Soccer Stars Get Field Use Approval
Sales Tax Drop Results In Deficit Budget OK Noting that sales tax revenue is down and the cost of doing business is going up, the Trenton Park Board approved a budget Wednesday evening that contains few frills. With a projected decrease of around $25,000 in sales tax revenue, the board approved a budget that shows total revenues of $555,320 and total expenditures (park department and aquatic center combined) of $565,716 for a projected deficit of $10,396. The park department had a fund balance of $257,162 as of Jan. 15. On the revenue side of the budget, the largest amount of income will come from sales tax, $345,000, while another $91,000 is projected to come from the ad valorem tax on real estate. Pool receipts are being projected at $60,000 with pool concessions expected to bring in another $12,000 and ballfield conces-

sions listed at $11,500. A transfer from the Frey Fund is listed at $12,120 (to be used to construct a pickleball court at Moberly Park), while smaller amounts are budgeted from ball park user fees ($4,300); Rock Barn rental fees ($2,500); shelter house rent, ($2,400); interest income ($2,750); tree/bench memorials ($750); equipment sale income ($5,500); and miscellaneous income ($5,500). On the expense side, the driving force behind the numbers is the cost of operating the parks and the cost of paying part-time employees who received raises due to the increase in minimum wage. While the board approved 25cent per hour pay increases for full-time employees (the same amount being proposed for other city employees), the exact pay rates for part-time

employees isn’t yet known. It was noted that the minimum wage increase may mean employees who have been with the department or aquatic center longer would be making the same as a new employee since raises for longevity might not be possible with the new minimum wage. It is estimated that there will be an $8,000 increase in aquatic center part-time pay, from $52,000 to $60,000. Capital projects in the amount of $32,500 are included in the budget, with the largest being the cost of the pickleball court. The other projects listed for the park system are estimated at $2,000 or less, with the exception of a $10,000 repayment of funds to the Ebbe Fund. The budget also includes $11,500 for a new mower, with that piece of See Park, Page 3

discussions are already under way with representatives from the district’s bonding company, George K. Baum, to move forward on the project. During either the May or June board meeting, officials from the bonding company will recommend the board approve a resolution that will allow the sale of bonds to begin. It is anticipated the $7 million will be generated by either July or August, with the funds to be deposited into the district’s capital projects fund (Fund 4). While work is under way on the funding portion, district officials will meet with architects from Ellison-Auxier to complete the final project plans. Administrators and staff will be meeting with the architects to determine what the final project will look like and once the plan is complete, the district will be working with a general contractor and construction will begin.

APRIL 2 ELECTION
Trenton Council Has Three New Members
City Has New Mayor; R-9 Levy Passes There’s a new mayor in town. Linda Crooks was elected mayor of Trenton on Tuesday, April 2 from among a four-candidate field. She was the top votegetter in all four city wards as well as absentees. Ms. Crooks received 802 votes to best incumbent mayor, Dr. Nick McHargue, Rocky Dunkin and Larry Porter. Dr. McHargue collected 360 votes while Dunkin received 130 votes. Porter finished with 60 votes. There will also be three new members joining the city council. First ward councilman Glen Briggs was re-elected for another two-year term, defeating Kenny Weaver 157-119. Newlyelected council members include Danny Brewer in the second ward, who defeated Robert Romesburg, 185-84; Cathie Smith in the third ward, who defeated Harry Kately, 247-78; and John Dolan in the fourth ward, who defeated Jim Bush, 297-146. Ms. Crooks, along with Briggs, Brewer, Mrs. Smith and Dolan, will be

National Weather Service There’s a chance of rain off and on through the weekend with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 40s. The high on Monday, April 1 at Trenton was 57, Tuesday’s high was 71 and Wednesday’s high was 60. The overnight low on Wednesday was 43. A total of .10 of an inch of rain was recorded in that time period. There was no report from the Government Weather Station near Spickard.
Now that Trenton R-9 School District voters have approved continuation of its 90-cent debt service levy for another 20 years, school officials are getting to work on the final plan for what patrons will be getting for their money. On Tuesday, R-9 voters overwhelmingly approved a proposal to continue the 90-cent debt service levy to allow the district to borrow up to $7 million for a project that was promoted as “making students safe.” A 57.14 percent approval was needed for the issue to pass. Voters gave a 71.4 percent nod to the proposal, which saw 1,154 persons in favor while 462 were opposed. The construction project will include construction of a performing arts center/hallway system at the high school/middle school campus, improvements to the high school/middle school media center, a redesign of the entryway at Rissler Elementary School and a new concession stand/restroom facilities at C.F. Russell Stadium. Superintendent Dan Wiebers said

Trenton Tennis Nets Two Sweeps Three duals into the 2019 season and there is no slowing down the Trenton High School boys tennis team. The Bulldogs had no trouble dispatching of Benton and Carrollton this week, reeling off back-toback 9-0 victories on Monday and Tuesday. vs. BENTON On Monday, Trenton played host to the Benton Cardinals at the THS tennis courts and scored the first of their shutouts. Trenton dominated the visiting Cardinals from the beginning on and scored 8-0 victories in seven of the nine matches. Nick Shields and Creed Houghton picked up an 8-0 doubles victory to get the ball rolling and Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott won their doubles match 8-0 as well. Isaac Harris and Weston Otto combined for an 8-3 doubles win to give Tren-
ton the 3-0 edge heading into singles play. Singles action closely mirrored doubles play as Trenton continued to run away with matches. Shields, Swann, Houghton, Elliott and Otto all scored 8-0 wins in their singles matches and Harris closed out the sweep with an 8-2 victory. “From the very start of the dual, our boys set the tone of the matches and maintained it all the way,” Trenton Coach Dave Sager said. “Another nice win for our program.” vs. CARROLLTON Trenton traveled to Carrollton on Tuesday and dished out another shutout. This time the Bulldogs scored four wins by 80 marks, two of which came right off the bat in doubles play. Swann and Elliott and Harris and Otto each scored 8-0 wins while Shields and Houghton picked up an

8-4 win. In singles play, Shields and Swann netted 8-0 wins at number one and two respectively. Houghton followed with an 8-3 win and Elliott won by an 8-2 margin. Harris won 8-1 at number five and Otto closed out the dual with an 8-3 win. “It was a very dominant showing by our team today,” Sager said. “It is great when a team can take the winning momentum they started at home and continue it on the road. We have another road dual this week, the rescheduled dual with LeBlond for Friday, so we want to make sure we are ready for one of our tennis rivals.” With the two victories, the Bulldogs moved to 3-0 overall on the season. Trenton will return to the courts on Friday, traveling to St. Joseph for a make-up dual with LeBlond at 4 p.m.
Trenton Bulldogs 7, King City Wildkats 6
’Dogs Walk Off On Wild Pitch, Win 7-6 Standing 90 feet from home plate, Sam Schilling eyed the King City pitcher. He took his lead off of third base, then another step, then another. When the pitch skipped past the opposing catcher, Schilling bolted for home. In a game tied at 6-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Schilling’s run was decisive. The Trenton High School baseball team defeated King City 7-6 on Monday at Burleigh Grimes Field, taking advantage of Wildkat pitchers who struggled with the strike zone all day. King City pitchers issued 11 walks in the game and served up three wild pitches. The final one cost them a chance at extra innings. “Sam, on third, got a good lead,” Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. “We talk about it, but I’m not a guy who wants to tell them exactly what to do all the time. I want them to use their baseball instincts. So when Sam saw the ball in the dirt, he didn’t hesitate. He was safe by three feet.” Trenton and King City traded runs early with the Bulldogs scoring a single run in the bottom of the first and second innings and King City answering each time with runs of their own in the top of the second and third frames. Trenton regained the lead in the fifth with another single run, but King City broke out in a big way in the sixth, plating three runs to take a 5-3 advantage. Down to its final six outs, Trenton responded by tallying a three-run sixth of its own to again take the one-run advantage. When King City scored to tie the game in the top of the seventh, Trenton came to the plate needing one run to take the game. Schilling and Quincy Griffin both reached to start the inning and the two advanced to third and second on a sacrifice fly. That set up Schilling’s dash home to win the game. Trenton was outhit by King City in the game, 11-3, but the Bulldogs took advantage of the little things to reach their

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF Richmond Tri/Brookfield Dual
Season Gets Under Way For Trenton Golf Team The Trenton High School golf team was in action on Monday and Tuesday, getting the 2019 campaign officially kicked off. Trenton was in triangular action in Richmond on Monday and traveled to Brookfield for a dual on Tuesday. The Bulldogs were unable to post a win at either event, shooting a 279 on Monday, falling to Lawson (195) and host Richmond (196), and failing to post a team score on Tuesday with only three golfers making the trip to Brookfield. Trenton was led on Monday by a 65 from Gavin Roeder.
Trenton also got a 70 from Brycin Loyd and Juan Garcia and Jake McNabb rounded out the team total with twin 72s. Only Roeder, Loyd and McNabb made the trip to Brookfield, meaning Trenton was unable to post a team score to compare with Brookfield’s mark of 203. Trenton did see its scores improve, however, as Roeder finished with a 62, while McNabb and Loyd posted scores of 65 and 68, respectively. Trenton (0-3) competed at the Darren Floyd Memorial at Tiffany Greens in Kansas City on Thursday and travels to Carrollton on Friday.

game-winning total of seven runs. In addition to the 11 free passes, Trenton put another runner on base when Tanner Lynch was hit by a pitch. The Bulldogs stole six bases and used multiple sacrifice bunts and flies to move runners. “What I personally enjoy are little things like when guys don’t just aim for the base hit and strike out,” Hultman said. “The guys are bunting, hitting sac flies to sacrifice for their team so that we can win. That’s big for me.” Lynch wound up being the winning pitcher, throwing the final one and two-thirds innings. He allowed a single run on one hit and one walk while striking out three. The win evened Lynch’s record at 1-1 on the year. Trenton used both of its starting pitchers in the game as Schilling started and threw two innings and Chase Otto also fired two frames. Both pitchers threw just 55 pitches, however, meaning they will both be eligible for Thursday’s game against Braymer. The win moved Trenton to 2-3 overall on the season and

Sundays in June. As has been the agreement for the past several years, the Soccer Stars will provide the paint and the park department will line the fields. The need to get the goals painted was discussed, with the two women noting the goals belong to the Green Hills Soccer Club and efforts are under way to get them painted. Shuler gave his monthly report, noting that the Trenton High School baseball team and the North Central Missouri College ball teams are playing on the fields. He said the renovation of the restrooms at
Burleigh Grimes Field is nearing completion and the rewiring of the concession stand/press box is needed. Ballfields are ready to go for the Green Hills Recreation Association summer teams.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR P.O. Box 548 Trenton, MO 64683
by Wendell Lenhart
The Republican-Times welcomes letters from its readers. We require that all letters to the editor be signed by the writer, including a telephone number where the writer can be reached. The writer’s name will be published. Subject matter of the letters is limited to issues and matters of local interest to the general public.

The publisher reserves the right to reject any letter submitted for publication.
Election Results Pay Dividends In one of the more contested municipal elections in recent years, Trenton voters elected a new mayor, Linda Crooks, from a field of four candidates and elected three new council members in an election that saw races in all four wards. It was good to see so many persons willing to serve their community and offering voters a chance to pick a candidate that most closely matched their views. The most far-reaching result of the election was the approval of the continuation of the debt service levy for Wendell Lenhart the Trenton R-9 School District. This “no tax increase” bond issue allows the district to continue the levy that was used to build the middle school and use it to make some needed improvements to buildings within the district. The biggest one of these will be the construction of a performing arts center on the high school/middle school campus that will also connect the ag building and band room with the rest of the high school and middle school. It will improve safety and keep students from having to go outside to attend classes in those buildings. And with the recent discussion and interest in reviving fine arts in the community, the timing couldn’t have been better. I congratulate the patrons of the R-9 District for having the vision to continue the levy and allow these improvements to be made at a time when many school districts struggle to maintain their facilities. This will pay dividends for many years down the road and help attract individuals and businesses to our community when they see how well we support our children and schools. Many people look at that when they are deciding on a future for themselves or their business. We have cleared some major hurdles in the last year with the purchase of the ConAgra plant by Nestle and I think we’ve turned a corner in the community’s future. Although we’ve suffered some disappointments with some of our retail businesses, and most of that was due to factors beyond our local control, these are the kind of positive signs that will help us attract new ones to our community in the future.

Full Time Phelps by Phill Brooks, Director, Missouri Digital News This spring Missouri lost a man who played a leading role in changing the powers of the lieutenant governor. Bill Phelps who died in March, got the nickname "full time" because the central theme of his 1972 campaign for lieutenant governor was to work full time. The prior lieutenant governor treated it as a part-time job. There's really not much for a lieutenant governor to do except to be prepared to take over in case of disability or death of the governor. While Missouri's Constitution gives the lieutenant governor some limited Senate tasks, they don't amount to much. The lieutenant governor can cast the deciding vote to break a tie and can participate in debates when the Senate meets as a committee of the whole. But tie votes and committee-of-the-whole sessions are rare. Finally, the state Constitution makes the lieutenant governor the "ex officio president" of the Senate. But that does not mean much either. Decades ago, Senate rules stripped the lieutenant governor from any real executive powers in the chamber such as assigning bills to committee. In the face of the Senate's clear desire to control its own affairs, lieutenant governors limited their appearances in the Senate, usually just opening the day's session and then quietly departing. But that changed when Republican Phelps sought to be a fulltime presiding officer over the Democratic-controlled Senate. It came to a head in 1973. When the Senate returned from a lunch break, Phelps discovered that Senate President Pro Tem Bill Cason, D-Clinton, had ordered staff to block the lieutenant governor from access to the chamber. Only senators, staff and reporters were allowed to enter. Because Cason refused to leave the chamber to explain his action to reporters, I decided to let nature take its course. Sure enough, Cason eventually left the chamber to relieve himself in the Senate's adjoining restroom. Cason readily agreed to my restroom broadcast interview as he stood next to a urinal defending Senate prerogatives to control its own business.
Also that day, Phelps filed a petition with the Missouri Supreme Court seeking access to the chamber so he could preside. He ultimately won. In a decision delivered the following year, the court upheld that he was the Senate's presiding officer. But the court did not define what powers he had as a presiding officer. Phelps sought clarification, despite advice from senior Republican senators to just declare victory. As his colleagues warned, the court subsequently upheld Senate rules that restricted his powers. Seventeen years later, the Supreme Court struck another blow to the lieutenant governor's powers. The court's decision involved the consitiutional provision that: "On the failure to qualify, absence from the state or other disability of the governor, the powers, duties and emoluments of the governor shall devolve upon the lieutenant governor." Before the court were conflicting gubernatorial documents and appointments signed by both Democratic Lt. Gov. Mel Carnahan and Republican Gov. John Ashcroft while he was out of the state. In a unanimous decision, the court concluded that the provision disqualifying a governor went back more than a century when instant communication from another state was not possible and, thus, a disability to govern. Essentially, the court nullfied the consitutional provision because modern communications technologies no longer make being outof-state a governing disability. But before this case, I got a very different explanation for that provision from Sen. Richard Webster, R-Carthage. Webster said a member of the constitutional convention that wrote the state's current constitution in the 1940s told him the real objective for stripping the governor's powers and salary while out of the state was to impose a penalty for leaving Missouri. Webster said he told him there was frustration at the growing number of national and regional organizations holding meetings outside Missouri that governors were attending. In fact, the 1990 two-week state absence of Ashcroft that was the subject of the Supreme Court case included attending a meeting of the National Governor's Association.

Nutrition Facts Label By your Hy-Vee registered dietitian, Cindy Eivins, MS, RDN, LD, CDE Did you know the nutrition facts label is changing? The new label will make it easier for consumers to make better informed food choices. It is already appearing on packages even before it is required to be used. Large manufacturers must switch to the new label by January 1, 2020; Changes include increasing the type size for “Calories,” “servings per container,” and the “Serving size” wording, and bolding the number of calories and the “Serving size” wording to highlight this information. “Added sugars,” in grams and as percent Daily Value, will be included on the label. Knowing the facts about what you put in your mouth is a key step to healthy eating. Reading nutrition labels can help you make wise food choices. Reading food labels is especially important if you have health conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and need to follow a special diet. It also makes it easier to compare similar foods to see which is a healthier choice. The more practice you get reading food labels, the better you can become in using them as a tool to ensure you are eating a healthy, balanced diet. Strive for a diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products. Include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, and nuts. As you use the Nutrition Facts Label, check the Serving Size, Percent Daily Value, and Nutrients. Serving size is the key to the rest of the information on the Nutrition Facts Label. According to the FDA, you should look for nutrients you want, such as fiber, to represent 20% Daily Value or more, and nutrients you should limit, such as fat, to represent 5% or less. Remember that Daily Value is based on 2,000 calories a day, not just one meal. In general a diet containing 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day is what is recommend for most women trying to lose weight and a diet containing between 1,200 and 1,600 should be chosen for most men trying to lose weight. If you still have questions about what’s in your food, look at the ingredient list. . Ingredients are listed in descending order of weight (from most to least). The first two or three ingredients are the ones that matter most. Ingredients at the bottom of the list may appear in only very tiny amounts." Some foods are laced with dozens of ingredients with complicated names that sound like they belong in a chemistry lab, not on your plate. Ingredient lists are a good way to know exactly what packaged food contains.

Hometown Boy by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri
OCEANS OF MOISTURE IN CLOUDS FALLS TO EARTH, CAUSING FLOODS Videos show flood water flowing down the Platte River from Nebraska into the Missouri River. There are still snowbanks further north adding to the flood. Photos show bridges, vehicles and roads swept away. We see the impact of millions of tons of moving water rushing our way. Floods have huge power. All of that water flows downhill. Now, ask yourself: How did that water get up there? The flood of 1993 taught me to think about the dependence of farming on climate. In that wet year, we had weather similar to now. Vast amounts of water were picked up from the Gulf of Mexico and carried to the upper Midwest. When warm wet air hit cold Arctic air coming south, the air lost carrying capacity. Water dropped from the sky. In the 1993 weekly teleconferences our Extension climatologist explained that an ocean of water was flowing north over Missouri. It then fell to earth and run back to the Gulf, from which it came. Early this winter, I saw that again. I’m a sky watcher at bed time and in early morning
dark. It used to see constellation Orion pointing to Sirius, the brightest star in the southern sky. Not this winter, as clouds blocked the view. That told me an ocean of water was flowing north in the sky. Back in 1993, my mostused flood story started with a paragraph about an ocean of water in the air. That lede caught attention. This year water laden air was more than the ocean of air seen in 1993. The oceans warmed since then. Warm water evaporates faster. That’s how water gets picked up into the atmosphere. This week I visited Jim Crawford at MU Graves-Chapple research farm on I-29 near the Missouri River. Flood water covers the lower plots on that farm. There won’t be as much research this year. Jim says there are 30 breaks in the levees. This flood was higher than in 1993 and 2011. Maybe we should build infrastructure to hold rising rivers that come with warming of the oceans. There’s lots of snow still melting. The weather bureau 30-day forecast says that same area will get more rain

than usual. Floods continue. As Jim Crawford notes those levee breaks won’t be fixed soon. “The spring rise is not here yet.� It’s not just the research farm in danger. Millions of acres of corn and bean fields are lost. I’m not sure the early planting intention reports mean much this season. Delayed or not planting affects our farm economy. Here in the Midwest the farm economy leads the general economy. There are economic cycles and there are weather cycles. The weather changes have gone on for millions and millions of years. Most know that there was an ice age. That dug holes that became the Great Lakes. The soil from that area landed over the northern Corn Belt including Iowa, northern Illinois and North Missouri. Climate determined agriculture areas from the beginning. Many don’t know there were four ice ages before this last one. We’ve been in a warming phase a long time. What’s different this time is we’ve released so much carbon dioxide into the air that adds to our current warming. Our President said last week, wind power won't work. “The wind doesn’t blow all the time.� He doesn’t get out here often or very long. I felt a lot more wind this winter. Energy released into the atmosphere drives the winds. Every time I start my car, I add to that energy. Send ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com.
FFA Scholarships Awarded In Honor Of Trenton Area Residents Lewis Lynch, Gene Knapp and Ann Brinser Honored In Tollhouse, CA Three heroes from the Trenton area were recently honored through scholarships awarded to members of the Sierra FFA Chapter in Tollhouse, CA. Lewis Lynch, Gene Knapp and Ann Brinser were recognized for the impact their lives have had on their communities. Burleigh and Doris Wheeler of Osceola were also recognized. The Local Hero Scholarships were designed to provide financial support for the recipients to attend the California State FFA Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA on April 24-28 while sharing the legacy of these great people. The scholarships were established by a Trenton resident and former member of the Trenton FFA chapter who now resides in California but wishes to remain anonymous. Receiving the awards were Becca Moore, the Lewis Lynch Hero Scholarship (Neighboring); Jayden Baker, the Gene Knapp Hero Scholarship (Developing Character); Kierra Haberlien, the Ann Brinser Hero Scholarship (Building Other’s Dreams); and Justin Coburn, the Doris and Burleigh Wheeler Hero Scholarship (Hospitality). At the scholarship ceremony in Tollhouse, CA, the scholarships honoring Lynch, Knapp and Mrs. Brinser were each accompanied by the following introductions: “Lewis Lynch was a hero in so many ways; World War II veteran, a pillar at Honey Creek Chapel Church, and an example to every father. This scholarship is to honor his memory as a neighbor who was never too busy to help. Lewis worked all day as an appliance repairman and ranched late into the night except on Sundays. He worked as hard as anyone in the Grundy Center, Missouri community. What is amazing was any time a neighbor was in need Lewis would show up in his old beat-up truck with his skinny old cow pony in the back. He would jump in and help until the neighbor was

taken care of and then quietly slip off to check his cows, bale some hay, or fix a water gap. Lewis will always be a hero to those who knew him. (Incidentally Lewis was the father-in-law of Dr. Steve Brown, National FFA Advisor.)� “Gene Knapp is a man whose life has been well lived. Gene owned the local garage and salvage yard in his community for decades. Knapp’s was always the place you went when you couldn’t find that one piece for an old twoton truck or if you needed to borrow a tool that you only needed to use once and didn’t want to or couldn’t afford to buy. But what Gene did for his community, was he raised boys; his own and a whole bunch of others. Whether encouraging members of the football team, providing a place for the hotrod crowd to hang, or just making a normal kid feel a little bit special, Gene was always there. Giving of hmself and expecting nothing in return. This scholarship honors his selflessness in helping good boys become great men.� “To appreciate Ann Brinser, you have to know her. Many of us have made an impact on a few people in our life, Ann has impacted thousands. From a Rock Island Railroad family, Ann used her gift of music to lift others up and help them dream bigger than they ever imagined. While the greatest number of kids she influenced was through her position as high school chorus director at Trenton High School (Missouri), this scholarship is to honor her impact on FFA members across the nation. She was an active parent in the Trenton FFA Alumni Association, Director of Missouri State FFA Choir, and accompanied the Goatropers Gospel Quartet at the National FFA Convention Talent Program in 1981. Evidence of her amazing ability to touch people’s lives is that 37 years later kids in Kentucky and Hawaii who met her for less than a week in Kansas City still ask about her today on Facebook.�
tions and flowering in plants. Horticulturists are very concerned with phenology, especially when woody plant species such as apples and peaches are involved. This time of year, we closely watch the progression of budding and flowering, with an eye on the weather forecast. We are all too familiar with orchard crop losses due to late frosts during full bloom. The phenologist asks, “What environmental conditions control the development of buds and flowering?� If we can understand the principles involved, there might be hope for controlling the timing of blooms and preventing crop losses. Unfortunately, it is not an exact science at this point, although we discover more every year. Temperature is an obvious factor that can speed up or slow down the bud development and time of blooming. The rates of chemical processes are always temperature-dependent and warmer temperatures speed up the plant’s physiology. Another factor is day length. In addition, most woody species in our part of the world have chilling requirements to meet. Even if you get warm days in early winter, the trees will not grow leaves or bloom, since their chilling requirement has not been met. Once the requirement has been satisfied, they are ready to break
dormancy when the weather turns warm. Other factors can complicate phenology. When I was working in southeast Missouri, we had a study at a peach orchard near Campbell that was looking at the effects of different rootstocks on bloom dates. The rootstock came from varieties of peach trees that had been specially selected for growing good root systems. In studies like these, the cultivar of peach that you want to harvest (called the scion) is grafted onto the rootstock. One entry in the trial had an interstem, which is another variety, grafted between the rootstock and the scion. This had been shown to delay blooms for up to seven to 15 days in other states where it has been studied. Our study did not find that much of a delay in peach blossoming, which was disappointing. But that is what research is all about. Try to find what works, and if it doesn’t, it will save the grower money by not going to the expense of grafting all those interstems. In my next column, I will continue this discussion. In the meantime, you might want to look at the National Phenology Network. You can even sign up to contribute your phenological observations online. Go to http://www.usanpn.org/

INSURANCE CORNER by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO
A Healthy Outlook The current job market requires thought of what reluctant retirees might do if they retire before age 65 and their employers do not offer retiree health insurance. The full cost of health insurance at that age can be considerable whether a person takes COBRA coverage from an employer or purchases an individual policy. One way to deal with the costs involves setting up a health-savings account with a high-deductible indemnity plan until Medicare becomes available at age 65. Once a retiree is eligible for Medicare, in addition to paying premiums for Part B coverage and possibly a Part D drug plan, it may prove wise to purchase a private Medicare supplement (gap) plan to pay for what Medicare doesn't cover. Medigap policies do not cover long-term care, dental care, vision care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and private-duty nursing. To learn more about Medigap plans, please call Robert Barnes Insurance Agency at 660-359-5973. We specialize in individual and group health insurance, annuities, long term care plans, and Medicare supplements. We also have over three decades of experience in working with senior products. We evaluate your coverage needs and financial limitations to determine which program(s) are right for you. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.

Dear Annie: How do you politely handle "the talkers"? There seem to be a lot of them out there -- you know, friends, people you meet at gatherings, etc., who talk nonstop and hardly allow you the time to say anything. Conversation should be a two-way street, not a monologue, but they don't seem to get it. For example, someone will talk on and on about a trip he took or will take, and yes, that is interesting to me, but I'd like to mention my trip, too, and he never comes up for air. Whatever I might have to say is of no interest to these talkers. When they pause, I am able to actually get a sentence in, but after they hear it, they just continue on with their monologue without commenting. All this listening on my part is exhausting. I feel like a captive audience. So now I just don't socialize as much. I have told a friend she talks too much, but she just laughed, as if it were cute or something. But with a stranger or someone I don't know well, what should I say? -- Tired Ears Dear Tired Ears: Any relationship or encounter we have 2,920

"Hurt, Frustrated and Appalled in Florida," the woman whose husband agreed to host his daughter's wedding at their house, did address the lack of communication and issues with his children. However, reading between the lines, I think this woman is afraid of having all those strangers in her home. A few suggestions might ease her mind. Remove items that might easily get broken or are valuables to an offlimits bedroom. Remove all medication and personal items from the bathrooms. She should remember that this is a small wedding, with 65 guests. Probably only close family and friends will be invited. A generous spirit in this wedding process will go a long way toward improving the family relationships. -- Tennessee Reader Dear Tennessee Reader: Thank you for sharing your helpful hints. You are correct that a generous spirit will go a long way, not only during this wedding process but during her entire lifetime.
with people should be a twoway street. If you leave feeling drained after having talked with a friend, then perhaps it's time to find a new friend -- especially if you have been upfront with your friend and your comments have landed on deaf ears. Also, be aware of whether you are listening to the talkers' stories. Much of the time, we don't listen to the other person because we are waiting to speak ourselves -- the very thing you are addressing in your letter. With a stranger or someone you don't know, you can always politely interrupt him or her and exit the situation. Unfortunately, there could be a medical reason for why your chatterbox friend can't stop. Compulsive talking could be a sign of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or anxiety. With that in mind, if the person is a really good friend, perhaps she is having a tough time and needs your friendship, but be firm in insisting that for your friendship to continue, your conversations must include both of you.

Bond market bears down on banks
Bank stocks fell as well. Banks make most of their profit from the interest they charge on loans, and lower bond yields mean lower interest rates for mortgages, credit cards and other financial products. card If the U.S. economy were to slip iinto recession, defaults on lloans would also increase, c causing losses for the banks. Bank stocks began to recover near the end of March, re howe however, after the Federal Reserve clear it wasn’t pessimistic about made cle U.S. economy. It just wanted to the U. p pause after steadily raising rates all last year.

Banks may be making big profits, but investors seem to care only about what the bond market’s recent turmoil means for the nation’s tion s largest financial institutions. The KBW Bank Index, which h tracks the 24 largest U.S. banks, sank to a nearly three-month low last month after investors became fearful g the U.S. economy was slowing and could slip into a recession.. Comments from the Federal Reserve in mid-March reinforced ed those fears, dragging yields of U.S. government bonds to their lowest levels in years. ©2019 Tribune Content Agency, LLC All Rights Reserved.
