Sporting Routs LAFC

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dániel Sallói had a goal and an assist to help Sporting Kansas City beat Los Angeles FC 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Alan Pulido, Gadi Kinda and Luis Martins also scored for Kansas City (10-4-3). Sporting moved into a tie with Seattle atop the Western Conference standings with 33 points.

Pulido tapped a right-footer into an empty net to open the scoring in the 20th minute. Martins redirected a cross

by Sallói into the net in the 28th, and Sallói put away a first-timer off an entry by Graham Zusi to make it 3-0 in the 36th minute.

Kinda made it 4-0 in the 58th, and LAFC's Daniel Musovski capped the scoring in the 82nd minute.

Los Angeles (6-6-5) in winless in its last four games.

MLB Sets 2022 Start Date

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball will open the 2022 season on March 31 — as long as there isn’t a work stoppage — and will try for the fourth time to have every team play its first game on the same day for the first time since 1968.

The collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the players’ association expires Dec. 1. Given the acrimonious relationship between the sides, a lockout or strike appears possible. the last work stoppage was in 1994-95.

U.S. Eyes Fourth-Straight Gold Americans Dig Out Of Early Hole, Rout Australia, 97-78 UNITED STATES 97 AUSTRALIA 78 SAITAMA, Japan (AP) — The U.S. has owned gold for three straight Olympics, making the middle of the medals platform property of the Americans.

The Australians tried everything they could to shove them off.

“They hit us with a nice punch,” Kevin Durant said after their men's Olympic semifinals matchup. “We knew that team was going to get us down early and see how we’d respond.”

The response was not what Australia had hoped.

Durant scored 23 points, Devin Booker had 20 and the U.S. blew past and eventually blew away the Aussies 97-78 on Thursday after falling into a 15-point hole.

With their gold-medal streak looking in jeopardy midway through the second quarter, the Americans overwhelmed the Australians with a 48-14 stretch that gave them a 74-55 lead after three periods.

The U.S. missed its first 10 3-point attempts and didn't hit one until late in the second quarter. Then it felt as if the Americans hardly missed again, with Booker making three 3-pointers.

“Obviously, getting down 15 points you know you’ve got to bring it up a notch and that’s what we did,” Booker said.

Jrue Holiday had 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the U.S., which will play European champion Slovenia or France for a

fourth straight gold medal Saturday.

The French beat the Americans 83-76 in their Olympic opener.

That was part of a 2-3 start to the summer for the U.S., which included a loss to the Australians in an exhibition game in Las Vegas.

The Americans don't look like that team anymore.

They look like the best team in the world, like those that used to win gold with ease.

It's clear the Americans still have their grip on gold and it’s going to take more than a few bad minutes for anyone to take it away from them.

Patty Mills scored 15 points for Australia, which still needs a win for its first Olympic basketball medal.

The Australians have finished fourth four times at the Olympics, including in 2016, but believed this time they could bring home gold.

For 1 ½ quarters, it looked like they’d get a chance.

They dropped the Americans into their second double-digit deficit in two games, outplaying the world’s No. 1-ranked team and looking capable of forcing the U.S. to settle for anything other than Olympic gold for the first time since the Americans stumbled home with bronze in 2004.

But the U.S. recovered and romped after halftime, improving to 9-0 against Australia at the Olympics.

“In the locker room, it basically was, ‘How bad do you want it?’ And we came out with the same intent we had in the first half,” Australia’s Nic Kay said. “We didn’t do it at the level we needed to. It’s unfortunate.”

The minutes before the first semifinal were another unusual scene in these most unusual Olympics, where the public address announcer pleaded multiple times for players to clear the court while Durant and Mills were warming up so a robot that entertains

the almost-nonexistent audience could perform his shooting routine before the game.

The robot missed both his attempts from halfcourt. His long-range shooting was off.

So were the Americans, at least for a little while.

The Australians opened an eightpoint lead while the Americans managed only one basket over a span of more than four minutes. Australia took a 24-18 lead into the second quarter after Chris Goulding made a 3-pointer in the closing seconds.

The U.S. kept misfiring from behind the arc and even had some shaky moments at the rim — Khris Middleton had an open dunk attempt coming off the baseline but slammed the ball into the front of the rim.

The Australians took advantage with eight straight points midway through the second. Dante Exum made a 3-pointer, Matisse Thybulle converted a three-point play after scoring on the break and Exum threw a lob to Jock Landale to make it 4126 with 5:23 to go.

But the Australians got only one basket the rest of the half and will look back at that stretch if they again go home without a medal. They still led by 11 with 2:59 to go but the Americans cut the deficit to 45-42 by halftime.

“Last five minutes of the second quarter they were fantastic and it continued into the third,” U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said.

The Americans started the second half with two buckets from Holiday and two more from Durant. By the time the Australians got a basket nearly four minutes into the half, the U.S. had opened a nine-point lead.

The U.S. outscored Australia 32-10 and led 74-55 heading into the fourth quarter.

DISPATCHES FROM THE FAIR Well, it’s fair week in Trenton and although I like to complain about it because it’s usually hot, smelly and adds a load of work to my week, I’ve managed to create some pretty memorable moments for myself at the North Central Missouri Fair.

My aversion to carnival rides - which stem from my fear of death, dismemberment and puking in public - kept me from going to the fair much as a youngster, but I’ve made up for it as an adult. I covered my first NCM Fair in August 1992 and that was back in the days when the horse show was a halter show, held in the show ring at the fairgrounds. Keep in mind that I had no experience taking pictures of animals; I was used to taking pictures of people, telling them to look at me and smile, which is what I did at the horse show. After the pictures had been in the paper, rural Trenton resident Jim Crow approached me and very politely gave me some advice that I have tried to follow since that time: when you’re taking pictures of animals at the fair, be sure to get the animal in the picture. The whole animal, if possible. Apparently I had nice smiling pictures of the kids showing the horses that won, but had cut a good portion of the animal off in some of the pictures. Live and learn.

Another horse show memory from that first year just popped into my head. Picture this: a horse is standing near me waiting to be led into the ring; a kid is standing next to me eating some fair fare; the horse “lets loose” (so to speak); the kid “loses his lunch” (so to speak); and this reporter, who has a notoriously weak stomach, vows that this will be her first and last year as the fair correspondent.

So much for that...

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot and made several observations: • take an extra pair of shoes to the fair so one can be worn in the show ring when taking pictures of the winners after the animals have had the run of the place for the day. Put those shoes in the back seat (or, if it’s been really messy that day, in the trunk). Hose them off when you get home.

• there’s no quick and easy way to take a picture of the winning hogs. You think toddlers are stubborn and slow to respond to commands? Try getting a hog to stand where you want them and stay put! They have a mind of their own and you might as well just be patient until the exhibitors get them where they want them. Then take the picture very quickly and hope for the best.

• the dog show, which was really fun back when we had one, can make one feel very inadequate about their parenting skills. These kids were giving hand signals to their dogs and the dogs were obeying them (without any backtalk.)

• there’s an entire group of people who will dress up in wool in what is often the hottest week of the year and walk around the show ring in clothes that match their lamb. I’m not sure if we’ll have a ladies lead category this year, but I always wondered why there was no “gentlemen’s lead” category. Maybe the boys were wise enough to not dress in wool in August?

• speaking of fair “attire” I found it difficult to get used to the idea that the kids showing dairy cattle all wear white. I am of the thought that the dirtier your activity, the darker your clothing should be.

And I’m not sure there’s a dirtier place to be than the show ring.

• apparently there’s nothing unethical about eating a pork burger while you’re covering the swine show. It doesn’t seem right, but it sure tastes good!

• there are people I see at the carnival and grandstand during fair week that I never see any other time. It kind of makes you wonder where they are the rest of the year.

Probably the most important thing I’ve learned from covering the fair is how hard those kids work.

From the ones who enter their 4-H projects in the Rock Barn to those who have to handle a huge steer in the show ring, it’s obvious this isn’t just a week-long activity for them. This is their life. I’ve enjoyed watching them grow up - and now their kids are in the show ring!

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention all those volunteers who make sure we have a fair each year.

I get paid to be there, but they do it because they love kids and believe that what those kids are learning is worthwhile and will pay dividends down the road.

I couldn’t agree more.

New Endorsement Laws Could Create Pitfalls For College Athletes

by Sheldon H. Jacobson University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.

It can be found at http://bit.ly/TCUSinfo) Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that student-athletes are able to earn money from their name, image and likeness, more than a dozen states have enacted laws to govern the practice. These states include Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

GUEST EDITORIAL For example, the name, image and likeness law in Illinois defines what compensation can be for and the role that colleges can play when student-athletes seek endorsement deals.

Other states have name, image and likeness laws that take effect in 2022 and later, including New Jersey, Maryland, California and Minnesota. All these state laws could help shape a federal name, image and likeness law in the near future.

This shifting landscape creates a wide range of revenue-generating opportunities for student-athletes. For example, companies and organizations can work to market their products and services to reach college students and college alumni via student-athlete endorsements, something that they were unable to do before.

There’s no shortage of examples of student-athletes who are already taking advantage of their newly won ability to do business. For instance, Bryce Young, the star quarterback at the University of Alabama, has signed deals estimated to be close to US$1 million dollars.

Hanna and Haley Cavinder, women’s basketball players at Fresno State, signed deals with Boost Mobile and the nutrition supplements company Six Star.

Drew Gilbert, a University of Tennessee baseball player, inked a deal with Breaking T for a line of T-shirts.

As a data scientist with an interest in sports analytics – that is, the science of using data to analyze how athletes and teams perform – I am concerned about how these new laws might affect

student-athletes both on and off the field or court.

For instance, will schools in states with more favorable laws for student-athletes use that as a way to entice the athletes to come to their schools? Will student-athletes be tempted to transfer from one state to another in order to enjoy a more favorable name, image and likeness law?

But perhaps most importantly, how will these new laws and policies affect college players? I see three potential pitfalls for student-athletes who might decide to use their visibility as athletes to make money.

Time management Student-athletes are busy. Between classes and studying, and practice and competition, their schedules are packed. Their sports commitments can take up as much as 40 hours per week in-season. The temptation to earn money will add yet another demand on their time, which may lead them to shift their priorities.

Given all that they have on their plate, academics will likely suffer. Student-athletes are already saying they would like more time to study. So if making money comes into play, it could make time to study even more scarce. This could threaten student-athletes’ eligibility to play sports if they are unable to maintain their course credits and grades.

On-court performance Organizations or businesses that pay student-athletes expect a return on their investment.

They are not giving student-athletes money as charitable gifts.

Responsibilities such as appearances or social media engagements may place additional time pressures on student-athletes.

This could also serve as a mental distraction, which may affect their performance on the court or playing field.

Name, image and likeness contracts cannot depend on student-athlete performance directly. In other words, their endorsements cannot be tied to such matters as how many points they score. However, if student-athletes’ performance slumps, they may become less attractive to companies.

Eventually, data will become STATE SEN. DAN HEGEMAN Room 332 201 W. Capitol Ave. Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415

available to assess the relationship between endorsement opportunities and on-field performance. If there is a strong correlation, this would make the name, image and likeness revenue closer to the pay-for-play between colleges and athletes that the NCAA seeks to avoid.

It’s not that the colleges are paying their players, but sponsors are paying players because they’re in college.

Money management Revenue generated through endorsement opportunities makes student-athletes independent business proprietors.

This requires them to file a specific type of tax form – known by the IRS as Schedule C – with places to record revenue and deductible expenses.

This, in turn, means it will be in the interest of professional service providers hired by the student-athletes, such as agents, tax advisers and marketing consultants, to help students deliver what the contracts stipulate, or risk losing out on future opportunities.

Student-athletes could benefit from being required to take a money management course.

However, such a course may not be enough to help students manage themselves as essentially a financial enterprise.

Some of these young people are coming into a sizable amount of money for the first time in their lives.

Not every student-athlete will have the benefit that incoming Tennessee State University freshman Hercy Miller has; his father, former NBA player and rap artist Master P, played a critical role in helping the young basketball player secure his $2 million ambassador deal with Web Apps America.

Student-athletes will now need an agent to help them with their business dealings. The NCAA may need to provide guidance for what such agents can and can’t do to guard against exploitation.

Student-athletes have much to gain from their new ability to do business, as do their sponsors. Unfortunately, without good agents and clear policies and rules, both student-athletes and their teams also have much to lose.

COMMUNITY/LOCAL Laredo

‘Quilt In A Night’ Is Held

Carol Wilford Jan Hoke and her daughter, Brittany McCullough of Independence spent Thursday, July 22 with Betty Gardner. They brought Betty a bushel of peaches and other food and enjoyed the day visiting. Later on in the day, they all drove over to see Jackie Owens. Jackie joined them in the air-conditioned car for a time of chatting.

Bonna Dittberner and Jackie Owens went to Dockery Chapel and enjoyed a meal of tenderloins on Saturday evening, July 24.

The Laredo Lions Club met on Monday, July 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the Laredo Community Building. After reciting the pledge, Dan Wilford opened the meeting with prayer. Then everyone enjoyed a carry-in meal.

Members present included Bonna Dittberner, Martha Owen, Margaret Chapman, Lewis Griffin, Dean Smalling, Cassidy Russell, and Dan and Carol Wilford. The guest speakers were Tim and Rhonda Michael of Trenton.

They gave an informative talk about the Green Hills Animal Shelter. It is a non-taxpayer facility; a ‘Promise Shelter,’ which means their goal is to do everything in their power to the best interest of the animal. The shelter can efficiently house 25 dogs and 25 cats. A variety of tasks are available for volunteers who love animals. They have a wide range of fund-raisers throughout the year and their next open house is Aug. 14. The Green Hills Animal Shelter can be seen on their website on Facebook. The next regular meeting of the Laredo Lions Club is Monday, Aug. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

Dan Wilford visited Children’s Camp at Grand Oaks Baptist Assembly in Chillicothe on Tuesday, July 27. Two children from his church in Milan were attending that week. Tuesday evening, he attended the magic show, performed by “Max,” a 16-year-old boy, which was held in the Hoover Theater at the Jewett Norris Library. The program was part of the summer reading program for children, which was sponsored by the library, but the community was also invited.

On Monday, Aug. 2, Carol Wilford drove to Grand Oaks Baptist Assembly, where she met up with her daughter, Mary Gonzalez and her sons, Sammy, Joshua and Andrew of Gladstone and their friends, Richie and Xochitl Elizalde of Kansas City. Sammy and Joshua and their friend Richie were attending children’s camp from August 2-5. As they were checking the boys into camp, Carol saw her niece, Laurie Frisbie, who was bringing her daughter Shaina to camp.

The Scrappy Quilter’s met at the First Baptist Church in Trenton for their second “Quilt in A Night” event. There were 19 members present that helped sew and create a quilt led by member Chris Newton. This quilt is made of half square triangles and put in the style called “Barn Raising.”

During the short business meeting the final details were given on the upcoming Shop Hop to the Crazy Red Head Quilt Shop in Newton, Iowa and Off the Rails Quilt shop in Bondurant, IA. The group will leave at 7:30 a.m. from the old Orscheln’s parking lot.

In other business, President Donna Wilson said that final numbers for the September retreat in Valley Falls, KS will be turned in on Aug. 4. The retreat dates are Sept.

23-25.

The group discussed the Missouri Days mini quilt show. Arrangements have been made with Jim Norris, the director of the Dorris Rider Art Gallery on the campus of North Central Missouri College to have a show during the Missouri Days Festival, Oct. 15 and 16. This show will feature the quilts of the guild members. Members were asked to see what items they might have to display as props and each member is asked to display at least two items. More details will be given at the September meeting.

Upcoming shows and events that members might like to attend are the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt Show sponsored by the Daviess County Quilt Guild, which will be held Aug.10-14. Pre-registration is required for this show.

The exhibit will be at the Gallatin Library during their open hours of Tuesday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..

The Northland Needlers Quilt Show will be held at the Hillside Christian Church in Kansas City Sept.17-18.

Sept. 4 - Oct. 25 will be the 2021 Quilt Extravaganza at the Harris-Kearney House in Kansas City. A special exhibit for this show will be antique quilts collected by Tammy Reid, wife of Andy Reid, coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. The show will be on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and group tours during the week can be arranged.

Show and Tell participants were Donna Wilson, Linda Mullins, Linda Hammond, Delores Kuttler, Betty Bevelle, Chris Newton and Cyndi Johnson.

The next regular meeting will be held on Sept. 7 beginning with the video program at 5:30 p.m. and the business meeting to follow at 6:30 p.m.

Bids

• From Front Page •

lier guesses on what it might cost were around $508,420, which included $349,00 plus $69,420 for the extra work on the bank on the north end of the project site. Members of the Grundy County Commission said they were not surprised at the high cost since the increase in materials is affecting prices of all projects at the moment.

“We’re just throwing darts in the dark on capital projects,” said Presiding Commissioner Phil Ray. First District Commissioner Don Sager said that on the bright side, at least the county is dealing with

products they can get, unlike some other projects.

Howe said the prices on some materials are only good for 30 days, so timing will be important.

The county is acting as the sponsor of the project and has entered into an agreement with the Grundy County Industrial Development Corporation, which provided the upfront money needed for engineering fees. The IDC also entered into a memorandum of understanding that it (the IDC) not the county, will be responsible for any overages that occur. The

bulk of the funding for the project is coming from the National Resource Conservation Service, but after the bid opening on Tuesday, IDC Treasurer Jackie Soptic said the group will need to raise an additional $200,000 from various sources to see the project come to fruition. Bids will not be accepted until the funding is secured.

In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, the commission appointed Cari Blackburn to the board of the Grundy County Health Department. She will replace Troy Crawford, who

resigned from the board due to moving from the area.

The commission will meet again Tuesday, with the only item listed on the agenda being a 9 a.m. mandatory pre-bid meeting with contractors for the concrete work to be done at the north entrance and the east side driveway of the courthouse.

Chicken Carcass Squabble Highlights Larger Issue In Iowa MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — A squabble over decaying chicken carcasses in Mason City is drawing attention to a larger struggle between some Iowa homeowners and farms.

Local officials say they aren't optimistic about stopping cases where homeowners complain about smells from nearby farming operations, according to the Mason City Globe Gazette.

“The problem is the state of Iowa is predominantly an ag state so when it comes to ag-related issues it’s tough for us to do much,” said Cerro Gordo County Public Health Director Brian Hanft.

Dan Breyfogle of Mason City has experienced the problem firsthand. He said that in July, two trucks deposited loads of chicken manure and carcasses on a farm property adjacent to his. The smell was overpowering, and Breyfogle and his wife complained to county officials, public

health officials, elected officials and officials from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Breyfogle said the case meandered its way through several agencies, who couldn't do much. Eventually, officials from an Iowa DNR field office contacted the offending party and got them to remove the chicken parts. But the DNR only had regulatory control over the chicken remains.

Hanft said his department does two things when they get a complaint: Send the offending property owner a notice, and reach out to the DNR. he acknowledged that, often, the DNR has little more authority than his agency to deal with such problems.

He said complaints are somewhat common this time of year because chicken materials can work as well as a fertilizer.

State Rep. Sharon Steckman said lawmakers may want to take a look at existing Iowa laws.

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension IMPORTANCE OF MINERALS IN CATTLE

by Jason C. Morris County Engagement Specialist, Agricultural Business Not all problems in cattle are due to mineral deficiencies. However, improvement in quality of forage is vital to successful farming operations. Cattle need suitable energy and protein to match demands in nutritional requirements during breeding, gestation, nursing and during weaning. Not only is availability of mineral important but so is mineral consumption. While cattle have different requirements during different times of the year related to their needs, there should be an average consumption for the year and that consumption level needs to be designated. This level can typically be found on a label or at the mineral dealer.

Mineral dealers are not only available to sell a product but are a source of information related to those products. Those dealers who sell substantial amount of minerals typically have data to represent their products.

This data allows them to address issues related to their mineral products for im-

provements. Also, this enables refinement of the product for specialized needs. It is important for beef producers to avoid making decisions based upon incomplete or faulty information. Understanding mineral nutrition is not an easy task, and issues may require specialized supplements that are produced on a nonconventional basis. Additionally, depending upon operation or cattle numbers, there could possibly be a discount per unit if purchased in bulk.

Cattle numbers per herd vary and with that some mineral requirements may be higher. Cattle producers have substantially increased cattle improvements through genetics and selective breeding. Often, those cattle who possess superior genetics often require more protein for calf growth and milk production. Research has also shown that some breeds including Charolais, Limousin and Simmental have more copper requirements when compared to other breeds. Supplementation can also correct imbalances in the herd as well. An example is high sulfur levels

NCMC To Host Farm Leases Program

in forage, which can be corrected with a supplement carrying copper. However, which form of copper is just as important as the amount.

Copper sulfate and copper chloride are more advantageous in feeding minerals, as copper oxide is actually a poor choice of copper.

Monitoring mineral consumption is important especially if mineral-related issues have been suspected. If animals have not had access to minerals, slow implementation may be needed. Problems related to new or increased mineral supplementation can include late breeders or sudden death of nursing cows. Always read and understand the labels on packaging, tubs or bags. If utilizing medicated mineral, it is important to know when and how much mineral to provide.

When reviewing the heard health and minerals, be aware how different minerals interact with each other when consumed by animals.

While some have relatively little interactions, others can actually cancel benefits if given too much of one or not enough of another.

The easiest means of regulating mineral needs is to look at the cattle and farming operation. If the calving rate is at least 90 to 95 percent, have healthy hides and minimum sickness, there may not be a need to reform the mineral program.

The Missouri Farm Leases Program will be held on Thursday evening, Sept. 2 at the North Central Missouri College Barton Farm Campus Conference Room in Trenton.

Topics that will be discussed at the program, which will be held from 6 to 9:15 p.m. include current cash rents in Missouri and trends; which items to discuss and agree on in a lease; terminating a farm lease – when and how to do it legally; recreational (hunting) leases – what you should be aware of; and livestock and crop share arrangements – keeping them fair for both sides.

There is a $40 per person charge or $65 per couple or two from the same farm operation. Registration includes one set of materials and a light meal. The meeting will also be presented via Zoom (online) if you prefer. Pre-registration is required by Aug. 31. Inperson space may be limited.

Register at https://extension.missouri.e du/events/missouri-farmleases-trenton or contact the Putnam County Extension Office at 660-9472705.

“Farm leases are a very hot topic right now with cash rents at their current level and crop prices staying higher, so landlords and tenants need to make certain they’re getting what they believe they should be” said Joe Koenen, Agricultural Business Specialist with University of Missouri Extension and one of the workshop presenters.

“There are many issues both farm landlords and tenants need to be aware of and this program is designed to address these issues” according to Joe. University of Missouri Extension is presenting this program. Joe and the other instructors have worked on farm leases with landlords and tenants for many years.

The program will be presented by Zoom so the audience can see and interact with all the instructors as well as other sites.

Schools Find Ways To Keep Gardening Lessons Blooming Like gardening in general, school gardening has become hugely popular during the pandemic, with families and teachers saying its hands-on lessons can be applied to many subjects.

Finding the expertise, labor and funding to keep a school garden going can be tough. But some experts and teachers are finding creative ways to make it work.

“Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With gardens, kids get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project, with tangible results,” says Susan Hobart, a retired elementary

school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison, Wisconsin, who now oversees the school's large garden with 12 raised beds.

“The gardens relax the kids and give them a whole different perspective they wouldn’t have just sitting at desk,” she says.

Each spring, the school's program gets plant seedlings grown through a training program at a nearby state prison. A church group comes during spring break to prepare the garden for the kids' return, and over the summer, an AmeriCorps volunteer takes care of the garden.

“If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says.

“If you take a look at your relationships and the community around you and

then all the wider networks out there, there are plenty of creative ways to find help.”

Interest in school gardens spiked dramatically when Michelle Obama planted a garden at the White House and invited schoolchildren to help, says Toby Adams, who directs the New York Botanical Garden’s 3-acre Edible Academy in the Bronx, where schoolchildren learn about growing food.

There’s been another burst of interest since the pandemic started.

School gardens can teach hands-on lessons in health, science, social studies, and even humanities and arts classes.

“Luckily, the big trend now is that there are more and more organizations and support networks, particularly regional networks, to help support school gardens,” says Adams. “And online learning has really exploded since the pandemic.”

“Giving kids the opportunity to move outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it — that’s huge,” he says.

For schools without

space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer.

“We are located in the Bronx, which is basically wall to wall six-story apartment buildings. There’s limited space, and vandalism, and it’s hard to find a good place to gather 30 kids, not to mention issues like water access,” says Adams.

“Gardening doesn’t have to be a big patch outdoors.

It could be a container garden, a hydroponic garden — there are all kinds of gardens and ways it can work,” he says.

Hobart suggests finding a Master Gardener program, sometimes offered through universities, since graduates must put in a number of hours of free labor to earn their certification. “It’s taken us 10 years to get here, but we did it,” she says.

Nathan Larson, who leads the Cultivate Health Initiative, a collaborative project involving the University of Wisconsin-Madison and statewide partners to support Wisconsin’s school gardens, says his “aha” moment came when he realized the group was

supporting two gardens within 5 miles of each other, and neither knew the other existed.

“It became clear that teachers and parents involved with school gardens felt isolated and didn’t know where to turn for support,” says Larson, who wrote a free downloadable book, Teaching in Nature's Classroom.

At the national level, two major resources for school gardens are The National Farm to School Network and the School Garden Support Organization Network.

There’s also the National Children and Youth Garden Symposium, organized by the American Horticulture Society to train teachers and others. The symposium is held in a different part of the country each year; the past two years, it was held online.

Life Lab, based in Santa Cruz, California, offers workshops for educators across the country on how to engage young people in gardens and on farms. The Junior Master Gardener Program is a youth gardening program run by Texas A&M University’s cooperative Extension network.

Grundy County Back to School Event Hosted by Bright Futures Trenton Thursday, August 12th Locations: First Christian Church Activity Center and Fellowship Hall, First Baptist Church Activity Center, First Assembly of God Activity Center, Rissler Elementary Gym, Humphrey’s Elementary School, Spickard School Gym, Laredo School, Trenton Cinema, Moberly Park and Trenton Aquatic Center Purpose: This is a needs-based event to help students and families in meeting basic needs as they prepare to go back to school.

Bright Futures Trenton is partnering with area churches, Hy-Vee, Kiwanis, County Schools and many other businesses, community organizations, and agencies to coordinate donations and services to help school families in meeting basic needs.

Community engagement: Many area churches, community organizations, businesses, and individuals are sharing their time, treasure, and talent to meet the needs of our school families. We are striving to help the community be smarter with the resources we already have.

What people need to know: Needs based event. We ask parents/guardians to attend all events with their student(s). Efforts are being made to follow safety guidelines through social distancing, limiting numbers in each facility, encouraging masks, and providing hand sanitizer. For the protection of all participants, a head check will be conducted before a student can receive a haircut.

Like and follow Bright Futures Trenton on Facebook Events Pass the Pride Bright Futures Trenton has been collecting gently used Trenton Bulldog apparel

from the community since last April for this event. Trenton citizens have been very responsive in donating clothing to be shared with families in need. Our goal is to make the clothing available to students who may not otherwise be able to afford a Trenton Bulldog t-shirt or sweatshirt. On August 12th those students may choose an article of clothing for their use.

School Supplies Our community has really stepped up to help with providing backpacks and school supplies for students who might not otherwise be able to purchase the necessary supplies for their school year. Businesses have joined in, as well as, individuals, in making donations to get supplies in the hands of students who need them. Trenton students will go to the First Christian Church Activity Center, Spickard students will go to the Spickard School gym, Laredo students will visit the Laredo School, and Grundy R-V will hand out supplies and backpacks to their students at the Humphreys Elementary School.

Gym Shoes Recycled gym shoes have been washed and sorted by ladies at Wesley United Methodist to offer to students who may need a pair of gym shoes, in addition to a pair of shoes for school. These shoes were donated by students at the end of school last year through the Boy Scouts’ Gym Shoe Dash.

Clothing Room The First Baptist Church is sponsoring a clothing room for families in need at this event. They will have like new clothing to choose from, in all sizes, available at no cost.

Shoe Ministry Hodge Presbyterian’s New Soles for Bright Futures ministry will be providing

new shoes to students. Church members held a Drive-thru Tenderloin fundraiser recently to generate funds to purchase shoes for this needs-based ministry. They have also collected shoe donations from their congregation and from the Trenton community for this event. Students who need a new pair of tennis shoes to start the school year will find that help here. Students must be present to receive a pair of shoes.

Socks Convoy of Hope and Coon Creek Baptist Church donated Bombas socks and Toms shoes to be handed out at the event.

Those items will be offered at Rissler Elementary Gym, along with the Hodge Presbyterian Shoe Ministry.

Basic Haircuts Eight hairstylists are volunteering their time to provide basic back to school haircuts at no charge. For the health and protection of all students, a private head check will be conducted before a student receives a haircut.

Suds for Students First Assembly of God church members are offering a variety of hygiene items to students-toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.

Information Stations 12 Information Stations will be set up sharing resources about their programs that support students and families. Several of those will have giveaways to share with those who visit their booths. Those attending will be: North Central Missouri Mental Health and Show Me Hope Preferred Family Healthcare Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri Boy Scouts

Girl Scouts University of Missouri ExtensionSNAP Salvation Army North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center Work 4 Success-Bright Futures NCMC MOPS & MOMSnext of Green Hills Life Options Green Hills Trenton Cinema 2:00-5:00 Jim and Maggie Bush at the Trenton Cinema want to invite students and families to come by for some free popcorn and pop, between 2 and 5 pm. They will also offer a free family movie at 2 pm.

Moberly Park 6:00-7:00 Hy-Vee Food Store of Trenton is partnering with Trenton Kiwanis to provide a cookout at Moberly Park for families participating in the days’ events. Hot dogs, chips, water, and a cookie will be available for the first 150 attendees.

Trenton Aquatic Center 6:30-8:30 Bright Futures Trenton is providing a pool party for families who participate in the day’s events from 6:30-8:30 at the Trenton Aquatic Center.

Bright Futures volunteer co-coordinators are Lynn Griffin at Terri Critten.

This is our fourth annual event.

We have over 40 Bright Futures Volunteers helping that day, in addition to the volunteers recruited by the individual churches. Many additional volunteers have shopped for shoes, packed backpacks with supplies, sorted and laundered clothing, made signs, and helped in many other ways.

Dear Annie: My heart hurts so much. Last January, my nephew was diagnosed with leukemia. He is 3 years old. He is only a little boy. He is so strong, and he tries to be a happy little guy. My sister is always talking about my nephew and how his appointments go, and that is fine; I want to hear about them and to know what the next steps are. But here is my problem. I also have a beautiful niece. She is 9 years old. I know my sister loves her very much, but it seems as if she gets put on the back burner when it comes to her brother. My question is: How can I bring this up to my sister without starting a fight? -Auntie of Two Dear Auntie: I'm so sorry about your little nephew. It's understandable that your sister is fully focused on getting him well and hasn't considered how it may be affecting her daughter. When it comes to matters of life and death, people are prone to getting tunnel vision.

Rather than confront your sister about this issue right now -- which might add guilt to the emotional burden she's already carrying -- take actions on your own to see that your niece feels loved. A family isn't just nuclear, after all. If your sister sees you showering her daughter with love, she will appreciate it, and it may gently nudge her to consider whether she is spending enough time with her, too. Either way, your niece will be grateful for the bonding time with her awesome aunt.

Dear Annie: My friend and I were talking about people who threaten suicide if their partner leaves them.

I thought this was just an immature and overly dramatic response to a breakup and not something the person making the threat had any intention of going through with. However, my friend revealed to me that this actually happened to a friend of hers. Her friend was seeing an older man who had another girlfriend at the time. This girlfriend

threatened to kill herself if he left her. And then she did.

So I guess my question is: What should you do when your partner threatens suicide if you leave? -Steph in San Diego Dear Steph: When a partner or anyone threatens suicide, you must take it seriously. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. The people there will help you assess the situation and determine what actions you can take and the resources available in your state.

I hope that man knows that what happened to his girlfriend was not his fault.

If someone is threatening suicide if a partner leaves, there are underlying mental health problems that need professional treatment.

Smartphone resurgence Smartphone sales are rising as more consumers upgrade to devices that will connect to ultrafast 5G wireless networks and affluent households use some of the savings they stockpiled during pandemic lockdowns to splurge on the latest technology.

Those factors contributed to a 13% increase in phone shipments during the April-June period compared to last year, based on preliminary estimates by the research firm International Data Corp.

Longtime industry leader Samsung was the pacesetter yet again, but China’s Xiaomi surged into the second spot for the first time in IDC’s quarterly rankings. Xiaomi primarily

benefited from a downturn in Huawei sales triggered

by U.S. trade sanctions preventing its phones from using popular Google apps and other software.

Although it trailed both Samsung and Xiaomi in overall shipments, Apple led the market for premium phones. That helped Apple bring in 50% more revenue from smartphone sales during the quarter than last year, even though IDC estimates its device shipments rose by a more modest 18%.

The big question now is whether smartphone manufacturers will be able to continue to get all the parts they need to keep meeting consumer demand amid a persisting shortage of chips.

More people snapped up new phones during the spring as the pandemic eased, but now the big question is whether shortages of computer chips and other components will hurt sales during the second half of the year.
