Roof Replacement Adds To Costs by Ronda Lickteig R-T News Writer When it rains, it pours, and boy, did it rain this year! In fact, as of Sept. 5, more than 43 inches of rain has fallen in Trenton this year. That’s 43 inches of rain that fell on the roof of the Green Hills Animal Shelter. Add to that the amount of snow melt from the 45 inches that fell last season. Unfortunately, a good portion of that precipitation came THROUGH the shelter roof rather than being on it. The shelter sustained substantial damage from water this year, with members of the non-profit’s board having no choice but to replace the roof and take action to stop water from seeping into the building from around the facility. “We actually had two issues,” said Terri Webb, a member of the board. “One was the water seeping in from around the facility. The training room and the back walls were flooded. Then, we had the roof itself, with the damage mainly around the front walls. We literally had water running down the walls of the lobby and the cat room.
The drywall was damaged and will need to be replaced. A good portion of the shelter was affected; we even had to move the cats from the cat room. The truth is the longer we waited, the bigger the chance of damage and the more expensive it would be.” Left with no choice but to replace the roof and address the issues, the shelter board faced the inevitable question: “How are we going to pay for this?” “This wasn’t something we wanted to do, it was something that had to be done. We didn’t have the money, but we also didn’t have a choice of whether or not to do it. We would have had even

more damage to the building if we hadn’t fixed it,” explained Mrs. Webb. Fortunately, three local contractors came forward to help. Steve Ishmael,

ART’S ALIVE
Bloodmobile At Trenton
2010, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services began receiving an appropriation from the primacy fee for their bacteriological work, which was previously funded by general revenue - about $455,000 annually. Approximately $4.6 million per year is generated by the fee throughout the state. The sewer connect fee is charged by the DNR according to the rules and requirements of the State Operating Permit under the Missouri Clean Water Law, Section 10 CSR 20-6.011. It is used throughout the state for the operation of public sewer systems. For more information on the water primacy fee, persons can go to the website, https://dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub2229.htm For more information on the sewer connect fees, persons can go to the website, https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr /current/10csr/10c20-6.pdf under Section 10 CSR 20-6.011 fees.
Officers Elected
Group Seeks Public Input On Future Programming Officers were elected during a meeting of the Art’s Alive Board of Directors on Tuesday night. Art’s Alive is the organization recently formed to bring back the arts to Trenton and Grundy County. Elected as president was Dan Maxey while Amy Guthrie will serve as vice president. The secretary is Shani Kinney and Katie Kinney is treasurer. Other members of the board include Kim Cleeton, Cindy Guthrie, Diane Lowrey, Cheri McHargue, Jim Norris, Ann Plumb, Marlene
Ralston, Phil Schlarb, Carla Still, Terry Toms and Dan Wilford. It was reported that 62 persons have paid their $20 fee to become charter members of the group. Additional members are welcomed to join the organization and can contact Katie Kinney at Dynamic Tax and Accounting Services to pay their fee or call her after business hours at 654-1443. There was general discussion of possible programming ideas and it was decided to get feedback in regard to the types of programs that may be of in-
terest to the public. It was decided to invite members of the public to the organization’s monthly meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17 in the Sugg Room of the Ketcham Community Center. It is hoped that the Art’s Alive programming can compliment or incorporate some arts events already being held in the area. Maxey and Michael Baugher will be working to develop a logo that can be used by the organization in its pro-
The Community Blood Center will bring its bloodmobile to the North 65 Center on Monday, Sept. 9.

Commission Meeting Moved The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session next week on Monday, rather than Tuesday, due to scheduling conflicts. The only item listed on the announced agenda is a 10 a.m. meeting with Ambulance Director Steve Tracy.
R-9 Board To Meet The Trenton R-9 Board of Education will hold its regular monthly meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at the district office. Items on the announced agenda include bus routes, an early graduation request, MSBA membership, safety and emergency planning and principal reports. An executive session for personnel is also planned.
Park Board Workshop The Trenton Park Board held a workshop on Wednesday evening, discussing several items that will be brought up at the next regular meeting. Board President Duane Helmandollar said items to be discussed at the meeting included which fall material would be best for placement where the handicapped-accessible swings will be placed at Eastside Park; fees for all park facilities, including ballfields; the high dive at the Trenton Family Aquatic Center; and the deterioration of the concrete inside the aquatic center between the basketball goal and the slides. Helmandollar said any action to be taken would take place at the next board meeting, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Softball Games Coming Up Plans continue for the annual “Celebrity vs. Trenton Heroes” softball games, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14 at Griffin Field in the Ebbe Sports Complex.

Yearly August Assessment
DNR Fees Charged On Local Utility Bills Trenton Municipal Utilities customers have two extra line items on their August utility bill which, according to TMU Comptroller Rosetta Marsh, represents fees charged yearly by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and collected by the city that go to the DNR to pay for costs incurred by the state agency. Mrs. Marsh said that for the average residential water user, there is a $3 water primacy fee and an 80-cent sewer connect fee, both of which are charged every August by the DNR. The water primacy fee is used on all public water systems throughout the state, Mrs. Marsh said. Two percent of the primacy fee goes to the local public water system (TMU) to cover the costs of collecting the fee and the remainder is forwarded to the Missouri Department of Revenue for use by the DNR’s Public Drinking Water Branch. The department uses the primacy fee to fund testing for drinking water contaminants, inspections, compliance activities, complaint investigations and technical assistance. In
Danny Stevens and Billy Wilson offered to come in and help get the roof replaced as well as making repairs and improvements to the guttering and drainage systems. They did the work at cost and in some cases, for free, with the shelter to pay for it as funding becomes available. Currently, the board has managed to raise $11,000 of the $26,500 needed to pay off the project through it’s Raise The Roof Campaign. They are in the midst of a raffle to give away a Dixie Chopper Zee 2 Zero Turn Mower as well as planning a “Barktoberfest” din-

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS Trenton Bulldogs 9, Carrollton Trojanettes 0
Tennis Success Against Carrollton Continues As far as opponents to open the season with, it doesn’t get much better than the Carrollton Trojanettes for the Trenton High School girls tennis team. Trenton traveled on Tuesday to Carrollton, where the Bulldogs picked up a 9-0 victory against a team they have thoroughly dominated over the years. The win was the 23rd in a row for Trenton in the series with Carrollton, a streak that dates all the way back to the 1997 season. The dual itself was a microcosm of the series as a whole with Trenton dominating the contest from the beginning. Not only did the Bulldogs win all nine matches, Trenton limited Carrollton to just nine points total in the dual. Lexi Gott and Kendall Crowley scored an 8-4 win in the number-one doubles match and the scores only got worse from there. Gwyneth Foster and Mallory Sole combined for an 8-1 win in the number-two doubles match and Morgan Dolan and Alaina Overton rounded out doubles play with a shutout, winning 8-0. Singles action was more of the same as Gott scored an 8-2 win at number one and Crowley, Foster and Dolan all won 8-0 at positions two, three and four respectively. Sole was an 8-2 winner at number five and Overton closed the dual with an 8-0 win at number six. “It was great to start the season off with a win,” Trenton Coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “The girls were able to work through their beginning jitters and finish strong on the courts.” The win established a 1-0 record on the season for the Bulldogs. Trenton hosted the Savannah Savages on Thursday and will also be hosting Chillicothe on Monday, Sept. 9 and Bishop LeBlond on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL Lawson Cardinals 2, Trenton Bulldogs 0
Volleyball Team Drops Opener In Lawson, 2-0 The Trenton High School volleyball team opened the season on Tuesday night with a 25-12, 25-3 loss on the road against the Lawson Cardinals. Trenton was able to get points here and there in the first set, primarily off some successful serving. Allena Allen led Trenton with three aces on the night and Libby Fewins added an ace of her own. There were barely any points to come by in the second set, however, as Lawson closed the match with a dominating 25-3 win. Trenton established an 0-1 record to start the season with the loss. “We got our first matches under our belts,” Trenton Coach Pam Bowden said. “Hopefully we can use what we did and did not succeed in
to continue to improve as players and coaches.” Trenton dropped the C match and junior varsity contests as well. The C team fell 25-14, 25-18 and the JV lost 25-5, 25-11. In C game action, Zoie McGowan had two aces and Sarah Washburn had one assist and one ace. Katie Markell and Haley Shultz each had one kill and Jaimie Burkeybile added an assist. Washburn also had two aces in the JV game and Kaylea Boyle had one ace in the JV contest. Trenton returned to the court on Thursday with another tough challenge - a road trip to Chillicothe with JV and varsity matches. Trenton will also be traveling to Cameron on Monday, Sept. 9 and to Plattsburg on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Week Two - Trenton @ Lexington
MOVING ON
Trenton Set For Trip To Lexington
The Trenton Bulldogs couldn’t be happier to have the Lathrop game in the rearview mirror. After the Mules left Trenton with a 42-14 victory last Friday, Trenton immediately started looking forward to the rest of its schedule. By comparison to the now thirdranked Lathrop Mules, the schedule going forward looks much more pedestrian. The first stop post-Lathrop will take Trenton to Gil Rector Stadium in Lexington to face the Minutemen - a familiar foe on Trenton’s schedule through the years. Despite not having much success against Lexington in the recent past, a chance to get on the field against a team closer to Trenton’s skill level is a welcome change. Trenton has lost its last six games against Lexington, last beating the Minutemen in 2013. The Lexington team the Bulldogs will visit this week, however, isn’t quite the formidable beast the Minutemen have been in that stretch. Alvaro Porras, whose speed burnt the Bulldogs for several years, has finally graduated along with Sean Emerson and a host of others. In week one, Lexington struggled as new faces filled important roles, falling 28-12 to Quincy Notre Dame out of Quincy, IL. That was a team Lexington put away 32-22 the year before. The Lexington rebuild also includes a new head coach as Kyle Cogan takes over for Kyle Barkley, who served as the Minutemen’s head coach for seven seasons. Don’t expect the Minutemen to look much different, however, as Barkley - also the school’s athletic director - has simply reduced his role. He still serves as the team’s offensive coordinator, so Lexington shouldn’t veer from its traditional run-the-ball-on-everydown mantra. “(Lexington) is probably 85-to-90 percent run,” Trenton Head Coach Kevin Hixson said. “Their quarterback is quick, he is a tall kid and he has got some wheels. It simplifies things a little, we won’t be

so quick to drop in the pass, but they have a lead blocker in the backfield and they just try to play punishment football. They are going to bring it right at you. It’s really going to be a challenge for us this week as well as for our linebackers, who have to have better play.” While Trenton’s defense will have to counter Barkley’s power-running offense, the Bulldogs’ offense will need to find ways to keep drives alive. Last week, Trenton couldn’t sustain drives against Lathrop’s varsity. Keeping the offense on the field will be important for the Bulldogs this week as they look to jump start the offense that didn’t score until Lathrop’s JV took the field last Friday. “We put a couple of drives together, a couple of first downs together last Friday and it just seemed like we would take two steps forward, one step back,” Hixson said. “We have tried to tweak a few things, simplify a few things. It’s just a mentality of keeping a drive alive. Our biggest thing this week is winning first down.” The game against Lexington also marks an opportunity for Trenton in the district stand-

ings. Currently, Trenton is in a three-way tie at the bottom of the standings with the Minutemen and St. Joseph Christian. The winner of the TrentonLexington game Friday night will get a leg up and will be in a better positon to host a district game at the end of the season. The loser, with teams like Maryville, Lathrop and Lawson at the top of the district, is almost assured to travel for the district tournament opener in week 10. This week’s match-up is not a must win, however, Trenton could gain a lot simply by being competitive, especially with Grand River Conference play beginning the following week. “I thought we could have
0-1 (0-0 MRVC) Class 2 Dist. 8 -3 12 28 L1
done a little bit better job with effort against Lathrop,” Hixson said. “The touchdown right before halftime was disappointing. But, overall, I thought our effort was fair to partly cloudy. It’s got to be a lot better this week. We want to go into conference play feeling good about where we are at and what we are doing. That doesn’t mean this week is a must win for us, but it is a situation that could be a really positive thing. As long as our effort is better then we will be better than we were the week before. That’s kind of our goal right now, to get better every week.” Kickoff from Lexington Friday night is scheduled for 7 o’clock.

Princeton Needs Bounce Back Effort The Princeton Tigers are learning. That’s to be expected with a team featuring a new head coach in Nathan Powell, a new system in the Wing T and multiple first-year starters on both sides of the ball.

Tigers are taking it for - a learning experience. Ahead of their first home game of the season, Princeton is hoping the lessons learned in that week one contest lead to a win over the visiting North Platte Panthers in week two. “Last week gave us a great teaching opportunity,” Powell said. “A team as disciplined and experienced as Mid-Buch will definitely reveal any flaws you might have and we have learned from those this week. “The most important thing for us this week has been to focus on sharpening our execution and eliminating mental errors. North Platte is going to do a lot similar things to MidBuch schematically and we
now have a blueprint for what we want to do.” North Platte held Gallatin in check for the majority of the first half last week and trailed just 12-6 at the break. The Panthers couldn’t sustain the defensive effort, however, as Gallatin pulled away late to win 32-12. North Platte quarterback Andrew Hernandez accounted for both of his team’s scores, throwing a touchdown in the first half and running for another in the second. The key to the game for Princeton’s defense will be keeping the Panthers’ signal caller in check. North Platte is in the process of rebuilding. The Panthers have had a lot of success like they did in the first half of last

week’s game, but the wins have been fleeting. Powell doesn’t want to let his team be the victory North Platte is needing to jump start its program. “Establishing a culture of success and confidence isn’t an easy thing to do and doesn’t happen overnight,” Powell said. “We’re doing the same thing (at Princeton). It’s important for us to focus on all the details that will make us successful because that’s what we can control. We can’t do anything about the other team, but we can execute our schemes to the best of our ability and if we do, success will come with it.” Princeton has won two straight over North Platte, defeating the Panthers 58-22 for their first victory last season and shutting out North Platte 38-0 two years ago at the beginning of Princeton’s conference and district championship winning season. The Tigers and Panthers will kick off from Eddie Allen Field in Princeton at 7 p.m. on Friday.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL GOLF
HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL Maysville Wolverines 4, Princeton Tigers 1
Princeton Falls 4-1 To Defending State Champs The Princeton High School softball team had a tall order ahead of them as they opened the season on Tuesday - a road trip to face the defending state champion Maysville Wolverines. In the end, Princeton didn’t quite have the firepower to hang with the champs, falling 4-1 in Grand River Conference play. The Tigers, however, showed plenty of fight. Princeton put runners on second and third in the first inning, but couldn’t scratch a run across. After Maysville scored the game’s first run in the bottom of the frame, Princeton’s Carsey Brown took the first pitch of the fourth inning out of the park for a game-tying home run. That would be all the offense Princeton would get, however, as Maysville scored three more runs down the stretch to seal the seasonopening victory. Despite the final run coming on a Princeton error, the Tigers’ defense
was solid most of the night, turning a pair of double plays. “For the most part we played really stellar defense,” Princeton Head Coach Heather Hall said. “Offensively, we had lots of good hits, but we were unable to get a hit when we had runners in scoring position.” Princeton had eight hits in the game with Lindsey Batson and Lacie Lewis accounting for two each. Princeton stranded eight runners on base in the loss Lauren Krohn took the loss in the circle, throwing all six innings and allowing four runs, three earned, on eight hits and two walks while striking out two. Princeton looked to bounce back on Thursday, playing host to South Harrison, which was coming off a 16-1 GRC win over Polo in their season opener. The Tigers will travel to the Bill Hill Memorial Softball Tournament in Albany on Saturday.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
The Trenton High School girls golf team traveled to Brookfield with two players beginning their fourth year of high school golf and two players who only took up the sport at the beginning of last season. The results were what one might expect from such a group. Trenton got two scores in the 50’s and two scores that hovered around 70 for a team total of 255. That mark wasn’t enough to top host Brookfield, which carded their own team score of 210. “We definitely left some strokes out there, however, we also had some solid holes and shots,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “I thought the girls played well at times and are improving. I definitely think we are better than we were a year ago and, hope-
fully, that improvement continues.” Maci Henson led Trenton, carding a 56 over the nine-hole layout. Oakley Madden was right behind her fellow senior, shooting a 58. Mari Atup carded a 67 and Josie Chumbley finished with a 74 to round out Trenton’s total. The Bulldogs were playing with just four golfers. Brookfield’s Laken Sattman was the dual medalist, carding a score of 43. Trenton was back on the links on Thursday, playing host to Chillicothe in a dual at the Riverside Country Club. The Trenton golfers will be at home on Monday, Sept. 9 as well, playing host to the Marceline Tigers. Tee time at the Riverside Country Club is scheduled for 4 p.m.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Offense Full Of Options KANSAS CITY, Mo.

Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins were back. So were Travis Kelce and Damien

Williams. Added to the mix was speedster Mecole Hardman, the Chiefs' first selection in this past April's draft. So when the Chiefs made a bold, all-in play over the weekend to sign two-time AllPro running back LeSean McCoy, Mahomes could have been forgiven for not believing it. McCoy is expected to serve as the backup on Sunday when the Chiefs open the regular season with a trip to Jacksonville. "He's obviously been a great player in this league for a long time," Mahomes said of McCoy, "and someone who is a very intelligent guy to pick
up the offense this fast. Any time you add good players I'm excited." Nobody quite knows what the 31-year-old McCoy has left after a down season in Buffalo, one that led the Bills to release him over the weekend. But with the sheer quantity of playmakers the Chiefs have on offense, McCoy doesn't need to be the go-to player that he has been much of his career. That is one of the things that made signing with Kansas City so attractive. McCoy makes it clear that he expects to contribute in a big way to his first good

chance at making a Super Bowl run. But McCoy also understands that the core of the Chiefs offense has been together for more than a year, and that joining the mix on the eve of the regular season could be a bit awkward. "The majority of my career, I've been the key guy. I come here and I'm kind of down a little in the grouping," he said. "You have the quarterback and all of the wide receivers. Even in the backfield they have some good players. If you look at it that way, I can come here and do some things. I won't be the red dot that every game the defense is circling. That helps out when you have a lot of help around you." The natural question now is to ask whether coach Andy Reid has enough playing time for everyone. Hill is coming off a season in which he was third in the league with 12 touchdown receptions, and he led the NFL with 22 catches of at least 25 yards. Watkins had 40 catches despite missing long stretches to injuries. Kelce had the second-most prolific season in receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history, and Williams merely made everyone forget about Kareem Hunt down the stretch last year. Hardman has slid into the mix as the No. 3 wide receiver after an eye-opening training camp, and fellow rookie Darwin Thompson turned plenty of heads in the backfield during the preseason. Now, throw No. 25 into the mix. "That's what kind of makes the preseason difficult," Kelce said, "because you think, 'Man, I hope Coach Reid doesn't dial up my play that we were going to use during the season.' But every week the staff is going to put together a game plan that is going to get you excited." This weekend's plan could focus on Kelce, given the way the Jaguars like line up on defense. Two-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey has already indicated that he will shadow Hill, much as he did last season and often does against No. 1 wide receivers. That means running mate A.J. Bouye will likely cover Watkins and Kelce will have a linebacker or safety on him. That's the kind of mismatch that Mahomes shredded last season, when he threw for more than 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns. It's also the kind of mismatch that the Chiefs can expect when they have such a wide range of passcatching options capable of springing loose for a touchdown.

OP/ED
Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Another Successful Alumni Weekend It was another successful weekend for the alumni of Trenton High School with several classes holding fiveyear celebrations over the weekend in Trenton. This long-standing tradition continues with lots of alumni returning each year to visit with friends and classmates. Even if people have been away from here for several years, they always know that on every fifthyear anniversary of the year they graduated from THS, their class will be having a reunion and they can attend to catch up on old times. Wendell Lenhart It takes a lot of work to make this happen and each individual class has their own planning committee. The overall celebration is coordinated by the Foundation Trust for Trenton High School and kudos to that board for another successful weekend. It takes a lot of work on their part to coordinate mailings and keep track of thousands of alums and their addresses. It’s a lot of work, but I know of no other community high school reunions that are as successful. If you see or know one of the following officers and board members, tell them thanks for all their hard work in bringing lots of people to our community every Labor Day weekend: Dr. John Holcomb, Steve Muff, Steve Maxey, Katie Kinney, Kevin Bailey, Edward McCarty, James Hughes, Dr. Bev Hooker, Dr. NiCole Neal, Cara McClellan and Phil Ray. ##### Next week is the 18th anniversary of the events of 9/11 in which terrorists attacked and killed thousands of innocent people in our country. It still gets me when I am watching older movies and television shows that show both towers of the World Trade Center in the skyline of New York City. It always reminds me of that day and the awful way people lost their lives. I still can’t believe some persons had to choose between being burned to death or buried alive and suffocating in a collapsing building. Some of those people also had to make the choice of jumping out of a window and falling hundreds of feet to their death. There are usually several shows on television on Sept. 11 about the events of that day to remind us of just how gruesome a day it was and of the heroes among us. I will look for and watch them again to remind me. We must never forget.

What Others Are Saying... Should State Own Penitentiary Since the May 22 tornado, area residents have debated the question: Should the state pay an estimated $9.4 million to repair the old Missouri State Penitentiary? Maybe the question should be: Should the state still own the old prison?
Guest Editorials Even before the prison closed in 2004, a state law established an MSP Redevelopment Commission and gave it the power to acquire the title to the property. That never happened. Some would argue maintaining an old prison goes beyond state government's role of providing essential services to taxpayers. But it's not unprecedented for government to maintain such historic sites. Alcatraz, once a feared prison, now is operated by the National Park Service and is open for tours. Likewise, MSP is historic. Known as the "bloodiest 50 acres in America," it opened in 1836 and was the oldest operating prison west of the Mississippi by the time it closed in 2004. Its history is filled with stories of riots, violence, escapes and famous inmates. Since 2008, thousands of people have streamed in to tour the historic site. But should the state continue to own the property? The site needs $9.4 million in repairs from the tornado. Even before the tornado, it needed a good amount of restoration from aging. Some would argue it makes sense for the state, which could come up with such a sum of money, to

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 REPLACING OUR RURAL BRIDGES
In rural north Missouri, we travel a lot of miles every day - it’s just a fact of life. We know that our roads and bridges are in desperate need of repair. Inadequately maintained roads and bridges cause needless delays and detours, greatly impacting public safety and commerce. Some bridges have been reduced to one lane, increasing the risk of accidents and causing confusion. Others are weight limited, keeping school buses, semis and farm equipment from using them. Inconvenient as they may be, these cautionary measures are designed to keep the bridges open to smaller vehicle traffic, until
they can be replaced. The State of Missouri suffers from a large number of structurally deficient bridges, many of which are in my district. The average bridge in Missouri is 48 years old - most were only designed to last for 50 years. As a result, more than 900 bridges in our state are rated as “poor’ by the Federal Highway Administration. Right now, MODOT simply doesn’t have the money to fix and replace all of these bridges. That said, we are making progress when it comes fixing and replacing these aging bridges. This past week I was pleased to announce that the Missouri Department of Transporta-
tion will be receiving a $20.7 million federal grant to fix many of our bridges in north Missouri. The grant money will go to MODOT’s Fixing Access to Rural Missouri bridge replacement program. The program proposes to replace 40 bridges, specifically in nNorth Missouri. This will go a long way towards updating our crumbling infrastructure. Not only will these bridges get replaced, but it will also enable other important rural transportation projects to be completed earlier than expected. I applaud MODOT’s focus on upgrading North Missouri’s rural infrastructure. Ensuring we maintain and upgrade our infrastructure continues to be a top priority of mine because it is so critical to folks in rural and urban Missouri alike. I look forward to seeing these bridges constructed for the continued safety and economic vitality of north Missouri.
keep owning/maintaining the prison. However, the state hasn't shown consistent dedication in maintaining MSP as a historic site or giving local entities a good amount of leeway to transform it into a more productive use. Last year, the state deeded about 32 acres of the prison property to the city. That land didn't contain the historic buildings on the prison tours. The gas chamber is on the land, but the state retained ownership of it. City and Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau officials seem happy with their MSP partnership with the state under Gov. Mike Parson. But it hasn't always been that way. Under former Gov. Jay Nixon's administration, for instance, some local leaders felt hamstrung with their MSP efforts. Since the tornado, the state hasn't come up with a plan to fund repairs to MSP, and the Jefferson City CVB has stopped the prison tours it had operated there. It's unknown when they will resume. With declining inmates nationwide, other states are dealing with the issue of how to make past prisons productive again. Many have incorporated public-private partnerships. That could be a viable solution for MSP. We should reconsider this, as it was the original intent of the postprison property. The state could divest itself from the property, which it no longer needs, and let the city, CVB and private businesses take over. It still could be maintained as a historic property, while using a combination of private capital, tax incentives and possibly public bonding to fund repairs/maintenance. — Joplin Globe

RESEARCH FROM MU FIELD DAYS SAVES FARM TIME, ADDS PROFITS To workers, time amounts to dollars. As I age, time shrinks as my stamina drops. Time gains value. Walking my ag beat on campus, I find extension specialists have less time to tell their stories. There seem to be fewer workers to cover more topics. A common comment: “I’m working on grant applications to fund my research.� Also, specialists seem to write more reports answering bureaucratic requests. In a brief visit with a new state specialist this week, I learned about Missouri farmers’ needs. He talks with farmers, answering questions. He says farmers want to cut time spent farming. They want to save time to do more. To gain attention, our stories should tell of improved efficiency. Many farmers also have outside jobs to help make ends meet. That’s not how farming should be. I hope farmers save time to attend coming MU Field Days at research farms. Good ones are ahead. At 8:30 a.m., Sept 10, MU Forage Systems Research Center, Linneus, researchers will tell many topics about grazing. Field days let farmers hear results beginning to
show. Guidesheets come later. Harley Naumann, MU research agronomist, uses sunn hemp to fill a summer growth slump on fescue. First off, this is not that kinda Hemp. (Fiber Hemp grows elsewhere at FSRC. It’s on the tour.) Harley’s hemp is a warm-season legume. No-till planted into fescue pastures, it adds gains. Maybe best, it’s a legume adding nitrogen. Natural nitrogen saves time in adding fertilizer. The N feeds grass and boosts grass growth and quality. By grazing feeder calves, he learned management. Those methods save farmers’ time as well. It’s not secret, but the story hasn’t been printed. Attending farmers get first looks. Eric Bailey, MU nutritionist, has studies on how to reduce damage done by toxic tall fescue. His research at MU Southwest Center has cut fescue alkaloids, the toxin, in half. That doubled calf gains, saving time in raising calves, Eric comes from dry Southwestern states. He brings management ideas. His controlled burns on fescue removed seed heads. Fire boosts quality. Allison Meyers, MU beef nutritionist, did intensive research
at MU South Farm to improve calf growth. No one had studied cow diet influence on unborn calves. Neglecting pregnant-cow feed harms calf growth after the birth. It makes sense. That study took lots of student time monitoring calves. With known results, farmers save time in calf care. Jordan Thomas did his research at MU Thompson Farm, Spickard. He’ll sharing findings at FSRC. He works on timed breeding with artificial insemination on beef herds. That seems like extra work. But, time savings at breeding and calving are amazing. It’s a case of cutting time and boosting value. Sometimes, research brings results that leave farmers asking: Can that work? Believe it. But, first hear it at the field day. A Thompson Farm Field Day will be at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24. That moved to late afternoon to attract farmers with day jobs. There’s more from Jordan Thomas on sexed-semen AI breeding. This will be new at the field day. More reports to come. MU administrators at the Delta Center Field Day in the Bootheel, talked about ShowMe-Select Heifer research from Spickard. It adds millions to Missouri farm income. When field days end, we start thinking about fall ShowMe-Select Heifer sales. Those are like field days on cattle breeding. I’ll eat my spinach to see if I keep up with all the news. Send your ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com.
USDA Revises Insurance Policies For Farmers With volatile livestock market prices, farmers now have more appealing insurance underwritten by the USDA. The federally subsidized protection has been revised and simplified. Ryan Milhollin, University of Missouri Extension economist, says that while crop farmers are protecting against losses, livestock producers haven’t done as much. USDA Risk Management Agency heard complaints and revised Livestock Risk Protection (LRP), Milhollin says. Higher subsidies on premiums may especially appeal to farmers growing feeder calves. A policy covers unexpected lower sale prices. When prices fall, a policy softens loss. Buyers can obtain full or partial coverage. Lower protection costs less. New policies fit small producers and are more flexible. The policies partially cover price shortfalls below expected prices. Percent of coverage can be adjusted. The premium subsidy, which had been 13%, now ranges from 20% to 35%, depending on the plan chosen. MU agricultural economists, including Milhollin, wrote MU Extension publication G459, which explains LRP and other livestock and dairy risk plans. The newly updated four-page guide is available for free download. Missouri farmers avoided complexities of the old system. That left them exposed to risk. This year, Missouri farmers insured only 5,000 head of feeder calves, down from 30,000 in 2014. While USDA underwrites LRP, policies come only from local insurance agents. Usually, they also sell crop insurance. There are many LRP advantages, he says. Risk management protects from financial loss when sale prices drop. Most appealing, USDA helps pay premiums. LRP provides protection similar to a “put option� on the futures market. But it’s easier and more flexible. Policy coverage fits the number of weeks a calf herd is held. There are no broker fees LRP insurance covers only market prices. It doesn’t compensate for other losses, such as death by disease or lightning. Further, ending values aren’t based on actual sale prices. Payments rely on indexes and market data sets. “Farmers need to understand their local markets,� Milhollin says. LRP covers much more than feeder calves. But fewer farmers retain feeders into the feedlot. LRP also cover hogs and sheep. A separate risk plan covers dairy. MU Extension publication G459, “Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) Insurance in Missouri,� is at extension2.missouri.edu/g459.
Now Is The Time To Plant Cool-Season Grasses “Plant cool-season grasses in September,� says Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension forage agronomist. “The earlier the better.� Early planting lets seedlings put down roots to start growth before frost. New plantings must store energy for spring growth. In northern Missouri that means putting seed in the ground the first week of September. Ozark plantings can wait until mid-September. A late frost would help all. Orchardgrass and tall fescue are favored in Missouri. Other options are timothy, bromegrass and perennial ryegrass. Fescue has staying power under Missouri grazing conditions. Missouri isn’t easy on forages.
Weather can be too cold, too hot and too dry. Over time, most grass needs reseeding, Roberts says. Fall seeding lets them get started for grazing next year. Then they must be used gently to start. Missouri’s most used cool-season grass is K-31 tall fescue. Hardiness makes it popular. But K-31 brings many harmful side effects. Its hardiness comes from an endophyte fungus that protects the plant from pests—and grazing. That toxic fungus hurts livestock gains and reproduction. “The absolute best cool-season grass is one of the novel-endophyte fescues,� Roberts says. In new grasses, plant breeders have replaced
toxic endophyte with nontoxic novel endophytes. Novel-endophyte fescues are hardier than endophyte-free fescue. Livestock thrive on them. Novel fescues need more care because cattle graze them into the ground if unmanaged. All pastures benefit from management-intensive grazing taught in Missouri grazing schools. Attending a grazing school allows farmers to gain cost-share dollars from local soil and water conservation districts. Information on grazing schools comes from local MU Extension centers or NRCS offices. Grass seeding is best done with notill drill. This takes careful control for

What Can You Expect? When assessing your need for long-term care insurance, start by gaining an understanding of what the limitations of Medicare coverage are. Medicare Part A covers skilled nursing facility care if the diagnosed condition and treatment meet three requirements. Prior to entering the nursing home, you must have been hospitalized for three days, and you must be admitted to the nursing home within 30 days of having been discharged from the hospital. In addition, a licensed doctor must certify that skilled nursing care is necessary and the nursing home you go to must be a Medicare-certified facility. Because you may not meet these strict requirements, your nursing home stay may not be covered. Long-term care coverage may be more flexible. Long-term insurance is coverage that will pay for assisted living, nursing home care or home health care in the event you are unable to care for yourself because of a chronic condition or disability. At Robert Barnes Insurance Agency, we have over three decades of experience in working with senior products. To learn more, please call 660-359-5973. We assure that you are well informed of the options available, which allows you to be comfortable in the decisions you must make about your health care coverage. Our office is located at 915 E.

shallow seeding. “Plant no more than a quarter-inch deep,� Roberts says. “If planted too deep, seedlings may not emerge.� A drill set incorrectly may not cut through thatch for seed to make good soil contact. In a thinning pasture grown for many years, thatch may be a major concern. Some soil preparation may be needed. Concerns about drill-settings remain on prepared ground. Roberts says to calibrate the drill for 15 pounds of live seed per acre. After starting to drill, stop and check results before going too far. Dig up seed to check depth. Make corrections as needed. “With shallow planting, some seed

ner and auction in October (see sidebar). This is not the first time the shelter board, which was formed in 1999, has looked to the community to help make improvements to the facility. Last year, the “Light Up the World” campaign helped replace all of the lighting in the building with energy-efficient LED lighting. Wilson got the lights at cost and volunteer electricians helped install them, resulting in a decrease in electric usage and a savings in utilities. The organization is making an impact in Trenton and the surrounding area as evidenced by the fact that in the first seven months of 2019 the shelter has placed 142 animals into their forever homes. That number totaled 285 in 2018. The shelter is a “promise shelter” in that animals are not euthanized to make more space. In addition to adoptions, the shelter provides and participates in community outreach programs such as Pups Go to College at North Central Missouri College and partners with the Missouri Department of Corrections in the Puppies for Parole program. The shelter operates with money from donations and adoption fees and while it has a boarding contract with the city for the first five days an
animal is housed there, they do not receive a revenue tax. A minimum number of grants are available, but they cannot be used for operating expenses. The financial situation is the biggest challenge facing the shelter right now and the board may likely be faced with making a decision to become a smaller shelter or, in a worstcase scenario, closing the doors within the next five years. “We operate on a shoe-string budget. The costs we have utilities, food, medication, payroll, which is minimum staff and part time at that, are kept as low as possible,” Mrs. Webb commented, noting that donations of items such as bleach, laundry detergent, blankets and toys help defray costs and are always appreciated - as are volunteers to help walk the dogs, assist with cleaning and laundry, work at the front desk and complete data entry. “Every volunteer hour helps us greatly,” she said. “We rely on the generosity of our supporters and our adopters. We cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciate the support we have received and continue to receive from the community.” Those wishing to make a tax-deductible donation to the Raise the Roof Campaign can do so by leaving them at the shelter or mailing them to GHAS, 3041 E. 10th St., Trenton, MO 64683.

What is your take on this total disrespect for everyone involved? -- Offended By Unwanted Guest Dear Offended By Unwanted Guest: Unless the invitation specifically mentioned that pets were welcome, you are absolutely correct. It was rude of the guest to bring her uninvited and unwanted dog. Of course, I say this assuming that it was not a service animal. I am a dog lover, but I couldn't imagine bringing one of my dogs to a dinner party uninvited. If I encountered it the way you did, I would have had the same reaction you did. Woof.

out the years. I have a new boss, and he seems to be getting rid of the few people who have worked here longest. A couple have left after being moved to difficult jobs they had never done before. He puts them into work situations that he knows will make them leave. He is now giving a younger man my job as a co-position. Both of us are supposedly equals in one job, except that the younger man makes about $18,000 a year more than I do. I believe this is to get me to quit. This job has been a one-person job for more than 20 years. I thought that it is illegal to pay a man more than a woman doing the exact same job. I have many years of experience, while he has never done the job. I will not leave. Do I have grounds for a lawsuit?

you. If the facts are as you state them, by all means find a lawyer who specializes in workplace discrimination against seniors. Sounds like you've got a strong case. Dear Annie: It seems an easy fix for those teens who neglect dental care. Just tell them that no potential girlfriend or boyfriend will want to talk with them, much less share a smooch or two, if their mouths stink. After the anticipated eyerolling and harrumphing, we taught our boys table manners by telling them that someday they'll have dinner at a girl's home with her family, and knowing where to put their napkin, how to chew with their mouths closed and which fork to use will impress her parents, most likely garnering them a return invitation. They just needed the right motivation. -Mom Who's Been There Dear Mom Who's Been There: Teaching children good manners is always a good thing. You sound like a great mother.

Cagey contracts State securities regulators are urging the public to be wary of a risky investment that’s gaining popularity but is often falsely marketed by scammers seeking to profit off ordinary people. So-called contracts for difference generally are only available to wealthy individuals or institutional investors, the North American Securities Administrators Association says. But they’re also aggressively promoted in scams, in online, newspaper, TV and radio ads or unsolicited phone calls, as exciting opportunities for retail investors to speculate in markets. Usually, the money isn’t
invested in anything but is simply stolen. In a contract for difference, or CFD, a buyer and seller speculate on what the price of an underlying asset — a stock, commodity, Treasury bond or market sector — will be at a specific time. If the asset’s value increases by the specified time, the seller pays the buyer the difference. If it declines, the buyer pays the seller the difference. Scam warning signs include promised high returns at little or no risk; appeals to attend trading seminars or buy software to unlock the mysteries of CFDs; and requests to wire money offshore.

THS Alumni Celebrate Reunions Over Labor Day Weekend The annual Trenton High School Alumni Weekend celebration took place on Aug. 30Sept. 1 with several classes reunions being held. Classes reporting their activities to the Republican-Times include: Classes 1939-46 Five Trenton High School classes met together on Saturday, Aug. 31 for lunch at Dino’s Restaurant. Mary Lou Crawford was emcee and welcomed and introduced each one. Vernie “Junior” Witten gave the blessing. The table was decorated with black vases filled with black and golden flowers and placed on a gold table runner. Greetings were received from Ralph Parker and Bob Witten. Dorothy McMullen graduated 80 years ago and was presented with a rose vase. Donald McCullough and daughter brought fresh peaches from Colorado, which were shared with everyone. Mrs. Crawford stressed the importance of paying the annual dues of $15 to the alumni association and also recognized Dr. John Holcomb and Steve Maxey for the many hours they give to the association throughout the year. Mrs. Crawford announced the names of those who have died the last year from the class of 1943 - Louis Watkins, Martha Owens Stone, Virginia Winter Rusk, Marjorie Peters Ecklund, Willa Lee Buck King and Jim Witten. Information is sought on Calvin Wylde and Jean Hatton and persons are asked to contact Mrs. Crawford at 359-2851.

“A Word From...�
by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance Terry Cobb St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? In Luke 10:25-37, an expert in the law asks, “Who is my neighbor?� Jesus responds by telling him the parable of the Good Samaritan. From the parable, the expert learned that we are all neighbors. No countries, religions, or social status separate us. I learned this lesson firsthand from a stranger. It was 1984, before the fall of the Berlin Wall,

and I was traveling alone at the Frankfurt, Germany railway station waiting for a train to Heidelberg where I would join a group of other young adults touring Bavaria. Although I knew perhaps three words of German, I had all the confidence and blissful ignorance of a 24-yearold girl as I stood holding my ticket within the German crowd. My train was scheduled for 2 p.m. and, with famous German precision, a train arrived at my platform precisely on time. As I proceeded to board, a firm grip on my shoulder stopped me mid-step and spun me around. “Nein! Berlin!� said a tall gentleman with piercing blue eyes, dressed in a brown business suit, and old enough to be my grandfather. He pointed to the train behind the one I was set to board. “Heidelberg.�

I was so stunned and grateful that I spouted “thank you� in every language I could think of - all of which I’m sure sounded like Pig-Latin to this kind man. I pushed my way through the crowd and boarded the correct train as its doors closed. My situation was nothing as dire as that of the beaten man in the parable of the Good Samaritan. I was in no danger and had the German gentleman not stopped me, I’m pretty sure I would not have ended up in Berlin. Instead, I would have missed my train to Heidelberg, which would have been a logistical nightmare. His act of kindness saved me embarrassment and inconvenience. A mere 40 years prior to my encounter with the German gentleman, our countries were at war with each other. This man was old enough

to have been affected by World War II and the Allied bombing of his country, whether it was the loss of family members, property, or livelihood. Yet, he went out of his way to be kind to me, an American and a foreigner. At the end of the Good Samaritan parable, Jesus asks the expert in the law who was a neighbor to the beaten and robbed man. The expert replied, “The one who had mercy on him.� Jesus then told him, “Go and do likewise.� This German gentleman showed me who our neighbors are. He treated me like he would have treated his family or an acquaintance. It was a simple act of kindness that he probably chuckled about to his family and then quickly forgot. But after all these years, I have not forgotten. Jesus said, “Go and do likewise.� We are all neighbors.

ED Committee Has Meeting The Economic Development Committee of the Trenton City Council met on Tuesday night, discussing several items involving tourism. City Administrator Ron Urton said the committee discussed having a brochure developed that would have general tourism information about the community, with inserts to be added each month to tell about specific events. Committee Chairman Cathie Smith and North Central Missouri Development Alliance Director Micah Landes will head up that effort, with information to be reported back to the city council at its meeting on Sept. 9. There was also discussion about a hotel/motel tax, with more information to be obtained before a recommendation is made. Urton said that according to state statute, a public vote to approve the tax would be required. Andrea McGowan, repre-
senting the Mid-America Music Festival, visited with the committee about the economic impact of the event and ways the city could assist in helping make the event grow. One suggestion involved the need for drivers who could provide transportation to performers who come into the community prior to the festival. The committee also heard reports from Mrs. Landes and Megan Derry, director of the Main Street Trenton and Trenton Downtown Improvement Association, who updated members of various upcoming activities. Ms. Derry also talked about the new “Main Street Mercantile,” which will be providing space for potential business owners who are not yet ready to have their own business space, but who are in need of an area to sell their product. Urton said the business owners would share costs until they are ready to go out on their own.
