Personnel Matter Tops Meeting Agenda

TRENTON CITY COUNCIL

The Trenton City Council was meeting this morning (Friday) at city hall to discuss a personnel matter. The meeting, announced on Wednesday morning, was closed to the public and news media as allowed by state statute. This meeting comes on the heels of an executive session held on Monday night by the city council for personnel as well as legal matters and which was also attended by the chairman of the Police Personnel Board. No announcement from that session had been made as of presstime. During the open portion of the meeting on Monday night, the council decided not to move forward with upgrades to the city’s generators, citing cost concerns. Members voted against spending just over $420,000 for improvements to seven diesel units located at the south substation. The proposed improvements include upgrades to each of the generators at a cost of $56,080 per unit as well as replacement of two relays at a cost of $14,037 each. Known as “black start,� the units are used to generate power to the city in the event of a prolonged electric outage. The upgrades would allow the city to be able to always generate electricity rather than having to buy from an energy pool. The city receives about $13,000 a month in capacity credits from the pool because of the generators. Several persons at the meeting stated they could remember just one time in around 25 to 30 years that the generators were put into use. Because of that, some councilmen felt the cost could not be justified at this time. It was decided that the council would take another look at the upgrades when put-

ting together next year’s budget. The council failed to override a veto by Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue to accept a proposal from Danny Stevens to rent the south end of the large hangar at the airport, along with office space. On a vote of 5-3, the council approved a one-year lease proposal, which would allow Stevens to rent the 3,000 square-foot area at a cost of $300 a month, plus utilities. Stevens planned to house his airplane in the hangar as well as to do billing and store files for his business, Stevens Excavating. Prior to discussion, Dr. McHargue asked the council to readvertise for rental of the hangar, stating he would like to see someone in the facility who would work on aircraft. During the discussion, it was revealed that an aviation mechanic had shown interest in the building at one point, but decided he did not want to locate there. However, the mayor

said that individual has now indicated he would be interested in the building. It was noted that the availability of the hangar had been advertised locally and the individual in question had been told that such action would take place. That person did not submit a bid. During the discussion, several council members expressed their concern with the rent amount being so low for the amount of space being rented. In addition, several indicated they would like to see any contract for the hangar include an “out-clause� of at least 60 days. It was noted that no matter who rents the space, it would need to be for an aviation-related purpose. William Fisher made the motion, seconded by Brad Chumbley, to approve a oneyear lease with Stevens. Voting in favor of the proposal were Fisher, Larry Porter, Chumbley, David Mlika and Jennifer

NiCole Neal Selected To Fill College Board Position

NCMC TRUSTEES

Head Start Building Bid Approved

For the first time in more than six years, there will be a new face on the North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees following action taken Tuesday night at the board’s August meeting. Dr. NiCole Neal of Trenton was selected by the board to serve until April 2020 on the six-member board. When she is sworn into office she will fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Busch, who is now a legal resident of Florida. Dr. Neal will be sworn into office at the board’s September meeting. There were three people who had applied for the position and board members expressed their thanks to those who had indicated their interest, noting that all three were good candidates. Trustees accepted a bid for the construction of a new Green Hills Head Start building in Trenton. The bid, which was the lowest of eight received for consideration, was awarded to JA White Construction of Maysville and totaled $329,750.

Head Start Director Dr. Bev Hooker said the bid will still have to be approved by federal officials, which have provided $414,860 in funds to construct the Trenton facility and one at Brookfield. Dr. Hooker said the Brookfield site doesn’t need as much site work and already has utilities to it as well as a playground. Dr. Hooker also gave an update on the program, which is administered through the college. Information was provided on how the fall semester is shaping up in terms of enrollment. Dr. Klaver gave what he termed a “very precautionary� fall enrollment outlook, which shows a 5.8 percent increase in head count and a 2.5 percent increase in credit hours over last fall. He noted that those numbers will change over the course of the next few weeks. Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre said there have been “dramatic� results in the early college program for which a new tuition rate was recently approved.

National Weather Service

Rain likely throughout the weekend, highs in the upper 80s, lows near 70. Labor Day will be mostly sunny, the high near 86. The high on Monday and Tuesday at the Government Weather Station at Trenton was 96, Wednesday’s high was 78, the low was 63. A total of 2.24 inches of rain fell on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday’s high at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 75, the low was 60 and rain was .03 of an inch.

These are students who have dual enrollment at their high school and at NCMC and attend classes on campus or online. He said the number of students taking such courses usually totals six or seven who generate 20 or 25 credit hours. This year, with the change in tuition for that program, there are 36 students enrolled who are generating 165 credit hours. The board filled the position of residence life coordinator/assistant women’s softball coach with the employment of Sara VanDyke of Linneus. She began her duties on Aug. 20 and will be paid $27,250 per year and will also be provided the Selby Hall Residence Coordinator apartment and a meal plan for the duration of the academic year. Approval was given for two employees to receive stipends for work performed over the summer. Steve Richman will now be provided an annual summer stipend for his athletic director position to compensate him for time he spends working in the

summer. The stipend of $2,500 will be retroactive for summer 2018. Also approved for a $1,000 one-time stipend was Eric Penrod, who serves as men’s residence life coordinator and assistance men’s basketball coach. According to NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver, Penrod carried double duty for both residence halls due to the departure of the former residence life coordinator and assistant softball coach Alexis Adams. In other personnel matters, trustees approved the employment of Ronna Owens of Laredo as a full-time library assistant I at a salary of $10.28 per hour, beginning Aug. 20 and approved Aaron Dowis of St. Joseph as a part-time clinical/adjunct instructor with a daily salary of $250. In other business, trustees: • set the 2018 tax levy at .3855 on the $100 assessed valuation. That amount is expected to generate $362,287.12 in local tax revenue if 100 percent of the tax is collected. • heard an update from Dr. Klaver

Week 2

Lexington @ Trenton

How Will Bulldogs Respond In Week 2

After a 55-7 loss in the opening week of the 2018 high school football season, the Trenton Bulldogs will be looking to bounce back in week two. But, the task won’t be much easier than it was in week one. Lathrop, responsible for Trenton’s demise in week one, is listed as seventh in the latest Class 2 state rankings out this week. Lexington, Trenton’s opponent this week, sits eighth in that same poll. “I’m used to playing (state-ranked teams) now,� Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell said. “This isn’t the first time that Lexington has been state ranked. I mean, it’s difficult, it’s going to be a real challenge for us, but we have to go play these teams. It is what it is. I don’t think you can shy away from the top teams in your district. If you want to be them, you have to go beat them.� In Lexington, Trenton sees a team that doesn’t possess the sheer speed and big-play ability of a Lathrop, but the Minutemen will be a physical force. Lexington has good size and likes to run the ball. In last year’s meeting, Lexington ran the ball 42 times, rushing for 334 yards in a 54-14 victory. The Minutemen never put the ball in the air during the game and it wouldn’t be surprising if there are no passes in the game plan for the visitors again this Friday night. “We’re going to be smaller than Lexington,� Boswell said. “They won’t be as fast as Lathrop, but they are going to be physical. We are going to have to tackle and its going to probably take two of our guys to bring down one of theirs. Our defensive line can’t get driven back and our linebackers are going to have to clean things up. We are just going to have to be over-aggres-

sive on the run.� One benefit for the Bulldogs will be the return of seniors Carson Radcliff, Jadan Whitney and Matt Sibbit, all of whom were sidelined with injuries last week. Radcliff returns to a running back position, where he led Trenton in rushing a season ago with over 1,200 yards. Whitney, however, will be moving to a tight end position, leaving Mark Trump, who ran for 61 yards on a team-high 19 carries last week, at fullback. Matt Sibbit will be in the lineup at free safety on the defensive side, while Whitney returns to middle linebacker after leading Trenton with 133 tackles last year. Radcliff also will start on defense, playing cornerback. Trenton has also been able to work on problem areas in practice this week after they were exposed last week against Lathrop. Trenton will seek to have a better handle on the ball after fumbling eight times last week, six of which were scooped up by the Mules. “I think we can have more success against Lexington than we did against Lathrop,� Boswell said. “One, because we’ve seen where we are short and we have been working a lot on that stuff. Two, we will have all of our guys back. They may not be 100 percent, but just having them back is really going to help us.� Kickoff for the Bulldogs’ home opener at C.F. Russell Stadium tonight is set for 7 o’clock. Trenton will honor the 2007 football team in a ceremony prior to kickoff. A pre-game tailgate, sponsored by Hy-Vee, will be held at the Eastside Park shelterhouse south of the stadium. The event is an eat-what-youwant, pay-what-you-want tailgate, which begins at 5 o’clock.

Quick Look At The LEXINGTON Minutemen

Head Coach: Kyle Barkley, 7th year at Lexington 2017 Record: 9-2 (4-1 MRVC-E), 2nd in the MRVC-E 2017 Finish: Class 2, District 8 semifinalist. Lexington’s only hiccup in the regular season last year came against eventual state runner-up and Missouri River Valley Conference - East champion Higginsville - in week 8. The Minutemen bounced back with a win in week nine and a first-round district victory before their season ended with a 34-23 loss to Lathrop in the district semifinals, one that denied Lexington a rematch with Higginsville. Who To Watch: Alvarro Porras, Sr. (5-8, 195), QB #14 Porras is Lexington’s quarterback, but don’t expect him to beat the Bulldogs with his arm. Lexington is big on running the ball and the quarterback is one of the top options. Porras had just six carries for 34 yards in last year’s game vs. Trenton, but in the 2016 playoff game, Porras rushed for 237 yards and four touchdowns against the Bulldogs, doing so on just seven carries. Who To Watch: Sean Emerson, Sr. (5-10, 195), FB #26 Emerson is as physical as it gets. The Lexington fullback will not shy away from contact. In last year’s meeting with Trenton, Emerson carried the ball a team-high 21 times for 193 yards and four touchdowns. Trenton will have to do better than that this time around if the Bulldogs want to be in contention for win number one.

The Trenton gofers opened the season at Mozingo Lake on Monday, competing in the Maryville Best Ball Tournament. Trenton took just three golfers to the event, but that was enough to garner a team score at the tournament - one that placed Trenton sixth out of 13 schools. Werthen Gass carded a 91 on the day, ranking her third individually in the 66golfer field. Gass scored a 42 on the front nine and a 49 on the back to arrive at her total. The tournament was played in best ball format with each school being allowed three teams of two. The top two scores for each school made up the team score. Gass played alone with Trenton bringing just three players to the tournament, so her score of 91 counted for half of Trenton’s team mark. The other score came from the duo of Oakley Madden and Maci Henson, who

Maryville Best Ball Tournament

combined for a score of 112. Henson shot a 119 individually and Madden finished at 136. “(Mozingo) is a tough course to begin with and the wind made it brutal at times,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “Werthen had three holes that hurt her, but she was able to keep it together and finish third on a course that will host the state tournament this year.” Stanberry laid claim to the team title at the tournament, finishing with a mark of 174 to best the host school, Maryville (175), by a single stroke. Individually, Emily Long of Maryville won the tournament with a score of 84. Allison Martickle of Stanberry was runner-up with a mark of 87 and Gass rounded out the top three with her score of 91. On Tuesday, Trenton attempted to host Brookfield and Marceline in a triangular

at the Riverside Country Club. But with one-to-two holes remaining for each group, lightning delayed the action. Rain followed and the event was cancelled. Due to the number of holes completed, the event will not be made up. The two Linn County schools will not be returning to Trenton to simply play out one-to-two holes to compete the triangular either. Mullenix likened the event to a jamboree in other sports with a lot of golf being played and experience being gained, but the end result will not count for anything this season. The Bulldogs have two more home dates on the schedule this season as they will host Putnam County on Sept. 17 and Richmond and Maysville on Sept. 27. Trenton was at Chillicothe battling the Hornets on Thursday. The Bulldogs will be at the Gallatin Quad on Thursday, Sept. 6, teeing off at 4 p.m.

Trenton Makes The Most Of Chance In Third Inning

When Putnam County’s shortstop bobbled the ball a bit on Tuesday at Griffin Field in Trenton, it gave Chandler Lynch a chance. The freshman second baseman raced to first base. It was a bang-bang play and Lynch was called out. But, after the umpires huddled up, it was determined the Midgets’ first baseman had pulled her foot off the bag in an effort to corral a rushed throw following the misplay at short. Just like that, Trenton had an opening. The Bulldogs parlayed that opportunity into a three-run third inning and that would be all they would need to defeat Putnam County 3-0 in the Grand River Conference opener for both squads. “Chandler getting on base to start the rally for us was huge,” Trenton Head Coach John Cowling said. “Then we adjusted. Ainsley (Tolson ) adjusted, Mykah (Hurley) adjusted. For one inning we were able to go up the middle and get a couple of hits and, really, that’s all we needed tonight.” Following Lynch getting on via the Putnam County error, Tolson was hit by a pitch. Hurley followed, chopping a single up the middle that scored Lynch. Maci Moore then singled to center as well, driving in Tolson. The Bulldogs capped the scoring in the third with a sacrifice fly by Salem Croy that scored Hurley.

That would be all Trenton would get, but that would be all the Bulldogs would need. Tolson fired her second-straight shutout, going the full seven innings while allowing no runs on just four hits. Her defense was equally as sharp, starting a double play and making a head-first diving catch toward the third base line for an out on a pop-up. “(I didn’t know I had it) until the last second,” Tolson said of her diving grab. “I was like ‘I think I can reach it, but I’m not sure,’ so I went for it. I think luck had something to do with it probably.” The shutout was anything but luck. Tolson struck out just three in the game, but Trenton’s defense was stellar. Whereas Putnam’s error led to a three-run inning for Trenton in the third, the Bulldog defense was perfect on the night. “We had some good defensive plays,” Tolson said. “It was one of the first two innings and Mykah fielded a bunt and threw it down to second for the out. I don’t think she realizes how much pressure that takes off of me to have a runner at first instead of second. I thought everybody played well defensively. “Offensively, it was kind of a struggle. (Sammie Bradshaw) isn’t a bad pitcher, so I thought we did a good job of executing and just getting some runs, just scratching them across. Other than that I think we

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

just played well together today and it just worked itself out.” Trenton’s offense garnered only four hits of its own in the win as Putnam County’s ace was up to the challenge of taking on the back-to-back GRC champions. “We beat a good pitcher tonight,” Cowling said. “Sammie Bradshaw was on the whole night and I thought we did what we needed to (do) to win.” The win moved Trenton to 5-0 overall on the season and established a 1-0 record in conference play. The Bulldogs also got Putnam County out of the way, a team Trenton has faced in the conference finale each of the previous two seasons. The Midgets have finished second in the GRC East standings in each of the past two seasons, making their GRC finale with the Bulldogs a faux-GRC East championship game. “We will take (Putnam County) anytime but, yeah, I like having this game first just because now we have it over with and we don’t have it hanging over our heads,” Cowling said. “They always think that they can come in and beat us and we have that game out of the way now.” The Bulldogs returned to the diamond on Thursday, traveling to Maysville. Trenton will be back at home on Tuesday, hosting Princeton at 5:30 p.m.

Volleyball Team Dealt Home Loss

Things didn’t go according to plan for the Trenton High School volleyball team as the Bulldogs were handed a home loss for the second night in a row. Trenton was unable to match Lawson, which scored a 25-9, 25-9 victory on Tuesday, falling just 24 hours after opening the season with a home loss to Cameron on Monday. Lawson reeled off five-straight points before Trenton recorded its first tally in the opening game and the Cardinals took 12 of the next 14 points after the initial run. Trenton found some momentum late in the game behind the serving of Gilcy Ando, but it was too little, too late as

Lawson prevailed 25-9. The second game was more of the same as Lawson closed out the match, winning by the same score in game two. Karli Provorse led Trenton in the loss with five kills, a block and two digs. Melea Farmer added five assists and two digs and Laura Carlson had five digs. Trenton also got an ace and three digs from Gilcy Ando, a kill and two digs from Saedee Jackson, two digs from Allena Allen and one dig from Mackenzie Klinginsmith. Trenton fell to 0-2 on the season with the loss. Trenton also dropped a JV game to Lawson - 25-11, 25-5 - and a C game as well - 25-12, 25-15.

Trenton also got one kill and two digs from Jackson and a kill and a dig from Teresa Yoder. Evy McCullough, Libby Fewins and Klinginsmith all had one dig each in the loss.

Trenton Tennis Team Gets Sweep In Opener

There is high turnover this season for the Trenton High School tennis team. The top four spots in the lineup are changed from last season, only three players with varsity experience are back and there is a new coach for the program. Yet on Tuesday, in the team’s first action of the 2018 season, Trenton’s result from last year’s meeting with the Carrollton Trojanettes was unchanged - a sweep. The Bulldogs won the first seven matches of the day before weather chased the last two Trenton players off the court giving them an official 7-0 victory. Trenton dominated the dual from the onset, getting doubles wins of 8-2 from Emma Gilham and Kendall Crowley, 8-3 from Elle Neal and Latorrie Johnson and 8-1 from Lexi Gott and Morgan Dolan. When singles play began, it was more of the same. Crowley won 8-1 at number three, Johnson scored an 8-5 win at

number four and Gott and Dolan each shut out their Carrollton foes 8-0 at five and six respectively. Gilham and Neal were in the middle of their singles matches when lightning suspended their matches. Heavy rain followed, making completion of the dual impossible, leaving Trenton with the 7-0 win. “I was very proud of how the girls took control as soon as they entered the courts,” Trenton Coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “It is great to start our season off with a win.” Trenton not only swept the varsity matches, but the Bulldogs also claimed victories in both JV contests. Gwyneth Foster garnered a 6-0 singles win and Emilee Lovell netted a 6-2 singles win. Trenton established a 1-0 record on the season with the win. The Bulldogs traveled to Savannah for a dual with the Savages on Thursday. They return to action on Monday, traveling to Chillicothe to face the Hornets at 4 p.m.

A Full Weekend Ahead

If you have never had the chance to see how crops were harvested “back in the day,” mark Saturday, Sept. 1 on your calendar to attend the Hickory Threshing and Tractor Show. The event will be held at Hickory from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to the public at no charge. Those attending will be able to view antique farm equipment as well as see an old-time threshing demonstration at 10 a.m. and again at 3 p.m. Food and drinks will also be available for sale. David Key of Trenton is organizing Diane Lowrey the show, along with help from other area residents who are donating equipment for display as well as use in the threshing activities. The show has been held for several years, with last year’s event drawing around 75 persons. So if you have some free time on Saturday and are interested in seeing some “old-time farming” techniques, I would encourage you to take in the activities at Hickory. If you are planning to spend some time, it is encouraged you bring a lawn chair for seating. •••••••••• Another big event happening this weekend is the Trenton High School Alumni, which kicks off tonight (Friday) with a mixer at the Riverside Country Club and continues through Sunday with the annual alumni brunch at the high school. In between will be an open house, special class activities and the alumni dance at the Black Silo Winery. A highlight of the weekend will take place tonight, with the recognition of the 2007 THS football team, which reached the quarterfinals of the MSHSAA football playoffs, and a pregame performance of the fight song by alumni and current members of the THS Band. Those activities will begin at 6:45. A complete schedule of activities was included in Tuesday’s (Aug. 28) edition of the Republican-Times. Retired THS art teacher and counselor Sara Gibson is the honored faculty member this year, with the 50-year class of 1968 and the 25-year class of 1993 also being recognized.

Contrary To Media Coverage, Most Americans Aren’t That Into Politics

For many obsessed with politics, the upcoming midterm elections are perceived as a fight between good and evil that will determine the fate of the nation. In the narrative framed by true believers and much media coverage, it's a fight between those who are convinced that President Donald Trump can make America great and those who dream of a socialist future.

voters are ideologically moderate. They may be turned off by the shrill tones of activists from both teams. These voters aren't fans of the president's; just 29 percent approve of the job he's doing, and only 19 percent believe he is a good role model. But 45 percent believe he is at least as ethical as most politicians. Their top concerns revolve around economic issues (32 percent), health care (22 percent), social issues (18 percent) and security issues (10 percent). Whatever their top concern is, however, 53 percent don't have confidence in one major party or the other to address it. And they're not connecting the concerns to the political process. Seventy-three percent talk about politics with family and friends less than once a week. Much of the discord in the political process today stems from the inability of the politically obsessed to understand the majority of Americans who don't fit the dominant political narrative. Often, it seems as if the politically engaged don't even want to understand the rest of the country. At ScottRasmussen.com, we believe this disconnect is a serious problem and are committed to enhancing the public dialogue through data-driven analysis. With our partners at HarrisX, we will provide ongoing research and analysis with a particular focus on those who hold more nuanced views of the 21st-century political environment. The results will often be baffling to those who live and breathe politics, but they will be invaluable for all who are sincerely interested in reconnecting our political world with the nation it is supposed to serve. Note: Data in this column are from 15 separate surveys of 1,000 registered voters. Each was conducted between Aug. 6 and Aug. 24 by HarrisX, a research company that specializes in online surveys and looks at Americans' opinions on technology, society, the economy and public policy. Scott Rasmussen is the publisher of ScottRasmussen.com. and author of "The Sun Is Still Rising: Politics Has Failed but America Will Not."

Fifty-four percent of Americans don't fit into that narrative. Just 27 percent strongly disapprove of the president and believe things would have been better if Hillary Clinton had been elected. On the other side, 19 percent strongly approve of the president and believe things would be worse if Hillary Clinton were living in the White House today. The rest have more mixed views. This 8-point advantage among committed voters is the reason that Democrats are expected to do well in the midterm elections this November. In the House of Representatives, likely outcomes range from Democrats falling just short of winning control to a big blue wave earning a significant majority. The final outcome may be determined by a group of voters that neither political team can begin to comprehend. Rather than see the 2016 election as a watershed event that changed the direction of the country, 26 percent of registered voters don't believe life in America would have been all that different if Clinton had won. With Election Day just a couple of months away, most of these voters aren't committed to voting for either side. Like most Americans, these voters overwhelmingly recognize that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have had a bigger impact on the world than presidents of the United States. Perhaps their ambivalence about who is president simply reflects confidence in the belief that culture and technology lead while politicians lag behind. Or perhaps it's just a lack of faith in the political process. Only about 11 percent of them trust the federal government to do the right thing most of the time. Seventy-two percent believe that government agencies use their power to influence elections. Another possibility stems from the fact that 61 percent of these

The children enjoyed the bounce house and face painting along with other games during the “Fun in the Son� event. The Praise Team opened the morning worship service after the lighting of the candles. Pastor Doug Franklin gave the children's message, followed by the joys and concerns of the congregation. The scripture read preceding the message was taken from Matthew 9:35-38. "It's Not a Spectator Sport" was the message from Associate Pastor Kathy Madden. "Rescue the Perishing" was the song of response, followed by the benediction. It was mentioned that Dockery Chapel will be furnishing homemade pies for the Old Time Thrashers Harvest at Hickory on Saturday, Sept. 1.

JOURNALISTS WHO DON’T KNOW FARM WORDS LOSE CREDIBILITY in Select territory. It’s ground, so you don’t feel lack of tenderness. That burger may be from an old cow, not a Prime steer. Beef farmers learn real price premiums paid at slaughter for carcasses grading Prime. Grid prices above daily market prices pay for special kinds of Prime beef. For example, Certified Angus Beef brings extra bonuses. That means it is a “cut above.â€? Premiums go to the last owner of a calf going to slaughter. Farmers selling at weaning as “feeder calvesâ€? lose bonus prices. Those specialized farm words mean differences in eating quality and in prices paid or received. As a long-time agricultural journalist, I see fewer farm kids available to become journalists. I’m concerned about farm kids may not be reading printed words. On our Ag campus most seem engrossed in cellphones. Few carry books. There are still ways for FFA and 4-H members to become reporters. They can learn to write farm youth stories for their local newspapers. My first story printed in the county newspaper was a turning point. Neighbors asked: “You wrote that?â€? What a lift for me. This week an MU magazine for alums carried a story about MU Extension Show-Me-Select Heifers. With it they printed a stock photo of a dairy cow. All bovine are cows, right?

There’s a need for agricultural journalists. And for journalists who know that all bovine aren’t cows. Cattle include: Cow, calf, heifer, bull and steer. Then there are swine: Sow, boar, piglet, shoat, on and on. Correct names are needed. Even trusted news outlets, such as wire services, get farm terms wrong. In stories all cattle are called “cows.� Farmers read twice a story of a semi-trailer wreck dump

Suspects Flee Area Officers Three subjects were being sought after they fled from a multi-agency operation conducted on Monday, Aug. 27 in Daviess County. According to information provided by Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra, a search warrant for a cultivated marijuana growing operation was served on a property located in the area of 285th and Unity Avenue in Daviess County. As the tactical entry team entered the property, three subjects fled from the scene. With the perimeter secured and air support in place, the search continued until dark, but the subjects could not be located. Calls to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday morning were referred to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for more information, however an update was not available as of press time. Prior to the execution of the search warrant, a person of interest was taken into custody in Independence by agents from the ATF and agents with the NITRO Task Force. In addition to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, ATF and NITRO, those assisting in the operation were the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department and the Buchanan County Drug Task Force.

Attic Fire On Haddox Street A fire caused moderate damage to a house of Haddox Street on Wednesday morning. According to the Trenton Fire Department, the house at 2111 Haddox St. sustained moderate damage to a small portion of the attic after a fire broke out shortly before 6:30 a.m. When firefighters arrived at the house, owned by Jason Lovett, they found light smoke coming from the attic access located inside the garage. When they got into the attic, they found moderate smoke and utilized a thermal imaging camera to locate a section of smoldering insulation. A water can extinguisher was used to cool down the smoldering insulation and firefighters removed the insulation from the attic so it could be completely extinguished. The cause of the blaze was determined to be electrical. In addition to the TFD, firefighters from the Grundy Rural Protection District were on the scene as well as the Grundy County Ambulance and the Trenton Police Department.

Tickets Issued In Accident No injuries were reported in an accident that resulted from a shoe slipping from the brake pedal. The accident, investigated Aug. 24 by Trenton Police Officer Jasmine Diab, occurred at the intersection of Harris Avenue and East Ninth Street when the driver of a van, Krystal L. Martin of Trenton, said her “flip flop” fell off the brake pedal and she couldn’t get stopped at the red light at the intersection. Ms. Martin, who was eastbound on East Ninth Street, drove her vehicle into the intersection where it struck a car driven by Cathy M. Rice of Trenton, which was northbound on Harris Avenue. The front of Mrs. Rice’s car struck the side of the van, with moderate damage to the van and substantial damage to the car, which had to be towed from the scene. Ms. Martin was ticketed for failing to obey a traffic light and failing to maintain financial responsibility for a vehicle. republican-times.com

creetly slip into her bathroom and clean the fixtures. When we have guests, I leave antiseptic wipes on the counter. I also have them use the other bathroom. When her dog leaves little gifts on the carpet, I pick them up and never complain. It is my responsibility to take the dog for walks to avoid this inconvenience. I would never dream of stripping away my mother's dignity by mentioning these inconveniences. "Wish She'd Stop's" mother changed her diapers, wiped her snotty nose, bandaged her scraped knees and cleaned her vomit. The elderly revert back to childish habits. Such is life! This daughter can offer to clean her mother's dentures and treat her wounds. The scab picking should be brought to the attention of her treating physician, as I believe this is a psychological problem. It is no big deal to treat her mom with proper respect. Mothers this age come from the greatest generation known in our lifetime. They lived during the Depression and World War II. They have known real hardship. Many organizations in the community offer caregiving classes, which I have taken. This daughter could benefit from such classes. She would learn how to care for and understand her mother's behavior. -- Caregiver in Arizona Dear Caregiver: Bravo for finding the most compassionate way to handle what many of us would consider problems. Your degree of sympathy is inspiring.

Dear Annie: OK, I realize there are innumerable insurmountable, earth-shaking universal problems in our world. This is definitely a "First World problem," but it is one that could be easily fixed. Could manufacturers please mark their food products with expiration dates that are easy to locate and read? I probably spend a third of my grocery shopping time squinting, turning products round and round or holding them up to light, trying to locate teeny-tiny black type on, for example, dark brown iced tea bottles or embossed lettering on lids of yogurt containers. And why do they have the date stamped on the bottom, forcing people to pick up and turn each container? Why do they put dates on the ends of egg cartons so people must unload an entire shelf of fragile eggs trying to seek out the elusive printed dates? How about some buyerfriendly bright type on the fronts of products? Wouldn't that be just as easy for the producers as what appears to be their attempt to make buyers play hide-andseek with these dates? Now back to focusing on world peace. -- Exasperated by Expiration Dates Dear Exasperated: After receiving your question and look-

ing into it more, I was surprised to learn that there are no federal laws requiring companies to print expiration dates on food products (except for infant formula and baby food). Some states have laws mandating expiration dates on meat and milk, but that's about it, in terms of legal requirements. So you can't rely on these dates as the ultimate pantry authority; you might end up eating something that's past its prime or throwing away something that's perfectly fine. Bottom line: Expiration dates can offer a helpful guide, but you should still use your senses and common sense to decide whether a product is safe to eat. Dear Annie: I am somewhat appalled by "Wish She'd Stop," who complained about her 82year-old mother. Having her mother over once a week is very nice and expected. Considering no longer inviting her mother for dinner is an indication of this daughter's lack of compassion and understanding. My 92-year-old mother lives with my husband and me, along with her yappy little dog, who has accidents in the house often. My mother has unpleasant habits, as well. For instance, she leaves messes in the bathroom. I would never humiliate her by pointing this out to her. I dis-

Eye on Security firm FireEye has emerged as a key player in the fight against state-sponsored disinformation campaigns on social media services such as Facebook and Twitter. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for a company that has been struggling with profitability for years. Before alerting social media services about suspected Iran and Russian interference, FireEye was best known for alerting companies including Target and Sony Pictures about high-profile cyberattacks. Although FireEyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue has risen steadily, the company has been spending heavily on research, development, sales and marketing, too. That has led

to many quarters of losses. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turning around. In 2018, FireEye expects to break even or have up to 4 cents per share profit, as revenue climbs 9 percent to 11 percent to $820 million to $830 million. FireEyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock jumped 6 percent last Thursday when news broke of its role in uncovering fake accounts on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. And the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation continues to grow. Despite heavy competition in cybersecurity, GBH Insights analyst Dan Ives said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;FireEye many times gets that first phone call.â&#x20AC;?

Most people purchase a marker or monument to mark the place of burial. Cemetery rules may dictate the kind of marker you can purchase. The two most common are the upright stone marker, often made of granite or marble, and flat bronze or stone marker, which is flush with the ground. Traditional cemeteries have upright stone markers, while newer ones may permit only markers that are flush with the ground to reduce maintenance costs. Some cemeteries have both. Upright markers are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes

and colors. Flush markers are generally less expensive, but there is also less variety to choose from. In addition to buying the marker, you will also need to pay for the lettering and the installation. For a veteran buried in a national cemetery, a marker is automatically provided and there is a marker allowance for a veteran buried in a private cemetery.

Building And Nuisance Board Holds Meeting

The Building and Nuisance Board of the Trenton City Council held public hearings on seven properties during a meeting on Monday night. During the public hearing process, the board voted to give six of the owners 60 more days to continue progress on their properties. They include 409 E. 19th St., owned by Dorothy Altoff; 510 W. Crowder Road, owned by Donald and Twyla Whitney; 813 Olive St., owned by Michael and Cheryl Jones, Denise Wilson and James Drake; 912 Grant St., owned by Jeremy and Nelda Kroll; 1609 Bolser St., owned by Michael and Sherry Knapp; and 3726 E. 28th St., owned by Jeremy Hamilton. The seventh property at 511 E. Ninth St., owned by Mark and Rhonda Towns, was moved to “findings of fact.” Seven properties listed under “findings of fact” were moved to certificate of existence of dangerous buildings, meaning that papers can be filed and the properties taken to court if no progress is made. Those properties include 305 E. 10th St., owned by RDM Enterprises; 400 Washington St., owned by James Owen; 412 E. 10th St., owned by Carol and Katie Smart/Phillip Drennon; 503 W. 12th St., owned by Ron Silkwood; 1415 Lulu St., owned by Darrell and Amanda Williams; 1715 Lulu St., owned by John and Dawn Boyles; and 2303 Chicago St., owned by Lee Simmons. The council voted to have property at 1001 Custer St., owned by Andy Gannon, forwarded to the court system, and have property at 812 Grant St., owned by Michael and Ruth Smith, declared a nuisance. Property at 3400 Serendipity Lane, owned by Albert Hines, is to be turned over to the police department for the issuance of a ticket. Code Enforcement Officer Donnie Vandevender reported that asbestos removal bids for the 2018-19 demolition program are due to city hall by Sept. 10 and he hopes to have a recommendation to the board and council on Sept. 24. Interim Police Chief Rex Ross reported that 176 nuisance incidents have been investigated during the year, with 46 going through the court process.

Spickard Board Approves Levy

The Spickard R-2 Board of Education set its tax levy during a meeting on Monday, Aug. 20. Superintendent Burnie Schneiderheinze said the rate was set at $4.2497 on the $100 assessed valuation. This represents an increase of 7.66 cents from last year due to a drop in the district’s assessed valuation. The board was reorganized, with Ruth Ann Shipps being elected as president and Roger Bonnett as vice president. Jesse Richmond will remain as treasurer and Kelli Girdner will continue as secretary. Reorganization was needed due to the board losing its president. In other business, it was announced the transportation agreement with the Princeton School District will remain the same as there is an eight-year lease on the bus used to transport students from Spickard to Princeton. The next board meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 17.
