Victim of assault is left in roadway Two 20-year-old men are in custody for the assault and kidnapping of a confidential victim on June 8. Connor Monteer, Jamesport, and Caleb Kettner, Belton, were arrested June 9 and have each been charged with assault first degree, B felony, and kidnapping second degree, D felony. The assault occurred around 7:30 p.m. on June 8 near 320th Street and Major Avenue, Jamesport.
According to the probable cause statement prepared by Deputy Kyle Cornett, Kettner was concealed in the rear portion of a vehicle and his presence was unknown to the victim. Monteer was the driver of the vehicle. Kettner choked the victim from the back of the vehicle to the point where the victim lost consciousness. Monteer repeatedly struck the victim in the head and face area. The victim regained con-
sciousness as Kettner and Monteer dragged him from the vehicle. The two men continued to assault the victim until he lost consciousness again, and then they left him lying in the road. The victim was later transported to the hospital and admitted for injuries sustained during the incident. Monteer and Kettner are being held on $50,000 bond, cash only. They are being held in the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.
John and Marge’s Attic now open Kevin and Michelle Noel have opened John and Marge’s Attic at 801 Industrial Parkway in Gallatin. The store sells antique and vintage; planters and other garden items; home décor and glassware; stained windows; and much, much more. The Noels enjoyed collecting vintage and antiques and decided to become stewards and share their hobby-turned-business with others. Kevin is the son of Peggy and the late Elvin Noel. His parents own the clothing stores JP Fashions, Howard’s and Friends in Cameron, Trenton and Chillicothe. Michelle is the daughter of the late John and Marjorie (Franks) Smith, who ran Smith’s Grocery Store in Jameson in the 1940s. Her father was also a rural mail carrier in Jameson and Gallatin. Kevin and Michelle have three children and three grandchildren: Hannah Noel; Tom and Stacy (Carder) Brecht, who have one child, Bradley; and Ronnie Jr. and Carrie Heinse, who have two children, Annabelle and Owen.

personal$65,000, anguish. See page 3 Benefit auction describes raiseshisover including $21,000 to Backpack Buddies by Troy Lesan, Lake Viking
Over the years the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Auction has evolved into a semi-annual event of extraordinary significance. Thanks to the exhaustive efforts of many volunteers, the auction held June 8 at the Lake Viking Clubhouse builds on the tradition. Over 400 people attended. In 2017 over $50,000 was raised. But even as organizers are still counting proceeds, this year’s total revenue could exceed $65,000 -- a 30% increase over the record setting total of two years ago. One reason for this growing success was “Fund-a-Need” where any and all bids from the floor went directly to the Backpack Buddy program. In 2017 over $13,000 was raised for that category; this year that portion of the auction generated $21,000. The remainder of funds raised by the Mary Immaculate Auction will finance physical improvements to church property. This year’s donated money will be spent on a prayer garden and improvements to make the church more handicapped accessible. Some of the donated items for the silent and live auctions included rare sippin’ bourbon, Diamond Club seating at a KC Royals game, motor scooters, a Good One smoker, tickets to a USC Notre Dame football game, slabs of ribs, puppies, and so much more. The highlight of the evening is the live auction. That’s when auctioneer Mark Leggett takes over and works his magic.

Nominations to open soon for farmers’ 2019 FSA County Committee election
Michelle and Kevin Noel has a special place in Kevin and Michelle’s hearts. John and Marge are the parents of the business founder and owner, Michelle Noel. Her parents enjoyed refurbishing antique items, served as stewards in the community and were local business owners. So in their honor, John and Marge’s Attic was born. Michelle retired from employment in Kansas City. Both Kevin and Michelle will continue working in the family businesses while they also work at John and
Marge’s Attic. They wish to honor the family business which has been in the area for 80 years. “Our family business serves to glorify the Lord every day through its relationship with its customers, community and each other,” Kevin says. John and Marge’s Attic plans to hold a grand opening soon. The store is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The building formerly housed Noels’ Nursery. The family also plans to reopen the greenhouse.
The Farm Service Agency is unique in the fact that it runs on a farmer-elected county committee system. County committees are made up of farmers and ranchers elected by other producers in their communities to guide the delivery of farm programs at the local level. Committee members play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA. Committees meet once a month or as needed to make important decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms.
Fire destroys machinery barn at Honey Creek Ranch
Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to Honey Creek Ranch on Ridge Avenue for a shed fire at 7:25 p.m. June 5. Engine 101 and Tanker 103 responded with seven personnel. While responding, firefighters could see a thick column of black smoke in the vicinity.
Upon arrival firefighters found a 130x140 foot metal outbuilding fully involved with flames 30 feet high. Fire crews deployed two 1¾-inch attack hose lines for extinguishment. Mutual aid tankers were requested from Jameson Fire District, KAW Fire District, Lake Viking Fire, and Jamesport Fire Dis-
trict. A water shuttle operation was utilized to control the massive fire. Daviess County EMS and Daviess County Sheriff Deputies also responded. The building, owned by Steve McBee, was used to store farm machinery and equipment. It was completely destroyed and may have been started by lightning.
In 2019, LAA-2 (Local Administrative Area-Two) is up for election in Daviess County, which consists of Grand River, Union, Jackson, Monroe and Harrison townships. If you know someone who would be a good county committee member, the nomination period will run from June 14 through Aug. 1. The nominee must reside in one of those townships and participate in at least one FSA program. Larry Belshe currently represents this area of the county. All nomination forms for the 2019 election must be postmarked or received in the service center by Aug. 1, 2019. For more information on FSA county committee elections and appointments, refer to the FSA fact sheet: Eligibility to Vote and Hold Office as a COC Member available online at: www.fsa.usda.gov/ elections. USDA reopens Continuous CRP Signup The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and will offer extensions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs. This year’s signup will include such continuous practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. There are typically no entire field enrollments eligible under a continuous signup. These practices are designed for environmentally sensitive ground and target specific conservation goals. For ground to be enrolled in CRP it must have been planted to an annual crop for 4 out of 6 years between 2012 and 2017 and must be owned for one year prior to being offered into the program.

Slug Alert
The game suddenly stopped when one of my favorite 4-year-olds spied a bug. She stopped and screamed for her mommy while pointing to this little spec of nothing that was minding its own business. I get it, of course. Pests are …well, pests. Anyone who ever gardens grapples with the realities of pests. Most pests want to eat your garden before you get the chance to. They destroy the prettiness of plants, chewing holes in leaves and similar havoc. Pests are like a plague and a curse and, as such, are the inspiration for various monster cartoons, even movies. Ask any 4-year-old. What’s your particular pest of choice? There’s nothing quite like a June bug that unwittingly maneuvers past your windshield to ping hard and splatter on your forehead as you ride a motorcycle. Or it’s that rather large brown spider scramOff the Editor’s Spike... bling to safety while you’re walking barefoot to bed and, thus, creeping into your dreams ...or nightmares. You might feel overwhelmed when broadening your scope to larger pests, a wide variety of rodents ranging from mice or rats to bats. But, at least, you usually can figure out where these are by Darryl Wilkinson coming from. Consider the slimy slug. Sometimes after carefully nurturing a host of hostas to maturity you realize you’ve invited slugs into your world. Slugs treat hostas like a smorgasbord. Ever wonder where the first slug came from? Even if you don’t actually see them (or unexpectedly step on one), you can’t miss all those little slime trails leading across the sidewalk or driveway. Happy trails for a slug evidently is between the hostas and the dog’s feeding dish. I’ve read up on ways to remove these little invertebrates. In our society of choice, it’s small wonder that there are numerous commercial products bidding for your dollar. But, at least in some cases, these products could be harmful to pets and other animals. I don’t particularly like cats, for instance, but I’m after slugs. Smartypants strategically place a board (or some other flat object) on the ground overnight. Slugs supposedly crawl under the object for easy pickin’s the next morning. That involves touching them. Maybe you know some teenager looking for a summer job who’d like to play the role of Ghostbuster by reducing the amount of slime in your life for a small fee each trip. I don’t. Some “experts” advise putting down sharp groundcover to repel slugs – like crushed eggshells or dried thistle. I guess the idea is that slugs move so slowly they can’t move away from something sharp before puncturing themselves. Nobody argues that slugs are smart. Common sense, however, prevails. Slugs love beer almost as much as beer drinkers (I say almost because ask yourself: Have you Poosey Digest Favorites ever talked to an ineTimeless musings by Frieda Marie Crump briated slug?).

About Fast Track, ‘No Call’ lists by State Rep. J. Eggleston
Now that this year’s session is over, this is my third report to update you on how some of those bills turned out. In my Feb. 14 report, I discussed Fast Track. This is a needs-based scholarship targeting adults who are working toward a certification, undergraduate degree, or industryrecognized credential for a high demand occupation. To be eligioosey ble, a student must be at least 25 years of age, not have earned a bachelor’s degreefrom or higher, and Timeless musings have an adjusted Frieda Marie Crumpgross income of less than $40,000.

tee, it unfortunately did not get passed in the full Senate. Two other measures that also passed the House but did not pass the Senate. HB 762 would have established the “Missouri Municipal Government Expenditure Database,” which would allow the public free access to see how their city governments spend their tax dollars, bringing about a greater transparency of how taxpayer money is spent. HB 374 would have informed voters with more information about details of potential sales tax increases by showing the highest tax rate, lowest tax rate, and average tax rate in the ballot language so voters were informed and have perspective when they voted on potential local sales tax hikes.
Increasing funds for K-12, Higher Ed by State Sen. Dan Hegeman
As approved by the Missouri General Assembly in May, the state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year includes funding increases for both K-12 and higher education. I am proud of the Legislature’s ability to deliver greater educational resources for the people of Missouri. Education is one of the most important services a state government can provide. By sup-
Coffee Shop Talk with Daviess County FSA
Spring has officially sprung! Unfortunately, so has an overabundance of spring showers. Recorded rainfall for May at the Farm Service Agency (FSA) office was 10.06 inches compared to a normal 5.3 inches. We have definitely hit both ends of extreme from May 31, 2018, to May 31, 2019. In my June 2018 article, we were hurting for rain and more than seven inches below normal for the year. This June we are 6.04 inches above normal, way behind on planting and watching our neighbors with bottom ground struggle with flooding. With the wet spring, I know many of you are behind schedule on planting. Hopefully the weather straightens up and we can get finished in a timely fashion. When you do, remember to come and report those crops at your local FSA office! Don’t forget to bring your log book with planting dates. No appointment is needed when you visit the Daviess County office, but a heads-up phone call is appreciated so we can have your folders ready. The deadline to report crops is July 15. If you have prevent plant acres to report, the FSA deadline to report them is 15 calendar days after the final plant date. The final plant date for corn is May 25, allowing you until June 9 to report to FSA. Final plant date for soybeans and milo is June 20, allowing you until July 5 to report. If you do not report timely to FSA, you must show proof of a timely reported notice of loss to RMA. Producers without crop insurance must abide by the FSA
passed by the legislature as part of SB 68. This bill contained a few other economic and workforce development pieces, and was not without some controversy (one of those pieces was $50 million in tax credits for General Motors). GM was threatening to close a plant in Wentzville if they did not get the tax credits. Some legislators felt offering the credits was saving jobs, while others felt it was corporate welfare and an unfair break that other businesses don’t get. Ultimately, SB 68 passed 25-8 in the Senate and 92-51 in the House. In my March 4 report, I talked about HB 523, which would increase the penalties for those pesky telemarketers bothering folks on the No Call List. While that bill passed the House 152-1 and did pass a Senate commit-
porting our public schools, we are supporting the future of our state. The education portion of the state budget, contained in House Bills 2 and 3, fully funds the school foundation formula for the third year in a row. The foundation formula determines the amount of state aid that is delivered to each K-12 public school throughout the state. Funding the formula is always a prior-
ity of the General Assembly, and the health of our state economy has allowed us to fulfill this duty without raising taxes or sacrificing other areas of the budget. In addition to funding the foundation formula, the budget also grants an additional $10 million to school transportation. For the first time in many years, the budget also increases core funding for public colleges and universities.

A Father’s Day Pledge by Pastor Steve Ellison
difficulty is in getting people to agree on how to teach, train, encourage, or force that. As I see it, in my humble opinion, two things must happen. One, there must be a return to Biblical principles by fathers. Two, our government must stop encouraging, even rewarding, bad behavior. Those two ideas seem rather simple, and they are; however, upon further thought there are some complicating issues. There are difficult choices to be made in fulfilling each of those requirements. Many of our biological fathers are so young they have few life experiences and thus little wisdom. Something else that must be noted is the fact that this is not a problem new to this generation. A large number of these young biological fathers were not trained by their Worship at the Church of Your Choice: fathers either, so in addition to GALLATIN having limited experience, Church of Christ (108 E.

Few would dispute the fact that our families and thus our society are riddled with significant and deeply rooted problems. Few would dispute the idea that those problems are dangerous to the point of threatening the very existence of society as we know it. Few would dispute the importance of biological fathers being real fathers to our cultural survival. There is some difficulty in getting people to agree on what exactly being a “real” or “good” father is. Once some consensus is reached on that, the greater

‘Faith of our Fathers, Holy Faith...’ – Words by Frederick W. Faber (London: 1849); refrain by James G. Walton, 1874. This hymn was sung at the funeral of President Franklin Roosevelt, held in the White House in Washington, D.C. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen; For by it the people of old received their commendation.” Hebrews 11:1-2 (ESV) pointed out that evil behavior is evil. Otherwise no change in behavior will ever take place. However, we must keep in mind that the purpose is not to blame or destroy the father. The purpose is to create a better father. Criticism alone is not enough. We must walk beside fathers giving needed truth in love. Few of us are willing to give the truth they need along with the love to make it palatable. Most of us fall too far to one side or the other. We either criticize and blame without love, or we love without giving the truth they so desperately need. Yes, you are correct, that may very well cost you something and you will likely get dirty in the process. Let me point out that if this problem is not solved, it will still cost you something and you will still get dirty in the process. These fathers need training and it will not come through a government program; it will come one wise man teaching one foolish man at a time. What about meeting physical needs? That is surely a huge part of the problem. The government might be able to meet the physical needs of these neglected and abandoned families, but it can never do it without encouraging the very behaviors it wants to eliminate. It is easy to proclaim that consequences must be allowed to occur, otherwise the bad behavior will continue. However, in this case, the consequences fall not on the one engaged in the bad behavior but on innocent children. Who among us can stand to see innocent children neglected? Only local, voluntary benevolence has the ability to meet the needs without encouraging bad behavior. Surely that is costly financially to the locals (especially when the government is already taxing you into oblivion, but that is another story) but it is the only way. Similar to the training issue, many of us in benevolence ministry fall too far to one side or the other. We either meet the need without ever mentioning their behavior (can we call it sin?) or we are so critical and share their story with our “prayer ministry” (can we call it gossip?) that those being ministered to reject the truth without ever truly considering it. Please consider making a pledge this Father's Day. Why not commit to starting where you live, working to turn one biological father into a real father? If you need help, ask someone in your church.

Pleasing plant propagation, Part 1 By Tim Baker, MU Horticulture Specialist
Occasionally, someone calls me with a question about propagating a plant that they really like. Can they save seeds and plant them? Or, should they try cuttings or grafting? Some plants are easy to propagate, and may have several alternative methods. Some are more difficult, and may have an optimal way of propagation, with very specific steps. So in my next few columns, I thought I would introduce you to the world of plant propagation. Before I start, let me give one caution. Be sure that it is legal to propagate your plant before you try. Some plant cultivars are protected by patents, and propagating them, even for home use, is illegal. There are two basic ways that plants can be propagated: seeds and vegetative propagation. This week, I will cover seed propagation. In many ways, propagation by seeds is the easiest. However, some species do not produce viable seeds. In addition, other plants produce seeds that may not produce true-to-type offspring. In those cases, vegetative propagation may be your solution. What do I mean by “true-totype”? Seeds are the end products of properly pollinated and fertilized flowers. If all goes well, these flowers will eventually produce a viable seed. Some plants have flowers that are self-pollinated. These are usually safe to save seed from, and will result in offspring that are the same type as the parent. However, some plants must be cross-pollinated, by a different cultivar of the same species. When this occurs, there is a mixing of genes. This will result in
an offspring that has traits from both parents. Thus, the offspring may not be the same type as the parent plant you were interested in propagating. Apples provide a good example of this. Hybrid plants are another example where saving seed is not a good idea. These plants are the products of two inbred lines of parent plants, and while the initial cross (the F1 generation) produces uniform plants, the seeds produced by those plants are not genetically stable. That means that offspring from those plants probably will not be trueto-type. If the plant that you want to propagate from seed passes all the above tests, and is not patented, then you have an excellent candidate to save seed from. You may need to take special measures to insure that cross-pollination does not occur, to keep everything true-to-type. Also, be sure that the seed is mature. Seeds from green peppers, for example, usually do not germinate well. You need the pepper to color up and be mature, perhaps to the point of being over-ripe, for the seed to have good germination. Many seeds are dormant when first produced by the plant, and will need special treatment to germinate. Some, for example, need a period of chilling before they will germinate. Others may have a thick seed coat, which must be broken so that they can absorb water and germinate.

Top players honored at 11th Lions All-Star BB Classic The 11th Annual District 26M4 All-Star Basketball Classic was held on the campus of North Central Missouri College at Trenton, and saw outgoing high school seniors from a 22-county region play in their final high school basketball games. The event took place on May 31 and June 1. This year’s tournaments were won by the Black Team on the boys side, and by the White Team on the girls side. Playing for Daviess County were Jadan Almond, Jamesport; Kelsey Maxwell, Gallatin; and Jacob Lewis and Cy Uthe, Winston. Also at this event, Ainsley Tolson of Trenton and Dylan Ward of South Harrison won the second annual three-point shooting contest. The single-game threepoint record for the Gold Team was tied with six made threes by St. Joseph Central’s Nick Cebullko. The event began on Saturday with the teams and coaches
getting to know each other, and having their only practices. This was followed by a meal, and then the annual three-point shooting contest. Then, the honorees changed into their nice clothes, and were treated to a banquet. At this banquet, the students were treated with a message from former Brookfield High School and Mizzou football standout Luke Lambert. The players then played two games per team on Saturday, with the four teams of all-stars battling for the 2019 championship. It is worth noting that two games went to overtime this year, and all of the eight games had amazing basketball action for the fans and players in attendance. All coaches and referees volunteered their time at this event. All proceeds from this event go to the Audio Reader program, and to college scholarships for the schools in the 22-county area of Lions District 26-M4.

From the Bench
Jurist implements video to educate jury panels By 43rd Circuit Judge Judge R. Brent Elliott Few remember the words of Edward Everett. Billions are familiar with Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Everett was the featured speaker at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery that followed the epic battle to preserve a nation. The Massachusetts statesman spoke for over two hours before Lincoln took just two minutes to deliver one of the most memorable messages in the history of mankind. Everett later told Lincoln, “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.” The 43rd Judicial Circuit was recently honored by a visit from Missouri Supreme Court Judge Mary Russell when she addressed the Chillicothe Rotary Club. As I watched her explain
the intricacies of our judicial system and rationale behind difficult decisions, I knew how Edward Everett must have felt. Judge Russell provided more information in 15 minutes than I have accomplished in hundreds of articles related to court operations. Judge Russell has served as Chief Justice on Missouri’s highest court. She has accomplished much since her childhood days milking cows on the family farm near Hannibal. The judge has worked tirelessly to educate the public on the importance of fair and impartial courts. To that end, Judge Russell and the Civic Education Committee recently produced a short video designed to be watched by jury panels as they await the start of a trial. This education device will be made available to all judges of the 43rd Judicial Circuit and they will, in turn, implement its presentation to as many potential jurors as possible. I trust those of you who appear for jury duty will find the video helpful and informative.
In a future article I will address another of Judge Russell’s efforts to improve our court system through the 43rd Circuit’s “Truancy Court.” Personal Note: I was delighted to hear Chillicothe resident Marvin Holcer was recently presented the “Silver Service Award” by Missouri’s Lieutenant Governor. It is the highest honor in the State for Senior Citizen Service in their community. Marvin’s daughter, Lori Keller, is my neighbor. The apple did not fall far from the tree. I have personally witnessed Lori’s tireless volunteer efforts on behalf of church, school, and our DeKalb County communities. Also, happy 94th birthday to Vic Litton of Lock Springs. My father used to tell him, “Only the good die young.” Dad said Vic will live forever. Editor’s note: Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott presents this series of articles intended to provide the public with a better understanding of the judicial system.

City to update contract with water district The Missouri Rural Water rate study and the People Service rate study for the City of Gallatin have been completed and Gallatin City Administrator Lance Rains has collected the information. Missouri Rural Water calculated the cost of production per 1,000 gallons at $8.70 and People Service calculated it at $8.66 per 1,000 gallons. Currently the city charges Daviess County Public Water Supply District $6.64 per 1,000 gallons of water. The study ($8.70) reflects an increase of $2.06. Rains emphasized that the updated contract would reflect no profit for the city, but is the amount needed to cover the cost to produce the water. The city sells the water to PWSD #2 and PWSD #2 then sells it to its customers. The city of Gallatin has no say in what PWSD #2 charges its customers. During their meeting held June 10, Rains requested the
board’s approval to allow him to contact the United States Department of Agriculture to start the process of drafting an updated contract with Public Water Supply District #2. Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards has contacted several property owners about high grass. The properties at 111 E. Berry, 202 E. Corrine, and 502 N. Water that were brought up at the last meeting have been mowed down. The property at 302 South Main was contacted and is making headway to correct violations. A summons was issued to 305 North Clay, and a meeting was held concerning cleaning up the property. There are two dogs in the pound. Six dogs have been adopted in the last week. During public comment, Beverly Webb led a discussion requesting that South Cedar Street be added to the resurfacing list for city streets. She also is concerned about the new ditch
PSC grants Invenergy request to acquire Grain Belt Express
SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
The Missouri Public Service Commission has unanimously approved a request filed by Invenergy Transmission LLC, and its parent company Invenergy Investment Company (Invenergy), and Grain Belt Express Clean Line, LLC (Grain Belt) and Grain Belt Express Holding LLC, which authorizes Invenergy to acquire ownership of Grain Belt. In a 5-0 vote, the Commission determined that allowing Invenergy to acquire Grain Belt is not detrimental to the public interest. “Invenergy acquiring Grain Belt benefits the Grain Belt Express Project, which benefits the State of Missouri and the public interest,” said the Commission. “The acquisition will expedite and promote the continued development of the Grain Belt Express Project, which will deliver low-cost wind energy to Missouri wholesale customers, who will, in turn, provide that lower-cost energy to their retail customers.” The Commission noted in its decision that the Grain Belt Express Project will benefit the State of Missouri. Expected benefits to the state include: • An estimated 1,500 jobs during the three to four years of construction; • A continuing source of property tax revenues to the political subdivisions where the facilities are located; • A participant-funded model, such that Grain Belt Express assumes all financial risk
of building and operating the transmission line, with no costs anticipated to be recovered through the rates of regional transmission organizations; • An estimated $9.5-$11 million in annual savings for customers of the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission, which will receive up to 250 MW of capacity from the Project through an existing Transmission Services Agreement; • Additional access to highcapacity-factor Kansas wind resources to fulfill the growing demand for renewable energy in Missouri. The Commission approved the acquisition subject to the same protections for landowners through the landowner protocol and other conditions imposed on Grain Belt in a March 20, 2019, Commission decision which granted Grain Belt a certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, operate, control, manage and maintain a high voltage, direct current transmission line and associated facilities within eight Missouri counties (Buchanan, Clinton, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Randolph, Monroe and Ralls). “Grain Belt did not object to those protections and conditions in that case, and Invenergy does not object to them in this case,” said the Commission. The Commission said it was appropriate to transfer those protections and conditions to Invenergy.

that was dug by the city; she is not able to mow the area as she was promised. Ms. Webb also requested the board consider fining the property owners and tenants for nuisance violations.

Rains and Morey have been working on several excavation questions and permits. The board discussed considering adopting a new road tube policy. Rains will reach out to other cities to collect information and present to the board. The May transaction report was approved. Bills in the amount of $178,830.74 were approved for payment. The board reviewed the May 2019 Financial Review. Amber Roberts, the city’s new deputy clerk, was approved to be added to the Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri Automated Clearing House (ACH) payroll, ACH utility bills, and pool deposits pick up signature cards for the City of Gallatin.

Everything you NEVER wanted to know about ticks
..but should
Let’s talk tick:
by T.L. Huffman
It’s almost summertime, which means more time outdoors fishing, swimming, hunting, hiking and being out and about in nature. Unfortunately, this can also mean exposure to one of nature’s most hideous pests — ticks. Ticks are ugly, nasty, disease-carrying creatures, which is precisely why they deserve some attention. Many tick-borne diseases have been reported in Missouri: Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, heartland virus, bourbon virus, lyme or a lyme-like disease and the southern tick-associated rash illness, babesiosis, relapsing fever, and the little-understood tick paralysis. Some of these diseases bring on not just chills, nausea and fever, but they can trigger neurological problems and even death.
●●Only mosquitoes surpass ticks in the ability to transmit disease to animals and humans. ●●Ticks are not an insect; ticks are classified as arachnids and are closely related to mites, spiders and scorpions. ●●Ticks are truly vampires … they want to suck your blood and must have blood to survive. ●●Ticks don’t jump or fly, but they can crawl. They crawl up grass or weeds and wait. When an animal passes by, they brace with their back legs and clamp on with their front legs. They can also drop from an above perch onto a host. This behavior is called questing. ●●Ticks are divided into two families: hard ticks and soft ticks. The soft ticks go for birds. The hard ticks go for mammals. ●●Ticks sense exhaled carbon dioxide and emitted body odors, and they can detect vibrations and changes in light intensity caused by movement. choice for all spotted fever infections. At least one case of alpha-gal allergy has been known to have occurred in the county recently. It was diagnosed by an allergist and suspected to be caused by a tick bite. But, according to the Centers for Disease Control, scientists do not yet know if alpha-gal allergy can be caused by a tick bite. They suspect it is, but say more research is needed. An alpha-gal allergy is an allergy to the alpha-gal sugar molecule. Allergic reactions typically occur after people eat meat
Four life cycles Ticks have four life cycles: egg, larva, nymph and adult. After a tick egg hatches, the emerging larva is about the size of a poppy seed and has six legs. After a blood meal, maybe a mouse, the larva drops off its host, casts its skin and becomes an eight-legged nymph. After a bloody meal, maybe a dog or deer, the nymph drops to the ground and transforms into an eight-legged adult. Soon after feeding and mating, which usually occurs on a host, maybe human, the adult male dies. The female drops to the ground, and then she dies, too. Finally. But not before laying thousands of eggs to start the whole horrid thing over again. The only good thing about it is that most ticks die at each stage before they are able to find a host. Ticks bury their teeth deeply into the skin of a host. A tick will unpack its feeding tube and spit out a cocktail of bloodthinning, skin-numbing, human-immunesystem-fighting saliva. They will likely take two to three days to eat. Even if a tick bites you, promptly removing the tick diminishes the potential for disease transmittal. Ticks typically
Lone Star Tick
transmits Anaplasmosis and Lyme-like Disease
American DogTick transmits Rocky Mtn. Spotted Fever require 24-48 hours of feeding before they can successfully transmit infections like Lyme disease. Take advantage of that time lapse and promptly remove the tick before it can transmit disease. There are almost 900 tick species, but only a handful cause trouble. Ticks are not born with disease agents. They pick up disease causing bacteria during feeding and pass them along to
Brown Dog Tick transmits Rocky Mtn. Spotted Fever from mammals that have alpha-gal or are exposed to products made from mammals. Symptoms can include: rash, hives, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, dizziness or faintness, nausea or vomiting, and severe stomach pain. Symptoms of an alpha-gal allergy commonly appear 3-6 hours after eating meat (e.g., beef, lamb, pork, venison, and rabbit) or exposure to products containing alphagal. Symptoms may not occur after every exposure and can vary from person to person. The alpha-gal allergy experience by our reader was severe, and even lifethreatening.
First Aid for tick bites Don’t just grab the tick and pull it out. Squeezing the rear end may force the tick to inject body fluids into your flesh. You should avoid touching the tick with your bare hands because some fluids may enter your system through small cuts.
transmits Ehrlichhia Chafeensis
Blacklegged (Deer) Tick
In the past year, Daviess County had one case of Lyme-like disease, according to the Daviess County Health Department. Typical symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue, and the telltale expanding (bull’s eye) skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. One case of Rickettsia Parkeri Rickettsiosis was also reported in Daviess County. This tick disease is transmitted to humans by the Gulf Coast tick. This tick disease is in the spotted fever group. Rickettsiosis is not common for this area, according to Cheryl Alexander, administrator at the health department. Spotted fevers can range from mild to life-threatening. Most people who get sick with a spotted fever other than RMSF will have an eschar (dark scab at the site of tick or mite bite), fever, headache, and rash. Doxycycline is the treatment of
other animals during subsequent feedings. Their bite can pack a wallop; they can carry as many as three diseases at one time. For example, the blacklegged deer tick can spread Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and another illness called babesiosis in one bite.
Use sturdy tweezers or blunt forceps to get it off. Pinch the tick lightly as close to your skin as possible (near its head) and remove the tick with a steady lifting motion — no twisting, squeezing or puncturing. After removing the tick, bathe the bite area (maybe even scrub it with cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide/iodine/ alcohol), apply antibiotic ointment and cover it with a bandage. Don’t be touching the tick with a hot match. It will rupture, splattering disease stuff all over the place. Coating the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly might cause the tick to throw up into your flesh. Flush it down the toilet. You can save the tick in case you do come down with something. Put it in a sealed plastic bag marked with the date and stash it in the refrigerator. Label it, to avoid confusion.

Auction fundraiser (continued from page 1) Mark goes above and beyond the duties of a normal auctioneer -- he screams, sweats, cajoles, challenges, incites, cracks jokes …whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in. The two auction items generating the highest dollar amounts paid were a week at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge in Winter Park and a Patrick Mahomes autographed Chiefs jersey at $2,700 each! This year’s auction theme was Hawaiian Luau, and of decorations reflecting that theme were masterful. Several people wore grass skirts -- including the auctioneer. But the most impressive feature of the evening was the overwhelming degree of generosity displayed by both the donors of auction items and the bidders. The event was a resounding success. Auctioneer Mark Leggett
