TRENTON POLICE DEPARTMENT
Diab Faces Long Recovery
Officer Thankful For Support Shown Following Shooting Jasmine Diab certainly couldn’t imagine she would be spending her 25th birthday in a Kansas City hospital recovering from a gunshot wound, but, if nothing else, she is able to celebrate life - a life that was nearly taken from her a week ago. In that week’s time, the Trenton police officer has watched a community come together to support her and her fellow officers. Officer Diab, who joined the force in June 2017, turned 25 on June 20 and is recuperating from a gunshot wound she sustained while transporting 38year-old Trenton resident Jamey A. Griffin to St. Joseph for a mental health evaluation on June 14. During a struggle in the vehicle, Griffin was able to gain control of Officer Diab’s weapon, shooting her in the abdomen. Griffin was wounded in the hand during the incident. He attempted to take the patrol unit and flee from the scene, but two bystanders, Rick Shannon and Jason Gamm, were able to capture him and hold him until
UTILITY COMMITTEE
law enforcement officers arrived on the scene in Winston. Griffin is being held without bond in the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail on three felony charges. While the story of her injury has garnered a lot of attention across the entire area, Officer Diab is focusing on getting better and celebrating every breath. The outpouring of support she has received has left her nearly speechless - something that anyone who knows her would find somewhat unbelievable. “I really appreciate the support of the community and everything that everyone has done for me,” she said on Wednesday. “It has really touched my heart and opened my eyes about how this community really cares about me. I appreciate the prayers. I had no pulse and now I’m awake and talking, so it’s working.” The long road to recovery has begun and no one knows exactly what the future will hold, but community members are making the road a little bit
easier with numerous fundraisers being planned and individuals and organizations donating funds for expenses, utilities, etc. A fund has been set up at North Central Missouri College, where Officer Diab is a criminal justice major. Dino’s Diner will hold a fish dinner fundraiser tonight (Friday), with the proceeds from the $10 meal to be donated to the officer. Other opportunities to help can be found on the Facebook page Helping Jasmine Diab. As one would expect, Officer Diab is not the only one being affected by the incident. Her fellow officers at the Trenton Police Department have had to come to terms with the incident and how close they came to losing a member of their family. The community support for Officer Diab, however, has been a bright spot, according to Trenton Police Chief Rex Ross. “I think the whole department has been impressed with the show of support,” said Chief Ross. “At a time when
Officer Jasmine Diab
morale was really low, we’ve been able to recognize that we really do have a lot of community support.” Chief Ross said the officers have held a group meeting to be able to process the events of June 14 and another one will be offered in the future. The department is also reaching out to those who have been in similar situations to be available for Officer Diab and her fellow officers. The thing that no one See Officer, Page 12
City Has Chance To Save Money said that an improved credit rating for the city has resulted in more banks being interested in financing the project. A formal presentation on the financing is to be made to the council at its meeting on Monday night. The committee voted to send several recommendations to the council for formal approval. The list includes: • a project at 24th Street and Pleasant Plain to address issues with sewer lines in the area. The company doing the Normal Street sewer line project, SAK Construction of O’Fallon, has submitted a cost proposal of $41,400 to do the work while in Trenton. If approved, it would be done as a change order in connection with the Normal Street work. • a proposal for maintenance and equipment upgrades at the water plant. • approval of a bid from Border States Electric for four motorized, gang-oper-

Light Agenda For Tuesday
Project Financing Discussed
The city of Trenton is hoping to save money on the cost of its effluent disinfection project at the wastewater plant after learning that a lower interest rate to pay for the work is available. During a meeting on Tuesday night, members of the city council’s Utility Committee received financial information regarding payment for the headworks project, which the council has agreed to do as part of the project now under way to meet effluent disinfection requirements of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Information presented by City Administrator Ron Urton showed the city would be able to borrow $6,102,395 at a rate of 3.6 percent over a 20-year period to pay for the entire project (current work and the headworks). The city is now paying an interest rate of 4.9 percent on certificates of participation being used to finance the current project work. Urton

ated, air brake switches at a cost of $37,800 and the purchase of 47 power poles from McFarland at a cost of $10,700. • a proposed change in the city’s net metering policy, changing the credit a user of solar electricity receives from the city for feeding power back into the city grid to a fixed rate of three cents per kilowatt hour. The credit would be listed on the customer’s bill. Comptroller Rosetta Marsh reported on bids being sought to print and mail the city’s utility bills. The bids will then be compared to the cost of having an employee do the work before a decision is made. The committee also held a brief discussion regarding electric rates, reviewed the monthly financial statement and heard reports from department heads.
The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session on Tuesday at the courthouse. The only item listed on the agenda is a 10 a.m. meeting with Ambulance Director Steve Tracy.
NCMC Board Meeting The North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees will meet in regular session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25 in the Frey Administrative Building.

2019-20 Budget Amended
New Water, Sewer Rates Set For City Of Spickard The Spickard Board of Aldermen have approved new water and sewer rates following action taken during a meeting on Monday night, June 17. According to minutes provided by the city, new water and sewer rates were adopted by the board, effective June 25. The vote was 3-0 with aldermen Wilbur Roberts, Maggie George and Daniel Chapman in favor. Alderman Charles Holtzclaw was absent. The minimum charge for water used up to 1,000 gallons will be $30 per month. Water usage over 1,000 gallons will be charged at a rate of $16.50 per 1,000 gallons. The water usage will be billed in 100-gallon increments for all water used over the minimum charge. The base rate for sewer usage was set at $10 per month for a connection to the system. The Tier 1 rate, which is usage based on the first 1,000 gallons of water used, will be the base rate plus $9. The rate for all gallons used over
1,000 will be $9.50 per 1,000 gallons. The sewer usage will be billed in 100-gallon increments for all gallons over the Tier 1 rate. The new rates replace ones that were adopted earlier this year and rescinded after three members of the board of aldermen resigned and were replaced. The resignations followed a public meeting in April, during which time several citizens voiced their concerns about the original utility rate increases that resulted in some customers seeing their bills increase by as much as 250 percent. The rate increases were made due to improvements the city is looking at regarding its water and wastewater system, including the possible construction of a new lagoon. Also adopted by the board was an ordinance amending the budget for the 2019-20 year to reflect anticipated revenues and expenditures involved with the new rates. The budget now shows the sewer fund with a projected balance of $479.20 while the water fund has an antici-
National Weather Service There is a chance of rain throughout the weekend, with highs in the 80s and lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Monday’s high at the Government Weather Station in Trenton was 82, Tuesday’s high was 81 and Wednesday’s high was 73, with a low of 65 and .97 of an inch of rain recorded. The high on Wednesday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 68, the low was 59 and .31 of an inch of rain was recorded.
pated balance of $88.82. The board voted to hire Troy George to dig up lines in which water leaks have been found so that repairs can be made. Three of the leaks have been designated as top priorities and include one behind the post office, one in the downtown area and one coming from an embankment. A sewer leak has also been reported on property containing a grinder pump and the board also hired George to dig up that line as well. Robert Payne will make repairs on all the lines. The council voted to replace a grinder pump control panel that had recently failed. It was noted that Mayor Alan Tharp continues to work on an emergency plan for sewer repairs that could include using gas-powered pumps. It was voted to give the mayor authority to make decisions regarding emergency repairs without prior board approval. The city has been informed that needed re-
pairs to the south pump station will cost much more than had previously been projected due to the number of homes being served. Irvinbilt Construction, which was contracted to do the repair work, said it was willing to proceed with the project at the increased price or the contract could be dissolved and the city could buy the materials already purchased for the work. The other option was to see if the parts could be returned and the city pay any restocking fees. It was noted that a second contractor had indicated the work could be done for $5,000, but is waiting for a final estimate before moving forward. Getting estimates from other contractors was also discussed. The mayor reported the water tower should be fixed by the end of the week. Grundy County Public Water District #1 personnel are making the repairs and the city is paying the cost. The city will continue monitoring the tower on a daily basis.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — When Texas Tech's Taylor Floyd struck out Reese Albert to end the game — and Mike Martin's career — the Florida State coach walked up the dugout steps, took off his glasses and strode across the field to shake hands with the opposing coach one more time. While the fans at TD Ameritrade Park showered Martin in applause, his wife of 55 years, Carol, greeted well-wishers in the stands. Martin then waved to and thanked fans who gathered above the dugout. After the 4-1 loss in the elimination game, Martin heads into retirement with 2,029 career wins — most by any coach in any college sport. Each of his 40 teams won at least 40 games and played in the NCAA Tournament. But, he never won a national championship. "I can fake a smile with the best of them and I'll get through the rest of this night with a smile because I got to watch young men grow up," Martin said. "I got to work for Florida State for 45 years and I'll never forget the times I've had out here in Omaha." Brian Klein broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth with his second homer in three games, and third of the season, and Texas Tech (4619) won a second game at a CWS for the first time in its four appearances. "In the back of your mind, obviously, you're thinking about '11' a little bit," Tech coach Tim Tadlock said, referring to Martin by his nickname. "All the respect in the world for him. Love him, and just appreciate everything he's done for college baseball." FSU (42-23) had no trouble scoring while sweeping through a regional in Athens, Georgia, and a super regional at

when Klein lofted an off-speed pitch from Conor Grady (9-6) into the right-center bleachers for his ninth homer in 150 career games. "I have no idea where the home runs started to come from, but today it happened that it gave us a really big run, and I'm super thankful for it," Klein said. Chase Haney pitched two shutout innings in relief of Grady, and then Martin went to J.C. Flowers. Texas Tech pounced on the star closer, who didn't record an out and gave up three singles, with Klein reaching on a dropped third strike. Flowers left with the bases loaded, and it was 4-1 when Antonio Velez walked in a run. The Seminoles had at least one runner on base each inning and looked as though they might get something going in the eighth when, with a man aboard, Carter Smith sent a drive into the right center gap. But center fielder Dylan Neuse laid out to make the catch. Floyd pitched one-hit shutout relief over the last four innings for his fifth save. "Probably the biggest thing, this group, they really like to play," Tadlock said. "They're not going to let some type of circumstance, the results dictate their effort and their preparation. They've been really good about respecting the game and trying to play the game the right way. Not saying we always get great results, but as long as the preparation is right, we're happy with them." UP NEXT Texas Tech plays today (Friday) against Michigan. The Red Raiders would have to beat the Wolverines today and again Saturday to reach the best-of-three finals next week.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to earn Martin his 17th trip to the CWS. The Seminoles beat Arkansas 1-0 here Saturday, but lost 2-0 to Michigan before the Red Raiders eliminated them. Martin's last team was one of the final four squads awarded at-large bids to the 64-team national tournament after struggling for stretches of the regular season. "To have the success we've had the last three years, the ACC championships, two trips to Omaha, 40 wins every year," third baseman Drew Mendoza said. "To experience that with him and be part of his legacy is a dream come true." The Seminoles batted .124 in Omaha (11 of 89) and their two runs in three games tied a CWS record low. Their 0for-17 batting with runners in scoring position was the lowest by a team in at least 20 years, according to ESPN. Florida State also struck out 15 times against Texas Tech. "Who would have ever thought six weeks ago that we would even get to Omaha?" Martin said. "The young men are disappointed now. What they accomplished will not go unnoticed — to get to Omaha and have an opportunity." Cameron Warren put Tech up 1-0 in the fourth when he chopped a grounder past diving Mendoza at third, allowing Dylan Neuse to score from second. The Seminoles' only run came in the bottom half thanks to Tech mistakes. Bryce Bonnin (7-1) walked Robby Martin on four pitches and hit Matheu Nelson in the bill of his batting helmet. The runners moved over on a bunt, and Martin came home when catcher Braxton Fulford threw into center field trying to pick off Nelson at second. The Red Raiders went ahead for good
back by a gunman who mistook him for the real target, another man who was seated at the same table at an outdoor cafe, Dominican officials said Wednesday. The Dominican Republic's attorney general and national police director told reporters that the attempted murder was ordered from the United States by Victor Hugo Gomez, an associate of Mexico's Gulf Cartel. They said Gomez had hired a gang of killers to eliminate his cousin, whom Gomez suspected of turning him in to Dominican drug investigators in 2011. The cousin, Sixto David FernĂĄndez, was seated with the former baseball star on the night of June 9, when a gunman approached and fired a single shot at Ortiz, the officials said. FernĂĄndez owned an auto-repair shop and was friends with Ortiz, according to Attorney General Jean Alain RodrĂguez and Maj. Gen. Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte, director of the Dominican Republic's national police. Ortiz remains hospitalized in Boston, where doctors have upgraded his condition from guarded to good. At least 11 people have been arrested in the case so far, ranging from the alleged gunman to a series of drivers and relatively minor accomplices. RodrĂguez and Bautista said
the case of mistaken identity began when one of the accomplices shot a blurry photo of FernĂĄndez seated at the Dial Bar and Lounge in an upscale section of Santo Domingo. In the photo, a white freezer obscures FernĂĄndez's lower body, making it look like he was wearing white pants when, in fact, he was wearing black pants, officials said. "It was a badly lit photo taken minutes before the attack," the chief prosecutor said. Ortiz was wearing white pants on the night of the shooting and law-enforcement officials said that the gunman, Rolfy Ferreyra, mistook him for the target and fired. Nonetheless, many Dominicans were skeptical that their country's most famous person, a 6-foot-3-inch (2 meters) man weighing around 250 pounds (113 kilograms), could be mistaken for FernĂĄndez, who appeared to be far smaller with a lighter complexion in a photo provided by authorities. "He is big. He likes to attract attention," said Daniel Pou, an independent consultant on public security. "He wears a lot of jewelry. He's flashy all around." The alleged shooter is a skinny, tattooed 25-year-old whom U.S. prosecutors said is wanted on armed robbery and gun charges in New Jersey.

His driver was captured immediately after the shooting when he fell off the motorcycle he was trying to use to escape. Ferreyra and the other suspects were captured over the next few days. Ferreyra told reporters from the window of a jail cell this week that he did not mean to shoot Ortiz, but fired at him in confusion over his clothing. Gomez, the alleged mastermind, is believed to be in the United States and is being sought by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Bautista said, pointing to a news report in which federal authorities identified GĂłmez as one of several suspects in a March 2019 drug trafficking sting in Houston, Texas. The weapon used in the shooting was buried in the garden of one of the suspect's home and was later turned over to police by his mother, according to court documents obtained by The AP. Also accused is Gabriel Alexander PĂŠrez VizcaĂno, aka Bone, whom they say was hired by someone who is in prison on unrelated charges to be the liaison between the hit men and the person who paid them. Authorities say PĂŠrez shared the picture of the target as he met the other suspects at a nearby gas station just minutes before the shooting. They said PĂŠrez then sold the cellphone used to plan the attack and to distribute a picture of the target to a woman for $180 so he could get rid of the evidence after the incident. Ortiz is recovering at Massachusetts General Hospital. Doctors in the Dominican Republic removed his gallbladder and part of his intestine before he was wheeled into an air ambulance and flown to Boston.

OP/ED
The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
‘Coming Through’ Again The support being shown to Trenton Police Officer Jasmine Diab and her family following last Friday’s shooting incident only strengthens my belief that Trenton (and Grundy County) is a great place to live and raise a family. Officer Diab was seriously injured after being shot by an individual she was transporting to St. Joseph for a mental evaluation. Thanks to the efforts of several individuals who happened to be in the area where the police car ultimately stopped, an incident that could have possibly turned Diane Lowrey deadly was avoided. Officer Diab was able to be taken to a Kansas City hospital and, after two surgeries, is now on her way to recovery. That recovery will take several months. In the meantime, members of the Trenton community as well as persons from the surrounding area, are coming to her aid to take care of those day-to-day things that will continue as she recovers from her injuries. A fund has been started at Citizens Bank and Trust, where donations can be taken to help with expenses Officer Diab will be incurring over the next several months. Several fundraising events have also been announced, including a meal tonight (Friday) at Dino’s Diner where, in addition to all of the proceeds from the meal being donated to Officer Diab, emergency personnel (police, fire, EMTs, paramedics, etc.) will be able to eat at no cost. A double salute to those individuals who put their lives on the line each and every day to protect and serve our community. As with other fundraisers held in the past to support individuals and families going through a serious illness, loss of a home, etc., residents of Trenton and Grundy County are once again “coming through” for their neighbors. It’s a testament to how those of us who live in a small community were raised - helping others in their time of need. We know each other and it’s just what we do. And that’s why I love living in a small town.
STAR Event Focuses On Suicide Prevention Letters to the Editor To The Editor: My name is Eliana Cowling, and I am going to be a freshman at Trenton High School this fall. Since the beginning of my eighth grade year, I have been working on a STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) event, which is a project for FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America). With this project, my partner Summer Martin and I have made it to regionals, state and soon nationals in Anaheim, CA, later this month. Our project is focused on advocating for suicide prevention. While researching ways to aid in suicide prevention, I stumbled across an article on the Jason Flatt Act. In 1997 Clark Flatt lost his son, Jason, to suicide and the same year a foundation was established in his son’s name. The Jason Flatt Act was introduced in 2004 and was first passed by Tennessee in 2007. If a state passes the Jason Flatt Act, all teachers and other designated personnel must have two hours of suicide prevention training each year. The training consists of one- or two-hour learning modules that include titles such as Suicide Postvention (how to handle the aftermath of a suicide), Childhood and Teen Depression for Educators, NonSuicidal Self-Injury and Bullying and Suicide. The Jason Flatt Act has been passed in 20 states. Unfortunately, Missouri is not one of them. Kansas and Missouri tried
to pass the act at the same time in 2016. Kansas pushed for it and was able to pass it, but Missouri was unsuccessful. One of the goals for our project is to work toward getting the Jason Flatt Act passed in Missouri. To take action, we have sent emails and letters to both State Rep. Rusty Black and State Sen. Denny Hoskins asking them to consider reintroducing legislation supporting the act. We realize it’s not just one group of people, one program, or one piece of legislation that aids in the prevention of suicide, but the Jason Flatt Act was one of the things that we wanted to focus on for our STAR event. We believe suicide prevention training for teachers and principals in our school district (as well as all districts across the state) would be beneficial in making them more aware of the signs of suicide as well as keeping them current on other topics related to suicide. If you think the Jason Flatt Act would benefit Missouri education, visit The Jason Foundation at jasonfoundation.com to learn more. The Jason Foundation provides not only the free training for teachers but also a crisis line for kids as well as information for parents, coaches, and youth workers.

SEN. ROY BLUNT
What Others Are Saying... Stop The Rivalry A costly competition between Kansas and Missouri over hundreds of federal jobs is the height of foolishness, and it needs to end.
Guest Editorials Last week, the Department of Agriculture announced plans to move more than 500 jobs from Washington, D.C., to the Kansas City area. Many of the soon-to-bemoved employees are unhappy, and there is some political resistance. But in general, the move is good news — not every federal job belongs in the nation's capital. Where will the transferring employees report for work? No one is sure. "We don't know exactly whether it will be Missouri or Kansas at this point," Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told reporters. His ambivalence has apparently touched off a ridiculous but utterly predictable competition between the two states to land the jobs. As usual, taxpayers will pay the price. It's a horrible idea. Competing for private sector jobs with public money is bad enough, but using state funds to offer the federal government tax incentives essentially shifts public costs from the whole nation to taxpayers in just one state. Why is the USDA pitting the two states against each other? What difference does it make whether the federal government opts for office space in Kansas or Missouri? The transferring employees will find homes in both states, contributing taxes to both Topeka and Jefferson City. As Greg LeRoy, executive director of the watchdog group Good Jobs First, noted, the Department of Agriculture is acting like Amazon, staging a bidding war that puts pressure on state and local governments to offer more incentives. "This is an ugly, extreme version of Uncle Sam imitating Jeff Bezos. Yuck," he said. "If I were a Missouri or Kansas taxpayer, I would never stand for this." The expensive tug-of-war is about bragging rights and nothing more. It isn't as if the federal government is opening a new car factory. It's renting an office. The USDA's decision — made in consultation with the General Services Administration — should be based on cost, quality and convenience. The host state is largely meaningless. There are other reasons to be deeply suspicious of incentives for the USDA jobs. In his announcement, Secretary Perdue said state and local governments had offered $26 million in "generous relocation incentives packages," according to the news release. Pressed on the issue, Perdue would not say what the incentives are. Missouri and Kansas won't say, either. Kansas City is mum. The Kansas City Area Development Council also clammed up. Great. Not only is the region forking over money to the federal government, it's doing so in secret. Taxpayers are right to be befuddled over this. Didn't Missouri Gov. Mike Parson just sign a bill calling a truce in the border war? Didn't Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas agree to the truce and promise an executive order to halt unnecessary bistate competition? What, then, is this USDA fuss all about? The Department of Agriculture is not "an established company in Kansas City, Missouri," Kelly told reporters. "This is completely new and different. And Missouri's betting on that, too." Sorry, governor. There is nothing new or different
about a meaningless subsidy battle conducted in secret in the Kansas City area. We know from decades of experience that it's just a waste of time and money. The Department of Agriculture should pick the location that best fits its office needs. Pay a fair rent. Don't fan the flames of the border war. In return, we'll welcome your workers to our schools and parks and neighborhoods. We're confident they'll find the Kansas City region a great place to live. — Kansas City Star
Watching Prisoners, Budget You can’t blame corrections officers for displaying healthy skepticism about the pay boost provided to these law enforcement professionals who serve in the state prison system. Working in difficult conditions, sometimes inside the state’s maximum-security prisons, these officers must have long ago shed a sense of wide-eyed naiveté about lots of things, including promises from politicians. So when Gov. Mike Parson announces what the Department of Corrections called the biggest pay increase for prison workers in the state’s history, the officers aren’t off base in showing appreciation but also asking if the state will fix the systemic problems that caused chronic understaffing and low pay relative to other states. “Is it enough money to draw people in to work there? No, I’m not sure it is,” Gary Gross, with the Missouri Corrections Officers Association, told our reporter. The state got into this mess with a prison-building spree in the 1990s, part of the three-strikes-and-you’reout mentality of getting tough on crime. Understaffing became a statewide issue as the inmate population grew faster than the budget. In smaller towns like Cameron, the state found it especially difficult to hire enough employees for two prisons. The pendulum has now swung the other way, with states eager to save costs on incarceration and explore flexibility in sentencing. Some of the money for pay raises comes from the planned closing of the maximum-security Crossroads Correctional Center, but corrections officers are correct to ask if this comes at a steep cost. We all should be asking that question. Gross wants to make sure inmates aren’t moved to a lower security level simply to enable the money-saving consolidation, a move that could put inmates, workers and possibly the general public at risk. Buchanan County’s prosecutor has mentioned similar concerns about the tension between prosecutors who want to deter drug offenses and violent crime and politicians who are seeking cost savings. Local officials should be concerned as well, following news that Missouri remains millions of dollars behind on money owed for housing state prisoners at county jails, including more than $500,000 owed as of early this month to Buchanan County. The state should see late payments to counties, which house inmates before transfer to the state prison system, as part of the same problem. County jails, after all, also face their own issues with funding and staffing. A move to shore up funding for corrections workers is long overdue, but the initiative makes no sense if it comes at the expense of county-level employees or public safety. Corrections officers, and all local officials, are wise to keep a watchful eye on what happens down the road. — St. Joseph News-Press

We have enjoyed company the past couple of weekends. Friends and childhood friends and family have been to visit and attend the 150th June Meetin’ at the Shelburne Church. The celebration included several former pastors sharing their memory of their time at Shelburne. Many heartfelt moments were shared with a funny story of an antic or two that was pulled by various members. The portion that stood out to me was the repetition of how Christians from Shelburne have stood up for the Word of God and showed it through actions for many decades. I had the opportunity to see

several friends who have reminded me of 40-plus years ago. I have no idea how I've aged so and they haven't but, nonetheless, we visited and told stories and remembered a simpler time. I'm still smiling. Justin and Heidi Rice, Ava and James had college friends and their children come from Kansas to camp out at the pond and tell stories and fish and enjoy time together. I believe the get-together changed a great deal from just a few years ago without children. Makes a momma smile and shake her head. We enjoyed barbecue and homemade ice cream over cherry cobbler with Justin and Heidi's guests, Scott, Lindsey, Henry and Cora Warner of Lecompton, KS and Jake, Veronica and Clara DeSelms of Marion, KS.

Luanne Oneal Gives Program The Grand River Garden Club held its June 18 meeting at the home of Luanne Oneal to learn about raising bees and their benefits. Marilyn Bain was this month’s hostess and provided a light lunch for the members. Mrs. Oneal told members that her love of being outside and gardening led her to beekeeping. She attended meetings and training by Mid-Western Beekeeping. She said that bees came to America from Europe and southern Africa, with over 20,000 species. She stated they are a working community that relies on each other with each community made up of the queen, drones and workers. Bees keep their hives between 92 and 93 degrees. They are the only insects to produce food for mankind. She ended her program by presenting members with a bar of bee soap and entertaining them by playing her guitar and singing a song she wrote about “ The Rhythm of Life.� Vice President Diana Hoppe

Trenton FFA SAE Spotlight
Hometown Boy by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri
AGENCIES MOVING TO KANSAS CITY HELP MISSOURIANS CONTACT USDA
Teresa Yoder was an active FFA member all four years of high school. She was on the poultry, dairy cattle, meats and the ag sales contest teams. Teresa describes her FFA experience as a team builder, helping her gain the skills to work with others. She says FFA is like family to her. Teresa started working for Down to Earth Lawn Care the summer after her freshman year, mowing lawns, disposing of extra branches and cleaning up flower beds. At the beginning of her junior year, she began to raise and sell pygmy goats. The fall of her junior year, she and her mom purchased T.K’s Processing, which they own 50/50. Teresa plans on buying out her mom this fall when she gets back from basic training for the military. (Submitted by Ag Sales Student Trinity Gaunt).
Melea Farmer was the 2018-2019 chapter president. During her sophomore year she held a junior officer position as secretary. She was the chapter reporter as a junior. She has been very active in CDEs, participating in the knowledge, dairy foods, meats and ag sales teams. Melea has been raising pigs, cattle and horses on her family farm for the past 10 years. She also mows the cemetery at Salem Baptist Church with her dad. She helps with her mom’s business, Farmers Soapery, and works as a waitress at Washington Street. Melea plans on going to KCMCC as well as the School of Diagnostic Sonography to later become an ultrasound technician. (Submitted by Ag Sales Student Trinity Gaunt)

Stories this week told that the government can move. Two USDA agencies were told to leave Washington for Kansas City. Both connect to University of Missouri. This can be important to folks across the state, especially those using MU Extension. It’s a big deal. Two agencies bring some 600 jobs. They work in Economic Research Service and National Institute for Food and Agriculture. NIFA was relabeled taking Extension from the name. But, that’s our connection. NIFA sends federal dollars back to Missouri to support research and outreach MU has strong contacts in ERS through FAPRI. I’d written for MU Food and Agriculture Research Institute for years. Farmers using outlooks in marketing benefit from federal help. Missourians who work in food or agriculture have interest in these two agencies, even if they’ve never heard of them. I’d heard about a possible move long ago, but dismissed that as crazy. I’ve changed my mind. Of course, federal workers don’t like moving at all. It disrupts lives, families and careers. Many won’t move. That opens jobs nearby for our col-
lege grads. People who wouldn’t move to Washington might work locally. Gossip tells of some earlyretiring MU professors joining the Feds. Closeness strengthens our ties to ERS and NIFA. Federal News Service, a source for many of my insights, says there’ll be a $300 million savings. Rent and living costs are less here than in D.C. I never knew the intense campaign by Missourians and Kansans in seeking this move. Washington reports cite Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri and Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas for helping. I learned Sen. Roberts’ interest in FAPRI policy analysis. One morning, arriving at work on a federal holiday the senator called. He commented on my plain-talk news release about a FAPRI outlook we sent to Washington. It seems more than MU campaigned for the KC move. Missouri Farm Bureau lobbied hard along with commodity groups. Good for them. There’s a dark side to this story. A photo with a page-one story in the Kansas City Star showed federal workers standing with backs to the Secretary of Agriculture when he announced the move. The workers had just voted to unionize. Could the move
Farmers Get More Time In Fields
What To Do With Unplanted Fields Farmers considering “prevent plant� crop insurance payments face decisions on what to do with unplanted fields, says Rob Myers, a University of Missouri Extension agronomist. Many farmers will file for “prevent plant� crop insurance payments this year after record-setting May rainfall and flooding. Cover crops are one option. But Myers says there are nuances to complying with crop insurance regulations. “If fields are not planted to
their intended commodity, and a prevent plant insurance payment is collected, farmers then need to decide what to do with that field,� says Myers. He encourages farmers to plant something on those fields to suppress weeds, protect soil from erosion and maintain the soil biology. Cover crops have become much more common in Missouri, with 864,178 acres planted on more than 6,000 farm operations in 2017, according to the most recent USDA Census of Agriculture.

Normally, most Missouri cover crops are fall-planted, but this year Myers expects to see a large number of prevent plant fields with cover crops planted in midsummer. Farmers need to know the rules for federal crop insurance to decide on the best option for their operation. There are no crop insurance restrictions on the use of a cover crop this summer as long as it is not hayed or grazed. USDA Risk Management Agency rules prohibit haying or grazing cover crops until after Nov. 1 for full payment. A provision allows 35% payment on the prevent plant crop insurance if you wait to plant the cover crop for forage use after the late planting period for that commodity, he says. Myers also advises farmers to be aware of options for cover crop incentive payments from the Natural Resources Conservation Service or the Missouri Soil and Water Conservation Program.

On Saturday, June 14, the Trenton FFA Chapter held the event, Food for America. This event was at the Trenton Rissler Elementary School during summer school for all fourth graders. During this event, officers taught kids the five food groups and showed them where their food comes from. By doing this they made pizza with the kids and talked about where each ingredient came from. Also, the kids got to learn about the FFA, ag classes, etc. (Submitted by Chapter Reporter Camdyn Leeper )

The Trenton FFA Chapter held a petting zoo at Rissler Elementary School on June 14. Many FFA members presented animals from their SAE projects to the children attending summer school. While experiencing the animals, the students were able to learn about each animal from the FFA member stationed with it, along with reading posters that went along with the animal. The students really enjoyed having the opportunity to pet animals such as a horse, goat, calf and so much more. (Submitted by reporter Jaycie Griffin)

be retribution? Also some small farm groups protest the move as well. Maybe they recall our president’s earlier moves to cut agricultural help. Our leader said many times he doesn’t believe in science or analysis. He uses his own senses, he says. He sees no need for agency help. I hope Missouri farmers learn the value of federal funds in farm research. One example: Research and extension help herd owners make hundreds of dollars more. They enroll heifers in Show-Me-Select. There’s premium value in applied AI breeding research. I no longer keep close ties with federal information workers that I did early in my career. From them, I learned some of what I know of plain language. Maybe those people were downsized earlier. I hope having USDA workers close will improve communications. One story indicated that the new location will be just a few hundred miles from a dozen Land-Grant Universities. That makes sense, bringing government to the people. Some 135 places sought the agencies. One story said Kansas City had put up a $25 million incentive to sweeten their deal. No word yet on where the agencies will land on the Missouri or Kansas sides of the state line. This isn't a done deal, yet. Congress hasn’t approved the move or appropriated money. Knowing political deadlock grips Washington, we may not yet know the end of this story. Send ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

FINANCING THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS When we talk about Missouri’s state operating budget, we tend to focus on the three largest areas of spending: social services, education and transportation. But other parts of the budget are just as important. For example, consider the funding allocated to our state departments of Public Safety and Corrections. Though these two departments compromise only 5 percent of the state budget for the 2020 fiscal year, they are vital to keeping Missourians safe and secure. The Department of Public Safety oversees all state level law enforcement and public safety agencies, helping them coordinate with their local and federal counterparts whenever necessary. Some of these agencies include the Missouri National Guard, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Missouri Gaming Commission, the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the Missouri Capitol Police, the State Emergency Management Agency and the Division of Alco-
hol and Tobacco Control. Without the service of the hardworking men and women in these agencies, crime would skyrocket, roads would be less safe and disasters would be more deadly. The Department of Corrections supervises the state prison population, maintaining incarceration facilities, providing rehabilitative services and organizing programs for probation and parole. I’m happy to say that, in addition to providing pay increases for all state employees, the 2020 budget includes additional raises for corrections officers. This should help us retain our most talented employees, who do their best day in and day out to keep Missourians safe. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.
STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM
573-751-2917 2019 SESSION COMES TO A CLOSE The Missouri Legislature completed the 2019 session at 6 p.m. on May 17. A person today told me I couldn’t mess anything up now, we are not in session (I cleaned up the language a little). The first year of the 100th General Assembly seemed some what different than my first year in office. I believe with the change in leadership of both parties and 80 plus new people in the legislature, change was sometimes almost chaos. I was happy to be headed home at 6:05 p.m. and at 11 p.m. headed on my family fishing trip. My father started this trip in 1979, intermittently we went on a fishing trips to Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas or Canada. Several years ago, the trip became an annual trip with my family and a family friend. The trip is a great reminder that I’m Uncle Rusty and I do have to have breakfast ready—the sate representative title does not apply. During the last week of the session I voted on several things but two bills received the most

attention. The first of these two bills stopped the issuance of county health ordinances used to regulate animal production. The regulation of concentrated animal feeding operations would be controlled by the Department of Natural Resources. I voted for this bill. I had a few people from the Seventh District contact me concerning this bill. I also contacted a few people within the district. Livingston County and Linn County currently have health regulations. This bill will nullify those ordinances. These regulations began in the last half of the 1990’s. I believe the local officials that chose to use these types of regulations to limit CAFO growth felt these policies would protect our area from pollution and help promote the family farm. I believe the regulations
have not been positive for our area. I also believe the technology and production practices have changed in a very positive way. These changes have had a positive impact on reducing pollution caused by the confinement operations. The second bill that generated several local people contacting me personally and my office was the bill that placed more restrictions on abortion. The bill has restrictions stopping abortion as early as eight weeks (heartbeat). This bill also states that a physician shall not perform an abortion on a pregnant woman if a fetal heartbeat or brain function has been detected. The bill does include severability clauses. Also, no abortion will be able to be performed after the pain capable gestational age of 18 weeks. HB 126 also changes the laws regarding the parental notification required by minors wishing to obtain an abortion. This legislation also prohibits an abortion based upon sex or race preference or Down Syndrome. Many of you realize this legislation will more than likely spend time in our court system. After all the arguments have transpired, the judges will determine the final outcome. I voted yes on this bill as well. I listened to messages, read emails and texts from many constituents. This bill caused strong emotion from
many people requesting both a no or yes vote. A few of the representatives received threats to them or members of their family. have one person remind me I wanted this job and the chewings come with the job. That person is correct but, hopefully, none of my constituents hope harmful things are done to my wife and daughters. The people that know me realize that this would be the way I would vote on both of these bills. I had virtually zero contact from any lobbyist on either bill. I have been accused of “drinking the Kool-Aid.� I never liked Kool-Aid much and still don’t. I realize this can be both a negative as well as a positive, but I am kind of an independent thinker. The experiences I have had throughout my career and life contribute to my decisions and I try to listen to others much more than I talk to learn their perspective. At the conclusion I am the person making the vote and living with that decision. As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at the following: 573-751-2917; email, rusty.black@house.mo.gov; Twitter, @rep_rusty; Facebook: Rusty Black. My legislative director, Ashley Wright, or I will be happy to assist in any way that we can.

Dear Annie: I wanted to send you my observation about your advice and columns: You are outstanding! Your replies are heartfelt, and I feel your compassion. Thank you. -- A Friendly Reader Dear Friendly Reader: You made my day -- thank YOU! Dear Readers: Isn't it great when things go well in your life and you receive praise? We all feel terrific when that happens, like in the first letter today. However, that is a preamble to a major mistake I made, and I want to apologize for confusing Veterans Day and Memorial Day. More than a few readers chastised me, and I truly appreciate their correction. I promise to know the difference going forward. Here were two of the most heartfelt letters, which I thought you'd like to see: Dear Annie: This is in regard to the open letter you sent to your readers. While one SHOULD honor armed service men and women on Veterans Day, Memorial Day is NOT the day to do it. You must remember that many veterans are thinking about their fallen friends; it just makes them feel guilty that you are mentioning them on Memorial Day. Here's a possible letter that you could have sent: Dear Readers: This Memorial Day, let's all think about the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, keep their memories alive, and honor them on this solemn day of remembrance. My husband died while serving with NATO on active duty 10 years ago. Thank you! -- From Real-Life Experience Dear Annie: Thank you for taking time in your column to
thank all the men and women who are serving in the U.S. armed services. However, you should know the differences between Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military and is observed on the last Monday of May every year. Many Americans celebrate Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in local or national parades. It also unofficially marks the beginning of the summer season. Veterans Day is a federal holiday that honors the men and women who previously served in the U.S. Armed Forces and are still living, though many also celebrate for the deceased as well. The holiday falls on Nov. 11 of every year, commemorating the first anniversary of the end of World War I on Nov.11, 1918. Veterans Day is celebrated with parades and community gatherings as well, but most just enjoy the day off, and veterans get free food at participating restaurants. Armed Forces Day is not a federal holiday but is observed every third Saturday in May to honor active duty (current) service members. Armed Forces Day falls during Military Appreciation Month, joining Memorial Day and Military Spouse Appreciation Day. The holiday was created on Aug. 31,1949, by Defense Secretary Louis Johnson to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days and to unify the armed forces under one agency -- the Department of Defense. This day is for those who currently wear the uniform and serve

the country. -- A Proud Wife and Mom of Veterans Dear Real Life and Proud Wife and Mom: Thank you for enlightening all of us. We should honor our brave men and women in the armed forces, active and veterans, every day of the year. But it is helpful to know the differences between these special days, and your letters spelled them out beautifully. Dear Annie: In response to "Seeking Decorum": I have often traveled on airlines with a small dog. If one owner does not ensure that his animal is clean and well-behaved, it should not spoil it for all. It is heart-wrenching to leave an animal behind when out of the country for long periods of time. Many airlines are prejudiced against animals, and airlines who do allow them should not be discouraged by people who do not like dogs. Also, dogs do not get a free ride. It is very expensive to buy a ticket for an animal to ride underneath the seat ahead. And until better conditions are created, it is often unsafe for animals to ride in the cargo area. -- Animal Lover in Quebec Dear Animal Lover: I agree that traveling in cargo can be unsafe for pets. There have been a number of instances in which pets have tragically died when left on hot tarmacs while in their carriers awaiting loading. I hear and second your plea for more compassion toward those traveling with companion animals.

Top foreign holders of U.S. debt
The U.S. government’s total debt hit a record of $22 trillion earlier this year. With deficits projected to top $1 trillion annually in coming years, the national debt — the total of the annual deficits — is projected to keep growing. The total debt includes $16.2 trillion held by investors and $5.8 trillion the government owes to various trust funds including Social Security. Of the $16.2 trillion held by investors, 40% is held by foreign investors, led by China. The Chinese investment totaled $1.11 trillion in April,
down 5.8% from a year ago. Those holdings are being closely watched to see if the Chinese at some point decide to start dumping their holdings of U.S. Treasury debt in retaliation for the Trump administration’s get-tough trade policies. Meanwhile, Japan, the No. 2 foreign owner of U.S. government debt, has been increasing its holdings. The total foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities are up 4.1 percent over the past year. Here are foreign holdings for April, the latest available, compared to last April:
