Daviess County Clerk

Daviess County voters largely mirrored statewide decisions during yesterday’s general election. The exceptions where county vote totals ran counter to overall election results involved State Auditor and Amendment 4 concerning bingo games. The only contested county election yesterday was for county clerk. Republican Ronetta Burton defeated Independent Teresa Eaton by a 668-vote margin. Eaton registered as an independent candidate after failing to declare as a Democrat by filing deadline. Burton was criticized for using “Re-elect” in her campaign when yesterday was her first election victory since being appointed to serve in office. Yesterday’s election tallied a

total of 3,031 ballots cast from the 5,359 registered voters eligible to participate. That is a 56.56% voter turnout. It may be of some interest to consider the number of write-in votes cast. Seldom do write-in ballots affect an election outcome, but the counts become interesting if write-in votes are interpreted as a token of voter dissatisfaction. Write-in votes cast for county offices, where winning candidates were officially unopposed, were for circuit judge (61), associate circuit judge (58), prosecuting attorney (54), circuit clerk (34), recorder (30), presiding commissioner (24). Obviously, these counts are very small against the total votes cast, and thus may not indicate discontent.

Decisions to retain two Supreme Court judges and a judge on the Western District Court Appeals are much easier to discern discontent because the “no” votes jump measurably higher. In Daviess County, ballot results show “no” votes garnered between 22.48% and 27.01% of the votes cast concerning judges up

A ceremony recognizing Daviess County as a Purple Heart County was attended by Daviess County Commissioners, Wayne Uthe, David Cox and Jim Ruse, and County Clerk Ronetta Burton. Pastor Robert Nelson, Lake Viking Church, gave the invocation. Gary Jones, chaplain with the local VFW, welcomed the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Walt Schley, Commander, presented the Purple Heart County Sign. Several members of the military attended along with Daviess County deputies, courthouse employees, and family and community members.

Daviess is the 81st Purple Heart County in Missouri Daviess County is now a Purple Heart County, honoring the service of all veterans and Purple Heart recipients who live here. Daviess is the 81st county in Missouri to receive the honor of the Purple Heart County. Walt Schley, Commander, Chapter 115, said the designation means that the sacrifices of the county’s military men and women will be remembered. Schley is Senior Vice Commander, Kansas City, for the Department of Missouri Military Order of the Purple Heart. He noted that Purple

Heart cities and counties are part of the Purple Heart Trail, which creates a symbolic and honorary system of roads, highways, bridges and other monuments giving tribute to the men and women who have been awarded the Purple Heart medal. The Purple Heart is the medal awarded to all U.S. military members who have been wounded or killed in combat. Two Purple Heart recipients were among the veterans attending the ceremony at the courthouse Wednesday. Darral

Crabtree, Albany, formerly of Pattonsburg, received the Purple Heart as a Marine in Vietnam in 1970 when he received a gun shot wound. Kenneth Mort, Jamesport, served in the Second Korean War (1966-1967) as a commanding officer in the Army, second infantry division. He received the Purple Heart when he lost his foot stepping on a land mine. The Purple Heart design was first created by Gen. George Washington as the Badge of Military Merit in 1782. The current

Purple Heart, which features a profile of Washington in gold, was developed by Gen. Douglas MacArthur in 1932. The Daviess County Commission signed a resolution to make Daviess County a Purple Heart County during their Oct. 10 meeting. The plaque will be displayed on the first floor of the courthouse in the lobby. The county commissioners have also purchased a Purple Heart County sign, which will be displayed in the northeast flower bed by the civil war cannon.

Nov. 7, 2018

No room to boast Editor’s note: o nist en radb ry a a reida arie r de ed t e odds to be o e a an er s r i or a year a o. ow e is batt in an er a ain t is ti e. e is s arin is o rney on a website a ed arin rid e were yo an et dates tt s www. arin brid e.or isit enbradb ry. e o owin o n was s b itted st rior to en s re ent os ita i ation.

Close? No, it was a tie ...twice! Did you vote for Jim Ruse, Republican, for county commissioner yesterday? That’s a trick question. Practically speaking (and assuming no write-in candidate can ambush a candidate whose name is actually printed on the ballot), we had no choice. The decision on who was to succeed Randy Sims as county commissioner was actually determined in the August primary when Jim won the Republican party nomination. Within a week Gov. Mike Parsons appointed Ruse as commissioner since no other declared candidate would appear on yesterday’s ballot. So, Mr. Ruse has been on the job since Aug. 14 even though he wasn’t officially elected until yesterday. That’s about as cut-anddried as an election can get. On the other hand, you might be surprised to learn this is not always the case. In fact, sometimes final official ballot counts can total exactly the same between two competing candidates. In Daviess County this happened not once but twice! In 1958, Democrats gained control of the Daviess County Court for the first time in nearly 10 years despite election ballots which tallied a tie vote. After absentee votes and all voting precincts were totaled, Republican Grover Hoyle and Democrat Roy Gibbens had exactly the same vote counts. By state law in effect at that time (which harkened back to 1877), the outcome in such unusual circumstances was to be decided by the county sheriff. So, it fell to Sheriff Leland Houghton to break the tie. He chose Roy Gibbens — which especially chagrined Republicans since several absentee ballots declared invalid were cast for Republican Grover Hoyle. The same Gallatin Democrat edition that reported this unusual county election result also pointed to a precedent. Exactly 40 years previous to 1958, a tie vote for county judge (today’s county commissioner) occurred in 1918 between Republican Daniel Blackburn and Democrat O.I. Brown. In this election, Brown appeared to have a 57-vote margin over Blackburn until absentee ballots were counted. The official final tally had the election for the county government seat deadlocked. At first it was proposed that the election should be decided by the toss of a coin or by drawing of lots. But, eventually, the legal

statute to determine the outcome was presented. Republican Sheriff J. Atch Blair quickly cast his deciding vote for Blackburn and the GOP won the seat on the county’s government. This wasn’t welcomed news. Particularly vehement was colorful editor Wes Robertson of the Gallatin Democrat (he was later shot and killed a year later for what he published about the county clerk, thus continues to be known today as Missouri’s Newspaper Martyr). Robertson’s take on Sheriff Blair’s vote to break the tie of the 1918 election was published, in part, as follows:

O the Editor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

“Sitting as Lord High Executioner — casting two ballots in an election where the average citizen has only one — giving a partisan opinion to determine the result of a tie election in which his fellow citizens should have rights for fair consideration, is the latest role in which our High Sheriff figures conspicuously. “And the role suits him fine — for if there is anything for which our High Sheriff has an aversion more than a Democrat in office — or a fair chance to get one in — it is several Democrats on the job. In fact, he has about as much regard for a Democrat he cannot use as the devil has for holy water.” The other newspaper in town, the North Missourian, was quick to respond. An article written by Moses Mann began as follows: “Under the caption ‘High Sheriff As Judge’, the impetuous Quill Pusher of the Democrat, who is always a poor loser, proceeds to pull off a ‘gander dance’ and create as much commotion as a Tom Cat on a tin roof all because of the application of a law... “... should Blair have decided against Blackburn, some people would have said D---n, others would have said $$$$, and would have met with derision and contempt from people of both parties. “There is no cause, except for the sting of defeat, for the vitriolic harangue of the Gallatin Democrat for we all know if a Democrat had held the office of sheriff what the result would have been.

It is seldom that a loser is satisfied in a case like this, yet it is the law. It is as plain as the English language can make it and if the people do not like the law, let them petition the legislature to change it.” So, were these the good ol’ days when elections (and emotions) were more lively? Tie votes can happen on any level of government. One more noteworthy than these examples of Daviess County government is the national election of 1800. Thomas Jefferson won the presidential election with 73 votes in the electoral college to John Adams’ 65 votes. But the Republican vice presidential candidate Aaron Burr also received 73 votes. When presidential electors cast their votes, they failed to distinguish between the office of president and vice president on their ballots. Thus, the vote for the presidency was declared a tie between Jefferson and his vice presidential running mate. At that time, the constitution directed that the election be decided by the House of Representatives and Jefferson became president. It took the House 36 ballots and six days to declare Jefferson the winner! Thomas Jefferson called his election “the Revolution of 1800” because it marked the first time that power in America passed from one party to another. Of course, more recent presidential elections also come to mind. Eighteen years ago the contentious 2000 presidential race between George Bush and Al Gore came to a climax when a divided Supreme Court ruled that Florida’s court-ordered manual recount of vote ballots was unconstitutional. You may recall that the election outcome was not known for a month after balloting because of the extended process of recounting Florida’s ballot. Republican George W. Bush narrowly lost the popular vote to Democrat Al Gore but defeated Gore in the electoral college to become president. And then our last presidential election when Republican Donald Trump won the electoral college vote to become president over Democrat Hillary Clinton, 304-227. The president still doesn’t like to be reminded about the official tally of popular votes which went Clinton’s way by over 2.8 million votes. Who says elections aren’t interesting?

Greetings from Poosey. It was the only contest I can remember ever winning. 4-H had a project called “Tractor” or “Farm Driving” or something like that. The culmination of the year’s activity was a tractor rodeo of sorts. We little farm kids were assigned a tractor, then taken to a lot full of obstacles, machinery and other hazards. Each of us had to complete a series of intricate driving maneuvers and the grand finale was the “Backing Competition.” Each young farmer had to back a two-wheeled, then a four-wheeled cart through a series of flags, cultivators, plows, and stick figures meant to resemble young girls about to get smashed by the backer and his tractor. I always felt that the “little girl getting creamed” was a bit gross. At least you had extra points deducted if you ran over her cardboard figure. Her name was Polly and every few minutes during the contest you’d hear someone shout, “He just ran over Polly!” I don’t blame any of you for not knowing this, but the technique in backing a four-wheel cart is exactly the opposite of the moves you must make putting a two-wheeler in reverse. Skip to the ending: I was crowned Champion Backer of my county. When I got home that night and showed Dad the trophy he said, “Figures. You finally win something and you do it backwards.” No, this was not mental abuse of children in the 1950s Midwest; it was called growing up in my household. Anything even resembling a boast or brag was cut off at the knees. If my brother would come home late at night telling how his team had won the basketball game, you can be assured that someone in the house responded. “What? The other team didn’t show up?” I had very nice friends throughout my grade school years but my little buddies didn’t know the rules of our household and I was always afraid that when I had them stay overnight and they’d brag about their spelling grade or their high jump record that the entire family would nail them to the wall with verbal body slams. As far as I can remember such was never the case. I guess we were polite to outsiders. But as I grew older I slowly discovered that this trait of humility, forced or otherwise, was shared by many more families than mine. The further I traveled from the American Midwest the more obvious it became that this characteristic was not just local, but regional. We’re not perfect, but Midwesterners are probably more adverse to conceit than any creatures on Earth. True, I’ve not met every creature on Earth so I’m doing a little guessing here. However, it’s been nice to have this confirmed by objective outsiders in the form of European tour guides. I can’t even guess how many times our guide to London or Paris or Sydney will remark that my group from the Midwest was somehow different from most American groups of teens and adults. Americans, especially teenage Americans, have long had the reputation in the rest of the world of being noisy, demanding, and pretty much full of themselves. Instead of shutting up and listening to an Italian tell you of the differences between his culture and ours, many American teens will interrupt by telling him “How we do it back home,” implying that the back home way is the right way. If you order fish and chips (French fries) in England you’ll likely be handed a packet of malt vinegar as a condiment instead of ketchup. I was once mortified to hear an American teen ask a waiter, “But don’t you have any ketchup so I can eat it the right way?” There’s never a hole to crawl into when you need one. Who’s considered the greatest American author? Most would vote for Mark Twain. And his sharpest tool was understatement ... the opposite of the brag. By the way, Twain was from the Midwest. My grandfather had lost two fingers of his right hand in a farm accident and when in later years we’d crawl up on his lap and ask what had happened he’d simply say, “You know. I wish I knew. I just woke up one morning and thought ...shoot ...where’d them things go?” Understatement. Don’t get me wrong... Grandpa was a terrible liar, but when he told the truth he never bragged about it. Some of our leaders seem to take credit for nearly everything including the creation of the world, but people who elect them still maintain a civil modesty. I hope that young parents keep instilling this humility. Perhaps someday their child will back his or her modesty all the way to the White House. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

A look at some effects of voter approved term limits I was inspired to write this column by a Missouri newspaper publisher who asked me to dedicate a column to one of the most dominating factors in Missouri’s statehouse — voter-approved term limits. The eight-year limit on service in a legislative chamber has had a dramatic impact. Like many in the statehouse, I’ve found term limits to be detrimental in solving the state’s most complicated and politically difficult problems. Term limits restrict the time necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of these issues. Further, some solutions require years to build coalitions for success — sometimes more years than possible under term limits. Obvious examples are the failures to craft a comprehensive solution to the state’s deteriorating transportation infrastructure and to address the growing dominance of secret, dark-money financing in politics. Compounding the problem has been the impact from term limits on legislators entering their final year in the statehouse. With so little prospect of legislative accomplishment which can take years, some final-year lawmakers seem more focused on future political or governmental office. Others have struck me as somewhat de-

tached. But, I’ve also seen a few “lame ducks” inspired to rebel against their party lines since they have little to lose. There have been unexpected consequences. Many senior lobbyists have been among the losers, as some term-limit supporters had predicted. Before term limits, lobbyists had time to develop long-term relationships with legislators. The state’s most influential lobbyist, the late John by Phill Britton, told me how he’d roo s identify the most promising freshman legislators for him to assist in their development into roles of influence in later years — including more than one House speaker. While special-interest lobbyists like Britton gained from the era before term limits, there also was a public benefit. Maintaining legislative relationships forced lobbyists to be honest. A lobbyist could pay a steep price for deceiving a legislator who might stay around for decades. And with the relationships legislators developed among themselves during the years before term limits, word quickly spread about lobbyist reputations. Another change in the term-limit era

has been the growing ideological agenda of the General Assembly. While a major factor in that trend involves changes in political party agendas, I think another cause has been the lack of time for legislators to evolve. Many first-year legislators arrive in the General Assembly with an ideological agenda. Prior to term limits, legislators often evolved to understand the complexities and the need for compromise to achieve solutions. But some term-limit supporters charged those legislators were being co-opted by the system. So, those who seek a more ideologically pure agenda might be considered winners. Other clear winners from term limits are government bureaucrats. Legislators are not around long enough to extract a price for an administration official lying or failing to follow legislative intent. In recent years, budget committee members have blasted government bureaucrats for failing to follow legislative intent — but with no subsequent consequences because the legislative critics were forced out of office by term limits.

Capitol Perspectives

Another winner from term limits may be local governments. More than a few legislators driven out by term limits had such a commitment to public service that they’ve moved on to city and county governments which, I suspect, benefit from the skills and knowledge gained in the legislature. I should confess a conflict I have with this issue. Term limits have been awful for statehouse reporters. We’ve lost longterm legislative sources. It takes years to build trust on both sides. It takes time before I can trust a public figure to be honest and candid. And for a legislator, it takes just as many years to be comfortable that I will honor a confidentiality agreement and will use the information provided for accurate and meaningful stories. These kinds of relationships are critical for me to inform you about what’s really happening in government on issues of importance. But with term limits, I find myself with fewer of these sources. Editor’s note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Journalism. He has covered every governor since Warren Hearnes.

Rainey charged with trafficking stolen identities Amanda Rainey, 35, was charged Nov. 5 with the B felony of trafficking in stolen identities. This charge has been added to other charges against Rainey and her husband Johnny which were filed after a search warrant was executed at their Gallatin residence on Oct. 7. According to the probable cause statement prepared by Daviess County Deputy Larry Adams, a large amount of mail and personal documents from numerous persons in Daviess County was found during the search, including a medical certification certificate, driver’s licenses, bank savings account documents, postal service employee identification, and Social Security benefit statements. During videotaped interrogation, Rainey admitted that she possessed a credit card for the purpose of gaining unlawful access to online banking for the purpose of stealing money from

a bank account. These means of identification were being used to falsely use the victim’s identity to open accounts and take money. Stolen items from at least five Gallatin residences were seized during the search. According to Deputy Larry Adams, the thefts would have occurred from June 2018 until just prior to the executed search warrant. On Oct. 8, Amanda and Johnny Rainey were each charged with stealing $750 or more and possession of controlled substance, both D felonies, and misdemeanors of identity theft, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Deputy Adams has indicated that extensive investigation of this case will be conducted. The search warrant was executed by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department, Gallatin Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Panthers roll into district title game The Pattonsburg Panthers, led by record-setting quarterback Steven Willhite, punched their ticket to the 8-Man, District 3 championship game last Friday with a 66-12 victory over North Shelby. Pattonsburg (with Gilman City and North Harrison) will host Southwest/Hale/TinaAvalon this Friday for the right to meet the winner of the Stanberry vs. Worth County District 4 title contest. Southwest comes in at 9-1 after an 84-62 barn burner victory over King City. Southwest is averaging 56 points per game and owns a single season loss to Mound City, 64-14. Pattonsburg is averaging 64.6 points per game with one season loss to Stanberry, 84-46, in the Grand River Conference championship game. Friday’s game promises a contrast of offensive styles, with the Panthers leaning toward the pass and Wildcats toward the running game.

Willhite threw six touchdown passes Friday night to break the Missouri state 8-man record of 58 set by Northwest Nodaway’s Koby Reynolds in 2014. Willhite’s 61 TD passes on the season, plus 12 rushing touchdowns ties the state record for all classes, also owned by Zane Jacoby of Westran (2014). Patrick Cowley caught a pair of TD passes for the Panthers and overall grabbed seven passes for 161 yards. Southwest relies heavily upon quarterback Mack Anderson, who threw for 300 yards and eight touchdowns and rushed for 152 yards and four TDs in the win over King City. Wyatt Maddux caught seven passes for 192 yards and five touchdowns, tying a 2011 school record for most TD receptions in a season. The Panthers are looking to avenge a 36-30 loss to the Wildcats in last season’s district semifinal round.

The Gallatin Bulldogs are well represented on the 201 8 All-Grand River Conference football honor sq uad for 1 1 -man football. Twelve Bulldogs received honors from league coaches who voted on players last week. Gallatin honorees include, front row, from left: Adrian H ernandez , Ross Critten, Graydee Rains, Tom Crouse and Ayden Wayne; back row: H aden Bradford, Gage Wright, Thomas King, JJ Waters, Aidan Adkison, Morgan McBroom and Tristen Gibson.

Tigers deal Bulldogs 29-0 knockout blow Senior quarterback Chase Billups threw for a school record 321 yards, including a pair of touchdown throws, and Marceline knocked Gallatin out of the district title game with a 29-0 semifinal victory last Friday at Chester Ray Stadium in Marceline. The Tigers, ranked #4 in Missouri Class 1, will host Hamilton this Friday in the district championship game. Though new to District 8, this will be Marceline’s sixth straight district championship appearance. Hamilton is making its fifth straight district title game appearance, which includes a pair of Class 1 state championship games and one state title in the last five seasons. The Tigers excelled on both sides of the ball on Friday, piling up 437 yards of offense and holding the Bulldogs to 187 yards, including a 2.9 average per carry on the ground. Billups completed 62 percent of his 22 pass attempts and averaged 22 yards per completion, numbers that kept the Tigers ahead of the chains most of the night. First half numbers disputed the scoreboard. Gallatin won time of possession, first down and number of offensive plays,

but failed to use that advantage in a material way. An early fumble killed a promising Bulldog drive and gave the Tigers the momentum to convert a third and 10 situation through the air. Cullen Bruner bounced off a would-be tackler into the end zone at the 6:55 mark to give Marceline the only lead it would need. The Tigers increased their lead to 12-0 late in the second quarter when Billups connected with Clayton Stallo on a 66-yard scoring strike. Ayden Wayne intercepted a 2-point conversion try in the end zone. The Bulldogs were able to move the ball between the 30 yard lines but found the end zone hard to reach. Gallatin set up shop in MHS territory with a minute left in the half when a hard hit by Wayne knocked the ball loose on a Tiger punt return. Ross Critten recovered on the 45. Working against the clock, the Bulldogs moved the ball to the 11 but a false start took it back five yards. A first down and 16 yardsto-go pass to Critten with 10 seconds left only produced a six yard gain. Trailing, 19-0, late in the third quarter, Gallatin showed

signs of offensive life when a JJ Waters catch and run, plus a Graydee Rains 17-yard run, put the Bulldogs in scoring position. Gallatin faced first and goal but two runs and a pass play failed to crack the end zone. Marceline would add another TD run at the 1:42 mark of the third quarter on the heels of a long pass completion. The Bulldogs’ last fling on offense began with a Critten punt return from his own 32 to the Tiger 32. Haden Bradford picked up yards to the 19, but a fourth down pass to Waters sailed just out of his reach. A 62-yard pass play set up a Bruner field goal near the end of the game. Rains gained 65 tough yards to lead Gallatin’s offense and the senior, converted from a lineman to fullback, finished the season with 1,060 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns. Aidan Adkison was 4 of 10 through the air for 40 yards, with one interception.

North Daviess initiates Campus Cupboard to fight hunger North Daviess school recognizes that hunger can affect all ages of children. North Daviess school has initiated Campus Cupboard, one of the first in the area. C a m p u s Cupboard is a project through Second Harvest, Community Food Bank. The food pantry not only aids elementary aged students, but older students and their families as well. This mission is to help alleviate child hunger through the community through food provisions for children and their families. The program start-up is headed by principal Kelly Hightree and resource para-teacher Vera Nelson. The Campus Cupboard pantry is stocked with healthy food from Second Harvest and families are able to use the pantry, located at the school, once a week to better secure a source of food for the families through

the weekend. North Daviess recognizes not only children’s need for education, but the need for children to be safe and not hungry when put in the school setting. This program is completely voluntary, and is not income based. The program for North D a v i e s s Schools will run through the school year 2018-2019. Mrs. Hightree and Mrs. Nelson plan to have the distribution up and going by the middle of November. Campus Cupboard is an anonymous program, therefore, Mrs. Hightree is promoting the program with volunteers from the North Daviess FFA and FBLA, as well as students in the A-Plus program. North Daviess families are encouraged to contact the school at 660-828-4123 with any questions.

Holiday Hoops issues call for volunteers The 14th annual High School Holiday Hoops is set to tip off on the campus of North Central Missouri College in just a few weeks. Sponsored by the NCMC Foundation, this year’s edition of Holiday Hoops will feature 115 teams representing Missouri and Iowa high schools. Games at the Ketcham Center begin on Friday night, Dec. 14, and run through New Year’s Eve. Hoops Director Steve Maxey says schools range in size this year from Class 1 to Class 5 in Missouri, with four Iowa schools

ranging from 1A to 6A. As in the past, hundreds of volunteers will be needed to assist the 15-member steering committee in hosting what is considered the largest high school holiday basketball shootout in Missouri. Persons interested in volunteering should contact Maxey or the Foundation Office on the NCMC Campus. Positions for volunteers included team hosts, individuals to operate the official clock or serve as scorekeeper, front desk volunteers and individuals to assist with sales and hospitality.

North Daviess first ever “Trunk-Or-Treat” scores a happy Halloween Students at North Daviess took part in the first ever TrunkOr-Treat on Halloween, Oct. 31. Elementary students dressed in costumes or Halloween colors were greeted by over 20 sponsors offering not only candy, but coloring books, stickers, pencils , tooth brushes and tooth paste, and many other goodies. Halloween bags, which were donated by the Daviess County Health Department, were brimming full by the time the preschool through sixth grade students made their way through the parking lot. Daviess County Library staff memebers, along with the Gallatin Police Department, were on hand to help students celebrate safety and education. Other Gallatin businesses that contributed to the event included Humphrey Dental and Terry Implement. Crossroads Corrections in Cameron contributed coloring books. Long distance sponsor, Ross Worley of Wall-Ties, made sure that being over 150 miles away was not going to keep him from contributing to his alma mater. North Daviess FFA and FBLA students and their sponsors added to the fun with games and a hay maze. Junior and senior high students also dressed up and were rewarded with treats from the sponsors after the event.

Daviess County 4-H holds recognition day for Rookie of the Year, Garfield Award, volunteer of year The Daviess County 4-H Advisory Board hosted the annual recognition day for the 24 club members of Daviess County at the Tri-County Elementary School in Jamesport. The pledges were led by Avery Chadwick and Kaylen Sterneker. Libby Endicott, Knee-Hi 4-H Club President, and Seth Hansen, Northwest Region Representative to the Missouri State 4-H Council, assisted in presenting the awards for the afternoon. The Rookie of the Year award winners were Blaine Landes of Jamesport and Cord Endicott of Gallatin. The awards are given in memory of Randy Minnick. Each winner received a walnut 4-H clover plaque, made and donated by Wayne and Sally Minnick, with

an engraved plate donated by the Wayne Minnick Family. Daviess County was the winner of the Northwest Region 4-H Camp Garfield Award for 2018. Each year, during the first two weeks in June, 17 counties in the northwest region attend overnight camp at Crowder State Park in Trenton. The participating counties strive to bring the largest percentage of their enrollment to camp. Daviess County had 27 youths attend traditional 4-H camp, and three youths attended Clover Kid Camp for a total of 52% of the county enrollment participating in camping. Libby Endicott of the Knee-Hi 4-H Club was a teen counselor during one week of the tradition-

al camp. Those attending traditional camp in 2018 included Avery Chadwick, Case Chrisman, Cole Chrisman, Emma Christopher, Bo Eads, Hailey Eads, Alex Endicott, Cord Endicott, Shelby Gibson, Avery Gregg, Lyndsey King, Tyler King, Blaine Landes, Peyton Lawson, Mason Lynch, Kendra McMahon, Keaton Norman, Jonas Pettit, Allee Prescott, Madison Reeter, Callie Skinner, Kaylen Sterneker, Ella Terhune, Cale Turner, Calli Webb, and Colbi Webb. Those attending Clover Camp, along with their parents, included Andrew Lawson, Olivia Sterneker, and Chyles Webb. Youths who completed their Missouri Recognition Forms

were awarded gift certificates. First place certificates to Dickâ€™s Sporting Goods were awarded to Alex and Cord Endicott. Second place certificates to Subway went to Lyndsey and Tyler King. Youth who did demonstrations at the Missouri State Fair in August, Abigail Burns, Kaylen Sterneker, Lyndsey King and Allee Prescott, were recognized and received $10 premium money from the Missouri State Fair Foundation. Also recognized for project completion were Blaine Landes, Alex Endicott, Cord Endicott, Lyndsey King, and Tyler King. The youths received their project pins representing their project/club work for the 4-H year. Joyce Eads was recognized by the county youth as the outstanding volunteer of the year. 4-H features nearly 6 million members, rural, suburban, and urban, throughout all 50 states and some foreign countries. 4-H in Missouri is administered through the University of Missouri Extension, giving 4-Hers, volunteers, and leaders access to the latest data in research and youth development.

October 1 marked the beginning of the new 4-H year and the opening of member enrollment. If your family is interested in joining 4-H, contact the Daviess County Extension office at 660663-3232 or local club leaders, Jena Eads with the Jamesport Brushy Squirrels 4-H Club or Alicia Endicott with the Knee-Hi 4-H Club in Gallatin.

Election ( continued from page one)

Helpers at the polls on election day! As a way to increase voter turnout in the ages of 18-30, Daviess County Supervisory Election Judge Dan McCann asked Kim Johnson, government teacher at Gallatin R-5, for some student volunteers to help out at the election. The students worked in groups of two and volunteered in two-hour shifts. They started at 6 a.m. and worked until 8 p.m. Volunteers included not only some NHS members, but classroom students as well. Mrs. Johnson commented, “I’m so happy to be able to get the kids involved in the election process as not only as a hands-on learning experience, but for a great volunteer opportunity as well!” Student volunteers, shown front from left, were Haden Bradford, Ally Johnson, Jessica Hart,

Claire Hemry; middle row, Sarah Morrison, Addi Stanley, Bethany Bailey, Mic Warner, Essie Williamson; back row, Keegan Allen, Aidan Adkison, Jacob Wilson, Dylan Burns, and Zoe Bradford.

statewide approved changes. This proved to be the tightest of ballot issues. Daviess County voters joined others across the state endorsing Amendment 1, called the “Clean Missouri” proposal. This puts a limit on lobbyists’ gifts to lawmakers and includes several provisions to improve transparency in the General Assembly. The initiative petition drew 61.99% support with yes votes at 1,459,576 against no votes at 895,012. A proposed 10-cent increase in the state fuel tax failed. The current 17-cent a gallon tax hasn’t been changed since 1996 but lawmakers of both political parties expressed concerns about how this proposal would allocate the new revenue. Three ballot proposals involved medical marijuana, with voters endorsing Amendment 2 by a 65.54% majority. This makes sales subject to a 4% sales tax with proceeds to fund services for military veterans. The vote was complicated because two other medical marijuana initiatives were on the ballot. Amendment 3 was a proposal led by Springfield physician/lawyer Brad Bradshaw, creating a medical marijuana research institution led by Bradshaw. This proposal received 32% approval. Proposition C was similar to the now voter approved Amendment 2 but proposed a 2% sales tax and, because it’s a statute rather than a constitutional amendment, the legislature could change it. Proposition C failed, receiving only 43.5% approval. By passing Amendment 2 Missouri joins 31 states and Washington, D.C., in legalizing medical marijuana. Most other states, including Missouri, allow for cannabis oil with little or no

THC, the ingredient in marijuana that produces the “high” that recreational users crave. Amendment 2 makes doctors the gatekeepers to legal marijuana in Missouri, which is a role most of the state’s major physician groups don’t relish. C a nd i d a t e c h oi c es Much focus was thrust on the race for U.S. Senate between incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill and Republican Josh Hawley. McCaskill, the highestranking Democrat in statewide office, fought to retain her seat in a state President Trump won by 19 votes in 2016. Hawley won the seat yesterday by emphasizing Missouri’s role in national politics. His election helped Republicans hold the majority in the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Democrats won control of the House of Representatives, claiming election victories in various states elsewhere in the nation. Not so in Missouri. Republican Sam Graves easily defeated Democrat challenger Henry Robert Martin. Vote totals show Graves 199,580, Martin 97,515. Graves, 54, has been a Congressman since 2001 and now represents 36 counties across North Missouri. He is chairman of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and member of the Armed Services Committee. The Tarkio businessman and sixth generation farmer was a heavy favorite. According to the Kansas City Star, Graves’ campaign reported more than $1.6 million in donations with $646,000 on hand in mid-October. This compares to Martin who reported $31,000 in donations with less than $5,000 on hand just before the election. Hawley’s victory means the Democrats now hold just one statewide office. Democrat Ni-

cole Galloway won a close race against Republican Saundra McDowell. Galloway, a 36-yearold certified public accountant, was serving as Boone County treasurer when former Gov. Jay Nixon appointed her after Auditor Tom Schweich took his own life.

Hunters check 25 turkeys in Daviess Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that Daviess County hunters checked 25 turkeys during Missouri’s fall firearms turkey season, Oct. 1-31. Summary details show hunters took: adult gobblers 5; adult hens 10; juvenile gobblers 7; juvenile hens 16. Last year, hunter’s checked 38 in Daviess. Across the state, 2,169 turkeys were checked with top harvest counties Greene with 57, Henry with 48, and Laclede with 47. Last year’s fall firearms turkey harvest total was 2,899. MDC’s turkey biologist says the low harvest total can be attributed to several years of poor hatches. Another factor that has resulted in lower fall turkey harvests is declining hunter participation. This year, 10,262 fall firearms turkey hunting permits were purchased. During the peak year of 1987, nearly 53,000 permits were purchased. Isabelle attributes the bulk of this declining interest to the popularity of archery season. “Each year we continue to see more and more hunters participating in the archery deer and turkey season,” said Isabelle. “Rather than carry a shotgun in the woods in October, I think a lot of hunters are now carrying a bow.”

Essie Williamson volunteered and also participated in her first-ever election as a registered 18-yearold voter.

Many levies increased in Daviess County Tax statements for real estate and personal property have now been mailed to Daviess County property owners. Tax payments are due by Dec. 31 at the Daviess County Collector’s office. Your valuations should not have changed unless new construction has been added to your assessment. If your tax statement shows an increase, the reason is most likely to be increased levies throughout the county. Of the 61 taxing entities in the county, only six levies went down. Eighteen levies remained the same, and the remaining 37 entities have levy increases.

Every levy for a school located in Daviess County increased. Of 15 townships, levies in seven increased. Levies for all three special road districts increased. Daviess County Road and Bridge fund levies for seven of the 15 townships increased. Levies for most towns in Daviess County also went up, as well as the levies for Daviess County, Daviess County Library, Daviess County Health Department, Senior Center, Ambulance and Disabilities Board. If you have questions, you may contact the Collector’s Office at 660-663-2432 or the Assessor’s Office at 660-663-3300.

Pattonsburg R-2 board deals with leaks, land agreement The Pattonsburg R-2 Board of Education discussed the cooperative agreement and what it might cost to level the ground and install lights and poles during their meeting held Oct. 24. Discussion was tabled for next month. The cooperative agreement is with the City of Pattonsburg and regards adding another ball field on the north side of the city park. Superintendent Ireland reported that after the heavy September rains, there were more leaks in the new addition around many windows. Herner Construction came and looked at the leaks. Herner contacted the specialist that installed the windows, but has not heard anything back yet. The new transportation director Billy Goble passed all tests to be a licensed bus driver.

Judge Chapman’s appointment leaves big shoes to fill in 43rd b y J ud g e R . B r ent E l l i ot t Since the appointment of Judge Chapman to the Western District Court of Appeals, the 43rd Judicial Circuit has been operating with one less judge than required. The 43rd Circuit consists of Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and Livingston counties. Each county has one Associate Circuit Judge and, since 1981, has been authorized to have two Circuit Judges. Needless to say, Judge Chapman’s elevation left us with big shoes to fill. He was an extremely active judge, handling a substantial caseload in addition to his presiding judge duties. Also, during the month of October, all judges throughout the state were required to participate in what the Supreme Court referenced as the “Circuit Realignment Project-Weighted Workload Study.” In addition to their normal duties, each judge was required to submit the nature and duration of each task performed for statistical analysis. Also, all of Missouri’s rural judges are facing re-election this year and, as mentioned in last month’s article, two judges were opposed in the November election. As you can imagine, these issues contributed significantly to our already stressed judicial workload. It was particularly important our courts meet their obligations at this point in history. Missouri’s Judicial Circuits are scheduled for realignment consideration in 2020. Many factors may be considered in determining the boundaries of judicial circuits. Population, caseload, and need are significant. The 43rd Circuit’s population is increasing, but still less than some other circuits with two circuit judges. However, the caseload is significant. This circuit is the only one in Missouri with three penitentiaries, a regional jail, and a federal detention center. As presiding judge, I wish to express the gratitude of the 43rd Circuit to our Associate Circuit Judges for their extra effort in our hour of need. Also, a special thanks to Senior Judge Brad Funk of Mercer for his assistance in keeping up with our caseload. Their contributions may prove significant when circuit realignment is considered. I am about to embark on my final term as a judge. Circuit changes that will not take effect until the end of my tenure will have no impact on me professionally. However, as it should be to any citizen, judicial efficiency is a significant concern. As this article goes to print I will travel to Kansas City to witness an historic event. Judge Thomas Nichols Chapman will be sworn as Judge for the Western District Court of Appeals. It is a great honor for him and the citizens of our circuit. I too am honored to have served with him. E d i t or ’ s not e: Circuit Judge R. Brent E lliott presents this series of articles to provide citiz ens with a better understanding of the j udicial system.

Bringin’ the butterflies back Smithfield Foods collaboration with Environmental Defense Fund and Roeslein Alternative Energy working to bring monarch butterflies back in large numbers

Smithfield Foods, Inc. is the first food company to participate in a new program with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Roeslein Alternative Energy (RAE) to restore key prairie habitat for monarch butterflies. The project is taking place at Smithfield hog production farms in Missouri in Gentry, Mercer, Putnam and Sullivan counties. Smithfield Foods is the world’s largest pork producer. The company operates at least 200 hog farms in North Carolina as well as 140 company-owned farms, along with contract farms and four feed mills in Northwest Missouri. Local farms are located in Daviess, Grundy, Linn counties in Missouri and Wayne County, Iowa. Smithfield, based in Virginia, purchased Missouri and North Carolina hog operations from Premium Standard Farms in 2007. The company’s new program is helping bring back the iconic insect, which has experienced a 95% population decline since the 1980s and could be listed as a threatened species in June 2019. However, the monarch is currently undergoing what is anticipated to be the largest migration in 10 years. “We’re excited about the potential of this unique partnership to support recovery of the beloved monarch butterfly and other pollinators that rely on healthy prairie habitat,” said David Wolfe, director of conservation strategies at EDF. “In addition to providing habitat for bees, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife, this program offers multiple other environmental and financial benefits. The economic savings come from the benefits prairies have for helping hold water and nitrogen in the soil, and reducing potential waste. There are also added revenue opportunities that come from appropriately timed harvesting of the prairie for biomass that can be used for biogas generation of clean, natural gas.” Attracted to the program’s dual benefits, Smithfield contributed $300,000 to fund the planting of native grasses and monarch-friendly native milkweed and wildflower species on 1,000 acres of

land on and surrounding its hog farms in Missouri. “We recognize that prairie is both an environmental and economic force,” said Kraig Westerbeek, senior director of Smithfield Renewables for Smithfield Foods. “While helping to protect the environment surrounding our farms, prairie is creating a new revenue opportunity as an alternative source of clean, renewable energy.” Since the 1990s, Smithfield has explored ways to transform hog manure into renewable energy. Smithfield recently announced the nationwide expansion of these efforts through Smithfield Renewables, a platform that unifies, leads, and accelerates the company’s carbon reduction and renewable energy efforts, while helping meet its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2025. In Missouri, the food company has worked with RAE since 2014 to transform manure into renewable natural gas and is now looking to prairie grass as an alternative feedstock, particularly useful during the winter months. “Generating energy from manure, prairie, or other biomass is pretty simple,” said Rudi Roeslein, founder and president of RAE. “Manure is captured in the underfloor of the hog buildings where scrapers are used to move and flush waste to an anaerobic digester or a covered lagoon, where anaerobic digestion takes place and solids are broken down to release methane gas that is transported to a central process-

ing facility to be converted into renewable natural gas. Harvested prairie is used to supplement hog manure as an alternative source of energy. Prior to harvest, native prairie and cover crops provide an essential ecological service as critical habitat for pollinators and wildlife. This is an exciting new vision for renewable energy production.” Together, Smithfield, EDF, and RAE are creating a compelling ecological and financial model for the growth and management of native prairie across the agricultural landscape. Ultimately, the unlikely collaborators are working to achieve a more resilient and ecologically diverse agricultural landscape. About Smithfield Foods Smithfield Foods is a $15 billion global food company and the world’s largest pork processor and hog producer. In the United States, the company is also the leader in numerous packaged meats categories with popular brands including Smithfield®, Eckrich®, Nathan’s Famous®, Farmland®, Armour®, Farmer John®, Kretschmar®, John Morrell®, Cook’s®, Gwaltney®, Carando®, Margherita®, Curly’s®, Healthy Ones®, Morliny®, Krakus®, and Berlinki®.

Monarch butterflies are the most beautiful of all butterflies, some say, and are considered the “king” of the butterflies, hence the name “monarch.”
