Some rural hospitals receiving CARES Act money, but some not Some rural hospitals in Missouri are receiving as much as $150,000 in CARES Act funding to help offset a loss of revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Others, meanwhile, might have to pay back parts of previous pandemicrelated relief.

A news release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services stated 62 rural hospitals that provide services to underserved populations would be receiving funds if they can attest that business interruptions resulted in loss of revenue.

But that doesn’t include all medical facilities. Officials at Cameron Regional Medical Center not only don’t expect to see new CARES Act funding, they are concerned they may need to pay former grants back.

Joseph Abrutz Jr., hospital administrator at Cameron Regional Medical Center, said some Payment Protection Program (PPP) grant money previously given to the facility may need to be returned to the federal government.

Mr. Abrutz said the hospital received more than $11 million last year for payment of about 400 workers. He said the Cameron hospital ex-

A Goat Tea Party

It started a year or so ago when Brooke Lee of Winston hosted a tea party for her sons and nieces and Brooke’s pet goats decided to crash the party. The goats drank everyone’s tea, so the gathering was dubbed the “Goat Tea Party.”

Brooke’s aunts heard about the goat tea party and wanted to be a part of the action. Now, fastforward to April 12, 2021. Party invitations were extended to all with 15 family members at-

perienced a revenue dip of around $13 million dollars this year.

Abrutz said he has been made aware Cameron Regional Medical Center may have to pay back about half of its payment protection loans, amounting to about $5 million.

“We would hope to receive some of the money from that $1.9 trillion this year, but unless there’s something different it would be a pleasant surprise if we received any money of what was passed a couple weeks ago,” Abrutz said. “We were pleased with what we received last year, but quite frankly we were not pleased with what was passed by the administration and Congress.”

Dave Dillon, a spokesman for the Missouri Hospital Association, said in an email that overall rural hospitals are expected to have a positive operating margin for 2020, but each hospital has its own set of financial challenges.

Not all received grants, and some will have to pay back portions to the U.S. Treasury. The hospital has provided significant resources.

Donations key to maintain Gallatin cemeteries Drive high, Your help needed -- shortfall of over $10,000 last year; city budget covers mowings only The City of Gallatin will be accepting memorial contributions to help finance the continued maintenance of Lile Cemetery, Brown Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery.

Gallatin has been tasked with the maintenance of the cemeteries with no source of income to perform such a duty.

The lowest most responsive bid for performing the mowing this year was $675 per mowing. During a normal year between 18 and 23 mowings are necessary. Last year mowing expense totaled $10,820.

The city received $754.49 in donations to help offset this cost -- a shortfall of $10,065.51 which was made up by using funds from the

city’s General Budget.

“Our Cemetery Budget for cemetery upkeep in 2021 is $13,000,” says City Administrator Lance Rains. “This will only include the mowing.

“Most people don’t understand that Gallatin doesn’t receive any money from the sale of cemetery plots. In fact, there has been a moratorium on the sale of the remaining plots because there was some confusion on lot ownership due to multiple people selling lots in the 1990s.”

Mr. Rains also says it is not widely known that the maintenance of a cemetery plot remains the responsibility of the family mem-

bers and not the cemetery association in general.

“Our goal is to get enough donations to not only pay for the mowing but also to remove some of the old trees, level some of the plots and straighten some of the headstones,” Rains explains.

Contributions may be placed in the drop box in the alley at City Hall or mailed to the City of Gallatin, C/O Cemetery Memorial Contribution, 112 E. Grand St., Gallatin, Mo. 64640.

“Thank you in advance for your assistance and contributions on this very important project,” says Mr. Rains.

Send ticks for research study at Kirksville, MDC Most people who have ventured through Missouri woods, fields, yards, and other outdoor environments have encountered ticks. These small, creepy crawlers climb on and cling to clothes and skin in search of a blood meal.

Some tick species and the bacterial pathogens they carry can also cause illnesses in people.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and A.T. Still University in Kirksville are asking people to save ticks they encounter and mail them to the University. The ticks will be used for a new scientific research study to help better understand the statewide distribution of tick species and the human pathogens they carry.

Ticks are large mites that drink the blood of humans and other mammals. Ticks can also carry and spread pathogens that cause illnesses in people.

Missouri is home to three common species of ticks that bite humans: lone star tick, American dog tick, and deer tick. Adult ticks are about a quarter-inch long and grow to nearly double that when engorged with blood.

Learn more about ticks from

the MDC online Field Guide at nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/ticks.

MDC and A.T. Still University are partnering on a two-year research study to determine the presence of tick species throughout Missouri as well as the pathogens they may harbor.

The study will begin in April and conclude in September 2022.

During that time, MDC and the University are asking Missourians mail ticks to A.T. Still University to be identified by species and life stage and tested for four species of bacterial pathogens.

“We need the help of many Missourians around the state,” said MDC Ecological Health Unit Science Supervisor Matt Combes. “Participation by many ‘citizen scientists’ is vital in helping us collect enough data at a scale unattainable by MDC and University scientists alone.”

To help with the research efforts, people are asked to place each live tick in a plastic zip-top bag with a piece of damp paper towel or moist cotton ball, then fold the bag and place it inside another plastic zip-top bag with a completed sample-submission form.

University Senior Research

Associate Deb Hudman noted the research is not intended to provide clinical diagnosis of any illness someone may have, and study information should not be interpreted as a substitute for medical testing or consultation with a physician.

“The resulting research data will be used to determine at the county level what tick species and bacterial pathogens are present for the state of Missouri. (continued on page 10)

April 20, also referred to as 420 by cannabis enthusiasts as code for smoking marijuana, has quickly spread as a celebratory day across the country. While cannabis is now legalized for recreational use in many states and medicinal use only by Missouri, it is still illegal in all states to drive under the influence of it.

Law enforcement will be out April 16-21 to crack down on drugged driving offenders.

“Driving drug-impaired or riding with someone who is drugimpaired is not worth the risk,” said Jon Nelson, chair of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. “Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and financial costs of a crash or an arrest for driving while substance-impaired can be significant. The consequences are serious and real.”

According to preliminary 2021 data, 93 people were killed and 180 more were seriously injured in Missouri traffic crashes that involved at least one drugimpaired driver. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety reminds motorists of the various options available to get everyone home safely. Designating a sober driver, calling a ride share or using public transportation are just a few of those options. Remember, if you feel different, you drive different.

“We encourage all drivers to take responsibility and make smart choices so that everyone gets home safely,” said Nelson.

“Four key messages will save lives - drive sober, slow down, buckle up and phone down.”

Missouri’s new strategic highway safety plan, Show-Me Zero, provides information and strategies for all Missourians to help promote highway safety. To learn more, visit the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety website at savemolives.com, and follow them on social media at Save MO Lives.

One of the best things going for our community is Gallatin Theater League.

Of course, I’m biased. Gallatin Theater League re-enacted the Trial of Frank James in splendid fashion in 1990 and spearheaded the outdoor production re-enacting the 1869 Frank & Jesse James bank robbery during Chautauqua 2019. Watching these historical scripts come to life were special for me. But the real treat is seeing so many talented friends and neighbors on the Courter Theater stage.

Earlier this week I bumped into Howard Weldon over the lunch hour. Like me, Howard has a few more grey hairs than when we first met but my mind’s view of him will always be him as Lil’ Abner …when he unrolled those long arms at a song’s end, accepting a wild ovation on behalf of the entire cast from an appreciative audience over another outstanding local theater production!

Or, what about Maud ‘n’ Essie …or just about any character Coach Doug Nichols has played (especially “Don’t Rock the Boat” in Guys ‘N Dolls)?

What community organization has created so many memories for such an extended period of time? What special GTL memory do you hold dear?

Seeking tax-free stimulus

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Last year, the federal government passed the CARES Act as a reaction to the Covid outbreak.

One component of the CARES Act was to mail out checks to millions of Americans to try to make up for a loss of income and spur spending that might help businesses. These payments have been referred to as “stimulus checks.”

Since it did not make a lot of sense for the federal government to give citizens money as a gift, and then turn around and take it away in income taxes, the feds made the stimulus checks non-

taxable. In fact, the checks were treated as a tax credit toward your next year’s income taxes.

Missouri’s state law is a bit complicated in this area, and would have imposed state income tax on the stimulus checks.

So, last year we passed a special state law making stimulus checks non-taxable on your state income tax as well.

But that law was only for the CARES Act stimulus checks.

Since then, the feds have sent out two more rounds of stimulus checks. In response, House Budget Chair Rep. Cody Smith has filed HB 991, which would make

those stimulus checks non-taxable as well, allowing citizens to reap their full benefit.

I first heard this bill while serving on the Ways & Means Committee, which deals with tax policy. I spoke in favor of HB 991 on the House floor when it came before the full House, helping to convince fellow legislators to vote for the bill and save constituents some money. HB 991 received a successful first round vote (called the Perfection vote).

Next week, we will give it a second vote (called the Third Read vote). If that is successful, the bill will move to the Senate.

Sheriffs Association: Preserving the right to bear arms Over the past few months the Missouri Sheriffs Association has been accused of standing in the way of the Second Amendment Preservation Act now moving through the legislature in Jefferson City. Our association, comprised of 114 Sheriffs, has even been accused of being against our citizens’ right to bear arms.

This disingenuous and misleading campaign is unjustified and is intended to cause undue alarm for our constituents.

As the elected chief law enforcement officer of their counties, Missouri Sheriffs are unique in law enforcement and have held office since the birth of our state. We answer directly to our constituents and we understand-

bour role as protectors of our law abiding citizens’ rights.

For 200 hundred years, Sheriffs have taken an oath to uphold the laws of our state, and to support and defend the United States and Missouri Constitutions. This includes our citizen’s right to bear arms. Sheriffs will always “stand in the gap” between our law abiding citizens and any intrusion by federal politicians seeking to take away law abiding citizens 2nd Amendment protections.

While SAPA proposes to offer protection from federal politicians who seek to infringe on our law abiding citizens right to bear arms, (Something Missouri Sheriffs respect and understand), it

On April 7 the Daviess County Commission and Sheriff Larry Adams signed Resolution No. 2021-9 which can be viewed on www.daviesscountymo.gov

also offers a layer of protection to dangerous criminals. For example, if a dangerous criminal robs the local bank at gunpoint or a child is kidnapped at gunpoint, Missouri law enforcement could not investigate these matters or offer “material aid” to the FBI in any way. If we do offer support to our federal partners and the suspect is federally prosecuted, we are in violation of SAPA. SAPA then allows anyone to sue the county, the Sheriffs Office, and the individual officer.

‘Shall not be infringed’

by Congressman Sam Graves

“Shall not be infringed” is a critical phrase in the 2nd Amendment. Our right to keep and bear arms is one held dear across North Missouri. Hunting, target shooting, and most importantly, self-defense, are just a few of the reasons why.

When President Biden ran for office, he promised to “defeat the NRA.” To me, it sounded like code for “get rid of guns.” I don’t think going after guns was a campaign platitude. With his track record of actually banning some firearms for a time with the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, it shouldn’t have been a surprise.

Facing pressure to follow through on campaign promises, President Biden announced a slew of executive orders this week to try to dismantle the 2nd Amendment.

Using the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland, the President wants to restrict gun-making

kits and parts, as well as pistol braces. He also wants to provide “model” red flag laws for states to temporarily take guns from folks deemed a danger to themselves.

Most concerning is his nomination of a radical gun control lobbyist to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

David Chipman previously served at ATF and has made it clear that he doesn’t understand why folks think they need to own guns and that the 2nd Amendment means guns should be “well-regulated.” Once again, the rest of his words indicate that his definition of “well-regulated” is probably different than what we think of in North Missouri.

Unfortunately, if the President could go farther than what he’s proposed, he would. That’s the problem. Add a restriction here, toss in a new regulation there, try to pass a few new laws and suddenly the law-abiding citizens have a problem. The

criminals though? They’ll still be committing the same crimes.

Criminals don’t care about laws or executive orders. That’s why it’s called “breaking the law.” The point of the 2nd Amendment is for law-abiding citizens to be able to protect and defend themselves. Against criminals, I might add.

Make no mistake, criminalization of our constitutional rights and confiscation of legally possessed weapons is the ultimate goal here. In the meantime, court challenges will ensue and hopefully we can slow down the impending gun grab.

The common theme running through all of this gun control talk is a dubious interpretation of the Constitution to suit a political belief. While unveiling his executive orders this week, President Biden went so far as to say that the 2nd Amendment isn’t absolute. I don’t know about you, but “shall not be infringed” sounds pretty absolute to me.

The minimum fine is $50,000.00.

We do not believe our constituents will support civil suits brought on because criminals were prosecuted federally.

Missouri law enforcement agencies are required to protect our citizens from dangerous criminals who would do them harm and our citizens know and expect that. Victims of these crimes, along with their families, are too often left behind in our justice system.

Sheriffs repeatedly see offenders granted more protections, programs and services than victims themselves. SAPA offers another unintended layer of protection to these offenders, and would cause a chilling effect on law enforcement’s ability to work together.

Operation LeGend, led by the United States Attorney General’s Office, is an example of how important the cooperation of city, county, state, and federal law enforcement is to the safety of our communities. Because of these efforts, hundreds of dangerous criminals are in jails and federal penitentiaries, instead of on our streets.

We all know criminals do not abide by laws and they certainly do not abide by borders or jurisdictional boundaries. This is why Sheriffs assign deputies to Joint Terrorism Task Forces, DEA and Drug Task Forces, ATF, FBI, ICE and United States Marshals Task Forces. It should be noted these federal agents are also Missouri residents risking their lives to protect our communities as well.

SAPA would make these types of cooperative efforts illegal.

As Sheriffs we understand and believe our law abiding citizens want to be safe in their homes and their communities.

They also want Sheriffs to use every tool in the toolbox to keep

them that way.

The Missouri First Organization, led by Ron Calzone, continues to push the narrative that the leadership of the Missouri Sheriffs’ Association is against your 2nd Amendment rights.

Mr. Calzone takes the position that Missouri law enforcement should not work with federal law enforcement to arrest and convict dangerous criminals.

As a private citizen he has that choice and he bears no responsibility when criminals go free or innocent law abiding citizens are harmed.

Sheriffs and all of law enforcement have an ethical, legal, and moral duty to protect law abiding citizens in every way. We have had numerous discussions with other Missouri law enforcement organizations, senators and representatives who feel the same responsibility.

Missourians can rest assured that your Sheriff will always be there to protect our law-abiding citizens’ constitutional right to bear arms. But we still have to be able to aggressively go after the bad guys. We know our constituents trust us to do both.

Sheriff Scott Munsterman, (Johnson County Sheriff) President, MO Sheriffs Assn.

How Missouri balances its budget

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

We are coming down to the final weeks of the 2021 legislative session, and some of the most important work is still to come. By law, the Missouri General Assembly has only one job, which is to craft the state’s operating budget each year.

The budget always starts in the Missouri House of Representatives. Their Budget Committee hears from not only department directors within state government, but from the general public. From there, the entire Missouri House discusses each of the 13 individual bills that make up the state budget.

Amendments may be added to these measures in the House.

How and when did Gallatin’s only theater get its name?

John Courter and wife, Dollie, owned Gallatin’s only movie theater, bringing entertainment and joy to the community for decades. “Good show! Good show!

Good show!’ was an exuberant response John gave whenever asked about a movie, according to the 1985 Daviess County History.

Gallatin’s Courter Theater opened in 1920, operated by John E. Courter. A 30x120 building was erected on a lot adjoining the adjacent Gallatin Trust Company (purchased in 1919). During its best days, Courter Theater was a cultural hub in the community. In the early years, silent movies were enhanced by toe-tapping piano music.

Later, records were synchronized with the film strip before the revolutionary “talkies” swept the country nationwide and wide screen movies became common.

Thursday nights at Courter Theater typically spotlighted theatrical groups, such as the Hatcher players as well as variety entertainment groups and dance recitals. High school plays and graduation exercises graced the Courter stage. Special movies were often announced for school children. During the polio epidemic, shows were stopped to take up special collections for the March of Dimes. Before World War II, the balcony was divided with half of the space devoted to smokers and the other half used as designated seating for African Americans.

Two movies or more were shown nightly. Sunday matinee shows featured local advertising, serial, comedy, news-reel and a feature. Admission ranged from a dime to 25 cents; Family Night was each Tuesday when an entire family was admitted for a quarter.

Fresh buttered popcorn, sometimes hawked up and down the aisles, cost a nickel a sack. Those disturbing other viewers often found themselves reseated on the back row under the careful scrutiny of the management.

This photo (right) shows Courter Theater before it was remodeled in 1967.

Note the marquee promoting the Western movie “Waco” released in 1966, starring Jane Russell.

A

fter Mr. Courter’s death in 1963, Courter Theater was leased and later purchased by a group of local philanthropic businessmen. The 22-member association of shareowners made repairs (see photo at right) involving exterior, electrical wiring and lighting, auditorium seating, furnace, and new soft drink machine for concessions. The movie screen was relocated, allowing more space for stage entertainment. The last theater operator was John Remodeling Courter Theater occurred in 1967, as this photo Schweiger. Courter Theater continued operations by this non-profit organization until the confirms. Notice the marquee advertising the 1967 movie “El early 1980s. Then, after being dormant for over half a year, Courter Theater featured a new Dorado,” starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchem. series of live performances starting with a free country music performance by the group “Blaze of Glory” in February, 1984. When the future of the theater seemed most uncertain, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thompson of Gallatin stepped forward to purchase the property and transferred ownership to the Gallatin Theater League which owns and operates the facility to this day. Donations and community support, including sell-out attendance at many local performances normally performed each spring and fall, have enabled significant upgrades and improvements repeatedly over recent years, to which founder John Courter most probably would say: “Good show! Good show! Good show!”

Puett-Weston vows exchanged

Douglas Puett and Melissa Weston were united in marriage Feb. 2, 2021, at the First Presbyterian Church in Gardner, KS. Douglas is the son of Patricia Becker Puett, a 1957 graduate of Jameson High School.

The bride was dressed in a beautiful off the shoulder, full length navy blue gown. The groom was handsome in a light grey tux with a navy blue tie. An added special part of the service was their little Chihuahua Madeline dressed in a beautiful dress of pale blue.

The exchange of rings was very special as the groom's ring was sized from his grandfather Dale Puett's golden wedding band.

Guests of the wedding were immediate family only. Parents and family of the bride were Lucille and Jim Weston and their fur baby, Poncho; sister Marcia Breckenridge and husband Ron, and their fur baby Rosie; and the bride's nephew Dylan Hudson and his girlfriend, Christy Garner.

Parents and family of the groom were Patricia (Becker) and Wayne Puett; the groom's sister Tammie and husband Brian Bretz; the groom' s nephew Shane Bretz; and niece Megan Bretz.

Pattonsburg Senior Center

Cindy Hacking of Gallatin has been called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hacking will serve in the California Bakersfield Mission and will be speaking Spanish.

Hacking is the daughter of Mary and Ben Hacking, also of Gallatin. Cindy studied Public Relations and Communications at BYU-Idaho and is a graduate of Gallatin R-5. Cindy has served the community as a volunteer for Chautauqua, Scare on the Square, and Christmas on the Square. She also volunteered her time as a dance instructor for Elite Arts in Gallatin and was the choreographer for Cameron Children’s Theater.

Cindy has planned to serve a mission since she was 14. She wants “…everyone to know how much they mean to God.” “I want them to be able to experience the joy that comes from knowing God and His Son.” Hacking will join 67,000 missionaries worldwide.

Missionaries receive their assignment from church headquarters and are sent only to

countries where governments allow the church to operate.

Missionaries do not request their area of assignment and do not know beforehand whether they will be required to learn a language.

Prior to going to their assigned area, missionaries spend a short period of time training to teach the people they will serve. They learn how to teach the gospel in an orderly and clear way and, if necessary, they begin to learn the language of the people they will be teaching. This training is now handled remotely due to the current pandemic.

Missionary schedules and rules are flexible, depending on the culture of the country where missionaries are serving. But a typical missionary day begins by waking at 6:30 a.m. for personal study. Missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ practice social distancing. Most of their teaching has moved online to comply with CDC guidelines. Additionally, missionaries serve people in the communities where they

Winston trustees set May 1 for ‘big’ cleanup “Big Trash Pickups” have been scheduled in Winston for May 1 and again Nov. 13. Street repair, utility services and financial reports were addressed during the March 8 meeting of the Winston Board of Trustees.

Trustees approved the purchase of 3-inch gravel to be placed at the corner of Grant and Maple streets.

Financial reports detailing deposits and expenses were presented and reviewed along with deposit slips, bills and bank statements. A new list of delinquent utility customers was presented and discussed, including six customers for utility shut-off.

Trustees are seeking bids for park bathroom repairs.

April Wollam reported that Ernie Burns is contracted by Phil Clevenger at this time concerning sewer maintenance.

There were no reports for ordinance enforcement, community events nor any other public comment; the meeting adjourned at 8 p.m.

This report is based on meeting minutes. Those present at the March 8 public meeting were trustees Brenda Goll, Wayne Wollam, Neal Slaughter, Tim Caldwell, and Daniel Michael; others present were Cristan Filley and April Wollam.

are called. Missionaries are allowed to serve people in outdoor projects where they can practice social distancing. Missionaries end their day by 10:30 p.m.

In some parts of the world, missionaries are sent only to serve humanitarian or other specialized missions. Those missionaries do not proselytize.

Missionary work is voluntary. Missionaries fund their own missions — except for their transportation to and from their field of labor — and are not paid for their services.

Toddler rescued; lifesaver recognized There’s a toddler in Livingston County who is very fortunate that Eugene Meyer of Chillicothe decided to go for a drive on Feb. 14, 2021, a very cold day with wind chill around 9 degrees.

Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox recently recognized Meyer for his actions that day.

Meyer happened to be out at about 8:30 a.m. and, for what he describes as unknown reasons, he slowly drove down a rural county road that he seldom ever travels. Meyer noticed a

2-year-old child all alone, very poorly dressed and standing in a ditch. Meyer stopped and found the child was freezing cold and placed the child in his warm vehicle to help protect the toddler.

Meyer took the child to the nearest house and beat on the door with no answer and returned to the pickup and continued attempting to warm the child. Meyer then notified E-911 Dispatchers of the situation. Sgt. Dustin Woelfle and the Chillicothe Department of Emergen-

cy Services arrived and the child was taken to Hedrick Medical Center for evaluation.

Sgt. Woelfle was finally able to locate an adult relative of the child and learned the family had no clue their toddler was missing. Fortunately the child was found to be okay but very cold.

“We believe divine intervention took place that Valentine's Day morning and are both very thankful and appreciative of the life-saving actions taken by Mr. Meyer,” said Sheriff Cox.

Finding marijuana use among drivers tricky for law enforcement State marijuana laws have relaxed in recent years and finding motorists who are driving while impaired can be difficult for law enforcement. Checking motorists for marijuana impairment can be tricky because officers don’t have a chemical test to make use of. “We can still do the standardized field sobriety test,” Sgt. Angle says.

“What we look for is a complete traffic stop, so that starts from the moment they notice the violation.

It’s little things, like the suspect’s

Goat tea party

(continued from Page 1) tending. Carry-in food included scones, lemon custard, cookies, cupcakes, and fancy cracker things, just to name a few menu items. Participants wore fancy hats, scarves, and boas and enjoyed a wonderful tea party outdoors under flowering orchard trees.

Basil the goat hammed it up, pleased to be the center of attention. She prefers black cinnamon tea out of all the tea choices of the day. They also had a storytime of the Three Billy Goats Gruff read by Brooke (The Troll), Braden (Big Billy Goat Gruff), Slade (Middle Sized Billy Goat Gruff), and Eli (Little Billy Goat Gruff).

The last item on this springtime celebration was an egg toss -- with the winner getting a fabulous pair of goat hoof socks!

balance, you know, coordination, slurred speech, physical appearance, whether it be bloodshot eyes, maybe dilated, discolored pupils, things like that.”

Lance Davis, a local defense attorney, is part of a group lobbying for legalized recreational use.

The proposal, which is up for vote next year, includes clearer testing guidelines for law enforcement, Mr. Davis says.

“We need to develop more of a behavioral to determine impairment,” Mr. Davis said. “Which is a little more independent than a simple drug test and also measures a benchmark standard that will be developed of how someone reacts when they’re just finished firing up a joint or if they smoked two days ago or two weeks ago because THC will stay in someone’s system for weeks.”There

is a broad spectrum that has to be accounted for by officers and attorneys alike in terms of what a violation is, Davis said. A person in possession of 10 grams of marijuana while driving can be fined hundreds of dollars but they are allowed nearly 20 times that amount if they have a medical exception.

“When the state patrol stops somebody and they have to deal with such a wide range in terms of quantities, how are they going to handle that,” he said. “So, you’ve got the possession charges that usually come forward, but as we’ve said, there’s very little actual evidence on the actual driving while impaired charges.The fact that chemicals linger so long in the body is why blood tests are not ideal because they can be inaccurate, says Mr. Davis.

COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic at NCMC In partner with the Grundy County Health Department, North Central Missouri College will have the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine available on its campus at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton on Thursday, April 15, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. All students, faculty, staff, and the public are invited.

To make an appointment, contact the Grundy County Health Department at 660-359-

4196 or visit https://grundychd. as.me/schedule.php Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are encouraged. Those getting the vaccination should wear short sleeves and bring an insurance card (if you do not have insurance, you can still receive the vaccine at no cost).

For more information, contact the Grundy County Health Department at 660-359-4196.

Tri-County R-7 approved for a new bus The Jamesport Tri-County R-7 Board of Education approved an increase in the health insurance contribution, increased some extra duty payments, and accepted multiple bids during a public meeting conducted April 8.

The board also approved a summer school program for July 12-23.

Budget amendments with increases for revenue and expenditures were approved. Superintendent David Probasco said revenue was increased by $611,000 due to federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief 2 funds. Expenses were added for capital expenditures, including $90,000 for a new bus and transportation, $15,000 for a maintenance vehicle, and $400,000 for the buildings account.

The board accepted bids for a new bus from Midwest Transit of $88,934, a Ranger with a snow plow system from Extreme Recreation for $13,273.92, and repairing and coating the old gym, stage, and ag shop roofs from Troyer Roofing of $20,286.

Other accepted bids were from Ferman Hostetler for $18,957 to replace windows in the ag shop, Sargent’s Glass Company for $10,787 to replace the west elementary door, and Omaha Stage Equipment for

$13,957.32 to replace stage curtains. Concrete bids were tabled.

Sign, tuck pointing, and playground proposals were discussed.

Salary increases for certified and non-certified staff were discussed by board members, but no action was taken. No announcements were made from an executive session for personnel.

Board members noted that the health insurance contribution was increased from $500 to $525 for 2021-2022 school year.

Recommendations were approved to increase extra duty payments for assistant varsity basketball and softball umpires.

Supt. Probasco reports assistant varsity basketball was raised from $500 to $1,000. Umpires will be paid $80 per game for varsity instead of $40. They will be paid $75 per game for junior high, $100 for a varsity double header, and $10 extra for junior varsity.

The school calendar for 20202021 was amended for Jamesport Tri-County. The last day of school will now be May 14 rather than previously set for May 18.

Tri-County started classes Aug. 11, and the district will have exceeded the required 1,044 hours.

Sports cooperatives were approved with Gallatin for junior high football and varsity spring baseball.

Warrant out for sex offender Terry A. Overturf, 42, Gallatin, was charged April 12 with failure to register as sex offender and forgery in Daviess County Circuit Court. Overturf was convicted of failure to register as sex offender in 2019 in Saline County and has not reported to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office to report address changes or to fix his registration. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, and there is an active warrant for his arrest out of Saline County.

According to the probable cause statement, Overturf failed to provide a valid address verification letter from the Highway Patrol to the sheriff’s department. In addition, on the letter that he provided, a date was altered to make it appear to represent his most recent address verification letter.

During the investigation, it was discovered that Overturf indicated a change of address but actually only resided there for two days before returning to his old address on Mill Street in Gallatin. Residents there indicated that he had been kicked out of the residence a month earlier but still sometimes would sneak in through the basement.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

He has an extensive criminal history including child endangerment, felonious restraint, burglary, stealing, statutory sodomy amended to child endangerment, DWI, and multiple traffic violations.

Della Margaret (Helms) Teel 1940-2021 Our ornery, fun-loving mother, grandmother, cousin and friend, Della Margaret (Helms) Teel, 84, passed away unexpectedly on April 10, 2021.

Della was born in Daviess County, MO, the daughter of Harold and Flora (Stitt) Helms on Jan. 1, 1937. She was named after her maternal grandmother, Della (Gardner) Stitt and paternal grandmother, Margaret Jackson. She grew up in Pattonsburg and attended school at Pattonsburg R-2 School. Her mother owned the popular “Flora’s Beauty Shop” on Main Street and her father, Harold, owned the “Squeeze-In Diner” next door.

Della married early in life to Von Hager in 1954. They later divorced. In 1976 she married Dave Teel and they later divorced.

Della was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority of Pattonsburg and served as den mother in Cub Scout Pack #159 also of Pattonsburg.

Della valued hard work. She was employed at the Pattonsburg Cap Factory for 11 years before starting a 31-year career at GM Motor Company in Fairfax, KS, where she made many friends and stories to tell before retiring at the age of 70.

She loved laughing, driving fast, and being stubborn. She enjoyed throwing large holiday dinners for her family, watching westerns, and listening to Elvis. In her younger years, she enjoyed water skiing and dancing to live music, but she continued to enjoy dining out, over-sized Christmas trees, and being around good people. She was feisty and opinionated, and she is going to be fiercely missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; an infant brother, and her grand-dog, Buddy.

Della is survived by her children, Cyndi (Ron) Hulet, Pattonsburg, Randy (Ruth) Hager, Chillicothe, Jackie O’Reilly, Kansas City, Daven Teel (Cole Offutt), Pattonsburg, and bonus daughter, Darbie Valenti Huff, Savannah; eight grandchildren, Amber Hulet, Cameron, Aaron “Willie” (LeAnna) Hulet, Kearney, Ryan Hager, Overland Park, KS, Nick (Becky) Hager, Kansas City, Alex (Margaret) Hager, Ballwin, Courtney O’Reilly (Josh Kateman) Kansas City, Brittany O’Reilly, Kansas City, Whitney O’Reilly (Michael Syaks), CA and grand pup, Blue; seven great-grandchildren, Taylor (Bret) Hangley, Henry Hulet, Shelby Hulet, Audrey Hager, Austin Hager, Frankie Hager, Calloway Hager, Bryce O’Reilly and one great-great granddaughter, Ava Hangley.

Funeral Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 17 at the United Methodist Church, Pattonsburg, under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Pattonsburg. Burial will follow in Civil Bend Christian Cemetery, Pattonsburg. The family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. Friday at Roberson Funeral Home, Pattonsburg, MO. Memorials may be made to the Civil Bend Christian Cemetery and/or Pattonsburg United Methodist Church in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 152, Pattonsburg, MO 64670. Online condolences may be left at www.robersonfuneralhome.com

Much of the book of Isaiah is devoted to Lord declaring His living majesty as contrasted against the dead worthlessness of man-made gods.

Isaiah 44:6 begins as eighteen other places in Isaiah begin, with “Thus says LORD”. The covenant God of Israel has no worthy rivals or competitors. The false worship of false gods, in Isaiah's day and ours, is foolish from beginning to end and will ultimately lead to misery, death, and destruction. The first five verses of Isaiah 44 also contain “Thus says LORD”. Those verses are a call for His people to not fear because He is faithful and will redeem them, which will result in their response of gladness to named as belonging to Him. Isaiah 44:6-8 begins a long passage that lasts through the end of the next chapter, “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. 7 'Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. 8 'Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.'" (NASU) The Lord had shown tremendous patient longsuffering in enduring the unfaithfulness of His specially created nation. Rather than being different from the surrounding nations in order to lead them to LORD, they had instead followed after the darkness they were supposed to eliminate by shining the light of LORD. That is heartbreaking behavior deserving of at the least stern discipline, but it seems here that God is simply going to warn them again. He declared in no uncertain terms that He alone is first and last. No other can even retell history accurately and in order. No other can correctly predict the future. No other is their solid foundation providing deliverance and continuing safety.

Isaiah 44:9-11 declares the folly of idolatry, Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame. 10 Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no profit? 11 Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let them all assemble themselves, let them stand up, let them tremble, let them together be put to shame. (NASU) Worshiping comfort, self, health, wealth, or any other idol is futile, of no profit, ignorant, shameful, and results in fear. If you have turned anything whatsoever into an idol, God invites you to come before Him and state your case as to why your idol is beneficial to you and worthy of your reverence and worship. God also warns that if you do, you had better do it with trembling, while preparing to be put to shame.

It seems that man currently is aimed squarely at worshiping personal autonomy. That seems to be the current god of choice. That god is false and worshiping it will produce tragic results. One who worships personal choice will necessarily ignore and ultimately despise the one true God, the God of the Bible.

Terror and shame will be the final result.
