The Trenton City Council will meet in regular session at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 9 at city hall.

The meeting agenda was not available for publication as of press time.The agenda will be published on the Republican-Times website, www.republican-times.com, as soon as it becomes available.

Plans to rezone property in west Trenton for a new Dollar General building received lots of discussion during a public hearing held on Monday night by the Trenton Planning and Zoning Commission.

The commission heard a request from Warren (Scott) and Carolyn Forman on behalf of Overland Group LLC to rezone property at 132 W. Fourth St. from R-3, one- and two-family dwelling lower density, to B-2, community business. According to Assistant City Clerk Tracy Maberry, the Overland Group plans to construct a building at the site that would house Dollar General.

Eight current and/or former property owners attended the meeting to voice their opposition to the request, citing concerns of having a business located in an area zoned for residential use. Some had re-

The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session on Tuesday, July 10 at the courthouse.

Items on the announced agenda include a 10 a.m. meeting with Ambulance Director Steve Tracy, followed by the ribbon cutting at Nestle at 11 a.m. The commission also plans to meet with Meredith Berry of the University of Missouri Extension during the day.

At the July 3 meeting, the commission tabled the closing of NE Talc Lane until more information can be gathered concerning how a bridge on that road is to be handled in regard to Community Development Block Grant funds. The closing had been requested by Preston Jawahir, who had presented a petition to the commission in April. By statute, the commission could not consider the request until the first meeting of the next quarter.

Guillory Gives Pirates Point Guard Option

North Central’s Size Helped Land Recruit

By Cody Thorn Platte County Citizen Park Hill South senior Dymeria Guillory recently inked a national letter of intent to join the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball program, bypassing offers from other junior colleges and a Division III school. “It is a small school,� said Guillory, who often goes by DK. “I didn’t want to jump into a big college scene. I work better in a smaller setting and smaller classes. I thought this was a good way to start.�

The Pirates went 23-10 last year and won the NJCAA Region 16, but lost in the

THE WORLD CUP

regional playoffs, coming up a game shy of the national tournament.

The 5-6 Guillory will be a point guard for coach Jenni Croy. “DK is a very unselfish player on the court,� Croy said. “She’s the type of player who passes up her shot to make sure the team gets the best shot possible. We are excited to add DK to our program. She is extremely quick and will provide us the speed we are looking for at the guard position.�

Guillory was an all-conference and alldistrict pick the past two years and was an all-state track performer in 2016. This past

year, she helped the Panthers reach the district finals, where they came up short against North Kansas City, ranked No. 1 in Class 5.

She averaged 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game during her senior season at Park Hill South. “I’m excited that Dymeria is able to continue playing basketball at NCMC,�

Park Hill South coach Josh Dorr said. “It will be a great opportunity for her to get an education, while still continuing to play. She will definitely be an asset for them.�

Star HasnĘźt Scored In Four World Cup Matches

Sweden’s Berg Still Goaless At World Cup ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Sweden striker Marcus Berg has scored everywhere he has played, except the World Cup. The 31-year-old Berg has failed to find the net so far in Russia, including a miss in the 1-0 victory over Switzerland that put Sweden into the quarterfinals for the first time since the 1994 tournament. But he is expected to be on the field again when his team faces England, which finally won a penalty shootout at the World Cup on Tuesday.

"He's there. It's just a matter of time," Sweden coach Janne Andersson said after Emil Forsberg's deflected shot was enough to beat Switzerland.

"Marcus is putting in an excellent performance in this match."

Berg looked to have emerged from the long shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he notched eight goals in World

Cup qualifying, but he now has gone four World Cup matches without getting another.

It was the same story two years ago, when he was goalless at the European Championship in France, Ibrahimovic's last tournament before he retired from international soccer, as Sweden was eliminated after the group stage.

With a tactical game built on a foundation of rugged defense, Sweden looks to its forwards to convert the few chances that fall to them in tight matches. So far in Russia, Berg has missed his shots or seen them saved. In 61 international appearances, Berg has scored 18 goals.

His drought in Russia comes in the wake of a prolific season for the latest in a long line of clubs. He was the standout player last season for Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, scoring 25 goals in 21 matches to lead his team to the league

and cup double.

He has also prospered against lower level opposition in World Cup qualifying, including scoring four when Sweden routed Luxembourg 80. A month earlier, however, Luxembourg had held European Championship runner-up France to a frustrating 0-0 draw in another World Cup qualifier.

Berg's first major team was Swedish club Goteborg, where he scored 21 goals in 53 appearances. He raised his scoring rate at Dutch club FC Groningen, with 32 goals in 56 appearances, earning him a transfer to the Bundesliga. At Hamburg, Berg could only manage five goals in 54 matches before being loaned to PSV Eindhoven.

Berg rediscovered his scoring touch at Greek club Panathinaikos, scoring 65 goals in 99 appearances before his transfer to Al Ain.

UFC 226

After his most successful domestic club season, the goals have dried up in Russia in what, given his age, could be his last World Cup. Berg started all three group matches as Sweden beat South Korea on a penalty by captain Andreas Granqvist in its opening match, lost to Germany 21 and beat Mexico 3-0.

Berg came close to scoring against Germany but appeared to be fouled in the area. No penalty was awarded and the Swedes were angry that the video review was not called upon to check the play.

That chance and the others Berg has had in Russia show that he is putting himself in position to score. And his coach is sure he will again do just that, hopefully against England on Saturday in Samara.

"The goals will come, that's the way it is in football," Andersson said. "Once a scorer, always a scorer."

Porter Signs Multiyear Deal

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets have agreed to a multiyear deal with rookie forward Michael Porter Jr. Porter was taken by the Nuggets with the 14th overall pick in the draft last month. He was considered a top-five selection before a back injury that required surgery limited him to three games at Missouri in 2017-18.

The 6-foot-10 Porter was hampered by back and hip soreness during pre-draft workouts. He recently said he's ready to go.

Porter averaged 36.2 points and 13.6 rebounds his senior year at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle. He was the MVP of the McDonald's All-American Game and won both the Naismith and Gatorade player of the year awards.

Sporting KC Knocked Out Of First

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Sebastian Saucedo scored from the top of the box at the end of the first half and Real Salt Lake knocked Sporting Kansas City out of first place in the Western Conference with a 4-2 win Wednesday night.

Sporting KC (9-4-5) has lost two straight and trails FC Dallas by three points in the West.

RSL (8-8-2) led 3-1 at intermission, but Sporting KC pulled within one when Ike Opara scored on a cross by Johnny Russell in the 64th minute.

Tim Melia kept the Sporting KC comeback alive by denying Albert Rusnak's penalty kick in the 80th minute, but Daniel Salloi was sent off in the 90th minute and Roger Espinoza earned a red card in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Concussion Symptoms Keeping Fighter Off UFC 226 Card LAS VEGAS (AP) — UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway's representatives say he is dropping out of his title defense against Brian Ortega at UFC 226 this weekend due to apparent concussion symptoms.

Holloway's management team announced the decision in a statement issued Wednesday night, three days before the bout.

The UFC didn't immediately confirm any changes to the penultimate bout on its biggest show of the summer.

"Max's team and UFC staff noticed Max was not normal since late last week," the statement from Holloway's camp said.

Holloway's camp indicated the champion stayed overnight in an emergency room Monday before he had even started his weight cut for the bout.

Holloway was taken to an emergency room again Wednesday after awakening groggily from a nap following an open workout for fans at the MGM Grand.

"Max fought with his team

to continue with the fight," the statement said. "He showed some improvement (from Tuesday to Wednesday) but was still showing obvious symptoms. After open workouts he crashed and was very hard to wake up. When he did, he had flashing vision and slurred speech."

In an interview earlier Wednesday, Holloway (19-3) said he was particularly excited about fighting on the UFC's International Fight Week card, held annually in Las Vegas near the Fourth of

July holiday. He was eager to fight in front of a large group of fans traveling to Vegas from his native Hawaii.

He was also excited to fight on a card with Daniel Cormier, his close friend and the UFC light heavyweight champion, who is moving up to challenge heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic in the main event.

"Glad to be back in action," Holloway said. "Glad to be rocking and rolling. This week is going to be special. ... I feel blessed. It's a huge fight for sure, and I'm just so grateful and so thankful to be part of a week like this. People don't understand. This is the Super Bowl of the UFC. There's two fight cards you want to get on: The International Fight Week or the end-of-the-year card, and I got on one of them."

IT’S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE, BUT YOU CAN FIND YOUR HOME ON THE INTERNET WHEN YOU CLICK ON:

The 26-year-old Holloway is one of the UFC's most dominant and most charismatic champions, but he has been pulled from three prospective bouts this year due to three apparently different health problems.

Holloway initially was scheduled to defend his belt against former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 222 on March 3, but he was pulled from the bout in early February due to a leg injury.

Holloway then volunteered to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight belt on six days' notice in early April after Tony Ferguson dropped out of the much-anticipated title bout with an injury.

But Holloway couldn't make the weight cut in time, with

Holloway last fought in December, when he stopped former champ Jose Aldo for the second consecutive time. He won the interim featherweight title by beating Anthony Pettis in December 2016, and he took the undisputed title with his first victory over Aldo last June.

He has won 12 consecutive fights since losing a decision to Conor McGregor in August 2013.

Ortega (14-0) was up next for Holloway after the Los Angeles-area native extended his unbeaten career in March with a knockout victory over Edgar.

The UFC could put Ortega into a replacement fight on short notice, or it could give an interim title shot to Ortega in the near future.

The UFC's International Fight Week show has lost a major fight due to injury for the fourth consecutive year, including three straight years during the week of the fight.

Last July, bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes dropped out of her bout with Valentina Shevchenko just a few hours before the show with an illness.

In 2016, Jon Jones was scheduled for a light heavyweight title rematch with Cormier, but Jones was pulled three days before the show due to a violation of the UFC's anti-doping policy.

The Final Word

TRENTON REPUBLICAN-TIMES, DAILY, TRENTON, MO.

Op/Ed

by Diane Lowrey

I Donʼt Want To Brag, But...

I received a photograph from Trenton R-9 Band Instructor Tim Gilham in the e-mail the other day that included his daughter, Emma, and her friend, Claire Utley, who were traveling in Europe with the Missouri Music Ambassadors. He provided me with information about what they were doing and asked if I would be interested in putting this in the newspaper. His final words were, “I always feel a little silly reporting on my own childrenʼs achievements, but I would share this for other students, too.”

Diane Lowrey And we are glad that he did. In fact, Tim has always been great about letting us know what is going on with his students as are many other teachers and staff members in the R-9 School District. We encourage them to let us know what is going on at school as we encourage all of our other readers and community members to give us a heads up about what is happening.

In this world of e-mail and digital photography, it is so easy for people to take their own photo and send it to the newspaper for publication. There are many times when, because of other obligations, we might not have someone available to attend an evening function where a photo is to be taken. That is where someone involved in that particular event can become a Republican-Times photographer/reporter for the night. Most photos, such as new officers, award presentations, etc., can be taken on a cell phone, then forwarded to the newspaper along with information about the photo. A telephone call the next morning can then be made to make sure we got what was sent and for us to get any more information we might need. The same can also be done for individual achievements.

As a local newspaper, we know that local news is what drives our readership. Pictures and stories of local people doing things is what our readers like to see and read about.

If you have news you want to share, you can e-mail it to rtimes@lyn.net or call us at 660-359-2212 during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.).

Your achievements are our news. ********** As chairman of the community fireworks committee, I want to personally thank everyone who, in any way, helped put together this yearʼs fireworks display. It was amazing.

Iʼve had a lot of positive feedback about the display and I want everyone to know, this was a COMMUNITY effort. Thanks to the many businesses, organizations and individuals who made monetary donations to make the display possible - without your help, none of this would have taken place.

We are already making plans for next year and have this yearʼs pyrotechnician, Brian Coursey, already booked for next year. If you would like to make a donation for next yearʼs display, itʼs not too early. Contact Debbie at the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce or myself and weʼll add your money in the 2019 fireworks display fund. As Iʼve been telling everyone - More Money, More Fireworks.

Community Fireworks Display Receives Kudos Letters to the Editor

To The Editor: “Trenton you did good.” The fireworks on Tuesday night were beautiful in the night sky. Kids all

around me were selecting their favorites in color and sound. The best comment I heard was from my four-year-old grandson who told his mom as he held his hand over his chest, “My heart beats each time the bomb goes off.”

The Doorʼs Still Open: Letʼs Talk

A few days ago, a longtime subscriber stopped by our circulation office and asked if he could talk with me. When I met him in the lobby and invited him into the newsroom, he seemed hesitant to say much about his grievances.

He thought he might be bothering me. In fact, he said he had been considering just canceling his paper without saying a word.

Iʼm hoping that the 15 minutes of good discussion we had gave him another perspective of what we do and how we do it in the newsroom.

And his concerns gave me pause and time for consideration.

Thatʼs how itʼs supposed to work in this business. The readers have a voice and a place in the newsroom.

And editors need to listen.

It doesnʼt always go this way. I receive my fair share of angry phone calls, cryptic letters and worse, abusive emails. While some of the comments left on our Facebook page are insulting and feel personal, it goes with the territory.

There have been only a few instances in my history here at the Globe that police have ever been contacted over threats made against a reporter or editor. And even then, we did not not seek charges; we just had discussions about precautions we should take.

Leadership and reporters at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, had some of that same type of discussions about Jarrod Warren Ramos, 38, a man who had filed a defamation suit against the paper and a reporter in July 2012. The dispute was over an article that detailed Ramosʼ guilty plea in a 2011 harassment case.

The suit in itself is not unusual.

Newsrooms deal with them. The court eventually dismissed it. But in 2013, social media threats from Ramos started appearing on the

What Others Are Saying....

Red Flags For KCI Project

Edgemoor Infrastructure, the firm chosen to design and build a new, world-class terminal at Kansas City International Airport, recently said the cost for the project has gone up, and the finish date has slipped by almost a year.

Guest Editorials

Both announcements were expected. But they are important warnings signs for the region, the traveling public and for those charged with oversight of the massive project.

The higher price and construction delay suggest the need for much closer scrutiny of progress, or the lack of it, at KCI. The project is now estimated to cost up to $1.4 billion, 40 percent higher than voters were told last November. Airport officials have blamed the increase largely on four extra gates added to the design.

But gates don't cost $100 million each. Cost inflation at the airport is also due to other design changes, costlier materials and construction delays. City Hall, Edgemoor, and the airlines must be much more transparent on cost challenges as the project moves forward.

Remember: The traveling public will pay that additional $400 million, one ticket at a time. Fliers deserve a full explanation of why their costs are going up.

The finish date is even more troubling. In November, voters were told to expect an opening in late 2021. Now the opening is unlikely to happen until late 2022. The delay will increase

newspaperʼs site. Police Chief Timothy Altomare, in national news reports, was quoted as saying his department investigated the comments Ramos allegedly made against the paper in 2013. In a conference call between a detective and the paperʼs legal team that year, the Capital Gazette decided not to pursue charges because of fears it would exacerbate the situation, Altomare said.

In a 2013 police report, an officer wrote that during that call, “I indicated that I did not believe Mr. Ramos was a threat” to the Capitalʼs employees.

“This was based on the contact they have had with him, as only on Twitter and civil court filings. He has not attempted to enter the Capital newspaper building or sent direct threatening correspondence,” the officer wrote.

All of this is familiar to anyone who has worked in a newsroom, particularly crime and court reporters.

Until Thursday.

Thatʼs when Ramos stormed into the paperʼs Annapolis newsroom with a shotgun, killing five employees and leaving two others wounded.

Dead are Gerald Fischman, 61, editorial page editor; Rob Hiaasen, 59, an assistant editor; John McNamara, 56, a staff writer; Rebecca Smith, 34, a sales assistant; and Wendi Winters, 65, who worked in special publications.

Horror spread throughout the Globe. We didnʼt know any of those people, yet we did. We have all those positions here, and suddenly, the faces became our own.

Among the many things the 2011 tornado taught me was that time spent letting my staff talk about their feelings is time well spent. Friday morning we gathered, talked about

costs, while extending the inconvenience for fliers who will have to navigate a construction zone to use KCI for several additional months.

Edgemoor and airport officials have offered several dog-atemy-homework explanations for the slipping schedule. Kansas Citians will accept those excuses just once. They should not countenance any further delays.

City Council members are quietly complaining about a lack of transparency from the company chosen for the airport project. They think Edgemoor should be much more open about its work and much more communicative with the public about progress at KCI. We agree. Edgemoor must understand the singular importance of this project: Every eye in the region is watching. This isn't a $100,000 contract for curb repair. It's one of the biggest public works projects in city history. The company should be much more visible and proactive with city leadership, media, community groups and others.

There should be no more surprises.

Stalled labor negotiations are also a concern. We support Edgemoor's position that providing jobs to disadvantaged workers and businesses is more important than a 100 percent union workforce. But as one prominent business leader pointed out to us recently, Edgemoor does business with unions all the time.

Why can't they make a deal?

One explanation for the construction delay is the city's misunderstanding of Federal Aviation Administration rules. The FAA wants the city to wait until environmental assessments are complete before contracts are let. The city didn't know that.

the shooting and how it could potentially change the way we do things in the future or at least make us more cautious.

Joe Hadsall, our social media editor, and one of the nine members of my newsroom who lost their homes on May 22, 2011, reminded me that for weeks, our newsroom was a safe place. It was where we ate, slept and worked.

Not so for the folks who work at the Capital Gazette. They will never forget what they saw and heard.

They will probably never feel safe there again.

The now well-known tweet from Phil Davis, a crime reporter in the newsroom, haunts us all: “There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while youʼre under your desk and then hear the gunman reload.”

There isnʼt a journalist anywhere who was surprised that the paper published and was on doorsteps the next day.

“We are putting out a damn paper,” Capital Gazette journalists pledged. So they picked up the pieces and did the most difficult jobs — and perhaps the most important jobs — of their entire career. They told their own story.

Journalists cannot work without interaction with the public and their readers. They canʼt wall themselves away from potential danger. They cannot hide under desks.

Nor should readers ever hesitate before lodging a complaint or a concern. In 2007, when I was named editor, I vowed my door would always be open to anyone who needed to see me. That will not change in the face of the Capital Gazette shootings.

So letʼs talk. Letʼs solve problems.

Letʼs sometimes agree to disagree.

And to journalists everywhere, letʼs keep putting out a damn paper.

Mistakes are unavoidable on any big project, but this missed communication is a warning flag. It's possible, perhaps likely, that Aviation Director Pat Klein is facing challenges with which he is unfamiliar.

Klein works hard and has the city's interests at heart. But it's time for Kansas City to seek an aviation director familiar with the massive undertaking of building a new airport. It should begin a nationwide search for such a person now. There should be no shortage of candidates eager to apply.

We've argued before for a regional airport authority to oversee operations at the airport. It's a good idea, but one that can't be implemented quickly.

At the same time, the City Council is ill-equipped to give the airport project the attention it deserves. That isn't the fault of elected officials: They've got lots of things to worry about.

That's why Kansas City should create a civilian airport board, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. The oversight board could meet as often as necessary to review the terminal project, hold administrators responsible and communicate with the public and other stakeholders.

Kansas City has a parks board and a port authority but lacks an airport authority. This seems short-sighted with a $1.4 billion project underway.

Mayoral candidates should be asked their views on this idea.

We think the best candidates will endorse it.

Voters made the right choice last November to renew their aging airport. It's now time for stakeholders to deliver what was promised: a world-class facility, on time and at a reasonable price.

DIGITAL ROBOTS KEEPS TABS ON PEOPLE; MAY BE USED TO GUIDE GRAZING COW

The digital age arrived and I wasnĘźt ready. I canĘźt recall my password to read about it.

I spent most of my life with printed pages. I still prefer ink on paper. My grandson canĘźt understand why I donĘźt read ebooks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can carry 50 books with you,â&#x20AC;? he said. But, could I access the book I want to read, Just now opening my laptop, my fingers faltered. I typed the start of the last passcode it took me long to learn. MU requires changing passwords once a year. They want difficult-to-remember mixed upper and lower case letters, numerals and characters. If I use a word in a dictionary a robot stops me to start over.

Right now I canĘźt gain access to Twitter. WhatĘźs my password?

It was Twitter that told of robots now doing what I spent a lifetime learning. Some newspapers use robots to write small everyday stories.

My background interferes with my thinking. When I read the latest on what artificial intelligence (AI) can do, I get sidetracked from AI (artificial insemination). I think of that old AI known to cattle breeders.

Maybe bovine bulls promote

this new AI for me to learn.

Just a day ago, I read that robots can be programmed to write computer code. I leap forward to think that robots will create code to make baby robots. New AI gets mixed with old AI. I see AI robots patrolling University lots where I park.

Until recently, MU hired students to patrol the lots, checking numbers on hangtags on review mirrors. That number should match the lot number. If not, you got a ticket. Parking fines have become revenue generation.

Student patrols are gone.

Now campus security cars go up and down rows of cars. A digital camera reads license plate numbers. No more looking at hangtags. But, that robot program is common on many city police cars. YouĘźve likely been scanned.

And, a recent flush of photos sent by e-mail from campus police ask for help in identifying people. They get IDĘźs quickly. I didnĘźt know there were so many security cameras on campus. But, they help nab wrongdoers.

Now, I did see this week a photo on Twitter of a hearse with a U-Haul trailer in tow. I suspect that is a fake-news joke. No U-Haul for me.

The digital age has come to farm fields. Precision agriculture refines treatment to the many different soil zones in any given field.

This spring I attended a series of MU seminars on new data collection tools. At the Forage System Research Center, MU scientists study different ways to measure grass growth. This may be useful in planning rotations in management-intensive grazing. Robots may guide cows to fresh new grazing paddocks.

The robot measures grass faster than a farmer with a grazing stick. The digital tool may be on a four-wheeler, a drone or a satellite in space.

Digits are gathered many ways.

Farmers will be adapting tools the government uses to keep tabs on people.

Cow-Herd Owners Facing Tough Culling Decisons Limited Food Sources Problematic In dry weather with short pastures, Missouri cow-herd owners face tough culling decisions. One way to match cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs to available grass is to sell cows.

Give careful thought to which grass eaters go first, says Eric Bailey, University of Missouri Extension beef nutritionist. Under drought stress, identifying those cows becomes urgent.

The first cut is simple, Bailey says. Even the best herds have poor performers that need to be culled. Sell cows not pregnant or nursing. There is no feed for freeloaders when forage is short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next, cull lactating cows with bad disposition, bad eyes, bad feet or bad udders,â&#x20AC;? Bailey says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to remove cows with blemishes or poordoing calves.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has a cull list,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they hesitate to act if a cow has a calf.â&#x20AC;? Some culling helps even in good years. Culling poor cows improves herd averages.

The goal: Keep best genetics in the herd as long as feasible. Finally, lack of feed or water forces a move, Bailey says.

Downsizing goes beyond simply getting rid of bad cows.

Early weaning and selling calves can cut feed demand.

That provides needed cash but can hurt annual income.

Another strategy calls for splitting a herd into young and old females. Sell one of the groups. Two- to 4-year-olds may have superior genetics, but older cows show success in the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management.

Overall, culling depends on forage outlook for summer, fall and winter feeding.

Level of destocking can differ from farm to farm in the same neighborhood. Rainfall patterns vary greatly. At the recent spring sales of Show-MeSelect heifers, farmers frequently told how they re-

Farmers Look South For Hay Supply Missouri livestock producers may be looking south for hay due to concerns over predicted hay shortages.

Buyer beware of red imported fire ants hitching a ride on hay from south of Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border, says University of Missouri Extension field crops entomologist Kevin Rice.

This invasive species attacks native insects, birds, reptiles, and small animals. When disturbed, they will defend themselves against livestock and humans with a vicious sting.

The sting contains a venom that causes intense burning and itching. The ants also give off a pheromone that invites their

nestmates to attack.

While the stings are painful, less than 1 percent of people need medical attention from being stung by red imported fire ants.

Fire ants were unintentionally introduced in Alabama from South America in the 1940s. Entomologists report them in 13 states. Few predators attack them. The good news, Rice says, is that they do not survive Missouri winters.

Bales crossing state lines should be inspected and certified by U.S. Department of Agriculture or state regulatory officials. Rice says the seller should provide certification of inspection.

Also, he suggests that buyers visually inspect each bale for fire ants. Place baits such as hot dogs or peanut butter next to bales for an hour and then scout. If you find ants in hay, collect several specimens and take them to your local MU Extension office.

Red imported fire ants measure 1/8-1/4 inch long and can be distinguished from other ants by a two-segment petiole (or waist) and 10-segment antennae that end in twosegment clubs, Rice says. This reddish-brown ant bears a distinctive stinger at the tip of the abdomen.

ceived rain while farms a few miles away had none.

Bailey points out that in typical years, two-thirds of forage yield comes in spring growth.

One-third comes in fall growth. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when winter stockpiling should happen.

Missouri producers with cool-season grass always deal with summer slumps.

Bailey cautions: Even if rains return, forage yields in 2018 will likely be below normal. Farmers already see low yields following harsh winter and spring grazing seasons.

Most producers already face hay shortages. Many have no reserves. Also, hay growth this year falls well below normal.

A big long-term problem will be winter feed, Bailey says.

Many farms face severe destocking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initially consider a 25 percent cut,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If normal rains donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return, consider another 25 percent later.â&#x20AC;?

Selling calves early in spite of revenue loss may take care of downsizing needs.

A 50 percent cut ahead of fall forage growth may allow stockpiling pastures for winter grazing. That cuts feed buying but depends on a return of rainfall.

The main advice is to plan downsizing, Bailey says. Management improvements, such as shorter breeding seasons, not year-round calving, can benefit.

For optimists, drought-induced culls can be beneficial.

It forces decisions and management.

To clarify thinking, Bailey offers a final thought: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Producers who last longest in cow-calf businesses are not those who make the most money in good years. They are those who lose the least in bad years.â&#x20AC;?

MU Extension regional agronomy and livestock specialists can help plan.

LOTS HAPPENING OVER SUMMER BREAK

Submitted Photo

The Trenton Lions Club made a $200 donation to the Grundy County Museum during its meeting on Tuesday, July 3. President Seth Cox, left, and George Moore made the donation on behalf of the club.

There were 10 members and two guests present at the July 3 meeting, which was opened with Seth Cox leading the pledge to the U.S. flag, followed by prayer by Rev. Steve Martin. Moore served as â&#x20AC;&#x153;tail twister.â&#x20AC;? Treasurer Jim Cox updated the club on the status of the 501(c)(3) fund for Rylan Miller. Seth Cox reminded members of upcoming activities/grandstand events for the Lions concession stand during the North Central Missouri Fair. Members will clean and set up the concession stand on Tuesday, July 24, at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 10 at the First Christian Church Activity Center with Jim Bush as program chairman.

Hello Seventh District.

Long time, no report and I apologize for that! The 2018 legislative session was completely different than the 2017 session.

Last year by the time we left for spring break, the Senate was in turmoil and the more seasoned state Representatives informed me we probably wouldnĘźt be able to do anything other than pass the budget after the spring break, and they knew exactly what they were talking about.

This year many pieces of legislation made it through the process and to the governorĘźs desk. I was fortunate to amend a couple of legislation pieces I sponsored to bills that await the governorĘźs approval. One in-

cluded language to fix a statute that was signed into law in 2012 when I was an agriculture teacher. I am hoping that Gov. Parson will approve this piece.

The second piece was a proposal that would make changes to the Missouri teacher retirement system. This legislation should make it easier for retired teachers, certified staff, to return to roles such as bus drivers, food and service workers, and still retain a decent pay to do so. During the process, not one individual or organization was opposed to the legislation change, but unfortunately today one group of educational professionals are concerned about the proposed change. We will see

FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2018 â&#x20AC;˘ PAGE 7

what happens.

A third piece of legislation concerning agricultural land values was passed on an Agricultural Omnibus bill.

The final piece of legislation that passed the house, but failed to make it through the Senate, would have designated Missouri Sliced Bread Day on July 7. This legislation was combined with other like legislation that recognizes various special days, events, or traditions, and was effectively stopped by a state senator from St. Louis. The senator was unable to see the value of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero-costâ&#x20AC;? recognitions for areas and people in our state.

I plan to try and pass the legislation again next year.

I also enjoyed working with some energy groups presenting a Resolution that was passed in the Senate as well as the House.

This resolution had to do with natural gas hedging.

I have received some calls about the Real ID situation to comply with federal policies. The Missouri Department of Rev-

enue is hopeful that they will be granted an extension for Real ID compliant licenses for federal purposes, such as domestic air travel. The current extension given to Missouri citizens runs out Oct. 10, at which time the Department of Revenue will apply for an extension until March 2019, when Real ID compliant licenses will be created and approved for federal purposes.

As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please donĘźt hesitate to contact my office at the following: As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please donĘźt hesitate to contact my office. Also, you can follow me on social media.

Written by Annie Lane

Dear Annie: About six months ago, a friend confided in me that he had been sexually assaulted a year prior by a blind date. After watching an episode of "ER," we were talking about sexually transmitted infections, and he mentioned needing to get tested, which brought up the revelation of his assault. He was very straightforward about telling me and said that he had dealt with everything already and was ready to move past it.

He's also had relationships and casually dated people since the assault, and he said things were completely fine.

I've tried to let him know that I'm here if he wants to talk, but he brushes the concern aside and starts a new topic each time it comes up. He's even joked a few times about hoping it doesn't happen again as he's heading out the door for a date. I'm never sure how to reply to jokes like that. Awkward chuckle? I doubt he needs or wants any pitying glances. His demeanor is very different from that of my female friends who have also been assaulted, and I don't know how to navigate the conversation without projecting my own emotions -- or emotions that I think should be expected -- on him.

Annie, do you have any recom10 DAYS

mendations or resources for helping men who've been sexually assaulted or for their friends and family members? -- At a Loss Dear At a Loss: I am so sorry your friend went through that. He's not alone. Approximately 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual assault or abuse.

The fact that he opened up to you about his experience means that he sees your friendship as a safe space in which he can be vulnerable. If you can continue providing that space, you'll have done a lot. Ambivalent and complex emotions will arise at times. Know that it's not necessary to "resolve" those feelings; simply sitting with them and with him is often the best thing you can do, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Sometimes survivors use humor as a way to cope with trauma, which may be what he's doing with those jokes. But you don't have to laugh at them. A neutral reaction is fine.

Dear Annie: Summer is here, and so are summer scams.

Recently, my mother-in-law received a call from my daughter's "friend" telling her that her granddaughter had been driving and caused a wreck resulting in serious injuries to a woman in another car. She insisted that my daughter didn't want to tell us about the accident and asked for money that she would pay back soon. She even said she had a lawyer to represent her and gave a number.

My mother-in-law is a trusting woman. Luckily, she felt she had to talk to her son before she did anything, and of course the fish failed to swallow the hook.

Please print this letter to let others know not to trust anyone peddling this sort of scam.

People also should know not to open their doors to strangers, no matter what they say. Call the police and stay inside your home. If you are contacted via phone or text, call your provider and ask whether someone working there can trace the call and alert fraud agencies. Don't answer calls from unknown numbers, and never provide information or money to strangers, no matter how convincing their script. -- Now Wiser Dear Now Wiser: Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Scams can also be reported at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov. Stay safe and savvy.

An AI sea change Artificial intelligence could give a productivity boost to some of the 6,000 hulking ships that ferry cargo containers around the world every day.

Although self-sailing ships are under development, they won’t have much impact any time soon. Instead, a new report by ABI Research suggests that advances in drones, robotics, automation, virtual reality and other technologies could fuel faster growth for shipping companies.

Applying such technologies could help shippers track costs more accurately while addressing overcapacity and security issues.

Maritime freight remains an unstable and fragment-

ed industry. But the report predicts that global maritime freight revenue will grow to more than $205 billion in 2023 from $166 billion last year.

Many shipping companies generate hundreds of millions of data points from their ocean voyages and cargo-handling, but few are currently positioned to make use of it.

ABI Research principal analyst Susan Beardslee says long-standing industry players must adapt and work with AI technology leaders.

She says that’s already happening; Finnish ship-engine maker Wartsila, for instance, recently acquired British marine navigation firm Transas, which is building anti-collision software.

Global maritime freight transportation revenue

Smooth sailing ABI Research report forecasts that global maritime freight transportation revenue will grow. The report points to advances in technology as contributing to the growth.

Smithfield Part Of Lawsuit MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal lawsuit filed last week in Minnesota alleges Hormel Foods Corp. and other companies colluded to inflate consumer pork prices on such popular products as Ball Park Franks, Spam and Nathan's Famous.

Defendants in the proposed class-action lawsuit included Hormel, based in Austin, MN, and eight other companies, including Tyson Foods, JBS USA and Smithfield Food, which has confinement operations that includes hog producers in Grundy, Mercer, Daviess and Gentry counties.

The Seattle-based law firm Hagens Berman contends the alleged price-fixing forced consumers to pay high prices for bacon, ham and other pork products. The lawsuit alleges the companies coordinated their output and limited production "with the intent and expected result of increasing pork prices in the United States," and also exchanged "competitively sensitive" and "closely guarded non-public information" about prices, carepublican-times.com republican-times.com

The lawsuit lists a dozen consumers from Minnesota and several other states as plaintiffs. Affected brands include Ball Park Franks, Hillshire Farm, Jimmy Dean, Spam and Nathan's Famous.
