DeKalb County Sheriff dies in crash DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark, 43, died June 3 from injuries sustained in a duty-related vehicle accident. Reports indicate that Clark was responding to aid a deputy when the crash occurred. According to the highway patrol, Sheriff Clark was southbound on Highway 33 in a 2019 Chevrolet pickup, crossing over eastbound Highway 36. A 2020 GMC SUV driven by Robert Carpenter, Diller, NB, was eastbound on Highway 36. Carpenter’s vehicle struck the passenger side of Clark’s vehicle. Both vehicles went off the south side of Highway 36, coming to rest on their wheels, facing southeast. Clark was pronounced deceased by Dr. Khang Le at Mosaic Hospital in St. Joseph. Carpenter received moderate injuries. Three passengers in his vehicle, Susan Carpenter, 70, Diller, NB, and Lexi Cary, 17, and Kaylee Carpenter, 17, both of Beatrice, NB, received minor
injuries. They were all wearing their seat belts. All were taken to Cameron Regional Medical Center. Ambulances responding to the accident were Cameron and DeKalb-Clinton. The accident was investigated Sgt. J.M. Cross, Major Crash Investigative Unit, and crash team members, Sgt. J.M. Toal, Sgt. G.D. Ward, Cpl. R.V. McCormick, assisted by Sgt. D.L.

Ashcroft Awards Technology Ladder Grant to Daviess County Library
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft announced Daviess County Library has been awarded a Technology Ladder Grant of $20,152. “Libraries are vital institutions, offering a wealth of resources and learning opportunities to their communities,” Ashcroft said. “Grants like these help ensure Missouri’s libraries can continue to provide quality programs and services to their patrons.” Technology Ladder Grants provide funding for eligible libraries to help them move up the technology ladder to a higher level of service by providing fi-
nancial assistance for technology hardware, software and website development. The Missouri State Library has approved a total of 169 grant applications in the 2020 fiscal year, totaling $1,454,754.50 in federal awards that the secretary’s office has distributed to libraries throughout Missouri. The grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Appointments can now be made online for events June 8-12 on the DHSS registration site, http://health.mo.gov/communitytest. Events scheduled from June 13-20 will continue to be added over the next few days. Those without access to online registration can call the Missouri COVID-19 hotline for registration assistance at 877-435-8411. The community sampling goal for May 25-June 7 was to have 9,600 people tested at events in 11 counties. As of June 3, 9,483 people had already been tested; 107 of these patients tested positive. CARES Act funding will be
used for community sampling. Some counties have also elected to provide community sampling using CARES Act funding received by their county. The community-based testing will be operated by the Department of Health and Senior Services and Missouri National Guard in coordination with the hosting local public health agencies. Those who would like to be tested can register for the site nearest them at health.mo.gov/ communitytest. More information can be found at health.mo.gov/coronavirus.
Community COVID-19 testing events continue throughout Missouri
Several counties throughout Missouri have already participated in community sampling efforts in order for public health officials to learn more about the prevalence of COVID-19 transmission. Testing goals for events thus far have been exceeded, and the State of Missouri is continuing these efforts through June. Beginning on June 8, the goal is to test 10,900 people over a twoweek period at events being held in 21 counties. Community sampling gives the state a better sense of COVID-19 prevalence in a given area, which will help guide its response and
ease uncertainty for Missourians. If prevalence is low, this will help reassure citizens that it is safe to begin re-engaging in the community and returning to somewhat normal operations. If prevalence is higher, quick, and proactive steps will be taken to keep the virus from spreading further in the community. Any Missouri residents who wish to be tested with a nasal swab to see if they have an active COVID-19 infection can do so at the specified sites in each region at no cost to the individual. Missouri residency is the only requirement; individuals do not
Vehicle overturns multiple times at end of chase on I-35
An Independence man, Levi D. Williams, 27, fled from the highway patrol on June 1 at speeds up to 100 mph on I-35. Williams was injured when he was ejected from the vehicle after it overturned multiple times at the end of the chase. According to the probable cause statement, Cpl. S. Cool was notified of a light blue sedan traveling at excessive speed and all over the roadway on northbound I-35 at 3:44 p.m. June 1. Cpl. Cool observed the subject’s vehicle on northbound I-35, clocked at a speed of 96 miles per hour, as he was patrolling on southbound I-35. Cpl. Cool crossed the median and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Williams’ vehicle took the exit ramp at the 61-mile marker to U.S. 69 and then continued through the intersection without stopping, entering back onto northbound I-35 and accelerating to approximately 100 mph. Cpl. Cool pursued the vehicle northbound, observing that Williams was continually weaving onto the shoulder and across the center line. The trooper also observed Williams holding a cell
phone as though he were taking selfies or live streaming the pursuit. At the 67-mile marker the vehicle ran off the inside shoulder partially into the median, overcorrected, crossed the roadway and ran off the right shoulder pavement. The driver then overcorrected and the vehicle entered a broadside slide, tripped, and overturned multiple times. The vehicle rolled down the roadway’s embankment and came to rest at the bottom.

GTL cancels Children’s Theater Gallatin Theater League (GTL) has been bringing Missoula Children’s Theater (MCT) to Gallatin for eight years. After consulting with MCT about required guidelines and Centers for Disease Control recommendations, GTL decided to cancel the residency for this year. It was a difficult decision, but members did not feel it would be an enjoyable experience for the children with the restrictions in place. GTL looks forward to bringing MCT back to Gallatin in 2021.
have to live in the county in which they are tested, and they do not have to be experiencing symptoms. Location selection for this period of community sampling is based on inadequate testing according to the number of confirmed cases and the number of total tests conducted prior to these events. Counties hosting upcoming community testing events are Scott, Platte, Stoddard, Carter, Ripley, Cass, Franklin, Johnson, Pettis, Lafayette, Ray, Warren, Carroll, Chariton, Lincoln, Lewis, Moniteau, Pike, Scotland, Montgomery, and Osage.
Jamesport Event Center, town struggle to get back to normal by T.L. Huffman, Staff Writer To the Spillman Event Center in Jamesport social gatherings are everything. The Jamesport Community Association (JCA) holds its meeting there and the building is rented out for big events — weddings, reunions, anniversaries, MoDOT’s corporate meeting, Amish Organic Valley and seed meetings … just about any event that involves crowds of people gathering and interacting. Just what you don’t want during a pandemic. COVID-19 brought everything to a grinding halt. “The event center hasn’t been rented since this virus stuff started,” says Vicki Harding, treasurer

for JCA. “A wedding was rescheduled, a reunion was rescheduled, a bank event was canceled, the school alumni meeting was canceled, the fish fry was rescheduled twice.” JCA gets all of its funding from the rental of the Spillman Event Center and its own fundraisers held there, which includes a comedy show that was already canceled. “Lost revenue is being felt,” Harding says. However, the town’s annual fish fry was held June 5. The JCA checked with the health department and followed their recom-
mendations. “All the amenities” took on a whole new meaning during this fish fry. Once amenities meant additions like baked beans and cole slaw. Now amenities means implementing safety protocols, like gloves and masks and whatever other hygiene standards are required. They spread the tables apart and served people under the outdoor pavilion to allow for social distancing. They had bleachers and encouraged people to bring their own lawn chairs.

OPINION
June 10, 2020
Women’s Vote The wheels of progress move slowly. Racial tensions and violent demonstrations across this country in the wake of the death of George Floyd have dominated the news cycles this past week. This prompts all sorts of response. It is sad that 157 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, racial equality still seems so far away in so many respects. About 100 years ago the burning issue concerning inequality was universal suffrage. Like these times of COVID-19 stress, social tension erupted during a time of widespread heartache. The movement to win the vote for women, already in its vigor, was nearly toppled by a deadly Spanish Flu pandemic that walloped the country. It killed 675,000 Americans between January 1918 and December of 1920, according to historical accounts. Despite the unexpectedly fierce foe, a brave and resolute cadre of women secured the right to vote for their sisterhood. Congress passed the 19th Amendment on March 27, 1920, ratified it five months later and ended “… almost a century of protest.” But by Darryl Wilkinson like racism, true equality for women remains elusive as long as a woman, performing the same job as a man, receives on average only about 75% of the man’s wage. The wheels of progress move slowly. Maybe you failed to take notice that this year is the centennial of universal suffrage in America. Under ordinary circumstances the centennial of a major historical event is celebrated. But now, just as then, a pandemic has veiled what we normally would celebrate. Questions of women’s right to vote predates the Emancipation Proclamation. The bickering over equal rights began during the Revolutionary War. While many colonists concentrated on relief from British subjugation in the 1770s and 1780s, future First Lady, Abigail Adams, was also pondering another goal: how to include women in the political life of a brand new country. In a letter dated March 31, 1776, to her husband, John Adams, the prospective second President of the United States, she wrote: “In the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would Remember the Ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies, we are determined to foment a Rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.”
Off the Editor’s Spike...
‘Remember the Ladies’... [we] ‘will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.” …Abigail Adams, 1776 The wheels of progress turn slowly, but they do turn. Perhaps it is noteworthy that today many can hardly believe there was a time when women were not allowed to vote or handle business affairs. Much has changed, even as much remains to be changed if we are to share in a more perfect union. We should consider what each of us are doing – or not doing – if the wheels of progress turn too slowly.
What races? By Pastor Steve Ellison There is only one race of people: humans. The genetic difference between any two human beings is infinitesimally small. Reproduction occurs naturally across all ethnic groups. Skin color is a commonly used characteristic to claim differing races. Every human being’s skin color is the same, at least it is determined by the production of the same pigment by the same type of skin cells. The color difference is simply a matter of differing amounts of that pigment. No one should be surprised by these biological facts. Furthermore, no Bible student should be surprised by the fact that there is only one race of people. The Bible is clear. Every human being is created in the image of God. Every human being benefits from the common grace of God. Christ died for every human being to have an opportunity to believe. Every human being is descended from Adam. Every human being is also descended from Noah. The Old and New Testaments both declare that the God of the Bible is God over all humans. The dividing of people into ethnic groups is rooted in the sin of pride/rebellion of humans at the Tower of Babel incident. That sin continues to this day. This division did not have to result in racism, but it has. Since there is only one race, racism is not the proper term, but I will use it as it is commonly understood. Racism can be found in every group, divided along any line you care to divide along. Racism is wrong in every place and every time it is found. There is no call for it and God hates it. Racism is a tool of Satan. He convinces those who bear the image of God to despise, hate, and attack others who bear the image of God. Satan uses racism to get us to idolize self. Satan uses racism to get us to neglect our obligation and responsibility to take the gospel message to the nations (ethnic groups or language groups). However, since society normally
uses the term races instead, it is entirely appropriate to say that Satan uses racism to keep us from sharing the gospel with “the races”. I must be very careful that my words and actions do not drive ethnic groups away from me and God’s message. Christians will answer for this sin and neglect of sacred, blessed responsibility. Tragically, the witness of faithful Christians is negated by the racism of others who at least think they are Christians. Surely, God is grieved. God has given the solution to racism, in all its many forms. The Bible says to love God and love your neighbor. You cannot hate the one created in God’s image and love God also. The Bible does not leave this in abstract terms. Concrete application in scripture abounds. Consider the hated Samaritan. Consider the commands to speak up for those who have no voice. Consider the commands to come to the aid of the weak and powerless. Consider Jesus, “With humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:3-8, NASU) Consider the interests of others. Romans 12:10 says to give preference to one another. Christ Jesus allowed hating men to do hateful, murderous things to Him. He also told us to expect similar treatment because of His name. Let us be careful that our sin is not the cause for that, but rather our allegiance to Christ. (You can email Pastor Ellison at pastorsteve8800@ gmail.com)
COVID-19: Comparing the Governor and President There are some interesting similarities between Missouri’s governor and the nation’s president in dealing with COVID-19. Their refusal to wear face masks is the most visible. Both Gov. Mike Parson and Pres. Donald Trump refuse to wear face masks at most public appearances. Asked why in early April, Parson suggested he was protected because of office restrictions. “We took every precaution here at the governor’s office. We’re limited to how many people that even come to the office. We know who comes in here every day.” But, the primary purpose of a nonby Phill medical face mask is not to protect the wearer, but rather to protect people Brooks around the person wearing the mask who might, unknowingly, be infected with COVID-19. A day later, that point was made emotionally in the House chamber by Rep. Dave Beck when he noted the growing number of members without masks who risked returning to their district with COVID-19 infections from the statehouse. “It’s not about me getting sick. It’s not about you getting sick. We go to 163 different places in this state and we bring this stuff back,” the St. Louis County Democrat said to his colleagues. Initially, the legislature had been disciplined to avoid person-to-person spread. Legislative leaders urged schools to stop bringing groups of students to the Capitol. The House even restricted the number of members who could be in the chamber at the same time. But when lawmakers returned after their extended break, the number of members wearing face masks declined at the same time Missouri’s infection rate was rising that first week. Eventually, despite sitting at desks just a couple of feet apart, a majority were not wearing masks. It was not a partisan issue. I saw increasing numbers of both Republicans and Democrats without masks in the chamber.

Jamespost Event Center (continued from page 1)
A successful fish fry will help carry the event center through the next couple of months. Each event carries to the next one. “We’ll recover, but it will be squeaky,” Harding says. She says the JCA has payments like everybody else … mortgage payments and utility payments, insurance, salary for the event coordinator, rental on a billboard, cost to mow the lawn and pay the exterminator. And like everywhere else, there’s nothing coming in. “The lost revenue is being felt,” she says. Wayne Scott is the president of the JCA and his wife Misty is the event coordinator for the Spillman Event Center. The Scotts say four prescheduled events were canceled and six were postponed to later in the year due to the pandemic. It’s impossible to say how many would have signed up during the two-month close-down, but the Spillman Event Center averages a couple of events a week. The May Day Festival will be held June 19-20, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. “There again, we don’t know what the turn out will be,” said
Scott. “We think it will be good because of the number of people that call and ask what’s going on and what’s open. We get calls from all over the United States.” The May Day Festival has about 75 vendors or so, at least 50 inside and about 25 outside. “It’s hard to cancel because that’s a lot of revenue,” Scott says. There’s a ripple effect to the event center’s loss of business. It funds the JCA and in turn the JCA is responsible for bringing people to town. Scott says any business beyond the city limits offers no direct revenue to the city as far as tax dollars. And the businesses downtown that do pay taxes cannot help but be under financial stress. Scott says he and his wife can understand what they’re going through. They had a business in Jamesport for six years and know how much tourism is relied upon. In April, the tourists come and keep coming through May, June, July and into late fall. Three festivals (May Days; Heritage Days; Christmas Festival) take up six days and bring 30,000 visitors to town, plus the Amish auctions in the summer and a quilt auction in the fall. “This year nobody knows
what the rest of the year will be like,” he says. “The whole town relies on JCA for the activities we promote and put on, the restaurants, hotels, downtown businesses and the city…it’s like one big wheel, take the cogs out of it and everybody kind of suffers.” He thinks that if everyone works together, they’ll all get through it. “We’re in it together and we’re here for each other. Hopefully people will start coming back to town. It may not be business as usual compared to a year ago … or it could mean business will be better. People may prefer rural to the big city. The tourists are what support the town.” Jamesport relies a great deal on tourists and tourists are more than welcome, except maybe during a pandemic when their presence is a catch-22. Do those at the event center worry about the spread of the infection from outsiders or guests? The answer is both yes and no. “It’s a hard question to answer,” says Harding, who acknowledges both the concern and the conflict. “JCA has a Facebook presence and you would not believe how many people from far away places ask if the Amish stores are open, if the res-
Standing with Our Allies By: State Sen. Dan Hegeman During the past legislative session, my colleagues and I passed legislation that I believe takes a firm stand against discrimination in public contracting. In my opinion, this legislation sends a strong message to one of our country’s greatest allies that we support them and are beside them every step of the way. Senate Bill 739 creates the “Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act.” This comes on the heels of the United States acting on decades of promises made to Israel and finally opening the U.S. embassy in Israel’s capital. Since 1948, I believe our nation has stood with Israel. Now, this legislation wants to make sure these are not empty words; rather, a path forward, together. The “Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act” prohibits public entities from entering into certain contracts with a company, unless the agreement includes written certification the company is not currently engaged in, nor would engage in, a boycott of goods or services from Israel, or any company, person or entity, doing business with or in Israel. Missouri has a long-standing partnership with Israel, and I believe this legislation will strengthen this alliance. I urge the governor to sign SB 739, a simple, commonsense approach to keeping a bond between our state and our strong ally not only in existence, but make it stronger and show the world we are serious about our commitment to our global partner. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor: I openly admit I am the black sheep in my Republican family and that’s alright. We grew up listening to and participating in political discussions at our dinner table. There have been some contentious moments over the years but we love each other and we are family. In today’s political climate, however, I no longer feel free to discuss politics with my brothers. I have always argued with my brother Frank, and on more than one occasion I have politely pointed out to him he is an idiot, while he is telling me he’s simply trying to educate me in the error of my ways. A couple of years ago I sent Frank a harmless cartoon about President Trump’s hair and I received a very angry e-mail in return. I replied I was sorry and would not bring up the President again. A while ago I became so annoyed with my brother Austin, when I was trying to convince him that Betsy DeVos was a bad choice for Secretary of Education, that I have not discussed politics with him since then. As for friends, I value my friends too much to even think about having a political discussion with them. Something I use to enjoy doing years ago. So how did we end up here? Has it become so engrained in us to disrespect “the other side” and anything they say that differs from our opinions, that we see it as personal attack? A simple example of this is, if you are wearing a mask during this pandemic you are a “liberal” or “a sheep following the fake news.” If you don’t wear a mask you are
The JCA fish fry went very well according to organizers. There was a good turnout; the drive through was busy most of the evening as well as the indoor serving line.
taurants are open. We average about 20 calls a day. A lot of people come from Kansas City just to go to the Amish grocery store. Jamesport is a good day trip destination for those who want to get out and get away. It’s peaceful. You can shop, have lunch.” Harding says that personally, she is not that concerned for herself about the virus. But there are others to worry about — and that’s the catch. “Fortunately, we’ve not had an outbreak in this region,” she says. “But with Kansas City and St. Joe being more of a hot spot for the virus, you have to wonder, why come into other communities, why not stay close to home?” With the lifting of the statewide stay-at-home order and implementation of the Show Me Strong Recovery Plan, things in Jamesport are opening up; things are coming back to life. “There have been more cars arriving over the last
week or so. Restaurants are back to dine-in seating with social distancing.” What will the “new normal” be for the Spillman Event Center and for Jamesport, a farming community with an Amish settlement and a little town full of antique stores, craft stores, and bulk food stores? “Jamesport is going to be okay,” Harding says. “We’ll have social distancing for a while. Maybe we’ll go faster than other, larger communities that have a lot of industry and factories.” Jamesport is a very giving community, says Harding and the Scotts. When it looked like there would not be enough money for the annual fireworks celebration, JCA put an article in the Jamesport paper asking the community what it wanted to do. The JCA received so many calls and donations, it now has its money. “Even though we have a population of only around 500, we’re a very close community,” she says. “We just need to ask for help and we have volunteers. Every time, this town comes through.”
Listen and learn from the heroes of D-Day
By Congressman Sam Graves
Seventy-six years ago, the Allied Expeditionary Force launched the largest seaborne invasion in the history of the world, embarking upon a great crusade to free millions of oppressed peoples. Through blood, sweat, toil, and tears, 156,000 young men fought inch-by-inch to secure a foothold for the Allied liberation of Western Europe. Thousands of these young heroes never lived to see the days end. They fought to protect and defend our freedom — freedom for themselves, for their families, for their loved ones, neighbors, and communities. They also fought to liberate millions of people they never met, in countries many of
them had never heard of and in places most would never return to. They fought for the freedoms we often take for granted. Like many in my generation, I’ve had the honor of listening to the stories of the heroes who fought to secure the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. That, sadly, is becoming less and less common. Today, fewer than 1,000 DDay veterans survive, and of the 16 million Americans that served during World War II, only half a million are still with us today. That number is shrinking every day. It’s a sad reality that some of these stories of incredible heroism on D-Day, the days that preceded it, and the days that followed have been lost to the
an “American who believes in the Constitution and freedom.” Really? I thought my wearing a mask was showing respect for the people around me and protecting them from the possibility I might expose them to COVID-19. There was a time in this great country when we would have been encouraged by our leaders to proudly wear a mask; it would be the American thing to do. Show your creative skills and personalize your mask, but wear it for the good of us all. D-Day was yesterday and I have been thinking about the sacrifices our families made for the good of us all. If asked to, they would have proudly worn their mask to protect their fellow Americans, never once thinking of it as violation of their personal freedom. So back to my question, how did we get here? This has been happening for some time now, this pulling away from people we ideologically differ with, instead of pulling together to share and expand our ideas. Thomas Jefferson said, “educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.” But I fear we have stopped trying to educate ourselves about the issues our country faces today and the political agendas of the individuals we elect to serve us. We rely instead on limited information and opinions from sources with a bias slant, and whether the individuals speaking are “red” or “blue.” It is our responsibility to ask questions and demand answers from our elected representatives. We need to make sure the information we receive isn’t slanted or un-
sands of time. There are men who endured unimaginable pain, suffering, and sacrifice to protect our freedom, men whose names and stories we will never know. In that reality lies a challenge for all of us — to listen, to learn, and to understand the stories of those that remain and those that are no longer with us. Each and every one of us should strive to learn of the incredible sacrifices made that day by our American soldiers, sailors, and airmen. We must learn their stories and their struggles and be reminded of what they fought so fiercely to protect. Freedom isn’t free and we all owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who have paid for it in blood, sweat, and tears.
true, designed to divide us from each other. We need to make sure we are not confusing opinions with facts. We will be participating in what may be the most important election in our life time. Shouldn’t that necessitate our taking the time to be sure we have facts to base our decisions on before we cast our vote? Contact your state and federal officials. Ask questions about decisions they have made on your behalf and how they plan to resolve the issues that are important to you. Hold them accountable if you disagree with something they voted for or against. I plan on telling all of my elected officials I expect to see them hold a Town Hall in my community. Not in St Joseph, Kansas City or someplace even further away. Our issues are unique to our rural area and our State and Federal representatives need to come to us to hear our concerns in person, so we can ask our questions and hear their answers. I urge you to do the same. Don’t know how to contact our Senators and Representatives? Most weeks the editor of this paper thoughtfully provides all the information you need to contact our State or Federal officials, at the bottom of page two or three. Thank you, Darryl. And remember it’s your right and privilege to vote. Denise Caven Gallatin, Missouri

MO Department of Ag statement on Dicamba, calls on EPA & USDA Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn and the Missouri Department of Agriculture issued the following statement related to the recent court decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California: “The dicamba herbicide brands XtendiMax, Engenia and FeXapan are still registered for sale and use within the state of Missouri and will be treated as such until further guidance is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This interpretation may be updated at any time due to further enforcement guidance from EPA. Our team has worked over the last 36 hours in communication with EPA to request further legal clarification on what the court’s decision means for our state. That communication includes a written inquiry to the EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs asking if an immediate implementation of the Existing Stocks Policy within their typical Cancellation Order process would allow farmers to use the technology they’ve
City of Pattonsburg rejects lease offer, gets new time clock The Pattonsburg City Council decided during their meeting on May 11 to tell Black Dot, a technology company/lease management service, that the City is not interested in their lease purchase offer. The lease was for the water tower in the new town, located at Hwy. C and 2nd Avenue. The board would like to get more information on a credit card reader. Members agreed to get a new time clock. Uniforms for Cooper Teel will be provided through Cintas. Monthly reports were approved, and bills paid. Next meeting was set for June 15. The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the City of Pattonsburg held May 11. Those in attendance were Mayor Edmon Howard; board members: Lonnie Luke, Kelly Hughes, Dustin Sperry, Sandra Woodring; employees: Water Superintendent Adam Albert; City Clerk Karen Shepherd.
already invested in. We see this as a reasonable resolution to the current legal uncertainty and the most practical way to legally dispose of the pesticide. To that end, the Department will use enforcement discretion and will not issue enforcement actions for the sale and use of these three products at this time; however, the Department will continue to investigate complaints of off-target movement. “Our team acknowledges the precarious position the court’s decision puts farmers, agriculture retailers and academia in. For the last three years, Missouri farmers specifically have dealt with historic drought, flooding, trade uncertainty and now market volatility due to COVID-19. An overnight decision making this tool illegal is not something that should be done mid-growing season. We call on the EPA to work with the United States Department of Agriculture due to their coordinating biotechnology role.” For more information about the Missouri Department of Agriculture and its programs, visit the Department online at agriculture.mo.gov.

Brammer wins Teach Ag contest Breanne Brammer is the state winner for the Missouri Teach Ag Lesson Plan Contest. Brammer designed a unique lesson as a part of the yearly competition which is held during National Teach Ag Day. The goal of the Teach Ag Lesson Plan Contest is for teachers to design creative lessons that educate students about the need for agriculture education teachers and the career opportunities in agriculture education. There is currently a national shortage of agriculture education teachers. Brammer’s lesson was titled “Linked in to Teach Ag Ed” and can be accessed on www.moteachag.org. The lesson can be used as a resource for other agriculture teachers. She was awarded $300 which she plans to use in her classroom. According to the National Teach Ag Campaign, “National Teach Ag Day is designed to encourage others to teach schoolbased agriculture and recognize the important role that agriculture teachers play in our schools and communities. National Teach Ag Day is a part of the National Teach Ag Campaign, an initiative of the National Council for Agricultural Education, led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators. The ninth annual National Teach Ag Day celebration will take place on Thursday, September 17, 2020.” Brammer is a fourth-year agriculture education teacher at Salisbury High School where she has been employed since graduation from the University of Missouri. In college, she was selected as a National Teach Ag Ambassador through the National Teach Ag Campaign. The Teach Ag Day lesson plan contest is sponsored by the Missouri Retired Ag Teachers Association. Breanne, a Gallatin High School graduate, is the daughter of Dennis and Kim Brammer of Gallatin.

Phil Clevenger reported on sewer maintenance during the meeting of the Village of Winston held May 11. There have been multiple issues with the pump on Second Street. Even after being replaced, the pumps are not alternating back and forth like they should be. The pump on Hwy. Y does not have a disconnect; he is working on getting that taken care of. The pump on the west end of town has no concerns. The pump on Hwy. 6 is working but not alternating. Neal Slaughter, a trustee, requested that the city start keeping record of what is being spent on each pump individually. Clevenger put locks on each pump with a universal key and brought the city two keys. In other business on the agenda, a motion carried to spend up to $3,000 on gravel for the streets. Two bids were received for mowing the park. Andy Campbell was hired to mow no more than once a week for $40 each time. He was offered $30 a month to spray for weeds and clean up around the four pump stations. An ordinance carried to have a street/alley closed after the proposal received a third reading.

Water Operator Steve Henderson reported to the City of Coffey during their meeting on May 16 that daily water readings were lower. Some tree limbs in the park need trimmed and the streets need graded. He will try to determine where the tractor is losing water, so repairs can be made. The sump pump in the city hall basement was beyond repair, so Mayor Ray authorized a new one to be purchased. Hickman Environmental returned with the two malfunctioning sewer pumps but they determined one pump had been inadvertently wound backwards and had to be returned for repair. Henderson stated pump #4 floats are needing adjusted or a switch is needing replaced so pumps will automatically cycle. The board instructed him to notify customers not connected to city sewer to cap their line or get connected as required by ordinance.
Henderson reported the properties he checked had sewer clean outs. After discussion, area towns will be contacted for their sewer shutoff costs and procedures. The financial report was accepted, non-regular bills were approved, and regular bills were reviewed. Petty cash reimbursement was approved. (Motion carried 2-1; Griffin abstained.) The consensus of the board was for Mayor Ray to explore legal avenues to enforce property cleanup ordinances. Next regular meeting will be at 10 a.m. on June 20. The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the City of Coffey held May 16. Council members present were Mayor Ralph Ray, Beverly Hunter, Carolyn Griffin, and Frank Davis. Also present were City Clerk, Tammy de Jong and Water Operator, Steve Henderson.

Fourth of July downsized at Lake Viking Lake Viking’s traditional Fourth of July celebration has been influenced by the effects of COVID-19 this year. Organizers have canceled both the pancake breakfast and the bazaar, which were scheduled during the day on July 4. The fireworks will blast off on schedule at 9:30 p.m., but a smaller crowd is expected as no publicity about the event is be-
ing distributed. For those who attend, the Lake Viking board asks strict adherence to social distancing and CDC guidelines. Lake Viking has proudly provided a fireworks display for the entire area for many years and will continue that tradition in future years. The lake board asks your understanding for this year’s downsized event.
The third first round match in the North Missourian’s GHS Hoops Madness challenge for women saw the #3 seeded team from 1983-84 defeat the #6 seeded 2008-09 team.
“The 2008-09 team was good, but I believe the 83-84 team would have too much �irepower with Spillman, Beck, Wood, Tuttle and Deppen.” ~ Anonymous Comment
The 1983-84 squad, under head coach J. R. Collins, finished 24-4 and champions of the GRC (first time ever for the girls), Polo and Gilman City Tournaments. A victory over defending champion Stanberry in the final league game wrapped up a perfect 8-0 GRC run. Sally Spillman and Lori Beck were unanimous all-conference and they currently rank third and fourth, respectively, for Lady Bulldog single season points totals. Julie Wood and Dawn Tuttle were honorable mention GRC that season. The final first round matchup pits the #1 seeded team from 1995-96, coached by Rick Lin, against the Lin coached team from 2002-03. This matchup features the top two single season scorers in Roxi Davitt and Amy
SEASON PASS by Dennis Cox Woodruff. The 1995-96 team really had split seasons and maybe a charmed post season. Led by first team all-conference and all-staters Amy Woodruff and Cindy Critten, the team finished second in Class 1, despite posting only a 4-4 conference record. A late-season win streak of 9 games carried the club into the Final Four, where the Lady Bulldogs knocked off Norwood before falling to Drexel in the championship game. The 95-96 team finished 24-6 and won a district title in overtime over Gilman City when the Lady Hawks missed both ends of a free throw opportunity at the end of regulation play. Sara Strasser earned honorable mention all-conference and Coach Lin was named KMZU Radio Coach of the Year. Natalie Bird and Andi Wilkinson rounded out the starting lineup. The team featured a deep bench with Joanna Hemry, Kim Sweatman,

The 2002-03 squad, which finished 20-8, rang up a 4-3 conference record but knocked off the top 2 seeds (#1 Lathrop and #2 Hamilton) to win the Hamilton Tournament in January. Despite late season success on the court, a district title eluded the Lady Bulldogs at the hands of #4 state-ranked St. Joseph Christian in the district final. Roxi Davitt earned first team all-conference and all-district recognition. Kayli Burrell was a second team all-conference honoree and sister Kamille was named honorable mention. Other team members were Jamie Lunsford, Laura McCann, Katie Ward, Keira Story, Lindsey Robertson, Emily Gay, Kelsie Parker, Cassie Carder, Brittney Hixson, Taylor Henderson, Katie Jarboe, Trisha Sprague, Maria Burge, Kinsey Batson and Amanda Eaton. Online votes will be tabulated up to 5 p.m. next Tuesday and results will appear online in the next bracket offering and in the North Missourian.

Pool opening soon, police issue 18 summonses The City of Gallatin is hoping to open the Gallatin pool Thursday or Friday of this week. The following motions were made concerning the 2020 Pool Season during the meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen held June 8. The snack shack will be opened, private swimming lessons will be offered after hours, and swim parties will not be offered. The pool will have new hours. Session One will be from 9 a.m. to noon and Session Two will be from 2 to 5 p.m. The “clutches” protocol concerning COVID-19 will be followed. The term ‘clutch’ refers to a group of people that have arrived together at the same time. The list of preparations for the pool is from the Centers for Disease Control Guidelines and the municipal insurance pool (MIRMA) recommendations. These preparations are specific to the Gallatin pool. The pool is cleaned, filled, and waiting for the proper COVID sterilization. Turning to other items on the agenda, Administrator Rains and Public Works Director Mark Morey met with Missouri Rural Water Association (MRWA) and Allstate consultants regarding smoke testing to help reduce inflow and infiltration within the city’s sewer treatment plant. The City of Gallatin will be re-
quired to purchase the liquid smoke and MRWA will disperse the liquid smoke with a blower. The testing is set to begin Tuesday, July 14. MRWA and Allstate consultants also reviewed the aerator concerns at the water plant. They agreed raising the aerator will create more head pressure, but they didn’t believe it would solve all the problems with the sludge blanket. Administrator Rains hasn’t received a response from Snyder and Associates. Police Chief Mark Richards submitted an activity report dated June 8 for the board to review. The following were listed: three code issues; two peace disturbances; one suspicious person, circumstance; one juvenile problem; one welfare check; one traffic accident with damage; one traffic complaint; three trespassing; two domestic disturbances; one reckless endangerment; one animal control; one burglary; one parking problem; and one miscellaneous. There are four dogs in the pound. Eighteen city summonses were dropped off to the city prosecutor. Several of the code violations have been corrected. The outstanding violations currently are for high grass on properties. The Chevy Impala’s fuse box under the hood was replaced
a year ago and it has gone out again. The department is searching other options such as trying to find a used fuse box or replacing the vehicle all together. The vehicle is currently at Auto Advantage. Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that Suez has agreed to wash the outside of the water tower this year. The city is still waiting on USDA funding for the vacuum trailer. The board agreed to pay the rental fee for April and May to DitchWitch under these circumstances. The May transaction report was approved. Bills in the amount of $319,736.98 were approved for payment. The board reviewed the May 2020 Financial Review. Administrator Rains will have a meeting with Farmers’ Electric and legal counsels regarding establishing a franchise fee for customers within the city’s territorial agreement. Grundy Electric will begin installation of the overhead fiber lines in the coming weeks. There will be a Daviess County Fair this year, but there will be changes due to COVID-19 restrictions. The marijuana dispensary is moving forward. Administrator (continued on Page 10)

RECORD
Saber Road open to public; old road barricaded to prevent use The commission discussed progress on the Saber Road COMMISSION project. The relocated road is open to the public and will need some additional rock and maintenance as it settles with traffic use. The old road location will be barricaded to prevent it from continued use. As soon as the final bills are in, the county will submit them to SEMA for possible reimbursement through the 2019 Flood Disaster project. James Lewis, bridge supervisor, updated the commission by phone on ongoing work. James advised that they are working in Jackson Township pouring concrete for a bridge repair. They are also working in Harrison Township on a bridge on Yard Avenue. The brush mower is back to work mowing in Lincoln Township. Discussion was held regarding some road issues in Harrison Township. Jim Ruse and Wayne Uthe will contact the township. Discussion was held regarding the completion of the Jump Road bridge. The original completion date was set for June 1, 2020; however, weather issues have caused the bridge opening to be delayed. Jim Ruse spoke by phone with David Hausman, Howe & Co, who stated the public will be able to cross the new bridge beginning June 5, but the official engineering approval and signoff will be the following week, weather permitting. Daviess County is still waiting on SEMA/FEMA approval of this project from the April 2019 flood disaster. At last check, the project was in the “historical review” stage. Cheryl Alexander, Daviess County Health Director, called to advise the commission that there is only one active case of COVID-19 at this time, bringing the total to four. She reported that several schools had contacted her to discuss procedures for graduation ceremonies and for school opening this fall. She also advised that the Gallatin COUNTY
pool is planning to reopen with several precautions in place. Discussion was held regarding the need for testing, and what kind of testing needs to be done. Discussion was held regarding the CAFO hog operation planned for Colfax township. The commission is waiting to hear from landowner Matt Nalle regarding some construction issues with Waltz Avenue. The issue was continued until next week. Robert Mazur, 43rd Circuit Marshal, met with the commission to discuss the current Phase I restrictions, and what would or would not change when advancing to Phase II on June 18, if possible. Discussion was held regarding courthouse procedures for visitors to the recorder’s office, as well as current procedures for some of the other offices. The issue was continued until June 17. David Roll, Emergency Management Director, met with the commission to update them on the EMPG grant revisions. The grant period has now been extended from 12 months to 18 months with approximately $1,000 less in approved expenses. David also reported there will not be any SEMA conference this year due to COVID-19 concerns. David also reported he has been appointed to the Region H Mass Fatality Planning group. The group should have a written plan to incorporate into the Daviess County EOP within the next month. Ronetta Burton, county clerk, advised the commission she had received final audit documents for their approval for the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. David Cox made a motion to approve the 2017 and 2018 audit documents; Wayne Uthe seconded, and the motion passed, 3-0. Discussion was held regarding the 2020 Census. Only 52% of Daviess County residents have completed the census. That percentage is less than the Missouri statewide average of 60.5%. The commission would like to en-

Courthouse News in your personal property assessment sheet for 2020, please do so as soon as possible. Final valuations are due by June 15 so that they can be balanced before they are rolled up to the county clerk’s office. If you need to conduct business with the assessor’s office, please call the office. The staff will try and take care of you over the phone, or you can now e-file. The Vanguard software company was very gracious, because of the restrictions in place here, and set up e-file. You will need to call the office to get your account number and your pin number and then you can go online and fill out your assessment sheet and send it. It is very hard for the staff to take care of you at the door; it is much easier to ask questions and enter the information in the computer by phone conversation. So, please call the office. The assessor and her staff will do their very best to take care of you over the phone.

Gallatin City Minutes (continued from page 6) Rains received a request from the Department of Health for a copy of the signed ordinance. During public comment Jeff Foli led a discussion to encourage the Gallatin Board of Alderman to consider controlling the economic development of the area by offering at least one 10% tax abatement annually to companies or individuals of the Mormon faith who are moving into the area. Foli believes the abatement would spread by word of mouth and it would be greatly beneficial to the City of Gallatin. Franklin Archer stated his concerns about the potholes lo-
cated on West Grand, request of trees being trimmed, and the request for the City to help provide other alternatives for phone and internet. The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the City of Gallatin held on June 8, at city hall. Present: Mayor Barb Ballew, Board President Carol Walker, Aldermen Steve Evans, Dan Lockridge, Dan Mccann, City Administrator Lance Rains, City Clerk Hattie Rains, Police Chief Mark Richards, Jeff Foley, Franklin Archer, Jacob Wilson, Advanced Disposal.

Members serve three-year terms. In 2020, LAA-3 (Local Administrative Area-Two) is up for election in Daviess County, which consists of Marion, Jefferson, Liberty, Colfax, and Sheridan townships. If you know someone who would be a good county committee member, the nomination period will run from June 15 through August 1.

All nomination forms for the 2020 election must be postmarked or received in the service center by August 1, 2020.
