My name is Alexis Russell and I am the intern at the Republican-Times for the summer. I am from Des Moines, IA and I am currently going to college at Iowa State University in Ames. After I graduate in May 2022, I am hoping to get a job in sports photography or sports reporting. Currently I work for Iowa State’s paper, The Daily as a photojournalist taking photos of sports and other school events. During the course of this internship I hope to Alexis Russell learn how the newsroom works as well as what a typical day looks like reporting and working for a newspaper. I am excited for this experience and all the things I am going to learn!
WMH Relaxes Restrictions
Wright Memorial Hospital and Hedrick Medical Center have revised their visitor guidelines to allow level 3 visitation, as of May 17. Wright Memorial and Hedrick were previously at a ‘Level 4’, which allowed patients only one visitor per day. Level 3 visitor guidelines allow two visitors per patient per day in inpatient areas and the emergency department. There is no visitor re-entry and no visitors under the age of 14 are permitted. Masks are always required to be worn by the visitors, even in the patient rooms. All ambulatory and outpatient clinics are still limiting patients to one visitor per appointment and no visitors under the age of 14. Although new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say fully vaccinated individuals no longer have to wear masks outdoors or indoors in many settings, the CDC emphasizes that this guidance does not apply in health care facilities. Per CDC guidance, masks will continue to be required for all patients and visitors to enter any Saint Luke’s facility until further notice, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. Patients and visitors will be also continue to screened upon arrival.

R-6 Board Sharp Named Executive Director He Takes Over Post Accepts At NCMDA, Starts Bids Job On June 14 Superintendent Set To Get Salary Bump
The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education met Tuesday, accepting several bids, approving the employment of an after school program director and approving a salary increase for the superintendent. According to information provided by Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the board accepted a bid from People’s Co-Op for diesel fuel, with the bid coming in at 5 cents below the pump price. Prairie Farms was awarded the milk bid, with delivery set for Mondays and Wednesdays and the price [See R-6, Page 3]
One of the issues facing small towns and rural areas is that young people often flee to larger areas whether by choice or necessity. Scott Sharp chose to return to Trenton and has now taken on the challenge of bringing development to north Missouri. Sharp has been named the executive director of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance, a 501 (c) 3 organization that works with public and private groups to bring economic and community development to Grundy County. He fills a position left vacant by the resignation of Micah Landes, who was the first director of the group. Sharp, a 2003 graduate of
pretty good here,” he said, noting that Trish has an art degree that could have made it difficult to have a career in a small community. He sees a parallel between what he’s been doing since his early 20s and the task of serving area businesses and the community. “I’ve been selling pop since I was 21,” said Sharp, who worked at Trenton Coca-Cola before taking a position at Pepsi in Chillicothe several years ago. Scott Sharp “I’ve been in small businesses in Trenton High School, said he three different counties every and his wife, Trish, a 2002 THS single day.

The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors met Tuesday, hearing an update on activities at Sunnyview Nursing Home and on the CDC guidelines for COVID-19. Administrator Jerry Doerhoff said in the past month, residents enjoyed several activities, including an Easter party, birthday party, porch time and the resident’s council meeting. He said CDC guidelines have been updated to allow residents who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 to sit together at mealtimes and at group activities. There were no positive cases of the virus among staff or residents in April. In other business, the board accepted a bid from Landes Oil for propane and from WCA for trash pickup. It was noted that a contractor will start on the energy project in the next few weeks as soon as supplies are delivered. It was also announced that staff are being trained on the new software program for the facility. A closed session was held and the minutes of the April closed session were approved. The next regular meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 15.
COVID Numbers Inch Up
New cases of COVID-19 were reported each day this week in Grundy County as residents are becoming more active and mask guidelines are being relaxed. Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson said the county has added 10 cases in the past seven days, with no particular age group or demographic being identified. Ms. Gibson said that although vaccine is readily available, county residents have been slow to get vaccinated, with only 25 percent of county residents having initiated the vaccination process and 22 percent having completed the vaccines. Statewide, 33 percent of Missouri residents are vaccinated and 38 percent of all U.S. residents have been vaccinated. While Mrs. Gibson said she understands the initial apprehension to receive a vaccine, millions of doses have been given with very few problems. She noted that all three vaccines - Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson - are available at various locations in the county, so residents do have a choice of vaccines. She said prevention is still the key to stopping the virus. “It’s still here,” she said. “And if we’re not preventing it, we are allowing it to circulate.”

SPORTS SPORTS BRIEFS Gibler, Otto Earn All-GRC East Baseball Honors Trenton High School baseball players Tucker Otto and Brice Gibler were named to the All-Grand River Conference East Division team this week. Both Otto and Gibler were second team selections. Putnam County, which won the East Division before falling to Pattonsburg in the GRC championship game, led the way with four first-team selections and six picks overall. Maysville also received six picks, though four of those were honorable mention selections. The Wolverines had just one first team honoree. Princeton, which finished second in the GRC East with a 3-2 mark, landed Zeb Swartzkopf and Owen Schreffler on the first team with Swartzkopf getting the nod unanimously. Landon Krohn and Kelby Thomas earned second-team honors to round out the Tigers’ four selections. Trenton finished the season with a 2-13 overall record, finishing 0-5 in GRC East play.
NCMC Baseball Season Closes At District Tourney The North Central Missouri College baseball team saw its season come to a close on Monday as the Pirates fell 7-5 to Northern Oklahoma Tonkawa at the Plains District Tournament in Enid, OK.

Despite the 0-2 showing at districts, North Central closed the season with a 26-20 overall mark. That record marks the first time in over 15 years that the Pirates finished the season above .500.

Bulldogs Reach End Of The Line Unbeaten Savannah Too Much For THS SAVANNAH 5 TRENTON 0
The most successful season of the 2020-2021 school year at Trenton High School came to an end on Monday. The Trenton Bulldog boys tennis team — the lone athletic team at the school to win a district title this year — bowed out of the state playoffs at the sectional level, falling to Savannah at the Plaza Tennis Courts in Kansas City by a 5-0
Former Quarterback Returns To Football As A Tight End
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer are together again, this time in the NFL and with Tebow playing a new position. The former Florida star and 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback signed a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday and will attempt to revive his pro career as a tight end. The move also reunites two of college football’s most polarizing figures over the past 15 years. The 33-year-old Tebow is returning to the NFL after five years (2016-20) in the New York Mets’ organization and he’ll be playing for Meyer for the first time since his senior year in 2009. “I know it will be a challenge, but it is a challenge I embrace," Tebow said in a statement released by the team. "I am dedicated to taking the direction of our coaching staff and learning from my teammates. I appreciate everyone’s support as I embark on this new journey.” He will be on the field with his new team Thursday for a voluntary, closed workout. Tebow is not expected to have any media availability until training camp, at the earliest, in hopes of minimizing the media circus that follows the devout Christian who has received rock star treatment at every NFL stop. His comeback is an unprecedented one because of his age, his new position and the fact that he last played in a regular-season game in 2012, with the New York Jets. Several teams suggested Tebow make the position change years ago, but he declined. He finally switched after retiring from baseball in February. He worked out for the Jaguars the following week, the first

victory. Jonin Villacampa picked up a 6-2 win in the first set of his singles match, but dropped the second 6-3 and the third 7-5. That gave Savannah the decisive fifth win and all other matches were halted in progress. Despite the loss, Trenton closed its season with a 13-4 overall record. Only Savannah and Maryville defeated Trenton this season, each doing so twice to account for the Bulldogs’ four losses. The district championship was the fourth for the Trenton program with all four coming consecutively since 2017. “There were so many unknowns going into this season,” Trenton coach Dave Sager said. “Will we have a season? Will matches get can-
celled from time to time? What would my lineup look like for the season? The players and myself were ecstatic that we got to play a full season in and, to top it off, make it back to the state sectional rounds. I’m extremely proud of all the accomplishments that this team has done this season, and the best part is that I’m not losing a player off the roster for next season. “Again, congratulations to my team this year. We’ll start getting ready for next season.” Savannah, meanwhile, suffered its first loss in the state quarterfinals, falling 5-0 to Kansas City Barstow. The MSHSAA Tennis Championships are set for May 28-29 at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield.

score. Savannah entered the match as a heavy favorite, boasting an undefeated record on the season and already holding a 9-0 win over Trenton early in the season. The Bulldogs were hoping to show some improvement from that early season meeting, but Savannah had all of the answers. The Savages grabbed control of the dual in doubles play, sweeping all three matches. Trenton’s top duo of Trent Villacampa and Bradyn Sager suffered an 8-1 loss and Jonin Villacampa and Maverick Sole fell 8-2. Riley Walker and Dylan Smith lost as well, falling 8-3.

of two exploratory sessions that came to light hours before the start of the NFL draft on April 29. Meyer raved about Tebow’s workouts, saying assistants were surprised to see the 235-pounder in such great shape. Ultimately, Tebow’s ability to pick up a new position — a number of college QBs have made the transition look seamless — will determine whether he makes the team. Just getting a chance after such a lengthy layoff has stirred debate about preferential treatment. Others insist it’s merely the result of a decades-long relationship that now includes Meyer and Tebow being neighbors in Jacksonville. “This Tebow deal just shows that personal relationships go further at this level than actual ability,” Carolina Panthers defensive tackle DaQuan Jones posted on Twitter last week. Former Dallas receiver Dez Bryant, current Pittsburgh linebacker Devin Bush and Denver safety Kareem Jackson were among a number of others who criticized the move. “So Tebow haven’t played an NFL game in damn near a decade and it’s that simple … no hate but you got to be kidding me,” Bryant posted on Twitter. Added Jackson: “I love Tebow too but gahh damn he got more lives than a cat.” Tebow, who grew up in Jacksonville and remains a popular figure in his hometown, could fill a huge hole for Meyer. The Jaguars decided not to pick up a team option in veteran Tyler Eifert’s contract and traded oft-injured 2019 draft pick Josh Oliver to Baltimore in March. They signed run-blocking specialist Chris Manhertz in free agency, brought back James O’Shaughnessy and drafted Ohio State’s Luke Farrell in the fifth round. Those were considered minor moves after Meyer vowed to completely revamp the position group. Tebow, at the very least, provides another splash for a franchise that had been mostly irrelevant the last two decades. But how much can a guy on the wrong side of 30 who’s never played the position
bring to the team? Tebow’s value could mean as much off the field as on it. Meyer has said repeatedly that signing players who already know his methodology would be helpful in Year 1. Jacksonville now has six guys on its roster who previously played for Meyer: Tebow, Farrell, running back Carlos Hyde, guard Andrew Norwell, defensive end Lerentee McCray and defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton. Tebow played for Meyer between 2006 and 2009, helping the Gators win two national championships while becoming one of the most recognizable athletes in college sports. He was a first-round draft pick by Denver in 2010, but his lengthy windup and inaccuracy led to a short NFL career. He spent time with the Broncos, the New York Jets, New England and Philadelphia. His last meaningful game came with the Jets in 2012. The Eagles cut him following training camp in 2015, with thencoach Chip Kelly saying Tebow wasn't good enough to be Philly's No. 3 QB. Tebow won a playoff game with Denver in 2012, but never developed into a dependable NFL starter. He asked Meyer for guidance on whether to switch to tight end while bouncing from team to team, but Meyer “was so busy I couldn't give him the time.” Tebow ended up leaving football altogether and signing with the Mets. “I know playing a position in the NFL without (experience), that’s a long shot," Meyer said during the draft. When Tebow approached Meyer about making a comeback, the coach invited him to the facility for a workout. Meyer made it clear he didn’t feel like he owed Tebow anything, either. “I have one job and that is to win games with the Jacksonville Jaguars,” Meyer said. “If Tim Tebow or (rookie running back) Travis Etienne can help us win, then that’s my job to get them ready to go play.”

LOCAL Chamber • From Front Page •
May 28 by contacting the chamber at 359-4324 or by email at trentonmochamber@ gmail.com. Honorees The 2021 Pillars of the Community, M.G. Kennedy and Dan Wilford, have spent a lifetime giving back to their community and have no intention of stopping. Kennedy, a resident of rural Trenton, and Wilford, a resident of rural Laredo, began serving the area at an early age and continue to be individuals who still answer the call when needed. “There are so many good things in Trenton and I want to focus on the good,” Kennedy said in his explanation of why he feels it is important to give back to a community that has provided him with a place to live and raise his family over the years. He initially was employed by Grundy Electric Cooperative as an electrician , which also allowed him the opportunity to focus on his “real job” of farming. He farmed with his wife, Beth’s, family until her parents were killed in a car wreck. He later bought out his brother-in-law’s portion of the farming business and he and his wife became sole owners of the farm which they still own and operate today. In 1994, he became a registered sales manager with Burris Seeds, serving north Missouri and southern Iowa for 16 years before retiring from that job. But it wasn’t all work with Kennedy, who took on many volunteer roles, beginning with serving as president of the Pleasant View R-6 Community Club – the first of many education-related “jobs” he would be involved in while he and Beth were raising their three children, Brenda, Alan and Don. “We felt it was important to support our kids and it was one
of the nicest things we were involved in,” Kennedy said. In addition to his work with the community club, he spent time serving as a 4-H leader and was extensively involved with FFA activities – in particular as one of four sets of parents whose sons made up the Goat Ropers, a singing group that began as entertainment at the state FFA Convention but eventually performed at events throughout Missouri and surrounding states, including the National FFA Convention. In addition to Alan Kennedy, the group included Alan Ferguson, Tim Hein and the late Joe Brinser with Joe’s mother, Ann, being the leader of the group. “We had so much fun doing that,” Kennedy said, adding that many individuals were met along the way who remain friends today. “And we never had to worry about those kids doing anything that wouldn’t make us proud. They were a fine group of boys.” Kennedy was among individuals who helped in getting signatures that would eventually lead to the formation of the county public water district, a job he said that provided a challenge as not everyone necessarily thought it was a good idea at the time. “We had to work at it,” he said. He was appointed by the county commission to serve as a member of the Grundy County Library Board, with trying to come up with a way to better fund the library one of the first challenges he encountered. “We didn’t have any money and we definitely were not paying Mrs. (Catheryn) Higdon enough,” he said, noting that the county did finally pass a tax after his term on the board was completed. Kennedy also served several years on the Trenton Township Board as well as the Grundy County Extension Council. He has been a member of the
CVB Approves Procedures The Trenton Convention and Visitors Bureau met May 14 at city hall. Jordan Ferguson gave the financial report with total revenue to date. The group discussed the situation with the email address, agreeing to use cservices@trentonmo.com for the time being, with that address being monitored by Rosetta Marsh, Venissa Burchett and Monica Burchett at city hall. Mrs. Marsh is going to email the RFP with a drafted memo from the group to the current contact list in the next few days. They will monitor the email address and forward any received emails to the group. The due date was set as June 15 and the RFPs will be reviewed at the next meeting before the anticipated start date of July 15. After branding, a separate email will be created for long-term use. Under policies and procedures, the group discussed how to operate as an organization and agreed that in addition to the ordinance, policies and procedures are needed. Discussion included the spending authorization of the board republican-times.com
chair and treasurer of up to $1,000, with anything over that needing board approval. Other policies discussed included the quorum number for meetings being a majority; an attendance policy of no more than three unexcused absences per fiscal year; the fiscal year will follow the city, along with annual meeting and annual budget dates; voting and attendance via in person or zoom/electronic; board member term limits do not apply, but can be terminated upon majority vote by board members and authority by the mayor; officer terms set at one year unless continually elected; appointment of new officers by the mayor during the first month of the fiscal year; notice of each monthly meeting to be publicly posted; the group will follow city guidelines and processes and are allowed to make amendments to policies and procedures with a majority board vote. Once the draft is finished, it will be shared with the city council. The next meeting was scheduled for noon on June 23 at city hall.
North Central Missouri Fair Board, along with his wife, and his family represented Grundy County as the county’s Farm Family at the Missouri State Fair. The Kennedys have also been longtime members of the Grundy Center Church where, of course, M.G. has served on various boards. “I’ve done everything but be a Sunday school teacher,” he said. His current passion is the Grundy County Community Food Pantry, where he can be found most days helping pack up food and delivering boxes to families served by the organization. He is also president of the food pantry board. “I work with a wonderful board and a great group of volunteers who are willing to go above and beyond to serve those in need,” he said. It’s those individuals, along with others he has worked with, that he credits with the success of those volunteer activities he has participated in over the years. “You surround yourself with good people and they will make you look good,” he said. “And I’ve been blessed to work with a lot of good ones.” –––––––––––––––– Anyone who asks Dan Wilford how he is doing, his answer is always the same: “Superfantastic.” That word can also be used to describe the work he has done in giving back to the community in which he has been a part of for many years. Described by those who know him as “positive” and “generous” it is understandable why his list of community volunteer work is so extensive. “I love helping people have a better quality of life,” he said. While serving as a licensed professional counselor for many years, Wilford is probably best known for his involvement with his church and the religious community in general. A charter member of the
American Association of Christian Counselors, he has served on the board of the Sparrow Ministry Advisory Council, the Medicine Valley Community Ministries Advisory Council, chaplain for Marketplace Chaplains USA and a director with the Southern Baptist Bi-vocational Ministers. He is a director/teacher of the North Grand River Baptist Seminary Extension and since 2007 has been the fulltime pastor of the First Baptist Church at Milan. He has also led a weekly worship service at the Milan Health Care Center and a monthly worship service at the Sullivan County Memorial Hospital in Milan. His community volunteer list is long as well, beginning with his involvement with both the Lions Club and Rotary Club organizations. His membership in the Laredo Lions Club has included several offices while as a member of both the Milan and Trenton Rotary Clubs he has been a board member, served as president and sergeant of arms and provided a weekly newsletter. He is a Paul Harris Fellow, several times over, and was recently recognized by Rotary District 6040 for his charitable giving to and involvement in the Rotary International program. He certainly lives the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.” Dan has also held memberships on the Grundy County Human Resources Council, the Wright Memorial Hospital Board of Directors, the Grundy County Supportive House Board (vice president), Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library Friends of the Library (president), the Trenton Ministerial Alliance (treasurer) and the Senate Bill 40 Board of Grundy County dba Family and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled (president) – and has been very active in all. He has provided funding to help the recently-formed Arts
Alive organization achieve not-for-profit status and to help purchase furniture for the new Life Options facility. He is a regular contributor to many other organizations in the community as well, including the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce and the community fireworks. “It irks me when people say they don’t have time (to give back to their community),” Wilford said. “They have 24 hours in a day. I never say I don’t have time.” It’s not all work for Dan, who does have a passion for one hobby – that of a “rockhound.” He has collected rocks from 22 countries around the world and hopes to collect even more as he and his wife, Carol, a recently retired music instructor, plan to do more traveling while also continuing visits with their three children – Mary, John and Naomi – and their grandchildren. He also enjoys building birdhouses. “The word retirement is not in my vocabulary,” Dan said. “I plan on doing what I do until I can’t do it anymore.” ———————Vintage Vines and Black Silo Winery are the 2021 Businesses of the Year. Vintage Vines is owned and operated by sisters Sena and Rachel Arnold. The store has been a key in the revitalization of downtown Trenton, with Sena and Rachel remodeling an empty building and turning it into a vital business that draws many visitors to the community while providing a much-needed product. In the short time Vintage Vines has been in business, both Sena and Rachel have become very involved in the local activities and participate in many events that promote Trenton and its business community. In its short time as a local business, Black Silo Winery has made its impact felt. Located on the east edge of Trenton, the winery has now
become the place to go for activities that happen all throughout the year. Owners Duane Urich and Jenn Hottes began growing grapes in 2010 and opened for business in 2013. In addition to providing a fun place to sit, relax and enjoy a locally-produced glass of wine, Black Silo hosts a number of activities throughout the year and has become north Missouri’s home for great music. The Mid-America Music Festival, first started in 2017, draws big crowds and after having to cancel its 2020 event due to COVID will be bringing back music to the area with two nights of entertainment on July 16-17. A concert series has been added this year, with a featured band playing each month from April to October. Other events include the annual Swine in the Vine KC BBQ-Sanctioned competition on June 18-19, Wine and Wheels car show fundraiser on June 26 and the community fireworks show on July 2. ————————— Trenton Elks Lodge No. 801 is the 2021 Organization of the Year.

munity,” he said, saying that he believes if people are willing to invest in the community in whatever way they can, there will be good results. The rural areas, he noted, are beginning to be a viable alternative to people who are deciding where to live, work and raise their families because of a good quality of life and affordability. “Small towns are starting to be more and more of a selling point to people,” he said.

OP/ED COLUMN ONE SETH HERROLD
T-BALL DAD The sounds of kids screaming can be heard throughout town. The smell of cigarette smoke is heavy in the air. Skin gives way to a rocky infield. Folks, it is once again T-ball season. For years, T-ball has served a select set of purposes. For those in the crowd, it is a comedy act with a high entertainment value. For the kids, it is an opportunity to stay in contact with their friends after school lets out for the summer. For the coaches in charge of corralling 15-20 preschool and kindergarten age kids, it’s a chance to reflect on dodgy life decisions that landed them in this precarious position. The summer of 2021 marks the first career season of any athletic sport for one Cash Herrold, making me, for the first time, a T-ball dad. Fun fact about being a T-ball dad: when you show up with your kid to the first day of practice, you immediately get asked to help, which I politely declined — point Herrold. See, when I first started preparing myself to be a Tball dad, there were two things I didn’t want to become. One is the over-involved parent, the other is the underinvolved parent. There is a middle ground there that I am striving for. The signs of the over-involved parent are easy to spot. It’s the one who didn’t sign up to be a coach, but is out on the field trying to coach over the coach. They’re the ones who are mad their kid is drawing circles in the dirt instead of charging a slow-rolling ground ball. Cash loves dirt. He’s four, after all. There are holes and roads he has carved into our yard with his backhoes and front loaders, much to his mother’s dismay. He actually walked off the field during one practice and asked me if I would run home and get his diggers for him so he could dig on the infield. Kids at this age are going to have short attention spans and the game of baseball doesn’t really play well to that. It’s why soccer is such a popular youth sport. The kids are just basically running and chasing the whole time. That’s their natural element. One thing I think all T-ball parents need to keep in mind is that Mike Trout didn’t become Mike Trout on a T-ball field. I’m all for saying “Cash, get ready” or “Cash, pay attention,” but I’m not going to raise my blood pressure if he wants to do a little excavation work at second base. But, I will be there as much as I can. I know it isn’t very realistic for both parents to be at every event, but the important part is that you go to the events you can. We already have one road trip to Cainsville that is going to be tough for us to make. The grandparents are going to take care of getting him there, though, and, hopefully, we can make it before the Gilman City Blue Team closes out another victory. Like I said, I’m striving for that middle ground. Be there to support my kid, but don’t be there to go crazy. I think I’m doing good so far, but games start this week so we will see how that goes. Wish me luck, but more importantly, wish Coach Ryan and all the other T-ball coaches in the area luck. They’re the ones who will really have their patience tested this summer. Thanks for reading and if you have a youth player this summer I hope you enjoy the ride, it’s going to be fun. Here are some recommendations... EAT - The eating recommendation, or drinking in this case, is the coconut mocha latte at Washington Street. I’ve dubbed it “The Cocomo.” READ - “Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America's First Frontier” by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. While waiting for my wife and kid at a bathroom stop in Walmart I stumbled upon this book. It is fantastic and, humble brag, I’m actually related to Daniel Boone. My grandma has our family tree traced back a long way and there’s Boone, hanging out on one of the branches. WATCH - The PGA Championship. Golf is one of my favorite sports to watch, which could make me either cool or weird to you. Either way, championship coverage on Sunday begins at noon on ESPN. Don’t sleep on a Jordan Spieth renaissance, either.

Beer, Doughnuts and a $1 Million Lottery - How Vaccine Incentives Can Help Us Reach Herd Immunity by Isabelle Brocas USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts. It can be found at http://bit.ly/TCUSinfo) A growing number of states, cities and companies are offering incentives to encourage people to get vaccinated. And the sweeteners keep getting bigger and better.
GUEST EDITORIALS New Jersey, for example, is picking up the tab for a free beer for anyone who can prove they got a shot. Maryland is offering state employees US$100, while Lancaster, California, is trying to encourage teens to get inoculated by entering their names in a raffle for college scholarships worth up to $10,000. Not to be outdone, Ohio announced on May 12, 2021, that it was creating a lottery with prizes of up to a full four-year scholarship for newly vaccinated teens and $1 million for adults. Meanwhile, companies are offering everything from paid time off and gift cards to doughnuts and a burger and french fries. Of course the big question is, will any of this work? The stakes couldn’t be higher. Health officials say herd immunity is critical to ending the pandemic, and that means having anywhere from 60% to 90% of a given population vaccinated, including children. But recent surveys suggest more than one-third of adults are at least reluctant to get the vaccine. While behavioral economists generally study people’s decisions and the effect of incentives on behavior, my research at the Los Angeles Behavioral Economics Laboratory focuses more closely on why they make those decisions. I believe incentives can work, but there are two other important tools in policymakers’ behavioral toolkits as well. How we make decisions Decision-making is guided by whether people perceive an option as rewarding or displeasing. We evaluate decisions based on how we encode and recollect our own personal experiences, how costly we feel it is to choose one path or another and how we process the information around us. In addition, the different communities we live in may reinforce certain messages over others. The intention to get vaccinated may be influenced by factors including education level, religious beliefs or political affiliation. Some of the reasons people give for not wanting to get vaccinated can probably be addressed, while others may be insurmountable. But to induce people to make decisions that they are not willing to make, one needs to shift their motivations. Giving people an incentive Economic incentives are one way to do that. Economic incentives can make a decision more pleasant by offering rewards or lowering costs. Recent examples of efforts to make getting vaccinated more rewarding include offering savings bonds, coupons, tickets for baseball games and free items in shops. These incentives target people who think that they do not need a COVID-19 vaccine, who usually do not get vaccinated for non-ideological reasons or those who find it inconvenient. Recent surveys suggest such tactics could be successful. One recent poll found that 47% of people who want to “wait and see” about the vaccines said getting paid time off from work to get a shot would make them more likely to do so. And 39% said a financial incentive of $200 would do the trick. A problem with states offering cash payments or lottery winnings is that people may interpret them as a signal that the vaccine is dangerous, perhaps reinforcing their
own beliefs. Research also suggests that perks may be more effective than cash and may be a good alternative for both states and companies. News you can use But incentives aren’t the only way governments can get people to change their minds. Information campaigns are an attractive alternative. They aim to shift beliefs and opinions by providing knowledge and awareness about some elements of the decision a person may have missed. This includes disclosing the results of clinical trials or explaining how mRNA vaccines work on the 12- to 15-year-olds who are now eligible. People who fear that clinical trials have been rushed and are still hesitant might respond favorably to information campaigns demonstrating the effects of the vaccines on the U.S. population and elsewhere. These campaigns could also be combined with incentives, such as inviting people to watch informational videos and then reward them with credits that they can use at local stores. This type of motivational push is least likely to work with those who do not trust sources of information that contradict their opinions or whose opposition to the vaccine is ideological. A little nudge If incentives and offering information don’t work, another option is the nudge, a term popularized by behavioral economist Richard Thaler and legal scholar Cass Sunstein. Nudges use positive reinforcement or indirect suggestions to influence behavior, such as by taking advantage of peer pressure or by making a certain choice easier for people to adopt. Research shows they can be very effective. For example, requiring people to opt out of a company 401(k) plan rather than opt in led to a substantial increase in the number of people saving for retirement. Many people are already nudging friends and colleagues in their social networks to get vaccinated by posting pictures of themselves on Twitter and Facebook getting a shot, celebrating or holding their vaccination cards. Policymakers could similarly promote vaccination by demonstrating that others in the same community already got a shot. Governments could also make it easier to get a shot by doing things like adding vaccine sites at subway stations. Nudges are appealing because they do not cost as much as economic incentives. They also can help change habits and they sometimes have persistent effects. However, nudges work best if people agree with the end outcome. Persuading the persuadable There is little chance of incentivizing people who have set their minds against the vaccine or whose objections are based on conspiracy theories. Because it is in their interest to promote these views, or because they are convinced that they are right, they will resist economic incentives, disregard information campaigns and refuse to be nudged in a direction opposite to their beliefs. However, there seems to be hope to persuade many of the hesitant or reluctant. A recent survey of people in these categories revealed that about 20% of respondents would get vaccinated after people they know did. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently offered another type of motivation when it said that vaccinated people could go mask-free in most settings, including indoors. Another recent poll suggested this may be effective on Republicans, who were significantly more likely to be willing to get a shot if it meant they no longer had to wear a mask. I believe a combination of incentives and other motivations stand a good chance of helping the U.S. reach herd immunity and ultimately end the pandemic.

might result in the city charging a fee for access to the popular fishing site. During a meeting of the Trenton Utility Committee on Tuesday, Water Plant Supervisor Steve Reid told the committee there has been vandalism on the intake structure and that there has been an issue with people partying, throwing rocks, leaving trash, etc. While he wants the reservoir to be open for fishermen, he said it might be a good idea to charge a nominal fee, such as $5 annually, that would allow the person to have a key to a gate. That would help alleviate the problem of just anyone being able to go there and hopefully keep the vandals out. Reid said he has talked to several fishermen who use the reservoir and they are supportive of that idea. The issue will be discussed again at the June meeting. Committee members met with Cary Sayre of Allstate Consultants, who presented cost estimates on work on the river pump station, the reservoir pump station and water treatment plant improvements. The latter has an estimated construction cost of $1,923,950 (including a 15 percent contingency) and professional services cost of $333,000 for a total of $2,256,950. The estimated cost for the refurbishing of the reservoir pump station is $300,150 (including the 15 percent contingency) and $135,500 for professional services for a total of
river pump station refurbishing done, with hopes that if money becomes available, that project can be completed as well. It is estimated at $159,850 for construction (including the same contingency) and $107,500 for professional services for a total cost of $267,350. The utility committee will recommend the city go with a design/bid/build agreement with Allstate at Monday’s city council meeting, however it is possible that the final agreement would be design/build, with the city choosing it’s own contractor for the project. The committee will also send to the council for approval proposals from RS Electric for integration services for the power plant at a cost of $74,500 and work on the diesel substation at a proposed cost of $46,195. In other business, the committee heard reports from department heads, including information about the sewer main replacement project that is getting under way at the courthouse and work that is being done with utilities in the area of the new North Central Missouri College residence halls. The committee also added a statement to the existing utility shutoff policy for non-payment to clarify that Trenton Municipal Utilities is not under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission and is not required to follow the “Hot Weather Rule” or the “Cold Weather Rule.”

AG BRIEFS Fungicide Proves Effective
Three years of research in the “MU Certified” Strip Trial Program shows that applying fungicides to soybean at the R3 growth stage reduces foliar disease and increases yield. University of Missouri Extension plant pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette said the results come from 33 tests across the state from 2018 to 2020. Trials show that fungicide application increased yield by 1.5 bushels per acre, with a 90% probability that the mean response across all locations was 1.2 to 2.2 bushels per acre. The trial looked at fungicide-treated and untreated soybean. Farmers could choose which fungicide to apply at the R3 growth stage. Farmers control all other management decisions, said MU Extension nutrient management specialist John Lory, who leads the strip trial program with Bissonnette. Soybean in strips treated with fungicide showed less Septoria and frogeye leaf spot, said Bissonnette. Find the complete results at striptrial.missouri.edu. The Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council and MU Extension supported this on-farm research with cooperation from Missouri soybean farmers and MU Extension faculty. Other partners in the strip trial program include the Missouri Fertilizer Board and the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council. •WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease! Competitve Rates

ear Annie
Dear Annie: I am 47 years old. I lost my husband of 23 years two years ago. Since he died, I've dated some men. And last year, I fell for a guy, "Roy." Roy is in his 50s, and he seemed mature at first. I thought he knew what he wanted. He started living at my house and even proposed to me. I thought we'd be planning a wedding. But he changed his routine suddenly, and one week soon after that, he started acting differently. I came to find out that he was talking to other women -- exchanging risque Facebook messages and texts. Then I caught him in a hotel with a woman. After that, he stopped talking to me and shacked up with this other woman. He'd never let me know that we had any issues. A few months after he moved out, he started messaging me again when he was at work or whenever this other woman wasn't around. I wasn't interested in him romantically anymore (I'm seeing someone new), but I thought we could be friends. Finally, I was able to bring him his clothes and stuff, after six months. Well, just this week, he found out I'm with 4,240

someone, and he gets mad at me. I don't understand that. I've tried being friends, but then he ghosts me after two days of talking. What do you think: Should I cut everything off, or just leave it be? He has lied about us telling people I stole the engagement ring, which is not true. -- Friend or Faux Dear Friend: All good relationships are founded on respect. Roy has not given you any of that -- not before as a romantic partner, and not now as a "friend." It's nice to be amicable with exes whenever possible, but for toxic relationships, the healthiest option is usually to cut off all contact. Treat Roy like a biohazard and keep him out of your life, lest he contaminate your current relationship, too. Dear Annie: In December, I was diagnosed with advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had no symptoms. The doctors accidentally discovered a huge tumor that was strangling both kidneys, during an unrelated procedure. The doctor said the tumor could be as old as 10 years. I started undergoing treatment almost right away, and last month, I was told that

the kidneys were almost back to normal. Similarly, last year my mother noticed that her upper right abdomen seemed swollen. She went to the doctor and found out she had liver cancer, and two weeks later, she died. She had no other symptoms that I was aware of. The reason I'm writing is to encourage your readers to get a thorough medical checkup every year and don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions about your health. -- Ann S. Dear Ann: I'm sorry for the loss of your mother and sorry that you're living with lymphoma. I hope you continue to recover and keep the cancer at bay. Your letter is a welcome nudge to schedule my annual physical, and I hope it will be to others, as well. Dear Annie: With regard to the letter from "Sad Wife," whose husband blew up over a small question and then stormed out to leave on his own: I may be overly suspicious, but this looks like gaslighting to me. Maybe, for whatever reason, this man needed his wife to stay home, so he started a baseless fight that gave him an excuse to do just that. -- Been There, Recognize That Dear Been There: Sharp insight. You may, unfortunately, be right.

Britain’s restaurants, gyms and wedding venues are scrambling to hire chefs, waiters and event managers as restrictions ease, in a bright spot for the country’s COVID-19-battered economy. Tens of thousands of jobs are available in the U.K.’s hospitality, event and leisure sectors, according to a report from job search engine Adzuna that coincided with the country’s latest big step out of lockdown on Monday. People in England are now able to eat inside restaurants, drink in pubs, watch films at movie theaters, work out in gyms and attend weddings with Jobs advertised*
up to 30 people. Overall, job postings are at their highest level in 17 months, with demand strongest for chefs and waiters, according to Adzuna’s data. The flipside is red-hot competition for staff because there just aren’t enough people applying for the jobs available at the salaries offered. Over the past year, many laid off restaurant workers left the industry for more secure work while interest from foreign workers has dropped after Brexit, which complicated British employers’ efforts to hire staff from the European Union.
