Orioles Beat Royals 5-0 Sunday KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Matt Harvey ended his nine-game losing skid with his best performance in years, pitching six crisp innings and sending the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals 50 Sunday. Harvey (4-10) had been winless in 12 starts since his previous victory on May 1. The former All-Star allowed just three singles, walked one and struck out

two against his former team. “I went out there and tried to flip the switch on a poor first half,” Harvey said. “Having those days off to recharge definitely helps.” Harvey’s six innings matched his season high. This was the first time since September 2018 that Harvey pitched at least six innings and didn’t allow a run.

“He’s been pitching with some nagging things, but he was really good today,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “I was happy with how everyone pitched today.” Carlos Hernandez (1-1) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings in his second career start. Kyle Zimmer, Josh Staumont and Greg Holland each allowed a run in relief.

Mercer Man Is Injured A Mercer man sustained moderate injuries and had to be taken to the hospital when a mattress blew out of the back of a pickup truck Saturday afternoon struck his motorcycle. According to a report filed by Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. J.C. Gilliland, the crash occurred on Highway 65, one-half mile north of Trenton, as a 2015 Chevy pickup truck driven by Sean M. Graham of Mercer was northbound on Highway 65. A mattress blew out of the back of his truck

and into the path of a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by Jacob I. Graham, also of Mercer. The motorcycle struck the mattress and went off the east side of the roadway, coming to rest facing west. Jacob Graham was ejected from the motorcycle, causing his injuries. He was taken to Wright Memorial Hospital by Grundy County EMS. There was moderate damage to the motorcycle. The Trenton Police Department assisted the MSHP at the scene.

Gamet Speaks At Rotary Club North Central Missouri College Athletic Director/Ketcham Community Center Director Nate Gamet presented the program at the Thursday, July 15 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Joe MacDonald gave the prayer and Steve Taylor was the sergeant at arms. Gamet is a native of Trenton and he and his wife are the parents of three children. Following college, he worked in coaching and sports management positions in the Midwest before coming to NCMC as director of the KCC. He was recently named the college athletic director. Gamet said his goal as director is to expand the presence of NCMC sports in the community as well as enhancing sports programs at the school. He encouraged members to contact him with any ideas they might have. He said the college recently added an athletic trainer, Megan Erickson, as well as two new coaches, Nate Swann, men’s and women’s golf; and Sarah VanDyke, women’s softball. He also addressed COVID protocol for basketball games, not-

ing that no masks will be required. However, vaccination records will be kept on file but will not be required. He also anticipates fan road trips for games being possible. As KCC manager, Gamet will be managing the 2021 Holiday Hoops event along with Hoops committee members. There are 45 teams registered for the tournament at this time. This is less than in the past, however, Gamet said reducing the number of teams will make the tournament more manageable and not as taxing on volunteers and sponsors. During the business meeting, Upton reminded members about the program “buddy system.” Two possible service projects were discussed for the club involving helping the Spickard School move items back into the classroom following summer room improvement work and working with the TDIA on its trash can project for the downtown area. The club will meet at noon on Thursday, July 22 at the BTC Bank community room. Rick Klinginsmith will be the program chairman.

THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE By this point, we’ve heard it all. First, we were told there wasn’t really a crisis going on at the southern border at all, that this is just a cyclical thing and it too shall pass. It didn’t. We’ve heard that the Administration is making “progress” to solve it. They haven’t. Now, we’re hearing calls from the left to completely defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and any other agency that does anything to slow down the wave of illegal immigrants crossing into this country illegally. Apparently, the radical open-border policies that have caused this crisis just aren’t enough for them. I’m sure all these folks have good intentions. They talk about how it would be more “humane” and “compassionate” if we just opened our hearts and opened our borders. But as they say, the road to ruin is paved with good intentions. And well, the numbers don’t lie. We’re just a few months into the new Administration and in May, CBP reported 180,034 encounters at the border, a 674 percent increase over last May and a new 21 year high. It isn’t just the sheer number of illegal immigrants crossing the border that’s concerning though, it’s the deplorable conditions they’re subjected to by drug cartels and human traffickers on the journey here, ranging from assault to sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, and worse. The real tragedy is that the number of unaccompanied minors, that is, children who are found without any parent or close relative is already up 163 percent over last year. There’s nothing “humane” or “compassionate” about young children,

some of whom are infants and toddlers, being kidnapped, trafficked, abandoned, and dying at our southern border. Now those same “progressives” will tell you that it’s “none of our business” because what goes on at the border doesn’t impact folks that live in Missouri. Well I’m here to tell you they’re wrong. Not only is the humanitarian crisis driven by this administration’s crisis concerning for every American who cares about the sanctity of human life, it’s also providing drug cartels with the perfect cover to smuggle tons of their poison across our border. Already this fiscal year, CBP agents have seized more fentanyl than they did in all of 2020. We still have 4 months of reporting left to go and that just tells part of the story. We have no idea how much is being smuggled across our border undetected. Those drugs aren’t just staying in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico, they’re being trafficked across the United States, even right here to Missouri. They’re fueling addiction, crime, and overdose deaths, ripping families apart and destroying lives. None of these problems are going to solve themselves. We can’t just ignore this crisis and expect it to get better. We must start taking concrete steps to really end it, once and for all. Step one should be reinstating President Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy, which made a huge impact on ending the 2019 surge at the border. We also need to finish construction of the border wall. Perhaps most importantly, we need to start enforcing our immigration laws again. After all, America is a nation of laws. We can’t be a nation of laws if we don’t follow those laws.

LIVING WITHIN OUR MEANS Missouri’s new fiscal year started on July 1. After a year of uncertainty, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, our state was able to bounce back better than most. This can be credited to maintaining a balanced budget, and to a lot of hard work in keeping close tabs on our spending during the past year. Missouri’s fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30. Crafting the state’s spending plan is practically a yearround job. It starts in December, when Missouri

Senate, House of Representative and the governor’s budget experts create what is called the Consensus Revenue Estimate, or CRE. This is the predicted level of economic growth for the upcoming fiscal year, and how we try and determine how much money could be needed for essential services. From there, both the Missouri House Budget and the Missouri Senate Appropriations committees take hours of testimony and pour over thousands of requests

to create a spending plan for the state. The budget is approved in May and signed into law before July 1, typically in June. There are a couple of highlights for northwest Missouri in this year’s budget. Within this year’s budget, Northwest Missouri State University is set to receive $5 million to improve the school’s Central Plant. Charged with heating and cooling the entire campus, this facility has needed an upgrade for some time, and I am thankful we were able to address this need in the budget. In addition, North Central Missouri College plans to use $4 million to build a new satellite location in the 12th Senatorial District. Our smaller colleges have shown the importance of higher education, especially in rural Missouri. It is a

pleasure to be a part of helping with this growth. I take my role as chairman of the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee seriously. Utilizing tax dollars in the best way possible is the only way to continue to provide vital services to the most vulnerable in our state. We have a lot of great people involved in this responsibility, who work every day to ensure your tax dollars are used in the most efficient way possible.

Dear Annie: I retired 11 years ago, but I could have been the obsessed woman addicted to her iPhone before I retired. But in the previous decade, as I lay in my hospital room, recovering from serious stress-induced internal surgery, I kept addressing the "pings" on my phone. My oldest daughter, a special needs faculty member at a local junior high school, took the phone from my hand and said, "Stop." At first, I was frustrated. I felt cut off from my busy executive life as a local elected official. Eventually, I adjusted. Following six months of difficult recovery, where I only worked part time, I announced my retirement. My daughter was shocked, my husband elated. I still check my phone, and I still stay in volunteer roles, but life is different for me, and I am a happy 76year-old grandmother, much less stressed. A person may listen, but they need to make the deci-

sion themselves. Nagging doesn't work. -- Just Grandma in Washington Dear Grandma: I love the idea of slowing down and putting away the iPhone. While technology is amazing, like any good thing, it needs to have its limitations and a time and place. Dear Readers: In the spirit of slowing down and smelling the roses, I'm going to treat you with my favorite excerpt from "Walden": "We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and me-

Peak condition?

Good news keeps rolling in for hospital company shareholders, but the window to cash in may be closing for investors still on the sidelines. Acute care hospital operators have seen share prices soar past the broader market since November, when good news on experimental COVID-19 vaccines gave initial hints that the pandemic could be brought under control. Fall elections also delivered a Congress with no overwhelming political majority, dampening chances for big health care legislation that could hurt profits. Patients continue returning to hospitals for elective surgeries they

postponed earlier in the pandemic. And last month, the Affordable Care Act survived another Supreme Court challenge, preserving insurance coverage for millions. The pandemic is not over. Troubling virus variants could send more COVID-19 cases to hospitals. But Morningstar analyst Julie Utterback sees no specific challenges on the horizon for companies like HCA or Tenet Healthcare. Even so, she also thinks hospital stocks have gotten a bit overheated after so much growth. “They’re trading a little bit above what we think they’re worth right now, so we aren’t particularly excited by the stock valuations,” she said.
