Early Graduation Requests Approved
Members of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education discussed electronic cigarette use and vaping during a meeting on Tuesday night. Superintendent Mike Stegman reported on efforts at the high school and middle school to curb issues involving e-cigarettes and vaping, which he noted has become an issue at schools throughout the country. Stegman said he was told that students leave backpacks in their lockers to cut down on taking such contraband to class and that random bathroom and locker room checks are made by administrators. Teachers also monitor restrooms between classes. Stegman said that students caught with e-cigarette paraphernalia are disciplined according to the district’s tobacco use guidelines in the handbook, which includes three days of in-school suspension. Stegman said he would be meeting with administrators to further discuss the topic, which he said is “becoming a dangerous situation.” He said the district would be naive to say that vaping is not an issue and that detection is difficult. He said it is an issue the district needs to stay on top of. Board member Marcie Cutsinger suggested involving students in coming up with ideas to help curb the situation. Among action items approved by the five board members present were early graduation

requests from Kaitlyn Owen and Emma Rorebeck, membership in the Missouri School Boards Association for another year and approval of bus routes (10 regular and three special education/preschool). It was noted that the MSBA dues of $3,479 were the same as last year and provides R-9 with the “full maintenance” services provided by the association. The board was informed of changes made in the Positive Behavior Support program at the Rissler Elementary School. Assistant Principal Adriane Todd said positive behavior is being recognized by classrooms, with students being allowed to “color in” a dog paw chart for good deeds done. When the chart is filled, a classroom party is held. It was noted that classes are being encouraged to use one of the parties for service projects as a way to give back to the community. Individual recognition is also being done. Following an executive session, the board voted to hire Alissa Dekoning, Ann Constant, Annie Bass, Amy King, Marjorie Keuhn and Chloe Martin as substitute teachers and Mattie Yoder as a substitute cook. Board members present at the meeting were Doug Franklin, Brandon Gibler, Dorothy Taul, Corey Leeper and Mrs. Cutsinger. Absent were Dr. David Whitaker and Cliff Roeder.
It appears that a decision on whether or not to dissolve the Spickard Special Road District will end up in the hands of the Grundy County Commission rather than being decided by voters in the April 2020 election. After researching the issue, it appears that state statute requires the commission to hold a hearing on the issue and then make a decision on whether or not to dissolve the district, which was established in 1994 by the commission after a petition was presented with signatures seeking its formation. Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard said the commission is consulting with legal counsel before making a decision on how to proceed with action on the petition to dissolve the district, which was presented to the commission on Aug. 21 with 63 valid signatures. Public notice will be given by the commission at least four weeks prior to the hearing, according to Mrs. Spickard.
Commission To Meet The Grundy County Commission plans to meet with city officials from Trenton and Laredo during its meeting set for Tuesday at the courthouse. The commission is scheduled to meet with Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton and other city officials at 8:30 a.m. to discuss partnering opportunities. At 9:30 a.m. the commission will meet with Laredo Mayor Carol Holloway to discuss law enforcement. ********** SATURDAY, SEPT. 14 Celebrities vs. Heroes Softball Games - Griffin Field Concessions at 5:30 p.m., Opening Ceremonies at 6 p.m. Earthquake Drill - Rock Barn Area (area closed to the public)
Columbia Contractor Awarded Bid
17th Street Bridge Project Moves Forward Boone Construction of Columbia was officially chosen as the contractor for the 17th Street Bridge replacement project during a meeting of the Trenton City Council on Monday night. The council unanimously approved the bid of $2,339,736, which was the lowest of six received. The bid recommendation had been contingent on approval by the other entities that are providing funding for the project, however, City Administrator Ron Urton said Union Pacific Railroad, the Department of Economic Development and the Missouri Department of Transportation have all indicated their support of the project, allowing the city to proceed with the bid award notification to Boone. Once paperwork is completed, a notice to proceed will be issued and, once the bridge is closed, the company will have 150 days to complete the project and re-open the bridge. Urton said the bridge would not be closed before the Missouri Day Festival in October. It was noted that the cost of the entire project, including purchase of property and demolition of structures in the area of the bridge work, has been estimated at $3,373,194. Funding will be provided by a Community Development Block Grant of $500,000 as well as $750,000 from MoDOT and $650,000 from the railroad. The rest of the cost, $1.4 million, will come from the city’s transportation sales tax. The council discussed using asphalt from the city’s plant if the mix is approved by the state. Urton said he would visit with the company about that possibility. The council approved two ordinances to purchase materials and provide labor for lift station work in the Town and Country area. Enviroline will provide materials and start-up labor at a cost of $20,426 while
AREA SCHOOL BOARDS
SMI-CO will do the installation at a cost of $16,560. Also approved was an $11,698 bid from Troyer Roofing for metal roof restoration at the TMU warehouse as well as a bid from Asplundh for tree trimming services at a cost of $119.21 per hour for a two-man crew, not to exceed $25,000. Bids were received from MFA Oil and Landes Oil for #2 diesel fuel used for the electric generators, with both bids at $2.049 per gallon. It was decided to purchase a tanker-load from each company. Urton told the council that water samples tested for lead showed all to be below the EPA level for action and that the city would continue testing on an annual basis. He reported attending a FEMA workshop with Councilman Glen Briggs and will be completing paperwork so the city can receive FEMA funding to pay for damage due to flooding this spring and summer. The city was presented with a grant of $95,866 from the Missouri Public Energy Pool to be used for electric distribution system upgrades including the purchase and installation of reclosers and switches for substations and distribution lines and the maintenance of breakers, relays and transformers. Connie Ford, director of membership services, made the presentation and noted this is the second such grant the city has received, with a $63,095 award being presented in 2015. In other business: • Urton reported that a city bucket truck was sold on the Purple Wave website for $22,000. • Councilwoman Cathie Smith, who chairs the economic development committee, reported that interest has been shown in the possible construction of a new hotel in Trenton. She also said efforts were under way to develop a brochure to highlight places of interest

Week Three - Gallatin Bulldogs @ Trenton Bulldogs
Trenton Opens GRC Play With Gallatin For 10 years Kevin Hixson called Gallatin home. Now, nearly 20 years since his last season as Gallatin’s head football coach, Hixson is preparing to face his former team as the head coach of the Trenton Bulldogs. Hixson’s tenure at Gallatin was a highly successful one. He guided the Red and Black Bulldogs to a 60-39 overall record during those 10 seasons and took Gallatin to the top of the Grand River Conference in 1997 and 1998. Now, Trenton is hoping the former Gallatin coach can lift the Black and Gold Bulldogs past the only conference foe they have yet to beat since joining the GRC ahead of the 2016 season. “There are a couple of kids on (Gallatin’s) team whose dads played for me,” Hixson said. “I think it’s just a uniqueness, it’s kind of cool. But, I have every intention to go out there and try to win this football game.” This year’s Gallatin team is recovering from the loss of Graydee Rains, who was the heartbeat of Gallatin football both
HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL
offensively and defensively over the past couple of years. They haven’t seemed to struggle with that loss yet, however, going undefeated in non-conference play with wins over North Platte and Hamilton. Gallatin has leaned on Aidan Adkison to replace the bulk of Rains’ production. In two games, Adkison has 43 of the team’s 68 carries on the season and has averaged almost 100 yards per game. Adkison will also take direct snaps in a Wildcat look for Gallatin at times. Quarterback Brinely Vandiver is strictly a passer and Gallatin has shown a willingness to let him throw the ball through the first two weeks. Vandiver has completed 13-of-25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns in weeks one and two combined. Trenton should have back Jaren Whitney, who is probable to start. His play in the secondary could be a bigger factor in the game than his offense as Trenton looks to keep Gallatin from throwing over the top as it did in some crucial times last week

Clutch Hit Proves To Be The Difference
Twice McKayla Blackburn came to the plate with two outs and a runner in scoring position on Tuesday night in Princeton. Twice she put the ball in play. Twice she was out. Fittingly, when she came to the plate for the third time, there were two outs and runners standing on second and third base. The third time was the charm for Blackburn. After Maci Moore raced home on a passed ball for the first run of the game, Blackburn lifted a sinking liner to shallow centerfield that dropped in for an RBI single. The sequence jumpstarted Trenton, which kept itself in the hunt for a fourth-straight Grand River Conference title with a 4-1 victory over the host Tigers. “It made me feel 10 times better,” Blackburn said of Moore scoring on the passed ball and taking off some of the pressure. “I was getting under the ball and I was dropping my hands really bad. (Assistant) Coach (Kameron) Cool talked to me right before (that at-bat) and he was like ‘hey, you have to get your hands up and on top of the ball.’ That’s what I thought the entire time and it

worked for me.” Blackburn was seemingly a part of everything on this night. Her RBI single ended up being the difference in the game. She added an insurance run for Trenton in the top of the seventh with some headsup baserunning, scoring from third base when an infield fly was dropped. On top of her offensive exploits, Blackburn kept the Princeton lineup off balance all
night, carrying a shutout into the seventh inning. She fired all seven innings, allowing just one run on six hits while not walking a single batter. She tallied only one strikeout, but consistently retired Princeton batters in big spots. Trenton committed three errors in the game, but when Blackburn needed her defense, it was there. Chandler Lynch turned a double play, stepping on third and throwing to first with two on and one out in the sixth. Chloe Harris caught everything hit to her in centerfield, including a couple of deep-hit balls. Offensively, Trenton had just five hits, but used patience at the plate to put runners on all night. The Bulldogs drew 10 walks in the game with Harris and Summer Martin taking three walks each. Lynch added a hit, run and
RBI for the Bulldog offense. Trenton moved to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in GRC play with the win. The Bulldogs hosted Gallatin on Thursday and will travel to Hamilton on Monday for non-conference action at 4:30 p.m. MIDDLE SCHOOL The Trenton Middle School softball team opened its season on Tuesday, suffering a 15-3 loss at Princeton. Madi Moore led the squad, going 2-for-two with a run scored and two RBIs. Mirena King scored two runs in the loss. Emma Roberts was the losing pitcher in the circle, allowing 11 runs, but only two were earned as Trenton committed six errors in the game. Trenton dropped the B game 6-0 in three innings. TMS will host South Harrison on Tuesday. The first pitch is set for 5:30 p.m.
The Trenton High School girls tennis team picked up a 6-3 victory over visiting LeBlond on Tuesday at the THS tennis courts to snap a two-match slide. Just a day after falling to Chillicothe on the same courts, Trenton rebounded against LeBlond, grabbing control of the dual in doubles play. Lexi Gott and Kendall Crowley combined for an 8-2 win, Gwyneth Foster and Mallory Sole were 8-6 winners and Morgan Dolan and Alaina Overton picked up an 8-1 win. The two teams split singles play with Trenton getting wins from Foster (8-2), Sole (8-5) and Overton (8-1). Gott fell 8-6 at number one, Crowley lost 8-1 at number two and Dolan was defeated 8-4 at number four. Trenton swept junior varsity action as Emilee Lovell and Baley Catron won 6-0 in doubles play and each picked up a singles victory, Catron 6-0 and Lovell 6-1. CHILLICOTHE Against Chillicothe on Monday, Trenton picked up one win in doubles play and just one more in singles action. Dolan and Overton were 8-5 winners at number-three doubles while Sole won 8-4 at number-five singles. Gott and Crowley fell 8-5 in doubles play while Foster and Sole lost 8-2. In singles action, Gott fell 8-0, Crowley lost 8-1, Foster was defeated 8-4, Dolan lost 8-0 and Overton fell 8-6.

Lawson Tournament
Golfers See First Tournament Action The Trenton High School girls golf team was shorthanded this week as senior Oakley Madden missed a pair of events due to illness. Trenton took three players to the Lawson Tournament on Tuesday after the same trio hosted Marceline at the Riverside Country Club on Monday. With just three golfers in action, Trenton was unable to post a team score. Maci Henson put together a strong day at the tournament, however, shooting a 105. She started a little slow with a front-nine 58, but bounced back to shoot 47 on the back nine. “Anytime you can get to another course it just prepares you for down the road at districts,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “Maci played really well. I was hoping she would kind of use this as an opportunity to start getting herself ready for districts. She had a really good back nine. She kind of struggled on the front, but I was really happy with her shooting a 105. That is a good spot for her to be in right now.”
Trenton got a 134 from Josie Chumbley, who had nine-hole splits of 68 and 66, and a 136 from Mari Atup, who carded nine-hole marks of 70 and 66. MARCELINE Henson led the way for Trenton at Monday’s home dual, shooting a 52 to claim medalist honors. She also had Trenton’s only par of the day, taking a four on the second hole at the RCC. “I was happy for Maci earning her first medalist honor,” Mullenix said. “She’s worked hard to improve her game, so it was nice to see her play well.” Behind Henson, Trenton got twin 66’s from Atup and Chumbley. Marceline would post a score of 243. Had Trenton had a fourth golfer available, the Bulldogs would have needed a score of just 58 to win the dual. Trenton traveled to the Gallatin Quad on Thursday and will be in Gallatin again on Tuesday, competing at the Gallatin Tournament.

Princeton Girls Claim Albany Tournament Title After dropping the opening game of the season, the Princeton High School softball team is on a tear. The Tigers have won four straight following the season-opening defeat against Maysville. Three of those wins came on Saturday at the Bill Hill Memorial Tournament in Albany. Princeton laid claim to the tournament championship with a narrow 3-2 victory over North Harrison in the championship game. In the title contest, North Harrison plated a run in the bottom of the first inning and held the 1-0 advantage until the fourth inning. In the fourth, Princeton got a pair of runscoring singles off the bats of Makenzie Dunkin and Jasmine Allen. Princeton would push its lead to 3-1 in the sixth when Allen drove in her second run of the game. On both of Allen’s run-scoring singles it was Carsey Brown who crossed the plate for the Tigers. North Harrison would match Princeton’s run in the bottom of the sixth, but that would be the final tally for the Shamrocks. Lauren Krohn shut down the potent North Harrison lineup, allowing just the two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four in seven innings of work. Offensively, Brown, Dunkin and Allen were all three-forfour while Lacie Lewis went two-for-four. Krohn added a walk and a run scored. “The girls played really well in every facet of the game at the Albany Tournament,” Princeton Head Coach Heather Hall said. “They came up with clutch hits with runners in scoring position as well as key defensive plays to limit the other teams’ runs. Lauren Krohn was spectacular on the mound. All of this was the combination that led to our success Saturday.” Princeton advanced to the
championship game with a 62 win over Stanberry in the semifinals and an 11-5 win over Worth County in the first round. Against Stanberry, Sara Spencer was two-for-three with a double and two runs scored. Dunkin had two hits as well and Kennedy Norton finished one-for-two with a teamhigh two RBIs. Krohn picked up the win against Stanberry as well, going seven innings with two runs allowed, one earned, on eight hits and a walk while striking out nine. Against Worth County, Lewis and Krohn each had three hits with Lewis adding a double, three runs and two RBIs and Krohn finishing with a double, triple, two runs and four RBIs. Dunkin had two hits, a run and two RBIs. Krohn threw two frames, striking out the side in both innings to finish with six K’s. Megan Spencer threw five innings, allowing five runs, three earned, on nine hits and a walk while striking out two. SOUTH HARRISON Two days before the tournament in Albany, the Tigers scored their first win of the season, defeating South Harrison 9-3 at home in Princeton. Lindsey Batson was threefor-four with a triple and three runs scored in the win and Dunkin finished three-forthree with a double, two runs and an RBI. Krohn fired all seven innings, allowing three runs, one earned, on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven.

Sports Briefs... Trenton JV Football Wins It came down to overtime, but the Trenton High School junior varsity football team is in the win column. The Bulldogs outlasted the Lexington JV on the road on Monday night, picking up a 16-8 victory. Ian Elbert got Trenton on the board in the first quarter, scooping up a Minutemen fumble and racing 90 yards for a touchdown. Quincy Griffin ran in the two-point conversion and Trenton held an 8-0 advantage until Lexington knotted the score in the second quarter. Neither team scored again, forcing overtime, where a 25-yard touchdown run by Griffin, who also carried in the two-point conversion, was the difference. Trenton, now 1-1 on the season, will play host to the Gallatin JV at 6 p.m. on Monday.

Princeton Tigers 41, North Platte Panthers 14
Powell, Tigers Notch First Victory Five full quarters of football passed without the Princeton Tigers scoring a point. When they finally found the end zone, however, they couldn’t stop putting points on the board. Princeton scored 41 points in the second, third and fourth quarters combined on Friday, Sept. 6, rolling over the visiting North Platte Panthers 4114. It was the first win of the season for Princeton, which was shut out 35-0 in the previous week at Mid-Buchanan. It was also the first win of the Nathan Powell era in Princeton. “Obviously we were all happy to get that first win,” Powell said. “After that buzzsaw last week we were looking for some positive momentum and we were definitely able to get things moving in the right direction.” Through one quarter, the scoring drought that befell the Tigers last week continued, but things changed when the game rolled into the second stanza. Princeton scored its first points of 2019 on a 17-yard pass from Austin Kelly to Ben Berwanger - a play that came on fourth down. That would be one of just eight pass attempts as Powell’s ‘Wing T’ offense is run-oriented. Kelly was incredibly efficient with his few opportunities to throw the ball. He completed six of eight opportunities for 156 yards and three touchdowns. Only one pass got away as North Platte intercepted a ball in the first quarter for the lone Princeton turnover of the night. Princeton followed up the initial score with a blocked punt that Wilbur Walkup took to the house, stretching the Tiger lead to 14-0. Kelly found Camden Hartley for a touchdown and hit Berwanger for that duo’s second scoring hook up in the fourth quarter. He also added a 55-yard strike to Justin Rhoades. Berwanger led Princeton with three catches for 86 yards and also had a team-high 105 yards and two more scores on 14 rushes. “Getting the win was big for confidence but, more importantly, we were able to consistently move the ball on the ground and through the air,” Powell said. “We had a great balance and that’s key for our success this year.” The game was a stark contrast to the previous week, partially because Princeton was playing a team who, like them was looking for win number one as opposed to the stateranked squad the Tigers saw in the previous week. But despite being down a couple of rungs on the competition ladder, the

Princeton quarterback Austin Kelly rolls out to his right during Princeton’s 41-14 victory over North Platte on Friday night at Eddie Allen Field. Kelly completed six-of-eight passes for 156 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
Tigers still delivered a much better performance on their side in the eyes of Coach Powell. “First and foremost we cleaned up a lot of the mental errors we made in week one,” Powell said. “If you can’t execute your blocking scheme correctly or communicate your coverage calls, it’s going to be a long night. We also did a great job protecting Austin and he was able to have a good night passing. It’s also a learning process for me calling plays. I’m still working out all those wrinkles moving over from the defensive side.” The win pushed the Tigers’ overall record to 1-1 on the season. Princeton will open conference play this week against the Polo Panthers in the second of what is a threegame home stand for the Tigers at Eddie Allen Field. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m.

OP/ED
The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
Volunteers Needed
Whenever there is a special occasion or holiday, I enjoy seeing the U.S. flags flying around the courthouse. I appreciate the efforts of the Trenton Kiwanis Club and the Trenton Lions Club, who for years have taken on the responsibility of putting up the flags early in the morning and taking them down at night. It’s a big responsibility and one that club members have taken very seriously. Wednesday was 9/11, which is not a traditional holiday but a day that we all remember when, in 2001, terrorists Diane Lowrey attacked the World Trade Center’s “twin towers” in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and forever changed the way we think about our safety from foreign invaders. In the years right after the attack, flags would be put up to memorialize those who lost their lives as well as celebrate the freedoms those terrorists were unable to take away from us on that day. There were no flags waving at the courthouse early this Wednesday, which one can only summize is because there was no one available to help put them up. Volunteers from the courthouse and businesses located in the area did eventually put up flags at the corners of the block, which flew until late in the afternoon when those same volunteers took them down and put them back in storage for the next holiday. Trenton has a unique tradition of having the U.S. flag flown around the courthouse at various times throughout the year, which has drawn lots of praise from local residents and indivudals who come into our community from out of town. The clubs do a great job in making sure the flags are displayed but, as with most organizations, membership dwindles and the responsibilities for club activities such as putting up the flags falls to a few individuals. In the past few years, the clubs have asked for volunteers to assist them with the flags and while many have answered the call, more persons would help the project go even faster. The next time flags are scheduled to be flown at the courthouse is Missouri Day weekend, Oct. 18-20. If you have some free time, give the Kiwanis or Lions clubs a call and volunteer. Or, better yet, show up on the morning the flags are to be put up or evening when they are taken down. Members usually gather around 7 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. (5 p.m. on Veteran’s Day due to an early sunset).

RETURNING TO JEFFERSON CITY Each September, the Missouri General Assembly returns to the Capitol to review any legislation that was met with the governor’s veto pen the previous summer. And, this year will be no different. My colleagues and I will make the trek back to the Capitol City for not only veto session, but an extra session as well. This year, six bills were rejected by the executive branch. When we are in Jefferson City, the sponsors of those measures will determine if it is necessary to override the veto now, or if this can wait until new legislation is introduced next year. The Missouri Constitution requires a two-thirds majority of both the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives to override any of the governor’s vetoes. Lawmakers have also been called back to Jefferson City for
an extraordinary legislative session. The governor is asking us to respond to a recent decision handed down by the Missouri Supreme Court. Justices have ruled the purchaser of a vehicle can only reduce tax liability when selling one vehicle they already own. Before, the Missouri Department of Revenue would calculate the taxable cost of a new vehicle when someone would sell more than one vehicle at once. The governor wants lawmakers to allow credits for multiple vehicles. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

What Others Are Saying... Putting The Hammer Down E-cigarettes have for too long held a unique place in the American regulatory framework. They aren't tobacco, so the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has no jurisdiction. Though their ingredients are ingestible, liquid vapor manufacturers haven't completely submitted to the Food and Drug Administration's jurisdiction. These devices sneaked into Americans' lives and their vapor into to many people's lungs, making users human guinea pigs in an experiment that is yielding increasingly tragic outcomes.
Guest Editorials At least four users have died in recent weeks from lung ailments caused by inhaling vapor infused whose ingredients aren't entirely known to regulators. The vaping industry has been around for about a decade, yet the regulatory framework governing them remains in its infancy while users are poisoning themselves. E-cigarettes were once hailed as a revolutionary way to help millions of smokers wean themselves off cancercausing tobacco cigarettes. Around the time they were introduced, an average of 435,000 people were dying prematurely each year from smoking-related diseases. So E-cigarettes seemed like a genuine life saver. But there's no escaping the downside: This new technology is just a more efficient way of delivering nicotine to feed user's addictions. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin, researchers say. The profit motive for exploiting the nicotine market is huge, which partially explains why the vaping industry is fighting every step of the way to avoid regulatory oversight by the Food and Drug Administration. At the same time, they have introduced a variety of flavored liquids designed specifically to bring young people under the vaping umbrella. About 3.62 million middle and high-school students used e-cigarettes in 2018. From 2017 to 2018, e-cigarette use jumped 78 percent among high school students (11.7% to 20.8 and 48 percent among middle school students. In one 2014 survey, 81 percent of young e-cigarette users said the variety of appealing flavors attracted them to start vaping. Today it's chocolate or bubble-gum flavored vapor. Tomorrow, manufacturers wager, it'll be nicotine — and the creation of a customer for life. No wonder even the tobacco industry has gotten into the vaping business. Meanwhile, young people are inhaling what they think are innocuous vaping liquids when, in fact, they could be killing themselves. The recent deaths are believed to involve a liquid containing THC, the chemical that causes a marijuana high. In an additional 450 cases, patients have been hospitalized with respiratory ailments linked to vaping. Common sense would dictate that people know what they're inhaling before they allow it into their lungs. But common sense doesn't always prevail, especially among young people and especially when vaping products are marketed as safe when no federal regulatory agency has
deemed them so. People are dying. Is that not enough for this to become a priority regulatory issue in Washington? — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Jeff City’s Fog Of Inaction Maybe it's true what they say about marijuana. It seemed to bring about a case of the lazies in our state lawmakers. Our elected officials are a sober bunch — at least when it comes to marijuana — so there's no need for a potato chip and cartoon marathon. Marijuana does, however, seem to bring about a lack of initiative in legislation that deals with the drug itself. The result is a crazy patchwork of enforcement that can vary from county to county. Jackson County, for instance, doesn't prosecute most marijuana possession cases. Buchanan County does, though jail time is a rarity for minor possession. Now, a new law that removes hurdles to agricultural hemp is adding to the confusion. Livingston County no longer prosecutes misdemeanor marijuana cases, because it's impossible to distinguish between small amounts of illegal marijuana and legal hemp that contains less than .3 percent THC. Other states, including Nebraska, have run into a similar issue. (Some Nebraska football players were able to beat the rap, for now, because of the lab testing issue). In Missouri, the problem isn't the hemp law. It's a Missouri Crime Lab that remains overwhelmed and underfunded. Whatever your stance on marijuana, you can't blame those in the crime lab for prioritizing backlogged rape kits over minor marijuana cases. You can wonder how it came to this. Some would say it's best for lawmakers to back off and let the legalization train roll through. Privately, lawmakers suggest that a legalization ballot initiative is inevitable, so why bother? To those who think it's best to passively sit by and wait for a voter referendum, we would point to the failure of ethics legislation a few years back. Now, the state is advertising for an unelected demographer with unseemly clout to redraw election boundaries. Lawmakers had a chance to consider medical marijuana when state Rep. Dr. Jim Neely, a Republican who was leery of legalization but also saw the therapeutic benefits for his elderly patients, proposed a narrow measure with limits on the drug's use. It went nowhere, so voters took matters into their own hands. Unlike the legislative version, the voter-approved measure allows medicinal cannabis for specifics like cancer, intractable migraines and glaucoma plus "any other medical condition." That means the hunt is on for a sympathetic doctor. Colorado tried medical marijuana for a couple of years, then legalized everything after a large number of men in their 20s started getting diagnosed for vague chronic-pain conditions. Lawmakers might not be able to stop the well-funded legalization train, but they should climb aboard and try to influence the outcome with reasonable regulation before they get steamrolled again at the polls. — St. Joseph News-Press

University of Missouri officials have announced a $6.5 million investment in the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station of MU’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. The investment will enhance the university’s ability to share next-generation agricultural technologies developed by MU researchers with Missouri’s farmers and ranchers. “CAFNR’s world-class animal and plant researchers use these centers to translate research from the laboratory and evaluate its impact under real field conditions,� MU Chancellor Alexander N. Cartwright said. “Because these projects oftentimes include an educational component, our students also use the research centers for essential field studies. Needless to say, these centers are critical to our ability to deliver innovative applications to Missouri’s farmers and ranchers.� Cartwright, along with Mun Choi, UM System president; Marshall Stewart, MU vice chancellor for extension and engagement and UM System chief engagement officer; and Christopher Daubert, vice chancellor and dean of CAFNR, made the announcement at the Fisher Delta Research Center Field Day Breakfast in Portageville. The joint investment comes from the UM System, MU, CAFNR and MU Extension. “An investment in the Agricultural Research Centers is an investment in Missouri, especially rural Missouri,� Daubert said. “This is a historic commitment, and shows the university’s dedication to the

BOOK SALE AT PUBLIC LIBRARY BRINGS RIGOROUS COMPETITION Saturday some hiked to Faurot Field for MU Tigers first home game. They saw a welcome win over West Virginia to sooth nerves from a seasonopening whomping at Wyoming. For others, book lovers, Saturday was fall sale at Columbia library. I went elbow to elbow with fellow faculty and buyers from used-book stores. For most it’s pleasure. Dealers build their businesses. I’ve seen an owner of our downtown used-book store. He grabs box loads of used books. Castoffs from the library mix with donations from library patrons. Some folks empty their bookshelves. I buy a poetry book for 50 cents that a store owner could sell for $8. I gain by going early to compete with those bullying buyers. I’ve had them snatch

I left with only half a book bag full. But, at home, late afternoon, I thought of books I’d resisted. I left with five books I really needed. And, I left many more. (I’ll stick to writing this afternoon.) The sale resumes Sunday afternoon, ending with a grocery sack sale. Hope I can resist. Today, instead of writing early, I started Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book.

Station research, annually enrolls around 8,500 heifers and generates an estimated $17 million in annual impact. The investment complements CAFNR’s newly launched strategic plan, Drive to Distinction, and its focus on Empowering Missourians, in addition to current efforts underway by MU Extension and Engagement to meet agricultural challenges facing rural Missourians. “This support will provide greater collaboration between CAFNR researchers and MU Extension field faculty to deliver higher-caliber programming that better meets the needs of Missouri agriculture,� Stewart said. The immediate impact of new construction and renovation of the research centers stimulates both regional and state economies by hiring construction workers and contractors, equipment suppliers and others to perform on-site improvements. Economists estimate that the $6.5 million investment project will have a more than $11 million economic impact for the state. “We must invest in modernizing these centers to perform the cutting-edge research needed to grow Missouri’s global presence in agriculture,� Choi said. Agricultural Experiment Station leaders will help determine priority investment areas, such as equipment or facilities, at the network of centers. A new facility currently under construction at the Southwest Research Center in Mount Vernon is one example of the type of project helping to modernize research center infrastructure.
repro specialist, talked about a heifer tipping point while we drove to Thompson Farm. What will it take for beef farmers to reach a point where all will boost their herds through timed AI and known genomics? Opportunities are huge. Research from Spickard is free to take. No elbow-toelbow competition. MU heifer protocols lead to time savings at breeding and calving. That should appeal to all. Big payoffs come two ways. Replacement heifers sell for premiums. If kept at home, they improve the cow herd. (That’s the biggest pay off). SMS steermates bring grid price premiums. Either way, that can bring a $500 bonus. Wouldn’t ideas that bring an extra $500 per calf bring tipping? Maybe some owners just haven’t read stories in the news about Show-Me-Select. I’m concerned about readership, in this age of Face Book and Twitter. I see too much pass-along copy, often of needless hate. We need good ideas. For love or profits. When I went back to the library book sale, I was
shocked. Used to be by afternoon, tables were well picked over if not bare. This time, it seemed too many were full. Few buyers were picking up remains. Do people not need books? The times they are changing. I do read Tweets. One said college freshmen aren’t flocking to football games. I drove by a student favored tavern on Broadway. The crowd overflowed onto the sidewalk before game was over. recall as an MU freshman, we all had season tickets. They were high priced. As I recall, maybe $1 per game. But I recall I could see a John Wayne movie for 25 cents. The Malcom Gladwell book I’m hooked on and yearn to get back to is “Blink.� That’s about how fast we make decisions--without thinking. We decide before we think. Well, that saves time. But, maybe thinking about how to breed cows the modern way might be worth some skull time.

land-grant mission. Like every industry, good agricultural practice changes rapidly, and it’s imperative that CAFNR’s facilities demonstrate the latest approaches to field and farm management to help our communities remain profitable in an increasingly competitive environment.� The Agricultural Experiment Station operates a system of Agricultural Research Centers across Missouri in an effort to meet the regional needs of agricultural producers and natural resource managers. With nearly 14,000 acres, these research and demonstration facilities host more than 35,000 people each year for field days, extension activities and other community events. The Agricultural Experiment Station takes research discoveries involving plants, animals and natural resources from the lab to the field. Many recent advances in Missouri agriculture and natural resources can be traced back to the work conducted at the research centers. Examples of that research include MU’s internationally recognized Interdisciplinary Plant Group and Maize Genetics Center, both of which partner with plant breeders located at the research centers to develop more resilient, healthy and productive crops. Recently, researchers developed heart friendly, high-oleic soybean varieties through campus labs coupled with fieldwork done at research centers across the state.

CAFNR Agricultural Research Centers. “I really think precision agriculture is everything,� Young said. “We’ve been tasked with feeding a growing population with fewer resources, and that means we have to be smarter about what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. We have to make farms more profitable. Precision agriculture allows us to manage our inputs and get the most out of the data we receive.� Young began working with The Climate Corporation in early 2019 and helped facilitate the partnership with MU in June. He was able to equip 12 of the research centers with iPads and hardware for their farming equipment, and those centers are currently working on collecting data.
“At the Forage Systems Research Center (Linneus) we selected a 30-acre field and took a total of 30 soil samples,� Young said. “We took those samples to the soil testing lab on the MU campus, got results back and uploaded them to the Climate software platform. We can now easily see where there are deficiencies, and we’ll be able to make improvements and adjustments as we move forward. We’re also going to use the data to create variablerate prescriptions and track their success.� That platform gives research center superintendents the analytical tools to make smart farming decisions on the fly, he said. “The data will allow us to analyze what actually impacted yield; what worked and what didn’t,� he said. “You get

really valuable insights into what’s really going on.� The partnership also serves individuals looking to earn the Certificate in Precision Agriculture Technology through CAFNR’s Agricultural Systems Management program. The CAFNR Agricultural Research Centers are spread throughout the state, so the data describes the unique features for the regions those centers represent. Individuals working toward the certificate will now be able to use that live data in class. “One of the Grand Ideas in our strategic plan(opens in new window) is focused on the digital age of farming,� said Shibu Jose, CAFNR’s interim associate dean for research. “We’re excited to begin this partnership as the first step and start looking at the data we’ll gather from these tools. This is the future of farming. We’re hoping to use the insights that we gain from this data to make better production decisions.�

Princeton R-5 The Princeton R-5 Board of Education approved a baseball cooperative agreement during its meeting on Monday night.
According to information provided by Board Secretary Christy Stockman, the board approved a baseball cooperative with Mercer High School for the 2020 season. This will be the first year for baseball at Princeton, with Mercer having served as the hosting school the previous three years. Approval was given to two policy updates and discussion was held regarding the need for a school van to transport small groups as well as the Early Childhood Special Education program. More information is to be provided at the October meeting.

tial transition to a four-day school week. The district has been discussing such a move for some time, but has taken no formal action. A community meeting is planned for late October to present information about the four-day week and McKinnis said as many as three meetings may be held depending on feedback received from patrons of the district. The board approved several policy updates, the afterschool program contracts, the local program compliance statement and the substitute personnel list. There was also discussion regarding the boiler at the elementary school and reports were heard from physical education teacher Ty Stillwell and first/second grade teacher Laura Craft. McKinnis said the district is in the process of switching to the DCI program for professional development, with a self-assessment to be completed during the professional development day on Sept. 13. He also reported repairs being made to the greenhouse. Recognition was given to Newtown-Harris staff regarding the handling of a “lockdown� last week when an individual escaped from the Mercer County jail. He said the lockdown provided the district with an opportunity to observe procedures and practices and has resulted in re-establishment of a safety committee. It was reported Principal Amy Carlson held a minibreakfast for teachers and that Ty Stillwell had received his commercial driver’s license, passing on his first attempt. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 14.

The Behavioral Health Support associate of applied science degree is a two-year program of study that prepares students to enter the workforce as caseworkers for those with behavioral and mental health Dr. Sharon diagnoses. Weiser The program of study, offered completely online except the two clinical practicums, prepares students to immediately enter the workforce after degree completion. The hands-on clinicals in community settings offer practical experiences. Employment options upon completion of this degree include positions in state, county, and local human service agencies, substance abuse counseling, positions in private or public treatment and rehabilitation centers, half-way houses, correction facilities, parole and probation, drug court, retirement facilities, schools and other human service agencies. While these jobs - Community Support Specialists - have been traditionally been held by Bachelor’s graduates, the Missouri Division of Mental Health has approved students with this AAS degree from NCMC eligible to be hired for these positions, allowing immediate entry in the field. This is a career in high need. According to Hyde’s “Report to Congress on the Nation’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Workforce Issues,” seventy-seven percent of our counties have a severe shortage of mental health workers. In addition, the Occupational Outlook Handbook lists the job outlook as increasing at 22 percent. For those who qualify, there are two state programs to help pay the tuition for this program: The Caring for Missourians Tuition Assistance and the Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant. If you would like more information on the Behavioral Health Support program or the tuition assistance programs, contact Dr. Sharon Weiser at sweiser@mail.ncmissouri.edu or 816-232-1768. This is a program that can get you into the workforce quickly and making a difference in others’ lives.

Dear Annie: I've had a HUGE sweet tooth all my life. I have also always been very active, and I eat healthy foods. However, I'm nervous that this is not enough to balance my intake of sugary goodies. Now that I'm older, I realize that I can't keep eating so many sweets. Diabetes is common in my family, and my grandfather passed away from it when he was 46. Other members of my family have early stages of diabetes, and I am nervous that I will have it when I'm older, too, even though I eat healthy and exercise. What are the best alternatives to eating sweets? You rock! -- Sweet Tooth Dear Sweet Tooth: I'm sorry about your grandfather. You are very wise to begin to think of ways to curb your sweet tooth. Too much sugar not only can lead to diabetes but a whole host of other health problems. The good news is that you are not alone. Craving sweets is an evolutionary behavior that kept our ancestors safe from eating poi-

sonous plants. Some healthier alternatives to sugar are maple syrup, dark chocolate, honey and fruit. After eating these natural alternatives, my guess is that if you tried to go back to processed sugar, you would think it tasted too sweet. While you're weaning yourself off of sugary treats, consider trying sugar-free candies. They can help satisfy your use for sweets without all the sugar. Best of luck, and congratulations on putting your health first. We only get one body; taking care of it is one of the most important things we can do. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to "Big City Drinker" and wanted to share that they are not alone in wondering if they've become an alcoholic through being in and around a bar scene so often. During my graduate college years, I worked at a bar and found myself struggling with the same situation. I was lucky to have friends who noticed I was going downhill and would call me out on it. It's still something I have to keep a close eye

on, even though I don't work in a bar anymore. I found that, for me, the bar was a familiar place where I felt all my friends were. I wanted to stay with these friends and coworkers and blow off steam after being treated poorly by patrons on many occasions. After some time, it was hard to separate in my mind my friends from the bar. Eventually, however, I found that the true friends stuck by me as I gradually chose to be "boring" and go home instead of hanging out until 1 or 2 in the morning. Best of luck to "Big City Drinker." Many of us out here have felt something similar to what you feel. -- Fellow Bar Friend Dear Fellow Bar Friend: Great work in recognizing that the bar lifestyle was not working for you. Your letter brings up a very important point; namely, that your true friends stuck by you when you went home early. Who wants fake friends? By recognizing that late-night drinking isn't working for you anymore, you will feel better both in your body and in your soul.
