ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT

Records Show Farmers Get Past Aid Package Limits off the backs of taxpayers while young and beginning farmers are priced out of the profession. This needs to end. The Department of Agriculture needs to re-evaluate its rules for awarding federal funds and conduct more thorough oversight of where it's funneling taxpayer dollars." USDA officials said they believe its rules are being followed and that procedures are in place to audit recipients. About 83 percent of the aid under the Market Facilitation Program has gone to soybean farmers because they've suffered most under China's retaliatory tariffs. The program sets a $125,000 cap in each of three categories of commodities: one for soybeans and other row crops, one for pork and dairy, and one for cherries and almonds. But each qualified family member or business partner gets their own $125,000 cap for each category. Farmers who produce both soybeans and hogs, for example, would have separate caps for each and could thus collect $250,000. But there are legal ways around those caps. USDA data show the biggest beneficiary has been DeLine Farms Partnership and two similarly named partnerships registered at the same address in Charleston, Missouri, that collected nearly $2.8 million. They're led by Donald DeLine and his wife, Lisa DeLine. Their attorney, Robert Serio, said the partnerships qualified legally and probably could have qualified for more if not for the caps. He said each partnership farms around 27,000

acres and is made up of eight or nine partners who all meet the "actively engaged" requirement. USDA spokesman Dave Warner said the department couldn't comment on the specifics of the DeLines' operations but that such a large claim was likely audited to ensure eligibility. At Peterson Farms in Loretto, Kentucky, eight members of the family partnership collected a total $863,560 for crops grown on over 15,000 acres, including wheat and corn used at the nearby Maker's Mark bourbon distillery. Co-owner Bernard Peterson said it didn't make up for all their losses at a time when it was already hard to be profitable. The $1.65 per bushel aid payments for soybeans fell well short of losses he estimated at $2 to $2.50 per bushel. "It's a big number but there are a big number of people directly depending on the success of our operation in the community," he said. The numerous ways around the caps mean that millions of subsidy dollars flow to "city slickers who are stretching the limits of the law," said Scott Faber, senior vice president of government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, which has criticized federal farm subsidy programs as biased toward big producers and promoting environmentally damaging farming practices.

Commission To Meet The Grundy County Commission will hold its reguar weekly meeting on Tuesday, July 9 at the courthouse. The only item listed on the agenda thus far is a 10:30 a.m. meeting with Ambulance Supervisor Steve Tracy.

ED Committee Meets The Economic Development Committee of the Trenton City Council met on Tuesday night, discussing several items but taking no official action. The committee had a conference call with David Martin of Gilmore Bell to discuss financing options the city could make available for businesses that may want to locate in the community, including Tax Increment Financing, tax abatements and tax additions (formation of transportation and/or community improvement districts). It was decided to ask city attorney Tara Walker to draft changes to the city’s zoning ordinances to allow conditional use permits to be issued in residential zones where a bed and breakfast-type business is currently not permitted. The committee also heard updates from North Central Missouri Development Alliance Director Micah Landes and Trenton Main Street/Trenton Downtown Improvement Association Director Megan Derry.

P&Z, BOA Hearings The Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Adjustments of the Trenton City Council held hearings on Monday night at city hall. On a 6-0 vote, members of the planning and zoning commission approved a conditional use permit request from Steve Merrin on behalf of John Hudson, who plans to have an Airbnb in a home Hudson and his wife plan to purchase from Merrin at 2105 Brookside Drive. According to Assistant City Clerk Tracy Maberry, the Hudsons, who currently reside in Nebraska, plan to reside at the home and would be renting out two of the bedrooms to shortterm visitors. The request goes on to the city council for final approval at its meeting on Monday night, July 8. On a 4-0 vote, the board of adjustments approved a variance request from Scott and Mackenzie Weldon to allow them to place a Type 2 electronic sign on property at 1212 E. Ninth St. The decision of the commission is final on this request and requires no more action.

$12 Billion To Help With Effects Of China Trade Dispute

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When President Donald Trump's administration announced a $12 billion aid package for farmers struggling under the financial strain of his trade dispute with China, the payments were capped. But many large farming operations had no trouble finding legal ways around them, records provided to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act show. The government paid nearly $2.8 million to a Missouri soybean operation registered as three entities at the same address. More than $900,000 went to five other farm businesses, in Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee and two in Texas. Three other farming operations collected more than $800,000 and 16 others collected over $700,000. Recipients defended the payouts, saying they didn't cover their losses from the trade war and they were legally entitled to them. Department of Agriculture rules let farms file claims for multiple family members or other partners who meet the department's definition of being "actively engaged in farming." But U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican who has long fought for subsidy limits, and other critics say it's the latest example of how loopholes let large farms collect far more than the supposed caps. Grassley said in a statement to AP that some of the nation's largest farms are receiving huge subsidies "through underhanded legal tricks. They're getting richer

Second Annual Back To School Event Set Plans are being made for the second annual Bright Futures Trenton Community Back to School event, being held to benefit Trenton R-9 students and families who need assistance in meeting back to school needs. This is truly a community event with Bright Futures, Grundy County Health Department, local churches, organizations and individuals coming together to meet the needs of children in the community. A large planning team comprised of community members has announced that Tuesday, Aug. 6 is the date of this year’s event. Some changes and additions have been made this year, including extending the time for the events being held at Trenton High School. Activities begin at THS, where par-

ents can enroll their students online from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. By keeping these events open until 6 p.m., Bright Futures is hoping to accommodate working parents who may not be able to bring their students throughout the day. Computers will be available and R-9 staff will be present to assist in the enrollment process. Pass the Pride, a sharing of gently worn Trenton Bulldog apparel, will take place at THS as well as distribution of school supplies for Trenton R9 students in need. For the first time this year, local Boy Scouts have collected gently-used gym shoes and will make them available for elementary students at this location. Trenton Cinema is offering free popcorn and drinks from 2 to 6 p.m. for those families who are out and about for the events throughout the

day. The Grundy County Health Department will hold its annual school health fair, providing health screenings, sharing safety information and distributing school supplies to area students who participate. The screenings are scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. at the First Christian Church and events being held there are open to all students in Grundy County. The First Christian Church will also host the First Assembly of God’s student hygiene products ministry, “Suds for Students,” which is an addition to this year’s back to school activities. The First Baptist Church will be hosting a clothing room. Families can come and select like-new clothing for their students’ back to school needs. Also at this location, Hodge Presbyterian Church will be providing new

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

UConn Placed On Probation HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — UConn's men's basketball program has been placed on probation for two years and former coach Kevin Ollie has been sanctioned individually for violations of NCAA rules during his tenure. The NCAA Committee on Infractions on Tuesday outlined numerous violations, most occurring between 2013 and 2018, and cited Ollie for failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance. The NCAA agreed with penalties UConn self-imposed in January, including the loss of one scholarship for the 201920 season, and did not impose any postseason ban.

Basketball Coach Fined MIAMI (AP) — A Boston Celtics assistant coach has been sentenced to probation and ordered to pay a fine for accepting $300,000 in bribes to get a wealthy Florida businessman's son into the University of Pennsylvania. Court records show a federal judge imposed the sentence Monday on Jerome Allen, the former head basketball coach at Penn. In addition to four years' probation, the 47-year-old Allen must pay a $202,000 fine and forfeit another $18,000. Allen received a lenient sentence after testifying for prosecutors against Philip Esformes in a $1 billion Medicare fraud trial. Esformes was convicted in April of 20 counts including money laundering and obstruction of justice and awaits sentencing.

Tyler Skaggs Death

Grieving Angels Trying To Press On ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton knows from his own heart-wrenching experience what the Los Angeles Angels are feeling, and will experience moving forward after the death of a teammate during the season. The slugger's message to the Angels, playing with heavy hearts after the death of 27year-old pitcher Tyler Skaggs, is to "hug each other, laugh, cry, lift the ones taking it extra hard up." Stanton, now playing for the New York Yankees, was still with the Miami Marlins three years ago when 24-year-old two-time All-Star pitcher JosÊ Fernåndez was killed in a boating crash late that season. Los Angeles returned to the field with an emotional 9-4 win over the Rangers on Tuesday night, a day after Skaggs was discovered unresponsive in his hotel room in Texas. No cause of death has been reported. "You're going to wonder why all of this is happening, is it real, why are u suiting up to play a game that seems irrelevant," Stanton wrote in an Instagram post. "Some Anger will ensue while u have to grieve in a fish bowl.. A lot will go through your mind. So stay together through that." Stanton said the Angels

need to understand how important their strength is for Skaggs' family, as well as their fans and "anyone looking for the power to overcoming something." Justin Bour, a first-year Angel who had a two-run single in his only at-bat Tuesday, was also with the Marlins in 2016. "I know how tough it's going to be every single day," Bour said after the game. "And it takes a really long time for it to sink in. And it still, sometimes it just doesn't." Texas catcher Jeff Mathis also played for the Marlins in 2016, and with Los Angeles in 2009 when 22-year-old Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver after only his fourth game in the big leagues. "It was almost like we were playing that season for him," Mathis said about the 2009 Angels. "Obviously, it was something very dear to us to honor him in just the best way we could. Every time we stepped on that field that was part of the reason that we played the way we played." The Angels won the AL West in 2009. They swept Boston in the AL Division Series, but lost the AL Championship Series in six games to the New York Yankees.

Angels owner Arte Moreno described it "like a punch in the heart" when general manager Billy Eppler called him Monday with the news about Skaggs. That also brought back memories of Adenhart's death 10 years ago. "The team is such a family, and when you take a piece away from the family, there's always a hole," Moreno said Tuesday after traveling to Texas to join his grieving team. Rangers pitcher Jesse Chavez spent 2017 with the Angels, and before Tuesday's game ran around the outfield to go greet and hug former teammates such as Mike Trout and Kole Calhoun. "It's a little bit harder, especially when you're playing a team that you played with him on," Chavez said somberly. "He was a kid, plain and simple." Angels manager Brad Ausmus and Seattle manager Scott Servais both played for the Astros, though were teammates at different times in Houston with Darryl Kile, who in June 2002 with the St. Louis Cardinals died in a Chicago hotel room during a road trip. Kile was 33. Current Angels first baseman Albert Pujols was on that Cardinals team with Kile.

Servais, an assistant GM for the Angels when they reacquired Skaggs after the 2013 season, said playing after a tragedy isn't easy, but provides some therapy by being back on the field. "It's really hard to get through," Servais said. "You have to lean on each other. That's what you really have to do." Servais was among the managers, some who had been through similar situations, who reached out to Ausmus. "To a man, it's the same advice, and that is there's no handbook for this," Ausmus said. "Just kind of got to go with your honest feelings. If you do that, I think then you're not going to be wrong." Ausmus, who broke down in tears talking about Skaggs, described the feeling as identical to when Kile died. "Once the game starts it actually is a refuge because it takes your mind off, it distracts you for a while," Ausmus said. "When you go back to your hotel room, you're reminded of reality. ... I know it gets easier, but it's difficult." Asked about the challenge of managing under such circumstances, instead of playing like he was after Kile's death, Ausmus said everybody feels a tremendous loss but understands that life and the baseball season have to go on. "It'll move forward at different paces for different guys, but this is just a reminder that professional athlete or not, we're all human and it can strike just the same," Ausmus said. "But as far as wearing the manager hat, I'm just wearing a hat right now. I'm just wearing an Angel hat."

NBA Summer League

Zion A Fan Of NBA Spacing Zion Williamson knows he has a lot to learn starting when he makes his NBA Summer League debut. That said, he's already picked up a few things. The No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft by the New Orleans Pelicans is in Las Vegas, where his first game on Friday is officially sold out and, predictably, a hot ticket on the resale markets. After practicing Tuesday, Williamson said he's noticing that some of the rules of defense in the pro game seem a bit more offense-friendly than the zones he often saw in college. "I do like the spacing a lot more," Williamson said, in a video posted to the Pelicans' web site. "You can't really just stand in the paint, so it gives me a lot of room to operate. Defense is just a little different as well." New Orleans plays New York tonight in the opener for both teams in Las Vegas in what has become an annual convention of coaches, players, scouts and executives.

NW Missouri Horticulture by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist PLANT PROPAGATION - PART 2 In my last column, I started a series on plant propagation, discussing seed production. This week I will cover some of the methods of vegetative propagation, sometimes referred to as cloning. The reason we refer to them as “clones� is that they are exact genetic copies of the plant you are trying to reproduce. This is especially useful for plants that do not produce viable seeds. It also usually results in a mature plant more quickly than growing from seeds. I will be describing several methods of vegetative propagation, but remember that not all plants can be propagated using any methods. Experience has shown that some methods work better than others for a given plant. The first method I will mention is using cuttings. Here you are taking part of the plant, and inducing roots to form. Typically leaves, stem tips, buds or stems

are used. Stem tips are perhaps the easiest. With this method, the end of the stem, including the terminal bud, along with a few leaves is used. The stem should be 3 to 4 inches. Remove the leaves most distant from the terminal bud, making sure at least a few leaves are left. Then dip the end where the roots will grow in rooting compound, which is a plant hormone. Moisten the rooting medium, place the stem in the medium, and place everything in plastic wrap to conserve moisture. However, do not put it in direct sunlight. After rooting, you will have a small plant with a good root system, ready to transplant. The important thing to remember is not to let it dry out. Keep it moist, but not too wet, since you do not want fungal diseases to develop. This is true for the other types of cuttings that I mentioned. Layering is another way of

Come Look!

Making hay goes against nature. No one baled hay for herds of buffalo that roamed the ranges. They grazed without ever eating a bale of hay. Can we learn from buffalo? Farmers baling hay this year confronted a contrary nature. Hay making wasn’t easy with constant rains. Hay quality suffered. This makes over three years of short hay crops. Grass growing in pastures has one aim. It puts up a seed stem with enough seed to keep the species alive one more year. Grazing cattle have another idea. They have rumens in their digestive tract to process forage nutrients to make more beef. They seek nutrient-rich leaves. not seed stems. If grazing goes right, cattle nip off seed stems before they mature to make seed. Before seed set grass contains its most nutrients. Grass plants accumulate elements from roots deep in the soil. By photosynthesis an almost magic process, grass helps keep our planet viable. In spring, after Greenup, the growing grass accumulates nutrients to store in growing leaves. If not grazed, those nutrients transfer from leaves to emerging seed stems. Energy and protein stored in leaves

propagating plants. Some plants, such as brambles, do this naturally. Here, you encourage rooting on a stem while the stem is still attached to the mother plant. Types of layering include simple, air, tip and compound. Simple layering, sometimes called trench layering, is easy. Bend a branch to the ground and cover it with several with several inches of soil. Be sure that the tip of the branch extends above ground level. Make sure everything remains moist, and eventually new roots will form along the branch. Sometimes wounding may speed up the process. The last method I will mention this week is division. Here, you are cutting or pulling apart the appropriate plant structure to produce new plants. The works best for some herbaceous perennial plants. The parts of the plants used may include crowns, bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers, stolons, or suckers. If you have ever grown irises or day lilies, and needed to move them, you are probably familiar with this process. If they don’t break apart easily after you dig them up, you can cut them into more manageable sizes with a knife. In my next column, I will cover plant propagation methods which require a bit more skill. These include grafting, budding and tissue culture.

move up stems to make seeds that give new plants. That’s the aim of grass. It’s not to feed cows. Farmers make best hay if they mow, cure, windrow and bale grass before nutrients convert to seed. This year, an almost constant string of rains didn’t allow needed three days of dry weather to make hay. Mowing grass was delayed. Seed stems shot up. Poor hay resulted, that won’t be supportive of cattle next winter. Nutrient conversion happens in all grasses, whether fescue or wheat. In cereal grains the process is most visible. Energy moves from wheat leaves to wheat heads. Once seeds are harvested the leftover leaves are called straw. Farmers use straw for bedding, not feed. The same process goes on in all grasses, whether fescue, millet, rye or whatever. If baled late in season we still call that fescue “hay.� It ain’t, it’s straw with seed heads attached. That's why hay testing is needed now. Tests tell the supplement needed to replace missing protein and TDN (Total Digestible Nutrients). Knowing hay and straw, we better understand hay quality

This year, most firstcutting hay missed the removing of seed heads. If seed heads are trimmed in the pre-boot time, secondgrowth grass will be all leaves. Grass doesn’t put up replacement seed heads. It’s done reproducing for the year, but it keeps growing leaves. Second-cutting hay without seed stems becomes prime feed. There’s possibility of a third cutting. Coolseason grasses have a late growth spurt. Fall pastures fertilized boost forage production, MU Extension specialists have taught for years the idea of fall stockpile. That grass need not be cut and baled. Stockpiled fescue stands right on through freezing of fall and winter. Fall grazing eliminates baling hay. It’s from a system called Management-intensive Grazing (MiG). That’s taught in MU Grazing Schools started way back when Jim Gerrish was an MU forage agronomist. He worked at Forage Research Center at Linneus. Thousands have gone through those schools to learn methods of rotational grazing. Managed grazing cuts work needed for baling hay. Moving bales to a hay shed was one reason I did not become a farmer. College offered non-bale careers. I learned to write about hay. Local MU Extension Centers know of grazing schools still to be held. They may have augers to sample hay bales and send off tests. Send hay stories to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

OP/ED

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Music In The Park

There is nothing better about summer than a concert in the park and a little ice cream. And on Friday, July 12, you can get your fill when the Trenton Band Boosters host an ice cream social and concert at Sesquicentennial Park in downtown Trenton. The event will feature music by members of the THS and TMS bands, who will be under the direction of new R-9 instrumental music instructor Ethan Stewart. Throw in some homemade ice cream and desserts and you’ve got yourself a great evening. Diane Lowrey The social begins at 8 p.m., with music and serving to continue until it gets dark. It is an eat-what-you-want, pay-what-you-want event, with all proceeds going to the R-9 instrumental music program. So if you are looking for something to do that evening, stop by for some ice cream, dessert and good old-fashioned music in the park. ********** If you’ve been in the area of North Central Missouri College recently, you’ve probably noticed a lot of demolition activity going on. Structures owned by the college for several years are coming down to make way for future expansion plans being considered by the NCMC Board of Trustees to meet the needs of a growing enrollment. I’ve been reading on social media (with amusement) some of the comments being made regarding the demolition work, in particular the former H&R Block and Rose’s Cut and Curl buildings in the 1200 block of Main Street. While I remember these structures housing businesses such as Joe Ferris’ tax service (H&R Block) and Bill Shockey’s insurance office (Rose’s Cut and Curl), my husband Stan (whose history of Trenton memory goes much farther back than mine) has shared stories about when businesses such as gas stations and a taxi stand were located there. It’s always fun to hear about what happened “back in the day,” not only about the event, but about the people involved. It’s a great local history lesson and one that should be shared whenever possible, especially with the youth of the community. The more history we can learn about Trenton and this area, the better prepared we will be for the future.

What Others Are Saying... Social Media Woes Floodwaters have tormented much of Missouri in recent months. But it's the toxic streams of social media and small-town politics that have converged to put the city of Lexington in the national spotlight and leave their stain on the land.

gossip only more so. "Social media is alive and well in this town, and it's vicious," Miller says. "I guess it's that way across the country." In that way, the former mayor is racing the sun. — Kansas City Star

Prisoner Health Needs

After the city council voted 6-1 in February to fire a popular city administrator, the resulting backlash, propelled by social media, swept three of those council members out of office in April, defeated by write-in candidates sympathetic to the fired administrator. But the raging waters would not recede, and last week, they carried off the formerly popular Mayor Fred Wiedner, who resigned, took a job out of state and cited the high-tech tar-and-feathering of social media as the main culprit. "I did not sign up for this mess," he wrote in an already legendary passage from his resignation letter. "Or, possibly I did and just didn't realize how mean people could be. Either way, it is no longer worth the battle." Critics wanted the mayor's head, and they got it. Not through the bush-league background checks they performed on him, which couldn't dig up any more dirt than the same financial difficulties of a decade ago that washed over millions. No, what got them their wall trophy were the unsubstantiated insinuations about the mayor's past shady or incompetent business dealings and, of course, the ominous but illusory shadows of what he might be up to today that folks don't know about. All this might not have happened were it not for the insidious power of social media to create constant churn and feed unwarranted animus. It's an addictive chemical that induces otherwise normal people to wage remote blitzkrieg, most often against strangers, from the safety of their phones and computers. Social media may be a net positive, but its negatives can be most vile. "I think a lot of people don't have anything else to do during the day," said one Lexington official who requested anonymity for fear of further backlash. This modern tragic allegory might have played out in Anytown, USA. It just happened to be staged for a national audience in Lexington, a charming burg of fewer than 5,000 sitting 50 miles east of Kansas City. "We are better than this," the official said. "This is a historic, lovely town." The former mayor, a transplant from Kansas who thought he'd settled into a pacific small-town life, had done a good job, the official said, adding that he was an upbeat sort who expected the hate to evaporate. In vain, it turns out. "He just had enough," lamented Bill Miller, a former eight-year councilman. "I don't blame him for pulling up stakes." Gossip has always been with us. Today's electronic

The American Civil Liberties Union is trying to force the Missouri Department of Corrections to pay what could amount to around $100 million to cure prisoners who have hepatitis C. The Associated Press reported the ACLU filed a motion in its class-action lawsuit, seeking an emergency court order to force Corrections and its medical provider, Corizon LLC, to begin testing and treating inmates with the viral infection. Missouri has 4,590 inmates who are infected, the suit says. Other than the ACLU, we haven't heard much of an outcry to cure prisoners. Part of that might be because many of the people with the infection have it due to their own poor choices. In most cases, hepatitis C is contracted through intravenous drug use, and isn't spread much in prison. It also can be transmitted through tattooing or blood transfusions. It can be sexually transmitted as well, but that's uncommon. If not treated it can attack the liver, leading to considerable pain and even death. Corrections isn't discussing the pending suit. We suspect a good part of the reason the department hasn't authorized treatment to inmates with hepatitis C is because its flat out doesn't have the money. The cure requires treatment that takes up to 12 weeks and costs about $20,000. So, by our calculations, treating 4,590 inmates would cost taxpayers approximately $92 million, not including testing and the bureaucracy involved with testing and treating. More states are facing such lawsuits because inmates' advocates have been emboldened by the U.S. Supreme Court. According to a Feb. 5 U.S. News & World Report story, the high court ruled that officials cannot act with deliberate indifference to inmates' serious health needs, and that denying them treatment can subject them to needless suffering and violate the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Burdening taxpayers with the huge health care bill doesn't exactly seem fair, either, but it's not going to do us much good to argue against the Supreme Court. It's not realistic for the Department of Corrections to simply find upward of $100 million in its budget to cure all of its affected inmates. So, while the lawsuit works its way through the courts, we urge the Department of Corrections to triage the cases, treating and curing the worst cases first, as its budget allows. Meanwhile, the department shouldn't prevent inmates or their families from seeking immediate treatment on their own. — Jefferson City News Tribune

COMMUNITY THS Classes Meet For Breakfast The Trenton High School classes of 1936-1943 met t on Monday, July 1 at Dino’s Diner. The Labor Day weekend luncheon, which will be held on Aug. 31 at Dino’s, was discussed. Those present were Max Oyler, Dorothy McMullen, Don Woodard, Bonnie Moore, Mary Lou Crawford, Lana Snyder, Cathy Tiegert, Marian Campbell and a guest Beth Kennedy, a member of the class of 1958 from rural Trenton. The next breakfast will be at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 5 at Dino’s. After breakfast, Sheron Lovell of Trenton joined the women at the home of Mrs. Crawford to view three quilts she had recently assembled and had quilted. The children of the late Lucille Chambers Fletcher, a member of the class of 1943, had given Mrs. Crawford boxes of fabric, which included finished quilt blocks made years ago by the Grundy Center United Methodist

women. Most of the blocks had been handpieced. Mrs. Crawford wanted to make sure that Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Moore saw the finished quilts because it is possible that their mothers probably pieced a few blocks. These two women, along with Mrs. McMullen and Mrs. Lovell, are members of the Grundy Center Church. Mrs. McMullen brought a quilt made many years ago, which had pieced blocks on both the top and bottom sides of the quilt. Each block had been stuffed with a nylon hose. Mrs. Kennedy brought a family quilt which had blocks made by members of her family which included names of both women and men. Mrs. Moore showed an “Old Pals� quilt made in 1928 by the Grundy Center Church women and contained names of the maker on each block. All of the women shared stories about the family quilts and hope to have another quilt showing by fall.

Lois Corrigan Gives Program Martha Maloney hosted a luncheon for the Town and Country Garden Club on Monday, June 24 at her home in Trenton with seven members attending. President Barb Peterson opened the meeting by reading some famous, thought-provoking quotes. Members answered roll call by telling about their favorite perennial and how to care for it. Gardening tips and remedies for various problems were discussed and it was announced the R-5 High School landscaping has been weeded again. Lois Corrigan presented the program on how to grow and care for air plants. There are more than 650 types of air plants, which grow and thrive without soil, and come in all sizes and shapes. Many air plants grow with strap-shaped

or slender triangle-shape leaves and most have attractive tubular or funnel-shaped flowers. Those with silver foliage tend to be the most drought tolerant and the greener plants dry faster. The key to air plant survival is constant air circulation. They should be watered once a week by placing them in the sink and rinsing lightly, then left in the sink to drain. They should be misted every few days to keep them looking fresh. Mrs. Peterson won the door prize. Mrs. Maloney served lunch, then the group toured Mrs. Maloney’s flower garden and yard, where her daylilies were just starting to bloom. The next meeting will be July 22 at the home of Judy Jackson.

erence. While that seems like a good thing, it is not. I think it is reasonable to be deferential to people with disabilities. I would very much prefer not being looked upon as someone with a disability because I am old. The people who know me do not treat me as though I am old. I am vibrant and an active singerr, dancer, director, teacher and church member in my community. It is only with people who do not know me that I am treated as though I am old. While I understand it, I resent it greatly. Can't we just be nice to everyone and stop treating older people as aliens? Younger people: Hopefully you will get to be old, too. And then you will see what it is like to be treated diffferently just because you have lived longer. -- Sick of Being Treated This Way Dear Sick: I'm printing your letter as a wake-up call to anyone who might be guilty of this kind of behavior. Unfortunately for us both, not everyone will read this column, so there are always going to be those who continue acting this way. The key for you will be finding a way to rise above it. I'd be curious to hear from other readers about how they've dealt with this issue. I'll print their insights here Dearr Annie: Five years ago, I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. I had NONE of the symptoms you mentioned, except for some very minor weight loss. I would encourage people to have an endoscopy at the same time they have a colonoscopy. It's done by the same doctors, so there's only one anesthetic, and the recovery for both is the same amount of time. Having esophageal cancer and an esophagectomy is a life-altering situation with no "do overr." Should any of your readers wish to have discussion they may email me. -- Arnie M. Dear Arnie: Thank you so much for shedding additional light on this subject.

U.S. data breaches

Identity thieves,, nation-state spies, credit-card rustlers: They’ve e made data breaches a 21st-century migraine. Last year, the e number of sensitive records containing personally identifiable information reported expose ed more than doubled from the year before, accordin ng to the nonprofit Identity Theft Resource Cente er. Not surprisingly, tech-heavy California led U.S. states in both breaches s and records exposed over the past decade, the te ech research outfit Comparitech found after analyzing data a from the center and other sourrces.

The main Oregon culprit was a 2017 leak from River City Media, an email marketing purveyor. Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. — home to government agencies and contractors — all made the top 10 in records records exposed. Breaches are a attributed to individual state es or Washington, D.C., based on n where the affected businesses and public agencies are located — not where their us sers are.
