Commission Won’t Meet The Grundy County Commission will not hold its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday due to the Great Northwest Day at the Capitol event being held that day. In addition to attending Great Northwest Day in Jefferson City, the commission will spend the rest of the week at their annual commissioner’s meeting in Columbia. In addition, it has been announced that the commission will hold its regular weekly meeting on Monday, Feb. 11 rather than Tuesday, Feb. 12 due to the Lincoln’s Birthday holiday. Also scheduled for Feb. 11 is the commission’s annual meeting with township officials to discuss CART rock. The meeting will be held at noon in the meeting room of the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri. Lunch will be provided.
Crowder Park Hike Crowder State Park will host a guided “sunset hike” to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The two-mile hike begins at 5 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 14. Hikers are to meet at the tennis court parking lot and are encouraged to dress warmly.
TMU Makes Modifications Trenton Municipal Utilities has completed modifications at the city water plant, designed to protect private lead service lines and reduce the possibility of lead entering water used in homes with these types of service lines. TMU Director/City Administrator Ron Urton said the utility is also preparing to complete another round of lead testing in February in 2019. The 40 locations tested throughout 2018 will continue to be tested in 2019. TMU is encouraging customers to review simple tips, which will be included in the next utility bill, to learn how the risk of exposure to lead can be reduced. Tips include flushing water taps for one to two minutes before using water to drink or cook, purchasing a home treatment device or using bottled water for cooking or drinking. The city has also established a water quality hotline (660-234-9172) for customers to call if they have questions or concerns regarding this issue.

2019-20 Budget Approved Following Hearing
Officials Hoping Deficit Will Shrink The 2019 Grundy County budget looks bleak. There’s really no other way to describe a budget that projects a deficit of $502,419. The question to be answered is if the county can continue the trend of projecting a deficit in January and actually seeing a surplus in December. At least one commissioner is not sure that can happen this year. “Historically, we haven’t made up $600,000,” said First District Commissioner Don Sager in explaining why he was the “no” vote in a 2-1 vote to approve the document on Tuesday morning. That may be true, but there is reason to believe that the final figures won’t be as bad as the projections show. While a deficit of more than $375,000 was projected for the 2018 budget, the county actually ended the year with a positive balance of more than $240,000. That’s been the trend over the past several years and county officials are hoping it continues. The budget, which received “yes’ votes from Presiding Commissioner Phil Ray and Second District Commissioner Joe Brinser, shows projected total revenues of $4,693,199 and total expenditures of $5,195,618, leaving a budget deficit of $502,419. With net cash available for 2019 of
$3,316,495.48, the commission has projected an estimated ending fund balance of $2,814,076.48. The positive ending to 2018, according to Grundy County Clerk and Budget Officer Betty Spickard’s budget message, can be attributed to not only county officeholders holding the line on expenses, but also to ambulance collections that were well above projections and funds that were budgeted but not expended, such as $50,000 for 911 equipment, $25,000 for remodeling of the third floor courtroom, $10,000 for jury trials not held and $10,000 for the cost of anticipated elections that were not held. There were some issues, however, including sales tax being down almost $34,000 last year as well as $58,000 in projected revenue from state reimbursement of prisoner per diem not being received. At the last minute, the commission transfered $38,000 from the emergency fund and $3,000 from the Sheriff Inmate Security Fund to the Law Enforcement Center fund to cover expenses. The 2019 budget shows county employees receiving a 25-cent per hour pay increase. The county will pay 5.8 percent more in medical insurance costs and has learned there will be a 21.9 percent increase in worker’s com-

pensation and an 8 percent increase in liability insurance. The vehicle insurance deductible has been doubled from $250 to $500 and there has been a 9.7 percent increase in building and contents insurance. Mrs. Spickard said the insurance rates are subject to change with the work comp audit and purchases of any new equipment. There are a few constants -at least for this year - in the budget, including $200,000 for CART rock and $20,000 for University of Missouri Extension. The budget also includes $45,000 for economic development, which includes funding for the North Central Missouri Development Alliance and the North Central Missouri Business Facilitation Group. On the revenue side, the commission has budgeted $487,000 (down from $500,000 budgeted in 2018) in sales tax revenue from each of the county’s three sales taxes for a total of $1,461,000, with another $301,500 expected to be generated in property tax revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are listed at $1,627,010 and charges for services are budgeted at $385,700. Transfers in include $664,500, with “other” income listed at $245,050 and interest income listed at $8,439. In the public hearing held prior to the budget approval, there were a few
themes in the discussion: how to increase revenue, what role economic development plays in generating revenue and what role the ambulance service plays in the budget. Obviously, the only revenue-generating arm of the county is the ambulance service, which is starting the year with $1.5 million in funds available. Brinser said he will be looking this year at ways to generate revenue, since cutting expenses does not seem to be a plausible long-term solution to the problem. The increase in minimum wage, Ray said, affects not only the county and its employees, but every vendor the county does business with. So do the increase in health insurance, operating costs and the other costs of doing business. “We’re doing our best to compensate for that when we’re doing our budget,” Ray said. “This is why I so faithfully support economic development. It’s one way we can go out and attempt to create revenue. We need to be putting our best foot foward.” In discussing the ambulance service, which brings in a lot of revenue and costs a lot to operate, the commissioners said they have budgeted less for overtime this year, with $207,000 budSee Budget, Page 3
Megan Derry Is New Executive Director
Local Woman To Lead Downtown Group Megan Derry of Trenton was welcomed as the executive director of the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association during the organization’s annual membership meeting on Tuesday. Ms. Derry will begin her

Trenton. She also will be leading Trenton’s participation in the Missouri Main Street Connection program. “We are excited to have hired Ms. Derry and are eager to work with her toward a bright future for Trenton and
its historic downtown business district,” TDIA President Dave Bain said. The executive director’s position is part time. In other business, the TDIA membership re-elected Phil Hoffman, Dr. Lenny Klaver,
Sarah Maloney and Bonita Price to the organization’s governing board. Members also voted to expand the board from nine to 11 members. Two downtown business owners, See TDIA, Page 3
New Police Officer Hired
Final OK Given For Fire Tower Funding An ordinance authorizing a lease-purchase agreement with First Security Finance, Inc. for a modular fire training tower received unanimous approval from members of the Trenton City Council on Monday night, but not before several minutes of discussion regarding additional costs incurred to secure the funding. On a 7-0 vote, the council approved the agreement, which allows the city to borrow $1,187,734.39 for the “acquisition, construction, equipment and installation” of the tower at the city’s fire training site, located north of the emergency service building on Harris Avenue. The loan, which extends over a 20-year period, will be paid back by funds generated through the city’s fire tax, with payments of $90,000 per year (two $45,000 payments). The interest rate of the loan is 4.41 percent, which is actually lower than the rate originally secured by the city. The rate was negotiated by tax attorney Toni Stegeman of Gilmore Bell, who was hired by the city at its Jan. 14 meeting to assist with the process. The new rate will allow the city to keep its payments at $90,000 per year. The original interest rate had been 4.68 percent. The lower interest rate was needed after the city learned the lender was requiring payment and performance bonds and performance risk insurance to assure completion of the project - all to be paid for by the city. The total cost of those bonds was $25,000 and, along with $13,000 in additional expenses approved by the council earlier this month for hiring a tax attorney and other related costs, an additional $38,000 was borrowed for the project. Despite a lower interest rate, Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue called the rate “excessive.” It was noted
National Weather Service There’s a big warmup on the way with cloudy skies and a high of 50 on Saturday and 59 on Sunday. There is a chance of drizzle and fog throughout the weekend. The high at the Government Weather Station at Trenton on Jan. 28 was 16, Tuesday’s high was 13 with a low of -15 and Wednesday’s high was 1 with a low of -14. There was no report available from the Government Weather Station near Spickard.
that the city would be able to pay off the loan after 10 years without penalty. In the only other action taken by the council, unanimous approval was given to the hiring of Kami Nelson of Cameron as a new officer with the Trenton Police Department. Miss Nelson is a December graduate of the law enforcement academy in St. Joseph, where she was recognized as the “Best Cadet in the Class,” and currently works as a jailer for the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department. She will begin her duties in about two weeks. Her hiring brings the police department to full staff. Councilman Larry Crawford requested that city staff visit with the Missouri Department of Transportation regarding the speed limit on Highway 6 as vehicles traveled out of the west city limits and past the new Dollar General store. He requested the speed limit be decreased from the current 45 mph to 35 mph. Councilman Lou Fisher also expressed concern about people using the roadway as a sidewalk when going to Dollar General and asked about sidewalks in the area. City Attorney Tara Walker said she would review the city’s ordinance regarding responsibility of sidewalks along a state highway within the city limits. City Administrator Ron Urton said the city now has permanent possession of the building that had housed Green Hills Animal Nutrition and that the locks to the building had been changed. The city had previously sent a letter of eviction to the company, which had not paid rent on the facility for several months. It was noted that some equipment
Administrative, Utility Committees Meet Street lights, net metering and trash bid specifications highlighted items discussed during meetings on Tuesday night of the Trenton City Council’s utility and administrative committees. City Administrator Ron Urton presented utility committee members with the annual net-metering report, which addresses power generated from individuals who have solar panels, with the power being put back into the city’s electric system. Urton said there are four households on the city’s net-metering program, with one household adding 8.5 kilowatts of power to the system this year. He also reported that the city’s peak usage in 2018 occurred at 10 a.m. on Jan. 16, when 16.5 megawatts of power was needed. The committee reviewed the cost estimate of $16,500 to install three street lights along Highway 6 to the new Dollar General store. Urton said the committee discussed the possibility of putting a sidewalk in the area, which would require the lights to be moved to a different location, as well as discussed just installing one light at the entrance to the store. It was decided to table the matter until Urton can visit with officials from the Missouri Department of Transportation about the sidewalk. Urton also presented information regarding the Trenton Municipal Utilities accounting system. He told members that while profit is determined from revenues minus normal operating expenses, debt payments and major construction costs are then taken from the profit total. He

Wrestlers Pick Up Two Wins On The Road In Stanberry After finishing second at the Grand River Conference Tournament on Saturday, the Trenton High School wrestling team traveled to Stanberry on Tuesday night for a triangular with two schools that finished below them in the conference standings - Stanberry and North Andrew. The tournament finish proved to be a quality gauge as Trenton handled Stanberry 38-23 and North Andrew 42-12. The two wins moved Trenton to 9-8 in dual matches on the season. “It was a good night for us in Stanberry,” Trenton Head Coach Charlie Bacon said. “I thought the kids were more patient in their matches and jumped on opportunities to score at the right time rather than forcing it.”
vs. STANBERRY Against Stanberry, only seven matches were contested on the mat and Trenton dominated the action, winning six of those bouts. Brice Gibler suffered a 21-4 technical fall loss at 126, but it was all Trenton from that point on. Payden McCullough picked up a win by fall at 132 that tied the dual at 12-12 at that point. Kaden Owen followed with an 8-0 major decision win at 145. “As great as getting pins are, many matches in this dual went the distance, which I think our kids needed more than just the quick pins to make up for time we’ve missed on the mat,” Bacon said. “Payden McCul-
lough and Kaden Owen got the ball rolling for us with two big wins that were very close until the end. I think these two really set up the momentum for what would follow.” Noah Lewis scored a 5-2 decision win at 160 and Mark Trump kept the momentum going at 170, scoring a win by a 14-4 major decision. Caleb Johnson got a 6-0 win at 182 and Jarvis Collis capped the dual with a win by fall at 285. “Noah Lewis came out and got a huge 5-2 decision over a kid that he has wrestled many times and never beat until now,” Bacon said. “I was really proud of the way Noah wrestled. To finish the night off, Mark Trump, Caleb Johnson and Jarvis

NO MORE WAITING
After Considerable Time Off, Bulldogs Return With Wins With an undefeated record on their resume, the Trenton High School girls basketball team is used to controlling everything. The pace of the game, the opponents’ key scorers, the defensive pressure they are all variables the Bulldogs have controlled in this remarkable season. What Trenton couldn’t control, however, was the weather. Snow has wiped out the last two weeks of the high school basketball season for several teams, including the Trenton girls. It had been 17 days since Trenton walked off the court at the Lawson Tournament as champions. Despite the long layoff, a span in which Trenton only got in three practices, Tuesday night’s road trip to Unionville for a Grand River Conference match-up with Putnam County provided a return to normalacy for the Bulldogs, who hammered the Midgets 68-20. The win gave Trenton its 16thstraight victory of the season, though this one was two weeks in the making. “For only having three practices in the last two weeks we played pretty well,” Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We struggled making gamespeed decisions, had more turnovers than normal and we struggled from the free-throw line, but we defended well.” The signs of rust were there. The Bulldogs connected on just eight-of-16 free throw attempts and turned over the ball 15 times but, in typical Trenton fashion, those flaws mattered little in the game’s outcome. Trenton’s defense was more than good enough against a conference foe. Trenton collected 18 steals as a team, blocked five shots and rarely let Putnam County get more than one shot off on each possession. The Midgets managed just two points in the opening eight minutes and sat at just 10 points at halftime. Putnam County added another eightpoint quarter in the third and
managed just two points in the fourth to reach their paltry total of 20 points for the game. Maci Moore equaled Putnam’s team total on her own, leading Trenton with 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Salem Croy followed with a season-high 15 points and Ainsley Tolson went for 14 points, five assists and four steals. Lexi Whitaker chipped in eight points and had three assists. Trenton also got seven points and five steals from Mykah Hurley. Sidney Lynch had four points and 12 rebounds and Taylor Richman finished with five assists and three steals. “Offensively, we actually executed well,” Upton said. “We shot great from the floor and we found each other a lot. We have some work to do to get into really good game shape, but we played hard and especially played with intensity on the defensive end.” Now at 16-0, Trenton prepares for a non-conference game with Stanberry on Friday night, which is also courtwarming for THS. Stanberry enters that match-up at 17-1 on the season and is ranked sixth in the state at the Class 1 level. Trenton is ranked third in the state at the Class 3 level. The game could be a preview of the Grand River Conference championship on Feb. 9 in Bethany. Trenton is currently first in the GRC East at 5-0 in league play. Stanberry is in a three-way tie atop the West standings with Worth County and North Andrew. Trenton has defeated Stanberry in the GRC championship game in each of the past two seasons. Trenton and Stanberry tip off from Trenton at 6 p.m. on Friday with nothing on the line other than pride. TRENTON BOYS The Trenton High School boys basketball team was also able to pick up a victory after a long layoff, but had already gotten a win over Richmond at
NJCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL
the Hamilton Tournament last week before the event was cancelled. Against Putnam County, Trenton made it two in a row, defeating the Midgets 54-43 and vaulting from sixth place to third in the GRC East standings with the win. Trenton trailed 15-14 after the initial eight minutes of the game, but did just enough in each quarter from there on to pick up the narrow victory. After leading by a single point at halftime, Trenton used a 128 run in the third period to create a little breathing room and then tallied 19 fourth-quarter points to seal the victory. “We played hard all night, but were just a little sloppy at times,” Bulldog Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “I was glad to see the rust falling off after so much time off due to the weather.” Trenton, playing without Carson Radcliff, who was out due to illness, found offense in the post from Max McNabb and Carson Burchett. McNabb led Trenton with 15 points and Burchett followed with a 14point night. “Our post play was strong again,” Austin said. “That sets us up to do a lot more offensively.” The post play of McNabb and Burchett opened doors for Dylan Harris, who added 14 points of his own to go with six assists. Isaac Harris added five points and Dalton Burchett and Jaren Whitney each scored three points to round out the Trenton total. With the win, the Trenton boys improved to 7-9 overall and 3-2 in GRC play. The Trenton boys will take on Stanberry in non-conference play on Friday following the girls’ contest. Both Trenton teams will be in make-up action on Saturday, traveling to Polo for a Grand River Conference doubleheader. Action tips off with the girls game at 4 p.m. and the boys contest will follow.
NCMC 100, Culver-Stockton JV 67
NCMC Men Run Culver JV The North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team had no trouble dispatching of the Culver-Stockton junior varsity on Tuesday night at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton, picking up a 100-67 victory over the visitors. North Central jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, pulling away throughout the contest. By the end of the night, North Central had six players in double figures. Jordan Reece led the Pirates with 18 points while Calvin Heidenwith and Soloman Thomas
each added 13. North Central also got 11 points from Quinan Rieves and Yacento Scott, Jr. and Cameron Lockett finished the game with 10 points each. With the win, North Central improved to 109 overall on the season. The Pirates return to action on Saturday, traveling to face Region 16 foe St. Louis Community College. A women’s game between the two schools tips off at 1 p.m. and the men’s game will follow at 3 o’clock.
Collis all three came out and won matches that could have gone either way. I was really happy with the performance against Stanberry and I feel like we are heading in the right direction for the postseason.” Trenton’s performance on the mat more than made up for the Bulldogs giving up 18 points due to open weights at 120, 138 and 152. Trenton got forfeit wins from Thomas Lovell (106) and Jadan Whitney (195). Double forfeits occurred at 113 and 220. vs. NORTH ANDREW North Andrew featured a lineup with 11 open weights, making Trenton a winner before the dual even began. On the mat, however, three matches were held with Trenton
going 1-3 in those matches. Lovell wrestled up to 113 to get a match and lost by fall. Owen was pinned at 145, but Lewis gave the Bulldogs a win on the mat with a win by fall at 152. Gibler (126), McCullough (132), Trump (170), Johnson (182), Whitney (195) and Collis (285) all won by forfeit. The schools double forfeited at 106, 120, 138, 152 and 220. UP NEXT The Trenton wrestlers will travel to Higginsville on Thursday for a dual with the Huskers. That event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Trenton travels to the Lexington Dual Tournament on Saturday. First matches there are set for 8 a.m.
Sports Briefs... Trenton JV Closes Season The Trenton High School junior varsity basketball teams closed out their respective seasons on Monday night with a road trip to Stanberry. Both Trenton teams suffered losses in the season finale as the girls fell 48-25 and the boys lost 41-36 in double overtime. For the Trenton girls, Chandler Lynch led the way with 11 points while Mallory Sole scored four and Hannah Bowe and Haven Burress each added three. Morgan King, Jenna Reeter and Teya Cooksey all scored two points each in the loss. The defeat was the first of the season for the girls JV squad, which finished the year with a 7-1 overall record. In the boys contest, the Bulldogs found themselves down by four points with less than two minutes to play. Trenton would rally, getting four consecutive stops to end regulation, and score on two of the possessions to force overtime at 34-34. In the first overtime, both teams would trade buckets, then struggle to score. In the final overtime, Trenton was unable to find points and fell by the five-point margin. “The boys competed hard tonight, just like they have all season,” Trenton JV boys Coach Kameron Cool said. “I am proud of how far this group has come and look for them to keep getting better in the future.” Brycin Loyd led the Trenton boys with 13 points and Chase Otto followed with 11. Gavin Roeder had six points, Camdyn Leeper had five and Royce Jackson had one. The loss gave the Trenton JV boys a final record of 4-4 for the season.
Grundy Scores Road Sweep In Gilman The Grundy R-5 High School basketball teams spoiled Senior Night in Gilman City on Tuesday, sweeping the Hawks on their home floor. Grundy took the girls game 58-27 and the boys contest 67-50. In girls action, Aubrey Gann picked up 19 points, 14 steals and eight rebounds to pace the Panthers in the win. Brianna Carpio added 13 points and four steals and Daya Allnutt added 10 points. The Panthers also got eight points, six steals and five assists from Morgan Axtell and Alissa Webb had eight points as well, pulling down six rebounds in the game. For the Grundy boys, Caden Gann led the Panthers with 21 points while Cooper Lewis had 15 points and 12 rebounds and Tanner Williams scored 14 points. Both Grundy teams travel to Hale on Thursday for non-conference action.

geted versus $274,347.73 actually paid out in overtime last year, a figure that is nearly $100,000 more than was spent in 2017. A total of $210,000 was budgeted last year. The problem, according to commissioners, has been the lack of paramedics. Two paramedics are required for each shift (one on each ambulance) and with not enough paramedics available, the available paramedics have been working overtime. The commission said the department now has enough paramedics on staff that it should somewhat alleviate the problem. In addition, the ambulance operates on a 48-hour shift so staff members are always paid a minimum of eight hours in overtime. As has been discussed in the past, there is a desire to keep ambulance employees from leaving the county to work for other ambulance departments where they can earn more money. When asked if the commission is not worried about employees in other county departments leaving for higher wages, the answer was “yes’ but it was noted that there is a huge demand statewide for paramedics and EMTs. Also noted was the shift schedule available to emergency services personnel, who can go to another county to work for two days (a 48-hour shift) and return home to Grundy County for the remaining five days. That’s not the case with other county employees. Brinser said that, overall, he is comfortable with the budget, feeling that the county will see expenditures lower than budgeted. While Brinser said the sales tax revenue has been es-

From 12:45 to 3 p.m., students will have the opportunity to attend four professional development classes of their choice in exchange for their regular sixth, seventh and eighth hour classes. Over 30 classes, each of which will last 30 minutes, will be offered and taught by community members, who will provide students with information about jobs in which they are interested. Classes will include preventive auto maintenance, nursing and nursing administration, sports medicine and athletic training, crocheting, sewing, barn quilting, insurance and banking basics, communications and more. For more information, persons can contact THS Principal Ron Franklin or counselor Carrie Crouse at 359-2291.
timated conservatively, both Sager and Ray said they are worried about falling sales tax revenues. None of the commissioners could rule out having to cut employees or at least their hours, in the future. Ray summed the whole document up in a few words. “This is a ‘plan for the worst, hope for the best’ situation,” he said. Below is a synopsis of the county’s major funds, with the amount carried over from 2018, projected revenues, total funds available for 2019, projected expenses and the estimated ending balance. General Revenue Carry-Over: $831,890.47 Revenue: $1,564,700 TFA: $2,396,590.47 Expenses: $1,708,338 EEB: $688,252.47 Major revenue sources in the General Fund include property tax, $236,500; sales tax, $487,000; intergovernmental revenues, $24,900; charges for services, $355,200; interest, $2,000; other sources, $111,100; and transfers in from other sources, $348,000 ($300,000 from the ambulance fund, plus $24,000 each from road and bridge and the ambulance fund for administrative fees). The commission said there is a possibility that a portion of funds seized through the North Missouri Drug Task Force can be used for law enforcement purposes however, since the expenditures have not been approved and are not guaranteed, they cannot be budgeted. Major expenditures from the fund include the majority of salaries and funds to operate the various county departments and courthouse expenses. They include county commission, $136,080; county clerk, $106,400; elections, $43,600; buildings and
grounds, $97,500; employee fringe benefits, $180,000; treasurer’s office, $95,050; Circuit Clerk, $54,050; court administration, $38,695; public administrator, $55,240; sheriff, $388,365; prosecuting attorney, $108,120; juvenile officer, $74,098; county coroner, $28,790; emergency fund, $50,000; and other (Extension, insurance, dues, etc.), $252,350. Road and Bridge Carry-Over: $309,997.63 Revenue: $611,500 TFA: $921,497.63 Expenses: $692,345 EEB: $229,152.63 Revenues include $65,000 in property taxes and $541,000 in intergovernmental revenues, such as $485,000 in CART rock, $55,000 in off-system bridge reimbursement for engineering services and $1,000 from the recycling fund. Expenditures include $80,000 in salaries, which is $16,500 less than last year as the department is now operating with three, rather than four, employees. Expenditures for bridge materials total $169,000, with $280,000 budgeted for road maintenance and repairs (including the $200,000 in CART rock money to the townships) and the county will make a $43,000 payment on the excavator. The county bridge crew will build two small bridges, although it has not been determined which ones will be replaced. A bridge in Jefferson Township on Southwest 80th Avenue, near the intersection of Routes U and F, is being looked at for replacement in the future, but that project would be contracted out rather than being built by the county crew. In discussing recent comments by Trenton Mayor Dr.
Nick McHargue that the county should be paying more toward maintenance of city streets, the commission noted the Missouri Constitution determines how the gas tax is distributed and the city of Trenton is getting its share as is the county. In addition, the county not only provides the $200,000 in CART rock money to the county’s townships, but also purchases all the tubes and installs those that are 48 inches or larger. Ambulance Fund Carry-over: $1,515,651.82 Revenues: $1,217,500 TFA: $2,733,151.82 Expenses: $1,421,604 EEB:$1,311,547.82 The budget shows the majority of revenue coming from sales tax revenue, $487,000, and ambulance collections, $720,000. The commission said they might be looking at ambulance rates either in the first or second quarter of this year, noting that while rates may need to be increased, there is no point in charging more than the reimbursement rates for Medicaid and Medicare. It has been three years since rates were increased. On the expense side, wages total $773,544 while office supplies are listed at $10,700, and supplies (which include fuel, oil, uniforms and medical supplies) are listed at $99,000. Equipment repair and maintenance are listed at $107,000. Of that amount, $50,000 is listed for new equipment, which includes a variety of items to be placed on the ambulances. The ambulance department pays $17,000 in rent for the building on 17th Street. The other major expenditure is $374,000 in transfers out, which includes the $300,000 to General Revenue, $24,000 for an administrative fee and
$50,000 to the 911 Fund. Law Enforcement Center Carry-Over: $809.02 Revenues: $762,150 TFA: $762,959.02 Expenses: $755,190 EEB: $7,769.02 This fund is used to operate the Grundy County Law Enforcement Center, as opposed to operating the sheriff’s department. Main sources of revenue include sales tax, $487,000; intergovernmental revenues, such as prisoner board bills, transporting prisoners, extradition, etc., total $105,000; and a transfer in from general revenue of $170,000 is budgeted. Expenses include salaries and fringe benefits of $282,000, office expenses of $14,000, equipment and supplies of $47,000, utilities of $53,720, insurance of $18,000, prisoner expenses of $45,500 and a payment on the LEC building itself of $230,000. Prisoner per diem reimbursement from the state continues to be somewhat unreliable, according to commissioners. Assessment Fund Carry-Over: $55,717.52 Revenues: $191,910 TFA: $247,627.52 Expenses: $191,385 EEB: $56,242.52 The Assessment Fund will see the vast majority of its income from $183,710 in intergovernmental revenues, which include $28,710 in state reimbursements and $155,000 in collector’s withholdings. Expenses include salaries and fringe benefits of $142,085, plus $25,000 for copier rent and smaller amounts for items such as mileage, fuel, oil, printing, office supplies, etc. A copy of the complete budget can be viewed in the county clerk’s office, located on the second floor of the courthouse.
McHargue and Urton had visited with Seventh District Rep. Rusty Black about the condition of Highway 6 through Trenton, which is on the MoDOT schedule to be resurfaced in 2020. Urton said he anticipates MoDOT will be filling potholes as soon as weather permits, however, Dr. McHargue said he feels the road “will not last” until 2020 without some work on it now. He called it “the most disgusting piece of highway” he has ever seen. Black is to come to Trenton to look at the situation. • was told by Dr. McHargue that he had been told OATS was not transporting residents to and from the Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments. Building and Nuisance Board Prior to the city council
meeting, members of the Building and Nuisance Board took action on several properties. Properties on which a 90day extension was given to continue work include 409 E. 18th St., owned by Altoff/Matlege; 812 Grant St., owned by Michael and Ruth Smith; 813 Olive St., owned by Denise Jones and others; 2002 Chicago St., owned by Samuel Southers; 302 E. Seventh St., owned by Gary and Susan Jacobs; 1312 Gilmore St., owned by Marvin Knapp; and 1001 Custer St., owned by Colbi and Andrew Riley. Property at 1802 Carnes St., owned by Dwayne Couch, was moved to a public hearing while property at 510 W. Crowder Road, owned by Donald and Twyla Whitney, was moved to findings of fact. Property to be issued a certifi-
cate of existence of dangerous building included 200 W. Seventh St., owned by Karen Todd; and 212 W. Seventh St, owned by Skyla Southwick. The board approved language in a letter to be sent to individuals who request placement on the city’s demolition program while the property is going through the court system because of nuisance violations. The letter is similar to one sent to individuals requesting their property be placed in the program but who are not in the court system, however, the new letter contains a provision requiring the owners to be 100 percent responsible for the hazardous materials inspection fee and all abatement cost before being accepted into the program. The board agreed to allow electricity to be turned on at
509 Jackson St. so that the new owner can do renovation work. The property had previously been on the city’s nuisance list and the individual purchasing the property was not made aware of this until right before closing on the property. Electricity to the property had been turned off. A water meter will not be activated at the home until all required work to get it back to code has been completed. The owner was given until April 1 to have the inside work completed. Police Chief Rex Ross reported that 258 nuisance violations were dealt with by the police department in 2018, with 179 being cleaned up, 61 taken to court and 18 remaining active. Code Enforcement Officer Donnie Vandevender said there are 13 nuisance cases in court at this time.
making a loan from the electric department to the wastewater department for the headworks project at the wastewater plant. Urton said no action was taken. Utility committee members discussed specifications they would like to see included in the bid for trash hauling services. Urton said he anticipates bids to be advertised in the next few weeks so that a decision can be made by the coun-
cil as soon as possible. The city has been under an extension of its current contract with Rapid Removal since Jan. 1 after the city council turned down all bids received in December for a new five-year contract. Urton also announced that the city council’s finance committee will meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 6 p.m. to work on the 2019-20 budget.

Up Next For R-9: ‘No-Tax Increase’
With a new superintendent now on board, the Trenton R-9 Board of Education can now turn its attention to its next big project - passage of a “no-tax increase” bond issue to make facility improvements. It was announced on Monday that current Cimarron-Ensign USD 102, KS, superintendent Mike Stegman will be taking on the same position at Trenton, starting July 1. Stegman’s selection came after a day-long interview process in which the board met with seven candidates for the position. Stegman, who has been a superintendent in Kansas for over 20 years, will reDiane Lowrey place Dan Wiebers, who is leaving to assume the superintendent’s position at Chillicothe. The board, at its January meeting, voted to place a bond issue on the ballot in April, asking voters to approve a levy that would fund $7 million worth of projects ranging from renovations at Rissler Elementary School and C.F. Russell Stadium to construction of a new fine arts center at the high school/middle school complex, which would also allow the music and vo-ag/art buildings to be connected to the other buildings on the THS/TMS campus. With bonds for the middle school building being paid off next year, the 90-cent levy for that project would also be eliminated. The board is asking voters to continue the middle school levy to pay for the new project being proposed - thus a “no-tax increase” proposition. The construction projects being proposed have been discussed by the board for several years - most of which have to do with student/staff safety concerns. With the middle school bonds being paid off, the timing is right to move forward with those improvements - especially when the project can be done at no additional cost to taxpayers in the district. There will be plenty of information about the project made available to voters, including stories in the Republican-Times, and I would certainly encourage patrons to take the time to learn about what is being proposed before heading to the ballot box on April 2. ********** Speaking of the April 2 election, the Republican-Times is working on a special section that will feature candidates for the Trenton City Council and Trenton Mayor. A questionnaire was sent out earlier this week, asking each of the eight city council candidates and four mayoral candidates to respond to a series of questions, with the answers to be printed in the newspaper in late March, prior to the election. Several topics are covered in the questionnaire - addressing both city- and utility-related issues. If you are a voter in the city of Trenton, this will be a good opportunity to learn about the candidates and help you with making your decision when you go to the polls. The exact date of publication will be announced later.
The deadline for letters is noon on Wednesday of the week they are to be published.
What Others Are Saying.... Cellphone Use While Driving A couple of thousand times a year in Missouri, drivers who are splitting their attention between looking at the road and looking at a cellphone crash their vehicles. In some of those crashes, inevitably, the driver or someone else dies.
Guest Editorials Some Missouri legislators are trying — again — to outlaw cellphone use while driving. It's a commonsense idea that, based on national trends, seems certain to become state law sooner or later. The only question is how many more drivers will die before it does. So far, 16 states, including Illinois, have banned all handheld phone activity while driving. Texting while driving — possibly the most pervasive and dangerous activity, because it takes the driver's eyes completely off the road — has been banned in all but three states. But in Missouri, drivers 21 and older can do pretty much anything they want on their phones while guiding a two-ton machine down public roadways at high speeds. In 2017, there were almost 2,600 crashes in Missouri, both fatal and nonfatal, that police know involved cellphones. Officials say that number is almost certainly low because of people who either don't admit they were using a phone or who don't survive to explain what happened. Missouri does prohibit texting by drivers under 21. But according to the Missouri Department of Transportation, some 70 percent of drivers in crashes that
involved cellphones were 21 and older. This isn't just an issue for inexperienced drivers but all drivers. Yet year after year, numerous measures in Jefferson City seeking to restrict cellphone usage while driving fail to win approval. As the Post-Dispatch's Kurt Erickson reported Wednesday, proponents are trying again this year. Legislators have introduced at least six bills to restrict cellphone usage while driving in various ways. Measures by Sen. Wayne Wallingford, R-Cape Girardeau, and Rep. Jim Hansen, R-Frankford, would ban texting for drivers of all ages — which should be viewed as the bare minimum that needs to be done. Better yet are bills filed by Reps. Nate Tate, R-St. Clair, Gretchen Bangert, D-Florissant, and Greg Razer, D-Kansas City, to ban all cellphone usage while driving. If the past is a guide, even the milder measures will face an uphill fight for approval. It isn't difficult to guess why. In Missouri, as everywhere else in America, cellphones have become so ubiquitous — and are used so often, for so many things — that asking people to put them away while driving is, for some, like oxygen deprivation. The problem can only be solved with the kind of fundamental cultural change America experienced when drinking while driving went from being routine to being legally and socially unacceptable. Such a transformation regarding cellphones behind the wheel may take time, but a strict state law making it a moving violation with significant fines is a good way to start. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Changing Eating Habits! Anyone struggling to shed a few pounds knows they need to watch what they eat, but it’s not always easy to change those habits. Reversing bad habits is possible if you keep a positive attitude, stay committed and focus on small, doable changes. Try these behavior-changing approaches, and focus on the ones that speak to you. One way to change unhealthy eating habits is to focus your attention on something else when food cravings start. We focus so much on food, but our emotions are a huge part of our eating habits. Instead of turning to food for comfort, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you. Remind yourself that food cravings last for 20 minutes at most. Maybe calling a friend, reading a book, revisiting your goals, taking a walk — anything that will distract you until the feeling passes. Another way is to change eating behavior gradually, one step at a time. Instead of eliminating evening snacks altogether, start with a rule of no snack one night a week. Increase that to two nights a week. Eventually you might be able to scale back to a snack one evening a week. As you succeed with step-by-step changes, you'll build confidence that will start fueling even more successes. Big lifestyle changes take time, but keep at it. The mini successes you'll achieve along the way will be enough to keep you going, and the new habits that were challenging at first will start feeling more natural before you know it.

There are few things more discouraging than being unable to read or perform the tasks needed to live independently due to decreased vision. Who does one turn to in this situation or who can the family member of a loved one struggling reach out to? Dr. Kevin Harris at Premier Eyecare Associates spent an additional year of residency training and working with people who have low vision due to various eye diseases. "Life with low vision can be difficult to navigate and patients need to know what resources and devices are out there to help improve their lives. The purpose of a low vision exam is to establish a primary goal for the patient and to maximize the remaining vision they do have with a combination of glasses and devices. Educating the patient about their eye disease, the limitations, and the resources available are all very important areas to discuss. There are other specialists that may also need to be included in the care of a patient with low vision." Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover devices for low vision, but they will cover most of the low vision exam and consultation. Medicare will cover the exam in full if the patient has had an updated glasses prescription within one year. The state of Missouri also offers several programs for patients depending on the level of their visual impairment: https://dss.mo.gov/fsd/rsb/. Dr. Harris can be the link to these programs which include free talking books through the Wolfner Library or home visits by a low vision rehabilitation specialist to make independent living easier. The low vision exam can also result in a prescription for the correct type and strength of magnifier or electronic device, which are available for purchase. Call 660359-3957 to schedule a low vision exam for yourself or a loved one if you feel this is what you have been waiting for!

Hometown Boy by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri
AGRICULTURE USES DEEP SCIENCE, WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE CHANGES Organic chemistry is a tough course in college. As a journalist, I couldn’t hack it. I’m a word guy, not a molecule counter. As an ag journalist I had to learn organic chemistry on the job. Agriculture uses it to make food and fuel. Farmers live by two basic sciences. They live them, even if they don’t know it. The other science vital to farms is climatology. I learned chemistry from the best teachers in ag school. They gave farm examples. When they talk calcium, they talk milk. When talking nitrogen, they tell of legumes converting N from air into fertilizer. When they talk carbon, it’s organic matter. Those make sense to me. When I took my first climatology class 59 years ago, I was taken by the topic. I continue to learn and try to understand. Weather affects farming every day. My climate professor said that if global temperature rises by 3 degrees centigrade, it’ll be a disaster. I doubted that greatly. Now, we’re half way there. I wonder. Weather happens one spot at a time. Climate accumulates data from weather stations the world over. Climate is the 100-
Delay Feeding For Early Calving Producers who want more cows and heifers calving in daylight hours should try to delay putting out hay and cubes until late in the day. “It may sound like an old wives’ tale, but it works and has unbiased research behind it,� said Eldon Cole, a livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. There are many reasons producers like calves to be born in daylight hours, Cole said. First, it’s usually warmer. Second, it’s easier to find assistance from a neighbor or a veterinarian. A third reason could be fewer sleepless nights for the owner or caretaker of the cows. “The late feeding time should start at least four weeks before the beginning of the calving season,� he said. “Research trials from Canada and the United States have varied the late feed-

year picture. Looking at one point doesn’t tell global climate. Stories in the New York Times tell about farming where climate changes. In Syria the North African deserts crept in killing farming. As a result, young men who should be tilling soil take up guns to provide for their families. Mass murder adds to mass starvation. Many places see dramatic changes in climate and culture. Missouri farmers see changes in the weather, adding up to slow climate change. In my lifetime, the Corn Belt moved north to Canada. Soybeans a southern crop became Missouri’s No. 1 cash crop. It’s the changing weather. The most basic of organic chemistry is photosynthesis. Sun beams trigger changes in every plant leaf. Stomata or holes in leaves open to pull carbon dioxide in from air. CO2 is one molecule of carbon and two of oxygen. The plant keeps the carbon but releases two oxygen molecules into the air for us to breath. Without oxygen, we die. Carbon builds plant structures. That’s in all crops and
timber. Done right carbon stays out of the air. With good farming, carbon returns to the soil. Our best soils are rich in carbon or organic matter. Here’s where carbon and climate meet. When carbon burns, whether coal or gas, molecules go up smokestacks as free carbon. Back in the air each carbon molecule grabs two molecules of oxygen out of the atmosphere. That oxygen lifts the carbon dioxide into the sky. We still burn lots of fuel. At a railroad crossing you might see a coal train heading back East. That’s tons and tons of carbon molecules going to power plants to be released into the air. It’s 120 coal cars per train now. That’s one big way we change climate. I’ve never said this is the end of civilization. I think we can change how we use energy. We need not release carbon into the air. The EPA reported at peak in the past decade we released almost 8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year into the air. With solar and wind power we’ve cut that by five percent. A step forward. But, not enough. We can change. It’ll take leaders knowing science. In this cold, I hear: “This freezing shows there can’t be global warming.� Not! Warm air from over the Pacific Ocean surface flows north to send the jet stream south to Missouri. That’s Polar air displaced by warm air. Write to duanedailey7@missouri.edu.
ing time from 4 in the afternoon to 10 p.m.� There are some problems if a producer has cattle on pasture where they can graze all day. Some Missouri cattle producers who strip-graze stockpiled fescue religiously can wait until late afternoon to move the fence to fresh pasture. “The class of females that are of most need for daytime calving are first-calf heifers,� Cole said. “If your management system allows your feeding time to be altered to very late afternoon, I would encourage you to try it.� Field studies and researchers have seen daytime calvings move to around 80 percent or higher when late-in-the-day feeding is practiced, he said.

A program meant to educate landowners and tenants on Missouri Farm Leases will be held February 12, 2019, at the Harrison County Extension Office in Bethany. The course will be instructed by a team of MU Extension Agricultural Business Specialists via live-stream, and will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. The course fee is $30 per person, which includes materials and a light meal. Additional family members sharing course materials may attend for $15. Pre-registration is required by Feb.8. “Farm leases are a popular topic with cash rents at their current level and crop prices dropping, so landlords and tenants need to make certain they are getting what they believe they should be,� said Mary Sobba, agriculture business specialist with University of Missouri Extension and one of the workshop presenters. “There are many issues both farm landlords and tenants need to be aware of and this program is designed to address these issues.� Specific topics addressed during the course include current cash rents in Missouri and trends, what items to discuss and include in a lease, terminating a farm lease – when and how to do it legally, recreational (hunting) leases – what you should be aware of, and livestock and crop share arrangements – keeping them fair for both sides. The team of MU Extension Agricultural Business Specialists have experience working with both tenants and landlords, and will share real-life experiences from across the State. This program is open to all interested citizens. Persons can call the Harrison County Extension Office at 660-4256434 or email harrisonco@missouri.edu to pre-register.

Moore’s Construction & Woodworking
64 years Moore’s Construction and Woodworking was started in March 1955 by the late Ben Moore Jr. and his wife, Bonnie. It began in the basement of his parents’ house at the corner of Seventh and Normal streets in Trenton, with Moore making cabinets and furniture. A shop was then built west of his parents’ house, where the business was moved and eventually expanded. The business moved again to the former Self’s Hatchery on Ninth Street, expanding to roofing as well as remodeling and building houses and commercial buildings. The business moved once moore to its current location northeast of Trenton, just off Highway 65 on Drake Lane. The Moores’ son-in-law and daughter, Tom and Benna Trump, currently own the business and continue to serve the community remodeling and building whatever is needed.

Grundy County Lumber Company
59 years Grundy County Lumber was originally located downtown, closer to the railroad tracks to allow for unloading products from trains. A new building was built in the current location at 1020 Oklahoma Ave., where the business was moved in 1962. The current owners, Hilbert and Sue Holeman, purchased the business from Terry and Martha Sensenich on Dec. 27, 1989, with Hilbert managing the business. Sue started working there in the summer of 1997 and continues to work part-time. They have two daughters, Hilary Black and Molly Buenemann, both of whom grew up in Trenton and graduated from Trenton High School. Molly’s husband, Austin, began working at the business in 2013 and in June of 2015, he and Molly became partners. Austin is currently the sales manager. There are also five other employees. There have been many changes through the years since the Holemans purchased the business, including the addition of more showroom space as well as adding or changing products. In 2014, an addition to the front of the original building was built along with a new concrete parking lot and drive. More changes were made in 2017 when the front entrance of the alley was closed to make space to build a showroom when the Stihl dealership was added. Grundy County Lumber sells a complete line of building products, hardware, plumbing, electrical and paint along with Stihl power equipment and accessories. Two certified technicians to service Stihl products are also on staff. The Holemans value all of their past and current customers and look forward to serving many more in the future.

table. Dear Annie: Today I asked my husband whether he had heard from anyone over the holidays, just thinking that maybe one of our friends had contacted him instead of me. He looked right into my eyes and said, "No." Something about the way he answered caused me to do something I had never done before: I checked his email when he left to go shopping. Sure enough, he had heard from someone, and I now discover he has been emailing with this person (a woman) for some time. Knowing he is having a running conversation with another woman -- plus the fact that he lied about it -- has me wondering what to do. He's been a liar in the past, but I thought he had moved beyond that. We've broken up before, but we worked things out and got back together. I trusted in him to do the right thing this time around, and until today, I believed everything was fine. Of course, the other side of this is that I wouldn't have even known this if I hadn't gone into his email. Right now, I am brooding over it and let-

Dear Annie: A few months back, I mentioned to my husband that I wish the style of men in suits and hats would come back. He came home a few days later in a little felt hat, which I have to admit looked good on him. Last week, we went out to dinner, and I told him that my grandfather always removed his hat while dining. He waved his arm in a circle and said, "Take a look around." Sure enough, a lot of men, women and children were wearing hats -mostly ball caps and a few cowboy hats. What is the proper etiquette for hat wearing these days? He does remove it in church, thank goodness. -- Hatless in Seattle Dear Hatless: Your husband is correct that wearing hats indoors is now commonplace, but that doesn't make it classy. I'd bet a big part of what appealed to you about the style of men in suits and hats was that it connoted a sense of propriety -- something increasingly rare in today's world. If your husband wants to sport that hat with true panache, he should doff it at the dinner

ting the anger build up inside me. Should I admit I snooped and I know about his lies, or should I just keep quiet and start the process of ending the relationship? Honesty is important to me. But then, I was dishonest by snooping. Help! - Liar, Liar Dear Liar, Liar: Come clean to your husband about your snooping, and in that same conversation, ask him to go to marriage counseling. By the time you find yourself wanting to snoop on your partner, mistrust has been festering for quite some time. It seems neither of you has been able to shake past issues. So perhaps this recent incident will turn out to be a very good thing for your marriage in the long run, if it persuades you both to truly open up to each other and begin the process of rebuilding trust from the ground up.

Pharma under fire
Even though the federal government has had little success reducing the prices of brand-name medicines, the bluster in Washington over drug prices can still cause trouble for drug company stock prices. Wells Fargo pharmaceuticals analyst David Maris says drug stocks could have a bumpy road for the next couple of years. Both houses of Congress have launched hearings on drug prices, bills are pending, and Democratic presidential candidates are making this a top issue on the campaign trail. Investors don’t need to baill
Longshots? Lawmakers have little to show for all of their talk of lowering drug prices, but renewed pressure is causing pharmaceutical investors to fret. Key current efforts include:
on drug stocks, but it might not be the best time to buy, Maris says. “The best advice is to wait till we get through these hearings and the election, and see what happens,” he says. He expects the lawmakers to have at least some success. For example, they may give the a government some ability to negotiate prices for Medicare drug plans. eve Shares will eventually rebound, Ma thinks, because though, Maris drugmakers will still reap large profits when they launch new drugs, even if new measures from Washington succeed.
House and Senate committees are investigating drug prices and how to reduce them. They held initial hearings Tuesday. A Republican and a Democrat are jointly sponsoring a Senate bill to let patients import drugs from approved Canadian pharmacies. Other proposals with at least some bipartisan support include making it harder for brand-name drugmakers to delay cheaper competition and limiting prices for some drugs to the lower levels paid in other wealthy countries. Democrats in Congress have proposed bills to impose financial penalties on drugmakers that raise prices too fast and have the government manufacture generic drugs to bring down high prices when there’s limited competition.

NCMC Earns Military Honor North Central Missouri College has earned the 2019-2020 Military Friendly® School designation by Victory Media. Each year, the list of Military Friendly® Schools is provided to veterans and their families, helping them select the best college, university, or trade school to receive the education and training needed to pursue a civilian career. Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey. Student survey data was also taken into consideration for the designation. Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined
by Victory Media with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans. NCMC will be showcased along with other Military Friendly® Schools in the May issue of “G.I. Jobs” magazine, and on militaryfriendly.com
