New storm siren for Jamesport

Daviess County Emergency Management Director David Roll has been working on behalf of the City of Jamesport to obtain a new outdoor storm siren and on Sept. 5 one was installed. The storm siren is located west of the Jamesport Fire and Rescue building. Storm sirens are designed to warn people while they are outdoors — NOT to warn people in their homes. People in the community may or may not hear the siren from within their homes. That is why when the threat of

severe weather is looming, people are advised to tune into local television and radio stations, and also have a National Weather Service weather radio handy. The effort to obtain a new storm siren for Jamesport began in late 2018 with a look at costs and location. Funding sources through federal and state grants were examined to see which would offer the best option. Early on, an opportunity to purchase and install a storm siren from a decommissioned nuclear power plant was made available at half

the cost of a brand-new siren. Blue Valley Public Safety, out of Oak Grove, had obtained these sirens and was selling them for $6,000 a piece with another $6,000 for the pole, installation, hookups, etc. The siren had been in use at the nuclear power plant for under 14 years and included all service records. It was an opportunity that could not be passed up. David Roll met with the Jamesport City Council and Davie Davis of Jamesport Fire and (continued on page 3)

of domestic assault second degree, and one D felony count of endangering welfare of a child. Amended information was filed the morning of the trial, with two of the kidnapping charges dis-

missed. A jury panel of 42 was called. The jury was released for deliberations at 4:53 p.m. and returned at 6:18 p.m. with the verdict. (continued on page 3)

Dog dies after being stabbed by man On Sept. 9, officers responded to an emergency call from a location on Lake Viking Terrace, Altamont. Suzanne Wildman made the call, stating that her son, Bronson C. Wildman, 20, had stabbed her and their dog and that he was attempting to kick down a door at the residence. When officers arrived, Suzanne exited the residence crying and covered in blood. A white and tan dog was also located, bleeding profusely, with multiple stab wounds and lacerations. The dog later died from the injuries it had sustained. Upon entry to the residence officers found copious amounts of blood. Bronson was located inside the residence, covered in blood. A black pocket knife was located in his right front pants pocket. On further examination it was determined that Suzanne did not have injuries. A search of the residence revealed multiple marijuana plants cultivated inside the residence, as well as harvested marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia in Bronson’s bedroom. It was determined that Bronson is an authorized cultivator and user of medical marijuana with the State of Missouri as of Aug. 26, 2019. The probable cause statement, prepared by Daviess County Deputy Caleb D. Ireland, states that he believes Bronson was under the influence of marijuana and that marijuana could be a contributing factor for the crime. He also thought the dog was intentionally stabbed, mutilated and purposely killed for an unknown reason. Wildman was charged with animal abuse second/subsequent offense or by torture and/or mutilation while animal was alive, E felony. He has a suspended driver’s license, with pending driving while intoxicated charges. He was transported to DDCRJ, with bond set at $15,000.

Commissioners look to Corps of Engineers for help with Magill Daviess County Commissioners met with Damon Slaughter, project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) out of the Kansas City District, on Sept. 6 to try to find a solution to the erosion of the Grand River on both sides of the Magill Bridge. The objective is to save the bridge through stream bank stabilization. The Corps of Engineers will evaluate if the Section 14 Streambank Protection Program can be applied to this situation. Section 14 of the Flood Control Act of 1946 provides a program through which the Corps of Engineers can plan, design, and construct measures to provide emergency protection projects for public infrastructure that is being imminently threatened by stream

erosion. Qualifying structures include but are not limited to roads, bridges, and waterlines. Protection measures often include large rocks placed to protect the toe of the stream bank, rock along the bank, and rock dikes or weirs to safely guide the flow of water. Structures are designed to allow the stream bank to restore itself over time and result in natural vegetation, which adds further protection. Many such projects have been successfully constructed over the years in partnership with MoDOT, counties and cities. Jim Ruse, Presiding County Commissioner, said 130 feet had eroded from the base of the pier of the bridge between March and August — a huge change. “We’re look-

ing for help,” he said. “We’re all ears.” Most days, the flow of the Grand River is shallow and tranquil. But when the river rises with the rains, it roars. This has been an unusually wet year, and the Grand River has come slamming around a curve right before where the river straightens ... doing damage to the banks as it careens around. On the south side of the bridge, Saber Road is now in a cornfield; the cornfield has a couple of little lakes in it; and the field access road has been washed away. The north side has fared no better. Warren Hemry, a farmer who owns land a little way along the north side of the river, said about 40 acres of his cropland, and the willows and cottonwoods that once lined the bank of the river, have been eaten away by the channel flow. Mr. Slaughter acknowledged the problem for farmers, but said assistance through the Section 14 program cannot be used solely for privately owned lands, but is limited to publicly owned infrastructure — i.e. the bridge. Projects often provide some ancillary benefit to adjacent lands. Before visiting the site, Mr. Slaughter said he did a Google Earth search from 2015, which showed the erosion on the south bank. He did a Google Earth search for 2017, which showed the erosion on the north bank. The amount of total erosion was impressive enough for him to respond: “Holy crap!” He took measurements of how far the bank was from the bridge and will compare that to the historical Google Earth images. This will give them a rate of erosion. He said. “We can then estimate that it will be X number of years before we lose the bridge.” The commissioners contacted the Corps of Engineers and requested assistance through Section 14 program. Mr. Slaughter said his preliminary assessment, which he did during the meeting, would be at no cost. This assessment would be to determine how fast the banks are eroding; that is, how many years will it take the river to reach the abutment of the bridge. Next, the commissioners will submit a formal request for assistance. The Corps of Engineers will then confirm

OPINION

Sept. 11, 2019

Picking up a hitchhiker “Go take a hike” has a new meaning for me. In times past it sometimes was negative (as in “leave me alone … go jump in a lake!” or an admonition to exercise when the only thing I wanted to do was vegetate on the couch). But now there’s more to this. For the past couple of weeks we trekked many paths in the Pacific Northwest after attending a family wedding at Seattle. This was our first experiences on the west side of the Rockies and, despite our preparations, I didn’t quite know what to expect. Visiting Mount St. Helens even now, 39 years after its major volcanic eruption, was a must; touching the Pacific Ocean while driving through Oregon along Highway 101 was a highlight. The real item we wanted to mark off our bucket list was hiking through the Redwoods of California. I snapped many photos along various trails, unable to capture their grandeur. After more than two days of driving tours and hiking, I was still gawking at that last tall timber we passed as if it were the very Off the Editor’s Spike... first one. And someday we hope to go back. In one of the national parks off Highway 101, we missed Founders Grove.

How I overcame the vicious cycle of worry and fear in my life

eware...

Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in order to inform you of the ways I have been scammed over the internet in the past two years. First, I was contacted via a letter form Spain, informing me I had won 4.5 million dollars from Dr. Anthony’s group on May 23, 2018. They managed to con me out of my savings and some oldage social security over the next year. Then I was scammed by Joe Miller who promised he was going to send me 10 million in cash because I had won it via Publishers Clearing House. I proceeded to pay about $8,300 to him over a few months time. Nothing was ever received. Then in the last few months, several other scammers have evidently gone together or separately to scam me out of more money using Visa Vanilla gift cards via my credit cards. Some of their names are Michael Brown, Mr. Motts and Betty Motts, Peter Blake and Patrick Allen (whom I had paid cash for his cards). The prevalent way they do it is by convincing people that the way of transferring the money over from Spain, for instance, is that it has to go through customs and is subject to about $45,000 in customs fees which are fully refundable after you receive the prize. Then there are fees for changing the money from Euros to dollars and for delivery fees. This was the case with the Dr. Anthony group. We even made arrangements to meet at a bank in Trenton, and, of course, none of his fellow scammers showed up. In the other cases, most payments of the 1% upfront payments were in the form of gift cards sent over the phone, which they proceeded to zero out rapidly. In all cases, they received the money off the gift cards, and I never received any of the prizes promised. Otherwise, postal money orders and cash were sent to some of their so-called accountants in the United States, and then transferred to them wherever they are located. These folks do their conning from other nations so that our police cannot prosecute them. A lot of them are already multimillionaires. Remember, legitimate winnings off of lotteries and Publishers Clearing House prizes are free. I am writing this information so that other, wiser people will not be taken in by their lies and deceit. I know that these people will end up chained to Satan after the final resurrection and exist in outer darkness, rather than eternal glory. Christ said to succor (provide for) the poor, the widows and orphans. He did not expect them to be suckered by rich internet gangsters. In the meantime, if you want to help a poor, almost bankrupt, citizen of Gallatin, please encourage your friends and family to use your local motel. During the past 12 years, I have been able to stay open because of friends like you, but even my backup money is gone, and my social security is being spent on loan money used to pay for the stupid gift cards. I had hoped they would be bringing me a lot of money, but they have done just the opposite. Thanks again. Andrean Warner, Gallatin

New storm siren Rescue. It was decided that each would fund half the project, with board approvals. Both the Jamesport City Council and the Jamesport Fire and Rescue board approved the project and funding. For insurance and liability reasons, it was best determined that the City of Jamesport would take ownership of the storm siren. A final quote was received from Blue Valley Public Safety of $12,045 that included the siren, pole, installation, programming, battery packs, and an antenna. Jamesport Fire and Rescue paid $6,000 towards the project and the City of Jamesport paid $6,045. A sales consultant with Blue Valley Public Safety, Bruce Fisher, met with Daviess County Emergency Management Director David Roll, Jamesport City Council member Gary Alexander, and Jamesport Maintenance Worker Ray Bontrager in Jamesport to do a site survey. The

(continued from page 1)

survey was to make sure the proposed installation location would provide the maximum coverage for the community. The location was identified and marked but later had to be moved another 65 feet after Kansas City Power & Light (KCPL) expressed some concerns about the pole being too close to a transformer. The siren was installed on Sept. 5. It will be programmed to be operated remotely via radio frequency from either a select few handheld radios or by Daviess County Central 911 Dispatch. There are still a few additional costs that will be taken care of regarding the programming of the siren’s remote functioning with Daviess Central 911 Dispatch. There will be some final stages to complete over the next several days and testing that will be conducted to make sure that the siren is operating correctly.

if the problem qualifies for Section 14, and if it does, they can conduct a feasibility study. This study will analyze the current conditions, several methods to stop the erosion, and the cost/ benefit tradeoffs. The economic benefits of a project must outweigh the project costs, and are based upon protecting the bridge and preventing long traffic detours. Mr. Slaughter said, “Benefits

include the impact to the public if we lose the bridge and the maintenance cost to the public if they have to drive 20 miles to a detour.” Mr. Slaughter said usually the least costly alternative that can protect the bridge is the one that would be recommended. He said these projects typically will take a year to determine feasibility, a year to decide the design, and a year to construct the design.

Do you ever get stuck into that vicious cycle of worrying where you get overwhelmed with worrying and fearful thoughts? In return, this creates more panic and worry and eventually you can’t function because you are a basket case. I struggled with fear, anxiety, and stress for over 20 years. Eventually, I was able to overcome the endless cycle of fear and anxiety. Here is a brief summary of what I did to get better. 1. I got advice from the professionals: The first thing I did was to talk to various counselors since they knew how to deal with fear and anxiety. Whenever I talked to the counselors, I would always bring a notebook and take notes so I would not forget the advice that was given to me. I then used their advice to overcome my anxiety issues. 2. I became an expert on dealing with fear and anxiety: I did everything possible to learn as much as I could in how to deal with my fears and anxiety. As a layman, I talked to professionals, read books, joined support groups, and learned from my experiences. I never stopped learning on how to handle my anxieties. 3. I surrounded myself with helpful people: I made it a habit of surrounding myself with supportive people who understood what I was going through. During some of my anxious times,

Jury convicts (continued from page 1)

According to the probable cause statement, Sturgeon aggressively shouted at his girlfriend and physically detained her from leaving their joint residence on Oct. 15, 2018. He pushed her and her son onto the floor and held them there until another person in the residence intervened. Sturgeon then released his girlfriend but continued arguing and blocking her from leaving until the witness intervened again. Sturgeon was arrested by the Gallatin Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Daviess County Prosecutor Annie Gibson. Kyle J. Fisher represented Sturgeon, and the case was heard by Judge Ryan Horsman. Earlier, a jury trial for Sturgeon which had been scheduled for May 30-31, 2019, was canceled when the original five charges were dismissed on May 19 and then refiled on May 23, 2019.

Scamming abounds… Beware! Beware! According to the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, there have been many various types of scams which are affecting Daviess County residents. These may be through your land line or your cell phone. Please do not give out any of your personal information to anyone over the phone. A few rules to remember: • If it’s too good to be true, then it is not true! • The sheriff ’s office does not call to tell you that there is a warrant for your arrest, nor will any other type of agency call you. • Medicare will not ask for

your banking information or Medicare numbers over the phone. • Your social security number will not be suspended and is not in jeopardy of expiring. If the scammer is saying they are from an institution that you do business with (i.e. credit card, charge card or bank), hang up and call back using the number on your personal statements, not the number from the telephone ID or the number they give you. These are just a few helpful hints. Always be aware of who is calling. The sheriff ’s office is not

equipped to stop these scammers, but can advise you what you can do to prevent them from getting your personal information. If you have any questions, please call us at 660-663-2031.

one of my good friends gave me a hard time and was not very supportive. I tried to explain my situation to him, but he would not listen. One day, I got mad and told him to leave me alone if he was to continue getting on my case. He later apologized and was more understanding. 4. I learned how to manage my fearful thoughts: The key in overcoming the cycle of worry and fear is overcoming your fearful thoughts. Whenever I would get a negative and fearful thought, I would challenge that thought with positive statements and realistic thinking. I also made it a habit to focus on the facts of my current situation and not on my negative thoughts. 5. I was persistent: There were many times I felt like giving up because my fears and anxieties were so powerful and I didn’t know what to do. I worried about what would happen and that just made my fears that much stronger. During those times, I would consult with a professional and I made it a point to learn from my experiences so that I would be better able to handle these situations in the future. 6. I did not make excuses: With a lot of practice, I became very good at dealing with my fears and anxieties. I realized that the answers to my problems were out there, however it was up to me to find those techniques that would get rid of my fears and anxieties. I realized that making excuses for not getting help wasn’t going to make things any better. 7. I made the choice to get better: If you struggle with fear and anxiety there is hope, however you need to make the effort in getting better. The answers will not come to you. You have to make the effort to find the answers to overcome your situation. It will not always be easy, but you can overcome the cycle of fear and worry with hard work and a willingness to learn from your every day experiences.

Delma Rodgers turning 95 Sept. 24 On Sept. 24 Delma Rodgers will be turning 95 years old. Please help her family throw Delma a card shower by sending her a card or letter to celebrate. Delma lived in Gallatin almost 60 years. She was born in Missouri City and graduated in 1942. The stone school building is still used as a school today. She moved to Gallatin with her family when they were transferred for work on the Wabash Railroad. In Gallatin Delma met Howard Rodgers whose family also worked for the railroad. Delma and Howard were married in 1944. Their first home was an upstairs apartment on the corner of Jackson and Market on the square. After having two sons, Jerry and Mike, they moved into a home made of unused prefab army barracks on Franklin Street and they lived there until they moved to their home at 310 N. Main in Gallatin. That’s where she lived until she moved to Cameron in 2004. Delma worked at the USDA office, now called FSA, for several years. She also worked at the First National Bank and for the Selective Service. She began working at Daviess County Division of Family Services in 1960 as a receptionist. In 1974 Delma also had her own fabric shop on the square, called Delma’s Fabric Shop. In 1981 she became Director of the Daviess County Division of Family Services. Delma retired in 1986. Delma belonged and still belongs to several organizations including American Business Women’s Association, Christian Women’s Fellowship, a Mothers Club, and Gallatin’s Garden Club. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, counted cross

stitch, gardening, canning, cooking and being involved in many projects. After retirement Delma enjoyed line dancing with a group of friends for several years. Delma has three grandchildren living in Texas, Oregon, and New Mexico. She also has three great-grandchildren. When Delma was 80 she moved to Cameron to live closer to her son. She belonged to Take Off Pounds Sensibly in Cameron and drove back to Gallatin for several years to attend The First Christian Church. She still enjoys reading the Daily News Press and North Missourian newspapers. She is an avid reader and was in several book clubs. She loves flowers and can identify most flowers and trees she sees. And she adores cats and currently lives with her furry companion Callie. Please send birthday cards to 713 Harris Lane, Cameron, MO 64429.

Beware! Your social security number is NOT being suspended! It’s a scam A growing scam is underway in the area. People pretend to be from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and try to get your Social Security number or your money. The phone call sounds like a robocall or a recorded message. Scammers are saying your Social Security number (SSN) has been suspended because of suspicious activity, or because it’s been involved in a crime. Sometimes, the scammer wants you to confirm your SSN to reactivate it. Sometimes, he’ll say your bank account is about to be seized – but he’ll tell you what to do to keep it safe. (Often, that involves putting your money on gift cards and giving him the codes – which, of course, means that your money is gone.) Oh, and your caller ID often shows the real SSA phone number (1-800-772-1213) when these scammers call – but they’re faking that number. It’s not the real SSA calling. Here’s what to know: Your Social Security number is not about to be suspended. You don’t have to verify your number to anyone who calls out of the blue. And your bank accounts are not about to be seized. SSA will never call to threaten your benefits or tell you to wire money, send cash, or put money on gift cards. Anyone who tells you to do those things is a scam-

mer. Every time. The real SSA number is 1-800772-1213, but scammers are putting that number in the caller ID. If you’re worried about what the caller says, hang up and call 1-800-772-1213 to speak to the real SSA. Never give any part of your Social Security number to anyone who contacts you. Or your bank account or credit card number. Tell the FTC at ftc.gov/ complaint.

Grundy Electric Coop awards $500 grant to N. Daviess School North Daviess R-3 was recently notified that the Grundy Electric Cooperative had selected the Knights for an educational grant applied during the 2018-19 school term. The $500 grant written by Vera Nelson, in collaboration with Elementary School Counselor Louise Bird, involved printable workbooks and reading books for the dyslexia program at North Daviess. Diagnosing students and empowering students with dyslexia is a DESE mandated program. However, not many resources are available for schools to be able to purchase and implement needed resources for students. Through this grant, North

Daviess was able to purchase those needed materials to assist in the classrooms. North Daviess Principal Kelly Hightree commented that this grant will enable the North Daviess Knights to begin the needed steps to reinforce teachable dyslexia material. The goal as always for “Knight Pride” is to give each student that walks through the doors at North Daviess the best resources for a successfully completed education. Revised 2-5-15 Danielle

A Friday night to remember!

Gallatin beats Hamilton for first time in 12 seasons Last Friday night wasn’t a home game for the Gallatin Bulldogs, but it looked that way as players, coaches and fans were reluctant to leave the field and cut short a victory celebration that was a long time coming. For the first time in 12 seasons, Gallatin mastered Hamilton in a non-conference game that harkened back to the days of a heated Grand River Conference rivalry. The Bulldogs led from start to finish, but had to

hold off a fierce Hornet rally in the final seconds to preserve a hard-fought, 20-14 win. “When the final horn sounded, it was like a weight was lifted off all of our shoulders,” Bulldog Head Coach Patrick Treece said after the game. “I was mostly excited for our boys,” he added. “After we celebrated together, I sat back and watched them relish the moment and celebrate with each other. This group of seniors was my first group of

freshmen when I took over the program and what a way for them to go out.” It was a tough night for each team’s leading runner, but for different reasons. Hamilton’s Sawyer Morrow muffed a pair of punts, though the Hornets were able to recover the second, and he fumbled, even though the Hornets again were able to keep the football. The PHS star finished with 144 rushing yards but needed all of his 26 carries to do so. It was also a grueling game for Gallatin’s Aidan Adkison. The GHS senior scored twice in the first half, giving his team a 14-0 cushion, but he left the field with seconds remaining in the second quarter after twisting an ankle. Adkison, who came back in the third quarter after a heavy tape job, battled cramps, as well, and was limited the rest of the way in the Bulldog backfield. Adkison finished with 99 yards on 24 carries and two TD runs, and hauled in one pass for a 41yard gain. Clinging to a 14-7 lead, Gallatin gained breathing room in the fourth quarter when Tristen Gibson intercepted a Ryan Cook

pass and returned the ball to the Hornet 20. Two minutes later, Ross Critten got behind Morrow and hauled in a pass from quarterback Brinley Vandiver at the pylon to up the ante to 20-7, but the Hornets had an answer. Following a long kickoff return, the Hornets marched down the field in less than two minutes with Morrow taking scoring honors from 13 yards out. Morrow booted an all-important extra point that closed the gap to 2014 and gave the Hornets new life in the closing moments. The Bulldogs turned to clock management. Facing third and three on their own 19-yard line, Vandiver used a hard count to induce an encroachment penalty that kept the drive alive and allowed the Dogs to take more precious seconds off the clock. Gallatin’s series stalled and the Hornets took over at their own 47 despite another recovered punt muff. A Cook-to-Andrew-Rich pass picked up a first down to the Bulldog 41. A first down pass fell incomplete, fol-

lowed by a Morrow run for no gain into the heart of the Bulldog defense. Critten broke up a third down pass and on fourth and 10 with one minute left, Cook’s final pass over the middle skipped incomplete. With no time outs remaining, the Hornets were forced to watch as Vandiver twice took a knee to kill the clock. The game’s final horn was nearly drowned out on the south end of the field by the roar of the GHS fan following. “My heart was beating out of my chest on the final Hamilton drive,” said Coach Treece. “When it came to fourth down, I had a moment of clarity,” he added. “I remember the call and standing there with total faith that our guys would get the stop needed to seal the game.” Senior Haden Bradford shouldered the load in the backfield for the Bulldogs in the second half and kept the clock running with some solid gains. He rushed for 35 yards on nine (continued on Page 9)

Record-setting Panthers rip Bobcats for 12 TDS, 94 points What do you do when your starters get only nine snaps at the beginning of the game? Score, score and score some more. The #2 state-ranked Pattonsburg Panthers blitzed visiting Braymer for 50 unanswered points in the first quarter alone on their way to a Missouri 8-Man Football record 94 points during Friday’s Grand River Conference clash. The unbeaten Panthers rolled to an 88-20 half time lead before trading one more score for two by the Bobcats in the final half. According to the MSHSAA Football Record Book, the top team performances for most points scored in a game are: 138 points by Lincoln College Prep vs. Northeast (KC) in 1985, followed by 105 points by Springfield Central vs. Greenfield in 1927. Both scores are in 11-man play. Next in line is Friday night’s 94 points by the Panthers in their 94-38 victory. Pattonsburg’s 12 touchdowns are tied for sixth place, all classes. Dakota Eaton started off scoring with a 59-yard punt return. Quarterback Steven Will-

hite threw to Patrick Cowley for the conversion. Willhite went on to throw four touchdown passes in the first period, to Brett Emig, Carter Crone, Cowley and Eaton. The Panthers tacked on four two-point conversions following those scoring plays. Crone scored the final TD of the first period on a 10-yard fumble recovery. The Panther defense would also notch a safety to account for the 50-0 first quarter lead. The Panthers scored six more TDs in the contest after Kaden deJong took over quarterback duties. He threw three TD passes, to Brody Langfitt, Sam Coin and Login Goll, ran for another TD and two point conversion and tossed a pair of successful conversion passes. Patrick Cowley found the end zone twice for the Panthers on kickoff return runs of 56 and 53 yards. He also led the team in receiving with four catches for 75 yards. The Panthers travel to North Andrew this Friday to take on the unbeaten Cardinals, who are ranked #4 in Missouri 8-Man Football.

carries. Gallatin’s victory came as much from defense and special teams, as from the offense. Gibson and Critten recovered fumbles. Rodell Sperry saved a touchdown by forcing a fumble. Senior Tom Crouse kept Hornet runners in check with 13 solo tackles and a pair of assists. The Bulldogs prep this week for a trip to Trenton to face the 0-2 Bulldogs who are reeling from a pair of blow-out losses to quality teams in Lathrop and Lexington. Gallatin has retained the Bulldog Challenge trophy two years in a row. Gallatin is also the only GRC team that hasn’t lost to Trenton since the 2016 reorganization of the league. Trenton is coached by former GHS Coach Kevin Hixson.

Baker scored on a passed ball and Shubert crossed the plate with the game’s final run when Addie Riley grounded to third base. Baker, Shubert, Carli Beck and Maddi Michael each hit safely for the Lady Bulldogs. Scoring runs were Baker (2), Shubert (2), Beck, Michael and Wells.

Nelson finishes summer internship at Worlds of Fun, surveillance of park

Indictments after Crossroads riots Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced recently that over two dozen individuals were indicted by a DeKalb County grand jury for their involvement in a May 2018 riot at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron. A grand jury was convened in DeKalb County at the request of DeKalb County Prosecuting Attorney Erik Tate and Assistant Attorney General Tony Brown to consider charges related to the riot. The Missouri Attorney General’s Office was appointed by Governor Parson to assist the DeKalb County Prosecuting Attorney. The grand jury returned charges related to the damage of Department property, violence against other inmates and even tampering with a motor vehicle for unlawfully operating a forklift. Department of Corrections employees worked several hundreds of man hours and analyzed thousands of hours of video to identify each individual defendant and the illegal acts committed by them. An estimated $1.3 million dollars in damage was sustained during the riot. The Attorney General’s Office reminds citizens that all charges are merely accusations and all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Changes proposed to help control nuisance wildlife and invasive species The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is considering changing regulations to help landowners address damage caused by problem wildlife and feral hogs. MDC is proposing the changes in response to citizen requests to the Regulations Committee to use night vision or thermal imagery to address livestock loss caused by coyotes and damage caused by feral hogs. The proposed regulation would allow a conservation agent to authorize methods other than shooting or trapping, such as thermal imaging, for taking wildlife that are causing damage to private property. MDC emphasizes that the landowner or landowner representatives would be required

to obtain written authorization from their local conservation agent to use thermal imaging or night vision equipment to control problem wildlife. Other sections of this rule already allow a conservation agent to authorize additional methods to control deer and other wildlife that are damaging private property. In addition, MDC is considering a regulation change that would allow a landowner representative to use thermal imagery or night vision equipment to eliminate feral hogs from the landowner’s property after obtaining authorization from a conservation agent. Landowners can currently use thermal imagery and night vision equipment on their own property.

Aubrey Nelson, 2015 GHS graduate, recently finished her summer internship with Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. Aubrey fulfilled the nine-hour internship requirement for one of her majors in criminal justice through Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. Aubrey was in surveillance of the parks operations, both by walking through the park and by viewing departments of the park through product and loss. Employees not only look for park loss through employees and customers, but formulate management ideas to better assist the departments inside the parks to run efficiently and profitably. Aubrey was chosen Employee of the Week in August and was recognized for the embezzlement dollars generated by her criminal investigations. She was treated to a luncheon with the CEO of Worlds of Fun as part of her recognized accomplishments. Worlds of Fun has also extended their product and loss position to Aubrey for the remainder of the 2019 season for both the Worlds of Fun Haunt and Christmas festivals. Aubrey also plans to help in recruitment in January 2020 at Worlds of Fun in their product and loss department.

Worlds of Fun is owned by one of the nation’s largest park operations, Cedar Fair Parks and Amusements, with many parks throughout the United States. Product loss serves as a key factor in the profit and loss for parks.

Deer hunting season opens Sept. 15; MDC shares info on deadly Chronic Wasting Disease With deer hunting opening for archery season on Sept. 15 and firearms portions in the coming months, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wants hunters, landowners, and others to know key information about chronic wasting disease, or CWD. MDC is continuing its efforts this fall and winter to limit the spread of CWD in Missouri deer by finding new cases and slowing its spread to more deer or more areas. CWD is a deadly, infectious disease in white-tailed deer and other members of the deer family that eventually kills all animals it infects. There is no vaccine or cure. CWD is spread from deer to deer and through the environment. MDC has found 116 cases of CWD in Missouri since 2012 out of more than 100,000 deer sampled so the disease remains relatively rare in the state. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/cwd under “CWD in Missouri.” There have been no reported cases of CWD infecting people, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommends having deer tested for CWD if harvested in an area known to have the disease. The CDC also recommends not eating meat from animals that test positive for CWD. For more information, visit mdc. mo.gov/cwd under “Human Health Risks.” CWD Management Zone MDC has a CWD Management Zone of counties in or near where CWD has been found. The 29 counties of the CWD Management Zone for this season are: Adair, Barry, Cedar, Chariton, Christian, Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade, Hickory, Howell, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Mercer, Oregon, Ozark, Perry, Polk, Putnam, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington. See the included map image. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/cwd.

Voluntary CWD Sampling all season statewide MDC is offering free voluntary CWD sampling and testing of deer harvested anywhere in Missouri throughout the entire deer hunting season (Sept. 15 through Jan. 15, 2020) at MDC regional offices during regular business hours and through participating taxidermists and meat processors within the CWD Management Zone. Get locations and more information at mdc. mo.gov/cwd under “Voluntary Sampling.” Mandatory CWD sampling Nov. 16 and 17 Hunters who harvest deer in any counties of the CWD Management Zone during the opening weekend of the November portion of the fall firearms deer season (Nov. 16 and 17) are required to take their harvested deer (or the head with at least six inches of neck attached) on the day of harvest to one of MDC’s numerous CWD sampling stations throughout the zone. Sampling and test results are free. Hunters who harvest deer in counties no longer part of the zone are not required to participate in sampling. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/cwd under “Mandatory CWD Sampling,” or from MDC’s “2019 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information” booklet, available where permits are sold and online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/downloads/2019FDT. pdf. Before having deer sampled for CWD • Field dress and Telecheck deer before arrival at a sampling station. • Bring the carcass or just the head with at least six inches of the neck attached. • Capes may be removed in preparation for taxidermy before going to a sampling station. • The person who harvested the deer must be present. • The hunter’s conserva-

tion number will be required, along with specific location of harvest. • If using a paper permit, have it detached from the deer for easy access. • If using the MO Hunting app, have permit and Telecheck information available. • Position deer in vehicles with heads and necks easily accessible. CWD test results Get test results for CWD-sampled deer online at mdc.mo.gov/ CWDTestResults. Results are free and will be available within four weeks after the sampling date. Carcass disposal Carcasses or remains of CWD-infected deer can expose other deer to the disease. Process deer as close as possible to where harvested. Place remaining carcass parts in trash bags and properly dispose of them in the trash or a landfill. If necessary, bury or leave remains at the harvest site. Learn more at mdc. mo.gov/cwd under “Carcass Disposal.” New regulations on carcass movement and disposal will go into effect in 2020. Feeding ban in CWD management zone Feeding deer or placing minerals for deer unnaturally concentrates the animals and can help spread CWD. The Wildlife Code of Missouri prohibits the placement of grain, salt products, minerals, and other consumable natural and manufactured products used to attract deer year-round within counties of the CWD Management Zone. Exceptions are feed placed within 100 feet of any residence or occupied building, feed placed in such a manner to reasonably exclude access by deer, and feed and minerals present solely as a result of normal agricultural or forest management, or crop and wildlife food production practices. The feeding ban does not

apply to food plots or other agricultural practices. The feeding ban no longer applies to counties removed from the CWD Management Zone. Antler point restriction Counties within the CWD Management Zone do not have an antler-point restriction. Protecting young bucks from being harvested in areas where CWD has been found can increase the spread of the disease. The APR has been reinstated for some counties removed from the zone. Learn more from MDC’s “2019 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information” booklet, available where permits are sold and online at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/ downloads/2019FDT.pdf. Firearms anterless permits The increased availability of firearms antlerless permits for some counties in the CWD Management Zone can help prevent undesired population increases in local deer numbers around

where CWD has been found. Learn more from MDC’s “2019 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information” booklet, available where permits are sold and online at huntfish. mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/ downloads/2019FDT.pdf. Share the harvest Missouri’s Share the Harvest program helps deer hunters donate venison to those in need. To participate, take harvested deer to an approved meat processor and let the processor know how much venison is to be donated. Learn more and find participating processors at mdc.mo.gov/ share. Deer harvested within the CWD Management Zone may only be donated to approved processors in the Share the Harvest CWD Testing Program located within or directly adjacent to the CWD Management Zone. Deer harvested outside of the CWD Management Zone may be donated to any Share the Harvest processor.

MDC has a CWD Management Zone of counties in or near where CWD has been found. The 29 counties of the CWD Management Zone for this season are shaded on the map.

Missouri crushes West Virginia, prepares for 500th game at Memorial Stadium By Benjamin Herrold On Saturday, Missouri did what it was supposed to do and then some, rolling to a 38-7 win over West Virginia in Columbia. The Tigers (1-1) were twotouchdown favorites against the Mountaineers (1-1), and they went right to work making this a non-competitive afternoon in the sun at Faurot Field. Missouri led 10-0 after the first quarter, and 31-0 at halftime, turning the second half into a cruise. A week after having a minus-3 turnover differential at Wyoming, Missouri was plus-3, notching three interceptions from the Mountaineers. Missouri outgained West Virginia 382-171. It was a thoroughly dominating performance, especially from the Tiger defense. Now Missouri is largely back on track heading into a historic weekend in Columbia. On Saturday, Missouri hosts Southeast Missouri State (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network alternate channel) in the Tigers’ 500th game at Memorial Stadium. No offense intended to the Redhawks, but it’s a little unfortunate the caliber of opponent isn’t a little higher for this momentous event. Nevertheless, this game is still a chance to

celebrate a way of life, an abundance of traditions and experiences and returning to the same place every autumn. Most people just refer to Missouri’s home venue as Faurot Field, even if that is technically the name of the playing surface, and the entire structure is Memorial Stadium. It is one of several Memorial Stadiums across the country, built as the sport of college football was erupting and schools needed much bigger stadiums, and as the country was looking to honor the sacrifices of soldiers in World War I. It was simply the Great War then, or the World War, in the 1920s. MU had two projects to honor the fallen alumni in that war that changed the world, the recognizable Memorial Union on campus, and Memorial Stadium in a natural valley south of campus. Missouri dedicated the stadium to the 112 alumni and students who died in the war, with the first game on Oct. 2, 1926, against Tulane. As can happen in Missouri in October, torrential rains fell, which didn’t allow for the field to be sodded due to the wet conditions. Missouri and Tulane played on an improvised

surface of sawdust and tree bark, although the game was pretty much a muddy slog. It ended in a 0-0 tie, naturally. The stadium has seen renovations through the years, but it has always been an idyllic spot to spend a fall Saturday. The trees still rise about the south end zone to add fall color. The Rock M has been there since the second season. Tiger fans have experienced a wide variety of emotions at Memorial Stadium, and they have seen memorable moments, victories and defeats, so much drama. Whether Missouri wins or loses, and whether you watch in person or on TV or listen on the radio, Memorial Stadium has been the backdrop for games enjoyed with friends and family for generations.

Look for Rick Tolen on Sept. 28 by T.L. Huffman

When Rick Tolen was 10-years-old he’d leave his farm house and trudge his way up the road to the neighbor’s house to take music lessons. Edna Lockard taught him piano between 10 a.m. and 12 noon every Saturday. “Giving up my Saturdays wasn’t my idea,” Rick says. “I don’t know why my folks thought I needed to take piano lessons. I was pushed into it. But it wasn’t that bad... Edna always had snacks!” If you’ve been to a fair or a festival around you’ve probably seen Rick playing keyboard. He’s honed his musical chops in several area bands, and says the last, Hired Gun, has overall the most talent. He’ll be playing at the Kickin’ Cancer event on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Rick and the ivories didn’t hit it off instantly. He took lessons until he was 16. After he quit taking lessons, he quit playing. “I didn’t think I had any particular natural talent for the piano,” he says. Despite Edna’s best efforts, Rick can’t read music. He plays it all by ear. Even in high school, when he played the trombone, he had to memorize the music. The band director, Murphy Tetly, would have the students audition in a little band room. In that competitive environment, Rick was definitely handicapped to not be able to read sheet music, and would start out way down the line, third or fourth chair. “As I learned the music, I’d challenge the person above me until I was all the way to first chair, which was usually just by concert time.” California dreamin’ After graduating high school at Gallatin R-5, Rick moved to California. “I was around 21,” he says. “Just a little rebellion. I wanted to get away. See what was out there.” He knew some people who lived in California, so he stayed with them and then got his own apartment. “At the time, I loved California,” he says. “Last winter, I went back out there. I decided I didn’t want to live there. It just struck me that there was too many people. Or maybe I finally grew up.” He’d been coming back to the farm in the spring to help put the crops in and in the fall to take them out. His father was getting older. His brother Dave had his own flying business and was doing other stuff besides farming. At 26, Rick came back to Gallatin.

Soundboard to keyboard In 1986 friends in a band called “Night Wind” asked him to run sound for them. He was soon in front playing the keyboard by the soundboard. “It had been so long, I wasn’t really playing. Finally, they said get up on the stage. I was with them for four years.” They had a strong, live following, playing gigs at private parties, fairs, chautauquas and bars. “Back then a lot of watering holes had live music. Places would be packed. They don’t do it so much anymore. They’re concerned with people drinking and driving. Bar owners have to pay so much a year for copyrighted materials and a lot won’t do it.”

“We’ve been playing 100 years if you count the years we’ve all played.” On the weekends, when the band isn’t playing, Rick likes to go to open jams at Knuckleheads in Kansas City and Dirty Harry’s in Blue Springs.

Strange stage name Rick was with the “boys from Braymer” in a band called Twin Bridges. After Twin Bridges, he started playing with The Elsea Smith Band from Independence/ Buckner. The band is named after the street the bass player lives on. It was a strange name for a strange coincidence: “The family that bought my house by Magill bridge lived on that same road, about a mile and a half north of the bass player.” He was with Elsea Smith for eight years. The band has a CD and he’s on it. It’s called the Long Road Home. The band he is in now is called Hired Gun. He’s been with them some six or seven years. They’re a Rock ‘n Blues band. There are four players in the band: Jeff Snyder, Fred Lindsey, Kenny Meinke and Rick. They play a couple of times a month.

Welding has been his hobby. He also likes to work on cars. “El Caminos are my weakness. I’ve had four. One I saw in front of a barn and finally got hold of.” He’s got a 1969 pickup and a 1960 Pontiac Catalina. “It’s a four door, a land barge. It sat there for years and years. I put in some gas and it fired right up.”

Doing other things But now he’s pretty much quit farming. He sold the house and 43 acres he was living on. “I didn’t retire, I quit,” he says. “I got to the point I was tired of government agencies telling me what to do. I’m still young enough to do some other things.” He plans to buy a house and build a shop and do decorative metal work. “The whimsical stuff, like what you put in your garden.”

Family matters Rick has two children, Dalton and Mariah Huston. Mariah graduates next December from Maryville with a degree in education and will be a teacher. Rick’s folks, Patt and Ida Mae Tolen, have both passed away. His brother Dave and his wife Misse, have two children, Wilson and Wren. He still has extended family in California that he visits every two or three years.

“I’ve traveled, seen a lot of places, but I’m still just a homeboy.” He follows a few bands and goes to music festivals when he can. He says he’s fortunate to have always had talented people to play with; he’s met a lot of good musicians that should be playing somewhere else. No plans to change Rick says getting home at 3:30 a.m. with Sunday just another day on the farm, makes for some long nights. “I am a pounder. I’ll do it until my fingers won’t let me.” Rick may not have turned into a classical pianist, but that early musical foundation gave him something to build on. He hasn’t forgotten the lessons he learned from the little old lady down the road. “I silently thank Edna once in a while,” he says.
