Election Scam Is Reported

Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard is warning residents about a scam involving voter registration. According to information Mrs. Spickard provided from the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office, officials in two states have confirmed that residents are receiving calls, supposedly from TurboVote, offering to register residents over the phone and in at least one state, offering to send the voter an absentee ballot. This is not allowed and the caller is collecting personal identifying information if the resident agrees to participate. TurboVote has been contacted and said the group is not making the calls. According to the information provided by the Secretary of State’s Office, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies have been notified of the incidents. **********

The hot, dry summer might have taken its toll on area lawns and crops, but it made for a good year at the Trenton Family Aquatic Center according to a report presented at Wednesday evening’s Trenton Park Board meeting. TFAC Manager Alexis Whitney told the board that attendance was just short of 13,000 during the 2018 season, up from 11,600 in 2017. Receipts from the front desk and concessions were also up, with $73,000 coming in this year compared to $67,000 in 2017. The board had projected income from pool receipts and concessions to total $66,750, so the higher number was good news. Of the amount of income, $11,000 came in the form of credit cards, with Ms. Whitney noting that it has been very good to have that payment option. Ms. Whitney reported that 96 family passes were sold for the season, with 61 single passes, 25 senior passes and 16 lap swim passes sold. Those figures were about the same as the year before. Thirtyfive pool parties were held, including one large four-hour party for Smithfield and one morning party held for the Gallatin

Project Updates Given

summer school students. As for safety, Ms. Whitney noted that there were 35 “saves” this year, meaning the lifeguard got off the stand and went into the water to bring a swimmer out. None resulted in CPR being administered or a backboard being used. She said the main cause of a “save” is children not realizing how deep the water is where the lily pads are located. She suggested some type of foam be placed on the basketball backboard in the three-foot water to increase safety due to children jumping off the side near that area and hitting their heads on the backboard. Two children did that this summer, with one requiring stitches. Ms. Whitney told board members that the 2019 season will be her last as TFAC manager and encouraged them to seek a replacement that can serve as assistant manager in the upcoming season and be getting on-the-job training to take over as manager in the summer of 2020. In another issue involving the aquatic center, Park Superintendent Jason Shuler said the floatable lily pads have been shipped to Florida, where they will be refurbished and placed back at the pool next

summer. Both Shuler and Ms. Whitney noted that the floatables in the zero-entry pool are in their last stages of use and will not likely be repaired when they can no longer be utilized. Board members heard updates on several projects from Shuler, who said the bathroom renovation project at Burleigh Grimes Field is progressing, with the facility gutted and painted. Plastic stall dividers will be used and Shuler said he is waiting on the metal now for the frames on the dividers. Second Ward City Councilman Brad Chumbley, who serves as a liaison to the board, asked if North Central Missouri College, which uses the field for baseball games, has contributed to the bathroom renovation project. Board President Duane Helmandollar said the bathroom facility belongs to the park system and that NCMC “pays their share” for use of Grimes Field. Shuler’s update on the tree plan at Moberly and Eastside parks indicated that both plans have been completed and 95 trees have been planted, including 57 See Park, Page 7

Museum Hours Extended For Car Show

Special hours for the Grundy County Museum will be in effect this Saturday to coincide with and support the car show on Main Street, with the museum extending hours to 7:30 p.m. There will be no fees during these extended hours and an antique mileage calculator sign from the Helmandollar Motor Company will be on display. The mileage and route calculator (around 1920) was the GPS of Grundy County. Only six days remain to see the museum’s 2018 sports exhibit, Hometown Teams, as the museum will close for the season on Oct. 21. The exhibit identifies and celebrates the records of Grundy County’s athletes competing on American Legion teams, Trenton Merchants Teams, TBA and county K-12 public schools and North Central Missouri College. In addition to a display of sports equipment and school memorabilia, such as uniforms and trophies, 25 information and photo panels highlight each of Grundy County’s five schools and all the sports played by high school teams. Video interviews run continuously as local sports personalities recall their experiences as players and coaches, for example Mike Arbuckle, Jerry Lafferty, Ron Hurst, Wes Croy, Steve Marlay and Steve Hudson. Regular exhibit hours at the museum are 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Groups can be accommodated at other times.

Trenton Routs Lafayette, Falls To Maryville

The Trenton High School tennis team saw the team portion of the season come to a close this week in the Class 1, District 16 Tournament. Trenton scored a 5-0 win over Lafayette on Monday in the quarterfinals at home on the THS tennis courts. Tuesday brought the close to the team season, however, as Maryville sent Trenton out with a 5-2 loss at the Northwest Missouri State University tennis courts. vs. LAFAYETTE Trenton guaranteed itself a district semifinal dual for the fourth year in a row with a 5-0 victory over Lafayette on Monday at the THS tennis courts. Trenton dominated the Irish in the dual, sweeping doubles play before posting two more wins in singles play to wrap up the 5-0 win. Emma Gilham and Lexi Gott scored an 8-2 win and the teams of Elle Neal and Latorrie Johnson and Kendall Crowley and Morgan Dolan added 8-1 victories. When the action turned to singles play, Gilham netted a 6-4, 6-0 win and Crowley won 6-0, 6-0 to seal the match. All other singles matches were

stopped in progress when Trenton reached its fifth win. vs. MARYVILLE Maryville proved to be too much for the Bulldogs on Tuesday, bumping Trenton from the district tournament with a 5-2 loss. Gilham and Gott scored an 8-3 win in doubles play, but Maryville scored wins of 8-5 over Neal and Johnson and Crowley and Dolan. In singles play, Gilham won again, topping Maryville’s number-one player 7-3, 6-4, winning the first set on a 7-3 tiebreaker. Maryville controlled the action from that point on as Neal lost 6-4, 6-3, Crowley fell 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) and Gott lost 6-3, 46, 1-6. Following Gott’s loss, the remaining two singles matches were stopped in progress as Maryville had reached its fifth win. The Bulldogs closed the team portion of the season with a 9-7 overall record. Trenton’s players will see action in the individual singles and doubles district tournament on Saturday in Savannah.

Three Trenton High School golfers set out with a goal of advancing to sectionals on Monday at the Class 1, District 6 Tournament at the Green Hills Golf Course in Chillicothe. For Werthen Gass and Maci Henson, that goal came to fruition as the two Trenton golfers punched tickets to next week’s sectional tournament. Gass carded an 82 to once again pace Trenton. The score earned her a third-place finish individually behind only Hamilton’s Samantha Cornelius and Kirksville’s Abigail Boyer. Gass has been a state qualifier each of the past two seasons and put herself on track to make a return trip with the performance at districts. “Werthen played excellent,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “I thought she played very relaxed and confident. When she does that, her scores reflect the kind of player she is. She moved up a spot from

player not to advance after the Bulldogs sent just three players to districts, leaving the younger, less experienced golfers at home. Madden shot a 156 - a score that wasn’t helped by a rough start for the junior. “Oakley got off to a very rough start on her first three holes,” Mullenix said. “She struggled on the practice range before we even started. It just wasn’t her day. She has one more year to take that next step so, hopefully, she’ll get after it this off season.” For Gass and Henson, the season will continue next Monday when they travel to Heritage Hills Golf Course in Moberly for the Class 1, Section 3 Tournament. The top 15 players not on one of the top two finishing teams will advance to the MSHSAA Girls Golf Championships the following week.

FAB FIVE FINALE HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

Trenton Bulldogs 11, Marceline Tigers 0 - 6 Innings

Trenton Rolls To 11-0 Senior Night Victory

The first inning of the Trenton High School softball team’s match-up with the Marceline Tigers on Monday night ended with senior Ainsley Tolson being thrown out at third base. The second inning began with a Marceline runner reaching base on an error, then Tolson throwing the ball into centerfield trying to start a double play for an error of her own. It was not the start Trenton’s pitcher was likely looking for on her Senior Night. But Tolson, with two on and no one out, dug deep and struck the next three batters out in succession to end the threat. The masterful series of pitches to escape the jam was just the latest in a long line of lasting memories for a group of seniors that have captivated the community over the last four years. And it wasn’t the last. Trenton’s five senior players combined for 11 of the team’s 14 hits, leading the Bulldogs to an 11-0 win over Marceline in potentially the group’s last game on Griffin Field. “Classes like this don’t come along often,” Trenton Head Coach John Cowling said. “It’s been an incredibly fun journey over the last four seasons to coach these five girls. The influence that they have had on this program will last for years to come.” Tolson would only allow two more runners the rest of the way as she fired a two-hit shutout, walking one and striking out nine. The shutout was the 14th of the season for Trenton, tying the 2009 state runner-up team for the school

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL Trenton Bulldogs 2, Lathrop Mules 1

Bulldog Netters Fall In District Rematch, 7-2

The Trenton High School volleyball team traveled to Lathrop on Tuesday, where the team repeated a win over Lathrop from last week’s Lathrop Tournament. Trenton picked up the second win in as many weeks over the Mules on their own home floor by a score of 20-25, 25-21, 25-22. All three games were back and forth, coming right down to the wire each time. After coming up short in the initial game, Trenton prevailed by slim margins in the latter two to secure the ninth victory of the season. With the win, Trenton im-

her finish last year at districts and was close to Boyer, who is a great golfer for Kirksville.” Henson, meanwhile, carded a 107 and placed 17th overall. The finish was well within the top 15 players not from Chillicothe - which won the tournament with a score of 389 - or Kirksville - which was runner-up with a mark of 395. Those two teams advance to sectionals along with the top 15 individuals not from those schools. This marked the second year in a row Henson qualified for sectionals “Maci is turning the corner and playing some very competitive golf,” Mullenix said. “She just needs to avoid those few holes where she gets a big number and she’ll be shooting in the 40’s. I’m very happy for her to be able to make it through to sectionals again. Our district is pretty tough so it’s quite an accomplishment.” Oakley Madden was the lone Trenton

proved to 9-11-3 overall. The nine wins tie this year’s team with the 2000 and 2002 teams for the second most in school history. Trenton’s 12 wins last season is the school record. vs. CHILLICOTHE On Monday, Trenton traveled to Chillicothe, where the Bulldogs were handed a loss in straight sets. The Bulldogs fell 25-8 in game one, but showed more fight in the second game, falling 25-17. Trenton will be back on the court next Monday, playing host to the Lexington Minutewomen. Action in the THS gym is set to begin at 5 p.m.

record. The win also pushed this senior class’s record to 9012 across their four years - the 90 wins also being a school record. The game ended in the sixth inning when senior Salem Croy rocketed a three-run home run to left and a two-run bomb by Sidney Lynch two batters later forced the run rule. Tolson was three-for-four at the plate with a double, Croy was two-for-four with the home run and five RBIs and Lynch was two-for-four with her home run and two RBIs. Senior Mykah Hurley went two-for-two with a double and an RBI and senior Taylor Richman was two-for-four. “I thought we handled the emotions that go along with senior night extremely well,” Cowling said. “It was great to see this senior class go out and dominate in their last home

game. I couldn’t have written a better ending than Salem and Sidney’s home runs.” Outside of the senior class, Maci Moore was two-for-four with a double and an RBI and McKayla Blackburn drove in a run as well. The win moved Trenton to 20-2 overall on the season and came on the heels of just the team’s second loss of the season, a 6-3 defeat in the championship game of the Centralia Tournament. “This team was determined to bounce back from our loss on Saturday,” Cowling said. “They did it tonight in a big way.” JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity lost a close one, falling 6-5 to Marceline’s second squad. Trenton jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead through three innings thanks in large part to a three-run inside-the-park

home run for Gracyn Rongey. But the defense could not hold as Marceline plated six runs in their last two half innings to grab a 6-5 lead. Trenton fought back and loaded the bases in the bottom of the fifth, but a smooth defensive play on a hard-hit ball shut the Bulldogs down in the inning and ended the game. “We looked a little rusty on defense tonight, but overall, I was proud of the effort we showed.” Trenton JV Coach Kameron Cool said. Rongey led the Bulldogs, going two-for-two with three RBIs and two runs scored. Shay Westerhof also went twofor-two adding two stolen bases and a run scored. Kammi Phillips rounded out the hit column for the JV, going one-for-two witha single. The loss dropped the JV to 2-6 overall on the season.

For the second time in as many nights, the Trenton High School softball team run-ruled a Linn County school. After defeating Marceline at home on Senior Night on Monday, Trenton traveled to Brookfield and made short work of their fellow Bulldogs, returning home with a 14-2 win in six innings on Tuesday. Trenton was on Brookfield from the get-go, plating five runs in the top of the first inning. The Bulldogs would score in each of the first four innings, taking a 10-0 lead into the fifth. Brookfield was able to extend the life of the game by a frame, scoring two in the bottom of the fifth to fend off the run rule. Trenton answered

with four in the top of the sixth, however, and that would be it. Ainsley Tolson was the winning pitcher for Trenton, working four scoreless frames and allowing four hits while striking out four. McKayla Blackburn threw the fifth and sixth, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out five. At the plate, Blackburn was four-for-four with a double and Mykah Hurley was fourfor-five with two doubles and two RBIs. Taylor Richman was three-for-four with a home run, double and two RBIs and Sidney Lynch had her second home run in as many nights, going two-for-four with the long ball and three RBIs.

Maci Moore and Lexi Whitaker were each two-forfour with a double and Whitaker added a pair of RBIs. Chandler Lynch had an RBI for Trenton as well. With the win, Trenton improved to 21-2 overall on the season. The Bulldogs traveled to Cameron on Thursday. Information from that game can be found at www.republicantimes.com. Trenton closes the regular season on Monday, traveling to Chillicothe to take on the Hornets at 5 p.m. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity fell 12-7 to Brookfield, dropping the team to 2-7 overall.

Trenton @ South Harrison Trenton’s Secondary Gets Another Test

For the Trenton Bulldogs, the last two weeks have been agonizing. After garnering the first and only win of the season to date in week four against Putnam County, Trenton has gone to battle twice and missed on wins that were certainly in play as late as midway through the third quarter. In week five against Princeton, Trenton’s secondary broke down in the third quarter, allowing Tiger quarterback Cam Hartley to build a lead the Bulldogs fell a touchdown shy of erasing in the end. In week six against Milan, Trenton was down one score with the ball halfway through the third quarter. Again, the defense broke down in the passing game and Milan’s Ryan Dabney hit the Bulldogs for some big passes to allow the Wildcats to pull away and remain undefeated. Entering week seven, Trenton will attempt to erase the issues it has had defending the pass in the last two weeks and the Bulldogs hope that is

enough to put them over the top once again. “I think stopping South Harrison’s passing game is something that we have to make sure we do well,� Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell said. “Really, since Princeton exposed us we have been suspect and I think Milan did the same thing. We even gave up some passes against Putnam County. So, I think until we can show we can stop the pass, teams will continue to attack our secondary.� The task won’t be any easier

in week seven as South Harrison features a strong quarterback in his own right - Cody Weller. Weller has the tools to have a day like Hartley and Dabney had against Trenton if the Bulldogs don’t muster up a better performance, both guarding the pass and pressuring the quarterback. If Trenton needs a blueprint on how to defend South Harrison’s passing game, though, they have one drawn up last week by Gallatin. Weller was picked off twice and both interceptions were returned for

touchdowns. Gallatin’s defense also got two points off a safety in that game. But, South Harrison’s defense - led by defensive coordinator Erik Coffey, who guided Trenton’s defense from 2012 through 2015 - will be a challenge. In last week’s game, South Harrison limited the Gallatin offense to just one touchdown. The offensive errors were too much to overcome, however, as Gallatin took the game 23-22. Trenton and South Harrison kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Quick Look At The South Harrison Bulldogs

Head Coach: Chris Schoning, 2nd year at South Harrison 2018 Record: 4-2, 3-1 GRC Last Week: Lost 23-22 at Gallatin South Harrison held a 22-9 lead over Gallatin at one point last week, but Gallatin came back, scoring the decisive blow on a pick six in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs’ defense was strong, allowing Gallatin just one touchdown. But the offense struggled, yielding two points on a safety and throwing two interceptions returned for TDs. Who To Watch: Cody Weller, Sr. (5-11, 163), QB #9 Despite the two costly interceptions he threw last week, Weller is one of the Grand River Conference’s better quarterbacks. With how Trenton’s secondary has struggled against Princeton’s Cam Hartley and Milan’s Ryan Dabney in the last two weeks, Weller has to be Trenton’s focus in week seven. Weller is also a threat on defense, having returned an interception of his own for a touchdown two weeks ago against Maysville.

Grundy 2-1 In Milan Tournament

The Grundy R-5 High School softball team ran a 2-1 record on Saturday at the Milan Tournament. The Panthers opened the day against Green City, who defeated Grundy 150 the night before. With both teams starting with different pitchers, Grundy picked up an 8-3 win. The Panthers followed that up with an 18-5 win over Novinger, before falling 210 to the host school - Milan - in the finale. Hannah Garcia was the winning pitcher in the Saturday game with Green City and doubled and drove in two runs at the plate. In the win over Novinger, Emily Otto tripled and drove in three runs while Bri Carpio went three-for-four with a triple. On Tuesday, Grundy scored a 16-6 win over Novinger at home in Galt. The Panthers got a home run, double and RBI from Otto and a triple and three RBIs from Anna Milazzo. Abby Webb doubled and drove home three runs and Abigail Mathews tripled and had two RBIs. Dorothy Mathews also had a triple and an RBI. Garcia was again the winning pitcher for the Panthers. On Wednesday night, the Panthers were in make-up action, falling 14-4 to East Harrison. Milazzo was three-for-three with a double and three RBIs in the loss while Otto went threefor-three as well with one RBI. Grundy is now 6-10 overall on the season.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart

National Newspaper Week

“A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.” That’s according to Arthur Miller, the well-known American playwright. In our case, I guess you could say that it is a community talking to itself. National Newspaper week begins Sunday and runs all next week and we want to take the opportunity to remind people of the function we serve in a free society. We are not only the eyes and ears for the public, but also the vehicle for persons to find out what is going on Wendell Lenhart in their community - the original “social media” before there was such a thing as social media. Besides being reflective of what is going on in our community and area with births, deaths and other happenings, we also help inform the public of how their money is being spent. The tax money that is collected on the city, county, state and national level is being spent on many services provided by government on all levels and taxpayers want, and deserve, to know how those funds are being spent. And we do that every week by reporting on city council, school board, county commission and county board meetings. Maybe even more important is proposed spending. Readers find out those things through required public notices for bids to purchase goods and services and proposed budgets for different entities. An important function in this regard is coming up later this month when the State of Missouri will be publishing the proposed amendments to the constitution which will be on the November ballot. That will be a 12-page section which will be included in four editions of the newspaper, beginning on Friday, Oct. 19. Although it will be rather lengthy, it will contain all the information in its entirety about the proposed amendments, which readers can study at their leisure and learn as much or as little as they wish. I believe readers look to us to inform them by taking difficult and complex issues and meetings and putting them into an easy-to-understand format that they can read and understand. We are proud to do that and are proud to be able to serve our community and region. That’s community journalism and it’s what we do. What takes place on the national level now doesn’t seem to be related to that anymore.

Reader Thankful For Newspaper Letters to the Editor

To The Editor: Thanks for all the years of paper service. I have been a subscriber since about 1950 and have a great appreciation for the paper and its staff. Max Oyler Trenton, MO

Community Journalism Matters Because Communities Matter

What Others Are Saying.... Parson Should Sign Bill

We encourage Gov. Mike Parson to sign a bill that will position our state better to compete in the evergrowing technology field.

Guest Editorials

Parson called a special legislative session in September, in part to fix a flawed version of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) bill that passed during the regular session. The Legislature delivered, passing House Bill 3. The measure deals with computer science, expanding course opportunities for high school students, creating a certification process for teachers, establishing a fund for any future public and private financial support, and developing curriculum standards. It also would create a STEM awareness program for middle school students. On Tuesday, we reported the bill has widespread support from business and education interests. Code.org's "2018 State of Computer Science Education — Policy and Implementation" report notes, "Universities in the state did not graduate a single new teacher prepared to teach computer science in 2016." That's true for other states as well, according to the report. If Parson does sign HB3, the Legislature must follow

up with increased funding to hire teachers qualified to teach in the different areas of technology, plus funding for professional development for those teachers. Getting tech teachers in rural areas is particularly a challenge. The report notes 37 percent of urban schools in Missouri teach computer science, but only 26 percent of rural schools do. Gender, geographic, racial, ethnic and economic disparities also exist. Code.org's report found just 20 percent of advanced placement computer science exams were taken by females in 2017, and only 10 percent were taken by minorities. Among other things, the legislation would allow high school computer science credits to count toward a math, science or practical arts credit needed for graduation. The legislation also would create an online course intended to boost career awareness for science, technology, engineering and mathematics professions. Katie Hendrickson, director of state government affairs for Code.org, said Missouri doesn't have nearly enough computer science graduates to fill the 10,130 computing job openings in the state. We urge Parson to sign the bill, which we believe will keep our state competitive in STEM jobs, while also increasing opportunities for our youth to enter technology careers. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Those signing up for a Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as MA or Part C) still receive their Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical coverage). However, they will receive their coverage from a private insurer, and not from Original Medicare. Those with a Medicare Advantage Plan will continue to pay their Part B premium and may also pay an extra premium for the plan. While Medicare Advantage Plans typically impose deductibles and copays, they have an annual out-of-pocket limit (unlike Original Medicare). Once these out-ofpocket limits are met, the plan will pay 100% of the insured' s medical bills for the remainder of the year. Individuals opting for a Medicare Advantage Plan are not permitted to simultaneously have a Medigap policy. Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer extra coverage, like vision, hearing, dental, and/or health and wellness programs. ASSURE MISSOURI & ASSOCIATES understands that each individual and/or family has unique personal needs related to their health insurance coverage. We specialize in individual and group health insurance, annuities, long term care plans, and Medicare supplements. We evaluate your financial limitations, coverage needs, and your specific provider (Dr. and hospital) preferences to help you select a suitable program from the best options available in your area.

NW Missouri Horticulture

by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist A SHORT HISTORY OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS

When you think of autumn flowers, one of the first ones that come to mind is the chrysanthemum. Years ago, I came across a history of chrysanthemum cultivation, published by the University of Virginia. It provides a good example of a plant that was originally found in another part of the world and was eventually brought to the Americas. Chrysanthemums originated in China, and were mentioned by Confucius around 500 B.C. They were introduced to Japan in the 4th century A.D. for medicinal purposes. But it wasn’t until 1688 that traders brought a few plants back to Europe. Those few plants died, and no

further efforts to import chrysanthemums were made until 1789. In that year, one single plant made the voyage from China to France, and this time the plant survived. Chrysanthemums were ideally suited to the climate around Marseilles, and soon the plant was propagated and sold. A few years later, exhibitions were being held. The first record of mums being brought to the United States is in 1798, when John Stevens of New Jersey imported them. They soon became popular, and by 1830, they were being exhibited in flower shows in Boston.

Prolonged heat stress this year may bring a smaller calf crop next year. Herd owners are seeing cows known to be pregnant coming back into heat to be rebred. Pregnancy losses are due to several reasons, says Scott Poock, University of Missouri Extension veterinarian. “The first is increased internal temperature of the cow.” In July, a northern Missouri  beef herd owner saw his bull breeding cows that were known to be pregnant from an earlier pregnancy check. Poock said, “It’s probably heat stress.” To find out more, he took his ultrasound device to the field for rechecks of pregnancies. “Roughly, we saw 20 percent open in herds on average. There are a few outstanding

New sire selection rules for Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers improve reliable calvingease genetics. “Bulls used in the heifer program will carry DNA-tested EPDs (expected progeny differences),” said Jared Decker, University of Missouri Extension geneticist. The rules going into effect Feb. 1, 2019, were set by the SMS governing board of farmers. “DNA tests add reliability to EPDs for selecting herd bulls,” Decker said. Bulls for pasture-breeding heifers will carry genomic-enhanced EPDs. In the past, EPDs were based on pedigree and production tests. “Now GE EPDs combine DNA, pedigree and production data into a single tool,” he said. “DNA tests give results similar to 28 calvingease production records,” Decker said. “More data boost confidence in a sire.” With DNA tests, EPDs result from checking blood drops, tissue samples or hair root bulbs. Blood or tissue tests are preferred, Decker said. A one-time test adds data on young bulls equal to years of production testing. It lasts a lifetime. Bulls bought before Feb. 1 will be grandfathered in, but those bulls must get GE EPDs by Feb. 1, 2020. Seedstock producers advertising their bulls as “Show-Me-Select qualified” draw more bidders. Sires promoted as Show-Me-Select now must have GE EPDs. SMS heifers gained fame for calving ease that cut death losses and labor at calving. Spring and fall SMS auctions across the state bring higher bids for calving-ease genetics. Buyers pay premiums to lower assisted births with first-calf heifers. In the past, high death losses took out heifers entering the herd. In recent SMS sales, heifers with genomic

exceptions, but they bred early in April prior to May heat.” At the MU Foremost Dairy, Poock found up to 25 percent loss of pregnancies after early pregnancy diagnosis (30-32 days of gestation). He also found dead embryos from AI breeding from mid-May through June. “I am getting lots of calls on this,” Poock added. “The early embryo is sensitive to   temperatures above normal body heat,” he says. However, at six to eight days the embryo becomes heat-tolerant. “Early heat stress could lead to embryo loss right away. Those cows come back into heat on schedule.” High temperatures also disrupt ovarian and uterine functions. That affects quality of the egg, with oocytes being

tests bring highest premium prices. More genetic data beyond calving ease, especially on carcass traits, came into SMS over time. Quality beef brings premium prices. SMS was started 21 years ago by Dave Patterson, MU Extension reproduction specialist. Now, SMS brings buyers to Missouri for replacements in cow-calf herds. Only Missouri produces SMS heifers. Herd owners enroll in a yearlong MU Extension education program. Regional livestock specialists guide the heifer program. SMS teaches management as well as genetics. “The program goes beyond typical heifer development,” Decker said. One example: Reproduction tract scores on all heifers before breeding. Then pregnancy checks follow within 90 days after breeding starts. Veterinarian tract scores rank stages of puberty, from one to five. Heifers slow to develop can be culled. That cuts costs, boosts conception rates and shortens calving seasons. Bulls used for pasture breeding or AI breeding must meet required EPDs. SMS heifers meet a goal of predictable results as 2-year-olds, Decker said. First-calf heifers often have problems. Those difficult first births can lead to late rebreeding. “Genomic testing adds EPD predictability and reliability. That cuts risks,” Decker said. Show-Me-Select sales show repeat buyers bid more for added genetic data. “Seedstock producers provide this as more customer service,” Decker said. “There are many strategies for meeting the new rules.”   Herd owners join SMS through county MU Extension centers.

compromised. Fertilization occurs, but the fertilized egg does not develop normally. The embryo dies later. “Those cows return to heat at strange intervals,” Poock says. “I have reports of beef cows showing heats at 30 to 50 days after timed AI. These cows likely conceived but then lost their embryo.” Heat stress also affects bulls with cow herds. “Heat decreases sperm quality, which leads to decreased pregnancies,” he says. Herd owners ask what to do with non-pregnant cows. “With the lack of grass and hay, these open cows rise to the top of the list for culling,” Poock says. “In a normal year, I might evaluate genetics of individual cows to see whether to move them to the fall-calving herd.” This has not been a normal year. With drought-stressed grain crops, feed costs may rise. Forage prices shot up with lack of baled hay.

At the MU Thompson Farm, Spickard, cow herd pregnancy checks have been near normal, says Jon Schreffler, farm manager. The heifers were slightly lower this year compared to 2017. But last year pregnancies were above normal. “We’ll do final ultrasounds in late September,” Schreffler adds. The MU herd was bred midApril into May. They missed high heat at artificial-insemination time. Research at the MU herd led to protocols used in the ShowMe-Select Replacement Heifer Program. Part of that protocol calls for ultrasound within 90 days after start of timed AI. Cleanup bulls are turned in with AI-bred heifers. They catch any missed conceptions. That is done before summer heat arrives. Show-Me-Select protocols give high conception rates and calving-ease births. Fixed-time AI leads to short calving seasons and uniform calf crops.

planted this fall. The estimate for the plan, which was developed with the assistance of the Missouri Department of Conservation, was $19,000, but actually cost the park department about $4,000. The park department utilized a tree nursery, which still has about 20 trees in it. Helmandollar said many entities struggle to complete a plan and to plant 95 trees was quite an undertaking for the department. Board member Gary Schuett, who has been instrumental in executing the plan, commended Shuler and his staff and said the project

WHEN 40 PHOTOGRAPHERS ARRIVE, SMALL-TOWN FOLKS GET CURIOUS

People from Mountain Grove, Mo., came to see what 40 photographers saw after a week in their town in the Ozarks. It was beautiful. It was the 70th annual Missouri Photo Workshop. Another record milestone, it was the 50th town documented. The photographers with help from a faculty of 10 showed 417 enlarged photos laid out on tables at the high school. Each table held 10 photos from a story. All of this goes into a state archive like no other in the nation. Co-director Jim Curley said the group joins some 2,400 photographers who have attended a photo workshop. They make a unique alumnus. The archive from all of those years of making pictures gains value with age. A few years ago the National Geographic drew on that collection to make a book called “Small Town America.” In addition in recent years, there were books made on each new town. Already there’s talk by Mountain Grove officials about making a book on their town. In my last visit with the mayor he said: “We will talk about this at the next city council meeting.” What a celebration.

It takes more than 40 photographers. It takes about that many more people to support their work. Those are MU journalism students. They experience the Missouri Method of teaching, learn by doing. The “doing” is far beyond my skills. It involves computer magic by young people who understand digital. It takes what seems like miles of cable to connect computers on work tables of faculty teams. They help students who make the show and archive happen. That’s beyond me. I can still do journalism for the week. I write a column printed in the daily “Rangefinder” a newsletter. I’ve spent about 40 weeks of my life in hands-on teaching at workshops. I learn by doing. It has a profound effect on journalism, even on agricultural journalism. So much has changed in just the years I’ve been connected with teaching and communicating It happened again this year. One of the subjects for the week was a cattle farmer who took my class on campus 31 years ago. He was photographed by a workshopper from Montana. At the show, the farmer took me to look at photographs of his cows. His

compliment was: “You understand what I do.” I did. He told of how he transformed a herd of “the worst sale barn cows” into a uniform herd influenced by MU Extension Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program. MU protocols and new genetics speed progress. I understand the photojournalism side of this week and as well as the farm stories, Also, I understand Extension education. My contribution has been in adding educational know-how in teaching adults. Some who came to the show recognized me through my stories. A co-faculty member said: “People know you.” He was amazed. Me too I apply writing skills I’ve learned working for Missouri farmers. I also learn from working with small-town newspapers. As well as fellow faculty members on campus and in this extension teaching. It’s a pleasure at the end of the week to have workshoppers tell me: “I can understand your stories.” Like other faculty, I do it because I believe it. We all communicate better. A former journalist among the visitors expressed some of my concerns. The freedom of journalism in this country is not a given. We must defend the free press from politicians who want only adulation from the press. Can journalism be improved? Yes. That’s why we continue to help teach the next generation coming on. We need them. Tell your story to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

Meeting To Address Roads

The Missouri Department of Transportation’s Northwest District will host its planning partners on Wednesday, Oct. 10 for a meeting to have a general discussion on the current condition of the state transportation system. The meeting, set for 1 to 2 p.m. at the Remington Nature Center in St. Joseph, will also address how MoDOT currently spends its resources to take care of transportation assets that would cost an estimated $125 billion to replace,

and how additional funding resulting from Proposition D could best be used to consider regional priorities if voters approve the measure in November. Information from the meeting will be used in the development of the next Statewide Transportation Improvement program that will set MoDOT’s construction commitments for 2020-2024 and which will be presented in draft form to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission in May 2019.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — A St. Joseph sawmill faces nearly $200,000 in federal fines after an employee fell into the chute of a grinder and was killed. The St. Joseph News-Press reports that the penalties include $112,000 from the review of the March 12 death of 38-year-old Joshua Hill, formerly of Galt, at American Walnut Co. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that Hill wasn't at-

tached to a tether line when he fell. The penalties finalized last month also include $86,000 for a subsequent inspection that found various noise levels and combustible dust violations. American Walnut makes lumber products for gunstocks and furniture. OSHA also fined it last year after a worker lost a finger in a conveyor belt accident.

NCMC Offers Help In Understanding Student Loans

North Central Missouri College’s Financial Aid Department continues to help students better understand student loans and help them make smart financial decisions. NCMC, again, showed a decline in the Cohort Default Rate, which is the percentage of a school’s student loan borrowers who began paying on specific federal loans and defaulted within three years. NCMC’s most recent CDR is at 13.8 percent, which is 2.5 percent lower than the previous year and three percentage points less than the national average for community colleges. With this rate, NCMC continues to remain in good standing with their CDR. All qualified higher education institutions that distribute federal loans receive a CDR percentage. Institutions can face sanctions and can lose their eligibility to participate in federal aid programs if they have high default rates year after year. According to the Department of Education, this year, 12 schools are subject to sanctions. “The CDR is something to which we pay close attention,” Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley said. “We see the CDR as an indicator of the success of our students and their ability to utilize their education to be-

come gainfully employed and repay student loans. We are encouraged to see the downward trend, and by focusing on providing a quality education while keeping tuition low, we will continue to see our students graduate with less debt and added momentum as they enter the job market.” The NCMC Financial Aid Department diligently educates students about borrowing and student loan repayment. For their efforts, NCMC’s CDR has continually declined the past four years at 4.94 percent. “Although we know that the CDR is impacted by several factors and can vary from year to year, we are excited to see the downward trend,” Associate Director of Financial Aid Sarah Williamson said. To learn more about the CDR rate at North Central Missouri College or information about smart borrowing and federal loan default prevention, persons can visit www.ncmissouri.edu or contact Mrs. Williamson, at 660359-3948, ext. 1417.

ear Annie Written by Annie Lane

Dear Annie: I thought my husband and I had a great marriage -- until I looked on his phone and found text messages to another woman. I was crushed. I asked him about it, and he said that it was nothing and that there were only a few messages. When I checked our cellphone details, I was completely devastated to find that it had been going on for almost a year and there were almost 2,000 text messages during the past six months. When I talked to him about this and all the lies he had told me, he said he had lost his way and he was sorry and didn't want to lose me. We started counseling, but he doesn't want to discuss the details of the text messages and did a factory reset on his phone so I can't see the messages. He said it was not a sexual affair, but his actions just don't convince me it was just text messages. Now he thinks we are fine and our marriage will go on, but I can't stop myself from thinking about what he may have done that I don't know about. How can I ever trust him again? I don't know whether I

can, because he told me so many lies. This was going on for almost a year. How can I believe that it wasn't sexual? I am trying to act as if we are OK, but inside I feel as if I am dying. Please help me to think this through. I need to figure out whether I should stay or go. I need some good advice. - Lost in Love Dear Lost in Love: I'm so sorry for the hurt you must be feeling. Your husband can't simply reset your marriage as he did his phone. It seems he expects that as long as he apologizes and stops talking to this woman, everything should go back to the way it was before he decided to have an affair. And it was an affair -- if not a physical one, then an emotional one. Tell him that if you're ever going to move past this, you need complete candidness and vulnerability from him. No more obfuscating the truth, changing the subject or destroying the evidence. Anything short of that would be placing a Band-Aid on a deep puncture wound, and the marriage would never heal.

frankly dismayed at your answer recently to someone whose adult brother was behaving heartlessly toward his mother. Our son has shown no interest in us for a long time unless he needs money. We, like the mother in the letter, are grieving over this behavior. When he was growing up, we were generous and loving parents. Do parents make mistakes raising their children? Of course they do. But does that give their children an excuse to abandon them as this young man apparently has and as my son has also done? I was always close to my parents, even after getting married and having a family, calling and visiting frequently even though they lived far away. Anytime my dad or mom was in the hospital, I was there, unlike the young man in this letter. My parents are gone now, and I have no regrets about how I treated them. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior from a child. -- Another Mother in Pain Dear Another Mother: I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm printing your letter with the hope that it stirs some adult children to pick up the phone and call their parents.

Italian stocks and government bonds have sagged on the news, with bank stocks particularly hard hit. The European Union’s executive budget watchdogs may be reluctant to crack down and relu further fuel fu populist parties in next May’s elections for the European Parliament. In the end, it may be Parlia investors who punish the governinves ment men when the next recession exposes Rome’s financial ex weakness. we “An Italian debt crisis remains an accident waiting to happen,” says Berenberg Bank economist Holger Holge Schmieding.

Italy’s high public debt is a risk still stalking Europe’s financial markets and economy. Just when it seemed the populist government was more bark than bite, the two parties in charge decided to open the pork barrels. The heads of the anti-establishment blishment 5 Star Movement and the anti-immigration gration League threw out Finance Minister Giovanni Tria’s idea of restraining ining the deficit to 1.6 percent of GDP DP to fulfill promises for tax cuts and social spending. Now they plan an to increase the deficit to 2.4 percent cent of GDP. That’s still within the 3 percent limit under European ining Union rules that come with joining the euro. But the governmentt is

DIRECTOR

VETERANS’ CEMETERIES

One of the death benefits available to veterans and their immediate families is burial in a national cemetery. It is not possible to reserve a space in a particular cemetery in advance, and the one closest to your home may not have space available at the time of need. If proximity to your home is not important, however, space will be made available at the nearest cemetery that is not full. The spouse and minor children of a veteran are eligible for burial in the same cemetery, but it is not possible to obtain adjoining grave sites for family members.

When filing a request for burial with the superintendent of a national cemetery, the following information will speed up the request: date of birth, branch of service and grade, Social Security number, dates of active duty and manner of separation from the military. A funeral director can take care of filing for you, or you can do it directly.
