First 50 doses of COVID-19 vaccine received locally

by Cheryl Alexander, RN, County Health Dept. Administrator

North

We received 50 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to vaccinate our Phase 1A healthcare workers.

The first dose for our 50 healthcare workers is complete; we will do their second dose 21-28 days after their first dose. Then if the federal government releases more Moderna vaccine, I will start on Phase 1B which is a much larger group than 1A. This being said, I know we will not receive enough vaccine

Winston man caught chopping cars Joseph Leggio, 23, Winston, was arrested for tampering with a vehicle by the Kansas City Police Department on Jan. 4, 2021.

During Leggio’s arrest, Leggio was also found with a stolen trailer and plates to a stolen vehicle from Cameron. This evidence led to a search warrant.

Upon searching Leggio’s property, two more stolen vehicles were found: a silver Mazda sedan that had been stripped for parts and a 1999 Ford F250

spray painted with a camouflage design. Drug paraphernalia and methamphetamine were also discovered in Leggio’s residence.

Leggio’s relatives and neighbors were suspicious of his activities and said it appeared he may have been stealing and chopping cars for several months prior to his arrest.

Witnesses stated that Leggio had random vehicles entering and leaving the premises at strange hours, though it is un-

known how many of the vehicles were actually stolen.

Family members believe Leggio has been using methamphetamine for the past few months.

Daviess County deputies reported Leggio displayed paranoid tendencies and was easily agitated in recent encounters.

Leggio was released from custody for unidentified reasons and has not communicated with family members. His whereabouts remain unknown.

City aldermen target ‘invitation to bid’ on streets; bids accepted for AMI metering, new dump truck The City of Gallatin reviewed and accepted the 2021 Street Improvement Project Invitation to Bid during their meeting held Jan. 11.

Improvements are planned for the following streets: (Priority) West Grand from Market to Ash Street; (Alternate #1) Corrine Street from MM Hwy to Rocky Road; (Alternate #2) Berry Street from Hwy 13 to Swope Street. The invitation to bid will now be submitted to contractors.

In other business, the aldermen moved to accept an AMI metering system bid from Core & Main based on recommendations from Administrator Lance Rains and Public Works Director Mark Morey.

Two AMI metering bids (estimated costs) were submitted: Core & Main (Sensus) at $425,852;

and Landis+Gyr (Fletcher-Reinhardt/Sensus) at $454,335.80. Morey stated his recommendation would be for Core & Main based off of the amount of strength the sensus radios have to collect the data as well as the use of a single collection tower verses a mesh network.

The board accepted a dump truck bid from Load King LK10DB - Peterbilt 337 4X2 at $97,899. Other dump truck bids were as follows: 2019 Ford F750Landmark Ford East $142,996; 2020 Hino Trucks 338 Dump Truck $87,719; Load King LK10DB – Freightliner M2106 $96,900; Western Star 4700SB $104,913.

OPINION

January 13, 2021

Character matters

What a week. A sad week has transpired since self-identified “patriots” stormed government buildings, vandalized property, and threatened public employees at our national capitol. Five Americans died. The news has been and continues to be overwhelming, and today members of Congress consider impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

We are, of course, only observers of this incredibly embarrassing and disheartening saga. The “average Joe” is challenged to sort through the confusion. The true patriot is the guy who closely listens and respectfully considers various viewpoints; our greatest responsibility is to discern objective factual news from inflammable bias and political rhetoric. There are many examples of our elected leaders saving face and pointing fingers. What’s needed is serious soul searching.

T

he overwhelming majority of voters in Daviess County voted for Donald Trump. Support for conservative values will not wane here despite the transgressions by this current face of the Republican Party. But, if blindly supporting all things Trump, have we contributed to the turmoil as enablers, tacitly approving strife which now includes the very definition of insurrection?

There are glimpses of statesmanship, perhaps best personified by Sen. Mitt Romney. Others now publicly admit mistakes in judgment, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham in reversing his position. There is solace in the decisions made thus far by Vice President Mike Pence, an honorable man who no doubt wrestles with conflicts concerning his responsibilities. Trump, on the other hand, says he is blameless. Again.

Soul searching is not just for those we’ve elected but for us all.

The issue is accountability. How do we go about making offenders – all offenders, any and every offender properly identified – accountable?

As this piece is written, Presidential censure seems inadequate.

Invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump is expedient but unlikely. Impeachment will soon be voted upon. Criminal investigations are underway with many more arrests adding to the 70-plus already

by Darryl Wilkinson facing charges anticipated.

Legal moves leveled against President Trump are important not so much “to get” President Trump as to force our elected Congressional officeholders to show us their convictions for the record. We must know their measure of accountability. Obviously, most Americans are not in position to immediately affect what’s about to transpire. Only the officials we elect can. So, we need to know precisely what they think and how they vote … so that we’ll know what to do when these officeholders next face election.

That’s how our democracy works. Votes should be taken on implementing the 25th Amendment and impeachment if for no other reason than to help clarify things for you and me as voters.

Off the Editor’s Spike...

W

hat is clear at this juncture is the deplorable conduct of Missouri’s own Sen. Josh Hawley. His misguided challenge of the Electoral College is despicable political grandstanding. Unwilling to accept the popular vote and the rulings of various courts, Hawley maneuvered to replay his rhetoric in the court of public opinion for personal gain. Clearly, he puts his personal political ambition ahead of civic responsibilities. His mentors, financial supporters, and colleagues are offended. As voters we should be, too. What has been revealed makes him impotent to represent Missouri even if we’re dumb enough to re-elect him. Accountability matters. In a republic, we get exactly what we deserve.

Repudiating Trump does not mean abandoning conservative values. That’s what this bully has duped us into thinking. An individual’s character matters. Freedom of speech does not allow anyone to scream “Fire!” in a crowded room of people when no fire exists. This applies to you and to me and to President Trump. Nobody is above the law; ultimately, this is what accountability is all about.

Four years ago a majority of voters sent Donald Trump to the White House embracing his status as an “outsider” and enabling him to rule as a disrupter (Democrats contributed to Trump’s successful election by what they offered as our only alternative). As president, Trump consistently has disrupted the status quo even to the excess of encouraging mob assault on our national capitol. As a disrupter his tactics are as easy to understand as a schoolyard bully. Censure, the 25th Amendment and impeachment are the means to take the bully out of the bully pulpit. But with only a week for him to remain in office, Trump apologists paint such steps as emotionally rash for punitive motives — even though catalyst for impeachment is insurrection. Is accountability relative to time frame? Is accountability a matter of convenience?

If Trump respected our country above himself, he would admit disgrace and, as President Nixon once did, simply resign. But a character like Trump only respects one thing: the Almighty Dollar. What he values most is what he’s never revealed despite historical precedence by all previously holding our nation’s highest office: transparency on personal finances. Everything Trump does is about the deal.

Listen to him speak. Truth becomes relative when the measure is in dollars. Trump never considers himself as “a loser;” bullies don’t know shame or humility. It comes as no surprise he refuses to resign.

History is littered with disgraced characters who somehow bully their way back into positions of power.

There are questions other than just impeachment. We should be asking how President Trump (or any President, for that matter) might legally issue a Presidential pardon for himself as he departs from office – or would even need to …and from what. How do you explain that?

We should also keep track of a defamation lawsuit filed last Friday by Dominion Voting Systems seeking $1.3 billion against an ex-Trump lawyer trashing the vote counting process. Accusations about the company’s equipment used to count votes in this past Presidential election (despite confirmations by manual recounts and unsuccessful challenges in courts) will dramatically affect the future livelihood of 300 employees. The company’s CEO says the lawsuit is not about the dollars (what individual has $1.3 billion?) but for their “day in court” — to expose the impetus of the falsehoods and how and by whom the allegations of a “rigged” election were amplified. Truth exempts no one. This is what accountability with a price tag looks like. We must keep watching to see if accountability reigns during the years of litigation to come.

P

erhaps Pogo said it best. During the 1960s, “Pogo” was a popular comic strip by Walt Kelly. His characters lived, for the most part, in hollow trees amidst lushly rendered backdrops of wetlands, bayous, lagoons and backwoods. During the turmoil caused by the Vietnam War, the comic strip’s main character, Pogo, paraphrased a military dispatch famous in our navy’s history by declaring: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” How true. Even a comic strip character knows about accountability.

What’s true in our personal lives is the same truth on any scale. Character matters. Trump (meaning Trump-Hawley-Ted Cruz and others) should be held 609B South Main, P.O.

Speaker Vescovo to lead

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

On Jan. 6 new and returning House members took the oath of office and officially began the 2021 legislative session. The new session marks the start of the 101st General Assembly. The House begins the year with 114 Republican members, 48 Democrat members, and one vacancy.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, members elected Rob Vescovo of Jefferson County to serve as the new Speaker of the House. He then delivered a speech where he thanked members for their support and outlined his legislative priorities for the session.

His speech placed a heavy emphasis on education. He said, “If we want to better serve the people of our state, we must invest in our young people on the front end rather than pay the cost of incarceration on the backend when our system fails them.

That is why we must support policies that focus on empowerment rather than imprisonment.”

Speaker Vescovo said he supports a tax deduction for foster parents and expanding the existing adoption tax credit to make adoption more affordable for Missouri families.

He also emphasized reducing regulatory red tape for businesses, common sense legal reforms to prevent job-killing lawsuits, making the state’s tax system fairer and more transparent, and ensuring members of the law enforcement community are properly trained and equipped to protect Missouri’s communities.

The Speaker of the House is the most influential position in the House, if not all of state government.

Speaker Vescovo was one of the first of my class I got to know, as we met while standing in line at the Secretary of State’s office waiting to file for election for the first time in 2014. We struck up a strong friendship then, and I look forward to working under his leadership for the next two years to serve Northwest Missouri.

Gallatin aldermen following: two domestic disturbances; 1 traffic complaint; 1 animal problem; 1 citizen dispute; 1 trespassing; 1 welfare check; 1 burglary; 1 information report; 1 traffic accident; 1 structure fire; 1 runaway juvenile; 1 arrest warrant; 1 property damage; 1 child abuse or neglect.

The board briefly discussed the use of masks in the City of Gallatin. The board isn’t interested in implementing a mask mandate at this time.

City crews have a good supply of salt is on hand for the next winter storm.

Mr. Morey has been working on sending and collecting bids for various items that were budgeted for 2021. He was told to expect a four to six-month delivery delay for the enclosed trailer.

Crews will be working on taking down Christmas lights this week. Dielectric testing will occur for the bucket trucks in the electric department.

The city still hasn’t received any response or update from Snyder and Associates.

The December transaction report was approved. Bills totalling in the amount of $155,787.33 were approved for payment. The board approved the 2020 Year End Financial Review.

The board has given Administrator Rains the authority to work with the customer regarding a large water bill from a water leak.

City Clerk Rains provided the board a brochure for a cloudbased application to allow for

(continued from page 1)

more transparency with city customers regarding their utility usage and bills. Rains recommended the city bring up the discussion this fall after the AMI system has been installed and “gWorks” has officially rolled out the new application.

The board made decisions regarding the following CDs: • CD Maturity with Farmers Bank for $65,199.07: The board agreed to roll this CD at the best rate for a maturity date of 2024.

• CD Maturity with BTC Bank for $100,917.48: The board agreed to roll this CD at the best rate for 12-months.

The board agreed to take out an additional CD for $65,000 out of the Sales Tax Savings Account with a maturity date of 2025.

City Clerk Rains will provide the competitive CD rates from Farmers and BTC Bank at the next meeting to make the final decisions with the funds.

The board reviewed the previously proposed electric rate increases but no decision was made. The topic will remain on the agenda for the next meeting.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting held on Jan. 11, at City Hall. Present were Mayor Barbara Ballew, Board President Carol Walker, Aldermen Steve Evans, Dan Lockridge, Dan McCann, Administrator Lance Rains, Clerk Hattie Rains, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chief Mark Richards, Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett, Core and Main Representative.

DAVIESS S COUNTY On Fi lm

From the archives of the North Missourian, compiled by Darryl Wilkinson — darryl@GPCink.com

Do you know any faces in this crowd at Gallatin’s old CRI&P railroad depot?

This copy of a period photo is shared by Paul Behling who purchased the unusual original at an antique store for display in his 150-year-old home in Garnett, KS. The format is so large horizontally that Paul necessarily took four separate digital photos and then spliced them together to submit as one whole for our photo archives and to share here with you.

This scene is thought to be the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific (CRI&P) railroad depot. As is the case in many instances of old photos, further identification is elusive. None of the people shown are identified; trim and other features of the building don’t exactly match any of the other railroad depot photos already archived.

A precise date is unknown.

In the early 1900s, two railroad bisected tracks in the Grand River bottoms east of Gallatin. In comparison to other postcard scenes, it could be this crowd photo was taken so that the depot either eclipsed the old hotel found there or perhaps the photo was taken after the hotel ceased to exist. The roof of the small building, left of the depot, may be a match to a small building shown in a postcard scene dated 1908 ...or perhaps not.

The unusually wide format of this crowd photo is reminiscent of another Gallatin scene, that of the business square and courthouse taken in 1915 which has been enlarged and on display in the lobby at Gallatin Publishing Company. Unlike the business square photo, however, this depot photo has no distortion.

The CRI&P railroad bisected Daviess County from east to west. Daviess county gave its first monetary subscription to CRI& P following the Civil War on April 7, 1868. The first cars reached the county on June 21, 1870 via the St. Louis & Omaha line, later called the Wabash. The Wabash line went north from Gallatin through Pattonsburg and “opened up the vast prairies of Iowa and Nebraska to the lumber regions of this county... probably a million feet of lumber has been sent west annually since this road was completed” (a 12-year period).

Kansas men found in possession of controlled substance in I-35 stop Michael A. Moore, 51, and Bruce A. Breasure, 51, were arrested for possession of a controlled substance after being pulled over on I-35 on Jan. 9.

The driver, Moore, was pulled over by Tpr. N. Regan for an expired Missouri registration.

Moore was also driving without a license. Regan reported that Moore seemed nervous. After getting consent to search him, he found crystalline substance in Moore’s pocket and placed him under arrest.

Regan then spoke to Breasure, the passenger. Breasure

handed the officer some marijuana. Regan then searched the vehicle and found more crystalline substance close to the passenger seat. Breasure confirmed that the substance was his, and he was arrested alongside Moore.

After further exploration, it was revealed that Moore had two warrants from Cass County and Breasure had a past drug involvement in Sussex County, DE, back in 1997.

The pair was taken to Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail on a 24-hour hold.

The Active Aging Resource Center in Gallatin was the recent recipient of a $10,000 grant from CAPNCMO. In collaboration with the CARES Act, Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri (CAPNCM) presented local senior centers with grants for $10,000.

Eleven senior centers will benefit from the $10,000 grants, including one grant for each of the two centers located in Daviess County, at Gallatin and at Pattonsburg. The senior centers plan to use the funding in their areas of most need, including repairs, meals, special pro-

grams, etc.

Other area grants include one each in Caldwell, Grundy, Harrison, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam, and Sullivan counties, and one grant for each of the two centers located in Linn County.

CAPNCM covers a ninecounty area of northern Missouri, offering programs and services designed to help alleviate poverty. Through the Coronavirus Relief Fund, the CARES Act provides for payments to State, Local, and Tribal governments navigating the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Ex Harrison County Deputy charged for tampering with evidence Kevin D. Lawson, 44, Gilman City, was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor on Jan. 11. He is a former resident of Daviess County.

Lawson, former Chief Deputy at the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department, was a person of interest in an investigation regarding lost evidence logs.

According to the probable cause statement from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Lawson supposedly destroyed these evidence logs.

Sheriff Trevor Place, replacement for former deceased Sheriff John Eckerson, could not find the original files. Officials from the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department state that Lawson created a new evidence log to replace the originals that were destroyed.

Upon additional investigation, it was reported that two items of a controlled substance were missing from the evidence log and had not been registered in the evidence room as of Au-

gust 2019. It was also reported that Lawson had no justification as to why these would be missing from the new evidence log he had created.

Lawson was officially charged with tampering with physical evidence in felony prosecution for the dates of April 1, 2019, and Aug. 10, 2019, and tampering with a public record for April 1, 2019. Lawson is scheduled by criminal summons on Feb. 3 in the Associate Division of the Circuit Court in Harrison County.

Altamont trustee meetings suspended The Village of Altamont continues to suspend meetings of its trustees due to COVID-19.

Grant to benefit homeless in six counties

Bathroom fire ignites home The Gallatin Fire Protection District responded to a report of a single-family residence on fire at 607 East Mill Street at 11:58 a.m. on Jan. 8, 2021.

Firefighters on scene reported that the house was emitting smoke through the windows, doors, and roof vents. The occupants, Michael and Charity Ward, safely escaped and additional aid was requested. The responding firefighters extinguished the flames from within the home.

The fire originated in the bathroom and continued up to the attic through the hallway attic fan. The bulk of the damage was contained to the two active areas. However, the rest of the home received substantial smoke and heat damage. The home is owned by Tony Moore.

Respondents include Gallatin Police, Daviess County EMS, Gallatin Fire Protection District, Jamesport Fire District, KAW Fire District, and Jameson Fire District.

Darlene Mackintosh will be turning 95 on Jan. 17, 2021. She and her husband, the late David Mackintosh, came to Gallatin for Doc to be the veterinarian.

They lived in Gallatin over 60 years and were the grand marshals of the Chautauqua parade in 1999. She would enjoy hearing from her Gallatin friends. Her address is 13410 Blondo Street #106, Omaha, NE 68164.

The Community Resource Center (CRC) based at Chillicothe announces that it has received a grant for up to $500,000 to assist in reducing homelessness in six north Missouri counties, including Daviess. The grant will enable CRC to provide help to eligible persons or families in the counties of Livingston, Linn, Caldwell, Carroll, Daviess, and Grundy. Funding is through the CARES Act- Coronavirus Emergency Solutions Grant Program, administered statewide by the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC).

Specific program benefits to north Missourians are based on eligibility, and will include: • Homeless Prevention Program: CRC will be working with individuals or families to help them retain rental housing or pay past due utility bills where arrearages in rents or utilities

payments are due to loss of employment or reductions in income due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

• Rapid Re-housing Program: The CRC will also be able to work with individuals or families to become “re-housed” if they have lost housing due to evictions for rent payment arrearages or foreclosure. Rehousing will have to be in a rental unit. Other eligible expenses can include paying deposits and utilities.

The CRC will also be working with owners of rental housing units to answer their questions about program operations and eligibility.

The Community Resource Center is a community base, nonprofit corporation formed for the purpose of addressing homelessness and its root causes.

The CRC has been operating a

homeless shelter and working in other related program areas for the past eight years.

More information on program guidelines and eligibility can be obtained by calling the Community Resource Center at 660-646-1667.

Poster (continued from page 1) brary received submissions from Pattonsburg and North Daviess schools as well as one home school family.

The library received 46 posters from area students. However, the commission only accepted two entries per judging category per eligible sponsoring institution.

The Gallatin National Honor Society (NHS) Chapter raised $500 for Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness through the sale of ‘awareness’ shirts and jeans.

The chapter hosted an Awareness Month in November for both the high school and middle school. Each week was designated to have a different issue that NHS wanted to increase awareness on. The weeks ranged from kindness to raising awareness for all types of cancer.

Members encouraged staff and students to participate in activities that would create conversations about what issue mattered most to them. In addition, all teachers and staff members district-wide were allowed to wear jeans every Monday in the month of November with a monetary donation.

The contest was open to elementary school students (grades 3–6) and secondary school students (grades 7–12) within Missouri’s 114 counties, as well as the independent City of St. Louis.

Entries were asked to interpret the theme: Sharing Missouri’s stories—past, present,

and future.

Students were asked to use two-dimensional art media (i.e. paints, crayons, colored pencils or collage) and ensure the media will transfer to a poster format.

The judging committee will include members of the Missouri Bicentennial Commission and arts professionals.

Gallatin’s boys took down Lawson, 67-47, Tuesday night to advance to a rare meeting with Chillicothe Thursday in the semifinal round of the Lawson Tournament. The game will be played at 7 p.m. in the Cardinal High School gym.

The Bulldogs never trailed in the contest following Brinley Vandiver’s opening bucket.

The GHS junior, who finished with 9 points, contributed 16 rebounds to his team’s effort.

Isaac Bird led Bulldog scorers with 21 points. Payton Feiden provided steady production with 12 points. Vandiver and Johnny Stout each finished with 9 points.

Elle Copple canned a 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the third quarter and another deep into the final period.

Copple led all GHS scorers with 6 points. Beck finished with 4, Ella Bradford notched a pair, as well. The final outcome was 55-13.

Gallatin’s girls face Trenton tonight (Wednesday) at 5 p.m. in the high school gym.

A total of $500 was raised from jeans donations and the sales of awareness shirts last year that enabled NHS to donate to Daviess County Kickin Cancer with Kindness. Kickin Cancer with Kindness assists Daviess County cancer patients with transportation expenses incurred going to treatments.

Pattonsburg, #1 water district extend agreement Special Meeting During a special meeting on Dec. 3, the City of Pattonsburg and Public Water Supply District Number One decided to extend their current water contract agreement at the same price until July 1, 2021. The city’s attorney Robert Cowherd will prepare the document.

Regular Meeting During the regular meeting of the City of Pattonsburg held Dec. 14, the board carried a motion during the special meeting to contact an engineer and have them check the water system.

Allstate Consultants was notified, and their statement of qualifications was reviewed.

The board agreed to go with Allstate to do a system check on the city’s water plant and to do a system check on the water dis-

trict system as well.

An application will be made for a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development or a Missouri Department of Natural Resource’s engineering services grant.

Other items on the Dec. 14 agenda included street bids and a gas barrel; both were tabled until more information is obtained.

The water district’s master meter for the north district has failed to register water usage.

The board voted to install a two-way meter, located north of Forrest Avenue going to the district so the city can keep track of the water usage.

A motion was approved to take $250,000 from the Waterworks account and open a Certificate of Deposit for a five-year

term with the compound interest being put back into the CD. Next meeting set for Jan. 11.

Special Meeting The City of Pattonsburg held another special meeting on Dec. 22 during which the board agreed to adopt the resolution for the Daviess County Hazard Mitigation Plan, after the resolution was read twice.

Dean Leaper attended the meeting to get approval from the council to do improvements to farmland in the old town, such as drainage ditches and taking out some trees. He said he has his own dozer and normally gets $130 per hour. The board agreed to let him do the improvements up to 30 hours at $130 per hour and take the dollar amount off the lease payment in April 2021.
