In an effort to get the architectural firm that best suits the needs of the Trenton R-9 School District as it moves forward with a potential building project, the board of education has set up a committee to pare down a list of requests for proposals before the board makes its final decision. The district has received nine proposals to provide architectural services for a project under consideration by the board. Because of the large number of proposals, Superintendent Dan Wiebers requested, and the board agreed, to have two members of the board, along with other school staff, review the proposals and narrow the list to three for the board to consider. Cliff Roeder and Dorothy Taul will meet
Virtual Class Policies Approved
with staff on Thursday, with the full board holding a special meeting next week to make a final decision. At a meeting in September, board members agreed to seek architectural proposals as they consider whether or not to move forward with a project that would include construction of a performing arts center as well as enclosing the walking area between the high school/middle school complex and band room. Renovations to the high school/middle school media center and C.F. Russell Stadium would also be included. With bond payments for the middle school construction coming to an end next year, the 90-cent levy now being used for those payments would become available
for the district to use for other projects. Wiebers said that if voters were to agree to continue assessing the levy, the district would have around $7 million in bonding capacity available that could be used for the proposed project. That would mean the project could be done with no increase to the existing levy. A four-sevenths majority vote would be needed for the levy to be continued. The board approved several MSBA policy updates regarding virtual courses being made available to students through legislation approved by the Missouri Legislature. The Missouri Course Access Program gives students the option to take online courses that may

Week 8
Trenton @ POLo
Opportunity On The Table For Trenton
As the high school football calendar rolls into week eight, the Trenton Bulldogs will get a reprieve from the challenges they have faced over the past three weeks. After going toe-to-toe with teams still alive in the hunt for the Grand River Conference championship in Princeton, Milan and South Harrison, the Bulldogs will drop down in the competition level this week when they travel to Polo. The Polo Panthers sit at 0-7 on the season in Head Coach Reid Stephens’ first year. Trenton, just 1-6 in its own right, will have its best chance at a victory since a 35-14 win in week four against Putnam County - the lone mark in the win column for the Bulldogs this season. Trenton has history on its side in this week’s match-up as well. Trenton defeated the Panthers on a late touchdown in 2016 before pummeling Polo 56-20 last season behind 579 rushing yards. This year’s Trenton Bulldogs are a far cry from the previous renditions, however, and Trenton Head Coach Brandon Boswell knows his team can’t overlook anyone this year. “We’re taking Polo just as serious as we have taken teams every week,� Boswell said. “I know they haven’t won a game but, watching them on film, they have got some good players. Nick Meyers, Wyatt Seager and Cody Blackwell their skills players, I think - are really good.� While Polo has some talented players who will have the ball in their hands, the lack of size up front has been an issue this season. That has forced the Panthers to
get creative trying to give its skill players a chance to create plays. “They aren’t really trying to run down hill at you,� Boswell said. “They try to get to the edge or off-tackle. Once they get your defense running, they will try to hit you with a counter play or maybe up the middle where the linebackers are vacating. I think it’s a pretty good system for what they have. They just, unfortunately, haven’t been able to sustain drives. If they get behind the chains with the run and are forced to throw, they have hit some big pass plays. But for any high school team that doesn’t commit a lot of time to throwing the ball it’s pretty hard to do.� Offensively, Trenton will look to continue to grow its passing game, which struck for over 200 yards last week, far and away a season high. A big reason for the Bulldogs’ growth through the air has been the breakout performance of Jaren Whitney. Whitney, in his first year as a starter, has hauled in 11 catches for 282 yards and three touchdowns on the season. All of the production has come in the last four games after Whitney went without a catch in weeks one through three. Starting in week four, however, Trenton began throwing the ball more and Whitney caught fire, culminating in a four-catch, 137-yard night last week in Bethany. “Jaren has really come around,� Boswell said. “I thought this year, going through the off-season, that he had a chance to do some really good things. His season was cut short last year with a col-
lar bone injury, but just the way he developed this off-season in terms of his strength and his ability to jump and his speed, I really thought he could kind of have a breakout year. “At the start of this year, when we were having trouble throwing the ball, teams really started stacking the box against us. I honestly can’t remember the last time we saw two high safeties. So when teams are doing that it makes it easier on Jaren to get open.� Trenton will hope the added production in the passing game will get a player or two out of the box for Polo and allow the ground game to have a bounce back week after the Bulldogs struggled to get much done running the ball last week. With the way Trenton ran the ball on Polo last season, getting the ground game up and running would be a big step toward a win. The Bulldogs and Panthers will kick off from Bob Shearer Stadium in Polo at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Quick Look At The Polo Panthers
Head Coach: Reid Stephens, 1st year at Polo 2018 Record: 0-7, 0-5 GRC Last Week: Lost 20-6 at Putnam County It has been a trying season for Polo in Head Coach Reid Stephens’ first year guiding the Panthers. Last week, Polo was handed its seventh-straight loss of the year, one that came after the Panthers made the longest road trip in the conference, traveling two hours to Unionville. In the seven games played this year, Polo has scored just 52 points, an average of just over one touchdown per contest. Who To Watch: Wyatt Seager, Jr. (5-8, 140), WB #6 Seager is Polo’s everything man. The Panthers will look to get him in space in multiple ways, whether it be throwing to him or running him on sweeps around the end. Trenton will have to be sure to keep a man on Seager at all times.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
When Trenton senior Werthen Gass made the turn on Monday in the Class 1, Section 3 Tournament at Heritage Hills Golf Course in Moberly, she had a score of 50. It was a mark that had her comfortably in position to advance to the MSHSAA Girls Golf Championships for a third-consecutive season. But Gass wasn’t satisfied with just getting back to state. Gass parred the first two holes after the turn and then closed the tournament with a birdie - an exclamation point on her second-nine score of 44. The two numbers combined gave Gass a final tally of 94, placing her in a tie for fourth individually at the tournament and sending her back to the state tournament yet again. Gass carded four pars and the one birdie on the day, placing herself among the best to pick up a club for the Trenton Bulldogs by earning her third-career state tournament bid. “Werthen struggled a bit on her first
nine - holes 10 through 18 - shooting a 50,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “But, she settled in on her next nine and played much better to finish tied for fourth overall, sending her to state once again.” Gass made her first trip to state as a sophomore in 2016, shooting a two-day total of 204 at Meadow Lake Acres in New Bloomfield, and placing in a tie for 68th overall. Last year as a junior, Gass shot a 94 in a rain-shortened state tournament at the Columbia Country Club to finish tied for 31st. This year’s state tournament will be played at a familiar course for Gass Mozingo Lake in Maryville. That’s a course Gass has seen at least once a year during the season playing for the Bulldogs. “Sectionals is a survive-and-advance dance,” Mullenix said. “Now (Gass) has got an opportunity to go play a course that

Volleyball Team Handed Home Loss
The Trenton High School volleyball team was at home on Monday night, falling to the visiting Lexington Minutewomen, 25-17, 25-20. Trenton was able to stay with Lexington for the majority of both games, but late pushes by the Minutewomen down the stretch doomed the Bulldogs each time, sending the visitors home with a 2-0 victory. Karli Provorse had four kills, two blocks, five digs and an ace to pace Trenton while Teresa Yoder added four kills as well and tallied four digs and an ace. Melea Farmer handed out a team-high six assists and had six digs and a kill and Saedee Jackson had three kills and a dig. Trenton also got two kills, five digs and an assist from Allena Allen and a kill, an assist and three digs from Evy McCullough.Gilcy Ando had two aces and a dig, Laura Carlson had five digs and Olivia Roberts had one dig. vs. LEBLOND On Tuesday night, Trenton traveled to St. Joseph to face LeBlond. The result was the same as the night before as Trenton fell in straight games, 25-18, 25-15. The Bulldogs dug a huge hole, falling behind 21-6 in the opening game with the Golden Eagles. Nine-straight service points from Savannah Martin, however, brought Trenton back. The Bulldogs would win 12-of-15 points to draw within 24-18, but LeBlond finally ended the threat, taking game point. “We did not start off very well in the first set,” Trenton Head Coach Amanda King said. “We were not able to return a serve consistently. However, Savannah stepped up with nine huge serves and with some mistakes on LeBlond’s end we were able to close the gap. Our girls started reading
she is familiar with in hopes of bettering her finish at last year’s tourney. I’m very proud of what she’s been able to accomplish over her career and look forward to seeing what she can do in her final state tournament.” In addition to Gass, Maci Henson was also in action at Monday’s sectional. Henson carded a 116 in her second-straight trip to sectionals, missing the cut for state. Like Gass, Henson started on the back nine and struggled a bit, however, the junior wasn’t able to turn things around on the front side the way Gass was. She finished with nine-hole splits of 57 and 59. “Maci had a very good season” Mullenix said. “She was able to make it through districts again, but just didn’t have the day she needed to get through sectionals. She’s becoming a good golfer and has one more shot at the state tournament next year.” The state tournament is scheduled to tee off at 8:30 a.m. on Monday in Maryville.

Trenton quarterback Coleman Griffin splits two defenders during the middle school Bulldogs’ 26-14 loss to South Harrison on Monday night at C.F. Russell Stadium. Griffin had a 44-yard touchdown pass, a one-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion run in the loss.
For one final time in 2018, the Trenton Middle School football team stepped on the gridiron at venerable old C.F. Russell Stadium. In what was the last game of the season for the middle school squad, the Bulldogs were handed a 26-14 loss by visiting South Harrison. Trenton struggled offensively all game long, tallying just 108 yards of offense in the loss. Through one half, the Bulldogs trailed 12-0. The Bulldogs would cut the lead to 12-8 momentarily in the third quarter when Coleman Griffin found Dylan Spencer for a 44-yard catch and run for a touchdown. Grif-
fin ran in the two to draw Trenton within four points. After South Harrison answered with a 57-yard touchdown run, Griffin scored on a one-yard run in the third quarter, bringing Trenton to within a single possession at 20-14. South Harrison put the game away with a 32-yard run, giving the game its final score of 26-14. “I'm really proud of how hard the boys fought in the second half,” Trenton Head Coach Jon Guthrie said. “They came out of the locker room down two scores and kept fighting to keep the pressure on.” Griffin had 26 yards rushing
to go with his one completion of 44 yards to lead Trenton offensively. On the defensive side, Ian Elbert and Sam Gibson led the way with eight and seven tackles, respectively. Elbert forced a fumble as well, which was covered up by Griffin for Trenton’s lone takeaway. “Overall, I’m very proud of the TMS Bulldogs this year,” Guthrie said. “They’re a great group of boys that work hard and have great character. I look forward to seeing them play at the next level.” With the loss, Trenton closed the season with a 2-4 overall record.

Things Are Looking Up
I recently had the chance to attend meetings where representatives from Nestlé and Modine Manufacturing spoke about current and future operations of their businesses. And from what they had to say, things are looking good for our local economy in the future. Andy Darley, plant manager at Nestlé, was the speaker at the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce’s quarterly luncheon last month and talked about what has happened at the local facility since Nestlé took over ownership in late June. Starting with Diane Lowrey a workforce of around 110, those numbers have already increased and Darley anticipates even more growth as improvements are made to the local plant, including the addition of a distribution center after the first part of the year. The company is investing over $5 million in new equipment and Darley said nearfuture plans call for the addition of a second kitchen (i.e. second line) to expand production. He emphasized that the work being done now and what is scheduled in the future falls in line with the company’s 30-year plan for the Trenton facility. Modine, meanwhile, continues to see additional contracts coming to Trenton, resulting in more jobs locally. Miles Moore, who spoke at a recent meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, said the local plant currently employs 218 workers, including 164 hourly, 27 salaried and 27 temps. The company primarily makes aluminum radiators and cooling modules, contracting with such companies as Freightliner, Chrysler-Daimler, International, etc. Moore noted that there are several new program launches at the local plant, including a recent contract that will have business at the Trenton facility through 2026. Additional business is anticipated being awarded in the near future. Modine will be showing off its plant to the public on Nov. 3 during an open house planned to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary in Trenton. The good news from these two local employers, along with other community projects currently under way (construction of a new Dollar General Store and downtown revitalization efforts coming to mind), indicate a rebounding economy in Trenton. Other projects being considered, but not yet finalized and announced, will only add to the positive upturn we are now seeing in our community - continuing to make Trenton a good place to live and raise a family.

INSURANCE CORNER by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO
Medicare Supplemental Insurance
Medicare Supplemental Insurance, popularly known as. “Medigap” policy, is private insurance that helps pay some of the healthcare costs (such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles) that are not covered by Original Medicare (Parts A and B). Those deciding to purchase a Medigap plan instead of Medicare Advantage Plan will have a choice among a range of plans (A through N, in most states) that offer standardized benefits across each plan letter. Thus, the primary difference between each plan of the same type is cost. With this in mind, it is important to iron out the details with an experienced and knowledgeable insurance agent, who can help with the selection of the most suitable plan. Note: During the Medigap Open Enrollment Period, if you have health problems, an insurance company cannot refuse to sell you any Medigap policy or charge you more for a Medigap policy than they charge a person with no health problems. Medigap policies do not cover long-term care, dental care, vision care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and private-duty nursing. To learn more about Medigap plans, please call ASSURE MISSOURI & ASSOCIATES at 660-359-5973. We evaluate your coverage needs and financial limitations to determine which program(s) are right for you. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.

PHOTOGRAPHS USED ON TWITTER DON’T MAKE GREAT JOURNALISM
Storytelling, an ancient art, gains relevance today. As humans learned to talk, storytelling built our culture. Caveman families sat around the fire sharing stories. Words told tales of that day. Later, caveman pictures on the walls showed stories. That opened the way for photojournalism, I speculate. After an intense week of Missouri Photo Workshop in Mountain Grove, I continue thinking of storytelling. This week, the New York Times tells of emerging Behaviorist Economics. Two recent Nobel Prize winners in economics have been psychologists. This psychological economics differs from economics I studied at MU. Economics there was logical science. Decisions come from realities told in numbers. Now, my favorite book is “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman the first psychologist Nobel winner. His slow thinking uses formulas of economics to make decisions. It’s so logical. But the psychologists show a different world. We all prefer “fast” thinking. We make decisions by jumping to conclusions. Kahneman explains: We make economic decisions based on stories not numbers.
We want quick answers. We don’t want to do the slow work of math. We use intuition. Unlike my math-oriented dad, I favored words over arithmetic. I became a journalist, a story teller. Taking economic courses seemed logical. But, that was hard work. But doing that, I learned to write stories about numbers. Numbers and words combine well in journalism. But, the stories must be told in easy to read words. Economics from scientists are vital in agriculture but must be translated first. Here’s an overlooked part of journalism we must not let fade. Pictures are “fast” reads. Show-and-tell teaches. In MPW70, I taught on the word side. At the beginning, I told workshoppers they would learn photos and journalism. That is pictures and words. The workshop popularity draws applicants by the hundreds. Forty get in. What I see in today’s applicants: A lack of understanding of storytelling photos. I grew up in a time rich in photojournalism. LIFE magazine taught me to tell stories with pictures. Photo stories contain visual narratives. They have an opener to set the scene. Then come details. Finally, stories end with a closer photo. Look-
Widespread drought conditions during the 2018 growing season in most of Missouri resulted in hay and forage shortages, says MU Extension agronomist Dhruba Dhakal. Dhakal offers some alternative/emergency forage options to feed beef cattle during fall, winter and spring. Stockpiling tall fescue If fescue stands are strong, stockpiling tall fescue is one of the cheapest and easiest options for fall and winter grazing, Dhakal says. “If plants are still alive with
more than 75 percent fescue left, fertilize with 40-50 pounds of nitrogen per acre in September and close the gates,” he says. Let grass grow until November before grazing. An application of urea with nitrogen stabilizer (Agrotain, for example) with rainfall received within 14 days helps to incorporate it and reduce volatilization. Research shows rotational grazing nearly doubles the utilization. An early ice storm or foot traffic on these fields could deteriorate the grass prematurely, he says. Using drought-stressed corn and soybean Silage from droughtstressed corn can be used to feed cattle during fall and winter. Typically, nitrate levels in corn drop 40-50 percent during the ensiling process if the silage ferments well. Dhakal recommends nitrate testing if feeding corn green chop or silage to the cattle.
MU Receives Grants BFRDP Grant
University of Missouri Extension will receive a $432,747 Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program grant through the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The grant runs September 2018 to August 2021, says MU Extension BFRDP coordinator Karen Funkenbusch. MU Extension is one of 36 BFRDP grant recipients. Teams of experts plan to use educational approaches to improve land access, business planning, mentorship, and farm management to grew new and beginning farmers and
ranchers, Funkenbusch says. The primary goal of the program is to increase the number, success and sustainability of beginning farmers and ranchers in the U.S., she says. MU Extension partners with the Missouri Brain Injury Association and the Franciscan Farm to fill in the gaps for beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, military veteran farmers, and farmers with disabilities and brain injury. For more information, contact Funkenbusch at 573-8841268 or FunkenbuschK @missouri.edu.
USDA W Water Study Grant
University of Missouri Extension researchers are among the recipients of a new five-year, $4.34 million grant from USDA to study water and nutrient recycling, says MU Extension agricultural engineer Teng Lim. The grant, “Water and Nutrient Recycling: A Decision Tool and Synergistic Innovative Technology,” includes five universities: MU, University of Arkansas, Colorado School of Mines, Case Western Reserve University in Ohio and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. MU Extension receives about $1.02 million of the grant funds to develop a decision-support tool to guide the use of water and nutrient recycling technology. Working on the project with Lim is MU Extension agricultural engineer Joe Zulovich. Users will be able to make decisions based on specific regional and operational parameters, Lim says. Many farmlands are nutrient-imbalanced, although there have been a wide range of manure management options and regionspecific requirements and constraints, Lim says. Thus there is a need for a flexible decision-making approach to technology selection and resource management. He says the tool will help producers make better decisions on liquid manure management practices. This will allow water to be recycled at different level and costs, and nutrients to be used more efficiently. “This will engage stakeholders nationally on integrating the most locally robust manure treatment technology in agricultural production,” Lim says. “This collaboration will result in more efficient and sustainable food production.”

ing at pictures you see a flow to a story quickly. Good photo stories need strong words to confirm and explain what we see. Captions and text must be easy to understand. Together, pictures and words gain power. Today, we see more photos in our daily news gathering. Almost every Twitter or Facebook story has a photo. To my eyes, there are lots of bad images passed off as photos. Not good. A selfie or photo of a dinner plate doesn’t tell much. Worse, the words are incomplete. Yet our population became taken over by bad on-line photojournalism. In MPW, we teach photographers to wait for the decisive moment. Catch action, as it happens. No posed photos. Avoid fakes. As a profession, we lose to the cellphones. People grow used to quick and uninspired photos. Dull indeed when you know the power of real photos. In my opening talk, I told workshoppers I want to see photos that stop us cold. I want to laugh. Some photos make us cry. Those photos have power. With dropping profits in print journalism, there's little space open for photo stories. In olden day, newspapers held pages for picture stories. I don’t see those today. There’s opportunity for real photo stories online. Do web readers have an attention span for a seven-photo story? I’m not sure. The behaviorists may not realize how quickly we read online, with time wasted on bad tweets. Your photo ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

Drought-damaged soybean can be grazed when plants are 12-18 inches tall, he says. Check herbicide labels before grazing or feeding cattle. Some herbicides have a longer residual period. Soybean can be hayed at early R3 and made into silage at R4-R5 stages. Cattle can be grazed on corn and soybean stubble in the fall. Ammoniating corn or sorghum stover for feeding cattle might be another fall option, Dhakal says. Planting winter annual small grains Dhakal says pastures with poor fescue stands or with no fall growth potential may be planted with winter annuals if there is good soil moisture. Planting winter annuals into a strong fescue stand is counterproductive and may not be cost-effective, he says. Some winter annuals such as cereal rye, triticale, winter wheat and winter barley are suited for grazing during fall and winter in Missouri. Cattle producers with row crops can plant these winter annuals as a cover crop after harvesting corn and soybean. These crops offer the double benefit of cov-
ering the land and providing forage for cattle during fall, winter and spring, Dhakal says. Cereal rye is easier and quicker to establish than other small grains. It is the most winter-hardy small grain and provides forage for grazing even during late winter. It provides excellent fall tonnage and has good regrowth potential after grazing. Increase seeding rates up to 50 percent and plan to graze in fall and harvest again in spring. Dhakal suggests tight spring grazing for best vegetative growth and forage quality. Triticale is a cross between cereal rye and wheat—a good compromise for tonnage, quality and balance between fall and spring grazing. Wheat grows little in the fall, so it provides the most forage in the spring. It has higherquality forage compared to rye and triticale and may be one of the best options for early spring hay or haylage, Dhakal says. Barley also is a good option for fall planting for early growth, good quality and tonnage prior to winter. However, winter-hardiness can be an
issue for barley, he says. Planting brassicas and winter legumes Planting brassicas such as turnip, radish, kale and canola at 3 to 8 pounds per acre, is another option for feeding cattle during fall. Turnip may provide up to 3 tons of forage per acre from October to December. “Turnip is an easy and quick establishment but has little regrowth potential. Bloat, sulfur and nitrate toxicity, and milk flavoring might occur at times,” Dhakal says. He suggests feeding turnips with a mix of either cereal grain forage or annual ryegrass or hay. It may have up to 24 percent crude protein and 75 percent total digestible nutrient if it is grazed or harvested at early bloom stage, Dhakal says. Planting spring oats Dhakal also suggests planting spring oats from late winter to early spring in Missouri. They can be used as hay and silage crop to feed cattle. Their forage quality is higher when harvested from boot to early heading stage for making hay and from milking to dough stage for making silage.

Dear Annie: Is there such a thing as mobile phone etiquette? I know that I am a dinosaur, but is it OK for someone to be looking at his or her phone for the majority of the time he or she is in the company of someone socially? It feels so lonesome to me. All of my life's conditioning taught me to pay attention to the one I'm with. Now I feel bewildered. -- Bewildered Dear Bewildered: The general answer to your question is no, it is not OK for people to be on their phones while in your presence. It is incredibly rude. Barring a few exceptions -- doctors, nurses, new moms with baby sitters, and friends who tell you they are expecting a very important phone call and then apologize after they take it -being on or looking at one's phone is way too common these days and completely inexcusable, and you are right to be offended. Next time you are out with a friend who engages in that type of behavior, ask the same question you asked me. If your friend says you are being a dinosaur and

this is the way of the world, then I suggest you find a new person to spend your quality time with face-to-face. Dear Annie: "How to Give Your Cat a Pill" is a classic, and certainly, for anyone (including me!) who is a cat guardian, it is good for a laugh. That is, until the last line, which involves dumping the cat at an animal shelter. Times have changed, for the better, and it is beyond time to think about rewriting that last line. As a volunteer at an animal shelter for the past decade, I can think of many reasons that line made me very sad. Millions of cats ARE dumped at animal shelters for trivial reasons or reasons that are actually medical problems. Many of these cats are euthanized because their guardians did not take the time to understand the problem and help them. These days, more and more people consider animals to be members of the family. You don't dump a member of your family at an animal shelter. Instead, you take the time to figure out what the problem is and how to solve it. There are
many organizations, in every community, that are committed to helping keep cats (and other companion animals) in their homes, where they belong. Though I am sure that the closing line was meant to be humorous, being dumped at an animal shelter is deadly serious for millions of cats every year. I hope that you will consider retracting that line and educating your millions of followers about how to help, not hurt, homeless animals in their communities. -- Animal Supporter Dear Animal Supporter: Animal homelessness is a serious problem. It's a cause dear to my heart, one I'd never want to trivialize. Perhaps you're right that the last line of that poem could use a rewrite.

Fashion Risk? Created by Jacqueline E. Mathews
Stitch Fix is on the hunt for more shoppers overseas. The online clothing styling service said it will expand to United Kingdom late next year with fashions for women and men. The company, based in San Francisco, ships outfits to customer’s doorsteps. The expansion comes as customer growth at Stitch Fix slows: It had 2.7 million active customers in the fourth quarter, nearly flat from the previous quarter. But that’s still about 25 percent higher than the same period a year ago.
10/12/18
Wall Street analysts at KeyBanc Capital Markets said the U.K. is an “attractive market” for Stitch Fix and expects the move to drive growth in 2020. Stitch Fix CEO Katrina Lake said the company chose the U.K. because the customers there are spending more on apparel online than they are in the U.S. Shares of Stitch Fix are down 8 percent so far in 2018 and are up nearly 60 percent since its initial public offering nearly a year ago.

The Trenton Lions Club met on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at the First Christian Church Family Activity Center with two guests present. Gary Bunnell, acting president, led the pledge to the U.S. flag, followed by prayer by Rev. Steve Martin. George Moore served as “tail twister.” Moore, who was the program chairperson, introduced Phil Schlarb, who presented information on tariffs. According to Schlarb, tariffs are only one of five possible re-
strictions on free trade. Other restrictions may consist of import or export quotas, legal prohibitions, embargos on certain products and industry-imposed standards. He pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of both free trade and tariffs, delineated the United States history with tariffs and the potential impact of tariffs on consumers. The next meeting will be held at noon on Tuesday, Oct. 16 with Kay Moore as the program chairperson.
