Extension Extends Election

Monitoring Bill Faces Opposition JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House on Wednesday advanced a bill to create a statewide monitoring program for prescription opioids, but efforts to make Missouri the final state to adopt such a system still face steep opposition.

At issue is a bill by Sikeston Republican Rep. Holly Rehder to require pharmacists to log prescriptions into a database, which doctors and other pharmacists could check to see if patients are visiting multiple physicians or pharmacies to stock up on addictive drugs. Missouri is the only state without such a pro-

Sports Briefs...

Times Set For GRC Showcase Times have been set for the Grand River Conference Basketball Showcase to be held at South Harrison High School in Bethany on Saturday.

The Trenton High School girls basketball team will take on Stanberry for the league title in the high school gym at 7:30 p.m. If Trenton and Milan are able to play their GRC game on Friday and Milan wins, Trenton’s girls would bump to the two-versus-two game against Worth County at 4:30 p.m. in the high school gym.

The Trenton boys team will face Stanberry in the boys’ five-versus-five game at 6 p.m. in the middle school gym. A potential upset of Milan, currently undefeated and ranked second in the state at the Class 2 level, would put Trenton in a four-way tie for second in the GRC East, at which point tiebreakers would have to be used to determine Saturday’s schedule.

On Monday night at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton, the North Central Missouri College basketball teams played host to a pair of junior varsity squads as the school brought back homecoming. It was a night to be celebrated for the men’s team, which handled the Missouri Valley junior varsity 93-73. However, the North Central women did not enjoy the same fate, falling 66-59 to the University of St. Mary junior varsity.

NCMC MEN The North Central men used a fast pace to overwhelm Missouri Valley early, racing out to a 51-23 halftime lead. The Pirates were able to cruise in the second half, taking the game by

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

20 points.

“I loved our guys’ energy and effort tonight,” North Central Head Coach Jeremy Esry said. “I thought that led us to playing at a great pace and sharing the ball at a high clip. We still have a lot of stuff to clean up in order to become a threat, but I think tonight was a step in the right direction.”

Calvin Heidenwith led the Pirates with 17 points while Jordan Reece added 14 points and Cameron Lockett finished with 13 points and eight rebounds. Quinan Rieves and Yacento Scott each scored 11 points, Rayonte Childs had nine and Emil Spriggs handed out seven assists.

The win pushed the Pirates to 11-

10 on the season.

NCMC WOMEN The North Central women dropped their ninth-straight game, committing 18 turnovers and shooting just 30 percent from the field.

Hailey Burrows had 17 points and 11 rebounds to pace the Pirates, which also got 13 points from Maddison Book and 12 from Karrisa Baber.

With the loss, the women fell to 614 on the season.

Both NCMC teams travel to Kansas City on Saturday to take on Metropolitan Community College.

Action tips off with the girls game at 2 p.m. and the men will follow at 4 o’clock.

Dinner is set for 6 p.m., but guests are encouraged to arrive by 5:30 for the opportunity to visit with North Central players and purchase NCMC baseball apparel.

The purpose of the Winter Warm-Up is to reunite former Trenton Junior College and North Central Missouri College baseball alumni and celebrate with friends of the program.

Former Pirate players will be recognized at the event and the current team will be introduced. Mike Arbuckle, senior advisor to the general manager for the Kansas City Royals, will be the keynote speaker and MLB scout Jerry Lafferty will address the crowd as well.

Cost of the dinner is $25 per plate. Attendees are asked to RSVP and can do so by contacting NCMC Head baseball Coach Donnie Hillerman at 660-357-6412 or via email at dhillerman@mail.ncmissouri.edu. RSVPs will also be taken through messages to the NCMC baseball Facebook page.

Kids Club Wrestles Twice The Trenton Kids Wrestling Club was in action at a pair of tournaments on Saturday, Feb. 2, sending wrestlers to the Tiger Classic in Kirksville and the Missouri National in Lebanon.

In Kirksville, Riley Griffin (6U/50A), Slade Wiebers (6U/55A), Kynsen Bain (6U/55B), Bryar Foster (8U/60B), Chase Foster (10U/130), Myles Griffin (10U/120) and Brayden Hughs (12U/115) all won first place in their respective divisions. Owen Lowe (6U/50B), Braylee Barron (6U/70), Jackson Black (8U/55A), Statler Wiebers (8U/55B), Caleb Dixon (8U/70) and Leon McPherson (12U/135) were all second place at the event and Jackson Miller (6U/65) finished third. Fourth-place finishers from Trenton included Bentlee Tunnell (8U/60A), Jayla Bell (10U/75), Sam Wiebers (10U/95) and Gavin Chambers (14U/115). Henry Lasley (10U/90) and Brayden Clause (14U/105) each finished fifth.

In Lebanon, Coleman Griffin (14U/135) was fifth and Hunter McAtee (14U/100) was sixth.

Pajak Finishes Runner-Up Aryn Pajak of the Trenton Boxing Club competed in the National Silver Gloves Tournament in Independence on Jan. 30-Feb. 2. Pajak finished second in the 9- to 10-yearold, 90-pound division at the event, losing to a California opponent in the finals by a 3-2 split decision.

Pajak received a first-round bye and topped a New York opponent in the semifinals with a unanimous decision victory. The tournament featured the eight region champions from across the nation.

“Aryn has only been with the boxing club for two years and has competed in 20 states and amassed a very nice record and collection of awards,” Trenton Boxing Club Coach Rocky Dunkin said. “For now, we will have to settle for second in the nation, but we will definitely be back, chasing the number-one spot.”

Pajak and teammate Parker Findley will next be in action on Feb. 16 in Mason City, IA.

Jadan Whitney rolls Chillicothe’s Matt Callen over for a pin during the Bulldogs’ dual with the Hornets on Monday night in Trenton. Whitney, the top-ranked 195-pound wrestler in the state at the Class 1 level, bumped up to 220 pounds to face Callen, who is ranked fifth in the state at the Class 2 level for that weight.

Whitney Moves To 220, Dominates State-Ranked Opponent Jadan Whitney had a choice to make on Monday night prior to the Trenton High School wrestling team’s make-up dual with the Chillicothe Hornets.

The top-ranked 195-pound wrestler in the state at the Class 1 level could stay home and pick up a fairly easy win at 195, or he could jump up a weight class to take on the fifth-ranked 220-pounder in the state at the Class 2 level in Chillicothe’s Matt Callen.

Whitney has never been one to back down from a challenge.

“At 195, most of our opponents aren’t usually the best,” Whitney said. “This year I have had a lot of open (weights).

Bumping up and getting better matches and getting ready for districts is kind of what I want to do. I’m decent friends with the Chillicothe guys and they really wanted me to bump up and wrestle (Callen) so I said ‘I might as well.’”

From the moment lineup introductions were made and Whitney was slotted in at 220, the build-up began. Fans waited through 12 weight classes for the marquee match-up.

Only the bout didn’t live up to the hype.

Whitney dominated the bigger wrestler, scoring a lightning-quick takedown right off the bat and nearly turning it into a pinfall with back points. When Callen regained his base, Whitney released and gave an escape to the ranked Chillicothe wrestler.

“We’ve always talked about starting off the match with that first takedown,” Whitney said. “If you can get your nearfall right after it, it really just boosts your confidence through the match. It doesn’t put any pressure on you so, once I got that five-pointer on the first takedown. I felt pretty good.”

Whitney secured a second takedown, adding back points again during another nearfall before granting Callen a second escape. Whitney kept on the offensive, however, netting a third takedown right afterward.

Looking up and seeing time waning in the opening period, Whitney decided to put an end to the match. He muscled up one final time, rolling a foe who outweighed him by nearly 30 pounds to his back to score the pin just before time expired in the first.

“I’m always confident in Jadan,” Trenton Head Coach Charlie Bacon said. “I kind of let him call the shot there. I knew he was the better wrestler and I knew he would come out on top. Usually, when Jadan wants to do something and he sets his mind to it, it’s pretty well done. There was no fighting him off from wrestling at 220 tonight, that’s for sure.”

Whitney’s win was the highlight of the night, but hardly the only victory for Trenton. Despite falling 47-27 in the dual, Trenton won six of the 10 matches contested on the night.

Brice Gibler gave Trenton its first win of the night at 126 pounds, picking up a 7-2 decision win. Kaden Owen netted a decision at 145 as well, winning 10-9.

Owen nearly had a pin in the first period and was nearly pinned in the second, but when time ran out in the third and final period, Owen had the one-point decision victory.

Noah Lewis and Mark Trump picked up back-to-back wins by fall at 160 and 170, respectively. Caleb Johnson then kept Trenton’s run going, scoring a 5-2 decision win at 182. Johnson led 3-2 in the third period, but allowed an escape late to cut his lead to a single point. Chillicothe’s Donald McCracken came at Johnson strong, looking for a match-winning takedown, but Johnson used his opponent’s momentum against him to secure one final takedown and put the match out of reach.

Whitney’s win was the fifth in a row for Trenton on the mat in the dual.

“Over the last couple of weeks I have been seeing us build momentum,” Bacon said. “It all starts with some of our younger guys. Brice Gibler has kind of

been a sure thing for me here lately. He’s been getting the ball rolling lately and then it just carries on. Kaden Owen goes out and wins a really close match and that is huge for the team. Then Noah Lewis has just been on fire lately and what perfect timing with districts coming up. Then Mark Trump is the same way and Caleb Johnson comes out of nowhere and beats a kid he has no business beating. He has been wrestling really well lately. He’s a small freshman and people underestimate him. Then Jadan puts the icing on the cake.”

Thomas Lovell opened the dual at 106.

He fought off several pin attempts but wound up losing by a 16-0 technical fall.

Payden McCullough (132) and Dakota Wendt (138) each had their hands full with Class 2 state-ranked wrestlers. McCullough lost by fall to Colton Sewell, ranked fifth in the state, and Wendt lost by fall to Lavery Jones, ranked eighth. Both Trenton wrestlers were able to stretch their matches into the second period before succumbing to the pinfall. Jarvis Collis also lost by fall to a state-ranked wrestler at 285. Collis was pinned by fifth-ranked Keegan Valdez but, like his teammates, fought into the second period before losing by fall.

Open weights hurt the Bulldogs in the final score. Trenton was open at 113, 120, 152 and 195 after Whitney bumped up to 220, where Trenton would have been open had he not. The 24 points lost in the open weights was more than the 20-point final margin of victory for the Hornets.

It was senior night for Trenton, which honored Whitney, Collis and Teresa Yoder from the girls wrestling team prior to the dual.

The dual with Class 2 Chillicothe proved to be the final dual of the season for Trenton, who will be in Class 1, District 3 Tournament action on Friday and Saturday in Higginsville. First-round matches are slated to begin Friday at 5 p.m.

SPORTS NCAA FOOTBALL

National Signing Day

New Coaches At K-State, KU Wrap Up Recruiting Classes LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Les Miles spent the final night ahead of national signing day ensconced in a conference room inside the Kansas football facility, working his cell phone to piece together the last pieces of his initial class with the Jayhawks.

Just down the Interstate 70, Chris Klieman was busy doing the same thing at Kansas State, pausing only to rile up the crowd at halftime of the Wildcats' basketball game against their bitter rival.

All of which seemed fitting.

Miles and Klieman were hired late last year to turn around programs fallen on hard times, the former one of the worst in college football and the latter after it slipped the past couple of seasons under Hall of Famer Bill Snyder. And that meant both were forced to not only build a staff but land a recruiting class that could lay the foundation for that purpose.

"We started late. I took my time hiring this staff and it cost us a little," Miles said. "The things we wanted to do in the short term was those needs

the team had to have and had to have quickly."

The Jayhawks finished off a 19member class Thursday, the first day of the February signing period. Many of them signed during the early period in December, including touted junior college quarterback Thomas MacVittie, but the rest committed over the past couple of months.

They wound up being the gems of the class.

Four-star prospect Steven Parker, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end out of Texas was perhaps the most highly sought. He was the state's defensive player of the year, an imposing physical presence that not only filled a crucial need but also began a foothold in the talent-rich state.

Miles wasn't done in Texas, either.

He landed three-star athlete Velton Gardner out of perennial powerhouse Dallas Skyline, fulfilling the coach's desire to get faster and more athletic.

Miles then plucked a late addition in physical running back Amauri Pesek-Hickson from the Kansas City

suburb of Overland Park. He had been a longtime commitment to Michigan before backing out when the Wolverines asked him to attend prep school and sign with next year's class instead.

Pesek-Hickson punted that opportunity and jumped on the rebuilding process at Kansas.

"I think physical football has to be played by big men at some point in time. Even the wide receivers, looking at height and size," Miles said. "I think it's necessary at some point in time."

Another priority? Locking down the Midwest.

That naturally led to a head-tohead showdown with his Kansas State counterpart.

Oklahoma linebacker Gavin Potter had been committed to the Wildcats for a while, but Texas Tech had started to make inroads with a new coaching staff. When signing day dawned, it was the Jayhawks who swept into Broken Arrow and swiped away the middle linebacker prospect.

"That was certainly a very competitive recruiting process," Miles said.

"I think there was an attachment in a lot of different ways to this school. ...

It appeared to me that he was going to have interest, and sometimes in recruiting it becomes important certain guys come."

Klieman dealt with a couple of staff changes late in the cycle, losing his initial defensive coordinator pick to an NFL job and one of his defensive position coaches to West Virginia. But he still added seven more prospects to his early signing list, including speedy wide receiver Joshua Youngblood and help at three crucial areas: running back, defensive back and defensive line.

The top prospect could be threestar running back Thomas Grayson out of Booker T. Washington in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's the same school that produced Kansas State standout Tyler Lockett, and gives the Wildcats help at a position that returns exactly zero scholarship players next season.

Clyde Price, a bruising running

back from Kansas City, also signed during the late period.

The defensive side showed that Klieman is willing to cast a wider net than Snyder's staffs did. Matthew Pola-Mao is from Arizona, fellow defensive tackle Kenny Givens from Chicago, three-star safety Tyrone Lewis is from Louisiana and cornerback Kenyon Reed from California.

"We're still going to hammer the footprint area, which is Kansas, Missouri, the state of Texas is always going to be big," Klieman said, "but you have to be able to nationally recruit. Kansas State has a national name, national brand, so to get a few kids from other areas is great."

The work doesn't stop for Miles or Klieman anytime soon.

Both coaches said they plan to turn their attention toward offseason programs and spring ball, and building cohesiveness within the staffs. But they also will be back on the recruiting trail, laying the foundation for their second classes and first with a full cycle at their disposal.

INSURANCE CORNER

by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO

Long-Term Strategies When long-term-care insurance policy holders are faced with premium hikes, there are ways to lower costs without appreciably reducing coverage.

One of the easiest ways to cut premiums is to reduce the coverage term, which may be a particularly good option for those with policies that provide lifetime benefits. Reducing coverage to three or five years still provides enough protection to cover the average claim period. Another cost-cutting option involves reducing the policy's inflation protection from 5% to 3%, depending on the policyholder's age and how much his or her coverage has increased. If the daily benefit has risen appreciably since the time it was purchased, older policyholders, in particular, may find that they can afford to reduce the inflation protection.

At ROBERT BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY, we have over three decades of experience in working with senior products. To learn more, please call 660-359-5973. We assure that you are well informed of the options available, which allows you to be comfortable in the decisions you must make about your health care coverage. Our office is located at 915 E.

OP/ED

Five Points

by Wendell Lenhart

The Value Of Public Notices Public notices in newspapers have long been the preferred method of notifying the public of actions that may, and probably will, have some effect on their lives.

Governmental entities are required to publish notices of actions they are considering taking that could have an affect, both financially and environmentally, on their citizens. They are a great source of information to find out what is going on in a community that they should be interested in. I know many people who read all of them in every edition that we publish.

Wendell Lenhart To that end, the county financial statement will be printed in the Republican-Times later this month. It will have clearly defined lists of revenues received and money spent by the county in 2018. Taxpayers will be able to see where their tax money was spent and who received what amount.

It’s an easy way to study the operation of the county for the last year and it can be referred to many times over and give answers to a lot of questions. It also can raise some questions which taxpayers can go to the proper county office to get some answers.

There are always proposals each year in the Missouri Legislature to do away with public notices in order to save some money for the governmental entities. In most of the proposals, the notices would be posted on a website somewhere that would be difficult to find and not be readily accessible to the local community. And instead of being where they are easily read for all to see, they might just be posted at the discretion of the person running the website.

Not only are public notices published in our newspaper, they are also published on a statewide website operated by the Missouri Press Association, giving anyone who is interested an opportunity to see what is going on all over the state.

Sometimes it’s hard to gauge the effectiveness of public notices as the actions that occur because of them don’t always become public themselves. But in some cases they do.

I hope you take the time to read the article elsewhere on this page about public notices saving one county thousands of dollars. It happened not too far from here in Ottumwa, IA, and shows the difference between knowing versus not knowing, can have on the financial well-being of a government entity.

What Others Are Saying....

Common Sense Sometimes it's easy to overlook some of the simple, common-sense things that our legislators in Jefferson City cannot find a way past.

Guest Editorials Two quick examples: • Years of data make it abundantly clear that texting while driving is incredibly dangerous. No one should be subject to the injury, death and damage that can arrive randomly when another driver's attention is distracted from the road. Everyone has a story of a close call - or worse. That's why 47 states have banned texting while driving.

Missouri is not one of them. It only bans that for drivers under 21. Missouri doesn't even ban cell phones in the hands of school bus drivers.

This is a no-brainer, yet our state just can't make this happen, though legislation has been filed again this year.

• Every state but one - Missouri - has a statewide prescription drug monitoring program. This is a direct response to the opioid crisis, an attempt to cut down on addicts going from doctor to doctor to score prescriptions for powerful pain meds. Several counties, including Jackson County, started their own program a couple years ago with the thought that it would nudge the Legislature to act on a statewide plan. Didn't happen.

Former Gov. Greitens in 2017 rolled out a program that amounts to a half-step. The opioid crisis is real, and Missouri is among the harder hit states. We deserve better for the sake of both the individuals affected and for their families and communities.

These aren't even among the big issues that are, or should be, on our legislators' agenda: roads and bridges, health care, schools, attracting business and finding the workers for good jobs. But why can't they address relatively straightforward issues with solutions that have worked in nearly all other states? Inaction causes suffering.

It makes sense that a bill is seldom written, filed, heard in committee, debated and amended, and then passed and signed in a single year. There are 197 representatives and senators in Jefferson City, with a wide range of perspectives and interests, and it takes time to get people on board. But it often takes far too long just to enact the common-sense stuff that shouldn't be controversial.

Legislators are nearly one month into their four-and-ahalf month session. We get the sense that leaders in Jefferson City have a pretty good grasp of Missouri's challenges and opportunities. But what is the plan - other than what Gov. Parson himself calls his "Band-Aid" plan to fix 250 bridges - on infrastructure? There's lot of handwringing on workforce development, as good jobs go wanting. Lots of talk. Not a new issue. Now, what's the plan, and will enough elected officials get behind it?

Newspaper Notice Saves County “Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars” Courtesy of Public Notice Resource Center CVS Caremark recently charged Wapello County, IA, $198.22 for a bottle of generic antipsychotic pills dispensed by a local pharmacy. CVS reimbursed the pharmacy just $5.73 for the pills.

Guest Editorials We know about this enormous markup because one of the owners of the pharmacy, Mark Frahm, read a public notice in the local Ottumwa Courier and did some sleuthing. Frahm’s investigation ultimately had a significant impact that continues to reverberate. Locally, it led the county jail to drop CVS as its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) and purchase meds directly from Frahm’s South Side Drug. The move is “expected to save the county tens of thousands of dollars,” according to the Courier.

It also led to a state senate hearing on drug pricing and served as the lede for a Bloomberg News feature detailing the enormous sums of money middlemen like CVS earn through a practice known as “spread pricing.”

All because of a public notice.

Frahm is a regular reader of the notices published every weekday in the back of the Courier. He told us he reads them to learn what’s happening in his community — who died, whose mortgages are being forceclosed on, what the local government is up to. “I also read them to know when I need to congratulate my customers for getting job promotions.” Those kinds of details are often noted in the minutes of local city council and county board of supervisors meetings published in the paper.

In January, he noticed a line item for CVS Caremark in the county’s list of expenditures that are included every month in those meeting minutes. His antenna was

already up because he knew South Side Drug was losing money on the medications it had been selling through CVS to the county jail. So he decided to visit the facility and compare the prices they were paying CVS to the amounts he was being reimbursed for the same drugs What he found stunned him.

In one case he described to the Courier, South Side Drug bought medication from a wholesaler for $1,500 and was reimbursed only $1,000 by CVS. The PBM charged the jail $5,000 for the same drugs.

“Middlemen have to make some money, but we didn’t expect it to be this extreme,” Frahm told Bloomberg News. “We figured everyone was playing fair.”

Now that the jail has dropped CVS as its PBM, it is paying the local pharmacy just $1,500 plus a $12 handling fee for the same medication. And the county is saving almost $3,500 on the transaction. “(Frahm) wanted our business directly, for us to work through him; he told us he’d charge us what his cost was, plus a handling fee,” Sheriff Mark Miller told the Courier. “It seems fairer all around.”

In April, Wapello County Supervisor Jerry Parker accompanied Frahm to Des Moines where they testified in a “highly charged” hearing of the Iowa House Government Oversight Committee. The committee is considering legislative fixes so the full impact of the public notice in the Courier may yet to have been felt. So the full impact of the public notice in the Courier may yet to have been felt.

We don’t know how much Wapello County is paying the Courier every year to publish its notices. But we can guarantee it’s far less than the tens of thousands of dollars it will now save because Mark Frahm reads them.

How To Win Money For HIghways

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News Missouri's governor and legislators should look to 1987 to find an effective way to address the financial problems of our state highways being addressed this year by Gov. Mike Parson.

Guest Editorials That was the last year Missouri voters approved a major increase in taxes for transportation.

Not too many decades ago, there was a forceful, statewide coalition of business and community leaders that was very public in pushing for highway improvements and funding increases.

A key leader was Burleigh Arnold, a top executive of Jefferson City's Central Trust Bank and the leader of the transportation coalition, the Missouri Transportation and Development Council.

At the time, I was a bit skeptical. The banking industry had a financial interest in the issue because of loans to construction firms awarded highway contracts. Other council members had similar financial interests in better highways.

But Arnold pulled together a full-throated, statewide and well-financed campaign promoting improved transportation funding that far exceeded the efforts for the last two transportation funding defeats in 2014 and 2018.

I've not seen since such a well-organized and major statewide organization with such a statewide publicity campaign. I definitely do not sense that kind of groundwork behind this year's proposal from Parson.

His plan involves a $350 million bond issue to repair or replace bridges across the state.

But already a couple of St. Louis area legislators have voiced objections because there are no proposed projects in their areas. are not included. And the Kansas City Star has questioned why Kansas City was excluded.

Those attacks remind me of a tactic employed by the late Sen. Norman Merrell, D-Monticello, who had a long history of seeking more funding for state highways by bond issues and gas-tax increases back in those earlier decades..

Merrell's approach to avoid the kind of criticism Parson has encountered was to require an "authorization" bill identifying the transportation projects that could be funded if a transportation funding increase was approved.

Merrell's authorization proposal included projects across

the state that covered, as I remember, every legislative district.

But there was a problem.

Merrell's authorization proposal exceeded the amount of money that would be raised.

When I raised that issue, I remember Merrell chuckling and then essentially telling me, that's how you get votes.

I'm not suggesting deceit as a means to achieve legislative or voter approval. After all, we've seen enough false promises from politicians to be wary of that kind of approach.

But Merrell's tactic reflected an understanding of the historic "pork barrel" concept that you've got to get legislators to at least believe they've got a chance of a benefit.

It struck me as first winning support for funding increases and then let the food-fight begin as to whom gets what.

Beyond contrasts with that earlier period, there are some other, potential problems for Parson's plan.

I suspect there'll be stiff legislative opposition to putting the state into a bond-issue debt to be paid off with state General Revenue normally used to fund programs like education and law enforcement.

That's a major departure from the tradition that highways are funded by those who use highways through motor fuel taxes and motor vehicle license fees.

Remember, it was not too many years ago that a general sales tax increase for highways was decisively defeated by Missouri voters.

Finally, as one statehouse lobbyist remarked to me, the governor's bond issue idea lacks an inspiring and comprehensive vision.

It doesn't address the problem of the highway damage and congestion from interstate trucks roaring through the state without providing local communities any real benefit.

It doesn't address the problem of a motor fuel tax based on the amount of gallons you pour into your car rather than a sales tax on the cost of that gasoline that automatically would increase highway revenue with rising gasoline costs.

As Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe repeatedly would tell me when he was in the Senate, a comprehensive solution to the state's highway problems will require more than one part - including, maybe, toll roads.

But, of course, maybe a bond issue debate will begin the conversation about a problem that has been growing for years.

gram.

This year the measure has support from legislative leaders and new Gov. Mike Parson , and it's no longer threatened by a former senator who for years led opposition to it.

But longstanding privacy concerns about a governmentrun database and questions about the effectiveness of such a program in combatting the opioid crisis remain, and the proposal is getting a mixed response from lawmakers so far this year.

"I have heard the idea that it's going to move quickly and easily," said Weldon Spring Republican Sen. Bill Eigel, who opposes the measure. "I don't think that's accurate."

House members voted 11043 Wednesday to give Rehder's

bill initial approval, but only after lawmakers pitched several amendments that she said would have effectively killed the bill, such as requiring medical marijuana to be tracked.

Another failed amendment would have required doctors and pharmacists to check the database, a provision that Rehder said likely would make the program more effective but that the Sikeston Republican cautioned has previously led to the bill's death in the Senate.

"This bill will not pass with this amendment on," Rehder told colleagues on the House floor. "We've already proven that."

The measure needs another vote of approval to move to the Senate.

Bills to create a prescription drug monitoring program have repeatedly failed in Missouri's upper chamber, in large part

We have an opportunity to put forward a bold infrastructure plan that safely incorporates innovation and technology. It makes no sense that we have 21st Century technology with a 20th Century infrastructure. The President has lent his support time and again to rebuilding our roads, bridges, locks, dams, ports, rail and so much more. It would be hard to find an issue that is more bipartisan than infrastructure and I look forward to getting something done this year.

Likewise, we still need to secure our border which means building a wall. For years, border security was a bipartisan issue.

Who could disagree with ensuring that our laws are being followed and illegals aren’t allowed in the country? Yet, this has become incredibly polarizing for some because the President is the one calling for it.

I’ve called for a wall for years and my colleagues used to agree with me, even agreeing to allocate resources to it at one

point. We still have a dangerous border that threatens our national security. It only makes sense that we put differences aside and, once again, move to fully secure our border for the safety and sovereignty of our country.

The call was put forward to work together for the continued greatness of America. We’ve done it before and I know we can do it again. It’s time to put the obstruction aside and come together around common-sense policies like infrastructure and border security that are critical for the success of our nation moving forward.

The Trenton FFA chapter held a meeting on Nov. 28, where they were able to make changes to the chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Program of Activities. Food was served and members played the game â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minute to Win It.â&#x20AC;?

Fence Law Discussion Set For Feb. 21 A program to discuss Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fence law will be held on Thursday, Feb. 21 in Trenton.

The program, sponsored by the University of Missouri Extension, will be held in the Lager Building on the North Central Missouri College Barton Farm Campus. A meal will served at 6 p.m., with the program to follow. Pre-registration is required for supper as space is limited. There is no charge for the program.

Joe Koenen, agricultural business specialist with the University of Missouri Extension, will be presenting the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missouri continues to have a very complicated fence law, in large part due to the fact that two separate laws cover the state depending on the county that your land is in,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Koenen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you own land, you really need to know the law and how it impacts you whether you own livestock or notâ&#x20AC;?.

He noted that the 2016 a portion of the law was changed to address livestock liability that affects livestock and non-livestock owners alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other problems are that both laws are subject to interpretation and can be a little different, depending on the county you are in,â&#x20AC;? Koenen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landowners need to be aware of what the law is in their county and this meeting will help them better understand their rights and responsibilities.â&#x20AC;?

The program will be done via Zoom so attendees can see the presentation and also ask questions of the presenter.

For questions or to register, persons can contact the Grundy County Extension Office at 660-357-6580 or by e-mail at berrym@missouri.edu.

Farmers never get snow days. I stole that wisdom from a Tweet.

That applies especially on cattle farms. Cows bred nine months ago are calving now, no matter the weather. Herd workers watch close in case of need.

I was at home on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;polar vortex day.â&#x20AC;? MU closed campus on the coldest day in decades. Earlier we took off two days for heavy snow.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind. I write at home as easy as on campus.

That is I can when the power stays on. Electrical workers and road crews donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get snow days. In Columbia, 7,000 were without power.

Work didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at MU Thompson Farm near Spickard a few miles south of Iowa.

Calving season starts at the research farm in January. That means cows must be watched

day and night to help any calving that might turn difficult.

Calving changed a lot since I was a boy on the farm. I helped bring newborn calves to the house to warm and dry behind the wood stove.

Last week when I called Jon Schreffler, MU farm manager, he put me off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting heifers that might calve tonight into the barn.â&#x20AC;? That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done in my farm days.

Later, Jon said about onethird of the calves have been born so far. Only one calf lost.

That bull calf came backwards, a difficult birth. It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pulled before suffocating.

MU Thompson Farm leads the world in research on FixedTime Artificial Insemination. All females in a group are inseminated in one morning. That gives a known calving day nine months later. MU research improves calving ease.

NW Missouri Horticulture

by Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist TERRARIUMS - PART 1 In my last column, I discussed the history of terrariums, and a few factors in selecting a terrarium and preparing the bed.

When you select plants, several things must be kept in mind. First is plant height. Although taller plants can be trimmed back, this will require more work on your part, so shorter plants will work better.

Light requirements must also be considered. Some plants require more light than others do.

It is important to remember that the closed container can never be placed in direct sunlight, since it would "cook" the plants.

You must also evaluate the plant's humidity toleration. A closed container will provide a humid environment, so the plant must be suitable. Finally,

Calving ease takes prebreeding exams of heifers and genetic progeny scoring. One of the most used EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) is calving ease.

Before this research, high death rates occurred in baby calves and first-calf heifers.

Problems ran high as 19 percent. Even with care some deaths occur. Mother Nature doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read research journals.

Thompson Farm has an aid that cuts work on checking calving cows. Closed circuit TV shows workers in the office whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in the calving barn.

A herdsman must be there to watch. Also, Schreffler checks from home on his tablet. Technology comes with Internet coverage. Grand River Mutual, the phone provider, helps at calving time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give up video,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said.

TV in a calving barn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new. Jerry Litton, former beef breeder at Chillicothe, used it decades ago. Jerry led ahead in so much of cattle breeding.

He changed the beef industry before his death. A terrible loss.

Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major at MU College of Agriculture wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beef. He

was in agricultural journalism, bringing communications to the beef industry.

Litton made fame through journalism. In his public meetings I covered, he teased that he was the source, not the writer.

MU Thompson farm still advances ways to better cattle breeding. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to write; I have a job.

Snow days arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vacations.

I work indoors. Herd managers go out no matter depth of snow or chill of winds.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent cold days in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new barnâ&#x20AC;? at Thompson. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used for breeding and calving.

AI protocols are perfected there.

When I visited Jon on Friday, it was warmer but still freezing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calves were running, bucking and enjoying the sun,â&#x20AC;? Jon said.

Calves are born tough. But, Show-Me-Select steers grow up to make some of the tenderest beef. In feedouts, those steers have graded two-thirds USDA Prime. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good eating. Prime also brings premium prices.

Young people can learn careers in beef or in reporting at the MU College of Agriculture.

Tell winter tales at duanedailey7@gmail.com.

the temperature requirement of the plant must be met. Some like warmer temperatures, others prefer cooler.

Since you will probably want more than one kind of plant, you will have to consider all these factors for each plant you want to include. Make sure that all of the plants you select will work together for the conditions that you choose.

After preparing your terrarium and planting your selected plants, you will need to add some water. If this will be a closed container, this must be done carefully. It is easy to overwater, and once closed, the water will stay there. It's better to err on the side of too little water, than too much. You can always add more if needed, but the only way to remove excess water is to leave the cover off until it evaporates. Once the proper amount of water is

added, close the container and relax. As the plants transpire water, it will recycle within the container. You may not need to add water for some time.

Assuming you started out with the proper amount of water, it could be six months or longer before you need to add water, depending on how well sealed your system is. Remember Dr. Ward from my column last month? It was four years for his fern and grass, without a drop of water added.

Fertilizer should not be needed for a while, assuming you started out with a good soil mix.

If this sounds like the perfect winter project for you, give us a call. We have a guide sheet (G6520), which gives detailed instructions as well as a list of plants suitable for terrariums and their environmental requirements.

The ivory-over-old gold gown was fashioned with lace appliques over whimsical layers of textured tulle and chic organza. It featured a v-neckline, illusion strips accented with lace appliques and a square back. Swarovski crystals and beading added shimmer. The gown was finished with covered buttons over a zipper closure and had a rose gold Swarovski crystal belt. The bride completed the ensemble with an ivory cathedral-length veil. She carried a bouquet of white roses with two pink rose buds in honor of her deceased grandmothers, Bonita LaFollette and Letha Woodard.

pire waist.

Reasons Your Heart Will Thank You For Starting The Day With Whole Grains Here’s why health experts recommend whole grains for Heart Month … and every month. Whole grains are unrefined grains. They give your body extra antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, all of which are essential to good health. Including whole grains in your diet is a great way to clean your arteries of fats, and they keep you feeling full so you avoid over eating. Whole grains are generally good sources of dietary fiber; most refined (processed) grains contain little fiber. As part of an overall healthy diet, dietary fiber from whole grains help reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Replacing high-fat proteins with lean or plant-based proteins, such as those found in whole grains, may help reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease.

Dietary fiber — found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains like oatmeal and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation.

High-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, which gives your body time to register when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. Also, a high-fiber diet tends to make a meal feel larger and linger longer, so you stay full for a greater amount of time. High-fiber diets also tend to be less "energy dense," which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food. Slow down the pace of your meals and learn to recognize the feeling of fullness. This will also optimize digestion preventing gas, bloating and discomfort. By paying close attention to taste, textures, and sensation, you can savor each bite and get more enjoyment out of your food.

Cathy Rice At worship services on Sunday, Feb. 3 at the Shelburne Baptist Church, Kasey Otto sang "My God, He Loves."

Pastor Aaron Stark spoke from Romans 10:1-21.

I enjoy reading historical fiction books. Often you read a chapter in one of these books about the emotions that overtake a person who gets cabin fever. Perhaps that is an explanation for the random feeling of gloom and doom that has settled upon me as I saw the winter weather alerts on my phone and across the screen of the television today. I don't recollect how the characters in books pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and worked

thru it. So I'm just going to put on some 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, really loud and dance it off. That has got to be a way to fix the blues.

If nothing else perhaps I'll drop a pound or two. On a bright note, I have seen, and a few different folks have let me know they have seen, several eagles over the past couple of weeks. It is right at nesting time and there are also eagles who are following the geese migration. Keep an eye toward the sky and, if you are watching a large bird gliding, chances are you are watching an eagle. It's too early for buzzards and, while we have an abundance of hawks, eagles are much larger.

Dear Annie: I'm a 74-yearold single man who has never been in circulation.

I have relatives, friends and others who keep asking me, "When are you getting married?" I don't even know where to start with dating. I don't know what it is these days or whether it even exists for me.

Should I have announcements printed to let people know I'm looking to date? Should I run a notice in the newspaper? Or should I simply tell people at a family dinner? We have a family dinner coming up on Valentine's Day, so I thought then might be a good time to do it. It needs to be known that not all of us are socially active and successful. More than a few of us are simply passed over, ignored or rejected, both men and women. And our chances are not improved by having to tell others that we've never really dated. I was never invited to social gatherings. As a result, I don't have some of the skills needed. I don't know the latest dances, etc. Any ideas or suggestions? -- 74-Year-Old Wallflower Dear Wallflower: It's time for you to branch out from that wall and grow into the person

you were always meant to be.

Start this process by reaching out to friends and family. Let them know you're interested in dating and looking for guidance. As Bill Withers sang, "no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show."

You also need to overhaul your mindset from that of a passive spectator to that of an active participant. You mention being "passed over," as if dating were a schoolyard basketball game in which everyone but you got picked for a team. That sort of thinking is toxic and paralyzing -- and incredibly hard to shake on your own. A professional counselor could help you open up and get away from that wall you've been clinging to for so long. Make an appointment today.

Dear Annie: I've been wanting to go vegan for a while now, but I'm scared it would have nutritional repercussions. I've eaten meat my whole life, and I want to make sure my body wouldn't miss out on the nutrients it needs if I adopted this extreme diet change. How can I switch my diet to vegan while maintaining good nutrition?

Also, I hear that a vegan diet is more expensive than a main-

stream omnivore diet. Is that necessarily true? -- Veering to Vegan Dear Veering to Vegan: A vegan diet -- one rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains -can be very healthful and affordable, with a little planning.

You might be surprised to learn how many plant sources of protein there are, including lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, tofu, oats, broccoli, spinach (Popeye knew what he was doing) and many others. Most of the aforementioned are also good sources of iron -- and as an added bonus, they're all relatively affordable.

If you make such foods the staple of your vegan diet, you'll most likely find yourself spending less on groceries, not more.

The one thing you can't get sufficient amounts of from a vegan diet is vitamin B-12, so be sure to take a supplement for that.

And of course, the big caveat to all of this is that I'm no doctor.

Please talk to a dietitian or your physician about planning a diet that meets all your needs.

Smartphone woes

The smartphone industry is entering a new phase as Samsung, Apple and other leading manufacturers struggle to reverse a year-plus slump.

The number of smartphones shipped worldwide fell 4 percent last year, marking the biggest one-year drop since Apple’s iPhone came out in 2007, according to the research firm IDC. The downturn has now lasted five consecutive quarters. That raises questions about whether smartphones are stuck in a temporary sales lull or entering a long-term malaise like the one that has plagued

personal computers since 2012.

Industry leaders Samsung and Apple are having a particularly tough time selling phones in China, where an ongoing trade war with the U.S. has weakened the country’s economy and more consumers are embracing products made by homegrown companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Worldwide phone shipments from those two companies surged by more than 30 percent last year.

The industry is hoping for a boost from new features, such as foldable screens, and the forthcoming rollout of a faster wireless technology known as 5G.
