CWD Regulations In Effect For 2020 MDC Reminding Hunters And Others Entering Upcoming Season
By The Missouri Department Of Conservation The Missouri Department of Conservation reminds hunters, meat processors, taxidermists and others of new regulations now in effect regarding transporting deer, elk, and other cervid carcasses into Missouri and within the state and of new regulations on cervid-carcassdisposal requirements for meat processors and taxidermists. The new regulations of the Wildlife Code of Missouri are part of MDC’s ongoing efforts to slow the spread of the deadly disease called Chronic Wasting Disease, which affects deer, elk, and other members of the deer family, called cervids. “Many states with CWD have implemented similar restrictions on carcass movement,� MDC wildlife health program supervisor Jasmine Batten said. “The detection of CWD in several new areas of the state over the past few years is very concerning and these regulation changes aim to further slow its spread. The vast majority of deer in Missouri are CWD-free today and we want to keep it that way.� Regulation changes for hunters who harvest deer in Missouri from a CWD Man-
agement Zone county are: - Deer harvested in CWD Management Zone counties must be telechecked before any parts of the carcass may be transported out of the county of harvest. - Whole carcasses and heads of deer harvested in CWD Management Zone counties may only be transported out of the county of harvest if the carcass is delivered to a licensed meat processor and/or taxidermist within 48 hours of exiting the county of harvest. - The following carcass parts may be moved outside of the county of harvest without restriction: meat that is cut and wrapped or that has been boned out; quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached; hides from which all excess tissue has been removed; antlers or antlers attached to skull plates or skulls cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue; upper canine teeth; and finished taxidermy products. Regulation changes for hunters bringing deer and other cervids into Missouri from another state are: - Hunters may no longer transport whole cervid carcasses into the state. - Heads from cervids with the cape attached and no more than six inches of neck in place may be brought into Missouri only if they are delivered to a taxidermist within 48 hours of entering Missouri. - There is no longer a requirement that cervid carcass parts coming into the state be reported to the MDC carcass transport hotline.
- The following cervid parts can be transported into Missouri without restriction: meat that is cut and wrapped or that has been boned out; quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached; hides from which all excess tissue has been removed; antlers or antlers attached to skull plates or skulls cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue; upper canine teeth; and finished taxidermy products. Regulation changes for taxidermists and meat processors are: - Taxidermists and meat processors throughout the state are required to dispose of deer, elk, and other cervid parts not returned to customers in a sanitary landfill or transfer station permitted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. - Proof of disposal must be retained for 12 months for meat processors and for three years for taxidermists. According to MDC, most deer hunters should not be affected by the new regulations and most meat processors and taxidermists are already properly disposing of deer carcasses. “Our deer-hunter surveys show that at least 85 percent of deer hunters are not likely to be affected by the new regulations because they already dispose of carcasses on the property where the deer was harvested, on a property in the same county or already take their harvested deer to licensed meat processors and taxidermists,� Batten explained. MDC will again offer
statewide voluntary CWD sampling and testing of harvested deer during the entire deer season at select locations throughout the state. MDC will also conduct mandatory CWD sampling for hunters who harvest deer in counties of the CWD Management Zone Nov. 14 and 15. Any changes to mandatory sampling requirements due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will be posted at mdc.mo.gov/cwd and be available from tegional offices. Get more information on the regulation changes and other CWD information for fall deer hunting – including a map of the CWD Management Zone - from MDC’s 2020 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations & Information booklet, available where permits are sold and online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/falldeer-and-turkey-hunting-regu lations-and-information. CWD is a deadly disease in white-tailed deer and other members of the deer family, called cervids. The disease has no vaccine or cure and eventually kills all cervids it infects. The infectious prions that cause CWD are most concentrated in the spines and heads of cervids. Moving potentially infected cervid carcasses out of the immediate areas where they were harvested and improperly disposing of them can spread the disease. MDC has established a CWD Management Zone consisting of counties in or near where CWD has been found. For more information on CWD, visit MDC online at mdc.mo.gov/cwd.

Official: Get Missouri Mail-In Votes In Week Before Election JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A U.S. Postal Service official is warning that Missourians who are using mail-in voting this year should return their ballots at least a week before the Nov. 3 general election to ensure their votes will be counted. Thomas Marshall, general counsel and executive vice president of the Postal Service, told Missouri’s Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft in a letter July 31 that the service might not be able to get all ballots to election officials in time if they are mailed too close to Election Day. Missouri law requires all mail-in ballots to arrive by 7 p.m. on Election Day for them to be counted. Election officials are expecting a sharp increase in mail-in ballots for the general election because of coronavirus concerns and the Legislature's decision to expand mail-in voting options this year. �We recommend that voters who choose to mail their ballots do so no later than Tuesday, October 27,� Marshall said in the letter. Missouri voters have until Oct. 21 to request an absentee ballot for the November general election, and local election officials face a three-businessday deadline to mail blank ballots to voters. Marshall said that means there’s a “significant risk� that some absentee voters won’t be able to mail their completed ballots in time to make the deadline. Marshall sent similar letters to officials in most other states. The revelation that many
voters could be disenfranchised if they try to vote by mail follows comments by President Donald Trump aimed at sowing doubts about the election. Though Trump casts his own ballot by mail, he has railed against efforts to allow others to do so, arguing without evidence that it will lead to more voter fraud. Columbia Democratic state Rep. Kip Kendrick on Friday sent a letter to Republican Gov. Mike Parson asking that he task lawmakers with addressing the issue during their ongoing special session. “This move would go a long way to ensure that all Missouri voters, regardless of political affiliation, will have their vote counted this November,� Kendrick wrote. “It is unacceptable that election integrity is in doubt at the moment, and it is even more unacceptable for our state to not take proactive measures to protect the vote.� A spokeswoman for Parson did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment Friday. Ashcroft said slow mail delivery is a “non-issue� in the state’s elections. In a statement, he said voters can email a photo of their absentee ballot application directly to their local election official to save time. And he said voters can drop off their absentee ballots in person before Election Day. “This is a non-issue in Missouri,� Ashcroft said. “You can vote safely in person on Election Day, and we have already proven that three times in 2020 during the COVID pandemic.�

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 DON’T FORGET TO FILL OUT YOUR CENSUS FORM
Preliminary numbers are in for the U.S. Census and they don’t look good. We’re losing to St. Louis County. Only about 66 percent of North Missourians have completed the decennial Census, but more than 80 percent of folks in Missouri’s Second Congressional district have already filled it
out. However, we’ve still got an opportunity to make up some ground. The census is only collected every 10 years, but it’s incredibly important. It’s so important that the Founding Fathers mandated it in the Constitution, and it’s been done every 10 years since 1790, in times of
war and peace. The results of the 2020 census will have major impacts on all our lives for years to come. It’s how the federal government determines each state’s population, and it plays a big role in how and where our tax dollars get spent. From rural hospital funding to grants that will fix our roads and bridges, accurate census data helps communities not only determine the need for them, but also access funding to help pay for those projects. That’s why it’s so critical that we do our level best to make sure we all complete the 2020 Census. It’s only a few questions and it usually takes folks less than 10 minutes to fill it
out. If you lost the questionnaire they sent in the mail or just find it easier to do on your computer, you can fill out the 2020 Census online at: https://my2020census.gov/. Perhaps most importantly, filling out the census online or by mail could save you a visit from a census taker later this year. The 2020 Census is important as it will have major impacts on our lives for years to come. You can complete it in just a few minutes, so if you haven’t already, get it done. If you’ve already done your part, remind your friends, neighbors, and family to do their part to help north Missouri and our country.
Politics Slows Flow Of US Virus Funds To Local Public Health By The Associated Press As the novel coronavirus began to spread through Minneapolis this spring, Health Commissioner Gretchen Musicant tore up her budget to find money to combat the crisis. Money for test kits. Money for contact tracers. Money for a service to help communicate with residents in dozens of languages. While Musicant diverted workers from violence prevention and other core programs, state officials debated how to distribute $1.87 billion Minnesota received in federal aid. As she waited, the Minnesota Zoo got $6 million in federal money to continue operations, and a debt collection company outside Minneapolis received at least $5 million from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, according to federal data. It was not until Aug. 5 — months after Congress approved coronavirus aid — that Musicant’s department finally received $1.7 million, the equivalent of $4 per Minneapolis resident. Since the pandemic began, Congress has set aside trillions to ease the crisis. A joint Kaiser Health News and Associated Press investigation finds that many communities with big outbreaks have spent little of that federal money on local public health departments for work such as testing and con-
tact tracing. Others, like Minnesota, were slow to do so. For example, the states, territories and 154 large cities and counties that received allotments from the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund reported spending only 25% of it through June 30, according to reports that recipients submitted to the U.S. Treasury Department. Many localities have deployed more money since that June 30 reporting deadline, and both Republican and Democratic governors say they need more to avoid layoffs and cuts to vital state services. Still, as cases in the U.S. top 5.4 million and confirmed deaths soar past 170,000, Republicans in Congress are pointing to the slow spending to argue against sending more money to state and local governments to help with their pandemic response. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that congressional Democrats’ efforts to get more money for states, “aren’t based on math. They aren’t based on the pandemic.� Negotiations on a new relief bill broke down last week, in part because Democrats and Republicans couldn’t agree on funding for state and local governments. KHN and the AP requested detailed spending breakdowns from recipients of money from
the Coronavirus Relief Fund — created in March as part of the $1.9 trillion CARES Act — and received responses from 23 states and 62 cities and counties. Those entities dedicated 23% of their spending from the fund through June to public health and 7% to public health and safety payroll. An additional 22% was transferred to local governments, some of which will eventually pass it down to health departments. The slow aid is due to many reasons, including bureaucracy, politics and understaffing that makes it difficult for departments to navigate the system. “It does not make sense to me how anyone thinks this is a way to do business,� said E. Oscar Alleyne, chief of programs and services at the National Association of County and City Health Officials. Congress mandated that the Coronavirus Relief Fund be distributed to state and local governments based on population. Minneapolis, with 430,000 residents, missed the threshold of 500,000 people that would have allowed it to receive money directly. The state of Minnesota received $1.87 billion, a portion of which was meant to be sent to local communities. Lawmakers initially sent some state money to tide communities

over until the federal money came through. The Minneapolis health department got about $430,000 in state money. When it came time to decide how to use the CARES Act money, however, Minnesota lawmakers were at loggerheads. Then Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, and the city erupted in protests over racial injustice, making the situation even more challenging. Finally, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz decided to divvy up the money using a populationbased formula developed earlier by Republican and Democratic legislative leaders that did not take into account COVID-19 caseloads or racial disparities. The state then sent hundreds of millions of dollars to local communities. Still, even after the money got to Minneapolis a month ago, Musicant waited as city leaders decided how to spend it. A coalition including the National Governors Association has blamed delays in spending on the federal government, saying final guidance on how states could spend the money came late in June. The coalition said state and local governments had moved “expeditiously and responsibly� to use the money. Some cities received large federal grants, including Louisville, Kentucky, whose health department was given $42 million by April, more than doubling its budget. But as of mid-July in Missouri, at least 50 local health departments had yet to receive any of the federal money they requested, a state survey found. The money must first flow through local county commissioners, some of whom aren’t keen on sending money to public health agencies that closed businesses down.

dessert. Any thoughts on how to handle this for next year? I'm tempted to drop out or even say I'll only attend if we ditch the check splitting. -- Split the Bill Dear Split the Bill: I would bite your tongue and not say anything. It is a yearly occurrence, around the holidays, with friends you've known for at least the last 40 years. Much like giving birthday and Christmas presents, look at this dinner as a kind gesture from you to your friends because you enjoy their company. As finances are not your concern, weigh the pros and cons for yourself. Is saving $40 worth losing the memories you'd gain from attending the meal? Let this one go and focus your attention on the joy of being with your friends who you have known for so long. What a gift. However, if this advice drives you nuts, you could always ask for a separate check. But don't be surprised if your friends start calling you Scrooge. Dear Annie: I was sad to read the letter from the woman in the long-distance relationship whose boyfriend of 14 years failed to remain in contact with

Some of Wall Street’s biggest companies are hoping to make their pricey stocks more affordable. Apple and Tesla will split their stocks at the end of this month. Apple will be doing a four-for-one split, while Tesla plans a five-for-one split. In a stock split, the company divides its existing stock into multiple shares, thereby lowering the per share price, but not the value of the company. With the current price of each Apple share running at around $459 and Tesla’s at upward of $1,600, the move should make their shares more attractive to a broader array of investors.
Since 1990, S&P 500 companies have announced about 1,800 stock splits. Over the following year, each stock outperformed the S&P 500 an average of 15%, according to a recent research note from Lindsey Bell, chief investment strategist at Ally Invest. Even so, stock splits have become increasingly rare. One reason is the rise of Exchange Traded Funds and other ways to buy stocks. “Basically, there are more choices an investor has besides buying a single stock these days,” Bell wrote.

Dear Annie: We're a group of about 10 over-60 high school friends who get together for brunch or dinner annually around Christmastime. "Ronnie" will always make the reservations, send out the details and grab the check. She'll simply divide for the number and ask everyone for that amount. This most recent dinner, there were nine of us. The bill, before tip, came to $360. Many in the group had a drink, some ordered a second one, including topshelf brands. Most had dessert. I don't drink much, and I'm not into dessert. I ordered an entree that cost $17. We were each asked to pay $55. Needless to say, when the check is split, those who spend the least get taken advantage of the most. This time, I did express my displeasure to Ronnie, but she quickly shot me down. Nobody else said anything. Look, if it's only a few dollars, I'm OK with easier math for everyone, but not when my share gets more than doubled. Mind you, I'm doing fine financially, so that's not the issue. I would never ask someone to pay more to subsidize my drinks and

her. I feel lucky to say that this pandemic has made my longdistance relationship of four years -- between Indiana and Florida -- even better. Before, I would spend one week a month down there. But I don't want to travel yet -- especially to high-risk areas. We may not see each other physically, but we have worked to maintain communication. We actually talk more now. I'm not running around like crazy, so I have time to carry on a decent conversation. We met halfway over the July 4 holiday and both agreed that visit was better than my monthly trips. We were able to spend quality time together because he wasn't working. I'm hopeful that things will go back to "normal," but until then, we are making the best of the situation. It really depends on what you're willing to put into a relationship. -- Stronger in a Pandemic Dear Stronger in a Pandemic: Your letter brings up a good point. If you want to make something work, then you make something work. If you don't, then you can always find excuses as to why it can't. While the distance is certainly challenging to you and your boyfriend, you have been committed to making it work and, like anything in life, we get what we put in.

AREA Rotary Holds ‘Club Chat’
Tax
The Trenton Rotary Club met on Thursday, Aug. 13 at the Rotary shelterhouse in Moberly Park. Kim Washburn presided over the business meeting and led the pledge to the U.S. flag. Chris Hoffman served as sergeant at arms. Members discussed several items as the club begins holding its regular monthly meetings and planning for the new year. Dues were discussed and an update was given on the Missouri Day Parade, which the club sponsors. The club has set Sept. 10 as the deadline to decide whether or not to have a parade this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Available members were asked to help with the Rotary storage project at Rissler Elementary School on Friday, Aug. 14. The project is being funded with a district Rotary grant the club received and includes shelving to be used for storage of Bright Futures items as well as construction of a new shower and washer/dryer area. Plans are being made for the annual fish fry, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Rock Barn area. This year’s event will be a drivethrough, although some seating will be available with social distancing to be observed. There will be no entertainment or silent auction as in the past. Funds raised from the event are donated by the club to the Rotary International Peace program. The next meeting will be held at noon on Thursday, Aug. 20 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall. Members are reminded to RSVP their attendance by noon on Tuesday, Aug. 18 to Diane Lowrey or Mrs. Washburn so that boxed lunches can be ordered.

Dinner, Book Sale Postponed
Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Friends of the Library and Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library have announced postponement of the 2020 Friends of the Library dinner and annual book sale. The Friends of the Library will meet in February to determine if and when the dinner and book sale might be held.
Shelter Is Lions Club Program The Trenton Lions Club met on Tuesday, Aug. 11 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall. President George Moore led the pledge to the U.S. flag followed by prayer by Jim Cox. Rex Ross served as “tail twister.” Program chairman Lannie Harkins introduced Jeri Webb representing the Green Hills Animal Shelter, who told a history of the shelter that was formed in 1999 with a 12member board of directors. Non-profit status was approved in 2000. After operating initially in the former Maggie’s Mess building, the
shelter moved into its current location in 2007. Orscheln’s Farm and Home donated the building to the shelter, allowing the board to use its building fund to renovate that structure to accommodate the needs of the animals that it shelters. Donations of items, building materials and labor, and community support led to the creation of the current “promise shelter.” Animals are cared for in this shelter with the hope of placing animals in “forever homes.” The next meeting of theLions Club will be held on Aug. 18 with George Moore as the program chairman.
