Road Conditions Discussed
Several residents of Myers Township, located in the northeast part of the county, met with the Grundy County Commission on Monday, discussing the condition of township roads. Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard said several residents met with the commission, categorizing and prioritizing the roads that need the most work. It was agreed that roads utilized by school buses will have the highest priority. In other business, the commission opened the 2021 Board of Equalization, which was closed immediately due to no appointments having been made. The commission will meet again Tuesday, July 28.

Delta Variant Playing Role In COVID Uptick In Grundy County Health Department Urging Residents To Get Vaccinated COVID-19 cases in Grundy County are seeing an increase, with the Delta variant playing a role in that development. Elizabeth Gibson, administrator of the Grundy County Health Department, said Thursday morning there are 30 active cases in the county, with a total of 1,299 cases recorded since the pandemic began in March 2020. The Delta variant, she said, is very contagious and is playing a role in the transmission of the virus. “The Delta variant is so much more contagious,” she said. “In the past, a person might get it and their family might not. With the Delta variant, that’s not as likely to be the case.” Ms. Gibson said people need to take quarantines seriously and encourages residents to get a vaccine. ‘We’re not really seeing an uptick in the number of people getting the vaccine as our numbers increase, but we are still doing a few every week. It’s a continual process and every time we have a clinic we have people
$10,000 Incentive! JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s Republican Gov. Mike Parson on Wednesday rolled out a vaccine incentive program that includes $10,000 prizes for 900 lottery winners. Winners will be drawn every two weeks beginning Aug. 13 and ending Oct. 8. Previously vaccinated and newly vaccinated adults and children are eligible. Teenagers ages 12 to 17 will win $10,000 scholarships. Missouri lags about 10 percentage points behind the national average for people who have initiated shots. The goal of the incentive program is to ramp up Missouri’s current 40% vaccination rate, Parson said during a news conference outside his Capitol office. “I’m depending on you and your families to make the right choices,” Parson said. To enter, go to MoStopsCovid.com/win
there. So, we’re making steady progress.” If avoiding a serious illness isn’t enough reason to get a vaccine, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced a vaccine incentive program Wednesday afternoon to encourage Missouri residents to get a vaccine (see sidebar). As numbers have increased in the area, the Region H public health departments, of which the Grundy County Health Department is a part, has issued a Public Health Advisory in response to rapidly increasing COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations
across northwest Missouri related to the emergence of the Delta variant. At this time, unvaccinated residents of all ages who have resumed normal activities without adequate protection are most at risk, particularly immune-compromised individuals. Residents are encouraged to get vaccinated, wear a mask if not vaccinated, stay home if they are sick and take extra steps if they have underlying health conditions. For more information on COVID19 and the opportunity to receive a vaccine, contact the health department at 359-4196.
Power Outage Tops Discussion At Trenton Municipal Utilities Meeting Large Bird Shuts Off Power To Entire Town Apparently when the lights go out in Trenton, residents make good use of the emergency number to report the outage. While the city utility department appreciates the reports, things got a little chaotic during last week’s outage. Water Treatment Plant Supervisor Steve Reid said when power went out just before midnight on Thursday, July 15, the emergency number, which rings at the water treatment
plant, had 310 calls in 50 minutes. Reid said not all of the calls were answered because at that time of night, there is one employee at the plant. Reid spoke up at Tuesday’s meeting of the Trenton Utility Committee, saying that the employee, who had to shut down the water treatment plant, answered 64 calls during that time, with 25 going to voicemail. Reid said some of the calls “got nasty” and some callers questioned why there is an emergency number “if no one is going to answer it.” Reid said he wants residents to know that the em-
ployees do what they can during such a time, but every customer is not going to be satisfied. “We do what we can,” he said. “But we’re not going to be able to answer every call when something like that happens and nine times out of 10, we’re not going to call you back in a major outage. If you’re calling and not getting an answer then we probably know there’s been a problem. It’s a job to shut down the plant and take the calls at the same time.” The outage was caused by a large bird getting into the northwest electric transformer at the electric
plant, which took out the power to the entire town. A breaker was tripped open and once the problem was identified and everything had been checked for damage, the breaker was closed and power was restored. The outage lasted just under an hour. There was not a quorum at the meeting, which had listed on its agenda a discussion of an electric base rate increase. While no action was taken on that matter, Trenton City Administrator/Utility Director Ron Urton explained that the base rate, which is what [See TMU, Page 6]

Keller Gets Win In Sweep
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brad Keller is doing his part to make sure the Kansas City Royals withstand the injuries that have decimated their starting rotation. Keller earned his first win in over six weeks Wednesday to help the Royals complete a season sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers with a 6-3 victory. His solid performance came one day after Mike Minor’s strong outing in a 5-2 triumph at Milwaukee. The Royals need other starters to step up after Danny Duffy and Brady Singer both went on the injured list Tuesday. “Mikey going out there and giving a strong six innings yesterday, I just wanted to follow suit,” Keller said. “Honestly, that was my goal. I feel like whenever we go on good streaks, the starters are usually rolling.”

COVID-19 Cases Rising In Tokyo Six-Month High Hit One Day Before Olympics To Begin TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo hit another six-month high in new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, one day before the Olympics begin, as worries grow of a worsening of infections during the Games. Thursday’s 1,979 new cases are the highest since 2,044 were recorded on Jan. 15. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who is determined to hold the Olympics, placed Tokyo
under a state of emergency on July 12, but daily cases have sharply increased since then. The emergency measures, which largely involve a ban on alcohol sales and shorter hours for restaurants and bars, are to last until Aug. 22, after the Olympics end on Aug. 8. Japan has reported about 853,000 cases and 15,100 deaths since the pandemic began, most of them this year. Still, the number of cases and deaths as a share of the population are much lower than in many other countries. The Olympics, delayed for a year by the pandemic,
begin Friday. Spectators are banned from all venues in the Tokyo area, with limited audiences allowed at a few outlying sites. Suga’s government has been criticized for what some say is prioritizing the Olympics over the nation’s health. His public support ratings have fallen to around 30% in recent media surveys, and there has been little festivity ahead of the Games. On Thursday, the director of the opening ceremony, Kentaro Kobayashi, was dismissed over a past Holocaust joke. In Olympics-related diplomacy, Suga is to meet
with U.S. first lady Jill Biden on Thursday and have dinner at the state guest house. Earlier in the day, he was visited by World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Also Thursday, Emperor Naruhito received a courtesy visit from International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach at the Imperial Palace. Naruhito said he hoped all athletes will compete in good health and achieve their best performances. Bach said the Olympic community is doing its best not to pose any risk to the Japanese.

AGRICULTURE Extension To Hold Feedlot School Aug. 4-5 University of Missouri Extension will hold a feedlot school Aug. 4-5 at North Central Missouri College in Trenton. Speakers will tell the “ins and outs of feeding cattle in Missouri,” says MU Extension beef nutritionist Eric Bailey. There is renewed interest in feedlots due to new packing plants being built in and around Missouri, he says. Although Missouri ranks third nationally in beef inventory, it has not supported feedlots in the past, Bailey says. This means revenue generated by Missouri’s large cattle industry goes out of state. Missouri cattlemen raise 1.7 million calves annually but feed out only 187,500 of those. “We want to keep a greater portion of these cattle at home and feed them on the farm instead of shipping them out,” he says. “This will add revenue to farms and economic impact for Missouri.” He will cover results of a recent USDA-funded feedlot project at MU’s Thompson Research Center, which is known for its long-standing breeding program of Angus cattle chosen for growth and carcass genetics. “Cattle performed exceptionally in the first year of our project, garnering $76 per head in premiums at harvest and $125-$180 per head in income over the costs associate with feeding” Bailey says. Producers attending the feedlot school will tour three local confinement feeding facilities and see different scales of operation. “We are feeding one to two loads of feedlot cattle at MU Thompson,” Bailey says. “Other operations we will tour are larger and more diverse, including feeding cull cows.” Other topics include why producers should feed cattle in Missouri, performance expectations, financing a confinement feeding facility, insurance and risk management, feeding cull cows, diet formulation, bunk management and feeding technologies. There will also be a feed mixing demonstration. Go to cvent.me/xkEk1r for details and registrationß. For more information, contact Bailey at baileyeric@missouri.edu or 573884-7873, Shawn Deering at deerings@missouri.edu or 660-726-5610, or Jim Humphrey at humphreyjr@missouri.edu or 816-324-3146.

2021 Missouri Rental Rate Survey
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Landowners lease roughly 35% of Missouri crop, pasture and woodland acreage to renters every year. Rented acreage has increased in recent years as more land has transitioned to the next generation, interest rates have incentivized land investments and interest in carbon markets and working land conservation has grown, said Ben Brown, extension economist with the University of Missouri’s Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute. To provide information Missourians can use when negotiating land rental rates, MU researchers invite landowners, farmers, ranchers and hunters to participate in the 2021 Missouri rental rate survey. The survey collects rental agreement information for cropland, pasture, woodland hunting, building and facility rental, hay ground, livestock stocking rates and future expectations. The results will be published in the Missouri Agricultural Rental Rate Summary, which will be available at extension.missouri.edu and from county extension centers. The anonymous survey takes five to 10 minutes to complete, Brown said. You can participate electronically at bit.ly/MissouriRentalRates21 or pick up a paper copy from your local MU Extension center.

OP/ED COLUMN ONE SETH HERROLD
REACH OUT The other day, on the eve of a trip to Hawaii that I’m currently enjoying, my wife and I were catching our breath after our four-year-old had finally gone down for the night. That’s when my wife got a social media message from a former coworker. My wife is switching grades this year, moving from teaching third grade to second grade. It’s going to be a good move for her and she is going to do great. But, moving grades means moving rooms and starting from scratch. It has been a little stressful preparing for this trip and still getting a new room established all at the same time. Yes, even with her handsome and dynamic husband putting in time as well. The message my wife’s former co-worker sent was simply an uplifting, “you are going to do great” motivational boost. It was nice of her to reach out. Being a teacher herself, I’m sure she has a firm grasp of what summers are like for this particular profession. Everyone thinks teachers just chill by the pool or take trips as soon as the kids go home for the summer, but that’s not how it is at all. There are professional development days, room preparations, getting “meet the teacher” letters ready and sent out to the new class. It is a time for them to relax, but also a time to get everything put into place for the upcoming year. When they are moving grade levels or just into a new room in general, it doesn’t leave much room to unwind and recharge for a new year. For my wife, you can throw in the fact that I still work in the summer, so she is basically a single parent until I get home each day. I’m thankful for the friends she has made in the teaching profession. The support teachers give one another is fantastic, but the one who reached out to my wife personally went above and beyond. It got me thinking, too. I feel like I should strive to reach out more than I do for my friends and family. Honestly, we all could stand to strive to be more helpful and caring. You never know how important a message of support could be to someone. It might just make their day or help them get through a tough time. So if you get a chance, reach out to someone and give them a bit of encouragement. Oh, and thank a teacher for everything they do — even in the summer. TrenTon

Lawsuits Over Teaching Critical Race Theory Are Coming - Here’s What Won’t Work, And What Might by Frank LoMonte, University of Florida
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts. It can be found at http://bit.ly/TCUSinfo) As states and school districts started threatening teachers with disciplinary action for teaching about systemic racism, the question naturally arose: Does this violate the teachers’ First Amendment rights?
GUEST EDITORIAL The First Amendment protects free speech against government punishment, outside of something as extreme as a threat of violence. A school district is a government agency. So anyone punished by a school district for nonthreatening speech seems to have the makings of a First Amendment case. But from years of teaching and researching First Amendment case law, I know that this is where things get complicated. Public school teachers are government employees. And thanks to a much-disputed Supreme Court decision from 15 years ago, government employees, including teachers, surrender quite a bit of free-speech protection when they clock into work. Whether K-12 educators have any legally protected right to choose how and what to teach is sure to be tested soon, now that the furor over teaching kids about race and racism has reached a boiling point in communities across the country. When workers sign in, rights – mostly – sign out In recent months, right-wing media has fixated on “critical race theory” – a field of inquiry about the impact of racism baked into criminal justice and other powerful institutions that is taught almost solely at the law school level. The phrase has been distorted into an “antiwhite” conspiracy by the forces of “wokeness” to brainwash schoolchildren. Surfing this wave of mediacreated rage, seven states have banned mentioning specified race-related topics in the classroom. Some 20 other states are considering it. Arizona’s newly enacted ban, signed into law on July 9, is typical of those popping up around the country. It imposes penalties, from suspension of a state teaching license up to permanent revocation, for anyone caught teaching certain taboo concepts. The banned list includes teaching that anyone should “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychologi-
cal distress” on account of race or ethnicity, or that “meritocracy” or “a hard work ethic” are concepts created to oppress people of particular races or ethnicities. Normally, once a state sets the rules for acceptable on-thejob speech, public employees have no choice but to comply. That’s a product of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2006 Garcetti ruling, in which the justices said government employees can’t rely on the First Amendment if they’re punished for on-duty speech that is part of an official work assignment. Teaching is an official work assignment. So the First Amendment seems unlikely to rescue a teacher fired for teaching a forbidden subject. More rights in higher education At the college level, federal judges have given professors a bit of extra legal protection to teach and write without fear of retaliation. The Garcetti rule does not apply with full strength on college campuses, federal courts say, because the principle of “academic freedom” allows professors to explore edgy topics that push the boundaries of students’ comfort zones. The likely explanation for why judges have hesitated to extend that same level of autonomy to K-12 teachers is that curriculum decisions are more standardized in public schools than in college. A professor at one state university is free to teach history differently from a professor at a sister university in the same state. But K-12 curriculum has long been dictated by state and local school boards, so that American history is supposed to look more or less the same from one classroom to another. Judges are reluctant to substitute their judgment for the – presumed – expertise of those school board members. The right to receive information Still, it’s possible to win a constitutional challenge to a curricular decision – if you are a student. A decade ago, students in Arizona devised a roadmap for successfully challenging racially motivated restraints on what schools can teach. In 2010, conservative Arizona lawmakers, irked by the Tucson school district’s course in Mexican-American history, passed a law banning “ethnic studies” in public schools. A Tucson school administrator, 10 teachers and two students sued to challenge the forced cancellation of MexicanAmerican studies. But a federal judge decided that only the students, not the school employees, had a viable
claim. It wasn’t clear that teachers or administrators had a constitutional right to offer particular courses. But it was clear that students had a right to receive information, which couldn’t be taken away for a discriminatory reason. “Students,” Judge A. Wallace Tashima wrote, “have a First Amendment right to receive information and ideas … a right that applies in the context of school curriculum design.” After multiple trials and appeals, a federal judge ruled in 2017 that the ban indeed violated the students’ rights, because it lacked any legitimate educational basis. Will the Constitution fail teachers? Are teachers entirely out of luck if they’re fired for what they teach? Not necessarily. Their speech might end up being constitutionally protected – just not by the First Amendment. The 14th Amendment curbs the authority of state and local governments to take away any benefit or privilege, including a job at a public school, for an arbitrary reason. Legally, this is known as a “due process” claim, and here’s how it works. Let’s say you are driving down the highway, sipping from a Starbucks cup. A state trooper pulls you over and issues you a ticket for violating the state law that requires hands-free cellphone calls. When you protest that a coffee cup isn’t a cellphone, the trooper responds, “Well, you should’ve known that drinking coffee is just as bad as talking on the phone.” That’s a due process problem. Nothing in the cellphone law put you on notice not to drink coffee. Due process, I believe, not the First Amendment, will be the strongest argument for teachers who are intimidated by vaguely worded restrictions on what they can teach. Tennessee, for instance, just enacted a sweeping new law that prohibits using classroom materials promoting “division” or “resentment” among people of different races or ethnicities. Does that make it a firing offense to assign Richard Wright’s classic novel “Native Son,” which deals bluntly with themes of hopelessness among young Black men confronting societal limits on their opportunities? If the answer to that question is “nobody knows,” that’s a constitutional red flag. Regardless of who sues and when, the federal courts eventually will have the last word on how heavily state policymakers can dictate what teachers teach.

In addition, Suzi Beck was hired as the new Parents as Teachers Coordinator. It was also agreed to hire a special education paraprofessional if it is determined there is a need. The board received an update on the building, learning that the main floor
is complete with new flooring and the second floor projects are under way, with a projected completion date of July 30. In other business, the board voted to purchase new math curriculum, My Math, from McGraw-Hill, and set out-of-district tuition at $3,600 for the first student and $1,000 for each additional student in the family. Several upcoming events were announced, including the school supply night, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 12 in the school gym; open house, 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 24; and Aug. 25, first day of school. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 16, which is also the date for the annual tax hearing, which will be held at 5:30 p.m.

it costs to just have a meter, needs to cover the fixed costs such as poles, loan payments (including what is being paid for the February “polar event”), etc. TMU’s current base rate is $14 and a proposed new rate would raise that to $21. With a 10-cent per kilowatt hour cost, the total bill for 500 kwh would increase from $64 to $71, while the bill for 1500 kwh would increase from $164 to $171. Urton said some utility companies have a low base rate, but the rates for usage are higher. In looking at other communities in the area, the base rate ranges from $29 for Grundy Electric Cooperative (which has a 0.0125 rate for the first 200 kwh and 0.093 per kwh for over 200 kwh) to $7.44 at Cameron (which has a rate of 0.1118 for the first 960 kwh and 0.0905 for over 960). The city council is expected to look at the proposed increase at Monday night’s council meeting. Comptroller Rosetta Marsh reported that the new fiscal year began May
1 and net revenues for this month show a loss in the electric department of $81,687 and gains in both the water ($28,410) and wastewater department ($31,105). Year-to-date comparisons show a net loss of $98,500 in the electric department, a net gain of $26,085 in the water department and a net gain of $212,811 in the wastewater department. Year-to-date figures show an overall decrease in cash balances in the three funds of approximately $802,351. The council is also expected to consider placing a security gate at the south end of the reservoir near the quonset hut. Reid said the gate, which is expected to cost just over $300, would help with security, vandalism and the litter issue that has been a problem recently. Reid said he has talked with some of the people who fish at the reservoir and they would be willing to pay a $10 per year fee to have a key to the gate. The city would have to approve a policy setting the fee and laying out the rules for usage. Electric Distribution Supervisor Brad Griffin said
the department has installed about 275 electric meters for the AMI upgrade, with Urton indicating that water department employees have started replacing more than 500 old water meters for the new AMI system. Water/Wastewater Distribution Supervisor Kenny Ricketts said crews are working on installing the manholes on Ninth Street, which will be a long-term solution to having to dig “cross-ways” in the highway when repairs are needed. He also said a little work will need to be done on the river jetty after heavy rains moved some of the rock. Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor Bobby Hutchinson said three new electric control panels and four new pumps are needed at the lift stations, expenditures that were included in this year’s budget. He was told to get the proposal (it’s a sole source bid) for consideration by the council. Bids are also to be sought for tree trimming and lime sludge removal. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,Aug. 17.

Daviess County Library Plans Quilt Display, Ice Cream Social The Green Hills Quilt Guild and the Daviess County Library are sponsoring a quilt show and ice cream social to celebrate Missouri’s Bicentennial Anniversary of Statehood, which is August 10. This date will mark the 200th anniversary of Missouri’s entry as the 24th state in the United States of America. The show will be held Tuesday, Aug. 10 through Friday, Aug. 13 during regular library hours, which are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. A quilt challenge will be offered throughout the week for young and old, beginner and expert sewers. Participants are asked to bring scraps of red, white and blue along with a little brown (if you have them) for the challenge. Learning stations and Guild members will be at the site as reference for great techniques and tricks for sewing. Exhibitors will represent both Guild members and the public’s creations. The venue can support a display of approximately 55 quilts, so space is limited and preregistration is encouraged. Exhibitors who want to display their handiwork, whether a quilt, throw, table topper or clothing (no tied creations) should call Janet at (660) 6052170 for phone-in registration or visit local quilt shops or the library to acquire exhibitor entry forms, exhibit entry labels and exhibit hours and contact information. Exhibits should be transported to the Library between 9 a.m. and noon on Tuesday and taken home from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 14. Viewer’s Choice and Guild Choice Awards will be selected, with ballots available at the door to vote for favorite quilts. In addition to hosting the Quilt Guild in the library community room, the library will recognize this historic

DOWN 1 Uncertain
Dear Annie: I'm a father of two amazing children and completely loyal husband of more than 20 years. But I have an ongoing issue with my parents-in-law, especially my father-in-law. About 15 years ago, when our oldest child was a toddler, my in-laws became upset that I wasn't pushing religion hard enough in the household. They told my wife I was a "bad father." When I confronted my inlaws during a future visit, they denied saying it until my wife agreed with me in front of them. After that, they agreed to leave it to my wife and me to educate our kids in all matters religious. Unfortunately, not only did they continue to interfere with our parenting, but they also continued to speak negatively about me to my wife constantly. Years of such comments have caused great strain on my marriage, and I believe, at this point, divorce is inevitable. The way I see it, my inlaws forced my wife (who is an only child) to choose
between them and me. She's tried to remain neutral, and I do my best to ignore their snark, but I've come to believe there's no solution to this problem other than to split up. And on top of all they've done to our marriage, my father-in-law has taken to saying he has our oldest child "in the palm of his hand." He's extremely manipulative, and this commentary troubles me greatly, as our teenager seems blissfully ignorant. My question to you is: Should I enlighten our 18year-old as to what has occurred in his family, or leave things as they are because I'm overly sensitive? -- Am I Wrong Dear Am I Wrong: You're not being overly sensitive. But I see no need to tell your son what a miserable old crank his grandpa is. At this point, he's probably figured that out for himself. Likewise, you should give your wife more credit. We don't get to choose our families, but we do get to choose our part-

ners, and your wife chose you. Don't lose sight of that fact. While it's hurtful that she hasn't stood up for you too much until that point, you should try expressing that to her constructively so that you might have the chance to work through it. Twenty years of marriage warrants at least a few hours of couples counseling before throwing in the towel, I would think. Lastly, though it's easier said than done, try not to take your father-in-law's jabs personally. I guarantee he would have found fault with any man your wife might have married. Some people are so unhappy with themselves that they derive joy in deriding others. That's his problem, not yours. Don't take the bait.

the past decade, even as its net losses mounted as it spent to grow its business. Among its investments is in artificially intelligent virtual customer service agents. Zoom founder and CEO Eric Yuan said Five9 will accelerate the company’s long-term growth by giving it exposure to more business clients. The deal also complements the Zoom Phone, a cloud phone system that is seeing strong demand, Yuan said. San Ramon, California-based Five9 will become a unit of Zoom once the transaction closes, likely in the first half of 2022. It needs approval from Five9 shareholders.

Zoom’s big Five9 buy Buying up cloud call center company Five9 is a big move for Zoom, the videoconferencing company whose growth was supercharged by the pandemic. The planned $14.7 billion acquisition also reflects a broader move toward “contact center” software services — a cloud-based replacement for in-person call centers that handles customer interactions across a variety of channels, not just voice. Forrester analyst Art Schoeller says Zoom’s first big purchase represents the largest acquisition in the history of the contact center industry. Five9’s annual revenue multiplied about 10 times over
