AREA SCHOOLS Trenton Middle School

Trustees OK 2019-20 Salary Increases Salary increases are on tap for faculty, staff and the president at North Central Missouri College following action taken during a meeting of the college board of trustees on Tuesday evening.

The classified staff salary schedule will see a 4 percent increase in the base and all Administrative, Management, Professional (AMP) employees will receive a 3 percent increase for 2019-2020.

The per-day rate for clinical instructors in the nursing program will increase from $250 per clinical day to $280.

stipend for head coaches for basketball, baseball and softball will increase from $5,500 to $6,000, while the stipend for head golf coach will increase from $3,250 to $3,750. Assistant coaches will be paid $2,750, which is a $500 increase. A dance team coach position has been added, with that position being paid a stipend of $2,000, the same amount approved for the shooting club coach, an amount that will be divided between two employees.

NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver will also see a bump in his base salary as trustees voted to set it at $160,000 for the 2019-2020 year. That amount, which does not include perks such as cell phone and other benefits, is an increase from $149,947 for 2018-2019.

The board also voted to move the position of academic advisor/records assistant, currently held by Marie Moulin, and the position of academic advisor/recruiter, currently held by Melissa Spencer, from classified staff to AMP positions. The change was made based on the job description, duties, requirements and workload of the two positions. The change is effective July 1.

The employment of two adjunct instructors was approved, including Dr.

The good news is that flood waters are receding.

The bad news is that it’s leaving behind a mess.

That about sums up the situation after more than four inches of rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday on ground that was already saturated from heavy weekend rains. Grundy County Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs described the damage throughout Grundy County as “widespread” and “moderate to major.”

The Thompson River, which has a flood stage of 27 feet, reached at least 34.1 feet, Briggs said, noting the operational limit of the gauge is 33 feet. Staff from the U.S. Geological Survey took a boat into the swollen river on Wednesday afternoon to gather data

and attempted to see the painted depth markers that are located on the center span of the bridge on Highway 6, but were unable to reach them. He said the data collected will not be available for a couple of weeks.

As of Thursday morning, Briggs said major routes in the county that remained closed due to water or damage from the flooding included Routes A, C, E, V and B along with many smaller roadways.

Briggs said he is in the very first stages of processing data that can be used to obtain a disaster declaration that would free up money from the State Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

• voted to renew its 2019-2020 health insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, with the college continuing to cover 100 percent of the monthly premium costs for employee coverage. The renewal rates represent a 9.5 percent increase over the currents rates and are as follows: $546.62 per month per employee for the $1,500 deductible PPO plan; $496.88 per month per employee for the $1,000 SPIRA plan; and $484.59 per month per employee for the $2,700 deductible HSA plan. It was noted that in addition to paying the monthly premium, the college contributes $50 per month to an employee’s health savings account for a total of $600 per year.

R-6 Board President Danny Westcott said the school’s curriculum places an emphasis on preparing students for high school.

“Our goal is to graduate students proficient in all subjects, public speaking, organization and project management,” he said. “By the time students graduate eighth grade, they will have delivered numerous speeches, conquered complex mathematics, organized and presented countless projects and enhanced their self-confidence through many center-stage musical performances.

Pleasant View R-6 School District

R-6 Earns High Elementary School Ranking The Pleasant View R-6 School District has been ranked seventh out of the 1,228 elementary schools in the state of Missouri by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

According to R-6 Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the recognition is based on Pleasant View’s academic performance, high school readiness and attendance.

“The DESE report assesses schools based on ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act),” Mrs. Steinhoff said. “ESSA became law a few years ago but Missouri schools did not see the impact until the 201718 school year. Missouri’s ESSA plan is designed to ensure all students have an opportunity to have a fair and equitable high-quality education and to close educational achievement gaps. This award simply reinforces the mission and commitment of the Pleasant View R-6 District.”

Mrs. Steinhoff recognized the faculty and staff for

their work, which led to the recognition.

“Every day, Pleasant View’s faculty and staff strive to provide a successful educational experience for all students,” she said. “It is our goal that as students graduate from Pleasant View, they possess the skills, knowledge-base and ability to become productive and responsible citizens.”

The state of Missouri developed a state plan which uses multiple measurements in statewide school accountability and improvement systems. Data and results are provided for all school districts so schools can continue to monitor their individual performance.

The Pleasant View R-6 School District was established in 1958 with the consolidation of several oneroom school houses. Since that time, Pleasant View has maintained its reputation of providing a first rate education in a small school atmosphere. Pleasant View’s mission is “To educate and invigorate stu-

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Summer Team Workouts

Coe Gets First Look At Bulldogs Corbin Coe fervently punches numbers into his cellphone. It is the second day of the Trenton High School boys basketball team’s summer workouts and the program’s new head coach is busy collecting information and putting names with faces.

“It’s huge,” Coe said of the opportunity to get to know the players during this workout period. “I’m learning more about them than they are probably learning from me right now because we’ve only gone over two or three concepts that we are going to put in. It’s been huge for me learning different players, what their styles are, what they like to do, so we can kind of fit that into what we want to do as a whole.”

Just two days into the workouts, Coe has close to 20 players participating. The group is headlined by three returning seniors who saw ample playing time last season - Jaren Whitney, Carson Burchett and Dalton Burchett. Despite a short time with his new team, Coe has already seen several things he likes from the Bulldogs.

“One of our pillars that is going to be a staple for us this year is pushing the basketball in transition,” Coe said. “Even if we can’t score off that, we at least want to get the ball into an offensive part of the court. (The players) are doing a good job of embracing that. At times it looks messy, but that is when learning happens - when it is messy. We can do five-on-O drills all we want and make it look great, but that’s not how basketball is played. So right now we look real messy, like we maybe don’t know what we are doing. But that’s where I know a lot of learning is coming in. I’m very pleased in two days.”

But the team Coe inherits was sub-.500

both overall and within the Grand River Conference East Division last season. On top of that, Trenton graduated its top two leading scorers from last year’s team and four total players who started all or part of last season.

Coe has been through situations like this before, though. He took over for longtime Newtown-Harris Head Coach Tim Cool in his first career coaching position in 2011. He knows what comes with incorporating a new system into a program and is ready for the challenge ahead at Trenton.

“I’m definitely more experienced than I was in year one and two,” Coe said.

“That was a challenge (at Newtown) a few

years ago and I know it’s going to be a challenge here as well. Coach (Jeremy) Austin has done a lot of good things and, you know, whenever there is new, people are sometimes nervous about new. I think our philosophies are a little bit different, so there may be just some change of time and I definitely have more experience doing that now.”

Summer team workouts continue through June. There will be camps and shootouts through the summer as well as Coe continues to build a rapport with his new team. His first official game as the boys basketball head coach at Trenton will be on Friday, Nov. 22, when he and the Bulldogs travel to East Buchanan.

Draft Deadline

Kansas Players Withdraw From Draft LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas freshmen Devon Dotson and Quentin Grimes withdrew from the NBA draft ahead of Wednesday night's deadline, while Grimes also announced that he would transfer elsewhere for his sophomore year.

The two guards went through various camps and combines to determine

whether they would be chosen in this year's NBA draft. After consulting with their families and Kansas coach Bill Self, both decided it would be in their best interest to spend another year refining their games.

For Dotson, that means returning to Kansas, where he averaged 12.3 points and 3.5 assists last season. He was

voted third-team All-Big 12 and picked to the league's allfreshman team as well. He is in line to run the backcourt following the departure of Charlie Moore who transfered after last season.

"Devon called me about 7 p.m. this evening to confirm he was withdrawing from the NBA draft and will be returning," Self said. "The process

Jacob Lewis

Winston Two recent high school graduates have been named the recipients of the first Douglas Harper Memorial Athletic Scholarship. Trenton High School graduate Salem Croy and Winston High School graduate Jacob Lewis were chosen from over 60 applicants for the scholarship established to honor the late Doug Harper.

Miss Croy plans to attend North Central Missouri College and major in Business and pursue a career in business management or business marketing.

Mr. Lewis plans to attend Missouri Western State University majoring in Biology or Pre-Medicine and one day work as an Internist in North Missouri.

A selection committee appointed by members of the Harper family chose the first-time honorees. Heath Harper, son of the late Doug Harper made the presentations at the respective school awards programs. Each recipient earns a $500.00 scholarship to the school of their choice.

Doug Harper was a well-known announcer and supporter of high school and college sports and served as the unofficial voice of High School Holiday Hoops for many of the previous 14 years. In addition, he was a familiar announcer and supporter at area high school basketball tournaments and regular basketball and football games. He died unexpectedly last year, and a special scholarship fund was established by his family and many friends & colleagues.

The fund is administered by The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri

did what is was supposed to do, which allows players to participate, be seen and receive feedback. After visiting with his family multiple times, Devon came to the conclusion that it was in his best interest to return to school."

His decision came one day after five-star prospect R.J. Hampton announced that he was signing with a professional team in New Zealand rather than attending college.

Hampton was considering Kansas, among other schools, and his decision may have played a factor in Dotson's own decision.

Now, there is little in the way of Dotson running the point for the Jayhawks next season.

Grimes did not say where he intended to transfer after a disappointing freshman year with the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-5 swingman, who averaged just 8.4 points and 2.4 rebounds, prefers to play point guard but mostly played shooting guard at Kansas — a likely factor in his decision.

"We initially anticipated him staying in the draft," Self said, "but he and his family decided to return to Kansas but not return to the University of Kansas. We totally support and respect Quentin and his decision and wish him the very best moving forward."

Five Points

by Wendell Lenhart

And Then The Rains Came The biggest topic of conversation is the rain and I can’t blame them for complaining. It keeps coming day after day and from two to six or more inches at a time.

Pretty unbelievable when you consider that we were in a drought just a little over six months ago.

And everyone tries to put it into context with major rain and flooding that we have had in the past and most people go back to the severe flooding we had in the summers of 1993 and 1995.

My recollection of those floods was Wendell Lenhart that we didn’t have as many days of rain but that it came in much larger amounts when it did rain. Rains of 8 to 10 inches overnight came within a few short weeks and caused record flooding which has not been approached until now.

A lot of those record river levels have stood and I’m sure some of those will be challenged and broken this week.

What is really strange about this year’s flooding is the length of time we have been in this weather pattern. Instead of being confined to a week or so it’s now been what, six weeks or more of wet weather?

The constant rain almost every day has gotten the ground saturated and then any rain that comes along is going to run off, even if it’s only an inch.

It was bad enough we were getting regular two-inch rains, but now the most recent ones have been in the four- to six-inch amount. The Saturday night storm that just clipped northern Grundy County left six inches or more in Mercer and Sullivan counties and even a little bit more farther north into Iowa.

And on Tuesday night there was another pounding for the whole area of several inches that varied by where you lived. I dumped four inches out of my rain gauge on Wednesday morning.

It doesn’t look like we’re going to get much of a break anytime soon; there is a good chance of rain on Saturday and several chances all next week. It’s really going to be hard for area farmers to get, and keep, a crop in the ground and we are at the first of June. ##### You’re getting old if you can remember when you had to get up to change the channels on the television (and adjust the antenna).

Now I find myself fighting with the remotes. We have three that have to be used to control everything from the channels to the sound and I’m never sure exactly which one to use. We did have four, but were able to eliminate one.

It’s hard for an old dog to learn new tricks.

The Return of Legislative Chaos

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News The conclusion of Missouri's legislative session this year reminded me of a quote attributed to Germany's first chancellor in the 1800's, Otto von Bismark.

"Laws are like sausages. It's better to not see them being made."

His point applies to this year's session of Missouri's legislative session.

Guest Editorials The final few weeks proved wrong my earlier column that the legislature had implemented a less chaotic, more organized, process.

Legislative leaders had warned me the pressures of the final weeks could force changes. They were correct.

But major disruptions arose from something beyond their control -- the filibusters and filibuster threats by six senators who formed a "conservative caucus."

Their actions led to a harsh rebuke from a legislator whose efforts for a narcotic prescription drug monitoring program died for yet another year from Senate inaction.

In a letter to lawmakers, Rep. Holly Rehder, R-Sikeston, charged that a "self-titled 'Senate Conservative Caucus'" had pursued "a path of obstruction not often based on conservative principles. Their brand of 'conservatism' has proven if anything, only to be consistently inconsistent."

In response, Senate Conservative Caucus Member Bob Onder, R-St. Charles responded to me that "I'm not going to appologize for standing up for the taxpayer against what I see as ill-conceived policy."

The conservative caucus was not always successful.

Despite opposition to key elements of Gov. Mike Parson's legislative agenda, the Republican governor hit a legislative home run in 2019.

Every one of his priority issues cleared the legislature over conservative caucus resistance including state financial incentives for business expansion, state funding for a highway bridge-repair bond issue and tuition grants for mid-career adults to seek training for better jobs.

That success proved wrong another column in which I questioned Parson's legislative approach. Given his past record of forging legislative compromises, I should have known better.

But Parson benefited from a component of the final week's legislative chaos that I've termed "bloated whales."

These are bills that become bloated with amendments unrelated to the bill's original purpose.

For example, a simple bill dealing with motor vehicle documents became a bloated whale to repeal motorcycle helmet requirements for adults.

Another bloated whale sent to the governor started as a simple measure dealing with appeals to the utilityregulating Public Service Commission decisions.

Added to that bill were amendments dealing with condemnation powers for high-voltage transmission lines, sale of municipal utilities and making it a crime to damage critical infrastructure facilities.

In the legislature's defense, amendments to create bloated whales not always are intended to actually become law.

Sometimes, it's just to put pressure on the other chamber to pass a single-topic a bill dealing the subject of a bloat amendment.

Also, as a former legislator reminded me, sometimes the amendments are offered to curry favor with special interests without any intention of passage.

But this year, I saw more bloated whales getting passed onto the governor's desk than I can remember from past years.

In fact, a major portion of Gov. Mike Parson's legislative success came from legislative passage of a bloated whale.

That bill started as a simple measure to let the Economic Development Department include on its website the names of the Workforce Development Board members.

But the bill got bloated to cover major portions of the governor's agenda -- tuition grants to mid-career workers, the $50 million tax break for General Motors and other financial incentives for businesses.

The bill is a clear example of the problem that bloated whales pose for legislators.

Some members supported the GM plant expansion tax break, but opposed tuition grants for working adults.

Others supported the GM provision, but opposed the broader business tax breaks.

That bill also illustrated another problem with lastminute amendments that create a bloated whale.

Although administration officials had been negotiating with GM for weeks, the final language was presented to the legislature too late for committee hearings.

That prevented any public input.

It also blocked legislators from grilling GM executives as to whether they actually were seeking tax breaks to expand their St. Charles plant and, if so, why in a state with one of the lower corporate tax rates in the country.

What Others Are Saying...

Abuse Hotline Not Working Imagine crying out for help, and no one is listening.

Guest Editorials That's essentially what's been happening with a state hotline to report abuse of elderly/disabled residents.

The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services has been failing some of the people who rely on the agency the most.

A joint investigation by KBIA and the Columbia Missourian revealed that in 2018, the department answered just half of the hotline calls to report abuse of elderly/disabled residents.

According to a Columbia Missourian story last week, more than 17,000 callers heard the message, "All agents are busy; please call back," and the calls were disconnected.

Another 10,000 callers hung up or otherwise dropped the call before anyone answered. Other calls went unanswered because of poor cell reception, staff error or an unknown reason, the paper reported.

Of the 92,000 calls to the hotline last year, only about 50 percent were answered. This year, that number is down to 39 percent.

Kathryn Sapp, policy unit bureau chief for the department's Division of Senior & Disability Services Adult Protective Services, acknowledged in the story: "They're not pretty numbers."

In addition, the article reported that, while reports of abuse/exploitation have increased 35 percent during the past year, only one hotline worker has been added during that time.

Sapp said the department didn't know until late last year that there was a problem. Before that, it had reported its call handle rate for fiscal year 2018 as 98.8 percent. The information was provided to the department by Unified Communications, run by the Office of Administration.

Jessica Bax, director for the Division of Senior & Disability Services, said that data was in conflict with what she was hearing.

Bax said data before 2018 didn't include dropped/disconnected calls in the rate. She said her management

team worked with Unified Communications to make sure they knew the true call handle rate by including dropped and disconnected calls in the data going forward, the story reported.

In other words, mistakes were made.

But in this case, we're dealing with people's lives, particularly their safety.

Missourians rely on the hotline to take information about abuse, neglect or exploitation of seniors and disabled residents. If the hotline can't be answered in a timely fashion, it can do more harm than good.

So far, hold times averaged 8 1/2 minutes during the first four months of this year, the story said. That's far too long.

The Department of Health and Senior Services indicates it is working to correct the problem. Attorney General Eric Schmitt has also announced that his staff will investigate.

Hopefully this happens quickly.

And, hopefully, state lawmakers will look into the situation to ensure the dismal record for handling this hotline doesn't continue.

COMMUNITY Six Attend Pi Master Meeting Pi Master chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority met for a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, May 28 at the North 65 Center with six members present.

Mary Lou Crawford conducted the business meeting.

Phyllis Anderson announced she had received a get well card from Preceptor Nu chapter. Delores Newton thanked the chapter for roses they sent after her surgery. Hilda

Hutchinson reported she was waiting for word from the museum about storing older chapter items.

Present were Ms. Crawford, Barbara Knudsen, Mrs. Anderson, Ms. Hutchinson, Jean Rousselot, and Ms. Newton.

Ms. Hutchinson will be hostess for the next meeting at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 11 at the North 65 Center.

Coal Mining Is Program Topic The Grundy County Genealogical Society met on Monday, May 20 at the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library with 10 members present.

Marilyn Blakesley gave the program on coal mining in the Melbourne area. Her father, W.O. “Buck� Terry, worked in the coal mines. The first mine shaft was dug in 1909 near Melbourne. The railroad was the cheapest method of shipping coal, however, the railroad abandoned Melbourne in

1939 as people were switching from burning coal to electricity or natural gas. Fathers who were coalminers discouraged their children from working in the mines as they knew there was always the chance of developing “black lung� disease.

The New Black Diamond Coal Mine was closed around 1960 and the tunnels were filled with dirt.

The next meeting will be at 5 p.m. on Monday, June 24 at the library. Meetings are open to the public.

Lois Corrigan Hosts Meeting The Town and Country Garden Club met on May 20 with Lois Corrigan as hostess.

President Barb Peterson opened the meeting, reading old time weather proverbs.

Seven members answered roll call by telling what native plants they are growing.

A thank you note from the Food Pantry was read. Mrs. Peterson and Alex Peterson worked at the landscaping project at the Grundy R-5 high school. Bev May assisted Mrs. Peterson with the elementary school landscaping at Humphreys.

Judy Meeker won the hostess gift.

Mrs. Peterson and Mrs.

Meeker gave the program on lavender. Lavender needs welldrained sandy soil for best results as well as eight hours of direct sun and good air circulation. It does well in raised beds. Soil should be dry before watering. A few varieties of lavender include munstead, which is used in cooking; hidcote, which is deep purple and used in crafts; and royal purple, which retains its color well and is used for sachets and crafts. The darker the bud, the stronger the fragrance.

Martha Maloney will host the June meeting. Members are to meet at 10 a.m. to view her flowers, followed by a business meeting and lunch.

Class Of 1954 Meets At Dino’s There were six persons in attendance at the Trenton High School Class of 1954 breakfast, held on Saturday, May 18 at Dino’s Diner.

Grass Regrowth Shows Promise A long-delayed spring grass-growing season with frequent rains didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give days for making hay. Regrowth season just ahead holds promise, says a University of Missouri forage specialist.

Craig Roberts looks to the cool-season grass slump ahead to be productive. That depends on weather staying warm and wet but not droughty.

Livestock farmers with grazing herds need better days ahead. After more than two years of bad-hay days, they must refill hay sheds.

Warmer days and nights with rains can make grass regrow, Roberts says. A cold spring didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give many days with 70-degree average temperatures needed to make grass grow. Too many days had 40-degree lows that cut temperature averages.

As a result, grass grew short leaves and sent up long-stem seed heads.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide good grazing, nor did it provide hay.

Long-term-outlook weather maps show warmer weather and nearer normal rainfall. Recent long-range weather maps covering the usual summer slump period donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show droughts ahead.

Good regrowth depends on having seed heads removed.

With seed stems gone, new growth will be in haymaking leaves.

Regrowth isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as productive as the spring surge of forage growth. The second growth gives moderate nutrition, as it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain seed stems. Regrowth provides needed hay for winter feeding.

If frequent rainy days thwart hay-drying days, baleage can store high-moisture forage. Grass too moist to cure for hay can be wrapped in plastic to ensile and store.

Roberts warns that baleage made from toxic fescue will remain toxic. Ensiling preserves toxins. On the other hand, drying and baling toxic fescue hay cuts toxin in half.

Rain Keeps Farmers Out Of Fields

The Missouri FFA Association conducted officer training workshops on the North Central Missouri College campus in Trenton on Wednesday. Approximately 200 FFA chapter officers and advisors from high schools across northwest Missouri participated in the workshops.

LEAD workshops, sponsored by the Missouri FFA Leadership Fund, are held at eight sites throughout Missouri with more than 1,200 chapter officers expected to participate, according to Missouri FFA Executive Secretary Keith Dietzschold. Training sessions, led by current and past Missouri FFA officers, focus on empowering officer teams to work together effectively. Topics addressed included handling team conflict, team conduct standards and effective use of chapter committees.

TRADE TARIFF TIFF HITS FARMERS, CONSUMERS IN THE POCKETBOOK Storms stir things up. In Columbia, we stayed on alert as media tracked a flurry of tornados.

Sirens sounded just as I went to bed. I flipped my portable radio to regional radio with Doppler radar.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d not been so close to twisters, ever. When spotters told of a touchdown a few miles away, I grew concerned.

Since my place has no storm cellar I retreated to the bathroom. That might protect from flying glass.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use my laptop or cellphone. Both are connected to an MU domain, which shut down for overhaul that night.

What timing!

At the end, funnels avoided our town. After three hours, I tuned out and went to bed. I missed tracking a big storm that hit nearby Jeff City. I read news in papers, later.

Meanwhile a media storm brewed with stories of farmers hit by an unjust trade war with China brought on by tit-for-tat tariffs. A whim by our president

brings economic crisis to farms.

American policy makers learned a century ago the futility of tariffs and trade wars.

Personal power joust between our president and Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader got out of hand. Tariffs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work when first used by Trump. Now it proves worse a second time.

National media jumped in with breaking news of $16 billion â&#x20AC;&#x153;bailoutâ&#x20AC;? for farmers.

In the first tariff hits, farmers stayed quiet. This time, they became articulate. About a week ago farm groups unleashed joint releases pointing out tariff follies and harms. In his report of â&#x20AC;&#x153;relief,â&#x20AC;? we learn Trump didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read those appeals. Trump assured farmers the $16 billion comes from billions paid by China on tariffs Trump imposed on their exports. In return, China stopped buying our farm products.

Long ago, U.S. consumers learned they pay for tariffs.

They mean higher prices at our big box stores. A friend bought a washer-dryer set, costing way more than expected. Checking showed that each cost $86 in tariff fees for metal used.

If tariff money doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrive to pay farmers, the U.S. must borrow money. Yep, borrowed money will come from China, our banker for our growing debt. That debit falls on middle-class taxpayers.

Our president zips from one

self-made crisis to the next without considering Mid-West states hit hardest. Missouri, a farm state, takes a big slam.

Soybeans, pork and beef lost free trade as China retaliated to Trump tariffs.

For the first time, I see farm stories in major news outlets: New York Times, Wall Street Journal and even Yahoo Finance.

Last week a NY Times reporter visited a Midwest soybean farmer. The farmer said he lost $40,000 when selling his beans just when Trump tweeted China quit buying beans.

This spring Missouri beef herd owners selling replacement heifers at Show-Me-Select sales suffered low prices.

Before two sales, Trump tweets triggering market plunges in stocks and livestock prices. With trade uncertainty, bidders spent less. That cost producers about $200 less per heifer.

Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bailout canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay those hit hardest. All U.S. farmers might get some. The whole $16 billion wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to farmers. Some money goes to food programs.

But, we know our president doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t track ideas for more than a day. He rants against socialism at a rally; then applies socialistic payments to farmers.

Media stories tell of a Republican senator comparing Trump's socialism to Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm program. Trump envies Putinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government controls of trade and farmers.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a story of Perdue University poll showing 28 percent of farmers still believe Trump. Oh, well, Trump can go back to big-deal real estate, as before becoming a TV star.

FOOD SAFETY MEETING IN TRENTON Food safety has been in the headlines too frequently in recent years, as contaminated food has caused illness and initiated product recalls all over the country. University of Missouri Extension has been involved with food safety education for growers for many years, in an effort to prevent future outbreaks.

For produce growers, there are basically two programs that address food safety. The first is the Food Safety Modernization Act, which is a law passed by Congress and overseen by the Food and Drug Administration .

In general, anyone selling over $25,000 worth of produce annually is required to receive training at a FDA-approved workshop.

The second program is known as Good Agricultural Practices and is administered by the US Department of Agriculture. This is not required by law, and is voluntary. Many growers, however, have opted to become GAP certified because the market they sell to requires it. Some buyers require both GAPs certification and FSMA training, even though full compliance with the FSMA law is not required for smaller-scale growers until next year.

While both programs deal with food safety, there are differences. To become GAPs certified, for example, you must undergo an annual on-farm certification audit, while FSMA will entail periodic inspections if your farm is covered, but those will start this year only for the largest farms.

To help growers better prepare for the GAPs audit and other requirements of the GAPs

program, University of Missouri Extension, along with Kansas State University, will be holding free meetings on Thursday, June 13 at several locations around both states.

This training should help your farm successfully complete a USDA GAP audit and will assist you in creating a food safety plan. The workshop will also cover the record keeping requirements of the FSMA Produce Safety rule.

If you are considering becoming GAPs certified, now is a good time. Currently, MU Extension is offering GAPs cost share funding which will pay for up to half the cost of USDA GAP certification, with a maximum payment of $800/farm, for audits passed between April 1 and Sep. 1.

In the northwest eExtension region, the workshop will be offered in Trenton, at the Grundy County Extension Center. The meeting will run from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will be taught via web conferencing software.

Other locations in Missouri include Springfield and Union.

Growers in the Kansas City area may be interested in attending the meeting in Olathe, KS at the Kansas State University Olathe campus on July 16.

He urged anyone who has damage to their homes, including flooded basements, to keep all receipts of work that is done.

“If we could get federal disaster assistance and it includes individuals, they might be able to get some of those costs reimbursed,” he said. “I can’t guarantee it, but it might happen.”

Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton said that 28th Street and Crowder Road, both of which had been closed, were open as of Thursday morning as was the airport access road and the road to the sewer plant.

He said the river pump station stayed “high and dry” with no damage, but the bank erosion will have to be evaluated once the water levels go down.

Cleanup at the Trenton Municipal Airport is under way with water out of the buildings on Thursday morning. He noted there is debris and silt on the runaway and damage to the

south end of the runaway does not appear to be much larger or worse than it already was.

However, all of the runway and navigation lights have been damaged and will require repair.

At the sewer plant, the peaking pump is back on line and all flow is now going through the plant and being treated.

The south lagoon water level, as of Thursday morning, was within one foot of the berm and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources has been notified that the city will be draining down the lagoon. The north lagoon, he said, is draining down and all three lift stations, which had been shut off during high water, are now back up and operating.

Crews will be evaluating utility lines along Muddy Creek for damage.

Things are looking better, according to Briggs.

“We appear to be going back into a more normal summer weather pattern,” he said.

“There is no heavy, widespread rain on the way.”

INSURANCE CORNER

by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO

What Works For You Purchasing health insurance solely on the basis of low premiums is not necessarily going to save consumers any money in the long run. As a general matter, people can choose to pay for their care up-front (in the form of higher premiums) or later (in the form of higher co-payments and/or larger deductibles). Neither form of payment is necessarily “correct.” The choice is largely a personal one, based on personal circumstances. Someone in relatively good health with adequate financial resources may choose to save money with a lower insurance premium and higher cost sharing, while an individual with continuing medical problems may decide that a higher premium and lower cost-sharing works best.

ROBERT BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY is a family owned and operated business. We provide service to ALL of our clients for the extent of their policies. We specialize in individual and group health insurance, annuities, long term care plans, and Medicate supplements. We evaluate your coverage needs and financial limitations to determine which program(s) are right for you. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 660-359-5973.

ulty and staff.”

Westcott said the course work follows the Missouri Learning Standards, but the district enhances its studies with the culinary arts, agriculture and parliamentary procedure. In addition, character education is a major focus of the school as each month a different character trait is highlighted throughout the month.

Outside of the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in concert band, yearbook, cheerleading, boys and girls track and boys and girls basketball.

The small school structure of Pleasant View allows for interaction among all grade lev-

els – preschool through eighth grade, Mrs. Steinhoff said.

Middle school students mentor and tutor preschool and elementary students, thus fostering leadership skills. Students work together on community and school service projects, school programs and weekly school-wide assemblies.

Pleasant View’s faculty has more than 150 years of teaching experience with over half holding a master’s degree or higher. Additionally, the school is supported by the Community Club. The club consists of all Pleasant View families and community members. The organization supports the school by coordinating fundraising for educational outings, classroom supplies and teacher supplies.

Dear Annie: Our daughter, "Jenny," is graduating from college in a few weeks, and my husband and I are very proud.

We were unable to afford college, but once we had a child, we knew how important it was for her to go. My husband has worked in a factory his whole life and two years ago became a supervisor.

We have always been a close family, but something has come up that has caused a lot of arguments, and I am writing to ask for your advice. What happened is my daughter's boyfriend, "Todd."

Jenny first told us about Todd during the Christmas vacation.

She said she had met a fellow student and really liked him.

Jenny has had a few dates over the years, but she was never boy crazy, and Todd is her first serious boyfriend. Jenny has always been the studious type. We were interested to get to know Todd, who is also a senior and will be graduating with Jenny. We don't dislike him, but we're not crazy about him either. He is not warm and friendly. He is quiet and can appear cold when you first meet him. He can be funny sometimes, but he's mostly quiet.

The problem is that we assumed all along that Jenny

would return home for a few years after college, get a job and start to pay back her student loans. But she told us that Todd was accepted to graduate school and will be studying for a master's degree in a school located more than 2,000 miles from our house, and she wants to go with him. She doesn't have a job and is not sure what she will do.

She's even talking about staying in school herself.

This has caused the first serious rift in our family. My husband is fit to be tied. He cannot discuss the subject without exploding about Jenny's ingratitude and selfishness. She bursts into tears whenever we try to persuade her not to go, saying she loves Todd and has made up her mind. -- Feeling Torn Apart Dear Torn Apart: Jenny is not a little girl any more, and you and your husband should really focus on gratitude and appreciation; she fulfilled your dreams of going to college and succeeding. If she and Todd are in love, then they would be miserable if they had to live thousands of miles apart. If you allow your hurt feelings to destroy the good relations you have had with Jenny her whole life, it could take years for your

relationship to recover. Ask Jenny to help you both get closer to Todd so that the closeknit family you all knew will continue with one additional member.

Dear Annie: I remember hearing someone on television - I can't remember who -- say that we should drink eight big glasses of water every day. I tried it the next day and found that I had to go to the bathroom a lot more than before. But I also found that I felt much better. I have been doing this for years now, and I am convinced it promotes good health. Many people have told me that I have nice skin and look young for my age.

I am in my 50s and look at least 10 years younger than I am. I love the letters in your column, and I wanted to share this tip for the readers, in case anyone is interested. -- Never Thirsty Dear Never Thirsty: Your letter is so sweet. Thank you for offering something that has helped you so that readers of this column might benefit because you like their letters, and, by implication, you like them. I'm sure they like you, too, because your advice is excellent. There might be some disagreement among experts about what the optimal amount of water is to drink each day, but being dehydrated can cause all sorts of problems such as headaches, diarrhea and lethargy. Thanks for thinking of the column and for giving a great tip!
