Baccalaureate, Senior Awards Ceremony
Class Of 2019 Begins Graduation Journey Trenton High School graduates were challenged to “be faithful in every circumstance of life” by THS/TMS Assistant Principal Kasey Bailey, who was the guest speaker at Wednesday night’s baccalaureate services at the First Baptist Church. Bailey, who will become THS principal in July, used the story of Joseph from the Bible in telling members of the Class of 2019 to follow the dreams that God has for them. In the story, Joseph is told by God that he will one day lead the people of his nation, only to be betrayed by his brothers, who become jealous and sell him to a band of travelers. Many years later, after suffering many trials, Joseph does become the leader of his people and forgives his brothers for their transgression by telling them that what they had done was actually a part of God’s plan and that it was God who led Joseph to his place in life.
“Your feelings and your desires will change and they will betray you,” Bailey said. “Be faithful in every circumstance of life, whether it seems good or bad, because you have no idea where this road is going; but you can trust that the One who leads you is faithful and true and that His dreams and desires for you exceed your own.” Bailey concluded by offering his congratulations to the graduates, stating “it has been my genuine privilege to be a part of your story.” “I know that I, along with many others who are gathered here, cannot wait to see how this story ends,” he said. Bailey was introduced by Laura Carlson. Saedee Jackson gave the welcome and Isaac Harris and Salem Croy used scripture from the book of 1 Timothy 4:4-16 for the devotion. Dylan Harris presented the invocation and Hunter Beverlin gave the benediction. Senior

Fireworks Donations Sought A community fireworks display is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, July 3 in Trenton. The display will begin at dusk and will be held in the grassy area just north of the Rock Barn. Pyrotechnician Brian Coursey of Galt will be shooting off the fireworks. A volunteer committee of community members is organizing the event and collecting donations to help pay the $4,000 cost of the display. Past contributors are being contacted, however, funds from the public are also being encouraged as this is a community activity. Persons wanting to make a donation can do so by dropping off money at the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce office at 611 E. Ninth St. or mailing it to the chamber at PO Box 233, Trenton, MO 64683. The chamber is serving as the collection point for the funds, but is not sponsoring the event. Money can also be left with any member of the committee, which includes Diane Lowrey, Rosetta Marsh, Joe Brinser, Glen Briggs and Joy Wright. Checks can be made out to the Chamber of Commerce and persons are asked to write “fireworks” on the notation line. More information about the fireworks is available by contacting Mrs. Lowrey at the Republican-Times newspaper office, where donations can also be left.

Tri-County Mustangs 6, Trenton Bulldogs 5
Bulldogs Walked Off In Jamesport Going into the bottom of the seventh inning on Monday night at Jamesport, the Trenton baseball team held a slim 5-4 advantage - the product of a three-run sixth. The lead wouldn’t hold. Trenton allowed a pair of runs as the Tri-County Mustangs - playing in a co-op with Gallatin - rallied for two runs to walk off the Bulldogs 6-5. “These are the kind of games that we need to play so we understand that the difference between winning and losing is razor thin,” Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. “You have to capitalize on the opponent’s mistakes and keep yours to a minimum.
Hopefully we will learn these tough lessons sooner rather than later and get this thing turned around and going in the right direction.” The two-run seventh was a gut punch for the Bulldogs, who had just taken the lead in the sixth. After plating a run in the top of the first, Trenton led by the 1-0 margin until the Mustangs put across two runs in the third. Trenton tied the game in the top of the fifth, but saw Tri-County go up 4-2 with another two runs in the bottom of the frame. That’s when Trenton responded, scoring three in the sixth to grab its first lead since the third inning. Tanner Lynch,
CLASS 1, DISTRICT 15 TENNIS
who came on to relieve starter Chase Otto in the fifth, kept the Mustangs off the board to give Trenton a one-run advantage entering the final frame. The loss ruined a strong outing by Otto who, with districts looming, was working on a limited pitch count. He finished the game having thrown four and one-third innings and allowing four runs, though only two were earned. He scattered six hits and walked three while striking out four. Lynch (2-2) took the loss, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three in one and two-thirds innings. Trenton committed four errors in the game.
“We made some mistakes, but had the mindset to move on to the next play,” Hultman said. “We are getting a lot of game experience, which should pay off real soon.” Offensively, Jerrick Stotts was two-for-four with two RBIs. Sam Schilling had one hit - a home run - giving him a run and an RBI as well. Quincy Griffin had a double and two runs scored and Lynch had two hits, one a double, and scored once. Otto also drove in a run and courtesy runner Josh Boman scored once. The loss gave Trenton a final record of 5-14 for the regular season. The Bulldogs’ scheduled regular season fi-

Tennis Team Into District Title Dual The Trenton High School boys tennis team will play for a third-straight district championship. On Wednesday in Trenton, the Bulldogs easily put away Excelsior Springs 5-0 to clinch a return trip to the district title dual. The dual, originally scheduled for Tuesday but pushed back a day due to rain, opened with doubles play, where the Bulldogs established command early. Nick Shields and Creed Houghton scored an 8-0 victory and Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott enjoyed the same success, winning their doubles match 8-0 as well. Isaac Harris and Weston Otto followed with an 8-3 doubles victory to put Trenton up 3-0 entering singles play. Needing just two victories to seal the dual, Trenton wasted little time. Gabe Swann kept his undefeated season alive with a 6-0, 6-0 victory at number two and Isaac Harris won 6-0, 6-2 at number five. Once Harris clinched Trenton’s fifth win, all other matches were suspended as the Bulldogs had won the necessary five matches to secure the dual victory. With the victory, Trenton pushed its overall season record to 12-0. The school record for wins in a single season for the boys tennis program is 16, set in 1977 when the Bulldogs ran a 16-1 overall record. The win vaulted Trenton into the district championship dual, where the Bulldogs played host to Chillicothe on Thursday afternoon. First serves for the championship dual were scheduled for 4 p.m.

Isaac Harris returns a serve during Trenton’s 5-0 district dual win over Excelsior Springs on Wednesday. Harris combined with Weston Otto for an 8-3 doubles victory, then sealed the dual with a 6-0, 6-2 singles win - the fifth of the day for Trenton. The dual was stopped after Harris tallied Trenton’s decisive fifth victory.
Trenton defeated Chillicothe 6-3 on the road back in April. See Tuesday’s RepublicanTimes for a full recap and photos from the district championship match-up with the Hornets. That information will also be available on the RT website today (Friday). Trenton’s tennis players will be in Excelsior Springs on Saturday, competing in the individual portion of the Class 1, District 15 Tournament. Last season, Trenton sent four players to state through the individual portion of the state playoffs.
Sharks Advance In Game 7 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Captain Joe Pavelski made a triumphant return from a gruesome head injury by posting a goal and an assist in the first period that helped send the San Jose Sharks into the Western Conference final with a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 7. Just over two weeks after being helped off the ice while bleeding from his head in a Game 7 win in the first round against Vegas, Pavelski inspired the crowd and carried his team to another Game 7 victory. He scored the first goal and assisted on Tomas Hertl's goal as the Sharks advanced to their fourth conference final this decade. Joonas Donskoi ended a 39-game goal drought, Martin Jones made 14 of his 27 saves in the third period and the Sharks capitalized on a favorable replay review that negated a potential game-tying goal by Colorado in the second period. San Jose will now play St. Louis in a conference final matchup between two successful teams seeking their first championship. Game 1 is Saturday.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A major U.S. sports network is getting into the sports betting game. Fox Sports says it is buying just under 5% of The Stars Group, the parent company of PokerStars, for about $236 million. Both companies will offer real-money sports betting this fall in states where it is legal and they are licensed. The network has the option to acquire half of the Stars Group's U.S. business after 10 years. The companies will offer full-blown sports betting under the name Fox Bet in states that have legalized it. They also will offer a free-toplay game offering cash prizes to users who correctly predict the outcome of sporting events. The move comes a week before the anniversary of a U.S. Supreme Court decision clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they so desire. Eight states currently do, with dozens of others considering it.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks routed the Boston Celtics 116-91 to advance to the Eastern Conference final. The top-seeded Bucks placed seven players in double figures in their fourth straight win after dropping the series opener. Khris Middleton had 19 points and eight rebounds, and Eric Bledsoe finished with 18 points.
Golden State Warriors 104, Houston Rockets 99
Warriors Lose Durant, Hold On For Win OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Klay Thompson scored 27 points, including a key layup with 4.1 seconds left, and the Golden State Warriors overcame Kevin Durant's calf injury to beat the Houston Rockets 104-99 on Wednesday night for a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. Durant strained his right calf late in the third quarter. The two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP limped to the locker room after landing awkwardly following a baseline jumper. He finished with 22 points, five rebounds and four assists. James Harden scored 31 points for the Rockets, who will try to stave off elimi-
nation back home in Houston on Friday night. "It is a do-or-die but I feel good about it," coach Mike D'Antoni said. Durant's status for Game 6 is unclear. After he departed with the injury, the rest of Golden State's array of stars helped the Warriors close it out. "Honestly it was a little deflating for a second," Stephen Curry said, "and then we rallied. "We'll have to claw our way to one more win." Draymond Green received his fourth technical of the postseason with 3:39 left, and then knocked down a 3-pointer on the
other end. Thompson followed Green's 3 with one of his own to make it 97-89 with 2:33 remaining. "They've been here so many times, have been through these battles for the last five years," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. "They've got a lot of guts. They just pulled together and got it done. There's no speech necessary. They knew what they had to do." Curry struggled with his shot again and finished with 25 points on 9-for-23 shooting. He went 3 of 11 from long range. Curry hit a 3 with 5:09 to play that made it 89-85. He didn't score his first points of the night until a 3 4:22 before halftime.

content cited in the study — an execution video, images of severed heads, propaganda honoring martyred militants — slipped through the algorithmic web and remained easy to find on Facebook. The complaint is landing as Facebook tries to stay ahead of a growing array of criticism over its privacy practices and its ability to keep hate speech, live-streamed murders and suicides off its service. In the face of criticism, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has spoken of his pride in the company's ability to weed out violent posts automatically through artificial intelligence. During an earnings call last month, for instance, he repeated a carefully worded formulation that Facebook has been employing. "In areas like terrorism, for al-Qaida and ISIS-related content, now 99 percent of the content that we take down in the category our systems flag proactively before anyone sees it," he said. Then he added: "That's what really good looks like." Zuckerberg did not offer an estimate of how much of total prohibited material is being removed. The research behind the SEC complaint is aimed at spotlighting glaring flaws in the company's approach. Last year, researchers began monitoring users who explicitly identified themselves as members of extremist groups. It wasn't hard to document. Some of these people even list the extremist groups as their employers. One profile heralded by the black flag of an al-Qaida affiliated group listed his employer, perhaps facetiously, as Facebook. The profile that included the auto-generated video with the flag burning also had a video of al-Qaida leader Ayman al-
Zawahiri urging jihadi groups not to fight among themselves. While the study is far from comprehensive — in part because Facebook rarely makes much of its data publicly available — researchers involved in the project say the ease of identifying these profiles using a basic keyword search and the fact that so few of them have been removed suggest that Facebook's claims that its systems catch most extremist content are not accurate. "I mean, that's just stretching the imagination to beyond incredulity," says Amr Al Azm, one of the researchers involved in the project. "If a small group of researchers can find hundreds of pages of content by simple searches, why can't a giant company with all its resources do it?" Al Azm, a professor of history and anthropology at Shawnee State University in Ohio, has also directed a group in Syria documenting the looting and smuggling of antiquities. Facebook concedes that its systems are not perfect, but says it's making improvements. "After making heavy investments, we are detecting and removing terrorism content at a far higher success rate than even two years ago," the company said in a statement. "We don't claim to find everything and we remain vigilant in our efforts against terrorist groups around the world." But as a stark indication of how easily users can evade Facebook, one page from a user called "Nawan alFarancsa" has a header whose white lettering against a black background says in English "The Islamic State." The banner is punctuated with a photo of an explosive mushroom cloud rising from a city.
The profile should have caught the attention of Facebook — as well as counter-intelligence agencies. It was created in June 2018, lists the user as coming from Chechnya, once a militant hotspot. It says he lived in Heidelberg, Germany, and studied at a university in Indonesia. Some of the user's friends also posted militant content. The page, still up in recent days, apparently escaped Face-

Facebook Auto-Generates Videos Celebrating Extremist Images WASHINGTON (AP) — The animated video begins with a photo of the black flags of jihad. Seconds later, it flashes highlights of a year of social media posts: plaques of anti-Semitic verses, talk of retribution and a photo of two men carrying more jihadi flags while they burn the stars and stripes. It wasn't produced by extremists; it was created by Facebook. In a clever bit of self-promotion, the social media giant takes a year of a user's content and auto-generates a celebratory video. In this case, the user called himself "Abdel-Rahim Moussa, the Caliphate." "Thanks for being here, from Facebook," the video concludes in a cartoon bubble before flashing the company's famous "thumbs up." Facebook likes to give the impression that it's staying ahead of extremists by taking down their posts, often before users even see them. But a confidential whistleblower's complaint to the Securities and Exchange Commission obtained by The Associated Press alleges the social media company has exaggerated its success. Even worse, it shows that the company is inadvertently making use of propaganda by militant groups to auto-generate videos and pages that could be used for networking by extremists. According to the complaint, over a five-month period last year, researchers monitored pages by users who affiliated themselves with groups the U.S. State Department has designated as terrorist organizations. In that period, 38% of the posts with prominent symbols of extremist groups were removed. In its own review, the AP found that as of this month, much of the banned

But the company says its technology scans audio, video and text — including when it is embedded — for images that reflect violence, weapons or logos of prohibited groups.

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
The Time Is Finally Here...
It’s graduation week in Grundy County...not only for Trenton High School and Grundy R-5 High School at Galt, but North Central Missouri College will be graduating its largest class ever. A total of 484 NCMC students will be receiving 515 diplomas and certificates during two ceremonies on Saturday at the Ketcham Community Center. The morning commencement (9 a.m.) will include those students receiving degrees and certificates in all fields but nursing, with the nursing graduates being recognized in the afDiane Lowrey ternoon (1 p.m.). NCMC went to a two-ceremony system in 2014 to accomodate the growing number of individuals attending graduation exercises. Having been associated in some fashion with NCMC for the 41 years I have lived in Trenton, including the last 21 years as a member of the board of trustees, it’s been exciting to see the college numbers grow. I remember the board of trustees, when NCMC became its own entity in 1986, worrying if they had made the right decision and how the college was going to survive. And although I don’t remember the exact year, I do remember the announcement being made about the college awarding 200 diplomas and certificates during graduation ceremonies and the reaction of college personnel, many of whom thought NCMC had probably reached the maximum number of graduates it might ever have. The college has now reached another milestone and, from all indications, it looks as if those numbers will only continue to grow as NCMC moves into the future. ********** Trenton R-9 and Grundy R-5 will both be graduating their senior classes in 2 p.m. ceremonies on Sunday. The R-9 graduation will take place in the Ketcham Community Center while Grundy R-5 seniors will hold their commencement in the high school gym at Galt. The valedictorian and salutatorian will speak at both events. Trenton will have 77 members in its 2019 graduating class while there are 14 who will receive diplomas at Grundy R-5. A little side note about this year’s class at THS: I was at the high school earlier this week to take a photo of two young men who will joining the Missouri National Guard following graduation. Around 15 classmates of the two young men came to the commons area, where the signing ceremony was taking place. They sat quietly as the two signed their commitment documents and, once they were done, the students gave the two young men a round of applause in support of their decision. It was quite moving to see the sincerity of what the students were doing for their fellow classmates. It made me proud to know that these are Trenton High School graduates. Congratulations and good luck to the THS Class of 2019 as well as all other students (high school and college) who will be receiving diplomas this year.

TOWNS WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS When Good Community Journalism Dwindles, So Does Governmental Accountability Andy Prutsok , Publisher Miles City (MT) Star My first newspaper job in 1984, fresh out of college, was with the News Leader in Richwood, West Virginia. Richwood was a beautiful little town in the mountains on the outskirts of the George Washington National Forest. It began life as a lumber town around the turn of the century and as I understand it at one time had a population of upwards of 10,000. It was just over 2,000 in 2010, likely under 2,000 now.
Guest Editorials By the time I landed there in 1984, Richwood, like many small towns in America, was already a shell of its former self. The lumber industry there had decades earlier petered out and if I recall correctly commerce had been basically stripped away except for a hardware store, an appliance store, a bowling alley, small grocery store and a Dairy Queen, which was the only fast food establishment. While there were sincere efforts among the town’s leaders to fight the good fight and look for ways to grow, Richwood’s fortunes continued to decline. In the late 1990s, the News Leader shut down. My last time through about five years ago, not only was there no newspaper, but gone too were the hardware store, the appliance store and the grocery store. In the summer of 2016, it started to rain one day. Richwood was deluged by floods with much of the town — more than 200 homes and businesses — destroyed and most of the rest damaged. The high school, basically the town’s remaining beating heart, from which my wife was graduated, was not allowed to reopen after the flooding. “Lumberjacks” (the mascot of Richwood High School), whom I had been friends with in high school and college but who had long since escaped, returned to their hometown in
droves to lend their expertise to the cleanup — engineers volunteered their time to inspect and help repair bridges and roads, others brought food and water to the stranded inhabitants, most of whom were struggling to remove mud from homes. In came the Federal Emergency Management Area, too, which provided the town with $3.1 million to repair water and sewer systems, roads, etc. This is where the trouble started. When I was a reporter at the News Leader, I would faithfully attend every city council, committee and chamber meeting, ask questions, and write about it in the News Leader. The Nicholas Chronicle, which served my hometown of Summersville, also usually had reporters at these meetings. The little town had a lot of eyes on it then. It no longer does. Last week I saw a news story that the West Virginia state auditor had recently completed a report that concluded: Richwood “appears to be in more need of finance recovery than before the flood,” because, as the news report stated: “The report … concludes city leaders spent precious federal dollars to hire themselves, friends and family for flood relief jobs. Much of the money was not spent for its stated purposes. “ As a result, the mayor, the former mayor and the city recorder are charged with embezzlement. The town’s police chief is accused of mishandling his state purchasing card and was fired and the town council asked the mayor to resign. The town might have to pay back over $2 million of the money received. All of course are innocent until proven guilty. It’s unclear whether what happened in Richwood was the result of greed and corruption, or simply a case of the town’s leaders being in way over their heads with no knowledge of managing such a vast recovery effort and no direction
from state or federal agencies. Actually, the trouble didn’t start with the FEMA money, as I alluded to previously, but more than a decade and a half earlier when the News-Leader closed. Had the News-Leader still been a viable entity, someone, working on behalf of the citizens, would have been in attendance as these decisions were being discussed and enacted, reporting all of it to the public. We ran an Associated Press story recently in the Star about the closings of small, rural newspapers across the country. It’s a crisis for a democracy, which depends on transparency and sunlight to assure that the citizenry is informed with the factual information it needs to hold its elected officials to account. A study done a year or two ago of towns that lost their newspapers showed that residents paid the price in higher taxes and fees as no entity was present to let residents know what it’s leaders were doing, which usually involved efforts to force residents to pay more in exchange for lower levels of service. That doesn’t even count what officials may have been embezzling, like in Richwood. People generally don’t hold the media in high regard, and often not without good reason. What plays out on cable TV and on social media is not news, but often little more than gasbag punditry and trolling, along with some additional disinformation thrown in for good measure. News is the result of the work of a trained and skilled reporter who is present at events, talks to participants and puts in the necessary shoe leather to tie off loose ends and confirm what they’ve been told. As that disappears in many small towns, and considering the recent raging floods taking place in the Midwest, how many more Richwoods are going to happen? Thanks so much for supporting your local newspaper.
What Others Are Saying... Leave Clean Missouri Alone Missouri lawmakers still are working feverishly to dismantle changes voters made to the state Constitution to clean up politics in Jefferson City.
Guest Editorials The House on Monday sent the Senate a proposed constitutional amendment that would erase parts of Clean Missouri, passed by 62 percent of voters last November. Among other things, Clean Missouri: • Changed the process used to redraw state House and Senate district boundaries every 10 years, after the federal census is finished. It created the post of "nonpartisan state demographer" — to be chosen by the state auditor from applications — to oversee the redistricting process. • Reduced the limits on campaign contributions that candidates for state Legislature can accept from individuals or groups. • Limited the gifts state lawmakers and their employees
can accept from paid lobbyists to items that cost $5 or less. • Prohibited lawmakers and their employees from serving as paid lobbyists for a two-year period after the lawmaker leaves office. • Prohibited political fundraising on state property by candidates for, or members of, the Legislature. • Required legislative records and proceedings to be open to the public under the Sunshine Law. Republicans are the driving force behind the attempt to undo voters' will. For them, the hardest change to swallow is the first — the change to the House/Senate redistricting process. Their proposed amendment would change the criteria for drawing new legislative districts. It would eliminate the nonpartisan state demographer's position created by Amendment 1, as well as the requirement that the demographer draw redistricting maps using mathematical formulas based on partisan fairness and competitiveness. Missouri Rep. Dean Plocher, R-St. Louis County, sponsored the bill, arguing it more closely follows the state Con-
stitution and federal law than Clean Missouri. But he hasn't shown that Clean Missouri violated either. Politicians seem to praise voters as being well-informed (especially when voting for them), but ill-informed if they approve something that's distasteful to them. Plocher has said his "bipartisan committee" will be better than "a single bureaucrat whose appointment will be controlled by a partisan elected official" to draw the maps. "This removes the danger of a single redistricting czar under the sway, if not outright control, of one political party or set of special interest," he said. But before Clean Missouri, the Constitution required bipartisan commissions to redraw the state legislative districts, with a fall-back to six appeals court judges if the commissions failed to do their work. For most of the last three decades, the judges — not the commissions — drew the maps, because the commissions didn't work. Lawmakers should respect voters' will and leave Clean Missouri alone. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

The wet and cold start to this year’s corn planting season bodes poorly for yields, based on research from the University of Missouri Extension. But MU Extension agronomist Bill Wiebold says farmers should not switch from corn to other crops or early maturing corn varieties because of rain-delayed planting. There is still time to get corn in the ground and expect good yields with other favorable conditions, says Wiebold. Yield potential declines when planting is delayed during the first three weeks of May, according to Wiebold’s data. Researchers studied at least four hybrids in the five-year study. Yields drop 5 percent by the first week of May and 20 percent by the end of the month. They nosedive 40 percent by the end of June. Switching to an early maturing variety almost assures yield loss. “Those early varieties are shorter and have less yield potential. An early variety might offer some advantage in reduced drying time at harvest, but that depends on the fall season,� Wiebold says. “We found that corn hybrids with CRM (comparawww.republican-times.com www.republican-times.com www.republican-times.com

These funds can only be used for USDA GAP audits conducted between April 1 and Sept. 1, 2019. While a number of other third parties carry out GAP audits, the cost-share funds can only be applied toward the cost of USDA GAP audits, Nwadike said. “MU Extension will directly pay USDA up to half of the cost of the audit, with a maximum payment of $800, after the farmer has passed the audit and paid the remaining certification costs,� she said. To receive USDA GAP certification, growers must develop a food safety plan and undergo an
audit verifying that fruits and vegetables are produced, packed, handled and stored according to practices that minimize risks of microbial food safety hazards. “GAP certification is not a regulatory requirement, but it is required by many larger buyers, such as grocery stores, wholesalers and distributors,� Nwadike said. Growers must reapply annually to maintain certification. The cost-share funding is from a USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant through the Missouri Department of Agriculture. For more information about the cost-share funding, contact Nwadike at NwadikeL@missouri.edu(opens in new window) or 816-4825860. Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the available funding is used.

tive relative maturity) of 110 out-yielded corn hybrids with CRM of 100 until the first week of June,� he says. Wiebold says farmers should base decisions upon the unique conditions of their farms and fields. “Our data provide some optimism that reasonably high yield can be obtained when corn is planted in mid-to-late May,� Wiebold says. “However, yield potential is very strongly dependent on weather conditions in summer. For this reason, it is difficult to predict in any specific year what will happen to corn yield if planting is delayed.� Soil conditions, rather than the calendar, dictate when to plant. Planting date concerns may rush farmers to get in the fields when soils are too wet. For long-term soil health, wait until fields dry, Wiebold says. Traffic from heavy farm equipment on wet soils leads to compaction that reduces root growth, which is especially critical during drought years. “Once soil has begun to dry, patience is needed so that harm to developing corn roots is minimized.� Delayed planting also increases risk from drought damage during pollination. Normal Missouri weather

WET WEATHER SLOWS CROP PLANTING; MARKET PRICE WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED Rain after rain stops crop planting. Not getting seed in the ground worries farmers and forecasts don’t offer much hope. A trip from Columbia to Cape Girardeau gave a look at excess water. The Meramec River was higher and wider than I’d seen. But, every stream overflowed. Hottest topic at Extension teleconferences was delayed planting. Bill Wiebold told of long-term research on planting date impact on yields. After Mid-May yield loss on corn gets serious. We’ve seen messy plantings that end with good yields. Farmers worry about weather in April and May. Wiebold said July and August have bigger impact. Rain in July makes a corn crop. Rain in late August after a drought makes a soybean crop. Main advice recently has
been patience. Don’t mud in a crop. Let soil dry and warm, as compaction and cool wet soil cut stands. Number of seeds emerging and making stalks limit yield at harvest. News on e-mail offers comments on planting options. One noted that as corn prices drop, farmers plant more corn to offset the dollar loss. It’s oversupply of corn that depressed prices. As corn planting time slips by farmers think of switching to late planting soybeans. That’s worked in the past, but a huge carryover of beans lowers soy prices. China’s block on buying U.S. beans filled our bins. That lowers prices, so more beans drag market prices lower. Can farmers be blamed for feeling a no-win this year? In one call Craig Roberts, Extension forage specialist noted that spring rains help
is drier and hotter in late July and early August than early July. This weather can interfere with pollination. Wiebold says current wet and cool conditions put corn already in the ground at risk. Excess water and cool weather contribute to slow emergence, reduced stands and increased disease. Although rare, imbibitional chill injury occurs when cold water, taken in within 24 hours of planting, disrupts the organization of young cells during rehydration and can result in loss of seed vigor or even seed death. The April 29 USDA Crop Progress Report said 45% of Missouri corn is in the ground with 7% emergence. Only 2% of soybean was in the ground. Both percentages are slightly behind last year’s progress and the five-year average. However, last year’s historical weather pushed numbers well below previous averages. April 2018 in Missouri was the second-coldest on record going back to 1895. By April 8 of last year, USDA reported that only 1% of corn had been planted due to subfreezing temperatures and measurable snowfall. The previous four-year average had been 7 percent.
grass growth. Livestock farmers need a break on making good baled hay for a change. But, weather tricks us by not sustaining warmth. Grass needs sunshine and warmth but that’s overnight warmth to keep growing. We’ve had 70 degree days, not 70 degree averages. When I leave for work, I feel chill still in the air. Who would think that warming oceans (and Gulf of Mexico) would change Missouri weather? When warm water evaporates faster, southern breezes bring more, tons more, water vapor north. When humid clouds hit chilled air, rain falls from the sky. That slows our planting season. Further north, in the Corn Belt cooler zones, they get wet weather even more than here in Missouri. Our impact comes from flood waters still to flow south in Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Floods on big rivers destroy bottomland towns and farms. There’s another unexpected impact from high waters. Barge traffic halts in an effort to protect town’s flood walls and farm levees. Now, soybeans that were sold can’t be moved south for export.
Weather affects everything farmers do, from planting seeds to selling those crops to export buyers. Isn’t it time to think of ways to reduce CO2 released into our atmosphere? In farming, all depends on weather. Shortage of grass and especially lack of barns full of hay bales affects beef heifer prices. Dave Paterson, MU beef reproduction specialist who invented Show-Me-Select heifers, and I went to Fruitland for the second SMS replacement heifer sale Friday night. Bidders are slow to raise a hand when they are not sure they have enough hay to get through the year. A joke before sale start: “Any move above the waist counts as a bid.� That includes a nod or wink. Driving to Fruitland, Dave and I marveled that we’ve done this for over 20 years. After the sale, I visited Glen Birk, Jackson, Mo., who I met at the first sale. This was his 41st SMS sale. He’s collected many premium prices in that time, but didn’t say how much.

Revival Of Arts Program In Grundy County Discussed Efforts to revive the arts in Grundy County continue with committees being formed to begin the process of formalizing an organization that would help oversee that work. During a meeting on Monday night at the Ketcham Community Center, individuals offered assistance to develop by-laws for the organization, which has yet to be named. However, a second group was charged with coming up with suggestions for what the organization will be called. Phil Schlarb, who served as one of the coordinators of the initial meeting in April to gauge interest in reviving arts in the area, led the second session and reviewed steps to be completed for an official arts organization to be formed. Discussion centered on the establishment of by-laws and determining a name for the organization which, once in place, will allow the group to move forward to incorporate and become a not-for-profit organization. Schlarb was able to obtain the by-laws for the Grundy County Friends of the Arts, which will be used as a guide to establish the by-laws to be
followed by the new organization. A committee consisting of Jim Norris, Trisha Sharp, Dr. Tristan Londre and Katie Kinney will develop a new set of by-laws while a committee of Dan Maxey, Terry Toms, Tricia Key and Kim Cleeton will work on developing a name for the group. Diane Lowrey was appointed to serve as publicity chairman and share information with all media sources about the group’s efforts as well as future meetings. In the meantime, Ms. Kinney will work with the Secretary of State’s office to begin the incorporation process, all of which can be done online. In addition to the by-laws and organization name, a conflict of interest policy will need to be drawn up as well as establishment of a board of directors (which will be included as part of the by-law process). A meeting was set for 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 30 for the committees to have their information ready for consideration by the group and to hear any suggestions. Persons interested in being involved are encouraged to be at the meeting. The meeting place will be announced once a site is secured.

The first semester Trenton High School Food Science class spent a portion of their class learning about lamb. Instructor Kabel Oaks taught the students about all the parts of lamb, such as wholesale and retail cuts. The students were able to get hands on experience by cutting up a whole lamb and getting to see the process of how food gets to our plates. After cutting up, bagging, and freezing the meat the students got to taste-test different cuts of lamb meat. Each group of students was responsible for finding a recipe to try involving lamb. Lamb tacos, meatballs and brats were made during this process. This was a great learning experience for the students in the Food Science class as it is very important for students to know exactly how their food gets from pasture to plates. A grant from the Missouri Sheep Merchandising Council was used to fund the project, and part of the meat was also shared for cooking labs in the THS and Trenton Middle School FACS programs.

themselves for breaking things. Your yelling or exasperation will not encourage your kids to pitch in more often. In addition to a clean house, you want to use this exercise to help your children build self-confidence. Dear Annie: As an eating disorders therapist, I wanted to thank you so much for your wise and accurate letter to "Weighing." You were on target when you said that there are other -- often better -measures of health than the number on the scale. Your advice that this letter writer talk to her employer about her company's current health approach is also spot on. Thank you for making such excellent suggestions. -- Impressed Therapist Dear Therapist: Thank you for your letter. I always love hearing from experts in their fields.

Dear Annie: I'm caught in a cycle of being too busy, tired and stressed out to ask my family for help with household chores. My husband tries, and he helps a bit, but the kids only chip in a little when I ride them. I've tried schedules, rewards and taking away privileges. But in the end, it's just easier for me to cook, set and clear the table, do the dishes, sweep and mop the floor, and on and on. Am I just avoiding the job of teaching my kids these things? I work full time, and they have super busy schedules. I don't want the precious time we have together to be spent arguing over chores. At the same time, I know it would help them -- and me! -- if they helped out more. Maybe. As I said, it seems easier if I do it instead of them bickering over who has a worse job than the other. At least then there's peace in the house. Besides, when they do help, all too often something breaks! I don't mean to be so attached to dishes, and I know that these lessons are important for kids to learn, but it's hard to see favorite items

Germany’s renewable energy producers have achieved new milestones that illustrate how the country’s ambitious plan to move away from dirty fuels to curb greenhouse gas emissions has disrupted its utility sector. Energy provider E.ON said last month that solar and wind power generated more electricity than users needed during peak daylight hours on Easter Monday. On that day, renewable’s share of total electricity production hit a record 77%, according to data from the Fraunhofer ISE research institute.
Germany is one of the global leaders in shifting to clean energy sources, with the goal of eliminating nuclear, coal and gas in the coming decades. But this epic shift has come at a financial cost. The government has fueled its transition with generous subsidies, including for homeowners installing solar panels to feed energy into the grid. Meanwhile, share prices for the country’s big traditional utility companies such as RWE have slumped because they now can’t make enough profit selling electricity.

come crashing down because they weren't put away properly. -- Losing the Battle over Chores Dear Chores: In fighting a war, any good general will tell you that strategy is most important part. Whatever you do, don't give up and throw in the towel, so to speak. Your motherly instincts are correct that chores are great for kids. In the beginning, it will be hard -- for you and the kids -- to stick with this new routine. But keep assigning a schedule of chores to each child. Make sure you alternate the "worst jobs" so that each child gets a turn. Have your husband help in assigning these chores and in making sure the children follow-through. You'll want the whole family involved. Then your kids will see that this isn't something you will handle later on your own if they slack off. As for dishes, this is a task that I would assign to you, Mom. It is not their faults if they drop heavy, expensive plates. Assign chores they can succeed in and not ones where they end up feeling bad about
