Neglect cited in bathtub death of toddler in Altamont last year A 25-year-old Florida woman has been charged in the death of her two-year-old daughter last year in Altamont. Susan Phelps, Cocoa, Fla., was charged June 15 with abuse or neglect of a child resulting in death, A felony, in Daviess County.

According to the probable cause statement, Phelps placed her two-year-old daughter in a bathtub at 310 Altamont Street in Altamont on April 14, 2016. She left the child unattended in the bathtub, which contained approximately five inches of soapy water, for a period of time.

Phelps returned to the bathroom and found the child unresponsive. The statement was prepared by Kimberly Grebner, an investigator with the Missouri State Technical Assistance Team, on June 14, 2017.

The child, Semya Kelly, was pronounced dead at Cameron Regional Medical Center. An autopsy determined that the circumstances supported a diagnosis of drowning, and further asserted that the death was directly related to the neglectful act of Phelps leaving her child unattended.

An obituary on the child’s death, previously published in the Gallatin North Missourian, identified the victim’s parents as James Kelly and Susan Phelps. The child has grandparents, an GPC GALLATIN aunt and an©uncle livingPUBLISHING in Altamont,CO. and a grandmother who resides in Florida.

The child’s remains were cremated by McWilliams Funeral Home in Gallatin.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Susan Phelps, with bond set at $100,000. No court dates have been set.

Access II cuts local services, remains open Effective July 1, the Access II Independent Living Center in Gallatin is dropping some services and limiting many others due to drastic budget cuts affecting similar centers across the state.

Last month state legislators voted to cut funding by more than $1.8 million statewide. The decision impacts all 22 centers throughout Missouri. Previously these centers split $4.8 million in funding.

In addition to this 40% reduction in annual operating funds, even more budget cuts potentially loom depending on Gov. Eric

Greitens. If HCB 3 is vetoed, Access II will lose additional funding for programs and services.

Services that will no longer offered locally by the non-profit organization, effective July 1, are as follows: child advocacy services, consumer assistance fund requests, home modifications, and bullying presentations.

Other services will now be limited, including: transportation services, durable medical equipment, telephones for the hard of hearing (TAP), assistive technology, and benefits planning.

After this year, Access II will

also be cutting several community events including the Daviess County Back-to-School Bash and participation in the Regional Transition Network Transition Skills Day. Despite these cuts, Access II will remain open. The center will continue to provide consumer directed services, in-home services, employment services, and ...69¢ deliveredhealth department of mental anywhere in Missouri contracted services. if you subscribe!

Simmons places second in Missouri Junior Match Play Tourney

Gallatin R-5 senior Jett Simmons finished second out of 32 golfers last week in the 2017 Missouri Junior Golf Match Play Tournament held at the Eldon Country Club in Eldon, MO. Simmons won four matches, www.NorthMissourian.com — FREE with your print subscription advancing from the round of 32, before falling to Hank Lierz of St. Joseph, 3 and 2.

In match play, scoring is based on the number of holes won during a round, as opposed to the number of strokes accumulated. A final score of 3 and 2 means that Lierz had a threestroke lead with two holes remaining and the match ended after 16 holes.

Simmons and Lierz (Bishop LeBlond), both members of Missouri high school championship teams, are competing this week in the Missouri Amateur Championship at St. Joseph Country Club in St. Joseph.

Mary Immaculate Church raises big money for Active Aging Center, Backpack Buddies

by Troy Lesan

It’s no overstatement to say the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Auction is a big deal. In the past, it has helped pay off the church’s remodeling project, built a rectory, and other upkeep projects.

Courthouse not entirely smoke free Smoking in the 911 room was the subject of discussion during the meeting of the Daviess County Central 911 Board held May 25.

The Daviess County Commissioners received a complaint from a courthouse employee on May 10. Commissioners referred the complaint to the 911 Board.

In 1997, the courthouse was ordered a smoke-free building by the commission, with the south entryway designated as the smoking area.

However, the 911 office was exempted from this no-smoking order.

When the 911 office was established in 1993, an agreement was struck that the office would purchase its own commercial exhaust fan to expel the air to the outside. This was done because the dispatchers are not allowed to leave their phones and sometimes there is only one dispatcher on duty.

The board told commissioners that the 911 em-

75¢

ployees will ensure the exhaust fan is turned on in the future, and the office door closed.

The commissioners agreed to the installation of a seal around the 911 office door.

911 Supervisor Dana Carder said of the seven employees in the 911 office, two smoke.

The 911 Board noted that there are ashtrays at every entrance of the courthouse and it was possible the smoke smell could be coming from citizens stubbing out their smokes as they came into the courthouse, especially on those days when the doors are propped open. Those ashtrays may need to be relocated.

In other business, Supervisor Carder advised that liability insurance has increased to $6,565. She also informed the board that all employees would be receiving their Emergency (continued on page 10)

Over 400 people attended the event last Saturday, June 17, under a big tent at Lake Viking.

Proceeds are to fund a major parking expansion for the church located in Gallatin.

Tradition has benefits. Auction organizers have a good system built upon the extremely hard work in lining up patrons, donors, and -- most importantly -- participants.

As a result, the quality of donated items that were bid upon was extraordinary: starting with things as small as a pennants, tire rotations, and watering cans all the way upward to the larger items such as 8 slabs of barbeque ribs (smoked & delivered), an airplane ride, four baseball game tickets to the Royals Diamond Club area, two tickets to a Notre Dame vs. USC football game -- even an adorable pedigreed Golden Retriever puppy delivered with some veterinary services.

As impressive as this array of items to be auctioned was, everything relied on a good auctioneer.

Mary Immaculate definitely has

its man in Mark Leggett.

Mark’s prowess was never more apparent than when it came time for “Fund-A-Need.”

Perhaps it’s less challenging or even easy to auction off baseball tickets and such to a cause where the bidder personally benefits.

But the “Fund-A-Need” proposed to split a designated auction item between Gallatin Active Aging Resource Center and Back-Pack Buddies, a program to help hungry school children in Gallatin.

Volunteer auctioneer Mark Leggett had been on a roll and decided to start high: “Will anyone give $1,000 to “Fund a Need?”

At first there was no response.

“Do I hear a bid for $750?” Complete silence. Then: “How about a gift of $500?”

It was like an alarm went off.

One bid, then a second, then another, and another. When the flurry of bidding was over, it was calculated that over $12,000 had been raised for AARC and Backpack Buddies (donations are still being added, and the final count may increase significantly). (continued on page 10)

Takin’ off the towels

by F rei d a M ari e C ru m p

Which came first:

Good Road Days or Chautauqua?

In a few days some households will get excited as a new hot asphalt decking will convert curb-less, potholed roadways into a fine, smooth street surface.

It’s happened before. Streets repaved in recent years here are in stark contrast to the majority of others in need of repair. But we’re making progress.

In last April’s election voters renewed the sales tax necessary to continue Gallatin’s street improvement program by nearly a 5-to-1 majority!

This year Johnson and Jackson Streets are the targets. Even if your household is one waiting for your turn, everyone seems pleased and feels a sense of pride as our town systematically works to improve itself.

We tend to take things for granted, even gripe when decisions don’t go our way. So, perhaps it’s worth a moment to reflect on ways past.

Good roads have always been a problem. Consider this summary of news accounts once published by the North Missourian during the summer of 1913 (the quotes that follow are reprinted from an article headlined by “Many Excuses Are Offered”).

In 1913 Missouri Gov. Elliott W. Major issued a proclamation setting apart two days in August when every able-bodied resident in the towns and rural areas of the state were to render personal assistance in improving the highways. At least 300,000 men were expected to respond and put two days hard work on the roads. Many of these people were willing to furnish teams and machinery.

The work of 300,000 men for two days would be equivalent to 6,000 days work. Young boys were also expected to turn out for the endeavor.

The governor provided ample notice so that local authorities in every community could be prepared to handle the great throng of volunteer road workers. Gov. Major proposed personally to pick up a pick and shovel for one new highway project near Jefferson City, and he expected every state official to do the same.

As with all proposals, this program prompted vocal opposition.

By coincidence, the announced days for Road Days conflicted with the popular Chautauqua

held in Gallatin. Thus, locally at least, some people had to choose between which event they would support. Some of the excuses, complaints and sentiments were as follows:

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

• “I believe Gov. Major struck upon a brilliant idea when he issued his road proclamation setting apart Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 21-22, and known as ‘Good Roads Days.’ Every able bodied man in the rural districts and the cities of the state were requested to put in these days work on the public highways.”

• “I do not intend to work on the roads. I pay my taxes and will not give any help to a major advertising scheme.”

• “If Elliott W. would furnish me with a gold sledge and plenty of ice water, I might take a onehour twirl on some smooth road close to my home.”

• “Work on the roads during the Chautauqua? Not for me.

The governor should have been a little more considerate in selecting the dates.”

• “Major’s road proclamation is the first good move he’s made since he became governor. I’ve applied for the boss of the gang in which Matt Givens is going to work.”

• “I’d gladly work on the roads if my wife would let me. She says I work at home and that word “nik” is a word on the outside of free labor.”

• My wife would not consent.

She says if she’d pass along and see me working, it’d remind her of a prisoner — ball and chain — and she couldn’t bear me in that condition.”

• “I can never tell in the morning what I will do before night. I might cast a bit of mother earth to the side.”

• “If it is cool and pleasant on the morning of the 20th, I may run out in my automobile and see a few of the boys work.” Major doesn’t want any loafers watching the other men work,” replied

the questioner. “Oh, well, I won’t go out then.”

• “I fully intended to work until the governor came out with his second notice asking that the women in the districts aid in the cause by furnishing the workers with lunches and encouraging them with their presence and good cheer. Their good cheer would make me so sad I wouldn’t do any work.”

• “I’m not able bodied, so that lets me out.”

• “Major’s work proclamation is the first good move he’s made since his road proposition and I intend to get all the men out to work.”

• “As far as I’m concerned, I won’t be able to work on account of other matters demanding my attention.”

• “The governor estimates that work worth a million and a half will result. Let’s hope so. But even this amount won’t justify interference with our great Chautauqua.”

T

imes change, but people are ...well, people. We like to recall the good ol’ days when neighbors always(?) helped neighbors, when folks went out of their way to help each other, when the common good always(?) rallied over private complaint.

What response do you think Gov. Greitens might get today if, like Gov. Major, he balanced state budgets by depending on us citizens to volunteer for manual labor to build roads?

As the dog days of summer approached over 100 years ago, there was confusion over what would and wouldn’t happen to our roads, many of these still in use across Missouri today. And, specifically, this included some roads right here in Daviess County where some folks were more interested in “dancing on the streets” than fixing them.

After much complaining from a large number of people concerning the conflict between the dates of the Chautauqua and Good Roads Day, it was decided to change the road days to Aug. 13-14. On those days the road captains assembled men in gangs and used automobiles to take the workers to their various locations where the pick and shovel played an important part. (continued on page 3)

Greetings from Poosey.

He stood there in our living room looking for all the world like a drowned Hawaiian water rat. “Whatta you think, Freida?”

When I married Herb he was a scrawny little bit of nothing, but years on the farm had toned him into a satisfactory handful of useful sinew that could stand passable examination, and when he decided to dress up, with my help, he was accepted in most civilized company. Well, honey, times change and so do we. Now I only hope to keep his body covered as much as and as often as possible. So, when my husband took it upon himself to buy a new pair of swim trunks for our week in the Ozarks, I began searching for the phone number to cancel the reservations.

“Herb, we haven’t been swimming in 20 years.”

“But you never know when the urge will hit me.”

“I know when I’m going to hit you... when you go out in public wearing those things. Have you seen the people who go swimming at our ‘Chateau de Prune Juice?” Herb, I can’t even walk by the pool when some of those unclad bodies start taking off their towels.”

“Freida, you don’t have any spirit of adventure.”

“Maybe not, but I’ve got eyes.

Herbie, some of those old codgers have enough wrinkles to hold a three-day rain.”

Actually, it’s not the wrinkles that bother me; it’s the large amount of acreage that some folks try to squeeze into a small corral of a bathing suit. Did they do away with mirrors in the changing rooms? Don’t misunderstand me, I’m a large-framed gal myself and I respect the new trend toward finding beauty in even the most overflowing of figures, but just because you own a ranch that doesn’t mean I want to see the whole thing today.

“Herb, let’s just settle for a nice dinner somewhere in Branson and skip the swimming.”

“How do you expect me to keep a body like this in shape stuffing myself with Crab Rangoon at an Oriental buffet instead of doing jump squats down by the pool??”

“Herb, you have neither jumped nor squatted since you tried to rewire our microwave last winter. Eat your Rangoon one at time so you’ll have to get up more often. I am not packing that God-awful-looking swimsuit.”

“Then I’ll have to wear it on the trip down.”

“You get out to pump gas wearing those things and they’ll have an all-points-bulletin posted on us before we cross the Missouri River.”

Sadly, our combined problems of overweight bodies and the trend to wearing fewer clothes in public have become the “perfect storm” of embarrassment to anyone with even a modicum of modesty. I sometimes wish that supermarkets and big box retailers would do away with the bottom shelving when I see some barely dressed patron bend over to display what looks like the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, and although Herb’s backside more closely resembles the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl, I dread the thought of my own husband putting on such a geographical demonstration in public.

Delmonico’s, the famous New York dining spot used to have a full-length mirror installed in the restaurant’s entryway. The original owner, Oscar Tucci, paid big bucks for his guests to be greeted with a likeness of themselves surrounded by gold plating. When Oscar flipped his last steak and passed on to that great kitchen in the sky his son Mario had the mirror removed.

He said, “It doesn’t help sell food when the customers get a good look at themselves before they order.” Maybe that’s what we need. More mirrors.

“I’m serious, Herb. I know that we’re among strangers in the Ozarks, but we’ve still got to maintain our sense of decency.

Could you at least wait to swim until after ten at night?”

“I’m asleep after 10 at night.”

“I know.”

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Securing Northwest Missouri’s future… what is your role?

Americans have created, invested, and multiplied unprecedented private wealth following the Great Depression and World War ll. Over the next 50 years, this capital – a conservative estimate of $56.3 trillion – will change hands.

In 50 years, $51.37 billion will transfer in Northwest Missouri alone and most of those dollars will change hands between now and 2060. Some will certainly go to heirs, (and taxes), but a portion may be preserved as your legacy to the future of Northern Missouri. Retaining a slice of

“For a community to prosper and grow, it must be able to retain and build on the wealth that is created within its area. Often, when businesses are merged or sold, the wealth they have generated here leaves the area, taking with them the community support that they formerly contributed. This new foundation will provide individuals, businesses, and others with the opportunity to leave a lasting gift for the benefit of designated area charitable organizations. Money earned here stays here!”

t’s officially summer today: eet someone

by R ebec c a F renc h S m i t h

I’m addicted to agriculture. I am guilty of taking photos of soybean fields after the young plants have popped up in straight rows, posting them to Instagram and hashtagging them #babies.

My favorite posts often involve some exotic-looking prepared dish, a thriving crop or a #ruralMissouri discussion thread. And, I love touring farms of a wide range of agriculture production practices.

Farming across the United States can be vastly different and incredibly similar simultaneously, and nothing beats being able to learn about it firsthand.

Recently, I had the opportunity to tour farms near Pittsburgh, PA, to make new friends and to discover the ingenuity of those farmers to make their businesses sustainable for generations.

Near Pittsburgh, hills and forests dominate the landscape and farmers carve out their living amongst them. I kept comparing it to what I know of home.

It was somewhat similar to the Ozark hills in which I grew up where livestock reigns, but a stark contrast to Missouri’s northern, central and southeastern corn, soy, rice and cotton fields, open wide as far as the eye can see at times.

The issues farmer Art King faces at Harvest Valley Farm near Valencia, PA, concerning labor, pests, logistics and markets, are similar to the issues farmers face here.

At Soergel Orchards in Wexford, the Soergel family focuses on economic sustainability and has mastered agritourism offerings to become a destination for locals and tourists alike. A family farm since 1850, they must be doing something right.

Both tours were exemplary of modern farmers’ ability and drive to be sustainable on economic and environmental levels, and of course, I documented the visits on Instagram. After all, who can resist a photo op in the most beautiful cucumber “forest” greenhouse or at the counter in a cider house where sample spigots see a lot of action.

I tell you this story in hopes it might encourage you to get out this summer and find out more about agriculture from the people who are knee- and elbowdeep in it. They put in long hours and immense effort in not only growing food but also growing their businesses in sustainable ways they can be proud of and can pass down to the next generation.

So, it’s officially, finally summer. The first day of the season hits today, June 21 — the longest day of the year. Gardens are coming in, and farmers’ markets are in full swing. It’s agriculture’s time to shine. Get out there and meet someone.

their entire lives close to their birthplace. As wealth passed from one generation to the next, most stayed in the same area.

This is no longer true and, once the wealth leaves our communities, it may never return. People are more mobile than they once were and may move out of the area where they have made their wealth.

You’ve lived here… you’ve worked here… Northwest Missouri has been good to you… you can give back!

By securing 5% of the Transfer of Wealth, you can provide a stronger future for Northwest Missouri. If our region can reach the goal of preserving at least 5% of the estimated transfer of wealth for our communities – in 50 years, we will have built a $5 billion fund that will generate millions every year for Northwest Missouri communities and projects… FOREVER!

Much of the wealth in Northwest Missouri is currently invested in family homes and farms, retirement accounts and other appreciated accounts – some of which may be heavily taxed if given to heirs. By designating a portion of your estate good works, you can endow a charitable fund at The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri.

This fund will bear the name

of your choice forever and will establish a permanent legacy to help build a stronger community.

Talk to us and your professional advisor to learn about giving options and the advantages to you and your heirs. Join other community minded citizens who are making a difference in Northwest Missouri by helping secure future and building stronger communities for generations to come.

Access II funding decrease impacts service (continued from page 1) and tax processing service. The Independent Living Center is currently looking for businesses that need help processing payroll.

“The payroll processing and tax service would be for the community as a whole, not just the disabled,” said Jessica Adkins, Marketing and Development Director at Access II in Gallatin.

Businesses that need help with bookkeeping could utilize Access II to get their employees paid and to process the taxes for their employees. Interested business owners should contact Access II to provide necessary information such as benefits and hours worked. Access II would then perform direct deposit or rapid pay card for the business’s employees. Access II would also be responsible for processing the taxes and sending out W-2’s to employees.

“The goal of the business payroll and tax processing is to raise enough funds from that service to restore the services we have to cut,” said Ms. Adkins.

Access II has been providing free services and programs to the disabled and elderly since 1995. The local office serves an eight-county coverage area. Last

year the center provided over 17,000 services to people with disabilities.

Access II will try to refer people to other community organizations who may or may not be able to meet their needs. Unfortunately, Access II is the only local provider for most of services that are being dropped.

Spike: Roads to progress (continued from page 2 ) A final account published in August was headlined “Some Good Road Work Done.” But what does say about that adage in the old timer’s bible demanding work before play? We can’t even use this final accounting as a happy ending because, obviously, repairing and replacing roads is never-ending.

Ah... the good ol’ days. But, in many respects, not everything

about yesteryears was really so good ...or, certainly, not so easy.

What actually happened is not exactly as we prefer or choose to remember.

Progress has always been a struggle. The work is in deciding what’s worth the effort and taking on the responsibilities to follow through. The struggle is never-ending. Progress has a price.

Some things never change.

Special Session #2: Updating Missouri’s abortion law time, the Senate has passed the initial bill, and the House will start considering it on June 19. The Senate bill, SB5, addresses six aspects of abortion: 1) It clarifies the definition of an abortion clinic in comparison to an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). An ASC conducts outpatient surgeries, such as cataract removal, spinal pain relief, or facelifts.

The invasiveness of an abortion can be as medically dangerous as any ASC procedure, so similar quality and safety regulations should be in place for the health of the patient.

2) It defines that abortion clinics are subject to unannounced annual safety inspections.

3) It establishes procedures for the examination of the tissue acquired in abortion to insure the abortion was complete, no body parts were kept for profit by the

by S t at e R ep . J . E g g l est on

As I write this, Special Session #2 called by Gov. Greitens to address issues pertaining to abortion is half over. By the time you read this in your local paper, it will likely be fully over. Here’s an update of what has transpired so far.

Because a federal judge ruled a Texas law (which was nearly identical to our Missouri law) treating abortion clinics similar to ambulatory surgical centers in regards to safety regulations, and because St. Louis passed a city ordinance making it what has been called an abortion sanctuary city, the governor felt it necessary to call us back into session to deal with the issue now rather than wait to deal with it in next year’s regular session.

In the first Special Session, the House took the lead on the issue. The House passed a bill and sent it to the Senate. This

clinic, and no diseases were present.

4) It pre-empts the St. Louis abortion sanctuary city ordinance.

5) It sets policies for whistleblower protections in case an abortion clinic worker wishes to report a violation.

6) It establishes that the prosecutor in the case of any criminal violation of abortion law would be the Attorney General.

SB5 passed out of the Senate 20-8 on June 15. All Republicans in attendance voted for it, and all Democrats voted against. The House will hear SB5 in two committees June 19. I plan to sit in on the first committee hearing (Children & Families), and am a voting member of the second (Rules-Legislative Oversight). The bill was slagted to have been discussed by the full House on June 20.

There is little doubt that SB5 will pass the House. What is uncertain is whether

In 1972, the US Supreme Court ruled in Roe v Wade that abortion was legal. This was in an era before smart phones, Facebook, and Twitter; a time before today’s advanced MRIs, ultrasounds, and studies of fetal cognition and pain.

Like it or not, no state can implement a law abolishing abortion. That can only happen with a future Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade. But states are allowed to define a framework of laws regulating how, when, and where abortions are performed. SB5 will update Missouri’s laws in that regard.

They have no president, no dues, and no real organization of any kind. Nor do they meet up and ride in large groups – they each make their

own way and meet at their destination. They are as eclectic as the bikes they ride which range from 200cc motor scooters and large touring bikes and trikes, to antique and futuristic bikes.

Their common bond is they all love motorcycles and they all like to eat. Small towns are chosen because they are off the interstates and usually with something of interest nearby, and offer good home cooking. Plus the club enjoys supporting their local rural economies.

Libby Endicott

Teens gather for 72nd state 4-H congress Teens from across Missouri, including Libby Endicott, the daughter of Alicia and Cory Endicott, from Daviess County, gathered on the University of Missouri campus May 31 through June 2 for the 72nd annual State 4-H Congress. In all, 240 teens ages 14-18 participated in a variety of hands-on workshops that fit their interests. Choices included topics such as interview skills, electricity, leadership studies, dance, and nutrition.

“Youth in 4-H get to explore a wide variety of skills and interests,” said Becky Simpson, Daviess County 4-H Youth Development Specialist. “State 4-H Congress is a place where teens can belong, become better leaders, and explore careers as they enjoy life on a university campus.”

Delegates also worked to set priorities for the 36 peers they elected to represent their regions on Missouri’s State 4-H Council for the coming year, outlining youth-identified goals for the next three to five years. The State 4-H Council represents their voice at the state level, working as ambassadors of 4-H and representatives of the youth in their regions.

According to research, youth in 4-H are more likely than their peers to pursue careers in science, attend college, and contribute to their communities.

The following is a listing of general highway maintenance and construction work in the Daviess County region planned for the week of June 19 – 25 from the Missouri Department of Transportation: U.S. Route 69 – From Route 6 to Route C for pavement repair, June 19 – 23; Route 190 – From Route 6 to Route U for a resurfacing project, June 19 – 24. A pilot car will be in place to help guide motorists through the work zone.

In addition to the work listed, there may be pothole patching, bridge maintenance, striping, brush cutting, guardrail repairs and other road work conducted throughout the region. Many of these will be moving operations and could include lane closures with delays. All scheduled maintenance and construction projects are subject to change.

MoDOT reminds the public to stay alert, watch for road work, buckle up, slow down, and drive with extreme caution through work zones and in changing weather conditions.

Bennett earns degree

Beginning July 1, deer hunters can apply online through the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) website for a shot at more than 100 managed deer hunts throughout the state for archery, muzzleloading, and modern firearms from mid-September through mid-January at conservation areas, state and other parks, national wildlife refuges, and other public areas.

Some managed hunts are held specifically for youth or for people with disabilities.

The managed deer hunt application period is July 1 - 31. HuntC ers are selected by a weighted

Nearly 600 candidates, including Charles Bennett of Jamesport with a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering, received degrees during commencement ceremonies held on May 13 at Missouri University of Science and Technology. The university awards Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

Agronomy expert says delayed hay harvest calls for testing University of Missouri Extension agronomy specialist Anthony Ohmes says farmers benefit from routine hay testing.

Hay quality varies based on forage species, maturity, management, harvest conditions, and insect or disease damage.

Guessing the quality of hay fed to livestock could result in lower profits, Ohmes says. Knowing the hay’s nutrient value can help livestock owners decide if animals need supplements.

Ohmes suggests that farmers sample each lot separately.

A lot comes from the same field and forage makeup, and is grown and harvested under the same environmental conditions. “Every field and cutting will be different,” Ohmes says.

Use a 12- to 24-inch hay probe,

he says. It should be 3/8 to 5/8 of an inch in diameter. Do not grab or hand pull samples. Samples collected that way do not provide uniform results and could lead to misleading values.

Sample multiple bales out of a hay lot. The lot should represent at least 10 percent, or at least 15 random bales.

The sampling method varies for each bale type. On large round bales, take samples on the curved side of the bale and remove the outer layer if moldy.

Avoid sampling from the outside of the bale. On large square bales, take samples at a 45-degree angle on the side of the bale or 90-degree angle on the end of the bale. Sample small square bales through the center and end.

Keep each lot separate, Ohm-

es says. Mix samples in a bucket and fill a quart plastic bag. Samples perish quickly, so send them to the lab on the same day as the PopcIfornthis sampling. a Cookin' is not possible, keep samples away from direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place until sending. Freeze highmoisture samples (above 15 percent) such as baleage or silage if they cannot be sent right away.

Mark the sample by date, cutting, location and owner before shipping. Some MU Extension centers lend probes at no cost.

Find information on hay sampling at crops.missouri.edu/forage. Hay tests cost about $20 each at certified labs throughout the state. You can find information on how to read results at extension.missouri.edu/aginfocus/ forage-testing.aspx.

Deaths

B etty L ou F razi er T erry A celebration of life for Betty “Cox” Terry will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, June 24, at the Lions Club Building in Gallatin. Desserts and drinks will be served.

Betty Lou Frazier Terry, 84, Gallatin, died June 4, 2017, at Kansas City Hospice House. Private family burial was at White Chapel Memorial Gardens.

MFA Hamilton Rail Facility unveiled; 110-car shuttle train capacity Officials say 420,000 bushels of corn (or 380,000 bushes of soybeans) can be loaded in less than 8 hours Farmers, industry representatives and media got their first glance inside the new MFA Hamilton Rail Facility with a twoday open house June 20-21. Under construction for the past year, the rail facility is MFA’s largest single investment in real dollars in any geographic region. It is a joint venture between MFA Incorporated, a grain marketing and farm supply cooperative, and MFA Oil Company, a farmerowned energy supply cooperative.

Guests at the open house had a chance to hear from company officials, see grain receiving demonstrations and take tours of the newly completed facility.

“As a cooperative, our core purpose is to contribute to the success of both our member owners and their communities.

That has been a constant for over 100 years,” MFA Incorporated CEO Ernie Verslues said.

“Our long history is proof that we have constantly reinvented ourselves over time and continued to invest in the future. This facility is the latest example of that commitment.”

Located on Highway 36 in Caldwell County, the shuttle-loader facility takes advantage of an improved four-lane highway, proximity to north-south traffic on Interstate 35 and direct access to the Union Pacific Railroad.

With a rail siding to accommodate a 110-car “shuttle” train, the facility is also known as a “loop-loader” because the track is in a circle connected to the main line. Railroads prefer to load grain via the shuttle method for ease of movement

from a point of origin to a destination.

Officials say size and efficiency for a growing grain industry are the objectives of the facility, which can move 60,000 bushels per hour as farmers deliver grain.

A 110-car shuttle train will hold approximately 420,000 bushels of corn or 380,000 bushels of soybeans and can be loaded in fewer than eight hours.

The operation will position MFA to potentially reduce truck traffic by as much as 14 million bushels of grain annually.

The facility will provide new efficiencies for MFA Incorporated’s grain division as well as access to large and diverse markets such as exporters, poultry and cattle operations, and other end users of grain in areas that stretch from the Gulf Coast to the West Coast and Mexico. It will benefit farmers in north central Missouri and southern Iowa by providing them a modern, high-speed grain facility to deliver crops and quickly unload during peak seasons.

“The grain business, as well as the grain farmer, continue to evolve in Missouri. At MFA, we have to evolve as well,” said Mitch Dawson, MFA Incorporated director of grain operations.

“Our new Hamilton shuttle-loader positions us to hit new markets that were not economically feasible before due to freight costs and volume shipment requirements. It shows that MFA is in the grain business for the long haul.”

While the Hamilton facility is designed to move grain rather than store it, there are 2 million bushels of permanent grain

storage and 1.5 million bushels of temporary storage on site. This can help relieve harvest-time pressure on existing MFA grain-receiving facilities in the region.

“There is a lot of grain produced in north central and northwest Missouri, and harvest is a critical time for farmers,” said Adam McIntyre, regional manager for MFA locations in the area. “During highvolume periods, we can move grain from smaller elevators to the shuttle loader to keep local storage capacity available.”

The joint venture between MFA Incorporated and MFA Oil Company brings resources and expertise from both cooperatives and a significant investment in local communities. The facility will be operated

by MFA Incorporated with seven full-time employees, including Manager David Jones, and offer seasonal part-time jobs as demand grows.

For more information, visit http://www. mfarailfacility.com.

Richard Fordyce, who farms near Bethany, was among the first to deliver grain to the MFA Rail Facility on Highway 36 east of Hamilton, Mo. Fordyce said he was impressed with high-speed unloading capacity and automated grain testing capabilities at the facility.

Beware! S

cam m er s in the ar ea, r ep or ted b y G r een Hil l s C om m unications Green Hills Communications reported a scam to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office earlier this week.

Green Hills Communications, located in Breckenridge, delivers communication services, including internet, TV programming, and voice service.

Salesmen are going door-to-door in the Green Hills Communications’ service areas claiming to be working with Green Hills to repackage services, such as television and internet. The scammers will ask for private information and payment information.

Green Hills wants its customers to be aware that these individuals are not affiliated with their company. Green Hills’ representatives that come to your house will be in Green Hills’ attire, have a Green Hills labeled vehicle, and would never ask for payment or private information such as account numbers, social security numbers, etc. while at your house.

If you feel that you have been a victim of fraud, please call the Missouri Consumer Protection hotline at 800-392-8222 for more information about filing a complaint.

Mary Immaculate fundraiser ( continu e d f r om

p a g e 1 )

Overall, this year’s fundraising auction was a staggering success. Proceeds are still rolling in from the 375 items auctioned.

The final amount will probably double the take from previous Mary Immaculate auctions.

This is possibly the largest one-day fundraising event in county history. When Active Aging Administrator Deanna Lewis was notified of her $6,000+ gift, she was incredulous. There have been many fundraisers for the AARC in Gallatin, all good and very appreciated. But to Deanna’s recollection, this is definitely the largest.

In Proverbs 24, God asks you and me a very significant difficult to answer question with eternal consequences. We should consider our answer very carefully. We also ought to understand that our answers are not given so much by our words but with our future actions.

Proverbs 24:11-12, "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?" (NIV) Every single Christian whom I know, would say that God sees all and knows all, that nothing is hidden from Him. However, much of the time, our lives do not reflect that confession of words. Weakened by our own fleshly desires, we give in to any number of temptations moment by moment. Our actions indicate, maybe even prove, that we really do not believe that God is aware of exactly what we are up to.

Perhaps we don't really believe that last part of verse 12, that God intends to repay each person according to what he/she has done. We better believe that. That idea is all over both the Old and New Testaments. Job, Proverbs, Matthew, Romans Galatians, 1 Corinthians, Revelation, etc. all clearly indicate an accounting of our earthly actions.

But what is God's point here in this particular passage? What can He mean by "rescuing those staggering toward the slaughter?" It seems to me that God is pointing out to us the absolutely imperative need for us to be involved in personal evangelism.

Who fits the description of "staggering toward the slaughter" better than the lost?

The person who lives without Christ is certainly staggering toward the slaughter. The person who dies without Christ is certainly being "led away to death" and be assured that it will be unending separation from God. Do not be deceived into thinking that this "death" will resemble sleep or any other experience in this current life.

Be certain that absolute, complete, separation from the influence of God's perfect characteristics will be unimaginably awful.

When was the last time that you personally led anyone to a saving knowledge of Christ? Do you regularly seek out opportunities to share the good news of salvation in Christ? Do you actually do it? If you think you are not capable, may I remind you of verse 12 above, "But we knew nothing about this." Please do not be guilty of making this excuse. God clearly says that He sees and knows and will repay. The excuse of claiming to "not know anything about this" will not work.

If you believe that you are not capable, share the gospel anyway, and regularly.

Seek out training, both from church leaders and from the Holy Spirit.

If you believe that it is mainly the job of church leaders to evangelize, you could not be further from the truth. It is the job of church leaders to train you, encourage you, exhort you, and equip you. Church leaders ought to regularly evangelize also, but they must carefully budget their time so as to have time for teaching others how to evangelize.

All those years of sitting in Sunday School classes and worship services should have equipped you to be a good soldier in God's army of evangelists. If you are a believer, that is your calling. If you are not equipped, it is not too late. Ask for help.

If you are not a believer, it is also not too late. Call upon the name of the Lord before it is too late.

June 21, 2017 Oh the Drama…Theater in full swing for summer

Mystery of lost headstone may be solved A headstone (top picture), found by Maddison Michael, 14-year-old daughter of Doug and Angel Michael of Gallatin, is most likely a nameplate off of the flat top of a marble mausoleum.

Maddison found it in the creek near Lilac and 280th Street earlier this month.

H.A. Roberson of Roberson Funeral Home explained that some of the marble available during World War II was not of the best quality. Most likely the old name plate was removed, tossed away, and replaced with more

durable stonework.

Jesse Thompson was the mayor of Breckenridge when he passed away. He was buried at Rose Hill Cemetery near Breckenridge. He was born in 1875 and died on April 7, 1944, according to his death certificate on Missouri Digital Heritage. That public record states that he died from exertion while pulling a post from a garden fence. The current picture (bottom picture) of the headstone and record was created by Caryn Hood and added to Find A Grave Memorial 2009-2010.

Under pressure? Get your canner tested Pressure canner gauge testing is being offered at local farmers markets in June by Janet Hackert, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist with University of Missouri Extension.

She will be on site to inspect canners, test gauges and answer questions at the King City and Bethany farmers markets.

Hackert will be at the King City Market from 3-7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14. This market is located at the King City park shelter house.

Hackert will be at the Bethany Farmers Market from 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, June 17.

The Bethany market is held in the BTC parking lot on Highway 136, just west of exit 92 on I-35.

Testing at farmers markets will be done free of charge.

Pressure canner gauges can also be tested throughout the northwest region in county extension offices. The test is either free or costs $1 per gauge.

The test is quick and easy, taking about 10 minutes.

The gauge itself, or the gauge

in the lid, is what is needed. The rest of the canner can also be inspected if it is brought in. Weighted gauges do not need to be tested since they stay accurate as long as they remain intact. The spring in the dial gauge can get worn out or stuck, and so it needs to be tested annually.

If you would be interested in learning more about pressure canning or other types of food preservation techniques or to sign up for the classes, please contact Hackert at 660-425-6434 or HackertJ@missouri.edu.

Classes are being offered in Hamilton (in June/July) and in Albany later in the summer.

Community Cupboard gearing up for Crossroads of America show on July 1 On July 1, The Community Cupboard Food Pantry/Walnut Street Baptist Church will host the 2017 Crossroads of America Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Tractor, and Camper Show, “Celebrating Our Freedom” at McCorkle Park in Cameron.

Funds raised go directly back into the pantry to help purchase food and for day-to-day operations of the pantry. The pantry provides service to several hundred people a year from predominately four counties: Daviess, Clinton, Caldwell, and DeKalb.

Registration is from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. No entries will be allowed after 12 noon. Entry fee is $15 per vehicle. Show starts at 1 p.m. with trophies, plaques and awards to start at approximately 3 p.m. This is a judge-sanctioned show with multiple divisions and over 180 trophies.

There will be a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and a pie auction at the show. Goodie bags and dash plaques will go to the first 100 entries. Over 20 vendors are expected.

This is a free event for the public.

“We have been working very hard on this show since last year,” says Larry L. Griffey, CEO/director of The Community Cupboard Food Pantry. “We have attended several city council meetings, and completed and complied with all the requirements set forth by the City of Cameron, which have been approved.”

Mayor Darlene Breckenridge and the Cameron Board of Alderman have been supportive of the fund-raising endeavor, added Mr. Giffey.

The Community Cupboard Food Pantry is a privately owned, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to helping those in need in Cameron and surrounding counties. It raises its own funding, and does not take government funding, which allows the pantry to help anyone in need, without the requirement of income or residential restrictions.

Mr. Griffey said: “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and a giant economic boost for the City of Cameron. Last year’s show produced 107 entries and this year we anticipate 180 to 200 entries coming from right here in Cameron, as far north as Des Moines, Iowa, from Marceline to Hiawatha, Kansas, east and west, and as far south as Harrisville.”

The Walnut Street Baptist Church, an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church has made it a mission to support The Community Cupboard Food Pantry, making their mission work start right here at home, in their own backyard. Larry Griffey is the pastor of the church and his wife Sarah is the Sunday school teacher.

If you have any questions, please contact Larry or Sarah at 816.632.0233, email at thecommunitycupboard@gmail.com, or find them on Facebook.

To publish unclaimed property owners State Treasurer Eric Schmitt recently announced the start of an annual effort to return unclaimed property to Missourians by publishing the names of owners in Missouri newspapers.

Starting June 16, the names of more than 145,000 individuals, families, small businesses, and non-profits with unclaimed property will be printed in more than 100 publications across the state.

“Our team works hard every single day to financially empower Missourians by returning the money they are rightfully owed,” Schmitt said. “One in 10 Missourians have unclaimed property, and this public awareness initiative is one of the many creative ways we work to get abandoned money back to its rightful owners.”

Missouri law requires these notices be published annually in order to list the names of individuals whose unclaimed property valued at $50 or more has been turned over to the State Treasurer’s Office in the past year.

Individuals, families, small businesses, and others can check to see if they have unclaimed property on ShowMeMoney.com. They can also sign up for email notifications when new assets come in matching their information and send notifications to family and friends to let them know about money being held in their name.

Treasurer Schmitt has returned more than $13.5 million to over 50,000 account holders since taking office in January.

The average unclaimed property return is around $300.

Do you have ‘frenemies’ in grow places?

C ute cr itter s b y d ay . T hieves b y night.

Every gardener knows the frustration of having a beautiful flower or vegetable garden decimated by four-legged critters, said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. Wildlife can be more formidable garden foes than insects, diseases and weeds.

A garden is the wildlife equivalent of a fast food drive-thru. Animals like food that is tasty and convenient, Trinklein said. Hunger whets their appetite for garden goodies, especially when they cannot find food in their native habitat, such as during a drought.

Early intervention is important. Trinklein recommends integrated pest management strategies for keeping wildlife damage to a minimum. Avoid animal pests by putting barriers in their way.

Pungent smells and unpleasant tastes may dissuade wildlife such as deer. Some gardeners choose chemical repellents with repugnant odors. Spray these around the edge of the garden.

Keep in mind human and pet safety, plant toxicity, and expense when considering these options, said Trinklein.

There are numerous homespun remedies for repelling wildlife. One of the easiest is a mixture of 20 percent whole eggs and 80 percent water. Reapply monthly. Several commercial repellents contain capsaicin, the chemical that gives the “fire” to hot peppers. Other homespun remedies include sachets containing dog hair and highly perfumed soap.

Deer, raccoon, rabbits and other pests also dislike threatening figures and noise. Objects such as scarecrows, aluminum foil, foil pie plates, predatory bird figures and mirrors can be helpful.

These are most effective when moved frequently, said Trinklein.

Left in the same place, animals get used to them.

Other, more drastic methods of garden protection include fences, netting, and small cages over individual plants such as tomatoes. These can be effective but expensive. Trinklein said 36inch chicken wire buried 6 inches in the ground is a good choice to exclude smaller wildlife such as rabbits and squirrels. For deer, fences must be 8 or more feet high to be effective.

Electric fences also are an option. Deter small species with two strands of electric fencing place two and four inches above the ground. Deterring larger animals such as deer requires taller fences. Trinklein recommends clearly labeling all electric fencing to avoid accidental contact by humans.

Plant selection is another way to deter wildlife. Common garden flowers that are deer-resistant include ageratum, geranium, marigold, morning glory, nasturtium, salvia, snapdragon, Shasta daisy, canna, liatris, petunia, phlox, verbena, vinca and yarrow.

Discover nature through frogging starting June 30 Frogging season in Missouri begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Bullfrogs and green frogs are legal game. The use of artificial light is permitted when frogging.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages Missourians to discover nature this summer. One fun and exciting way is through frogging. Frogging season begins June 30 at sunset and ends Oct. 31. Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after.

The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined and the possession limit is 16 frogs

of both species combined. Only the daily limit may be possessed on waters and banks of waters where hunting.

Daily limits end at midnight so froggers who catch their daily limits before midnight and then want to return for more frogging after midnight must remove the daily limit of previously caught frogs from the waters or banks

FEC Annual Meeting ( continu e d f r om dential members was planned in 2017, although the cost of wholesale power has increased just over 6% since the last residential rate increase in 2015. He discussed plans to construct a new warehouse, which was decided upon by the directors after a thorough assessment of our existing facilities.

Mr. Cotton also noted that in 2016 the cooperative retired just over $1.2 million dollars in capital credits, the largest retirement in 79 years. Farmers’ Electric has retired over $22 million in capital credits to its members since the cooperative was organized in 1938.

Dana Macoubrie, the cooperative’s attorney, conducted the election of the board of directors and the election of the 2018 Committee on Nominations. Elected to the Committee on Nominations were Charlotte Miller, Richard Halterman, John Finley, Dennis Farmer,

before returning for more.

Frogging can be done with either a fishing permit or a smallgame hunting permit. Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents 65 years of age or older are not required to have a permit.

Those with a fishing permit may take frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line, bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line.

With a small game hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rimfire rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The use of artificial light is permitted when frogging.

H.A. Roberson... born to be a funeral director

by T.L. Huffman

H.A. Roberson may have been destined to be a funeral director — he was born in a funeral home in Jamesport on Jan. 30, 1933.

It might have been an unusual place for his mother to have a baby, but it was home.

“My folks lived in the upstairs of the funeral parlor,” he said. “It was cozy and quiet.”

That first Roberson Funeral Home was located east of the Jamesport school. A pole barn sits there now. The funeral home burned in 1936 and a new place was purchased at the current location off of Highway 190.

“ F or all my ye ars in funeral service, feel honored for the confidence that the pub lic has placed in our family , ” said H.A . R ob erson.

When he was a boy, H.A. was not very enthused about getting into the death business.

“I didn’t like the work,” he said. “Funeral directors have to be available. We had to stay home all the time.”

So he was not that upset when his father sold the funeral home at Jamesport in 1942. During this time, his father, O.L., was a farmer, an engineer on the Rock Island Railroad, and worked part time at the funeral home.

H.A. went all through school at Jamesport. As he got older, his ideas changed and he became interested in the funeral home business. His father bought the funeral home back in December of 1951.

But H.A. was not able to take over the family business right away.

When he turned 19, he found out he was #10 on the draft card for the Army. This was during the Korean War. “Six of us from Jamesport went to join at the same time,” he recalls.

H.A. enlisted and was in the air force from 1952-1956. He was an Airman First Class.

He was stationed in different parts of the country, and wherever he was, he liked to walk into the local funeral home and ask if they were hiring.

“They always said ‘no’,” said.

H.A. “Then I’d ask them if they’d take free help. After they got over the shock, they’d say yes.”

H. A. wanted to experience the customs and rituals of funeral service in other areas across the country.

“How we bury people doesn’t change much,” he said. “But how we treat people does. Some funeral homes don’t ask what you want, they dictate what you want.”

He said the experience he

gained was priceless. He was most impressed with a rural area of Alabama.

“They were very relaxed and open about it,” he said. “If you died today they’d bury you tomorrow. You’d pull into a church in the country, find the preacher, dig the grave, and have the visitation, the service and the burial, all in a day.”

After getting out of the Air Force, H.A. went to Trenton Junior College and then to Gupton College of Mortuary Science in Nashville, Tenn.

H.A. married Suzanne Dickinson in 1957. After receiving his embalming license in 1959, he came home to help with the family business.

The Robersons also co-owned the Spillman Vault Company in Jamesport through the early 1930s. They bought the vault company in 1957 and had it about three years.

At one time, the vault company employed 12-14 people and was one of the biggest employers in town, along with Reed Seed.

The Robersons sold the vault company and in 1959 bought a funeral home in Pattonsburg. H.A. and Suzanne moved to Pattonsburg where they lived for eight years. They moved from Pattonsburg to Bethany in 1967.

They have two children, a daughter, Linda, and a son, Alan.

Linda married Bryan Polley.

They own the Roberson-Polley Funeral Home in Albany. Alan married Wyvonne Weddle. They operate the funeral homes today located in Jamesport, King City, Stanberry, Bethany, Eagleville, Princeton, Pattonsburg, and Lineville, Iowa.

“Anymore you have to own one nice funeral home you can operate by yourself or you’ve got to have quite a few. It’s like farming.”

H.A. retired in (1995). He misses the people he worked with every day.

“I liked the business,” he said.

“Nobody likes to see somebody lose a loved one. But I like what

you can do to help them when they need it the most.”

He has handled 7,000 funerals in his career.

He says the saddest experience has been “Children. I don’t know how people go through it.

The experts say it’s harder to lose a spouse than a child, but I can’t feature that.”

H.A. never got lost during a funeral procession, but he took a lot of scouting trips to make sure he knew where a cemetery was located.

“I wish we had G.P.S. and cell phones when we were raising the kids,” he said. “We’d have had

more time to spend with them.”

Since retiring, he doesn’t have much to do with the business anymore. He jokes that his kids pay him to stay away.

During his career H.A. has been President of the Funeral Director’s Association; received the Robert Knell Leadership Award from the Missouri Funeral Directors; the Sam Walton Business Leadership Award in 1999; served on the Trenton Junior College Foundation Board for nine years; and was a Distinguished Alumni in 2015.

After retirement, H.A.’s hobby has been John Deere tractors.

He had four. Now he has two antique tractors, a 52AR John Deere and a 1935 B John Deere, which was the first year the company made the B tractor. Yellow Book News did a feature on him called “HA Roberson and a Family Legacy of Funeral Service in Missouri.”

Sometime in his youth, H.A. decided to embrace the funeral business and he has never regretted the choice. None of use will live forever, and H.A. has his own funeral planned. He will be buried in Miriam Cemetery.

“I’ve got a monument there with my name on it,” he said.
