SCHOOL NEWS Trenton R-9, Pleasant View R-6
Trenton, Pleasant View Boards Hold Meetings The Trenton R-9 Board of Education approved a new provider for employee health insurance during a special meeting on Monday at the district office, but scheduled another special meeting for Thursday afternoon to further discuss the issue. On a 6-1 vote, the board agreed to use United Healthcare as its insurance provider for the 2019-20 school year. The cost will be $601 per month, per employee, with the board agreeing to pay the entire cost. Superintendent Dan Wiebers said that as part of the motion, the board voted to cap what it will pay for employee
insurance at $602, which was amended from an original motion to cap the cost at $600 and would have required employees to pay $1. Board Secretary Susan Leeper said Thursday morning that the special meeting set for that afternoon was being held due to numbers coming in a little different than what had been expected. The board was scheduled to discuss that development in a 2:30 p.m. meeting on Thursday. Marcie Cutsinger cast the lone no vote, stating her concern about the cost of the buyup plan for additional See Schools, Page 7
CITY NEWS Spickard City Council
Spickard City Council Meets, Rescinds Budget Residents of Spickard are seeing some action at city hall as the 2019 budget was rescinded during a meeting Wednesday night. Maggie George, who serves on the city council, said the group met Wednesday evening with several members of the public in attendance. The council voted to rescind the 2019 budget, which included large increases in sewer and water rates, and will be preparing a new budget that will show a more moderate increase in the rates. She said the rate increase will still be necessary, but will not be as drastic as was approved by the council earlier this spring. The increases are being considered due to mandatory improvements to
the sewer/lagoon system. In other business, J.R. Roberts was appointed to serve as a councilman, which now gives the community a full council. Mrs. George, Charles Holtclaw and Daniel Chapman also serve as councilpersons, while Alan Tharp has been named the mayor. Other action taken Tuesday night was the hiring of Jennifer Roberts as part-time city clerk. She plans to be in the office on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. Mrs. George said the council will hold another special meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 29 at the Wise Community Center to discuss the budget. The next regular meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, June 10.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD
Class 3, Section 4
Girls 4x4, Moore Return To Odessa, Advance To State The Trenton High School girls 4x400-meter relay team had to wait for its opportunity to qualify for state. The team with the fourth-fastest time in the state for the event boarded a bus, along with Maci Moore, on Monday and traveled back to Odessa to finish the Class 3, Section 4 track meet that was washed out prior to conclusion on Saturday. The return trip was worth it as Lexi Whitaker, Lexi Gott, McKayla Blackburn and Kristi Ewing combined to win the 4x400 with a time of 4:06.62. Moore also pushed through to state, finishing third in the high jump with a personal best mark of 4-11. “I think they were more focused,”
Trenton Coach Chris Parks said. “There was just a small group of them and they only had one event to worry about instead of the three or four they are normally in. They could focus on that one area and they went back down there and really excelled. We were only five-tenths away from our school record in the 4x4 and Maci had her personal best in her event, so I think they were really focused.” Before the return trip to Odessa, Whitaker, Ewing and Moore already knew they were going to state. Whitaker qualified on Saturday in the 200-meter dash and 300-meter hurdles while Ewing advanced in the 400-meter dash and Moore moved on
in the shot put. Moore was third in the shot put with a throw of 36-7.5 and Ewing was third in the 400 with a time of 59.74. Whitaker, meanwhile, was fourth in the 200 with a time of 26.84 and fourth in the 300 hurdles with a time of 46.29. Salem Croy and Mykah Hurley will also be competing at state. Croy was third in the javelin with a throw of 113-1. Hurley was fourth in the long jump with a leap of 15-10. For Gott and Blackburn, the 4x400 on Monday was a make or break event. Gott’s 4x200-meter relay team just missed a trip to state with a fifthplace finish on Saturday, while Black-
burn missed qualifying as a part of the 4x800-meter relay team, which finished in seventh on Saturday. They came through with Whitaker and Ewing on Monday, however. Trenton was without a sectional gold medal on Saturday. But the 4x400 team’s win changed that. The Bulldogs gained 10 points in the team standings with the win, which put Trenton in a tie for fifth in the final team standings. Both Trenton and Lamar finished the meet with 64 team points. Holden won the sectional title with 90 points, fending off runner-up Lawson’s total of 74 points. Knob Noster and Odessa were tied for third with 65 points each.
The 4x400 team’s time of 4:06.62 pushed the school record for the event, set in 2012 by Chandler Wilson, Mackenzie Mack, Scotlin Hurley and Maddie Hooyman. That group set the school mark with a time of 4:06.13. This year’s team will have one-to-two chances to break the record at the state meet. Preliminaries will run on day one of the event and the finals, should the team advance in the prelims, will take place on day two. The MSHSAA Track and Field Championships at Pete Adkins Stadium in Jefferson City have been suspended. No date had been set for the make-up as of press time.

Emergency services personnel from Grundy County took part in the 2019 Law Enforcement Torch Run on May 22, running in the northwest region of the event. The torch is carried in honor of the Special Olympics, which will hold opening ceremonies for its summer games in Springfield on May 31.

The Republican-Times welcomes letters from its readers. We require that all letters to the editor be signed by the writer, including a telephone number where the writer can be reached. The writer’s name will be published. Subject matter of the letters is limited to issues and matters of local interest to the general public.

The publisher reserves the right to reject any letter submitted for publication.
No Technology - Not So Bad You never know how much you rely on technology until your service goes out. Such was the case on Monday afternoon when AT&T and Mid-State Services lost service due to an AT&T fiber line being broken and affecting customers in Trenton. Those with land lines and cellphones served by AT&T were without telephone service throughout much of the day and evening as well as those who use AT&T as their Internet provider. We were fortunate enough to get our Tuesday’s newspaDiane Lowrey per put together and electronically sent to the printer prior to the outage, allowing us to get the Republican-Times to our customers on time. At our house, we are AT&T users for our land line phone service, cellphone service and Internet, through which we also operate our television service (Mid-States fiber is on its way). With no way to communicate with the outside world, we had to find some creative ways to spend the evening. Stan and I got out a few old LPs, turned on the stereo turntable and played some music that we hadn’t heard for quite a while. We also read some old newspapers and newspaper clippings that we’ve collected over the years, getting a few chuckles and remembering some people who are no longer with us. Time passed pretty quickly and I really didn’t miss having the Internet or television, at least not for Monday night anyway. ********** Memorial Day will be celebrated in Trenton on Monday, May 27 with a ceremony at the Grundy County Museum’s Baker School, beginning at 10 a.m. Members of Joseph L. Norton VFW Post No. 919 will raise the U.S. flag at the school, followed by patriotic remarks from Ruth Ann Shipps of Spickard, a 22-year military veteran who has been involved in several deployments overseas. The public is invited to attend the ceremony, which will be followed by the opening of the museum for the 2019 season. The museum is open on weekends and holidays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Rural Missouri Celebrates Successful Legislative Session by Eric Bohl, Director of Public Affairs Missouri Farm Bureau
This year’s legislative session was historic for Missouri agriculture. The General Assembly passed many bills supporting farming and addressing concerns in rural communities.
Guest Editorials The biggest victory for family farmers was the passage of SB 391. This new law prevents counties from implementing local ordinances “that are inconsistent with or more stringent than� Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulations on animal operations. Some counties have enacted anti-agriculture ordinances based on fear mongering rather than science. Ensuring that regulations are sciencebased is best for animals, the environment and the rural economy. Expanding broadband access will also help our rural communities grow in the modern economy. MOFB has been a leading proponent of increased broadband access for several years. In January, Governor Parson suggested a $5 million appropriation to the Rural Broadband Development Fund. This fund will offer grants to defray installation costs to bring broad-
band to unserved or underserved areas. The legislature chose to fully fund this request, which is a huge win for rural Missouri. Wind and solar energy are becoming more widespread across Missouri. The legislature acted to ensure tax revenue from commercial wind farms remain in local communities. Under prior law, these taxes would have been taken out of the local area and spread thinly across the state. The people who host the wind and solar farms should also get their tax benefit. Governor Parson also spearheaded a plan to repair 215 bridges across Missouri through a $301 million bonding proposal. This plan will only move forward if Missouri obtains a federal grant to help replace the Missouri River bridge on I-70 near Rocheport. MOFB sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation in support of this grant application. This will not solve our state’s infrastructure woes, but it will be a big step in the right direction. Not every issue was resolved this session. When the Public Service Commission granted eminent domain powers to a private merchant electric-
ity transmission line, hundreds of Missourians rallied at the capitol to stop this abuse of property rights. The House voted overwhelmingly to prohibit merchant transmission lines from using eminent domain. Unfortunately a handful of senators prevented the Senate from addressing the issue. This obstruction handed out-of-state energy companies the right to take our land for private money-making ventures. While we are disappointed, our fight on behalf of Missouri landowners will continue. Every session leaves some items unaddressed, but on balance this was one of the most successful in recent memory for the citizens of rural Missouri. Having a governor who is a lifelong farmer clearly made a difference. Governor Parson has signaled his support for all of these bills and is expected to sign them into law. We are grateful for his leadership on these issues, as well as the many leaders in the House and Senate who worked tirelessly to complete them. When rural Missouri thrives, our entire state thrives. We look forward to building on this year’s progress in the years to come.

FSA Accepting Applications For Various CRP Signups USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) continuous signup and will offer extensions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs. “USDA offers a variety of conservation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Reserve Program is an important tool for private lands management,� said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.� FSA stopped accepting applications last fall for the CRP continuous signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully analyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program. Continuous CRP Signup This year’s signup will include such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of practices approved for this program. Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in duration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive payments will not be offered for these contracts. Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Signup FSA will also reopen signup for existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program
(CREP) agreements. Fact sheets on current CREP agreements are available on this webpage. Other CRP Signup Options Fordyce said FSA plans to open a CRP general signup in December 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later. CRP Contract Extensions A one-year extension will be offered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eligible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options. Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which provides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group. More Information On December 20, 2018, President Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and supporting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effectively as possible, and today’s updates are part of meeting that goal. Producers interested in applying for CRP continuous practices, including those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an extension, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit www.farmers.gov. More information on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

SPOTTY PROLONGED RAINFALL DELAYS FARMING PLANS, PRICES ADD TO HURT Now I know why farmers complain about spotty rains. Last week spotty rain fell on me. When I first looked out, bright sun was everywhere. By the time I got out the door, rain started. Big drops splatted the sidewalk. When I got to my car, I was wet. Looking straight up I saw the little cloud responsible. A cloud no wider than my apartment building dropped rain. No other clouds close. Spotty rains plague farmers trying to plant crops or bale hay. Widespread rains are rare. Adjoined neighbors receive different rainfalls. At harvest last fall, farmers noted yields varied from one end of a field to the other. Forage farmers found different nitrate levels across hayfields. Spotty rains affect nitrates. Weekly MU Extension teleconferences reveal tales of frustration from too much rain in wrong places. With delayed planting, farmers fret about when or even if to plant. Word from state specialists says stay with planting plans. If corn was planned, still plant corn. Over ages this changed. Early research showed that mid-May was corn planting cut off. Like many things, changes were made in corn. Modern
MADRID, Iowa (AP) — Iowa farmer Tim Bardole survived years of low crop prices and rising costs by cutting back on fertilizer and herbicides and fixing broken-down equipment rather than buying new. When President Donald Trump's trade war with China made a miserable situation worse, Bardole used up any equity his operation had and started investing in hogs in hopes they'll do better than crops. A year later, the dispute is still raging and soybeans hit a 10-year-low. But Bardole says he supports his president more today than he did when he cast a ballot for Trump in 2016, skeptical he would follow through on his promises. "He does really seem to be fighting for us," Bardole says, "even if it feels like the two sides are throwing punches and we're in the middle, taking most of the hits." Trump won the presidency

Hemp Production Increasing SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Washington state farmers have committed to plant significantly more hemp than they did in the previous two years, officials said. Farmers plan to plant more than 9 square miles (or 23 square kilometers) of hemp this year, Capital Press reported Wednesday. The state Department of Agriculture licensed 35 growers as of May 21, including 21 who also obtained licenses to process hemp. Another 20 to 25 applications are awaiting review, an official said. The surge began after the 2018 Farm Bill took hemp off the federally controlled substances list and Washington state lawmakers responded by lifting other restrictions. Washington's Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee signed the hemp bill in April and the number of licensed farmers doubled in two weeks. "There will be more," said Industrial Hemp Association of Washington lobbyist Bonny Jo Peterson. Hemp can now be grown in Washington for CBD oil, which is marketed for pain, stress and illnesses including cancer, seizures and constipation. The Food and Drug Administration says some applications go too far and violate the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

hybrids still make a crop when planted late. Greg Luce, MU Extension agronomist who has much experience with hybrid corn, now says plant corn until June 10. That’s way past old rules of thumb. He threw in another tip: Stick with full-season hybrids don’t shift to short-season numbers, the old school Similar advice came from Bill Wiebold, MU agronomist known as “Soy Doc.� He studies dates of planting. Wiebold added that variety switches are about impossible. There are seed shortages. “Any available variety probably isn’t what you want.� Soybean farmers delayed planting when getting soil temperatures above desired 55 degrees was tough. That 55degree target isn’t just for a couple of hours in a day. Soil should stay warm once it reaches that goal. Soybean hybrids improved as well. Yields hang in there. Farmers faced major concerns about weather in planting season of April and May. In an early teleconference Wiebold pointed out that crucial weather months are July and August. Timely rain at pollination in July determines corn yields. For soybeans, as seen in recent years, good rain in Au-
gust, after July droughts makes bumper crops. Lack of rain at seed set for corn or beans makes for crop failure. Timely rain late sets the year’s bean yield. On top of weather worries, this year soybean farmers are hit hard as drops in exports sales lower crop prices sharply. Unplanned trade wars with China hurt America’s farmers. An initial tariff jab at China was bad but a second whack was too much. Commenters noted that China leaders made strategic retaliations at red states. That includes Missouri where soybeans are our top crop in a state where agriculture is No. 1 income. Even though China has a strong authoritarian leader, he listens to economic advisors. Their strike-backs to our tariff hit hard. In contrast, a little reported story last week told the resigning of USDA economists. Our advisors are ignored by our leaders. Bright news was unified news releases from U.S. commodity groups after the second wave of tariff strikes. Agriculture in total hurts. Livestock prices, not just soybeans, suffer. Missouri Soybean growers have a powerful message to tell about their years spent opening trade with China. Bean and pork sales made major response cutting our trade deficit with China. Farm sales brought China money to Missouri. We can be proud of forward thinking farm leaders. Your feedback to: duanedailey7@gmail.com
by winning rural America, in part by pledging to use his business savvy and tough negotiating skills to take on China and put an end to trade practices that have hurt farmers for years. While the prolonged fight has been devastating to an already-struggling agriculture industry, there's little indication Trump is paying a political price. But there's a big potential upside if he can get a better deal — and little downside if he continues to get credit for trying for the farmers caught in the middle. It's a calculation Trump recognizes heading into a reelection bid where he needs to hold on to farm states like Iowa and Wisconsin and is looking to flip others, like Minnesota. A March CNN/Des Moines Register poll of registered Republicans in Iowa found 81% approved of how Trump is handling his job, and 82% had a favorable view of the president, an increase of 5 points since December. About twothirds said they'd definitely vote to re-elect him. The poll had a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.

last summer, China targeted its first round of tariffs on producers in agricultural and manufacturing states that were crucial to Trump's 2016 victory, such as Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Particularly hard hit were producers of soybeans, the country's largest farm export. The most recent round of trade talks between the Trump administration and China broke up earlier this month without an agreement, after Trump accused China of backing out on agreed-to parts of a deal and hiked tariffs on $200 billion of imports from China. China imposed retaliatory tariff hikes on $60 billion of American goods, and in the U.S. the price of soybeans fell to a 10-year low on fears of a protracted trade war. U.S. officials then listed $300 billion more of Chinese goods for possible tariff hikes. To partially offset the plunge in sales caused by the tariffs, Trump has promised an aid package, some $15 billion for farmers and ranchers, following $11 billion in relief payments last year. Beside the help prompted by the tariff dispute, a farm bill that Congress approves every five years provides farmers with hundreds of millions in additional federal aid.

A February poll by the same organizations found 46% of Iowans approved of the job Trump was doing — his highest approval rating since taking office — while 50% said they disapprove. The margin of error was 3.5 percentage points. Many farmers are lifelong Republicans who like other things Trump has done, such as reining in the EPA and tackling illegal immigration, and believe he's better for their interests than most Democrats even on his worst day. They give him credit for doing something previous presidents of both parties mostly talked about. And now that they've struggled for this long, they want to see him finish the job — and soon. "We are the frontline soldiers getting killed as this trade war goes on," said Paul Jeschke, who grows corn and soybeans in northern Illinois, where he's about to plant his 45th crop. "I'm unhappy and I think most of us are unhappy with the situation. But most of us understand the merits," he added. "And it's not like anyone else would be better. The smooth-talking presidents we've had recently - they certainly didn't get anything done." When the trade war started

In addition, character education is a major focus of the school as each month a different character trait is highlighted throughout the month. Outside of the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in concert band, yearbook, cheerleading, boys and girls track and boys and girls basketball. The small school structure of Pleasant View allows for interaction among all grade levels - preschool through eighth grade, Mrs. Steinhoff said. Middle school students mentor and tutor preschool and elementary students, thus fostering leadership skills. Students work together on community and school service projects, school programs and weekly school-wide assemblies. Pleasant View’s faculty has more than 150 years of teaching experience with over half holding a master’s degree or higher. Additionally, the school is supported by the Community Club. The club consists of all Pleasant View families and community members. The organization supports the school by coordinating fundraising for educational outings, classroom supplies and teacher supplies.

take turns gallery-sitting and generally get together for a monthly meeting. One difficult topic I don't know how to address is that one or some of the men pee on the bathroom floor. Personally, I don't clean up after men, but this situation bothers me. I would like to address it but do not know how. I welcome your thoughts. -- Not a Handmaid Dear Not a Handmaid: The way to address this situation is head on. Hold a meeting with all members of your coop and explain the problem. This will give everyone the chance to know about the problem, and to air out any other cleanliness concerns. Tell the men that if they miss the bowl and some of their spray winds up on the bathroom floor, they need to clean up after themselves. Violation of this will result in being asked to leave the coop. Hygiene is important in any work place. Perhaps the men are not aware that they are doing it. So now that you have made them aware, there should be no more sticky floors. Keep some baking soda and vinegar in the bathroom. If there are reoffenders, they should make a paste with these ingredients to clean up their mess.

Dear Annie: Over the summer, my sister was raped. She chose not to report it. She was at a house party when it happened. She doesn't know who did it. She confided in me the morning after, and I urged her to report so that the person who did it could be prosecuted and, hopefully, kept from harming more people. But I also saw that it was ultimately her decision and she needed to do what was best for her psyche. I'm still in a very dark place about all this, but I can't talk to her about it. First of all, I'm sure talking about it would trigger her, make her more anxious than she already is. Secondly, if I tell her I'm really distressed over this, she'll feel like a burden, like she shouldn't have confided in me. What should I do? I want to do what's best for my sister, and I also need to restore my sanity. I feel sick just thinking about all this. -- Saddened Sister Dear Saddened Sister: My heart goes out to your sister. I am so sorry that she had to endure trauma. Your feelings of sickness are completely valid.
The repercussions from rape can literally be sickening to all those affected by it. The first step is to do exactly what you did: Listen without offering any judgment. Simply listening and validating whatever she tells you are the right steps. If she decides later to report the incident, you can offer to take her to the police station. While she is processing her emotions, talking through her things with trained professions could also help. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is 800656-HOPE (4673). You sound like a very sensitive sister, and one thing I would like to point out to other readers is that if your friend or family member is the victim of sexual assault, avoid any possible victim blaming questions. For example, "What were you wearing?" I am so glad that you took the time to write, not only because you bring up an important issue but also because it is important that you take care of yourself. Helping your sister can leave you feeling depleted and exhausted. Dear Annie: I am a member of an artists' coop gallery. We

Facebook’s privacy concerns Facebook and its investors are waiting to see how hard the Federal Trade Commission comes down on the social media company for privacy violations. The FTC opened an investigation into Facebook last year related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and whether it violated a 2011 settlement between Facebook and the government. Last month, Facebook set aside $3 billion for a possible fine, which it said could be as high as $5 billion. The FTC can take other measures besides a fine. Those include holding CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally responsible for the
violations, placing limits on Facebook’s data collection activities and even putting a monitor inside the company. A monetary penalty by itself likely won’t hurt Facebook’s stock, which is up 42% so far this year. The company posted $56 billion in revenue in 2018. Of more concern to investors would be restrictions on how Facebook tracks users, which could hurt its advertising revenue. In addition, some lawmakers and potential presidential candidates have called for breaking up the company. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter believes a fine “will be the end of it” under the business-friendly Trump administration.
Facebook (FB) awaits FTC move $250
Awaiting judgment: Privacy issues have dogged Facebook’s stock. The company told investors in April its expects a fine from the Federal Trade Commission.
Reports: Firm improperly obtained data on millions of FB users.

Memorial Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, honors the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving in the American military. Many communities host memorial ceremonies honoring their fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, ensuring such soldiers’ bravery and sacrifices are never forgotten. While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer, the weekend should not be celebrated without also pausing to reflect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives in defense of freedom and the American way of life.
