City, TMU Budgets Approved

Funds From Electric Department Will Stay Put There will be no transfer of funds between the electric and wastewater departments of Trenton Municipal Utilities after members of the Trenton City Council voted down an ordinance that would have allowed the transfer to occur.

During a meeting on Monday night, council members said no to a memorandum of understanding that outlined the council’s intention of moving $2 million from the electric department to the wastewater department to help pay the cost of the wastewater department’s headworks project. The money would have been paid back over a period of 15 years at an interest rate of .5 percent which, according to the document, would have saved the city $770,322 in interest payments over the life of the loan.

During initial discussion, it was suggested the ordinance be tabled until the city had a better idea of the cost for the headworks project, which has been estimated at around $3 million.

Representatives from the Burns and McDonnell engineering firm were to be in Trenton today (Tuesday) to visit with city officials about the project and it was hoped that the firm would have better numbers as to the cost.

Councilman Travis Elbert suggested the council consider investing the $2 million, not-

ing over a 20-year period at a rate of 2.5 percent, the city would realize $1.2 million on its investment. Councilman Brad Chumbley said the city shouldn’t consider investing the money without also considering a reduction in electric rates.

City Attorney Tara Walker noted that while the memorandum allowed the council to proceed with the transfer, it still did not bind future councils to pay back the money. She said the document only shows what the council was trying to do when it authorized the transfer.

The vote was 3-5 against approving the memorandum. Voting in favor were Chumbley, David Mlika and Larry Crawford. Opposed were Glen Briggs, Lou Fisher, Larry Porter, Elbert and Jennifer Hottes.

On votes of 8-0, the council approved budgets for both the city and TMU. Both budgets, which go into effect on May 1, include a 25cent per hour raise for all employees as well as continued payment of employee health insurance premiums.

The city budget shows revenues anticipated at $2,942,232 and expenditures estimated at $3,237,296. With a transfer of $173,926 from the city’s fund balances, the budget is projected to end the year with a $121,138 deficit. This

Trenton Wins Interstate Battle, 6-3

Gabe Swann hits a shot during Trenton’s 6-3 win over Chariton, IA on Monday at the THS tennis courts. Swann was an 8-2 winner in singles play and fell 8-6 in doubles play, teaming with Jeremy Elliott.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Trailing 2-1 after doubles play, the Trenton High School tennis team showed exactly why it is back-to-back district champions and expected to vault into the state playoffs once again this year.

Trenton dominated singles play, taking five of the six matches to wrap up a 6-3 dual victory over the visiting Chariton, IA Chargers on Monday at the THS tennis courts. The win kept Trenton undefeated on the season, pushing the Bulldogs’ dual record to 5-0.

“It was a slow start for our team, winning only one doubles match, but my senior heavy team was not going to let the singles portion of the dual end the same way,” Trenton Coach Dave Sager said.

“I’m proud of how our team can get back on track, after a rocky start. It was a great win for our boys.”

Trenton got off to the tough start in doubles play, partially due to Chariton teaming its number one and two singles players in the number two doubles match. That led to an 8-6 loss for Trenton’s Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott. With Chariton’s three and four players in the number one doubles slot, however, Nick Shields and Creed Houghton rolled to an 8-1 victory.

But, in the number three doubles match, Isaac Harris and Weston Otto suffered an 8-2 loss and gave the visitors a leg up heading into singles play.

But the deficit would be shortlived. In singles play, Shields hammered out an 81 win at number one and Swann followed suit with an 8-2 win at number two. Harris, at number five, also wrapped up his singles match rather quickly with an 8-1

North Andrew Cardinals 17, Trenton Bulldogs 6

Pitching Struggles Continue In Loss An improved offensive performance wasn’t enough to lift the Trenton Bulldogs on Monday as another troublesome day on the hill doomed Trenton to a 17-6 loss to North Andrew in Grand River Conference action at Burleigh Grimes Field.

After issuing 12 walks to North Harrison just three days earlier, the Bulldogs again struggled with the strike zone, yielding 14 more free passes to the visiting Cardinals. On top of the 14 bases on balls, Trenton also put another four runners on base with hit batters.

“The guys came out and played pretty good defense, but we are still walking too many guys,” Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said.

North Andrew made the most of its allowed opportunities early, tagging Trenton starter Sam Schilling for three runs in the first inning and three more in the second.

After Schilling exited in the third, Canyon VonBurg was able to find some success on the hill. He went two and onethird innings and didn’t issue a walk. He was chased in the fifth, however, as North Andrew broke a two-inning scoreless streak, netting four more runs to push the lead to 10-2.

Trenton responded with a four-run fifth of its own in the bottom of the frame, part of a pretty successful day at the plate. The Bulldogs would finish the game with six runs on six hits and seven walks.

Schilling and Royce Jackson each had doubles in the loss and Quincy Griffin continued to see the ball well, going twofor-three with a walk and an RBI. He stole two bases and scored two runs for Trenton.

“When it came to offense they produced at the plate,”

victory.

When Houghton closed out his 8-3 win at number three, it sealed the dual victory for Trenton. Elliott gave Trenton one final win at number four, winning a tough battle 9-8 after taking the tiebreaker by a 7-3 margin. Otto fell 8-1 at number six to give Chariton its third and final win of the dual.

“I’d like to thank the Chariton Chargers for always being gracious in doing a match with us,” Sager said. “I enjoy having a Missouri-Iowa match-up to mix up our regular season schedule. I wish them the best of luck with the rest of their season.”

The 5-0 Bulldogs return to action on Thursday night as they begin play in the Kirksville Under The Lights Tournament.

That event carries over to Friday, when it will conclude.

Sam Schilling fires a pitch during the first inning of Trenton’s 17-6 loss to North Andrew on Monday at Burleigh Grimes Field. Schilling went two and two-thirds innings, allowing six runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five.

Hultman said of his team. “We got some hits, there were a couple of times where we had the bases loaded and we couldn’t get that timely hit, but the guys are hitting the ball hard.

Sam hit a pretty hard double up the middle and some other guys hit the ball hard, so it seems like the offense is coming around. We will just keep working on it and hopefully put a complete game together soon.”

After Trenton’s big inning in the fifth, however, North Andrew answered with two more runs in the sixth and five in the seventh. Trenton allowed 10 walks over the final two frames combined.

With the loss, Trenton fell to 2-5 overall and 2-2 within the Grand River Conference.

Trenton will play four games in three days, beginning with a road trip to Milan on Thursday for another GRC showdown. The Bulldogs will

host East Harrison in nonleague action on Friday at Burleigh Grimes Field before heading to Faucett on Saturday

for a pair of games in the annual Mid-Buchanan Tournament.

SPORTS TRENTON HIGH SCHOOL

Coaching Changes A Plenty For Bulldog Programs

WRESTLING Grapple At The Garden

Coaching Carousel Spinning Fast At Trenton A handful of dominos fell into place on Tuesday night as Trenton High School continues to go through a significant coaching transition.

At the Trenton R-9 Board of Education meeting, board members accepted the resignations of both high school varsity basketball coaches, girls coach Brian Upton and boys coach Jeremy Austin. They joined Brandon Boswell, football, and Amanda King, volleyball, as outgoing varsity coaches at Trenton. “It was mostly timing,� Trenton Athletic Director Wes Croy said. “It was a situation where different circumstances led to different opportunities for people.

We ended up with coaching openings in what you would call four of the major sports. Then we had a lot of openings in other areas. It’s an ongoing process and I think that’s what you get used to in the spring.

We have been spoiled at Trenton in the last decade or more because we have been very consistent in our coaching staff. This is what a lot of schools face on a yearly or bi-yearly basis, though, and now it’s our turn to deal with it.�

At the same meeting, Trenton filled four of those positions, hiring Kevin Hixson as the new head football coach, Kameron Cool as the new head girls basketball coach and Pam Bowden as the new head volleyball coach.

KEVIN HIXSON, FOOTBALL Hixson becomes the 33rd head coach of the Trenton football program, which played its first game in 1900 - 119 years ago. He comes to Trenton from Omaha Burke High School in Omaha, NE, where he was an assistant football coach for a team that claimed the Nebraska Class A state championship this past fall and reached the state semifinals the year before.

Prior to his time at Omaha Burke, Hixson spent stints as an assistant coach at Polo and El Dorado Springs, where he was the defensive coordinator for both programs. He was last a head coach in the 2008 season, leading the Southern Boone Eagles, where he spent three years, including one year as head coach.

He was also the head coach at Carrollton in the 2004 and 2005 seasons and was the head football coach at Gallatin from 1992-2002. “I feel really good,� Croy said of the hire. “When we started the search for a football coach, you know, there were two things that we really wanted to try to find. One was a good coach, a good X’s and O’s coach that had some experience and hopefully some success in their past. And then we wanted to get the best weight room person we could get to help our kids continue to build on what Coach Boswell has started in the weight room and take us to the next level.�

In addition to his football coaching experience, Hixson guided El Dorado Springs to a fourth-place finish at the National Powerlifting Championships in Oklahoma City, OK in 2013. His 2010 Powerlifting team at El Dorado Springs won a NASA state powerlifting championship and he is a member of the National High School Strength Coaches Association. “Honestly, I’ve known Coach Hixson for a long time. I coached against him way back when we were both young and I was at Maysville and he was at Gallatin. He always had really good teams. He has had a lot of success wherever he has been and when you talk to his former players, they all speak very highly of him. His former employers and athletic directors all speak very highly of him, so my comfort with him from knowing him in the past and the fact that he brings a ton of experience to our school and has a tremendous background in power lifting and weight lifting made him a really obvious choice.�

Hixson met with the Trenton football team on Thursday morning. The program he inherits is just three years removed from a Grand River Conference championship, however, Trenton dropped to a 4-6 record the year after winning the league and was just 3-7 this past season. Hixson didn’t want to call his first season a rebuild, however.

Kevin Hixson

“The truth is it’s not really a rebuild,� Hixson said. “You make the kids accountable to each other, try to spark a little fire and, just like I told the kids, water at 211 degrees is hot, at 212 it boils. They are not that far away from being at 212. I’ve watched four different games and they do a lot of good things. There are a lot of little things they can do better with their hands, with their eyes, with their feet. Just from a coaching standpoint you motivate them a little bit and get a little bit of fire in them. It’s about the Jimmys and Joes, not the X’s and O’s. If they want to, get on board and grab an oar. If not, jump off the boat.�

After being at Omaha Burke - the largest high school in the state of Nebraska - Hixson is happy to be returning to the small school scene. He has experience in the Grand River Conference from his stints at Gallatin and Polo. “It helps me as far as being able to understand the community and the ties to the community,� Hixson said. “The biggest thing I’m looking forward to is being able to have a better rapport because of the size of school. I was at a school where kids would walk by me in the hallway and I wouldn’t even know their name. The opportunity to get back into a smaller community and make these kids understand is something I’m looking forward to. “I’m one of those guys who thinks that after a year or two your team will start taking over the personality of the guy that’s driving the bus. Hopefully, we can get fired up and be as competitive as we possibly can.�

KAMERON COOL, GIRLS BASKETBALL Trenton made an in-house hire to take over the girls basketball program from Brian Upton, tabbing Kameron Cool for the position. Cool has served as the assistant softball coach at Trenton for the past three years and the assistant boys basketball coach for the past five years. Cool, the son of Chillicothe Head boys basketball Coach Tim Cool, now gets his first opportunity to guide a varsity program. “Kameron has a great background,� Croy said. “We knew that at some point he was either going to be a head coach in our system or a head coach in somebody else’s system. He’s had opportunities in the past to pursue head coaching jobs and he hasn’t because he and his family are really invested in the Trenton community.�

Cool had the choice to take over the boys or girls program and ultimately settled on the girls after a tough decision. He plans to remain the assistant coach for the softball program, however, and that ultimately played a role in his decision. “It wasn’t an easy decision because I love those guys,� Cool said. “It was a long-term decision for sure. Being the assistant softball coach and then the head girls basketball coach has some real advantages because it gives the girls a different relationship with

me at different points of the year and I feel like I can really invest in that group. But again, I really love those guys and it’s not going to be easy to not be their coach anymore. It wasn’t easy making that decision, but I’m really looking forward to this opportunity to coach the girls.�

Cool takes over a program coming off a third-place finish at state, however, a team that will be graduating five key players, including four starters. The program’s all-time leaders in points and steals are among those graduating, but Cool’s enthusiasm for his opportunity has not waned in the face of those facts. “I’m so thankful for the opportunity here,� Cool said. “My wife and I and our family love this community, so we are really excited that this gets to be the place where we start this journey of being a head coach.�

Upton, meanwhile, walks away from coaching after an incredible 12-year run between Southwest and Trenton that saw him post a 267-64 career record.

He posted a 152-42 record in seven years at Trenton, guiding the Bulldogs to three Grand River Conference championships, two district championships and two Show-Me Showdown appearances. He was named the Class 3 All-Northwest District Coach of the Year by the Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association three times in his seven years at Trenton. “I have really enjoyed my time at THS and I have enjoyed the people I have worked with and the incredible players and young ladies that I have had the privilege to coach,� Upton said. “But the time seems right, for a variety of reasons, to move on. The last seven years have been very memorable and very rewarding to me and I really appreciate the opportunity that Trenton High School has given me. I have always tried to represent THS in a positive light and be a role model for the players I have coached and I wish nothing but the best for this team in the years to come and to their new coach.�

PAM BOWDEN, VOLLEYBALL Trenton also made the hire for a new head volleyball coach in Pam Bowden after Amanda King decided to return to coaching the middle school program at Trenton, a position she held prior to becoming the head coach of the high school team in 2015. “I’m excited because I think I can bring something new and possibly some new life to the program,�

Bowden said. “I’ve had these kids before and I’m excited to work with them again in a different realm than in the classroom. I just enjoy coaching, so it will give me some different avenues to extend what I like to do. I hope that joy is brought to them, not only in the coaching realm, but also in just life and pushing those kids out into the world.�

Trenton’s volleyball program began play in 1995 and has never had a record over .500. However, the team began to find more and more success under King. The Bulldogs won 12 games in 2017 and 10 in 2018, marking the only two double-digit win totals in program history. King also led Trenton to the district semifinals in each of the past three seasons. Trenton had only reached that level of play twice in the 20 seasons prior to King taking over. “Volleyball is not the easiest position to fill,� Croy said. “So, we felt very fortunate when I was talking to Coach Bowden about her interest. She has a very strong background in athletics, she was a very good athlete in high school. She has been at Trenton a long time and she understands the challenges that you face with volleyball, but she also understands the opportunities that are there. It is an improving program and Coach King did a very good job of transitioning it during her time into a better job than it was when she took it. We are having more and more girls who are involved at the youth level and the club level and it’s leaving us with more and more kids who have the ability to go and play at a high level. We feel very fortunate that Coach Bowden wanted to be a part of it.�

Askren To Wrestle Once Again NEW YORK (AP) — Five-time world champion Jordan Burroughs will wrestle mixed martial arts star Ben Askren in a charity match next month.

Burroughs and Askren, a 2008 Olympic wrestler, will face off for the first time in Madison Square Garden on May 6 to headline the 10th annual "Grapple at the Garden" event to support inner city wrestling.

Burroughs won the 74kilogram world title in 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2017 in addition to an Olympic gold medal seven years ago in London.

Askren, a former two-time national champion for the University of Missouri, has won his first 19 MMA matches — most recently at UFC 235 in March.

MLB Royals’ Hit Streak

MerriďŹ eld Breaks Record KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whit Merrifield extended his hitting streak to a Kansas City-record 31 games in a 65 loss to the Seattle Mariners Wednesday night..

Merrifield's RBI bunt single in the seventh tied it at 5 and moved him past Hall of Famer George Brett for the Royals mark.

Merrifield bunted with Terrance Gore on third in the seventh. He placed the ball perfectly up the third-base line and tipped his cap to a cheering crowd after reaching first without a throw.

"I used to bunt a lot when I was young," Merrifield said.

"I couldn't drive the ball.

Those young years paid off."

Gore made his first major league start and had three hits in the game after entering with two hits over six major league seasons. His two-out double helped Kansas City threaten in the ninth, but after Merrifield was walked intentionally and Billy Hamilton drew a free pass, Adalberto Mondesi popped up to end it.

Jorge Soler hit a 454-foot home run in the third. Hunter Dozier also took hit a long home run, knocking one 453 feet.

Notre Dame’s Young Goes First

Missouri’s Cunningham Goes 13th NEW YORK (AP) — Jackie Young said it was a dream come true to be taken first in the WNBA draft.

The Notre Dame guard, who decided to enter the draft early and skip her senior season, was selected No. 1 by the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday night.

"Since I was a little girl I always wanted to play in the WNBA and now I have my chance," she said.

She's the second Irish player to be drafted first after entering early joining Jewell Loyd, who had the honor in 2015.

It's the third consecutive year the Aces have had the No. 1 pick. They took Kelsey Plum in 2017 when the franchise was still in San Antonio. The Aces then drafted A'ja Wilson last season with the No. 1 pick when the franchise moved to Las Vegas.

Young wasn't thrilled that she didn't have much time to make her decision after the Irish lost the championship

game Sunday night to Baylor.

She had 24 hours to decide whether she wanted to turn pro or go back to play for the Irish.

"It was definitely a hard process for me," Young said. "I had to sit down, talk to my family, talk to Coach (Muffet) McGraw and make the best decision for me."

Young was the first of five Notre Dame players to be drafted. Arike Ogunbowale went fifth to Dallas. Brianna Turner went 11th to the Atlanta Dream. She was later traded to the Phoenix Mercury for Marie Gulich. Jessica Shepard was taken 16th by the Minnesota Lynx. Marina Mabrey was the fifth Notre Dame player to go, drafted 19th by the Los Angeles Sparks.

"It's a historic moment for our program," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said.

"We've had a lot of accomplishments, but this one stands alone. It's probably something that will never happen again.

Because of the injury to Bri

and Jess coming in, it's atypical of having that kind of class.

But it's incredible what they accomplished."

Missouri’s Sophie Cunning ham was the 13th overall pick, going to the Phoenix Mercury.

Tennessee is the only school to have that occur with college players, in 2008. Candace Parker was taken first. Alexis Hornbuckle was drafted fourth. Shannon Bobbitt and Nicky Anosike went back-toback in the second round and Alberta Auguste was taken in the third round.

Asia Durr went second to the New York Liberty. The

Louisville guard, who was a two-time AP All-American, was the No. 2 scorer in school history. The Indiana Fever then took Mississippi State center Teaira McCowan at No. 3.

Chicago drafted a UConn player for the second consecutive season taking Katie Lou Samuelson fourth reconnecting her with former Huskies teammate Gabby Williams.

The Los Angeles Sparks took Baylor center Kalani Brown seventh. It's been a whirlwind 72 hours for the 6foot-7 center as she helped Baylor win a national championship on Sunday.

OP/ED

The Final Word

Have An Opinion?

by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Thank You Voters

I am thrilled with the results from the April 2 election, in particular the strong support shown for the Trenton R-9 School District as officials move forward with plans to continue improving facilities for our students and staff.

Over 71 percent of patrons casting ballots in the election voted in favor of allowing the 90-cent debt service levy to be continued for another 20 years.

This, in turn, will let the district sell bonds and pay for building projects that will include construction of a performing arts center and hallway sysDiane Lowrey tem for the high school/middle school campus, improvements to the high school/middle school media center, renovation of the entryway and office area at the elementary school and construction of a new concession stand and restroom facilities at C.F. Russell Stadium.

All of this at no additional cost to taxpayers.

There are so many good things about this project, with the first being, of course, making sure that our students are safe by keeping them inside throughout the day without having to go outside for classes (the high school/middle school projects) and giving an added layer of protection with construction of a second entryway where visitors will wait before being let into the building (Rissler Elementary School).

The second, and one which I am quite excited about, is the construction of a performing arts center that can be used not only by the school district for a number of activities, but will also be available for use by the community as well. There has been discussion by many groups for many years about trying to build such a facility, but money always seemed to be a stumbling block for the project to move ahead. As a past member of the Trenton Acting Guild, I can remember how hard it was to find a place that would seat the number of individuals who seemed to always want to attend a performance.

And as an attendee to many R-9 music performances and, more recently, a performance by the high school drama club, this facility will make those types of programs even more special - not only for the audience, but for the performers as well, providing them with a first-rate venue. With efforts now under way by the community to revive an organized arts program in Trenton, this facility will also provide a great location to hold a variety of arts-related programs.

Now That We Have Your Attention: Now Is The Time To Fight For Animal Agriculture

by Eric Bohl, Director of Public Affairs, Missouri Farm Bureau Raising cattle is a way of life in rural Missouri. We have the second-most cows of any state, behind only Texas. Much of our ag economy depends on beef to survive. The same could be said of pork, poultry or a number of other meat animals. So why write an article taste-testing a plant-based “burger”?

As a wake-up call to our industry. The makers of these new products have one goal: to eliminate animal agriculture. Their products are real, they’re here now, and many more are in the pipeline.

A recent Forbes article predicted 2019 as the possible turning point for these products.

It said: Industry observers are excited to see it all unfold. “It’s only the beginning,” says Caroline Bushnell, the Good Food Institute’s Senior Marketing Manager. “We’re in the early stage of a major shift,” she says. What’s sparked the change? “Companies are realizing that the market for plant-based meat isn’t just vegans or vegetarians, it’s meateaters.”

As already mentioned, Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, Memphis Meats, Mosa Meat, Future Meat Technologies and their competitors are determined to eliminate animal agriculture. It is not a side-goal; it’s their core mission.

Here’s a quote from Impossible Foods’ Mission Statement: “using animals to make meat is a prehistoric and destructive technology. Animal agriculture occupies almost half the land on earth, consumes a quarter of our freshwater and destroys our ecosystems. So we’re doing something about it: we’re making meat using plants, so that we never have to use animals again.”

Beyond Meat has a similar mission: “By shifting from animal, to plant-based meat, we are creating one savory solution that solves four growing issues attributed to livestock production: human health, climate change,

constraints on natural resources and animal welfare.” Just below these words, their official website claims that eating animal meat results in a 16 percent increased cancer risk and 21 percent increased heart disease risk (which it for some undecipherable reason adds together and displays in an infographic as 37 percent). It also claims “51 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (are) driven by livestock rearing and processing.”

Their investors include Tyson and HSUS. They recently announced plans to go public.

Memphis Meats is still in the research and development phase, but is a leader in developing lab-grown, or “cell-based” meat. This product would take actual animal cells, grow them in a controlled laboratory-like factory setting, and “harvest” the cells for consumption. This is the true Holy Grail for anti-animal-agriculture activists: obtaining animal meat without killing animals. And the idea has big money behind it – Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Cargill and Tyson have all invested in the company. As a Newsweek headline recently stated, many in the industry believe “Lab-Grown Beef Will Save the Planet—and Be a Billion-Dollar Business.”

Surely there’s some good news, though, right? Absolutely. First of all, price is a major consideration in any food-buying decision.

The makers of these products know they will not be taking major market share away from animal agriculture unless they can be at cost parity, or even less expensive than beef. The plant-based Impossible Whopper costs $5.49, whereas the regular Whopper is a dollar less at $4.49. That’s about a 22 percent premium for the Impossible version.

Second, our industry has the tools to make a stand and remain the dominant way of providing the protein and nutrients our bodies need. These companies are playing on emotions, making hugely misleading claims about the impact of animal agriculture on our bodies and planet, and claiming to be

saving the world from our evil industry.

They have no qualms about misleading labeling, similar to what we have seen with products such as almond “milk.” Beyond Foods’ Initial Public Offering (IPO) prospectus explicitly acknowledges this, stating: “The success of the plant-based dairy industry was based on a strategy of creating plant-based dairy products that tasted better than previous non-dairy substitutes, packaged and merchandised adjacent to their dairy equivalents. We believe that by applying the same strategy to the plant-based meat category, it can grow to be at least the same proportion of the approximately $270 billion meat category in the United States, which over time would represent a category size of $35 billion in the United States alone.”

Thankfully, Missouri is taking the lead in fighting misleading labeling with legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2018.

Our state was the first in the nation to clearly define the word “meat.” Missouri law now forbids companies from “misrepresenting a product as meat that is not derived from harvested production livestock or poultry.”

Like we have witnessed all too often in agriculture, these companies’ quest to repay venture capitalists or shareholders results in an all-or-nothing strategy. Build themselves up at the expense of others. Bud Light is a case in point.

Livestock farmers must stand up for their products. We must continue to articulate how well animals are treated by farmers. We must share why raising animals is good for the environment. We must continue to educate consumers on why livestock products are nutritionally superior for us and our children. We have a good story to tell.

We have to be proactive in combatting this coming wave of ill-intentioned profiteers.

This is an intense challenge to our industry, and we must continue to fight. The facts are on our side.

GOOD FOR YOU FOOD By your Hy-Vee registered dietitian, Cindy Eivins, MS, RDN, LD, CDE Why not take a new approach and make a list of foods that you can eat? There is no such thing as a miracle food, but there are certain foods that provide health benefits, energy and disease-fighting compounds and can easily be added to your diet. I call them power foods. Gradually add all ten power foods to your diet, so by the end of the year you will achieve your goal of eating healthier and possibly even shed some pounds.

10 Power Foods • Salmon. Fatty fish doesn’t sound as if it would be good for your heart, but studies show that eating fatty fish like salmon, tuna or sardines lowers your risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fatty fish a week. Bake, poach or grill fish and put in salads, tacos, pasta or rice dishes.

• Low-fat dairy. Don’t ditch dairy when trying to lose weight. In recent studies, women with the highest calcium intake from dairy foods lost the most weight and body fat compared to other groups. 3-A-Day of low fat dairy may help you lose weight and build your bones.

• Oatmeal. Over 40 studies show that the soluble fiber in Quaker oatmeal can help lower cholesterol. To help lower your cholesterol, add oatmeal to your muffins, meatloaf, cookies and fruit crisp toppings or eat it plain.

• Nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pecans and peanuts provide a handful of heart health. Nuts contain monounsaturated fats, the kind that has been shown to lower cholesterol.

Add nuts to oatmeal, muffins, trail mixes or in cooking.

• Sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious vegetables. They are loaded with carotene, vitamin C and fiber. Substitute a sweet potato for a baked potato at dinner.

• Spinach. Popeye proved that spinach is power food. Spinach is rich in vitamins and minerals that fight cancer and boost our immune system. Try it fresh in a salad.

• Beans. Beans are a great, inexpensive way to add fiber and protein to your diet. Make a vegetarian chili with a variety of beans or add beans to a casserole or a salad.

• Flaxseed. The high omega-3 fatty acid and soluble fiber content of flaxseed has beneficial effects for the heart. Ground flax can be added as a topping to yogurt or oatmeal or you can use it in baking and cooking • Tomatoes. Tomatoes are high in lycopene, an antioxidant shown to decrease risk of heart disease and prevent certain cancers. Cooked tomato products such as pasta sauces, soups and even ketchup provide the most doses of lycopene.

• Whole-Grain Bread. Whole grains are complex carbohydrates, or shall I say, “good” carbohydrates. Include three whole grains per day, like Quaker oatmeal, Smart Balance popcorn, a whole-grain cracker, or whole grain breads to get fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Look for these foods at your Trenton Hy-Vee and start along your path to better health!

Oh my goodness this weather has been flat out delicious. I enjoy an online Bible Study group and we've been going through the Bible since October and we're currently in Psalms. I've always had difficulty understanding many of the Psalms because some are written as poems. My IQ level is a plain spoken ole gal so poetry often leaves me scratching my head. I'm not proficient yet but I'm starting to get a handle on some of the themes and I think I'm a freckle less confused. Then again, I do

enjoy Cowboy Poetry so perhaps I'm translating the Psalms into Cowboy lingo. Many a day I believe God is shaking His head wondering what on earth He had when He created me.

Tips For Extending Grazing Season Cattle producers wanting to stretch the grazing season might want to add native warm-season grasses to their operations, says Jim Humphrey, University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist.

Both warm- and cool-season native grasses offer producers access to forage for grazing during extreme temperatures and precipitation.

Native warm-season grasses usually begin growing a few weeks later in the spring. They grow better during hot and dry summer months. Their deep roots help them tolerate drought better than cool-season grasses. They usually are better adapted to Missouri soils, climate and pests, Humphrey says.

Most tall fescue, Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary forage, is infected with an endophyte that can be toxic to cattle, especially during summer. It can cause poor animal performance, lower reproductive success and even death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer slumpâ&#x20AC;? often afflicts cattle grazed on fescue.

One way to prevent it is to shift grazing cattle to warmseason grasses in summer.

Humphrey recommends establishing native warm-season grasses in separate pastures, paddocks and hayfields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use a combination of native warmseason grasses to allow for more production throughout the growing season,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Establishment requires planning. Weed control during the establishment years promotes strong stands and persistent growth. With proper management, warm-season grasses improve soil fertility and provide good yields of high-quality forage. Stands of warm-season grass usually establish much more slowly than stands of cool-season grass.

Overgrazing or mowing too close to the ground can reduce yields of native warm-season grasses. Grazing and haying these grasses late in the growing season prevents them from storing good energy reserves in their roots for the following growing season.

For more information, persons can contact their local MU Extension center or go to NRCS-GrasslandsProject.missouri.edu.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way; but Facebook and Twitter may be our downfall. Anyone can post their commonsense belief, true or not.

Social media says vaccines harm kids. So, now kids die from preventable diseases.

Tweeting reigns right up to the top of government. Our leader says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need science, as he has common sense. He knows windmills cause cancer, according to his Tweet.

The Wall Street Journal had a good line last Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Democracy my ignorance is equal to your knowledge.â&#x20AC;? Well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ignore science.

Science prevails as it still discovers new truths. We must learn throughout our lives. Some things I learned in animal husbandry class a half century ago are no longer valid.

Animal mating became more precise by mapping the DNA of cattle. With genetic

Expected Progeny Differences herd owners improve quality in their beef. They make Prime grade beef calves that would have been low-grade beef using unknown genetics of a sale barn bull.

For 20 years I wrote many stories on profits made by using scientific protocols of Show-Me-Select. Yet, of the thousands of beef herd owners in Missouri, few adopt the science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have bulls that do the work of insemination,â&#x20AC;? some say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned cow breeding from my Grandpa, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need artificial insemination,â&#x20AC;? others say.

Common sense can be wrong. When a politician from the Bronx proposes laws about ridding cows, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in trouble. Common sense tells that cow farts cause climate change, destroying the earth.

Since I was a farm boy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent time with cows.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve yet to hear one fart. The other day I asked Dave Pat-

terson, MU Extension beef specialist: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you ever heard a cow fart?â&#x20AC;? Looking at me kinda weird, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, never have.â&#x20AC;?

I think Dave in his years of breeding cows and heifers probably stood behind more beef animals than about anyone.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Platoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of science. Observe and learn.

Cows do belch. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methane which biodegrades unlike CO2. Carbon dioxide, found in flatulence, lasts far beyond our lifetime. It accumulates in the atmosphere The political answer seems to be: Do away with hamburgers and eat vegan burgers. I assume thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bean burgers. From my Platonic observation, I know what beans do: They create gas.

Will we have millions of bean-burger eating humans passing gas, instead of cows belching?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common sense, right?

BEEF FARMERS ARE LEERY OF ADVICE ON CONTROLLING GASES FROM COWS We need more common sense. But, wait! Common sense means an idea is widely held, not that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right.

Some things appearing true arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Over the centuries weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that science yields truth.

Plato, a Greek philosopher about 400 years B.C., started scientific thinking. He urged learning by looking. Observe the laws of nature.

He lived in a culture when all things were controlled by Greek gods. There was a god for everything from sea to moon.

He spent a summer beside a lagoon, describing every living thing there. That book

remains useful.

It took time for science to advance beyond natural history. After an era called the Dark Ages, science grew based on experiments. In the 1600s it took off.

Early scientists didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an easy time, working against common sense.

On any morning we see the sun come up in the East to circle the earth in 24 hours. In 1633 Galileo was almost burned at the stake for saying the earth orbits the sun, not the other way around.

Everyone knew that was wrong, they saw the sun moving.

Show-Me-Select Sales Set April, May and June Dates In Four Auction Barns Across State Spring sales of Show-MeSelect replacement heifers are set in four auction barns across the state in April, May and June.

Spring sales offer bred replacement heifers for fall-calving herds, says Dave Patterson, University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist.

Heifers are guaranteed by the consignors to be pregnant.

About 90 percent of all heifers enrolled in SMS have been exposed to artificial insemination. This allows access to top genetics in a breed.

Catalogs printed the day of sale by local extension offices show data. Specialists say that buyers bid for genetic potential and breeder reputations.

Many buyers find it easier to buy bred heifers than to breed replacements within their farm herd.

Coordinators know that repeat buyers make a sale. After buying once, return bidders know the value they get from SMS sales.

Unlike most auctions, buyers coming early view the heifers in backlot pens before sales. Most consignors bring handouts or answer questions about their heifers.

The catalog gives expected calving dates. With timed AI, dates become more precise.

Timed AI allows shorter calving seasons. That cuts labor.

The base bid will rehabilitate a sewer main under Normal Street to correct flow problems, with work to be completed prior to the overlaying of Normal Street in the fall. Two alternates will result in a water main not crossing through a sanitary sewer manhole and eliminate several hundred feet of sanitary sewer main running parallel to Ninth street and being a potential source of infiltration water.

Total cost of the project will be $595,800, with funding coming from the current city budget as well as the 2019-20 budget.

Dear Annie: Usually active and energetic, I will be turning 80 in the spring. How I dread that birthday! Once my favorite season, spring now haunts me.

A fine artist, a painter, I still have dreams of finding a house to buy -- one where I could hang my paintings and invite people in to see them. I've been looking for several years. I'm finding that houses are either in undesirable locations or too expensive.

I never married and have rented and lived in apartments for many years. But I want to have a garden and be more involved and attend more activities.

I feel younger than I am, and people have told me that I look younger. Is it too late, I wonder, to have such goals? -Young at Heart Dear Young at Heart: Go for it and buy your first home.

Why dread spring? You feel and look like a spring chicken.

You may have to make some compromises when it comes to the location of the home, but at least it will be your own house.

You really are only as old as you feel, and you sound youth-

ful and excited about new adventures, such as cultivating your own garden. People are living much longer these days, so passing 100 years old is not out of the question. You could enjoy your house for 20-plus more years!

Why the dread on your birthday? What a huge milestone 80 is. Congratulations and happy birthday. What ages people -- and causes unhappiness -- is seeing the glass as half-empty instead of half-full.

You already made it to 80 and are in good health and have what sounds like a great career as a fine artist. Go show off your art to your friends and shine bright!

Dear Annie: I'm writing to you because of a disturbing fact that my dentist revealed to me. I'm about to have some major work done in my mouth.

I am a person who lives as close to an organic life as possible, so I wanted to be reassured that nothing harmful is going to be left behind in my mouth. I asked my dentist, "So, there won't be any plastics with BPA in them put into my mouth, right?" Bisphenol A has been taken out of all plas-

DOWN 1 Steve of Apple Inc.

ear Annie

tic bottles and toys because of government regulations. Imagine my shock when the dentist said, "We still use plastics with BPA in them." On a follow-up visit with a periodontist, I asked him the same question, to which he replied: "Your dentist was right. We are allowed to use plastics with BPA in them. It's a discussion that more people should be having with their dentists," because not as much money is spent on researching dental patients as is being spent on other types of research.

How could this be?! Isn't it illegal to put BPA into plastic consumer products? How is it OK for a dentist to leave a plastic product in your mouth that will leach BPA slowly into your bloodstream 24/7?

Please tell people to confirm with their dentists that they do not want products with BPA left behind in their mouths. My dentist, fortunately, respects my opinion and has promised me that he can build the prosthetics for my mouth without using any BPA plastics in them. Please tell everyone to ask the question. Maybe we can make a change happen. -Pass on the BPA, Please Dear Pass on the BPA: Thank you for bringing this fact to my attention. If any dentists out there have experience with this, I would love to hear from them.

Gilded Lilly

Eli Lilly is back on track after a period of lackluster performance brought on by generic competition for Cialis and other big sellers.

The question for investors, though, is whether the stock, which has been surging, still has room to grow.

Edwin Jones analyst Ashtyn Evans says Lilly has done a lot of things right. She likes Lilly’s recent purchase of Loxo Oncology, which sells the cancer drug Viktravi and is developing others. She also thinks Lilly was smart to spin off animal health business Elanco last month to focus on medicines for people.

Evans notes diabetes drugs like Trulicity and Jardiance,

Lilly’s bread and butter, are surging. And Lilly’s had three potential big sellers approved since 2017: Olumiant for rheumatoid arthritis, Emgality for preventing migraines and Verzenio for breast cancer.

Investors have taken note, pushing shares to near $128, up from $80 in the past year.

Evans thinks that might be a bit too pricey. She doesn’t think investors should dump the stock, but she says Lilly’s growth is slowing and its shares are expensive compared with those of other drugmakers.

“There’s more upside with companies like Merck and Pfizer,” she says.

Eli Lilly’s makeover: The Indianapolis company has diversified into drugs for cancer and immune disorders. But just its top 3 products for diabetes will still bring in roughly a third of revenue. ©2019 Tribune Content Agency, LLC All Rights Reserved.
