The cost for day two and beyond would be $250 per hour along with $150 per day for crew to operate the cranes. Street Supervisor Martin Schieb anticipates the work to take around three days. The council also accepted a bid from Hammel Scale for truck scales at the plant The $48,570 bid was the lowest of three received. The council also agreed to sell four motors from the old plant to Jared Lamma at a cost of $1,050. Lamma has already received the bid for the scrap metal from the old plant. The council approved several ordinances, including: • a one-year agreement with Danny Stevens to rent a portion of the large hangar at the Trenton Municipal Airport at a cost of $325 per month. After one year, the agreement would continue on a month-bymonth basis until 30 days written notice is given by either party.

Facility Purchase Approved
Fire Training Efforts Moving Forward The Trenton City Council addressed several items during a meeting on Tuesday night at city hall, including issues involving development of a fire training facility on city-owned property behind the fire station. The council formally approved purchase of a fire training tower from American Fire Training Systems of Lockport, IL. The five five-level, 1,690 square foot module tower is being purchased at a cost of $722,860. The council agreed to a seek financing through Community Leasing Partners, contingent upon final terms of the agreement. The Manhattan, KS firm, which is also financing the city’s recent fire truck purchase, had submitted a proposal to finance up to $1.179 million of the project, which has been estimated at around $1.3 million with the tower purchase, site preparation and other work. The proposal had a fixed rate over a 20-year period. Fire Chief Brandon Gibler said that in visiting with the firm, the possibility exists that additional funding can be secured at a fixed rate and that the agreement could be extended out, which he hopes to confirm and bring back to the council for its final approval. Gibler said it was possible the rate could even be lowered. Gibler would like to be able to pay for the project over a 24to 25-year period. The loan would be paid back through funds the city receives from the fire tax approved by voters in 2017. Bids regarding the city’s new asphalt plant were also approved. The council accepted the lone bid from Dille Crane Service to help with

• accepting and approving 32.999 feet of Riverside Drive and the cul-de-sac located at the end of the drive, including dedication for public use. (Vote 8-0). An ordinance regarding changes in the city’s building permit ordinance addressing mobile homes was defeated on a 0-8 vote. This came after the council heard from individuals who operate mobile home parks within the city limits, who felt the permit fee was unfair as well as the requirement to have mobile homes inspected prior to being placed within the city limits. Lindsay and Danny Stevens noted that the homes they purchase are inspected by the city once they are placed in the mobile home park as well as being inspected every time occupancy changes, which is already required by ordinance. Fisher, who said he asked if the city had such an ordinance, said he wanted to make sure that the city was protected from having “junk trailers” being brought into the city for rental purposes. Approval was given for the council to accept property at 111 W. 11th St. being conveyed to the city by the owner, Tammy Posey. The city would be responsible for paying back taxes of just over $1,000 as well as the closing costs to obtain the property. The council had already approved the property for demolition, with that work to be paid for by the city. Building Inspector Donnie Vandevender said money for the costs would come from the city’s 2018-19 demolition fund. The mayor asked for sugSee Council, Page 7

Another successful summer school program was held in the Trenton R-9 School District, according to information presented to board members during a meeting on Tuesday night. Superintendent Dan Wiebers said that 348 students participated in the 2018 program, with average daily attendance at 92.9 percent. The students received 161 hours of instruction/program participation through the “Summer Journey Program” provided by Catapult Learning. Results from surveys completed by 201 parents showed 90 percent recommending “Summer Journey’ to other parents desiring quality summer programing. All 17 district staff surveys completed indicated a positive experience with the program and recommended using it again. It was noted that the R-9 District would receive around $90,000 after all expenses for the program are paid, including around $100,000 for staff salaries. E’Lisha Gass, who served as the summer school administrator, said she would recommend the program be used again. She said she has retired as the summer school administrator after this past year, having served in that role for several years as well as teaching summer classes. The board heard an update regarding a possible district building project being considered by the board. Wiebers said that an agreement is being negotiated between the district and Ellison-Auxier Architects and that representatives of the firm have met with R-9 patrons and staff regarding ideas for projects the board might consider. Wiebers said that the firm is currently narrowing the list of suggested projects to a list of projects which the district could afford if a levy were to be approved. He said that he anticipates bringing sample ballot language to the January board meeting for consideration. The board is looking at a “no tax increase” project to place before voters to make improvements to school facilities. The middle school and elementary school projects currently being funded by a 90-cent levy will be paid off next year, with the levy being eliminated unless voters choose to extend it for use in other building projects. Four possible projects have been suggested, including enclosing the open area between the high school/middle school complex and the music building, including a performing arts facility; improvements to the middle/school high school media center; and improvements at C.F. Russell Stadium. In other business, the board: • set the filing dates for per-

Southwestern 75, North Central 66
Pirates Take Spartans To The Limit There was little question on Tuesday night that the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team was up to the challenge of hosting the sixth-ranked Division II junior college in the nation. The energy displayed by the Pirates after an alley-oop dunk by Soloman Thomas was one indicator; the defense at the other end was another. North Central’s defensive energy was prevalent all night, but in the end, the Pirates couldn’t quite find enough offense to spring the upset, falling 7566 to Southwestern on their home floor at the Ketcham Community Center. NCMC limited Southwestern to just five points through the game’s first five minutes, but the Spartans
eventually caught back up with a run midway through the first half. The Spartans would go on to pass up the Pirates, but North Central didn’t go away. The Pirates made multiple runs in the second half, but the Spartans had an answer for every challenge. “We just couldn’t get over the cusp tonight and take advantage when the opportunities presented themselves,” North Central Head Coach Jeremy Esry said. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to Southwestern; every time we would make a run to get (the deficit) to three or four they would come down and hit a big shot. I’m proud of how hard we played, but we have to do a better job of capitalizing on opportunities and getting stops late in the game in order for us to win this

year.” Thomas would finish with 13 points to lead the Pirates. Marty Jackson came off the bench to deliver an 11-point performance. With the loss, North Central’s record evened at 3-3. Southwestern remained undefeated, going to 4-0. The game was the first of a threegame homestand for the Pirates. North Central should have an easier time in their next two as they play host to the Ottawa University junior varsity on Friday at 7 p.m. and the Central Methodist University junior varsity on Sunday at 1 p.m. A rematch with Southwestern looms after that as NCMC will travel to Creston, IA for another crack at the Spartans on Wednesday, Nov. 21.

FALLING APART Horrific Fourth Quarter Dooms Lady Pirates
The demise of the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team was hard to watch on Tuesday night against Southwestern Community College in the Ketcham Community Center. For three quarters, North Central led their guests. But when the scoreboard switched to the fourth quarter, North Central’s offense switched off. The Lady Pirates hit just two field goals in the decisive frame, scored only 11 points and watched as Southwestern rallied past them for an 81-70 victory - one that drops NCMC to 2-4 overall on the season. “We made crucial turnovers at crucial times in the fourth,” North Central Head Coach Jenni Croy said. “We forced shots that we hadn’t been forcing the entire game. Our shot selection was poor, our decision-making was poor; it was like we were in a huge hurry for some reason.” North Central connected on just two-of-16 field goal attempts in the fourth quarter, both of which were knocked down by Maddison Book, who would lead the Pirates with 16 points in the loss. But outside of the two baskets by Book, which were knocked down on back-toback possessions to snap a six-
TMS Wrestlers In Chillicothe The Trenton Middle School wrestling team traveled to Chillicothe on Monday night for the Chillicothe Quad. Trenton was joined by the host Hornets, Kirksville and Maryville at the event. Despite moving up in the size of schools they were battling, Trenton returned home with a solid 12-5 record as a team at the event. Charlie Riley had no trouble in his three matches, running a perfect 3-0 record on the night. Tim Kempton, Brayden Hughs and Coleman Griffin were strong as well, each going 2-0 in their respective matches. Hunter McAtee, Sam Gibson and Gavin Chambers were each 1-1 on the night while Brayden Clause finished 0-2. Trenton’s middle school wrestlers were in action again on Thursday night, traveling to Brookfield. The next test for TMS comes on Tuesday, Nov. 27, when the Bulldogs travel to the Carrollton Triangular.

plus minute scoring drought for North Central, there was little offense to be had. What was a nine-point lead for the Lady Pirates at one point in the third quarter ended in an 11point loss. Making matters worse, North Central’s leading scorer to date on the young season, Hailey Burrows, fouled out midway through the final frame. The Pirates tried to cut into the Southwestern lead late by putting the Spartans on the
free throw line multiple times in the final minutes, but the visitors made good on the charity tosses to seal NCMC’s fate. “Credit goes to Southwestern,” Croy said. “They knocked down their shots and free throws.” Behind Book’s 16 points, North Central got 13 from Burrows and 11 from Dymeria Guillory. Haley Berghager had 10 points for the Pirates and Da’Briauna Bables added
eight. North Central will try to turn the page quickly from this loss when the Lady Pirates play host to the Central Methodist junior varsity on Friday night. Tip off in the Ketcham Community Center is scheduled for 5 o’clock. The Lady Pirates will also get a crack at exacting some revenge on Southwestern on Wednesday when they travel to Creston, IA for a rematch.
The Trenton Middle School basketball teams opened play at the Princeton Tournament on Tuesday night, taking on Gallatin. Trenton’s girls fell 26-13 while the boys lost 46-1.

OP/ED
Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Election Hangover Well, the election is finally history and we won’t have to go through that for another two years. It’s pretty sad what our elections for public office have come down to, accusations by the opposing candidates in such a fashion you don’t know whom or what to believe. No discussion of ideas or solutions to the problems facing the state and country. I guess it will never change until the voters get fed up with it and demand a change. One thing that kind of did get me Wendell Lenhart was a little known item put into the minimum wage issue passed last week. The minimum wage will increase to $12 per hour over the next several years. But the little known part is an exemption that allows government employers not to be subject to the law as private employers will be. Why is that? This is another example of how the private sector is forced to follow rules and regulations that the government does not have to. It reminds me how Congress dictates our health care and retirement options, but they get to have other, better options that the general public doesn’t have access to. ##### A friend emailed me the other day about some of the changes we will see in the coming years. I’ve always been interested to see what people think we will see in the next five to 10 years. The writer prefaced some of the predictions with some things that have already happened which helps make the future seem possible. A couple of notes: Uber is just a software tool; they don’t own any cars and are now the biggest taxi company in the world. Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world. And they don’t own any properties. One of the predictions about autonomous cars caught my eye: we move closer each year to cars that will someday soon be able to drive themselves. Not only will it cut down on the number of accidents, it will allow us to be more productive. You would be able to work while you commute. That would allow persons to live farther away from their jobs and live in a more desireable place: say, work in Kansas City and live in Trenton or the surrounding area. ##### It’s been a pretty strange weather year, to say the least, and now we have had two measurable snows before Thanksgiving. The snow last Friday was short-lived but came down pretty hard at times. It was certainly strange to see snow sticking to the trees that still had green leaves on them. Not something you see very often.

What Others Are Saying.... Missouri’s Californiaization Missouri voters could be forgiven for needing a clothespin while voting on the myriad of statewide ballot issues in last Tuesday's general election.
Guest Editorials Do you think the working poor need a higher wage? Sure. But what about a 50 percent increase to $12 an hour, with an exemption conveniently built in for government employers? At candidate forums this fall, few Democrats or Republicans spoke against limiting lobbyist gifts and their potentially corrupting influence on state lawmakers. But the proposed constitutional amendment gives an unelected state demographer the clout to redraw election districts into shapes that would give a Freudian psychologist something to ponder. Medical marijuana? Of course you don't want grandma to get nauseous from chemotherapy, so you weigh that with the complexities of three competing measures to legalize cannabis for medical purposes. In case you're wondering, the clothespin is to pinch your nose while filling in the oval for "yes" during Tuesday's election. Plenty of Missourians were all in, but surely other support came from those who liked certain aspects of this or that but needed the nasal blockage because, let's face it, each proposal stinks a little. Missouri's lawmakers are to blame for this. For all the campaign ads attacking Democrats and their "California" values, Missouri's Republican-controlled legislature did its best to give us an election bal-
lot resembling something you'd see in the Golden State. California had 11 voter initiatives on its ballot, covering issues as diverse as hospital bonds, daylight saving time, rent controls and standards for confined farm animals. In Missouri, we're not that wacky yet. Our seven ballot measures included three on medical marijuana and single issues on ethics reform, the minimum wage, a gasoline tax and bingo regulations. The problem with handling so many measures outside the legislative process is that voters are left with a take-it-or-leave-it approach that gets harder to accept when you see the fine print. The other problem is that interest groups use them not to adopt good public policy but to generate wedge issues that drive voters to the polls on behalf of a particular party. So reasonable people had to decide whether a major change in legislative redistricting was worth the price of limits on other ethics reform. When a Northwest Missouri lawmaker failed to gain approval for a reasonable step toward medical marijuana, voters were presented a complex array of options that were considerably broader in scope. Even the gas tax drew criticism for having Highway Patrol funding tucked into the ballot language, although the state's Hancock Amendment made it necessary to take this tax hike to the voters. For the rest, many of these issues were crying out for the kinds of things legislators are supposed to do: engage in debate and find a compromise.? — St. Joseph News-Press

The Wright Memorial Hospital Spiritual Wellness Team will be hosting the second annual Live Nativity from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29. The event will begin on the hospital’s walking trail and will end inside the hospital’s education center. The live display will feature five simple scenes that illustrate the story of Christmas. Each scene will have live characters with two scenes featuring live animals. The five scenes will be spaced out along the walking trail, so some walking will be necessary. Christmas carolers
will also be spaced along the trail. The entire walk around the trail should take between 15 to 20 minutes to complete. As attendees finish the live nativity route around the walking trail, they will be welcomed to warm up, visit and enjoy refreshments in the hospital’s education room. Parking for the event will be in the east parking lot and, if needed, the south parking lot. Signage will be posted and parking attendants will help guide the traffic. For more information, persons can contact Corey Wallace at 660-358-5963.

Medicare Part D The Medicare Part D benefit helps to reduce the out-of-pocket drug spending for enrollees, which is especially important to those with modest incomes or with very high drug costs. Closing the coverage gap will bring additional relief to millions of enrollees with high costs. But with drug prices on the rise and more plans charging a coinsurance rather than copayments for a covered brand-name drug, Part D enrollees could face higher out-of-pocket costs for their medications. This is why it is important to compare drug plans during the annual open enrollment period. However, relatively few people use the annual opportunity to switch their Part D plan, even though those who do switch often lower their out-of-pocket costs as a result of changing plans. Let us help you compare Medicare Part D plans; Annual open enrollment ends December 7th.

Forage Systems Research   Center Donates Beef Every so often the Forage Systems Research Center, located near Linneus, Mo., has a beef animal it can’t bring to the sale barn. There are a variety of reasons for this, including a limp leg or unwanted coat defect. While there is nothing actually wrong with the beef animal, its value at the sale barn is dramatically reduced. “With some of those cows, I hate just giving them away,� said David Davis, superintendent of FSRC. “For years I’ve thought about what else we could do with those cows that have a slight defect.� Those thoughts led Davis to focus on ways he could use those cows and give back to the local Linn County communities. After a few years of discussing the best way to do that, FSRC is donating 465 pounds of ground beef to the Brookfield Ministries Food Pantry, part of The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri. “There were several steps in the process, and we’re excited to be able to help out local families in the Linn County area,� Davis said. “This has been something we have wanted to do for years, and it’s nice to be able to finally donate.� The meat had to meet certain rules and regulations to be accepted as a donation, such as coming from an inspected facility. FSRC met
all of those requirements. The Brookfield Ministries Food Pantry is located in Brookfield, about 13 miles southeast of Linneus. The group distributes a variety of food throughout the Linn County area. “As we enter the holiday season, we really just wanted to give back,� Davis said. “We also wanted to do something a little bit different. We thought meat would be a good addition to various donations that the pantry receives.� FSRC worked with Rob King at King Processing and Catering out of Marceline to process and prepare the meat. The Center worked with Director Debbie Scott at the Brookfield Ministries Food Pantry on the actual donation. The meat was packaged in one-pound packages. FSRC gave approximately 450 packages to the pantry. “We thought that one-pound packages of ground beef would be easier to handle and distribute than other cuts of meat,� Davis said. The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri, of which the Brookfield Ministries Food Pantry is a part, serves 32 counties in the state and distributes millions of pounds of food each year. There are a variety of ways to give back, either through giving, donating or volunteering.

Missouri Crop Management Conference Dec. 18-19 The annual University of Missouri Crop Management Conference offers updates on how 2018’s drought-to-downpour growing season affected crops, pests and disease, and provides insights on how trade affects agricultural commodity markets.
The event, Dec. 18-19 at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia, also includes information on dicamba research and label requirements, says MU Extension weed scientist Kevin Bradley. The training is aimed at certified crop advisers, farmers
and others in the ag industry. Topics include wheat management, commodity markets, emerging crop pests, postdrought diseases, phosphorus management, soybean management and yield gaps, soil health, weed management, soil and water conservation, behav-
ioral economics, new ag technology, and glyphosate-resistant weeds. Presenters include researchers and specialists from MU, University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University, University of Tennessee and the Natural Resources Conservation
Service. For details and registration information, visit plantsciencesweb.missouri.edu /cmc. Register by Dec. 7. For questions about registration, contact the MU Conference Office at 573-882-9554 or muconf9@missouri.edu.
Farmers Seeing Fescue Foot In Cow Herds Odd fall weather and fescue pasture growth set up potential poisonous pastures causing fescue foot in cow herds. Fall growth after a drought produces more toxins in infected tall fescue grass. The poison develops after rains start regrowth following a drought, says Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension specialist. Roberts urges herd owners to keep close watch on their cows. “At first sign of a limp, take the cow off the toxic grass,� Roberts says. “Make plans for alternative feeds,� he says. That includes pasture without Kentucky 31 fescue. On most farms, fescue remains the most-used forage.
It is hardy because the toxin protects the plant from pests. Another choice is to confine and feed limping cows on grain and nontoxic hay. Ensiled fescue hay should be avoided. Plastic-wrapped moist hay, or balage, preserves toxins. Several factors worsen fescue toxicosis causing fescue foot, Roberts says. Ergot alkaloids produced by a fungus in infected fescue restrict blood flow in cattle. Fescue foot develops in long cold spells. In cows, low blood flow to feet allows frozen hooves. In worst cases, hooves fall off. Injured cattle cannot walk to graze pastures. They stay in place and die from lack of
feed. Spreading extra nitrogen fertilizer in the fall to boost grass growth also boosts production of toxins, he says. In a normal year, extension specialists recommend adding 60 pounds of nitrogen. This year, after the long drought and shortage of hay, many farmers added 80 pounds of N. There’s been good grass-growing weather this fall, Roberts says. The extra growth brings more toxins. The trigger can be continued low temperatures. “A cold snap of one day isn’t a problem,â€? he says. “A week of freezing could be a disaster.â€? There’s no cure for fescue foot, but prevention works. •WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease! Competitve Rates

Herd owners who converted toxic fescue pastures to a novel-endophyte fescue need not worry. More nitrogen fertilizer on novel-endophyte grass brings more feed. Prevention includes not grazing fall-grown fescue too short. Recent research shows most toxins in the fall stay in the lower 2 inches of the fescue plant. Another preventive plan is to feed winter hay in fall cold spells. The pastures left standing in winter decrease in toxins with time. By January there will be less poison in the grass. Stockpile can be grazed late in winter with few problems. Management-intensive grazing with quick rotations through paddocks helps prevent short grazing. “With rotational grazing, cows are moved before they grub grass into the ground,� Roberts says.
Cool-season grasses have an advantage, growing rapidly two times a year: Growth in spring and fall adds to grazing seasons. Spring grazing requires caution, as toxins concentrate in seed heads and stems. Those are easily grazed by cows. There are no seed heads in fall growth. The only cure for fescue toxicosis is killing infected pasture and reseeding to a novel-endophyte fescue. Schools teaching reseeding were held in Missouri for years. Now those schools are held in the fescue belt across the Southeast. More schools will be in March, Roberts said. Schools cover six states from Missouri southeast to North Carolina and Georgia. Times and places are on the Alliance for Grassland Renewal website. Go to grasslandrenewal.org/education.htm.
With a deadline approaching, Pheasants and Quail Forever is encouraging farmers and ranchers to consider utilizing a federal program that provides financial and technical assistance to establish habitat that benefits Monarch butterflies and other wildlife. Jake Swafford, coordinating wildlife wiologist, said the Monarch Initiative administered by the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service helps landowners establish milkweed and other nectarrich plants that provide food for Monarchs and other pollinators, such as honey bees, that are vital to agriculture. To accelerate conservation benefits to Monarch butterflies, Missouri established a Monarch Butterfly Habitat Project. This project focuses on encouraging landowners to establish monarch-friendly plantings as well as completing practices that assist with managing those beneficial areas. Swafford said establishing milkweed in this area is important because it is in the heart of the butterfly’s habitat and migration route. Milkweed also provides homes for beneficial insects that control the spread of destructive insects. And conservation practices that provide benefits for pollinators also help reduce erosion, increase soil health, control invasive species, provide quality forage for livestock and make agricultural operations more resilient and productive. Swafford said pollinator plantings can be placed along field borders, in buffers around waterways or wetlands, in pastures, and in other suitable locations. NRCS accepts applications on a continuous basis, but only applications filed by November 16 are eligible for the next round of funding through NRCS’ Environmental Quality Incentives Program. For more information about any NRCS programs, persons can check with their local USDA field office or contact Jake Swafford at 53-881-1224 or email at jswafford@quailforever.org for more information about wildlife habitat assistance.

Superintendent Jerry Girdner reported that the district will have a request for proposals for improved security cameras and access control upgrades, with the RFP’s to be reviewed at the January meeting. Activities Director John Goodin presented information regarding sports in the Grand River Conference. It was noted that Princeton currently does not offer three of the conference sports - girls golf, wrestling and baseball - and more information was requested on the cost of adding a sport. Princeton currently coops baseball with Mercer, with the agreement to expire at the end of 2019. The board will also review the cost and potential interest in adding girls golf. Wrestling is not under consideration at this time. An executive session was held for personnel, with no announcement made. The next board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 10.

The council was told by Charlie Zitnik of DA Davidson that an independent analyst has upgraded the city’s bond rating from A to A+. Zitnik, who has been working with the city regarding financing of the wastewater treatment plant improvements, credited the city’s efforts to plan for how outstanding bonds would be paid for had Nestle not purchased the former ConAgra plant as key in getting an upgraded rating. The efforts included rate studies and analysis work by city personnel.

lence. • Water Plant Supervisor Steve Reid reported that the Princeton Road water tower is back in service after having repair work done. There was also discussion regarding water taste and odor, which Reid said he believes is due to the disinfection process the city is required to do. He said he will be visiting with the Department
of Natural Resources about an option he would like to try that he hopes will improve both the taste and odor. It was also requested to have water lines reflushed in certain areas. The council also discussed a diesel fuel spill that occurred last week at city power facilities on Industrial Drive. State officials were notified about the 70-gallon fuel spillage and

ing you feel less valuable than you are. So take some space from her, and spend time on things and people who make you feel top of mind, not underfoot. Dear Annie: I agree with "Love Is the Answer" and "Out of Sight but Never Out of Mind's" viewpoint on not seeing people who are near death. I remember every detail from when I saw both of my aunts near death. I had such wonderful memories of my aunts and spending time with them all my life, but all I can think about are their last breaths -- a horrific thing to see. So count me as one who also prefers to shelter herself from seeing someone in this condition. -Remembering Them How They Were Dear Remembering Them: I understand where you're coming from, but the following letter writer makes some great points about being with loved ones when they die. Dear Annie: You were very gracious in your response to "Love Is the Answer." In rationalizing why people avoid being around loved ones who are dying, she explained that

Farfetch’s Portuguese founder, Jose Neves, founded the company a decade ago, seeking to tap the online luxury market, which had largely avoided mainstream e-commerce players like Amazon because of luxury companies’ co fears their brands’ value would be ero eroded. The compa company doesn’t buy or make anythin anything it sells but instead acts as a platf platform for hundreds of luxury bran brands such as Gucci and Pra Prada. W Wealthy customers appear to be spending extravagantly. Ne Neves gave some examples o on a conference call with analysts: a $147,000 watch and a $160,000 necklace.

Dear Annie: I am a college student and have met few people I would consider friends. However, there is one friend in particular, "Sally," whom I have helped out a lot since we met. There have been times when I've taken her to and from work (she has paid me back for gas), and I even helped guide her to the Lord after a friend died by suicide. I love Sally and consider her a dear friend, but this semester she has begun running with a different crowd. She always parties and drinks and looks for companions. She has completely dropped me, to the point where she ignored a text I sent her about plans she had initiated with me. I feel taken advantage of and unappreciated in the friendship. I don't want to cut her completely out of my life, but at this point, that looks like my only option. -- The Doormat Friend Dear Doormat Friend: Unlike a doormat, you have free will. You don't have to let this girl -- or anyone else, for that matter -- walk all over you. It sounds as though your friendship with Sally is, at best, a poor match; at worst, it's mak-

often it simply hurts too much and that she prefers remembering them how they were. Yes, it is painful to see loved ones in pain or dying, but "Love Is the Answer" should think for a moment about how THEY feel. Even if you don't know what to say or can't manage to be there long, you may be able to sit quietly with the person or hold a hand or whisper one of those great memories you are trying so hard to hold on to. Neither you nor they live in a vacuum, and I urge "Love Is the Answer" and like-minded people to consider someone else and set aside their narrow focus. Yes, it is hard, but it is the price you pay for being a person on this earth with a modicum of empathy. How is "Love Is the Answer" going to feel when she is all alone at the end of her life and no loved ones come to be with her because, you know, it would make them feel bad? We all need to look at the situation as the privilege it is to have some small way to ease someone's suffering. -- Shocked and Saddened Dear Shocked and Saddened: I'm happy to print this heartfelt plea for empathy. It's never easy to witness the suffering of family members and close friends, but it definitely comes with the territory of love.

Threats Lead To Charges A Trenton woman is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center on felony charges following two incidents in which she made threats. According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, 50year-old Kimberly K. Jacobs is charged with two class E felony charges of second degree terroristic threat in connection with incidents on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13. On Nov. 12 she is accused of speaking with a bank representative about shooting someone in the head and on Nov. 13 she spoke with the Trenton city administrator about blowing his head off. In both incidents she caused a false belief of fear that an incident involving danger to life existed. In addition, she is charged with a class D felony of possession of a controlled substance at a county jail in connection with an incident on May 7 in which she allegedly possessed marijuana at the Grundy County Detention Center. She is being held on $15,000 cash-only bond, with a Nov. 27 court appearance scheduled. A St. Joseph woman has been arrested in Grundy County on drug charges while a Trenton man has been arrested for non-support after being released from the Missouri Department of Corrections. Stephanie E. Ricketson, 41, has been arrested on a class D felony charge of possession of a controlled substance. She is accused of possessing methamphetamine and is being held on $15,000 cash-

only bond. She made her first court appearance on Tuesday, Nov. 13 and is now scheduled to be in court again Nov. 27. Also arrested was Robert L. Sharp, 38, who was picked up from the Department of Corrections and is facing three felony counts, two class D felonies and one class E felony, of non-support. The charges stem from unpaid court-ordered child support from June 2014 to March 2015; July and August 2015 and January, February and March 2016; and June 2016 through May 2017. The total amount owed on three charges is $6,869.96.

CIRCUIT COURT Associate Division Judge Steven D. Hudson Waiving formal arraignment and having their cases bound over or certified to the Circuit Division for appearances on Nov. 15 were: Michael J.

Brittain, Trenton, appeared in court on two class B misdemeanor charges of peace disturbance. The prosecutor announced she was ready for trial and requested to go on the record. She proceeded to make an offer for disposition of the case. The defendant declined the offer and announced he was ready for trial.

Something To Think About VINCE NEAL DIRECTOR
DEATH HAS MEANING Just about everyone has been touched by death at one time or another, whether it is a close relation or a dear friend. We mourn, perhaps we look for a message. Each death has a meaning of its own and may play a role in influencing our lives. Indeed, many authors have pointed out that ONLY because our lives are finite do they have meaning. Many times, individuals have been spurred by the death of another into a significant discovery or great accomplishment. We feel an urgency to do all we can, love all we can. Sometimes these feelings pass, but other times they lead us to rededicate
our lives in some positive way. This is not to say that death is, per se, a positive force. A loss is, after all, a loss. However, sometimes a tragedy, an untimely death can jolt the living into appreciating and making the most of the time alloted to us. In many ways, this is the ultimate legacy left behind by those we have loved.

Slick Roads Cause Mishap The slick roadway is being blamed in an accident that occurred Monday morning at the intersection of Oklahoma Avenue and 28th Street. According to Trenton Police Sgt. Jeb Walker’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a truck driven by Robert L. Clover of Trenton was westbound on 28th Street, approaching the intersection with Oklahoma Avenue, which is a four-way stop. He said he could not stop on the ice and snow covered roadway and slid through the intersection, striking a van driven by Laurie L. Stevenson of Trenton, which was northbound on Oklahoma Avenue. There was minor damage to Clover’s truck and moderate damage to Mrs. Stevenson’s van. Both vehicles could be driven from the scene and no injuries were reported.
