Library meal service doubles weekly; reopening unfolds slowly ...but surely The “Dragon-tale”-gate is entering its fourth week of service and growing by leaps and bounds, doubling weekly, at the Daviess County Library. These meals are prepared in a central kitchen location then transported to the five corners of the county — Gallatin, Jameson/ Coffey, Pattonsburg, Winston, and Altamont. School-aged children or their parents may meet the library van at any of these locations and pick up a lunchbox and summer reading activity packet. If any family should want more than one day’s meal, they need only call the library and request such. Reopen staging policy was reviewed at the regular board meeting last Thursday and Phase 3 was approved, allowing limited family visits, patron browsing in the stacks, and continued contactless curbside service for patrons not yet ready to enter the building. Books continue to be returned through the drop boxes for quarantine and masks are still required for entry to the building. Children are encouraged to register for the summer reading program and read for prizes. Programming remains virtual, but look for movies on the lawn on Wednesday afternoons beginning July 8. Phase 3 procedures will be reviewed and either renewed or upgraded on July 7. The library is opening slowly, but surely, and definitely with the staff and patrons best interest guiding the way. For more information about library hours or Phase 3 procedures or for the Summer Food Service Program Dragon-TALEgate, call the library 660-663-3222 or visit www.daviesscountylibrary.org.

Stars ‘n scars

There’s been a lot of flag waving in the news recently, meaning the Confederate Stars ‘n Bars as a symbol defiantly waved in response to Black Lives Matter. I read where rebel flags are jumping off the shelves at Dixie Outfitters in Branson. It’s not unusual to see Confederate flags in windows, on barns, and atop poles here in Daviess County. You can see bumper stickers and vehicle window decals keeping the “Lost Cause” alive almost anywhere. In some states, there has been attacks on Confederate monuments and renewed calls to remove monuments entirely. The politically correct crowd wants to rename 10 military bases which are named after Confederate leaders. In our nation’s Capitol, attempts to remove 11 statues that commemorate Confederate leaders and pro-slavery Vice President John C. Calhoun have renewed – even though the Senate Rules Committee has given each state the right to choose two historical figures to be honored in the by Darryl Wilkinson Capitol since the Civil War. In Tulsa on Saturday, President Trump put it this way: “The unhinged left-wing mob is trying to vandalize our history, desecrate our monuments, our beautiful monuments. Tear down our statues and punish, cancel and persecute anyone who does not conform to their demands for absolute and total control.” That has its appeal. But this topic deserves deeper thought, and we must be careful when rewriting history. While real bullets (not today’s rhetoric) were flying on battlefields, President Abraham Lincoln correctly identified the reason for Civil War as slavery. Southern states’ rights were contingent upon an economy which depended on slavery. Lincoln corrected what our Founding Fathers neglected in proclaiming “All men are created equal” through the Emancipation Proclamation. And further, Lincoln rose above personal political gain by refusing to punish Confederate leaders as traitors, leading instead with charity for all. It is wrong to deny the chivalry and honor of the South by denouncing or rewriting our country’s history. But it is also wrong to ignore how for too many Americans today, the bronze and marble statues are monuments to racism and how the Confederate flag inflames emotions. The statues should stand … but perhaps relocated to cemeteries or to places where history is presented in broader context.

Rebooting our economy

By Congressman Sam Graves

(continued on page 3)

Missouri is back open for business. That’s great news for working families and business owners alike. For more than two months, we were asked to stay at home, slow the spread, and help buy our healthcare workers precious time to ﬁght back against this virus. We did that. We’ve dramatically ramped up COVID-19 testing, developed plans to contain and limit outbreaks, and helped our healthcare providers restock

According to DOR, Missouri’s new driver’s license includes enhanced security features designed to further-deter counterfeiting and fraud, help protect Missourians from identity theft and provide assurances to law enforcement, retailers and others who rely on driver’s licenses and ID cards for identity purposes.

A previously issued Missouri driver’s license or ID is still valid until its listed expiration date. There are no additional fees or costs to Missouri residents to obtain the new driver’s license; however, anyone requesting a new driver’s license or ID — just to have the new version — will have to pay the standard duplicate processing fees. In addition, Missourians will still have the option to apply for a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID. As a result of the

The unemployment rate spiked to 14.7 percent, something we haven’t seen since the height of the Great Depression. Unlike the calamity of the 1930’s, this crisis hit overnight through a wave of stay-at-home and safe-at-home orders. There was absolutely nothing workers and businesses could have done to anticipate

New driver’s licenses now available

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

The state continues to improve its services without raising costs to citizens. The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) has unveiled its new driver’s license. According to DOR, Missouri’s new driver’s license contains numerous measures designed to enhance safety and security. DOR begins issuing the new state driver’s licenses on June 22. The new design is in honor of Missouri’s upcoming bicenten-

something like this. In Washington, we took unprecedented action to keep workers on payroll, temporarily extend unemployment benefits, and keep small businesses afloat. This mitigated some of the damage, but it was far from a permanent solution. We got some unexpected good news earlier this month when we learned unemployment fell to 13.3 percent in May. That was far better than the predictions that it would hit a record high. While that was welcome news, a nearrecord number of Americans are still out of work. The reality is that reopening our country is the only sustainable path forward. We cannot continue to run up record deficits for future generations to pay off and American workers must be able to return to work and provide for their families. These shutdowns were never capable of defeating this virus. They were only intended to buy us time to fight back. We must remember that COVID-19 is still out there. We are still in the midst of a global pandemic.

Harriett Woods: A leader worth remembering As I reflect on the final months of term-limited state legislators who have made a profound difference for the state, I also remember Harriett Woods. While The St. Louis Democrat gained national attention for her efforts for women, I think about what a superb state legislator she became on other issues. She first entered the Missouri Senate in 1977. It was not a particularly positive environment for a metro-area, liberal woman legislator. The chamber was dominated by an old-boys’ network of largely rural and very conservative male legislators. In the era before term limits, a legislator usually could not accomplish much until gaining significant seniority. But Woods had an advantage to quickly become a dominating force because, in by Phill part, she knew how to use the media. Brooks She had been a newspaper and TV journalism and, before that, editor of her university’s student newspaper. In addition, she was married to the editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and then the Globe-Democrat. So, she knew how to use the media to focus public attention on issues in ways I don’t think the old-guard legislators of the past understood. Woods did not have media managers or spokespersons to issue releases. She knew how to be far more effective. Use of those skills led to public pressure on the legislature on issues including stronger protections for nursing home residents, consumer protection and tougher laws on drunken driving. My favorite memory of her involved drunken driving legislation. Although I don’t remember that drunken driving was a top issue for Woods, I interviewed her for the close of a multi-week KMOX investigative series on the loopholes lawyers used to help clients avoid drunkendriving convictions.

During the interview, she quickly seized onto the issue National Women’s Political Caucus that helped political as high legislative priority. In that interview, as in others, campaigns of women across the country. she sometimes would answer a question with a response In an era before any woman held a statewide office or to something else.

Dear library patron: We are excited to announce expanded re-entry into the Daviess County Library buildings. Stage 3 allows adult patrons to once again browse the stacks and children (ages 0-14) may also enter the library at a ratio of two children per one adult. Social distancing will be practiced, therefore one patron per aisle will be allowed. It’s a big library in Gallatin, so this should not pose an issue. Jamesport will allow one patron per room, except for short overlaps due to computer usage. Due to open children’s spaces, families will be limited to one family at a time for a visit up to one hour. Patrons wishing to continue contactless service due to personal caution may do so by speaking with a library assistant. This service will return to outdoor pick-up service between 1-5 p.m. in Gallatin. Patrons entering the building will be required to wear masks and collect their books at the front desk. Watch for outdoor family movies on the lawn coming in July. We’ve ordered lots of new titles and can’t wait to have families, socially distanced of course, back at the library. We appreciate your cooperation and compliance as we strive to keep our staff healthy and serve our patrons while cautiously moving forward. Sincerely, Elizabeth S Plotner, Library Director

Stars ‘n Scars

(continued from page 1) As for Confederate flags, perhaps our challenge is in viewing the Stars ‘n Bars in a more real sense … as Stars ‘n Scars. You may not agree. Defend whatever passion you choose. But, at least for me, the controversy is not about rewriting history or promoting “Lost Cause” propaganda nor is it some sort of old moldy historical debate among academics. It’s as personal and simple as looking at my children and my grandchildren. When God blessed us with children, we had no worries about any man legally taking our sons or daughters away from us. There was no expectation that an auction block would ever define or break up my family. That was not true for mothers and fathers who were American slaves. There’s nothing right about that. And no amount of flag waving, from either side of our Civil War, can hide the scars of that ugly truth.

Get that mole Trapping remains the most effective and efficient means of control. Several trap types exist. Among the more effective types are scissor-type traps. They can be stepped on to open trap along the runway. A plate on top enables the scissors to snap shut when the mole pushes soil back up against it. Or you can give the moles to your neighbor. Many repellents sold at nurseries and garden centers contain castor bean oil. Control can last one to three months, but rain or irrigation often shortens control. Follow label directions.

LARRY ADAMS JR. Daviess County Sheriff

The position of Sheriff is not just a title. A Sheriff is an individual elected by the citizens, who enforces the law, protects the citizens, their property, and their rights. The Sheriff is also responsible for managing and maintaining an office that will uphold the law, and serve the community in these ways. Other duties include proposing and maintaining an office budget, being an active member of the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail board, working with other departments and agencies. With the exception of serving on the jail board, I have had the opportunity to serve in all of these capacities. Since being hired to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office in 2009, I have served the community in various responsibilities. Some of those responsibilities include being a road deputy, a bailiff, www.daviesscountysheriff.com a Federal Violent Crimes Task Force Officer, a Firearms instructor, a Sergeant, and a Chief Deputy. Outside of the office, I’m a husband, a father, a resident of the county, and a member of local community and church programs. Protecting and serving is and has always been my passion. While serving as a law enforcement officer for over 19 years, I have gained knowledge, experience, and resources, which I would use to help combat crime and help citizens in their times of need.

Supreme Court rules on Trenton farms

The Missouri Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the Clean Water Commission, approving Trenton Farms’ permit to establish a twin concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). The Court held that House Bill No. 1713 is constitutionally valid. The Court also held that there is sufficient evidence regarding the CAFO’s protection from a 100-year flood and affirmed the Department of Natural Resource’s issuance of a permit to Trenton Farms to establish a CAFO. The concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) is in Grundy County. Hickory Neighbors United, Inc. opposed the building of the swine operation and had appealed. The case before the Supreme Court involved whether a 2016 state law was constitutional, arguing that the law violated the single subject clause.

Bringing them back home, area man connects to others through photos Tim Thompson isn’t a professional photographer. But for a ‘half blind’ guy, he takes some pretty interesting pictures. “I have a lot of older people who can’t get outdoors,” he says. “So I go out and get the sunrise or sunset or something, so they can enjoy the walk.” Tim’s photos are featured on his facebook page and on Show Me Missouri and Nature, Landscapes, Portraits, Towns, Wildlife From All Over The World. He likes to take landscape photos, bridges, trains, rivers… whatever catches his eye. “I never know what I might be

taking photos of until I get in the car and go,” he says. “Sometimes you just have to stop and get a view, so people can think why.” Sometimes the photos are stark and natural, sometimes they are tweaked. Now and then he takes unexpected shots using crystals and mirrors. The crystals he’d seen used before by other photographers, but he came up with the mirrors himself. “I’m always trying something different because I want to be different from the rest,” he says. The Chillicothe native has lived in the nearby smaller towns of Dawn and Mooresville. He

graduated in 1990 and moved all over the state. He’s been back in Chillicothe for the last decade. His family on his father’s side was involved with the log cabin in Jamesport City Park. Tim might not strike you as the artistic sort. He looks a little gruff in bandana and biker beard. His facebook profile picture is an armed confederate soldier skull; and he definitely has his political views, which tend to the right with ‘southern pride’. “I’m kind to anyone else until they put anyone else down because of what they have or what their home looks like or

anything like that,” says Tim. “I will help anyone out as much as I can. Money’s not everything, but friends go a long way in my book.” Tim is employed full-time and also does landscaping as a second job so he can make a little extra money to help out his grandson. And, yes, his grandson, Half Pint, age one, is a favorite subject for his photos. His wife, Tammy, works at Missouri Star Quilt in Hamilton. She, too, likes photography, but mostly only takes pictures while on vacations. Tim’s photographs show an eye for perspective and the use

of light and shade, though he has had no formal training. “I started about five years ago with my cell phone,” he says. “The last couple of years, I’ve been using my wife’s old Sanyo camera unit, until I can buy a better camera.” He says he doesn’t work for pay, just for other people’s enjoyment. “I have a Washington lady who has family here,” Tim says. “She gets lonely for her family. My photos bring her back home with them.”
