dates and times for book give-away events in May and June. The county jail has been contacted about putting a takea-book box there for children visiting parents. “We’re continuing to brainstorm though, as we just keep getting more books!” Director Spidle said.” Chief Cataloger Amy McMahon added, “Not everyone can make it to the library to participate in the Summer Reading Program. Parents work, access to a vehicle may be nonexistent, money for gas is tight, and distractions are everywhere. Keeping kids progressing and not regressing in their reading over the summer months is one of our key aims each year. “The grant was written to eliminate barriers and put quality, new books directly into the hands of local children. As a staff we are loving going through the boxes. It is like Christmas over and over again each time we see the post office truck pull up.”

Lingering economic malaise ‘normal’ for Daviess, 54 other counties A statewide survey was recently conducted by Missouri Rural Development Partners with the hope it would offer information about key issues, such as the economy and workforce, infrastructure and leadership, housing and health. The 2017 survey was launched against a backdrop in which 55 counties, including Daviess, have not returned to the employment and population levels of 2007…and possibly never will. The term “New Normal” has been widely used in the wake of the Great Recession to refer to places and businesses that may have permanently changed as a result of the recession, which officially lasted from December 2007 to June 2009. The average losses for population for these New Normal counties were -3.7% and jobs -9.5%.

Methodology -- An important goal of the

distribution effort was to put the survey in front of community leaders. This goal was successful

as 83% of respondents were engaged in some type of community organization. A large proportion (31.3%) served on boards or had been an elected official. In total, 2,261 valid responses to the survey and nearly 8,000 written comments were received.

The largest number of responses came from Vernon County (96) followed by Howell (70) and Taney (50), these were the only counties with 50 or more responses. Thirty counties had less than 10 responses. Daviess had 13 respondents, and surrounding counties: DeKalb 5: Clinton 21; Caldwell 12; Livingston 9; Grundy 14: Harrison 17: Gentry 32; Linn 47. The survey was conducted as a “convenience” survey. That means that it was open to anyone who had access to the survey and was willing to respond.

opulation -- One of the key indicators of a growing and prosperous economy is population growth. People are the drivers of economic development.

In the 2007 to 2016 period Missouri grew at less than one-half the rate of the US, 3.5% compared to 7.3% for the nation. Forty-seven of the 59 rural counties lost population. (Rural counties are distinguished by the lack of a large commercial center of 10,000 or more population.) The indicators are even worse when examining the 2010 to 2016 “recovery” from the recession. Eighty counties are estimated to have lost population since 2010.

hange in full-time jobs -- Employment growth indicators are equally troubling. All groups of counties except Metropolitan (counties with at least one city with 50,000 people); have experienced net job losses.

Eighty-two of Missouri’s counties have fewer jobs in 2017 than they had in 2007. The losses in rural counties equal -7.1%. There are 59 rural counties in Missouri. Not all rural counties experienced job losses. Notable exceptions are Perry, Howard, Hickory, and Madison counties

with growth rates that exceeded the national rate of 4.8%.

ategories for counties -- For the survey’s purposes, Missouri counties were assigned to four categories based on changes in employment and population between 2007 and 2017. ● Resilient Counties experienced growth in both population and income, 21 counties are in this group. ● Population Resilient Counties are those that experienced population growth but have not recovered to 2007 employment. This group of 27 counties is the most diverse with counties from all of the categories. ● Employment Resilient Counties have recovered to 2007 employment but lost population. Rural counties dominated this group with Howard (+8.6%) and Hickory (+8.3%) posting the largest employment gains. The average employment growth was 3.3% while population losses averaged -2.7%. Gentry, DeKalb, Caldwell, and Livingston belong to this group. (continued on page 3)

Who needs genetics? by Freida Marie Crump

Just a letter away from ‘pathetic’ Shop Talk: A few weeks ago the Missouri Press Association office in Columbia initiated some conversations about the printing and distribution of a special newspaper edition. As a printing plant, we do get the occasional phone call about printing. So the request, even for some anonymous buyer, was not all that unusual. But we soon learned this request for price was put individually to all nine legal newspapers we print — not just to the publisher who actually owns and operates a printing press. Nobody seemed to know who MPA represented in making these inquiries. So, something’s brewing. Now the picture is becoming clearer, and voters should start paying attention. My point? “Apathetic” is just one letter away from “pathetic.” Think with me here. An unusually heavy slate of progressive initiatives appears to be lining up before Missouri voters on the 2018 ballot. The topics include minimum wage, medical marijuana, right-to-work and something called “Clean Missouri.” Each topic commands attention. The latter will certainly require dedicated study. Clean Missouri proposes to: • Limit lobbyist gifts to lawmakers to $5 or less • Make legislators wait two years after leaving office before lobbying • Lower campaign limits to $2,000 for House candidates and $2,500 for Senate candidates • Make the state legislature follow the same open records laws as other government bodies in Missouri • Create the post of “non-partisan state demographer” to redraw district maps for legislative approval I suggest you pay attention to State Sen. Rob Schaaf of St. Joseph. He’s gone on record as a vocal advocate of lobbying reform and endorses the initiative. Schaaf even chastises his colleagues for whiffing on opportunities to address these concerns within the legislature. That’s refreshing. People versed in such matters say that one measure of any

legislature is the need for citizen petitions. We elect people to represent us. When they repeatedly fail to do so, the last (and expensive) resort is to initiate change by citizen petition. The sheer number of constitutional amendments now being confirmed is an indicator that, overall, our legislature could be doing a better job on our behalf.

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Activists launched the Clean Missouri campaign after the 2016 general election. The main motivation was to overhaul the way Missouri draws its legislative districts. Interest in this topic will once again become acute following the 2020 Census. The way our state government interfaces with us is directly related to the way legislative districts are drawn. Are you tired of legislative gridlock? Do you wish our elected officials would work together better? If so, then let’s get focused now on our homework rather than waiting until a few hours before election day. The way Missouri currently draws its districts creates districts that lean heavily one way or another. A district drawn up to be, say, 70% Republican or 70% Democrat may help a candidate get elected, but it’s counterproductive to governing. Once elected, that official naturally caters to the 70% that will likely get him or her re-elected. So they’re less responsive to the 30% — and thus, in a practical sense, there’s little to be gained in achieving a voting record of responsible compromise. On the other hand, Clean Missouri’s proposal would turn over the process of drawing House and Senate districts to a nonpartisan expert. Changes would be reviewed by a citizen commission to ensure competitiveness, and an independent demographer would help create the maps.

That might work, I suppose. Sounds good. But I really haven’t thought much about it, have you? I’m not trying to argue. I want to understand. And I’ll be looking for more information on how the Clean Missouri initiative is financed. That’s at least one thing the Gov. Greitens fiasco has taught; we should “follow the money” and look deeper than just accepting a cozy misnomer, like Missouri First. For instance, I read where liberal billionaire George Soros (whose lobbying arm, the Open Society Policy Center) has donated big to the Clean Missouri campaign. Strange, isn’t it? That reads like Big Money is backing an initiative to whittle down big money’s political clout (...?). The state’s ethics commission has already reported more than $2 million has been raised for Clean Missouri. And so on. Like I said, to vote intelligently this coming fall on the various constitutional amendments is going to require some effort. I hope at least some of this interests you. After all, we actually do get the representation we deserve: Apathetic is just one letter away from pathetic. It isn’t hard to understand why so many are totally disgusted and alienated about anything political, from the White House to Jefferson City ...even down to the local level. It’s no wonder why people simply prefer to disengage. Worries about our nation are bred in apathy. I worry that too many of us simply don’t care or deliberately choose to disengage on all levels of politics. Apathy. It’s the only way I can explain the lake road project, when a bid of $55,850 ballooned into a $220,117 bill without consequence. Or, how else can you consider the lackadaisical voter turnout of just 13% for the April elections in Daviess County? Or that there’s only one countywide race (the Republican ballot for Presiding Commissioner) in the upcoming August Primary and just one countywide race come November -- and that’s only if an Independent qualifies to be printed on the ballot?

Greetings from the Poosey. I think it was the only social studies assignment I ever flunked. At least I think I flunked it. I know I at least bombed it royally. The assignment was to find a relative who could tell me something about my family. I was in third grade and assumed since my grandpa was the oldest member of the family that he would be able to remember the most so I pedaled my bike down to his house after school, my Big Chief writing tablet and pencil in hand, plopped myself down in front of Grandpa’s recliner and started asking questions. Grandpa took a draw of his Prince Albert-filled pipe, said, “Well, let’s see...” And then he began. According to Grandpa, his side of the family was descended from German nobility and somewhere on the limbs of our family tree hung various princes, kings and potentates. I was amazed that Grandpa knew so much about the family, including the fact that we were descendants of Abraham Lincoln and there was a good chance that Moses himself lingered somewhere in our lineage. He went on to list various heroes of the Civil War, signers of the Declaration of Independence and then hinted that our clan would figure prominently in the Second Coming. Hey, a third grader will believe anything her grandfather tells her, okay? I sucked it up, swallowed it whole, and wrote it down. Then I said, “Grandpa ... what about Grandma’s side of the family?” Grandpa had the habit of swallowing hard then rolling his tongue around the inside of his cheeks before answering really pithy questions and on that autumn afternoon he did a good deal of swallowing and rolling before he began. “Your grandma’s side of the family didn’t turn out so well,” he said. I stopped my scribbling. Grandpa had that look on his face that hinted at something really terrible coming my way. “Most of her family are easy to trace,” he said, “since they keep pretty good records in prisons.” It was my turn to swallow hard. I’d known my dear sweet grandma ever since the day I was born. How could such a gentle soul be descended from scoundrels? He went on. “You’ll notice that Grandma doesn’t talk much about her relatives. Fact is, I don’t blame her. She’s spent a good deal of her life trying to cover up her family history.” As the room began to fill with a pipe tobacco cloud he went on to tell me the stories of Grandma’s sordid lineage going all the way back to Jesse James, John Wilkes Booth, and Attila the Hun. I asked him to stop for a moment as my number two pencil had by this time worn itself down to stub and was in need of sharpening, a job that Grandpa quickly dispatched with his pocketknife. I left his house that day with a notebook full of stories and a head full of wonder and couldn’t wait to get home and put the tale of our two families into essay form. There was no doubt that no other third grader was going to show up the next morning with a treasure trove of family history like mine. Social studies came right before lunch and I completely forgot my hunger that morning as I waited my turn to read my family’s genealogy. I proudly proclaimed the glorious story of Grandpa’s heritage then held my third grade classmates spellbound as I told them the wretched tales of Grandma’s ancestry. I ended my grandmother’s tale by reciting Grandpa’s final summation of his wife’s family. “We can trace her family back to two bachelor brothers in Ireland who were hung for horse stealing so her family line ended right there.” I looked up from my essay and saw that the class was awestruck. I was the hero of the third grade. Then I turned to my teacher and proudly handed her my paper. Did I mention that my third grade teacher was also my mother, the daughter of my grandmother? I went home hungry that day since lunch hour found me in my mom’s car on the way to Grandpa’s house for a bit of clarification. I recently sent off a dab of my DNA to Ancestry.com to see where I came from. The results showed some English, a bit of German, and a touch of Irish. Boring, boring, boring. Forget about genetic testing, I’ll take the stories of a windy grandfather any day. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Impeachment update

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

I would like for this capital update to be about the dozens of bills that the House or Senate passed this past week. But I would be remiss if I did not update my constituents on the serious situation regarding our governor. Earlier this year, some disturbing revelations came to light in a House Investigative Committee report about an affair the governor had when he was a candidate that seemed to indicate some of his behavior was criminal. For one of the alleged actions, the governor has been indicted and will stand trial beginning May 14. Other actions revealed in the committee report might produce more indictments in the future. A second House Committee investigation has concluded that the governor may have also broken campaign finance laws while running for office, and filed fraudulent campaign finance reports with the Missouri Ethics Commission after becoming governor – two offenses which are also crimes. Based on the facts behind these disturbing indictments, 149 House and Senate members, both Republican and Democrat, have chosen to call a Special Session which will begin at the conclusion of regular session on May 18 to discuss whether or not to impeach Gov. Eric Greitens. To be clear, impeachment does not mean being ousted from office. An impeachment is like an indictment, but not a conviction. The articles of impeachment outline the reasons why the governor might be impeached. When the Special Session begins, the articles

Economic survey ● New Normal counties have experienced losses in both population and employment. Forty-one of the 55 counties are rural and only one is Metropolitan (St. Louis County). Daviess, Clinton, Grundy and Harrison belong to this group.

ommunity P lanning -- O ne of the more striking ndings from the survey was the degree to which respondents disagreed with the statement My community is doing just ne and doesn’t need to change.

Respondents from New Normal counties, like Daviess, had significantly larger proportions that expressed concerns about their communities: 85.8% disagreed with the statement that “My community is doing fine and doesn’t need to change.” Only 44.6% believe their community is forward looking. Only 25.3% believe they have a clear plan for the future. How welcoming and cohesive a community is can have a powerful influence on growth and development. Places that are welcoming and care about the quality of life for all residents will have an advantage over places that do not embrace these values. New Normal county respondents are consistently below other groups — 56.3% believed that new residents feel welcome, compared to the overall rate of 59.9%; and 65.7% indicate residents take pride in their communities, compared to 77.7% in resilient counties.

ffordable housing -- Affordable housing is an emerging issue in the state.

New Normal counties were significantly more likely to have concerns about housing. 49.4% of respondents from these counties thought affordable rental housing was a concern and 40.4% were concerned about affordable single family homes. The 10% gap in the perception of rental housing affordability illustrates the likely impact of economic hardship and low income profiles in New Normal counties.

eveloping Infrastructure -- Developing and maintaining infrastructure is one of the key responsibilities of local government.

Counties experiencing the greatest economic hardship were more likely to express a high level of concern about the capacity to afford infrastructure costs. In New Normal counties 66.7% were concerned about these costs.

of impeachment will be filed similar to a bill. Just like with a bill, the House will debate the articles, possibly amend them, and then vote on whether or not to pass them. Passage would mean impeachment. If that happens, the Senate would then choose seven judges from around the state to sit on a panel and hear the arguments for and against removing the governor from office. This proceeding would work much like a trial, where lawyers for the prosecution and the defense would try to make their case to the judges, and the governor would have the opportunity to refute the accusations against him. If five or more of the judges are convinced the governor behaved in a way that fits the impeachable offenses listed in our Missouri Constitution, then the governor is removed and Lieutenant Gov. Mike Parson would take over. If only four or fewer of the judges are convinced, Gov. Greitens would remain in power. The whole process would likely be concluded by summertime. The Speaker of the House said it best. No one in the legislature wanted to have to investigate the governor or any of the players in this drama working for or against him. But sometimes in life we have to do what we have to do, and the people of Missouri deserve to know what is really going on. Facts must be sorted from fiction, and the truth must come to light. So, it is the reluctant task and duty of the legislature to do just that. To learn more, read the committee’s reports complete with witness testimony which are now posted on House.Mo.Gov under Special Investigative Committee on Oversight.

Access to broadband internet services is a hot topic right now. It is critical to the local economy – businesses need it to handle transactions, schools need it to ensure student access to education opportunities, hospitals and doctors use it to provide access to healthcare. One of the most surprising findings in the survey was the relatively small proportion of respondents who thought access to broadband was a problem, only 41.7% expressed this as a concern. One explanation for the lower than expected level of concern are the characteristics of respondents. With a more

Dear Editor, I want to apologize to the citizens of Daviess County. I unintentionally missed a deadline to file a Personal Financial Disclosure form. My unintentional failure to do so, has caused my name to be removed from the ballot for the primary election in August. I would like to explain to you, the citizens, how this happened. The week I filed for Daviess County Clerk was the same week my mother passed. Please understand, this is not a good reason to miss such an important filing date, however it is a contributing factor. I made a mistake. This is a prime example as to why the office of County Clerk needs to work with and for the people, not against. In a sense, I am glad this has happened to me. Many of us are housewives, cashiers, waitresses, farmers, fathers, mothers, retired, etc. We are not paid to be on these boards. We are volunteers. We do not read the filing deadlines everyday. We are on township boards, school boards, fire protection district boards, village boards, etc. We need help in making these deadlines. We fill positions to help our neighbors and our community. When I asked Ms. Burton why a call was not made to me as a reminder of the filing deadline, Ms.

increased compared with only 58.6% in Metro Central counties where poverty rates are lowest. In the New Normal counties, only 13.2% thought living wage jobs were available, and only 23.4% thought the economy would improve in the next five years. Only 14.5% of New Normal county respondents think enough is being invested in business development and an equally small proportion (13.8%) think there are enough employment opportunities. Differences based on the economic performance of counties follows the trend in previous questions with New Normal county respondents less likely to believe the community supports local

Burton told me she was not required to do so by statute. This is my thought. The County Clerk should be here to help. The County Clerk is not required by statute to call the members of voluntary boards. She is not required to call villages, political subdivisions or cities to remind them to publicize their budgets or to just, help them through the process. A county clerk should work for and with the people, not against them. My intentions are to file as an independent in the general election in November. I plan to work for and with you, the citizens. We, the voters, need a choice for the office of county clerk. We need someone who is here to help. We need friendliness in the courthouse. We need a smiling face to welcome us. We need someone who is willing to work with the other office holders, volunteers of the boards they serve, and voters. My hope is that you consider me as your county clerk in the November election. No matter who you choose to vote for, please exercise your right to vote. Many have lost so much so that we have this right. Thank you for your time and God Bless!!!!! Teresa Eaton, Gallatin

ealth Care -- Missouri gets relatively low scores on many state rankings of health and health care systems. The tate ranked 0th in the nited Health Foundation America’s Health Rankings 2017.

When responses are compared based on economic indicators, the respondents from New Normal counties were less likely to think health care services are available (77.9%) and also believed that there are fewer health care professionals available than are needed (58.5%). When counties are compared based on economic indicators there are few differences in response to the question about prescription services. New Normal counties were more likely to think access to mental health and substance abuse resources were missing with 37.3% noting mental health services were not available and 36.9% for substance abuse programs. There was widespread agreement that senior services, housing and residential care facilities are available. 72.1% of respondents agreed there is access to senior centers and services. An even larger 74.3% indicated there were senior housing and residential care facilities.

highly educated, slightly older, respondent pool it was surmised that many are able, personally or professionally, to broadband and have the personal resources to pay higher fees for access.

eadership -- Recruiting leaders is a problem in many communities.

Although rural respondents were similar to the total on the question of opportunity (60.5%) they had a higher level of concern about the willingness of people to volunteer and lead (69.1%). In New Normal counties, 51.1% of respondents approved of elected officials performance.

he Economy -- Ensuring a stable and resilient local economy is the goal for most communities. The impact of the Great Recession left many communities and counties struggling to return to their perceived normal.

Rural Missouri has higher poverty rates and lower incomes than the rest of the State and respondents from those counties recognize that reality. 72.8% of rural respondents thought poverty had

business, the same was true for downtown maintenance. Only 57.2% of respondents from New Normal counties thought the community supported local businesses and 52.5% of New Normal respondents think downtowns were well-maintained.

orkforce -- orkforce quality is a top tier issue in economic development. The availability of a ready to work labor force with the right skills will often determine winners and losers as businesses make location and expansion decisions.

The survey included two questions addressing workforce issues. The first asked respondents to assess whether workforce skills match local employer needs. The second question asked about the availability of workforce training programs. In New Normal counties 30.6% of respondents agreed that workforce skills matched employer needs. For the question concerned with access to training, New Normal counties had 24.5% agreeing with the statement that training is available.

omments -- Responses to the question if you could wave a magic wand to change just one thing in your community, what would it be ’ were diverse and often addressed speci c issues relevant to the place of residence but fell into four major themes. The economy dominated these comments with 7% of all respondents wishing there were more jobs and economic opportunity for residents.

Nearly one-fourth of comments addressed needed improvements in community facilities, infrastructure and services. These comments addressed topics like housing, condition of roads, internet access, appearance of the downtown and services like fire and police protection. Concern about the impact of illegal drugs was the third most frequently mentioned change with 7% of comments mentioning this topic. A nearly equal proportion of comments were concerned with improving community leadership and attitude. Many of these comments addressed issues like community pride, the desire for more progressive and forward looking attitudes, and improving the quality of leaders. Editor’s note: This statewide survey was designed and conducted by Missouri Rural Development Partners in partnership with niversity of Missouri Division of Applied ocial ciences, niversity of Missouri Extension, and the Missouri Department of Economic Development, Office of Rural Development.

Daviess Genealogical Society awards scholarship, encourages membership The Daviess County Genealogical Society presented a $500 scholarship to Gallatin senior Caitlin Heckenbach recently. Last fall the organization voted to offer the scholarship to one county senior who was interested in history. History departments of each county school were asked to select a student to enter an application for the award. The Daviess County Genealogical Society was organized June 24, 2005, with three local members in attendance. The main objective at that time was to take pictures of cemeteries in the county, record the photos on compact discs (CD), and make those CDs available to others. The society’s research room is now upstairs in the Daviess County Squirrel Cage Jail in Gallatin. Along with the CDs, the collection includes donated doc-

A peaceful place.....at Pilot Grove #2 By Joan Zimmerman Among the many cemeteries gracing rural Missouri is Pilot Grove #2 located several miles northwest of Jamesport, surrounded by a grove of old oak trees to the west and rolling pastureland to the north and east. Strolling among headstones dating back to 1918, the serenity of this place makes one want to linger, and if you’re lucky, you may even see deer grazing or hear the “bob white” of quail to the north. Pilot Grove #2 and the original Pilot Grove cemetery, Pilot Grove #1, have been extremely important to the area. Both cemeteries continued the names of the Baptist churches that stood with them but are now long gone. Pilot Grove Baptist Church and its cemetery (now Pilot Grove #1) dates back to 1845 and grew tremendously when the war between the states was over. Families came to Missouri where there was new land and opportunities. In 1886, a group of 37 members from Pilot Grove decided to organize and build a new church about two miles south on land donated by George Bear. It was named Pilot Grove #2, and in 1916, the land north of Pilot Grove #2 was purchased from W.S. and Joanna Croy for the cemetery where many of the church members are now buried. Several years back, a shelter was erected where Pilot Grove #2 church stood. It provides a restful place to sit and a large

granite tablet that tells the complete story of both churches. Today, both cemeteries are under the care of a board of trustees to make sure the cemeteries are maintained and continue for future generations. A half acre was just purchased which extends Pilot Grove #2 to the north providing approximately 30 more burial plots. Unlike big city cemeteries that are funded through expensive grave plots, funeral packages, and healthy endowments, most rural cemeteries rely on donations and the occasional endowment to cover the expense of mowing, fertilizing, upkeep of fencing, and the procurement of more land as the need grows. The board is always delighted to welcome new members and grateful to receive contributions, particularly from families who have loved ones buried there. Should you wish to become involved, make a contribution, or purchase a plot, please contact Pam Howard at 512 S. Willow St, Gallatin, MO 64640.

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that turkey hunters checked 371 birds in Daviess County during Missouri’s 2018 regular spring turkey season, April 16 through May 6. Daviess hunters took 294 adult gobblers; 74 juvenile gobblers; and three bearded hens. Across the state, 34,055 birds were harvested. Top harvest counties were Franklin with 760 birds checked, Texas with 732, and Laclede with 657. Young turkey hunters harvested 1,729 birds during the 2018 spring youth season, April 7-8, bringing the overall 2018 spring turkey harvest to 35,784. This year’s harvest total is down 17% from last year’s overall spring turkey harvest of 43,339 birds. MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle indicates that a drop in harvest was not unexpected given the poor production in recent years. “We’ve had very poor production the last two years,” said Isabelle. “This resulted in fewer two-year-old gobblers and a lot fewer jakes this year.” He noted that it is common for jakes to make up over a quarter of the spring harvest following years of good production. The last two years, however, jakes have made up just 13% and 15% of the harvest. “Low numbers of jakes in the spring harvest the past couple years just confirms what we learned from our summer brood survey; we’ve dealt with some very poor hatches in recent years,” said Isabelle. In addition to poor production, Isabelle added that less than ideal conditions during the youth season and opening day of the regular season impacted this year’s harvest as well. “Winter-like conditions made for a tough start to the season,” he said. In addition to its effect on hunting, Isabelle notes that the late spring also impacted the timing of turkey flock break-up and nesting this year. The 2018 spring turkey season had two non-fatal hunting incidents. One turkey hunter mistook another hunter for a turkey and another hunter accidently discharged a round into his foot.

Discussion was held, and it was determined to add this to the duties of the custodian.

Discussion was held, and it was determined it is not possible at this time. The commission received a letter from Becky Simpson, University of Missouri Extension, stating the Daviess County Junior Livestock Show Committee requested a donation of $25.50 from the commission. It is the policy of the commissioners not to support monetarily any one organization; they choose to make personal donations only. The request was denied. Ronetta Burton, county clerk, submitted notice to the commission of a candidate issue for the August election. After lunch, the commissioners toured roads, bridges and culverts in Marion Township. The meeting adjourned at 4:40 p.m. The above information is taken from the minutes of the May 2, 2018, meeting of the Daviess County Commission. David Cox, first district commissioner, called the meeting to order. Wayne Uthe, second district commissioner, was present. Randy Sims, presiding commissioner, was absent.

Investigating officers received word at 11:36 p.m. that the driver was at the Harrison County Community Hospital. The property owner advised that Bradshaw had backed into a parked vehicle at his residence on the evening of April 30, then left the scene traveling South on 220th Street.

Betty June Gardner Carroll, the youngest of two children of Russell Buck and Flossie Adcock Gardner, was born in a small farmhouse west of Pattonsburg on June 15, 1929. Betty attended the Coffey school all 12 years of her education. She en oyed the school plays and sports. She loved volleyball, and by all accounts was fairly talented at it. By her words, she loved playing sports and the attention of the boys. Following her graduation from Coffey High School in the spring of 1947 she remained at home helping her mom, gardening, canning, and watching her older sister s children, Cathy and Tony. Jill was born about this time, too. She said she always felt close to these kids, perhaps because she had so much invested in their upbringing. In the spring of 1948, J.W. proposed to her. She didn t immediately say yes. Betty never rushed into a decision, whether it was selecting a pair of shoes or choosing her lifelong soul mate; she was going to thoroughly think it through. Realizing what a good man he was and how much she cared for him, she accepted his proposal and they were married on Dec. 1, 1948. To this union they were blessed with three children. Betty was a homemaker and helped her husband in their business, the Home Produce store, which she said was named appropriately to provide an income for their home. She loved being a wife, mother, and homemaker. Illness in her husband s life forced her to find employment outside the home. She went to work at Places Store in Bethany. She worked at Places, which later became Pamida, for 35 more years, retiring in 2008. She loved being around people and visiting as they came through the store. She worked well beyond her need, but ust loved seeing people and connecting. Many who came through the store, whether as a vendor or a patron, remember Betty as an icon at that store. Betty accepted Jesus as her savior as a young girl, and in spite of her immense fear of water, oined him in the waters of baptism. She was a member of the Coffey Christian Church and later the Highway New Testament Christian Church. She loved music, even though she played no instrument. However, if there was a singing group involved she was going to be there. Her childhood love of sports carried over into watching her grandkids. She would set at a football game and know absolutely nothing about the game, but if someone cheered she would too. Whether bundled up at a football game or listening to a high school band concert she made every effort to be there in support. She was her grandkids biggest fan in whatever they were involved in. Preceding her in death were her father, Russell H. Gardner in July 1969, her mother, Flossie Adcock Gardner in March 1991, a sister, Ma ine in May 1966, her husband, J.W. Carroll in April 1991, and a granddaughter, Crysania Wheeler in January 2007. In passing, she leaves a daughter Marcella and son-in-law Richard Summers of Sedalia; two sons, Paul and his wife Della of Gallatin, and Phillip and his wife Angela of Lamar; 13 grandchildren, Shawn, Richelle, Daniel, Jennifer, Megan, uentin, Jason, Tifny, Jolene, Lea Ann, Mar uis, Joshua, and Abbey; 30 great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, and several others whom she loved.

A ltamont U nited Meth odist Sunday was a beautiful day with the fragrance of lilac flowers blooming. Special songs were “This is the Day that the Lord Hath Made” and “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” Sunday School lesson focus was giving from a generous heart. God loves a person who gives cheerfully to His work, from II Corinthians 9:608. We received an invitation to attend a gospel music program at the Kidder Park on May 19 at 6:30 p.m. We thank many friends, family and relatives who donated money to our church in memory of Charles Allen. Altamont Alumni Banquet is May 12 at 7 at the fire station.

Because of poor attendance and participation we may have to disband this great tradition of 97 years. Come and enjoy Mother’s Day with us for worship, gifts and refreshments. Senior graduates will be recognized. G allatin F irst Ch ristian First Christian Church began the 8:20 a.m. worship service with the praise team leading the congregation in song. Kathy Burns gave announcements and led the opening prayer at both services. Pastor Ryan Beenken preached from Acts 9:1-16, “Miracles~The Miracle of a Transformed Life.” FCC recognized our high school graduates during worship. Kim Ness led the congregation in song at the

10:50 a.m. service. The link to the recording of Sunday’s sermon can be found at http://www.gallatinmofcc. org/ or on our Facebook page. Prayer concerns this week are for Ruby Teel, Andrew Adkison, Ashley (Eaton) Lamm, Mayme Abbott, Kenneth Houghton, and Cathy Burke Boyles. G allatin F irst Bap tist Welcome and announcements were presented by Wood Marshall. Rick Willett led prayer time and read scripture. Debbie Heldenbrand and Julie Willett provided the special music. Scott Earnst presented the morning message. Bro. Garrett led evening Bible Study, and Celebration of Life was held after evening worship.

Tick season is here ... and they’re thick

Tick season is here and milder winters and warm spring temperatures could result in a higher numbers of ticks and tick-borne disease. National numbers recently released May 1 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that cases of diseases transmitted by ticks doubled from 2004 – 2016. In addition, new disease-causing agents that can be transmitted by ticks have been discovered in the past few years. Missouri is home to large numbers of ticks, which means that tick-borne diseases can pose a risk to persons who work or play outdoors. “As with the flu, we stated in October it looked like it might be a difficult year with high rates of flu and potentially severe strains and encouraged everyone to get a flu shot. Unfortunately, we did experience a very tough flu season,” said Dr. Randall Williams, DHSS Director. “Based on last week’s CDC report, we are again reminding every one of the potential of tick-borne illness in Missouri and encouraging you to take simple precautions to lower your risk of tick bites and tick-borne illness.” At least six different types of tick-borne diseases have been reported in Missouri residents, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, Lyme or Lyme-like disease, and disease caused by Heartland and Bourbon viruses. The majority of these cases occur in May, S June and July.

AULT

Symptoms of these diseases typically begin within two weeks of a bite by an infected tick and for most people include a sudden fever, body aches and headache. “As I often told patients, if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms in the summer when it is not flu season, you should talk with your doctor about the possibility of tick-borne illness,” continued Dr. Williams. Another possible sign of tick-borne disease is fever and a pus-filled wound that appears at the site of a tick bite, or a spreading rash that follows a tick bite or exposure to tick habitat. Not all ticks transmit these infections, and not all tick bites lead to illness. The majority of Missouri’s tickborne illnesses can be successfully treated if they are caught early, but sometimes they are deadly. As DHSS stated in April, everyone can safely enjoy the outdoors, whether at home or traveling, by using some simple precautions to avoid tick bites. DHSS recommends the following precautions to prevent bites: • se an insect repellent with a minimum of 20% DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 on exposed skin and clothing. Choose a product that lasts several hours whenever you spend time outdoors. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age. •When possible, wear protective clothing (light colored, long sleeved shirts and pants) when outdoors to keep ticks off skin.

•Avoid tick infested areas including brushy areas, tall grasses, wood piles and leaf litter. When hiking, stay near the center of trails to avoid ticks. • educe 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. • eople with pets should talk with their veterinarian about use of tick prevention treatments. You should regularly check your pet for ticks. •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. If you find an attached tick, remove it promptly. The longer it is attached the greater the risk of infection. To remove ticks: • sing twee ers, 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. • o use alcohol, matches, liquid soap or petroleum jelly to remove a tick. • ash your hands and the bite site with soap and water after the tick is removed. Apply an antiseptic to the bite site. If symptoms occur following a tick bite, or even after exposure to a tick habitat, be sure to tell your health care provider.

Gallatin’s history-rich boys’ golf program is on the verge of even greater things as they prepare to head to Springfield for next week’s MSHSAA Class 1 Championship. Gallatin enters this year’s state tournament tied with Tipton for the most Class 1 state titles in Missouri High School history. The Bulldogs, who are two-time defending Class 1 champs, also took titles in 1999, 2000 and 2002. Tipton won four Class 1 championships in six years from 2003 to 2008 and also won Class 1 in 1997. Also in small school competition, Pembroke Hill owns five state titles but only one came in Class 1 competition. With a win next week, Gallatin would match Sacred Heart’s feat of three straight championships in Class 1 competition (2010-2012). The first order of business for the Bulldogs is getting off to a solid start next Monday at Rivercut Golf Course.

Patrick McNickle awarded ‘All In for CF’ scholarship

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) recently announced that Patrick McNickle of Gallatin has been awarded a $5,000 “All In for CF” scholarship to support his attendance at Truman State University. Vertex awarded 80 “All In for CF” scholarships totaling $400,000 to people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their immediate family members for the 2018-2019 academic year. “If anyone ever asked me how to come to terms with the disease, the first thing I would advise them to do is research some care tactics for cystic fibrosis,” said Patrick, 18, a senior at Gallatin R-5. “Then it’d be wise to become involved with awareness organizations, helping them to advocate and see updated facts.

On a near perfect day for golf, the Bulldogs cashed in on a sectional title Monday, beating district rival Mid-Buchanan, 328 to 343, at Mozingo Lake Golf Course in Maryville. Senior Jett Simmons captured his fourth sectional medalist honor on Monday with a one-

Part of Vertex’s 10-year, $500 million corporate giving commitment, the company has awarded 120 “All In for CF” Scholarships since initiating the program last year. Scholarship recipients were chosen by an independent committee of CF community members based on a submitted essay and an applicant’s demonstrated level of community involvement, financial need, and academic achievement. ***** “ W hen a dog bites a man that is not new s, but w hen a man bites a dog that is new s.” ~ John B.

election must be removed from the ballot. The PFD is required for political subdivisions with an annual operating budget over $1 million which have a conflict of interest ordinance on file with the MEC requiring candidates to file the PFD, either for the office sought or because the candidate had a business transaction with the county in excess of $500 in the preceding 12 months. This disclosure filing is also required by the Daviess County Code of Ethics. Thus, at the moment, current County Clerk Ronetta Burton appears to be unopposed in her bid for the office. Burton, a Republican, was appointed interim county clerk upon the resignation of Vicki Corwin in February. Ms. Burton was officially appointed as Daviess County Clerk by the governor on April 26. She had served as deputy county clerk for five years. An election race, however, may still develop if Ms. Eaton successfully complies with the necessary steps to be declared as an Independent candidate for the November General Election. There is only one other political race for a countywide office in Daviess County. This will be among Republicans voting in the August Primary. Seeking the office of Daviess County Presiding Commissioner are Melvin McFee of Weatherby

New Haven man’s arm saved by MU trauma team, surgeon As a passenger in a side-byside all-terrain vehicle (ATV), Jeff Bopp, 47, of New Haven, Missouri, was enjoying a ride on his father-in-law’s property on Sept. 2, 2017. That is, until the ride literally took a turn for the worse. “We were leading a group of about 10 ATVs down a wooded trail,” Bopp said. “When we got to the end, the person driving our vehicle turned the wheel very sharply, and I saw his foot mashed on the accelerator. I knew it wasn’t going to be good.” In the second or two before the vehicle flipped on its side, Bopp instinctively reached for the passenger-side grab bar. He missed. The vehicle slammed to the ground, landing on Bopp’s right arm. The immediate, crushing force destroyed his entire forearm from his wrist to within an inch of his elbow. Bopp was flown to University of Missouri Health Care’s Frank L. Mitchell Jr., MD, Trauma Center by the Staff for Life Helicopter Service. MU Health Care is the only health system in central Missouri to offer comprehensive, Level I trauma care. The trauma team cleaned and assessed the wound. Bopp and his wife, Angela, felt certain he would lose his arm because of the catastrophic damage. However, the trauma team contacted Jay Bridgeman, M.D., an orthopaedic surgeon at MU Health Care who specializes in microvascular surgery. Bridgeman also helps lead MU’s Limb Preservation Center. “Dr. Bridgeman was on vacation out of state at the time,” Bopp said. “He reviewed pictures and X-rays of my arm and recommended an attempt be made to save it. He then returned from vacation to help with the neces-

sary surgeries.” “To say that Mr. Bopp’s injury was severe would be an understatement,” Bridgeman said. “His right forearm essentially looked like a grenade had blown it apart. With so much damage, I knew that saving the limb would be difficult. However, we have a great limb preservation team and we all wanted to try for his sake.” Bopp would undergo 11 surgeries over the course of 30 days at MU Health Care to repair and reconstruct his arm. Both bones in his forearm -which had been snapped in two as compound fractures -- were repaired. Missing tissue was replaced by Bridgeman using microsurgical flap procedures. “In a flap procedure, we take tissue and vessels from one site — in this case, the back — and move it to the damaged area,” Bridgeman said. “Using a highpowered microscope, I connected the blood vessels of the flap tissue with the blood vessels in Mr. Bopp’s arm to restore blood supply. The transplanted tissue replaced what the accident destroyed and is now part of his arm.” Bopp has more procedures to undergo one to replace a missing piece of bone in his forearm and another to reattach tendons so that his hand will be functional. “Mr. Bopp is making a great recovery,” Bridgeman said. “Additional surgeries are needed to restore hand function. Successes like this are what drive our whole team. It’s why we do what we do.” “I am very grateful,” Bopp said. “I never would have imagined they could do what they did to let me keep my arm and hand. A few weeks ago, a home nurse from St. Louis was doing some

follow-up care with me. At one point he stood back and said, ‘you are a medical miracle!’ And he’s right. I had no idea a program like this existed right here in central Missouri. I am so glad I was taken to MU Health Care!”

Active Aging Resource Center

Library hosts read from start program On May 1, 2018, the Daviess County Library hosted an early literacy program in conjunction with the Missouri Humanities Council’s (MHC) Read From the Start initiative. MHC facilitator Beverly Hooker led a two-hour workshop in the library’s basement community room. Each attendee left with seven new books and a wealth of information. The program is designed to engage parents and caregivers on not only the importance of reading to children from birth onward, but also the various as-

pects of loving and appreciating books. This includes books from authors to illustrators to the material on which it is printed, the vocabulary, the size and style of the book and most of all the story or message inside. During the workshop, attendees read aloud to one another, discussed various books, and shared favorite titles and authors among the group. All who attended noted they enjoyed the program and hoped the library would be able to bring Beverly back for a future program.

Weatherization program lowers bills Did you know the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri offers home weatherization services across nine Missouri counties? The Missouri Department of Natural Resources responded to the energy crisis of the early 1970s by establishing the LowIncome Weatherization Assistance Program (LIWAP). The program is currently overseen by the Department of Economic Development and operated by Missouri’s Community Action Partnerships. The program provides cost-effective energyefficient home improvements to Missouri’s low income households, especially the elderly, children, those with physical disadvantages, and others hit hardest by high utility costs. The program aims to lower utility bills and improve comfort while ensuring health and safety. Weatherizing your home can help with minor household improvements and repairs, such as sealing around doors and windows to reduce air leaks, improving existing insulation, and installation of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Today,

weatherization is the nation’s largest residential energy efficiency program. Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri is currently seeking home owners and renters/landlords interested in participating in the Weatherization Program. All home owners or renters interested in applying to receive weatherization services for their home are invited to request an application by calling the Agency office at 855-290-8544 ext. 1064 or visiting www.capncm.org. Weatherization is a lengthy process, which will not be completed overnight. There is currently a waiting list for the program.
