Former paramedic pleads guilty to stealing pain-killing drugs, replacing vials with water

Gallatin to honor Lola and Kenneth Critten

Crittens to lead parade this Chautauqua Saturday Kenneth and Lola Critten will lead the 2017 Chautauqua parade in Gallatin at 5 p.m. this Saturday as the honored grand marshals. Thus, this couple embellishes the list of honorees saluted by this community since parade grand marshals were first recognized in 1989. The Critten family’s prominence in annuls of Daviess County is secure in multiple ways. Their family business, Landmark Manufacturing, is a leading employer in this region and delivers world-class metal fabrication products and expertise to domestic and international destinations. Likewise, the family’s farming operations not only hearken to a Century Farm heritage but offer evidence of cutting edge advances in crop production and management practices. In many ways, and now at the parade during this weekend’s Chautauqua, the Crittens are leaders. This couple, newlyweds some 50 years ago, are renowned for their hard work and “can do” spirit and willingness to help others. If their story is not unique in defining American character, then their story is certainly unusual. To understand why you find a factory with over 3 acres under roof in the middle of a corn field, or why a 50-million gallon water impoundment is underway as a sort of retirement project, you need to know Kenny and Lola personally. Their optimism defies hardships and challenges. Their success is evidenced by many measures. And, even in retirement, their interests and outlook always target the future.

Tom Larson, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a former paramedic with two Northwest Missouri ambulance districts pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday, Sept. 12, to stealing pain-killing drugs and replacing the vials with water. Joseph L. Comstock, 31, of Bethany, waived his right to a grand jury. He pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips to a federal information that charges him with three counts of tampering with a consumer product (fentanyl and morphine) with reckless disregard for the risk that another person would be placed in danger of death or bodily injury, and under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to such risk. By pleading guilty, Comstock admitted that he emptied vials of morphine and fentanyl, taking it for his own personal use, and replaced the pain-killing drugs with sterilized water. Comstock tampered with the

drug vials while working at both the NTA Ambulance District in Bethany and the Community Ambulance District of Daviess County in Gallatin, during 2014 and 2015. Comstock started tampering with drugs in March 2014, following a medical procedure to remove his tonsils. He accessed drugs on ambulances and was able to bend up the lid of the plastic boxes and dump out the drugs he wished to tamper with. He obtained both fentanyl and morphine from ambulances and replaced the drugs with sterile water. Comstock admitted there were at least two occasions where he personally treated patients with drugs he knew he had tampered with. These patients were both hip fracture patients that were supposed to receive fentanyl but instead received sterile water that Comstock had replaced in the vial. Federal officials were notified on March 4, 2015, of possible drug tampering at the NTA Am-

Horrendous Hurricane Irma a near-miss for Amy (Woodruff) LaBrie and family Gallatin R-5 alumnus Amy Woodruff LaBrie lives in Miami, FL, with her husband, Keith, and young daughter, Sara. Amy kept a journal as they waited for Hurricane Irma to pass. Irma disrupted, and contin-

ues to affect the lives of millions of people from the Caribbean islands and now up through Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina as it continues to move north as a tropical depression. Here is Amy’s narrative:

A family affair, with roots and wings

Kenneth Critten’s great-grandfather homesteaded the farm where Lola and Kenny reside today. His grandparents, Otto and Gertrude Critten, worked this farm and raised a family of seven boys and one girl. One of these was Kenneth’s father, Wayne, who built and then mass-produced Longwood furnaces. “My dad built the first Longwood after trying electric heat,” Kenny says. “It was an invention of necessity. Our farm house had poor windows and no insulation so electric heat had no chance of working.” The Crittens weren’t the only ones looking for better ways to heat homes. The Crittens tinkered and adjusted their woodburning furnaces. Business grew, mostly promoted by word-ofmouth testimonies. But farming was always Kenny’s priority. He was running a dairy at age 14. Even though his father didn’t milk, Kenny managed to find time to play some football for GHS, but there was no time for basketball or other schoolboy pastimes. Kenny worked. Lola’s ties to Daviess County begin with grandparents who raised her mother on a farm along Route K. Her father grew up near Braymer. After marriage, Lola’s parents moved to Kansas City until returning to live near Jameson when Lola was in the third grade. As teenagers, Lola met Kenny in an unusual way. Unknown to each other, both Lola and Kenny rode or drove a Volkswagen. The cars were similar colors so that in the dark you couldn’t easily tell one vehicle from the other. Soon Lola, riding with her older sister, began to be stopped by sheriff deputies and state troopers for various reasons. Lola says this happened so frequently she made the effort to find out more about this Kenny Critten. A romance bloomed. The couple married on Aug. 30, 1964. “I wasn’t a model child,” Kenny says with a grin. “But everything worked out. Nobody around here worked much on Volkswagens, and I even wound up taking care of the VW repairs

bulance District in Bethany. The chief of EMS reported that an employee had noticed two morphine syringes had broken tamper-evident seals. On Jan. 30, 2015, an employee noticed that two morphine syringes had broken tamperevident seals. On Feb. 27, 2015, ambulance employees looked through narcotic boxes kept on the three NTA ambulances. They found a number of drugs that were missing tamper-evidence caps and had broken tamper-evident seals, including midazolam, lorazepam, morphine and fentanyl. Federal agents installed surveillance equipment at the Bethany NTA building on March 18, 2015. A camera was also placed on an ambulance, which was taken out of service. Comstock was recorded on the surveillance video as he stole morphine from the ambulance on two separate occasions on March 19 and March 23, 2015. Comstock later admitted that

GHS Golf Coach Chad Sullenger with MSHSAA’s Greg Stahl

Sullenger a MSHSAA Coach of the Year The Missouri State High School Athletics Association staff has selected Gallatin’s Chad Sullenger as the National Federation of State High School Associations Coach of the Year for all classes of boys’ golf from the 2016-17 school year. The award was presented to Chad during halftime of Friday’s home football game by Greg Stahl. Criteria for the award includes good character and integrity, display of sportsmanship, support of MSHSAA bylaws and NFHS rules, and evidence of success and administering a successful program. Coach Sullenger led the Bulldogs to the MSHSAA Class 1 Championship last spring.

Wind had circled the courtyard outside Sara’s second-story window all night, but this squall was different. The thin palm trees moaned as they swayed, and leafy bushes shuddered as they were slammed against the interior corner of the cement building. Sheets of small drops of rain pelted the double-thick panes of glass that separated our family from the wrath of what was touted as the strongest hurricane to hit south Florida since Wilma in 2005. The time was 4 a.m. on Sunday and the worst of Hurricane Irma was hitting our apartment two hours earlier than the meteorologists had predicted. The clack of the exterior screen against the glass window above my head had startled me awake. The red hue of the bedroom told me that we had progressed through the colors on the television’s radar maps. We had passed the lime green bands of rain, and the orange tropical storm winds with tornadoes were in our past. Now we were beginning the six-hour window of the heaviest hurricaneforce winds and rain. I felt apprehensive about continuing to lay under our four-foot square window, but my husband, Keith, our four-month-old daughter, and Bella the cat were peacefully asleep, so I put my arm around Sara and held on tight for the next 20 hours. No one in our Doral, FL, apartment had experienced a Category 5 hurricane, including (continued on page 15)

Civil disobedience by Freida Marie Crump

Cards can b e em ailed to Ken at ke n@ b radb ury . cc or m ailed to the following address: Ken B radb ury , 3 51 Sandusky , Ja ckso nvi lle, I L 6 2 6 50 . D uring the weeks ahead, we will reprint favo rite colum ns selected from previ ous editions. Life’s episodes often reve aled through Ken’s pseudonym, Freida Marie Crump, are timeless. The following was first printed in this newspaper in 2 0 10 .

Be careful of the labels you choose How do you identify yourself? I don’t mean whether you’re tall, small or losing your hair. I mean what labels do you accept for your identity or, perhaps more accurately, what tags do you object to and how aggressive are you in your pushback? Our society seems all about perception. Considerable effort is devoted to creating identity tags and then adding up a tally to argue some point of view or to close on some sale. There’s always somebody somewhere attempting to classify and categorize you by all sorts of measures and standards. And, frankly, that’s a problem. This only divides us. The only time I think of myself as a Baby Boomer is when I’m reading about how Medicare will mathematically fail someday or whenever I’m forced to ponder health care. Oh, yes, and whenever I consider whether I’m getting too old to ride my motorcycle since advertising insists that all Boomers ride Harleys. I’m a male. I’m Caucasian. I live in the Bible Belt and so, like it or not, I’m automatically an Evangelical Christian. I’m a Chiefs fan. The mountain of AARP solicitations remind me I’m a senior citizen. I’m a farm boy (who, regardless, finds “city folks just don’t get it” a bit strange for promoting love on those websites for farmers only). I’m a product of public education. I grew up in a family labeled Middle Class mostly because my folks did well enough to pay taxes. I am not particularly offended by any of these labels. But every label makes you a target for someone else in our “us vs.

them” world. Sometimes you’re labeled whether you like it or not. I confound anyone interested in politics because I never really consider myself irreversibly Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal. There are things I admire and respect about both perspectives. I was even encouraged (gasp!) when President Trump recently bypassed his party to join with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling because it seemed like maybe, just maybe, the system could still work.

O the E itor s S ike

That’s what really bothers me. Identity labels are so divisive. Let me try explaining this point in another way: I’m transgender. I’m brown and attend a mosque. I’m a Raiders fan. I know how to maximize the food stamp program despite dropping out of high school. I reside in the inner city and think food just comes from the grocery store. I don’t even have a driver’s license, much less voter ID. Now, do you still want to listen or talk to me? Labels undercut the essential “give and take” necessary for a diverse society to work. It has the illusion of creating unity within a group but at the expense of being divisive against others. Carried to the extreme, this shreds the threads of society. And, sadly, those who profit the most seem

to be those most willing to pursue labeling to the extremes. Labels are about marketing, defining the haves and have-nots of products, opportunities, and ideas. In today’s “big box store” mentality, it’s all about separating and then sorting us by race, religion, politics and social attitudes. Fake news is now an acknowledged currency, and the impact is playing out much deeper than merely the Russian media buy to influence the last election. Everything is presented in “us vs. them” philosophy. Thus, we easily lose track of what is “us.” Absolute truths once widely recognized — including even our country’s founding truths — are evolving into “sort of ” truths. As one individual, you can feel overwhelmed by all this. You can begin to think one person doesn’t matter and lose track of when and where it actually does. Good is possible only in the light of truth — not truth as it is often defined by some label created by personal preference or popular consensus but reality as it is. We were created for a purpose. That purpose was not left to chance or whim. Yes, I understand the Baby Boomer label as it applies to me, but it makes me feel like a commodity or a target that can be marketed. The next group is called Millennials. I’ve heard about Generation Z, although predicting future labels can contradict whatever the future impulse. Who knows what tags our grandchildren must confront? Labels build walls. I worry that compromise has become such a dirty word and so seldom used among those who lead us. I hope those who disagree with me don’t think I’m evil and malicious for not sharing their point of view. I have more than enough on my plate answering for what Darryl Wilkinson does and doesn’t do without expanding my puny role to represent anyone else, much less a whole class of people who happen to think or are suppose to act in some particular way. How you label yourself, or refuse to do so, is revealing. So tell me, what labels do you accept for yourself? Are you ever irritated as I am over those who constantly try to classify and divide us into identities that suit their goals?

Greetings from Poosey. Okay, I know it’s illegal and if caught the standard punishment is 20 years in prison and some states still inflict the death penalty, but dog-gone it, sometimes it’s worth taking a few risks. The scheme: Kidnap your grandchildren. I know, I know... What will the neighbors think? What will your own children think? How will you be able to show your face at the next church potluck? Who cares? The lives of your grandkids are at stake. The plan, Phase I: Most schools now have security systems. There’s hardly an elementary school that doesn’t have locked doors and a scheme to buzz in the deliverymen and buzz out the terrorists. Bottom line: They let about anyone in. Most terrorists are under age 12. If you’re really nervous about step one of this plan, wear a brown shirt and mumble something about being the UPS man. Some schools still don’t use a camera system. Carry a cardboard box if it’ll make you feel more secure. Phase II: Once you’ve achieved Phase I of your subterfuge, walk directly to your grandchild’s classroom, ask to speak to the little rascal, then when the teacher’s not looking grab the kid and head for the door. Leave your car running. Pop the little poop into the backseat before he has a chance to peep and head for the nearest park. Phase III: Have a picnic. Any grandma worth her casserole knows what dishes especially light up the eyes of her grandchildren. Do not fix a meal that is good for them. That’s the job of their parents. Your job is simply to kidnap and enjoy. Spend the entire day doing things with your little heirs. Regale them with stories of your family, how you grew up, what their parents were like at this age. Talk, talk, talk and get them to talk back. Withhold Oreos until they’ve fessed up. Get messy. Sprain something. Do not under any circumstances act you age. Throw things. Surprise them. Play games. Plan a surprise for every hour of your kidnapping. Fall down. Let them fall down. Take some ridiculous chances. Laugh ‘til your face hurts. Show a huge interest in anything that interests them. Ask them questions and demand answers. Read them a short story in the funniest voices you can muster. Smell things. Touch things. Live things. Skip rocks on water. Climb as far up a tree as you can then tell little your little darling to climb the rest of the way. Eat ice cream at regular intervals. Be loud. Let hugging become an hourly ritual. Scare passersby. Scare your grandchild. Scare yourself. Let things drip without wiping them up. Don’t straighten your hair out when it becomes mussed. Blow bubbles. Frighten birds. Remember how to play hopscotch? Hide and seek? Take up a large amount of space. Do not keep score on anything except giggles. See who can spit the furthest. For once stop acting like a grandparent and be one. Civil disobedience seems to be the current rave sweeping the country from tea parties to marches on Washington to rabid rallies and sit-ins. We do love to break the law whenever we think our own personal law is more holy. I don’t disdain your right to do all these things, but frankly, your individual effort doesn’t make much difference. It will be hard to pick out your face on the next gathering at the Washington Mall. But a difference you can make -- a difference we all must make -- is to simply take a profound and active interest in the next generation. Your grandchildren need you -- desperately. Do something about it. Yes, they’ll be tested into oblivion in the current round of educational standards, kindergarten will continue to be the proving ground for college, and daddy’s got to have the best athlete on the playing field. But none of these goals hold a candle to what they can get from you in a single afternoon. Think back to those precious times you spent with your own grandparents. How much would you give to be able to relive just one? Take stock. Do your own grandchildren have a similar storehouse of precious memories? And don’t give me that, “But my grandkids live so far away!” Get in the car! Take off! That’s why God made gasoline. And, if worse comes to worse, you can spend your remaining prison sentence reliving that one gloriously ridiculous and totally priceless day you broke the law. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

An unusual summer for Missouri’s government This summer was one of Missouri government’s most unusual for a time when state government usually slows down. It began when Gov. Eric Grietens called two special sessions in a row -- one to work on utility breaks for smelting plants and the other for anti-abortion bills. There have not been two special sessions in the same year in more than decade. The last was in 2003. And both those special sessions essentially dealt the same issue -- the state’s budget and Democratic Gov. Bob Holden’s unsuccessful efforts to get the GOP legislature to pass a tax increase. This year’s second special session had couple of other unusual aspects. First, the governor attempted to restrict his call by issuing a second proclamation that was less extensive on banning local ordinances involving pregnancy-choice decisions. Missouri’s Constitution allows a governor to expand an ongoing special session with other proposals. That’s happened frequently over the decades. But the Constitution is silent as to whether the governor can issue a new call to restrict items in his initial call. It may be a legal issue of no consequence, since lawmakers regularly spon-

sor bills not included in governor’s call, as they did this year. Another unusual aspect of that second special session was the degree to which the Senate caved in to the House which passed a version of the abortion bill the governor had endorsed. With fewer members, the Senate tends to be the stronger of the two bodies. Not this year. The Senate simply slam-dunked the House version before ending the session. A few critics charged by Phill Senate members just Brooks wanted to get home sooner for summer vacations. But some senators argued they simply liked the stronger House language rather than the earlier Senate version that was concocted to avoid a Democratic filibuster. The budget presented another departure from normalcy this summer. The governor waited until the last possible day to sign the budget -- June 30, just one day before the budget year began. And unlike prior governors, Greietens did not hold a news conference to explain his budget decisions. There was another twist to the budget.

Greitens did not use his line-item veto powers to reduce a single spending item. Instead, he used his power to withhold appropriated funds from agencies. That’s been an increasing trend because it gives governors more flexibility to release money if tax collections improve. But this is the first time I can remember that all of the spending cuts to the legislative-passed budget were in the form of withholdings. Another unusual development this summer arose from an appointment to the state Board of Education. Appointed was Delbert Scott, a highly respected former long-term member of the Missouri legislature. But just a few days after his appointment announcement, Scott turned down the position because his membership would violate a state law that prohibits an Education Board member from being an offical with a private or public educational institution. Scott is the president of the Kansas Christian College. What made the situation even more unusual is that Scott’s son, Todd, is a lawyer who once worked for the state Senate and

Capitol Perspectives

now works for the governor. The legislature contributed to the summer’s departure from normalcy with far fewer bills taking full effect than normal -less than 50. That’s fewer than half in the last several summers. Despite a super-majority of Republican lawmakers, their productivity was frustrated by internal divisions and a governor who did not layout a detailed, comprehensive legislative agenda. The bizarre nature of this summer was capped by a couple of legislative socialmedia gaffs that got national attention. The first came from Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-St. Louis County, who suggested a presidential assassination. That led to calls for her resignation. But Rep. Warren Love, R-Osceola, apparently did not learn the lesson about the dangers of social media. He came under attack for a social-media post that critics charged advocated lynching the vandals of a Confederate memorial.

Letter questions parade registration requirements ...and the Police Chief’s response

Dear Editor: For 20+ years my family and I have participated multiple times in parades in Coffee, Cowgill, Hamilton, Jameson, Kidder, Osborn, and Winston. To participate at these venues you show up, sign up, usually a 5x7 card, and are given a number and you’re in the parade. You throw candy to the kids of all ages. It’s all free and easy, the kids have a good time and you have good time. In the entire time we have been doing this I have not seen or heard of anyone being harmed by these activities.

The Gallatin parade is a bit of a different story. To sign up for this one you are given a twopage document with the heading, Gallatin Police. Page One is a list of rules for the parade including the prohibition for throwing candy, treats, etc from a moving vehicle. It reads that the police will lead the parade and there will be monitors every two blocks to ensure everyone is playing by the rules. The parade participant’s signature is required a the bottom of the page. Page Two is the sign up sheet with a 22-blank form to

fill out plus four lines for a narrative. Then you must give your signature again saying you have read and agree to all the rules. This control freak mentality by the police is understandable and necessary when applied to a crime/accident scene. It is unnecessary and asinine when applied to the Chautauqua parade. J.D. Lee, Gallatin

In response... I have attached a parade handout that is given to anyone who wishes to be in a parade in Gallatin. The rules outlined

An Open Letter to the People of Altamont

On Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017, I had the misfortune of attending a so-called Village Ordinance meeting in the village of Altamont. In my 80 years on this earth, I have attend hundreds if not thousands of meetings in both business and other organizations, setting with both the CEO’s of Ford Motor and Chrysler at different times. Never have I seen such a farce as the Altamont meeting. The blatant misconduct of the so-called Chairman of the Board was not only rude, unknowledgeable and completely unacceptable that it approaches only one of two options: complete ignorance or complete stupidity. I can’t count the number of times I heard the Chairman state, “We only have an hour for this meeting ...I’m not getting paid for this.” Madam Chairman, if not getting paid for something you volunteered to do bothers you, then resign. Toward the end of the meeting, the Chair asked for questions from the citizens at the meeting. One gentleman asked, “As you know, I do a lot of walking in this town. I keep getting

chased by loose dogs. What is being done to correct this?” The Chair’s reply was, “We are doing the best we can.” The gentleman then said, “I thought we hired someone to take care of this problem. I was even chased by your dog!” The Chair raised her voice to the level of a scream, and her exact words were: “You are a liar. I only have one dog and it is always on a leash.” The gentleman they asked, “Why are you raising your voice to me” I’m not raising mine to you. I am only trying to get an answer to my question. The dog may not belong to you but it came off your property, and I assumed it belonged to you.” The Chairman, still at a scream level, then stated “I am not putting up with this anymore. I’m leaving the meeting now. Better yet, I will call the sheriff and have you removed. I am adjourning this meeting for five minutes so I can call the sheriff.” The gentleman stated, “Say ‘Hello’ to him for me. I am only attempting to get an answer to my question. Why won’t you answer my question?” The Chairman, still at a

scream, said “Get out now!” Finally, the gentleman, never getting an answer to his question, got up and left. The Chair then stated, “I have never seen anyone so rude. He called me a liar. I don’t have to put up with that.” No, Madam Chairman, the gentleman did not call you a liar. It was you that pointed your finger at him and screamed, “You are a liar.” The meeting was adjourned at that time but that did not stop the Chairman’s ranting for the next 10 to 15 minutes about the incident. Not one board member said one word to the Chairman about her misconduct. People of Altamont, why do we put up with this? Get rid of this bunch. I keep hearing, “They are going to do what they want and not listen to the people.” If we want them to do what we want, we must vote them out! Then you hear, “My vote doesn’t count. They have too many friends and relatives voting for them.” You are right; your vote doesn’t count unless you cast it. You must do three things: 1) register to vote

are for the welfare of the public and participants. These restrictions are also directly related to suggestions from the city’s insurance carriers and are in response to various incidents, accidents and injuries at parades across the country. I have been with the Gallatin Police Department for 18 years, and in that time I have worked every parade, as well as been a participant in several. On more than one occasion I have seen children run in front of vehicles or get to close to floats in an attempt to retrieve candy.

2) go to the polls and cast your vote 3) vote for a person that you believe has the people of Altamont’s interest at heart. If that person doesn’t do the job you want, then vote him/her out and keep voting until we get somebody on the board that will look out for the people. This is how our government works. It will work if we make it work. Sincerely, Edward E. Miller, Altamont

As you know a parade float can be large and have limited visibility and we certainly do not want anyone to be injured at an event that is intended to be fun. Therefore, we regulate the throwing of candy to persons walking in the parade as opposed to an outright ban on candy, as many other cities have done. As with all parades, a Police vehicle is required to lead the parade to clear the route of any traffic or pedestrians and to let the public know the parade has begun. I have also at times observed a vehicle unknowingly pull onto the roadway only to see the patrol vehicle and pull back off. I’m confident that everyone wants a safe and enjoyable parade, and I believe these safeguards go a long way in assuring that this happens. Chief Mark Richards, Gallatin Police Department

City’s process to deal with condemned houses slow, but gaining, three of six have been torn down Gallatin Board of Aldermen discussed a condemned house that recently sold during their meeting held Monday, Sept. 11. The house is a brick house at 212 North Maple. The new owners told the city they plan to remodel the house. It will remain classified as condemned until it is compliant with the city codes. According to Chief of Police Mark Richards, there are six houses in Gallatin which were condemned between 2006-2009. Three of those houses: 2017 North Maple, 204 South Main, and a house on Corrine behind the old Masonic Lodge, have all been torn down and the properties cleaned. The three condemned houses are at 502 South Water (though steps have been taken to secure the residence by the owners), a house at 204 South Water, and the recently purchased house at 212 North Maple, mentioned earlier. “There are several reasons a house or building may be condemned,” Chief Richard said. “In general, houses that have been condemned are uninhabitable and are a hazard to the community. They need to be boarded up or torn down.” Chief Richards said another half dozen houses in town are in violation of city codes and are close to being condemned. Chief Richards added that the process of demolishing a building for the owner can be expensive. Condemning a house is usually a last resort taken only when all other efforts have failed to improve the condition of the building. His department is willing to work with property owners who have concerns about city codes.

Call the Gallatin Police Department at 663-3580 with questions. Rapid Removal trash service has asked the City of Gallatin to change recycle pick up days from Tuesday and Wednesday to just Wednesday. The trash company will place notice of the change in the recycle bins.

Parade Marshals: Celebrating Lola & Kenneth Critten’s story (continued from for Lola’s family since repairmen for that model were so hard to find.” When they were first married, Kenny not only farmed row crop but continued the dairy while setting Longwood furnaces into customer homes during the summer months. For a time they tried hog production, raising as many as 5,000 head at one time. But then Lola literally put her foot down marking a dramatic end to that endeavor. “We were sorting hogs, working together in a mudfilled lot,” Lola says. “He pointed where he wanted me but when I tried to move I just ran right out of my boots. The mud was knee-high. So, naturally I didn’t get the hogs over where he wanted them, and Kenny just lost it. He started beating the mud with his sorting stick, and I was not only stuck in the mud but getting sprayed, and so I told him that was it. No more hogs.” And that was that. Family is never far from removed from the Crittens’ story. Lola says she always had a curfew while dating Kenny, “and the porch light went on immediately whenever we drove up so that we wouldn’t stay alone in the car.” But Kenny is quick to add how he found Lola’s parents to be supportive with never a cross word. Time passed. After Kenny and Lola married, and while their kids were still small, family circumstances eventually prompted land exchanges. Lola and Kenny moved from Jameson to the original Critten homestead place, roughly eight miles east of Gallatin where their handsome and comfortable brick ranch home stands today. Family is always nearby. All three of their sons — Kris, Kevin and Kent — work at the Landmark plant. Kevin and Pam Critten are the parents of Kelly (now a mother of two, Kohl and Olivia); Kase, enrolled in college; and Kristen, employed at GFG Ag Services. Kent and Kim Critten are the parents of Klark and Taylor who are in college, and Trace who attends high school. Lola maintains memberships in the Master Gardeners, the Daviess County Business Women Association, and the Learn & Do Club (where she’s a 50-year charter member). She’s also active in Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness. She loves gardening, and most especially the flowers. “If I weren’t active, I’d just be sitting here waiting for Kenneth to get home,” she says. “He’s a workaholic!” Lola continues her longtime role in the Landmark office keeping the books, a job that she learned from Kenny’s mother. She keeps the books for both the factory and the farm. Just as Kenneth’s mother helped Lola perform important accounting practices for the family business, Lola is now helping Kelly go forward in that role. For over 30 years, Kenny’s main recreational interest took shape in annual elk hunting trips — scheduled, of course, only after the crops were harvested. Some of these experiences and often humorous antics are legendary among the list of willing participants. The original quartet of hunters included Jim Wilcox, Roy Bottorff, and Elvin Noel who joined Kenneth. There are stories of earthquakes, peach cans as bear bait, and the time Kenny used a chainsaw file to relieve an aching tooth. Who says Kenneth never had any time for fun?

About Critten Farms Farming means long hours, and no one in the family is excluded. While Kenny’s brother, Don, mostly aligned with work at the factory, Kenny recalls one humorous incident while Don was astride a farm tractor. “For years my brother and I farmed at nights after working at the plant during the day,” Kenny says. “Don, with only one good leg, was not what you’d call mobile so we tried to keep track of him whenever he worked alone in the bottoms. One night I watched for the longest time but was unable to see any tractor lights. So, I went to check. I found the tractor and started to climb into the cab when I decided to yell. Evidently, Don was asleep in the seat and when he startled up we were both scared to death that we’d found each other!” The brothers were a remarkable team, working together until deciding to jointly retire about 8 or 9 years ago. That’s looking back. Kenny prefers to look forward. “My boys (Kevin and Kent) asked me what I wanted to do during my retirement,” Kenny says. “I said I’d like to consistently raise 100-bushel wheat, 300-bushel corn and 100-bushel soybean yields ... now, let’s make it happen.” The Crittens embrace technology and new methods. They were among the first to contract for the production of white corn in Daviess County. Today, half of their farm is devoted to seed soybean production. This involves flying seed here from Argentina. “Sometimes we’re working with things four to five years before others around here actually begin to see it — including non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) which meant much of the Critten harvest last year was delivered to Tyson livestock operations at Springdale, Ark. But of all the changes impacting agriculture during these several past decades, Kenny points to grid sampling as having the greatest impact. “We started about 13-14 years ago, doing grid sampling on 4-acre grids,” Kenny says. “Now we’re down to 2.5-acre grids. It’s all about getting consistency.” Lola and Kenny are proud of the technical savvy their sons Kent and Kevin bring into the family’s farming. Although Lola does not describe her husband as an avid reader, she marvels how Kenny consumes nearly every

Lola and Kenneth as newlyw eds on Aug. 3 0 , 19 6 4

page of many ag journals. And she laughs at how Kenny constantly questions his sons on new ways and ideas he uncovers. Lola plays a big part in those essential conversations by hosting the family’s daily noon meal. Seed reps, farm workers, and friends frequently sit around the table. Farm planning and strategies are the staples as much as Lola’s tasty table fare. The noon hour’s brief respite from work affords time for a laser focus on the details essential for success. What’s next? Kenny gets excited over methods which might unlock the potential of gumbo soil. “We’re spreading ‘gym soil’ ... trying to get the gumbo to release its magnesium. We’ll be doing sampling this fall to see if we’re on the right track.” Meanwhile, Kenny has found satisfaction in retirement — work. Although his typical day now starts with breakfast in town, come 8 a.m. or so you’ll find him operating earth scrapers on a significant water impoundment project. He works there until dusk almost daily, although harvest duties are about to become priority. The water impoundment project is a vision Kenny engineers in his mind as the work unfolds. It includes moving over 100,000 cubic yards of dirt to build a dam, a floating device to draw river water regardless of ebb and flow, 4-inch field tile for sub-terrain irrigation, and a manual gating system to not only irrigate when needed but also to quickly drain unwanted surface water away when necessary. Kenny says he is retired, a statement some might question. But to Kenny, retirement is an opportunity for investment. He acknowledges that this visionary water impoundment project might take 4-5 years to accomplish. But he also knows most intimately how future generations on the Critten Farm will benefit.

About Landmark Mfg. The scope and impact of Landmark Manufacturing to this area can hardly be overstated. At its zenith the Critten family enterprise employed over 430 workers. A vast array of metal products fabricated for a long list of customers can be cited, including military grade parts manufactured for the U.S. Army and Navy. During the past five decades there have been nine major building additions onto the factory. The Crittens kept pouring concrete for expansions despite serious challenges in securing adequate utilities including electricity, water and gas as well as paved road access. Nowadays, add broadband internet access to the list. Looking at the sprawling factory today belies its more humble beginnings. Before Landmark it was Longwood Manufacturing, maker of home heating units that burned long pieces of wood. Business didn’t take off until 1962 when the “dual fuel” concept added either stove oil or propane gas into the wood burning mix. To keep up with product demand, the Crittens built a metal press only to see their use exceed the single phase electrical capacity that was available on their farm. So,

page 1)

in typical “can do” fashion, they rigged a Chevrolet motor outside the shed to power the press, much like a PTO enables a tractor to power farm equipment. By this time Kenny’s brother, Don, was off to school which eventually meant teaching math classes and physics at Chillicothe. Longwood Manufacturing was established in 1953. Furnace production was scheduled as farming would allow, primarily during the summer season. But customer demand for Longwood furnaces kept growing. “If you’re not going ahead, you’re falling behind,” says Kenneth. “We knew we had to start building more furnaces than just during the summertime, but financially we were always working on a shoestring.” As sales increased to locations nearly nationwide, so did product liability issues. This prompted a decision to switch from furnace production to metal fabrication. This coincided with the general ag crisis when rural households on tight budgets ordered fewer wood burning furnaces. Longwood legally separated from the emerging Landmark Manufacturing, and in 1980 Longwood Manufacturing relocated at Trenton to continue its business. Landmark Mfg. soon needed more metal stamping presses to fill various orders. For awhile, Landmark was sending five trailer truckloads of combine parts to AllisChalmers in Independence each day. Business boomed during times when hard stamping parts was the predominant practice. “We bought a lot of metal presses off the automakers in Detroit,” says Kenneth. “But we also bought a lot of government surplus presses that were in storage since World War II. I spent six weeks at Mechanicsburg, PA, following just one of these auctions. The problem wasn’t so much buying the presses as it was finding ways to ship them back here once we bought them.” These metal presses are unusually large — among the largest you can find anywhere between Chicago and Dallas. Kenneth recalls many trips aided by local trucker Tommy McWilliams and others. Lola remembers once when a press arrived on a flatbed secured by only four bolts. “It’s just hard for most people to understand what that means,” she says. “There were only four bolts because the weight of another bolt pushed the total beyond the legal limit.” Finding a way sometimes meant scheduling a route up into and across Canada and then southward through the Dakotas because of permit issues getting through Illinois and Iowa. “And Missouri, at that time, just wasn’t particularly business friendly.” The company’s worst test came during 1992-93 after a devastating fire which started in the factory’s paint room. The $6 million setback caused the Crittens to work 18hour days, every day of each week for nearly 10 months before things were put back together again. And then the Grand River flood of 1993 hit. “We moved sand every waking moment,” Kenneth recalls. “It wasn’t a matter of whether you were going to get stuck but how many times you were stuck each and every day. At times, looking at everything we had, we were down to only one piece of equipment — all our motor graders, bulldozers, trucks, tractors — everything was stuck in the mud.” Landmark offers superior quality, design and service to its customers. It is ISO 9001 (2008) certified and is a consistent award-winning supplier for Kubota. Landmark offers start-to-finish capabilities with stamping presses up to 2000 ton, robotic welding, and E-coat primer paint finishing capabilities, accompanied by Laser Cutting and Horizontal Machining Centers. But in business the challenges never end. “We don’t have to worry about U.S. competitors,” says Kenny, “because there are so few of them.” Lola adds, “The jobs are going south, to countries who pay low wages and have hardly any government regulation. We’ve never really been on a level playing field.” This is reality now confronting the next generation, with Lola and Kenneth still interested and supportive as responsibilities have passed on to their children.

A salute as Parade Marshals For all this and more, Kenny and Lola Critten are being honored by this community during the weekend’s fall festival. Usually, the benefits of family to community flow the other way. Perhaps too few of us remember the important part Kenny played in resolving the school’s energy consumption issues when he served on the Gallatin R-5 Board of Education. Today few know how the Crittens donate rip-rap and trucking to shore up an eroding river bed that threatens a county bridge. Nor do many realize how maintenance costs on the road leading to the county’s largest employer are shouldered entirely by Landmark Manufacturing — without expectation or complaint. Being visionary in setting goals. Preparing ways to translate problems into opportunities. Focusing on the task at hand. Working relentlessly until goals are accomplished or revised to the acceptable. Family. Realizing that success is best described as “What’s next?” ... and living it. These are but a few reasons why so many respect Kenny and Lola Critten and why so many are pleased to see these friends honored as grand marshals of the Chautauqua parade. Their story is one to celebrate.

Search warrant in Gallatin yields three arrests On Sept. 5, a search warrant was executed by the Daviess County Sheriff’s office and the Highway Patrol at 212 W. Jackson Street in Gallatin. Three arrests were made. The search revealed multiple controlled substances, including methamphetamine, and multiple items of drug paraphernalia, all within easy access of a six-year-old female minor child who was living there. There were also large numbers of cockroaches in all rooms, as well as a large amount of mouse feces, dirt and filth. The parents of the child, Kelly Clevenger, 39, and Susan Clevenger-Bradford, 33, have been charged as follows: Kelly Clevenger, two counts class D felony

Possible scam

The Daviess County Assessor’s office has been alerted to a possible scam. Landowners should be wary of unsolicited letters which state intent to purchase tracts of land. The company which sends the letter lists a website and an address in Denver, Colo., and claims that they will deliver a cashier’s check in as little as three days after the price is agreed upon. The company also claims that it will pay all associated costs of completing the transaction, including back taxes, title and escrow fees. Although there are no known instances where this has occurred in Daviess County, some of these letters have been received in other Missouri counties. Proceed with caution if you receive one of these solicitations.

Gallatin’s Lady Bulldogs wrapped up play in the Grand River Conference East Division on Tuesday with a victory and finished a stretch of 6 games over the course of 7 days with a 7-6 overall record and 4-3 mark in conference play. Gallatin hits the road for 3 games before returning home Sept. 21 to host the GRC crossover game against a West Division opponent. G allatin 12 , M ilan 1 Freshman Caragan Baker has many softball days and nights ahead of her, but Tuesday was a day she will likely long remember. Baker led a 13-hit Lady Bulldog attack with a single and three doubles, the last which cleared the bases in the bottom of the fifth inning and sent visiting Milan home with a 12-1 GRC loss. And there were other heroics at the plate. Aubrey Feiden doubled twice, tripled and scored 3 runs. Kelsey Maxwell singled twice, tripled and scored 3 times. Maelea Coulson singled hard 3 times and drove in 3 runs. Karley Salmon doubled and scored and shut down Lady Wildkat bats on the way to pitching a 3-hitter. Addison Burns scored a pair of runs for Gallatin. Essie Williamson and Carli Beck each contributed a run to the GHS total.

M id-B uch anan 6, G allatin 3 The Lady Dragons’ success on Monday was all about getting lead-off batters on base. Mid-Buchanan started 5 of 7 innings with a runner on base, as opposed to 2 of 7 for the Lady Bulldogs. Gallatin jumped out on top, 2-0, in the second inning when Maelea Coulson launched a two-run homer to center field, but Lady Dragon pitcher Erin Hyde silenced GHS bats, at one time striking out 5 straight in the middle innings. The visitors tied the score in the third inning and took a 3-2 lead in the fifth by playing “small ball.” Aubrey Feiden walked with two outs in the fifth, stole second, moved to third on an error and came home on a wild pitch to knot the score again at 3-3. Mid-Buchanan put the game away in the top of the seventh with three runs on three singles, an error and wild pitch. Mid-Buchanan took the junior varsity game, 11-5, taking advantage of 8 GHS errors. Singles by Bethany Bailey and Maddi Michael drove in runs for Gallatin. Morgan Glidewell also singled and Madalyn Shubert doubled for the Lady Bulldogs. 3 rd at K ing City Gallatin withstood a seventh ( c onti nued on P ag e 16 )

Bulldogs end eight-year drought with dominating 42-6 win over Polo Gallatin’s long football dry spell against Polo came to a satisfying halt Friday night as the Bulldogs put a 42-6 pasting on the Panthers in front of a large home crowd. Offense took center stage for the Bulldogs as they raised their season record to 3-1 and stayed in a tie with Princeton for the lead in the GRC. Three different Dogs, Corbin Toney, Cole McBee and Caleb Boyd, each accounted for over 100 yards of total offense. Polo scored first on a 36-yard screen pass late in the first quarter but Gallatin’s defense hunkered down and pitched a shutout the rest of the way. The Bulldogs went up, 7-6, with under a minute left in the opening

period when Toney bobbed and weaved on a 22-yard scoring run. Adrian Hernandez kicked the first of six extra points he converted for the game. Special teams play set up a second GHS score before the end of the first half. Colin Beck boomed a punt inside the Panther 20yard line and a block in the back penalty pushed the pigskin back inside the 10. After a defensive stop, Gaven Gray returned a punt 26 yards to the Panther 23. McBee scored on a keeper and with the PAT Gallatin took a 14-6 lead into the locker room. Boyd put the Bulldogs on the board again with 6:23 left in the third, taking a pitch from McBee and breaking tackles down the Panther sideline from 14 yards out. Gallatin ate time off the clock with another scoring drive, capped on the first play of the fourth quarter by a McBee fouryard plunge off right tackle. Toney broke the 100-yard rushing mark with his second scoring run of the game, this time from 33 yards midway through the fourth quarter. Boyd took advantage of a muffed Panther punt return to score again from 44 yards with 5:35 left in the game.

Toney finished with a teamhigh 115 yards rushing. McBee ran for 108 yards and threw for 93 more. Boyd rushed for 56 yards on just five carries, caught four passes for 65 yards and also finished with 65 punt return yards. Tom Crouse led Bulldog defensive efforts with seven solo tackles and three assists. Noah Engel finished with three solos and five assists. South Harrison, Gallatin’s next opponent on Friday, ended a long drought of its own last week with a 44-6 victory over Maysville. The purple and white Bulldogs had not won in 14 previous contests dating back to the 2015 district playoffs. Gallatin, 3-1 and 2-0 in the Grand River Conference, seeks a fourth win it did not get until game week seven last season. In other games round the GRC, Princeton rolled up over 500 yards of offense on Trenton, beating the Bulldogs for the first time since 1943. Princeton quarterback Andrew Smith threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 156 yards and five touchdowns. Another previously winless team, Putnam County, downed Milan, 24-21.

Cravens Camp spruces up cannon Members of the local Surgeon John Cravens SCV Camp 2276 did a community project to spruce up the cannon at the military honorarium on the courthouse lawn this past weekend. They cleaned and painted the cannon in preparation for the upcoming Daviess County Chautauqua. Camp

Commander Lanny Dixon and his fellow Sons of Confederate Veterans, along with other lineage societies, choose to honor, preserve and remember history. The SCV Camp believes there is no malice in remembrance, only honor and commitment to keep history alive for the ages.

Hurricane (continued from page 1) my mother-in-law from Maine, who seemed to have chosen a bad week to visit her new granddaughter. As Irma crept along, leveling islands in the Caribbean, Keith and I decided our family would not evacuate our four-story cement complex mainly because our hurricane-proof windows face an interior courtyard and our vehicles are in a covered parking structure. I heard a news anchor say, “You run from water and hide from wind.” In our location 14 miles from the ocean, we would have vicious wind, but no storm damage. Our concern was the possibility of trees in the courtyard being uprooted and coming through our window, but we have an interior

bathroom and walk-in closet that we could camp in. Despite the urges from family and friends to join the five million other evacuating Floridians, we knew our home was the safest place to be. We were confident in our decision to stay, and we were at peace as the eye of the Cat 5 storm swirled our way. We prepared as well as we knew how, Googling Floridian hurricane tips and texting with friends who had just survived Hurricane Harvey in Houston. As gas stations in the area ran out of fuel, we waited a comparably short 30 minutes to fill up our tank. Luckily, our cabinet was already stocked with black beans, tuna and peanut butter because the grocery store shelves of non-

Guilty (Cont. from page 1) he had tampered with drugs on all the ambulances prior to that as well. Comstock also admitted that he tampered with drugs when he visited the Gallatin ambulance building on Feb. 24, 2015. An employee found Comstock (who had stopped working at the Gallatin ambulance company in June 2014) inside the Gallatin ambulance building. Comstock explained he had come by the Gallatin facility to use the treadmill. Later that same day, the employee went on a service call and treated a man suffering from leg pain with 100 mcg of fentanyl; however, the man did not receive any pain relief. When the employee returned, he examined the narcotics cabinet and found several fentanyl vials with loose caps, as well as morphine that appeared to have been tampered with. The Gallatin ambulance director told federal agents about another suspicious situation at his ambulance building involving Comstock that occurred a week earlier. On Feb. 17, 2015, Comstock stopped by the ambulance building to visit with another paramedic. The next day, another employee checked the narcotics cabinet and noticed two fentanyl vials without their tamper-resistant caps. Subsequently several other fentanyl vials were discovered to have been tampered with. Under federal statutes, Comstock is subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison without parole on each of the three counts. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as

the sentencing of the defendants will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. Sentencing hearings will be scheduled after the completion of presentence investigations by the United States Probation Office. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin G. Davids. It was investigated by the Food and Drug Administration – Office of Criminal Investigation and the Bethany Police Department.

perishables were already wiped clean, except for pickled pig’s feet, and canned squid and herring. I filled Ziploc bags with water and froze them for drinking water, put a box of valuables in the waterproof dishwasher and filled the bathtub with water to be used to bathe and flush the toilet, if we lost electricity. We were ready. On Friday evening, Irma changed her path. She hit Cuba, slowing her devastating winds to Category 4 levels, and she made a westward turn, which took Miami out of her direct path. The tension that had silently been building in our apartment was released. We knew we would still get bands of heavy rain and tornado-like winds, but we would not experience the destructive eye of the storm. Irma made landfall 160 miles west of us as a Cat 4 hurricane. We experienced constant 50 mph winds with gusts clocked around 80 mph, but a few as high as 99 mph. From inside our apartment we could hear every gust and saw numerous palm fronds snap and fall from the skinny trees that were swaying in our courtyard. We did go out into our garage and listened to the wind sweep down our street. It definitely didn’t sound like a freight train, as I had heard on videos from Puerto Rico. But there was a constant low hum below the sounds of rustling trees.

Ultimately, Saturday and Sunday ended up being like many other rainy Miami weekends, except for the overhanging edge of uncertainty that came with the worst six-hour window Sunday morning. We were among the 25% in our county to never lose electricity, despite a few long flickers late Sunday afternoon. So, we were able to cook, use our phones and watch the U.S. Open. Luckily, the storm hit us during daylight hours, taking away the uncertainty of the darkness of night. By nightfall Sunday, her winds had dropped to 35 mph and we were done with Irma. A final gust of wind rattled the screen on the window of Sara’s room. The palm trees in the courtyard looked exhausted from dancing in the wind all day, and the short bushes were finally at rest. Bella (the cat) hopped into our bed, stretched her legs, and then curled up at Keith’s feet. As I kissed Sara good night and set her in her bassinet, she let out a loud sigh then fell asleep. We had experienced our first hurricane as the LaBrie family. The storm was over and we were once again at peace.

Chili cook off is hot stuff The annual Chautauqua chili cook-off will get fired up on Saturday, Sept. 16, on the Gallatin square.
