On Aug. 27, a search warrant for cultivated marijuana was served on a property located in the area of 285th Street and Unity Avenue in Daviess County with multiple agencies involved, according to a press release issued by the Daviess County Sheriff. As the tactical entry team entered the property, three subjects fled from the scene. With the perimeter secured and air support, the search continued until dark to no avail. Prior to the execution of the search warrant an individual of interest was taken into custody in Independence by ATF agents and Nitro agents. It is believed that the subjects who fled are not armed. If you see anything suspicious, please call 911. Appreciation is extended to the following agencies: ATF, NITRO, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Grundy County Sheriff ’s Office and the Buchanan County Drug Task Force.

Tax levy rates were set for property taxes for 2018 for general .6322; parks and recreation .2249; and band funds .0200 after the tax rate hearing on Aug. 27. During the regular meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen, Police Chief Mark Richards stated that two homes on the nuisance list have been taken down by the owner. Both homes were on George Allen Street. There have been nine homes that have been removed this year and all have been paid for by the owners: 1. 211 George Allen; 2. 809 W. Mill; 3. 205 S. Willow; 4. 302 N. Daviess; 5. 301 George Allen; 6. 505 S. Daviess; 7. 310 N Clay; 8. 205 S. Willow; 9. 204 S. Water. LED lights have been installed in the police department office. Chief Richards is preparing for the Chautauqua and Homecoming parades in September. Police Chief Richards submitted a report on activity for Aug. 27: one assault; one theft,

automobile; one citizen dispute; one peace disturbance; two vandalisms; one theft; two child custody disputes; one domestic disturbance; one property damage; one fraud; one traffic accident with damage; one animal problem. There is one dog at the pound. Pool Manager Laurie WaltonRoll provided the Gallatin Board of Aldermen with the following report. The pool was open 79 days and closed six days. The average daily attendance was 37; 45 Wall of Champs tickets were used; 62 swim lessons were given ($10 each); 39 season were passes sold. There were nine pool party rentals. The 2019 pool request was for a new diving board and drinking fountain. The board approved the purchase of a flow meter from Instruments Direct Inc. in the amount of $2,475. Flow meters inform the water plant operators how much water is flowing into

the clarifiers in an effort to help regulate the appropriate chemical feed. The other quote was from Axiom Instrumentation Services at $2,645. The board was provided with quotes from Public Works Director Mark Morey on which no decisions were made during the meeting: Crack seal machine for a 10 gallon patching machine with heating element: 1. Pavement LLC – Hot Box 10E $1,695; 2. Asphalt Kingdom – RY10 Pro $1,695; 3. Seal Master – MA10 Melter Applicator $1,225. An additional bid was provided for a crack pro turbo that is used to clean and dry cracks for $2,995. Dump bed truck: 1. Magnum Machine Works, LLC - 11 ft dump bed /installed $12,500; 2. Kranz of KC -11 ft dump bed/ installed $17,104; 3. American Equipment Co. - 11 ft dump bed/ installed $12,330 and 11 ft dump bed not installed $9,435. (continued on page 12)

Emergency drought funds to Caldwell PWSD#2, City of Cameron for drinking water; temporary hookup from Daviess PWSD #2 serves 875 patrons. The Caldwell County project will construct a temporary emergency connection with Daviess PWSD#2. This temporary connection is anticipated to provide more than 30,000 gallons per day until a permanent connection can be constructed. This temporary connection will ease the demand experienced by the City of Hamilton city reservoir, which is currently the only water provider to Caldwell PWSD#2. Hamilton’s reservoir level is down six feet, and city officials are concerned about maintaining water services. As of Aug. 20, the City of Cam-

Little Otter Creek Reservoir could begin construction of new 344-acre lake in 2019 The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced Aug. 23 that it is providing another $5.6 million for construction of the Little Otter Creek Reservoir. The 344-acre lake in Caldwell County will provide a dependable water supply for about 10,000 people, as well as flood control and recreation. NRCS State Conservationist J.R. Flores said the funding completes the federal commitment of $16 million for the project. State and local entities will provide the remainder of the funds for the estimated $24 million project. The Little Otter Creek Watershed project began in 1990 when Caldwell County officials met with NRCS to discuss the possibility of building a rural water supply system that would offer protection from severe droughts. Thirty years later, the project

sponsors’ wishes could become reality; the project is on schedule for construction to begin in spring 2019 and the reservoir could be filled in 2020. “Projects like this take a long time to plan and carry out,” Flores said. “It is so gratifying to get to this stage where the paperwork and engineering and land acquisition is nearing completion and actual construction is within sight. The extreme drought affecting northwestern Missouri is a good, yet unfortunate reminder that this lake is badly needed.” At a point about two miles southeast of Hamilton, a 72-foottall earthen dam across Little Otter Creek will create the 344acre lake. NRCS is assisting the Caldwell County Commission and the Caldwell County Soil and Water Conservation District.

eron reservoirs were only 38.4% full with only 167 days of water supply remaining. The city serves a population of 9,933 and also sells water to Clinton County Public Water Supply District No. 3, which serves a population of 3,410. The funding will assist in allowing the City of Cameron in

constructing approximately three miles of temporary, aboveground emergency piping to pump water from Pony Express Lake with special permission from the Missouri Department of Conservation. This temporary connection is anticipated to provide more than one million gallons of water per day, which will

be pumped to Grindstone Reservoir, the city’s largest drinking water source. “Our water levels have reached critical levels. These state grants will be helpful in assisting the transfer of water from Pony Express Lake,” said Cameron Councilman Dennis Clark.

Gov. Mike Parson demonstrated his commitment to finding solutions to ease the impact of the drought by announcing that more than $77,000 in state funding will be awarded to assist the drought-stricken City of Cameron and Caldwell County Public Water Supply Number 2. The Department of Natural Resources will be awarding emergency drought assistance grants for $50,000 to Cameron and $27,380 to Caldwell PWSD#2. The emergency funding will assist Cameron and the water district to maintain adequate drinking water for local citizens. Caldwell County PWSD#2

“This project couldn’t happen without the support of the citizens of Caldwell County or without the technical and financial assistance from NRCS,” Caldwell County Presiding Commissioner Bud Motsinger said. “It is rewarding to see progress toward construction of the dam.

The Little Otter Creek Reservoir project will provide the citizens of Caldwell County a reliable water supply that has been lacking for decades.” NRCS’ announcement comes a week after Flores announced another $20 million for construction of the East Locust Creek

The Good Ol’ Days by Freida Marie Crump

Maybe we need tails I don’t know exactly when the first flicker of worry occurred, but eventually it couldn’t be ignored. Something was wrong. He had no energy. He was losing weight. There were times where he could hardly keep anything down, even just water. The vet confirmed something was wrong. After ruling out this or that, a diagnosis of cancer remained. The prognosis proved to be a death knell because within a few days my oldest son had to put the family’s pet Labrador retriever down. So, yes, this has been a hard week. They called him Truman (after the Mizzou mascot), a name which came naturally to a pair of MU graduates who married and began organizing their new household. Things change quickly those first few years, from rentals to homeowner to baby cribs and job changes along the way. But Truman was a steady constant. That’s what dogs do for their owners, reminding humans that love can be as simple as wagging a tail or licking your hand. A childhood pet my wife still treasures licked so much that Liz and her sister named the dog “Licker.” The rather large white dog now ruling the pen we call a yard is not satisfied licking just your hand ...or leg or face or even your shirt or pant leg, but also licks the back glass door of the kitchen incessantly as we arrive home from work most nights. It’s her way of commanding our attention. Dogs can be trained to do lots of things. Untraining annoying habits is something else. And yet, what dogs do naturally is simply love. Some love to run. Some love to bark. Some love to protect. Some love to dig. Some love to chew. Some love to roll over. Some love to please. Some love to be left alone. Most love to be your companion. Dogs are interesting. Maybe that’s because they can’t talk. Dogs don’t hide their feelings.

If you watch whenever a dog confronts another dog, especially for the first time, it’s not hard to see whether the acquaintance will evolve into companions or combatants. All you have to do is watch their tails. Dogs have habits, and not all of them good. Dogs can get the wrong ideas. Truman was a big Lab who thought he was a house dog, with all that this implies.

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Dogs are like kids. Just as you’re telling someone how good they are (especially while comparing yours to the neighbors’) you look up and see your dog barking and charging at the lady on the sidewalk as she drops her bag of groceries in apparent fear. Or maybe it was that time when the dog leash, wrapped tight and nearly choking the life out of the smaller canine your dog kept circling, that made you admit that your dog was a bully. Dogs aren’t perfect. Just ask any mailman or meter reader. Some dogs will chase cattle and do things you simply cannot allow. Without civilizing restraint, dogs can be as vicious as the packs running in the wild. Some even need to be chained but, sadly, that says as much or more about failures put upon them as much as failures they caused. Some dogs are as smart as humans are dumb. And yet, some dogs are so dumb they get scared even when you’re tossing a juicy hamburger toward them to eat. Like people, dogs will do the unexpected. But on a good day with the right dog in the proper setting, there’s something pure and wholesome and special that only a dog can give. Good dogs live Offering

for such opportunities. A dog can change a guy’s bad mood with just the wag of a tail. It’s a superb, God-given gift. Truman was all this and, of course, more. We inquired about how the grandkids were taking the hard lesson about death upon Truman’s passing. Little guys can’t possibly grasp such finality, not at their age and certainly not in this throw-away-and-get-another culture pressed upon us. I suspect the death was much harder on the grownups, despite their show of a stiff upper lip. In death a dog helps us begin to understand the depths of grief and how grieving must be acknowledged and confronted in so many different ways. Truman’s last days were not his best. His muzzle had changed in color to dull gray and dirty white and his coat no longer shone. The sparkle had left his eyes. His body was but a shell of the power and vigor it once possessed. He lost interest in doing some things he previously found exciting. People around him coaxed him along or made excuses, overlooking or even denying the inevitable changes that time measures. I don’t like to think about Truman in dog years. That gets a little too personal. These past few weeks I observed no matter what you’re willing to spend on doctor bills, time cannot be denied. Last week was just Truman’s time. But the memories live on. There are many reasons why dogs are called man’s best friend. The good things I’ll remember about Truman are the same qualities I saw in Pokey, Laddie, Benny, Blondie, and ...well, I guess I’m being a little selfish here because if you like dogs then you, too, have so many names to add to such a list. I like dogs. I try to think the same way about humans as I do about dogs, focusing on the best of what’s inside regardless of what’s acted out. It’s much harder to like humans though ...us having no tails.

Greetings from Poosey. I once heard it called the PGA, the Personal Golden Age. It’s the age in our life which we look back upon as being idyllic, perfect, the way things were and the way they should be again. You may have your personal favorite, but I think I’ve pegged mine somewhere in the Eisenhower administration. If you stayed up late enough you could watch Steve Allen behind the Tonight Show desk, hear the new recordings of a kid named Elvis, climb aboard something that Boeing was calling the 707, warm up a new invention by Swanson called the TV Dinner, and if you were lucky you could go down the street and watch the first color television at the home of a neighbor wealthy enough to shell out a thousand bucks for the set. You could fill up your car for twenty cents a gallon, go to a movie for under a buck and could buy a dandy new car for under $2,000. Lots of memories from those heady days when the most common type of nightly entertainment was packing up the family and “going visiting.” Since I’m human I can’t help but look back upon those times with a nostalgic sigh and wonder why we can’t return life to the way it once was, even if our memories are often a bit skewed through the rose-colored glasses of wishing. “Father Knows Best,” was more than a popular TV show, it was what we imagined life to be. “Rock Around the Clock,” was as radical as music was ever going to get and with the discovery of the Polio vaccine we could just about live forever in good health slathered with happiness. It’s easy to look back upon the days of our youth with longing while wondering what has happened to the world and how such a good thing as the American Way of Life has become so convoluted. In fact, we may so long for our Personal Golden Age that we think that we can somehow return to those days while conveniently forgetting a few things. My personal “golden” decade of the 1950s held a few distinctions of its own, like. . . . . . hiding under our desks during school drills as the first ICBM was developed and a good number of nuclear warheads were headed toward our third-grade classroom, Sen. Joseph McCarthy spreading the Red Scare throughout the nation and ruining many lives in the process, the beginning of the Korean War, girdles on women, segregated schools, the beating of gays making little news. Bigotry was a way of life for a large chunk of our population, and both blacks and whites jumping into the first integrated public swimming pools were subject to the humiliation of racist idiots dumping buckets of chlorine in the water while they were swimming. Our memories sometimes push the delete buttons on the less-gilded edges of our golden years. As Franklin Pierce Adams said, “Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.” Dwight Eisenhower was a five-star general, supreme commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II, twice elected president in landslides, and still popular when he left office. In fact, he hit a hole in one on the golf course just a year before he died. There was a joke running its course at the time about the Eisenhower doll. You wound it up and it did nothing for eight years. Yet he presided over the most prosperous decade in American history. It makes one wonder if doing little might be the secret. Ike knew exactly how to use the English language, he was hardworking, delegated authority to those he trusted, and guided our nation toward prosperity even though in six of his eight years the opposing party controlled both houses of Congress. Yes, Ike had his faults. He was much too silent as McCarthy ran wild, he guessed wrong about the Soviet influence on Castro, and even though he warned of the “military-industrial complex,” he let the defense budget triple, but Ike was sane. Ike was reasonable and in most cases Ike reflected the best of what America stood for. There are many among us who think that they can somehow vote themselves back to a simpler, more familiar time. Sorry Charlie, but that bird won’t fly. Times change and they tend to stay changed, and the world has always been a mix of cultures and values whether we’ve realized it or not. As Columbus told his crew when they were hit by a storm in mid-Atlantic, “There ain’t no goin’ back, boys.” Okay, he may not have said that, but his little excursion turned out well when he learned to go with the waves instead of rowing against them. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

“I want to thank Gov. Parson, the Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Conservation for stepping in and helping us at such a crucial time.” Cameron’s total project cost is $484,526. The city will finance the remainder of the project with available city funds. The project, currently under construction, is expected to be complete and operational by Sept. 1. “Any shortage of drinking water is a serious issue. In response, these grants will be a step in the right direction as we work to develop short and long term solutions for clean and dependable water sources,” said Gov. Parson. “We are committed to ensuring all state, local, and federal agencies work together to ease the drought’s burden. We will continue to be proactive in addressing local infrastructure needs to deliver much needed water to communities in need.” In response to Gov. Parson’s Executive Order, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources made emergency funding available to assist in construction projects intended to ensure that drought-impacted small communities are able to maintain an adequate supply of drinking water for their citizens.

“I applaud the Governor for his leadership on this issue,” said State Sen. Dan Hegeman. “The drought has been severe in Northwest Missouri and our community is hurting right now. These water infrastructure grants will have a positive and lasting impact on these communities.” Gov. Parson and the Department of Natural Resources continue to work closely with funding partners, such as the Missouri Department of Economic Development, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development, to assist Missouri public water systems with critical drought impacts in drought alert areas.

Each year, the fair sets aside a day to recognize farm families from across the state that are active in their communities, involved in agriculture, and/or participate in local outreach and extension programs such as 4-H or FFA. This year, all 114 Missouri counties plus the City of St. Louis participated, honoring nearly 490 people from 115 farm families. The event showcases the impact Missouri Farm Families have on the economy and heritage of the state, said Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe. “These families are involved in agriculture activities in their communities and are active participants in local outreach and extension. As the premier showcase for Missouri agriculture, the Missouri State Fair is most certainly the appropriate place to celebrate these families.”

We need permanent solutions for water...

Dear Readers, On Aug. 24, 2018, Gov. Parson announced the award of a $27,380 grant to Public Water Supply District No. 2 of Caldwell County. This special grant fund was established to secure emergency sources and connections for water districts and cities experiencing drought-related supply crises. This grant will enable us to establish a secondary connection to Public Water Supply District No. 2 of Daviess County for water produced by the City of Gallatin. The connection will also alleviate our demand on the City of Hamilton’s reservoir that is currently more than 6 feet below the spillway. First I would like to thank Gov. Parson, Rep. Neely, Rep. Eggleston, Sen. Hoskins, Sen. Hegeman, and their staff members for their personal attention and expedited response to the water supply crisis in our area. Without their support and quick actions our communities could not have established these emergency connections before loss of service to our customers. By their directive, the Missouri Department of Natural

Resources has dedicated special finances and personnel to assist our districts and cities in obtaining secondary sources of water that will ensure a dependable and uninterrupted water supply to our systems. The DNR staff has provided excellent and immediate assistance with the emergency drought program applications. The abbreviated process will allow construction and operation of the Caldwell 2/Daviess 2 interconnection within 7 to 12 days. Our neighboring districts and cities have united to ensure that any available surplus is being shared to depleted systems. Local boards and councils have quickly and graciously amended contracts and approved interconnections to their under-sourced neighbors. The operators, clerks, legal counsel, and engineering consultants of these systems have worked tirelessly to ensure that every resource and possibility has been evaluated. As a water operator, I feel an immense responsibility and burden to ensure that the public ...the public that includes my friends and family ...have a reliable, safe, and adequate supply of drinking water. As a livestock

producer, I am obligated to provide complete and adequate care for my animals. In a drought situation there is no delivery truck, no Amazon order, no trip to the store that is going to bring sufficient water to my people, to my cattle ...to every family, business, farm, and industry in my community. I appreciate every person and every department that has assisted us in obtaining this emergency connection. I’m going to ask you to do two more things. I’m going to ask that you help these other communities asking for assistance because they are us ...just people needing the very basis of life and livelihood, with very little time, and very few resources. And I’m going to ask you to look ahead, make a plan, get prepared ...because there will be more droughts, and more people, and more demand, and we must develop and build permanent solutions for the water supply of Northwest Missouri. Again, my utmost gratitude to everyone that made our connection possible. Sincerely, Cathy Youtsey, Superintendent Caldwell County PWSD #2

Becoming a Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace, mini-grants available By Kristie Smith, RN, MSN Community Health Nurse

Going back to work is very hard on a new mom. Then adding in the stress of trying to continue to breastfeed, which includes pumping, keeping supply up and storing milk — it can all be a bit overwhelming. A big concern for working moms is having the time and place to be able to pump at work. Having a breastfeeding room ensures that the new mom has a private place to pump and is comfortable. And providing flexible breaks so breastfeeding moms can pump several times during the day helps ensure that they have enough milk to feed their baby when they’re apart. Support plays a huge role in the success of breastfeeding, so support at work is so important. You can greatly help your new mom employees by becoming a Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace. You can go to this website (https://health.mo.gov/living/ families/wic/breastfeeding/support.php ) to learn more about becoming a Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite and the benefits to both employee and employer. There are also a few minigrants available each year through the Missouri Department of Health to help get a

Daviess in Troop H DWI saturation Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, announces that during the Labor Day holiday weekend, Troop H will conduct DWI saturations in the following counties: Andrew, Buchanan, Daviess, DeKalb, Grundy, Harrison, Livingston, and Nodaway. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinkingrelated crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators. “The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “Anytime your plans include alcohol, please have a designated sober driver.” The only 100% survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.

Pattonsburg considers expansion of park for school district Editor’s Note: The following information is taken from the approved minutes for the June 25 and July 16 meetings of the Pattonsburg Board of Aldermen. Lyle Hoover visited in June with the City of Pattonsburg on behalf of the Pattonsburg School District. He inquired about putting another ball field on a north portion of the park. The school wants to be able to host tournaments. The council said they would discuss it with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources-State Parks. In July, the city received paperwork back from State Parks and motioned to forward it to the city’s lawyer, Robert Cowherd, so he could prepare the necessary documents. In June, Pattonsburg received from Farmers Electric Cooperative Inc. an urban street lighting agreement. The council wanted the city attorney to look it over. Farmers Electric Cooperative representative Mr. Kinnison was present at the July meeting to discuss the lighting agreement. At the June meeting, the board agreed to contact Verizon to see what the cost would be to get two business cell phones for Adam Albert and Karen Shepherd to put on the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system, which operates the water plant. In July, the board decided to get the phones for a total cost of

$102 a month which will be paid for by the water department. Other topics at the June meeting: • The board discussed a railroad management company attempting to charge the city for the rights to the railway that has been abandoned. The city contacted its attorney, who is taking care of the matter. • Well maintenance reports were reviewed again. • The city will contact the county commissioners to see if there is anyone who could advise the city on how to repair its streets. • Monthly reports were reviewed. • Bills were paid on June 18. Citizen with complaints: At the July 16 meeting, Jim Bussard was present with multiple complaints and concerns, including: 1. Mr. Bussard stated that a semi-truck owned by Matt Nalle Farms keeps turning onto Chestnut from First Avenue every morning. He wanted to know if semis are allowed on this street. The council stated that they would look into it. 2. Mr. Bussard wanted to know who is going to pick up the trash along First Avenue. The council stated community service workers would be able to do that. 3. The lot north of Bussard has tall grass and weeds. The council stated that the owner has been notified. 4. Cameron newspapers are being thrown out and then getting run over by a lawn mower. The city really doesn’t have anything to do with that. 5. Mr. Bussard wanted to know how the city can spend money on building a display building for the old fire truck and a landing zone pad. The council stated that they were the city fire department’s projects. 6. Mr. Bussard wanted to know if the city just lets anybody use the back hoe. The council stated they do not, but they do rent the backhoe to those that have an operator or an operator will be provided. Bussard also wanted to know who pays for repairs if something happens to the backhoe while it is being used. The council stated that renter would be responsible for repairs. 7. Mr. Bussard wanted to know who owned the generator alongside the building because somebody had picked it up, then brought it back, and threw it out alongside the building about two weeks ago. Adam Albert said the generator belonged to the fire department and it does not work and has been there for several months. 8. Mr. Bussard asked where the money comes from for streets. The council stated that the funds come from motor fuel tax, motor vehicle sales tax, and motor vehicle fee increases. Other topics at the July meeting: • Mike Foster asked the council’s permission to start an inhome business. He needs council approval before he can move forward with licensing. • Lucille Lusk with Small Town Cooperation Board presented a bill to the council for approval.

MU Thompson Farm field day adds forest value to beef genetics studies New research results will be told at a Sept. 17 field day at the University of Missouri Thompson Farm, Spickard. Woodland improvements on a beef farm will be the newest show-and-tell at the annual event, says Jon Schreffler, MU farm manager. Wooded acres now provide income from timber harvest. Dusty Walter, MU forester, will share management tips. That will be seen first on wagon tours, which start at 4 p.m. The lead talk will be on the impact of deer on planted trees. Ways to control damage will be told. Most of the 10 topics feature beef reproduction and genetics. Those studies from the farm, starting 22 years ago, led to farmer profits from Show-Me-Select replacement heifers. Management and genetics combine to boost herd incomes. The Thompson field day starts with registration at 3:30 p.m. A beef dinner will be at 6 p.m. Exhibits can be seen then. This year, drought helped decide topics. Eric Bailey, MU Extension nutritionist, joins the program for the first time. He will talk twice. His first talk tells about getting weight gain on calves in drought. Next, he gives tips on feeding cows when hay is scarce. The MU research farm plays a part in MU Extension and in teaching graduate students. They will tell of their research which includes: hair shedding scores to find heat-tolerant cattle; split-time insemination of heifers; the DNA test “GeneMax Advantage.”

A Answer

The Internet Is Unreliable.

A government web site can be hacked and manipulated . . . . and information can be hidden on the World Wide Web. The Internet is not a reliable substitute for public notices placed in independent, third-party newspapers.

Citizens rely on the newspaper for public notices that may affect their lives, their property or their livelihood. The printed newspaper is where citizens expect to find public notices.

Panthers win FB opener over Christian By Heather J ones The Panthers scored on two touchdown passes early and jumped out to a 14-0 lead against the St. Joe Christian Lions on opening night in Pattonsburg. The Lions made it 14-6 but that was as close as they would get as the score was 44-6 at the end of the first quarter. Steven Whilhite threw for five touchdowns and ran for two more. Patrick Crowley and Trevor Ireland caught two touchdown passes each. Cameron Jones caught one TD, and Brett Emit and Kaden deJong each scored one on the ground. The game was ended at halftime with the Panthers winning, 68-12. The Panthers travel to Braymer next week.

Friday night’s high school football victory went to the strongest team in the fourth quarter. Gallatin scored 17 unanswered points, including 10 in the final five minutes, to defeat North Platte, 31-6, in non conference action in Dearborn. The Bulldog defense came up with a big stop midway through the third quarter, stuffing Panther back Caine Huffman short of a first down inside Gallatin’s 20 yard line. Gallatin’s punishing running game took over from there. Strong running by Haden Bradford and Graydee Rains, behind the Bulldog line of Tom Crouse, Adam Perry, Morgan McBroom, Johnathan Carder, Thomas King and Landon Corwin, produced two scores in quick succession. Then a Drayton Harris to Gaven Gray pass covering 21 yards set up Gallatin’s third score. Rains bulled in from nine yards out and Adrian Hernandez kicked the third of four successful extra points to give the Dogs a 15-point lead. GHS coaches called on their defense to step up again in the middle of the final quarter. Facing fourth and goal on the Bulldog seven yard line, Panther quarterback Andrew Hernandez looked for running room but was met at the line by Corwin and JJ Waters. Gallatin took over and seconds later Rains burst up the middle and outran pursuit for a 72 yard touchdown that broke Panther resistance once and for all. An interception by Gray and return to the Panther 10 yard line would lead to a Hernandez 38-yard field goal following a series of penalties. The Bulldogs took a 14-0 lead in the first half on touchdown runs by Bradford and Rains. The Panthers got on the scoreboard

with 6:10 left in the first half on a quarterback keeper on third and goal. The two-point conversion run was stuffed by Gray, Crouse and Gage Wright. Gallatin’s special team play was exceptional. Aidan Adkison picked up 115 yards in punt and kickoff returns. Hernandez averaged 52 yards on six kickoffs and twice put the ball into the end zone. Defensively, Rains registered 11 solo tackles and 10 assists. Crouse chalked up six solos and 11 assists. Gallatin hosts Highway 13 rival Hamilton on Friday. The Hornets knocked off Maysville, 4314, last Friday. Hamilton rolled up 472 yards of offense against the Wolverines, including 168 yards and four touchdowns by sophomore Sawyer Morrow and 132 yards on the ground and one score from senior Derek Aikin. Hornet fans will have to come to Gallatin the long way this year, since Highway 13 is closed four miles south of Gallatin, due to bridge replacement!

Missouri Tigers open by hosting Tennessee-Martin b y Benj amin Herrold Smile, Mizzou fans, college football is back. On Saturday, the Tigers kick off their 93rd season at Faurot Field by hosting the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks (3 p.m. on SEC Network alternate channel). The old stadium will have a different look, with the south end zone stands torn down for the

ongoing project at that end of the stadium. The new south end zone tower with its seats and suites will be in place for the 2019 season, but for 2018 that end of the stadium will be open, like it was pre-1978. This is Missouri’s annual game against a team from the lowerlevel Football Championship Subdivision, where teams have

smaller athletic budgets and aren’t allowed to give as many scholarships as Missouri’s Football Bowl Subdivision allows. So it should be a fairly lopsided contest, complete with lots of points and good feelings to start the season. In the first two years under Coach Barry Odom, Missouri scored 79 and 72 points in its

games against FCS opponents. Quarterback Drew Lock and several key offensive players return for this season, so expect another flurry of points this year, even if it may not reach those absurd levels. It’ll be interesting to see how the defense shows in their first performance of the year. Last year they gave up 43 points to Missouri State in the opener and raised concerns about the year ahead. Somewhere in the neighborhood of half that would be nice to see against the Skyhawks. Tennessee-Martin is a respectable FCS program, going 6-5 last year. They played Ole Miss, another member of the SEC, last year and lost 45-23. The Skyhawks have lost their last seven games against SEC opponents by an average margin of 42 points per game. The annual game against an FCS team doesn’t tell too much given that they’re teams from different levels, but it would still be nice to see a good showing from Missouri. The Tigers will hopefully get a smooth start to their season out of the game, and UT-Martin will get a decent paycheck for coming to Columbia to play. It’ll be hard not to overreact to this game, as it’s our first chance to watch the Tigers in eight months. But this is just the first step. It could also be a good chance to see what’s next for Missouri. The Tigers have fairly experienced starters, but (continued on Page 1 )

N. Daviess reaps harvest of books

CED

Bonnie Yates, librarian at North Daviess School, is always looking for a way to get more books for the school library. Ginger Snap of Osborn, and a member of MASL, Missouri Association of School Libraries, was aware of the limited budget that most small rural schools have in the library program. She contacted Ms. Yates over the summer and wanted to know if she and North Daviess School would be interested in the donated books, from the St. Louis School system. The books were “weeded;” which entails books that are five to eight years old and discarded from the school’s library. At MASL Spring conference it was investigated and an approval was made to donate versus destroying the books. Ms.

Yates said that Mrs. Snap had substituted at the North Daviess School and knew that the school library was one with a limited budget and books. Ms. Yates said that she immediately told Ginger that she and the school would be more than willing to accept books. New The harvest g books came Listinof this summer, in the amount of over 200 middle and high school reading level books. The books are a great addition for students to access at North Daviess for reading and research. A total of 10 small school districts benefitted this summer from the book donation. Kelly Hightree, principal, went on to state that she felt very blessed that MASL chose the North Daviess school, to better enhance the education of the students.

The Knight Pledge North Daviess Principal Kelly Hightree, with the assistance of first and second grade teacher Sandy Wallace, has implemented a new morning pledge for the elementary students.

I pledge to show Knight pride each day I will show respect for my teachers, my classmates and myself I will take responsibility for my words and my actions I will use self-control in all that I do

Bridge inspections for Route B bridge

OATS Schedule September 2018 Sept. 5 - To Chillicothe Sept. 11 - To Gallatin Sept. 14 - To Jamesport Sept. 18 - To Cameron Sept. 21 - To St. Joseph Sept. 25 - To Gallatin To schedule a ride on any of these routes, call the contact number in your town: Gallatin, Marge Hennen, (660) 663-2075; Trenton/Bethany, Joyce Becerra, (660) 663-3474; Chillicothe, Velma Maddox, (660) 663-3216; Jamesport, Galen Wilson, (660) 334-0634; Cameron, Marie Toney, (660) 663-3477.

Accident on I-35 injures four Four people were injured in an accident that happened at about 10 p.m. on Aug. 24 in Clinton County. According to the Highway Patrol, Jeremiah Gibson, 32, Gallatin, was northbound on I-35. He was following a vehicle driven by Daniel Wallace, 63, Joplin. About 10 miles south of Cameron, Mr. Gibson fell asleep and struck the rear of Mr. Wallace’s vehicle. Mr. Wallace’s 1999 Ford Econoline Van came to a controlled stop on the northbound shoulder of I-35. Mr. Gibson’s 2012 Chevrolet Traverse struck a guardrail and came to rest off the east side of the roadway in the grass, facing northwest on its wheels. Mr. Gibson and his wife, Shalena Gibson, a passenger in the vehicle, were both transported by Cameron Ambulance to Liberty Hospital. Mr. Gibson had minor injuries and Ms. Gibson had moderate injuries. They were not wearing their seat belts. Two passengers in the Wallace vehicle, Rogers Littlefield, 67, Oronogo, and Cherie Riley, 41, Carl Junction, were both transported by Cameron Ambulance to Cameron Hospital. Both had minor injuries. They were wearing their seat belts. The Chevrolet had extensive damage and the Ford had moderate damage. The accident was investigated by Trp. D.A. Landi, assisted by Tpr. B.R. Muck and Clinton County Sheriff.

The Route B bridge over I-35 will be inspected by crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation during the week of Aug. 27. No work zone is anticipated but workers will be present. Bridge inspection crews based in Northwest Missouri work to inspect the bridges in our area. This program of inspection, repair and maintenance of the more than 10,000 bridges across the state ensures the bridges are kept in the best possible condition for as long as possible for all those that travel across Missouri’s roadways. But specialized equipment is required for some inspections. Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Central Office travel around the state conducting in-depth under-bridge inspections throughout the year. This specialized crew will inspect several bridges in our area in the coming weeks. During these under-bridge inspections the work zones may be moving operations and motorists are advised to be alert for work zone signs and extra equipment on the roadways around these bridges and ramps. All work is weather permitting and could be rescheduled.

Resurfacing plan for Highway 69 Two projects beginning after Labor Day weekend will resurface two sections of U.S. Route 69 in Harrison and Daviess counties. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Herzog Contracting Corp. of St. Joseph to mill and complete surface leveling on U.S. Route 69 between U.S. Route 136 (Harrison) and Route C (Daviess) and between Interstate 35 and Route 6 in Daviess County. Crews plan to begin work Sept. 4 on the portion in Daviess County, but will begin soon thereafter on the northern section in Daviess and Harrison counties and will run two crews simultaneously until the project is finished. Both sections are scheduled for completion on or before Sept. 25. Crews will work Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. The road will be narrowed to one lane and motorists will be directed through the work zone using flaggers and a pilot car.

2018 drought differs from 2012: varied impact across state Scattered rains brought slight improvements this past week in a drought affecting most of the state. In his weekly “Drought Picture,” University of Missouri economist Scott Brown tracks dry weather severity for farmers. “This drought is more varied than the last drought,” Brown said. “Within the state drought remains heaviest in northern counties.” For Missouri farms affected this year, it’s bad. But overall it’s not like 2012, a drought that changed the farm economy. Now, 72 percent of Missouri faces a D1 or moderate drought. But 17 percent of the state is D3, or extreme drought. That compares to 2012 when 90 percent of the state was D3 and D4, or exceptional drought, for five weeks. This year the drought moderates locally with scattered showers, but widespread rains normally brought by cold fronts are lacking. Corn maturing early showed slight improvement in yield outlook this past week. But 79 percent of the corn crop passed dent stage. No more yield increase there. That compares with denting at 53 percent on average by this time for the past five years. Soybean yield projections remain flat. But soybean fields still hold promise. Beans keep blooming if dry weather withers early attempts. In the fourth week of August, 76 percent were still setting pods. Only 2 percent showed color, marking maturity. Livestock don’t fare well with 72 percent of pastures rating poor or very poor. Haymaking was cut short. Brown says hay prices shot up $60 per ton since first of the year. USDA reports average hay prices run $150 per ton. That’s higher than record prices set in 2012. Missouri projects hay produc-

tion at 5.2 million tons. That’s less than in 2012 and lowest since the 1988 drought. Making cattle care worse is lack of hay in the barn. May first hay stocks were only 580,000 tons, lowest since 1984. A real mark of drought for cattle farmers occurs when they start hauling water. Ponds and creeks have dried up. Now 59 percent of Missouri’s stock water is short to very short. With short forage and water, rural rumors say cattle are going to the sale barn. Brown says market reports don’t show a dramatic increase in cattle sales. Some feeder calves are weaned early, boosting calf movement. But that isn’t a drastic change from recent years. Southwestern Missouri cattle have moved more in the last nine weeks, Brown said. The drought

hit that area later than northern Missouri. Southwest cow culling went up in the last six weeks. Missouri had just returned to No. 2 in cow herd size in the nation. State rankings shifted after the drought of 2012. After rebuilding, Missouri herd owners remain slow to downsize. A major difference from the 2012 drought has been differences across the state. Northern Missouri counties suffered early and heaviest. Most counties declared for emergency assistance have been north of the Missouri River. There’s little lap over into southern Iowa or eastern Kansas. The remainder of the Corn Belt stays in better shape. Within the state, an area of the east-central Ozarks south of St. Louis and north of Sikeston shows near-normal rainfalls.

City (continued from page one) Bills totaling in the amount of $25,597.85 were approved for payment. Discussion was held on the People Service Operation and Maintenance Report for July 2018. The mayor was authorized to sign a Consent to Emergency Water Connection with the Public Water Supply District No. 2 of Daviess County. The consent allows the City of Gallatin to temporarily allocate an additional 30,000 gallons of water to Daviess PWSD #2, which will allow Daviess PWSD #2 to then sell up to 30,000 gallons of water per day to Caldwell 2. The consent is effective until Dec. 31, 2018. Administrator Stonecypher lead a discussion on replacing and redesigning the ramp into city hall. The above are the unapproved minutes of the regular meeting for the City of Gallatin held Aug. 27 at city hall. Present were

Hamilton driver wrecks on Hwy. 13, later arrested A Hamilton man received moderate injuries in an accident that happened at 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 23. According to the Highway Patrol, Dennis McBroom, 60, Hamilton, was northbound on Highway 13. About four miles south of Gallatin, Mr. McBroom traveled off the west side of the roadway and struck an embankment. His 2005 Hyundai Elantra came to rest in the ditch facing northwest. Mr. McBroom was transported by Daviess County Ambulance to Cameron Regional Medical Center. He was not wearing a seat belt. The Hyundai was totaled. The accident was investigated by Cpl. J.M. Cross. At 6:01 a.m. on Aug. 23, Mr. McBroom was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol in for felony DWI-habitual offender; driving without a valid license; and failure to drive on the right half of the roadway. He was released for medical treatment.

Three fire departments responded but were not able to save this Coff ey h om e.

Fire leaves family of 7 without home The Coffey home of Lindsey Terry and Nick Stevens caught fire early last Tuesday, Aug. 21, leaving only the burned out shell, and displacing the seven members of the family. Lindsey and Nick are engaged to be married and their family consists of five children from earlier marriages. The children range in age from five to 15 and all attend school at North Daviess in Jameson. “We lost everything,” said Lindsey. The house is located inside the city limits of Coffey near the post office. The fire started around 4 a.m. and the cause was apparently electrical, starting in the attic. Pattonsburg, Bethany and Coffey Fire Departments responded. “We weren’t at home at the

time,” Lindsey says. “We were lucky at that one.” The family had been having exterminator work done at the house and was staying at a hotel in Bethany. Nick is the manager at the One Stop in Bethany and Lindsey works at Hy-Vee. They are looking at buying a home in Bethany to be closer to their work. They have received donations in the way of clothing, but could also use furniture and household. If you would like to help the family, call Lindsey Terry at 660868-2375 or Nic Stevens at 660868-2315. You can also just drop donations off at the Winston Pit Stop. “We’ve had some excellent donations of clothing and food and blankets and things like that, from a lot of really nice people,” Lindsey says.

Save the date for Kickin’ Cancer Be sure and save the date of Saturday, Oct. 6, for the Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness event in Gallatin. The fundraiser block party will be held between 5 and 6:30 p.m. on Market Street, between Gallatin Lumber Company and the Methodist Church. This event benefits Daviess County cancer patients by raising money to provide them with free gas cards as they travel to medical treatments. Bring your family and enjoy a BBQ sandwich dinner and entertainment by Dammit Jim. Contact Nancy Tate, 660-6632588; Janie McKinsey, 660-6632545 or Johnny Brown, 816-6173245, with questions about how

you can help or for more information. Watch for more details in upcoming issues of the North Missourian. For cancer patients, free gas cards are available at Farmers Bank and BTC Bank in Gallatin. Pick up your gas cards in the bank lobby or drive-up window at either bank to help with your transportation costs when going to treatments. The Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness committee encourages cancer patients to use these cards that have been purchased from Wall Street Station from the money raised at the annual fall BBQ.

Lori Kloepping will tell you that she is “one lucky gal.” “If I had to be diagnosed with a condition that required a kidney transplant, it could not have happened in a more wonderful community and surrounding area,” she said. She will tell you that the community and family outpouring has been overwhelming and that she could not be more grateful. Now comes additional support, which is needed for Lori to continue on her medication and for doctor’s expenses. Paul Pierce (actually a double

cousin to Lori) and the Pierce family have come up with another rather unique fundraiser. Paul runs Pierce Gun Works out of his parts business, Pierce Auto Supply, on the northwest corner of the square. Paul is donating a custom rifle to be raffled to raise additional funds for Lori and her medical needs. Paul is a talented gunsmith who has completely hand-crafted a beautiful custom bolt action rifle and donated it for the raffle. The crafting of the gun has been a Pierce family project with both Andrew and Daniel contribut-

ing. A detailed description and picture of the rifle appears in a donated ad elsewhere in this paper. Additionally, the rifle may be viewed more closely at Paul’s store. Tickets will be sold for $20 each with a goal of selling 300 tickets. The drawing will be held Sept. 17 at the Gallatin Chautauqua Saturday night program. Ticket printing costs have been donated by Gallatin Publishing. All of the sale proceeds from the raffle will go to the Kloepping family.

Heartstrings tug through the 2018 Hugs from Home

L ef t: M ar il yn D em ke is kn ow n as th e h ead “ h ugger ” [ su b m itted ph otos]

Do you know any military personnel deployed during December who might need a “Hug from Home?” This marks the fifth year local volunteers are working to give handmade quilts as free gifts to men and women in the U.S. military service stationed overseas during the Christmas season. Right now there are 14 quilts completed with 55 more quilts ready to be tied. This year’s goal is 100 handmade quilts. “Huggers” can be found in small towns across America. Locally there are approximately 60 to 70 people involved in the project. Most of the quilting work is done at private residences; work days are scheduled at 112 S. Main in the small building located across the street from the Gallatin post office. Others contribute in other ways, such as donating fabric, cutting squares, sorting squares, making designs with squares, making them into kits. Mormon missionaries from Adam-ondiAhman are also helping this year with sewing. To defray shipping costs, Hugs from Home plans to sponsor a Haunted House during the upcoming Halloween holiday. This activity will be staged in the back end of the building owned by Marilyn Demke, across from the post office. During October the haunted house will open Saturdays from 6 to 10 p.m. as well as on Halloween night for a suggested donation of $5 per person. All donations collected will be applied to the cost of shipping quilts overseas to U.S. servicemen. Last year’s haunted house raised about $300 toward the $4,000 that it took to ship the 246 quilts overseas. Hugs from Home volunteers will also work a booth at Gallatin’s Chautauqua on Sept. 1415 and also at Hamilton’s J.C. Penney Days on Sept. 22 where they will accept donations to go towards shipping costs for the quilts. Anyone who donates $20 or more can pick anything in the booth as a gift, each having a value of over $20.

Fund raising efforts also include the auction of special quilts and items that are too fancy to go overseas because of the rough conditions where they would be in use. These additional items include kitchen aprons and Christmas wreaths embellished with flowers and ribbons. Hugs from Home accumulates names of servicemen from conversations as well as from names submitted on the website, hugsfromhomeproject.org. “We usually get a smattering of names from different units,” says Marilyn Demke, the volunteer who spearheads this project each year. “If you have anyone you would like to have us send a quilt to, please fill out the form on the website, where you will also find answers to any questions you might have,” said Demke. “But,” she added, “we must have an APO address, otherwise shipping would be too cost prohibitive — the $19 cost would increase to around $50 or more. You can also donate online or you can mail your donations to the address on the website,” Marilyn added. For more info, telephone Marilyn Demke at 660.663.2361.
