GRUNDY COUNTY Commission Meets

Officers Elected For Coming Year

New Park Superintendent Named The Trenton Park Department has a new superintendent following action taken at a meeting of the city park board on Wednesday. According to board president Duane Helmandollar, David Shockley has been hired to fill the position left vacant by the resignation of long-time superintendent Jason Shuler in June. Shockley, who has served as the assistant superintendent for the past four years, will be paid $39,520 annually and will begin his duties immediately. Helmandollar said Shockley will assist with the process of hiring his assistant. In other business, Helmandollar was re-elected president of the mayor-appointed board, with Andy Cox elected vice president and Curtis Crawford being

elected as secretary. John Hamilton, who was recently appointed to the board, was welcomed as was second ward councilman Marvin Humphreys, who will serve as the city council liaison to the board. Helmandollar said he appreciated the work of past board members, noting Gary Berry had served on the board multiple terms and had helped with the effort to pass the sales tax that helped fund the Trenton Family Aquatic Center. Shockley submitted a written report, noting the discus area near C.F. Russell Stadium is complete. With the aquatic center closed this summer due to COVID19 concerns, it is being painted by TFAC manager Emily Kasinger and other pool employees. The trim

Lien Removed From Property

Improvements To Fire Vehicle Are Approved The Trenton City Council took action on expenditures for the fire department as well as materials to extend water and sewer lines in north Trenton during a meeting on Monday night. The council approved a request from Fire Chief Brandon Gibler to spend $11,824 from the fire tax fund to install equipment on the command vehicle, which was delivered to the city in February. The work was scheduled to be done in March by Vision Upfitters in Cameron, however, a shutdown due to COVID-19 delayed that process. The original estimate for the work was $10,000, which had been included in the 2019-20 budget but was not spent and the money remains in the fire tax fund. Gibler told the council he felt the new amount was “reasonable” and noted the additional funds were available. Work includes installation of lights, a siren, a radio, a console mount, a control box, tube steps, a bed slide-out tray, a bed cover and miscellaneous items. In a related matter, the council agreed to allow City Administrator Ron Urton to make a determination regarding additional expenditures anticipated with repairs being made to Engine 10. Gibler told the council the cost for the work at this time is just over $14,000. However, it was discovered that repairs to the cab lift were also needed, which was not included in the original cost estimate but, Gibler said, needs to be done. After brief discussion regarding what those costs might be, it was decided to leave the decision up to Urton as to how much more

money would be reasonable to spend on the work. Gibler said he could not give the council an estimate as the company doing the work was unsure if parts would be available or if a retrofit would need to be done. The council voted to pay for materials associated with the extension of water and sewer lines to an area being developed for location of rental cottages in north Trenton. Kipp and Cara McClellan made the request for the funding, which was estimated at $15,602. Around 600 feet of water lines and 462 feet of sewer lines are to be built, allowing the cottages to have access to those city services. It was noted the money would most likely come from the TMU water and sewer capital project funds. The council voted to remove a lien the city has on property at 1314 Norton St., allowing Ralph Cutsinger to work with the owners to purchase the property. A $2,500 lien was placed on the property after the owners, Bret and Penny Buswell, failed to pay that amount as their share of costs to have a structure demolished. Under the arrangement with the city, Cutsinger said he would pay $500 to the city for removal of the lien so that he could move forward with purchasing the property. He told the council he wanted to make sure the property remained cleaned up. It was noted the city could still attempt to collect the remaining $2,000 owed by the Buswells. See Council, Page 12

In committee reports, Gary Schuett said trees and plants are being watered regularly and he has begun pruning trees at Moberly Park. Crawford told the board there have been many cancellations for facility rentals this summer, although some auctions have been held at park facilities. Helmandollar said he has met with Street Supervisor Gary Dryer to discuss the entrance to Burleigh Grimes Field and the need for some potholes to be filled in park department lots. The next regular meeting of the board is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

The Utility Committee of the Trenton City Council will meet at 6 o’clock tonight (Friday) at city hall. Items on the announced agenda include election of a chairman, department report, a director’s update and a review of monthly financial reports.

Pro opertty Ad ddress Re emind der The Trenton Police Department is reminding owners and/or occupants of local residences and businesses that they are responsible for the address numbering on their properties. The police department notes that emergency service providers cannot help someone at a specific address if the address cannot be found. Trenton City Code states street numbers are to be placed in a “prominent and conspicuous location,” and should be of a sufficient size that is legible from the street, with a four-inch minimum size. Street numbers may also be displayed in additional locations of the property at the discretion of the owner.

Back To School Information Discussed Back to school agenda discussions and tax rate hearing dates topped agendas of recent meetings of boards of education at Princeton R-5, Laredo R-7 and Tri-County R-7. Princeton R-5 The Princeton R-5 Board of Education heard back to school information regarding response to the COVID-19 pandemic during its meeting on Monday night. According to Superintendent Jerry Girdner, the 2020-21 school year will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 25 with students attending classes in person on a five-day week schedule. District administrators will be meeting with Mercer County Health Department officials in late July to finalize details of the plan, which is designed to be a quick reference for students, parents, teachers and patrons. Girdner said the district will continue to monitor the situation and plan for a safe re-entry for all involved. “Although the plan will guide the district’s efforts in response to the pan-

demic, it is important to note the Princeton R-5 schools cannot prevent the possible transmission or contraction of COVID-19 for any individual,” Girdner said. The board approved product bids for the 2020-21 school year, including Bimbo Bakeries for bread items, Anderson Erickson for milk items and MFA Oil of Princeton for fuel. Approval was also given to the student and staff handbooks. The board set the annual tax rate hearing for 5:15 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 10, prior to the regular board meeting. Following an executive session, the board approved the employment of Ashlie Powell as elementary/high school librarian for the next school year. Laredo R-7 Approval was given to several items during a meeting of the Laredo R-7 Board of Education on Monday night. Administrator Misty Foster reported approval was given to the student/faculty handbook as well as the emergency

following the recommendation from the USDA. The 2020-21 meal prices are $1 for breakfast and $1.95 for lunch, grades kindergarten through four; $1.25 for breakfast and $2.20 for lunch, grades five through 12; and $1.75 for breakfast and $2.50 for lunch, adults. Reduced student meal prices are 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. Approval was given to bids from Graves Foods for bread, Hiland Dairy for milk products and Landes Oil and MFA for fuel. The board approved the employee and student handbooks for next year and voted to request bids for a $150,000 certificate of deposit that matures in August. There was discussion regarding the 2020-21 budget, with no action taken. The board set the annual tax rate hearing for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20. The next meeting of the board will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 6 in the superintendent’s office at the school in Jamesport.

April Brush Control Vote Set Voters in Grundy County will be asked to approve a measure that would allow the county to enforce brush control following action taken at Tuesday’s meeting of the Grundy County Commission. According to information provided by Presiding Commissioner Phillip Ray, the commission voted to place the issue on the April 2021 ballot. If approved, the measure would allow the county to enforce brush control adjacent to county roads. The issue would need a simple majority to pass and would allow the county to set procedures for the brush removal. After meeting with Nikki Moyer of Howe Company, the commission accepted a bid from Decker Construction of Lathrop for replacement of a bridge on SW 80th St. The bid, which was the lowest received, was for $520,897.05. The project had been estimated at $492,806 and had a high bid of $614,803.76. In other action items, the commission voted to set the county payroll date on or before the last working day of each month. It was announced the Road and Bridge crew will be completing work on a drainage correction project on NW 50th Street near Brimson. Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs reported that three FEMA disaster sites are 100 percent complete, with funding available upon final approval. He said Emergency Management Performance Grant funds in the amount of $630 are expected to be released by the state for use in the county. He also reported the Missouri Emergency Response Commission was to meet on Thursday, July 16 with funds for Community Emergency Preparedness being released to the county within the next 30 days. Those funds, which are expected to total $2,600, are primarily used for hazardous materials training and Local Emergency Planning Committee meetings. It was noted there are two active cases of COVID-19 in Grundy County and staff with the Grundy County Health Department are meeting with county school officials and event organizers in an effort to promote safety. The commission will be meeting as part of the Grundy County Board of Equalization on Monday, July 20.

NJCAA Updates Sports Plan North Central Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Play Basketball Until January The North Central Missouri College menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team will be gunning for a thirdstraight national tournament bid in the 20202021 season. A potential trip to Danville, IL wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen until April, however. The NJCAA announced on Monday that the start of all winter sports seasons will be pushed back to January and will continue into April. That means there will be no games at the Ketcham Community Center for the North Central men or women until the calendar flips to 2021. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our greatest focus is, and always has been, providing the best opportunities for our student-athletes,â&#x20AC;? NJCAA President and CEO Dr. Christopher Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through a unified effort from our Presidential Advisory Council, the Board of Regents and leadership staff, our most recent plan of action provides a path that keeps our student-athletes competing at the highest level with proper safety measures in place. As we move forward as an association, we will continue to provide opportunities for our student-athletes, coaches and all those involved with the NJCAA to be safe and successful.â&#x20AC;? Colleges may begin official basketball practices on Jan. 11 with games allowed to start on Jan. 22. That pushes region and district competition back to an April 10 start and the national tournament will begin on April 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited that the NJCAA has set some parameters and guidelines for the COVID pandemic and we are very optimistic that we will get to have a season this year, starting in January,â&#x20AC;? North Central menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach Jeremy Esry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safety and well being of our student-athletes will be our top priority. There will be some challenges that present themselves along the way just because we are in such new and unmarked territory, however, with this much time we feel that we can devise a great game plan to help us reach our goals.â&#x20AC;?

Former Pirate Marty Jackson puts up a shot during a game last November at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton. The Pirates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start their season until late January 2021 after the NJCAA announced on Monday it was pushing the season back due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NJCAA is allowing 60 consecutive calendar days for practice and scrimmages between Sept. 15 and Dec. 15. Teams are also allowed five scrimmage dates in total for the year, with a maximum of two scrimmage dates allowed in the spring. Each scrimmage is limited to no more than two outside opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy we are going to get to have a season,â&#x20AC;? North Central womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach Jenni Croy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that they are allowing us to have five scrimmages before the season starts. My concern is the short time frame from Jan. 11 to Jan. 22 to get (players) back from Christmas (break) and back in shape but, honestly, our student-athletes at NCMC usually get a pretty long break from basketball over Christmas due to Holiday Hoops, so it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too much of a change for us. By allowing us to practice from September to December, we should be able to have worked on just about everything prior to break. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a change, but these kids are flexible and I know they will be ready to

get on the court for games come January.â&#x20AC;? North Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring sports - baseball, softball and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf - will continue to operate as normal for the championship seasons in the spring. Each of those teams are being limited to a 60-day window for their respective fall scrimmage seasons from Sept. 5-Nov. 15. The baseball team is limited to 15 scrimmages (not dates) in that window, while softball will get seven scrimmage dates and the golf teams each get 30 dates between the fall scrimmage and spring championship seasons. NCMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Dr. Lenny Klaver, helped provide guidance to the NJCAA as he serves as a member of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We agreed these measures would ensure the best possible way to proceed with sports seasons while keeping the safety of studentathletes in mind foremost,â&#x20AC;? Klaver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased with the vote of the NJCAA regents being overwhelmingly in favor of the plan.â&#x20AC;?

The North Central Missouri College softball team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to play very many games on the diamond in 2020, but the team never stopped working in the classroom. The NJCAA released its annual Academic AllAmerican teams on Monday and North Central boasted a total of 25 selections, seven who came from the softball squad. Academic All-Americans must earn a minimum 3.60 cumulative grade point average for the school year. First-team honorees - student-athletes earning a perfect 4.0 GPA - included Carson Hall, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf; Fredrik Hersley and Martin Stegberg, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf; Koby Linder, baseball; Lily Osborn and Taylor Wagner, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball; and Taylor Richman, softball. Second-team selections - student athletes with a GPA between 3.80 and 3.99 - included Jaele Barber, Jentry Copple, Salem Croy, Maycee Edgar and Sidney Lynch, softball; Colton Barnes, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf; Anna Clariday, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf; Kennedie Kieffer, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball; and Cash Miller, baseball. Third-team honorees - student-athletes with GPAs between 3.60 and 3.79 - included Jackson Boenker, Logan Eickhoff and Braxton Pennington, baseball; Josephine Deen, softball; Demarius Houston, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball; Trey Howell and Pirmin Kamm, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf; Kayla Koester, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball; and Brooke Wendler, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These individuals exemplify what college athletics is all about,â&#x20AC;? North Central sports information director Ryan Suttenfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only did they excel in their sports, but they showed that being a quality student, first and foremost, is very important.â&#x20AC;? Three Pirate teams posted team GPAs above 3.0 for the year. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf ended the year with a 3.66 team GPA, coming up one-hundredth of a point short of back-to-back academic team national championships. Softball posted a 3.35 GPA while womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball ended with a GPA of 3.05.

Hunter Education Being Offered MDC Has Two Formats To Earn Certification By the Missouri Department of Conservation With hunting seasons coming up for deer, turkey, migratory birds, waterfowl and other game, the Missouri Department of Conservation is encouraging Missouri hunters who need hunter education to get it early. Those hunting in Missouri during a firearms season or acting as an adult mentor to another hunter must have huntereducation certification, unless exempt. Exemptions include hunters age 15 years old or younger who will be hunting with an adult mentor that is 18 or older and certified in hunter education or exempt; hunters born before Jan. 1, 1967; hunters with a disability exemption from MDC; hunters age 16 years or older who have purchased an Apprentice Hunter Authorization and will be hunting with a properly permitted adult mentor who is 18 years old or older; hunters who are landowners hunting on land they own; and hunters who can prove completion of an approved hunter-education course in another state. There are two hunter ducation options, a blended format and an all-online format. The blended format has two parts. The knowledge portion provides information to participants on all aspects of hunter education and can be taken on-

line, through a free self-study guide or in a classroom setting. Participants must also complete a four-hour skills session that includes a multiple-choice final exam. The skills portion is a hands-on demonstration of skills learned by participants. Participants must complete and pass both portions to earn certification. The all-online format may be completed by Missouri residents 16 years of age and older. It consists of an online course and requires a fee paid to the online course provider. The all online option requires the passing of a final exam but has no skills portion. To help keep participants, instructors and others safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, MDC will limit inperson class sizes to small numbers of participants. Class availability will also be limited due to smaller class sizes and limited availability of venues. Social distancing will be re-

quired. Masks will not be provided. MDC will abide by applicable local health requirements and strongly encourages participants to bring and wear masks. Hand sanitizer will be available to participants. “To help keep staff, volunteers, program participants and others safe, MDC has changed the format and structure of some of our programs, including hunter education,” MDC hunter education and shooting range coordinator Justin McGuire said. “Opportunities to attend an in-person huntereducation classroom or skills session are available but limited at this time. MDC still offers ample opportunities for folks to legally hunt in Missouri through youth exemptions, our apprentice hunter authorization and online hunter education.” Additional information is available online at mdc.mo.gov/huntereducation.

OP/ED

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Planning For A Return To School Area school administrators are busy working on plans to allow students and staff to safely return to the classroom this fall amid concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. There have been lots of questions from parents, staff, students and patrons about what is going to happen this school year Earlier this week, Princeton R-5 Superintendent Jerry Girdner announced school would start there on Aug. 25, with students attending inperson classes on a five-day per Diane Lowrey week schedule. The district, Girdner said, would be working with the Mercer County Health Department to develop a plan that would include measures â&#x20AC;&#x153;for a safe re-entry for every student, teacher, parent and patron of the district.â&#x20AC;? The plan is anticipated to be finalized later this month. The Trenton R-9 School District, last week, asked parents/guardians to complete an online survey, seeking their input as district administrators develop the R-9 plan for the start of school. The school year is scheduled to start on Aug. 25 - but how classes will be conducted, safety precautions for any in-building activities and transportation are among the issues still to be worked out. Those were among the topics covered in the survey and I hope R-9 parents/guardians took the time to express their opinion (the survey was available on the school district website until this past Wednesday). In conversations with R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman, administrators will be using the survey information to help develop the district â&#x20AC;&#x153;back to schoolâ&#x20AC;? plan and create the best situation possible for students and staff to safely return to the classroom. The Grundy County Health Department will also provide input to the R-9 District regarding local, state and national health guidelines. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not naive enough to think that whatever plan school officials come up with, there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be some disagreement from parents, staff and/or patrons of the district - classroom instruction, virtual instruction or a combination; require a mask, make a mask optional; go to the cafeteria to eat, eat in the classroom - the list of decisions goes on and on and there is no clear-cut right or wrong answer. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also not naive enough to think Trenton R-9 officials wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep safety at the forefront when developing the district plan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious that school administrators want students and teachers back in the classroom, otherwise, there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be all the discussions addressing safety precautions. While R-9 students were able to finish the 2019-20 school year at home using a combination of online instruction by teachers and home instruction by parents, it was hardly the ideal educational situation and something most parents and teachers would not like to see repeated. We need to trust our school officials to develop and implement, with our input, what they determine to be the best course of action to follow, give the plan a chance and allow for modifications to fit the scenarios that may pop up once the school year gets under way. They really do have the best interest of students and staff in mind by developing a plan to provide a safe educational environment. We need to support their efforts.

What Others Are Saying... Maternal Mortality

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has released its first report on maternal mortality in the state.

Guest Editorials The report, which is viewable at health.mo.gov/data/pamr, is from the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review Board, a multidisciplinary board thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tasked with examining the causes and contributing factors associated with maternal mortality and determining interventions that could prevent such deaths from occurring in the future. The report is based on deaths that occurred in 2017, the most recent year for which data was available. Among its findings: â&#x20AC;˘ The pregnancy-related mortality ratio in Missouri was 26 deaths per 100,000 live births, of which 80% were determined to be preventable. â&#x20AC;˘ In Missouri, Black women are four times more likely to die within one year of pregnancy than white women. Black women also experience a higher rate of severe maternal morbidity (213 deaths per 10,000 live births) than white women (92 deaths per 10,000 live births). â&#x20AC;˘ In Missouri, women on Medicaid are five times more likely to die within one year of pregnancy than those with private insurance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a Missouri problem. Maternal mortality

has been tracked nationwide by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 1986. Since that tracking system was implemented, the number of reported pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. steadily increased from 7.2 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1987 to 16.9 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016, the CDC reports. Why? Reasons for the nationwide increase are â&#x20AC;&#x153;unclear,â&#x20AC;? the CDC says. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to see that Missouri has taken the first step toward understanding why some people who give birth in our state are dying. But we strongly hope it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last step. Understanding a problem is good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; solving a problem is better. It would seem that members of the review board agree: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of work ahead of us, but through addressing the issues identified by the PAMR board, the state of Missouri will be able to decrease our rate of maternal mortality while simultaneously improving those situations related to this issue,â&#x20AC;? said Ashlie Otto, the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinator, in a statement. That work, we suspect, will largely be up to our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public health officials and lawmakers. The report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the still-to-come reviews of 2018 and 2019 data â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should be the foundation for them to develop policy recommendations, help craft new laws or create educational campaigns to drive down the maternal mortality rate in Missouri, and when all the information is in, we urge our state to take action. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joplin Globe

COMMUNITY Scrappy Quilters Guild Holds Meeting July 7 The Scrappy Quilters Guild met on July 7 at the First Baptist Church with 14 members present. Prior to the meeting a video was shown on the use of Charm packs, jelly rolls and layer cakes. Donna Wilson presided over the business portion of the meeting. She announced the new stands have arrived for use at future quilt shows. Reports were given on the upcoming retreat in September. There are 13 attending. Blocks were turned in for quilts being made for charity

projects. Several quilts are ready for labels so they can be donated as the need arises. The work will be done at the upcoming Saturday Sew. The group will also work on items for the Breast Cancer Support group. All the quilt shows and events for 2020 have been canceled or rescheduled for 2021. A list of rescheduled shows was announced. It was also reported the Missouri Star Quilt Company will not be reopening their stores until March. The company continues to provide quilting services and cus-

tomers can still do business online. It was announced that fabric stores are open but on limited schedules. It was also announced that Life Options is accepting donations of quilts, blankets or any item for preemies. Participating in Show and Tell were Twyla Johnson, Delores Kuttler, Chris Newton, Charlotte Jensen and Marie Boyle. The next meeting will be held on Aug. 4, with a gathering time at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting to follow at 6:30 p.m.

The Fed reported this week that its latest survey of economic conditions around the country found improvements in consumer spending and other areas but said the gains were from very low levels seen when widespread lockdowns push the country into a deep recession. And the report said that business I, Barbara Harris Collector of Revenue within and for Grundy County, Missouri hereby give notice as provided in Chapter 140 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri for 1986, that I shall offer for sale the hereinafter described lots and lands for delinquent taxes on real estate at the front door of the courthouse on the fourth Monday, the 24thof August 2020, Grundy County Missouri, commencing at 10:00 a.m. on the said day.

July 6, but layoffs had continued as well. “Contacts in nearly every district noted difficulty in bringing back workers because of health and safety concerns, child care needs and generous unemployment insurance benefits,” the Fed said.

Special Session To Address Violence In Missouri O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Missouri lawmakers will reconvene later this month to consider ways to stem the escalating violence that has become especially deadly in St. Louis and Kansas City, Gov. Mike Parson announced Wednesday. The special session that starts July 27 will be singularly focused on violent crime. But unlike some other states that are considering police reforms in the wake of racial injustice protests, Missouri lawmakers will focus on measures that could strengthen laws and put more people behind bars. The leader of the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus said he was disappointed that police reform is not on the table. While the worst of the crime is in St. Louis and Kansas City, Parson called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missouri problem.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of this is unacceptable," Parson said. "We are better than that in

Missouri, and we must hold violent criminals accountable for their actions.â&#x20AC;? St. Louis and Kansas City both had among the highest homicide rates in the nation in 2019, and the trend is far worse in 2020. St. Louis has recorded 130 killings, including four more Tuesday night, compared to 99 at the same time in 2019, and is on pace to easily exceed the 194 homicides of last year. Mayor Lyda Krewson, a Democrat, has said the violence is â&#x20AC;&#x153;devastating our communities and our families.â&#x20AC;? Kansas City has recorded 101 killings so far in 2020, 26 more than by this time a year ago. Kansas City ended 2109 with 150 homicides. Both cities have tried various measures to stem the violence. St. Louis is using a program called Cure Violence, in which workers are trained to deescalate conflicts and to

try and convince people to turn away from violence in high-crime areas. A new Kansas City program announced by the White House last week, Operation Legend, will bring in more than 100 agents from the FBI and other agencies to battle violent crime. Many leaders in St. Louis and Kansas City have noted that the rise in violence has coincided with a 2017 law that allowed Missourians to carry guns without permits, training or background checks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really made it hard for our city and our communities because guns are our problem,â&#x20AC;? Rosilyn Temple, executive director of the anti-violence group KC Mothers in Charge, said of the law. Parson, a staunch gun rights supporter, said the special session â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not the timeâ&#x20AC;? for lawmakers to consider changing state law to allow local ju-

risdictions to enact gun laws tougher than the state's, as some urban leaders have suggested. Missouri Legislative Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Steven Roberts of St. Louis said in a statement that police reform should be part of the discussion. He said government leaders need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;examine how our legal system operates, analyze deficiencies and inequities, and establish a sustainable plan to address and correct these issues so our state fulfills the creed that all men and women are equal in the eyes of the law.â&#x20AC;? Parson's likely opponent in the November general election, Democratic State Auditor Nicole Galloway, said in a statement that it was "well past time that Governor Parson got serious about violence in Missouri. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see just how serious he is this time about the biggest issue of all: finally taking common-sense action to get weapons

off our streets.â&#x20AC;? Parson said weeks of racial injustice protests, which began after George Floyd's death in Minnesota on May 25, have taken a toll on police departments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are maxed out to the limit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been dealing with protests for months. They have been dealing with crime underneath the blanket of peaceful protests, along with the violence that goes on every day in their jobs.â&#x20AC;? House Minority Leader Crystal Quade of Springfield, a Democrat, accused Parson of â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough-on-crime rhetoric that will solve nothing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diminishing the voice of Black communities, who are disproportionately affected by both the (coronavirus) pandemic and the epidemic of gun violence, will not make Missouri safer," Quade said in a statement.

Numbers Reflect Continuing Job Cuts Retail Sales Climb; Economy Remains Sluggish WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The number of laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits remained stuck at 1.3 million last week, an historically high level that indicates many companies are still cutting jobs as the viral outbreak intensifies. The elevated level of applications for jobless aid is occurring as new confirmed cases of coronavirus are spiking across much of the Sunbelt, threatening to weaken the economic recovery. Case counts are rising in 40 states and 22 states have either paused or reversed their efforts to reopen their economies, according to Bank of America. Rising infections paralleled rising applications for aid in some states getting hit right now, and fell in states with declining infections. In Florida claims doubled to 129,000, and in Georgia they rose nearly one-third to 136,000. In California they increased 23,000 to nearly 288,000. Applications also rose in Arizona and South Carolina. Applications fell in Texas, New Jersey and New York. The Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thursday report showed that applications for jobless aid fell

by about 10,000 from the previous week. The figure has now topped 1 million for 17 straight weeks. Before the pandemic, the record high for weekly unemployment applications was nearly 700,000. Those figures are adjusted for seasonal variations, a practice that is intended to filter out trends that don't reflect on the economy, such as the firing of seasonal workers after the winter holidays. Yet the impact of the coronavirus has made such adjustments less relevant, economists say, because claims are so far above normal levels. Before seasonal adjustment, applications actually rose 100,000 to 1.5 million, a sign that layoffs are actually worsening. The total number of people who are receiving jobless benefits dropped 400,000 to 17.3 million, the government said. That suggests that some companies are continuing to rehire workers, which could offset some of the job losses reflected in the still-high level of claims. An additional 928,000 people sought benefits last week under a separate program for self-employed and gig workers

that has made them eligible for aid for the first time. These figures arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adjusted for seasonal variations, so the government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include them in the official count. The resurgence of the virus and new business shutdowns in states such as Florida and California, along with signs that consumers are pulling back from eating out and other activities, has intensified fears that the economic recovery is losing steam. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment report for June showed a solid gain of 4.8 million jobs and an unemployment rate that fell to 11.1% from 13.3%. But economists increasingly doubt that such a pace can be sustained. The number of employees working at small businesses declined last week, particularly in states with worsening viral outbreaks, according to data from Homebase, a company that makes scheduling and work-tracking software.

BALTIMORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. retail sales climbed a solid 7.5% in June, a sign that the economy was healing right before infections from the coronavirus spiked again and dragged down hopes for a steady recovery. The Census Bureau reported Thursday that retail sales are 1.1% higher than their levels from a year ago, after a brutal plunge in March and April was offset by a decent rebound in May and June. But any gains might be shortlived as infections began to rise toward the end of June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report gives the illusion of a fearless consumer spending lavishly, the reality is more sobering: consumers are increasingly fearful amid new spikes in COVID-19 cases and a looming fiscal cliff,â&#x20AC;? said Lydia Boussour, senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. The report shows how shoppers and businesses are adjusting to life in a pandemic, changing their habits in hopes of halting an illness that can quickly flare-up and wreak financial havoc. Bars in Texas shuttered again at the end of last month as infections surged in that state. Pennsylvania this week ordered that restaurants can only seat 25% of their potential customers. Gap, Kohlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other stores are

withdrawing clothes worn in their changing rooms from sales floors for several days as a precautionary move. Adding to all this pressure are signs that the recovery in consumer spending began to stall at the end of last month, according to analysis of credit cards by the bank JPMorgan Chase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suspect the modest pullback we have seen in our card spending data since late June is driven by concern about the resurgence of COVID-19,â&#x20AC;? said Jesse Edgerton,. June's retail numbers showed the complicated nature of an uncertain recovery. Non-store salesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which includes online shoppingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;slumped 2.4% over the past month but are 23.5% higher from a year ago. Spending at restaurants and bars jumped 20% last month, but it's still down 26.3% from last year. Sales at clothiers more than doubled between May and June, yet they've collapsed 23.2% from a year ago. Shoppers have responded by shifting their spending, and not only to online retailers. Sales at building materials stores were up 17.3% annually. Stores in the sporting goods, musical instrument, books and hobbies categories have enjoyed yearly growth of 20.6%. Purchases at grocers have increased 11.7% over the past year.

Extension News by Shawn Deering Livestock Specialist BEEF CATTLE MINERAL REQUIREMENTS We all know what opinions are like. Ask a set of cow-calf producers, feed sales representatives, university specialists, and veterinarians what is the best mineral mix to use, and you are likely to get many different answers. However, we do know and agree that research has proven beef cattle do have set requirements for mineral nutrition. Minerals are divided into two categories, macro minerals and trace or micro minerals. The macro minerals, as the name implies, are those required in relatively large amounts (grams per day) and include calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulfur and magnesium. The trace minerals are required in very small amounts in the diet, and are usually expressed in terms of parts per million. The minerals most likely to be deficient in beef cattle diets are sodium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium and they are discussed in more detail below. The salt requirements for cattle are actually quite low (0.2% of the dry matter intake), however, there appears to be a societal factor involved - almost all animals appear to "go looking" for salt if it is not readily available. Cattle on pasture may consume 2 to 2.5 pounds of salt per head per month when forage is succulent but only half that amount when forage is mature. When added to a free-choice protein feed to try to limit intake, beef cows might consume less than 1 pound of salt/hd/day over long periods without adverse effects if they have plenty of drinking water. Signs of a salt deficiency are hard to specify but may include reduced feed intake, growth and milk production. Calcium is an important mineral for beef cattle, both in terms of the relative requirement and the diversity of functions in the body. It is a major component of the bones, which also serve as a storage site for calcium. It is also involved in blood clotting, muscle contractions and nerve impulses. Fortunately, calcium is usually available in adequate amounts in most forages. The most frequently observed cases of calcium deficiency occur in cattle fed high concentrate rations,

since grains tend to be low in calcium, and in cows grazing small grain forages. While forages tend to be high in calcium and low in phosphorous, the opposite is true of grains such as corn, milo, barley, oats and wheat. Young cattle are the most common victims of calcium deficient rations. Affected animals will show joint swelling and x-ray examination will show great mineral loss from the bones. The calcium to phosphorous ratio on such feeding programs can be as low as 1:10 when it should be 2:1. Calcium is the cheapest mineral to add and a general rule of thumb is that 1% added limestone would balance the calcium requirement in most grain-based diets. The other calcium deficiency sometimes observed occurs when pregnant and lactating cows graze small grain pastures. Small grain forages (wheat, rye, oats, etc.) are very high in phosphorous during the winter when the plants are immature. When cows in late pregnancy and early lactation graze immature small grain pastures, grass tetany may be an issue. Initially, the problem was thought to solely be the result of magnesium deficiency. However, studies have shown that tetany may result from calcium deficiency as well. Symptoms of tetany from deficiencies of both minerals are indistinguishable without blood tests. Treatment consists of intravenous injections of calcium and magnesium gluconate, which supplies both minerals. Therefore, cows grazing lush small grain pastures should be fed mineral mixes that contain both calcium and magnesium. Rumen bacteria require phosphorous for optimal function and the body requires it for a multitude of functions including acidbase balance, bone formation and energy metabolism. Phosphorous has been described as the most prevalent mineral deficiency of grazing cattle worldwide. Phosphorous may be deficient in ordinary beef cattle rations because roughages are often low in phosphorous. Furthermore, as plants mature, their phosphorous content declines, making mature and weathered forages a poor source. In a

phosphorous deficiency, reduced growth and feed efficiency, decreased appetite, impaired reproduction, decreased milk production and weak, fragile bones can be expected. There are many good sources of supplemental phosphorous and they include steamed bone meal, mono and di-calcium phosphate, de-fluorinated rock phosphate and phosphoric acid. Because most grains contain high levels of phosphorous, deficiencies are rarely a problem in feedlot cattle. Magnesium maintains electrical potentials across nerve endings and is closely related to calcium and phosphorous in function and distribution in the body. In a deficiency, lack of muscle control is obvious. Usually a magnesium deficiency is seen in the spring in mature grazing cattle and it is called grass tetany. The initial signs of grass tetany are nervousness, decreased feed intake, and muscular twitching about the face and ears. Cows become uncoordinated and walk with a stiff gait. In the advanced stages, affected cows fall to the ground, convulse and die shortly after. This condition is usually prevented by supplementing cows grazing lush spring grass with magnesium oxide at 1 to 2 unces/hd/day or by providing a commercially manufactured high magnesium mineral. Beef cows generally do not like the taste of magnesium oxide so diluting it with ground corn or soybean meal will improve consumption. A large number of minerals are important for the well-being of grazing cattle, but fortunately, the requirements for many of these are met entirely by forages or by combining them with the normal grain and protein supplements that are routinely fed. Requirements for minerals are dependent on forage mineral content, animal age, and stage of production. Mineral needs also tend to be area specific and change with soil type, fertilization rates, rainfall, and other factors. Missouri cattlemen are lucky in that we do not have the serious problems with toxicities or deficiencies that other states suffer. A critical concern when discussing mineral nutrition is overfeeding. Virtually anything fed can become toxic at some level, but the difference between required levels and toxic levels for some minerals are very small. This poses serious problems when formulating "home-made" supplemental mineral mixes as most cattlemen do not possess the equipment to properly measure and mix such small amounts.

Too Little Water, Too Much Heat Puts Tassling Corn At Risk

Moderate drought for as little as five consecutive days can cause major damage in corn, according to University of Missouri Extension agronomist Bill Wiebold. Unusually dry conditions, largely concentrated in southwestern Missouri and small pockets elsewhere in the state, come at a bad time for tasseling corn. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a drought early warning on July 7 for Missouri River Basin and much of the Midwest. Spotty rainfall and extreme heat is expected to exacerbate the situation. Wiebold said that one of the big hazards to the crops is the hot nights. High nighttime temperatures increase respiration, which burns up sugars that corn plants make during the day. Corn shows signs of stress when leaves roll as a defense mechanism as the plant tries to take up water and nutrients. Stressed plants are also more vulnerable to disease and insect damage. According to Wieboldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research, the biggest risk for yield loss happens during the R1 silking growth stage. USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July 6 Crop Progress Report shows 21% of Missouri corn is in silking stage. Drought can have two major effects on yield at this stage. First, drought slows the growth of silks as they lengthen under the husks. Silks may emerge from the end of the husks after the pollen sheds from the tassel. Although pollen sheds from tassels for three to seven days during R1, silks may miss some or all of the pollen. Each potential kernel (ovule) has a silk attached

Sunn Hemp Can Benefit Rotational Grazing Systems Sunn hempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vigorous growth makes it a great complement to cool-season forages, says Harley Naumann, University of Missouri forage physiologist. Naumannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-year research shows that the quickgrowing summer annual provides a boost during summer slump in rotational grazing systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most pastures in Missouri are comprised primarily of endophyte tall fescue that are not productive during the hot summer months,â&#x20AC;? says Valerie Tate, MU Extension field specialist in agronomy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunn hemp is an excellent addition to a rotational grazing system.â&#x20AC;?

to it. When a pollen grain falls on a silk, it germinates, produces a pollen tube that grows the length of the silk and fertilizes the ovule. The second effect is drying of the silk while the pollen tube grows through it. This can cause the silk to deteriorate and block the pollen tube. With either effect, the result is much smaller ears with fewer kernels. In R2-R3, when initial kernel filling occurs, drought-stressed plants may abort kernels and produce smaller ears. In R4-R6, corn produces smaller kernels, lower ear weight and reduced test weight. Corn in V14-VT also faces medium to major damage. High temperatures increase water evaporation, which aggravates drought stress. Leaf temperature may be high enough to damage enzymes needed for photosynthesis. Late-planted or replanted crops in the claypan soils of northeastern Missouri face special drought risk. Planting during wet conditions in dense claypan soils that hold water causes compaction, resulting in poor root development.

Originally grown as a fiber crop, sunn hemp draws its name from its bright yellow flowers. The legume grows as much as an inch per day in an upright growth habit. It reaches heights of up to 9 feet. This tropical flowering plant thrives in warm weather. Its seeds do not germinate until soil temperatures reach 70 degrees, and this short-day plant dies at the first frost. Sunn hemp provides a lot of bang for the buck, with high nutritional value and additional carrying capacity in pounds of live animals per acre. It offers 20 to 25 percent crude protein and is 90 percent digestible. It increased cattle gain per acre by 17 percent, according to Naumannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research. Sunn hemp also produces and fixes significant amounts of nitrogen. According to

USDA, it can produce more than 5,000 pounds of biomass and up to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Grazing cattle recycle this nitrogen through their feces and urine. Unlike some other popular legumes, sunn hemp does not cause bloat in cattle. It tolerates dry conditions and low-fertility soils. Sunn hemp is a member of the genus Crotalaria. Its seeds are high in toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause damage to some animals, especially pigs. Naumann recommends diluting the alkaloids by mixing other forages. For more information, see the USDA/NRCS guide to sunn hemp at plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf /pg_crju.pdf or visit the NRCS+MU Grasslands Project website at extension2.missouri.edu/programs/nrcs-mu-g rasslands-project.

Treat it not like a confrontation but like the simple request that it is. Dear Annie: I am writing with the hope that you and I can perform an important public service. I see many people walking on the street in front of my house, and I am seriously concerned. When I was little, my parents explained to me that I should always walk on the left side of the street.

You are our guests, and we want to enjoy our property with you, but for us to want to invite you back, please don't come empty-handed. And would it be too much to bring a hostess gift? Why not ask me what kind of beverage I like and bring that for me and my wife? We as owners are already paying for the property, utilities, upkeep, insurance and more.

nificant risk. The reason for walking on the left side of the street is that one wants to be facing the cars that are driving on his or her side of the street. Under this plan, you can move off of the street if the car seems to be too close to where you are walking. With more people talking on the phone or texting while driving, this is even more of a problem these days. If you are walking on the right side of the street, you will never know what is about to injure or even kill you (and possibly also your child or dog). -- Marshall Sellers Dear Marshall: I received several letters this week on this topic. I have a feeling part of the problem lately might be that walkers and joggers often need to veer off into streets to go around another person on the sidewalk. Since they started off walking on the sidewalk, they weren't considering the direction of traffic. Your letter makes a great case for why we should walk against the direction of traffic even when we're walking on the sidewalk, just in case we need to do the social-distance shuffle into the street.

Wealth and health

The world’s wealthy got richer last year, but their net worth was battered by the COVID-19 crisis in early 2020, according to a new report on the globe’s moneyed elites. The number of so-called high net worth individuals – defined as someone with investable assets of $1 million or more – rose to 19.6 million in 2019, consultancy Capgemini said in its latest World Wealth Report released this month. The consultancy estimated their combined wealth totalled $74 trillion. But then the coronavirus pandemic erupted,

sending financial markets into turmoil with near-daily dramatic developments. COVID-19’s impact wiped out more than $18 trillion from global markets in February and March before recovering slightly in April, the report said. “Based on our analysis of various market and economic parameters, a quick estimate shows a decline of 6 - 8% in the global wealth till the end of April 2020” from the end of 2019, it said. However, while the economy shrinks and the future for investors remains uncharted, financial markets could yet prove resilient, Capgemini said.
