35-year verdict for child pornography
Wet, wet... and what a mess!
Guilty plea on 3 counts; 29 remaining counts dismissed
You may take fresh, treated water coming from your tap
On Dec. 1, Cameron Wilson, 35, Gallatin, was sentenced to consecutive sentences of 15 years, 10 years, and 10 years, on three B felony counts of possession of child pornography. The consecutive sentencing amounts to a 35-year sentence. Wilson plead guilty Sept. 25 to the three charges. The case was heard by Thomas Chapman in Livingston County on a change of venue from Daviess County which occurred on Sept. 16, 2015. The 29 remaining counts will be dismissed based on a plea agreement. “Child pornography is a seri-
ous issue with long lasting repercussions to victims in this internet era,” said Daviess County Prosecutor Annie Gibson. “I strongly believe that justice has been served by this plea agreement. Many thanks to all of those who worked on this case, as well as the young man who reported this defendant to begin the investigation which led to these charges.” Wilson was charged on July 28, 2015, with 30 counts of possession of child pornography, one count of furnishing pornographic material to a minor, and one count of promoting child pornog-
raphy to a minor. Based on the probable cause statement, the charges originate from an incident at Gallatin Plaza Apartments in March 2015 when Wilson invited a 12-yearold into his apartment to look at his knife collection and presented pornographic material to the minor. The probable cause statement was prepared by the Gallatin Police Department. Initially, Wilson was charged with only two counts of pornography. However, after seized items at his apartment were examined by a regional computer forensics
for granted — until suddenly you’re without. That was the reminder to some households near Rest Easy Apartments Tuesday night when a water line ruptured on East Grand Street. City workers were on the scene from 1 to about 9 p.m. completing repairs while enduring increasing strong, gusting winds and dropping temperatures. The actual amount of treated water lost during the line break cannot be known although, obviously, it was significant.

Driver inhales air duster, crashes into car to face 2nd degree murder charge Shawn Michael Yuille, 23, was charged with second degree murder in Livingston County on Nov. 30. The charges stem from an accident that happened at Washington Street (Hwy. 65) and Calhoun Street in downtown Chillicothe at about 5 p.m. on Nov. 25. Yuille is formerly of Gallatin who now resides in Trenton. He currently is an inmate at the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail in Pattonsburg. His booking date was Nov. 30. According to a report by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as Danette Rardon, 39, Chillicothe, was driving a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe westbound on Calhoun Street making a right turn onto Washington Street. Yuille was northbound on Washington Street, driving a 2004 Ford F-150. He failed to stop at a red light and struck the Rardon vehicle in the driver’s side.

Both vehicles skidded north on Washington Street for approximately 200 feet. Ms. Rardon’s vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a sign pole. The Yuille pickup ran off the right side of the roadway and came to rest facing east. Ms. Rardon was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Scott Lindley. Mr. Yuille received serious injuries and was taken by Chillicothe Ambulance to Hedrick Medical Center and then by lifeflight to St. Luke’s on the Plaza. Yuille’s five-year-old daugh-
ter, Izzabella, received moderate injuries and was taken by Chillicothe Ambulance to Hedrick Medical Center and then by Children’s Mercy Helicopter to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. An occupant in the Yuille vehicle, Jeremy Osburn, 22, Chillicothe, received minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene. Livingston County Prosecuting Attorney Adam Warren filed the charges Nov. 30, which allege that Yuille inhaled air duster twice while driving and had passed out behind the wheel several blocks prior to the point of impact. The report also states that Yuille’s vehicle was traveling at approximately 84 miles per hour in the 25 mile per hour zone when it ran the red light. According to a probable cause statement filed by Cpl. J. Gillliland with the Missouri State (continued on page 13)

It’s worth the $5 by Freida Marie Crump
‘Tis the season of Christmas concerts Odds are we’re going to miss our share of Christmas programs in the years ahead, with eight grandkids multiplying the mix. We’re not off to a particularly good start. Our oldest grandchild has chosen to play trumpet, despite her braces. She’s following in the footsteps of her parents. I couldn’t be more proud. But we’re going to have to miss her very first instrumental concert. So, in part to make amends, we decided to embark on a new tradition of taking one grandchild (without any siblings) to something we hope will encourage aspirations. For this 11-year-old now adding trumpet at school to piano lessons, last Friday night was opportunity. We were among the 1,800 who attended a performance by the Canadian Brass with the Kansas City Symphony at the Kauffman Center. Adventure is the right word. Like my granddaughter, this was my first visit to the impressive performing arts center in downtown Kansas City. And, as I suspected, the experience was quite unusual and memorable. We were lucky to get tickets. By the time the idea took hold to go just before Thanksgiving, the only consecutive seats left to be had were in the choral loft. This put us above and behind the stage and yet very close to the performers. There was risk in hoping to eat at a downtown BBQ restaurant close by since they didn’t accept reservations for parties numbering less than six. Our

backup plan was an adjacent restaurant known for pastas. With a couple of hours before curtain, we chose not to waste an hour’s wait at the former, then learned the latter had a two-and-a-half hour waiting list for service! We wound up at a Spanish restaurant where (luckily) an explanation of each menu item was printed in small type in parenthesis. That foreshadowed the food. The plates were large

and rectangular in dramatic contrast to the small amount of food served. As a meat-and-potatoes truck stop type of guy, I wasn’t exactly surprised. Except by the bill ...and the way all the waiters seemed to hover around the door all the more for their tip. But, mission accomplished, we were in our loft seats in good time. It was promoted as a Christmas concert. But when the 5-member Canadian Brass ensemble made their entrance playing a Dixieland version of “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” I knew we were in for a treat. In case you don’t know, the Canadian Brass is world renowned. The quintet formed in 1970 in Toronto, Ontario, by a tuba player joined by a French horn player, trombonist and a pair of trumpeters. These professionals are so outstanding that even the KC Symphony orchestra members stopped to listen and then applaud with the delighted audience. It was a great night! The original tubist, Charles Daellenbach, still performs and steals the show with his humor and showmanship. It’s no wonder the Canadian Brass has a library of more than 600 compositions and arrangements specially and uniquely fashioned for them. We’ve enjoyed a few of their CDs over the years. There was, of course, Christmas music on the program. The only disappointment in my view
was being seated too close to the percussion section. Sometimes we were unable to hear that musical balance blending string instruments with brass, especially whenever the chimes were struck — and it’s amazing how many Christmas songs include chimes. But no matter. The world class quintet was in their usual dark suits with white tennis shoes. Their performance of the opera “Carmen” was terrific ...and I don’t particularly like opera. Maybe it was the tubist wearing a hat sprouting bull horns, playing while laying on the floor after the “matador” won the duel. It definitely was the medley which condensed 2.5 hours of opera into about five minutes of fun. I think our 11-year-old enjoyed the evening, especially when we stopped for a milkshake and a cheeseburger on the way home. She was so sleepy by the time we hit her driveway we have yet to talk much about the adventure from her perspective. When I asked, she did say yes to whether she’d like to go again. That’s success. When you’re planting seeds, you never know what will take and grow. As I reflect back on this Christmas adventure, I wonder just how far our little trumpeter will go. Music has always been important in our family, but I can’t help but wonder if some shortchanged their potential. Sometimes other interests in high school crowd music out; others in our family won awards, capped their instrumental music career and walked away after performing with honor bands abroad. Still others chose Marching Mizzou to put a lid on their chapter of instrumental music life. No, I don’t know how things look through the eyes of our 11-year-old granddaughter. But these old eyes noticed how the only professional trumpeters are men, how women seem only accepted professionally if performing string and other instruments. Wouldn’t it be something if somebody’s granddaughter someday could perform on stage as a member of the Canadian Brass? It’s a wonderful Christmas gift to dream on such things.
Greetings from Poosey. Herb shops once a year. That’s it. I’m not kidding. Except for replacing the batteries in his hearing aid or buying tickets to the Odd Fellows Oyster supper, he relies on me to purchase everything he needs. I see nothing wrong with this since I’m the brains of our marriage. But when he does go on his once-a-year Christmas shopping spree, the man has little judgment. He usually has maybe two gifts to buy for the holiday season and ends up buying more junk for himself than his intended recipients. “You’ll never guess what I found this morning, Freida.” “What’s that... a reason to live?” “Look at the price of this!” Herb handed me a flier from MallMart, one of the big box stores. “Just look at it! $129.95 for that beauty!” He was pointing to a camouflage hunting jacket with about six dozen pockets to store dead geese, I guess. “You don’t need a camo jacket, Herb. You don’t even hunt.” “It’s a fashion statement.” “Yeah, it’s a statement that this coat is being worn by a crazy old man who can barely hold a gun, much less shoot something with any accuracy. Besides, Harold Bradley has the same coat hanging in his store window.” Herb only gets to use his smug smile on rare occasions since he’s hardly ever right. This wasn’t one of those times. “I saw it. Harold’s got the same coat for $135. You can’t fool me, Freida. I’m one smart shopper.” “Five bucks? You’re going to send your money off to the MallMart corporate office in Bentville, Arkansas, for just five bucks?” Harold Bradley runs what we used to call a Dry Goods and Notions store not too far from Poosey, and his is one of the few retail stores around. His dad started the business in 1949 and what used to be the busiest corner in town has now dwindled down to a Which states spent store selling odds and ends while most on Black Friday sadly most folks shop online or in and Cyber Monday? bigger towns. “Herb, if you’ve got The D atadipity data scito buy such a foolish thing, buy it ence team conducted an onfrom Harold.” line and mobile surve y that “I can’t believe you, Freida! asked 4 ,0 0 0 A mericans how You’re always on me for wasting much they spent on Black F rimoney and now you want me to day weekend — the five-day period f rom N ov . 2 3- 2 7 , 2 0 17 , throw away five dollars?” that includes Thanksgivi ng, “How much fuel do you reckon Black F riday, and Cyber M onthe CEO of Mall-Mart buys from day.

A challenge to constitutional independence This fall, the state’s governor mounted a challenge to a major principle of Missouri’s Constitution -- the constitutionally guaranteed independence for a few state departments. The issue involves Eric Greitens’ efforts to get the independent state Board of Education to fire it’s education commissioner. But the commissioner answers only to the state Board of Education that is protected by Missouri’s Constitution from interference by the governor. For more than 120 years, there have been federal laws establishing independent federal agencies. But states are different from the federal government in using the Constitution -- the foundation of the structure of government -- to establish independent state departments. In Missouri, these protected departments include Conservation, Transportation and Education. There’s even one agency below a department level which the Constitution gives independence. It’s the University of Missouri Board of Curators which the Constitution grants the unique power of “government.” (Decades ago, a university president told me he thought that gave the curators power to impose a statewide tax for the university ...he was not joking.) These constitutionally protected agencies are governed by boards whose mem-
Pornography verdict laboratory (RCFL), those two charges were dismissed and refiled with 30 additional charges added on July 28, 2015. According to the probable cause statement, the RCFL located approximately 1,483 images on Wilson’s electronic equipment. Upon further review it was determined that 197 images were identified as minors, 12 years of age and younger, engaged in sexually explicit conduct. There was an undetermined

bers, once confirmed, serve for fixed terms and cannot be removed without cause. Over the decades, I’ve heard rural legislators passionately argue that hunting, fishing and wildlife protection are so fundamental to Missouri that they warrant constitutional protection from interference by politicians. As for the Transportation Department, you need only to look at other states that have suffered from the politi- b P ll cal intrigues of highway rook funding to understand the wisdom of the framers of Missouri’s Constitution to put that area under constitutional protection. If you have any doubts, just think about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christy’s “bridgegate.” Missouri’s Constitution assures no governor could do that in our state. The constitutional protection for education’s governing board goes back to the original 1945 Constitution. There even is a constitutional provision requiring the state to provide a minimum level of funding for public schools. But Greitens found a way around the Education Department’s independence. The loophole arises because Missouri’s legislature meets only during part
of the year. So, for more than six months when the legislature is not in session, the Senate cannot confirm the governor’s nominations. When that situation arises, Missouri law provides that a governor’s nomination becomes an immediate appointment, but which must be confirmed by the Senate within 30 days after the legislature comes back into session. This year, because of delayed nominations and resignations, Greitens got to name five Education Board members who took office without Senate confirmation. That gave the governor a five-vote majority on the eight-member board. Greitens, however, encountered a problem in his effort to fire the state’s education leader. One of his appointees did not want to rush to a judgment in firing the education commissioner. Greitens removed that nominee and then removed another who also voiced concerns about hasty action dismissing the education commissioner. Under the governor’s approach, these appointments pending Senate confirmation did not enjoy job protection. The story is still developing. The Senate’s Education Committee

number of minors 12-17 years of age engaged in sexually explicit conduct/acts, and 48 child erotica images of females ranging in age from 5-10 years of age. Upon further investigation it was determined that approximately 123 videos were easily identifiable as minors ranging in age from infant to 12 years of age, which were engaged in sexually explicit acts. Also contained on the electronic storage/media devices were images/videos of Wilson in representations of a pornographic nature of himself, sexual role playing communication which includes promotion of child pornographic materials via electronic correspondence and social media.
Hi folks! Thanks for reading this December edition of “Coffee Shop Talk” with Daviess County FSA. We finished November with .37 inches of rain compared to a normal 2.1. While we could use some subsoil moisture, I hope Mother Nature doesn’t send it all in the form of snow! Here are a few FSA topics and reminders for December. The Trump Administration recently appointed Richard Fordyce as the new State Executive Director for the USDA Missouri Farm Service Agency. Fordyce joined the Missouri FSA team on Monday, Nov. 13.

The next Missouri legislative session will begin after the holidays on Jan. 3, 2018. Until then, here are a couple of updates on issues that were previously in the news: Real ID and Minimum Wage. Years ago, Missouri’s minimum wage was the same as the federal minimum wage, which since 2009 has been $7.25/hour. But Missouri law dictates that our state’s minimum wage is periodically adjusted based on inflation and so, as of Jan. 1, Missouri’s minimum wage will raise from $7.70/hour to $7.85/hour. The minimum wage for tipped workers, such as restaurant and DAVIESS COUNTY: hotel wait staff, is half of minimum wage as long as their wage Commissioner (Associate, 1st District) plus their tips add up to more David Cox wage. than regular minimum 18141 State Hwy.

chair -- Gary Romine (R-Farmington) -vows to filibuster confirmation of Greitens’ appointees who voted to fire the education commission. Romine says there are other senators who share his concerns. I’m not completely sure blocking these nominations can stop the governor because there’s no enforceable provision setting a deadline for a governor to submit a nomination to the Senate. That means if Greitens’ nominees are not confirmed, the governor could wait until the Senate adjourns in the spring before appointing new Education Board replacements who then could vote to fire the state’s education commissioner. In the meantime, the governor’s latest fired appointee has filed suit challenging his dismissal on grounds that the governor violated a law protecting Education Board members from being removed without cause and a hearing. It’s a case that has the potential to address the much broader issue about constitutional independence.

Gallatin Writers Guild ... have they got a story for you! Join, but expect to see something in print It’s not enough for the Gallatin Writers Guild to dream about seeing their work in print — they are driven to produce. “The group had a goal to get focused and come up with published work,” says Rick Ripple of Gallatin. “And they have met that goal. They have published three books and have at least three articles up and running.” These writers don’t care how they go about it — long-hand with a pen, notepad with a stylus — as long as all those thoughts and feelings and ideas take shape. “Publishing is a way to get it out of my head and down on paper,” says Vanessa Mullins of Gallatin. Vanessa has written five books, including Nudges from God, The Case of the Missing Crown: A Gloria Jean Mystery, and The Christmas Gift. She published The Christmas Gift in 2012 and is currently pulling it off the website to edit again…and again…and again. Such vision and revision, the group agrees, is just part of the creative process. The guild doesn’t try to dictate the choice of subject — they write a mixed bag of fiction, history, poetry, essays and blogs. But what they will not allow is for things to just sit around in the proverbial drawer, never published, never read, never shared. “When the guild first started, we sat around talking and telling stories and not getting any writing done,” says Rick. “Then we got tough and timely. We needed to get our material out.” Rick is among the founding members of the guild and serves as unofficial president. “The group agreed that Rick should step forward in a leadership role,” says Jamie Beel. “We are lucky to have him.” “We were going to vote on a treasurer,” Rick smiles, then quips, “But what money?” The guild may not have a president or a vice-president or a treasurer, but what they do have is each other. Maybe they are struggling to develop a character or wrestling words into submission…the guild offers company for the sometimes frustrating and lonely writing experience. “The guild has really been important to me,” says Betty Plymell of Pattonsburg. “I tend to take things to heart.” Betty is working on a book called West to Missouri. The book is about young pioneers settling on a farm who become embroiled in the Civil War. She has recently published Dreaming of Missouri, which she says is both a love story and a historical lesson. Betty grew up listening to her father sing the old songs and tell the old stories while he plowed the fields and she rode atop the gentle work horse named Ole Barney. She lived the life of a pioneer in the years before electricity and tractors; she helped her family butcher hogs, raise chickens, fish and hunt. She has always been intrigued by the past, but didn’t start writing until 10 years ago. “I wanted to get down the story of my parents and grandparents,” she says. “I want young people to know what life was like for the former generations. Children today have no clue.” Her books are illustrated with her own sketches of everyday life back then.
The guild has fun... “But we also hold one another accountable,” says Jamie Beel. Jamie recently moved to remote acreage near Gallatin. Her work has appeared in the publications Wholeness and Healing, Country, When Smoke Filled the Sky, and the anthology A Crack in the Air. Currently she is at work on an adult fable about a little gypsy girl and the orphaned wolf cub she befriends. Members of the guild bounce off ideas and get feedback. They share information about contests, workshops and publishing opportunities. They bring material in to look at and read aloud and sometimes send copies home with each other. They brainstorm for markets. They talk about rejection and remind one another that it’s not about you, it’s about the work. The guild is also a practical source for information on the publishing process. “We’ve had four or five guest writers come speak, a government man, a couple of publishers, a story teller, and a poet,” says Rick. Established in 2015, the group opened to members impassioned by the pen, but with too much gift for gab. They think they may have lost some of their initial members because they didn’t knuckle down. “We weren’t writing,” says Vila Gingerich of Jamesport. “We were more of a social group.” Vila grew up in Mennonite communities across the Midwest. She lives on 50 acres near Jamesport with her husband, cats, and an overgrown vegetable garden. She was a winner of the 2014 Highlights for Children fiction contest and her work has been published in Highlights for Children and Purpose magazines. Vila has published Growing Toward the Sun, a children’s book. She is currently working on the second book in the Celeste series, Full Moon, Cracked Heart. Vila recently sent her latest book to a book store but they wouldn’t stock it. They wanted stories about the Amish community, not the Mennonite. “I want my kids to read books about Mennonite kids; to read about themselves,” said Vila. “My writing is a family history. I don’t want our life, our travels, to be forgotten.” Esther Clawson of Gallatin is
working on a book called There and Back; it is fantasy/science fiction. She has a series going. “I’m a perfectionist,” she says. “I haven’t sent out anything yet.”
R ick Ripple’s writing is a little different. Rick says Jesus’ covenant is his life and his mission. His blog has an international readership. Using the Google translator, he has 5,000 confirmed contacts, the limit allowed. He talks daily with people in Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, Brazil. “I had a conversation with Mark Zuckerburg, the founder of Facebook, at 4 a.m. in the morning,” Rick says. “I made him prove who he was. He showed me his driver’s license. I told him ‘Hi, from the Gallatin Writer’s Guild.’” Elanor Best of Pattonsburg
is not always able to attend the meetings of the guild as they co-

His name was John McMahill and he was the first of the McMahills to arrive in America. The name of her book is Abducted. Abducted is Elanor’s first attempt at writing. She has been working on the book for about a year. “I was just doing it for my family, then my friend Betty Plymell got her book published, and I thought, well, that might be kind of fun,” says Elanor. “I depend on the guild for a lot of information.”
The guild has been meeting for about 18 months at the Daviess County Library, which they say is extremely supportive and accommodating. There are 15 to 20 members all together. Seven make up the core, the rest are “phantom” members. Writing is about dedication and resilience. The writers in the Gallatin Writer’s Guild support one another in the creative process, troubleshoot and network. They enjoy writing for its own sake. These are a community of independent writers who have learned to self-publish. Self-publishing has its own rewards over traditional publishing. It offers a wide array of options and opportunities, including author control and retention of rights. All of the books mentioned in this article are available on Amazon. The members of the Gallatin
Guild may not write the next best seller or become a household name through self-publishing… on the other hand, you never know. “An author I know of has sold millions of copies of her book through an online market,” Jamie Beel tells the group. “You
can become famous.” The Gallatin Writers Guild invites you to visit. If you’re interested in writing, they’d like to have you for a member. They meet every other week on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. at the Daviess County Library.

Public Notices
What happens when the jury ‘retires’? b y C i r cui t J ud g e B r ent E l l i o t t E d i t o r ’ s no t e: Circuit Judg e R. Brent E lliott writes a series of articles intended to provide the public with a better understanding of the j udicial system and chang es in the law. The last few articles outlined the j ury selection process for a criminal case and the trial procedure once the j ury is selected. I n his example, both the state and defendant had rested their cases and made closing arg uments. The j udg e had read its instructions to the j ury and ordered them to retire to the j ury room to deliberate.
The jury instructions are always given to the jury to assist them in deliberations. As instructed, the first thing the jury will do is select one of their number to serve as foreperson. The jury is charged with reading the instructions and following the law as set forth in those instructions. In a criminal case, all 12 jurors must agree on the verdict.
If the defendant is found not guilty, the jury is discharged from any further obligation. If the defendant is found guilty, the jury may have additional duties based upon the nature of the case. The judge will conduct a hearing outside the hearing of the jury to determine if the defendant has been found guilty of certain prior criminal offenses. (See Section 558.021 of the Revised Statutes of the State of Missouri.) A defendant who does not have certain statutory prior convictions is usually sentenced by the jury in a “bifurcated” trial. In these cases, following a finding of guilt, the jury is returned to the courtroom where both the state and defendant may present evidence related to sentencing. The judge provides additional instructions and orders the jury to return to the jury room to determine an appropri-
ate sentence. If the necessary prior convictions are proven at the abovereferenced hearing, the judge, not the jury, will impose the appropriate sentence. In these cases, the jury is discharged following a finding of guilt and the judge will conduct a sentencing hearing. At that hearing, both the state and defendant may present evidence related to sentencing. As the articles over the course of the last few months have evidenced, there are many nuances to our system of trial by jury. Judges bear the sole responsibility of seeing that a trial is conducted properly and in accordance with our laws. Good trial judges ensure all parties receive a fair and impartial trial. Failure to do so can result in expensive, time-consuming, reversals or retrials. Although no system is without fault, I firmly believe our United States judicial system is the best in the world.

Different tournament. Same results. Trenton’s girls and Winston’s boys came into the 2017 Gallatin Invitational with back-to-back titles under their belts. On Saturday, they each made it three in a row with impressive victories over the same teams they defeated a year ago. Trenton’s girls won its third straight crown with a third straight victory over Gallatin, this time by a 54-34 margin. Winston’s boys took down Trenton for the third straight time in GIT championship games, by a 56-44 score in Saturday’s late afternoon game. Gallatin’s boys rebounded from a tough 3-point loss to Trenton on Thursday by defeating Braymer, 75-44, for third place on Saturday. Hardin-Central edged Braymer, 53-50, to win the girls’ third place game on Friday night. In consolation matches, Polo’s girls defeated Winston, 36-34, despite 26 combined points from Winston’s Sky Uthe (15) and Sophie Pliley (11). Polo’s boys took down Maysville, 62-39, in the consolation bracket. W i nst o n b o y s 56 , T r ent o n 4 4 Trenton had no answer for the Redbird duo of Jacob Lewis and Cy Uthe, who combined for 48 points and 14-of-20 free throws in the championship. Backed by a 6-point effort by Carson Radcliff, Trenton held a 14-11 lead after the first period but it was nine points from Lewis and 7 from Uthe that gave the Redbirds a lead in the second
that they would not relinquish. Radcliff, who helped Trenton get past Gallatin on Thursday with an 18-point effort, was shut down the rest of the game by Winston’s swarming defense. THS senior Lathan Croy was held to only a first quarter field goal and four quarter free throw. Already leading by double figures in the fourth quarter, the Redbirds put the game out of reach with 13-of-21 free throw shooting down the stretch. Lewis finished with 28 points to complement a GIT record 40-point effort on Thursday against Braymer. Lewis finished with a record 91 points in three GIT contests. Uthe, after missing Monday’s game, recorded 20 points on Saturday to go with a 16 point game against Braymer. T r ent o n g i r l s 54 , G a l l a t i n 3 4 Trenton jumped out to a 4-0 but back-to-back treys by Megan Cox and Karley Salmon would give Gallatin its only lead of the game. Trenton went up by 12 late in the second quarter but a twopoint bucket by Hayley Michael from a Courtney Shubert assist lifted Gallatin back to within 23-17 by the middle of the third quarter. Gallatin labored through a 4-minute stretch without a basket late in the third quarter until Kelsey Maxwell converted 3-of-4 free throws. Trenton closed the game with a 22-13 scoring lead. Maxwell, who played through early foul trouble, finished with 15 points to lead Gallatin, all coming in the

Auditor finds inconsistencies in school spending records, superintendent pay Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway recently released an audit of the financial data reported by K-12 schools to the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The audit includes a review of the data and recommendations to ensure it can be used effectively by schools as they work to improve educational opportunities in their communities. Missouri’s K-12 schools report financial information each year to DESE. The audit specifically reviewed administration costs, which include the expenses of the principals’ and superintendents’ offices, administrative support staff and school board. When schools report the data, they classify the exact use of funds as a specific category such as fiscal services, executive administration and building level administration. A review of this data found inconsistencies in the way spending is recorded across school districts. On multiple occasions, school districts categorized similar costs to different categories. The report recommends that DESE provide additional information to school districts to ensure financial information
USDA 2018 contract signed, WIC serves 164 women, infants & children The Daviess County Health Department announces that the 2018 USDA supplemental food program For Women, Infants and Children (WIC) contract has been signed with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Under the terms of the contract, the Daviess County Health Department will serve a caseload of 164 persons eligible for WIC services. The contract amount awarded for administration cost is $27,566 and special funding of $6,092 for a breastfeeding peer counselor. WIC is a special supplemental nutrition program providing services to pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to their fifth birthday based on nutritional risk and income eligibility. The primary services provided are health screening, risk assessment, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding promotion and referrals to health care. Nutritious supplemental food is provided at no cost to participants. To be eligible for WIC, applicants must have an income of less than or equal to 185% of the poverty level (see income guidelines below) and be determined by a health professional to be at nutritional risk. Migrant families are also eligible. A pregnant mom counts as a family of two. Income is your gross amount, which is the amount before anything is taken out of your pay check. Income is ANY money coming into the household. Some examples are child support, SSI, and unemployment, and current pay stubs, from any member of the household. When applying for WIC you must also have the child’s ID as well as the parent or legal guardian’s identification and proof of residency. Proof of income and residency must be in the last 30

days and you must have these items with you at certification. If you receive Mo HealthNet please bring your cards along with you. Please come prepared for your appointment. WIC’s supplemental food packages are specially chosen to provide foods high in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. Eligible women and children receive fortified milk and cheese, yogurt, eggs, whole grain bread products and hot or cold cereals, 100% fruit juices and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. The WIC program highly recommends breastfeeding, providing breast-feeding support, baby foods and infant cereal. For women who cannot or choose not to breastfeed, infants may receive supplemental iron fortified formula. WIC participants obtain their foods by redeeming food checks for specific items at local grocery stores and pharmacies. Studies confirm that pregnant women who enroll in WIC during the early months of pregnancy have fewer low birth weight babies, experience fewer infant deaths, see the doctor earlier in pregnancy and eat healthier. They also have more success with breastfeeding with the support of the breastfeeding peer counselor. WIC is administered in Daviess County by the Daviess County Health Department. Persons interested in applying or who are in need of more information NEW should LISTING contact the Health Department located at 609 A. South Main, Gallatin, Mo., 64640. The phone number is 660.663.2414. The WIC clinics are on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please call for an appointment. You may also visit the Missouri WIC website. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

is properly and consistently recorded. Disparities were also identified in superintendent salaries at school districts of similar size and location. The report found this type of comparative analysis is not readily available to school districts and recommended that DESE provide reports that would be beneficial to schools as they make budget and salary decisions. Data also revealed that over a 12-year period, superintendent salaries have increased by 31 percent while teacher salaries increased by only 22 percent. The report also found information provided to DESE about administrator compensation may not be complete or accurate and recommends improving the process to report that data. The report also included information on school expenditures compared to annual performance and recommended additional evaluation of how spending decisions impact school performance.

Osburn indicated he grabbed the steering wheel and began driving from the passenger’s seat. Osburn stated the vehicle began to accelerate rapidly as he was swerving in and out of traffic. Osburn advised he steered the vehicle until the crash with the Hyundai, all the while Shawn Yuille remained unresponsive. On Nov. 29, search warrants were executed on the 2004 Ford F-150. Image data was obtained from the F-150’s Power Control Module, commonly referred to as the “black box.” The imaged data obtained revealed the Ford F-150 was traveling at 88 miles per hour, with 100% throttle and 0% braking input at the time of the collision with the Hyundai, driven by Danette Rardon. It was also confirmed by evidence located inside the Ford F-150 that two cans of “Dust Off ” compressed gas duster was located inside the vehicle inside a white Wal-Mart sack. The cans were sold in a two-pack and the plastic packaging securing the two cans had been opened. Yuille was also charged with the Class B Felony of endangering the welfare of a child.

Three administrators at the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail District will see an annual increase of $2,000 to their salaries following a closed session vote of the board on Nov. 30: Director Edmon Howard, Deputy Director Timothy Carder, and Administrative Assistant Lori Burke. Mr. Carder’s salary will be reviewed again on his anniversary date of July 1, 2018. Mr. Howard submitted a budget proposal for 2018 to the board for review. The proposal includes a $1/hr raise for the employees, as well as increasing the jail’s portion of the health insurance to 90% and coverage for spouses. The board tabled the discussion of the proposed budget to allow the board time to go over the proposal. The jail’s Budget Hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Dec. 14. The jail has raised over $5,200 for the Shop with a Cop Program. The event is scheduled for Dec. 9, and it is hoped that at least 20 children from Daviess County and 20 from DeKalb County will participate. Sheriff Becerra is receiving complaints from the community about detainees being released into the community. Mr. Howard and Mr. Carder will be looking for a solution.

The attorney rooms have been moved out of the administrative area to a secure part of the facility. Mr. Howard presented the third quarter financial report.

Gentry County commissioners, the sheriff and a county judge toured the facility in November. The jail is writing a proposed contract with that agency and will be presenting it to them in December. The annex building is going to be used for training, emergency shelter, and archive storage. The area that will be utilized for training needs repairs done to the floor. Mr. Carder provided samples of an epoxy floor covering to the board for review and advised it would cost approximately $4,500. The board approved the bid process and purchase of new flooring. Mr. Carder gave the financial report, which was accepted by the board. Sales tax revenue for September 2017 was $85,698.20; Sales tax revenue for October 2017 was $62,163.97; Commissary grossed $11,625.20 in October 2017; Commissary grossed $9,671.33 in November 2017; CD Account 247 balance is $241,719.18; and CD account 977 balance is $100,838.05; Sales Tax Account balance is $601,046.63; Operating Account balance is $141,282.34; Accounts Receivable - $455,823.05; Accounts Payable - $70,880.82; Payroll Account balance is $1497.17.

Missouri to face Texas in the Texas Bowl B y B enj a m i n H er r o l d On Sunday, Missouri learned its bowl destination and opponent, which is a familiar one. The Tigers will play Texas in the Texas Bowl, down in Houston, on Dec. 27 (8 p.m. on ESPN). Bowl matchups vary wildly in excitement level, but this one could be fun. First, the backstory. Texas’ perceived domineering attitude and Longhorn Network were major friction points in the exodus of teams from the Big 12 Conference, including, of course, Missouri and noted Longhorn-hatred enthusiast Texas A&M moving to the Southeastern Conference. Missouri’s last game against Texas, a 17-5 win in 2011, came days after the Tigers announced their pending move to the SEC. Texas comes by its reputation of arrogance honestly. Take the 2013 comments of Texas’ thenathletic director DeLoss Dodds, who took the occasion of talking about a promised return to ex-
cellence for Texas to bash Missouri. “Our bad years are not that bad,” he said. “Take a school like Missouri. Our bad years are better than their good years.” Of course, that’s not true, even if Texas is a more accomplished program historically than Mizzou. Missouri fans have referenced that quote plenty of times in recent years, such as when the Tigers won 12 and 11 games in the two seasons immediately following it, or when Texas bumbled away a game against lowly Kansas last year, becoming the “1” in the Jayhawks’ 1-26 Big 12 record over the last three seasons. So there is plenty of conversational fodder to fill the weeks leading up to the actual game, played at NRG Stadium. But these two teams have enough intrigue based on this season alone. Missouri recovered from a 1-5 start to win six straight and finish the regular season 7-5.

Pattonsburg elementary teachers selected the following students from their respective classrooms for displaying “ Citizenship,” the November character trait word. Pictured are front: Charlee Morris from Ms. a er s inder arten class an ason rom rs hoc s first rade class; Patrick Hartman from Mrs. McCrary’ s second g rade class; back: Annabelle G ardner from Mrs. Price’ s fourth g rade class; G unnar Mcrar rom rs lar s fi th rade class and ammie eterson rom Mrs. Reed’ s third g rade class.
Texas suffered an embarrassing home loss to Maryland to start the season, the first game under new coach Tom Herman. But the Longhorns showed fight against big-time opponents like USC and Oklahoma, and managed to finish 6-6 and earn a bowl berth. One of the key questions for the Texas Bowl is whether Missouri’s offense can keep rolling like it did in the second half of the season. Playing in the Big 12, Texas is familiar with the high-powered, up-tempo style of offense Missouri runs. The Longhorns had good showings against Oklahoma State and West Virginia, holding both to 14 points or fewer. Their defense presents a challenge for the Tigers. On the other side of the ball, Texas rotated quarterbacks but still finished 36th in the nation in passing yards per game. Missouri’s defense gave up 425.3 yards per game, 86th in the country, and 31.8 points per game, so being opportunistic and forcing turnovers might be the key for the Tiger defense. Defensive lineman Terry Beckner Jr. has emerged as a playmaker during the winning streak, and he gave Missouri fans an early Christmas present when he announced he’d be back next season. This game could provide a late Christmas present, with a nice mixture of history and compelling teams that might be on the upswing.
Pattonsburg board takes up remaining issues with building Superintendent Scott Ireland gave a report to the Pattonsburg Board of Education regarding the newly constructed school building during their meeting held Nov. 16. The building is still having issues when it rains, as the windows are still leaking. Superintendent Ireland also informed the board of the upcoming April election. The filing dates for board members will be Dec. 12, 2017, through Jan. 16, 2018. Parents were welcomed at the Missouri Assessment Program/ end-of-course awards night. The awards were presented to the students by Aubree Raines, school counselor. Present at the Nov. 16 meeting were board members Stephanie Mason, Nathan Woodward, Laura Booth, Pam Plymell, Jason Teel, Lyle Hoover. Greg Coin was absent. ****** Children have much more need of models than critics.
