Sewer bonds refinanced, city saves $174,000, water contracts drafted
The City of Gallatin has been discussing possible refinancing of its sewer bonds and sewer projects that could be funded through the savings if the city could refinance. City Administrator Lance Rains has been researching possible rates. At the city meeting held Aug. 26, Steve Goehl with D.A. Davidson presented refinancing options for the sewer bonds. The financial services company reached out to over 20 banks and received four responses. The best rate was from Bank Midwest (NBH Bank) with a 3.10% rate for 20 years, which would result in a savings of $174,000 for the city. The board accepted D.A. Davidson’s proposal to refinance the sewer bonds with Bank Midwest (NBH Bank) at a rate of 3.10%. Discussion was held on the United States Department of Agriculture water purchase contract with Public Water Supply District #2 and the agreement between PWSD#2 and Caldwell County. Rains has been collecting area rates for comparison. The board moved to draft the USDA contract with PWSD#2 to include $9/per 1,000 gallons and $18/per 1,000 gallons for water in excess of 4,000,000 gallons. The board also agreed to allow PWSD#2 to supply water to Caldwell County PWSD #2 as long as the City of Gallatin is provided verification to the supply meter. Herzog pushed the street resurfacing project to August/ September due to the floods and issues getting sand and supplies. Herzog will be resurfacing East and West Van Buren. A list of streets was presented at an earlier meeting, which the city plans to start on for laying oil and chips, but may not finish if they run out of materials. Chip prices were approved from Tragger Quarry: ¼-inch washed $13.15 per ton, $5.50 per ton delivery. Oil prices were approved from Vance Brothers: $2.70 per gallon, $420 per trip. The oil and chip/seal has been delivered, but street crews are having issues with the oilier truck. They have replaced one cylinder, but there is still an electronic issue with the truck. Crews have only been able to chip/seal two different one block streets because of the truck issues and rainy weather. DNR is requiring a comprehensive sewer collection and treatment plan to be drafted
and implemented for repairs and improvements. The amount of storm water being collected and reaching the city’s treatment plant needs to be reduced. Morey stated the causes for additional storm water collection occurring included: broken pipes, cleanouts without caps, collapsed pipes, down spouts, sump pumps, storm drains, vented manhole lids, and root intrusion into manholes. At an earlier meeting the board discussed the need to replace a main electric feeder line pole from an H structure to a ductile-iron pole. Farmer’s Electric also utilizes the pole, but the city’s lines are at the top of the pole making it the city’s responsibility to replace it. Scobee was approved for labor and equipment for $9,000. After gathering quotes, Morey purchased and transported a $1,400 ductile line pole from Kearney to complete the replacement. Scobee plans to change out the transmission line pole the first week of September. Morey has been working on a tree trimming bid packet for contractors for electric right-ofways, but requested the board consider including street rightof-way tree trimming in the 2020 budget. The board reviewed the recommended tree trimming policy and road tube replacement policy. Administrator Rains will work with Attorney Cowherd to move the recommendations to policy. Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for Aug. 26: 1-Civil Standby; 1-Theft Automobile; 1-Welfare Check; 1-Counterfeiting; 1-Sexual Assault; 1-Welfare Check; 1-Traffic Accident with Damage; 1-Burglary; 1-Burglary from Motor Vehicle; 4-Juvenile Problem; 1-Domestic Disturbance; 2-Runaway Juvenile. There are no dogs in the pound. Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that electric crews responded to several power outages due to lightening. The outages were restored by replacing three different transformers and removing a tree limb on the lines. The new water plant has been running well the past month. The water clarity is improving, the walls haven’t leaked recently, and the CO2 treatment has been corrected. Morey will be meeting with Ross Construction to discuss unfinished items.

Farm Lease Class to be held in Gallatin
MU Extension will present a Missouri Farm Lease Program on September 24, 2019, in Gallatin at the First Christian Church, located at 1501 S. Main St. The program will be from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., and a light meal will be provided. Pre-registration is required by September 20. “Farm leases are a popular topic given common current cash rent levels and volatile crop prices. Landlords and tenants need to understand the terms and expectations to develop a satisfactory agreement for both parties” said Mary Sobba, agriculture business specialist with University of Missouri Extension and one of the workshop presenters. “There are many issues both farm landlords and tenants need to be aware of and this program is designed to address these issues” according to Sobba. Farm lease topics to be addressed in the class include:
current cash rents in Missouri and trends, items to include in a lease, terminating a farm lease – when and how to do it legally, recreational (hunting) leases – what you should be aware of, and livestock and crop share arrangements – keeping them fair for both sides. The program will be presented by a team of agricultural business specialists with MU Extension, who have worked with both tenants and landlords for many years. The program will be presented by distance learning so the audience can see and interact with all of the instructors, as well as instructors from the other sites (five sites total). Contact the Harrison County Extension Center at (660) 425-6434 or email spainhowerj@missouri. edu for fee information or if you would like to register to attend. University of Missouri extension programs are open to all interested persons.
Storm Warn offers warnings, records extreme weather in surrounding area
The picture was taken in June west of Maysville and south of King City and first appeared on the Northwest Missouri Storm Warn page. Storm Warn has been up for about five years. Most of the pictures are taken by Jerry Buzzard of Maysville while he is out and about, but a few are sent in by followers. Jerry says his scariest experience as a storm watcher happened about six or seven years ago, when a tornado went through part of Fairport, north of Maysville. “I was probably only about 200 yards from the destruction path,” he says. “It was a small tornado, so I was safe. But, it happened at night.”
Jerry, who says he is related to the Kings around Gallatin, was five weeks old, when a tornado blew his mother, himself, and his two brothers out of a house near Maysville. “Actually, as a small child, I was terrified of storms,” Jerry says. “Then when I was about 18, I saw a tornado up close. I was hooked. I used to just alert my friends of impending severe weather, then I thought, why not just alert all of northwest Missouri.” Storm Warn welcomes new viewers.

Heavy rains, high waters threaten Magill Bridge The Daviess County Commissioners will be meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers at 11 a.m. on Sept. 6, to discuss the Magill Bridge. The bridge is being threatened by the Grand River, which has been turbulent through this extremely wet year. The question will be: How to save the bridge. In general there are two main approaches for river bank stabilization: strengthening the bank through hard approaches, like riverbank riprap and retaining walls, or softer approaches, like bioengineering and vegetation. The Commission talked to one bridge company, which estimated it would take a million dollars to install riprap, or loose rocks, on the bank. The Commission will be looking into getting financial help for the project from Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) or other public assistance programs. Highway O ends on the north side of the Magill bridge. Saber, the gravel road on the south side of the bridge, has been lost to the caving river bank. Along with the Corps, members of the Missouri Department of Transportation, and the Union Township are expected to attend the meeting. The Magill Bridge was constructed in September, 1996. The bridge is 468 feet long and 26 feet wide, and cost about $1,334,000. The following information is based on the Grand River Watershed Inventory and Assessment prepared by Greg Pitchford, Fisheries Management Biologist and Harold Kerns, Northwest Fisheries Regional Supervisor. Streambanks: Streambanks along most of the reaches are highly susceptible to erosion. Channels are often incised so deeply that streamside vegetation offers little erosion protection and the establishment of streambank vegetation often is limited to herbaceous, viney plants with shallow root systems. Many streambanks are taller than 15 feet and are eroding at a rapid rate. Lateral erosion rates of 15-30 feet annually are not (Continued on page 3)
Availability of water — a priceless commodity often overlooked by T.L. Huffman, staff writer
It’s a miraculously common substance: water. Each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day. Just as most people don’t understand how a car is built unless they work at an automobile manufacturing plant, most people are unfamiliar with the water purification process. “I find that a lot of people have no idea of where their water comes from,” says Roger Barker, water operator for Lake Viking. He is also District 1 Director of the Missouri Rural Water Association, which
serves 15 counties in northwest Missouri. “In our case we pull water out of Lake Viking and run it through our treatment plant. Other districts in our county buy Roger Barker their water. Their source is usually an underground well supply.” Early water systems in Missouri were simple basins or ponds. The water was pumped from the basin to the home with no filtration and no disinfectant. It’s no surprise that waterborne illnesses like
cholera, dysentery, and typhoid ran rampant. Today, water systems are complex systems using technological advancements to filter and purify water for drinking — even though most water used in the household is not used for drinking. Most of it is used to flush the stool, then to shower and bathe. Still, the water is filtered as though every drop of it will go for human consumption. Regardless of the source of the water, contaminants abound which must be removed. Whether water travels over the
ground or soaks through the ground, it picks stuff up along the way — viruses and bacteria from sewage plants and septic systems; pesticides and herbicides from agriculture; radioactive contaminants from oil and gas production; copper and lead from the corrosion of household plumbing systems — just to name a few. “As far as the daily sampling at the plant and samples that we send to the state lab, few people have any idea of the contaminates that we test for,” Barker says. “Water operators add chemicals

Traveling is a fact of rural life: Fixing our rural bridges By Congressman Sam Graves In rural North Missouri, we travel a lot of miles every day— it’s just a fact of life. We know that our roads and bridges are in desperate need of repair. Inadequately maintained roads and bridges cause needless delays and detours, greatly impacting public safety and commerce. Some bridges have been reduced to one lane, increasing the risk of accidents and causing confusion. Others are weight limited, keeping school buses, semis and farm equipment from using them. Inconvenient as they may be, these cautionary measures are designed to keep the bridges open to smaller vehicle traffic, until they can be replaced. The State of Missouri suffers from a large number of struc-
turally deficient bridges, many of which are in my district. The average bridge in Missouri is 48 years old—most were only designed to last for 50 years. As a result, more than 900 bridges in our state are rated as “poor’ by the Federal Highway Administration. Right now, MODOT simply doesn’t have the money to fix and replace all of these bridges. That said, we are making progress when it comes fixing and replacing these aging bridges. This week I was pleased to announce that the Missouri Department of Transportation will be receiving a $20.7 million federal grant to fix many of our bridges in North Missouri. The grant money will go to MODOT’s Fixing Access to Rural Missouri (FARM) bridge
replacement program. The program proposes to replace 40 bridges, specifically in North Missouri. This will go a long way towards updating our crumbling infrastructure. Not only will these bridges get replaced, but it will also enable other important rural transportation projects to be completed earlier than expected. I applaud MODOT’s focus on upgrading North Missouri’s rural infrastructure. Ensuring we maintain and upgrade our infrastructure continues to be a top priority of mine because it is so critical to folks in rural and urban Missouri alike. I look forward to seeing these bridges constructed for the continued safety and economic vitality of North Missouri.
College is next step after grad: Saving for your children’s future By Senator Dan Hegeman As the cost of college increases, Missouri families have a tool to help prepare them for the day when their son or daughter chooses the next step following high school graduation. The best part is, no one has to take on this major challenge on their own. Missouri’s 529 College Savings Plan, often called the Missouri MOST Plan, refers to section 529 of the IRS tax code. It is an investment account that is specifically used for saving money to help pay for college. Better still, it is money that can be invested tax-free, without the usual penalties most investment
accounts utilize once the money is withdrawn. There are also state tax benefits for opening an account. Just about anybody can open a 529 account, whether it is the parent, grandparent or any other relative of someone who plans to go to college. You can also open an account for yourself. The money invested in these accounts can be used for tuition, books, supplies, fees and some room and board. The funds can also go toward paying for vocational or technical schools or two-year colleges as well. These accounts are a great way to invest in your future. It is
an opportunity to put away money not only for the right reasons, but to also take advantage of tax benefits from not only the state, but the federal government. I am glad to see the 529 College Savings Plan still going strong and making a positive difference in people’s lives through our state. 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.
Storm Warn (Continued from page 1) The 2019 tornado season got off to a deadly start, ramped up to a record-setting May then settled down for a stretch producing fewer tornadoes than usual from June through August so far. And while September through November are not peak tornado months, AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok says that things aren’t over yet. According to AccuWeather’s Late-Season Tornado Outlook forecasts, based on AccuWeather research, there will be roughly 50-60 tornadoes in September, roughly 40-50 in October and approximately 65-75 in November, with the prime area of activity taking place in Gulf Coast and Tornado Alley states. The 25-year average number of United States tornadoes for September, October and November is 66, 58 and 56, respectively, according to the National Ocean-
ic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Storm Prediction Center. AccuWeather now estimates the total number of tornadoes for 2019 will be between 1,350 and 1,425. “The Gulf Coast states will see activity early in September, and it could be tornadoes or heavy rainfall,” Pastelok said. “We have seen many times that tropical systems can contribute to the total count in September. “We may have to watch November closely, because while it will get cool and unfavorable in October, things can ramp up again in November with an active storm track from the Rockies into the middle of the nation. We are forecasting a below-normal tornado count in October but above normal in November,” Pastelok added. AccuWeather’s 2019 forecast released in February accurately
pinpointed the areas to be hit hardest this year, with a higher frequency of severe weather risks in the traditional Tornado Alley -- notably Oklahoma, Kansas, and parts of Texas -- than they had experienced on average the previous three years. So far this year, Texas, with 170 tornadoes, has experienced the most in the U.S., according to preliminary, unconfirmed data from NOAA. Kansas is second with 123, while Oklahoma with 90 is fourth behind Mississippi, which has had 94. NOAA’s preliminary reports show there have been 1,407 tornadoes in 2019, but that total is not a confirmed final number. There were 1,124 tornadoes in 2018, and the 25-year average is 1,199 tornadoes a year, according to NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center.

They’re back…were they here all along? Black bear tracks are few and far between as far north as Daviess County A Missouri Department of Conservation research project called Missouri Black Bear Project includes a map of bear sightings across the state, including three in Daviess County. MDC began the project to measure reproductive and survival rates of female bears in Missouri. Although black bears are native to Missouri, they were nearly wiped out during settlement. Now they’re making a comeback. Initial population research, which began in 2010, suggested a 2012 statewide estimated population of just under 300 bears. Most black bears are found south of the Missouri River, but they have been spotted as far north as the Missouri-Iowa line according to an interactive map on the Missouri Department of Conservations black bear research project. Sightings in the fields and forest of our area are few and far between. Bear sightings have been reported in Daviess County in 2005 southwest of Gallatin along

Marrowbone Creek; in 2008 just south of Gallatin near Honey Creek; and again in 2008, east of Gallatin along the DaviessDeKalb boarder. Each sighting was of a single bear. Current plans are to propose a limited harvest once bear numbers exceed 500 animals. Other research objectives include measuring black bear habitat use and movement patterns, identifying suitable but unoccupied habitat and to delineate travel corridors that link large tracts of suitable bear habitat in the state. Since the initiation of the Missouri black bear research project in 2010 through June 30, 2017, MDC has marked 145 black bears and has deployed collars on over 90 bears. Female bears will be monitored in the winter den to assess cub production, cub sex ratios and cub survival, in addition to survival, habitat use, and movements. Males will be monitored to assess survival, habitat use, movements, and breeding range. According to an article in Missouri Life called How Missouri Black Bears Came Back From Near-Extinction, written by Robert Langellier, in 1811, John Shaw’s contribution to the pioneering business was the finding that he could squeeze 800 gallons of bear oil from 300 bears. In 1818, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft— when he wasn’t chasing them on foot—marveled at the number of bears he witnessed in his famous trek across the Ozarks. In traditional pioneer fashion, Shaw and fellow muzzle-loading entrepreneurs nearly wiped out the Missouri black bear population within 80 years. High bag numbers combined with logging and homestead clearing in the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas
stressed black bears to their limit. Timber clearing in the Ozarks ramped up dramatically in the 1880s, and by 1890, an animal hardy enough to survive in the Alaskan subarctic and the Floridian subtropics was believed to be extinct in Missouri outside the Bootheel. In the low, remote swamplands of southeast Missouri, they held on into the 1920s, until the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 killed 500 Americans and took the rest of the Bootheel bears downriver. So the black bear was gone— sort of. Eventually, Minnesota bears trucked into Arkansas in the 1950s and ’60s by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission started wandering north into Missouri. In the ’50s, Missourians shot and killed all five bears reported in the state. But still they came. In 1991, a DNA study of Missouri bears revealed a surprise: some of those Arkansas bears had bred with remnant Missouri bears, who had apparently Bigfooted around out of sight in small numbers all this time. Healthy habitat and protections for bears have led to their modern resurgence.

Like losing an old friend...Lick Fork oak has split For Dennis Cox of rural Daviess County losing the huge oak located on the grounds of the Lick Fork Church southeast of Gallatin, is like losing an old friend. The mighty oak has stood guard over the church and cemetery for hundreds of years and probably saw the county’s first pioneers. The trunk of the tree has split, nearly halving the tree in two.

then-15-year-old victim discovered a hidden camera, designed to look like a cell phone charger plug, on Sept. 6, 2018. The victim opened the device and retrieved a micro SD card, which he inserted into his cell phone in order to view its contents. The card included a secretly-recorded video of the victim. The child victim turned the device over to investigators. On Sept. 8, 2018, investigators with the Clinton County, Mo., Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at Williams’s residence and seized a laptop computer and an SD card. Each of those devices contained pornographic videos of two more teenage victims who were secretly recorded in the basement bathroom.

Former Cameron teacher pleads guilty to pornographic videos of teenager, sentencing to be determined by court A former Cameron, Missouri, high school teacher pleaded guilty in federal court on Aug. 26 to secretly recording pornographic videos of a teenage victim in his bathroom, and admitted to secretly recording pornographic videos of two other teenage victims. William Derek Williams, 39, of Cameron, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to producing child pornography. Williams formerly was a high school language arts teacher and more recently a part-time high school multimedia teacher at the time of the alleged offense. During his guilty plea, Williams admitted that he secretly filmed three different victims over a five-year period from January 2013 to September 2018 while they were in the basement bathroom of his residence.

It was only slightly less in circumference than the McBaine Burr Oak.

The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.

Pauley powers Milan to 14-3 victory in GHS softball The arm and bat of sophomore Cady Pauley provided everything needed for a double digit victory for the Milan Lady Wildcats over Gallatin in Tuesday’s season and Grand River Conference opener held at the GHS field. Pauley clubbed a pair of home runs, walked three times, drove in four runs and pitched a one-hitter to lead her squad to a 14-3 win over the young and rebuilding Lady Bulldogs. Milan scored in all innings except the
third and fourth during the 2 ½ hour contest, including five runs in the sixth inning on just a pair of hits. Addie Riley’s single in the fourth inning scored Ella Bradford, who reached base due to a walk. Bradford scored again in the sixth inning along with Presley Wells. The Lady Bulldogs travel to Polo on Thursday for more GRC action and will participate in the Bill Hill Tournament on Saturday in Albany before coming

The tuition rate for out-of-district students to attend classes in the R-7 District at $6,308. The rate is based on the SAT money the state uses to calculate the district’s per pupil funding. The board selected the oneyear rate of 2.26% from Home Exchange Bank for a $150,000 certificate of deposit coming due. Approval was given to the state and local compliance plans for special education. The board also reviewed MSBA policy updates and discussed the budget, but took no action.

Dogs bring Panthers to bay, hope Hornets chase them at Friday’s game The Gallatin Bulldogs were able to keep the North Platte Panther offense off-balance on Friday by picking off four passes, recovering a fumble and chalking up three quarterback sacks. More of the same would greatly help their chances this week against a Hamilton team that has controlled the Highway 13 series since 2008. The Hornets have built one of the best Class 1 programs in Missouri with a well-rounded offense accustomed to putting up big numbers. This year’s version could be no different judging by last week’s start . Junior running back Sawyer Morrow, coming off a 1,873 yard, 26 touchdown season, racked up 177 yards and 3 TDs last week against Maysville. Senior quarterback Ryan Cook rushed for 137 yards last week with one TD after running for 625 yards (4 TD) and passing for 12 TDs in 2018. “Hamilton’s offense is still potent with Cook at quarterback and Morrow at running back,” said GHS Coach Patrick Treece. “Both do a tremendous job running the football and we will have to keep them bottled up to slow down their offense,” he adds. “I think our team speed will serve us well in that effort.” Hamilton enters the contest ranked #9 in the Class 1 media poll and #6 by Max Preps. Gallatin also has a #7 Class 1 ranking by Max Preps. Gallatin spotted Hamilton a 14-0 first quarter lead in last year’s meeting, only to fall short, 21-13, in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs would love to make the Hornets play catch-up football this time around. “The key to picking up our first win against Hamilton since 2007 is believing that we can do it,” says Coach Treece. “I don’t know if that belief has always been there in the past,” he added. “Playing Hamilton within one score last year was a huge
step for our guys in realizing that they can hang with them. I know that this team is different because I can feel it.” Gallatin grabbed an early lead against North Platte on Friday and the Bulldog defense kept the opposing offense off the field. Aidan Adkison scored on a first quarter run and quarterback Brinley Vandiver tossed a TD pass to Ross Critten to stake the Dogs to a 12-0 lead in the opening quarter. The Panthers cut their deficit to 12-6 in the second period but Critten added a touchdown run in the third quarter and the Bulldogs salted the game away with another Adkison scoring run and Drayton Harris interception and run back. Five Bulldog runners --- Adkison, Critten, Rodell Sperry, Jagger Gray and Gage Wright combined to average 6.7 yards per carry against the Panthers. Vandiver averaged 17.5 yards on four pass completions. Tristen Gibson picked off two Panther passes, the second setting the Bulldogs up on the Panther one yard line. Adkison and Harris chalked up interceptions. Harris forced a fumble, recovered by Carson Lang. JJ Waters registered 3 sacks from his defensive end position. “I think that I was most pleased with our defensive effort against North Platte,” said Coach Treece. “In particular, the way that our entire defense played as a unit and gave outstanding effort. I do have to say that as good as our tackling was at times, it was equally bad at times. We must work to improve our consistency when it comes to making tackles in the open field.”

Bad dream out west, Missouri opens season with 37-31 loss at Wyoming By Benjamin Herrold
For Tiger fans who made the trip out West to Laramie for Missouri’s season opening game on Saturday at Wyoming, it may have felt a bit like a dream when the mountains along I-80 beyond Cheyenne opened up and revealed a dramatic view of the Laramie Valley. Laramie is something of a hidden treasure, a great college town with cool mountain breezes even in late August, a fun downtown and campus area, and plenty of passion for their team. Cheers of “Go Pokes” filled the air before the game, and signs reading “The world needs more Cowboys” were spotted all over town. Unfortunately for the strong contingent of Tiger fans who made the unique trip, the game itself felt surreal as well. Missouri had a dream start, forcing punts and scoring touchdowns to go up 14-0. But it turned into a nightmare as the sun sunk lower toward the Snowy Range to the west and lit up the Laramie Range to the east with a golden hue, with Wyoming unleashing a furious 34-3 scoring run during the middle of the game on the way to a 37-31 win, giving Missouri a season-opening loss. The second quarter was quite possibly the worst in Barry Odom’s four seasons coaching Missouri, a sea of Missouri fumbles and long touchdown runs by the Cowboys. Wyoming’s lead swelled to 34-17 in the third quarter before Missouri began a frantic rally. The Tigers got within six and drove into Wyoming territory, but quarterback Kelly Bryant’s fourth-down pass fell incomplete, and Wyoming fans rushed the field in celebration. It was a brutal start for Missouri, immediately chipping away at some of the offseason’s excitement. The Tigers outgained Wyoming 537 yards to 389, but Missouri had three turnovers against none by the Cowboys, and all three hurt the Tigers pretty badly. Missouri struggled to run the ball against the Cowboys, an ominous sign. Bryant overall played pretty well, sidestepping pressure and making some good throws, although he did have a bad interception in the end zone and couldn’t quite finish off the comeback attempt.

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have government without newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
On the positive side, Arkansas transfer Jonathan Nance caught two touchdown passes and hinted at big things this year. But the positives took a backseat to the damage of the loss, one of the most surprising Missouri has had in terms of points spread expectations. Missouri was a 17-point favorite, and since 2000 the Tigers had never lost a game when they were favored by that much. Now Missouri comes home to face West Virginia (11 a.m. on ESPN2). The Mountaineers (10) began the season with a tight 20-13 win over James Madison. They are expected to finish near the bottom of the Big 12, but new coach Neal Brown seems to be a good one and could have them playing well. Missouri has the advantages of playing at home, probably having a little better roster, and facing a team in just its second game under a new coach. The Tigers should get a win here, and they certainly could use it.

Spectacular night show...So bright it was like daylight! Andrew Michael took these pictures of lightning during the storm Thursday night, Aug. 29, while standing on his grandparents’ deck in Daviess County. The pictures have already been shown on Fox and other major news channels. Kayla and David Michael live northeast of Gallatin on Lilac Avenue. Andrew said he used a Go Pro Hero Seven Black camera to get the photos. They were taken around 10:30 to 11 p.m. Along with the
lightning, the storm produced strong winds and about four inches of rain at the Michael’s house. Andrew graduated from College of the Ozarks this May with a degree in Video Productions. He has been helping his father (Doug and Angel Michael) with their farm this September. He also referees high school and college basketball. He lives in Branson. Look at more of Andrew’s lightning photos on his Facebook page under ADM Productions.
This photo was also taken on Aug. 29 by the Michael’s neighbor Dariyn Pettit.

Excuses, Excuses
Have you ever apologized for the actions of your partner?
Do any of these excuses sound familiar? He’s just stressed/tired/having a bad day/kidding He’s not that bad. At least he doesn’t hit me. He has a medical condition. He’s bipolar. He grew up in an abusive family. It’s all he knows. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have upset him He isn’t usually like this. He wasn’t always like this
If you are making excuses for your partner’s behavior, your relationship may be abusive. It’s okay to admit that you’re not happy. You deserve a healthy relationship. Start by holding your partner accountable instead of making excuses.

Water (continued from page 1) with opposite electrical charges to bond with contaminants and remove them; then run the water through filters to further clarify it.” He adds that water is monitored at the treatment plant and the distribution system on a regular basis and a report made to the Department of Natural Resources.

their homes, businesses and schools. “In recent years, the public has become more aware of regulations because of the issues that have been in the news,” says Barker. He says that when people realize that public water supplies must meet strict federal and state standards for water quality, they gain a higher confidence in water quality. “There are still many people who do not trust their public water supply for drinking water,” Barker says. “The use of bottled water has become the norm even though bottled water has not been regulated as stringently as public water supplies.”

The availability of water under pressure has another very important function — fire protection. Like most conveniences, we sometimes don’t fully appreciate how the public water supply service enhances our daily lives until we have a disruption. “All of us have become so reliant to be able to turn on the faucet and expect water to flow, if it doesn’t, we go into a panic,” Barker says. Just as the system has grown and evolved, so have the expectations of the people being served changed through the years. Citizens remain sensitive to their drinking water issues and the cost.
Proper management is the key to clean, reliable water for the future: protecting our water sources and using water wisely without wasting it. “Many districts in our part of the state have had issues with the shortage of water,” says Barker. “We are blessed with a very reliable source of raw water. Our biggest concern is with the growth of the Lake Viking community, at what point will we need to increase our capacity at the treatment plant. Looking forward and being prepared is the only way to avoid disruptions in service whether it be general maintenance or improvements. “
Water fuels growth… if lacking, then it’s economic stagnation A shallow glacial aquifer and only six wells — Northwest Missouri residents and businesses rely on a meager water supply for all their water uses. This fact limits economic development opportunities, such as value added processing of rural products, like meat processing and meatpacking, and grain crop processing, such as ethanol production. A study by the Department of Natural Resources in 2001 cites this lack of industry development opportunities as a major factor in out-migration of the population. “The lack of a consistent water source is a detriment when trying to bring new companies into the area,” says Lance Rains, Gallatin City Administrator. Mr. Rains points out that the lack of groundwater and insufficient surface water is one of the main reasons that the “Little Otter Creek Lake,” located in Caldwell County, and the “Locust Creek Lake,” located in Sullivan County are both so important to the region. The Caldwell County Lake was sized to provide for the raw water needs for Caldwell County. The Sullivan County Lake was sized to be the raw water source for up to 10 counties in the north central part of the state. Both lakes are based on supplying the area with a 100 year fix for raw water sources. Both lakes will be able to supply a service area that is currently lacking in both surface water resources as well as wells that are based on pumping water from underground aquifers. “In our area, we have the ability to produce more water than we are currently using but we couldn’t support a large user of water such as an ethanol plant without making some major improvements to our well fields,” Rains says.
about 2% is found in Northwest Missouri. The 1950s drought is the most severe extended drought of record for Missouri. The time period 1951 through 1959, the “drought of record” was used as a base for determining the adequacy of present reservoir water supply capability. A test drilling program conducted in northwestern Missouri in the 1950s traced an outline of numerous preglacial channels. The program found that the drainage pattern consists of nearly parallel streams trending north-south toward the Missouri River. This source of underground water moves through an aquifier — a layer of gravel, sand, or silt. This large aquifer stretches from the northwest corner to the southeast corner of the county. It is called the Muddy Creek alluvium. Everybody in the county, except for Lake Viking, gets its water from wells drilled into this aquifer.

City Water Systems
Daviess County gets its water from two sources: groundwater wells and one surface lake.
Surface Water Lake Viking serves the population in the immediate Lake Viking area. It’s the only surface water source in the county. Jamesport had a lake at one time, but the Jamesport Community Lake is no longer in service.
Groundwater The amount of usable groundwater is far less in northern Missouri than other parts of the state, according to the Department of Natural Resources. Only about 12% of Missouri’s potable groundwater is found north of the Missouri River and only

Daviess County’s public water system is a great asset. It’s a network of pipes and pumps that carry out its function so efficiently it almost goes unnoticed — unless something goes horribly wrong, as it did last year for Public Water Supply District #1 of Daviess County. Large calcium and mineral deposits clogged water lines, disrupting service to 717 water customers. Those customers lived south of the Grand River, and south of the old town of Pattonsburg, including Altamont, Weatherby and Winston. Most customers of the water district were out of water for six days, starting on Aug. 2, 2018. Some customers in the Weatherby area were out of water for 15 days.
