Regional jail to purchase new digital cameras Director Ed Howard reported to the Daviess County Regional Jail Board that he had received bids from three companies for new digital security cameras. The bids were from ADS for approximately $80,000; Midwest Digital for approximately $62,000; and Shawn Tech for approximately $69,000. He discussed the pros and cons of each company. The jail currently has 59 working cameras. The board agreed to purchase the new cameras from Shawn Tech, the jail’s current provider, at a cost of $69,000. Shawn Tech is out of Ohio with offices in Jefferson City. The purchase would consist of 63 cameras, removal of old wiring, and complete setup of the new system within 10 days. Director Howard noted that the upgrade to the digital cameras will provide better coverage of all areas of the facility and increase security. In other business at the Aug. 25 meeting, Bob Barker rescheduled bringing a van to the facility for viewing to Aug. 30. Deputy Director Tim Carder reported that a three-day training academy has been set up beginning Sept. 5. The training includes Pepper Spray, Instructor Mr. Howard; Tactical Communications, Instructor Gary Jones; Jail Procedures, Instructor Captain Atchison; Preparing Detainee for Transportation, Instructors Robert Kirkwood and Captain Atchison; Breakaway Defense with Cuffing, Robert Kirkwood. Training will be conducted in the trailer and at the annex. Mr. Carder also reported that beginning Sept. 1, if use of force is necessary, the documentation supporting the use of force will be

forwarded to designated members of the Daviess and DeKalb sheriffs’ departments for review. The purpose of this is to verify the jail is compliant with policies, procedures, and jail standards. Staff has been working on the annex, and has converted a portion of the building to a training center. Bids are currently being sought to replace the flooring. There was discussion surrounding the transport vehicles. The current fleet of vehicles is getting a lot of miles and requiring frequent maintenance. New transport vans will be priced for possible purchase this fall. Director Howard reported that within the next 30 days, staff will be providing a list to the Gallatin newspaper of items no longer needed at the facility, and will go through a bid process to sell the items. The financial report was accepted by the board as follows: sales tax revenue for July 28, $63,689.90; commissary grossed $9,084.99 in August 2017; CD account balances $239,677.26 and $100,838.05; sales tax account balance $645,884.73; operating account balance $112,747.76; accounts receivable $248,663.39; accounts payable $7,317.19; payroll account balance $1,570.41. The next board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 29. The above are the unapproved minutes of the Aug. 25 board meeting. Present were Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra; Daviess County Presiding Commissioner Randy Sims; DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Harold Allison; Ed Howard, director; Timothy Carder, deputy director; Lori Burke, administrative assistant.

Bright Futures rallies community to help with local student needs Bright Futures will hold a community kick-off breakfast at 7 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 8, at the Lions Club Building, 801 West Grand, in Gallatin. Bright Futures is a community-based action group which works to fill the unmet needs of children in the Gallatin School District. Bright Futures Gallatin is already in place on Facebook. Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri provided funding for Gallatin to begin the program. “As many as 60% of the students at Gallatin qualify for free

and reduced-price lunches, one of the main ways schools measure poverty,” said Elementary Counselor Shonna Morrison. “In reality the percentage is probably higher than that.” Teachers often pay for unmet student needs out of their own pockets, or the need may go unmet. Bright Futures is a way for the community to help take care of the needs of school age children. Bright Futures Gallatin has three goals: 1) Meet the child’s basic needs within 24 hours, whether

that need be lunch money or gym shoes. “It’s amazing what you can find when cleaning out a closet,” said Mrs. Morrison. “And the value and importance of helping needy children is considered by most to be more blessing than burden.” 2) Pull together a network of existing resources. The community partnership seeks to include individuals, businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent groups. 3) Create an emergency fund for students and families. Bright Futures asks of the community its time, talent and treasure. Volunteers may choose to cut hair, do arts and crafts, or help through programs like Lunch Buddy, which invites an adult to spend time building a relationship, encouraging and supporting the student. “Studies have proven that one caring adult can make the difference between success and failure for struggling students,” said Mrs. Morrison. Other programs which may be integrated into Bright Futures Gallatin are back-to-school supply drives and angel-tree family adoptions during the holidays. Also included in the Bright Futures framework is Service Learning, which teaches students to give back to their community. “We had a Service Day last year in May,” said Mrs. Morrison. “It’s a lesson day — for instance, counting canned goods for a math lesson — but it also teaches students to be loyal citizens. Instead of being given a hand out, they are given a hand up.” Bright Futures USA operates under the belief that when

About those clotheslines... by Freida Marie Crump

Taxing thoughts It is probably fair criticism against our President that while Houston and southeast Texas were dealing desperately with Hurricane Harvey, the President visited Missouri to talk about tax reform. Bad timing, you think? ...especially if you’re in need and on the receiving end of some of our taxes, like so many Texans. Taxes aren’t all bad; taxes enable good. Taxes keep some from hoarding money and actually work to keep money in circulation. That said, it is also entirely appropriate for the President to focus attention on tax reform. Improving the tax mess is long overdue. Our congressman, Sam Graves, was with President Trump at Springfield last Wednesday. What he said frames the conversation sufficiently: “Our tax code is up to 2.4 million words. That’s astounding – three times as long as the King James Bible. Tax simplification will help businesses create jobs and grow this economy, rather than spending hours complying with the tax code or having their decisions distorted by it.” The President put the topic in historical context: “In 1935, the basic 1040 form that most people filed had two simple pages of instructions. Today, that basic form has 100 pages of instructions, and it’s pretty complex stuff. The tax code is so complicated that more than 90% of Americans need professional help to do their own taxes.” But once past such attention grabbers or a general condemnation after pointing out a few obvious problems, I get confused. The tax code is just too complex. It makes life miserable for individuals and businesses unless you are among those providing tax guidance services. Much is being written about corporate taxes. I read about the weird American practice of double-taxation of overseas profits — weird because this country was founded in large part over unfair taxes. Surely there is truth that our multi-national corporations base decisions to push dollars and jobs outside the United States because of the complicat-

5,462

ed, onerous and downright unfair way we apply taxes. President Trump also wants to cut the corporate tax rate down to between 15% and 20% as a means of creating more high paying jobs for Americans. Most of us can comprehend the president’s suggestion of cutting the number of individual tax brackets from seven to three, and setting rates at 10%, 25% and 35%. Simplifying things sounds appropriate.

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

But on the other hand... a cut in corporate taxes will fatten profits and free up money to back campaigns of politicians who favor more tax cuts for the wealthy. Like they say, it takes money to make money. Some experts say the United States has not had such economic and political inequality since the Gilded Age. And they predict things will get worse. The last time levels of inequality were this high, the government created the estate tax. Yet now, in our frustration over our tax mess, we’re attacking the estate tax on both the state and federal levels. We need to be awake, to keep reading, and to try and understand more about what this means. Giving tax relief to the wealthiest Americans is outrageous. Most wealthy people earn their money through capital gains. The top capital gains rate is 20% — which is why you sometimes read those weird stories about some billionaire paying a lower tax rate than many working and middle-class Americans. The estate tax only applies to the wealthiest Americans. And those who pay that tax can certainly afford it. In fact, you might argue that the estate tax is one of the best protections against economic inequality.

Obviously, I am no economist (for vivid proof, just take a look inside my wallet). And, yes, I prefer reading about the Civil War than reading about our current confusing world. But I have read enough to understand we do not need to cut estate taxes, or worse, repeal them entirely. One expert (Karen Seal Stewart, PhD, of the organization Patriotic Millionaires) puts it this way: “A married couple can currently leave nearly $11 million to their heirs tax free, and there are many other ways for them to gift money before the tax kicks in. Each person can give another person $14,000 every year tax free (or a couple can give $28,000). “If they have two children, they can thus give away $56,000 tax-free every year to the children together — and more to their spouses or THEIR children. Thus, estate taxes are only assessed on what has not been gifted during life if these limits are followed. In 10 years a wealthy couple could gift away $560,000 to their two children.” Contrast that to our lot. Most of us are worried sick about paying bills, paying off the mortgage, getting any semblance of any kind of health care insurance, and saving ahead for our kids’ college tuition. And a retirement nest egg tends to be a pipe dream. Sound familiar? Balance that list against the 0.2% of Americans who will ever pay the estate tax. Beware of what politicians say about ...er, well, everything and especially about taxes. I’m gonna stop now. My head is throbbing from trying to think logically rather than just screaming “Cut All Taxes!” (which is what I really want to do). I haven’t yet even said anything about Missouri’s crumbling highways and our gas tax. But I’ll have plenty of time to think about that the next time I drive down I-35 to the city, choosing the smoother left lane (contrary to driver regulations) because the concrete on the right side is so rutted and rough. How ‘bout you?

Greetings from Poosey. Herb and I were doing a bit of traveling this week and drove through a tiny town that we seldom visit. We saw something I’d not witnessed in years. Three houses in a row sported clotheslines in their side yards. Like a billowed sea the shirts and sheets and pillowcases flapped in the September breeze. I got sudden attack of déjà vu. I can’t recall a single clothesline still in existence ‘round Poosey, a community that once proudly showed its underwear to the world every Monday morning. A young friend in Sunday School class complained of the slowness of her energy-saving electric dryer last week. Those of who once clamped wooden clothespins between our teeth could only sigh with the wisdom of recognition, having lived in the days when washing took at entire day and rain could completely ruin a Monday morning’s work. My most vivid memory of the clothesline was at Grandma’s farmhouse where we didn’t actually do much of the work, but ran amok amid fluttering white sheets. Her loads of high-strung laundry become our hiding places, our forts, our ghost costumes, and the birthplace of a thousand fantasies. Has there ever been a fragrance to equal the smell of a fresh-washed sheet as your 10-year-old nose skimmed the surface, cascading the fabric out in billows of luxurious make-believe? Grandma would caution us not to pull on her clothespins, but even she knew that an occasional dropped shirt was worth the effort to provide this weekly playground for young imaginations. And when the breeze out west was strong enough, the swelling sheets would balloon themselves up into waving sculptures. I can remember once running headlong into a flapping bedspread and smashing solidly into Grandma’s backside as she was reaching into her laundry basket. I apologized. She laughed. We both celebrated with Pepsi and peanut butter cookies. Grandma was too much of a Presbyterian to hang her underwear on the line, preferring instead to dry her panties in the pantry. But she made the exception when it came to Grandpa’s white long underwear. My cousins and I would pretend that his drawers were aliens from outer space as we took turns charging at the flailing Martian. It still amazes me how much fun we had without iPhones. Grandma’s choice of detergent was Ivory Flakes. I distinctly remember the morning she let me add the soap, carefully instructing me to measure out exactly one cup of Ivory. Wanting to excel in laundry management, I reasoned that if one cup of soap made your white things white, then two cups would cause them to absolutely sparkle. Grandpa spent the following week doing a great deal of itching and scratching. A friend of mine told me that she’d moved into a neighborhood whose strict covenant forbade outdoor clotheslines. The contract also prohibited basketball goals attached to garages, cars parked on the street overnight, outbuildings not attached to the main house, and trash cans left on the curb more than eight hours before pickup time. Sounds like no one had much fun in that neighborhood. I asked her if antique furniture was also banned in their headlong rush to forbid any traces of Americana in the neighborhood. I can still recall a few of Grandma’s hard and fast rules about the clothesline. You had to first run a damp cloth over the line before hanging any items since it served as a bird perch for the rest of the week. You hung socks by the toes, pants by the bottoms, the sheets and towels went on the outside lines so you could hide your “delicates” on the middle strings, and clothes will dry in freezing weather. Don’t forget the long forked pole to prop up the line to keep your sheets off the ground, and leaving pins on the line was the height of tackiness. I doubt that today’s children learn much from watching Grandma stuff clothes into an electric dryer. You can’t shout a greeting across the fence when you have your head in a Maytag, and you can’t learn a thing about your new neighbors by watching the lint blow out of their dryer vent. I once made the mistake of asking my mother why Grandma’s sheets smelled better than hers. This is akin to a new groom telling his bride that his mother’s fried chicken is tastier, but Mom was understanding. She’d grown up smelling those sheets. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Graves applauds end of DACA

Congressman Sam Graves issued the following statement after the President announced his decision to end the Obamaera executive amnesty known as DACA (Deferred Action for Child Arrivals). The President called on Congress to replace DACA with legislation before it fully expires on March 5, 2018. “DACA was passed without the consent of Congress or the will of the American people,” Rep. Graves says. “We are a nation of laws, and an unconstitutional executive order granting amnesty to illegal immigrants has no place in our legal system.” “President Obama himself acknowledged that he did not have the power to grant amnesty to entire groups of illegal immigrants before announcing DACA in 2012.” Rep. Graves continued: “I’m

County’s emergency director works on ambulance in Texas

CPT Sean Plotner with his Quilt of Valor, presented by Gallatin Chapter DAR member Elizabeth Plotner (Elizabeth is Sean’s mother).

Gallatin DAR presents Quilt of Valor Earlier this summer Gallatin Chapter DAR member, Elizabeth Plotner, traveled to visit her son, Captain Sean Plotner. She took with her on this visit a Quilt of Valor to present to him from the Gallatin DAR Chapter to show him the chapter’s love and appreciation for his service. Sean’s father’s is Col. Jeff Plotner, retired U.S. Army. Sean chose the Vicksburg National Military Park near the statue of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant as the location to receive his

quilt. He was very touched by the gift and sent his thanks home with his mother. The quilt was cut, pieced and bound by Gallatin DAR Chapter member Gina Dixon and was machine quilted by Quilts by David in St. Joseph. The Chapter members sent a signed personal message with best wishes and grateful appreciation from the Chapter. CPT Plotner lives at Fort Polk, La., and will deploy to Iraq this month (September 2017) to serve his country.

David Roll, Daviess County Emergency Management Director, is currently in Texas to help victims of the devastating floods and destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey. David served as a paramedic for 24 years and is currently employed full-time as a paramedic with American Medical Response, (largest ambulance service in the United States) which has a Missouri Operation headquartered in Independence. He also serves as a paramedic with the Community Ambulance District of Daviess County. On Monday, Aug. 28, David boarded a plane for Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, to help with the Hurricane Harvey Relief effort. American Medical Response recruited him for a disaster strike team. David wrote the following on

his Facebook page: “I know it seems like we are taking a lot of naps, but the truth is, it is hard for us to shut our brains down long enough to get restful sleep. So it is catnaps for us, a couple hours here, couple of hours there. The American Red Cross has provided us with personal care bags. God love ALL the volunteers (whichever group they are with) here supporting us as we await our deployment. We have cots to use, pillows and blankets that are passed out for our use. The blankets and pillows become ours, the cots stay where they have been set up. The Freeman Coliseum is air conditioned and it is downright COLD in here. Better enjoy it while we can. I have a GREAT team and we are all getting along rather well.” David was sent to El Camp Memorial Hospital on Thursday

morning, Aug. 31, for the team’s first assignment. Next they traveled to Gonzales Hospital for their first patient, whom they transported to another hospital about an hour away. Friday, Sept. 1, they returned to their base in San Antonio.

Final teen book review, librarian reviews offered This summer the Daviess County Library invited teen patrons to review their favorite books as part of the Summer Reading Program. The last teen review for this year follows, with reviews of new and notable books from local librarians. Inheritance Series Author: Christopher Paolini

Patron Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars: “I think it’s an awesome book. It comes in a series of four books. I think it brings reading to a whole new level. It’s a challenge to your imagination. It is definitely thrilling, fun, funny, exciting and adventurous. Read it!” -- Abigail, age 11 The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir

Adult ﬁction; Author: Jennifer Ryan

Available in audio CD, hardcover, ebook on Overdrive This book in five words or less: “Don’t tell a woman no.” This story takes place in England at the start of WWII. The village of Chilbury has sent many of the men to fight in the war. The Vicar decrees that the absence of men means that the choir must stop. The women of the town, led by a feisty new choir director, decide differently – and the Chilbury Ladies’ Choir is born. The lives of the people in the tiny village make for an exciting story. If you enjoy books from this his-

torical period and set in England, then this is a must read. With Love, Wherever You Are

Adult Non-Fiction; Author: Dandi Daley Mackall

This book in five words or less: “Learned things I never knew.” Mackall, a native of Hamilton, Missouri, tells the touching true love story of her parents via letters she recovered from their respective stints on various front lines in WWII. Many Daviess County locals will remember “Doc” Daley and his wife, Helen, from their long-running medical practice in Hamilton. An insightful memoir that reminded me that every neighbor and fellow townsperson has a story and a depth all their own that perhaps isn’t always readily evident. Clutterfree with Kids

Japanese Beetles invade, march across country unopposed By Tim Baker, Regional Horticulturist There are many examples of insects and diseases that are not native to North America which were introduced at some time to our continent. Some of these pests did not have any natural enemies in North America, and they spread at various rates, totally unopposed. A classic example of an introduced disease is Chestnut Blight, which essentially eliminated the native chestnut trees from the eastern United States. Today, the Japanese Beetle is found in almost all the states east of the Mississippi River and quite a few states west of the Mississippi, including Missouri. The first occurrence in Missouri was reported in 1934 in St. Louis. Today it is found in many other locations around Missouri. Japanese Beetles are not picky eaters, and are known to

feed on more than 400 species, including trees, shrubs, flowers, fruits, vegetables, field crops, and turf. In high numbers, they can skeletonize leaves, resulting in a plant with only a framework of veins. They also feed on the roots of plants, including lawns and golf courses. Japanese Beetles have a complete life cycle, which means they have an egg stage, a larval (grub) stage, a pupal stage, and finally an adult stage. Feeding damage is made by both grubs and adults. They overwinter as grubs about six to eight inches below the soil surface. In the spring they become active, feeding on roots. After pupating, they emerge as adults in June, and start feeding again. After mating, the females burrow into the ground to lay eggs. A single female may lay as many as 60 eggs. Japanese beetle adults are metallic green in color, with

copper-colored wing sheathes on their backs. On each side of their abdomen, they have six white tufts. They are not large, typically measuring about 3/8 inch in length. Insecticides are available to control Japanese Beetles, but they can be difficult to eliminate because of their potentially large numbers and ability to feed on different kinds of plants. Earlier, attempts were made to quarantine areas, but these proved futile. Even trapping did not work, as it was found to actually attract more beetles to the area where the traps were located. While Japanese Beetles have been in our Northwest Extension Region for over 15 years, they continue to move into new areas. In fact, I found one a few weeks ago at my house in Gallatin. That was the first one that I had seen in Daviess County.

Dogs get defensive, force 8 turnovers in victory over Maysville Four fumble recoveries… three which led to 17 points. Four interceptions ... two in the end zone that prevented a pair of TDs. And a shutout until less than a minute left in the game. Gallatin’s defense put up big numbers Friday night, numbers that translated into a 30-8 victory over defending GRC co-champion Maysville. The Bulldog defensive unit was responsible for tacking on 17 points against the Wolverines while taking at least 12 off the board for the hosts in the red zone. Getting back on track following the loss to Hamilton was the emphasis of practice last week, according to Bulldog Head Coach Patrick Treece. “I preached all week that we were moving on, learning from our mistakes and working to give ‘perfect effort’ on every play,” he said. “The boys played tremendously hard on Friday night and I couldn’t be more pleased with

the way they played, especially how disciplined we were defensively,” he added. Friday’s game quickly settled into a defensive contest but it was the Bulldog defense that dominated the field. Linebacker Cole McBee forced a Wolverine fumble that defensive end Graydee Rains scooped and returned for a touchdown late in the opening quarter. Rains repeated that feat in the fourth quarter with another scoop and dash to the end zone. “Graydee made a huge impact by scoring two touchdowns on fumble recoveries and Noah Engel made his presence known with 17 tackles,” Coach Treece said of his team’s defensive efforts. The Bulldogs nipped a potential Maysville scoring drive late in the second quarter when Caleb Boyd and Rian Critten

in Maysville’s hands but Gaven Gray intercepted a Mallon Cole pass at the one and returned it back out to the 18. Rains’ second fumble recovery and TD pushed the GHS lead to 23-0 early in the fourth quarter. The Wolverines fumbled yet another snap, this time recovered by Toney and returned inside the 10-yard line. Toney drew scoring honors from 7 yards out. Maysville finally got on the board with 33 seconds left in the contest when Nick Evans capped a long drive with a five yard run and Morgan Tait tacked on the two-point conversion. Once again the Bulldogs are moving on as they prepare for Polo, an opponent they have had trouble with in recent seasons. “We will be working hard this week to clean up some things and get better as a team,” Coach Treece said.

Boyd picked off the pass. Boyd would catch another pass, this time from Bulldog QB McBee for 62 yards over the middle as he outran defenders to the end zone. “Offensively, we were efficient in the passing game, going 7 for 10 for 155 yards with that touchdown strike to Caleb,” said Treece. “Corbin Toney added a touchdown run late in the game and Adrian Hernandez hit a bigtime 32-yard field goal in the third quarter to stretch it to a three score game,” he added. The Wolverines fumbled a snap from center early in the third period and Noah Engel recovered for Gallatin at the Wolverine 19. Facing fourth and six, Hernandez booted his first field goal of the season to lift the Dogs to a 17-0 advantage. Down by three scores, the Wolverines continued to probe the middle of Gallatin’s defense with their running game. Gallatin’s defense twice pushed the Wolverines back from the 4-yard line.

Jurors never witness this phase of selection

E ditor’s note: This continues a series of articles intended to increase the public’s understanding of the j udicial system and changes in the law. The previous article outlined the j ury selection process for those ordered to appear (the cited ex ample assumes 5 0 persons were summoned for j ury service on a felony criminal case that will be tried in one day). The following discusses the phase of j ury selection that j urors never get to witness.

by Circuit J udge R. Brent E lliott The attorneys have completed their questioning of the jury panel (voir dire), and the judge has ordered the jury panel removed from the courtroom to take up what are called “strikes.” First, “strikes for cause” are considered. Either the attorney for the defense, or the prosecuting attorney, may make a motion to strike for cause any jury panel member they believe cannot fairly and impartially hear the case. The judge can also strike a

panel member on his/her own motion if they are convinced the potential juror cannot be fair and impartial. Once strikes for cause are completed and entered into the record, the judge next will reduce the number of eligible panel members to 24. Peremptory strikes (strikes without providing a reason) are then taken by the prosecuting attorney, followed by peremptory strikes on behalf of the defense. (In a non-capital murder felony case, each side is entitled to 6 peremptory strikes.) There are now 12 persons remaining to serve on our jury. When court reconvenes, they will be seated in the jury box and administered an oath of service by the Circuit Clerk.

AMWORK O L S . erving

Note: I mentioned above the judge will reduce the panel to 24 persons. In our example, jurors 1 through 50 were seated for potential jury service. Assume panel members 8, 9, 18, 25, and 32 were stricken for cause. In reducing the panel to 24 eligible members, most judges simply eliminate all jury panel members whose assigned number is greater than 29 – 24 plus the five strikes for cause. Thus, the majority of the time, the higher the randomly assigned number, the less likely a person will be selected to serve on the jury. To the best of my knowledge, there is no hard and fast rule as to the manner in which the judge must reduce the panel. I have occasionally reduced the panel using a different method where all sides agreed to the variation prior to the selection process.

Robert included in his sermon a plea for donations to the Houston Flood Relief. Lake Viking Church is working with the Willow Meadow Baptist Church in Houston to help with flood relief efforts. The collection will continue until September 11. At that time, a check will be sent by Lake Viking Church to the Willow Meadow Baptist Church. If you are interested in making a donation, please contact the local relief coordinator, Jo Gould, at 660-605-2837. 100% of the money donated will be used for the victims of the flood. For the special music, Gary Jones did a rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner was sung. Following the worship service, donuts and coffee were served as everyone enjoyed a time of fellowship. The Ladies Bible Study Group will meet at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. That evening the Youth Group will meet at 6:30 p.m. and the Adult Evening Bible Study Group will meet at 7 p.m. Gallatin First Bap tist Church Welcome and announcements were given. Rick Willett led intercessory prayer, and Kayce Terhune presented the special music. Bro. Garrett Trunk presented part two of his message from Luke 4:31-5:26, “6 Reasons Jesus Possesses Authority.” Bro. Garrett led Bible Study on Sunday evening, and Celebration of Life was held after evening worship. Pioneer Club/JOY Youth will meet at 5:30 for the evening meal with Bible Study from 6 - 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday evening. Ladies Bible Study will begin on Tuesday, September 19, at 6:30 pm. The study is entitled “The Excellent Wife” by Martha Peace. We will meet in Rick Wil-

lett’s Sunday school classroom downstairs. Nursery services will be provided. Please contact Jen Trunk to order your book. Gallatin First Christian First Christian Church began the 8:20 a.m. worship service with the praise team leading the congregation in song. Kathy Burns shared announcements and lead opening prayer. Sandy Evans gave the children’s message, and Pastor Corey Norman preached from Romans 10:9-10, “Reset Salvation,” at both services. The link to our newsletter and to the recording of Sunday’s sermon can be found at http://www.gallatinmofcc.org/. Prayer concerns this week are for the family of Max Creason, family of Dr. Larry Dowell, Jeanne Bowman, Gordon Daily, and Jim Lasher. Altamont U nited M ethodist The adult Sunday School lesson was “Making a Promise, God Establishes a Covenant with Noah, Genesis 9:8-17. The Labor Day special song was “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” A beautiful flagpole honoring the American flag and Christian flag was erected by John Anthuis and workers last Thursday. This is a bright spot to our corner. Amy designed a metal cross at the top of the pole. A very nice crowd attended the homemade ice cream social Sunday evening. It was a happy occasion for friends, relatives, and church family. James and Lisa sang a closing duet, the 23rd Psalm. Our prayers are for Clint Toney and David Roll helping in the city of Houston, Texas, with electrical and medical response with Hurricane Harvey. UMW will meet with Pastor Marilyn in Chillicothe on Wednesday, September 13.

Thank You

I would like to thank everyone who came to my reception, called, sent cards, flowers and gifts for my retirement. A special thank you to the girls at work for all they did to make it such a special day for me. It's been an honor to serve as Daviess County Assessor and I thank you for all your support these past years.

Gallatin FFA provides 31 blood units On Aug. 30 the Gallatin FFA Chapter hosted an emergency blood drive located in the high school commons. Eighteen members of the chapter worked the recovery table, providing those who donated with cold drinks and snacks. Many high school students showed up to donate blood for the first time. This helped to make the blood drive a huge success. There were 36 units of blood collected and 31 units approved for use. The Community Blood Center will travel to Texas to provide flooding and hurricane victims with blood and platelets. “Gallatin FFA members were happy to serve their community and to help with the recent natural disasters,” said Bethany Bailey, Gallatin FFA Historian. “This shows that Gallatin FFA members are living out the words of the FFA Motto in their activities by living to serve.”Online photos at www.NorthMissourian.com courtesy of BTC Bank.

Maysville’s Emily Brown celebrated her birthday on Tuesday in a big way. The sophomore first baseman doubled twice, homered twice and drove in seven runs to lead her team to a 14-4 victory over Gallatin in GRC East Division play at Bulldog Field. The Lady Wolverines built a 7-1 lead after two innings but the Lady Bulldogs rallied for three more runs in the bottom of the fifth as Caragan Baker tripled home Kelsey Maxwell (walk) and Hayley Michael (single). Aubrey Feiden singled to drive in Baker and closed the scoring gap to 7-4. Maysville went on to pad its lead with two runs in the sixth and five runs in the top of the seventh inning. Maxwell and Courtney Shubert also hit safely for Gallatin in the game. Maysville also captured the junior varsity contest, 8-4. Jerilynn Hoover drove in two runs

for Gallatin with a pair of hits. Carli Beck scored twice. Aubrey Burns also had a hit for the Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Bulldogs scored three times in the sixth inning and added an insurance run in the seventh in a 4-1 conference victory over Princeton last Thursday. Shubert drove in Michael (walk) in the sixth with a sac fly. Salmon doubled home Feiden (single) and Baker (hit by pitch) in the inning. Feiden’s rbi-single in the seventh plated Maxwell,

who had singled with one out. Salmon scattered six hits and struck out seven Lady Tigers in earning the win on the mound. The GHS junior varsity squad tied the game at 6-6 in the top of the third inning but Princeton pushed a pair of runs across in the bottom of the frame to take an 8-6 decision. Hannah Miller, Macie McNeely, Morgan Glidewell, Carli Beck, Maddi Michael and Bethany Bailey all singled for the Lady Bulldogs. Beck led the team with two runs batted in.

State Fair success for Gallatin FFA Results from the 115th annual Missouri State Fair FFA Build are in, and the Gallatin Chapter had an impressive showing at the fair. For various field crop seeds, plants, hay samples, fruits and vegetables, and preserved goods, chapter members earned 62 bronze, 75 gold, and 100 silver ribbons. Gallatin notched four reserve grand champions: Calvin Grady for his Birdsfoot Trefoil and Rye Straw, Graydee Rains for his corn stalks, and Klayton Lynch for his alfalfa hay. Three grand champions were also awarded: Graydee Rains for his soybean plants, Kase Critten for his sweet clover, and Kelli Lynch for her alfalfa hay. The chapter also won the field crops sweepstakes award and will be presented with a plaque to display in the agricultural building at a later date.

Albany farmer innocent of federal charges On Aug. 28, a federal jury found Ryan A. Ruckman, 60, innocent on all eight counts of the grand jury indictment. In the four-day trial, Ruckman was defended by Kenneth Hensley, a Raymore attorney from Albany. Ruckman was accused of defrauding the government of $800,000 through loan applications. Ruckman’s troubles began in February when a grand jury indicted him on the eight counts of loan application fraud. At the time of the indictments, Ruckman owned and operated

farms in the Missouri counties of Gentry, Daviess, Harrison, Nodaway and Worth as well as counties in southern Iowa. The indictment alleged Ruckman defrauded the government by claiming federal benefits in his son’s name in order to receive additional payments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the indictment, Ruckman used the proceeds of the fraud scheme to make payments on approximately $2.9 million in farm operating loans at Midstates Bank, Harlan, Iowa.

The jury said Ruckman wasn’t guilty. If found guilty, the government could have forced Ruckman to forfeit to the government any property obtained from the proceeds of the alleged fraud. Ruckman lost his job after the indictment, and he and his wife filed for bankruptcy. “The farm, home, equipment and livestock are all gone,” Ruckman stated. “Our goal is to get our lives back after this heavy burden has been lifted.” In the interim, Ruckman has been successfully working for an agricultural chemical company.

Health Department offers cholesterol screenings on Tuesdays in September The Daviess County Health Department is offering a Lipid Panel for free for Daviess County Residents on the following dates in September from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5; Tuesday, Sept. 12; Tuesday, Sept. 19. This is a fasting test and you must not eat or drink after midnight the night prior to the test. Because this is a screening, you will not need to obtain a doctor’s order or call for an appointment. You must be 18-years-old or older, walk in on the above dates between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., and be fasting. Your results will be mailed to you around the end of the week. The cholesterol screening (lipid panel) includes the following; Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and Cardiac Risk Ratio. The regular price for a lipid panel is $110. The Daviess County Health Department charge to you is $0. High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the United States. Lowering cholesterol levels reduces the risk of heart disease death among persons either with or without coronary heart disease. What is Cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in all body cells. Our bodies use cholesterol to digest food, make hormones, build cell walls, and perform other important functions. Our bodies make cholesterol in the liver. Dietary cholesterol comes only from animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs, and animal fats. If blood cholesterol is too high, we can have health problems such as narrowing or blocking of blood vessels, heart disease and strokes. M easuring Blood Cholesterol 200 or less is desirable. If your level is more than 200, ask your healthcare provider when you should have it rechecked. 200-239 means you are at moderate risk for heart disease and stroke, especially if you have other risk factors such as obesity or high blood pressure, if you are a smoker, or if you have family history of heart disease. 240+ means you are at high risk for developing heart disease. Ask your healthcare provider what you can do to lower your cholesterol. Low D ensity Lip op rotein ( LD L) LDL cholesterol is deposited on artery walls. They cause a waxy buildup called plaque. It is known as “bad cholesterol”. Optimal LDL levels are less than 100 mg/dl or lower if you have heart disease or diabetes or other risk factors (such as family history of heart disease, or if you smoke). Optimal LDL levels are less than 130 mg/dl if you have no risk factors for heart disease. Can I Lower M y LD L Level? Lose weight if you are overweight. Reduce intake of saturated fat found in dairy products, cheese and meat.

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley continues to widen his investigation of opioid manufacturers, announcing the issuance of civil investigative demands to seven major opioid manufacturers. These investigative demands require the manufacturers to provide documents and information relevant to the Attorney General Office’s ongoing investigation of the pharmaceutical industry’s marketing practices for opioids. The office issued investigative demands to Allergan, Depomed, Insys, Mallinckrodt, Mylan, Pfizer, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. “Our office is dedicated to stemming the tide of opioid abuse in Missouri,” Hawley said. “We hope that our continuing investigation will aid the fight to build a healthier Missouri and end this epidemic in our state.” The investigative demands seek documents and information related to the companies’ opioid marketing practices and their involvement with industry organizations that promoted opioids. In June, Hawley filed a lawsuit against three large drug manufacturing companies—Purdue Pharma, Endo, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals—in the Circuit Court of St. Louis City. That lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants fraudulently misrepresented serious risks posed by the opioids that they manufacture and sell. “Our investigation into those companies that manufacture and market opioids is ongoing,” Hawley said. “We must put an end .to this crisis as we fight for the. thousands of lives endangered by the opioid epidemic.”

Reduce intake of hydrogenated fats (trans fats) found in French fries, snack crackers, cookies, baking mixes, shortening, butter and stick margarine. Use monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as canola, olive, safflower and sunflower oils when cooking. High D ensity Lip op rotein ( HD L)

HDL takes extra cholesterol out of the body and is called “good cholesterol.” Desirable HDL levels are greater than 40 mg/dl. Optimal levels are greater than 60 mg/dl. A level of 60 or more is considered protective against heart disease. To raise your HDL level: L ose weight if you are overweight. Ex ercise regularly (consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any ex ercise program). Don’t smoke. Replace saturated fat with unsaturated fats. What about Triglycerides? Triglycerides are a fat that the body makes from alcohol, sugar, or excess calories. High triglyceride levels may add to buildup of plaque in the blood vessels (atherosclerosis). High triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease. L ess than 1 5 0 is a normal triglyceride level. 1 5 0-1 9 9 is considered borderline high. 2 00-4 9 9 is considered high. 5 00 or more is considered very high.

LITERACY IN A DIGITAL WORLD LITERACY FACTS AND DEFINITIONS Literacy encompasses more than reading and writing. It is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, compute and communicate using a variety of materials across disciplines. Digital literacy is the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.

Literacy Lessons Global Connections Collaboration is an essential part of the digital world. Check online for pen pal organizations that match classes with one another. Students can share information about favorite books, preferred genre or interesting articles read online with their pen pals. These emails or messages will expand the world for students at both ends of the chain, as they learn more about different countries and cultures.

UNESCO reports that globally at least 758 million youth and adults cannot read and write and lack digital literacy skills. Make the decision to work for literacy in your home, community and the world.

Learning Standards: I can reread, revise for audience and purpose, ideas and content, organization and sentence structure, and word choice. I can make text-to-world connections.

Critical Thinking Thinking critically is a key component of literacy. Have students read the same newspaper story and identify the who, what, where, when, why and how as well as the main idea and at least two pieces of supporting information. Discuss what they found. Did they all identify the same 5 Ws and 1 H, the main idea and supporting details? Did the story bring up other questions? Students should email the reporter with questions or to ask for more information.

Learning Standards: I can identify and explain the relationship between the main idea and supporting details. I can

Gallatin native lives his dream as full-time musician by T.L. Huffman, GNM staff writer

Jim Harlow, a Gallatin native, has lived the dream of a lot of young people — he’s been a full-time musician for 30 years and traveled the United States with two or three bands. Jim grew up in Gallatin. His father was Van Keith Harlow and his mother was Virginia. Van Keith ran Harlow’s Drug Store, once located on the east side of the square. Jim has two brothers, Terry and Ron. “My dad grew up in Gallatin and worked for Davis Drug as a child,” said Jim. “He went to college and became a pharmacist. He joined the navy at 22 and served in the Pacific Theater as a pharmacist on ships. He said it kept him out of a fox hole.” Besides being an Eagle Scout and involved in Boy Scouts, Jim was always musically inclined. His first bookings were playing in Gallatin in 1960 with his grandmother, Murl Marie Harlow. Jim, Frank Tolen and Lynn Mundell had a group called The Lefty Trio. It was directed by Murl. “We were always around, at all the churches and fairs,” Jim said. “We played music written from 1890 to 1910. Murl played the piano. We wore costumes with straw hats and carried canes. Then we got into folk music.” After graduating from GHS, Jim studied pre-journalism at the University of Missouri at Columbia. “I gave MU two years,” he said. “Then the band started being successful with its music, playing nightclubs.” Jim had a stint traveling in Western Europe when he was 21. “Back then, people would take you in. You weren’t afraid of being robbed or murdered, like you hear about today.” He lived in Amsterdam for three months and hitchhiked all over.

“That was my little rebellious stint,” he said. “I sold my car and did nothing. It was worth it. The car was only worth $850, but the adventure was priceless.” He got a student ticket back to Kansas City and then settled down to play music. Jim played with the Camp Harlow Band; Jolly Brothers (he was backup to two brothers whose names were Jolly); and then had a band under his own name for several years, the Jimmy Harlow band. “We played rock ‘n roll mostly and rhythm and blues,” he said. “That’s how we represented ourselves, but we could pull about anything off.” Jim said he was never into the drug scene and things were not as wild as people might imagine. “On the road, playing across America, most of the time we had fun,” he said. “Some of the clubs were dingy, but you take it as it comes. We stayed in decent hotels most of the time. I’ve written many songs and we put out several albums, but never had a hit. We made a living wage.” Jim also always had side jobs. He worked as an audiovisual manager in hotels for 14 years. Currently, he works as a concierge at One Park Place Condominiums, south of downtown Kansas City. Jim can play the guitar and banjo, but he is known as a piano player. His band, Camp Harlow, was named for himself and Greg Camp from St. Joe. It was a five-piece band. “We played The Levee, a famed night club in Kansas City for 20 years,” Jim said. “We were the Saturday matinee band.” After Greg died at age 60, Jim kept up the band. He would bring in guests or play as a four-piece band. Jim is semi-retired, but he still plays his music if asked.

Musician Ji m H arlow grew up in Gallatin. W hile he was a high school student at GH S, he wrote stories in the sports section of the Gallatin newspaper for Jo e Snyder and worked at the newspaper o ce. oe Snyder was a great friend of mine, even though I was a youth and he was an adult, im said. loved him and his family. “I’ve been gone so long from Gallatin; there are only a few people that live there I still know. After I graduated in 1968, everybody went their own way.” He is married to Gail Ann Harlow. She retired after 36 years at the Kansas City Star, the last 30 in circulation. They have a son, Van Keith Harlow, 29, named after his grandfather. “I was never really what you’d call famous,” Jim said. “In Kansas City people know me, in St. Joe people know me. But I got to live the life I wanted to live; my music was my career.”
