Yield tallied as harvest nears completion Before the snow of earlier this week, farmers had some dry days for harvest and they took advantage with combines and trucks rumbling all night in some ﬁelds. It was a wet, rainy spring and planting was delayed. Summer rains caused low yields and crop damage for some along the Grand River and its tributaries. Farmers ﬁnally got a break in October, which received below average rainfall with 2.66 inches reported at the local Farm Service Agency.

Missionaries receive their assignment from LDS headquarters and are sent only to countries where governments allow the church to operate. Missionaries do not request their area of assignment and do not know beforehand whether they will be required to learn a language. Prior to going to their assigned area, missionaries spend a short period of time at one of 15 missionary training centers throughout the world. There they learn how to teach the gospel in an orderly and clear way and, if necessary, they begin to learn the language of the people they will be teaching.

OPINION

A wandering mind My mind wanders while driving the monotony of the interstate. After 44 years of marriage, silence between partners is comfortable. When the miles begin stretching the imagination, my better half knows better than to ask what’s on my mind. Take storage sheds. Once upon a time sheds were built for hay or as windbreaks for cattle or for storing things beyond the scope of a garage, like for combines or tractors on the list to get fixed. Not so today. Is this country ever going to get enough rental sheds built to handle all our indulgence? We used to watch license plates or count American flags to pass the time while on a long drive. Don’t try counting storage rentals. You’ll lose; they’re countless. Talk about “Land of the fee... “ Or then, sometimes my mind shifts gears to just time in general. What does the typical American do with Off the Editor’s Spike... all the time that technology saves? Are you convicted when your cell phone app rudely displays the minute count showing how much time you’ve spent playing games or trolling the internet against more practical phone use? You don’t have to be driving, of course, for your mind to wander. by Darryl Wilkinson Maybe you’ve stood in line somewhere lately, like at some fast food joint. Remember when all you could order was a burger, either with or without cheese, with your French fries? How much time does the average Joe spend pondering the bright digital menu proposing countless variations on chicken or Mexican or whatever on continuous loop? Do you feel assaulted when confronted with hundreds of choices at the drive-in when all you wanted was a chocolate shake …er, is that classic or hand-mixed, and do you want a plastic straw or paper? It wasn’t always this way. Once upon a time there was no science to television’s early years. Broadcast news programs lasted an hour; local news half as much. You had your choice between three stations. Commercial breaks were at predictable intervals, most messages taking a full minute. How quaint. We don’t have time for such nonsense today. Today I read where the average American spends less than 8 seconds before deciding whether to endure any message – the trivial, the news or the commercial. Dodging boredom by click leads to the boredom of countless clicks. We’re experts juggling remote controls to operate various recording devices to fast forward through anything or skip something entirely (like the final two minutes of the last Chiefs football game). How can America continue to endure baseball? Frankly, we don’t want to be bothered by anything that takes over 10 minutes to resolve. And, heaven forbid, who wants to waste time reading? That kinda flies in the face of the current impeachment process, doesn’t it? (continued on page 3)

One of the joys of our lifestyle

By State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Fall means the beginning of deer season. We will need to be on the lookout for deer on the road for the next several weeks, especially around dawn and dusk. One of the thrills of living in rural Missouri is the chance to get up on a cool fall morning and be in the woods at sunrise to try your luck at bringing home a six or eight-point buck. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) says

deer have been on the increase through most of Missouri, so getting your limit should not be too difficult this year. Safety is one of the most important things to keep in mind before beginning the hunt. Hunters need to ensure they are wearing a hat or cap and shirt, coat or vest that is hunter orange. Camouflage orange is not a substitute. Also remember, people born on or after Jan. 1, 1967, must have taken an approved hunter education program.

The archery season runs from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15 of this year. The main firearms season will be Nov. 16-26. As always, each person is allowed one deer and can be in the woods from 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset. Enjoy the benefits of rural Missouri. Have a good time with the younger kids who may be experiencing their first hunt. But, above all else, practice common sense and follow the rules. That way, we all come out ahead.

Uninsured children in Missouri up by nearly 17% The number of uninsured children increased nationally by more than 400,000 between 2016 and 2018, reversing a longstanding positive trend according to a new report by the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families. Nationwide, more than 4 million children were uninsured in 2018, the highest level since the Affordable Care Act’s coverage expansions took effect in 2014. In Missouri, an estimated 83,000 children were uninsured in 2018, an increase of approximately 17% since 2016. This alarming trend took place during a period of economic growth when children should be gaining health coverage. Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families and a research professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy says “This serious erosion of child health coverage is due in large part to the Trump

Administration’s actions or inactions that have made health coverage harder to access and have deterred families from enrolling their eligible children in Medicaid and CHIP.” The report finds the following factors have contributed to the erosion in children’s health coverage nationwide: efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut Medicaid; delays in funding the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP); elimination of the individual mandate penalty; cuts to enrollment outreach and advertising; inadequate oversight over state Medicaid programs that have created more red tape barriers; and the creation of a climate of fear and confusion for immigrant families that discourages them from enrolling eligible children in Medicaid or CHIP. “This trend is troubling, especially when combined with the 100,000 children

Spike: Wandering (continued from page 2)

Exactly when did America go wrong? Was it in 1915 when Sen. Thomas Marshall quipped, “What this country needs is a good 5-cent cigar?” Or ponder the timeless search for truth. Americans once asked what Jesus would say, then accepted whatever Walter Cronkite would say, and now question everything based on what Facebook says. We don’t have time to shift through the confusion to find truth. We just want the truth our way and we want fast. On the other hand, you’d think we’d had our fill of fast Presidents, right? Yes, there are good reasons my wife prefers a comfortable silence over me blurting out whatever wanders through my mind while driving on the interstate. And now I should apologize to you, too, for letting you see how my mind wanders on the road to nowhere, mindlessly wasting time. Hhhhmm… Will I still have my mind toward the end of my Golden Years or have I already given too many pieces of it away?

are motion detection and some are dawn-to-dusk. Winston has applied for two separate bus grants toward replacing one of its older buses. One grant is though the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the second grant is through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Volkswagen Trust. The district has set funds aside the last several years to match grants for this purchase. The junior high and high school football co-op with Maysville for the 2020-21 school year was approved. The following federal programs appointments were approved: 504 Coordinator & ADA Coordinator, Crystal James; Title IX, Title VII Coordinator, Foster Care, David Rapp; Federal Programs, Title VI, Nondiscrimination Coordinator, Pam Madison. The school board candidate

filing period for the April 7, 2020, election is Dec. 17, 2019, to Jan. 21, 2020. Candidates can file from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. after Dec. 17 and until Jan. 21 on regular school days. This year’s Winston R-6 School District board election will consist of three three-year terms. The terms of current board members Shelly Mason, Karla Youtsey and Jason Estes are up for reelection. Extracurricular duty was approved for the following areas — Football Transportation: Brenda Pliley, Linda Littrell, Vickie France, Lisa O’Dell; Junior High Cheer: Shannon Korthanke; High School Cheer: April Wollam; Elementary Student Ambassadors/ Student Council: Cassie Pope. The board continued their work on setting district goals. The next board meeting is Monday, Nov. 18. The time is yet to be decided, due to basketball tournament games at Winston.

National FFA Chorus has been an amazing experience over the past two years! I have met people from all over the country and experienced once in a lifetime opportunities. Junior year I submitted my audition tape and awaited to hear if I would be accepted into the 2018 National FFA Chorus. In August I was informed that I made it and I was so excited. At the end of October, I traveled to Indianapolis for a week of practicing, performing and making memories. This convention was more than I could have hoped for. I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the country. I performed in front of crowds as big as 15,000 people. It was incredible! I even got the chance to stand on stage with the President of the United States. That

was something I never thought I would be able to do. My first year in choir was so amazing I decided to try out again this year. This year exceeded my expectations. This year we got to perform in Lucas Oil Stadium, home to the Indianapolis Colts. The crowd was almost 30,000 people! It was crazy. I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity and for the people I got to meet. Some of these people I still talk to every day. I strongly recommend this for any FFA member.

East Locust Creek Reservoir Project to receive $13.5 million BUILD Grant Congressman Sam Graves, ranking member for the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced that the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission in Sullivan County has received a Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Transportation Discretionary Grant, or BUILD grant. The North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission will receive a nearly $13.5 million BUILD grant for the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project. Utilizing the BUILD grant, Sullivan County will complete a variety of road projects including Highway N relocation below the East Locust Creek Reservoir dam, Highway VV extension to Knob Hill Road, and 4,000 feet of improvements to intersections and turning lanes on Highway 5.

Farmers Bank provides Segways for veterans Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri is partnering with the Missouri Bankers Association to provide Segways for men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri has donated $5,000 for Segs4Vets, a volunteer program that provides Segway mobile transporters to help severely injured veterans. “We are honored to help the men and women who proudly serve to protect our freedoms. Participating in Segs4Vets gives our bank on behalf of the officers and employees, the opportunity to say thank you to veterans and their families for their sacrifices to keep our nation safe,” said David Tribble, Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri president and CEO. MBA is conducting its 11th fundraising campaign for Segs4Vets, the association’s designated charity. Since 2009, banks in Missouri, their employees and communities, and

MBA associate members have raised more than $623,000 to support Segs4Vets. Donations from MBA members and their communities exceeded $74,000 in 2018. This year’s Segs4Vets goal is $77,000. “Seven is key to this year’s Segs4Vets campaign,” said Max Cook, MBA president and CEO. “We can purchase seven Segways for $77,000 if we reach our 2019 goal, and this will push Segs4Vets donations from MBA and our members past $700,000!” Launched in 2005, Segs4Vets is a grassroots program administered by volunteers. The cost to provide a Segway is more than $10,000. The cost for an ALLY chair, a modified Segway chair, is $15,000. For every $1 donated, 98¢ supports Segs4Vets’ mission — helping severely injured men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to choose the path of independence and to remain productive members of

society. “Every year, I tell bankers how much I am amazed at their generosity to support our veterans through Segs4Vets,” Cook said. “I am proud of Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri’s commitment to support the men and women who make sacrifices to support our freedoms.” “When men and women serving our nation suffer serious injury and permanent disability, they must have resources and tools that help them live independently and contribute to society,” said Jerry Kerr, president and co-founder of Segs4Vets. “Segs4Vets empowers these men and women, giving them a new outlook on life.” Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri is a progressive financial institution with eight locations in northern Missouri and southern Iowa specializing in consumer, commercial, and agricultural accounts and loans.

Daviess County Nursing & Rehab holiday events by Jennie Pankau, LPN/MBA-LNHA, Administrator

The residents at Daviess County Nursing & Rehab had a wonderful summer and fall. We enjoyed being a part of several community events. Parades were a top favorite for sure. We had hundreds of trick-ortreaters visit us for Halloween; we almost ran out of candy. We truly appreciate all the local organizations and individuals who donated candy for this event; we gave out over 10,000 pieces of candy in just two hours. We are gearing up for winter and all the holiday celebrations that come with it. We are planning to have a holiday dinner for the residents and their families on Dec. 7. We are also going to have a big Thanksgiving feast and a Christmas party with Santa Claus for all of the residents. We are anxious to begin decorating our facility for this festive season. We will be selling flavored popcorn the first week of December to earn money for the Residents Activities Fund. This fund is used for large purchases for the residents’ enjoyment. In the past we have purchased patio furniture and a big screen TV from the fund. We also use some of this money to help with the annual Easter egg hunt and Halloween events. Please check our Facebook page to see the information about the popcorn sales that are sponsored by Law Farms in King City. The library has begun hosting a “Memory Keepers” activity on the first Tuesday of each month. This activity has been a wonderful way for family members and residents with memory problems to interact and work together on a fun project. If you or a group that you know of would be willing to come to the facility for a music program, the residents have asked that we try to line up more music presentations. We would also love to have a weekly Bible study hosted by someone local on Thursday mornings. We are hoping to have more volunteers from the community come to the facility to visit and hold activities. Activities with our community make our facility a home; residents truly enjoy being a part of their community even after moving to a nursing facility.

Ongoing bridge work routes DD & J According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, two bridges in Daviess County continued to be closed. Route B is closed for bridge reconstruction at the I-35 overpass through early December; Route DD is closed for bridge rehabilitation at the Interstate 35 overpass through early December. Route J will be closed for a culvert replacement at Vow Avenue on Nov. 13. Inclement weather and continued flooding may cause schedule changes in some of the planned work. There may also be moving operations throughout the region such as pothole patching, striping, and signal work, in addition to the work mentioned above. All work is weather permitting and subject to change.

Donate peanut butter for Backpack Buddies

The Gallatin National Honor Society chapter is partnering with the Backpack Buddies program. The program sends home food each weekend to needy children in the Gallatin school. The goal of NHS is to collect at least 100 jars of peanut butter so that each backpack buddy can receive a jar of peanut butter each semester. Members chose peanut butter because it is a high source of potassium as well as protein. It can also lower the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Peanut butter was also a repeated request from the students receiving backpacks; however, it is hard to provide financially. If you would like to help NHS with their cause, members of the Gallatin chapter will go door-todoor from 7-8 p.m. on Nov. 21 collecting unopened jars of peanut butter as well as other non-perishable food items. Please leave lights on outside your house as members come to collect your donations that night. NHS members will also be taking donations at the middle school home basketball game against Albany on Nov. 22. Feel free to drop donations by at any time that night. If neither of those times work for you and you’d still like to help out, please contact NHS Adviser Becky Adkison at 660-663-2171.

Property question resolved by Altamont board members A local property owner addressed the Altamont Board of Trustees at their Oct. 13 meeting with follow-up information concerning a property line and street shown as vacated on her property. She presented information from a local title company showing a boundary perimeter of said parcel and tax receipts for many years to show ownership. She asked the board whether the platted street has to be closed if it was never opened. The title company had advised no ownership search was required since she and a co-owner have paid taxes on it throughout the current ownership. The board consensus was that there is no need to do a closing process for the street, based upon information that had been presented to them. Roger Price informed the board that Finch had completed the well closing per DNR speciﬁcations and an invoice is pending. Trustees reviewed the agenda and agreed to accept as submitted. There was no enforcement information to report.

Snow removal bids were mentioned, and the clerk will run an ad with specific request for bid requirements, with a deadline for receipt of sealed bids to be at 3 p.m. on Nov. 10. Bids will be opened and read during the next regular board meeting. There were no public comments. Work order procedures were briefly discussed regarding installations. The minutes of the Sept. 8 meeting, the financial report, and the expense report were approved by the board.

Former secretary/treasurer indicted for stealing from Plattsburg Road District The former secretary/treasurer of the Plattsburg Special Road District was indicted by a federal grand jury on Nov. 12 for stealing from the agency. Ava Lea Langner, 58, Lathrop, was charged with theft from an agency receiving federal funds in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City. According to a public report issued by the Missouri State Auditor, at least $286,615 was misappropriated from the district from 2011 to 2018. The indictment alleges that Langner stole more than $5,000 from the road district from May 1, 2016, to April 30, 2017. Langner allegedly made unauthorized payments to her personal business, Langner Enterprises,

LLC, to her personal credit card, and to other vendors for personal expenses. Langner was able to write checks, electronically transfer funds, and otherwise make payments using funds from a checking account owned by the road district. The charge contained in this indictment is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charge must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Leigh Farmakidis and Thomas M. Larson. It was investigated by the FBI, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the Missouri State Auditor.
