Despite the early spring snow, volunteers at the Grundy County Community Food Pantry were out in full force on Friday, providing food boxes to persons during the pantry’s monthly distribution. There were 230 clients who picked up food items, including 119 in the first hour. Another commodity drive through is planned in the near future, with the date to be announced later.
MUNICIPAL/SCHOOL ELECTIONS
Trenton Has Hotel Tax On Ballot
Not Everyone Will Vote On June 2 Not everyone will need to go to the polls for the June 2 muncipal/school election and, in fact, some polling places won’t even be open due to no races in that precinct. Below is a breakdown of what will be on the various ballots in Grundy County and where voters should go to vote: Trenton’s Four Wards - Voters in Trenton’s four wards will gave the opportunity to vote on a 5 percent lodging tax for motels and hotels and while the city council candidates are also listed on the ballot, there are no races as only one candidate filed in each of the wards. Voters in those four wards will also see four candidates listed for the three open seats on the Trenton R-9 School District, however, incumbent Doug Franklin announced after the ballots were printed that he is moving from the area and will not be serving. That leaves three candidates to fill the three positions - incumbents Corey Leeper and Brandon Gibler and newcomer Andy Burress. Those in the first ward can vote at the Grundy County Courthouse while second ward voters may cast ballots at the Frey Administrative Building on the North Central Missouri College campus. Third ward voters can cast ballots at the First Christian Church. and the fourth ward polling place is the First Baptist Church activity center.
AREA SCHOOL BOARDS
Jefferson Lincoln and Harrison Townships The only issue on the ballot in those townships will be the Trenton R-9 School Board, which now does not have a race. However, voters can still vote their ballot at the Grundy County Courthouse, if desired. Jackson Township - There are no issues on the ballot for Jackson Township voters, who normally vote at the First Baptist Church. Liberty Township - The only issue on the ballot would be the Trenton R-9 school board race, which is no longer relevant with the withdrawal of Doug Franklin. There are only nine R-9 voters in the township and no polling place will be set up. Those wishing to cast an absentee ballot may do so at the courthouse up to and including election day. Myers Township - The only issue on the ballot is the Spickard R-2 School District board election, which has three open positions and three candidates - Charles Holtzclaw, Roger Bonnett and Chelsea White. With only 14 voters from Myers Township living in the R-2 school district, no polling place will be open and all voters are invited to cast absentee ballots. Madison and Taylor Townships - The only item on the ballot will be the Trenton R-9 School Board election. Those who wish to cast ballots in the non-
existent race may do so at the Edinburg Baptist Church. Wilson Township - Voters will be asked to elect one of two candidates for Laredo mayor - Cassidy Russell and Carol Holloway. In addition, two persons - Helen Golden and Bruce McFie - are candidates for the two at-large Laredo aldermen positions. There are also two registered voters in the township who reside within the Meadville R-4 School District and who will be asked to elect three school board members from a list of six. On the ballot are Kristen Gunn, Michael Alan Moore, Jr., Sandra Johnson, Cody Smith, Diana K. Howe and Mason Kiehl. Voters will cast ballots at the Laredo Community Building. Marion Township - There are no issues on the ballot for voters in this township, who normally vote at Laredo. Franklin Township - The Spickard R-2 School Board election, which has three candidates for three positions, will be on the ballot. Those who wish to vote may do so at the Spickard R-2 School. Washington Township - This township has voters who reside within three different school districts Trenton R-9, Spickard R-2 and Princeton R-5 - with See Election, Page 3

R-5 Postpones Graduation Ceremony Graduation and salaries topped agendas for recent meetings of the Grundy R-5 and Newtown-Harris boards of education. Grundy R-5 Graduation ceremonies for the Grundy R-5 senior and eighth grade classes have been postponed, with the district looking at three possible dates later this summer. According to information provided by Superintendent Phil Fox, ceremonies will be held with the tentative dates of June 27, July 11 or Aug. 8 being considered. Details are to be determined in the near future. The senior trip has also been cancelled. During a meeting of the board of education on Thursday night, April 15, members set the tuition rate for next year at $6,375, which is an increase over the current rates of $5,750 charged
at the high school and $4,500 charged at the elementary school. The rates have not been raised in over 20 years. The new amount meets the state adequacy target as determined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The board voted to advertise for bids for diesel, propane, milk and bread products, with the bids to be opened at the May meeting. Also approved were several MCE policy updates as well as an agreement with the Princeton School District to provide mechanic services for the R-5 District buses at the rate of $4,000 per bus. R-5 has three buses and all have been transferred to Princeton for maintenance work. Several reports were heard by the board, including employee insurance enrollment, which is being done virtually until April 24. Over 60 students are

taking advantage of the lunch meals being provided by the school district while classes are not in session. Fox reported the Study Island computer program being used by the district while students has been a success and is helping provide additional educational instruction along with “paper and pencil” copies provided by the school. The board voted to participate in the LAUNCH program, which allows students to acquire high school credit using virtual instruction. The set-up cost will be $500. There was discussion regarding the vo-tech transportation and the sports cooperative agreement with NewtownHarris, with no action taken. Principal reports were also reviewed and approved. Following an executive session, the board voted to employ all non-certified
staff for the 2020-21 school year and accepted the resignation of speech implementor Shawna Tabbert. Extra duty contracts were approved for Bob Shipley, junior/senior class sponsor and quiz bowl; Dena Courtney, junior class sponsor; Jessica Webb, high school cheerleading; Cheyanne Martin, FFA; Amy Axtell, FBLA and yearbook; Lydia Shifflett, National Honor Society; Ethan Bunnell, junior and senior high track and athletic director; Dixon Munday, assistant junior and senior high track; Chelsie Jones, high school softball; Ty Stillwell, high school boys baseball (spring and fall) and junior high boys basketball; and Caleb Fairly, assistant high school boys baseball and junior high boys basketball.

With no discussion, the Trenton City Council on Friday afternoon unanimously approved a budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year, showing a deficit of $115,696. Approval comes just four days after the council rejected the initial budget, which showed expenditures outpacing revenues by just over $158,000. During a meeting of the finance committee on Wednesday, members cut an additional $19,942 from the expenditure side and, coupled with revenues of $22,380 that had not been included in the original budget, was able to reduce the deficit to the number finally approved by the council. The new budget shows revenues anticipated at $3,105,607 while expenditures are projected at $3,456,366. Additional revenues of $235,000 will be transfered into the budget from the road tax to get the deficit to $115,696. Should all numbers come in as projected, the city would have a fund balance of $1,625,976 as of April 30, 2021, which is the end of the 2020-21 fiscal year. The city will be starting the fiscal year with a fund balance of $1,741,672. The council is anticipating sales tax revenues to remain flat, with $760,000 budgeted for next year. With businesses closing or reducing their hours of operation due to the COVID-19 virus, several council members have expressed concerns about projecting an amount at that rate. Among other large revenue amounts listed in the budget are $489,000 in ad valorem (property) taxes as well as $220,000 in utility franchise taxes and $380,000 in PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) charges. As part of the budget expenditures, hourly employees will be receiving a 75-cent per hour raise while increment increases will also be given in the police, fire and street departments based on completion of certain certification and/or schooling. Salaried employees are receiving a $1,560 increase. City Administrator Ron Urton will be receiving a salary of $87,080, with half of that amount being paid by Trenton Municipal Utilities for Urton’s role as the TMU director. City Clerk Cindy Simpson will receive $52,801 while Police Chief Rex Ross’ salary was set at $55,215. Fire Chief Brandon Gibler will be paid $47,768, Street Department Supervisor Gary Dryer will be paid $49,560 and Code Enforcement Officer Wes Barone will be paid $40,269. See Budget, Page 3

quarterback Patrick Mahomes at No. 10 overall. Veach took over as GM shortly after the draft, so this could be his first chance to make a selection on Day 1. If that happens, look for the Chiefs to target the defensive backfield. They brought back Breeland and signed free agent Antonio Hamilton, but they also lost Kendall Fuller and Morris Claiborne and could use some depth. Noah Igbinoghene from Auburn and Jeff Gladney of TCU are two options that could be available at the end of the first round. The Chiefs also could benefit from the fact that few other teams need a running back, meaning elite talents such as Georgia's D'Andre Swift and Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor could be there for the taking on that Thursday night. COST-CONTROLLED HELP Regardless whether the Chiefs pick in the first round, their four remaining selections will be crucial. They are about to give Mahomes a potentially record-setting contract, and they have a lot of money invested in Clark, Watkins and safety Tyrann Mathieu. They must add starting-caliber players on rookie contracts to keep their salary cap in check. If the Chiefs did not pick a defensive back in Round 1, the second and third rounds could be the time to grab a player such as Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall. The Chiefs could also target depth at wide receiver and on the offensive line. WHAT ABOUT D The Chiefs value surrounding Mahomes with talent, which is why they are constantly seeking playmakers at the skill positions. But their defense, which was vastly improved under first-year Chiefs coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, will have to replace tackle Xavier Williams, linebacker Reggie Ragland and defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah. They also lost safety Jordan Lucas, but they hope Juan Thornhill will be recovered from a torn ACL to replace him. LATE-ROUND LOVE The Chiefs found a role player in cornerback Rashad Fenton in the sixth round a year ago, but otherwise, picks after the third round the past three seasons have been underwhelming. With only five selections during the three-day draft, Veach and his scouting department are under pressure to deliver in the fourth and fifth rounds.

be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 14 at the high school. Newtown-Harris The Newtown-Harris Board of Education approved salary increases during a meeting on Tuesday, April 14. According to information provided by Superintendent Lucas McKinnis, the board voted to rehire all classified staff and approved a 2 percent salary increase for those individuals. Teachers will be allowed to move one step on the salary schedule for years of service with no increase in the base pay. The board hired two teachers for the 2020-21 school year. Madeline Barone will be the music/band instructor and Mui Myers will teach first and second grade. The board approved using LAUNCH as the virtual provider for student course work at a cost of $500 for the initial set-up fee. The district will then pay for the service based on the number of students using the provider. It was voted to reduce spending for professional development by one-half of 1
percent. Miller Construction was hired for repairs to gutters at the elementary school at a cost of around $3,600. There was discussion regarding vo-tech plans, the sports cooperative agreement with the Grundy R-5 School District and senior activities, including graduation, prom and senior trip, with no action taken. McKinnis reported plant sales will begin on April 20 at the school through the ag department and that the highway patrol has suspended bus inspections. June 2 has been set as the tentative reschedule date for ACT testing.

It was late Saturday afternoon before a semi-truck hauling a section of windmill tower that had overturned earlier in the day at Princeton could be uprighted. The accident occurred on Saturday morning at the intersection of highways 65 and 136 on the south end of Princeton. According to a spokesperson for the Mercer County Fire Protection District, the semi tipped on its side after going off onto a soft shoulder area. No one was reported injured in the accident, which took several wreckers to help upright the vehicle and its load. Local and area emergency personnel were called in to assist with the accident scene.

Coronavirus Accelerates Decline Of Slumping Coal Industry CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Travis Deti has been working the phones to try to get government support for the U.S. coal industry during the coronavirus pandemic. Between recent calls, the head of the Wyoming Mining Association tried to unclog a sink at home. But unlike Deti’s sink, which eventually started flowing again with help from a plumber, aid remains stubbornly clogged for an industry whose already rapid decline is accelerating because of the economic effects of the virus. “We’d take anything right now,” said Deti, whose group represents companies that produce about 40% of the nation’s coal. Coal demand has tanked over the past decade amid competition from cheap natural gas and expanded renewable energy sources. Coal companies have faced a reckoning as the world looks to combat climate change and move away from fossil fuels despite President Donald Trump's effort to revive the industry. Now, the pandemic has made things worse. Lockdowns have shut off lights and computers in offices and schools, sapping demand for electricity provided by coalfired power plants. Americans
stuck at home binge-watching Netflix aren’t coming close to making up for that drop in demand, expected to be 3% for 2020. The safety of workers is another issue. In the most productive coal region in the U.S. — Wyoming and Montana’s Powder River Basin — companies are staggering shifts and running more buses to and from mining towns to create more space between workers. Companies have temporarily suspended operations at mines in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Virginia to stop the spread of the virus. Some miners are only working two or three days a week. “There is no consistency from mine to mine, even within the same company,” said Phil Smith, spokesman for the United Mine Workers of America, a union representing thousands of coal miners primarily in the eastern U.S. Even before the virus, companies were forced into bankruptcy and workers faced furloughs and layoffs. Six of the top seven U.S. coal companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy since 2015 and analysts expect more as the economy dives. There are bright spots, however. The worldwide decline in electricity consumption, along
with less fuel being burned for transportation, has meant clearer skies. Particulate pollution is down almost 19% in India and 6% in China since before the outbreak, according to Fiona Burlig with the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute. The decrease in the U.S. is a modest 0.5%. The U.S. is expected to see a 7.5% drop in climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions tied to reduced production — that is until carbon dioxide emissions surge next year as the economy rebounds, according to projections by the Energy Information Administration. But there is little doubt of the crushing effect of the virus's economic fallout on coal. In January, before the pandemic took hold in the U.S., coal production was forecast to drop 14% this year. With the coronavirus and a mild winter that meant less electricity needed to heat homes and businesses, that drop is now expected to be as much as 25% — falling to levels not seen in 55 years. “It will simply be that renewables and gas will keep their market, and coal, being the more expensive fuel, is going to get pushed out even more than it would,” said Seth Feaster of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. St. Louis-based coal company Foresight Energy, which employs 800 people, may be the industry's first coronavirusrelated casualty. It filed for

federal bankruptcy protection in March, citing in part “a slowdown in the global economy due to concerns over the coronavirus.” The National Mining Association last month asked Congress and the White House for $822 million in federal assistance by reducing or eliminating royalties, taxes and fees. “If we can stay operating, that’s the big thing for us," said Deti of the Wyoming group. Congress has shown little willingness so far to help, and none of the industry’s requests were included in the $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill. Analysts doubt any significant aid will come. “Typically, when you think about industries that the government has protected, it’s large, strategically vital industries,” said Benjamin Nelson, a senior credit officer with Moody’s Investors Service. “So, in an industry that’s in a steep, secular decline, I think there’s less incentive to get involved.” One U.S. lawmaker from a coal state, Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, said mining companies could apply for relief but that there are bigger challenges for the economy than propping up coal corporations. The priority should be small businesses, he said. “They are the ones that, quite frankly, we need to make sure are able to survive through this,” Tester said. Even if the industry gets what it wants, the boost would be only temporary and leave the same fundamental problem: a lack of demand, said Feaster of the energy economics institute. “Both royalty relief and tax relief depend on your ability to produce or make a profit,” Feaster said. “If there’s no demand and nobody wants to buy, that doesn’t really help you.”

Doctors Call For More Ventilators Amid Growing Uncertainty Over Coronavirus
HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov
GETTING MISSOURI BACK TO WORK From my perspective, the past month has been an unprecedented time in our state’s history. Even if you take into account any of the wars that have disrupted life in this nation’s history, or the influenza pandemic of 1918, I believe the actions taken and the results seen are different than what we are going through right now, and we are still not yet in the clear. To this end, the Missouri General Assembly has been away from the Capitol for nearly a month, until last week, when lawmakers came back to the Capitol to work on items meant to get past this current pandemic and its economic consequences. The Legislature worked tirelessly to fast-track major changes to the supplemental budget for the current fiscal year. We still do not have all of the details about the federal government’s stimulus bill, known as the CARES Act, but we hope to have more information in the next week or so. House Bill 2014 authorizes additional funding for essential services through June 30, which is the end of Fiscal Year 2020. On April 7, the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee spent hours going through these changes, line by line. The following day, the full Senate passed the bill and sent it back to the Missouri House of Representatives for approval. All told, the supplemental budget authorizes more than $6 billion in spending, the vast majority of that money coming from the federal government. It is still unclear exactly
how much money we will draw from Washington, D.C., but the legislation we approved gives the governor the flexibility to respond to the COVID-19 crisis as it develops. We also passed House Bill 2456, which is the federal reimbursement allowance extension we have to pass each year; otherwise, those benefits would not reach hospitals after Sept. 30 of this year. With the governor’s signature, this program would be extended through September 2021. I believe this program is more critical than ever as hospitals struggle to meet the regular needs of our citizens, at the same time they are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. What the Legislature does from here remains to be seen. My main concern right now is to get people healthy and move past this pandemic. We only have a month left in the 2020 legislative session, and we still need to pass a budget for Fiscal Year 2021. While so many people want to return to work and get back to their lives, I believe we must use caution and listen to our country’s health care experts. These are certainly trying times, but we can overcome them by doing our part and working together. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

BRENTWOOD, Mo. (AP) — In late March, amid growing uncertainty about the coronavirus spreading, doctors at Barnes-Jewish Hospital were concerned about the possibility of running out of ventilators, machines that force enriched air into the lungs so people can breathe. Grim stories were coming out of Italy and New York about decisions being made when faced with depleted equipment. Prodded by President Donald Trump, some automotive manufacturers changed their production lines to build thousands of ventilators in the United States. But major deliveries aren’t expected to show up at loading docks for months. Doctors at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Washington University School of Medicine wanted to explore more immediate options to meet the local surge of COVID-19 patients. And they wanted options that didn’t rely on the overburdened supply chain. On March 23, a formal push was made for emergency ventilators designed and built by experts in the St. Louis region who had ready access to parts. An eclectic team of engineers, scientists, doctors and machinists answered the call to action and delivered their first prototype for clinical simulation on April 8, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Finishing touches on three more were underway April 10, with the promise that another 100 could be made soon, if needed. The small team is working together for the first time. Powered by a cumulative pile of advanced degrees and willingness to help, the group has a lot of street cred, perhaps best illustrated by Dennis Mell’s thumb, which was shortened a long time ago by a milling machine. “I was happy that somebody tracked me down,� said Mell, in charge of automating the new ventilators. “My first thought was there is a lot of complexity, so I hope we have a good team. And hopefully it’s inexpensive enough so we can help more people. I’ve always told people that it doesn’t
do any good to design an artificial heart if it costs $100 million or some number that is unachievable.� Mell grew up working on dairy farms in the Farmington area before studying electrical engineering at what is now Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. He went on to build cash register machines and their electronic components in Ithaca, New York, before returning to Missouri, where he and his wife, Ellen, started a machine shop in their garage in 1997. That shop grew into Custom Technologies, an engineering and manufacturing business here in a nondescript Brentwood industrial park. The small firm typically makes an assortment of products for other businesses, ranging from food packaging to medical devices to playground equipment, perhaps the most unusual being a blue plastic raccoon face that peeps out of a tree. Ellen is the chief executive of the family business. Dennis also spends time as a professor of practice at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University. Both in their 50s, they see themselves as part of the old guard of manufacturing. “As we have globalized so much, the concept of product design to full manufacturing, it’s not close to home anymore,� said Ellen. That they design and build under the same roof came in handy with the first emergency ventilator prototype, specifically being able to adapt the electronic controls to the ever changing mechanism. “It uses less energy than a coffeemaker,� said Dennis. Ventilators are like vehicles. There are really nice ones that cost about $50,000 and have lots of features, such as those in intensive care units that are good at keeping patients comfortable. Then there are emergency transport ventilators, the slimmed down versions used by first responders. The team’s first prototype was built with less than $2,000 in parts. It’s two feet tall and shaped like the rounded head of an alligator. At the base of what would be the brain,

there’s a piece of PVC pipe that holds and protects the main component of the machine — one self-inflating resuscitation bag. Resuscitation bags, which are in plentiful supply in St. Louis, are made of clear plastic and shaped like a small football. In a pinch, paramedics, respiratory therapists and anesthesiologists hand pump the bags to help keep people breathing. The team made a mechanism to squeeze the resuscitation bag like a hand. A coffee-mug-shaped motor, supplied by a New York state company, hooks up to linkage that pushes a plunger straight down against the resuscitation bag, which pushes air through a plastic tube that’s supposed to feed into a patient’s windpipe. As the plunger retracts, the bag fills up for another breath. There are three basic settings: volume, speed and the ratio of inhale to exhale. “We are not going to get to perfect,� said Jerry Halley, 62, who is overseeing the project. “We want to make sure we get to good enough, cheap enough and effective enough. When Ford and GM really ramp up, they will blow by us. We are trying to fill that middle gap. We can be nimble.� Halley’s regular job is chief engineer at Tech Manufacturing, a Wright City business that makes structural parts for fighter jets. Custom Technologies in Brentwood was handling the automation and software. The Instrument Machine Shop at the Washington University School of Medicine was doing most of the hardware and assembly. “We could build 10 next week easily,� Halley said. “It just depends on the feedback from clinicians.� Philip Bayly, chair of mechanical engineering and materials science at Washington University, who has a hand in the ventilator project, said there are similar efforts going on around the country. He said the prototype built in St. Louis is based on a design from the University of Minnesota, which is similar to another at MIT. The University of Illinois also has proposed a design.
www.re ppu ublican-times.com
“We are definitely not trying to reinvent the wheel,� said Bayly, 55. “We are making a slightly different version because of the people and the materials that we have available to us.� On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Broc Burke, a former aeronautical engineer who now teaches and practices cardiothoracic anesthesiology at Washington University, picked up the first prototype at Custom Technologies to begin clinical simulation. Dennis Mell introduced his wife, Ellen, as a physicist who earned advanced degrees in law and business, which come in handy for patents and manufacturing. “So you, too, lack sanity,� Burke, 44, said about her collection of degrees. “I find myself telling people, ‘Yeah, yeah, I am a lawyer, but I am nice,’� she said. “I don’t sue people.� They quickly got down to the basics of how the ventilator works. Burke saw a couple shortcomings. The possibility to overpressure the lungs and the inability to detect when patients try to take a breath on their own, which is necessary to wean them off ventilators. They agreed that pop off pressure valves and a separate loop in the controller could address those issues. “It’s all doable,� said Dennis. Burke was in good spirits. Based on recent projections for the area, the COVID-19 surge is supposed to peak the end of April. He said BJC is expected to have enough ventilators that are already approved by the FDA. But he liked the idea of having more options that could be quickly reproduced. He planned to thoroughly test the emergency ventilator version just in case the projections are wrong. “As an anesthesiologist, we always like to have about five layers of plans,� Burke said. They packed up the prototype and put it in the back of his SUV. It fit into an open cardboard box that had this printed across the bottom: “Made in the U.S.A., St. Louis, Mo.�

Kansas, Missouri Manufacturers Face Hurdles Amid Virus WASHINGTON (AP) — When Mark Hess saw reports last month about a shortage of ventilators looming because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he went to a museum in Great Bend, Kansas, to check out its 1950s model of an iron lung, the mechanical respirator used to help polio victims breathe. With ventilators scarce, he saw it as a low-tech alternative for oxygenating patients and he developed a prototype of an iron lung he would like to sell to rural Kansas hospitals that lack intensive care units. His Hays-based company, Hess Services, Inc., normally manufactures storage tanks and other equipment for the oil industry. Hess has climbed inside the pressurized cylinder to test it on himself. But as a non-medical manufacturer, he’s having trouble getting authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. “I’ve put in 15 hours a day for the last four days on this and I’m not getting any closer,â€? Hess told The Kansas City Star on a recent Thursday after two weeks of seeking emergency approval. “It’s frustrating from our level ‌ Yeah, they’ll let you do this in an emergency, but here’s your 10 tiers bureaucracy,â€? Hess said. “It’s the whole government on this ‘cover your ass’ mentality.â€? Manufacturers in Kansas and Missouri say they’re ready
to respond to the pandemic by converting their plants to meet the surging demand for protective face masks, hospital gowns, ventilators and other items. But many are running into hurdles caused by federal bureaucracy, an unfamiliarity with the medical supply business or a lack a capital. Dentec Safety Specialists, a company with a factory in Lenexa, already produces reusable protective masks for shipbuilding and other industries. Under a previous owner, the factory made the disposable masks that hospitals and first responders now desperately need. But in 2008 a flood of low-cost medical supplies from China forced the company out of the market. In January, Dentec began contacting the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kansas congressional offices about securing a federal grant to resume producing the N95 masks. “We started this process contacting the federal agencies back in late January because we could see what was going to take place back then,â€? said Mike Bolden, the company’s vice president of sales. “We knew the Chinese were going to cut us off‌ We could see that coming and indeed it did.â€?
Bolden said the company discovered that no such federal grant existed. It means that Dentec has the expertise, but no capital to adjust its operation to make the N95 masks that are in high demand. “It’s just funding to be able to do what we need to do in order to tool up,� Bolden said. Bolden said the company still receives emails from the congressional offices, but it can no longer get a response from the federal agencies. Rep. Sharice Davids, DKansas, one of the lawmakers Dentec contacted, said President Donald Trump needs to more fully utilize the Defense Production Act, the Cold Warera law that enables the president to order private sector production of necessary goods. Trump has used the act to compel General Motors to produce ventilators and to stop 3M from exporting protective masks overseas. But he’s resisted calls from Democrats to apply the law more aggressively. Davids said Congress should take its own steps with the next coronavirus relief bill to provide more pathways for companies seeking to make COVID-19-related supplies. “I definitely think there needs to be stronger systems in place to allow companies like Dentec to produce supplies,� Davids said. “We’re seeing a lot of people and companies in our community stepping up and the thing we need to do is making sure they have the resources available to help.� A proposal from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, would expand liability protections for companies engaged in emergency medical production for the federal government. The legislation would also provide subsidies for U.S. firms mak-
ing medical goods in an effort to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign imports. “When the government asks producers to expedite the production of emergency equipment, they shouldn’t have to worry about trial lawyers and navigating red tape while they are rushing to put out fires,� said Hawley’s spokeswoman Kelli Ford. “They should simply be able to answer the call.� Sen. Jerry Moran, RKansas, addressed the hurdles manufacturers face during a phone conference with University of Kansas Health System officials. “Every day that goes by we’re working with manufacturers and others to get them to put gowns and gloves into the hands of people who need it,� Moran said. Moran wrote a letter to the FDA earlier this month asking about steps it has taken to expedite its review process and whether it needs additional resources from Congress to speed up approval. The letter noted Kansas’ “dangerously low� supply of protective equipment. In the phone call, Moran said he’s pushing for the FDA to eliminate bureaucracy without reducing standards on products made in the U.S. or imported. Dana Hawkinson, medical director for Infection Prevention and Control for the KU Health System, stressed that as companies begin producing new protective equipment and coronavirus tests to fill national shortages, it’s important to verify their efficacy and safety. “This is going on in all aspects of health care whether it’s PPE or testing,� he said. The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA, did not re-
spond for a request for comment. Moran’s spokesman told The Star that the agency had acknowledged the letter and had offered to set up a phone call soon between the senator and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn. Hahn said at a recent White House briefing that the agency has approved two companies to build machines to sterilize N95 masks. The U.S. government will purchase 60 machines, each capable of sterilizing 80,000 masks per day. Hahn also said that the FDA has issued a guidance to manufacturers to allow them to make hospital gowns with “no further regulatory red tapeâ€? so the gowns can go into circulation immediately. At least one area firm found a way to navigate around the government red tape. The Trabon Group, a Kansas City company that primarily prints menus for restaurants, has been able to enter the protective equipment market without facing FDA’s regulatory hurdles. After laying off or furloughing the bulk of its workforce in March because of the pandemic’s impact on the restaurant industry, the company began using its printing equipment to produce face shields. It started by connecting with local hospitals for which it had previously made brochures. The firm was able to bring back 72 furloughed workers and is now producing 8,000 face shields a day for hospitals in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Texas. “Hospitals that we’ve been working with have not asked for FDA approval ‌ That does not seem to be an issue at the moment because of the dire need,â€? said Tony Trabon, the company’s vice president. “We had nurses reaching out that they were performing Csections without face shields ‌ We’re not hearing any barriers at all. Everything we’re
hearing is, ‘How soon can you get it to us?’� The company has been in weekly contact with Missouri Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s office, but it has had little luck connecting with the rest of the state’s congressional delegation. Trabon said the company was hoping that lawmakers would be able to steer it toward areas with the highest need. “Reaching out directly to hospitals has proven way more effective than reaching out to politicians,� Trabon said. Other companies in the region are developing new products intended to help fill the gap of protective equipment. American Dish Service, a company which manufactures warewashing equipment based in Edwardsville, Kansas, has built a prototype of a 60 x 36 inch machine that cleans personal protective equipment with ultraviolet light based on a technique developed by the University of Nebraska Medical Center. “We can definitely develop it on a larger scale,� said Sonya Gossard, the company’s director of sales. Gossard said American Dish Service could produce between six to eight of the machines a day to sell to police and fire departments grappling with the national shortage of protective masks. Gossard got the idea after watching a television report about the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office repurposing its crime lab’s ultraviolet lights to clean equipment. Two designers, Dan Eber and Spencer Fritz, developed the prototype. A team from the crime lab has conducted a test of the efficacy of American Dish Service’s prototype and the company will determine its next steps based on the results. But even if the test is successful, it may not start producing machines. Gossard said legal counsel has advised the company to proceed slowly.

many red flags. My parents may be elderly, but they are both mentally sharp. These scammers are pros and have an answer for everything. They prey on the grandparent's love and concern for their grandchild. My dad was told he would receive a certified check in the mail reimbursing him all of the money after their grandchild was released from jail. He even followed up with them on where the package was in transit, calling them several times over a two-day period, always reminding them that they must not discuss this with anyone. I have reported this matter to the FTC and the FBI, but I am aware that my parent's money is gone forever. I just want to get this information out to the elderly and also to their friends and family. I do not want to see another person scammed and lose their money to these evil people. You may think your parents would never fall for something this devious, but I thought that, too. My parents are so embarrassed and ashamed that they fell for this scam. I'm sad that they didn't contact someone for
Dear Annie: As a public service, please make your readers aware of the grandparents phone scam. My elderly parents were victims of this scam. Someone called them claiming to be a narcotics detective and told them their grandchild had been arrested and they needed to send bail money in order to have her released from jail. He said they must not discuss this with anyone, even the family. They put a girl on the phone claiming to be their grandchild. She was crying hysterically in order to disguise her voice. She begged them not to tell her parents or anyone else. My parents were given specific directions on getting the money, how to pack it and send it. The scammer requested $22,000 in cash in $100 bills. He said time was of the essence and if they didn't follow his directions or if they told anyone, their grandchild could be facing a long jail sentence. Unfortunately, my parents fell for this scam and sent $22,000 in cash to a residential address in Florida. I am shocked that my parents fell for this scam, as there were so

advice, but he was just so convincing. -- Sad Daughter Dear Sad Daughter: I am so sorry that your parents had to go through that. Shame on whoever stole from them -- and probably many other desperate, loving grandparents. Thank you for alerting others to the problem. I'm hoping that your letter helps save others. Dear Readers: Here are some fun tips to make the most out of your days in quarantine. • Start a gratitude journal. It can be as small as writing one thing you are grateful for every day. • Call a family member or friend to check in on them. This will make both of you feel good. It's a win/win. • Move your body. Create a workout space inside or maybe on a patio or in your backyard. Take all precautions listed by the White House, if you venture outdoors. • Work on hobbies, crafts or art. Do something that makes you happy. It can be playing an instrument, sewing, gardening, writing, painting or anything else that allows for creative expression. • Lastly, take time to breathe. There are many great breathing exercises online. One of my personal favorites is from James Gordon. Another is the Buteyko breathing method.

2020 world outlook
This year will be the world economy’s worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s, the International Monetary Fund says, due to the effects of the spreading viral pandemic. The IMF expects the global economy to shrink 3% this year before rebounding in 2021 with 5.8% growth. The prospect for a rebound next year remains uncertain, however. “The world has been put in a great lockdown,’’ the IMF’s chief economist, Gita Gopinath, told reporters. “This is a crisis like no other.”
According to the IMF’s latest projections, economies will shrink 5.9% in the United States, 7.5% in the 19 euro zone countries, 5.2% in Japan and 6.5% in the United Kingdom. China, where the pandemic originated, is expected to eke out 1.2% growth this year. The world’s secondbiggest economy began to reverse its lockdown well before other countries. Worldwide trade will plummet 11% this year, the IMF predicts, and then grow 8.4% in 2021.

Still No COVID-19 Cases In Grundy County As of Sunday, April 19, Grundy County still has no confirmed cases of COVID19. According to information provided by the Grundy County Health Department, Mercer, Sullivan and Putnam counties, which are in the same reporting region as Grundy County, have no reported cases as well. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reports there are 5,667 positive cases of COVID-19 in Missouri and 176 Missourians have died. The state continues to be on a Stay Home order through May 3 with Gov. Mike Parson having outlined the necessary steps to move the state toward recovery. The statewide plan will rely on public health data, increased availability of testing, adequate supplies of personal protective equipment and continued isolation and quarantine using alternate care sites, if necessary. The Grundy County Health Department reminds all county residents to adhere to the
statewide Stay Home order and continue practicing good handwashing and cough etiquette. Masks should be worn in public places like grocery and other retail stores where social distancing is difficult to maintain. The symptoms of COVID19 are cough, fever and shortness of breath. Persons who have symptoms or believe they have been exposed should remain at home except to seek medical care. Persons should call ahead before seeing a doctor. The health department is not testing for COVID-19. A statewide public hotline to handle citizen questions about COVID-19 has been established. The hotline is being operated by medical professionals and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hotline number is 877-435-8411. Individuals or organizations may also sign up for local email updates at the GCHD website, www.GrundyCountyHealth.org.
