Levy Options Are Discussed

TRENTON R-9 BOARD OF EDUCATION

The possibility of future new construction projects in the Trenton R-9 School District without having to increase the district tax levy was mentioned during Tuesday night’s public hearing on the proposed 2018 tax levy. The hearing was held prior to the regular board of education meeting, with board members officially setting the levy at $4.145 on the $100 assessed valuation. The rate is just over four cents higher than last year due to a decrease in the district’s assessed valuation and would generate approximately $3,336,657. Of the total levy amount, $3.245 will be for the incidental fund while 90 cents will go to the debt service for payment of bonds associated with construction of the current middle school as well as additions to the elementary/high school facilities. The 90-cent debt service amount has been the same since 2000, when the new middle school was built. Dan Superintendent

Wiebers said the district will finish paying off the middle school costs in 2020 and that one of the goals of the district Comprehensive School Im-

provement Program Committee has been to look at other needed construction projects once the middle school was paid for. He said that if voters

were to agree to leave the debt service levy at 90 cents, approximately $6 to $7 million See R-9, Page 3

Trenton Woman Leads Staff

There’s a new face at the North 65 Center with the hiring of a new administrator. Karen Otto of rural Trenton began her duties at the local senior citizen center on Monday, Aug. 13. She brings a variety of experience from the medical profession, banking and as a school bookkeeper to the position. She sees the senior center as a benefit to both those who use the center and those who volunteer. “I think it’s a great benefit to our senior community,” she said. “They can come in and get a meal or we deliver to them. It’s also a benefit for people who volunteer with our seniors and we have a lot of volunteers. There are a lot of activities here right now we have an exercise class going on and there are two tables of women playing bridge. It’s definitely a social opportunity for a lot of people and that’s im-

portant.” Mrs. Otto, a Newtown native, said the center is not just for senior citizens, with those of all ages encouraged to eat lunch there, participate in the activities or volunteer. “That’s a good way to integrate age groups in the community,” she explained. Mrs. Otto and her husband, Bill, are the parents of three sons, Tyson, Lance and Jeremy and have 10 grandchildren. She noted that all of her daughters-in-law are educators, either as teachers or administrators. Before moving to rural Trenton, the couple lived in Newtown, where she served three terms on the city council and was the secretary/treasurer of the fire district board when it was first established.

made to address effluent disinfection issues and meet effluent requirements of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, with funding for that work coming through loans obtained from certificates of participation along with funds from rate increases approved by the council three years ago. At that time, the council approved a rate schedule that included increases of 30 percent in the first two years and 26 percent in year three. The year three rate hike was delayed until Trenton Municipal Utilities had time to evaluate water usage by the Nestle plant, which recently assumed operations of the facility previously operated by ConAgra. City Administrator Ron Urton told the council the city could see some cost savings by

County Levy Hearing

Headworks Project Approved

TRENTON CITY COUNCIL

Additional improvements to the city’s sewer system are moving forward after members of the Trenton City Council on Monday agreed to go ahead with the headworks portion of a project currently under way to meet state requirements regarding effluent disinfection. On a vote of 7-0, with Travis Elbert absent, the council authorized Burns and McDonnell engineering firm to prepare a proposal that would outline fixed costs for the work and include a rate study that would also outline how the city would pay for the headworks. The cost for the engineering work would be $240,000, which would be rolled into the final project cost. Improvements to the city’s sewer plant are currently being

adding the headworks project to the current work at the sewer project as the project contractor would already be on site. A preliminary engineering report from Burns and McDonnell estimates the headworks project cost to be $1.5 million. Burns and McDonnell, in a memorandum to the city council, said that the existing headworks at the plant has failed, with the screenings being out of service and that the grit chamber is leaning due to the settlement of the structure. Material and debris is clogging pumps and mixers downstream, resulting in failure of processing equipment. The material and debris is making its way into the sludge which is land-applied and could put the city at risk, the memo stated.

Burns and McDonnell suggested the city construct a structure for new screens and a grit removal channel with deep foundations. By doing this, Burns and McDonnell said the city would be positioned in the long term to maintain equipment more easily and safer, “complete departure from a failing existing headworks structure” and have “long-term protection of downstream equipment from debris and protection of land application fields from undesireable material in the sludge.” As part of the work, Burns and McDonnell is also recommending the city update its rate model in determining the financial impact to the city due to the project.

On The Road...

The Grundy County Commission will hold its annual tax rate hearing at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21 in the commission room, located on the second floor of the courthouse. The proposed levy is .2374 cents on the $100 assessed valuation, which is up from .1846 cents last year. The tax rate ceiling is .3823 cents, with .2374 being the maximum rate after the sales tax rollback. Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard said the reason for the increase from last year is that an error was made last year, with the increase in assessed valuation not included in the tables used to determine the maximum levy. That error resulted in more than $40,000 not being collected last year. The actual valuation for 2017 should have been $131,637,140 and a figure of $119,837,998 was actually used. This year’s assessed valuation is up slightly to $132,390,269. The levy is expected to generate $390,283. In addition to the hearing, the commission plans to meet with Ambulance Director Steve Tracy on Tuesday morning.

GCNHD Board Meeting

NO OFF-SEASON FOR WATERFOWL HUNTERS Rabbit hunters may nod drowsily through summer evenings while rubbing the ears of their favorite beagle hounds. Hardworking bow hunters may spend an hour at the target range now and then to keep their shooting skills sharp. But for a waterfowl hunter, there is no such thing as an off-season. Successful duck and goose hunters tend to be obsessive. They have to be. If you're a waterfowler and you find yourself idle on evenings and weekends from the beginning of February, when Canada goose season closes, until the opening of teal season in mid-September, you ought to be worried. Worry No. 1 for most duck and goose hunters is their equipment. Hunting gear sustains a lot of wear and tear over the course of Missouri's waterfowl season. July and August, when it's too hot for many outdoor activities, is the perfect time to hole up in the garage and touch up the paint on decoys. Start by scrubbing them with a stiff brush to remove dirt and flaking paint that would keep the new paint from sticking. While they are at it, smart waterfowlers mend holes in decoy bags and replace weak anchor cords. This is also a good time for those who got a little too excited as birds settled into the decoy spread last season to patch pellet holes in plastic decoys. Looking over their supply of serviceable decoys, many hunters worry they don't have enough. Mid-summer is a great time to make purchases, since retailers aren't likely to be sold out and may even have equipment from last year on sale.

Duck boats get touch-up paint and repairs this time of year. Handling this critical piece of equipment may also remind the hunter of modifications he thought of in the marsh months earlier. This is also a good time to look for signs of metal fatigue at stress points, caulk leaky spots and tighten loose bolts. Make sure your registration is up to date, and check the serviceability of safety equipment onboard. Another waterfowl hunter's worry is his four-legged hunting companion. The off season is a long dry spell for retrievers. Unless exercised and drilled, they get out of shape and forget important lessons. A dog that won't sit quiet as birds circle overhead or can't remember how to respond to hand signals can be less than helpful when the action commences. Remember that retrievers are adapted to cold weather and can get seriously ill if worked too hard in warm conditions. Train early and late and leave plenty of time for rest and water breaks. If you train in your yard, buy a kiddy pool and fill it with cool water to help your canine partner stay cool. Hunters' skills can use work during the off-season, too. Practicing unassisted can just reinforce bad habits, but audio tapes are available to guide the way to better calling. Frequent outings to shoot clay targets helps hone shooting skills. This reduces crippling and means more birds in the freezer. A worry that doesn't occur to some hunters, but should, is the possibility that they could be caught without all the required permits. Hunters who pursue doves, snipe, rails, woodcock or other migratory birds in Missouri need the Migratory Bird Hunting Permit and a state hunting permit. Those who hunt ducks, geese or other waterfowl need a federal duck stamp in addition to these other permits. Buying permits now saves time and potential disappointment later. Many waterfowlers don’t think of all the preparation that needs to be done until a week before the season starts. If you are one of these hunters, you’re probably a little frantic when September and October gets here. Why not take a relaxed approach this year, and be prepared when the season arrives.

gineers said is recommended “to reflect anticipated revenues and expenses associated with Nestle; to position the city to fund additional improvements to the sanitary sewer treatment and collection system; and to better understand potential impacts to utility ratepayers and the ability for the city to secure debt.” In other business, the council approved the 2018 tax rate, which was set at 90.36 cents for the general fund and 16.63 for the park fund. The rates are slightly higher than a year ago due to a decrease in the assessed valuation. The general fund tax is estimated to generate around $490,000 while the park tax will realize around $88,500. Also approved by the council was an ordinance issuing a conditional use permit to Tim and Laura Bland to allow for business property at 1242 Tinsman Ave. to be converted into a single-family dwelling. Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue again brought up his belief that city residents continue to provide most of the revenue received by the township and county, but do not see of those funds come back to the city.

He again mentioned the $144,000 city residents pay in township taxes, with only $16,000 coming back to the city coffers as well as questioning why the county was not helping pay for the new 17th Street Bridge. Larry Crawford asked if the mayor or anyone from the city had talked with the county and township about those concerns, to which the mayor said he believed it was up to the council to have those conversations. The council then voted to have City Administrator Urton form a committee from the council to visit with the two entities. Dr. McHargue also addressed the council about the importance of making sure that citizens water their trees and shrubbery, noting that the water cost would be far less than the cost of having a tree replaced. Debbie Kinnison appeared before the council concerning the city’s animal control ordinance, getting a clarification regarding regulation of cats.

Back To School...

Where did the summer go? Area students and staff began their journey back to the classroom this week for the start of the 2018-19 school year, with all area school districts back in full activity mode by the middle of next week. Trenton and Laredo students still have a few days of summer vacation remaining, with the official start of school on Tuesday, while Pleasant View R-6 and Spickard R-2 begin their classes on Wednesday. Classes at Grundy R-5, meanwhile, got under way on ThursDiane Lowrey day. To help students get ready for the start of school locally, the Bright Futures Trenton organization held its first-ever back to school event last week. Community volunteers worked with school officials to make items available to students who needed things such as school supplies, shoes, clothing and haircuts. The Grundy County Health Department was able to hold its countywide back to school event on the same day, allowing not only R-9 students, but students from other districts as well to receive free health screenings along with additional school supplies. The day ended with a cookout, hosted by Trenton Hy-Vee, and a swim party at the Trenton Family Aquatic Center. It was the first time an event such as this was held and organizers were quite pleased with the participation. Information provided by the Bright Futures program showed 152 backpacks of school supplies given out to students in the Trenton R-9 School District, while another nine went to students from other schools. A total of 192 pairs of shoes were given out that night and several pieces of clothing - most of which featured a Bulldog or Trenton logo - were also distributed. And over 65 free haircuts were also given to children, all of whom walked away with a big smile on their face as they admired their new hair styles. Hats off to all community volunteers, school personnel, businesses and organizations who assisted in any way with this project. A lot of time was spent by a lot of individuals to organize this event, collecting the supplies, shoes and clothes and making sure they got to where they were most needed. This event is a great example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together to address a specific need. There will be other community projects in the future that will need our help and I hope that we will be just as willing to help with those needs as well.

On May 30, 1783, the Pennsylvania Evening Post and Daily Advertiser published its first daily edition, becoming the first daily newspaper not only in Pennsylvania, but in our young nation.

Today, we stand with many other newspapers across the country to defend our profession and the communities we serve.

Guest Editorials

We are NOT Fake News. Journalists pledge to report real, honest and credible news. We go to school to learn how to tell people’s stories, record history, sift through the hazes of propaganda and uncover the truth. We cover the stories and uncover the information everyone in the community needs to make informed decisions on who to vote for, where to eat, and what to buy. Mistakes are NOT Fake News. Journalists do their best to report truthful information. In today’s world of the 24-hour news cycle, sometimes we make a mistake in the rush to sort through conflicting information and tell a story. We then do our best to correct the error and learn from it. This misinformation happens for a variety of reasons, but the mistake is not deliberate nor is it malicious. News you don’t like is NOT Fake News. Not all news is happy news. We cover the tragedies, the crime, the tax hikes, the shady backroom deals. Just because it makes us uncomfortable, or angry, doesn’t mean it’s any less true. Journalists would not be doing their jobs if they didn’t cover the things that unsettle us. Many times, those are the things that impact our lives the most. Opinions are NOT Fake News. The editorials and opeds we write and publish are just that – opinion. We endorse candidates based on the information we have and who we think will best serve our community. You may agree with us, or you

may not. That’s OK. Our job is to provide you with the facts so you can form your own opinion and make your own informed decisions. Journalists are NOT the enemy of the people. We are the people. We live in the communities we cover and, just like everyone else, want those communities to succeed. For communities to be at their best, the people who live in them need to know what is happening. Journalists are the eyes, ears, and voice of the people we serve. We sit at the school board meetings so you know who the next principal will be. We attend the town council meetings so you know which company is building in your backyard. We ask tough questions of government officials so you know where and how your tax dollars are being spent. For every candidate we investigate, there’s a small business owner we profile. For every tax hike we report, there’s a high school football/basketball/soccer win we celebrate. For every congressman we question, there’s a charitable event we share. There is nothing fake about the communities, the people, the businesses we cover. There is nothing fake about our loyalty to those same communities, people and businesses. We are not perfect. We know that. We also know that the news we provide can play a vital role in keeping our communities safe and economically sound. We cannot allow our leaders to erode the public’s trust in the media. Doing so would also erode the quality of information you receive, affecting the decisions you make. The First Amendment is just 45 words in length, but they are mighty words. They guarantee our freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Journalists are your safety valves, whistleblowers and reporters-in-chief who cover everything from what is going on in your town, to the cat stuck in the tree. And, we are passionate about our duties to document the history of our communities and serve as watchdogs to protect the public’s interests… your interests.

Those attending were Jessica Stonecypher, Hollie Renfro, Glenda Stamper, Ben Stamper, Rob and Lisa Kincaid and Karen Prewitt. What a wonderful break. We

found ourselves wallowing around in a few showers yesterday. Our rain gauge showed slightly over one inch while some neighbors got nearer to the two-inch range. Every ounce is a true blessing this year. Our family has gotten the opportunity to meet three fine men this week as their company helped us try to obtain drinking water for the cattle. The process was fascinating as they drilled to 300 feet and we got water at around 200 feet. There is still a lot of work to do to get things in order to bring the cows over, but without the well we have not had a good option.  Hauling water is quite a chore.

MISSOURI DROUGHT INTENSIFIES, RANKS “EXTREME” IN NORTHWEST

Droughts end. They always do. But when? This drought gets worse by the day. This week the U.S. Drought Monitor raised the dryness score for most of North Missouri west of a line from Columbia to Kirksville. The drought map shows that area bright red. We’re Extreme Drought, running 10 inches below normal rainfall. Now on the U.S. map northwest Missouri marks center of a bullseye. Except for western Kansas and a bit of Iowa other Corn Belt states are far less dry. Some show near normal. That doesn’t bode well for Missouri farmers. In the write up, they tell a difference between agricultural and hydrological droughts. The latter goes beyond the impact on farming. As example, they tell of the Hamilton city water supply. Lake level falls almost below the water intake. That could lead to severe cutbacks and closing of businesses. Drought

becomes serious for more Missourians. Drought is based on lack of rain. Hot temperatures make drought worse. Last week, I walked out of the office into a blast of wind from the Southwest. That was hot and dry. Young trees growing in the yard looked grey, not green. MU grounds keepers can’t keep up on watering. On the farm side livestock farmers seemed hard hit earlier. Pastures dried up, starting late last summer. There was little winter grazing and hay baling fell short. We didn’t have a lot of bales in storage. We’d sent lots of hay to Oklahoma and Kansas that had been hit hard earlier. Hay prices shot up. Now, hay prices are out of sight here. Farm talk says cows are going to the sale barn. Scott Brown, MU beef economist, says sale numbers aren’t as bad as the stories tell. But, I see the last quarter numbers made a jump.

AGRICULTURE

Now, Missouri crop farmers are concerned. In the weekly MU field crops teleconference extension agents report early corn ear drop. That means corn is ready for harvest. Most reporters hadn't seen that by August 1 before. This week some said soybean fields were only 5 inches tall, far below normal. Doublecrop beans didn’t get started. That drought map showing us in the bulls eye, means Missouri crop farmers may be hit harder than those in neighboring states. MU state forage specialists have told grass farmers to prepare for the coming fall rains. It’s normal to apply fertilizer, about 40 pounds of nitrogen. That increases fall grass growth for use in winter grazing. In the past, fall hurricanes drought-breaking brought rains in September. Recent Gulf forecasts don’t call for increased storms. Temperatures cause more havoc for herd owners. Bulls don’t work well in hot weather. And, their semen quality drops drastically. They may breed cows, but it’s just practice. Few pregnancies result. There’s far more interest now in seeding warm-season grasses. Things change as drought hangs on. Our MU Extension beef nutritionist from New Mexico stays busy telling drought feeding tips. The drought map outlook doesn’t help. Warm temperatures stay through the rest of this year into next planting season. No great recovery seen in rainfall. They forecast equal chances of rain, or not. I’ve seen many droughts, being born in the Dust Bowl drought. I don’t recall that. But my Mom told of wiping Kansas dust off her furniture. I still worked on the family farm in droughts of the 1950s. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ve written about many droughts since then. The 2012 drought was an economy changer. This one will be also. Send drought stories to duanedailey7@gamail,com. I sense extreme droughts go beyond that on the last map.

DROUGHT-STRESSED CORN AND NITRATES

Most of the northwest quarter of Missouri was already abnormally dry or in actual drought starting in January and continuing through all of 2018 thus far. It affects agriculture, our water supply, fire concerns, and even recreation and tourism. I will be addressing some of the issues that we face with this year’s drought over my next few columns. Believe me, it would be fantastic to abandon my plans for future columns on the drought because we start getting lots of rain… but for now, it’s not in the forecast. And for many crops, it’s too late to do any good even if we do see some rain. For this week, I would like to concentrate on an immediate concern of many farmers who are wondering if it is safe to feed their corn to livestock. The problem is, of course, the nitrate content of their corn. We had this same problem back in 2012, and there were reports

A DeKalb County community listening session on wind farm development will take place 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.

back then of livestock being poisoned from high levels of nitrates in their corn. The situation was on our MU Extension “Radar Screen” earlier this year. As in 2012, we ordered nitrate test kits, and some farmers are bringing corn to extension centers for us to test. The type of test that we use does not give nitrate quantities in corn, but simply shows if there is cause for concern or not. If you would like to have your corn tested, please contact your local extension center, to make sure that nitrate testing is offered in that office. It’s also a good idea to make an appointment, to be sure a specialist will be there who can conduct the test. Many growers who have been through this before know that putting corn into silage may help. The fermentation process may reduce nitrate levels up to 50 percent or so, but there are no guarantees. The success depends on if it is good corn

silage…correct moisture, good packing, etc. After the process of ensiling the corn is completed, it’s best to send samples to a lab to get some numbers back on the actual nitrate content of your silage. Then call one of our Extension Livestock Specialists to discuss the results. You may be able to use the silage as is, or it may need to be combined with other feed sources to reduce the amount of nitrates that your livestock are eating. Our livestock specialists can determine the best ratio to use. I have seen varying results on nitrate tests here at the Daviess County Extension Center. Corn which is severely droughtstressed has very high nitrate levels. Some corn, from fields that have been getting timely rains, does not show significant nitrate levels. Keep in mind, though, that nitrate levels can vary from plant to plant. It’s best to bring in several typical speci, mens for us to test. In future columns, I will be looking at the actual , rainfall and evapotranspiration data that I , have recorded here in Gallatin. I will also be comparing this year’s drought with 2012 in several ways, plus posting photos. This is an ongoing process, and you can see what I have so far on my web site: http://extension.missouri.edu/nwhort/droug ht.aspx In addition, I have links to other drought-related resources.

Considered Opinions

If you have been diagnosed with a serious disease or condition that you have been told requires surgery, it’s in your best interest to get a second opinion. An evaluation from another doctor may provide more information that can help further assess your options and weigh the risks and benefits of surgery. Insurance companies will often pay for at least part of the cost of a second opinion, but you should check first, especially if you plan to go out of network. After finding out all that you can about your condition and its natural progression, you may be better prepared to review your options. If you receive two very different opinions, do not necessarily assume the first one was incorrect. Many plans, including Medicare Part B, help pay for second and even third opinions. In fact, some insurers won’t authorize major surgery without one. Ask your doctor for the name of another expert, someone with whom he or she is not closely connected to. There’s no need to worry about offending your doctor. Second opinions are expected.

Please be ready and have your student to the bus stop 5 minutes early. This will ensure that you don’t miss the bus and the bus will stay on schedule. For those who live in a pay-stop area, don’t forget to stop by Apple Bus Company at 1046 E. 17th St. to pay the $40.00 per year, per family fee. This fee has not changed in many years. Your student will need to show the bus pass to the bus driver in order to ride from that bus stop. This pay area includes those who live within 1 mile from their child’s school. Those of you that ride a country route and your students are not going to ride for any reason, please give us a courtesy call at 339-7227. Please contact the bus company with any messages for the bus drivers as they are on a schedule and it creates a safety issue talking with drivers during the bus route. Always be aware of the school buses during their routes. Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is about to stop and students are present. Always stop when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. This means students will be active outside and around the bus. Trenton R-9 children and their safety are important to us. Thanks for your cooperation. New Apple Bus Policy - Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st Grade students must have a parent or designated adult present at the bus stop in the afternoon. If no adult is present, that student will remain on the bus unless you give us permission to do otherwise. If you have any questions, contact Steve Liechti at 339-7227.

THE Daily Commuter Puzzle by Jacqueline E. Mathews

Dear Annie: I am seeking some advice. I have a disability, and my place of employment is discriminating against me based on that disability. I finally filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and waited. Having heard nothing, I phoned just to make sure the EEOC got the forms. After repeatedly calling, I finally had a return call stating that my case had been automatically deleted from the EEOC's computer system after 90 days because of inactivity. I went to the local EEOC office to file my complaint in person, but with interview questions such as "Why are you here, because you have not lost your job?" it became uncomfortable, as well as insulting. Am I wrong in believing that no one should be told one's harassment or discrimination is unimportant because one is still employed? The officer then directed me to another agency but said not to tell that agency I am disabled, because it would be referred back to the EEOC. As you can see, I really am at a loss and would appreciate some advice. Do I just go back

and try again, or should I lodge a complaint with someone? If you recommend the latter, to whom should I complain? -Dismayed in Kentucky Dear Dismayed: How incredibly frustrating. You're not wrong for trying to file a complaint. You don't need to be fired in order for your concerns about workplace discrimination to be valid. That's not how that works. I'd recommend contacting a plaintiffside employment lawyer (many offer free consultations) to discuss your situation and the options for redressing your grievances. Dear Annie: I haven't any family except one son, and he lives in a group home. When I married for the second time (my first husband passed at the age of 35), the man had two sons, and one has passed. I am leaving just about everything to my stepson because I have no one else. The remainder will go to the organization where my son lives. I just made out a new will. My lawyer said that no one needs to see it -- that I should simply put it in a safe box and let the executor know where it is located. I have done that.

The issue is that my stepson wants me to fax him a copy. He wants to see it. It isn't any of his business right now. He is acting as if he's perfectly innocent and in the right for asking. I feel the conflict building between us and can tell this is going to become a fight. Previously, when there was a problem with his father's will, he just ignored all communications from the estate lawyer. What can I do? He may not realize it, but he is the one who will mess up if he messes with me. -- Wills Are Not Family Dear Wills Are Not Family: Where there's a will, there's a way for true colors to out. Your stepson seems to be showing his, and they're not pretty. He has no right to demand to see your will. As you said, it's not any of his business at the moment. Set boundaries. Stay firm. And if you want to take him out of your will for this bullying behavior, nobody would blame you.

Turkey melt President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. University of Maryland economist Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan pointed out dangerous levels of dollar borrowing in a 2014 article, saying “the key vulnerability is not only the magnitude of the credit boom, but also the nature of this debt.” The International Monetary Fund cautioned in April about a potential “sudden stop.” So far, the impact on countries beyond Turkey seems limited. But as the Federal Reserve increases interest rates further, effectively drawing money away from emerging markets, more turmoil could be in store.

They told you so. Turkey’s currency collapse might have surprised some investors and certainly came as an unpleasant shock for people in Turkey with rapidly devaluing liras in their pockets. But this crisis wasn’t impossible to see coming. Turkey’s economy ran hot, fueled by foreign borrowing in dollars and euros for construction projects — instead of by pro-business reforms. The falling lira now makes those dollar debts much harder for banks and companies to pay. The central bank could have cooled inflation and borrowing with rate increases — but didn’t, amid pressure from $0.30

Injuries were listed as minor to the drivers of two vehicles involved in an accident on Tuesday morning, Aug. 14, on Highway 6, one mile west of Trenton. Angela Gott, 37, of Laredo and Leeza Siddoway, 23, of Jamesport, were transported by the Grundy County Ambulance Service to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton for treatment of their injuries. Both vehicles were demolished. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said that an SUV driven by Ms. Gott was westbound on

Highway 6 and had slowed down to make a left turn when it was struck in the rear by another SUV driven by Ms. Siddoway. The impact caused the Siddoway vehicle to rotate 180 degrees and come to rest in the westbound lane, with traffic being blocked for a time. The Gott vehicle came to rest on the westbound shoulder. The accident was investigated by Trooper C.D. O’Hara, assisted by Sgt. Joe Rongey, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department and the Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District.

Something To Think About VINCE NEAL

DIRECTOR

WHO WILL BE PALLBEARERS?

Mourning is a highly personal matter. However, some aspects of the process are communal. One way that friends and family can participate in the funeral ceremony – if the casket is present – is to serve as pallbearers. You can indicate the individuals that you would like to perform this honor. You normally need to select six pallbearers. The funeral director will explain to the pallbearers what they need to do and when. In addition to those who actually carry the casket, there may be others who could participate as honorary pallbearers who accompany the casket.

If you do not use friends or acquaintances as pallbearers, it may be necessary to hire professional ones. The funeral director can arrange this service and tell you what the charges will be. In a few areas, unions require the use of paid pallbearers. In this case, your only alternative will be to designate honorary pallbearers.
