An update on training was given by Deputy Director Tim Carder. The jail will be implementing an on-the-job training program to be completed after the 40-hour basic training. The

new detention officers will be required to successfully complete tasks during this period, with the direct supervisor signing off on completed tasks. Mr. Carder reported that the jail is down four to five officers at this time. The last van is being repaired at this time and should be back in service in the next week or two. A proposed budget for next year is being reviewed. The Missouri Department of Health completed a kitchen inspection Sept. 21, giving the kitchen a positive inspection report.

Jail raises rates; kitchen review positive The Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Board voted at its Sept. 28 meeting to increase its daily housing rate to $45 for all agencies effective Jan. 1, 2019, or upon the renewal of contracts. The per diem housing rate for the jail was about $28 when it first opened in 2006. The rate increased to $37.50 in 2016. As hosts of the jail, Daviess and DeKalb do not pay to house their inmates; however, detainees are required to pay their own board bill. Currently there are approximately four counties and four municipalities that are housing detainees at the facility. Along with the housing rate, a half-cent sales tax is also used to

Using laughter to cope, connect by T.L. Huﬀman, staﬀ writer

Since Richie King was a teenager growing up in Jamesport, he’s gotten a kick out of making people laugh. Now, as a disabled veteran who considers himself a professional comedian, he’s hoping to save lives by being funny. As a member of Comedy Vets, Richie will be appearing at Cameron at The Old School (116 West 4th Street) on Friday, Oct. 26. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Ticket proceeds go to support Veteran Suicide Prevention Programs. “Thirty-five veterans a day commit suicide,” Richie says. “That’s an astonishing number. By the end of the year, that’s over 12,000 people. Imagine the population of Chillicothe, just wiped out. We want to get rid of that terrible number.” Richie wants to see the number of veterans suicides diminish to zero; instead, suicides are on the increase. A recent Veterans

“ I f you’re laughing, then you ain’t crying...” — Richie King Administration study reports that 22 veterans enrolled in VA programs commit suicide each day. When adding vets not enrolled in VA, the rate is closer to 35 veteran suicides per day.

Editor’s note: The following is by Troy Lesan, a regular contributing writer for the L ake V iking N ew s, with information contributed by Lake V iking residents Mark and Missy Leggett.

The Hughes Fieldhouse, the largest public-private partnership in the 113-year history of Northwest Missouri State University and destined to become a showcase fixture of the campus, was unveiled in a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony at Maryville on Oct. 12. Construction of the impressive $21 million facility was realized due to a $14 million donation from a team of 50 donors headed by the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Family Foundation. Carl and Cheryl are Lake Viking Asso-

ciation members; their house is one of the largest on the lake and greatly contributes to the aesthetic beauty of the area. Of their big contribution to their alma mater resulting in the Hughes Fieldhouse, Carl Hughes says: “You get behind something you believe in. I hope this building gets worn out and I expect that competition will be keen to have access. I expect the completion of this building will further enhance Northwest’s strategic mission and that the building will be utilized by countless students and organizations within Northwest and the community.” The Hughes Fieldhouse will host a variety of university and community activities year-round. Northwest club sports

and student organizations, from Greek fraternities and sororities to the Bearcat Marching Band, will actively use the facility. All Bearcat athletic teams will benefit from being able to practice inside the facility during their off seasons or inclement weather. The facility will also host intercollegiate and high-school track meets, community fund-raisers, exhibitions, trade shows, business gatherings, concerts, and special events. The Hughes Fieldhouse is 137,250 square feet under roof which is equal to 2.15 football fields or 2.84 acres. It includes a 90-yard practice turf and 300-meter track. It is projected to have an economic

impact of $23.8 million which is the equivalent of 946 new jobs. The fieldhouse culminates an involvement with NWMSU that began when Cheryl Deweerdt Hughes (NWMSU ’78) was a Bearcat cheerleader and member of the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, while Carl (NWMSU ’76) was a Bearcat football player and member of the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity. The dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony was followed by a Bearcat Tailgate Zone that featured tours of the fieldhouse, live music, and interaction between youth and Northwest student athletes. The events marked an exciting occasion for the NWMSU family.

What about judges up for retention? I don’t know about you, but I never have any selfconfidence when casting my vote on the matter of retaining judges. Come Nov. 6, we will cast votes on two judges serving on the Supreme Court in Missouri and also on one judge serving in the Western District Court of Appeals. How in the world did we ever get to the point where anyone would care about my opinion on things I know nothing about? Well, blame “Boss Tom” Pendergast. In the 1940s voters were so fed up with the state’s judicial system that Missouri’s constitution was changed to create what is known as the Missouri Plan. The idea was to take the politics out of the judicial branch. And the plan has been used here as well as in 34 other states ever since. The following is provided by the Missouri Bar Association, information available on its website: YourMissouriJudges.org by arryl I find it interesting that the Court of Appeals Judge whose name will appear on Daviess County ballots does not merit unanimous endorsement. There is no intent here to sway your vote one way or another, rather I choose to devote my remaining space here to present the following for your consideration.

The Missouri Judicial Performance Review Committee has provided Missouri voters with their performance findings for 59 nonpartisan judges who will be up for retention in the Nov. 6 general election. All Missouri voters will have at least three judges appear in retention elections on their ballot this November. “We want to make sure the people of Missouri have good judges who are fair, impartial and skilled,” said Dale Doerhoff, chair of the statewide committee. “Our independent committee provides voters with extensive, objective information about the performance of our judges up for retention to help them make informed decisions about our judges.” The committee reviewed the performance of 59 judges including two Supreme Court of Missouri judges, four Court of Appeals judges, 31 circuit court judges and 22 associate circuit court judges in circuits where the judges are appointed under the Missouri Non-Partisan Court Plan. Of the 59 judges, a majority of the committee voted one judge does not substantially meet overall judicial performance standards. O n ballots in Davi ess Cou nty . . .

Supreme Court of Missouri:

Missouri Court of Appeals:

E d w a r d R . A r d in i J r. co mittee members voted that Judge Ardini substantially meets overall icial per or ance an ar committee members voted Judge Ardini does not meet overall j udicial performance standards.

Doerhoff said visitors to the website “will see the lawyer surveys, juror surveys of trial judges, and written opinions from the judges the committee used in casting their votes.” Brochures with the findings will be available at libraries, courthouses and senior centers across the state. Missouri voters may also request one be mailed to them for free by calling 573-635-4128. The committee considers a variety of information about each judge, including lawyers’ ratings of judges, jurors’ ratings of some trial judges and written opinions from judges. Jurors were asked a series of 10 questions about the judge’s courtroom conduct. For instance: Did the judge clearly explain the legal issues of the case? Did the judge appear to be free from bias? Did the judge appear to be well-prepared for the case? The lawyers’ survey focused on key traits that judges need to il inson render justice effectively and fairly. Circuit and associate circuit judges were rated in 19 areas, including a wide range of observable skills and traits, such as treating people fairly, competency in the law and writing opinions. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges were rated on a different set of criteria as they decide cases that are appealed because of possible legal errors, either procedural or through misinterpretations of the law. These judges were rated on areas such as whether their opinions were clearly written, whether they adequately explained the basis of the court’s decision and whether they issued opinions in a timely manner. For all judges, lawyers’ surveys were converted into a numerical score between 1 and 5, with 1 being the poorest and 5 being the best. “These extensive reviews help Missouri voters determine whether or not the judges up for retention are meeting the expectations of the public and lawyers,” said Doerhoff. Doerhoff said the committee’s work is important because it helps make sure the people of Missouri have good judges who substantially meet overall judicial performance standards. He added that the performance reviews have had a positive impact on the number of people who vote in retention elections. “The committee’s work to educate voters about the performance of our judges has led to increased voter participation in judicial retention elections since 2008 because when voters feel more informed, they are more likely to vote.” Missouri uses a constitutional merit system known as the Missouri Non-Partisan Court Plan to select its appellate judges and trial-level judges in the City of St. Louis and Clay, Greene, Jackson, Platte and St. Louis counties. In other parts of the state, trial-level judges seek election in partisan races. Before becoming a judge, all nonpartisan judges are screened by a nominating commission whose members include lawyers, non-lawyers and a judge. The commission selects the three best candidates and forwards their names to the governor, who chooses one candidate to fill the position. After their first year on the bench and again at the end of each term, nonpartisan judges must run in retention elections. In retention elections the ballot reads: “Shall Judge X be retained?” To be retained, each merit-selected judge must receive a simple majority.

To my Poosey friends, I think that perhaps my cover has been blown by now, but to clear up any confusion I must admit that I’m not who I say I am. My mother’s name was Freida Marie Bradbury and, with her permission, I stole a portion of her name when I began writing my newspaper column entitled “Coonridge Digest” some 35 years ago. Mom didn’t mind except when a store clerk would question her signature on a check, asking if she’d stolen the name from that lady who writes the paper. In any case, it’s been my joy to send my thoughts recast as “Poosey Digest” your direction for these many years. As you may or may not be aware, I was visited by cancer last year... cancer of the esophagus. Nine months of surgery, chemo and radiation later, we seem to have whipped it. But recent tests have brought me the ugly news that the cancer has popped up, this time in my hip. The lineup this inning is surgery to reinforce the hip, then radiation, then chemo for the hip and a couple other spots. I write to simply send greetings and thanks. If I were to ever fall down in my prayer life, I’d never hit the ground for I’d be surrounded by so many friends there’d be no room for me to plop. I’m quite serious about that. No man could be so blessed. So, I write to thank you for your prayers. Last year’s cancer had a 20% survival rate and I survived. As to this year’s battle, I’ve stopped looking at odds. God never figures into odds. I have little idea when I will be able to start writing new material but I hope that day comes. Freida Marie gives me joy as well. We don’t always agree, but we enjoy each other’s company. I will be sharing my journey on a site called Caring Bridge if anyone cares to follow, at https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kenbradbury. Okay... enough of that. God is good, I’m just confused. Thanks for holding my hand. Ken Bradbury aka Freida Marie E d i t o r ’ s n o t e : We have been blessed to feature Ken Bradbury’s column for the past 17+ years in this newspaper. He graciously allowed us to rename he col n a he oo e i e hich e ho h o in a col n penned by an I llinois man using a woman’s pseudonym as if written from a myth ical community in northeast Daviess County. Although certainly now facing dis couragement and even confronting depression, Ken’s wit and outlook on life are still evident in this j ournal post, reprinted here with his permission.

Journal entry -- Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018 I don’t blame the lady for being confused. “Okay,” she said. “When you get out of the hospital do you have someone who can take care of you?” I said that I did. “So you don’t live alone?” “No, I do live alone.” “But I mean full-time care of some sort.” “So do I.” She just didn’t get it. She didn’t get the fact that I was about to be driven home by my brother where a lady was making a house call that afternoon to give me a haircut in my living room, and yesterday a guy came over to haul my trash bins to the road and back, and just after he left a friend brought me supper while the week before two different folks stopped by to do some gardening work even though I had time because someone else had already stopped by to see what groceries I needed. The physician’s assistant didn’t have room to write all that in the tiny box they’d allotted her anyway. Bottom line: I continue to be so very blessed. Yes, there’s danger that I’ll run folks like my brother and a lady down the street ragged, but so far no one’s threatened to quit. And I suppose that immediately following the surgery I may have to find alternate housing or something for a while... perhaps an abandoned Motel 6. I don’t know. But until then God has once again shown me how such blessing can come from such an ugly diagnosis. Indeed (if you’re old enough to remember) ...silk purses from sow’s ears. I once led a group through the Orthodox churches of Moscow where the priests claimed to have absolute proof of God’s presence in the icons lining their walls. Then our guide through the Vatican told us that God spoke directly through Michelangelo. Every other church in Italy claims to have a holy relic... Mary’s sandal, St. Luke’s fingernail, Eve’s grocery list. It’s not my job to judge those claims, but I told the physician’s assistant that I had proof positive of God’s love in the clippings of gray hair on my floor, the soup bowl in my sink, the newly tended flowers outside my door, and a wrinkled crayon drawing on my fridge with the scrawl, “Our class is praying for you, Mr. Bradbury.” “Do you live alone, Kenneth?” “No.”

Partisanship in Missouri’s legislature Earlier this year, I had a friendly debate with Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard, R-Joplin. In his final months in Missouri’s General Assembly, we were reminiscing about his history as the state’s only House speaker to become the Senate’s top leader. I remarked that Missouri’s Senate had become a more partisan body from decades earlier. Richard disagreed. He cited the friendships among members between both parties. He’s got a point. I’ve not heard the number of deep personal hostilities that I covered in the early 2000s after Senate Democrats elected a highly partisan advocate who continually filibustered Senate Republicans. But our discussion led me to look at the party divide on the major roll calls I’ve been recording since 1995. It’s the state’s oldest online record of legislative votes. I recorded only the votes I judged to be major issues before the legislature. The data reveals a growing party divide on substantive roll calls in both chambers. For example, in the mid 1990s, only one quarter of major Senate roll calls reflected partyline votes. But in the last three years, it’s been more than half. Further, the degree of party conformity also has grown. In

both parties, there are fewer members who vote opposite from the majority of their party colleagues.

Capitol Perspectives hi roo s For this column, I defined party-line votes as those for which at least two thirds of one party’s members voted the opposite of at least two thirds of the other party. But you don’t need raw statistics to demonstrate the growing partisanship. It’s obvious the Republican and Democratic caucuses have become increasingly ideologically rigid when you listen to legislative debates or look at what the majority party allows to pass. When I began covering the legislature, there was not such a party divide. Some Democratic senators were as conservative as their Republican colleagues. The Republican caucus had a few moderates who fought parts of the Republican conservative agenda. I’ve often wondered whether the growing ideological party purity is a reflection of the geo-

graphic purity of party members. Unlike decades ago, there are few Democratic legislators from rural, conservative Missouri. It once led me to joke with a Senate Democratic leader that her party caucus had become the “I-70 Democrats” because every Democratic senator lived in the metro areas served by Interstate 70. Regardless of the cause, this party rigidity has a profound effect on the legislative process. To a degree unimaginable just a few decades ago, party caucuses regularly hold closed-door meetings to adopt the party’s line on issues before the legislature. Democrats rarely get to sponsor the legislature’s priority bills. That’s quite different from more than half a century ago when a large motor-fuel tax increase for highways that passed a Democrat-controlled legislature was named after the House GOP leader, R.J. Bus King. Yet, I think Ron Richard had a point. Cross-party friendships do remain. There are fewer mean-spirited chamber debates between parties than I heard in prior years. But I’m not sure that’s entirely a good sign. More than once I’ve heard a legislator confess to me that passionate debate is futile because of the pressures for party loyalty.

Our readers share...

Dear Editor, I recently received this from one of my West Point classmates. I had heard part of the same tale when visiting Pearl Harbor about five years ago so I believe it is probably true.

Why speak out with passion when you know it will not change the votes of your colleagues across the aisle or could cost you in your own caucus? That, however, is not the government envisioned by some of the founders of our country who perceived a system independent of party. My thoughts for this column were crystallized when I heard Sen. Joe Lieberman at John McCain’s memorial service describing the late Arizona senator’s frustration with “the mindless

partisanship that has taken control of both parties.” I wonder, if in Missouri, that will change in 2019, when our legislature will have a new team of legislative leaders who could change the culture.

Marijuana times 3! b y S ta te R e p . J . E g g le s to n

This is my sixth report on the upcoming November ballot measures, and this one is on the three ballot measures relating to marijuana: Amendment 2, Amendment 3, and Proposition C. All three measures attempt to legalize medical marijuana in Missouri for the treatment of various diseases, but each goes about it in a different way. Amendment 2 would impose a 4% sales tax earmarked for veterans’ health care. If the tax generates more money than what is needed, that money would sit in the account created by the act and could not be used for roads, corrections, or any other state needs. However, money currently being spent on veterans’ health care could be shifted to other priorities, possibly resulting in no additional money going to veterans at all. The backer of this measure is an outfit called New Approach Missouri who has poured over $1.3 million into getting it passed. This group is an offshoot of New Approach PAC, a national marijuana legalization effort out of Washington DC. One of the more well-known Missouri contributors is St. Louis’ Adolphus Busch, as in Anheiser-Busch. Voters will see a very short summary of Amendment 2 on the ballot, but the actual language added to our constitution would be 13 pages long. Amendment 3 would impose a 15% sales tax earmarked primarily for biomedical research. The group behind this measure is Find The Cures, which is actually just one man – Springfield lawyer/doctor Brad Bradshaw, who has spent about $1.8 million on the measure. The actual language added to our constitution for Amendment 3 would be 20 pages long, again not fully spelled out on the ballot. One notable criticism of the language is that it essentially creates an oversight job in government like a marijuana czar, and the only person who fits the listed qualifications for the job is …Brad Bradshaw. Bradshaw recently sued to have the other two measures removed from the ballot, but failed. Proposition C would impose a 2% sales tax earmarked primarily for veterans causes and pre-schools. The group behind this measure is called Missourians for Patient Care, which has spent about $1.4 million to get it passed. Tracing the donors behind Missourians for Patient Care has proven challenging. The campaign committee is funded by a non-profit of the same name, who is funded by a front corporation, who is funded primarily by St. Louis millionaire Rex Sinquefield. Prop C would make a law, as opposed to altering our constitution, but that law would be 49 pages long, once again not spelled out on the ballot. Each of the measures’ proponent groups claim to want to help ease the symptoms of those afflicted with various diseases, including cancer, epilepsy, AIDS, glaucoma, terminal illnesses, and more. And they want to use the sales tax money generated from the marijuana sales to fund help for beloved groups of citizens like our veterans. This would likely replace, not increase, most of the funding that is already appropriated for these groups. But there are critics of these measures that claim they will do more harm than good. One criticism is that medical marijuana does not cure any disease, but rather just gets the user so high that they don’t notice their symptoms. Contrary to marijuana, CBD oil (cannabildiol), which is also a cannabis based medication, can treat the same diseases mentioned in the ballot measures, and does not produce the psychoactive high of marijuana. With the availability of CBD oil, critics say there would not be a need to legalize medical marijuana. A second concern is that the marijuana intended for pain relief will be over-prescribed, stolen, or fraudulently obtained, and then used in illegal ways. This is what happened with opioids which were also designed for pain relief, but then became a societal problem with their widespread abuse and misuse. Law enforcement groups have been opposed to legalizing medical marijuana because other states that have done so have seen an increase in illegal drug use, petty crime, and general societal decay. But the biggest concern may be the ulterior motives of the measures’ proponents and where this might lead. Eight states have legalized full-blown recreational marijuana, and all of them started with just medical marijuana. There can be big money in being a pot supplier. It may be that the forces behind these measures have the kindest of intentions at heart. Then again, they may be trying to position themselves for a big financial payoff down the road.

Voters opposed to medical marijuana have an easy choice – vote “No” on all three measures. Voters who are OK with medical marijuana will have to figure out which of the measures they want to vote for and then vote No on the other two. If Prop C is the only measure that passes, it will become law. If only one of the amendments passes, it will be enacted since constitutional amendments trump propositions. If both amendments pass, the one with the most votes will be enacted, although they will likely get tied up in the courts to sort that out. And if none of them pass, life will stay as it is. All of that will be up to the voters on Nov. 6.

Give blood Nov. 5 at Winston School Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Daviess County includes one scheduled from 2-6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 5 at the Winston R-6 School, 200 West Third Street. As influenza activity picks up, the American Red Cross is urging healthy donors of all blood types to give blood or platelets to ensure a strong blood supply for patients in need. Blood and platelets can only be given by donors who are feeling well. One way to maintain health is to get a flu vaccine each fall. There is no waiting period to give blood or platelets after receiving a flu shot as long as the donor is symptom-free and fever-free. Stay healthy this flu season and make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are needed this fall after hurricanes Michael and Florence forced the cancellation of about 200 blood drives, causing approximately 7,000 units of blood and platelets to go uncollected.

Good year to view rare birds, ‘Big Event’ record broken for species count Brad Jacobs, a retired state ornithologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation, has broken the Missouri state record for seeing the most birds in one year during the week of Sept. 17-23 during his Big Year event. A “Big Year” is a competition among birders to see and/or hear the most birds in a single year, explained Dan McCann of Gallatin, a member of Grand River Audubon out of Chillicothe. A Big Year is based on an honor system. Mr. Jacobs is expected to share his information, the name of the bird and location, even with his competitors. Mr. Jacobs broke a 19-yearold record, set in 1991 by Tim Barksdale. The record was 314 birds. Mr. Jacobs has seen 316 birds since Oct. 20 and still has to the end of the year to count. He hopes to see another 15 species of birds, around 330. “It should be noted that in 1991 when Mr. Barksdale was counting birds, there was no internet or cell phones or text messaging like we have today,” says Mr. McCann. “That may be one reason Mr. Jacobs has seen more birds.” This has been a good year to see rare birds in Missouri, he added. The recent Atlantic hurricanes have thrown the birds off course. For instance, Swan Lake has had three rare birds show up this year, a wood stork, common in Florida, a pomarine jaeger, and a red phalarope. From 1987 until his retirement Mr. Jacobs has been a wildlife ecologist/ornithologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation. He works on all bird species, conducts training

Six earn GRC & District softball honors Gallatin landed six players on either the All-Grand River Conference East Division or Class 1, District 12 honor squads. They are, front row: Essie Williamson and Caragan Baker; back row from left: Addison Burns, Kelsey Maxwell, Karley Salmon and Madalyn Shubert.

Gridiron Bulldogs eye rematch vs Princeton in D8 quarterfinals 6-1 mark in GRC best since 2007 Once again the Gallatin Bulldogs have outfoxed football prognosticators who had them picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Grand River Conference. Gallatin dominated Putnam County last Friday night, winning the battle on both sides of the ball. The Bulldogs’ 42-0 victory nailed down sole possession of second place (6-1) in conference standings, with their only blemish a 10-point, mud-caked loss to Milan. Gallatin’s seven regular season victories are the most by a Bulldog team since 2007. Gallatin will host Princeton for the second time in three weeks on Friday in the opening round of Class 1, District 8 action. If they win that contest, the Bulldogs will advance to the district semifinals, likely at Marceline, which hosts Maysville in the first round. The Bulldogs turned back the Tigers, 17-7, two weeks ago but only led, 7-0, at half time. The Bulldogs took advantage of three interceptions in that contest.

Gallatin can likely expect the Tigers to air the ball out again after being held to 22 yards rushing on a wet field. PHS quarterback Camden Hartley completed half his 34 pass attempts for 191 yards and a touchdown. Two interceptions (Ayden Wayne, Drayton Harris), two fumble recoveries (Ross Critten, Tom Crouse) and a pair of quarterback sacks (Crouse, Thomas King) kept the Midget offense off balance in Friday’s lopsided game. Putnam County mustered only 48 yards on the ground and 10 in the air … not a formula for success. Graydee Rains ran for 126 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bulldog offense. Haden Bradford rushed for 64 yards and a TD and was on the receiving end of a 72-yard scoring pass from Aidan Adkison, who scored the game’s final touchdown on a 9-yard run. Crouse spearheaded the GHS defense with nine solo tackles and five assists.

Homecoming at Mizzou is something to see. Between the parade, the decorations on campus and all over town, and the most robust tailgating scene of the season, the school that invented Homecoming is pretty good at celebrating it. The Tigers’ performance on Saturday was fitting of the big day, as Missouri rolled to a 65-33 win over Memphis. After Missouri (4-3, 0-3 in SEC) jumped to a 21-0 lead on a punt block and a defensive touchdown, Memphis (4-4) chipped away to close the gap to 21-17. After Memphis then forced a fourth down on the next Missouri drive, the momentum seemed to be fully against the black-and-gold Tigers. But Coach Barry Odom, showing good feel for his team and the situation in the game, made a decision to go for it on 4th-and-1. The Tigers converted on a pass from Drew Lock to Jonathan Johnson, which was immediately followed by the best possible stretch of football you can get. The next three plays from scrimmage went: Missouri touchdown, Memphis turnover, Missouri touchdown. The Tigers again had a comfortable lead, and rolled from there. Missouri did catch a break when Memphis running back Darrell Henderson, who entered the game as the nation’s leading rusher, left the game early on with an injury. But it was still an impressive performance for Missouri against a decent Memphis team. Drew Lock had a great bounce-back game, completing 23 of 29 passes for 350 yards and four touchdowns despite gusts of wind that felt like what you’d expect on the upper slopes of Mt. Everest. Larry Rountree ran for 118 yards on just nine carries, and big tight end Albert Okwuegbunam had a huge day, with six catches for a whopping 159 yards and three touchdowns. Memphis is not known for their defense, but it was good to get back on track after a three-game losing streak. Next up the Tigers host Kentucky on Saturday (3 p.m. on SEC Network). The No. 12 Wildcats (6-1, 4-1 in SEC) have been one the SEC surprises of the season, contending for the SEC East title. They’re the kind of team that’s fun to root for. The defensive line knows how to dig in. Running back Benny Snell is one of the best in the SEC, and he seems to be a genuinely funny and joyful person as well. Quarterback Terry Wilson is not an elite passer, but he finds ways to make plays and can run the ball if things break down. Kentucky will be a challenge for the Tigers, who haven’t beaten the Wildcats since 2014. But it’s a great opportunity for Odom and his team to secure a quality win, the kind of win that gives programs momentum. But a loss would drop Missouri to 4-4, including 0-4 in SEC games, with a tough trip to Florida coming up. Missouri actually began the week as a slight favorite in the game, but Kentucky will be a tough test.

Bulldog JV squad posts strong 6-1 Gallatin’s junior varsity Bulldogs finished strong with a 20-14 victory over Putnam County on Monday. The JV Bulldogs ended their season 6-1 overall and 4-0 in full games. Gallatin’s only jayvee loss came to Princeton, 13-0, in one half of play. The Midgets scored first but a Landon Corwin strip and score covering 90 yards pulled the Bulldogs to within 8-6 going into half time. Tristen Gibson scored a punt return touchdown for Gallatin to open the second half and Brinley Vandiver ran in for the two-point conversion Putnam County tied the score on a long run in the third period. Facing fourth and goal from the 14 yard line, Vandiver connected with Corwin for the game-winning touchdown. Corwin and Jagger Gray paced the Bulldog defense. Gibson finished with a pair of interceptions. For the season, Vandiver tossed 9 touchdown passes against only 2 interceptions. Gray led the team in rushing and JJ Waters led in receiving. Gray and sophomore Jacob Maize led the team in tackles.

FFA Week observed at R-5

Gallatin FFA members came together October 16-19 to celebrate the FFA Organization and to spread the message of agriculture to the community through FFA Week activities. Last February’s winter weather put traditional celebrations on hold. To beat the winter woes members hosted events last week. On Tuesday members challenged students and staff within the district to a canned food drive. Anyone bringing in two canned food items or two non-perishable food items could wear a hat during the school day; the event was extremely successful with over 200 canned items being donated. On Wednesday, FFA Officers took the sixth grade class to tour Shatto Dairy. This tour helped educate young people about the origins of their dairy products and gave them hands-on experiences with dairy cattle. FFA members also wore their flannel shirts that day.

Thursday was the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. Officers got up early to cook for teachers and staff within the R-5 District. Friday was an educational day for students throughout the district whenever FFA members hosted Barnyard Day, Food for America, Farm Safety, and Conservation Talks. FFA members brought in pigs, cattle, herding dog puppies, and other farm animals. Terry Implement provided a tractor for the tractor safety portion of the tour; chainsaw safety was also presented. Alan Bradford from the Missouri Department of Conservation talked about firearm safety. The farm display was set up and students could see a variety of production agriculture settings. Food for America educated students about the origins of food products found on a typical sub sandwich and about dairy food production.

City purchases crimper with grant money; new solutions for water plant Jeff Arp with MIRMA (Missouri Municipal Trust) presented a 75% cost grant award for $1,396.52 to Mayor Barb Ballew for the purchase of an electric crimper. An electrical crimp is a type of solderless electrical connection. The Police Department provided a traffic report of the speed limits by drivers on West Grand. Discussion was held on changing the speed limit for both directions on West Grand. Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that Utility Service performed its biennial water tower washout inspection on Oct. 16. Everything went fine and the city didn’t experience any pressure issues. The new water plant did a nice job maintaining pressure. Crews started draining the water tower at 6 a.m. and started filling the tower back up at 11 a.m. Street crews have been busy using the new crack seal equipment to fill cracks throughout town when the weather permits. Mr. Morey stated they are now using a new chemical supplier out of Iowa for the water plant. The new supplier has been performing testing at the water plant several times a week. Operators are trying to find the right chemical and mechanical combination to keep the clarifiers operating correctly. The biggest issue has been getting the sludge blanket built up and maintaining it in the clarifiers. Ross Construction was at the plant last week replacing and filling mortar between the bricks. A sealer was then sprayed on the bricks and needs to be resprayed every five years. Snyder & Associates will be at the plant

next week to test the moisture in the walls and sheetrock. Bills in the amount of $43,193.96 were approved for payment. The following items were deferred by the board until they consult with the city attorney: Ross Construction Pay App #16; Engineer/Consultant’s Certification; Public Drinking Water Construction Statement of Work Completed. Auditor proposal for 2018-2020 from John Gillum was accepted. Certificate of Deposit (CD) Rates from Farmers Bank & BTC Bank were discussed. The board moved to purchase two CDs for $350,000 each at Farmers Bank at their special CD rate of 2.11%2.13% APY for 14 months. (Lockridge abstained from the vote.) Joe Jump’s liquor license request to serve by the drink including Sunday sales at 200 Park Street was approved. The following residents were nominated and accepted to the Park Board: Penny Gardner, Greg Ball and Nathan Curtis. The 2019 Budget discussion included the following: replacing the Dodge Dakota, mower, and skid loader; purchasing a new dump truck; roof repairs on the electric barn; replacing cables on the blue bucket truck. Discussion will continue at the next meeting. The above are unapproved minutes. Present were Mayor Barb Ballew, President of Board John Whitfield, Aldermen Carol Walker, Dan Lockridge, Steve Evans; City Administrator Tony Stonecypher; City Clerk Hattie Bailey; Public Works Director Mark Morey; Jeff Arp with MIRMA.

How sweet it is…what’s your favorite Halloween candy? Missouri … Home of the Blues … Gateway to the West.... Missouri is a no nonsense type of place. A Milky Way bar on Halloween is no joke. It’s still the most popular Halloween candy in the state, according to research done by CandyStore.com. Double Bubble came in second as the most popular candy in Missouri. Almond Joy jumped into the third spot over last year’s Butterfinger. This year, it is expected that $2.6 billion will be spent on trickor-treat candy, according to Clair Robins, content strategist at CandyStore.com. CandyStore gathered 11 years of data (2007-2017) and made an interactive map of 2018’s Most Popular Halloween Candy in America by state to help consumers choose wisely. Visit https://www.candystore.com/blog/facts-trivia/halloween-candy-map-popular/ for more statistics and information.

This year, the National Retail Federation is estimating that shoppers will spend $2.6 billion on Halloween candy. H a l l ow e e n C a n d y Q u i ck F a cts : 179 million Americans celebrate Halloween. Nearly one-fourth of all Halloween purchases are made online. Among those who celebrate Halloween, 95% will purchase candy. Consumers will spend about $27 on average. In Oregon, full-sized candy bars are the norm for trick-ortreaters to receive. Over 50% of parents stash some Halloween candy to enjoy later in the year. H ow m a n y l i ck s ? Did you know Hershey’s produces enough Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in one year to feed one to every person in the USA, Japan, Europe, Australia, China, Africa and India? Or that Purdue University used a robotic licking

u s rom om

machine to determine that, on average, it takes 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? Well, now you know! G e t i t w h i l e i t’ s h ot Sales of spicy and hot flavored candy were up 16% in 2017 and 25% in the past 52 weeks. Even the makers of Red Hots and other already hot candies are offering new, multiculturallyinfluenced spicy flavors. Kick’n Mango Lime Red Hots, anyone? C h r i s tm a s s ta r The 1904 World’s Fair gave birth to many treats that we still enjoy today. Cotton candy, anyone? What about waffle cones and ice tea. A modern day holidays staple in Missouri is Starburst, the top Christmas candy in the state. Skittles and Hershey Kisses round out the list. V a l e n ti n e f a vor i te s Conversation hearts are the number one Valentine’s candy in Missouri. Followed by the good old heart-shaped boxes of chocolates.

Garden Club hears agriscience FFA presentation

Blaine Landes wins champion senior yearling at first American Royal show Blaine Landes, 9, won senior yearling heifer champion at the 2018 American Royal on Sunday, Oct. 21. The heifer is an American Aberdeen. Blaine is a third grader at Tri-County R-7 in Jamesport and also a member of Brushy Squirrels 4-H, James-

port. He is the son of Aaron and Micah Landes of Jamesport. His grandmother LuAnn Briscoe went with Blaine to the event. This was Blaine’s first year showing at the American Royal. Pictured are Micah Landes, LuAnn Briscoe and Blaine Landes.

The Gallatin Garden Club had their Oct. 16 meeting with Veda Heldenbrand as hostess at her home. At the noon hour Addison Burns, a Gallatin senior FFA student, came and gave her presentation project for the members. Addison is one of 12 national finalists for competition in an agriscience fair at the FFA convention in Indianapolis, IN, Oct. 24-27. Her project was very educational. She presented pictures, graphs and held a question and answer session. The club wishes her the best. Her mother Tara Burns and her sister Aubrey were guests. It was announced during the business meeting that due to the drought, winds, and heavy rains, no more Yards of the Month will be chosen this year. The club will be making an end of the year money donation to the Gallatin senior center and the Gallatin Ministerial Alliance. Jennifer William and Jean Caldwell had several clever tree guides. Veda Heldenbrand was the Yard of the Month for October with many pretty mums blooming around her home. Sarah Dowell and Betty Peters will have the November meeting.

Purple (cont. from page one) live in a free society. Signs placed at various locations annotate those roads and highways where legislation has been passed to designate parts of the national road system as The Purple Heart Trail. The actual format and design of the signs vary from state to state. There are currently designated sections in 45 states as well as Guam. The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S who are wounded in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. The heritage it represents is sacred to those who understand the price paid to wear it.

MDC hosts 32nd annual Poosey tour On a beautiful fall afternoon, visitors came in transport old and new for the 32nd annual fall driving tour at the Poosey Conservation Area in Livingston County. Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) staff set up education stations along the tour route where visitors could stop and ask questions. More than 1,300 visitors drove pickups, guided wagons, rode horseback, sat on straw bales on trailers,

or steered ATVs along the hilly gravel roads. The winding up-and-down route traced through a rugged portion of the Poosey Area, named for a historic community once nestled in the hills. Visitors saw native grass restorations on hilltop meadows, thinned timber stands to improve forest health, and Pike’s Lake. Many of the hickory trees were turning golden.

Comedy Vets (continued from page one) guy, but he had stage fright and never performed live,” he says. “He taught me the ins and outs.” Richie served four years in the Marines (1991-95) and three years in the National Guard (1996-99). He says his own experience with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was not so much about suicide as it was about rage. “I just wanted to beat people up,” he says. “I was always in trouble with the law. You come back and you think you can handle it, and you can’t handle it. You self-medicate. I finally learned to deal with my anger by turning it into comedy.” There are eight military veteran members to Comedy Vets, five who are the most active: Richie (whose stage name is Redneck Pimp), Jeff Onyx, David Scott, Mike West, and emcee James Riley. The Comedy Vets have been putting on shows since January of this year. “We’re picking up momentum and getting a little bit of a following,” Richie says. “We perform once a month at the old high school in Cameron. We’re hoping to be at Chillicothe once we get arrangements finalized.” They have performed at Kansas City, Independence and Gladstone. VFW and American Legion are their main clientele, but they have a lot of other venues. On Nov. 9-10 they will be at the Warrior Fest Rock Concert which features 18 bands. It’s a two-day event and the Comedy Vets will keep the crowds entertained during intermissions.

Also on Nov. 9, they will appear at the Gladstone Ground Hog Day Theater. The Comedy Vets have three styles: standup clean comedy, variety show (vocal, guitar, and sleight of hand parlor tricks), and adult comedy for age 18 and older. Vets and active military get in for free for all their shows. If you’d like a way to honor our service men and women, support a good cause by helping veterans laugh and helping veterans survive, then be sure to go see the Comedy Vets on Oct. 26 at The Old School in Cameron. There will also be merchandise for sale, like bracelets and T-shirts. “It’s good to get out and laugh and we invite everyone to come to one of our shows,” Richie says. “Laughter is the key to getting along with each other, and to peace of mind.”

Jail (continued from page one) to be replaced. The board entered into closed session. A request for proposal was submitted to the newspaper to obtain bids for financial audits. The next board meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Oct. 26. Present: Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Harold Allison; Daviess County Presiding Commissioner James Ruse; Timothy Carder, deputy director; Lori Burke, administrative assistant. Visitors: Ed Proctor, attorney.
