Reports focusing on students highlighted the meeting of the North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees on Tuesday night.

Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley reported that preliminary enrollment numbers for the spring semester show head count up 1.7 percent (797 students) while credit hours are down 1.3 percent (9,218 hours). Dr. Alley anticipates numbers to improve before the start of spring classes in January.

President Dr. Lenny Klaver reported that the “No Fee November” project, allowing students to submit applications during the month of November at no cost, netted 86 more applications than during the same time a year ago. He called the push “a win” for NCMC as it got students to turn in their applications earlier and gives college staff a better idea of future student numbers.

Dr. Klaver also reported on the recent presidents and chancellors meeting, which focused on the community college request for equity funding from the legislature.

The administrators also developed a policy addressing service region boundaries and how disputes would be handled should two colleges want to service the same areas. It was noted that the policy requires that any school district can vote to annex themselves into a community college taxing district by a vote of the district’s school board, but that no community college board of trustees will propose to annex a school district outside their service region by voting to put the question before voters.

Among items acted on by the board, trustees accepted the retirement of Sharon Weiser, who currently serves as dean of extended campus, effective June 30, 2020. Dr. Weiser joined NCMC in 2014 as the dean of instruction, coming to NCMC from Missouri Valley College in Marshall. She also served as NCMC’s interim director of academic affairs prior to being named to her current position in 2017. As dean of extended campus, she has been in charge of NCMC’s North Belt Center in Andrew County.

In other personnel matters, the board approved the employment of Joshua Wilmes of Maryville as an exempt, adjunct instructor for military science courses beginning with the spring 2020 semester.

It was noted that Wilmes will not be paid by NCMC as this is a partnership with Northwest Missouri State University and the National Guard GOLD program.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Chillicothe Jamboree

Trenton Teams Get First Look At Jamboree High school sports jamborees are met with mixed reviews. Some like the glorified practice while others are less fond of the event. For Trenton, a school with a pair of new head coaches, the jamboree was an opportunity that could not be turned down.

Trenton traveled to Chillicothe on Tuesday night, mixing it up in sessions against the host Hornets and the Brookfield Bulldogs.

The Trenton boys, who enter the season with their first new head coach in 12 seasons, took advantage of the event as the Bulldogs continue to hunt for the right mix of players ahead of their season-opening game with East Buchanan tonight (Friday).

With his starting five on the floor together in the first of three quarters played

against Brookfield, Corbin Coe saw a lot of good things as Trenton took the frame 11-4. The score was reset at the onset of each of the three frames and Trenton was outscored 15-9 in the second quarter and 9-5 in the third as the Bulldogs worked through several different combinations of players. Jaren Whitney led Trenton in the opening session, scoring 12 points. Seven of Trenton’s eight varsity players found their way into the scorebook.

The second session pitted Trenton against Chillicothe. Trenton was outscored in all three quarters, falling 14-8, 16-2 and 18-7. Brycin Loyd’s nine points paced Trenton in the second session.

“I saw a lot of good things, especially things we have emphasized in practice,” Coe said of the jamboree. “It was good to see some live action. We will continue to

work and improve on the offensive and defensive ends.”

The Trenton girls, meanwhile, were a little slow out of the gate, dropping two of three quarters to Brookfield in the opening session. Trenton would bounce back, however, winning two quarters against Chillicothe and tying the third.

No scores of individual stats were available on the girls side.

“It felt great to get out there and learn about our team,” Coach Kameron Cool said. “We worked really hard, but definitely have work to do on both ends. Overall, we were very encouraged with how we played.”

Trenton and East Buchanan will tip off in Gower tonight as the season gets underway in earnest. The girls game begins at 6 p.m. with the boys contest to follow.

BROKEN RECORD Pirates Set Program Mark With 142 Points On Jan. 5, 2009, the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team ran up 130 points in a rout of the Graceland University junior varsity. At times on Tuesday, it looked like the Pirates might surpass that mark.

On Wednesday, they did.

A pair of junior varsity squads traveled to Trenton this week resulting in two big point totals for the Pirates and, more importantly, two victories.

NCMC defeated the Peru State College JV on Tuesday at the Ketcham Community Center, 106-80. On Wednesday, the Pirates routed the Kansas Christian College JV, setting the program record for points in a game with a 142-71 win.

“I was really impressed with our guys’ attitudes and efforts tonight,” North Central Head Coach Jeremy Esry said following his team’s record-setting performance. “The guys played for each other and were happy for their teammates’ accomplishments rather than worrying about their own individual goals. I thought we fought a little selfishly in our game Tuesday, but responded well to the challenge. It also didn’t hurt that our guys came out shooting it with confidence.”

The Pirates were the definition of unselfish in the big win, handing out 36 assists on the night. That mark was within two of the school record.

NCMC collected 38 assists in a win over the Ottawa University JV two seasons ago.

In addition to the singlegame point record falling, Jackson Andrews tied Cedric Ganaway for the school record for made three-pointers in a game. Andrews knocked down nine on Wednesday, equalling Ganaway’s career best from 2003.

Andrews finished with 31 points to pace the Pirates in the rout. Atavian Butler followed with 27 points and six re-

Atavian Butler passes the ball off during North Central’s 106-80 win over the Peru State College junior varsity on Tuesday night at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton. Butler had 23 points in that win and added 27 points in the Pirates’ 142-71 win over the Kansas Christian College junior varsity the following night.

bounds. Both players came off the bench in the game.

Jeramy Shaw led the North Central starters with 16 points and Demarius Houston and Jonathan Richmond each scored 14 points off the bench.

Quinan Rieves had 11 points and eight rebounds and Rayonte Childs handed out a teamhigh 10 assists.

The Pirates led the game 7125 at halftime before tacking on another 71 points in the second half.

In the win over Peru State, NCMC held a slim 50-43 lead at halftime before pulling away in the second half to take the game by the 26-point margin.

Butler had 23 points off the bench to led North Central and added eight rebounds and three assists. Damien Loyd had 21 points, five steals and four assists and Rieves had 10 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Andrews, Houston and TJ Babikir all had nine points each and Marty Jackson finished with eight.

The two wins vaulted the Pirates to 8-1 overall on the season.

North Central will no doubt have a tougher test on Saturday, when it plays host to Southeast Community College out of Beatrice, NE. The game follows a women’s contest between the two schools, which tips off at 2 p.m.

NCMC WOMEN While the Pirates were rolling up wins over overmatched JV squads, the North Central women were in a fight on Wednesday night against Southwestern Community College in Creston, IA. In the end, the result was the same - a win.

The Lady Pirates pulled out a 75-74 road win, holding on through some dicey times at the end.

North Central pushed its lead to 15 points midway through the third quarter, but went cold from that point. The host school rallied, cutting into the Pirate lead. Eventually the game was tied and the two squads traded the lead backand-forth in the final frame.

With eight seconds left, Lily Osborn broke a tie game with a dagger from beyond the arc to put NCMC in front again.

After fouling on the in-bounds with only two fouls on the board, Southwestern got behind the Pirate defense for a quick two. North Central was immediately fouled on the ensuing in-bounds play, but missed both free throws to give the home school on last opportunity with just under three seconds left. Southwestern turned the ball over on their last in-bounds play and North Central escaped town with the win.

The two missed free throws were an indictment of the night as the Pirates struggled from the charity stripe all night long.

In the end, however, it wasn’t enough to keep the Pirates out of the win column on this night.

Kortlyn Rounkles and Da’Briauna Bables led North Central, each scoring 18 points in the victory. Rounkles added seven assists while Bables pulled down nine rebounds.

The Pirates also got 16 points from Osborn and Kennedie Kieffer pulled down 12 rebounds.

With the win, the North Central women improved to 63 overall on the season.

NCMC HIGH SCHOOL HOLIDAY HOOPS

Holiday Hoops Seeks Volunteers High School Holiday Hoops 2019 will tip off in another month and, once again, an army of volunteers are needed in supporting roles for the on-going effectiveness of the big event.

Over 250 volunteers regularly assist in the multi-day event and nothing has changed as that number will be needed once again. Holiday Hoops Director Steve Maxey said volunteer roles to be filled include team hosts, clock operators, scorekeepers, general hospitality personnel and hosts at the front desk.

As in the past, numerous organizations and businesses have hosted specific days, allowing them to function at the front gate selling tickets and programs, Maxey said.

This year, more groups are becoming involved in this role, which allows for better management of this volunteer need.

Individuals wanting to assist with Holiday Hoops receive no compensation, but are presented with admission passes that allow them to attend any and all games when not working.

“This is the least we can do to thank the many volunteers who support the largest high school holiday basketball shoot-out in the state,” Maxey said.

Persons wanting to assist should forward their name, desired volunteer role and phone number or email address to Steve Maxey at 660-359-7244 or maxeysteve@gmail.com.

Persons wanting to become a team host can also contact Joel Hultman, chairman of team hosts, at 660-654-0540 or by emailing him at jhultman@trentonr9.k12.mo.us. Volunteers may contact NCMC Foundation Director Alicia Endicott at 660-357-6403 and share their interests.

Holiday Hoops 2019 will begin on Saturday, Dec. 14, with nearly 70 games being played at the Ketcham Community Center on the NCMC campus. The final games will be played on Tuesday, Dec. 31.

High School Holiday Hoops is sponsored by the North Central Missouri College Foundation.

Committee OKs Ceramic Tile The Utility Committee of the Trenton City Council took action on Tuesday night regarding floor work at the water treatment plant.

Committee members voted to use ceramic tile for the floor work, which is estimated to cost about $10,000 more than what had originally been estimated. However, the old tile floor was going to have to be sealed due to asbestos, which would have been an even more expensive option at $13,000 more than the project estimate.

The tile should be more durable and require less maintenance.

Action by the committee will not have to go to the city council for final approval. The work is scheduled to begin in January.

OP/ED

Five Points

by Wendell Lenhart

Events Keep Trenton Busy It was a busy past two weekends in Trenton and it was great to see all of the activity in and around town.

In addition to being the opening weekend of firearms deer season on Saturday, which brings a lot of people to town every year, there were also lots of things to do.

A dueling pianos musical program, sponsored by the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce, was held on Friday night, Nov. 8 at Black Silo Winery. There was a large crowd in attendance to enjoy the great entertainment.

Saturday, Nov. 16 brought the firstWendell Lenhart ever Sip and Stroll event to the downtown area, where persons could enjoy wine tasting at various businesses that were open throughout the area. Most of them were also offering samples of food.

All of the 150 tickets for the event were sold out in advance and many more interested persons had to be turned away. Crowds of persons walking throughout the downtown area brought back memories of days gone by when the downtown businesses stayed open late on Saturday night and lots of people came to town to do their weekly shopping.

All the participating businesses reported excellent customer traffic and good retail sales during the event, which was also helped by a perfect fall weather day.

Both Chumbley’s Bar and Grill and the Trenton Elks Club had good crowds after the Sip and Stroll ended.

Hopefully this event will become an annual fixture on the entertainment calendar since the response to the first one was so overwhelming. Hats off to all those who helped make it all happen.

There will be many more events happening at Trenton in the coming weeks with the start of the holiday season.

All are good entertainment for area residents and bring lots of people to our community. ##### This is the time most people begin their Christmas shopping and there are many great gift ideas that can be found locally.

The Green Hills Weekly this week had more than three pages of gift ideas that can be found in the surrounding area. Watch the shopper and the RepublicanTimes newspaper over the next several weeks leading up to Christmas for some great gift ideas that you can take home and wrap.

Images of the Capital Turkey and Her Family

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News For this Thanksgiving season, I have a story about some special summer visitors to our backyard not far from the statehouse.

They are Betsy and her two children.

Guest Editorial While just turkeys, they had a profound impact on my wife and me.

Lori named her Betsy because she reminded us of colonial times when Benjamin Franklin described the turkey as "a much more respectable Bird" than the bald eagle. Franklin capitalized "Bird" in his letter.

As Betsy and her chicks, properly termed poults, continued their visits to our backyard, we began to appreciate Franklin's portrayal.

Betsy is one of the most majestic, nearly fearless and proud birds we've seen.

Before getting to know Betsy, I thought of turkeys as just targets for hunters or something for me to smoke on Thanksgiving.

But from Betsy's regular appearances, I realized why Franklin was so impressed with these birds.

Betsy was attracted to our backyard by the corn kernels laying on the ground from a couple of squirrel corn feeders.

Squirrels eat only the best part of the corn kernel and then drop to the ground piles of partially eaten kernels.

By way of background, we've got a long history with squirrels. We even raised two abandoned baby squirrels, transitioning them back into the wild.

One of those squirrels was a surprise visitor to Missouri's Senate. But that's a story for another column.

Anyway, for most of the summer Betsy would appear with her two poults once or twice a day at nearly predictable times.

She became confident to approach the backyard patio when I offered a cob of uneaten corn.

I have no doubt Betsy would have pecked the corn cob in my hand. But as a creature of the wild, I did not want her to become too comfortable with humans. So I'd leave the cob in the grass.

Initially, her poults, were not so brave. They restricted themselves to the partially eaten corn kernels under the corn feeders further away from the patio.

As her poults grew to near-adult turkeys, their relationship with Betsy began to change.

They eventually joined Betsy in her corn-cob feast. At first, they joined Betsy only if the cob was far enough away from the patio and only after Betsy had spent time pecking away.

Later, they immediately would go to the corn cob when they entered our yard, regardless of its distance from the patio.

Finally, rather than Betsy deciding when it was time to depart, the two poults made the decision, with Betsy following behind.

Because the poults remained wary of humans, that made their visits to our backyard briefer.

Then, in late summer, their daily visits ceased.

While regretting her departure, we understood the seasonal patterns of wildlife.

Because their visits stopped before the fall turkey firearm hunting season, we were not particularly concerned. Besides, we live in Jefferson City where hunting is restricted severely.

Reading about turkeys, I learned that mother turkeys raise their poults away from the main flock and rejoin flocks only after their poults reach maturity.

By the final weeks of their visits, Bety's poults had grown so large it was difficult to distinguish them from Betsy at a distance.

An indication that she'd joined her flock was when a neighbor saw her with a group of other adult turkeys shortly after her last visit with us.

While saddened, my heart was warmed that by following her poults who never were as comfortable in our backyard as Betsy, she demonstrated a lesson I learned teaching younger journalists covering the statehouse -that eventually you need to let the new generation take the lead.

My wife and I hope Betsy returns to our backyard next summer to enjoy the copious kernels of corn dropped by the squirrels.

But if not, she's left a warm memory with us as well as a lesson of eventually letting a new generation take the lead.

So, thanks Betsy, for a Thanksgiving gift of memories we'll always treasure.

What Others Are Saying...

Duck Boat Ship Has Sailed The accident that didn’t have to happen on Table Rock Lake is going to happen again. Maybe not in Missouri, but somewhere, sometime, and to somebody else.

Guest Editorials That’s because no one — regulators, lawmakers, the industry — is being ordered to take the appropriate safety precautions.

Earlier this week the National Transportation Safety Board released its “Safety Recommendation Report” into the duck boat accident on Table Rock Lake in the summer of 2018. It was an accident that killed 17 people.

“Lives could have been saved, and the Stretch Duck 7 accident could have been prevented had previously issued safety recommendations been implemented,” NTSB Chairman Robert L. Sumwalt said in a statement.

“It is imperative that the United States Coast Guard adopt these life-saving recommendations now,” Sumwalt said.

If this sounds familiar it’s because 20 years earlier there was a similar accident in Arkansas in which 13 people died. There were investigations, recommendations, demands for change, etc.

Then crickets.

Nothing happened. Nothing changed.

Last week, Coast Guard Lt. Amy Midgett said they issued a guidance in 2000, following that NTSB recommendation, urging its inspectors and vessel owners to evaluate canopy design and installation and to “evaluate the design and installation of seats, deck rails, windshields, and windows as a system to ensure the overall arrangement did not restrict the ability of passengers to escape.”

Guidance ... urging ... evaluate ...

A toothless attitude didn’t get the job done then, and it won’t get the job done now.

The Coast Guard also said a review of amphibious vessel canopies is planned based on “the NTSB’s reissuance” of recommendations.

Again, review ... planned ... recommendations ...

It is way too little, way too late.

Readers who followed the Globe’s own investigation after the Table Rock Lake accident already know all of

this.

We reported then that the canopies on these boats are inherently unsafe and can function like a net, trapping passengers against the roof when they need to escape as the boats sink.

We noted then that duck boats, made of metal, have a heavy chassis and transmission, swamp easily and sink quickly.

We also reported then that the boats needed “reserve buoyancy,” such as foam or bulkheads, to help them stay afloat in adverse conditions.

Yet no one — regulators, lawmakers, the industry — learned lessons from what happened in 1999 and took appropriate steps. We don’t believe anything will change after 2018.

The time has come to ban these boats for commercial and passenger use. As we argued then, surely, in the nearly 80 years since these boats were built for World War II cargo — cargo — better technologies and better designs are available if we want to continue using amphibious vehicles for recreational travel.

But as for this technology and this design ... that ship has sailed.

Five agriculture students from North Central Missouri College participated in the Missouri Postsecondary Agriculture Student Organization State Conference on Nov. 10-12 in Linn.

Approximately 100 students, advisors, and guests from seven Missouri community colleges and universities participated in the conference. The NCMC group had the opportunity to travel to the old Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City, MO for a tour of Missouri history. Students were also hosted to a barbecue supper at the Missouri Farm Bureau headquarters, where they heard from keynote speaker Dr. Don Claycomb, retired president of State Technical College and former Trenton Junior College Ag Instructor, who spoke about the beginning of the community college agriculture programs as well as the history of the Missouri PAS organization. Attending were, from left, Bethanie Bailey of Gallatin, Morrissa Henley of Mercer, Calvin Basham of Cowgill (who was elected 2020-21 PAS president), Jaylen Broyles of Hale and Payden Gibson of Trenton. Basham qualified for the national conference in two categories, finishing second at state in Horticulture, Enviromental and Natural Resource Systems (career planning) and Forestry and Natural Resources (employment interview). Miss Broyles placed second in Ruminant Animal Systems (career planning) and was also a national qualifier along with Miss Gibson, who was second in Agricultural Education Systems (career progress). In specialist contests, Basham was first in impromptu speaking, crops and soils; Miss Henley was first in animal health vet tech; and Miss Bailey was fifth in floriculture.

The Trenton FFA Chapter attended the 2019 FFA National Convention and Expo in Indianapolis, IN. The group of members left the school early on Oct. 29. The group met up with two other chapters and made a pit stop at the caves in Hannibal. While in Hannibal, the group got to hike through a cave and sift through dirt to find different types of rocks naturally found in the cave. The first day was all travel. On day two, the weather was not ideal as it was very rainy. The FFA members went to Ozark Fishery and the Blue Room.

After visiting these places, the group attended the first opening session. The midwest vice president was the speaker for this session and all members had a good time. To finish the night, the group went to the Old Dominion Concert. On the third day, the FFA members went to the national convention career show and the second general session. The Trenton FFA was awarded the 3 Star Chapter Award on stage. Members also attended a hypnotist show. The last day was full of traveling home. All FFA members had a great time meeting new people and expanding their FFA knowledge. (Submitted by Reporter Jaycie Griffin)

On Nov. 8, the Trenton FFA hosted the middle school barnwarming from 7 to 9 p.m. All seventh and eighth graders were welcomed to attend this event. There were around 87 middle schoolers attending. To break up the dancing the officer team planned games for the middle schoolers to play. The first game was tug of war. The students all had a fun time playing this game and got very competitive. The second game played was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ships and Sailors.â&#x20AC;? Most of the middle schoolers had never played this game, but decided to learn and had fun competing against one another. All of the students seemed to have a great time. (Submitted by reporter Jaycie Griffin)

SHOP LOCALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR The start of the holiday season also signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

We are constantly bombarded with advertisements, this sale and that sale, and the convenience of shopping online. But, there is something much more convenient than the Internet, and it is in our own backyard.

We are blessed with many great, local retailers here in northwest Missouri. These are our friends, family members and people we know, right here in our own local communities.

They have taken the risks of opening businesses and found whatever level of success they currently enjoy. While some people open their laptops or pull out their phones to make a purchase, the rest of us make a short trip to see someone down the street and get individualized and personalized service we cannot find anywhere else.

This concept of shopping locally has been taken a step further by our lieutenant governor,

who promotes a program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buy Missouri.â&#x20AC;? This is an economic development initiative that actively promotes the Show-Me State to other states, and the world, the products that are grown, manufactured, processed and/or made in Missouri. It is also a great way to see a lot of businesses that exist in our state.

With so many great people and an abundance of buying options, there is no reason to stay at home and let a website take your order, in the hopes they get it right. People feel better knowing their hard-earned dollars are staying in their own community, and will benefit everybody, when they shop locally.

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 address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, the following deadlines for classifieds will apply: For the Friday, November 29 paper, the deadline will be

Tuesday, November 26 at 10 a.m.

For the Tuesday, December 3 paper and the Wednesday, December 4 shopper, the deadline will be

I really don't want to get in their faces and beg them to help.

Maybe someone will see themselves in this letter.

Help, please... before the holidays! -- Suds to My Elbows Dear Sudsy Elbows: In an ideal world, your family members would have enough manners to offer you help with cleanup after holiday dinners.

Unfortunately, we live in the real world, and you'll need to ask them for help if you want it.

A simple "Would you please help me with the dishes?" will do.

Maybe Santa will bring them some manners and next year you won't have to ask.

Dear Annie: I read with great interest the letter from "Grandma Blindsided by Mental Health Issue," whose adult daughter has Contamination OCD. For four debilitating

Dear Annie: With the holidays coming up, and people going here and there for dinner at others' houses, I would like to know why some people feel they can just sit on their butts after the big meal (or before), while the others, always the same ones, get up and clean up!

Don't the ones who don't offer to help realize how exhausting it can be -- the days and weeks that go into planning, making lists, shopping for groceries, prepping, cooking, cleaning the house, etc. I have a large family and was taught by age 8 that helping out is just the right thing to do. If I didn't get up and help, I would have been scolded. I'm 65 now and still recognize the need to help.

I have many sisters-in-law, but one in particular, a professional, has helped one time (that I can remember) with the dishes after the meal. All she wants to do is sit there and talk about how she is putting her kids through college, what college they are going to, and on and on about her kids. Another sisterin-law is just lazy.

Most people know that after the meal, there are not only the

years, I suffered from this (also referred to as mysophobia).

I lost practically everyone in my family (and so many friends) because my OCD behaviors were so annoying. I had been put on so many different meds because my doctors wanted me to be free of my obsession with germs. But the meds didn't work. It turned out that my OCD was caused by a massive brain tumor (benign meningioma).

When the tumor was finally removed, I was free of the OCD behaviors.

In any case, there are millions of Americans with this OCD behavior who, of course, do not have a brain tumor. I am writing to you to share some insights with them, about what kept me going when I was out of my mind and only thought about germs: 1) I saw a psychologist who helped me by not judging me, and 2) I prayed to God every single day that one day my fear would be overcome.

There is light at the end of this dark tunnel when help is received. -- Janet Johnson Schliff Dear Janet: Thank you for your hopeful testimony. And though it was not your primary purpose for writing, your letter is also a wake-up call that such sudden changes in behavior can indicate underlying neurological issues.

Hey, big spenders Fast-growing companies are used to spending lots of money to attract more customers. But the ride-hailing services Uber and Lyft will need to find a cheaper way if they’re going to live up to their pledge to eventually make money.

Discounts and other promotions the companies are offering to hook new riders represent a big reason they both face multibillion-dollar losses this year.

Those huge losses are driving away investors. The stocks of both Uber and Lyft

have fallen by about 40% since they went public earlier this year.

In its most recent quarter, Uber lost an average of about $290 on each new rider, while Lyft lost average of about $940 per new rider, according Cascend Securities.

Uber and Lyft will need to figure out how to mimic Spotify, whose music-streaming app has become a smartphone staple. Spotify loses far less on each subscriber, and even managed to post a small profit per new customer in its most recent quarter.
