when determining the initial cost estimations. This included structure safety concerns, electric conduit corrosion and the inability to keep items from going into the sewer system and into sludge that is eventually being spread on farmland. Barnard said the firm should have done a better job in their initial review of the project. Councilman Brad Chumbley said that the headworks “were in bad shape” and that costs were going to continue to increase the longer the city put off doing the work. “The $900,000 more that we are going to spend now is going to look pretty cheap when you look at what it might cost down the road,” he said. “We can do this now or pay a lot more money later.” Councilwoman Cathie Smith said the city could also face financial consequences in the way of fines from both the Department of Natural Resources and EPA if the work is not done. It was noted that Charlie Zitnik of DA Davidson, who has assisted the city with financing utility projects in the past, is to meet with city officials to discuss financing options for the work. It was the general concensus that at least $1 million to pay for the project would come from the

wastewater capital fund. Combining the cost with other wastewater project payments already being made was also discussed. The council approved a bid from Perkins and Sons to abate and demolish three structures as part of the 17th Street bridge replacement project. The bid of $75,000 was the lowest of three received. The Missouri Department of Transportation will need to give final approval before work can proceed as MoDOT is providing part of the funding. A bid from R/S Electric of St. Joseph to provide technical assistance in operating the city’s SCADA system was approved by a 7-1 vote, with Glen Briggs voting no. Two bids were received with the second bidder, ProCircuit of Kansas City, being the secondary provider. On an 8-0 vote, the council approved two ordinances that officially put into place contracts the council had earlier approved. They included a five-year contract with Rapid Removal for residential solid waste collection services and a contract with M&M Utilities of Chillicothe for the Normal Street sewer rehabilitation proj-

Projected Needs Addressed
The North Central Missouri College campus of the future took a first step toward reality on Tuesday evening as college trustees were presented with a five-phase conceptual plan for campus development. Jeremy Proctor of Ellison-Auxier Architects of St. Joseph presented the plan to trustees during their regular meeting held on campus. The first phase of the plan would include a new 92-bed residence hall and parking lots while the second phase would include the demolition of the Main Street buildings and their replacement by a structure that would house a commons/dining/bookstore. The new dining facility would allow for the demolition of Selby Residence Hall, which currently contains the campus dining hall. Phase Three would involve the demolition of Ellsworth Residence Hall and the construction of another new residence hall. An addition to the Ketcham Community Center would be the focus of Phase Four, with the addition to include auxiliary gyms, flex practice areas and possibly new dressing rooms. The fifth

Work Will Move Forward
Headworks Project Costs More Than Original Estimate Despite a nearly $1 million increase in costs to construct the headworks at the city’s wastewater treatment plant, members of the Trenton City Council on Monday night voted to proceed with the project. On a vote of 8-0, the council gave the Burns and McDonnell engineering firm the go-ahead to finalize the design-build work which will be done as part of improvements being made at the plant to meet state-mandated effluent treatment requirements. How to finance the $3.981 million cost has yet to be decided, although members discussed several options to be reviewed. The council reiterated that there would be no sewer rate increases at least through 2021. Jeff Barnard and Anthony Mravunac of Burns and McDonnell met with the council to discuss the project, explaining why costs had risen so much since the council originally decided over a year ago to do the headworks project and asked the firm to move forward with the design. The cost had originally been estimated at around $3 million, however, Barnard, who is serving as project manager, said engineers found several issues with the existing headworks that had not been taken into consideration

phase would include the demolition of the Frey Administrative Building and Alexander Student Center and the construction of a new administrative/student services building. Proctor estimated each phase to cost around $5 to 6 million at today’s cost, although he noted there are many factors that would affect the cost. While there is no timetable in place for the project at this time, trustees discussed the need to move forward with construction of new residence halls as there is a waiting list for rooms every fall semester. NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver said he would like to have a new residence hall in place for the beginning of the Fall 2020 semester, something everyone agreed would be a very aggressive timeline. Proctor, who indicated there had not been a decision as to where the new residence hall might be located, said this is a really good time to bid such a project as there are not many projects available for contractors right now. As for the cost, Dr. Klaver said there would definitely have to be

Trenton Bulldogs 5, Kirksville Tigers 4
Trenton Bulldogs 9, Lafayette Irish 0
Tennis Team Still Undefeated The Trenton High School tennis team endured the biggest threat to its undefeated record on Monday, escaping with a 5-4 home victory over the Kirksville Tigers. Trenton followed that victory with a 9-0 drubbing of Lafayette on Tuesday at home. vs. KIRKSVILLE Trenton had its hands full with Kirksville, falling behind 2-1 after doubles play for just the second time in seven duals. Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott combined for an 8-1 win, but Nick Shields and Creed Houghton were defeated 85 and Isaac Harris and Jonin Villacampa fell 8-4. As was the case the only other time Trenton faced adversity through doubles play, the Bulldogs bounced back in singles play with the top of the lineup dominating their matches. Shields was an 8-3 winner at number one while Swann won his number-two match 8-0. Houghton and Elliott each won 8-3 at number three and four, respectively, to
seal the dual victory for Trenton and keep the Bulldogs undefeated. Harris and Weston Otto were each defeated 8-5 to close out singles play and pull the visitors within a single match in the final score. “This was an extremely close dual with Kirksville and I don’t expect anything less from our Highway 6 rivals,� Trenton Coach David Sager said. “We will see them again next week on the road, so I look forward to another close dual that could go either way for both teams. “This was a great team win for our program and the dual came down to us needing just one win out of our last two matches on the courts. Houghton played a great singles match to secure the team victory.� vs. LAFAYETTE Trenton dominated Lafayette, not only winning every match, but doing so by outscoring the visitors by a combined score of 72-4. Trenton saw Shields and

Houghton and Swann and Elliott each net 8-0 doubles victories and Weston Otto and Jonin Villacampa combined for an 8-3 win, which would be the closest match of the dual. In singles action, Shields, Swann, Houghton, Elliott and Otto all won by 8-0 margins. Harris rounded out the sweep with an 8-1 victory. “It was a very dominant win for our team,� Sager said “After playing a very close dual the day before, I’m very proud of how the boys mental game was on point. It was a very nice win for our boys.� With the pair of wins early in the week, Trenton improved to 80 overall on the season. The Bulldogs returned to the courts on Thursday, traveling to Lexington for a dual. Trenton will also see action on Monday, traveling to Kirksville for a re-match with the Tigers. Senior Day will be on Tuesday, April 30 at the THS courts.
St. Joseph Christian Lions 13, Trenton Bulldogs 3 - 6 Innings
Things Go Awry For Bulldogs In 4th When Sam Schilling crossed the plate for the Trenton High School baseball team’s third run of the day on Monday, the Bulldogs were in business. Facing St. Joseph Christian on the road, Trenton had trailed 4-0 entering the top of the third inning. Schilling’s run was the last in a three-run third for Trenton - one that pulled the Bulldogs to within a single run. The momentum wouldn’t last. A six-run fourth for St. Joseph took Trenton out of the game as the Bulldogs faded, suffering a 13-3 Grand River Conference loss - their fourthstraight defeat. “We just need to continue to play,� Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. “When we make a mistake we just need to not make that same mistake again.� Schilling took the hill to start the game for Trenton and, after yielding three runs in the opening frame, collared the St. Joseph offense in the second and third, allowing just one

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD
Nick Sloop Relays
Trenton Runs Second In Lawson The Trenton High School track and field teams nearly outran everyone at the Nick Sloop Relays on Monday, but the host Lawson Cardinals evaded the Bulldogs in both the girls and boys standings. Lawson tallied 174 points to hold off the Trenton girls’ total of 160 and the Lawson boys netted 172 points to win their title handily as Trenton’s boys came in second with 115 points. The pair of runner-up finishes for Trenton came in spite of the Bulldogs sweeping the Lawson Greenshoe Awards, given to the individual high-point finishers at the meet. Kristi Ewing won the girls Greenshoe with 38 points and her brother Brian Ewing took home the boys award, also scoring 38 points “They are just phenomenal athletes and we are very, very fortunate to have them in our program,� Trenton boys Coach Lysander Overstreet said. I’m looking forward to seeing more out of them down the way.� The brother-sister duo from Trenton reached their point totals competing in the same four events. Kristi Ewing took gold in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.72 and the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:01.18. She also won the long jump, an event she competed in for the first time all season, with a jump of 15-11. The lone event she did not win was the 200-meter dash, where she finished runner-up to her teammate Lexi Whitaker. Whitaker broke the tape with a time of 26.6 while Ewing was second with a time of 26.87. On the boys side, Brian Ewing took gold in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.91, the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.09 and the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.82. Ewing’s time in the 200 set a new school record. He was also second in the long jump with a mark of 19-5.5. “Brian is a special athlete,� Overstreet said. “He is a special kid and he has a tremendous amount of talent. I don’t think
we’ve fully tapped into all of the things that he can do. He broke the school’s 200meter record again, so he is on pace to do something really special this year.� TRENTON GIRLS Whitaker had an undefeated day, but split points with teammates in two relay events, keeping her out of the running for the Greenshoe Award. She would combine with Shay Westerhof, Lexi Gott and Chandler Lynch to win the 4x200-meter relay with a time of 1:52.81 and teamed with Lynch, McKayla Blackburn and Gott to win the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 4:22.9. Whitaker also won the 300meter hurdles with a time of 47.07, breaking her own school record set earlier this season. Salem Croy and Maci Moore added a lot of points for Trenton in the field and, like Ewing and Whitaker, each brought home gold medals from the event. Croy won the javelin with a throw of 110-9 and was first in the discus with a throw of 1010. She also added a fourth-place finish in the shot put with a mark of 30-6. Moore, meanwhile, won the shot put with a throw of 35-6 and was second in the high jump after clearing 5-10. Lawson only placed the top six at the meet as the Cardinals, like Trenton, have just a six-lane track. Other placewinners for the Trenton girls included Sidney Lynch, third in the javelin with a throw of 104-4; Chandler Lynch, third in the 400meter dash with a time of 1:05.5; the 4x800-meter relay team of Gwyneth Foster, Gracyn Rongey, Morgan King and Blackburn, third; Mykah Hurley, fourth in the triple jump with a mark of 32-10.5 and fifth in the long jump with a leap of 14-9; Kendall Crowley, fourth in the discus with a throw of 96-10; the 4x100-meter relay team of Gott, Emma Curtis, Hurley and Westerhof, fourth with a time of 54.31; Katie Markell, fifth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 14:56.6; Foster, fifth in the

TWIN GOLFERS SIGN ON WITH NCMC The North Central Missouri College golf teams each landed a standout golfer from Cameron this week. The men’s team signed Trey Howell and the women’s team landed Kiersten Howell. The two are twin siblings set to graduate from Cameron High School in May and join the North Central squads this fall. NCMC men’s Coach Craig Sager’s connection to the Cameron area was instrumental in the recruiting effort. “Getting Trey is kind of coming full circle for me,� Sager said. “After moving back from the south, Cameron was my first head professional position in this area. I got to know Trey’s family during my time there and I know we are getting a tremendous person. Like most of the players that we bring in, Trey is a multisport athlete that knows how to work hard and receive instruction. He will bring a great attitude to the course and the classroom every day. I am ready to get him on campus and start working towards lower, more consistent scoring. He’s a great competitor, he’ll figure it out quickly.� NCMC women’s Coach Daniel Cordray is looking forward to his addition as well. “She will be a good representative for Lady Pirate golf the next two seasons,� Cordray said. “She has a good attitude on and off the course. Kiersten will be consistent with her scoring and I look for her to have a good upside on improving at the collegiate level.�
NCMC LANDS STANBERRY’S OSBORN The North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team recently signed Stanberry guard Lily Osborn - a major get for the Pirate program. Osborn was an all-state selection this past season and earned All-Grand River Conference and all-district honors in each of the past three seasons. Osborn led Stanberry to the Class 1 state championship game this past season and helped lift the Bulldogs to three-straight GRC West Division titles. Outside of basketball, she has been involved in FFA, National Honor Society and activities in the Stanberry community. “We are extremely excited to add Lily to our program,� NCMC women’s Head Coach Jenni Croy said. “We have watched her play over the past three years and have seen her develop into a dominant player on the court. She has the ability to score when needed and has a high basketball IQ. Lily will look to play a guard position for us and we know she will step in and make an immediate impact.� Osborn will enroll at NCMC in the fall.
VAN FAR GOLFER SIGNS WITH NCMC The North Central Missouri College men’s golf team has added Jayson Orr from Van Far High School. Orr placed 21st in the Class 1 state tournament as a junior and is currently completing his high school career. He will graduate in May. “Jayson is a great kid who will add a ton of character to our program,� NCMC men’s golf Coach Craig Sager said. “There are some things that he will need to tighten up to compete at this level, but he has all the raw tools you could ask for in a player. He plays a very loose style and can really lean on his putter when he gets in a bind. There will no doubt be a transition period, but I think he will settle in quickly and shorten the learning curve.� Orr will enroll at NCMC and join the Pirate golf program this fall.

Lexi broke the school record again in the 300 hurdles and the Ewing duo each won the high-point award at the meet. I was really pleased with our throwing, jumping and running.� TRENTON BOYS Behind Brian Ewing’s big day, Trenton got three more gold medals, two of which came from Matt Sibbit, who swept the hurdle events. Sibbit won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.06 and the 300meter hurdles with a time of 43.88.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Kansas City Chiefs
Johnson County DA Declines To Charge Hill OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A county prosecutor declined to charge Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill with a crime Wednesday in a domestic incident that involved his fiance and their 3-year-old child. Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe acknowledged that "we believe a crime has occurred, however, the evidence in this case does not conclusively establish who committed this crime." Police were called to the Kansas City-area home of Hill and Crystal Espinal twice last month, and investigators determined their child had been injured the second time. Howe said the child was placed in protective care and that there will be "a continued involvement by state officials." "I can't talk about the child, its placement or what is going on in that matter. What I can say is the child is safe," Howe said. "We want to hold people accountable that hurt children, but there are other mechanisms for us to protect that child other than filing criminal charges." The Chiefs issued a comment late Wednesday acknowledging the district attorney's decision but declining further comment, citing the ongoing investigation by the Department for Children and Families. Hill is a two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver with a history of domestic issues, including a case in which he was accused of punching Espinal while at
Oklahoma State. Hill was kicked off the football team there and landed at a small school in Alabama, where he became a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs. Hill has blossomed into one of the league's elite playmakers, and had largely stayed out of trouble until this past month, when authorities were called to his home twice in a nine-day span. "As a prosecutor, as a father of four, yes, it frustrates me when someone hurts a child and you can't do anything about it," said Howe, adding that the investigation took several additional weeks as he waited for police to conduct follow-up work. "One of the elements of a crime is you have to prove who that person is who committed the act." Howe said that it was ultimately impossible to determine who injured the child. The decision comes at an important juncture for the Chiefs, who are busy preparing for the start of the NFL draft on Thursday night. They released running back Kareem Hunt shortly after a video surfaced showing him pushing and kicking a woman in a hotel hallway, and that precedent made it likely the Chiefs would have made a similar decision had charges against Hill been filed. The Chiefs or the NFL could still punish Hill, and the receiver's long-term future in Kansas City remains in question. Hill is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
HIGH SCHOOL TRACK Bishop LeBlond Eagle Invitational
Trenton Girls Back On Top At Eagle Invitational Kristi Ewing didn’t win the 100-meter dash on Tuesday at the Eagle Invitational at Bishop LeBlond High School in St. Joseph. Lexi Whitaker didn’t win the 200-meter dash, or the 300-meter hurdles. But in spite of Trenton’s top point earners taking runner-up finishes in those events, the Bulldogs snapped a two-meet losing streak and collected 134 points to win the team title at LeBlond. The victory was the sixth for the Trenton girls in eight meets this season. “It was good, it was really great to see our girls get back on top,� Trenton girls’ Coach Chris Parks said. “Even though we’ve had success in the last two meets, it’s always great to see a win.� Ewing bounced back from her second-place showing in the 100-meter dash to win the 400-meter dash - one of four gold medals picked up by Trenton at the meet. Ewing won the 400 with a time of 1:01.69. Her runner-up finish in the 100 came with a time of 13.32. Ewing and Whitaker were both part of the 4x400-meter relay team, which picked up a gold medal in the final event of the meet. The duo teamed with Lexi Gott and McKayla Blackburn to win with a time of 4:13.46. Trenton’s 4x200-meter relay team of Whitaker, Ewing, Gott and Chandler Lynch fell to third place with a time of 1:51.86. Whitaker’s runner-up time in the 200meter dash was 27.24 while her second-place finish in the 300-meter hurdles came with a time of 48.34. Despite not getting gold in those three events and the 100-meter dash, Trenton got a pair of gold medals in the jumping events to help push Trenton’s point total to its mark of 134 - the Bulldogs’ fifth-highest total this season. Maci Moore won the triple jump with a mark of 32-6 and Mykah Hurley jumped 32-6 in that event as well to finish second after a tiebreaker was used. That gave Trenton 18 points in one single event. Hurley got her gold in the long jump, winning with a mark of 16-3. The Bulldogs doubleplaced in that event as Emma Curtis placed fifth with a leap of 15-8.5. “I was really proud of our long jumpers,� Parks said. “Both Mykah and Emma were outstanding. They had their personal bests in that event and it’s always good to see them keep improving. In the triple jump, to go one and two like that was big for us. Maci is very competitive for an underclassmen and then Mykah showed her senior leadership.� Moore added a secondplace finish in the high jump after clearing 4-10 and was also fourth in the shot put with a throw of 33-1. Salem Croy placed in three events, her highest finish coming in the javelin where she was third with a throw of 114-5. She added a fourth-place finish in
the discus with a throw of 950 and a sixth-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 29-6. Other individual placewinners included Shay Westerhof, fifth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 29.85; Evy McCullough, sixth in the 100meter hurdles with a time of 19.49; Katie Markell, sixth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 14:23.23 and eighth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:37.59; Gracyn Rongey, sixth in the 1,600meter run with a time of 6:24.46; Gwyneth Foster, seventh in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:42.42; Chandler Lynch, seventh in the 400meter dash with a time of 1:07.67; Kendall Crowley, seventh in the discus with a throw of 92-4; and Sidney Lynch, eighth in the javelin with a throw of 98-4. The 4x100-meter relay team of Hurley, Gott, Curtis and Westerhof was seventh with a time of 56.64 and the 4x800-meter relay team of Foster, Jenna Reeter, Rongey and Blackburn was seventh with a time of 11:18.77. Trenton’s 134 points bested runner-up West Platte’s total of 113. Lathrop was third with 91 points and St. Joseph Christian rounded out the top four with 72 points. There were 13 schools represented at the meet. TRENTON BOYS While the Trenton girls were runaway winners at the meet, the Trenton boys scraped together 73 points to place fourth behind champion Lathrop (164), runner-up West Platte (111.5) and third-place Hamilton (77). The Trenton boys won three gold medals and had a big day in the throwing events. Jadan Whitney was first in the shot put with a throw of 48-4.75 and Carson Burchett finished second in that event with a throw of 45-9. Trenton double-placed in the javelin as Nick Wattenbarger won the event with a throw of 141-9 and Dalton Burchett finished eighth with a mark of 111-7. In the discus, Whitney was third with a toss of 136-4 and Hunter Trask placed sixth with a mark of 118-9. In all, 38 of Trenton’s 73 points came from the three throwing events. Brian Ewing gave Trenton 19 points, winning the Bulldogs’ lone gold medal on the track in the 200-meter dash, where he finished with a time of 23.41. Ewing also placed second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.65 and was eighth in the long jump with a mark of 18-8. Matt Sibbit finished third in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.28 and Dylan Harris rounded out Trenton’s placewinners with a fourthplace showing in the high jump, after clearing 5-6, and a fourth-place finish in the triple jump with a mark of 38-7. Trenton’s track and field teams return to action today (Friday), traveling to the Putnam County Relays in Unionville.

OP/ED
The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
Congratulations Graham... Although he didn’t win the Cintas Corporation “Custodian of the Year” contest, Trenton High School custodian Graham McVay is still number one in my book. Graham was one of 10 individuals from throughout the United States who were nominated for the honor to recognize the “best of the best” in school custodians. Online voting took place during March and April (ending on April 20) and the Trenton R-9 School District was notified on Wednesday that McVay was not the overall winner of the competition. And Diane Lowrey while he didn’t win the top prize of $5,000, he will still be the recipient of a $500 check from the company. Cintas has yet to announce the actual winner of the contest. Graham has been a custodian in the R-9 District for 31 years and I know how beloved he is by all students and staff who have passed through the doors of THS for all those years. The best example is during graduation ceremonies, when one teacher and one staff member are selected by the class to congratulate the seniors immediately after they receive their diplomas. Graham is the only school employee to have been selected for that honor each year since the tradition was established several years ago. When it was first announced that Graham had been nominated for this award, media sites lit up with links to the Cintas website so that anyone whoever had a connection with Graham could cast a vote. It’s hard for me to imagine that there really was a custodian out there who could have received more votes than Graham. I’ve been lucky to know Graham as both a student at THS (Class of 1982) and as the custodian and friend I have seen him to be to all. He always has a smile on his face and a kind word to say about everyone with whom he comes into contact, no matter who they are. And he can probably give our sports editor a run for his money when it comes to remembering athletes and statistics involving THS sports teams. He’s a great example for the students who pass through the halls of Trenton High School and that is why he will always be number one with me. Congratulations Graham...

What Others Are Saying... Missouri’s Highway Needs
Eminent Domain
It's mildly encouraging to see Missouri legislators come to a compromise on a modest plan to deal with some of the state's neediest bridges.
The Missouri House overwhelmingly approved a bill Thursday prohibiting a private entity from condemning land for electricity transmission. The vote was bipartisan, and approving the measure was the right thing to do. The Missouri Senate should pass the bill, and the governor should sign it. The legislation seeks to block the use of eminent domain for the so-called Grain Belt Express, a transmission line for wind-generated electricity. The state's Public Service Commission recently said the Clean Line Energy company can condemn property for the towers it needs for the lines, which would take wind power from Kansas and send it to Missouri and other states. We strongly support wind energy. Wind provides more than one-third of the electric energy in Kansas, while it's less than 4% of Missouri's power supply. Increasing that number should be a goal in the state. But we agree with Missouri Republican leadership that allowing a company to condemn property for this purpose is wrong. Clean Line Energy should negotiate fair agreements with property owners for any towers it needs, and pay for the land accordingly. It should not use the threat of condemnation to browbeat property owners into accepting low-cost deals. Eminent domain gives government the right to take private property for public purposes. It's an enormous, dangerous power that must be used only sparingly, if at all. Missouri's bill of rights specifically acknowledges that danger. "Private property shall not be taken for private use with or without compensation, unless by consent of the owner," the state constitution says. Like most laws, however, there are loopholes. The state specifically allows private power companies and utilities to use eminent domain. It also allows the use of condemnation to seize "blighted" properties for private development projects. Kansas Citians know what this means: private property taken for private projects, such as the Power & Light District. Whatever you think of downtown development, taking property from one person and giving it to someone else is a troubling exercise in power, even when the original owner is paid for his or her loss. On Thursday, speaker after speaker on the Missouri House floor said they were worried not just about the Grain Belt project, but about eminent domain abuse across the state. "The overall use of eminent domain has greatly harmed black communities in St. Louis," tweeted state Rep. Maria Chappelle-Nadal. Kansas Citians can tell similar stories. The Hyperloop high-speed train project may require condemning hundreds of privately-owned acres in Missouri. Using eminent domain for that project should be a nonstarter. Republicans rallied in Jefferson City this week to force a discussion of this issue. Their efforts should be applauded. Eminent domain must always be the last resort for projects of major public benefit, not the first step in making rich companies richer. There is a way to bring the benefits of the Grain Belt Express project to Missouri. The company can approach landowners and offer enough money to rent or buy the land it needs. The heavy hand of government should stay out of it. — Kansas City Star
Guest Editorials But the bigger picture is that the General Assembly is in the final weeks of its 2019 session, and all legislators and the governor have come up with is a partial solution to part of the problem. Even the two competing ideas in play were themselves nothing more than BandAids, as Gov. Mike Parson said of his idea. Nothing has been done - there is no apparent serious movement - on the overall issue of adequate funding to maintain roads and bridges and expand the system where appropriate, let alone a 10-figure project such as the long overdue rebuilding of Interstate 70. Voters last fall said no to a rushed and poorly worded ballot question to raise the gas tax, and once again our leaders in Jefferson City had no Plan B. Yet the need grows day by day. What's on the table is a compromise that legislators have now agreed to. Parson wanted to issue bonds borrow money, that is - to immediately address about 250 bridges most in need of work. Legislators raised an understandable point: Borrowed money doesn't go as far thanks to interest. Still, the Legislature's policy has been to delay and defer, and that can't go on indefinitely. The governor's idea was imperfect but reasonable. A key legislator had a simpler but far shakier plan: Spend $100 million in general revenue in the next year, and do the same for another three years. That's new. The state hasn't dipped into general revenue for roads for a long time. Transportation money is earmarked for just that. But there's a huge catch. Look at the General Assembly's record. What if there's a hiccup in state revenues? What about the General Assembly's mood swings? That $100 million for years two, three and four is as solid as ether. So they compromised, though the deal hinges on federal money that hasn't been approved yet. Stay tuned. The House still has to act. In the messy way of things, one important project seems to have nudged legislators toward at least getting this much done. The I-70 bridge over the Missouri River near Rocheport is 60 years old and needs to be replaced, and the compromise includes that. It would cost less to get a few more years out of that bridge with significant repairs, but that would mean closing two lanes for months and then the other two lanes for months. The hours-long backup in traffic, even on normal days, is something many drivers would find unacceptable. That too is a cost. Think of two Kansas City examples: The long-term hassle of the recent repairs to the Buck O'Neill Bridge connecting downtown Kansas City to Platte County compared with the replacement a couple years ago of the I-70 bridge over the Manchester Trafficway area. We didn't lose I-70 for months and months. New parallel bridges went up even as traffic sailed by on the old ones. The second of those is the far better idea if leaders can find the money. Simply replacing the Rocheport bridge, a key choke point in the system, is far preferable - if the money comes through. — Independence Examiner

COMMUNITY Shakespeare Circle Holds Meeting
Dockery Chapel Terri Reid People gathered for worship on Easter morning, April 21 at the Dockery Chapel United Methodist Church, with the early service led by Lori Kiehl and Roya Cox led the music. Breakfast was served in the fellowship hall, followed by the 9:15 a.m. service. Kim Sampson, along with her granddaughters, were the candlelighters. The Praise Team led the singing. Stephanie Carriker gave the children's message about the significance of different colors in regard to Easter. Boyd Harrison
mentioned the joys and concerns of the community. Roya Cox sang the "Old Rugged Cross" as the offertory Hymn. After Lori delivered the message, the song "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" was sung by the congregation. An Easter egg hunt for the children immediately followed. After the morning worship service on Sunday, April 28, there will be a light lunch served, followed by the monthly board meeting. A carry-in meal will be held at 6 that evening to honor the graduates.
Shelburne Cathy Rice Maundy Thursday was observed with sharing of the Lord's Supper at the Shelburne Baptist Church. Dale Leeper sang a special. Several members went to the Rural Dale Baptist Church on Friday to sing in the Easter cantata, “The Witness.� On Sunday, Shelburne celebrated Easter Sunday at an almost sunrise service with everyone playing the bells followed by a breakfast, Sunday school and the worship service. On Saturday, Leslie Prothero and Angie from Armstrong came to visit with Karen Prothero and Cathy Rice. When stopping, the car decided to not restart. After several hours of working on the car, Justin (Rice) and Dean (Rice) came to the conclusion that it was time to send the car back to Armstrong and give a mechanic an opportunity to hammer on it a bit. We enjoyed dinner on Saturday with John and Margaret Rice of Trenton; their youngest daughter, Kara Smith and her son, Jason Smith of Manhattan, KS; and Mark Rice of Cary, NC. We hosted Easter dinner on Sunday with Justin and Heidi Rice, James and Ava and Heidi's parents, Jim and Larinda Paulson. Karen Prothero and Laura Prewitt attended an Easter egg hunt and
picnic on Monday for the Gifted Group at Moberly Park. We've heard about a few folks who have found morel mushrooms. We have not been those folks. We had one small mess last year so was hoping for a bountiful harvest this year. Can't believe I'm saying this, but we could use a shower. Several folks in our area and congregation have serious illnesses and each is being kept in our daily thoughts and prayers. And then the earth comes to its senses and we have the most wonderful spring weather; a tad windy but a ponytail corrects the imbalance of hair flinging into your face. For those of you with hair too short for a ponytail, sorry about that. Our house has jumped right into the spring frenzied wildness. We are meeting ourselves coming and going and enjoying every minute. I have had the privilege of driving the Tri-County track teams to several track meets. I've also been to a couple of baseball games. There have been a couple of times I wondered if I should have packed a sleeping bag and just stayed overnight. Those kids are troopers to be out late and then be back to school the next day with bells on. I tend to be less than pleasant the next day. No one seems to notice.

read in the fall and “Pericles� to be read in the spring. Members viewed the video of Act IV of the current play, then discussed the questions. Mary Jane Smith will be the leader for the next act when the circle meets on May 1. Members present were Sarah Dannar, Susan Engelman, Amy White, Mary Jane Smith, Terry Cobb and Carol Reger.
Garden Club Holds Meeting The Town and Country Garden Club met at the home of Barb Peterson, on Monday April 2. Eight members answered roll call by describing their favorite plant combinations to be grown in a container. Mrs. Peterson opened the meeting by reading humorous famous quotes. Annual dues of $5 will be collected at the next meeting on May 20. The location will be announced later. It was reported that the landscaping at the Grundy R-5 High School and Elementary schools has been cleaned and pruned for spring and new mulch put
down. Some replacement planting will need to be done soon. Beverly Kimberling presented the lesson on leaf mulch. She explained how she makes and uses it. Leaves are raked up in the fall, machineground and stored outside in bags until spring. The leaves are rotted down and ready to use. It is an easy, inexpensive way for persons to make their own mulch, which decomposes and adds vital nutrients to the soil. Mrs. Peterson gave a prayer before serving refreshments. Beverly Fields won the hostess gift.
Church Activities
Barbra Adams Hosts Meeting The Wesley Methodist Women met on April 11 in the Aldersgate Room of the Wesley United Methodist Church with 12 members present. Barbra Adams was the hostess.

Fieldwork Varies Across State Temperatures last week averaged 57.4 degrees, 0.4 degrees above normal. Precipitation averaged 0.93 inches statewide, 0.06 inches below normal. The southernmost parts of Missouri received above average rainfall and remained too wet for much fieldwork. There were 4.1 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending April 21. Topsoil moisture supply was rated 2 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 20 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supply was rated 1 percent short, 85 percent adequate and 14 percent surplus. Corn planted progressed to 16 percent this week, 2 percentage points ahead of last year but 17 percentage points behind the five-year average, while corn emerged progressed to 2 percent. Cotton planted progressed to 2 percent. Rice planted progressed to 23 percent, 12 percentage points behind the five-year average, while rice emerged progressed to 4 percent. Winter wheat headed progressed to 2 percent, the same as last year. Winter wheat condition was rated at 2 percent very poor, 9 percent poor, 46 percent fair, 37 percent good and 6 percent excellent.

NO BIG BOOM IN FARM OUTLOOK; TRADE NEEDED TO BOOST DEMAND Carryover stocks were mentioned often by speakers at the MU FAPRI farm outlook meeting last week. There’s lots of meat in the freezer and lots of corn and beans in the bin. Carryovers affect supply and demand for the coming year. But, problems aren’t all about too much. One of Scott Brown’s slides showed almost no carryover in forages. Hay sheds are empty. That hits cow herd owners from two directions. The MU Extension livestock economist asked: “What happens when you have more supply than people demand?� He asked that early. The loud response: “Prices go down.� He didn’t ask the reverse question about the hay supply slide. Farmers needing hay heard the asking prices of $100 a big bale. I don’t know if that price was paid. Here’s the economic principle: Cost-price squeeze can force you out of business. In dairy farming small herd owners must feel the squeeze. Those are folding. That’s happening not just in Missouri. The dairy states feel the trend. Part of the dairy-farm shift shown in the FAPRI slide shows growth in big dairies. I heard of more dairies with 9,000 cows.
There’s a new Ag Census just released. It should have been out a couple of months ago, but the government shutdown delayed release. I fear those numbers won’t tell much on recent dairy shifts. Collecting data from farmers isn’t easy and analyzing takes time. The numbers are from 2017. Hay shortage was talked in the first MU agronomy teleconference of the year. Craig Roberts, MU forage agronomist, explained possible recovery to regional specialists. At that time, hope lay in a spring flush of grass so cows could be turned out to pasture. Farmers short of hay last winter turned cows out before grass restarted full growth. That hurts production all year. Back then, Roberts was optimistic. Grass in my yard is in survival mode. What I see will be bad news for beef farmers. Prolonged cold spring slowed grass sending up long leaves. Grass growth is short. Before it restored leaves, my grass sent up seed heads. Grass plants sense another year like the last couple of years. To assure future generations, grass set seeds early. For beef herds grazing toxic tall fescue, that’s awful. Toxins
harming cattle many ways are strongest at seed set. Cattle shouldn’t graze stems and seeds. Already there was concern that cows fed too little grain and hay wouldn’t be in body condition to rebreed. Cows on toxic fescue have lower calf crops. A double whammy hits beef herd owners. Problems for beef herd owners grow faster than grass: Oversupply of beef lowers prices, lower rebreeding with fewer calves next season boosts concerns. Hidden away in the outlook presented by the MU Food and Agriculture Policy Research Institute were little signs of concerns. The recession word wasn’t mentioned, but in coffee-break talk I heard that word of concern. Our carryover stocks would be much lower if exports had continued to boom as they did before the U.S. was sent into an “easy-to-win trade war.� That wasn’t mentioned either. There was no talk of booming farm economy ahead. Maybe the economy will look bright in two months when ag bankers gather at MU to talk finances. Crops may be up and growing. Hay may be baled. By then our President may give up his obsession on “No Collusion� and turn to fixing trade he turned off. More exports of carryovers can still help. Trade talk requires more listening than talking. A narcissist has a hard time with that. Share your thoughts with duanedailey7@gmail.com.
First Show-Me-Select Sale Of Season Quality AI-bred Heifers In High Demand In the first sale of the season, 116 Show-Me-Select replacement bred heifers averaged $1,737 at Farmington Regional Stockyards. Top price was $2,300. “Buyers were cautious about bidding with grass just coming on,� said Kendra Graham, sale coordinator and regional livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. “However, quality AI-bred heifers are in high demand,� she said. All heifers meet rigid standards in management and genetics taught in the yearlong MU Extension educational program. The Farmington sale is the newest of four spring sales of fall-calving heifers. “The sale continues to draw new buyers and new consignors,� Graham said. “There are few programs that provide detailed health and breeding data.� A sale-day catalog gives information, including expected calving dates. With fixed-time AI, all heifers are bred on the same day. Calving times can be more accurately predicted. Repeat buyers like calvingease genetics and management, says Dave Patterson, MU Extension state beef reproduction specialist. Longtime consignors tend to gain higher average prices. More calves in the sales over time come from multi-
Rain Affects Nitrogen Application Extension Specialist Peter Scharf Offers Alternatives Most years, University of Missouri Extension nutrient management specialist Peter Scharf thinks that split application of nitrogen for corn is a fine practice. This year is an exception. Rain and flooding kept many farmers from applying nitrogen at their usual time. Scharf says time is running out to apply nitrogen before planting corn, but applying nitrogen after planting is likely to work equally well. Planting and weed control should take priority over nitrogen application, he says. To save time in the field, a single application of dry or liquid nitrogen might be the answer this spring rather than split nitrogen applications or anhydrous ammonia. Anhydrous ammonia remains the cheapest source of nitrogen. It also resists loss best after excessive rains. But it is the slowest to apply, and that is not a good fit with the current situation. In “Flex and Go Fast,â€? a new article on MU’s Integrated Pest Management website (ipm.missouri.edu/IPCM/2019/4/nitrogen(open s in new window)), Scharf dispels common myths about nitrogen: • Myth 1: Early-season nitrogen stress reduces row numbers on corn ears and cost a lot of yield. Scharf says he counted ears on continuous no-till corn plots that had no nitrogen for 11 years. Yield suffered but corn ears were re-
duced by only 0.3 rows. • Myth 2: N applications at waist-high lead to economic devastation. Scharf’s study of data from five states over three decades shows this to be wrong. He says that data shows the same yield from nitrogen applied in a single shot at waist-high as at planting. He does not recommend waiting that long, but if does happen, it is not the huge problem that many people perceive it to be. Before the ground dries enough to plant, Scharf suggests that growers write down options and contingency plans for nitrogen application. Check with suppliers to see which forms of nitrogen are available and in what quantities. With potential transportation issues because of flooding, check on how fast they can get more. Also check availability of high-clearance applicators and planes as a final option. Scharf recommends broadcast dry nitrogen (urea with NBPT or ammonium nitrate) as the best option this year if you have significant residue on fields. Broadcast dry nitrogen before planting or any time up to waist-high. Avoid applications of ammonium nitrate after knee-high, which can cause enough leaf burn to reduce yields. Broadcast UAN tends to get tied up on the residue, so it is not a good option on this type of field. Injected UAN is slower than broadcast UAN but still considerably faster than anhydrous.

Buyers soon learn the value of AI genetics. With AI, breeders gain access to top genetics in a breed. Even small herds can use top sires. Farmington sale heifers were all black or black whiteface, Graham said. In addition to advanced genetics, SMS heifers receive intensive pre-breeding management. When a veterinarian tract-scores heifers, those that can’t breed are culled. That boosts calving rates. Also, pelvic measurements prior to breeding allow culling heifers that cannot have calving ease. Calving-ease trait is a favorite of farmers and vets. Few calves must be pulled, which cuts death losses of calves and heifers. Promotions for the sales tell that buyers are buying not only heifers but also valuable data.

mediately clean the area they are born in to make room for the next batch of eggs. After this phase, the worker bee will then nurse the younger bees for about a week. The bee will then enter her third phase, moving away from the center of the hive and build cells, and store food. This process lasts for about a week. About six weeks after birth, the worker bee will reach her final stage. This final stage is foraging. The worker bee will leave the hive and search for nectar, this is an important ingredient in the making of honey. After nonstop work for four weeks, the worker bee will leave the hive and eventually die. In conclusion, honeybees carry out a very intricate process. This process has a lot of moving parts, and takes weeks to complete. The process has a lot of moving parts that no one really knows about. Nevertheless, the honey making process is a very big project, for such a small animal.

Deer might be lovely animals, but not when grazing on freshly sprung tulips or hostas. And tree lovers fear antler rubs on trees and shrubs. “Unfortunately, there are few simple solutions to prevent deer damage without eliminating deer completely,â€? says University of Missouri Extension horticulturist Jennifer Schutter.

pest management approach. This includes monitoring deer pressure and using fencing, repellents and deer-resistant plants. Deer seek plants rich in protein, especially in spring and summer, to help them recover from winter. They like moist, tender plant parts such as buds, new leaves and immature stems.

• Be flexible when choosing plants. Like people, deer have different tastes in food. Look for plants labeled as “deer-resistant.â€? • Choose plants with rough textures. Deer do not like the texture of rough, hairy, prickly and spiny plants. Deer also dislike the texture of some viburnums, oakleaf hydrangea, lamb’s ear, prickly leaves or stems like hollies or barberries. • Choose plants with strong scents. Deer also turn up their noses at heavily-scented plants. Their stems or leaves contain aromatic compounds.
Lavender, boxwood and marigold are considered aromatic plants. • Choose bitter-tasting plants. Plants with a bitter or alkaloid taste include yarrow. • Interplant deer favorites with undesirables. (See sidebar for a detailed list.) The MU Extension publication “Controlling Deer Damage in Missouriâ€? (MP685) is available online at extension.missouri.edu/p/mp6 85.

ect. Also approved on an 8-0 vote were ordinances amending city codes to comply with state law. The ordinances involved changes in the open meetings law, certain offenders not allowed within 500-feet of school property/child care centers, traffic code definitions and operation of autocycles. Approved on a 7-1 vote, with Chumbley voting no, was an ordinance enacting a new section of the city code regarding release of health care records associated with law enforcement situations. The council tabled an ordinance regarding changes to city code involving the patronizing of prostitution and plans to bring back an ordinance in which the city ordinance would be repealed. Councilman Lou Fisher said he felt having a city ordinance on this topic was redundant as it is covered under state law. Also tabled and sent to the administrative committee was an ordinance regarding the use of sirens and flashing lights by
emergency personnel. The ordinance as presented addressed just MoDOT officials and council members said they would like to see other city personnel included as well, such as utility workers, street department workers, etc. The administrative committee will also look at a request to consider reducing or waiving fees for construction of new sidewalks by the public through the city’s sidewalk program. City ordinance currently requires purchase of a building permit to make sure the sidewalks are completed to code, with a $35 cost for the permit. If the sidewalks are done through the city program, the city does provide the cost for the concrete. The utility committee will be looking at the cost of electricity being paid by the park department to heat the city pool. Chumbley, who serves as liaison to the park board, said the board would like the council to consider establishing a special rate for the pool’s electric usage.

The Building and Nuisance Board met prior to the council meeting, taking care of several items. Properties at 112 Kavanaugh St., owned by Mike Arnold, and 309 E. Crowder, owned by Trent Hansuld, were approved to be declared as nuisances and will be reviewed by the board at its June 24 meeting. Moved to a public hearing to be held on June 24 were properties at 607 W. Crowder Road (a garage), owned by John Danks, and 1618 Mable St., owned by Joseph Buckner. During the public hearing portion of the meeting, the board voted to extend time to June 24 for owners to continue working on properties at 409 E. 19th St., by Altoff/Matlage, and 813 Olive St., owned by Denise Jones and others. Given until July 22 was Samuel Southers, who is working on property at 2002 Chicago St.; and Gary and Susan Jacobs, who have property at 302 E.

some fundraising involved to help pay for the project. Trustees accepted, with gratitude, the retirement of Alan Barnett, the college’s chief information officer, effective June 30. Barnett has been employed by the college for the past 24 years and was instrumental in the development of IT resources on the campus. Barnett was also approved for emeritus status, which will go into effect immediately upon his retirement. Board members approved a decrease in tuition rates for Early College courses (courses taken by high school students either online or on campus), noting that the college wants to keep the total per credit hour costs level for those students for another year. As a $3 increase in student fees was recently approved, it became necessary to reduce the Early College course tuition rate by that amount. The new rates include $12 per credit hour for in-district students; $62 per credit hour for out-of-district students and online and outreach students. Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre told trustees that the college has received full approval by the state board of nursing and has been allowed to increase its students in the online nursing program by 10. Dr. Kristen Alley, associate vice president for student affairs, said the orientation sessions are being held for the summer terms and will begin soon for fall. She reported that applications for summer are up eight while applications for the fall term are up 56 over last year at this time. In looking at actual enrollment, she reported that summer enrollment is up 16 percent so far in both credit hours and head count and fall enrollment is up 12.8 percent in head count and 14 percent in credit hours. It was noted that those numbers, which are being compared to this time last year, fluctuate daily, but are encouraging. Dr. Alley discussed a number of student matters, including a fundraising challenge between students and faculty to benefit flood victims in north Missouri. NCMC is now challenging Northwest Missouri State University to match the amount raised, with proceeds to be donated to the American Red Cross. In his report, Dr. Klaver discussed a recent National Junior College Athletics Association meeting he attended and gave an update on Donnie Vandevender said Knapp has asked to have the property placed on the city demolition list. The board voted to remove property at 1323 Tindall Ave., owned by Brad Whitney, from the list of properties on the certificate of existence of dangerous buildings list, noting all work that had been required has been completed. Vandevender reported that a letter had been sent to Steve Ishmael regarding scaffolding being used to make repairs to a property he owns at the intersection of Ninth and Main streets. He told the board the scaffolding is to be removed this weekend if Ishmael’s contractor does not do any more work on the building this week. There will be no board meeting in May due to the Memorial Day holiday. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 24, during which time members will begin reviewing a list of properties to be considered for the 2019-20 demolition program.

The problem involves my wife. A few months after I first started communicating with him, I was bothered that I was keeping this important information from her. After all, with the internet and everything, the mother's daughter was able to track me down after 50 years. And these kinds of secrets always have a way of surfacing. When I finally told my wife, she became very upset and said that she didn't want to talk about it and asked me never to bring it up again. I have taken her at her word, but I have continued my communications with him. The advice I need concerns the fact that I would like to tell my other children about this discovery. They are in their 30s and established, and I don't think that they would be upset. I just don't want them to find out some other way and know that I kept this secret from them. I would totally leave it up to them if they want to communicate but they would have the information. The only person who knows about this, besides my wife, is my sister. I gave her his contact information in case something should happen to me, and she could let him
Dear Annie: I am in my 70s, have been married for 42 years and have three grown children. I found out two years ago that I had a child with a woman I had dated 10 years before I met my wife. Her daughter tracked me down and contacted me. She said that he had been put up for adoption, but she tracked him down because her mother was ill and wanted to know how he was doing. She said that she had contacted him and that he was interested in finding out about his birth parents but did not want to cause a problem. She then gave me his contact information. I was shocked and did not know how to proceed. After a couple of months, however, my empathy won out and I contacted him by email. He is 50 years old, successful, with two young daughters and a wife. I sent him information about my grandparents and health, and he never pushed for anything more. Over the last two years, we have emailed back and forth and gotten to know each other. I even had the opportunity to meet him and his wife when we were on business trips in the same town. I must say that I like and respect him.

Breakfast to go More Americans are grabbing breakfast to go, and restaurants are scrambling to serve them. This month, Panera Bread Co. added new egg wraps, baked goods and coffee drinks. Right now, 80 percent of Panera’s business comes after 11 a.m. It wants that to change. Burger King launched a $5 monthly coffee subscription, good for one cup each day. McDonald’s recently introduced its first new breakfast items in five years. Morning restaurant visits rose an average of 2 percent annually over the past eight years, says The NPD Group, a market research firm. That’s
faster than lunch visits, which flattened as more people snack or work from home. Morning meals accounted for 22 percent of restaurant traffic last year. The lift isn’t helping everyone. U.S. sales at some sit-down breakfast mainstays, like Bob Evans, fell last year. That’s because consumers want quick options, says David Portalatin, a vice president at NPD. Breakfast also appeals to fast-food chains because there’s less competition — restaurants like Chipotle and Domino’s don’t participate, for example — and coffee has high margins, says Robert Byrne, a senior manager of consumer insights at Technomic.
U.S. restaurant visits for morning meals 14 billion
Grab and go Fast-food chains are offering more options to meet U.S. demand.

know. I want to tell them in the next few months, but I dread how my wife will react. I am thinking about telling them and explaining that their mother knows but doesn't want to hear anything about it. Is that a good approach? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. -- Concerned Father and Husband Dear Concerned: Telling your grown children about your recent discovery of your 50year-old son is a brave and honest thing to do. It sounds like despite a rough beginning to life, your son has done very well for himself. With DNA testing companies such as Ancestry and 23andMe, there is a high likelihood that your children will eventually find out on their own. It is much better to hear the truth from their father. Your wife seems to be in denial about this. While some partners don't like to think about their partners' pasts, your past is what makes you unique. And your wife married you -- and your past. Walking on eggshells around your wife about your son will eventually lead to a crack. Try to ask your wife why she feels so uncomfortable talking about him. Reassure her how much you love her and how proud you are of what sounds like a fantastic family you've created together.
