Briefs... Galt Sets Tax Rate The 2019 tax rate was set for the city of Galt when the Board of Aldermen met on Wednesday, Aug. 7. City Clerk Ashley Campbell reported the tax rate was set at $1 on the $100 assessed valuation. This is an increase of 5.09 cents from last year, when the rate was 94.91 cents. An ordinance was approved updating utility deposit amounts for city residents. Ms. Campbell said the amount to be charged for new owneroccupied properties is $170 while new renteroccupied properties will be charged $370. The old deposit rate was $170 for all new customers. Deposits are due before utility services will be turned on or transferred into a new account name. The deposit covers electric, water, sewer and trash services. The next meeting of the board will be at 6 p.m. on Sept. 10.

NCMC Public Hearing

TRENTON R-9 CLASSES BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY

North Central Missouri College will hold its annual tax levy hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 27. The 5:25 p.m. hearing will be held in the Frey Administrative Building on the NCMC campus and will precede the regular monthly board meeting. A levy of 39.07 cents on the $100 assessed valuation is being proposed, which would generate $342,500 in tax revenue for 2019. The revenue is based on an assessed valuation of $94,487,427, which is $508,924 higher than a year ago.

Money Tight As Funds Sought To Aid In Infrastructure Repairs

States Brace For Help With Flood Damage JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — After devastating flooding this year, Iowa put $15 million into a special fund to help local governments recover and guard against future floods. Missouri allotted more money to fight rising waters, including $2 million to help buy a moveable floodwall for a historic Mississippi River town that's faced flooding in all but one of the past 20 years. In Arkansas, Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced $10 million to repair damaged levees while creating a task force to study a system that in some places has fallen into disrepair though years of neglect. The states' efforts may turn out to be only down

payments on what is shaping up as a long-term battle against floods, which are forecast to become more frequent and destructive as global temperatures rise. "What is going on in the country right now is that we are having basically an awakening to the necessity and importance of waterway infrastructure," said Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert, a Republican who has been pushing to improve the state's levees. The movement is motivated not just by this year's major floods in the Midwest, but by more than a decade of repeated flooding from intense storms such as Hurricane Harvey, which dumped 60 inches of rain on southeastern Texas in 2017. In November, Texas

The high at Trenton on Thursday, Aug. 8 was 90, Friday’s high was 89, Saturday’s high was 91 and the high Sunday was 84 with a low of 72 and 1.09 inches of rain recorded. The high on Sunday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 84, the low was 70 and 1.15 inches of rain falling.

voters will decide whether to create a constitutionally dedicated fund for flood-control projects, jumpstarted with $793 million from state savings. For years, states have relied heavily on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay the bulk of recovery efforts for damaged public infrastructure. While that remains the case, more states have been debating ways to supplement federal dollars with their own money dedicated not just to rebuilding but also to avoiding future flood damage. Those efforts may include relocating homes, elevating roads and See Flood, Page 3

Biles Wins U.S. Title In KC KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Simone Biles messed around and got a triple-double. And just about everything else too on her way to a sixth U.S. women's gymnastics title. The Olympic champion began her preparation for the 2020 Games by drilling her boundary pushing triple-twisting, double-flip (aka the "triple-double") at the end of her first tumbling run on floor exercise Sunday night, the exclamation point of another dazzling performance that showcased just how wide the gulf between Biles and the rest of the world has become. Biles had a two-day all-around total of 118.500, nearly five points clear of Sunisa Lee in second and almost eight points ahead of Grace McCallum in third. The 22-year-old took the top scores on floor, vault and balance beam and placed third on bars, bouncing back from a sloppy set Friday that left the greatest gymnast on the planet and admitted perfectionist seething. Sam Mikulak cruised to his sixth national title on Saturday night.

THE NORTHERN TRUST

Kansas City Chiefs 38, Cincinnati Bengals 17

Mahomes Sharp, Chiefs Rout Bengals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes took his first snap of the preseason, dropped back and set his feet, then threw a perfect pass down the sideline to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for a big gain. It's was almost as if last season never ended. The league MVP picked up where he left off from his record-breaking debut as the starter, leading Kansas City to a firstquarter touchdown in a 38-17 rout of the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night. Mahomes did a bit of everything on his only series with the first-team offense, too. The gunslinger was 4 for 4 for 66 yards, added a wild 10-yard scramble in which he wisely slid at the goal line to avoid a big hit, and even induced an offside penalty with his barking cadence. "I felt great. To get out there, make some throws, get the guys kind of rolling," he said. "Run game, pass game, I thought it was a good drive to start everything off." It came after an equally impressive drive by the Cincinnati starters. Andy Dalton converted a series of third downs while leading the Bengals on a 14play, 75-yard TD march to open the game . And he did it without the services of injured wide receiver A.J. Green or his top two running backs, Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard, who were given the night off. "That's how you want to start the game," Dalton said. "We feel like we've got depth on this team. We've got talent. So for us to miss some of our guys that'll be starting for us this year, not in there, I thought we did a great job." On that drive, perhaps. But first-year head coach Zac Taylor had a different assessment as a whole.

"You really look at a game like this, 3817 final score, we had two turnovers on special teams, countless penalties on offense and a defensive pass interference that extended a drive that had a big stop," he said. "That's life in the NFL right now. We've got to correct those mistakes." The most interesting thing to happen in the game came late in the first half, when Kyle Shurmur was marching the Chiefs downfield. His throw to Byron Pringle down the sideline was picked by safety Brandon Wilson, scuttling the drive and giving Cincinnati a chance with the ball. But under a rule change approved by NFL owners in March, pass interference calls can be reviewed — a response to the controversial on-call in the NFC title game last season. And when officials reviewed the play Saturday night, they decided that cornerback Tony Lippett had caused interference. The penalty gave the Chiefs the ball back and they wound up kicking a field goal. In a delicious coincidence, the provision passed by a 31-1 vote of owners at the league's annual meeting in Phoenix. The only team that voted against the rule was Cincinnati. STAT WATCH Dalton was 7 of 9 for 80 yards. ... Bengals rookie Ryan Finley outplayed Jeff Driskel in the race for the No. 2 QB job, going 13 of 18 for 109 yards with a TD and a pick. ... Josh Caldwell led the Chiefs with 59 yards rushing and a TD. ... Each team was penalized 11 times for 206 yards total. EARLY EXIT Chiefs CB D'Montre Wade, who has been competing for a backup job, was ejected in the third quarter for hitting a defenseless receiver near the head. The Ben-

gals ended the drive with a field goal. ROOKIE WATCH Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman caught a shuffle pass from Shurmur in the second quarter and went 17 yards for a touchdown . The second-round pick finished with two catches for 31 yards in his debut. "They called it in the huddle and I was like, 'Oh yeah, it's my chance to score right here,'" Hardman said. "Got the pitch and I saw it open up, I saw the seam. I just said, 'Let's hit it and get into the end zone.' I got in there. It felt good. Hopefully there are many more to come." EYE ON THE BALL Bengals punt returner Darius Phillips recovered his own muffed punt in the second quarter, but he wasn't as fortunate in the third. The Chiefs' Deon Yelder recovered his next one, and quarterback Chase Litton proceeded to hit running back Darwin Thompson with a 29-yard touchdown throw. INJURIES Bengals SS Clayton Fejedelem was carted off with a right ankle injury. TE Cethan Carter left with a neck strain, RB Trayveon Williams hurt his ribs and DT Christian Ringo hurt his thumb. Chiefs TE John Lovett left early in the second half with a shoulder injury. MISSING STARS Bengals DT Geno Atkins joined Mixon and Bernard in getting the night off. The Chiefs sat RB Damien Williams, who recently returned from a hamstring injury, and DE Frank Clark, who has been dealing with a sore wrist after signing a $104 million, five-year deal in the offseason. UP NEXT Bengals: At Washington on Thursday night. Chiefs: At Pittsburgh next Saturday.

Patrick Reed Wins For First Time Since 2018 Masters JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — The harder he worked, the farther Patrick Reed felt he

was falling behind. That's when the people around him sought drastic measures by

making him leave his golf clubs alone for 10 whole days. Recharged from his pre-

summer break, Reed finally found the result he was looking for Sunday in The Northern Trust, and it couldn't have come at a better time. He delivered key shots on three straight holes on the back nine at Liberty National -two for birdie, one for par - to overtake Jon Rahm, hold off Abraham Ancer, close with a 2-under 69 and win the FedEx Cup opener. It was his first victory in 16

months over 41 tournaments worldwide dating to the 2018 Masters. "The longer that time period is in between wins, it just makes it tougher," Reed said. "I was pushing too hard and was trying harder and all of a sudden, it was going the wrong direction. My team was smart enough to tell me to back off, shut it down and reset and get clear, because we can finish the year right. We can get a

couple Ws, and no better place that starting the first week of the playoffs." Points are quadrupled in the PGA Tour postseason, so the victory vaulted Reed from No. 50 to No. 2. His place in the Tour Championship is secure. His odds of the $15 million prize are greatly increased. It still wasn't enough for him to get in the top eight qualifiers for the Presidents Cup, to be decided after next week. Reed went to No. 12 and he would have to win the BMW Championship next week to qualify. Even so, it was the kind of win to at least get the attention of U.S. captain Tiger Woods. Reed finished at 16-under 268 and won for the seventh time in his career on the PGA Tour.

bridges, strengthening levees and creating natural wetlands that could divert floodwaters from the places where people live and work. "There are states who are realizing that they have an obligation to step up here, that flooding is really a state and local problem, and the federal taxpayer is not going to totally bail us out. We need to be thinking ahead and helping ourselves," said Larry Larson, a former director and senior policy adviser for the Association of State Floodplain Managers. Although President Donald Trump has expressed doubt about climate change, even calling it a hoax, a National Climate Assessment released last year by the White House warned that natural disasters in the U.S. are worsening because of global warming. The report cited a growing frequency and intensity of storms, heat waves, droughts and rising sea levels. Instead of pointing at climate change, governors and lawmakers in some Midwestern states have blamed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for worsening floods by the way it manages water along its network of dams. Preliminary assessments compiled by The Associated Press have identified about $1.2 billion in damage to roads, bridges, buildings, utilities and other public infrastructure in 24 states from the floods, storms and tornadoes that occurred during the first half of 2019. Those states also have incurred costs of about $175 million in emergency response efforts and debris cleanup. In addition, an AP survey of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts found that this year's floodwaters breached levees in about 250 locations in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Some levees crumbled in multiple spots, including one near Missouri's capital city that inundated the airport.

When it's rebuilt, the floor of a new airport terminal will have to be 11 feet higher to meet federal flood-plain regulations, said Jefferson City Public Works Director Matt Morasch. The Army Corps estimates that levee repairs could top $1 billion in the Missouri River basin, where most of the breaches occurred. The nation's disaster costs for public infrastructure will undoubtedly rise throughout the year. The Army Corps has yet to inspect all the damaged levees, officials in Illinois, Louisiana and elsewhere are still assessing damage to their flooded infrastructure, and the annual hurricane season is just getting underway. Beyond that, the AP's preliminary figures do not include damage caused by wildfires, which have become increasingly destructive in Western states. The AP's research shows that Nebraska was one of the states hardest hit by the flooding, with a preliminary assessment of about $435 million in damage to roads, bridges, utilities and other public infrastructure from a March storm . Rain fell on a still frozen terrain, causing a sudden snow melt that sent huge chunks of ice barreling down swollen rivers. Nebraska has a regional network of Natural Resource Districts that could direct local money toward flood protection. Like most states, it also budgets money to pay the state's share of FEMA disaster recovery projects, and the state plans to hire a contractor to help develop a long-term recovery plan. But until now, the state has not had a coordinated strategy for taking steps to reduce flooding risks, said Bryan Tuma, who leads the daily operations of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Only a few Midwestern states have pumped much of their own money into flood prevention. Minnesota created a grant program in 1987 that has since awarded almost $525 million to local projects.

After extensive flooding in 2011, Iowa launched a unique program that lets local governments keep a portion of their growth in state sales tax revenue to help finance levees, floodwalls and other projects designed to hold back rising waters. The state expects to forgo nearly $600 million of revenue over 20 years to help pay for nearly $1.4 billion of projects in 10 cities. But applications for that program closed several years ago, leading Iowa legislators this year to put $15 million into a separate fund to pay for flood prevention and recovery. "As a state and, I think as a nation, we're finally starting to get there — recognizing that making an investment in mitigation pays off in itself over the course of time," said John Benson, chief of staff for the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. In Texas, the proposed constitutional amendment creating a $793 million flood infrastructure fund is part of a broader package. Among other things, lawmakers appropriated $638 million to help local governments pay their share of FEMA recovery and floodprotection projects, and $47 million to update or develop flood-risk maps. Sponsoring Rep. Dade Phelan, a Republican whose district was swamped by Hurricane Harvey, said too many cities, counties and drainage districts have been going it alone instead of working together on regional floodmanagement plans. The scattered approach has resulted in "roads that act like dams" and neighborhoods built in flood zones, he said. "There's never been an opportunity like there is now to have everyone sit down and do a cooperative, holistic approach to flooding in a particular watershed," Phelan said. In Arkansas, Rapert began pursuing better levee policies

Former Trenton resident Andy Vaughn has been named the 2019 Paramedic of the Year by the Missouri Emergency Services Association. Vaughn, pictured at right, is a lieutenant/paramedic with the Chillicothe Fire Department, where he has worked for 34 years. He began his employment in 1985 as a firefighter-paramedic and was promoted to his current position in 1988. “During his 34 years of working for the city (of Chillicothe), Andy has provided strong leadership for the fire and ambulance,” according to one of several letters written on Vaughn’s behalf. Other comments focused on Vaughn’s positive attitude on the job, “often bringing a bright spot into the darkest of calls with patients experiencing their worst kind of day.” Vaughn is the son of Bill Vaughn of Trenton and the late Celia Vaughn. Prior to his employment at Chillicothe, Vaughn was a paramedic with the Grundy County Ambulance Service as well as a pay-by-call fireman for the Trenton Fire Department, working with his father, who was fire chief for many years. Vaughn is married to the former Debbie Neighbors and they are the parents of five children and five grandchildren. Also pictured is Chillicothe “Interim” Fire Chief Eric Reeter.

four years ago, after flooding on his farmland along the Arkansas River. The lawmaker discovered that the nearby levee hadn't been repaired after a 1990 breach and that its governing board was defunct. So he sponsored a law allowing local officials to re-establish dormant levee boards and requiring annual reports to be sent to the state. Although Rapert's local levee got fixed, he said most of the districts haven't filed reports, raising questions about whether their levees are being maintained. "Until there's a flood, nobody really cares about levees. But when there's a flood, everybody's worried about them," said Jason Trantina, a farmer and convenience store owner near Conway, Arkansas, who was appointed president of Rapert's local levee district when it was re-formed. The improved levee worked this year, until it was finally overtopped by floodwaters that swamped Trantina's business. Like his counterpart in Arkansas, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson also has appointed a task force to examine the state's levee system, explore ways of better managing flood waters and prioritize state funding for flood recovery. Parson also signed a budget that includes $2 million for a moveable floodwall in Clarksville, a rural community of about 450 with a 19th century downtown that has been fighting an annual battle against the Mississippi River. After selling the town's visitor center to finance flood-fighting efforts, the town is again short on money and still needs additional grants to buy the $4.5 million floodwall. "We have spent and spent and spent money that we don't have trying to defend against the flood," Clarksville Mayor Jo Anne Smiley said. "In my judgment, this is the answer to the survival of this town."

Not one, not two, not three defenders could stop Maci Moore, who scored a career-high 30 points on Saturday in Trenton’s 57-18 victory over St. Joseph Lafayette. Moore also had nine rebounds in the win.

Moore Hammers Lafayette, Leads Trenton With 30-Point Night Maci Moore has scored a lot of points for having a high school career that has bridged just a year and a half. On Saturday, Dec. 22 at North Central Missouri College’s Holiday Hoops, Moore established a new high-water mark for her career, pouring in 30 points as the Trenton High School girls basketball team throttled St. Joseph Lafayette 57-18. Moore dropped in the first two points of the game and drew a foul, going to the line to complete a three-point play just seven seconds into the contest. That would be the theme all night as Lafayette struggled to find an answer for the sophomore forward. “I was just working to get open, get in front of (Lafayette) and put it up ”

about a lot because we have so many different weapons that can score on a given night,” Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We work a lot in practice on defense, though and the intensity that we come out with. I didn’t have a real good scouting report on Lafayette, but we just came out knowing that we needed to talk on picks and the girls had the right intensity, the right energy level. You couple that with some very athletic girls that have a good basketball IQ and the next thing you know, you are shooting passing lanes and getting tips. I thought we were just very active on defense and that’s what good teams do. Even teams that score a whole bunch of points, if they are going to have a successful season it all starts on the defen

said. “Tonight we were just trying to spread the floor and get to the basket. (Lafayette) plays a lot of sagging man and it almost resembles a zone because everyone is in the lane. So we were going to try to draw the defense out and dump it to Maci or Sidney (Lynch) or whoever happened to be down there. Maci was the answer. I think they even lost her a couple of times, she was so wide open. She is a great finisher around the basket, she is a great kid and she is a great teammate. She is very coachable. When you have a player who has a great work ethic and you combine that with someone who has gifted hands, gifted feet and great touch around the basket, it makes for a great player.” Behind Moore Trenton got

tougher go than the girls, falling 38-34 to Green City earlier in the day. The Bulldog defense continued to be one of the strongest parts of Trenton’s game, but Green City’s Devin Field did just enough to put the Gophers on his back and carry them past Trenton. Fields scored 20 of Green City’s 38 points and Trenton’s offense sputtered once again leaving the Bulldogs with a four-point loss. “We played great defense and rebounded well,” Trenton Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “We just couldn’t score. It was a tough loss and we have to bounce back. I am very confident that’s exactly what we will do.” Trenton was led by Max McNabb, who had 10 points and three steals Carson Rad

ACROSS MISSOURI

MU Researchers Growing Hemp COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Researchers with the University of Missouri are getting a head start on growing hemp in order to collect information to help farmers who plan to grow the state's newest cash crop in the spring. It was been illegal to grow hemp across the U.S. and in Missouri because it is a type of cannabis without high levels of THC — the chemical that gives people a high. In recent years, federal and state governments have loosened those restrictions. This year, Missouri lawmakers dropped a pilot program that allowed hemp farming only on 10- to 50-acre plots. A law that pass this year contains no acreage restrictions but requires growers to be licensed by the state Agriculture Department, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported . The law allowed universities to begin growing the plant immediately to collect useful data on the new crop for farmers, but otherwise takes effect on Aug. 28. The University of Missouri has research plots at seven centers across the state. "When you're starting a brand new crop — you know, we haven't grown this for 100 years — so when you start a brand new crop, we don't know the basics about it," said Tim Reinbott, assistant director of the University of Missouri's Agricultural Experiment Station. "Getting a chance, this head start, that we can grow it and feel it and touch it and learn something about it before next year when farmers get to grow it in Missouri — that's huge." Reinbott said St. Louis-based Tiger Fiber LLC is sponsoring the study. The company provided seeds and is monitoring THC levels to ensure they don't exceed the legal limit of .3% THC. The hemp grown through the experiment will be destroyed. Tom Raffety, who farms corn and soybeans near Charleston in southeast Missouri, is president of the Missouri Hemp Producers Association. He said he's heard "horror stories" from farmers in other states who paid for bad seeds. "There's only so much information you can find on the internet, and much of it's wrong," he said. "Hopefully the university research will really give some guidance to growers moving forward." Topics being studied include what row spacing works best, how the crop grows in different regions of the state, how tolerant the plant is to drought, how much watering is necessary, and weed control. Perryville Republican Rep. Rick Francis sponsored this year's hemp law and said he thought hemp, which is used in thousands of products, could be an economic development tool in rural parts of the state. The challenge after next year's growing season will be connecting growers to buyers, he said. "That's one of the keys," he said, adding that working groups are already trying to solve marketplace problems.

Farmers Relying On Federal Help KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Sixth-generation Kansas farmer Charles Atkinson said the millions of dollars in trade aid the federal government has funneled to local farmers doesn't fully make up for what growers have lost in recent years. "But it will help," he said, noting that many farmers are struggling to turn a profit. "I'm not going to say they (government payments) were the savior, but with margins as thin as they are we could have a lot of farms out of business." The bailouts were designed to help farmers who were already weathering low prices on commodities such as soybeans before President Donald Trump's trade wars sunk prices even lower. The administration has so far mailed checks totaling about $8.6 billion to U.S. farmers to help make up for lower market prices of 2018 crops. Many farmers originally supported the administration's trade posture, but their patience is wearing thin, said Atkinson, a member of the American Soybean Association's board of directors. He received payments worth $18,557 for last year's soybean, corn and wheat crops. "We know negotiations are happening with China and getting closer," he said. "I wouldn't say there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but it's getting closer." But what was billed as a short-term sacrifice that would deliver long-term gain shows no signs of letting up: Just last week, Trump threatened a 10% tariff on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods, which would take effect in September, as trade negotiations continue to stall. In the meantime, the government continues issuing checks — sparking outrage from free-market think tanks that have equated the move with socialism and criticized it for ballooning the national debt, The Kansas City Star reported. Bailout payments from the Market Facilitation Program over the last two years have totaled $444 million for farms based in Missouri and $539 million for those in Kansas — a collective haul of about $982 million, according to data obtained by the Associated Press and analyzed by The Kansas City Star.

Those who signed up for the voluntary program included Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler's family farm in Harrisonville, Missouri. Hartzler Farms Inc., a business the congresswoman owns with her husband, received a total of $108,916 for 2018 losses on wheat, soybeans and corn — nearly 14 times the average payout to Missouri farmers of $7,915. Steve Walsh, Hartzler's spokesman, said the congresswoman and her husband have the same challenges as other farmers in the region. "Like many farmers in the state, the Hartzler's have been negatively impacted by the recent severe weather, rising input costs along with lower commodity prices, and current market uncertainty," Walsh said in a statement. Walsh noted that the Market Facilitation Program provides a partial offset for the financial losses farmers "continue to suffer from damages because of unjustified trade retaliation from China and other foreign nations." Hartzler consistently supports the president's policies. Hartzler's 2018 financial disclosure form filed with the U.S. House estimates the farm's value between $1 million and $5 million and states that Hartzler's annual income from the farm is between $15,000 and $50,000. On top of the bailout money, Hartzler's farm has a long history of benefiting from federal commodity subsidies, taking in nearly $1 million in total between 1995 and 2016. The decision to pursue tariffs on Chinese goods has caused prices to plummet as China hit soybeans and other U.S. commodities with retaliatory tariffs. Hartzler, a member of the House agriculture committee, said last year she hoped the trade aggressions would be "a temporary situation to get some concessions of China for some of their clear abuses in other areas." But in the meantime, soybean farmers continue to feel the brunt of the trade war. The crop was selling for $8.49 per bushel on Friday. It traded at nearly double that price in 2012. The administration is poised to hand out even more cash: federal officials recently unveiled details of a $16 billion trade aid package, which in-

cludes nearly $15 billion more in direct payments to farmers. During the first eight months of the bailout program, the federal government paid out $8.55 billion to 577,713 farmers. More than 80% of the funds went to soybean farmers, the AP found, though funds were available for growers of nine commodities the USDA identified as tariff-affected. The data show many farms received multiple payments. Payout amounts for Missouri farms ranged from one buck to more than $700,000 with a median amount of about $904. Those who run Kansas farms received nearly twice as many bailout checks: they ranged from $1 to more than $468,000 with a median payout of $744. A Missouri-based company cashed in the most from the program. The DeLine Farms Partnership and two similar companies registered at the same address in Charleston, Missouri, collected nearly $2.8 million combined, the AP reported. While registered in Missouri, the physical farm sits south of the border in Arkansas. A lawyer representing the group did not respond to The Star's request for comment. In the five counties that make up the Kansas City area — Jackson, Clay and Platte in Missouri, along with Wyandotte and Johnson in Kansas — farms brought in combined checks of more than $10 million. In Missouri, farms in New Madrid County in the Bootheel brought in the most bailout money with more than $21 million. In Kansas, Sumner County, south of Wichita, received the most with about $13.6 million. The Star's review found other public officials signing onto the program. Kevin Chinn, the husband of Missouri's Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn, raked in a combined $135,858 to help recover from corn, soybean and pork losses. Chris Chinn's office did not respond to requests for comment. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Missouri, a farmer from Tarkio, didn't participate in the program, according to his office. "Rep. Graves hasn't received a farm payment in almost 20 years and isn't part of the program so he wouldn't be eligible anyway," said Bryan Nichols, Graves' spokesman. Graves stopped accepting farm subsidies after taking office in 2001. However, both Graves' father, Samuel B. Graves, and son, Samuel B. Graves III, did receive payments for the 2018 crop. The congressman's father received $23,146 for losses on soybean and corn, while his son took in $21,582. The administration has changed its bailout formula for the 2019 crop, moving away from a formula based on the number of bushels harvested

Mr.

toward one that pays per acre of planted crop. That, along with increased funding for the bailout program this year, may increase future checks. Blake Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, said it's hard to tell when things may turn around for the industry. "This is just not a good situation," he said. "The administration would argue it's short-term pain for a longerterm gain. And we shall see. But we're two years in and it's hard to see what gain we've had so far." Hurst received $21,950 in soybean trade assistance for his Tarkio family farm. He said farmers have largely cheered the president's tough stance toward China, but not his aggression toward North American trading partners. "I think most farmers make a distinction between China and these other trade disputes," he said, "and have a great deal more patience trying to fix things with China and wonder why in the hell were picking fights with Canada or Mexico." A study from the University of Missouri's Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute concluded that some farmers may be over compensated by the federal program. The study estimated that the market price impact on soybeans from retaliatory tariffs cost farmers about 78 cents per bushel. But the 2018 program reimbursed up to $1.65 per bushel. "But that's not the full story," said Patrick Westhoff, director of the institute and a professor of agriculture and applied economics. "It's a larger question of how do you define the loss." For instance, a side-by-side analysis doesn't consider the impact depressed soybean prices have on corn prices. Likewise, it ignores the fact that an outbreak of African swine fever in China reduced demand for U.S. soybeans there. While the bailout payments are so far targeted at compensating losses on 2018 and 2019 crops, Westhoff said farmers would likely feel the effects for years to come. "It definitely depends on the particular producers and the particulars of their operation," he said. "It is certainly true that these buyout payments do appear to be compensating folks for a lot of their losses, if not 100% of their losses in some cases." The agricultural economy has been sinking for several years in Missouri and across the country. Total Missouri farm income topped $10 billion in 2017, Westhoff said. But net farm income, or profits, only reached about $1.7 billion — a figure that topped $3 billion only a few years before. In that context, Westhoff said the $444 million in government checks mailed to Missouri farmers was significant. "If you're near break even," he said, "every penny matters." republican-times.com republican-times.com

don't care enough to change their habits. Of course, they do not realize the long-term damage they may be doing, including dangers of infection and disease. Anything I can do to help them? We're very close, so my brother and his wife would not see it as budding in. They'd welcome a solution. -- Brushless in Baton Rouge Dear Brushless: While this may seem like a molehill of a problem now, a mountain of plaque buildup on your niece's and nephew's teeth is a huge problem. This is a fight worth fighting. Since they are teenagers, explain to them the diseases and long-term damage that they are at risk of if they fail to brush their teeth. Showing them actual pictures of decayed teeth, while disturbing to look at, could be powerful motivators. Being upfront about the cost of the dental work, and what their family could have spent money on instead -- vacation, shopping, extracurricular activities -- might have them see the impact of their poor dental hygiene in a new way, too.

Dear Annie: Recently, I stayed with my niece and nephew while my brother and his wife took a trip. This seems like a trivial problem, but I know it can lead to serious health issues in the long run. Neither of my brother's teenaged kids brushed their teeth regularly. I reminded them often, but they found ways to wiggle out of it. One was even running the electric toothbrush outside of his mouth -- so I would think he was brushing his teeth. When I went into the bathroom afterward, the electric toothbrush was bone dry. His sister later told me about that trick. I asked my brother about this, and he said they've tried for years to get the kids to brush their teeth more consistently. They gave them excellent electric toothbrushes and set a great example of brushing at least twice a day themselves. If they try to watch the kids brushing, it turns into a huge fight every time. They've spent hundreds of dollars on dental care as a result. They're at a loss as to what to do. The kids understand it's important but just

ear Annie

Perhaps your brother and his wife could try incentives or rewards for completed brushings. It takes roughly two months to form a good habit. So, when setting the reward, have that goal in mind. When they do brush their teeth or get a good cleaning, take a moment to point out just feel how good it feels to be clean and taking care of your body. Naturally, as humans, we like to be clean. Also, continue to have their dentist talk to your niece and nephew about the importance of dental hygiene. Dear Annie: I am the person who wrote to you, and you responded in your column, "Dreading Wife's Reaction." I haven't talked with my children about the discovery of another son but plan to do so in the very near future. I just want to thank you for your advice and to let you know that I appreciate your clear thinking on the matter. I am sure your column has helped many people, and I will count myself among them. -Faithful Reader Dear Reader: Thank you for your kind words. Good luck with your upcoming conversation with your children. I love hearing follow-ups from readers. Remember, the truth will set you free!

Back on the blacklist

For the first time since the original “Lion King” hit movie theaters, China is back on America’s currency blacklist. In an Aug. 5 about-face, the Treasury Department declared China a currency manipulator for the first time since 1994. The designation could lead to U.S. sanctions. But it mostly symbolizes hostility between the world’s two biggest economies, which are fighting over China’s aggressive trade policies. In May, Treasury passed up a chance to blacklist China. But it reversed itself hours after President Donald Trump accused China of currency manipulation. Infuriating

Trump, the Chinese central bank let the yuan dip to an 11-year low — breaching the symbolic benchmark of seven yuan to the dollar (14.3 cents per yuan). The devaluation helps Chinese exporters and eases the pain from Trump taxes on Chinese imports, but it also reflects reality: China’s economy is slowing, and market pressure is pulling the yuan down. The central bank had been buying yuan to slow the drop. Last week, says Joe Manimbo of Western Union Business Solutions: “They just stopped supporting it and let market forces take over.’’
