Future Construction Projects Considered
TRENTON R-9 BOARD
Architecture RFQs Sought
Construction of a performing arts center and renovation work are among future projects being considered by the Trenton R-9 School Board, which on Tuesday night voted to seek a request for qualification for architectural services. On a vote of 7-0, board members agreed to seek the RFQ, which would be due at the district office no later than 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3. Seeking the RFQ does not commit the board to any project, however, if members vote to accept one of the bids after they are received, the firm chosen would be asked to come up with designs that would include four projects, including construction of a performing arts center, which would connect the TMS/THS complex to the music building, as well as renovation work in the Rissler School office, the C.F. Russell Stadium restroom/concession stand/locker room and the TMS/THS Library/Media Center. Superintendent Dan Wiebers noted that all four projects would address one of the goals the district has in its Comprehensive School Improvement Plan of providing and maintaining appropriate instructional resources, support services and function, and safe facilities. During the August board meeting, Wiebers told members that the district would be eligible for a no-tax increase levy vote in 2019, when bonds are paid off for the middle school project.
Park Board OKs Bids
If the board chooses to move ahead, voters would be asked as early as April 2019 to continue the current debt service levy of 90 cents, with those funds being used to pay for projects under consideration. A 4/7ths majority would be needed for such an issue to be approved. Wiebers estimated around $6 to $7 million would be available if voters would agree to continue the levy. The board reviewed, then approved, the board of education goals, which is done on a yearly basis as part of the CSIP Plan revision. There are five goals on the list, which did not change from last year. The goals include develop and enhance quality programs to improve performance an enable students to meet their personal, academic and career goals; recruit, attract, develop and retain highly qualified staff; provide and maintain appropriate instructional resources, support services and function, and safe facilities; promote, facilitate and enhance parent, student and community involvement; and govern the local education agency (R-9 School District) in an efficient and effective manner. The board was told about four scholarships being made available to THS seniors this year, including the Foundation Trust of THS Schol-

CITY COUNCIL 10% Suggested
Mayor Suggests Rate Decrease
Members of the Trenton City Council’s Utility Committee will consider a request from Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue to reduce electric rates following a discussion at Monday night’s council meeting. Citing financial data from Trenton Municipal Utilities, Dr. McHargue asked for a 10 percent reduction in electric rates beginning with the next bill and then look at reducing those rates another 5 percent the next month. Based on current rates, a 10 percent reduction would result in approximately $900,000 less in monthly revenues received in the electric department. The mayor quoted figures showing $3.5 million in the electric department’s unrestricted fund while the wastewater department’s unrestricted fund is showing $3 million. The water department fund, according to Dr. McHargue, is at $2.2 million. TMU Comptroller Rosetta Marsh noted that the utility is required to keep certain balances available to cover bond indebtedness, which is the reason for the large amount in the water and wastewater department. The city currently has around $13 million of bond indebtedness for water and wastewater projects and a rate study done by the city a few years ago indicated the city’s need to increase those rates to meet the bond requirements. As for the electric department, Mrs. Marsh noted the $3.5 million represents around five months of operating expenses, adding that

Week 4
Putnam County @ Trenton
Will Homecoming Be Cure For ’Dogs?
There are no magic cures in high school football, but the Trenton Bulldogs, ailing from three-straight losses to start the 2018 season, are hoping homecoming will be the power source needed to jump start the team and begin to reverse its fortunes. “This week has been good for our boys,� Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell said. “To be honest, even if it wasn’t homecoming week I think our kids’ spirits would be good. In all, this conference is still wide open and we have a chance to win six games. These kids understand that and it speaks to their character. They keep working hard. I truly believe good things are to come.� Also helping Trenton will be the opponent. Though no one can be overlooked when you are 0-3, Putnam County (1-2) - at least record-wise - is a tier lower than the opponents Trenton has dealt with over the past three weeks. Then there is history, which is also on Trenton’s side. Putnam County hasn’t defeated Trenton one time in over a decade. Putnam County has a new coach this season as well. Dave Cavanah stepped down following last season and Clyde Bondy has taken over. Bondy has been with the Midgets for the past 16 seasons, serving in roles ranging from position coach to offensive and defensive coordinator. He now takes the reigns as the program’s head coach for the first time, however. “(Putnam County) is running more of an option-style offense like we did last year,� Boswell said. “They are a little more different in that they aren’t afraid to spread defenses out and throw the ball around. Levi Fowler is a really good quarterback that

can beat you with his arm and feet.� The Midgets’ season has been a mixed bag. In week one, Putnam handled LeBlond fairly easily, limiting the Golden Eagles to just 202 yards of total offense. In week two, however, South Shelby’s Brock Wood ran for 205 yards and four touchdowns on his own. The Cardinals had 364 yards rushing total as Putnam County was handed a 44-20 loss. Week three saw Putnam County’s defense regain its form, but the Midgets were shut out, falling 12-0 to South Harrison. “I think it will all hinge on our offensive line and quarterback play,� Boswell said. “Our offensive line has been able to get movement on our last two opponents so I expect they will continue to do the same. As for Sam (Schilling), he will be starting his fourth game at quarterback and continues to show signs of improvement. He gets more and more confident each practice and gains a better understanding of what (Assistant) Coach (Wes) Croy is trying to do. Ultimately, if we take care of the football this Friday we feel confident that we can do some really good things offensively. I truly believe it is only a matter of time until this offense takes off and starts putting up big numbers against people.� The Bulldogs and Midgets will kick off from C.F. Russell Stadium in Trenton at 7 o’clock. A pre-game tailgate presented by the Trenton High School FCCLA and FBLA will be held at the Eastside Park shelterhouse south of the stadium. The event begins at 5 o’clock and is an eat-what-you-want, pay-what-you-want event.

Quick Look At The Putnam COunty Midgets
Head Coach: Clyde Bondy, 17th year at Putnam County, 1st as head coach 2018 Record: 1-2, 0-1 GRC Last Week: Lost 12-0 to South Harrison at home The Midgets tested a Grand River Conference frontrunner in the first week of conference play, falling by just two touchdowns to South Harrison. Putnam County wasn’t able to score on Assistant Coach Erik Coffey’s South Harrison defense, however. The Midgets, after opening the season with a 26-12 win over LeBlond, have now lost two straight. Like Trenton, the Midgets have not yet reached the 30point plateau in a game this season. Who To Watch: Levi Fowler, Sr. (5-10, 165), QB #4 Quarterback Levi Fowler is the trigger man for the Putnam County offense. Expect him to be the go to guy for offense from the Midgets. Fowler has throwing abilities, but it is his legs that will do the most damage for the Putnam County offense. Trenton will need to have eyes on number 4 all night. Who To Watch: Tony Bondy, Jr. (5-8, 175), LB #15 Bondy had a team-high 19 tackles last week in Putnam County’s loss to South Harrison. Bondy is the player Trenton needs to steer clear of when the Bulldogs have the ball. As his 19 tackles last week would suggest, however, Bondy has a nose for the ball.
Cameron Tennis Tournament
Gilham, Gott Net Medals In Cameron
The Trenton High School girls tennis team was in tournament action on Wednesday, competing at the Cameron Tennis Tournament. The individual tournament saw two Bulldogs in singles play and two Bulldog teams in the doubles bracket. Leading the way for Trenton was the doubles team of Emma Gilham and Lexi Gott. The duo scored back-to-back wins to start the day, vaulting the Trenton tandem into the semifinals. The team defeated a Savannah duo in the opener 8-3 and handled a Warrensburg team 8-5 in the second round. In the semifinals, though, a team from
Platte County proved to be too much as Gilham and Gott fell 8-6. That put the team in the third-place match where an 86 loss relegated the Trenton team to fourth place - a finish that earned the two players a medal. Trenton’s other doubles team in action was the duo of Kendall Crowley and Morgan Dolan, which was 0-2 on the day with losses of 8-2 and 9-8 with a 7-2 tiebreaker. In singles action, Elle Neal picked up an 8-4 win between losses of 8-2 and 8-5 and Latorrie Johnson was 0-2 with losses of 8-0 and 8-1. “It was a beautiful day for tennis,� Trenton Coach Tammy Ockenfels said.

Results from that dual can be found online at www. republican-times. com. The Bulldogs will hit the courts again next Tuesday, traveling to St. Joseph for a dual with the Lafayette Irish. First serves are scheduled for 4 p.m. for both varsity and junior varsity action.
Gallatin Tournament, Richmond Tournament
Gass, Henson Score Medals In Gallatin
It was a busy two-day stretch for the Trenton girlss golf team as the Bulldogs traveled to the Gallatin Tournament on Tuesday and the Richmond Tournament on Wednesday. At Gallatin, Trenton carded a team score of 493, good for fourth-place in a field of 10 schools. Stanberry ran away with the team title, carding a 382, while Worth County and Maysville rounded out the top three just ahead of Trenton with scores of 456 and 483 respectively. Helping propel Trenton into the top half of the field were the performances of Werthen Gass and Maci Henson. Gass was third individually, carding a score of 97 after nine-hole
splits of 50 and 47. Henson, meanwhile, posted a score of 109, using nine-hole marks of 55 and 54 to play her way into the top 10 and earn a medal. Behind that duo, Oakley Madden carded a 123. She opened the day with a frontnine 66, but shaved nine strokes off her score on the back, going for a 57. Josie Chumbley rounded out the team score for the Bulldogs with a 164 and Mari Atup was also in action for Trenton, carding a 167. “Maci had a real good day,� Trenton Golf Coach Travis Mullenix said. “She was able to post two nine-hole scores in the mid 50’s and earn a medal. It was nice to see her finish well and enjoy a little success.
Oakley struggled on the front but really played well on the back. We need to find a way to get her warmed up a little bit quicker. Werthen didn’t strike the ball particularly well, but was still able to finish third. That shows how good she is that she can struggle and still finish top five.� Richmond Tournament On Wednesday at the Richmond Tournament, Trenton saw a lot of larger schools. The Bulldogs only took their three more experienced golfers to the meet. Gass again paced Trenton, carding a 98, good for a 19thplace finish. Gass started on the back nine, carding a 53, but bounced back on the front nine with a 45.
Behind Gass, Madden shot a 105 with nine-hole scores of 53 and 52 and Henson finished at a 108 with a front-nine 55 and back nine 53. “It's a very tough tournament with some bigger schools that aren’t in our class when we head into district play,� Mullenix said. “I think there were only four golfers from our class that finished higher than Werthen, 13 ahead of Oakley and 15 ahead of Maci, so I was very pleased with our overall day on the course.� Trenton’s golf team returns to dual play on Monday, playing host to Putnam County at the Riverside Country Club in Trenton. Tee time for the dual is scheduled for 4 p.m.

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL
Hamilton Hornets 4, Trenton Bulldogs 3
Sloppy Play Results In First Loss For Trenton Softball
Monday night was an unpleasant reminder for the Trenton High School softball team of just how costly errors can be. It was also a reminder of how last season ended. In a game eerily familiar to last year’s Class 2, District 15 championship game, Trenton was bit by errant play and succumbed to a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Penney (Hamilton) Hornets. It was another one-run loss to Penney, which defeated Trenton 2-1 in last year’s district title tilt, on the same field - Griffin Field in Trenton. As was the case in the previous meeting, an error by Trenton in the top of the first inning came back to
bite the Bulldogs. McKayla Blackburn, making her first start since the Cameron Tournament, issued a basesloaded walk and a single to center put Hamilton up 2-0 before Trenton ever sent a batter to the plate. Trenton would get one run back on an RBI single by Salem Croy in the bottom of the frame, however, Hamilton’s one-run edge would hold up through the next three innings. Blackburn had knocked the rust off after the first frame and cruised through the second, third and fourth innings without issue. In the fifth, however, the defense faltered behind her. Errors by Trenton in the fifth and sixth led to a run in each frame, mov-

ing the deficit from a single run to 41. Trenton loaded the bases with just one out in the bottom of the fifth, but Hamilton escaped the jam without Trenton closing any ground on the scoreboard. That turned out to be a big spot for the Hornets as Trenton pushed a single run home in both the sixth and seventh frames to draw within one run again. Chandler Lynch drove home a run in the sixth and Sidney Lynch drove in the run in the seventh. That was it, however, as Hamilton held on for the non-conference victory. “I felt like we were tight, playing
not to lose for the first few innings,” Trenton Head Coach John Cowling said. “We got our fire back in the last three innings and started having some good at bats. Our defense and baserunning let us down at key times, though. We just have to put this behind us and be ready to play tomorrow.” Blackburn took the loss, despite allowing just one earned run. She yielded seven hits in the game, three of which came in the opening frame, and struck out two in the seven innings of work. At the plate, Taylor Richman was two-for-four with a run scored and Croy, Sidney Lynch and Chandler

Following First Loss, Trenton Roars Past South Harrison
On Tuesday afternoon at Trenton High School, a softball team eager to put the fresh memory of a 4-3 defeat the night before firmly in the past, boarded a bus bound for Bethany. Trenton’s eagerness to eradicate the previous night’s debacle showed early and often at Memorial Park in Bethany as the Bulldogs blasted South Harrison to the tune of a 17-0, five-inning victory. “I thought we bounced back really well,” Trenton Head Coach John Cowling said. “I liked our at bats a lot tonight. I felt like we were hitting line drives instead of a lot of pop ups. We hit a lot of balls hard.” Trenton jumped on the home squad right off the bat
with Ainsley Tolson doubling to lead off the game and Mykah Hurley driving her home with a single. Five pitches into the game, Trenton held a 1-0 lead. Salem Croy blasted a tworun home run with one out and Trenton held a 3-0 advantage after the opening frame. Tolson led off the second inning with another double and, after Hurley was hit by a pitch, Maci Moore doubled to score both runners. Moore scored two batters later on an RBI double by Taylor Richman. The onslaught continued in the third inning where Moore hooked a three-run home run around the left-field foul pole. By the time the game reached the fourth frame, Trenton had

pushed the lead to 13-0. The Bulldogs added a run in the fourth and a two-run home run by Ainsley Tolson, Trenton’s third long ball of the contest, highlighted a three-run fifth. All the while Trenton crushed the ball offensively, the Bulldog defense collared South Harrison. The home team’s best shot at scoring came in the bottom of the fifth when a South Harrison runner reached third base with only one out. Trenton was able to keep the shutout intact, however, as Tolson struck out two batters on either side of a walk to end the game. Moore finished three-forfive at the dish with a home run, three runs scored and five RBIs while Tolson was threefor-four with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored and two RBIs. Mykah Hurley was two-for-three with four runs scored and two RBIs and Croy was two-for-three with a double, home run, two runs scored and three RBIs. Taylor Richman was three-for-three with two doubles, a run scored and two RBIs. Chandler Lynch added a two-hit night and Sidney Lynch and Gracyn Rongey had one hit each to round out Trenton’s 17-hit barrage. “I thought after the fifth inning (against Hamilton) we started to make some good adjustments at the plate,” Cowling said. “We carried that into tonight. We really didn’t chase a lot of pitches and we just kept having good at bat after good at bat.” Tolson threw all five innings, allowing no runs, three hits and three walks while striking out four. Through four Grand River
Conference games now, Trenton has yet to allow a run and the Bulldogs have outscored their conference opposition 34-0. To date, Trenton has played a total of 20 Grand River Conference games, including conference championship games. In those 20 games, Trenton is 20-0 with 17 shutouts and has outscored its GRC opponents 233-7. Trenton now sits at 8-1 overall on the season. The Bulldogs returned to the diamond on Thursday, playing host to the Polo Panthers. See www.republican-times.com for results from that game. The Bulldogs’ next action comes on Monday as the Bulldogs host the Lawson Cardinals in a 5 p.m. match-up. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity fell just short in their bid for win number one on the season, falling 4-3. Trenton scored all three of its runs in the fourth inning. Three-straight singles from Teya Cooksey, Chloe Harris and Rongey started the rally with Cooksey scoring on Rongey’s hit. Trenton got two more runs on bases-loaded walks to tie the game at 3-3. South Harrison put up a deciding run in the home half of the fourth, however, and Trenton could not battle back, falling by the single run. “Our defense played great tonight,” Trenton JV Coach Kameron Cool said. “We keep seeing improvement, but we are ready to take that next step and start getting some wins.” Trenton’s JV fell to 0-4 on the season. The JV will host Polo on Thursday and Lawson on Monday.
Lynch all had one hit and an RBI. Ainsley Tolson, Mykah Hurley, Maci Moore and Lexi Whitaker all had one hit each as well in the loss as the Bulldogs outhit the Hornets 9-7. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity team also fell to Hamilton, dropping to 0-3 overall on the season with an 11-3 loss. Trenton struggled to keep pace offensively with a hard-hitting Hornet team that put up 11 runs in just four innings. The Bulldogs would get a triple and run scored from Teya Cooksey and RBIs from Delaney Franklin and Kammi Phillips in the contest.

JV Football Team Falls 26-14
The Trenton High School junior varsity football team put forth an improved effort on Monday in Gallatin, but the end result was another loss as the Bulldogs fell 26-14. Trenton led 8-6 at halftime after a 25-yard touchdown run by Tyler Siemer tied the game and Nate Burkeybile’s two-point run put the Bulldogs in front. In the second half, however, Gallatin scored three straight touchdowns to bury the Bulldogs’ hopes of victory. Trenton scored the final points of the game on a 73-yard run by Siemer in the fourth quarter. The two-point run failed giving the game its final score of 26-14. “Our kids are starting to get it figured out,” Trenton JV Coach Greg Dalrymple said. “They are learning to play harder each time out. We hurt ourselves with missed assignments up front and a couple of fumbles in the third quarter. Monday night was a close game and I am proud of our kids.” Trenton’s JV football team returns to action next Monday, playing host to the Putnam County junior varsity at C.F. Russell Stadium.

The Trenton Middle School football team was at Gallatin on Monday night, falling 50-14. Both of Trenton’s touchdowns were scored by Jarek Habelitz, who reached the end zone on runs of 55 and 80 yards. He finished the game with 175 yards rushing. Michael Nyakoojo had a two-point run for the Bulldogs. Trenton’s defense forced one turnover when Hunter McAtee forced a fumble that was covered up by Coleman Griffin. “I’m proud of our boys’ effort, especially in the first half,” TMS Head Coach Jon Guthrie said. “We moved the ball well several times, but couldn’t complete drives. We drove the ball 75 yards to start the game and got stopped on the 10. We need to continue to work on finishing drives and sustaining blocks.” Trenton’s next game will be next Monday when the Bulldogs travel to Putnam County. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
TMS Volleyball Team Wins
The Trenton Middle School volleyball team was on the road on Tuesday night, traveling to Plattsburg to take on the Tigers. The A and B teams combined to play three sets and Trenton won all three behind some strong serving from Ava Simpson, 25-16, 26-14, 15-5. The middle school volleyball team was at home on Thursday, playing host to Chillicothe. Trenton returns to the court on Saturday, as the team will compete in the Cameron Eighth Grade Tournament. That event begins at 9 a.m.
Grundy Falls To Winston
The Grundy R-5 High School softball team fell 17-11 to Winston on Tuesday night in Galt. Emily Otto had four hits, including two doubles, and two RBIs, while Anna Milazzo had four hits in the loss as well. Grundy is at the HDC Conference Tournament in Bethany on Saturday.

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
Festival Just Around The Corner
It doesn’t seem possible, but the 35th annual Missouri Day Festival is just five weeks away. Plans have been under way for several months in planning this year’s event, which is set for Friday, Oct. 19 to Sunday, Oct. 21. Opening ceremonies will be held on Thursday, Oct. 18. The theme for this year’s festival is “Hometown Heritage.” As always, a variety of activities are planned throughout the three-day event, highlighted by the Saturday morning parade, sponsored by the Diane Lowrey Trenton Rotary Club. The parade will feature performances by bands from throughout the state who will also be competing in the Trenton Marching Band Festival, which is traditionally held in conjunction with the Missouri Day Festival. Although the final count won’t be known until after the Sept. 21 entry deadline, officials anticipate a large number of schools bringing their bands to take part in this annual event. Entries for the parade are being accepted and can be made through the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce website, www.trentonmochamber.com, clicking on the “Missouri Day Festival” tab and then on the “Parade Information” tab. The entry can then be filled out online and sent directly to the Rotary Club. Any Rotary Club member can also be contacted for assistance. There is no cost for most entries into the parade, although a donation is suggested to help the club with expenses for prizes. Political-related entries will be charged a $25 entry fee. Many other events are scheduled at this year’s festival, which kicks off on Friday night with the THS football game at C.F. Russell Stadium and a baby show at the livestock pavillion of the Rock Barn area. The flea market will be open that evening, along with merchandise and food vendors, and will remain open throughout the weekend. A car show and cornhole tournament, sponsored by the Trenton Elks Club, is planned on Sunday in downtown Trenton and the Grundy County Museum will be open on both Saturday and Sunday. Yard, window and pumpkin decorating, along with youth coloring and drawing contests, are also planned. A complete schedule of events will be included in the Wednesday, Oct. 19 edition of the Green Hills Weekly and the Republican-Times will also have stories about the festival up until the time of the event as well as information and photos following the conclusion of activities.
Alumni Weekend Special Time Letters to the Editor
To The Editor: The Trenton High School alumni reunion weekend has come and gone and once again alums from across the United States and beyond returned home to renew old friendships and recall special times at THS. On behalf of the THS Class of 1966, we would like to express appreciation to each and every former homecoming queen of THS for allowing us to recognize them once again with our special alumni weekend window display. Never did we dream that we would have such wonderful cooperation from the ladies and their families and enjoy so many special conversations as we gathered photos, game footballs, crowns, formals and lots of other special memorabilia. We received so many memorable items that we could not display them all. It was our way of saluting a
very important part of being a THS alum – the memories of homecoming. With the wonderful cooperation from Kathi Brewer and Howard’s Department Store, we were able to capture just a bit of the homecoming spirit. And we have been allowed to keep the display visible through this year’s homecoming week. The Class of 1966 was not recognized as the winning window participant, but we were able to share our memories of homecoming and we hope that many of you also recalled how special homecoming can be at Trenton High School and what a privilege it has been to be a THS graduate. We look forward to sharing another window display next year and hope that other classes, school organizations past and present, and even merchants will want to take part and share the importance of the THS Alumni Association and what it means to be a Trenton Bulldog. THS Class of 1966 Steve Maxey, chairman

What Others Are Saying.... Support The Gas Tax
You don't have to be an economist or a civil engineer to figure out where the road we are on will lead — nowhere.
Guest Editorials
Missouri has nearly 34,000 miles of state highway and more than 10,000 state bridges (the seventhlargest state highway system in the nation), yet our gas tax — 17 cents per gallon — is the fourth lowest in the nation. It hasn't been raised in two decades. The result is what you read about on today's front page: Missouri has the dubious honor of ranking among the worst states in the nation for structurally deficient bridges. Thirteen percent of our bridges have some problem with either the decking, the superstructure or substructure. And, Jasper County ranks as one of the worst counties in Missouri with structurally deficient state bridges. The simple fact is that we have ignored infrastructure investment — of all kinds — for too long. We have the chance to make matters right and vote for a 10-cent increase in the gas tax that will be phased in, starting with 2.5 cents per year in 2019, topping out at 27 cents in 2022. If approved, the tax would generate nearly $300 million more per year for roads and bridges once it is fully implemented. Missouri's Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe was recently in Neosho making a pitch to support Proposition D, the gas tax increase that will come before voters on the November ballot. "This is not a Democrat or Republican issue," Kehoe said. "This is an infrastructure investment issue." We agree. Democrats or Republicans, liberal or conservatives, it doesn't matter, we all drive the same roads, cross the same bridges, and we all reap the rewards of infrastructure investment. According to the Federal Highway Administration, each dollar spent on road, highway and bridge improvements returns $5.20 in the form of lower vehicle maintenance costs, decreased delays, reduced fuel consumption, improved safety, lower road and bridge maintenance costs, and reduced emissions as a result of improved traffic flow. "I believe that infrastructure is the key to economic development," Kehoe said. "I hope that this goes through, not because I love taxes or because I want to tax you more, but because I think for the safety of our families and for the best of our economy it is a great step forward in that process." We urge everyone to support Proposition D in November. — Joplin Globe

Unrest, Staffing Linked
Nearly four months removed from the events of May 12, there still is a lot to digest about the riot that heavily damaged Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri. Clearly, the state Department of Corrections has struggled to return the prison to normal operations. And no doubt, these struggles have led to hardships for many imprisoned offenders who, in this instance, were innocent of wrongdoing. It is important to understand long-running problems of understaffing led up the riot — in fact they were cited in grievances by the protesting inmates who objected to reductions in programs and recreation time. The same problem also has contributed to the slow pace of restoring programs and privileges; it is known correctional officers have feared for their safety in light of the understaffing. This issue goes to the highest levels of the Department of Corrections, to the General Assembly and the governor. The system persistently is understaffed — reportedly currently by 11 percent — and this is one result. As of last week the department said it was continuing to move, in phases, to end the summer-long lockdown; was restoring some recreation time that had been cut; and had resumed hot meal service and serving meals in the dining hall. Normal visitation schedules are to resume later this week. Should these things have happened more quickly? Could they have happened sooner if state authorities had allocated additional funding or taken other steps to more effectively recruit staff, compensate them better and improve retention? If all of these things had been done in the months and years leading up to this spring, would that have prevented the uprising in the first place? These thoughts should not be read to excuse the actions of a small number of inmates at Crossroads who rioted for six hours and did massive damage to the kitchen, dining areas, food storage area, offices, prison factories, tools and machinery, as well as security doors. While just 78 of the about 1,500 inmates contributed to the destruction, all inmates have been penalized in some manner by the loss of recreation time and other privileges. Family members and inmate advocates have complained, started a petition campaign calling for the removal of the warden and discussed bringing a lawsuit alleging inhumane conditions. They are within their rights to pursue all of these avenues. Still, the question will linger whether the state's failures in providing adequate staffing for Crossroads should be the chief concern. -- St. Joseph News-Press

Switching To Medicare
If you are about to turn age 65 and have private health coverage, you should plan to switch to Medicare. Otherwise, you can keep your plan beyond age 65, but you may no longer qualify for tax credits that offset the cost of marketplace plans, which may set you up to pay back thousands of dollars worth of subsidies. However, failing to sign up for Medicare during your initial enrollment period may trigger penalties for late enrollment. Think about switching to Medicare several months before your 65th birthday. It is important to sign up during the initial enrollment period, which is the seven-month period that begins three months before the month you turn 65 and ends three months after your birth month. NOTE: If you are dropping your private health coverage in favor of Medicare, notify your marketplace plan at least 14 days before you want coverage to end. Also make sure to coordinate the end date of the marketplace plan with the effective date of Medicare.

COWS WINTER ON FALL GRASS TREATED BEFORE RAIN
“I told ya so!” I asked Craig Roberts, MU Extension forage specialist if he wanted to do such a story. For many farmers fall rains came in time to perk up droughty pastures, just as he had said. His yearly advice for winter stockpile pasture is to add nitrogen by Aug. 15. That fertility boosts growth when fall rains start, which often come Sept. 1. After a big drought did so much damage, some farmers were slow to add costs. But, rains started a bit early. Those who didn’t apply fertility lost days on what can be a short fall season. I’m not bragging, but my news release went out in time to use. “I wrote ya so.” I believe in that fall treatment. Unlike young forage specialists, I’ve been around to see it happen right on schedule. Applying fall nitrogen makes a better bet than going to the casino to bet against the boat. Cool-season grasses have two peaks of production, spring and fall. That in-between summer slump can be a doozy. It was in 2012 and 2018. The 2012 drought ended with hurricane rain on Sept. 1. The grass grew. More amazing, a soybean crop came
NW Missouri Horticulture
by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist DROUGHT-STRESSED COMPARISONS
When we consider this year’s drought, there is a natural tendency to compare it to past droughts. Our most recent drought was in 2012. Is this one as bad? There are many ways to compare droughts. I think in many ways, our drought this year is not as bad as 2012, but in some ways, it is worse. Local comparisons are difficult to make because of the location factor… some areas in some years may receive more or less than other places. Therefore, you have to look at the overall trends. On my drought web page (http://extension.missouri.edu/n whort/drought.aspx), I have several comparisons that you can see. One of the first projects I decided to do was to create a
video comparing the drought monitors for each year, starting in January. You can see that we started out 2012 in northwest Missouri in pretty good shape. It wasn’t until the DM of May 22, 2012, that some northwest Missouri counties even became abnormally dry. However, we were already abnormally dry when we entered 2018. This is because the last half of 2017 had experienced below normal rainfall, with areas abnormally dry or even in drought from time to time. So the soil profile was already moisture deficient when we entered 2018. Another project I have on my web page is to take photos to compare the same locations at the same time of the month in 2012 and 2018.This, of course, can be wildly variable, depending on whether an area received
THIS IS THE YEAR TO EARLY WEAN
back to make huge yields. On the other hand corn can’t use fall rain. It makes harvest hard. Doing stories in advance of Sept. 17 field day at MU Thompson Farm, Spickard, I visit farm manager Jon Schreffler. This week he had another rain as we talked. He’d spread more rock on drives so feed trucks wouldn’t get stuck. He has the best grass for this time of year he’s seen in decades. Producers with short grass must come to see grass. Also, he’ll have heifer AI news and more. As a change to get more farmers with off-farm jobs to come they’ve moved the program later in the day. Wagon tours start at 4 p.m. Register earlier. Management pays at Thompson Farm. I hope more beef farmers learn what Jon does. With advice from the MU Extension beef nutritionist, Thompson herd has been fed. A cow gets 20 pounds of hay and 10 pounds of soyhulls. (I did a story also on low-cost byproducts for rations.) There’s more. The females were time-bred early before the heat waves. Elsewhere in late bred herds up to 20 percent of cows confirmed pregrainfall or not in each year. Showers are usually spotty. However, it was still an interesting project. While we have experienced some hot days in 2018, it is not nearly as hot as 2012. Much of the problem in 2012 came not only from the drought, but also from the very high temperatures. This increased evapotranspiration rates and, thus, the water demand for plants of all kinds, including trees. While high ET rates certainly reduced the amount of soil moisture very quickly, the soil moisture profile was actually in fairly good shape until later in 2012. In contrast, our soil moisture started out in poor shape in 2018, since we had been abnormally dry throughout the last half of 2017. We can also compare the situation with our city reservoirs in both years. Several cities have been hit hard, including Cameron and Hamilton. I discussed the situation with the water plant for Cameron. They have a reservoir that they pump from when the situation in their main reservoir becomes critical. In 2012-2013, the level of that auxiliary reservoir still had 9 inches of water left at the lowest point. This year, they have already reached the lowest point they can pump from. In other words, it’s lower. So is the drought of 2018 better than the drought of 2012? Looking at trees, and the amount of heat, I would say we are better off this year. However considering the soil profile deficiency we started out with in 2018, it has potential to be worse than 2012. It just depends on how soon dependable rains start again, and how much we get. And from the situation with city reservoirs, we are definitely worse off this year than in 2012. Another comparison will be crop yields in both years. That comparison will have to wait until the numbers come in.

nant earlier come up empty after heat stress. High heat ends pregnancies. The MU dairy herd at Columbia came up 25 percent short. Cows abort to protect themselves. If producers don’t know their empty cows, they’ll be feeding freeloaders. Cow herds demand more intense care as the climate warms. A lot of pastures were ruined by overgrazing this past year. Adding nitrogen on them may not be enough. Thompson Farm confined different herds to five-acre sacrifice pastures. Cows didn’t walk all over, nipping grass as it regrew a fraction of an inch. Ungrazed pastures have enough leaf and root left to make use of added fertility and fall rain. Pasture management becomes as vital as cow management. A new aspect of the Field Day will be Eric Bailey, the beef nutritionist at MU Extension. He comes from New Mexico, so our drought stricken pastures show promise. Out there stocking rates run 3 cows per section. He likes Missouri grass. Part of his management plan cuts the number of mouths to feed. Cows not carrying calves have no place on any farm. Calves at Thompson Farm were weaned early this year. That gave relief to cows, lowering need for feed. There’s more to be told at Sept. 17. Send ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com.
Thompson Research Center Field Day Set
Eric Bailey has hit the ground running since he joined the University of Missouri last year as an assistant professor in the Division of Animal Sciences and a state beef Extension specialist. Bailey has been a regular at the Agricultural Research Centers’ field days since he came to MU in June 2017, speaking and engaging with farmers, producers and cattlemen across the state. “I love it,” Bailey said. “It’s been fantastic so far. I’ve enjoyed my time at the various field days, too. Those events provide a great opportunity to meet with cattlemen to see what they’re dealing with on a day-to-day basis. I’ve been able to build some great relationships through these events.” Bailey will speak twice during the upcoming Thompson Research Center field day, which will run from 3:30-8 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17, at the Center near Spickard. This year’s field day will feature a short wagon tour, highlighting a bit of the Thompson Research Center, before the presentations begin. The wagon tour will begin at 4 p.m. Presentations begin at 5 p.m. The event, as well as a meal, is free and open to the public. With the drought-like conditions throughout Missouri, Bailey has been asked numerous questions related to feeding cattle throughout the rest of the year. The drought has slowed forage growth and quality, and cattle owners have had to feed hay earlier than normal. Bailey’s first talk will take place around 5:45 p.m. and focus on backgrounding calves to increase weight during the drought. Backgrounding is the stage after weaning where calves rely on forages to increase weight and immunity to diseases before entering the feedlot. Calves are normally weaned around 205 to 240 days after birth. After a free meal at 6 p.m., Bailey will present on the options for feeding cows when hay is scarce around 6:45 p.m. There have been several comparisons between this year’s drought and the one in 2012. Bailey said a major difference is the corn market. Corn is 2012 was $7 a bushel. Corn is around $3.50 bushel now. “Even with a round bale of hay ranging in price from $85 to $95 currently, corn prices are vastly different than they were in 2012,” Bailey said. “There were no good options for extra feed sources in 2012.” Bailey received his bachelor’s degree from West Texas A&M in animal science. He received his master’s degree and doctorate from Kansas State University. Bailey is a native of Santa Rosa, New Mexico, and has a strong agriculture and cattle background. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to present at the Thompson Research Center field day again,” Bailey said.
Women In Ag Workshop Nov. 2-3
Missouri Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn gives the welcome at the sixth annual Pearls of Production: Women in Agriculture workshop Nov. 2-3 in Columbia. Chinn, a fifth-generation farmer from Clarence, manages a farrow-to-finish operation with her husband and children. The Chinns also have a small cow-calf herd and family feed mill and grow corn, soybean and alfalfa. She serves as a leader in many agribusiness groups. University of Missouri Extension sponsors the two-day hands-on workshop to reach women who are playing larger roles and making key decisions in farm livestock production, says MU Extension state swine specialist Marcia Shannon. She says this year’s event focuses on farm biosecurity. Chinn kicks off the event 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, at the Stoney Creek Inn in Columbia. Austin and Dustin Stanton open up their poultry operation in Centralia from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Dinner follows. Stanton Brothers Eggs is the largest independent free-range chicken operation in the nation, according to USDA. They also produce
honey ice cream. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg toured the Missouri Century Farm in 2017. Speakers include Bill Pittenger, poultry program manager for the Missouri Department of Agriculture. He will give an update on farm biosecurity. On Saturday, Nov. 3, Pearls of Production offers hands-on breakout session from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Beef reproduction specialists will cover anatomy, tract scoring and semen evaluation. Beef nutrition specialists talk about interpreting hay test results, choosing supplemental feeds and fetal programming. MU Extension safety and health specialist Karen Funkenbusch will cover shop safety, tractor handling and horsepower, and how to use tools properly for better ergonomics. Shannon said farm biosecurity is another emerging issue that MU Extension specialists will cover. Register at bit.ly/2NgJ9K1. Early registrants receive a free T-shirt. Early registration ends Oct. 12.
Few Changes In Cash Rental Rates
Cash rental rates for Missouri cropland changed little, according to a newly released survey from University of Missouri Extension. Pastureland rental prices ticked upward slightly. The survey helps landowners and farmers find trends in rental rates for cropland, pastureland, grain bins, farm buildings and fee hunting. The survey covered criteria such as location of land, yield potential of land, storage facilities, fencing and types of roads leading to land. Survey results were for 48,000 acres of cropland, a small portion of Missouri’s 9.8 million acres of rented agricul•WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease! Competitve Rates

tural land, according to MU Extension economist Ray Massey. USDA reports that 35 percent of Missouri farmland is rented. MU conducts the survey every three years. This was the first year that MU administered the survey electronically. Massey says the rent survey is “one piece of information that landowners and farmers can use to determine fair rates.” Other factors include supply of and demand for land in a locale, productivity of land, and market prices. “The MU guide is simply that,” he adds. “It’s a guide. Both sides in negotiations can see the rate for which farmers are renting land. It’s a starting point and should not be the sole basis for determining your rent.” Rent for row-crop land averaged $146.81 per acre with a

low of $50 and a high of $305. Irrigated row-crop land rented for about $50 per acre more than dry cropland—an average of $196.43. Good pastureland netted $40.74 per acre, with rents ranging from $12 to $100 per acre. Rent for timber pasture was the lowest, averaging $28.13 per acre.

there is no bond indebtedness for the department at this time. An electric rate study was not done at the time of the water/wastewater study. Council members Jennifer Hottes and Brad Chumbley both said they would like to see the utility committee review the issue before bringing it to the full council for a final vote. Chumbley noted that it was the council’s duty to be responsible to the public, but felt the issue needed to be visited more thoroughly by the utility committee before action was taken by the council. Mrs. Marsh also mentioned that any rate change would not be able to take place immediately due to the timeframe the city uses to generate bills. The utility committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at city hall, with the issue to be among items on the agenda. The council heard an update from North Central Missouri Development Alliance Director Micah Landes, who told about Missouri Main Street Program participation being pursued by the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association as well as efforts to become “local government certified.” Both efforts would result in money being available to help with downtown improvements. She noted that several communities that have participated in the Missouri Main Street Program have seen a “big differences” in the economic impact from their downtown area. Mrs. Landes is a former Main Street Program director at Chillicothe, which she said was greatly helped by participation in the program, seeing many of its formerly empty buildings being filled with various businesses. She noted that the TDIA recently purchased property at 905 Main St. and is in the process of renovating the structure and getting it ready for rental. The council voted to provide a letter of support for the program, which will be used by the TDIA as part of its application process once the
group is accepted into the program. Danny Stevens met with the council regarding his proposal to rent the south hangar at the airport, which was turned down at the Aug. 27 meeting. Stevens had proposed renting the hangar and office space at a cost of $300 per month and it was the only proposal received. It was noted that a proposal received prior to one submitted by Stevens was also turned down. The council said it would be seeking new proposals for use of the hangar, which formerly housed LifeFlight. In other business, the council: • approved an ordinance amending regulations regarding private swimming pools and when fencing is required. • approved an ordinance authorizing an agreement with DR Petroleum for installation of above and below ground fuel lines at the north substation at a cost of $49,785.31. • approved a bid from Asplundh to provide tree-trimming services at a cost of $114.63 per hour for a twoman crew. • approved a bid from Foster’s for a boiler expansion tank at the water treatment plant at a cost of $7,887. • rejected a bid from the Wilson Group for replacement of windows at the fire station at a cost of $22,535. A total of $6,500 had been budgeted for the work. • approved the appointment of John McCullough and Tom Stickler to the Historic Preservation Board. Stickler will represent the Planning and Zoning Commission. • was told that bids for asbestos removal for the city demolition project have been opened and will be presented to the Building and Nuisance Board at its next meeting before coming to the council for final approval. • heard updates from City Administrator Ron Urton, City Clerk Cindy Simpson, Police Chief Rex Ross and Airport Advisory Board Chairman Dyle Wilson. All votes were 6-0 with Travis Elbert and Larry Crawford absent.

County high schools in Missouri. In other action, the board: • approved continued membership in the Missouri School Boards Association at a cost of $3,479. • approved amendments to the 2018-19 school budget to reflect actual expenditures and revenues, including additional funds received that the district had not anticipated. As a result of the changes, the operational budgets (Funds 1 and 2) will be in the black by $49,033 and the total budget (Funds 1-4) will be in the red by $121,477. • approved the bus routes for the 2018-19 school year. • discussed, but took no action on changes to dates regarding when non-certified staff are paid, which is currently on the last day of the month except for November and December, when they are paid prior to vacation (Thanksgiving and Christmas) time. The current practice results in payment being made in those two months for days not yet worked and having to adjust the next month’s payment if some of the paid days are missed. • was told about emergency drills already held or planned at the elementary, middle school and high school. Up-
coming drills include tornado drills at the middle school and high school on Sept. 20 and intruder drills on Sept. 18 at the elementary school and Sept. 27 at the middle school and high school. The “Great American Shakeout” earthquake drill will be held on Oct. 18. • sought opinions from board members regarding Proposition D (raising the motor fuel tax in Missouri), which will appear on the November ballot, with that information to be submitted to the MSBA. • thanked the Foundation Trust of THS for a $1,000 donation to purchase a popcorn popper at the high school and expansion of the concrete pad at the Rissler Elementary School and thanked Citizens Bank and Trust for a $2,989.65 donation from its Bulldog Debit Card swipe program. • was reminded of criteria that is to be used to contact the superintendent’s evaluation in January. Following an executive session, the board voted to hire Briana Bentley as a special education paraprofessional at the high school. Approved as substitutes for the district were Babe Roy, Joy Farris and Jeff Berti.

THE Daily Commuter Puzzle by Jacqueline E. Mathews

Dear Annie: I have been overweight my entire life. Because of a diabetes scare a couple of years ago, I lost 50 pounds, primarily through running and modifying my diet. My self-esteem has greatly improved because I now have more energy to keep up with my kids and can go for longer walks with my husband and just overall have more energy for life. My doctor says that my cholesterol is down and my blood pressure is great. I have kept the weight off for over a year now, so I feel pretty confident that by taking the pounds off slowly, I will keep them off. Annie, I have always loved fashion. Even at my heaviest, I took great pride in my wardrobe and always bought a few expensive staple pieces that I hoped to keep forever. The problem now is that none of my expensive clothes fit. It was really over a 10-year period that I built up a beautiful wardrobe. Now it feels as if I'm starting from scratch, and it is costing a fortune. I'm afraid that if I were to hold off on buying new clothes, I would use it as an excuse to
gain weight, but if I went ahead and replaced my 10year-old wardrobe overnight, my bank account wouldn't be too thrilled. In fact, my husband has complained in the past that I spend too much money on clothes, and this could cause a major rift, which I want to avoid because we really are a close family. Also, he has been supportive and helpful in my weight loss, and I want to keep the peace. Do you have any suggestions? -From a Size 12 to a 4 Dear 12 to 4: Congratulations on your weight loss and improved health! Look at the wardrobe issue in the same way you approached your weight loss -- as an exciting challenge. Take a good look at your closet, going through all of your old clothes to find the very special pieces that you most want to keep. Take those pieces to a tailor and have them taken in. As for the others -- the clothes you're not too attached to -- you could try selling them on sites such as Poshmark and The RealReal. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Within reason, treat yourself to a few
splurges every now and then as a reward for your success. Who knows? It might motivate you even more to keep the weight off. Remember that it's a lot easier for a tailor to take clothes in than to let them out. Dear Annie: This is in response to "No More Calls for Me," who's frustrated that people she calls on the phone seem distracted and sometimes talk to other people in the room. When I wish to speak to our grown and busy sons, I usually text them first and ask whether it's a good time to talk. I am happy to say they are straight with me, so a "yes" means I get their undivided attention. And when I honor a "no," we all feel respected. -JRB in Salem, Ore. Dear JRB: This is a wise idea. A little planning and proactive communication can go a long way toward smooth relations.

Ulta keeping up with Kylie Cosmetics retailer Ulta Beauty is getting a boost from reality TV star Kylie Jenner, after it announced last week that it would begin selling Jenner’s popular makeup line in stores and online. Wall Street analysts said the deal could reverse slowing sales growth at Ulta and bring more shoppers through its doors. Ulta’s stock soared to a 52-week high on Friday. Jenner launched Kylie Cosmetics two years ago, and until now has only offered its eye shadow and Sales growth

lipstick on its own website. Jenner, part of the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” reality show family, frequently promotes her makeup on the show and via social media to her millions of followers. Morgan Stanley analysts said the line could “supercharge” Ulta’s sales growth. In its most recent quarter, sales growth at established Ulta stores slipped to 6.5 percent, down from 11.7 percent in the same period a year earlier. Ulta Beauty Inc., based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, has more than 1,100 stores.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in December of 2004 incorporated several changes in regard to local district responsibilities/requirements for the provision of services to parentally-placed private school children with disabilities.
• The term “parentally-placed private school student” refers to children placed by their parents in private, parochial or other religiously-affiliated schools or home schools.
Due to these changes in IDEA the Trenton R-IX School District will be conducting a meeting open to all officials of private schools and parents of parentally-placed private school children, including some home schooled children, within the Trenton R-IX School District. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 3 at 3:00 p.m. at S.M. Rissler Elementary in the Library. This meeting will explain how, where and by whom special education and related services can be provided for students with disabilities who are privately placed in non-public school settings within the Trenton R-IX School District. d14
Trenton R-IX School District 1607 Normal, Trenton, MO 64683
PUBLIC NOTICE
All responsible public agencies are required to locate, evaluate, and identify children with disabilities who are under the jurisdiction of the agency, regardless of the severity of the disability, including children attending private schools, children who live outside the district but are attending a private school within the district, highly mobile children, such as migrant and homeless children, children who are wards of the state, and children who are suspected of having a disability and in need of special education even though they are advancing from grade to grade. The Trenton R-IX School District assures that it will provide a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) to all eligible children with disabilities between the ages of 3 and 21 under its jurisdiction. Disabilities include autism, deaf/blindness, emotional disorders, hearing impairment and deafness, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairments, specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment/blindness and young child with a developmental delay.
The Trenton R-IX School District assures that it will provide information and referral services necessary to assist the State in the implementation of early intervention services for infants and toddlers eligible for the Missouri First Steps program.
The Trenton R-IX School District assures that personally identifiable information collected, used, or maintained by the agency for the purposes of identification, evaluation, placement or provision of FAPE of children with disabilities may be inspected and/or reviewed by their parents/guardians. Parents/guardians may request amendment to the educational record if the parent/guardian believes the record is inaccurate, misleading, or violates the privacy or other rights of their child. Parents have the right to file complaints with the U.S. Department of Education or the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education concerning alleged failures by the district to meet the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The Trenton R-IX School District has developed a Local Compliance Plan for the implementation of State Regulations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This plan contains the agency’s policies and procedures regarding storage, disclosure to third parties, retention and destruction of personally identifiable information and the agency’s assurances that services are provided in compliance with the General Education Provision Act (GEPA). This plan may be reviewed at S.M. Rissler Elementary School during school hours. This notice will be provided in native languages as appropriate.

The Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office has been called in to investigate a fire that destroyed a rural Grundy County home on Monday afternoon. According to investigator Adam Crouch of the Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office, the fire at 630 SW 20th St., has been officially classified as “suspicious” and remains under investigation. Chief Kenny Roberts of the Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District said the house was owned by Nikki Davis, who was at work when the blaze broke out. Scanner traffic during the incident indicated that the owner’s son, Stacy Davis,
reported the fire to a neighbor at around 1 p.m. Roberts said the fire marshal’s office was initially called because it was unknown if anyone was in the house. In addition to the Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District, firefighters from the Jamesport Fire Protection District provided mutual aid and the Grundy County Ambulance Service responded to the scene. Others assisting were the Trenton Fire Department, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Roberts said firefighters remained at the home until around 6 p.m.
