Park Board Elects New Officers

Missing Person

Rock Barn Roof, Tree Branches In Parks Discussed The Trenton Park Board met Wednesday night and elected new officers for the year.

Curtis Crawford was named the new president of the park board, taking over for outgoing president Duane Helmandollar. In addition to Crawford’s appointment, Andy Cox was elected vice president of the board and John Hamilton was named secretary.

The majority of the meeting at the upper Moberly Park shelter house covered two topics; a leak in the roof of the Rock Barn at the fairgrounds and tree braches in the parks.

The board decided that Crawford and parks superintendent David Shockley would attempt to get an initial look at the leak and see if they could determine just where exactly the leak was coming from and how bad it is. They would then contact a local roofer to get an estimate about the cost of a repair.

The Rock Barn roof was last replaced just a handful of years ago following a hailstorm that did damage to its roof as well as many other roofs in the community.

meeting to discuss what he said were multiple complaints about downed tree branches piled up at the base of several trees in the city’s parks. Shockley said the branches get placed there during mowing and that the parks department would get that issue taken care of. He elaborated that June is the busiest month of the year for the department.

With the heavy rains in June the department has struggled to keep up with mowing and two youth tournaments in town required the department to mark fields almost every

day for two and a half weeks. The crews have also been checking the pool every morning and night to make sure it is ready for patrons each day.

But, with the calendar flipping to July, Shockley said the branch issue would be taken care of.

Other items addressed by the board were a tube replacement on the walking trail behind Burleigh Grimes Field and fixing cracks in parking lots at Moberly and Eastside parks. Both of those issues would have to be taken to the street department.

The committee reports were pretty quiet. The pool committee simply stated that it has been pleased with the pool attendance so far this year. The facilities committee said the fields looked good for the recent tournaments held in town and there was no grounds report.

Shockley closed the meeting with the superintendent’s report. In his report, Shockley informed the board that a new diving board pad had been installed at the pool. The Green Hills Recreation As[See PARKS, Page 5]

NEW METERS GOING IN

Trenton Municipal Utilities is in the process of replacing water meters throughout town. The new meters, pictured above, will allow TMU to digitally read water usage numbers rather than doing so manually and will allow customers to track some information themselves. Currently, between 100 and 150 new meters have been installed. The utility is focusing on replacing meters 20-years-old and older first, but will eventually have all water meters in the city switched over to the new model. Swapping out meters takes just five minutes in ideal situations.

North Central To Again Aid Students American Rescue Plan Creates Relief For Higher Education North Central Missouri College will be assisting students financially in the upcoming school year.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds created under the American Rescue Plan will allow the school to help students with exceptional need. NCMC will be able to award grants for students to use to-

ward educational costs and other emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus such as tuition, food, housing, health care — including mental health care — or child care as a part of the program.

“Over the last year, emergency relief funds have been a tremendous help to students as they mitigate the effects of COVID-19,” Associate Director of Financial Aid Sarah Williamson said. “NCMC is pleased to be able to offer another round of grants to our students as they combat the lingering and ongoing struggles

associated with the pandemic. It is our hope that by offering this aid, that we can assist in removing potential barriers to student success.”

To receive aid, students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour for the 2021-2022 academic year. Payments will be based on the expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by a completed FAFSA. Individuals can find more information on the program by contacting Student Accounts at 660-357-6411, or by visiting North Central’s website www.ncmissouri.edu.

The Grundy County Health Department will hold a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Thursday, July 15 from 2-6 p.m. The clinic will be held at the health department.

Appointments are required and can be made by calling the health department at 359-4196. Individuals may also sign up for the clinic online by visiting www.grundychd.org The vaccine at this clinic will be the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for individual ages 12 and older. The phizer vaccine is a two-dose series with the second dose being given 21 days after the first.

The clinic is open to all and the health dpeartment is encouraging school-age children over 12-years-old to get the vaccine before school starts back up. According to CDC guidelines, fully vaccinated people do not have to quarantine following exposure if they are not symptomatic.

As of now, 25 percent of Grundy County’s population is vaccinated. The county currently has 12 active cases.

The total number of cases the county has seen since the onset of the pandemic is 1,257.

Was This The End For Federer?

20-Time Champ, Almost 40, Nears The End Of A Storied Career WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — If this really was it for Roger Federer at Wimbledon — and no one knows for sure either way right now, not even the man himself — then both he and his fans should take solace from this: He will be heading out on his own terms and at an elite level. Just maybe not the exact terms and level he’d prefer, given that he lost in the quarterfinals at the All England Club to someone new to Grand Slam success.

And if this wasn’t it, if Federer does return to the site of eight of his 20 Grand Slam triumphs, then all the better for the sport.

His 40th birthday is a month from Thursday, and what matters the most at the moment is that he make his own choices, for his own reasons, on his own timeline. Well, with input from his coaches, his trainer, his agent, his family and whatever other opinions Federer values.

“Obviously, we’re going to speak a little bit tonight, depending on how I feel, then the next couple of days, as well. Then we go from there. Just see: OK, what do I need to do to get in better shape so I can be more competitive?” Federer said Wednesday night after exiting with a 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-0 defeat against Hubert Hurkacz of Poland.

On Friday, Hurkacz faces Matteo Berrettini, and Novak Djokovic meets Denis Shapovalov. Only Djo-

kovic has appeared in the Wimbledon semifinals previously.

“I’m actually very happy I made it as far as I did here — and I actually was able to play Wimbledon at the level that I did, after everything I went through,” Federer said. “Of course, I would like to play it again, but at my age, you’re just never sure what’s around the corner.”

He doesn’t know if he’ll enter Wimbledon again. He also doesn’t think retirement is imminent.

Two years ago, Federer came as close as possible to his ninth trophy at the All England Club and 21st at any major, holding two championship points against Djokovic.

But Federer didn't convert either and ended up on the wrong end of a fifth-set tiebreaker. When he needed two operations on his right knee in 2020, what pushed him through the recovery was a desire to get back to his favorite tournament's grass courts.

“You need a goal when you’re going through rehab with what I did.

You can’t think of the entire mountain to climb as once. You’ve got to go in steps. Wimbledon was the initial, first ‘super step,’ if you like,” Federer said. “For me, now that that’s over, you’ve just got to reassess everything.”

Federer chats regularly with his team to figure out next steps. Where he should play. Whether his body needs rest. How he can improve. And so on.

There’s a lot to discuss, including if he'll go to the Tokyo Olympics.

What’s not up for debate, and Federer doesn’t hide it, is that he is not who he used to be. Of course not.

Still, he was good enough to be one of the last eight men standing of the 128 in the Wimbledon bracket.

“Clearly, there’s still a lot of things missing in my game that maybe 10, 15, 20 years ago were very simple and very normal for me to do. Nowadays, they don’t happen naturally anymore. I've got to always put in the extra effort, mentally, to remind myself: Remember to do this or do that,” he said. “I have a lot of ideas on the court, but sometimes I can’t do what I want to do. I think it’s a bit of a tricky situation, sometimes.”

What’s not tricky: We shouldn't judge Federer’s choices about whether to walk away.

Andy Murray’s situation is somewhat similar: He’s 34 and trying to compete after two hip operations.

His first singles appearance at Wimbledon since 2017 ended with a third-round loss. Afterward, he sounded glum.

Before Wimbledon, Murray was asked about Federer’s contributions to tennis. The answer veered to Federer’s future.

Murray, a three-time major champion, noted people have speculated for years about when Federer might be done.

“I don’t quite understand — because I’ve experienced it myself — just sort of why people want to always ask those question about when someone is going to finish. He’ll do it when he’s ready,” Murray said. “I wish everyone would start, like, encouraging him to keep going and keep playing as long as he can, as long as his body can do it, because we’ll miss him when it’s over.”

Lightning Win SecondStraight Stanley Cup Tampa Closes Out Montreal With 1-0 Victory TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Quieting the din inside Amalie Arena for just a moment, Gary Bettman looked over to the Tampa Bay Lightning and reached back into the dark days of the pandemic perhaps one last time.

The NHL commissioner beckoned not just captain Steven Stamkos but the entire team over to touch, kiss and hoist the Stanley Cup as champions once more. It was a far cry from the tradition of presenting hockey's holy grail to the captain to take back to his team, and the Lightning sent out another pandemic hockey season like they did the last — by winning their second championship in 10 months.

It was a familiar sight for the back-to-back champions, even if it was different in every possible way.

After the Lightning beat the Montreal Canadiens 10 on Wednesday night to end the final in five games, Stamkos hoisted the Cup in front of 18,110 fans — 18,110 more than the last time he did back in September.

Pyrotechnics went off around him to celebrate not only Tampa Bay winning during a pandemic once again but the end of another grueling season played against the backdrops of protocols, restrictions and heartbreak. As Stamkos took another lap with the Cup, players held up their phones to capture video of the fans, the confetti and the joy of being able to really, truly celebrate.

“Full arena, incredible energy and another championship in Tampa,” Bettman said. “It feels like things are normal.”

Winning has become normal for the Lightning, who did so this time relying on their playoff MVP goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and the only two Tampa Bay players on the ice without their names on hockey's holy grail.

Vasilevskiy had a seriesending shutout for an NHL-record fifth consecutive time dating to the 2020 final. Finishing with a handful in a frantic final minute, he made 22 saves to remain undefeated in games after a loss over the past two playoffs.

“It’s so hard to win the Stanley Cup,” Stamkos said. “And then you do it two years in a row, you deserve to go down in history.”

Ross Colton and David Savard weren’t around last year and made sure to put their stamp on Tampa Bay’s latest title run. Savard set up Colton’s goal midway through the second period past Canadiens stalwart Carey Price and the packed crowd roared.

“To do it in front of our fans and our families, it’s so special, special,” defenseman Victor Hedman said. “It’s out of this world."

The scene couldn't have been any further from the mirthless, empty arena where the Lightning won the Cup last September in a quarantined bubble across the continent in Edmonton, Alberta. Tampa Bay joined Pittsburgh as the only backto-back Cup winner in the salary cap era, but even more impressively did it in the shortest span between championships in the long history of the NHL. Never losing twice in a row thanks to Vasilevskiy's brilliance and one of the deepest rosters constructed since the cap was implemented in 2005, the Lightning solidified their status as a modern-day dynasty.

How deep? Nikita Kucherov had 32 points to join Mario Lemieux as the only players to lead the postseason in scoring twostriaght years. Brayden Point scored 14 goals in three rounds. Kucherov, Point and Hedman played through injuries, too.

It was just too much for the Canadiens, who relied again on Price to keep them in a game — and the series.

He finished with 29 saves.

The sunbelt franchise in a nontraditional market that didn't even exist until 1992-93 went through the NHL's most storied franchise to win this one. The third championship in franchise history denied Montreal a 25th league championship banner.

Tampa Bay's mayor had suggested the Lightning lose Game 4 on the road so they could win at home, and she got her wish as they became the first since Chicago in 2015 to hoist the Cup on home ice.

“We didn’t get a chance to do that last year,” Stamkos said. “This is redemption for them to be able to spend this time with us. We wanted to win in Game 4.

It didn’t work out. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise we got to do it front of our amazing fans.”

The Canadiens ran out of gas in a surprise playoff run for a team that opened the postseason with the worst record of the 16 qualifiers.

“The resilience that we showed: just a good team to be a part of," Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher said.

“As painful as this is right now, sometimes you need to feel this to call yourself the champion."

The Lightning know that well. Their back-to-back title run was spurred by the adversity of the team overcoming the shock of getting swept by Columbus in the first round in 2019.

Tampa Bay was without veteran forward Alex Killorn, who broke his left fibula blocking a shot in Game 1 of the final, had surgery last week and still wanted to play. He joined his teammates for a celebration like last year but unlike it in every way.

“It’s like we won two completely different Stanley Cups, and that’s what makes it extremely special for us,” coach Jon Cooper said. “You do one without fans and then you do one in your own building: We couldn’t have written the script any better.”

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension MANAGING ISSUES WITH YOUR POND

by Jim Crawford, Field Specialist in Agricultural Engineering University of Missouri Extension Missouri is proud to be known as a “Pond State.”

According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, there are over 300,000 privately-owned ponds and lakes in the state. These ponds provide water for people, livestock and wild animals as well as habitat and food for numerous fish, birds and other aquatic animals.

As spring turns into summer, ponds undergo many changes – some good and some not so good. Most pond owners take pride in their ponds so these changes are a cause for concern. The best way to avoid issues is with good maintenance and operational plan for your pond.

But that is not always possible. Below I will briefly describe some of the issues you may experience with your pond as well as some solutions.

One of the first changes people notice are “weeds” covering the pond. The first step is to correctly identify the material in your pond. Is it a floating weed? Is it anchored to the bottom? Is it a plant or algae? Proper identification is critical in order to develop the proper strategy for control.

While there are several maintenance, mechanical and biological controls available, generally by the time people recognize an issue, these methods will not be effective leaving to the last resort of chemicals. When chemicals are used to control weeds, it is critical you read and follow the label. As dead plants break down, they use oxygen from the

water. To avoid oxygen depletion and a possible fish kill, avoid treating when the water temperature is above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and treat only 1/4 of the vegetation at a time.

Filamentous green algae, often referred to as pond scum, is one of the most common issues with ponds.

They form dense mats floating on the surface and have no leaves or stems. Algae are important for healthy rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes, and all the human interests that involve water, including boating and fishing.

However, when filamentous algae flourishes, it can impede fishing and swimming, clog water intake screens and hurt the ecology, as well as the visual aesthetics, of a pond. Products containing copper sulfate provide effective control of algae.

Often confused with algae, duckweeds are the smallest of the flowering plants. They consist of tiny, green, rounded, leaflike bodies that float on the water’s surface. Several duckweed plants can fit easily on a fingertip. Missouri has 8 species of duckweeds, 2 of giant duckweed, and 3 of watermeal. Each duckweed plant is less than 1/4 inch across with a single short, hairlike root that dangles into the water. While a benefit to wildlife, in nutrientrich pond duckweed can spread quickly, cover the surface, and become a nuisance. Products containing Carfentrazone, Flumioxazin, or Penoxsulam provide good control.

Another common plant found around ponds are cattails. Cattails are tall plants with narrow, upright leaves with a central stalk bearing a brown, sausage-shaped flower spike. The brown sec-

tion consists of female flowers while above it on the stalk, the male flowers are yellow. Unlike algae and duckweed, they grow in shallow, stagnate or slowmoving water from rhizomes in the soil. They grow rapidly with a tendency to collect soil around their roots. This captured soil can fill in shallow ponds and other wet areas. They can become invasive and displace other wetland vegetation. Products with the active an active ingredient of Glyphosate, Imazamox or Imazapyr will control cattails.

The water level in all ponds will drop throughout the course of the year (even those without a leak) due to evaporation, seepage and usage by people, plants and animals. Many years, rainfall is not adequate to keep up with these removals and the water level will drop.

When the water level drops, it is not necessarily due to a leak. Seepage is water lost through the soil and is normal. A well-constructed pond can lose up to an inch of water per month due to seepage. However, if the water level is dropping faster than this it could be a good indicator of a leak. Wet spots, seeps or the growth of aquatic vegetation outside the pond can also indicate a leak. Dropping water levels are a call I hate to answer – because there is generally not a good answer to stop it.

The most common, and best way, to solve a leak is reconstruction of the pond – which is both expensive and time consuming.

These are just 4 of the most common issues that I hear regarding ponds. The Missouri Department of Conservation maintains an excellent webpage on ponds containing information on the constructions, operations, maintenance and solutions for most pond issues. This is my go-to source for information on ponds. https://mdc.mo.gov/yourproperty/improve-your-property/habitat-management/po nd-stream-management

Family's Feed Store 'A Big Part’ Of Small Iowa Town WORTHINGTON, Iowa (AP) — Loras Wolfe’s grandfather began selling feed to farmers in the Worthington area 107 years ago. Wolfe purchased the family business in 1973, and continues to make his mark on the Dubuque County community.

“He’s a big part of Worthington,” said Gary Lahr, a Worthington farmer who grows corn and soybeans and is a former president of the Dubuque County Farm Bureau. “It has been a family business, and in Loras’ time with it, he has made one hell of a business out of it.”

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports Wolfe’s L&S Ag Center is among the oldest existing businesses in the Worthington area, with the feed store’s lineage dating to 1914 and Wolfe’s grandfather, John Wolfe.

That original J.A. Wolfe Store carried “general merchandise,” which in those days meant a wide variety of goods, including groceries. The store also sold chickens, which prompted the first generation of the business to begin producing feed for sale. Agricultural services eventually became the business’ principal trade, as the store passed among generations of Wolfe family members.

“My uncle, Ben Loecke, bought (the business) in 1949,” said Loras Wolfe, 75.

Loras and his wife, Susan, became the third generation in the business by purchasing it in 1973, renaming it from Loecke Feed to its current L&S Ag Center.

The Wolfe family relocated the business in 2002 a mile south of Worthington, on Iowa 136.

Worthington Mayor Gary Langel described Loras and his family as “the epitome of Worthington,” due to the family’s community involvement.

“Loras is very supportive of Worthington and our local nonprofit organizations, and he does it with a smile on his face,” Langel said. “I’ve known Loras since I was a little kid. I grew up on a farm about a mile from where the Wolfe family lived.

When I was growing up on a farm, we patronized the ag center when it was in town.”

Langel said the store served as a community gathering space.

“In the front room there was a trans-

action counter, and on the other side of the room there were some tables and chairs,” Langel said. “The fathers went there for their morning gossip.”

When Loras took over the business in 1973, the store sold mostly bag and some bulk feeds, as well as seed and fertilizer.

Loras said he was able to maintain some previous contacts with farmers by the time of the 1973 purchase.

“Before I bought it, I used to sell seed corn,” he said. “I had a big territory east of here, so I knew all of those farmers east of here.”

Loras’ uncle had sold dry fertilizer.

Loras added liquid fertilizer and his business began spraying fertilizer for local farmers.

“All of the sudden, the fertilizer business grew big because I knew all of these other people (from the seed corn business),” he said.

The business continued growing and Loras’ son, Jason, became involved. Representing the fourth generation in the business, Jason also farms in the area, as does Loras. At L&S Ag, Loras serves as the president of the company, with Jason, 47, serving as general manager.

Loras said adapting to changing agricultural business conditions prompted L&S Ag’s move to its current location about two decades ago.

“Farms were getting bigger and buying their own sprayers, and buying their own fertilizer directly,” he said. “I figured that I couldn’t do both (fertilizer and feed).”

The family sold off its fertilizer business in 2000 to concentrate on its feed and grain storage business.

The family began building its current facility in 2000, constructing a feed mill in 2001.

Jason said the mill’s usual capacity is about 250 tons of ground feed per day.

“We’ve done as much as 400 tons (per day),” he said. “Those are the (working from) 8 o’clock (in the morning) to 10 o’clock (at night) days.”

The facility also has a 1.7-millionbushel storage capacity and the business delivers swine and dairy feed to farms within a 75-mile radius.

Emerald Ash Borer Threatens Existence Of Ash Trees In North America COLUMBIA, Mo. – The invasive emerald ash borer may eliminate the ash tree from North America. In Missouri, EAB is present in 89 counties and the city of St. Louis.

“Just like the Dutch elm disease that killed our native American elm trees, EAB is capable of eliminating all ash trees from our forests and cities,” says University of Missouri Extension entomologist Kevin Rice. “This makes it one of the most serious threats now facing North American forests.”

EAB is a small, metallicgreen beetle native to Asia.

It often spreads to new areas by hitchhiking on firewood transported by humans. The larvae feed

under the bark of ash trees, cutting off the tree’s circulatory system. Tree death results within a few years.

Rice is investigating if tiny wasps can help reduce EAB populations. The parasitoid wasps, which only attack EAB larvae, were released in Missouri three years ago. Rice and his team are looking at climate and habitats where the wasps successfully establish and reduce EAB populations. They have field sites across Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota.

The shade tree is popular for landscaping. On average, about 14% of trees lining streets in urban settings are ash.

Tree owners should watch for signs of infesta-

tion, Rice says. Look for dead branches, especially in the upper third of the tree, and D-shaped exit holes in the bark. Increased activity by woodpeckers might mean larvae are under the bark. Trees can be protected with insecticides before they experience 40% dieback. But treatments will need to be administered every few years, says Rice.

Ash trees also make up a large portion of Missouri forests and provide wood for baseball bats and furniture. The loss of ash trees hurts the forest ecosystem and allows the spread of invasive weeds.

• Contact a certified arborist to save high-value trees. See www.treesaregood.com for a list of arborists certified by the International Society of Arboriculture.

• Homeowners can apply

an insecticide soil drench, available at big box stores.

Insecticides must be applied long-term and are not effective on trees 20 inches DBH (diameter at breast height) or larger. Injections by an arborist are far more effective.

OP/ED FIVE POINTS WENDELL LENHART

TRENTON’S ENTERTAINMENT

It was a great, long holiday weekend for most people and it couldn’t have gotten off to a better start with all the activities in downtown Trenton on Friday evening. The area between 9th and 10th Streets on Main was packed with people who took part in the activities and watched the Peterson Brothers entertainment. And it was all followed up by the fireworks show from the Rock Barn when it was dark.

I heard lots of good comments about all the events and the fireworks display. Hats off to all those involved and hopefully it can be repeated again next year. ##### Another big event for the Trenton community comes up next week with the Mid-America Music Festival on tap at the Black Silo Winery in Trenton.

It should bring some great crowds to Trenton and hopefully the weather will cooperate to make it a great weekend.

All of these entertainment events help people from out of the area to see our community and they also help it to grow and prosper. ##### I continue to follow the debate in Washington, D.C. as our elected leaders try to come up with a plan to improve the infrastructure throughout the country.

It’s a noble idea but no one seems to be worried about the massive amounts of money that are being spent to pay for everything. I couldn’t stay awake all the way through economics class but at some point in the future there will have to be money available to pay for those obligations.

It also got me to thinking back to 2008 when there was a recession and there were huge amounts of money approved for a bunch of shovel-ready projects around the country. Trouble is, I don’t remember any of those projects ever being completed. And politicians back then were also touting the benefits of spending the money.

There certainly weren’t any completed in this part of the country and now I wonder where all that money went. ##### Covid continues to spike in Grundy County and the State of Missouri. The vaccination rate in the county is 25 percent and the state is checking in at under 40 percent. The state is also considering some type of incentive program to encourage people to get vaccinated.

I’ve known people who have contracted it twice and until a majority of the population gets vaccinated, I think the pandemic will be here to stay.

Even some young people have struggled to recover from the effects of Covid and in the older population and those with chronic health conditions, it can be deadly. ##### Thought for the day: Why doesn’t ‘Buick’ rhyme with ‘quick’?

Did American Rescue Plan Act Give More To States Than Necessary?

Across the country, states got huge infusions of cash from the federal government to help them deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; the most recent infusion of money comes from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was President Biden’s COVID-19 stimulus plan. The Conversation’s senior politics editor, Naomi Schalit, interviewed the University of Virginia’s Raymond Scheppach about whether the federal government gave the states more money than they needed.

Scheppach is a state budget expert who ran the National Governors Association for 28 years, worked in the Congressional Budget Office for seven years and is considered an authority on state and federal relations. He says the flood of federal money may have been a rare occurrence in federal-state relations: too much of a good thing.

What can states do with the latest infusion of money from the federal government?

States will get US$195.3 billion over the next year in extremely flexible funds to be spent essentially on any health care costs or to offset any negative economic effects related to COVID-19.

In addition, states can invest the funds to improve drinking water quality, support wastewater and stormwater treatment capacity and expand broadband access.

Given that the impact of COVID-19 differed substantially by state, it appears that the drafters of the legislation wanted to cover all of the direct health and economic costs of the pandemic. But in situations where individual states had less need, they could use the additional funds for infrastructure, where virtually every state has substantial needs.

Are there limits on how the money can be spent?

The two major restrictions are that states could not use the funds to lower taxes or to make extraordinary deposits to pension funds. The pension restriction exists because a number of senators believe states such as Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey and Kentucky have been irresponsible in not setting aside enough money to pay for even half of their future pension liability.

The only other restriction is that all funds need to be obligated or committed by Dec. 31, 2024, and spent by the last day of 2026. During most past economic downturns, states have often assisted local government, but this is not necessary this time as the legislation also included $154.7 billion to other governments such as cities, counties, tribes and territories.

Overall, the funds in this stimulus were far more flexible than those in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a stimulus bill passed during the Great Recession to limit the economic contraction and help states weather the economic downturn. While substantial funds were provided to states in that package, most had to be used for state-administered federal programs such as highway construction and maintenance, housing weatherization for low-income individuals and families and the construction wastewater treatment systems.

Did states receive more federal money for pandemic recovery than they need?

To answer this question, it is important to look back over the last year to see how much the COVID-19 pandemic affected state finances and to look forward to see how rapidly the economy and thus state revenues will recover.

It appears that the pandemic-related economic downturn in states was quite muted, confounding everyone’s expectation, including mine.

First, revenues have held up surprisingly well. For example, sales tax revenues actually grew by 0.5% in fiscal year 2020 and are on track to increase 2% in fiscal year 2021. This is largely because consumers continued to shop but did so online as opposed to in malls. Most states now tax online sales. A few states depend heavily on reve-

nues from the extraction of oil and gas, and that source held up well as prices recovered much faster than expected and production levels were maintained.

Most important, income tax revenues were also up 0.3% in fiscal year 2020 and are on track to be up 2.8% in fiscal year 2021. This is because many middle- and higher-income individuals shifted from the office to working from home with little unemployment interruption.

On the spending side, early action by the federal government largely cushioned the traditional explosion of Medicaid spending that happens during an economic downturn. On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act was signed into law, and it included an increase of 6.2% in the share that the federal government paid to states for their Medicaid spending. This additional Medicaid money from the federal government allowed states to use the 6.2% they had originally budgeted for Medicaid for other needs, like education.

One example: For a small state like Connecticut, this could be over $550 million.

The other factor that is important to calculating whether the states got too much money is how much state revenues will rebound over the next year.

The pent-up demand for travel, entertainment and eating out in restaurants means the U.S. economy is estimated to have grown 8.6% during the second quarter of 2021 and 6.4% in 2021, relative to 2020. Consumers have money to spend as the savings rate was up substantially during the pandemic.

This all adds up to a rapid recovery and will quickly translate into similar growth in state sales tax and income tax revenues, the two largest sources of state revenues.

Additionally, Medicaid enrollment will shrink as individuals find jobs and get employer-paid health care once again, further lowering state spending.

So, did states receive too much money in the Biden rescue plan? The answer is definitely yes, given that state revenues never declined very much, coupled with the federal government’s assistance in offsetting the spike in Medicaid, and the fact that the current recovery will be robust in terms of state revenues all support this conclusion.

What are the economic challenges for states in the future?

Many states are increasing their spending for fiscal year 2022 by double-digit percentages, such as Vermont at 14.5%, Pennsylvania at 21.3% and North Carolina at 11.6%. Much of these funds will be spent on elementary, secondary and higher education, as well as Medicaid.

Once the federal money is all spent, many states may be looking at a serious budget problem: not enough money to support the spending levels they’ve assumed in their fiscal year 2022 budgets. That will likely happen when the economy slows and actual revenues fall short of the levels assumed in their budgets.

States will also have difficult decisions this year regarding how much should go into current operations and how much goes to long-run investments, like further spreading broadband.

Spending all the federal money by the mandated end date of Dec. 31, 2026, may also be difficult, and there is the potential risk that the federal government will take back any uncommitted funds. That would put pressure on states to spend or lose the funding, which could lead to some bad, or at least inefficient, choices. Quickly solved problems could take precedence over ones that may be more serious, but take more time to address.

For example, a state might commit funds to wastewater treatment, where it can be spent quickly, as opposed to highways, where the need is greater but the planning horizon is longer.

Biden Left With Few Options To Stabilize Haiti MIAMI (AP) — The last time Haiti was thrust into turmoil by assassination was 1915, when an angry group of rebels raided the French Embassy and beat to death President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, ushering in weeks of chaos that triggered a nearly two-decade U.S. military intervention.

With the era of gunboat diplomacy long over, the U.S. is unlikely to deploy troops in the aftermath of the brazen slaying Wednesday of President Jovenel Moïse in an overnight raid at his home.

But the Biden administration may nonetheless find itself dragged into the country's increasingly violent political conflict, one that has been building — if largely ignored by Washington — for months and which is now expected to deepen further, with the immediate path forward blurred by intrigue.

“This will get the U.S.' full attention and that's already a big deal,” said Amy Wilentz, the author of multiple books on Haiti.

“Up until now, no matter who went to the Americans about Haitian governance and its problems under Moïse, they weren't interested in interfering in any way except to support him.”

Moïse was a little-known banana exporter until former President Michel Martelly, barred by the constitution from seeking reeI, Barbara Harris Collector of Revenue within and for Grundy County, Missouri hereby give notice as provided in Chapter 140 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri for 1986, that I shall offer for sale the hereinafter described lots and lands for delinquent taxes on real estate at the front door of the courthouse on the fourth Monday, the 23rd of August 2021, Grundy County Missouri, commencing at 10:00 a.m. on the said day.

Seen by many as a stand-in for Martelly's eventual comeback, he had been ruling by decree for more than a year after repeatedly postponing elections in a bitter standoff with opponents while desperate Haitians suffered at the mercy of violent gangs whose power has proliferated in recent years.

He nonetheless appeared to be on his way out, having set Sept.

26 to hold elections for president and parliament. The electoral timetable was backed by the Biden administration, though it rejected plans to hold a constitutional referendum —currently scheduled for the same day — that has been opposed by critics who say any vote organized by the government will be fundamentally flawed and lack credibility.

The Biden administration gave no indication of its next policy moves in the aftermath of Moïse's murder other than to say it will support an investigation to determine who was behind the slaying.

So far, there are few clues.

But Moïse's allies say the president's recent decision to go after Haitian “oligarchs” who grew rich on state contracts in the electricity and other sectors earned him enemies who have the means

Late Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph, a protégé of Moïse, to offer his condolences.

“It is still the view of the United States that elections this year should proceed," State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

The U.S. has influenced political events in Haiti throughout its history — deploying troops, funding development projects and boosting would-be leaders.

Its intervention following Sam's assassination in 1915 kicked off a ruinous, nearly twodecade U.S. occupation that saw the introduction of Jim Crow racial segregation laws in what was the first country in the world to ban slavery. The U.S. stood by anti-communist ally Francois Duvalier during his reign of terror during the Cold War. And Bill Clinton brokered a deal to restore President Jean-Bertrand Aristide following his removal in a 1994 coup.

around a third of the nation’s gross domestic product.

But despite $13 billion in international aid spent on state-building since the devastating 2010 earthquake, the country's democracy remains fragile, corruption rampant and inequality that has left millions struggling to eat is growing worse.

“The United States, for reasons that elude me, does not see that,” said Monique Clesca, a Haitian writer and retired United Nations official from her home in the hills above the capital, not far from where the president was killed.

“It’s to the point that — I think I tweeted yesterday — is it because we are Black?”

To underscore her criticism of the U.S.' frequent neglect, Clesca referred to a shooting rampage just last week in Haiti’s capital that was met with silence by Haiti’s international partners. Fifteen people, including a journalist and a well-known political activist, were among the dead.

“I didn’t hear Joe Biden. I didn’t hear Boris Johnson," she said. "Where were they?”

Biden said he was shocked and saddened by Moïse's murder, condemning it as “heinous” act. But in a long Senate career focused on foreign policy, he showed little interest in getting bogged in Haiti's quagmire politics, taking distance from fellow Democrat Clinton's

threats of an invasion to restore Aristide.

“If Haiti, a God-awful thing to say, if Haiti just quietly sunk into the Caribbean or rose up 300 feet, it wouldn’t matter a whole lot in terms of our interest,” he said in a 1994 interview with then PBS host Charlie Rose.

Wilentz said that absent a migration crisis, the Biden White House is likely to limit any involvement.

The Haiti turmoil comes as the US is withdrawing from Afghanistan and it would be hard if not impossible to get support for fresh US troops anywhere in the world right now, especially in a place like Haiti where there’s little expectation that U.S. engagement would lead to political stability.

Still, Wilentz said U.S. officials should keep an eye on Joseph to see if he has the wherewithal and interest in organizing a democratic transition that brings stability to average Haitians.

“If not, they should be pushing him pretty hard to name an interim government and get out of the way,” she said.

Her biggest fear, besides Martelly or another strongman stepping in to fill the void, is that the U.S. officials once again lose interest.

“The problem," she said, “is you can’t do it with the Americans and you can’t do it without them.”

Tropical Storm Elsa Kills One, Leaves 10 Injured SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Tropical Storm Elsa carved a destructive and soaking path up the East Coast after killing at least one person in Florida and spinning up a tornado at a Georgia Navy base that flipped recreational vehicles upside-down and blew one of them into a lake.

Elsa's winds weakened to 40 mph (65 kph), but it was dropping torrential rains over the Carolinas as it made its way through South Carolina early Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said in its latest update. Elsa was expected to move over North Carolina later in the day, pass near the eastern mid-Atlantic states by Thursday night and move near or over the northeastern United States on Friday.

Some re-strengthening was possible Thursday night and Friday while the system moves close to the northeastern United States.

A tropical storm warning was in effect north of Great Egg Inlet, New Jersey to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, and for the coast of Long Island from East Rockaway Inlet to the eastern tip along the south shore and from Port Jefferson Harbor eastward on the north shore. A warning was also in effect from New Haven, Connecticut to Merrimack River, Massachusetts including Cape Cod, Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket.

There was a chance Long Island in New York would see sustained tropical storm-force winds late Thursday night and into Friday morning, the National Weather Service in New York warned.

Elsa seemed to spare Florida from significant damage, though it still threatened flooding downpours and caused several tornado warnings. The coasts of Georgia and South Carolina were under a tropical storm warning.

Forecasters predicted Elsa would remain a tropical storm into Friday, and issued a tropical storm watch from North Carolina to Massachusetts.

Authorities in Jacksonville, Florida, said one person was killed Wednesday when a tree fell and struck two cars. The National Weather Service reported 50 mph (80 kph) wind gusts in the city. The tree fell during heavy rains and no one else was injured, according to Capt. Eric Prosswimmer of the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Depart-

ment.

In nearby Camden County, Georgia, a possible tornado struck a park for recreational vehicles at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. About 10 people were injured and taken to hospitals by ambulance, said base spokesman Scott Bassett. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. He said some buildings on the base appeared to have been damaged as well.

An EF-2 tornado flipped over multiple RVs, blowing one of the overturned vehicles about 200 feet (61 meters) into a lake, the National Weather Service said in a preliminary report early Thursday after its employees surveyed the damage. Debris from the RVs was strewn throughout the park, the agency said.

Sergio Rodriguez, who lives near the RV park, said he raced to the scene fearing friends staying at the park might be hurt. The area was under a tornado warning Wednesday evening.

“There were just RVs flipped over on their sides, pickup trucks flipped over, a couple of trailers had been shifted and a couple of trailers were in the water” of a pond on the site, Rodriguez said in a phone interview.

Cellphone video he filmed at the scene showed trees bent low among scattered debris. He said ambulances arrived and began treating dazed people trying to understand what had happened.

“A bunch of folks had lacerations and were just banged around,” Rodriguez said. “A majority of folks were in their trailers when it happened.”

The hurricane center said there was a risk of flooding in South Carolina, which was predicted to get 3 to 5 inches (8 to 13 centimeters) of rainfall.

More than 7 inches (18 centimeters) of rain was recorded at a weather station near Gainesville, Florida, the weather service reported. More than 5 inches (13 centimeters) of rain had fallen by early Thursday at Sapelo Island off the Georgia coast; and at a weather station along the Savannah River in Jasper County, South Carolina.

Scattered power outages were being reported along Elsa's path Wednesday evening, with about 35,000 homes

and businesses on either side of the Georgia-Florida state line without electricity, according to the website poweroutages.us.

The storm complicated the search for potential survivors and victims in the collapse of a Miami-area condominium on June 24. Regardless, crews continued the search in the rubble of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, on the state’s southeast coast.

The storm also temporarily halted demolition Wednesday on the remainder of an overturned cargo ship off the coast of Georgia. The South Korean freighter Golden Ray capsized in September 2019 off St. Simons Island, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of Savannah. Crews have removed more than half the ship since November.

Most salvage workers were sheltering indoors Wednesday, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Himes, a spokesperson for the multiagency command overseeing the demolition.

Himes said crews would be watching to see if Elsa’s winds scatter any debris from the ship into the surrounding water. The vessel’s remains are open at both ends, like a giant tube on its side, and its cargo decks still contain hundreds of bashed and mangled cars.

In Edisto Beach, South Carolina, Wednesday started muggy and overcast.

The forecast for the barrier island 30 miles (48 kilometers) down the coast from Charleston was similar to a heavy summer thunderstorm – an inch or two (2.5 to 5 centimeters) of rain, winds gusting up to about 40 mph (64 kph) and maybe a little beach erosion. Other South Carolina beaches expected similar conditions, coming mostly overnight to be less of a bother to visitors during an extremely busy summer.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard said 13 people were rescued from a boat that had left Cuba with 22 people aboard late Monday. Nine people remained missing. Elsa was also blamed for three deaths in the Caribbean before it reached Florida.

Elsa is the earliest fifth-named storm on record, said Brian McNoldy, a hurricane researcher at the University of Miami.

Dear Annie: I'm desperately in need of your advice.

I've been married to my husband for 16 years; we've been together 20 years. We'd always had a decent sex life up until two years ago. The sex just stopped. He was never in the mood. I had no clue what had changed.

Well, about six months ago, I discovered that he's been watching porn a couple of times a week (at least), for as far back as our computer history showed. I confronted him about it. He said it was no big deal -- that most men have a porn habit. But it is a big deal to me. It has lowered my self-esteem and made me feel very lonely and unlovable -- like it's my fault that he doesn't want me.

He acts like I should be OK with it, but to me, what he's doing is a form of cheating. I don't know what to do or how to handle it. -- Feeling Betrayed Dear Feeling: If this were indeed just a habit, then there might be middle ground on which to meet him. But when a behavior becomes so compulsive that it disrupts one's marriage and prevents physical inti-

macy for years on end, it's no longer a habit. It's an addiction.

Have a heart-to-heart with your husband. While your hurt feelings are understandable, try to set aside any anger when you talk to him about this. Put love front and center, expressing concern for his health and letting him know how his behavior impacts you. Hopefully, he'll be open to seeking help overcoming this addiction, through counseling or a support group. Regardless, you can seek help for yourself.

Visit https://www.psychologytoday.com/groups/sexualaddiction, and enter your ZIP code to find groups for those addicted to pornography as well as groups for spouses/partners.

Dear Annie: I just spent my first Father's Day without my dad, who tragically passed away from COVID19 a few months ago. I am feeling heartbroken but also grateful. Without a doubt in my mind or heart, the most significant trait that my beloved father instilled in me through his role modeling of it is resilience.

He developed this lifesaving trait throughout a dif-

I have also been experiencing an exceptionally challenging life, the latest bump in the road being an aggressive form of cancer.

My deeply entrenched resiliency has and continues to be invaluable. Thank you, Daddy. -- Grateful Daughter Dear Grateful: I'm so sorry for your loss and your diagnosis. They say we should be the things we loved most about the people who are gone. It sounds like you're living that credo.

Your dad would be proud.

Dear Annie: In several columns, you've mentioned Match.com as a good place for singles to meet other singles. Well, my mother-inlaw lost her entire savings, more than $70,000, to a scammer on one of the most popular dating sites. There was no recourse available from either her bank or the site. No social media site is safe from scammers. -- Offline Dear Offline: Your words of caution are warranted -- and yet another reminder to never give money or your banking information to someone you've met online.

Stocks trading places Stocks are in a midyear tug-of-war as investors sort out the impact from the economic recovery and rising inflation.

Technology and other high-growth stocks have been swapping places with sectors known more for their reliable, steady values. That churn within the market will likely linger through the year, several analysts have said, as the recovery plays out.

The jostling underlies an otherwise strong market, with the benchmark S&P 500 recently notching a string of record highs.

Technology stocks dominated the index’s gains in June as inflation worries eased and the market expected the Federal

Reserve to maintain low interest rates to support the economic recovery. Back in May, however, tech stocks slipped over concerns the Fed could consider raising interest rates sooner than expected, making the sector seem more expensive.

“Interest in growth stocks returned with a vengeance in June as technology names come back to the fore and value stock leadership faded,” said Marc Zabicki, director of research at LPL Research.

Sectors considered more stable, including personal care products makers and raw materials companies, were the mirror image, gaining ground in May and then lagging in June.
