Community Input Sought
MSBA To Aid In Search For Superintendent The search for a new superintendent got under way in earnest on Tuesday night as members of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education agreed to contract with the Missouri School Boards Association to assist with the process. The board is seeking an individual to replace Dan Wiebers, who has resigned to become superintendent in the Chillicothe R-2 School District beginning July 1. Board members hope to have a replacement named by the end of January. Dr. Bob Watkins, a consultant with the MSBA Superintendent Search Services, met with the board to explain what MSBA could offer in helping the district with their search. Dr. Watkins said MSBA would be with the district through every step of the process from advertising the opening both statewide and nationwide to helping select the finalists for the board to interview. In between, MSBA will collect data from the board, staff and com-

munity to help determine the best candidates for the position as well as collecting applications, answer questions and review each of the applications with the board once the deadline to submit applications closes. He said MSBA will also “vet” applicants to find out all they can before bringing candidates to the board for consideration. This includes determining whether or not a candidate is serious about being the next superintendent at Trenton. Dr. Watkins said he would not even ask the board to consider a candidate that he felt was not really interested in the position. Dr. Watkins said he will be meeting with R-9 staff on Jan. 2 to talk with them about qualities they would like to see in a new superintendent. Board members were given a survey at Tuesday night’s meeting to get their input and a community survey is to be placed on the R-9 District website soon

Contract Extended After Agreement With WCA Voted Down
Rapid Removal Will Still Haul City Trash Rapid Removal will continue to provide residential trash service for the next four months while members of the Trenton City Council determine their next step following action taken at Monday night’s meeting. In addition, council members voted to rescind last month’s decision to eliminate curbside recycling as of Jan. 1. The request to extend the current contract with Rapid Removal came after council members failed to approve an ordinance that would have allowed the mayor to sign a five-year agreement with WCA to provide trash services, beginning Jan. 1. The vote was 4-4, with Glen Briggs, Travis Elbert, David Mlika and Jen Hottes in favor. Voting no were Lou Fisher, Larry Porter, Brad Chumbley and Larry Crawford. Five yes votes are needed to pass an ordinance. Last month, council members voted 4-3 to accept a bid from WCA to pro-
vide trash hauling services. It was the lowest of three bids received. Rapid Removal had the second low bid while Advance also submitted a proposal. During discussion prior to the ordinance vote, it was noted that two of the three bids did not meet all the bid specifications outlined by the city, although city officials did not expand on what the bid specifications were. City Attorney Tara Walker noted that in the bid specs, the city had listed any or all irregularities in the bids could be waived if members so chose. After the ordinance was defeated, Elbert suggested the council reject all bids and take a look at allowing citizens to decide which service they wanted to use. That motion was approved by a 71 vote, with Crawford voting no. Crawford said he was concerned about what citizens would be paying for the service. With the rejection of the bids, Crawford said he anticipated residents
would be paying more. Chumbley said he was concerned about possible illegal dumping by residents who would choose not to use any trash hauling service, calling it “a disaster.” He then suggested the city extend its contract with Rapid Removal to allow the city to explore its options instead of allowing citizens to choose their own provider. It was eventually decided on a third vote, 8-0, to ask for a four-month extension, which Rapid Removal manager Andy Burress said would be at the same rate of $10.46 per month. Several persons at the meeting spoke in support of Rapid Removal, citing what they termed as the economic impact the business has in the community by providing jobs, paying taxes and purchasing services locally. There was also a mention of lost tipping fees to the city, which are currently paid by Rapid Removal for items brought to and
stored at the company’s transfer station before being taken away for disposal. That amount was not made public. It was noted that money from the tipping fee is used to pay for a water line that was extended to the Industrial Park in north Trenton when Rapid Removal located its transfer station and office at that site. During the discussion regarding recycling, Crawford said he had received several calls from individuals who were opposed to the city’s decision and that he was surprised with information provided by the North Missouri Solid Waste Management District that showed 1 million tons in recycling items had been collected in Trenton by Hope Haven during the past two years. He said he believed that if there was more education about recycling that more individuals would use the service, See City, Page 11

MOORE THAN ENOUGH Sophomore Scores 22 To Lead Trenton To GRC-Opening Win The Trenton High School girls basketball team entered the season as heavy favorites in the Grand River Conference’s East Division. After seeing Gallatin in the Gallatin Tournament and Princeton on Tuesday night, the gap between the top team in the league and its two biggest challengers appears to be monumental. Trenton ran Princeton off its own floor, opening GRC play with a 5221 victory over a team many consider to be in the hunt for the second spot in the GRC East standings this year. Princeton looked capable of challenging Trenton early, trailing just 149 after the first quarter. But the Bulldogs dialed up the defensive intensity after that. Princeton would not score more than six points in any quarter after that as Trenton turned the game into a boat race, winning by over 30 points. “Princeton did a nice job of running offense early on,” Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “They hit a few shots in the first quarter to keep it close, but we really picked up the intensity in the second, defensively. Offensively, we weren’t as sharp as normal, but we continued to grind and add on points.” On a night when Trenton’s offense was only average by its standards, however, Maci Moore was plenty good. The sophomore forward had her way with Princeton, outscoring the Tigers by herself with 22 points. Moore added four rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals to her point total. “Maci was good tonight,” Upton said. “(Princeton) didn’t really have an answer for her. We continually fed her and she was 10-for-10 from the field and two-for-three from the freethrow line.” Behind Moore’s stellar performance, Trenton got 13 points, five assists and three steals from Ainsley
Tolson. Salem Croy had six points and Mykah Hurley added four points, three assists and four steals. Taylor Richman had four points as well and Sidney Lynch finished with three points, 10 rebounds and three assists. For Princeton, Lindsey Batson and Payton Goodin scored six points each to lead the Tigers. With the win, Trenton moved to 70 overall on the season and established a 1-0 record in Grand River Conference play. The Bulldogs will go for their 18th-straight victory in GRC play on Friday night as they play host to South Harrison in Trenton. Tip off is set for 6 p.m. PRINCETON BOYS 62 TRENTON BOYS 46 The Trenton High School boys basketball team was locked in a battle with the Princeton Tigers on Tuesday night on the road. It was a battle that lasted until Princeton’s Owen Schreffler checked into the game, dramatically altering the contest’s course. Schreffler drilled five three-pointers in the second quarter, allowing Princeton to take a lead the Tigers would not relinquish as the Bulldogs fell 62-46 in the Grand River Conference opener. Schreffler would finish with just the 15 points he scored in the second quarter, but that dramatically altered the game. Trenton was forced to play catch-up the rest of the way and Princeton was 10-for-14 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, pulling away for the 16-point conference win. “(Princeton) shot the ball well,” Trenton Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “A kid came in, knocked down shots and had a pretty good night. I’m sure he is feeling pretty good about it and he should be. We did a solid job of getting a hand in his face after the first two and he just hit the shots. It’s
hard to fault our guys for doing their job, getting a hand up and getting in his face.” In addition to Schreffler’s hot shooting, however, Trenton was once again plagued by turnovers - an issue Trenton has battled a lot in the season’s early beginnings. The Bulldogs turned the ball over 20 times in the loss to the Tigers. “Our limitations came from ballhandling,” Austin said. “We did a poor job handling any sort of pressure and for the most part it seemed like our turnovers came unforced as opposed to forced. “We are capable of playing better than that and these type of games usually go one of two ways. Fortunately, they always go the same way here at Trenton. These kids respond. So if we go out and under perform and don’t do what we need to do to be successful, we will respond and look completely different the next time we get out on the court. I count on these guys to do the same thing. We’ve got good kids who will play hard and play in the correct manner.” Trenton was paced by 16 points, two assists and two steals from Carson Radcliff. Dylan Harris added 12 points, two steals and four assists and Dalton Burchett scored seven points to go with four assists. Max McNabb had five points and eight rebounds, Isaac Harris had four points and two assists and Carson Burchett had two points and three assists. For Princeton, Logan Dunkin had 15 points in addition to Schreffler’s 15. Cameron Jones added 12 points and Colton Estes and Austin Kelly had 10 and seven points respectively.

SPORTS NCMC HOLIDAY HOOPS
Dec. 14-31 - Ketcham Community Center, Trenton
Hoops To See Strong Iowa Representation The 2018 edition of High School Holiday Hoops features a record number of 115 teams with an increased representation from the state of Iowa. Holiday Hoops Director Steve Maxey said that the four schools from Iowa is probably a sign of things to come. “NCMC has increased their marketing efforts to Iowa and we (Holiday Hoops) have done the same with four outstanding teams participating in this year’s event,” Maxey said. “Bringing a combined record of 77 wins and 17 losses from last year, these four ball clubs bring a very high level of play and success to the Hoops program.” Des Moines Hoover and Des Moines North join Grandview Christian Academy and Lincoln High School of Council Bluffs as the Iowa schools participating with Des Moines North as the only returning participant to Holiday Hoops. Maxey
said that several other Iowa schools have already inquired about the 2019 schedule. The ball clubs from Iowa were either conference and/or district champions last year or lost in the district finals while Grandview Christian is a repeat state champion. All four schools have final four experience. Maxey said the effort to recruit teams from out of state has already paid off as students who experienced NCMC and Holiday Hoops for the first time later chose to attend school in Trenton and play for the Pirates. “And that is one of the goals of Holiday Hoops - to expose students to the local college with hopes of them returning as a student/athlete,” Maxey said. All four Iowa schools will be in play early in this year’s Holiday Hoops schedule since Iowa schools are not allowed to enter into athletic competition once they
break for the holidays. Lincoln and Hoover will be in action this weekend while Grandview Christian enters play on Monday, Dec. 17 and Des Moines North will be in action on Saturday, Dec. 22. “Taking nothing away from the strong teams from Missouri that will be in competition, the 2018 local event could see many potential final four teams in action eventually heading to Columbia for state finals,” Maxey said “One never knows what might happen with teams facing each other for the first time on an even playing field, so look for lots of exciting action when Holiday Hoops tips off on Friday night.” Holiday Hoops action takes place from Friday, Dec. 14 to Monday, Dec. 31 with 77 games being played over that span. A schedule of games appears on pages 4 and 5 of today’s Republican-Times.

Kansas State Wildcats
Klieman Introduced At Kansas State MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Chris Klieman needed no better reminder of the monumental task ahead of him Wednesday than the one sitting in the front row of his introductory news conference at Kansas State: Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder. Klieman was hired this week to replace what Wildcats athletic director Gene Taylor called "a legend." Snyder won 215 games during two tenures lasting 27 seasons, and a large statue of him sits just outside the recently renovated football stadium that now bears his name. "I've looked up to Coach Snyder since the early '80s, growing up in Waterloo, Iowa," he said. "Coach was working for Hayden Fry and I'd go attend his camps and stand in the quarterback line and spin it around and talk to him a little bit. "I know the shoes I have to
fill," Klieman added, turning toward Snyder in a packed auditorium. "I'm going to make you proud, Coach." Klieman was hired after winning three national titles in his first four seasons at North Dakota State. And he will have a chance to continue the pursuit of a fourth when he returns to Fargo to lead the Bison in Friday night's national semifinals against South Dakota State. It will cap what has been a whirlwind week. Klieman accepted the job Monday night, right in the midst of a practice, then took a late flight to Kansas State on Tuesday. He was greeted by fans at the airport, had a team meeting with returning players and spent Wednesday morning in a series of staff meetings. The early signing period begins Dec. 19. He planned to spend the rest of the week with North Dakota
State while simultaneously laying the groundwork at Kansas State, including the piecing together of a coaching staff. "I can't tell you how excited I am to be here," he said. "I'm even losing my voice." Klieman's hiring has been met with tepid response from those who wonder whether a coach with little experience in major college football can succeed. "I'm still going through my email," said Taylor, who also hired Klieman to succeed Craig Bohl at North Dakota State. "I had about 300 and now I'm down to about 120. What I love about it is our fans passion and they care a great deal, which is what makes this a special place." Taylor emphasized that Klieman has great credentials, including a sterling 67-6 record with the Bison that includes wins over such Power
Five programs as Iowa. But it ultimately came down to fit, and Taylor thought Klieman was the best candidate for Kansas State.

NCAA FOOTBALL Missouri Tigers
Missouri’s Tre Williams Arrested For Assault COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri defensive end Tre Williams was charged Wednesday in a domestic assault case. The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that probable cause statement alleges Williams and his girlfriend argued early Sunday and that he hit her several times while she was driving and at one point began choking her. The woman eventually was able to drive away. Williams, a 21year-old redshirt sophomore, remains indefinitely suspended from the team.
Boone County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Susan Boresi told media outlets earlier Wednesday the case had been dismissed after the office received new information. However, Boone County Attorney Dan Knight later said the case was not dismissed. He did not explain the reason for the confusion and said his office would have no further comment. No. 24 Missouri (8-4) will play Oklahoma State (6-6) in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Dec. 31.

Grundy R-5 At its meeting on Wednesday night, the Grundy R-5 Board of Education took action on several items. Superintendent Rob Deaver reported that the 2017-18 audit was approved with no discrepancies found. Following a closed session, the board voted to eliminate a part-time paraprofessional position beginning when school resumes on Jan. 3.

It was announced that an early-out will take place on Dec. 19 for Christmas break, with the high school dismissing at 12:30 p.m. and the elementary school at 12:40 p.m. Classes will resume on Thursday, Jan. 3. The board approved the evaluation for the vocational agriculture program and heard a report from the spe-
cial education director. The elementary and secondary principals also gave their reports, which included a review of MAP scores and a review of upcoming events and activities as well as recognition of individual students. The next regular meeting of the board will be at 5 p.m. on Wednesday,  Jan. 16 at the high school in Galt. Laredo R-7 Continuation of the operating levy was discussed by the Laredo R-7 Board at its meeting on Monday night.

\“Management intensive� gained fame in what MU grazing schools teach. A big part of grazing is to divide large pastures into smaller paddocks. Each paddock allows growers to limit feeding of cow herds. While cows are all in one paddock, the other paddocks still grow unbothered. With longer, uncut leaves, grass grows taller faster. Green areas allow photosynthesis. When the last paddock is reached in a rotation, the first paddock will be in full regrowth, ready to graze. Tall leaves of grass are easier for cows to graze. They graze not with teeth, but by wrapping tongues around a mouthful of grass. They waste less energy walking around nipping grass. MU research shows grazing management adds about one third to efficiency. That feeds more cows on a farm; or uses fewer acres per cow. Either way that adds profits. MU economists show grazing school graduates add millions of dollars to our state economy. “Management intensive� pays. The system does take work and attention. A gate must be opened to allow cows to move. Cows are smart; they don’t need herding to fresh grass. They move themselves,
so labor is cut. Moving cows allows farmers to check them as they pass. Problems are seen before they are costly problems. Jim Gerrish, MU inventor of the system, said if you don’t check and count cows every day, you’re not managing. I worked with scientists, telling their story for about 10 years before grazing management caught on. Farmers think of reasons not to control grazing. It means stringing hot wire fences. Waterers must be added to paddocks. It takes looking at cows and grass. Over time, farmers see neighbors' success, then they adopt. We have long ways to go. I just came back from Palmyra's Show-Me-Select Heifer sale. That‘s another use of “management intensive.� Many reasons pop up not to take charge of cow breeding. At best, it means using artificial insemination. But, now with Timed AI, cows can be bred one morning for the whole herd. That takes labor. But it cuts nights getting up to check cows during calving season. Also, it cuts calf and heifer deaths. There’s a bigger boost with managed AI breeding. Better genetics are used. Even small herds use semen from the
best bulls in a breed. Semen doesn’t cost much, considering quality. \Herd owners end up with more heifers than they need for replacements in their own herd. Those are sold in SMS spring and fall sales. Repeat buyers learn the value of guaranteed heifers and come back to pay big bucks. Prices astound even sale inventors. Management pays in grass growing or cow breeding. It pays when done right. Cow breeding takes more care than grass growing. A consignor told me last year at the sale: “You made me rich.� The beginning breeder used the MU protocols after reading my stories. I see beginners more likely to use new ideas than those who've done the same thing for years. Both systems cost more. But, management is a job paying good wages. Grass grows on its own, despite bad care. Bulls breed cows on their own, in their own sweet time. Some say, “But, I have a bull that does that.� They don’t know the cost of bull management. I spent my life time telling grass and AI stories and plan to keep at it. There’s more to do with stories on how to replace toxic tall fescue. That prevents losses from fescue foot.

Duane Dailey Receives Lifetime Achievement Award University of Missouri Extension writer and Trenton Republican-Times columnist Duane Dailey received the 2018 Agriculture Educator Lifetime Achievement Award during the Missouri Livestock Symposium on Nov. 30. The award honors an educator making significant contributions to agriculture in northeastern Missouri, says
Zac Erwin, MU Extension livestock specialist and symposium organizer. For 57 years, Dailey “taught through the media.� He writes science stories easily understood. He tells about MU research on forages, cattle and economics. “All go together,� Dailey says. “Cows eat grass and make money for 38,000 Mis-

Dailey grew up near Mercer. The farm boy left to earn a bachelor’s degree in agricultural journalism in 1957. Then he served two years in the U.S. Army before returning to MU to earn a master’s degree in extension education. He stayed in the Army Reserve, rising to the rank of captain. He retired 23 years ago after serving as an extension professor and news director in MU Ag Information. He says he “flunked retirement� to return as an MU writer.
An award-winning photographer, Dailey documented stories of more than 100 mule people. A 2014 exhibit, “Missouri Mules and Men,� showed the life of the state animal and its people. His blackand-white photos preserve history. He and the late Melvin Bradley made four books on mules. For 15 years, Dailey was codirector of the Missouri Photo Workshop. Now he continues to teach professionals there. In 2007, the Missouri Photojour-
nalism Hall of Fame inducted Dailey as a member. He holds numerous honors from media and agricultural groups. Named in his honor, the F. Duane Dailey MU Student Enrichment Fund helps agricultural journalism students. The fund, still growing, pays student travel. Dailey lives in Columbia and has two grown daughters. In acceptance, Dailey said the award was given too soon. He isn’t done yet.

Medicare Part D is an optional supplement to Parts A (hospital insurance) and B (medical insurance) that is administered by private insurance companies to help Medicare beneficiaries pay for self-administered prescription drugs. Those considering Part D coverage must proceed in a timely manner. Part D usually becomes effective at the time Medicare A and B go into effect. Those Medicare beneficiaries who postpone enrollment in a Part D plan when they were first eligible and later want to enroll will pay a lateenrollment penalty of one percent of the national premium index times the number of full calendar months that they were eligible for, but not enrolled in, Part D, if they did not have credible coverage through another source. Even if you’re not currently taking prescription medications, it’s a good idea to sign up for Medicare Part D as soon as you’re first eligible.

OP/ED
Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Tom Brown Trenton lost another important community member last week with the passing of Tom Brown. A longtime teacher at Trenton Junior College/North Central Missouri College, he was a big supporter of everything about Trenton and the area. He wrote or co-authored several books including “A Pictorial History of Grundy County” and “Better Than They Knew, a History of North Central Missouri College.” The book he wrote which I enjoyed the most was his memoir of his Wendell Lenhart wartime experiences, “Me ‘n’ Joe.” He had a great sense of humor and I remember a few years back when he was honored for his service to the community by the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce, he got up to say a few words. He said he would try to keep it short but, because of his college teaching background, he was programmed to speak in 55-minute increments! I think the thing I will remember most about Tom is his service to his country during World War II. As a young boy, I remember going with my father to the old College Inn on Main Street to eat breakfast before we went duck hunting. It was pretty early and also a Saturday, and I saw Tom there eating breakfast. I just couldn’t believe someone would be up that early if they really didn’t have to be. I asked my Dad why someone would do that and he said that he probably got in that habit during the war. The memory that really sticks with me is the story about staying awake all night in a foxhole with his gun, afraid to make a sound and being discovered and killed by the Japanese soldiers that surrounded him. What courage. Only in the last few years have we discovered about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the effects it has on military personnel who have been in battle. In visiting with him just a few years ago, he shared with me that he still had nightmares about his time in combat. He said just the previous night he woke up and was climbing the headboard on his bed. He said all he could remember from his dream was that he was climbing over some logs, but that he was sure it related back to the war. Wow, still having some flashbacks to something that happened over 60 years ago. We had the remembrance just last Friday of the day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and we continue to lose the members of our greatest generation at a rapid pace. I just hope people today appreciate the sacrifice some of our neighbors and friends made for us.
Trenton City Council Meets 2nd and 4th Monday of Every Month - 7 p.m. 1101 Main St. 660-359-3015/660-359-4310 www.trentonmo.com
What Others Are Saying.... Voters’ Will On Highway Tax Every month, the typical Missourian spends more money to maintain a personal cellphone than to maintain roads and bridges in the state. That's something that needs to be fixed, given the deteriorating status of our infrastructure. Missouri has the nation's seventh-largest state highway system and the second-lowest gasoline tax.
ELECTED OFFICIALS ADDRESSES
Guest Editorials It's a recipe for roads, bridges and other infrastructure becoming woefully underfunded, with dire consequences for economic development and public safety. The failure of Proposition D, a measure that would have generated more than $400 million, leaves Missouri lawmakers with few good options on highway funding. The proposition gained only 46 percent of the statewide vote. In Buchanan County, it won 51 percent support. Some lawmakers are talking about incremental 2-cent gas tax hikes to circumvent Missouri's Hancock Amendment that requires a statewide vote on tax increases of significant size. Others have talked about toll roads, increases to vehicle license and registration fees and fees on all-electric vehicles that don't use gasoline. All of these proposals share a certain spirit that enlightened lawmakers need to save the red-state hillbillies before we are swallowed by potholes. While we supported Proposition D, and we know this problem isn't going away, we believe lawmakers should move with extreme caution on any tax increase that appears to go against the will of the people. Before attempting an end-run on taxes, Missouri lawmakers should consider the deeply flawed nature of Proposition D. Rushed through at the end of last year's legislative session, the ballot language contained strange wording on tax exemptions for prizes won by Special Olympians. Officials with that organization said Special Olympic awards already are not taxed. Then there was the decision to send Proposition D revenue to the State Road Fund, which also funds the Missouri State Highway Patrol, rather than to roads and bridges exclusively. Proponents of the tax said voters were confused by this provision and new funding for the patrol would have freed up existing funds, presumably for highways. Can you blame voters for expressing skepticism when the message is, essentially, trust us on this one? Gov. Mike Parson deserves credit for a practical decision to support Proposition D as the best available option, but you can only polish a turd so much. Despite its flaws, Proposition D was closer to passing than a transportation sales tax in 2014. With this in mind, before raising taxes, lawmakers should consider giving Missouri voters another chance at the polls. Let's try a project-specific measure that goes exclusively to roads and bridges. — St. Joseph News-Press

A drug-monitoring program long overdue in Missouri — the only state without one — looks to be within grasp. And it has found a champion in Gov. Mike Parson. Parson, last week made it clear that a prescription drug monitoring program is high on his list and he is counting on having that bill on his desk to sign at the end of next year's legislative session. This should come as welcome news to a state that has an opiod crisis it can't seem to shake. In 2016, there were 914 opioid-related overdose deaths in Missouri — a rate of 15.9 deaths per 100,000 persons — compared to the national rate of 13.3 deaths per 100,000 persons. From 2012 to 2016 heroin overdose deaths increased from 210 to 380 deaths. Synthetic opioid overdose deaths have been increasing dramatically since 2013, from 97 to 441 deaths. Most Missouri counties and cities, weary of not seeing any legislative action, formed under the umbrella of a St. Louis PDMP. A bill to form the statewide monitoring program has been filed, and the legislator who for years was responsible for stopping passage of the bill has term-limited out of the Senate. Our state can't afford to fail another year. The news that Parson wants this to be a priority is encouraging and we applaud him for getting out ahead of it. — Joplin Globe

to get opinions from district patrons. Dr. Watkins said the board is in a position to get “very good candidates” based on the timeframe the search is being conducted. He anticipates the R-9 District having at least 21 to 22 applicants from which to choose, adding that if the search yields no viable candidates and the board felt it was not done right, a second search would be done at no cost to the district. The district is paying MSBA 7 percent of the firstyear salary of the new superintendent for its services, money that Board Vice President Brandon Gibler said he felt would be well spent. The board said it was seeking an individual with administrative experience, with superintendent’s experience preferred. They set a salary range of $105,000 to $120,000 and plan to offer the next superintendent a three-year contract. The board officially approved the 2017-18 audit, which had been presented to board members in November for review. The audit showed the district increasing its fund balances by $27,000 during the year and keeping the district in good financial shape. The board voted to change the date for the January meeting to Wednesday, Jan. 16 as Wiebers would not be available for the regular meeting on Jan. 8. The meeting will still be at 5:30 p.m. in the district office. Werthen Gass was approved as the local recipient of the MSBA Future Builders Belcher Scholarship, having the top essay from among three submitted. She will receive $250 and will be eligible
to compete for a regional scholarship of $750. All votes taken were 7-0. The board heard several reports, including: • Monday, April 22 will be used as a make-up day for classes missed on Nov. 26 due to snow. Any other needed make-up days will be added on to the end of the school year. • Several safety concerns are being addressed at Rissler Elementary School, including trauma training being introduced on Jan. 30, staff working on PBS booster lessons for students when they return from Christmas break and students being kept inside during car rider dismissal due to car safety concerns and cold temperatures. • THS Principal Ron Franklin presented the report on the district guidance program and announced that the 2017-18 yearbook has been selected for induction into the Walsworth Yearbook Gallery of Excellence. This is the second time in four years a THS yearbook has received this honor. • Incumbent Dorothy Taul has filed for re-election to the board, subject to the April election. The term of Marci Cutsinger is also expiring. Persons interested in filing for the board can do so from now until Tuesday, Jan. 15 at the district office during regular business hours. The office will be closed on Dec. 24, 25 and 31 and on Jan. 1. Following an executive session, it was announced that Jackie Price has been employed as the 2019 summer school principal and Amber Sprague was hired as the summer school secretary. Approved as subs were Shaylee Summers, Amber Draper and Kathy Jenkins.

for which citizens pay $3 per month. Ann Hamilton, who is with the NMSWMD, volunteered to provide that training and there was also a suggestion to include flyers in monthly utility bills, explaining what type of items can be recycled. The vote to continue recycling in Trenton was 7-1, with Fisher voting no. The vote included accepting the five-year bid submitted last month by Hope Haven, which begins at $2.64 per month in 2019 and goes up seven cents each year through 2023. An additional $1 will be charged for an administrative fee paid to the city, which does billing of the services for Hope Haven, making the bid for the first year $3.64 per year. Burress told the council that grant funds are available which would allow the city to purchase plastic bins that could be provided to local residents for their recycled items. He said he believed having the bins might be helpful in getting more residents to recycle. The council unanimously approved renewal of employee health insurance with MIRMA. The cost will be $632 per month per employee, which is $12 a month higher than what is currently being paid. The total yearly increase for the city will be $9,936, which will be split between the city and TMU. In other business, the council:
• approved financing through Community Leasing Partners for the new fire training facility. A total of $1,152,750 million will be financed over 20 years at an interest rate of 4.69 percent, with no penalty if paid off early. The loan will be paid from proceeds of the fire tax. Community Leasing is the same company that is financing the last fire truck purchased by the city. • approved asphalt rock and sand bids from Norris Quarries. The rock bid was $15 per ton and the sand bid was $6.75 per ton. • voted to continue contracting with Tara Walker for city attorney services. Mrs. Walker announced at the meeting she would be starting her own private practice, effective on Dec. 17. • was told Jake Baucom began his duties as a Trenton police officer on Monday and that the department still had one vacancy. • was told the city had received a $1,500 donation from the local trap and skeet organization for the city’s assistance with putting up a fence at the trap and skeet range. • was told the city was continuing efforts to improve water quality, which City Administrator Ron Urton said seemed to be getting better. Algae in the reservoir due to dry weather and work on the water towers, which did not allow the city to wash out basins at the water plant, were blamed for the water situation.

Something To Think About VINCE NEAL DIRECTOR
ACCEPTANCE OF DEATH To accept the concept of death is to be comfortable with the idea of our own mortality. Our physical existence is unquestionably finite. None of us will be on this earthly planet forever. Yet, as obvious and universal as this is, the number of people who have difficulty accepting it is truly impressive. Most of us simply delay consideration of the issue until absolutely necessary. Even then, when faced with the impending death of a loved one or ourselves, many people refuse to handle the matter realistically. They feel it is accepting defeat.
However, acceptance of the inevitability of death is not the same thing as being resigned to an early death or giving up all hope of recovery. We should seek to enjoy and appreciate the time we have, and try and hope to prolong it. Still, this should not prevent us from coming to terms with one of the truths of human existence.

Dear Annie: My husband is friends with a couple from college with whom we have exchanged Christmas cards and graduation announcements over the past 25-plus years. They have three sons, all of whom we sent a card and money to when they graduated from high school. However, when our daughter graduated in May, they sent nothing -- not even a card. They are in great financial shape, so it is not a monetary issue. This has bothered me for months. I expect their Christmas card to arrive soon, and I really want to send it back either refused/"return to sender" or with a note saying how hurt we were by their failure to acknowledge our daughter's graduation. My husband thinks it would be sufficient to just throw the card away and not send them one. I feel that they need to know that we are upset about it, especially as he thinks it is the wife who was responsible and the husband may not even know. I would appreciate your suggestions. -- Slighted Dear Slighted: Just because you sent their children
graduation gifts doesn't mean they were obligated to do the same for yours. A gift given with strings attached is really just a trap. Also, there are plenty of benign explanations for their not sending a gift. Maybe they're not so well-off as you think (we never know what goes on behind closed doors), or maybe they just forgot. Regardless, I urge you to try to find the grace within yourself to let this go. Retaliation is for war, not friendship. Send them that Christmas card, and put this behind you. I have a feeling you'd feel better for it in the long run. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Senior Dating Adventures." Although some of the points you made are valid and may apply to this gentleman, I feel that you missed the fact that the woman seemed to lose interest when he asked for a hug on the 34th date, which continued on the next two dates. It is not uncommon for senior women to enjoy and even seek out the companionship of dating. However, many are not looking for a sexual relationship. This woman has

Amazon takes on UPS, FedEx
Executives at UPS and FedEx profess not to be worried about Amazon building its own delivery service. A Morgan Stanley analyst begs to differ. Ravi Shanker says Amazon’s expanding air-delivery capabilities will lop 2 percent — nearly $3 billion — off the combined potential revenue of UPS and FedEx this year and 10 percent by 2025. “We think the market is missing the risk Amazon Air poses” to growth at the delivery giants, Shanker wrote last week. UPS and FedEx shares dropped 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively.
Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. disrupted retail and, with a market value of $800 billion, has shown it can rattle health care, groceries, streaming services and other industries with strategic investments. Amazon, however, continues to use UPS, FedEx and the U.S. post office to handle most of its packages. UPS CEO David Abney has said it would be costly and difficult for anyone to build a competing network in a short time. And Amazon’s fleet — it has agreed to lease 40 planes — is far smaller than those at UPS and FedEx, which number in the hundreds.

been widowed twice, and she may be done with needing a man for an intimate relationship. Though many seniors still have sexual relations, many women say they would love to have someone to socialize and go out with but are really not looking for anything physical. They may enjoy the company of a certain gentleman but are not necessarily physically attracted to him or interested in having sex with him. I agree that this gentleman had his feelings hurt, but your answer to him seemed to blame him for not being confident and fixating on the relationship. He seemed to just be trying to understand where he had gone wrong. I live in Florida, am in my late 60s and know many women who had wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful) marriages and/or relationships with men but now are not dating because they are not looking for another intimate relationship at this point. They are happy with who they are. - Mary Lou Dear Mary Lou: I'm printing your letter because you've shared valuable insight on another explanation for his date's behavior. There are even dating sites geared toward people over 60 that reflect different levels of companionship.
