NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI COLLEGE

CITY OF TRENTON Appointments Made

Will Seek RFP For IT Upgrade

Trustees OK Balanced Budget With the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on colleges and universities of all sizes, trustees at North Central Missouri College approved a balanced 2020-21 budget and noted a healthy fund balance during a meeting on Tuesday. Total budgeted revenues and expenditures are listed at $12,467,871, not including a $61,608 note payment on the Barton Farm Campus, which is paid from designated cash reserves and is not included in the operational budget. One the revenue side, tuition and fees are listed at $7,372,321, a figure that is based on slightly lower enrollment due to credit hour production. That amount is $88,621 more than the previous year due to increases in tuition rates and fees approved earlier by the board as well as the addition of credit hours required for the practical nursing program. The increase in the PN credit hours will add an estimated $55,498 to the tuition revenue over last year. Although most of the tuition categories are expected to decrease in revenue, the college is expecting to see a hefty in-

crease ($151,870) in revenue for online tuition during the 2020-21 school year. State appropriations are estimated at $2,295,000 while local tax revenue is projected at $353,500. Other income will add $385,500 to a total of $10,406,321 in total operating revenue. Another $2,061,550 from the auxiliary operations fund brings the total to $12,467,871. Expenditures include $5,396,057 in salaries with another $1,594,466 in fringe benefits. No across-the-board salary increases are planned this year. The budget does include $36,184 in increased costs for employee health insurance. “Other operating expenses” are projected at $3,415,798, bringing the total operating expenses to $10,406,321. Auxiliary operations expenses are projected as the same as the revenue in that category, $2,061,550, for a total of $12,467,871. Vice President of Business and Finance Tyson Otto said there “is a good deal of uncertainty” with the budget this year and told trustees that while there is not a hiring freeze, officials will

C ARES Actt Fu unding Fo or Students North Central Missouri College has been directly distributing Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding to eligible students as well as providing services to help students adapt to the changes revolving around COVID-19. Thus far, NCMC has distributed $133,860 to 281 students in federal emergency financial aid grants directly to qualifying students through the CARES Act and tis still accepting student applications for funding distribution. Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley said the college has over $450,000 to distribute and encourages students to apply for the funding. To qualify, students must have taken at least one on-ground course during the Spring 2020 semester and be from the U.S. or an eligible noncitizen. Information on eligibility and how to apply is available to students at the website, https://www.ncmissouri.edu/studentlife/ncmc-cares-grantfaqs/. The deadline for Spring 2020 students to apply is Aug. 1. Additional information is available at www.ncmissouri.edu or by contacting the financial aid department at 660-359-3948, ext. 1513. NCMC also received CARES Act money to help the college in COVID19 preparations. The college has provided a free virtual class on how to take courses online as well as purchased shielding, masks and cleaning supplies. These, in addition to other efforts, will be in place to provide returning and new students, faculty and staff a safe learning environment for the Fall 2020 semester and beyond.

The Trenton City Council took action on several items, including ordinances and committee appointments, during a meeting on Monday night. On a vote of 8-0, the council approved two ordinances involving Howe Company LLC, which is providing engineering services to the city on two projects. The first ordinance approves a work order for installation of a six-inch water main to supply potable water to the wastewater plant. The order outlines a scope of services to be provided, including development of a feasibility study, design services, bidding services and construction contract administration. The cost is $33,000. The second ordinance approves a work order to extend water and sewer extension services beyond Hoover Drive at a cost not to exceed $12,000. The project would allow for development of property in that area recently purchased by Kipp and Cara McClellan, who would reimburse the city for the cost of the engineering work. A third ordinance was approved on a vote of 7-1, prohibiting parking on a portion of Mariner Road from Lake Trenton Drive to 350 feet south of that intersection. Glen Briggs voted no. The council voted to add two members of the public to the city utility committee, which is currently made up of the three city council members who serve as chairmen of the economic development, finance and administrative committees. Third ward councilwoman Cathie Smith said she felt having members of the public on the committee would bring a different perspective to discussions regarding utility projects as well as provide public input when decisions on rates are being made. It was suggested the terms be for four years, with the members to be appointed by the mayor with approval of the council. City Attorney Tara Walker will bring an ordinance amendment to the council for consideration at its July 13 meeting. The council voted to accept a proposal from SunbeltSolomon Solutions to replace an electric transformer at the south substation. The transformer cost was listed at $299,995 while installation was listed at $57,670. The project had been budgeted at $450,000. Discussion was held regarding a draft lease agreement with Jason Bickel, who wants to lease land at the airport and build a new hangar

GC CNHD Board OKs Budge et The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors, which oversees operations of Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments, approved a budget during a board meeting on Tuesday, June 16. According to information provided by Administrator Jerry Doerhoff, the 2020-21 budget shows revenues anticipated at $5,390,019 while expenditures are estimated at $5,346,607. The revenues include a $5 per day increase in private and semi-private rooms on the nursing home side. There is no increase anticipated for apartment rates. The budget goes into effect on July 1. A presentation was made by Malicoat-Winslow regarding the facility energy project, with proposals to be ready for consideration by the board at the July meeting. Approval was given for asphalting the back parking lot and board members heard a report on various activities held during the month. It was noted that activities are being done on each station to accommodate CDC guidelines for social distancing. A drive-by parade is being planned in July to allow residents to see family members. An executive session was held to approve the February closed meeting minutes. The next meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, with the location to be determined based on pandemic restrictions. ********** SATURDAY, JUNE 27 Grundy R-5 Fifth & Sixth Grade Graduation, 10 a.m. Grundy R-5 High School Graduation, 2 p.m. Junior/Senior High Gym at Galt

BASEBALL IS BACK... ... And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Not Sure If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Excited, Annoyed Or A Little Bit Of Both

SETH HERROLD @HERROLDTIMES

Baseball is back. If you have been around social media at all in the last couple of days, you have probably seen this proclaimed by your friends, who are donning their favorite teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gear and launching into their favorite pre-season baseball traditions... for the second time this year. As I scrolled through the dregs of Twitter, the imagery of Instagram and the outdated pages of Facebook on Wednesday morning (though the announcement was made on Tuesday night*) one thing was constant at nearly every turn people are excited that baseball is coming back. Even if it is for just a 60-game season that may, or may not depending on the impact of the coronavirus, end with playoffs in October, per usual.

* Quick aside here. I was late to the party on the announcement because my phone battery was running on E Tuesday night and my threeyear-old, Cash, had earned some screen time. When he was done, the battery was dead and I put it on the charger and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at it until the next morning. Anyway, the point of this is, if you have young kids like me, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;YouTube Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; app is lifechanging. We used to just let him watch YouTube on our browsers when he got screen time and he always clicked on pop ups or links or ended up in different apps trying to purchase stuff. With â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;YouTube Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; there are no pop ups, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go elsewhere on the internet and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very easy to get out of the app. There is even a built in timer on it so you can set how long they can watch it before it locks. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sports column, but that is a parenting hack that is too good not to pass on to others. Okay, back to sports. Baseball has long been my favorite sport of which to be a

fan. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written about my love of the game in this space on many occasions. Somehow, this old-timey mainstay reached out and grabbed me from footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death grip that holds the heavy majority of sports fans across the nation. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, I love the Chiefs and the Missouri Tigers and both have happily taken plenty of my money through the years between tickets and merchandise, but I have always answered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when the hypothetical question gets asked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you could only be a fan of one team for the rest of your life, who would it be?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So I should have been at the front of the line with my Royals hat on, posting my joy for the return of a game when the announcement came down that there would be a season in 2020 - at least in some form. But I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I, like many baseball fans, was put out when the players and owners couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to some sort of an agreement to play baseball this year. There were plenty who blamed the players and even more who

blamed the owners. I found fault, and a lot of it, with both sides. Billionaires and millionaires bickering over money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everyone. I fall into that camp. At one point someone asked me if I thought there would be a baseball season and my gut reaction was I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. It had gotten that bad. I feel like that was probably the case for a lot of people. Of that group, there will probably be some that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back to the sport. I had made contingency plans. I dove into being a Sporting Kansas City fan. Unlike the MLB, the Major League Soccer owners and players not only came to an agreement for this year, but wound up settling on a collective bargaining agreement that runs through 2025. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;MLS is Back Tournamentâ&#x20AC;? in Orlando is set to begin about the same time MLB players will be reporting to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spring Training 2.0â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or whatever they are calling it. I still plan to follow Sporting as closely as my other Kansas City professional franchises. When the time comes, I would like to take in a game at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mercy Park. Everyone I have ever talked to who has been to a Sporting match (in soccer they call them matches, not games) has had nothing but

positive things to say about the experience. Despite my damaged relationship with baseball and my newfound Sporting fandom, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be one of the fans the MLB, more specifically the Royals, loses because of this. I will still watch. I will get to the level of excitement in time that everyone else seems to be at right now. Maybe it will be when players report to their home ballparks next week. Maybe it will be when the season starts. Maybe it will be when the Royals suddenly get hot and it seems like they have a chance to back-door their way into the playoffs. The time will come, though, because I love baseball too much for it not to. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations are... Read: The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty by Ethan Sherwood Strauss. Did you enjoy the ESPN documentary

on Michael Jordan and the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chicago Bulls? Well here is a book that chronicles another NBA dynasty. This one is maybe one you are more familiar with, depending on your age. It is a great look into how one of the greatest NBA teams ever was assembled and, almost as quickly, disbanded. Watch: The Travelers Championship is this weekend at TPC River Highlands. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditionally one of my favorite non-major golf tournaments and was even before Jordan Spieth holed a bunker shot in a playoff to win the 2017 title. It will be on all weekend, but the late pairings on Championship Sunday will air on CBS at 2 p.m. Eat: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating recommendation is Smoked Iguana BBQ. The food truck has been posting up at Black Silo Winery select evenings. In addition to their BBQ offerings, they do pizzas on Thursday nights.

allow the college to withstand a shortfall, if it happens, noting that he wants to reassure the board, employees and future and current students that the college is in good financial shape. NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver commended Otto and the staff for their work on the budget. He said NCMC is doing things in the best interest of the college for now and for the future. The Workforce Development Board Program Year 20 budget was also approved by trustees. The budget shows projected revenues of $241,711 and anticipated expenditures of $287,478, leaving a deficit of $45,767. In addition to the budget, trustees approved revised job titles and descriptions for the director of admissions and marketing and technical support engineer and approved an updated organizational chart. The resignation of Kadi Gamble as an employee at the college bookstore was accepted, with an effective date of June 11. Trustees approved the 202021 college calendar and gave approval to the five-year agreement with SoftDocs for document imaging and online forms services. The cost of the first year of the agreement will be $84,100, which includes both the annual cloud subscription fee and professional services. The cost for subsequent years is $45,835, year two; $47,210, year three; $48,626, year four; and $50,085, year five. The purchase is anticipated to be covered partially by CARES Act funding and the remainder from the existing computer operations budget. In other business, the board: â&#x20AC;˘ authorized Chief Information Officer Jennifer Triplett to issue a Request for Proposals for an IT infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x153;uplift.â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Triplett gave a report on the state of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IT infrastructure and the issues that are facing NCMC due to an aging system. The estimated cost is $1 to $1.5 million, with pricing options that could run $200,000 to $300,000 per year for a five-year period. â&#x20AC;˘ heard a report from Dr. Klaver, who discussed dates

for the sports seasons that are affected by the pandemic (see story in the June 23 Republican-Times). Summer enrollment is down 8 percent in head count over last year and 2 percent in credit hours, he said, but is still tracking as an increase from both 2018 and 2017. Dr. Klaver said fall enrollment is currently down 6.5 percent in head count and 5.2 percent in credit hours compared to this time last year. He noted that the college has seen its two largest graduating classes in the past two years. Dr. Klaver also gave an update on a proposed new residence hall, reported on legislative issues and said the strategic planning process continues with special emphasis on enrollment management. â&#x20AC;˘ heard a report on the Green Hills Head Start Program, which is administered through the college. The program has completed its Self-Assessment Training and presented those findings to the board. Directors Susan Ewigman and Janet Gott discussed their programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and goals as well as how the program is handling the COVID-19 situation. Summer school is being held virtually but it is hoped that classes can be held in person this fall, although each county will have a different plan based on its COVID-19 case numbers. The new building in Trenton is nearing completion and an open house is being planned for early August. â&#x20AC;˘ heard a report from Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre on how the college is reacting to the COVID-19 situation, including making plans to reduce class size and being sure social distancing can take place. Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley said there is still more funding available for students through the CARES Act and discussed efforts to get the word out to students that they should apply for those funds. She said the residence halls are nearly full for the fall semester and discussed Title IX changes that will go into effect this summer. She also said staff has been devising plans on how to handle a positive COVID-19 case in the residence halls, if that should happen. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28.

Extension News by Kathi Mecham Field Specialist In Horticulture HORTICULTURE TOWN HALL MEETINGS Do you have questions about your garden, trees or lawn? As many of you know, the University of Missouri Extension office is the place to call for information you can rely on. Now, many of your questions can be answered at the Horticulture Town Hall meetings. On Wednesday mornings at 11 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, join MU state and regional specialists for meetings on various horticulture topics. The virtual Town Hall meetings are designed for you to submit questions in advance or in the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chat feature. This is an opportunity to submit questions and to learn about other pertinent horticulture topics from across the state such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with my sycamore tree?â&#x20AC;? The cool damp weather this spring provided the perfect conditions for sycamore anthracnose. The tree fails to leaf out normally, leaving many bare tree limbs and folks asking if their tree is dying. If it is anthracnose, then the answer is no, the tree is probably not dying. As the temperatures increase and the rains decrease, the trees should start leafing out and by mid-July, the sycamore will look close to normal, flushed out with the large leaves the tree is known for. Or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are there any shade-loving annuals that bloom?â&#x20AC;? The answer is yes. The impatient flower is a well-known shade-loving annual. They offer

a variety of colors and consistent blooms throughout the season. Begonias are another common shade-blooming annual but with many new varieties, there is nothing common about what they add to the garden. Lobelia is yet another shade-loving annual with pale to brilliant blue flowers. The list goes on to include Torenia, Fuchsia and more. Another popular gardening question is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I control squash bugs?â&#x20AC;? Crop trapping is one option. You fool the bug by using an attractive plant to draw the bug away from the desired plant. Grow these plants around the perimeter of the garden. It is important to plant them two weeks before the desired plant. Insects will gather on the crop plant and can then be destroyed. Join us to have your questions answered and to learn from othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions. Specialists provide information on insects, lawn care, trees, vegetable gardening and so much more.

Use Your Mowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highest Setting For Fewer Weeds And Lusher Grass University of Missouri Extension turf pathologist Lee Miller says mowing too low is a common mistake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want your grass to be the trees of your lawn,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your feet should sink into the grass.â&#x20AC;? Miller says more than 10 separate studies since 1958 have found a direct correlation between mowing heights below 3.5 inches and substantial increases of weeds such as dandelion, white clover and crabgrass for tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass lawns. Mowing grasses to their optimal height - 3 1/2 to 4 inches for tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass, including mixes; and 1-2 inches for zoysiagrass - gives them a competitive advantage over weeds. Cutting high keeps sunlight and heat from weeds. As grasses grow, there is less room for weeds to grow. In short, a weed in need is a good thing. When weeds cannot grow, turfgrass roots get more room to spread and become more dense. The more leaf a plant has now, the more sunlight it can harvest and the more food it can make for itself. When temperatures rise in summer, grasses face intense stress

from heat, drought and disease. Giving grasses ample leaf tissue helps them withstand that stress. For a healthier and more attractive lawn, never mow more than a third of the leaf and avoid clippings that clump, says Miller. Mow often to avoid taking off too much at one time, but make sure the grass is actively growing when you do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We often see a lack of growth and turfgrass dormancy during drought and high temperatures,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t growing, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be mowing.â&#x20AC;? Conversely, take care when mowing after big rainstorms. Under the weight of a mower, saturated soils can rut and are more easily compacted. Also, avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;ring around the collarâ&#x20AC;? trimming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cutting short in areas around roads, sidewalks and lawn margins. Scalped areas become a hot spot for weeds, particularly foxtails and crabgrass, which will soak up the extra heat from the asphalt and quickly outgrow scalped turfgrass. For more lawn care information, visit MUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Integrated Pest Management website at ipm.missouri.edu

Wet Weather Triggers Mole Activities Follow the food. That is the mantra of moles as they follow their favorite food, earthworms, and tunnel throughout your yard. A molehill creates an upheaval of soil surrounding a vertical tunnel shaft, which often occurs after big rains, that is an exit point for moles to get some air, says University of Missouri Extension turf pathologist Lee Miller. Both tunnels and molehills can trap falling worms and serve as fast-food drive-thru lanes for moles. These pesky mammals usually do most of their furrowing and burrowing in spring and fall, but excess rainfall can trigger activity at other times. Moles alternate between sleeping and being active every two hours, but do not mistake them as sluggish. The velvety creatures are lightning

fast, Miller says. They are voracious eaters, consuming 75%-80% of their body weight daily. Their strong forepaws have an extra thumb, and they can dig a foot a minute when in hot pursuit of food. Moles are often maligned for destroying flowers and ornamentals. Actually, the damage comes from their tunnels, which can expose roots to air, causing them to dry and die, says Miller. Some homeowners try in vain to rid their lawns of moles by applying grub control insecticides, thereby depriving moles of food, but earthworms are their main food source. Three main controls exist for moles, Miller says. The key to all of them is to find active runways. Take a wooden dowel or stick and collapse a number of areas along the runway system, flagging them to

track their location. Remember that moles feed and rest in twohour cycles, so check back in three to four hours for areas that mole activity has pushed upward. Place controls along these active runways. 1. Repellents. Give the moles to your neighbor. Many repellents sold at nurseries and garden centers contain castor bean oil. Control can last one to three months, but rain or irrigation often shortens control. Follow label directions. 2. Baits. These prove effective, particularly ones that are shapedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and some even claim to be flavoredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like earthworms. Wear rubber gloves when handling to protect your-

This remains the most effective and efficient means of control. Several trap types exist. Among the more effective types are scissor-type traps. They can be stepped on to open trap along the runway.

OP/ED

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart

Improving Community Appearance

The Building and Nuisance Board of the City of Trenton continues to do important work for the future or our community. The most recent meeting of the board was on Monday night and an article in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper summarizes their actions in getting damaged and dilapidated structures either repaired or torn down. The board works with property owners to encourage them to make needed improvements to their property which, if not required to do so, would leave the structures in continuWendell Lenhart ous disrepair and eventually become worse and worse. The board has several tools at its disposal and can designate properties to various stages that require improvements be made within a certain timeframe or the owners can face legal action. Properties beyond repair can be demolished under a program provided by the city that shares the cost with the property owner. This program has existed for many years and although changes do not occur overnight, steady progress has been made in removing dangerous and damaged houses and buildings throughout the community. I applaud the city council and members of the building board for the work they are doing and I hope the city council will continue this work. It is beneficial to the future of our community and helps keep properties that have become an eyesore from accumulating and degrading the appearance of Trenton to visitors and future residents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy work to cajole and otherwise force owners to be responsible for the safety and condition of their property when they would otherwise do nothing. We need to continue with this effort to help ensure the continued progress we are seeing on many fronts in Trenton. Along with the work the city is doing, it sure is beneficial for residents to clean up and improve their own properties. Not only does it help with appearance, it will increase the value of their property as well as the whole neighborhood. ##### More quarantine humor: I never thought the comment â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch him/her with a 6-foot poleâ&#x20AC;? would become national policy, but here we are.

Harriett Woods

As I reflect on the final months of term-limited state legislators who have made a profound difference for the state, I also remember Harriett Woods.

Guest Editorials While the St. Louis County Democrat gained national attention for her efforts for women, I think about what a superb state legislator she became on other issues. When she first entered the Missouri Senate in 1977, it was not a particularly positive environment for a metro-area, liberal woman legislator. The chamber was dominated by an old-boys' network of largely rural and very conservative male legislators. In the era before term limits, a legislator usually could not accomplish much until gaining significant seniority. But Woods had an advantage to quickly become a dominating force because, in part, she knew how to use the media. She had been a newspaper and TV journalist and, before that, editor of her university's student newspaper. In addition, she was married to the editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and then the Globe-Democrat. So, she knew how to use the media to focus public attention on issues in ways I don't think the oldguard legislators of the past understood. Woods did not have media managers or spokespersons to issue releases. She knew how to be far more effective.

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News Use of those skills led to public pressure on the legislature on issues including stronger protections for nursing home residents, consumer protection and tougher laws on drunken driving. My favorite memory of her involved drunken driving legislation. Although I don't remember that drunken driving was a top issue for Woods, I interviewed her for the close of a multi-week KMOX investigative series on the loopholes lawyers used to help clients avoid drunken-driving convictions. During the interview, she quickly seized onto the issue as high legislative priority. In that interview, as in others, she sometimes would answer a question with a response to something else. That's a typical approach of politicians when asked about something they're not prepared to answer or do not want to address -- Just talk about anything else to avoid the topic asked. But that was not Woods' intention. She ultimately would answer my question. But her initial response usually was more news worthy. I became a far better interviewer from my sessions with her. Woods' historical legacy is focused on women's rights and women in public office. She came to the Senate during the height of the battle to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It politically was a difficult time for women legislators. They were split on the ERA and many found themselves categorized by that one issue.

Woods supported the ERA, bu from the very beginning she made i clear she was not going to allow her self to be pigeon-holed as a single issue legislator. But ultimately, women in politics and government became her signa ture issue. She was the first woman in Mis souri history elected to a statewide office, although months before the 1984 election, another women Margaret Kelly - was appointed to fil the vacant state auditor's position and became the first woman to hold statewide office. Twice, Woods was the Demo cratic nominee for the U.S. Senate narrowly losing both times. Those races propelled her onto the national stage. She became president of the National Women's Political Caucus that helped politica campaigns of women across the country. In an era before any woman held a statewide office or legislative lead ership position, it's easy to forge what a trail blazer Harriett Woods had been. College football fans may remem ber Woods as the mother of MU's quarterback, Pete Woods, who be came a member of the Missour Sports Hall of Fame in large part fo his 1976 upset victory over Ohio State, which was nationally ranked #2 and led by famous football coach Woody Hayes. Harriet Woods passed Feb. 8 2007 -- but not before being able to attend the swearing in of the nation's first female speaker of the U.S House.

What Others Are Saying... SB600 - Safer Streets

Senate Bill 600 went through plenty of changes during its march toward final passage in what proved to be an extraordinary and bizarre legislative session. But the overall intent of the Sen. Tony Luetkemeyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation never wavered: to make Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets safer by keeping some of the most violent, repeat offenders behind bars.

Guest Editorials At one point, it passed the Senate on a 272 vote. The measure gained final approval in the House with a tally of 97-51. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed is the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of crime, punishment and law enforcement in the wake of another unarmed black man dying in police custody. The death of George Floyd lit a fuse of protest against injustice and a re-evaluation of policing in the United States. It generated a much-needed national de-

bate, but it also created an aura of skepticism for a bill that adds second-degree murder to the list of offenses that are not eligible for probation in Missouri. The measure also creates a new offense of vehicle hijacking and enhances the sentences for the use of a weapon while committing a violent crime or for possessing a firearm illegally. Critics call this measure a flawed approach to criminal justice and urge Gov. Mike Parson to veto it. They would be correct if it was the only approach, but it is not. It does little to reverse reforms approved last year that seek to ease prison overcrowding and acknowledge that non-violent offenders, especially those with drug offenses, are better off being reintegrated into society. That does not change. This legislation deals with the other side of the coin: the small number of repeat offenders who cycle through the criminal justice system and commit violent crime that impacts quality of life in Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cities and rural areas.

TT renton n Citt y C o un n cii l Some say SB 600 would necessitate the building of new prisons, something Missouri can ill-afford during the coronavirus recession, but that should be subject to future appropriation and the success of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reforms. In the end, Luetkemeyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill does not address the core issue in the current national debate, which is how police treat people before thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence of a crime being committed, let alone a question of probation eligibility or maximum punishments. This is an issue to deal with in future sessions, but it is outside the scope of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk. It would be an understatement to say that Luetkeymeyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough-on-crime approach appears out of sync with the zeitgeist. Yet it is possible to square this legislation with the overall mood in the country, to attempt to keep violent criminals off the street and to demand an end to racism and a profound change in the way law enforcement interacts with minorities. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; St. Joseph News-Press

have taken Ray home with me to clean up. I would have put him in a program that I went to with him. I would have had a sponsor for him. But I never ever had the chance to help my son. How do I overcome this anger, this blame and this outrage at Tom for simply allowing my other son to turn back to drugs? -- R. Dear R: I am so incredibly sorry that your son, Ray, died. No parent should have to outlive a child. I wish I could say something to make it better. But the truth is, there is some pain too deep for words to reach. Your rage is understandable. You might find yourself preoccupied with anger toward Tom, because in a way it's more manageable than focusing on the fact that Ray is gone. But it's very possible that Ray would still be gone right now even if Tom had alerted you to what was going on. And as you seem to recognize based on your letter, you cannot let your anger toward Tom consume you, robbing you of that relationship, too. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be worked

Dear Annie: I am shattered and torn apart. My son, who served eight and half years in prison for drugs, was released last Thanksgiving. Within four days of release, "Ray" had a job as a cook, had joined a gym and was working out every day. His life was all positive. Then the pandemic came. The restaurant closed, and the gym shut down. Ray turned back to drugs. Five months after his release, he is deceased. He overdosed. He had been living with his twin brother, "Tom." Apparently, the restaurant manager called Tom and told him that Ray was doing drugs. Tom confronted Ray to no avail. My problem is I hold my son, Tom, responsible for Ray's death. Why? He never once called me, when I live 25 minutes away and would have been there in a heartbeat. It dawned on me days later -- why did my son never call me about the drug use his brother had returned to? Tom was fearful I would have Ray put back in jail and then prison.

through in this meager space. You must reach out to a counselor, grief support groups and support groups for families who have been impacted by addiction. No one can endure this alone. Some resources for your consideration: Nar-Anon (https://www.nar-anon.org), Families Anonymous (https://www.familiesanonymous.org/) LifeRing Secular Recovery (https://www.lifering.org/), and Refuge in Grief (https://refugeingrief.com). Dear Annie: In response to "Mortified," who suffers from random attacks of reliving embarrassing memories: I, too, have experienced unrelenting memories of cringe-worthy moments. I have found a lot of relief through self-compassion and meditation. I say the things I would say to a friend: "Yes, that happened but it's over now. You are a good person. You are loved and lovable." Then I can give myself a hug and breathe through the memory. Once calm, I redirect my thoughts to something positive. There are books on self-compassion that would help "Mortified." -- Been There Dear Been: This is excellent advice, and I especially like the line about talking to yourself as though you were a friend. Many of us show our friends so much more compassion than we show ourselves. Thanks for writing.

What’s the ‘real’ unemployment rate?

The coronavirus has made it harder to calculate the most widely known economic measure: The unemployment rate. The official rate was 13.3% in May and 14.7% in April, the highest levels since the Great Depression. Yet those figures don’t capture the full picture. Many people who saw their layoffs as temporary told government survey-takers that they still had jobs, probably because their employers had said they’d recall them to work once government shutdown orders ended. But under the government’s own definition, these people should have been classified as unemployed. Yet the government didn't

change the results of its surveys because doing so might have raised concerns about manipulation. Had it fixed that mistake, 4.9 million more people would have been rightfully classified as unemployed. Roughly 6.6 million additional people who have lost jobs haven’t sought new ones, either because they saw few opportunities or were caring for children or had health concerns. These people, too, weren’t classified as unemployed in May. Adding those two categories would have raised May’s unemployment rate to 19.7%. At least that was below what the rate would have been in April: 23.5%.
