Governor’s ‘Christian Values’ Statement Questioned Comments Made By Parson Occured In 2017 By The Associated Press Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has no “litmus test for appointments,” his spokeswoman said Friday, despite a statement earlier in the week indicating he would only nominate a state health director who shared his “Christian values.” The Republican governor, a Baptist, was angered after the Missouri Senate effectively ousted Donald Kauerauf as director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Though Kauerauf opposes government mask and vaccine mandates and opposes abortion, hardline conservatives in the legislature questioned if he was conservative enough. In announcing Kauerauf's resignation on Tuesday, Parson
wrote in a statement: “Don is a public health expert that is on record opposing masking requirements and COVID-19 vaccine mandates. He is outspokenly prolife and morally opposed to abortion. Missourians know that I share these beliefs and would not have nominated someone who does not share the same Christian values.” The statement prompted some to wonder if only Christians need apply for top-level jobs in the Parson administration. “I’m curious Governor, is this a standard you traditionally use?” Republican state Rep. Adam Schwadron of St. Charles wrote on Twitter. “Article VI of the US Constitution strictly prohibits a religious test as a qualification to any office or public trust. Considering that, I then must ask the question. Would someone who is Jewish, such as myself, be considered for nomination?” But Kelli Jones, spokeswoman for Parson, said in an email that
the governor's statement “was intended to point out that Don Kauerauf shared values that aligned with the Governor’s and was not intended to imply that he imposes a requirement that job applicants adhere to any particular religion.” Parson, Jones said, “has never required a religious litmus test for appointments as evidenced by the broad spectrum of religious backgrounds of his appointees. Just because an appointee happens to possess values that align with the Governor’s Christian faith doesn’t mean that he requires them to adhere to his religion.” Jones cited as an example Parson's appointment of former state Sen. Jamilah Nasheed of St. Louis to the state Board of Probation and Parole. Nasheed is a Democrat and a Muslim. Still, Parson's statement drew plenty of criticism. “The governor's remarks are offensive and undermine our nation's promise of religious freedom, which is the fundamental
right to believe or not, as we choose, and to know that our government will treat us equally,” said Rachel Laser, CEO of Americans for Separation of Church and State. The Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis, whose mission statement says it's goal is to deepen “understanding, respect and appreciation among all persons across lines of religious difference,” expressed concern in an open letter to Parson. “People of all faiths and no faith, in a variety of occupations and vocations, make significant contributions to our state and community every day,” the letter stated. In a 2017 interview with the Jefferson City-based Christian publication Word&Way, then Lt. Gov. Parson discussed the importance of faith in his role as a government leader. “First of all, I can’t even begin to imagine to do these jobs if you don’t have faith,” Parson said. “I
mean, if you’re not a believer, there’s no way, I believe, you can be a truly effective leader because when you are in this arena you are a leader. And to make decisions without faith, to me, would be impossible. I don’t know how you make the decision and how you’re going to affect the future if you don’t have belief and faith.”

JACEY HUDSON pins a North Kansas City opponent during the District 4 Girls Wrestling Tournament at Oak Park High School in Kansas City. Hudson placed fourth in the 235-pound bracket, becoming the first Trenton girls wrestler to advance to the state tournament.
HISTORY FOR HUDSON Trenton 235-Pounder Is Program’s First State Qualifier For the first time ever, Trenton is sending a female to the state wrestling tournament. The Trenton girls wrestling program, which started in the 20182019 season, had never pushed an athlete through to state, but that all changed on Saturday at the District 4 girls wrestling tournament at Oak Park High School in Kansas City. Jacey Hudson, Trenton’s 235pound wrestler, went 2-2 on the day, wrestling to a fourth-place finish at the weight, which qualified her for the MSHSAA Girls Wrestling Championships in Columbia in two weeks. “Jacey wrestled her best matches of the season during the district tournament,” Trenton girls wrestling coach Kayce Terhune said. “She had confidence in herself that we hadn’t really seen before this tournament and this confidence pushed her to push herself. I couldn’t be more proud of all three of the girls for their performance at districts. They all three left everything they had on the mat.” Hudson’s day began with a win by fall over an opponent from North Kansas City as girls wrestling still has just one class level that includes every girls program in the state. Hudson’s hopes of a championship were derailed in the semifinals, however as she was pinned by a Winnetonka foe. That placed Hudson in the consolation semifinals, wrestling Hope Charlton from St. Joseph Central in a bubble match. Hudson got her second win by fall of the day and, with the pin, punched her ticket to state. Hudson’s final match of the day saw her get pinned by Kearney’s Jaden Craig in the third-place match, one that relegated her to a fourth-place finish overall.
Two other Trenton wrestlers were in action at the event. Avery Clark was 3-2 at 141 pounds, falling just short of advancing to state herself. Clark was pinned in her first match, sending her to wrestlebacks where she reeled off three-straight wins, one by pin and two by decision wins of 4-2 and 9-3. Clark’s day came to a close after that, however, as she lost by a 9-7 decision in sudden victory to Platte County’s Victoria Geddes. Mercy Schweizer was also in action at 120 pounds, going 0-2 with two losses by fall. GALLATIN None of Gallatin’s four wrestlers were able to advance to state at the district tournament. Makayla Rainey was close, though, just missing a trip to state. Rainey finished 3-2 on the day at 125 pounds. After two-straight wins by fall, though, Rainey was defeated in the quarterfinals by Park
Hill’s Taryn Johnson, who pinned Rainey, sending her to the consolation bracket. Rainey came back with another win by fall, but saw her season end in her next match when she lost a 16-11 decision to Platte County’s Elizabeth Humburg. Jaiden Rainey was 1-2 at 120 pounds. She won a match by forfeit before falling to Chillicothe’s Yoo Lee by a 10-9 decision in the ultimate tiebreaker. She bowed out of the tournament with a loss by fall on the consolation side. Christin Burns was 1-2 as well at 159 pounds. Burns lost her first match by fall before picking up a 41 decision victory in the first tiebreaker period. She was pinned in her next match, however, ending her season. Abigail Parker was 0-2 at 194 pounds, losing her first match by fall and her second by a 9-8 decision in the ultimate tiebreaker.
With the way the 20212022 season has been for the Trenton High School girls basketball team, Friday night’s 35-24 victory on the road in Stanberry was a welcome change of pace. On the heels of a double overtime win and a onepoint victory, Trenton picked up its latest win with something they haven’t had much of this year — breathing room. The 11-point victory was Trenton’s first double-digit win since Jan. 14. There weren’t near the dramatics needed to win this one with the way Trenton’s defense was playing. The Bulldogs suffocated their hosts, limiting Stanberry to just 24 points — a season low. Stanberry never scored more than eight points in any given quarter and earned just seven field goals in the entire game. “We took care of the ball and got great shots,” Trenton head coach Kameron Cool said. “Our girls refused to be out-worked and it led to another great defensive performance.” Trenton led 9-8 one quarter in, but created some distance in the second
quarter when Gracyn Rongey knocked down two three-pointers on either side of a two-point field goal. All eight points came in a span of just over two minutes, helping Trenton build a 20-14 lead at the break. Trenton managed just six points in the third quarter, coming on two Morgan King three-pointers, but that gave Trenton enough points to win as Stanberry wouldn’t get past 24 points. Morgan King finished the night with four triples, leading Trenton with 12 points. Rongey’s eight points tied Mirena King, for the second most points on the night. Teya Cooksey followed with three points and Chandler Lynch and Astrid Soriano each had two points with Lynch adding six rebounds, four assists and three steals. Trenton was without Madi Moore, who was dealing with an ankle injury. Moore is said to be day-to-day with the injury. With the win, Trenton improved to 13-8 overall. The Bulldogs have won four in a row, seven of their last eight and 11 of their last 13. STANBERRY BOYS 67 TRENTON BOYS 42 The Trenton boys remained winless after falling to Stanberry’s boys by 25 points. The win was the 18th in a row for Stanberry’s boys, who now sit at 18-1 on the [See TRENTON, Page 3]

Gallatin Girls Pick Up First Victory Of The Season Boys Roll Over Albany Behind Very Balanced Scoring Attack GALLATIN GIRLS 55 GILMAN CITY 50 The Gallatin High School girls basketball team’s season-long hunt for a victory is over. Friday at home, Gallatin defeated visiting Gilman City 5550, earning win number one for the season and for head coach
Cole Lockhart. Gallatin trailed 13-9 after the initial quarter and the gap remained four points at halftime. In the third quarter, however, Gallatin took off on a 21-8 run that turned the tide and put the Bulldog out front entering the final frame. Gilman City was able to cut the lead down to five by the game’s end, but couldn’t complete the comeback as Gallatin survived to pick up the victory. AnnaBelle Ball had a career night, going for 29 points and eight rebounds while Elle Copple
scored 12 points. The Bulldogs also got seven points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and three steals from Ashley Feiden and six points, nine rebounds and four steals from Kallie Salmon. The win pushed Gallatin to 116 while Gilman City fell to 8-13 overall. GALLATIN BOYS 71 ALBANY BOYS 41 The Gallatin boys hosted Albany in the second game of the night, cruising to a 30-point victory. Gallatin took charge early with
a 17-8 first quarter run and held a 34-21 lead at the break. A 20-8 run in the third quarter pushed Gallatin’s advantage to 25 points and the gap continued to widen in the final frame as well. Gallatin seemingly got points from everywhere in the win. Five Gallatin players reached double figures with Isaac Bird leading the way with 15 points, seven rebounds, six steals and four assists. Brett Hemry added 14 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals and Payton Feiden went for 12 points and
three assists. Gallatin would get 11 points and three steals from Boston Bell and 10 points from Peyton Johnson. With the win, Gallatin’s boys moved to 15-5 overall on the season. Both Gallatin squads played host to Maysville in Grand River Conference games on Monday. The Bulldog teams will travel to Hamilton on Wednesday for their annual rivalry games with the Hornets. Action tips off in Hamilton at 6 p.m. with the girls game and the boys contest will follow.

SUPER BOWL LVI
Michaels To Call SB Coaches Conservative On 4th Down 11th Super Bowl Rams’ McVay, Bengals’ Broadcaster’s Contract Expiring After This Year By The Associated Press Al Michaels finally gets to call a Super Bowl in Los Angeles and will tie the late Pat Summerall for the most by a lead announcer on television. The question everyone wants answered, though: Will this be Michaels' final assignment for NBC? Michaels has been the lead announcer on “Sunday Night Football” since its start in 2006, but his contract expires after next Sunday’s matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams. The 77year old hasn’t indicated his future plans, but said he does relish becoming a free agent for one of the few times in a career that has spanned more than 50 years. “I don’t know what I’ll be doing, but I do know I will have the opportunity to continue and I want to,” Michaels said earlier this week in an interview with The Associated Press. “I feel great, knock on wood, I’m blessed with very good health, and I love what I do. “The time is coming now where after the Super Bowl where I will think about a lot of things. I’ve got a couple of people very close to me who I trust their judgment, insight and what they’ll say in terms of what is next.” This is Michaels’ 11th Super Bowl. NBC signed Mike Tirico in 2018 to take over as Olympics host and eventually succeed Michaels on “Sunday Night Football.” With NBC having the Super Bowl in Los Angeles and Michaels’ contract ending, this offseason may be a transition point. Tirico, who has called some NFL games the past couple of seasons, will do double duty next weekend — hosting NBC’s primetime coverage of the Beijing Games as well as the Super Bowl pregame show. Cris Collinsworth, Michaels’ broadcast partner since 2009, is expected in the SNF booth. “Pretty much before the season began, I knew that I wanted to just enjoy this year because it was the end of this particular deal,” Michaels said. “I knew if I got distracted by other things, it would take away from just enjoying the people I work with and just having

a hell of a time. And I’ve been able to do that.” If NBC does move on from Michaels, his next destination could be Amazon Prime, which will become the exclusive carrier of “Thursday Night Football” next season. Michaels laughed when asked if a deal with Amazon could include other elements besides “Thursday Night Football,” such as a possible reunion with Bob Costas to do a sequel or remake of the 1998 movie “BASEketball.” Cincinnati's appearance marks only the third time that Michaels has not called a game of one of the participants before they got to the Super Bowl. The Bengals’ last time on NBC’s Sunday night package was 2018 against Kansas City. ABC’s “Monday Night Football” didn’t have the Rams or Tennessee Titans during the 1999 season, and the Arizona Cardinals did not make an NBC appearance in 2008. Michaels said he's been able to watch enough Bengals games so that he isn’t coming in completely cold, unlike 1999 when streaming games or watching them on-demand remained a fantasy. But during his years calling prime-time games, Michaels said the Bengals are pretty low on the list when it comes to how many times he's seen them over the years. Ironically, his rise to prominence began in Cincinnati in 1971 when he was the Reds announcer for three seasons. “It’s kind of like starting with a fresh palette,” he said. “One of the cool things is we get to introduce the Cincinnati Bengals and their players to most of the nation as opposed to a team like Kansas City, where a lot of people know about them.” The Hollywood Park stadium complex where the Super Bowl will be held is only 8 miles from Michaels' home and marks a perfect bookend to the season. NBC’s first game of the season was the Rams hosting the Chicago Bears. “Most of my life has been spent here, even though I grew up in New York,” he said. “I went to the first Super Bowl with my brother in January of 1967. So to go to the first one, and then to broadcast this one is pretty amazing. What can I tell you? I’ve had a hell of a ride. And believe me, nobody appreciates it more than I do.”
Taylor Not Prone To Be ‘Go For It’ Guys
By The Associated Press The Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals got to the Super Bowl with help from a couple of coaching decisions by their conference title game opponents that backfired. If the Super Bowl comes down to a crucial fourth-down choice by Rams coach Sean McVay or Bengals counterpart Zac Taylor, history shows the may opt for the conservative path. After a regular season when teams set records for how often they went on fourth downs as more and more younger coaches embrace analytics, the two coaches who made it to the Super Bowl were more outliers. Both the Rams and the Bengals finished in the bottom quarter of the league in fourth-down tries in the regular season. “McVay has been sort of painted as the young up-and-comer coach. But he’s not a sort of traditional guy that embraces analytics,” said Frank Frigo, the co-founder of analytics company EdjSports. “He still kind of is a very much sort of an intuition guy when it comes to analytics. Taylor was really bad out of the shoot, but I think he’s improved a little bit.” EdjSports ranked Taylor 21st and McVay 23rd out of 32 in its Critical Call Index. The analytics company has one of the best models for determining when NFL teams should go and when they should kick on fourth downs, using its win probability model that relies on historical playby-play data adjusted for variables such as the strength and weaknesses
of both teams, injuries and other factors. “Neither one of them are in the top tier,” Frigo said. “It’s hard for me to give the nod to either in that territory, quite honestly, going into the game right now.” Fourth-down decisions have played big roles in past Super Bowl, with the Eagles using the fourthdown “Philly Special” at the end of the first half and another conversion on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter to beat the Patriots four years ago. Key calls on when to kick and when to go for it played a big role in the conference championships. The Chiefs' decision to go for a touchdown with 5 seconds left in the first half instead of a field goal backfired when Tyreek Hill got tackled at the 2 and time ran out. That led to a second-half comeback win for the Bengals. The biggest error last weekend, according to EdjSports, came when San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan opted to punt instead of going on fourth-and-2 from the Rams 40 while protecting a three-point lead in the fourth quarter. Los Angeles drove to the tying score and then won that game 20-17. “That was a critical moment in the game,” Frigo said. “That may very well cost them the game, him puckering up there. Those kinds of decisions, especially in a tight game, those things can be pretty impactful.” The EdjSports analysis said McVay's fourth-down decisions cost the Rams about one-third of a game in win probability all season. Los Angeles had a league-low five attempts when needing more than 1 yard — with one coming on a
botched punt snap — and McVay opted to go in his own territory only twice all season, with one of the attempts coming on a fourth-and-1 from his 49. His worst decision according to EdjSports came when he opted to punt on fourth-and-2 from the Rams 47 late in the first half of a Week 17 win at Baltimore. Taylor's decisions cost the Bengals more than a quarter of a win all season, according to EdjSports, with most of his best decisions coming when he went on fourth-and-short plays between the 40s. Taylor's best decision helped set the tone for the Bengals' season in the opener when he went on fourth-and1 in his own territory in the final minute of overtime. Joe Burrow converted with a big pass play to C.J. Uzomah and the Bengals beat the Vikings in OT. The Bengals punted on fourth-and3 in Vikings territory late in regulation that game, a decision that helped Minnesota drive to the tying score. But the call by Taylor that EdjSports ranked as his worst was one of the rare instances when the numbers advised kicking and a coach went for it. With Cincinnati facing a fourth down from the 1 in a tie game with Kansas City and 57 seconds left, Taylor went — to keep the ball away from Patrick Mahomes. The call decreased the Bengals' win probability by 8.7 percentage points. Cincinnati converted on a penalty and drained the clock before winning it on a field goal. That move looked better a few weeks later when Mahomes needed just 13 seconds to drive Kansas City to a tying score in a playoff win over Buffalo.
Nonprofit Helps Homeless With Party Meir Kay Started Super Soul Party Back In 2017 By The Associated Press What started with a simple invitation to a few homeless people to watch the Super Bowl together in New York City has turned into quite a party. And it just keeps growing. Super Soul Party, a nonprofit started by filmmaker and social media influencer Meir Kay, will have Super Bowl parties in 35 cities when the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams meet Feb. 13. Parties will be held in sites from Washington to Los Angeles and from Bozeman, Montana, to New Orleans. All inspired by a conversation Kay had with a homeless man just wanting someone to talk to him. “It just sort of connected like, ‘Oh my God, this is like an unofficial holiday in the U.S.,’” Kay said of the Super Bowl. "People who don’t have family or

friends may feel even more lonely. So how can I help with that?” Kay threw his first party in 2017, inviting homeless people in the neighborhood. A year later, people asked Kay how they could help, so parties were held in both New York and Los Angeles. Interest grew so quickly Kay founded the nonprofit to better organize to meet demand and seek corporate sponsors. “I never thought myself as a founder of a nonprofit," Kay said. “I just thought, ‘I’m a guy who likes to do good through video, a filmmaker.’ But it was really through people saying, ‘Hey, how are we going to get involved?’ I just sort of stepped up.” Super Soul Party has five sponsors helping cover the costs for this year's parties that are much more than just food and football. Guests can get haircuts from barbers, clothing and dignity bags of personal hygiene items. Mental health counselors and people who can help with housing and jobs have been
added as well. Kay said the food and watching the game are important. “Then we’re able to tackle on a deeper essence of the person, to build them back up,” Kay said. “And so the bigger picture from day one was to really bring back a connection to people who do not have it so they could go on and to rebuild their own lives.” Super Soul Party works with existing nonprofits. Expanding beyond New York has been accomplished through volunteer coordinators connecting with homeless shelters and other groups in their own towns. Erika Harsanyi in Orlando, Florida, saw one of Kay's videos from an early party and wanted to host one in her city. She too often felt helpless as a trauma nurse seeing homeless people needing more help than what an emergency room could provide. Now Orlando is about to host its first party with approximately 500 people expected at Exploria Stadium,

a space big enough to feel safe in these COVID-impacted times. Harsanyi said the Super Bowl offers homeless people an experience most people take for granted. “We don't think how lucky we are whereas that's something that ... maybe they may not have ever been able to experience,” Harsanyi said. “And to be able to provide that with resources, it's a really great opportunity. I'm hoping we can agree to make this a regular yearly thing.” Carlton Bussey, 57, has attended several of the parties in New York. A case manager for people with mental disabilities, Bussey now works in a men's shelter after dealing with his own substance abuse issues that left him homeless for a time. He says the parties offer a sense of normalcy. “You feel like you belong to something good,” Bussey said. “People don't pay a lot of attention to people who are homeless, you know?” Kay has big dreams to keep growing the nonprofit's reach with more events held throughout the year. But he also sees tying them in with big sporting events such as soccer's upcoming World Cup. “I find people are thirsty to connect even more so through the pandemic, and people want to give what they can," Kay said.

COMMUNITY Carol Wilford On Saturday, Jan. 8, Carol Wilford drove to the Schoene-Ruschmeier Funeral Home in Milan to attend the funeral of John Piodos, a young man who was a member of the First Baptist Church of Milan. Dan was unable to attend due to illness. Mary Gonzalez and her sons, Sammy, Joshua, and Andrew of Gladstone were overnight guests in the home of her parents, Dan and Carol Wilford, on Friday, Jan. 21. On Saturday morning, Jan. 22, Steve and Naomi Campbell and Halley and Dustin of Marshall came to the Wilford’s. John Wilford of Gladstone and Ingrid Yang of Lee’s Summit arrived shortly before noon. They finished up their Christmas festivities with gifts and a dinner. In the afternoon, the grand-
kids and some adults built two large snow people by a small fir tree in the front yard. Mary and boys, and John and Ingrid returned home that evening; while the Campbells stayed overnight at Mindi and Dave Clark’s, north of Galt. The Campbells, plus Steve’s nephew, Andrew Campbell, attended church with the Wilford’s at the First Baptist Church in Milan on Sunday, Jan. 23. The Laredo Lions Club met on Monday, Jan. 24 at the Laredo Community Center. After the group said the pledge to the American flag, Dan Wilford led in prayer. Next, Dean Smalling and Carol Wilford sang a duet, “Waiter, Waiter,” then everyone enjoyed the carry-in meal. Lions members attending were Bonna Dittberner, Dan and Carol Wilford, Marvin Burns and Dean Smalling. Guests

were Steve Purcell of Laredo and Amy Brundage of Unionville. Miss Brundage was the speaker for the evening, telling about her experiences in Lima, Peru, where she has been a missionary and a math teacher at the Fetzer Memorial Christian Academy. The school, which closed in 2021, was a school for MK’s (missionary kids). She showed a variety of photos on her laptop as she spoke. She compared the population of Lima, which is ten million, to the population of New York City, which is nine million according to the census in 2010. Amy told a little about the landscape of Peru: arid coast on the west, rugged Andes in the center, and wet forest area on the east. One of the food favorites there is fried or roasted guinea pig. Since being back in Missouri, Miss Brundage finished
her school year in December by teaching virtually. When she returns to Peru, she will be at the Pioneer Christian School for Peruvian children in Lima. She will be an ESL (English as a second language) teacher as well as being a school counselor. She is also an excellent pianist. To finish off the evening, the Lions Club had a brief business meeting, announced the District Lions meeting in Chillicothe in March, as well as having the Pan-cake/Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast at the Laredo Community Center in March. The next monthly Lions Club meeting will be on Monday, Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m. On Thursday, Jan. 27, Charles and Vickie Bowe drove to Staley High School in Kansas City to Senior Recognition Night to see their granddaughter, Chloe Sheckells.

your crop and livestock plan for 2022. A balance sheet done at the first of your year is a must too. The balance sheet will have what crops and livestock you will sell in 2022 if any. If you have grain contracted, figure that in at that price. The more information you can give your lender the easier it is for them to help you. Remember taxes for any employees or family help. If you have a specific question about a cash flow or need help, contact your local extension center (660/6460811) and they can find you help. Some key items to keep in mind when working with your lenders are 1) always be upfront with them, 2) they are there to help so take advice, 3) if something unexpected comes up during the year that affects finances, let them know ASAP. The same is true when working with your landlords as well. On another note, if you have forgotten or did not send a 1099 form to someone you needed to (over $600 paid during the year), doing so immediately is much less costly than not doing it if you get caught. Keep in mind your local CES Ag Business person can help you with some income tax questions also.

by Joe Koenen Agricultural Business Specialist I know some of you may already have done this but I want to discuss cash flows and working with your lender today. We all know that doing a cash flow is challenging, this year in particular with prices for inputs. Cash flow estimates are something you need to do every year to see where you are at and what the year looks to hold. There are aids to help you such as MU budgets which are located at https://extension.missouri.ed u/programs/agriculturalbusiness-and- policy-extension and click on budgets. However, this year is more challenging due to the variability of fertilizer, seed and chemical prices. The MU budgets are done in the fall so keep that in mind. Don’t forget the budgets include forages, fruits and vegetables and industrial hemp. Livestock budgets are there also. These budgets should be used as a guide and your figures from the previous years in most categories are the best ones to use. If a number is far out of line with lender or MU budgets, be prepared to justify them. It does not mean they are wrong. Before you do a cash flow estimate, you need to know

Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting, Joe MacDonald gave the prayer and Ryan Tepen was the sergeant at arms. Ms. Arnold told about her business, which is located in downtown Trenton and was opened in October 2018 by she and her sister, Rachel Arnold. She said she and her sister wanted to see the Trenton business community grow, especially in the downtown area, which is why they started the business. The business features floral arrangements, specialty gift items and
gourmet food items. The women plan to expand their business into the building next door, which they also own as well as a third building, both of which are currently being remodeled. When the remodeling is done, they will have rental space to offer for new or existing businesses that want to be in the downtown area. During the business meeting, Don Purkapile announced the deadline has been extended to receive a discounted registration for the international Rotary convention, which will be held this summer in Houston, TX.

Assistance Program Delayed
The State of Missouri has announced another postponement in the release of LIWHAP (Low Income Household Water Assistance Program), according to information released by the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri. This program is designed to assist low-income residents with their water bills, much the way LIHEAP helps with heating and cooling. Initially planned to begin in October 2021, the program has already seen several delays, with prior estimates pushing its start date out to Feb. 1. Recent information released to participating agencies now says it will most likely be early March before the program is up and running. No further information has been made available to CAPNCM regarding LIWHAP’s new actual opening date.

NATIONAL STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 MEET THE PEOPLE GETTING PAID TO FEED THE WORLD On Tuesday, The New York Times released what they called an “opinion video” entitled “Meet the People Getting Paid to Kill Our Planet: American agriculture is ravaging the air, soil and water.” I pressed play—so you didn’t have to. What followed was 15 minutes of distortions, misrepresentations, and lies about farmers and American agriculture—about what you’d expect from such a liberal rag. I don’t have enough room in this short email to bust every myth peddled in their propaganda, but I did want to take a second to address a few of the most dangerous and misleading lies. As many of you know, I’m a farmer. I have been all my life. Since the time I could walk, I’ve farmed with my family up in the northwest corner of our state. So, when the New York Times claimed that agriculture today is all factories run by faceless corporations, I took personal offense. American agriculture has a face. It looks a lot like mine, my family’s, and the millions of other farm families that have been feeding America for generations. The family farm isn’t a myth. Ninety-six percent of farms in this country are family farms and an overwhelming majority of those family farms are small operations. It’s true that a lot has changed in American agriculture over the last hundred years, but one thing hasn’t changed. Farming in America is a family business. It always has been and, if I’ve got any say, it always will be. The New York Times goes on to claim that agriculture is responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions around the world, but that only tells part of the story. In the United States, only 10 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. That’s because
family farmers care for the soil and other natural resources as they would for a member of their own family. Farmers don’t think about how we can turn a quick buck next year. Instead, we’re constantly looking forward into the future to how we can leave our farm in better shape for the next generation. It’s why many have worked to increase the efficiency of their operation and preserve the soil through practices such as terracing and cover crops. The article also failed to mention the many technological advances in production agriculture in recent years including soil sampling, soil/yield mapping, and variable rate fertilizer application. By utilizing these practices, family farmers are producing more with less on fewer acres than ever before in human history. I call that a win. Yet, ignoring reality, the Times claims the solution to all this is more government regulation of farms in America. The great irony here is that the kind of new regulations they want will drive family farmers bankrupt so that the big, mean, faceless corporations they claim to be fighting can buy them out for bottom dollar at the courthouse steps. This isn’t a new attack on farmers. It’s something we’ve been fighting against for decades. What’s concerning is the amount of money, power, and effort that coastal elites are dumping into strangling family farms out of existence these days. Well, I’ve got news for them. We aren’t scared and we won’t back down. We’re going to keep fighting to protect our family farms. We’re going to keep pushing back on this dangerous propaganda and we’re going to keep telling the real story of how we feed the world.

NYPD Honors Whistleblower Serpico Former Detective Was Basis For Pacino Movie NEW YORK (AP) — More than 50 years after Frank Serpico testified about endemic corruption in the New York Police Department, the department finally recognized his service and injury in the line of duty with an official certificate and inscribed medal of honor. The former undercover detective, 85, received the honor in the mail Thursday, the New York Daily News reported. Serpico testified in December 1971 to a panel appointed by Mayor John Lindsay to investigate police corruption, breaking
the “blue wall of silence,” the protection that fellow officers sometimes give each other, such as refusing to testify. Al Pacino went on to portray him in the hit 1973 movie “Serpico,” and his story is also relayed in a book by Peter Maas. Current Daily News and former Associated Press reporter Larry McShane interviewed Serpico in December about the 50th anniversary of his appearance before the Knapp Commission. "I felt that finally I was going to tell the world and nobody’s going to interrupt me,” Serpico told the newspaper, speaking from his home in upstate New York. “I thought, ‘I know the truth.’ ... Every single word was mine, and it came from
the heart.” Serpico was shot in the face during a drug arrest in Brooklyn in 1971 months before he testified and has maintained that the other officers he was with never made a call for an “officer down.” While the department gave Serpico a medal recognizing his injury in 1972, it was handed over without ceremony or the accompanying certificate, he told the newspaper. In recent years, the department has awarded medals to recipients at annual large public events. Mayor Eric Adams responded to the coverage, saying Serpico's “bravery inspired my law enforcement career. Frank — we’re going to make sure you get your medal.”
On Thursday, Serpico tweeted a photo of the framed medal of honor and certificate that reads in part, “in recognition of an individual act of extraordinary bravery performed in the line of duty." He has continued to speak out against corruption and abuse by the police since his retirement in 1972 and says he has supported and listened to other whistleblowers over the years, including those who testified about the now-terminated stop-and-frisk policy. In 2017, he publicly supported quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who protested against racial injustice while playing in the NFL.
VMI To Change Its Honor System Current Format Is Said To Expel Blacks More Often LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) — The Virginia Military Institute says it will change its student-run honor court to make it more fair to cadets as part of a response to a state-ordered investigation into racism and sexism at the school. VMI detailed the reforms in a progress report Friday, The Washington Post reported. The 70-page report, which the college gave to General Assembly members and the Virginia secretary of education, describes initiatives approved, enacted or begun last year. Those initiatives included mandatory diversity, equity, and inclusion training for administrators and members of VMI’s Board of Visitors, and changes to the Lexington school’s one-strike-and-you’re-out honor court system. Data obtained by the newspaper showed Black students at VMI were expelled by the honor court at a disproportionately high rate for the three academic years between the fall of 2017 and the spring of 2020. Though Black cadets made up about 6% of
the student body, they represented about 43% of those expelled for honor code violations. Twelve out of the 28 VMI students dismissed in those three academic years were Black. When students of color were included in the count, the number of expelled rose to 15, or about 54% of the total, even though minorities made up only about 21% of the student population in that three-year period. Barnes & Thornburg, a law firm hired by the state to investigate racism and sexism at VMI, recommended in its final report that the college “consider changing” its policy of allowing convictions without unanimous verdicts by student juries. But VMI, which received $21.6 million in state funding for the 20212022 academic year, reported Friday that it will continue to allow student prosecutors to win cases with nonunanimous verdicts. One concession the school did make was that student juries will expand in size and guilty verdicts will require nine out of 11 jury votes instead of five of seven. Another change would allow cadets to use pro bono attorneys during their trials. VMI used to allow lawyers to represent cadets during the proceedings, but stopped about a dec-
ade ago because of complaints that the professional litigators prosecuted the system itself and that only affluent students could afford them. Now, VMI will draw up a list of pro bono lawyers willing to work with cadet defendants and their “defense advocates” — typically VMI faculty or staff members — before and during trials. But the attorneys will be allowed only to observe and consult their client or their defense advocate during the hearing, not argue the case themselves. All of the new honor court changes will go into effect in August 2022, at the beginning of the next academic year. The college also said it will begin retaining “key demographic data” to “monitor the fairness of the system.” VMI’s chief diversity officer, Jamica Love, will help “facilitate annual reviews” of the honor system, the report said. A report released last year said VMI tolerated and failed to address institutional racism and sexism and must be held accountable. The report said “racial slurs and jokes are not uncommon” and “contribute to an atmosphere of hostility toward minorities.”

Dear Annie: My wife and I are, year by year, going through renovations in many parts of our house. I am more than capable of doing most of the work. However, we hire someone for anything that requires inspections or jobs that take a long time. My older cousin is very close to a gentleman I'll call "Dan," who is a very skilled jack-of-all-trades and has done some excellent work for my cousin and my mother. The problem is, Dan is a total creep around my wife (and most younger women). I'd like to think I'm overreacting, but his weird behavior is a running joke whenever his name is mentioned. Dan makes horribly sexualized comments to my wife, and he once ended up on the ground outside a bar when he walked by and slapped her on the rear. My wife thinks we should hire him to complete some work, thinking that Dan will give a discount because of his infatuation with her. I do not want this creep anywhere near her or knowing

planning to go to college, the parents do need to monitor the teen's interactions and help the teen understand the ramifications of careless and reckless posts. It would be heartbreaking to do the right things to qualify for college and then fall short because of old and forgotten social media posts. Anything we post is out there forever somewhere. -- Just Another Point of View Dear Another Point of View: Thank you for your insight. You bring up a very important point for kids -and parents -- to know. This is a new challenge that this generation is facing, and it is important to teach children about the consequences of their words and actions, especially on social media, for all the world to see and remember.

Smartphone rebound Global smartphone sales have nearly bounced back to pre-pandemic levels after working from home and anti-disease measures made mobile devices a bigger part of life. 2021 sales rose 7% to 1.35 billion handsets even as brands struggled with shortages of processor chips and other components, according to Canalys. That was just short of 2019’s 1.37 billion. Samsung held onto its No. 1 rank with nearly 275 million phones shipped. Apple, helped by a new iPhone lineup, boosted sales by 11% over 2020 to a record 230 million. Chinese brands Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo
ranked third, fourth and fifth. “The pandemic has made consumers more dependent on mobile,” Nicole Peng of Canalys said in a report. “Leading players are increasingly positioning themselves as cross-category device players.” The biggest growth was in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Latin America. In China, the biggest market, sales rose 1% to 332.9 million handsets. Apple was No. 4 for 2021 sales in China but, helped by new models, took first place in the final quarter with 21 million units sold and a 25% market share.
