Consideration Of Rate Drop On Hold

TRENTON CITY COUNCIL

Utility, Administrative Committees Meet

There will be no decrease in electric rates for customers of Trenton Municipal Utilities - at least not yet - as members of the city council’s utility committee will be collecting more information before making such a decision. During a meeting on Tuesday night, the committee unanimously voted to recommend to the city council that it adopt a policy of having a minimum of three months of operating expenses available in all three of its utility funds (electric, water and wastewater) and that an electric rate study be performed. The decision was made following nearly two hours of discussion regarding utility issues, including electric rates. During a council meeting last week, Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue had asked members to consider decreasing electric rates by 10 percent, stating he felt there was more money than was needed in the reserve fund. It was estimated a 10 percent reduction would result in a $900,000 yearly revenue lost in the electric department In discussing rates, it was noted that the electric department has $3.261 million in its reserves, representing 36 percent of its yearly revenues. That amount, Comptroller Rosetta Marsh said, would cover approximately five to six months of operating expenses. Having three months of reserves on hand to cover operating expenses would be around $2 million. A rate study, which utility officials and some council members indicated would help in determining what future increases or decreases may be needed,

drew some heated debate between the committee and Dr. McHargue, who stated he was opposed to having one done. Mrs. Marsh said that in visiting with utility officials from Macon and Chillicothe, who have rate studies done on a regular basis, the cost was around $15,000 for the initial study and then around $10,000 for any future followup work. She said that it has been some time since a rate study on the electric department was done, adding that a “financial analysis” was presented to the city in January 2014 using 2012 rates and projections. Mrs. Marsh presented committee members with information comparing local electric rates to those of Macon and Chillicothe, with Trenton’s average rate (11.68 cents) falling below the Macon rate (12.032 cents) and above the Chillicothe rate (9.48 cents). Trenton’s base rate ($14.80), however, is the lowest of the three communities (Macon is $17.75, Chillicothe is $18). Trenton and Chillicothe both have summer and winter rates (summer rates being higher) while Macon has one rate throughout the year, although they are in the process of converting to a summer/winter rate charge. Trenton’s summer rates are charged four months out of the year (useage in May, June, July and August) while the Chillicothe summer rates are in effect for seven months. It was noted that both Macon and Chillicothe have more money in their reserves than Trenton, with Macon having $4.5 million (35 percent) and Chillicothe having $8.6 million (75 percent). She said that Macon officials indicated

NCMC

they have a policy of having reserves to cover six months worth of operating expenses while Chillicothe’s policy is a $6.2 million reserve, which includes both a capital improvements and an emergency fund. Trenton does not have a policy regarding reserve amount minimums, she said. As part of the discussion, council member Brad Chumbley, who is not a member of the utility committee, indicated he would like to see the city consider using some of the excess funds in the electric department to help pay for a headworks project under consideration at the wastewater plant. He said the money could be borrowed from one fund to another at a lower cost than what the city would incur should it have to borrow outside money for the work. Mrs. Marsh noted that the city’s auditor has said that while such action would not be illegal, the city would be cited should a state audit of utility funds be done, adding that the state looks at the utility as three separate entities electric, water and wastewater - and does not like funds to be “intermingled.” The headworks project, which also includes a review by engineers of the city’s wastewater rates and was discussed by the committee at this meeting, is on the agenda for consideration by the council at Monday night’s meeting. At the end of the meeting, councilman Larry Crawford, who is not a member of the utility committee, suggested that the committee revisit either reinstating the Board of Public Works to over see utility operations or hire a

separate utility director, duties which are currently being done by the city administrator. Crawford, who a member of the BPW when it was abolished in 2015, said the complexity of issues involving utilities makes it difficult for the council or the administrator to perform these duties efficiently. The suggestion drew mixed reaction and no action was taken. All three committee members David Mlika, Travis Elbert and Jennifer Hottes - voted in favor of the recommendations. The other five members of the city council were also present at the meeting, along with Mayor McHargue, City Administrator Ron Urton, City Clerk Cindy Simpson and department heads Mark Newton, Kenny Ricketts, Bob Hutchinson and Steve Reid. Prior to the utility committee meeting, the administrative committee met and voted to ask the council to sell an old ladder fire truck that was taken out of service due to the inability to find replacement parts. City Administrator Ron Urton is to check with local salvage companies to determine how much the city might get if it were to salvage the unit and, if the amount is what the city considers too low, the truck would be sold online on the website, Purple Wave. The committee also heard a report from Urton regarding the 17th Street Bridge project and the start of payments from the state toward costs for the project as well as discussed the status of a dog treat production business renting the city-owned building at the airport.

Week 5

Trenton @ Princeton

Turnover Battle Amplifi fie ed In Week 5

When the Trenton Bulldogs travel north to face the Princeton Tigers on Friday night, both teams will be focused on one key to victory - winning the turnover battle. For Trenton, the turnover struggles have been well-documented. The Bulldogs have given the ball away 17 times in four games this season. Princeton, meanwhile, had three turnovers last week in a 28-12 loss to Milan, the last two killing promising drives that Princeton needed to convert for touchdowns to stay with the Wildcats. The Bulldogs, at least for the time being, have seemed to put their turnover issues behind them. Of Trenton’s four turnovers last week, only one came at the mesh point between the quarterback and running back. That was an area that led to multiple turnovers in the first three weeks. The Bulldogs were perfect in the second half last week, not turning over the ball one time. “For us, you obviously want to continue to try and minimize those things,� Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell said. “You look at last week and we only put it on the turf once in terms of a mesh point. The other turnovers were things we haven’t really done. We fumbled at the end of a long run, we threw an interception and we were lackadaisical and not watching where the ball bounced on a punt. So, did we turn it over yes, but it was

different than what’s been killing us this season. We just have to try to continue to eliminate those things.� Princeton isn’t the same team it was last season when it ran the tables to win the Grand River Conference title. The Tigers graduated their leader in almost every statistical category, but that doesn’t mean the Tigers aren’t still in the hunt for a repeat as conference champions. Quarterback Cam Hartley has been a primary source of offense and though he isn’t the gunslinger Andrew Smith was last year, he has proven to be effective, completing 26-of-57 passes this season for 400 yards and five touchdowns. “I personally still think Princeton is really good,� Boswell said. “They may be 2-2, but they have had some adversity losing (quarterback Austin) Kelly to a broken leg. But, ever since (Cam) Hartley has come in, they have looked pretty good. Hartley is in his fourth week of playing quarterback now and he is just going to get better and better. He has really thrown some impressive passes.� Trenton and Princeton will kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday from the newly-renovated Eddie Allen Field.

Quick Look At The Princeton Tigers

Head Coach: Thomas Hotmer, Third Year 2018 Record: 2-2, 1-1 GRC Last Week: Lost 28-12 to Milan on the road Princeton’s up and down season continued in week four as the Tigers fell to Milan. Princeton lost its opener this year, losing its quarterback in the process. But the Tigers were resilient, coming back with two-straight wins, including a 20-0 victory over Polo in the GRC opener in week three. Who To Watch: Logan Dunkin, Sr. (5-6, 135), RB #2 Dunkin is the bellwether of the Princeton Tigers. In the two wins this season combined, Dunkin has 35 carries for 243 yards and five touchdowns. In Princeton’s two losses combined, Dunkin has just 11 carries for a paltry 21 yards and no scores. If Trenton can keep Dunkin under wraps Friday night, history would suggest the Bulldogs will be looking good by game’s end. Who To Watch: Cam Jones, Sr. (5-7, 155), RB #24 Princeton has fully moved to a ‘by-committee’ approach this season in terms of its running game. Cam Jones is the other half of the duo and leads the Tigers in rushing to this point, having collected 293 yards and two touchdowns on 56 carries through four games.

Golfers Get Home Dual Victory HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

When the doors of the Putnam County bus flew open and only two golfers jumped off, it would have been easy for the Trenton High School girls golf team to be a little disappointed. But when you only have three home dates to begin with and the first one was rained out before completion, you take what you can get. Trenton took what it could get on its home course and finished the dual with a team score of 233. It wasn’t the Bulldogs’ best mark, but Trenton just needed four scores to put a mark in the win column - something that turned out to be more difficult than originally thought. Oakley Madden withdrew due to

illness, leaving Trenton with just four golfers on the course. Those four would finish, however, getting Trenton the victory. Werthen Gass led all players at the dual, taking medalist honors with a score of 43. “Werthen was very consistent today,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “She left a couple of strokes out there with her putter, but overall she put together a pretty easy 43 to capture medalist honors.” Behind Gass, Maci Henson turned in the second-lowest score of the dual with a 56. Putnam County’s Molly Parker had the Midgets’ lowest total with a 59. “Maci didn’t play too bad today.

Trenton Bulldogs 15, Milan Wildcats 0 - 4 Innings

Bulldogs Blast Milan 15-0, Clinch GRC East Title

Maci Moore rolled into third base on Tuesday night to complete an RBI triple in the first inning of the Trenton High School softball team’s matchup with Milan. The very next batter - Salem Croy - deposited a pitch over the rightcenter field fence for a two-run home run. Welcome to the nightmare the Grand River Conference is living. With Moore and Croy wielding the hammers, Trenton destroyed Milan 15-0 in a fourinning rout, clinching the Dogs’ third-straight Grand River Conference East division title in the process. “Maci and Salem are such an intimidating force in the middle of our lineup,” Trenton Coach John Cowling said. “Both of them are clicking right now. They’ve been so good at driving home runners this season that our numberfive hitter - Taylor Richman is batting almost .400 and only has five RBIs.” Moore would finish the game three-for-three at the plate, scoring three runs and driving in five. Croy was twofor-three, meanwhile, adding her home run and four RBIs. Of Trenton’s 15 runs, nine were driven in by the threefour hitters in Trenton’s overbearing lineup. Following the three runs produced by the duo in the first inning, Richman would double and score when McKayla Blackburn reached on an error. Up 4-0, Mykah Hurley led off the second inning with a triple and scored on Moore’s second RBI. Moore would score on a wild pitch and Gracyn Rongey - running for Croy - scored on another Milan error, pushing the lead to 7-0. In the third inning, Ainsley Tolson singled to drive home Chandler Lynch, who led off the inning with a triple. Teya Cooksey - running for Tolson and Moore would both score on a lined single by Croy as the lead ballooned to 10-0. Trenton closed the game in the fourth with a bases-loaded single by Moore that plated three runs. and a ground-rule double by Lexi Whitaker pushed the lead to 15-0, ending

the game by the 15-run rule. In addition to Moore and Croy going off, Chandler Lynch had two hits and two runs and Tolson and Richman each had two hits and a run scored. Sydney Lynch, Hurley and Whitaker all had one hit each as Trenton hammered out 14 total for the game. While the offense exploded, Tolson threw her second perfect game in three outings, though this one went just four frames. The senior pitcher didn’t allow a baserunner while striking out six. The shutout was the fourth in a row for Trenton and the eighth of the season. All of eight shutouts have come in the last nine games, a 4-3 loss to Hamilton being the only outlier in that stretch. The school record for shutouts in a single season came in 2009, when Trenton shut out its opponent 14 times on the way to a state runner-up finish. With the win, Trenton improved to 11-1 overall on the season and 6-0 in Grand River Conference play. The Bulldogs have clinched the East division title and will play for a thirdstraight GRC championship on Thursday, Sept. 27, traveling to the site of the West division champion for the game. That match-up will likely be against Stanberry for the third-straight

The Trenton High School volleyball team was in Lathrop Tournament last Saturday, placing fifth with a 1-2-2 record. Trenton’s lone win was a 25-22, 22-25, 16-14 victory over Lathrop in the team’s fourth match of the day. Trenton also drew splits with eventual tournament champion Plattsburg (23-25, 25-23) and East Buchanan (19-25, 25-23).

The Bulldogs were able to score the win and two splits following a slow start to the tournament that saw Trenton fall 25-18, 25-19 to MidBuchanan and 25-22, 25-21 to East Buchanan. Karli Provorse had one of the day’s better performances against Plattsburg, netting seven kills and four blocks. Melea Farmer added four aces, five assists and five digs in that

She just had a few too many triple bogeys on the card,” Mullenix said. “With a little more fine tuning on her swing she can easily drop a stroke a hole and that will make a world of difference heading into district play.” Mari Atup’s 64 and Josie Chumbley’s 70 rounded out Trenton’s team score. Putnam County got a 68 from Shaylea Vestal. “Mari and Josie gained some more experience,” Mullenix said. “That is what this year is about for them going out and having fun and learning the basics of the game.” Trenton’s golfers will see significantly more competition on Thursday when they travel to the Chillicothe Tournament. Tee time is set for 9 a.m.

year as the Bulldogs of the West have yet to lose a division game this year. Trenton wrapped up division play on Thursday, traveling to Gallatin for a make-up contest. That game story can be found online at www.republican-times.com. Trenton will be at home all day on Saturday, competing in the North Central Missouri College Nan Carter Classic at the Ebbe Sports Complex. The first pitch is scheduled for 9 a.m. Trenton will take on South Harrison (9 a.m.), Brookfield (1:30 p.m.) and Platte Valley (4:30 p.m.) in pool play, all on Griffin Field. The tournament championship is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. vs. LAWSON On Monday night, the Lawson Cardinals became just another team to fail to touch home plate against Trenton as the Bulldogs scored a 6-0 nonconference victory on Griffin Field. While Trenton is used to stymieing opposing offenses, the concept was unfamiliar for Lawson, which has been shut out just once prior this season, falling 9-0 to Lafayette in the first game of the season. But to the dismay of the visitors, Tolson was her usual self, going six of the seven innings and allowing no runs on just two hits while striking out

seven Cardinal batters. Blackburn fired the seventh for Trenton and wasn’t much more forgiving, completing the shutout with one hit allowed and one strikeout in the single frame. Tolson, who was coming off a perfect game against Polo last week, was perfect through three innings on this night, pushing her streak of not allowing a baserunner of any kind to 10 innings before Lawson got its first hit of the game to lead off the fourth inning. Offensively, Trenton tallied what would be the winning run in the first inning. Moore and Croy hit back-to-back doubles with two outs, Croy’s scoring Moore for the run. Moore would drive in Hurley in the second inning to double the advantage and then scored on an RBI single by Richman to make it 3-0 Trenton just two innings in. In the fourth inning, Whitaker crushed a solo home run to center field for Trenton’s fourth run and Whitaker and Sidney Lynch would each score on a Lawson miscue in the fifth to push the lead to what would be the final score at 6-0. Moore and Whitaker were each two-for-three with two runs and one RBI apiece. Croy, Hurley, Richman, Lynch and Blackburn had one hit each. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity dropped its match-up with Lawson, falling 10-6. Trenton was able to get on the board first when Teya Cooksey walked and scored on Jaycie Griffin’s RBI double in the first inning. But Lawson would take over from there. Lawson scored 10 runs in the third and fourth innings combined, putting Trenton at an extreme deficit. The Bulldogs would fight back with five more runs, but the Lawson lead was too great to overcome. Rongey was two-for-three with two runs and three steals to lead Trenton offensively. With the win, Trenton’s junior varsity improved to 1-5 on the season. There was no JV game played against milan Tuesday night.

Had the Trenton High School tennis team gone to St. Joseph and returned home with one victory on Tuesday it would have been great. Returning home with two victories, though, that was even better. Because of a scheduling conflict on the part of the Benton Cardinals, who were scheduled to dual the Bulldogs on Monday, Trenton played its regularly scheduled dual with Lafayette on Tuesday and followed it up with a dual against the Cardinals. Trenton defeated both St. Joseph schools, scoring an 81 win over Lafayette and a 63 win over Benton. The two wins saw Trenton move to 5-4 overall. vs. LAFAYETTE Trenton opened with Lafayette. Emma Gilham and Lexi Gott combined for an 81 win to kick off the dual with doubles play. That would be Gilham’s lone match of the dual as the Trenton numberone player was dealing with a sore ankle. Elle Neal and Latorrie Johnson scored an 8-3 win and Kendall Crowley and Morgan Dolan added an 8-0 win to give Trenton a sweep of doubles play. Gilham’s absence wouldn’t hurt Trenton too much in singles play. Neal stepped into the top spot and suffered an 84 loss, but Trenton would sweep the remaining matches. Crowley won 8-2 at number two, Johnson won 8-1 at three, Gott won 8-1 at four, Dolan won 8-2 at five and Mallory Sole won 8-1 at number six. vs. BENTON Gilham and Gott suffered a close 8-6 loss in doubles play against Benton, but Neal and Johnson won 8-3 and Crowley and Dolan won 8-1. Gilham fell 8-2 in singles play, but her teammates picked her up by taking four of the remaining five singles matches to give Trenton its second win of the day. Neal won 8-0 at number two and Crowley secured an 8-2 victory at number three. After Johnson lost 8-3 at number four, Gott picked up an 8-3 win at number five and Dolan won 8-0 at six. Trenton dueled Chillicothe

match. Provorse and Saedee Jackson each had four kills in Trenton’s loss to East Buchanan and Teresa Yoder had three kills and two aces against Mid-Buchanan. vs. HAMILTON Trenton followed up the performance at the tournament with a 25-8, 25-13 rout of Hamilton on Tuesday night at home. Individual statistics from

that game were unavailable as of press time. Trenton’s overall record on the season moved to 5-7-2 after the Hamilton win. Trenton’s C team scored a 25-14, 25-23 win over Hamilton and the Bulldogs’ JV won 25-9, 25-11. Trenton will be back on the court on Monday, traveling to Brookfield for action. The first serve is scheduled for 5 p.m.

on Thursday at the THS tennis courts. A game story from that dual can be found online at www.republican-times.com. Trenton travels to the Benton Tournament on Friday. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton swept JV action against Lafayette, winning all four matches. Emilee Lovell and Amanda Parrack won 4-2, Bailea Jeannoutot and Alaina Overton won 4-0, Baley Catron and Trinity Gaunt won 4-1 and Harley Hall and Kaylor Farris won 4-0. Against Benton, Trenton won eight-of-10 JV matches. In singles, Gaunt won 4-3, Parrack lost 4-0, Leslie Cotiangco lost 4-0, Catron won 4-0 and Overton won 5-3. In doubles play, Lovell and Cotiangco won 4-1, Parrack and Jeannoutot won 4-1, Overton and Catron won 4-0, Hall and Farris won 4-1 and Sole and Catron won 4-0. vs. MARYVILLE On Monday in Maryville, Trenton did battle with the Spoofhounds and the Bulldogs were handed a 7-2 loss. Trenton’s number-one doubles team of Emma Gilham and Lexi Gott erased an early 3-0 deficit, rallying back for an 8-6 victory. That would be Trenton’s only doubles win of the dual despite some solid play as Elle Neal and Latorrie Johnson and Kendall Crowley and Morgan Dolan each fell by 8-5 scores. In singles play, Gott continued to have a strong day, winning 8-3 win at number five. That was Trenton’s only singles win, though, as Gilham and Neal each fell 8-3, Crowley lost 8-5, Johnson was defeated 8-2 and Dolan lost 8-1. JUNIOR VARSITY In JV play, Emilee Lovell scored a 4-2 win in the only JV singles match played.

Oak Mites Are Everywhere

In my column the week before last I talked about the oak mite scourge and it sure generated a lot of comments. Many people over the last several weeks have told me about their experiences with the little buggers and how uncomfortable the bites are on your skin. I have had several persons tell me they have cut back on their outdoor activity in order to keep from getting bitten. Ordinarily this is one of the best times of the year to be outside with the many fall activities, but with the Wendell Lenhart heat and humidity, along with the oak mite infestation, it’s been tough to enjoy the outdoors. ##### Speaking of fall, many annual activities in the Trenton area are scheduled to take place in the next few weeks. Serve Trenton will take place next weekend throughout the Trenton area. Kudos to all who volunteer and help organize these events, which help people throughout the community. What a great and worthwhile effort. Oct. 5 will bring the annual Wright Run, a 5K event that helps raise funds for the Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation and support the hospital. Funds raised this year will go for needed equipment purchases. And then, starting Thursday, Oct. 18, will be the annual Missouri Day Festival, which will bring hundreds of people to our community. Watch the newspaper for more details and announcements about these events and make plans to participate or attend. ##### How to put a billion in perspective (this came from the internet so you know it has to be correct): A billion seconds ago it was 1959. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the stone age. A billion days ago, no one on the earth walked on two feet. A billion dollars ago was eight hours and 20 minutes at the rate the federal government spends our money. Keep that in mind when you start hearing about trillion dollar budget deficits.

Missouri Road and Bridge Funding Overdue for an Update

by Eric Bohl Director of Public Affairs, Missouri Farm Bureau As political battles continue to rage over the Supreme Court, control over Congress and President Trump’s tweet du jour, a major ballot issue has been quietly gaining momentum. In November, Missouri voters will not only be deciding whether to give Senator McCaskill a third six-year term; they also will have an opportunity to increase road and bridge funding for the first time since 1996. Twenty-two years ago, the world was a different place. That year, Fox News Channel first went on the air, Michael Jordan won his fourth of six championships, Tickle Me Elmo was introduced and Mizzou still played in the Big 8 Conference. AOL was the primary gateway to the Information Superhighway, charging $40 a month for 19 hours of dial-up access. People who weren’t even born yet in 1996 can now legally purchase alcohol. And in 1996, the gas tax was set at a fixed 17 cents per gallon with no adjustment for inflation. This lack of inflation adjustment has been helpful in some ways – it keeps taxes from rising on autopilot and potentially running away from true costs. But it also means Missourians need to periodically review it to ensure the number still matches reality of how much it costs to keep up what we have as well as build for the future. The purchasing power of that 17cent tax is now less than half what it was in 1996, because inflation has eaten it alive. The new proposal, Proposition D, would slowly increase the gas tax by 2.5 cents per year over a four-year period. This would amount to about $1.28 per month for the average driver in the first year, or about $5.10 per month at the end of the four-year phase-in. The first year’s increase would cost an average driver four pennies per day – less than most of us lose in our couch cushions. An outstanding feature of how Proposition D is structured is that 30 percent of the funds would bypass state government and be given directly to counties and cities to spend on only roads and bridges. Each county and municipality in the state would receive a boost proportional to their size. The remaining 70 percent of the money would fund the Highway Patrol’s budget. The money that had been funding their budget is already constitutionally mandated to only be spent on the Highway Patrol, road and bridge funding or the cost of collecting the gas tax. Politicians cannot dip into the barrel to pay for pet projects or rob Peter to pay Paul – doing so would require approval by Missouri voters, which frankly would never happen. Missouri Farm Bureau is supporting Proposition D due to the local control rural governments will have over the funds and the dire need to bring our funding up to date. The constitutional protections give peace of mind that the money won’t be wasted on turtle tunnels and shrimp treadmills. It will get Missouri’s infrastructure back to where it needs to be.

Letters to the Editor

To The Editor: On Saturday I sat through sweltering heat to watch the Trenton fifth and sixth grade boys play football. I don’t know what the goals are that the coaches have set out for these young boys, but I didn’t like what I saw. I saw five and six little boys standing on the sidelines, waiting for their chance to get into the game. I watched as they patiently waited for their turn. I also watched the coaches wait until the last quarter or close to it before allowing these boys to get into the game. They weren’t in there more than three or four plays before they once again had to stand on the sidelines and watch the action. What are we trying to teach these boys? I know that they practice as hard as the others do. I know that they are learning the rules of the game. So why aren’t they given more playing time as a reward for their hard work? I believe we could learn a lot from our summer baseball programs. All of the kids on the team get to play and get to bat. No one worries about outs. They are all learning. I know that it gets a little more competitive as they get older, but the important point is that while they are learning, all get the same opportunity. I really don’t believe that those 11 boys chosen to play all of the first half and most of the rest of the game were any better than anyone standing on the sidelines. After all, the score proved that our offense wasn’t accomplishing that much. So I hope that the coaches will rethink their game plan and give all the opportunity to learn what it is like to be in a game situation and part of the team. Carol Reger Milan, MO

To The Editor: For the last several months I have been visiting a friend at Sunnyview Nursing Home. They keep the floors so polished, I am almost ashamed to walk on them with my shoes. Good job staff. Nick McHargue Trenton, MO

See you there! Good Food!

Workers retiring at age 65 are eligible for Medicare Part B (which covers outpatient services) and must sign up the month they turn 65 or during the three months before or after. Some employees choose to continue working and remain with their employer's health coverage. That is fine as long as the employee or his or her spouse works at a job (with 20 or more employees) that provides health benefits because Medicare provides secondarily to their employer's group plan. Once the employee stops working, it's important to enroll in Part B within eight months after the month of retirement. Failure to enroll during this "special enrollment period" can result in being uninsured if the employer's coverage expires. NOTE: Failure to sign up during the "special enrollment period" results in a permanent 10% premium surcharge for every year that the unsigned enrollee should have been on Medicare but was not. When considering retirement you may have several questions. Come by or call us so that we can help you get the answers to your questions and assist you in getting the benefits you are entitled to.

Most days, I look at my glass and find it half full. I try to be an optimist. Others look at their glass and see half empty. Pessimists do that. Daily news reports encourage pessimism. News from Washington or Hurricane Florence remains bad. On my worst day, nothing like that hits me. I am good to go, one more day. This comes after an awful week. I missed the Missouri Press Association meeting in St. Louis. It’s good to be here. I’ve racked up enough close calls with my heart to be thankful for   every extra day. After my   checkup with the cardiologist, he said come back in six months. I like his optimism. Friday I attended a meeting with the ultimate optimist, UM president Mun Choi. He makes pessimists feel better. He spoke to faculty, staff, supporters and friends. We

went to hear of “Excellence Through Innovation” a strategic plan. Choi came into his new job hit by $180 million in budget cuts. That meant cutting job and programs. The trend lines on state support meeting MU needs still grow further apart. Our rebuilding makes us stronger, and then we build on strengths. It’s that fatherly advice: If you’re thrown off the horse you get right back on and ride ahead. I learned from President Choi in watching him at meetings like the Kirksville Livestock Symposium, he talks farmer talk. Then, he sticks around to ask what they need from the University. Unlike some leaders, he listens and responds. Friday, Choi was down mixing with the audience. He chats and listens. In meetings

out in the country, I hear farmers tell their belief in Choi. We've not always had presidents who gain quick connections. Truthfully, some leaders made me pessimistic. In his plan for the future, Choi will put together $260 million as an investment in our future. That’s to be raised and spent over the next five years.   He starts with priority one: $100 million for scholarships. He says invest in the next generation. Of that, $75 million goes to needy students. Then $25 million will draw in the most promising students. They can go anywhere; but, let’s keep them here. The next $100 million goes for research and creative works. That will bring new ideas that benefit the state. I’ve been fortunate to see inside how many farm programs have paid farmers. Whether it's growing better soybeans, beef heifers or pasture grasses the state benefits. Farming after all is our No. 1 income source. In fact ag faculty members lead all bringing in outside grants. We can do more. And, will. Choi plans to invest heavily in what’s called “Precision

by Duane Dailey Writer MU Extension The Thompson Farm calving barn became a classroom for the University of Missouri. The teachers were MU graduate students and their mentors. Their listeners were beef farmers on Monday, Sept. 17. In his field day greeting, Chris Daubert said this farm was a classroom as much as any building on the Columbia campus. Daubert, dean of the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, told how farm research helps beef farmers profit. It also prepares

the next generation. The evening program taught as much on grass, beef-cow rations and economics as it did on breeding heifers and cows. MU specialists adjusted the day’s programs to fit the need after a hot, dry summer. Drought crippled hay production. Eric Bailey, MU beef nutritionist, outlined a plan for feeding cows this coming winter. He says feed less hay. Also, cut waste in feeding big hay bales. Low-cost grains and byproduct feeds can replace expensive hay. Feeding hay that costs $85 per big bale makes no economic

sense, Bailey said. Later, MU Extension beef economist Scott Brown said, “This drought is not like the drought of 2012.” Unlike then, grain crops will be plentiful, lowering feed costs. Rations using grains can replace highprice hay. In a nutshell economic outlook, Brown said beef producers will struggle through 2019. In 2020 and beyond, Missouri’s beef-cow herds can boost the economy. With returning rains, producers are maintaining herd size. Brown added cautions. For now, huge supplies of meat

Medicine.” Now, I've personally benefited from better medical care. I see the value of heart care advances. My ancestors died young from heart failures. I’ve benefited from care advances in the last 30   years. I devoted my life to paying back for how I benefited from MU Extension. That started by being elected president of our local 4-H Club. Did I enjoy standing up front and talking? No way. But, I started learning something I’ve used all my life: Communicating. I need not go into other investments. But, Choi knows people benefit from MU research, whether in business or health. We’ve already benefited from a couple of years of amazing gift giving. Choi has that ability. But, we all must help. We need more people who can translate what MU does into language that everyday people read and understand. They’ll realize their glass is half full. Maybe they’ll share back to Mizzou.

loom over markets. Pork and poultry producers face serious financial challenges. Currently, consumer demand keeps beef prices strong. “Beef farmers listen to consumers and give what buyers want.” That’s both domestic and international. World trade remains vital to our farm economy, Brown said. Just ahead, beef producers won’t gain much from higher prices, he said. To survive they must look to cutting costs. Gaining quality beef at lower cost came from beef herd research at Thompson Farm for more than 20 years. Major gains were made in cutting death

losses at calving. Also, quality beef gains through better genetics. In the evening program, MU graduate students had first chances to share results of their studies at the MU research farm. Genetics add to the MU reproduction programs. Research at the DNA level speeds breed progress, scientists find. Students were joined by Jordan Thomas, 3a recent Ph.D. graduate now hired as an MU Extension specialist. It was his first appearance back at Thompson as a state specialist, up from student. His research shifts from breeding heifers to inseminating older cows. Artificial insemination protocols that work on   don’t work as well with heifers cows 4 years and older. His report that older beef animals respond slower was understood by older beef farmers who made up much of the

crowd. Already, Thomas’ studies of longer breeding protocols show promise on old cows. “We’re just beginning,” he said. Other research aims to improve splittime AI and use of sexed semen. In his wrap-up of the day, emcee Bill Lamberson, director of animal science on the MU campus, pitched an appeal for financial support for science and teaching at Thompson Farm. His call echoed an appeal earlier last week by UM President Mun Choi. The leaders seek added dollar support. State funding hasn’t kept pace with costs at the state’s land-grant university. Beef farmers already use research from MU Thompson farm to add value, Dean Daubert said. Results in breeding quality beef herd replacements will be seen at six Show-Me-Select heifer sales across the state this fall. Producers across the nation benefit from MU fixed-time AI breeding protocols. Field day visitors looked behind the scenes at new research on that.

Nursing Home Board Holds Meeting

The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors made plans for an upcoming health fair during a meeting this week at the Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments. Administrator Donita  Youtsey said the health fair will be held from 7 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the nursing home. Labs will be available for members of the community and no appointments will be necessary. The cost for a complete lab panel will be $25 while an A1C and PSA will be $20 each. Those planning to have a lab completed should fast. In addition to the labs, there will be informa-

tion booths available along with other types of health screenings. Organizations or businesses wanting to have a booth are asked to call the nursing home. In other business conducted at the meeting, board members discussed completed energy projects involving lighting, water efficiency and building infiltration improvements. The board also held an executive session to approve closed meeting minutes from August. The next meeting of the nursing home district board will be at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16 in the administrator’s office at the nursing home.

Man Charged With Arson After Investigation

A Trenton man who admitted discharging fireworks in a rural Grundy County house has been charged with second degree arson in connection with a fire on Monday, Sept. 10. According to online court records, a warrant has been issued charging 48-year-old Stacy T. Davis of Trenton with second degree arson, a class D felony, in connection with the fire at 630 S.W. 20th St. Adam Crouch, an investigator with the Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office, was called to the scene and filed a probable cause statement on Friday, Sept. 14. In that statement, Crouch wrote that he determined the fire had been intentionally set in two areas of the house, one in the living room and one on the back porch. While examining the scene, he was advised that Davis had been taken into custody for suspicion of burglary of a church. He was told by Grundy County Deputy Tyler Anderson that Davis had made a voluntary statement that he had set the

house on fire with fireworks. Davis was a resident of the house, where he lived with the owner, his mother, Nikki Davis. Investigator Crouse interviewed Davis at the Grundy County Detention Center, where Davis admitted to shooting about one-half gross of fireworks at “the feds who were after him” inside the house. Davis said that when the house caught fire, he tried to put the fires out with water, but had to leave when they (“the feds”) threw a bomb at him. Davis left the house and went to the home of a neighbor to report the fire. As he drove an all-terrain vehicle away from the house, he looked back and could see smoke coming from the residence. The house was a total loss. Online court records indicate that Davis has not yet been taken into custody. Those records also indicate that his bond, when the warrant is served, will be $10,000 cash-only.

Several Trenton residents have been arrested in the past several days on charges of possessing or distributing controlled substances, including a Trenton man facing several counts of distributing a controlled substance. According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, 20-year-old Bryce Farmer is charged with four class E felony counts of delivery of 35 grams or less of marijuana/synthetic cannabinoid and one class C felony count of possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana. Farmer is accused of selling THC wax, a controlled substance, to confidential informants on June 18, June 25, July 2 and July 31. In addition, he is accused of possessing more than 35 grams of marijuana on Aug. 7, with the intent to distribute it. Bond has been set at $25,000 cash only and he is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center. Also arrested Wednesday was Steven K. Johnson, 27, Trenton, who is chared with possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana, a class D felony. Johnson, who is being held on $15,000 cashonly bond, is accused of possessing methamphetamine on Sept. 18. A Trenton woman 37-year-old Kandi L. Johnson is charged with possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana, a class D felony. She is accused of possessing the methamphetamine on Sept. 16,

the day of her arrest. She is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center on $15,000 cash-only bond. Drug and child endangerment charges have been filed against a Trenton woman, 25-yearold Shanail Kleihauer, who was arrested Tuesday, charged with possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana and first degree endangering the welfare of a child involving drugs, both class D felonies. She is accused of possessing methamphetamine in the presence of a child under the age of 17. Her bond has been set at $20,000 cash only and she remains in the Grundy County Detention Center. Donna L. Zeigler, 49, Trenton, is charged with first degree tampering with a motor vehicle, a class D felony. She is accused of tampering with a 1987 Mercury Mountaineer, owned by Jewel Laverne Rentfrow. Ms. Zeigler is being held in the GCDC on $10,000 cash-only bond. A Lexington man, Thomas C. Kopp, 31, was arrested in Lafayette County after being released from custody there and is now in the Grundy County Detention Center for allegedly violating the terms of his probation on an original charge of non-support. He is being held on $1,000 cash-only bond. All of the defendants are scheduled to be in court on Sept. 25.

Dear Annie: My brother-inlaw, "Ted," and his wife decided to call it quits over the holidays after being together since high school (about 25 years). Their relationship was very strained and was more of a roommate situation than a marriage for at least 15 years, getting worse every year. His wife moved out of their house in February, and he immediately went on dating sites. About four months ago, he started seeing a woman he had met online. Before they even met, she was sending him racy photos and text messages. He is now completely hooked on her. He doesn't have any kids; she has four, from three different men. All the kids, at one point or another, have had issues with self-harm or depression. We've witnessed the mom giving one of her children alcohol. She and Ted are already planning on moving in together. She lives about two hours from here. She won't be moving in until December, but she has asked whether the 16-year-old girl can move in with Ted now, before school starts, so she doesn't have to switch schools halfway through the year. Am I being unreasonable because I don't want to support

this? I think it's a huge mistake for the family to move in with my brother-in-law, but it's not my place to say. My biggest concern is that a 16-year-old girl would move in with a man whom her mother barely knows. My brother-in-law would never hurt her or touch her, but still it seems inappropriate. Am I reading too much into this? I don't even want him bringing her to my house without her mother. My husband is extremely upset with me for not being supportive of his brother's relationship but does see there is something wrong with a child's moving in without her mother. -- Extremely Concerned Dear Extremely Concerned: This situation is wonky every which way. If your husband can't see that, he's got his head in the sand. What concerns me the most is the well-being of all of this woman's children. It's devastating to hear that children are engaging in self-harm. It's disturbing that she was giving one of them alcohol. I encourage you to document and report any maltreatment to your local child protective services agency. To find the pertinent contact info for your state, visit https://www.childwelfare.gov,

and click "Topics," "Responding to Child Abuse & Neglect" and "Reporting." Dear Annie: We see and hear of so many folks struggling with addiction issues of all types, yet frequently, a major component is missing. Many addicts have an undiagnosed and untreated mental health condition that is the cause of the addiction. Our son began using drugs as a teenager to treat his (undiagnosed at the time) bipolar disorder and thus stunted his brain growth/maturity. After several starts and stops in facilities and despite our own love and care, he died of a heroin overdose at age 26 (three years ago). His forever17-year-old brain could not grasp the concept of constant treatment from the medical community, and he possibly would have lived out his life in the type of struggle described by "Sad Stepmom." In addition to Al-Anon, I would like to suggest support groups from the National Alliance on Mental Illness as other resources to guide those struggling to understand another component of addiction. -Mom in Louisville Dear Mom: I am so sorry for the loss of your son. You raise an important point, that addiction can be a symptom of mental illness. Thank you for mentioning NAMI. Readers who would like to learn more can visit https://www.nami.org.

Europe gets a raise European workers are getting raises. But stock investors don’t need to worry about the European Central Bank taking away the punch bowl just yet. The annual increase in eurozone labor costs, which include wages, rose to 2.2 percent in the second quarter from 2.1 percent in the first quarter. That supports the argument made by ECB head Mario Draghi that the bank can halt its bond-buying stimulus program at year-end and still keep inflation near its target of just under 2 percent. The ECB has made

clear interest rates will stay at record lows — the benchmark rate is zero — through the summer of 2019. And rates may not rise much after that, given the voting bloc of indebted countries such as Italy on the ECB board whose governments benefit from low rates. “The ECB is unlikely to initiate a rate hiking process as we conventionally think of it,” says Commerzbank chief economist Joerg Kraemer. That’s positive for stocks: even if trade worries deal a temporary setback, “European equities should continue to rise over the next 12 months.”

In 1957 his father was transferred to Hackberry, AZ, where Jack continued his schooling. After his father’s death in 1958, Jack and his mother, Arlene moved back to Stanberry to be closer to family. He lived for two years on the Midyett family farm with his mother, Arlene; grandmother, Dell Midyett; and his uncle, Victor Midyett, who was a loving father figure to Jack.

He was the local office manager in Kirksville and Moberly. In 1989 he was promoted to the central office in Jefferson City. During his time at Jefferson City, he worked in several roles, including veterans service manager of the entire state of Missouri for DES. Jack retired in 2006 from the Division of Workforce Development, where he finished his career as a regional office manager.

Jack also enjoyed doing volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity, the First United Methodist Church of Jefferson City and the Trenton Heroes basketball program. Jack married Lucinda (Cindy) McCabe in Rutledge, in July 1983. Their marriage was filled with love and joy. They held hands, gave kisses, took many wonderful vacations to mountains and beaches, and danced lovingly for 35 beautiful years. Jack and Cindy were blessed with a son, Jon Wesley Guthrie, in 1985. Jack loved his son dearly, attending countless ballgames and school activities that Jon performed in while attending Jefferson City public schools. One of Jack’s favorite duties as a truly dedicated father was driving his son and his friends to ballgames and practices and hosting his son’s friends, the Woodward boys, for many spirited gatherings at his home in Jefferson City. Jack also enjoyed his many friendships. Some of his favorite activities were his golf outings and his First Wednesday group. Jack also cherished spend-

ing time with his extended family. He loved going on fishing trips and vacations with his uncles. Jack was also a brotherly figure to his cousins, Cindy McCoy, Diane Midyett, Vanessa Gaines, Ruel Midyett and many other Midyett cousins. He was always there to love and support them. Following his marriage to Cindy, Jack treasured attending family vacations and holidays with his wife’s family in Rutledge, Gower, Mark Twain Lake, Branson, the state fair, Jefferson City and Trenton. Jack was a devoted son-in-law to his wife’s parents, Hillis and Eilene McCabe. Jack also enjoyed being a loving brotherin-law to Cindy’s sisters, Cheryl and her husband, Jim Nowell and Carol McCabe. He loved being an uncle to three beautiful nieces and a nephew, Sara and her husband, Edward Gize, Lori and her husband, John Casteel, Valerie and her fiancé, Jesse Jarvis, and Nick and his wife, Kelli Oldham. He also loved his three grandnieces and nephew, Lydia and Alana Gize and Reid Oldham. In 2010, Jack and Cindy were blessed when their son, Jon, married Amy Schweizer of Centerville, IA. Jon and Amy bestowed upon Jack and Cindy three beautiful grandchildren, James Wesley, Nora Eilene and Lucille (Lucy) Elaine. In 2016, Jack and Cindy moved to Trenton to spend more time with their family. Jack was known as Pop to his grandchildren. One of his favorite activities to do at the end of his life was to love on James, Nora and Lucy, giving them big bear hugs and kisses, reading them picture books, rocking them in his recliner, building them playhouses and wood toy chests, playing outdoor activities with the grandchildren in his backyard, taking them on vacations and coaching them in sports, such as t-ball. Jack was a loving son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Jack was preceded in death by his father, mother, stepfather, uncles, aunts and fatherin-law. He truly will be missed by his family, friends, and those who had the opportunity to get to know him.

DIRECTOR

SELECTING FUNERAL LOCATION

A funeral home is used by many people for the ceremony preceding burial or cremation. Alternatives might be a church or synagogue, a private home or a fraternal meeting place. Transportation may be a factor, as well as cost. In addition, you should consider where the service will be most meaningful to you, the availability of other facilities and convenience. Your decision about whether or not to have the body present will also play a part in deciding where to hold the funeral ceremony. If the body is to be present, the funeral home may be the most convenient place. On the

other hand, if the body is not to be present, you will have greater flexibility about where to hold the service. You will need to decide whether providing the opportunity for friends and family to call is important to you. Most counselors feel that visitation and a ceremony, religious or other, is helpful for the mourning process.
