Monitor System In Place

Prisoners Can Now Receive Video Visits From Relatives

by Ronda Lickteig R-T Newswriter The Grundy County Detention Center has made it easier for those wishing to visit with an incarcerated loved one-especially those who live out of the area. Grundy County Sheriff Rodney Herring said a new agreement with the GCDC’s current inmate phone system provider has resulted in visitation now being done by video. Rather than sitting across from each other separated by glass and talking on a telephone, the new system involves using video such as one would use with Skype or Facetime. Sheriff Herring said the change has several advantages. “Well, for one thing, there is

less inmate movement so there’s less work involved and it’s safer,” he explained, noting that rather than moving an inmate to the visitation area the inmate utilizes the day room to access the video system. Sheriff Herring listed other advantages, too, including the fact that visitation will now be offered four times each week for each inmate, rather than twice each week. Another advantage is that families who live outside the area can access the system and visit with their loved one through video rather than just through a phone call. “They’ll need an internet connection and to buy a data plan through our phone provider - I think they start at around $18 - and that allows

Alumni To Perform

Former Trenton High School Band members are invited to perform with the current band as part of football pregame activities on Friday, Aug. 31. Those wanting to play with the band can meet at 6 p.m. on Friday in the band room for a short rehearsal before marching to C.F. Russell Stadium at 6:30 p.m. Alumni not wanting to play but who would like to be a part of the band can meet in front of the stadium track at 6:40 p.m. The current and alumni members will be performing the THS Fight Song prior to the game. THS Band Director Tim Gilham said there will be some instruments available for use by alumni, including marching snares, a set of tenors, bass drums, tubas, concert baritones and a mellophone. Gilham can be contacted at the school by alumni to reserve those instruments.

County Tax Levy Set

The Grundy County Commission set the 2018 tax levy during its regular meeting held on Tuesday. The only person from the public who attended the public hearing held prior to setting the levy was Phillip Ray, the incoming presiding commissioner who will take office Jan. 1, 2019. The levy was set at the maximum allowed after the sales tax rollback, which is .2374 on the $100 assessed valuation and, based on an assessed valuation of $132,390,269, is expected to generate $314,294.50.

National Weather Service

Rain is likely through Friday night, then mostly sunny and hot through the weekend with highs in the low 90s and lows in the low 70s. The high on Monday at the Government Weather Station at Trenton was 77, Tuesday’s high was 82 and Wednesday’s high was 79. The low was 57. A total of .05 of an inch of rain fell on Monday. The high on Wednesday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 77, the low was 57.

them to connect to the system,” said Herring. A photo ID is required for either in-person or remote visitation. If the visit is occurring at the detention center, the person would present the ID and register at the visitation booth. They will then be directed to the area in which they can visit with the inmate through video. If a visit is being done remotely, the ID is submitted, the person requesting the visit will list times for a visit. When the call comes in, they will just answer it like they would a Skype call or Facetime. Herring said the inmates seems to like the new system, which he said did not cost the See Monitor, Page 7

Members of the Trenton City Council Utility Committee reviewed cost projections regarding a potential upgrade to diesel generators at the south substation during a meeting on Tuesday night at city hall. Also meeting was the AdCommittee, ministrative which took no formal action due to a lack of quorum, but discussed several items. Utility Committee The Utility Committee will ask the full city council to discuss potential generator upgrades and their financial feasibility after reviewing a proposal from Foley Power Solutions to upgrade the program controls at an estimated cost of $56,000 per unit. City Administrator Ron Urton said that with the city having seven units, the total cost could run around $393,000. An optional replacement of two relays at a total cost of $28,000 was also included in the proposal. It was noted that the current program controls are obsolete and that four of the major components in use can no longer be purchased. Urton said the upgrade is important as the city could need to start up the generators in case of a long outage. He said TMU needs to be able to generate electricity rather than always having to buy from an energy pool of users from across the state. The city receives about $13,000 a month in capacity credits from the pool because of the generators, he said. Urton asked the committee to look at increasing the amount of money budgeted each year for sewer line work. That amount is currently $100,000, however, Urton

Week 1

Trenton @ Lathrop

Will The Mules’ Speed Be Too Much?

For the Trenton Bulldogs, the key to Friday night’s season opener will be containing Lathrop’s blazing speed - something Trenton was unable to do in a 41-15 loss to the Mules in the district playoffs just last October. Unfortunately, Lathrop is returning almost all of the culprits from that game, which put an end to Trenton’s 2017 campaign. The Mules rushed for 350 yards in the district win, doing so on 35 carries for an average of 10 yards a pop. If there is hope, however, one just needs to look back nine weeks earlier to last year’s season opener. Though Trenton’s offense was flat in a 23-0 loss in week one of the 2017 season, Trenton limited Lathrop to just 181 yards rushing in that game. Lathrop’s average per carry was a much more pedestrian four yards. “Just the speed that they have and now being in the fourth year of Coach (Chris) Holt’s system, it’s going to be really difficult for us,� Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell said. “But I think our scheme and what we do to defend Lathrop is pretty sound. It’s just how well we can execute it. “Our goal is to just spill the ball and make them run east and

Quick Look At The Lathrop Mules

Head Coach: Chris Holt, 4th year at Lathrop 2017 Record: 9-3 (5-2 KCI), Tied for 3rd in the KCI 2017 Finish: Class 2, District 8 runners-up. Lathrop enters 2018 after finishing as runner-up in the Class 2, District 8 Tournament. The Mules marched to the title game, but fell 4127 to eventual state runner-up Higginsville in the championship. Lathrop defeated Trenton twice last year, handing the Bulldogs a 230 loss in the season opener before bouncing Trenton from the district tournament in week 10 with a 41-15 win. Who To Watch: Seth McKnight (6-0, 175), RB #14 Seth McKnight has been rough on the Bulldogs over the past two seasons. Finally a senior, McKnight has averaged 81.5 yards per game in four meetings with Trenton and has scored seven touchdowns in the four games combined.

Medicare Enrollment

As you approach age 65 it is important to consider enrolling in Medicare. The initial enrollment period to enroll in Medicare includes the three months before your 65th birthday, your birthday month, and the three months after. This 7 month window applies to all forms of Medicare: Part A (Hospital), Part B (Doctor and outpatient costs), Part C (Private Advantage plans that cover A & B) and Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage). If you missed your Initial enrollment period and you don’t qualify for a special enrollment period, you can sign up for Medicare during the General Enrollment Period. This runs from January 1 through March 31 each year. Failure to enroll during your Initial enrollment period will cause you to be subject to the late enrollment penalties.

Keep in mind that the General Enrollment Period only applies to Medicare. If you missed your Initial enrollment period and you want a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage, you’ll have to wait for the Annual Enrollment Period, this runs October 15th – December 7th. Let us at ASSURE MISSOURI & ASSOCIATES help you with your Medicare needs.

Clark Named To Rodeo HOF

Derek Clark, the great-grandson of the late Monroe Veach, will join his great-grandfather, his grandfather and grandmother as members of the Rodeo Historical Society Rodeo Hall of Fame. Clark will be inducted into the hall during ceremonies on Nov. 9-10 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.

He owns numerous PRCA saddle bronc titles from 1980-2000 and was on the PRCA Board of Directors from 1998-2005, serving as vice chairman from 1999-2004. He is a fourth-generation rodeo contestant from the Clark/Beals/Veach family lineage and continues to serve as a mentor to aspiring saddle bronc riders. Clark becomes the fourth member of the family to be inducted into the hall. His great-grandfather, Monroe Veach, was inducted in 1993 while his grand mother, Imogene Veach Beals was inducted in 2001 as the Tad Lucas Award winner. His grandfather, Charley Beals, was inducted in 2010. Clark has several relatives in the Trenton area, including a great-aunt and uncle, Peggy and Robert Robinson and cousins, Lana and Larry Beverlin, Craig and Sharalyn Robinson, Zane Robinson and Hannah Joseph Lovett.

west, not north and south. That’s easier said than done, though. I think whenever you try to box everything in, it can make it tougher for them (to utilize their speed).� Trenton is no stranger to Lathrop as this game marks the fifth meeting between the two teams in the last two seasons. Trenton has opened the year against Lathrop for three years now and the Mules and Bulldogs have met in the first round of the district playoffs in each of the past two seasons. Lathrop has won three of the four previous meetings with Trenton’s lone win coming in the 2016 playoffs by a score of 28-13. In the four previous meetings Lathrop has scored 12 rushing touchdowns with the runs coming from an average of 23.75 yards out. Two of the 12 touchdowns have come on runs of 58 and 67 yards. Stopping the big play will be a must for Trenton in this week’s match-up. “We can’t give up anything in the middle,� Boswell said. “I think when you are giving up big runs in the middle, that’s when it can hurt your psyche.� The Mules and Bulldogs will kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday in Lathrop as the high school football season gets under way.

Spickard Has August Meeting

The Spickard City Council held its regular monthly meeting on Monday, Aug. 20 at city hall. According to information provided by City Clerk Mary Anderson, the board voted to set the tax levy at 97.32 cents on the $100 assessed valuation. It was decided to place a certificate of deposit that was previously cashed out into a savings account at Farmer’s Bank. Mrs. Anderson and council member Janice Vandevender were approved to visit with the county assessor’s office regarding the closing of Jewell Street. The council met with Earlene Simmons, who asked for a credit on her sewer bill due to a water leak she had. The council voted to have Ms. Simmons pay $125 on her water bill. The board also agreed to refund a $60 water deposit to Lucille

Bathgate. It was reported that Carolyn Brown wants to discuss a possible sewer credit due to water being left on and resulting in a higher water bill. Larry Marrs was introduced as the city’s water tester, replacing Mandi Massey. Marrs was hired as of June 25, when he also began doing the city’s testing. Following an executive session, the board offered the vacant city council position to Randy Howe, who accepted. He was then sworn in and will begin his duties immediately. Mayor Jesse Richmond also announced that Mrs. Anderson has submitted her resignation as city clerk, which is official in two weeks. The city will be advertising for the position. The next meeting of the council will be at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 10 at the Spickard City Hall.

by Wendell Lenhart

Here’s The Weather Forecast

With the needed rainfall of the last couple of weeks, a tiny dent has been made in the exceptional drought that we have been experiencing for the last year. Those rains were spotty, to be sure, but hopefully provided some opportunity to help the soybean crop develop and the hay pastures recover from the hot, dry summer. Imagine my delight this week when I received the 2019 Old Farmer’s Almanac and turned to the weather forecast for this winter and next summer. The weather map for this winter shows us to be in a warm and wet pattern with a Wendell Lenhart patch of mild and snowy weather stretching from St. Joseph to the southwestern corner of the state. The area includes the lower third of Missouri as well as the eastern half of Kansas. The map for next summer shows us to be in a cool, wet pattern with cool and dry weather stretching to our north and east. The specific forecast for the heartland, which includes all of Iowa, most of Missouri and the eastern half of both Kansas and Nebraska, says: “Winter will be milder than normal, with above-normal precipitation. The coldest periods will be in mid- and late December and early January. Snowfall will be below normal in the north and above normal in the central and southern areas, with the snowiest periods in late November, mid-December, early January and mid-March. April and May will be warmer and rainier than normal. Summer will be cooler than normal, with the hottest periods in late June and the first half of July. Rainfall will be below normal in the north and above normal in the south (that’s us). September and October will bring near normal temperatures and precipitation.” The Almanac claims an 83 percent accuracy rate on its forecast of last winter, which is a little higher than its 80 percent average. After the year we have just been through, I think most of us would welcome the Almanac’s forecast for the coming winter and summer. ##### I had the opportunity recently to hear a presentation by Mick Allison, Director of Physician Recruitment for Saint Luke’s Health System. He was talking about the challenges of recruiting doctors to rural areas and presented this sobering fact: 50 percent of senior medical students have 100 job offers when they near graduation. And 90 percent of those students don’t want to work in a rural area. Recruiting doctors to practice in north Missouri is an every day job and we are lucky to have a state-of-the-art hospital for them to work in or the numbers would be even worse. Hopefully, some of our local students now in medical school will want to come home to practice medicine.

What Others Are Saying.... No Faith In DOC

Thursday's news that a jury awarded close to $114 million in unpaid/overtime compensation to corrections officers left us speechless.

Guest Editorials

Apparently, it also left the Missouri Department of Corrections speechless; they're not talking about it. We reported on Thursday a lawsuit filed Aug. 14, 2012, accused the department of requiring corrections officers throughout the state to do work before and after assigned shifts without being paid for that mandated work. In a trial held before Cole County Presiding Judge Pat Joyce, a jury ruled in favor of the plaintiffs Wednesday, finding the DOC had breached its agreements with the corrections officers, and awarded the hefty price tag. The state almost certainly will appeal, and anything can happen in an appeal. But in the court of public opinion, it's one more indication of problems within the department. In the suit, several corrections officers and sergeants from state prisons across Missouri testified that the DOC required them to perform pre- and post-shift work but refused to pay them for it. The lawsuit was filed six years ago, and the allegations stem from farther back than that. The governor, department director and other state leaders have changed since. But have they corrected the problems in corrections? Con-

sider: Last June, news broke that a Missouri Parole Board member and a Corrections department employee were making a farce out of parole hearings. The Department of Corrections said Donald Ruzicka, a Missouri Parole Board member who, reportedly, admits concocting a word game played during questioning in parole hearings, resigned. Ruzicka, a Republican, is a former state representative from Mount Vernon. He and the employee, who was not named, played the game on occasions in hearings throughout summer 2016, according to findings in a report. An investigation by a Kansas City weekly newspaper last year found a culture in Corrections of sexual harassment, racial discrimination and harassment by co-workers — and retaliation by supervisors for speaking out. It examined more than 60 lawsuits against the department and also found the state spent more than $7.5 million on settlements and judgments between 2012 and 2016, related to the allegations. In April, an Associated Press story said Missouri has paid out nearly $600,000 to a female corrections officer to settle another sexual harassment lawsuit. The department also is struggling to maintain staffing for corrections officers, and inmates at some prisons have had riots or near-riots in recent months. If the Department of Corrections wants to gain back trust from the public, it needs to address its problems and do so publicly. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Mary Helen Richardson was in charge of pre-school and Stan Richardson took shut-in communion. Jerry and Sharon Berry celebrated their wedding anniversary on Friday by eating supper with their grandson, Isaac Berry and his fiancee, Haley in Springfield. They were overnight guests of Isaac. On Saturday, Jerry, Sharon, Isaac and Haley went to the Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium at Bass Pro in Springfield. Jerry and Sharon spent Saturday and Sunday nights with their grandson and wife, Seth and Cyle Paulus, and also vis-

ited another grandson and wife, Nathan and Miranda and great-grandson Micaiah in Wichita, KS. They all attended services on Sunday at the Radiant Church, where Nathan is the pastor. Jerry Berry, Stan and Mary Helen Richardson and Judy Jackson were among those who attended funeral services for Bertha Gail Allnutt on Wednesday at the Rural Dale Baptist Church. Stan and Mary Helen and James Gott went to Columbia, where Bob Gott had surgery at the VA Hospital on Thursday. Stan and Mary Helen and Patsy Griffin went to Center Point Hospital in Independence, where Everett Cunningham had surgery on Friday. Judy Jackson accompanied Les and Lora Jackson on Friday evening to St. Louis, where they spent the weekend with Tyler, Dani, Jacob and Eleanor Jackson. Judy and Jenny Steele were also guests. They went to the zoo on Saturday morning and were joined by Logan, Meagan and Henley Jackson. Several friends also attended a supper on Saturday and a party for the third birthday anniversary of Jacob. Judy, Les and Lora attended services on Sunday morning with the Tyler Jacksons at the City Church and visited on Sunday afternoon with the Logan Jackson family on the return trip home.

Cathy Rice On Sunday, Aug. 19, Michelle Stark and Barb Swank sang special music at the Shelburne Baptist Church. Pastor Aaron Stark gave the sermon. Karen Prothero spent the weekend with her brother and sister-in-law, Greg and Leslie Prothero at Armstrong over the weekend. What a lovely shower we received this weekend. Our cattle and horses are thrilled with the greener grass. Some

may have noticed the school year has begun and kids are getting back into their routines of getting up earlier in the mornings and having a bit less time to play in the afternoons. I have had to adjust my routine a bit earlier in the morning and less time to play. I think it makes me as cranky as it does the children. In a week or so we'll all be adjusted and I'll still be cranky. I believe it is my gift. Let's not ask Cowboy Dean.

Betty Austinson Kathy Morrison had a yard party. Attending were Carolyn and Max Dickerson, Ardeth and Randy Wellman, Kimberly Telcamp, Lynn and Tom Woolf, Diana Hoppe, Nancy and Ken Thrap, Becky and Kenny Thrap, Suzie Weber, Ann and Dale Hansen, Betty Austinson and Rose Welsh. Terri and Steve Leonard, Caroline and Max Dickerson and Betty Austinson recently went to Macon to attend the theater and have lunch. Vickie Baker held a get-together at her lake home. Attending were Rose Welsh, Cyndee Chrisman, Betty Austinson, Terri Leonard, Connie and Tom Metzgar, Ann and Dale Hansen and Grace and Russ Savage.

Ken and Nancy Thrap’s lake cabin was full over the weekend as their grandchildren, Jenny and Brian Deeds and great-grandchildren, Emily, Andrew and Michael, were at the lake from Bondurant, IA. Theresa and Alexis Russell and Bill and Denise Johnson were also recent visitors. The lake shelterhouse was really jumping on Saturday night with a pulled pork dinner being served. There also was music and dancing. Ann and Dale Hansen recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Ken and Nancy Thrap will be celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary. A spaghetti luncheon will be held on Sept. 2 at the shelterhouse and the public is invited.

The Grand River Garden Club met on Monday, Aug. 20 at China One with hostess Carolyn Forman leading the members in the club collect. Mrs. Forman decorated the lunch table with pink roses and white carnations. Guests were Walker and Morgan Burchett and their mother, Ann, who spoke to the members about how they could assist 4-H groups with lessons on planting, growing and arranging flowers. Suggested field trips of learning were also discussed. Members agreed to help teach youth about flower gardening in the coming months. The North Central Missouri Fair Flower show was discussed and members expressed appreciation to the many volunteers and Hy-Vee for all of their help in making the show a success. Doris Provorse presented a program on Heirloom seeds. She said Heirloom plants are simply seeds that have been

passed down from generation to generation. They are openpollinated, meaning they rely on the insects and wind to help them pollinate. Usually they cost less than hybrid seeds. Seeds can be stored from year to year, some up to 10 years. Hybrid seeds are created by artificially crossing two or more varieties of a different plant and usually cost more than Heirloom seeds. Mrs. Provorse said her favorite flowers were Polar Bear zinnias, Love in a Mist flower, hollyhocks, cockscomb, Flowering Tobacco flower and David Austin roses. The Monday, Sept. 17 meeting will be held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church with Dianna Hoppe and Dorothy Taul as hostesses. Members will pay dues and are asked to bring items to create a wreath. Annie Forman will instruct members in fall wreath making with roadway items and pine cones.

NW Missouri Horticulture

by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist DROUGHT-STRESSED CORN AND NITRATES

On July 18, Gov. Mike Parson asked the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to activate the Drought Assessment Committee. This committee consists of state and federal partner agencies, as well as the University of Missouri. Governor Parson also issued an Executive Order at that time declaring a drought alert for 47 Missouri counties. The committee has met twice, on July 26 and Aug. 8. I will mention some of the highlights of these meetings in this week’s column. If you want more details, I have a link to the committee’s web page on my drought resources web page: http://extension.missouri.edu/nwhort/dro ught.aspx The first meeting also established two subcommittees: the Water Supply Impact Team and the Agriculture Impact Team. Both of these committees reported progress at the second meeting of the Drought Assessment Committee. The organizations comprising the committee give reports at each meeting on the efforts they are taking to mitigate the effects of the drought on Missouri residents. Before I go further, let me mention that these responses are based on the Drought Monitor. For example, when an area goes from one drought stage to a higher level, a practice (such as haying CRP ground for livestock) may begin to be allowed. This is where your input is requested. The Drought Monitor is put together each week by the National Drought Mitigation Center. They take into account many factors when creating the maps, and assigning drought stages. The more information they have, the better. Your written comments and especially photos are needed. I have been making comments and taking photos for some time now, and I would encourage you to do the same. These help them justify the stages of drought that they assign. This also helps the agencies that I will describe decide on the responses that they will offer, and those comments and photos are especially helpful when disaster declarations are made. There is a link on my web page where you can make your comments and send photos. At both meetings, we heard

updates from the National Weather Service and from Dr. Pat Guinan, Missouri State Climatologist. Dr. Rob Kallenbach of MU Extension also gave an update on how the drought is affecting agricultural producers, and the activities that MU Extension is doing to help farmers deal with the drought. The Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service announced that they have released acreages in counties that fall under the D2, and D3 but, not those acreage enrolled in CP-25. The FSA mentioned that they have money to offset costs of hauling water, but only hauling costs, not equipment. They also have funding for feeding honeybees. The FSA also mentioned that producers in affected areas may be eligible to apply for emergency loans. Existing borrowers may also be eligible for setasides, which allow for delayed payments. The Missouri Soil and Water Conservation Districts has modified their rules for people who request cost share funds for grazing systems to attend the grazing school later, to allow them to get their grazing systems started immediately, which can include wells and tanks. The SWCD is also moving conservation practices that help with drought mitigation to the top of the priority list. For ponds, they are considering funding for clean out measures, to increase holding capacity in the future. The SWCD has also raised the cap on Cover Crop Assistance programs. They are also considering allowing haying and/or grazing of cover crops established through SWCD’s. The SWCD also mentioned that as counties are moved into the D2 drought stage, they are automatically moving those counties into special programs and exclusions. This is another good reason to report drought impacts, as mentioned above. If we do get rains, and that county falls back into a D1 stage or lower, the county is still eligible for the programs, since they have been impacted by drought. These programs and exclusions will end on Dec. 1, when the governor’s executive order expires. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources financial as-

sistance program made emergency financial assistance available to communities of less than 10,000 population that fall in D2 & D3 drought areas. The DNR also mentioned that some state parks will allow water to be pumped from lakes for livestock. Check with your local state park to see if they are participating. The Missouri Department of Economic Development has Community Development Block Grant funding available for the NON-AG business side of rural communities, including Energy Loans, Infrastructure Financial Assistance, Emergency Community Water Assistance, and their regular assistance program with priority given to communities in the D2,D3 areas designated in the governors executive order. The Missouri Department of Conservation announced that water for livestock can be pumped from some of their lakes and limited haying may be allowed as well, but check with the managers of your local conservation areas to find out where this is allowed, and where it is not. The Missouri Department of Transportation mentioned that they have streamlined the permit process for hay movement. The Water Supply Impact Team has reported that there are three major water systems that have been impacted by the drought the most: Hamilton, Cameron, and the North Central Missouri Regional Water Planning Commission. I will be giving an update on the situations in Hamilton and Cameron in a future column. The question came up in the second meeting about Federal drought designations. This is something that the Secretary of Agriculture can do. As far as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, they are not set up to cover drought as a disaster. FEMA goes for one time events (earthquake, flood, tornado, hurricane, etc.). This is a Presidential Declaration. Since a drought does not fit into this category, they can’t do anything. In 2012, it was a declaration by the Secretary of Agriculture that declared our drought as a disaster. Of course, those of us with University of Missouri Extension are still very involved with helping farmers with drought concerns. We have been holding several drought meetings, and our lab in Columbia is testing for livestock water quality and livestock feed testing (nitrates, etc.). And many of us can give qualitative (not quantitative) tests for nitrates here in our local offices. The above examples show how the organizations I have described are showing an outstanding effort for timely responses to the drought and to assist Missourians.

SPOTTY RAINS PLUS HEAT HURTS COWS AS PASTURES TURN BROWN

I’ve seen brown pastures from Iowa to Arkansas. A trip with MU Extension specialists to West Plains revealed drought conditions. From border to border pastures hurt. Cow herds don’t have much grass to graze. But, there is a difference. Howell County down south is greener than Mercer County up north. We arrived at West Plains after a good rain. Lawns in town were green and lovely. Beef farmers at the meeting said what I’ve heard from one end of the state to the other. If good rain falls, it’s likely neighbors a few miles away don’t get any. Weather changed. Pat Guinan, MU climatologist, tells the difference. Cold fronts came down with the jet stream. When warm moist air from the Gulf hit cold air, we had rain. As those fronts move, rain moves with them. That spreads steady rains across the state. Now, high pressure domes build which don’t move much.

Precipitation averaged 1.70 inches statewide, 0.85 inches above normal. There were 4.9 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Aug. 19. Topsoil moisture supply was rated 34 percent very short, 32 percent short, 33 percent adequate and 1 percent surplus.

Inside the dome, there’s lots of atmospheric energy that favors pop-up thunderstorms. Those deliver rains, but just under that cloud. In travels I’ve driven through them. Or, seen the difference a few miles can make in drought symptoms. This drought doesn’t treat all alike. Overall, Missouri has deficit rainfall. North remains worse than south. What we see driving north or south are many poor pastures. Hay fields in the past held many big round bales. Now they have few bales per hillside. Drive-by scouting shows damage on pasture easier than on field crops. Standing corn may look good but ears may have few kernels or shallow kernels. When we see grass brown and grubbed into the ground, that’s bad. Beef farmers say “I’ve never fed hay in August before.” And, there’s no cheap hay to buy. Anywhere.

After we left town, Columbia got rain, but not as much as Moberly in the next county north. Weather remains uneven. Rains green up a pasture briefly. I just saw a headline. “Green does not mean drought is over.” Pastures have been hurt by lack of rain and overgrazing. When grass leaves were nipped short the area collecting sunshine is small. There’s less chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide from the air into oxygen and carbon. That carbon builds leaves and roots. A quick look at drought stricken pastures don’t show damaged roots. When steady rains return, it'll take time to regrow roots and leaves. The larger unseen losses in a drought are failed pregnancies. Cows on short rations under heat stress abort newly formed embryos. To survive, cows cut short pregnancies. She needs water and nutrients for her own survival. An MU Extension veterinarian finds on his ultrasound preg re-checks up to 20 to 25 percent open cows. Those cows tested pregnant a short time ago. Beef herd owners can’t be complacent. They may be feeding cows that will give no payback. Another preg check could save costly feed. Herds will be downsized as pastures rebuild. We have a resource not used in earlier big droughts. Byproduct feeds from biodiesel and ethanol plants make a feed source. Those may cost less than hay. The MU AgEBB updates byproduct feeds weekly. The Beef ReproGene workshop was amazing. Excellent tips for herd owners to build genetics. But, attendance was down. The drought may have hurt attendance some thought. As herds downsize, checking genetics is best way to decide the cows to cull or keep. DNA genetic tests give a better way to pick keeper cows. The best looking cow may not be the best cow to save. Genotype over Phenotype, genetics over looks, takes a change in outlook Send forage reports to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

Area School Boards Meet

Tax rates were set and naming opportunities were approved during recent meetings of the Laredo R-7, Princeton R-5 and Pleasant View R-6 boards of education. Laredo R-7 The Laredo R-7 Board of Education set the district tax levy at $5.9975 on the $100 assessed valuation on Monday, Aug. 20. The new levy is 31 cents higher than a year ago due to a decrease in the district’s assessed valuation. The board voted to take bids for its 1999 International bus until Sept. 7. The district recently purchased a new bus, which board members looked at during the meeting. Also approved by the board were the bus routes, the free and reduced lunch eligibility guidelines, the Annual Secretary of the Board Report and the special education compliance plan. No action was taken on the district copy machine. The board reviewed reports on facility and grounds, the budget and audit. It was announced that Grandparent’s Day would be held on Friday, Oct. 5 and that the Christmas program would be held on Thursday, Dec. 13. An executive session for personnel was held with no announcement made. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 10. Princeton R-5 The 2018-19 levy for the Princeton R-5 School District was set at $5.0748 on the $100 assessed valuation on Monday, Aug. 20. This was slightly higher than the levy a year ago, which was $5.0715. The as-

sessed valuation in the R-5 District has increased, allowing the district to keep its levy near the same rate as last year. Superintendent Jerry Girdner said that of the total levy approved, $3.9416 is designated for the incidental fund, 95.32 cents is for the debt service fund and 18 cents is for capital projects. Girdner noted that the state auditor’s office had said the district could set the debt service at $1.5743, however, the board chose to roll back that rate to 95.32 cents to keep its promise to district patrons of not increasing its levy when passing the 2017 bond issue. Girdner also pointed out that the 2018-19 levy is 53 cents lower than the district levy in 2013-14, which was $5.6032. The board voted to name the new all-weather track the “Jim King Track” in honor of the late Jim King, who served as a hall of fame track coach in the R-5 District for over 40 years. Numerous letters of recommendations for this honor were received by the district. Also approved was a request from the senior class to have an open lunch during the 201819 school year as well as the conflict of interest ordinance as required by the state. The board heard an update regarding improvements to the school campus, including the Stacy Center being ready for the floor to be installed. The parking lots were painted this week and volunteers continue to work on the football field and press box so they can be used at the first game on Aug. 24. Progress also continues in finishing up work at the ele-

said more is needed next year because of expenses involving upcoming projects, including line work on the west side of town and in the area of Lower Lake Trenton Urton gave updates on the headworks portion of the effluent disinfection project at the sewer plant as well as the sewer rate analysis being done in conjunction with that work. He also reported that two fire hydrants located at 12th and Main streets and Main Street and Crowder Road are in need of replacement and that TMU has replaced 34 power poles since April, including four taller poles at the request of Mid-States Services for its fiber optics project. The Iowa Boulevard water tower project is anticipated to be done by the end of the month, with work then moving to the Princeton Road tower. Committee members present were David Mlika, Travis Elbert and Jennifer Hottes. Administrative Committee Although the committee did not have a quorum present, Urton presented information that will be forwarded on to the council for further discussion. With the city’s trash hauling contract expiring on Dec. 31, the council will be asked to look at the current agreement before bids are sought. Urton said he would like to begin work on bid specifications as soon as possible, with bids to be sought in September or October and a new agreement in place by Dec. 1. The city currently has a five-year contract

mentary school. School Board President Rick Ellsworth, on behalf of the board, thanked Dennis Gutshall for his efforts in serving as construction manager for the improvement projects. An executive session was held with no announcement made. The next board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 10. Pleasant View R-6 During a meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 14, the Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education approved its annual tax rate of $4.7616 on the $100 assessed valuation. This is slightly higher than the rate of a year ago, $4.7012. The board renewed its compliance plan with Forrest T. Jones, increased the district contents insurance through Missouri United School Insurance Council and approved vision therapy for the district through NLS Education, LLC of Bethany. Also approved were the 2017-2018 annual secretary of the board report, bus routes and the free and reduced lunch guidelines. Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff updated the board on summer maintenance as well as announcing that Aug. 27 would be the first day of classes for the KEYS preschool. An early-out for teacher professional development will be held on Aug. 31 and there will be no school on Monday, Sept. 3 due to Labor Day holiday. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 11. with Rapid Removal. Urton said the city will need to look at its recycling agreement with Hope Haven as well. The council will be asked to make changes in its ordinances regarding fencing for private pools/spas. The change would require fences to be a minimum of four feet high for pools/spas at least 24 inches deep. The change would also list that the design and construction of pools/spas would comply with the international building code, which the city recently adopted. The committee is recommending the council approve a contract with Danny Stevens to rent the south end of the large hangar at the airport at a cost of $300 per month. Stevens plans to use the hangar for airplane storage. Urton told the committee he has been approached by two individuals who have expressed an interest in serving as a part-time nuisance officer. The city council has discussed having an individual handle nuisances rather than requiring the police to perform those duties, but there was concern as to whether or not a part-time person could be hired. It was noted that a part-time person would not be able to work more than 28 hours per week or 1,400 hours a year for the city and that perhaps two parttime individuals could be considered. The finance committee would also need to meet to consider how to pay for the position(s). Committee members present were Mlika and Ms. Hottes. Glenn Briggs and William Fisher were absent. cause they just weren’t used to a video system, but they get to see their loved ones more often. Also, some of their families live a long way from here and with this system they don’t have to drive to see them.” For more information on the system, persons can contact the sheriff’s office at 359-2828.

THE Daily Commuter Puzzle by Jacqueline E. Mathews

communication has meant bad things in the past. I don't want to have to go visit him in prison again. My role these days is basically nagging his dad to text him one more time. (My husband of 40-plus years is a truly wonderful man, but he's the passive/denying one; I'm the doer/rescuer. That's not a brag.) I don't know whether either of us is willing to devote more time to Al-Anon or counseling. Our lives are getting shorter every day, and we've already poured a lot of emotional energy into the sinkhole. Should we keep trying to get Sam to respond? Or what? -- Sad Stepmom Dear Sad Stepmom: If it were that easy for you to detach from your stepson, you already would have. For most friends and family members of people with addiction, it's difficult to set boundaries without outside support. I encourage you to give AlAnon another shot. I think you'll find that it actually helps retrieve some of your emotional energy from the sinkhole. It's great that you went before, but Al-Anon, like Alcoholics Anonymous, is not a program you graduate from. For more information and a list of meetings in your area, visit https://al-anon.org.

Dear Annie: I'm writing about my 53-year-old stepson, "Sam." I helped to raise Sam starting when he was 11. His first mom was murdered with a handgun a year before. He was already difficult as a younger child and already into drugs, including alcohol. Things got worse. My husband and I made mistakes, mostly on the side of enabling. We've gotten some helpful counseling and learned a lot from Al-Anon. Sam did a little therapy years ago (some of it court-ordered) and used to go to Alcoholics Anonymous, but he doesn't anymore. Too bad. AA helped him. Sam is smart and kind and sensitive and tends to set himself up to be exploited and codependent, perhaps as a way of buying friends. I ache to see his patterns change, but they are out of my control. A few years ago, he lost his house because he didn't pay his mortgage. His dad and I had bailed him out a couple of times, through loans that never got entirely paid back despite the written agreements and careful repayment schedules; the last 10 DAYS

time, he chose not to tell us he was ignoring the legal notices in the mail. We don't give him guilt trips about the money or mention it or even care, really. It's cheaper than college would have been. But I'm sure he feels a lot of guilt. He's a sensitive and principled guy. Sam now lives in a sleazy efficiency apartment about 10 minutes from us. At least it gives him some kind of community. He is holding down a job, and things seem stable financially. But he has stopped returning his father's texts asking him to get together for breakfast, and there's been no acknowledgment of the birthday check we mailed him last week. (This letter is not about wanting a thank-you note!) A couple of weeks ago, I got my son-in-law to call him and say, "Hey, phone your folks!" He did, and we had the usual upbeat chat. We made a breakfast date. But he ended up flaking on that. My husband's heart is quietly breaking. We aren't demanding a lot of Sam's time, and we know it's his life to live as best he can.

Walmart wallops Wall Street retailers and its expanded grocery offerings appear to be drawing more people to its website and its stores. Like other retailers, Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart’s results are being helped by a strong job market as well as last year’s tax cut. The stock jumped more than 9 percent to a six-month high following the company’s report. The stock remains well below its all-time high of about $109 a share, set in late January.

Walmart had its best day in 2018 last week after it reported its strongest sales growth in more than a decade. The largest U.S. retailer said sales improved both in its stores and online, and it raised its 2019 earnings outlook. Walmart’s effort to improve its stores appears to be working, as sales at U.S. stores that have been open for at least a year climbed in the latest quarter.

Ronald Nichols, 77 of Jamesport, refused medical treatment at the scene. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said a van driven by Ms. Rick was eastbound on

Route NN and attempted to cross Highway 6 onto Route F and drove in front of an eastbound car driven by Ms. McCade. The van and car collided, with the van then striking a truck driven by Nichols, which was stopped facing northbound. The van and truck received moderate damage while the car was demolished. The accident was investigated by Trooper J.P. Lynch, assisted by the Sgt. L.M. Allen, the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office.

The levy for Trenton Township will remain the same in 2019 following action taken by the township board during a hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 14. According to information provided by the board, members decided to take a voluntary reduction from the

allowable rates to keep the levy the same as it was for the 2018 taxing year. The levy will remain at 6.11 cents on the $100 assessed valuation for the general revenue fund and 27.38 cents on the $100 assessed valuation for the road and bridge fund.

Death certificates are one of the most important documents to have after the death of a loved one. Death certificates are provided by the local government office that registers deaths. Survivors will need official death certificates – simple photocopies are usually not adequate for most purposes – when applying for various death benefits such as veteran or union benefits. Death certificates are also needed when applying for pension and life insurance benefits, and other survivor benefits. Your attorney or funeral director can help you determine how many certificates you may need.

The cost varies from municipality to municipality, but is usually in the range of $12 per certificate. Usually it is less expensive to request all you need at one time. A funeral director can obtain the certificates for you, or you can obtain them directly yourself. Your funeral director can also assist you in filing for the various death benefits.
