Trenton, MO 64683
Established Sept. 4, 1864 - 155th Year - No. 48
TRENTON R-9 SCHOOL BOARD
due to the weather. The district had already added May 16 as a make-up day for classes missed in October for the state high school girls softball tournament in which Trenton played. Should the final make-up day be needed, April 18 would be used. Parent-teacher conferences, scheduled for March 14, have been cancelled and students will be in class for a full day rather than the early-out, which was designated on the original calendar. Corey Leeper, who cast the lone no vote, expressed concern about not having a day available when classes could be dismissed should the high school girls basketball team play in the state tournament in March. Director of Supportive Services Kris Ockenfels noted that the district’s other options would be to go to school on Good Friday (April 19), go to school on a Saturday or go on May 28, the day after Memorial Day, which would push back the start of summer school. The board voted 6-1, with Leeper opposed, to approve the 2019-20 school calendar, which is based on the number of instructional hours school is in session rather than the number of days. DESE is
requiring districts to have a minimum of 1,044 hours of instructional time during the school year, giving schools the flexibility of building additional hours in the calendar within the school year for “snow days” if needed. With the first day of school being on Aug. 14 and the last day on May 15, 2020, the new calendar has 1,091 hours of classroom time at Rissler and 1,130 at the middle school/high school. This gives Trenton 58 hours for weather days, which equals eight full days and three early outs or late starts. The calendar extends the instructional time at Rissler by five minutes per day, making the new dismissal time 2:55 p.m. The change at Rissler is being made to allow enough total hours to be built in for weather days. Teacher contracts would not be affected and bus times and routes would have a minimal adjustment. There was also a recommendation that non-certified staff not on 12-month contracts be paid for the weather days, however, that suggestion was tabled for further discussion. The board had originally voted See R-9, Page 8

Calendar Revisions Approved Make-up days were set and administrator contracts offered during February meetings of the Grundy R-5, Laredo R-7 and Tri-County R7 boards of education. Grundy R-5 The Grundy R-5 Board of Education approved nine make-up dates for classes lost due to weather during a meeting on Wednesday night. Superintendent Rob Deaver said that Feb. 18, March 15 and March 18 will be used along with May 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 20, with May 20 being an early-out and the last day of school. R-5 has missed 12 days of school, but only nine are required to be made up so far. In addition to the make-up days, the board cancelled parent-teacher conferences, scheduled for March 14, and March 20 will now be the end of the third quarter. March 15 will also be an early-out, with the high school getting out at 12:30 p.m. and the elementary school dismissing at 12:40 p.m. The board set a public hearing for 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13 at the high school in Galt to hear public comment on the proposed 2019-20 school start date. A hearing is required when the classes start more than 10 days prior to the Labor Day holiday. March 13 will also be the regular meeting date for the board. The Annual Performance Report was reviewed with Grundy R-5 earning 100 percent of the 118 points possible. The district was only one of 10 districts in northwest

Pay Decision Based On 2019-20 Calendar Delayed
Revised 18-19 Calendar OKd Students in the Trenton R-9 School District will be losing some of their originally scheduled days off from school, but a new calendar adopted by the board of education on Tuesday night will assure the last day of classes this year will occur before the Memorial Day holiday in May. On a 6-1 vote, board members approved a revised school calendar that makes Friday, May 24 the last official day of school for 2018-19 and allows students to be out of classes prior to the start of summer school, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 28. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires school districts to make up the first seven days of class time missed due to weather, then make up every other day missed through 14 days. Trenton has missed 12 days of school due to weather through Tuesday, Feb. 12, requiring the district to make up 10 of those days. If more days are missed due to the weather, Trenton would have only one other day to make up. The calendar approved by the board designates March 15 and 18, April 22 and May 17, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 (an early out) to be used as make-up days missed

Water Line Projects Approved
Trash Hauling Bids Being Sought, Again Bids are being taken for trash hauling services in Trenton after council members approved specifications at a meeting on Monday night. The council unanimously agreed to seek new bids for the contracted services, which would include residential and city facilities trash collection along with bulky item pick-up. The contract would be for a five-year period, running from May 1, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2023. In December, council members rejected three bids received for trash hauling services and chose to extend its contract with Rapid Removal for four months until new bids could be sought. The city will be accepting bids through Wednesday, March 6, allowing the council to consider the bids at its Monday, March 11 meeting. Some additions have been made to the specifications, requiring the com-
pany to notify local media and city hall at least 24 hours in advance if trash will not be picked up on a specific day and stating which day the pick-up will occur. In addition, the company will be required to have two persons to pick up bulky items that weigh up to 150 pounds and trucks being used will be required to have single rear axels to allow for tighter turning radiuses and to reduce sliding of tandem axels at intersections. An advertisement for the bid will appear in Friday’s Republican-Times. The council, on a 6-1 vote with Brad Chumbley opposed, approved an ordinance authorizing a change in its agreement with Lathrop Gage LLP and ESSI for engineering services regarding the city’s water line testing for lead. ESSI, on a request from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, will be preparing a revised set of drawings
National Weather Service Snow returns on Friday before clearing off on Saturday during the day under sunny skies. Snow will be back on Saturday night and Sunday, with partly sunny skies on Monday.

In addition, ESSI will be available to consult with the city as it finishes up its lead testing through June 30. The cost to the city for the additional work will be $9,500. Bids were accepted for two water line projects, with both bids going to M&M Utilities, Inc. of Chillicothe. The first bid of $179,494.40 is for water line work on Eighth Street while the second bid of $155,510 is for elimination of water lines crossing Ninth Street. City Administrator Ron Urton said both bids were below what had been budgeted by Trenton Municipal Utilities for the project cost. Both projects will be completed this year prior to the state’s planned overlay of Ninth Street in 2020.
Urton reported he had talked with the Missouri Department of Transportation district engineer regarding concerns about the current condition of Ninth Street and was told it would be looked at in the spring to see if any work could be done to make improvements to the road. The council also approved the yearly net metering report from TMU regarding solar power users within its system. There are currently four users of solar power in Trenton. Chumbley asked city staff to address concerns regarding removal of snow from sidewalks on the Ninth Street bridge, noting that individuals have been walking on the roadway because the snow has not been removed. Urton said he would talk with MoDOT about the concerns and will also provide

NCMC Women 79, Graceland JV 68
Indian Hills 99, NCMC Men 84
North Central Women Snap Skid, Men Fall On The Road It has been a tough two months for the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team. The Pirates scored an 89-78 win over the Graceland University junior varsity on Dec. 5. Until another meeting with Graceland’s JV on Wednesday night, the Pirates had not won a game since. An 11-game losing streak was snapped at the Ketcham Community Center as North
Central topped the Graceland University JV once again, this time by a score of 79-68. A 29point night from North Central’s Megan Ernzen proved to be just what the Pirates needed to finally earn a victory in 2019. “It was great to finally get the win,” North Central Head Coach Jenni Croy said. “The girls played with energy for all four quarters. Megan had a tremendous game with 29
points. We knew this was a very winnable game for us and a much-needed win, but we needed to put together a complete game. The girls did just that. It’s nice to get back in the win column.” With the win, North Central improved to 7-16 overall on the season. NCMC Men While the North Central women broke their losing streak, the Pirate men saw their
own losing streak continue. The men dropped their thirdstraight game with a 99-84 loss on the road against Indian Hills Community College on Wednesday night. The Pirates held a 49-48 lead at halftime, but were outscored 51-35 in the second half as the host school prevailed. Marty Jackson had 25 points and seven rebounds to lead North Central in the loss.

Bright Futures Trenton has made a $2,411.10 donation to the Community Food Pantry of Grundy County to be used in its Backpack Buddies program. The funds were raised in December during the Bulldog Challenge activities held as part of the Trenton-Gallatin boys and girls basketball games. Included were gate receipts and donations received from individuals during the night along with revenues from “Quack for a Snack,� a “duck throwing� competition sponsored by the Rissler Site Council of Bright Futures in conjunction with Girl Scout Troop 3244 and CFM Insurance. That event raised $180. There are 66 students in the Trenton R-9 School District served by the Backpack Buddies program. The backpack cost per student for the year is $175. Pictured are, from left, front row, Ginni Wykoff, representing the food pantry; Dr. John Holcomb, Cara McClellan, Chasidy Boman; back row, Shana Norris, Leslie Woodard, Terri Critten and Ashley Phillips.
Several persons have been arrested recently, including a Harrisonville man who is accused of distributing methamphetamine near Rissler Elementary School and being in a stolen vehicle. According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, Kevin M. Miller, 28, is being held on $80,000 cash-only bond after being arrested for distribution of a controlled substance in a protected location, a class A felony; tampering with a motor vehicle, a class D felony; resisting arrest for a felony, a class E felony; stealing, a class D felony; and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, a class E felony. Miller is accused of being in possession of several bags of methamphetamine on Feb. 11 when he was within 2,000 feet of Rissler Elementary School and was in a 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck that was allegedly stolen from Carol Armstrong. He was also in possession of glass pipes and syringes with the intent to use them to inject, inhale or otherwise introduce a controlled substance into the body. Miller is also accused of stealing debit and credit cards that were appropriated from Katie Grimes, Robert Barry and Norma Roy. When Trenton Police Sgt. Matt Preston attempted to apprehend Miller, he pulled away and gave false identification. In addition, Miller is also facing a probation violation on an original charge of possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana. Both on that charge is $15,000 cash only. He was scheduled to appear in court Feb. 13 on that new charges and Feb. 14 on the probation violation. Miller is a prior convicted felon who is eligible for an extended period of incarceration if convicted of these charges. Two persons were arrested in conjunction with a motor vehicle accident. Trenton residents Jonathon B. Woods, 27, and Melanie D.
Byrnes, 39, were arrested Feb. 10. Woods is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, a class D felony, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license - third and subsequent offense, a class E felony. He is accused of possessing a Jimenez Arms, Inc. .380 caliber pistol in 2018 when he was already a convicted felon, and operating a motor vehicle when he didn’t have a valid license and after he had already been convicted twice of the same offense. His bond is $20,000 cash only. Ms. Byrnes is accused of hindering the prosecution of Woods for the driving without a valid license charge by claiming to be the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Her bond is $10,000 cash only. Both defendants are being held in the Grundy County Detention Center and were scheduled to be in court Feb. 13.

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
R-9 Board Revises Calendar
Can spring get here soon enough? After a week that saw no school, cancelled sporting events and rescheduled community activities, the sun finally showed back up on Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday, most parents were jumping for joy as they sent their children back to school. This has been a very unusual winter with 12 days of school being missed in most districts due to the snow and ice that seemed to come at the most inopportune time (and we haven’t even got to March). The Diane Lowrey weather has sent area school boards scrambling to approve revised calendars in hopes of getting all required school days in before the Memorial Day holiday. The Trenton R-9 Board of Education this week approved a new calendar for the rest of the school year that will allow R-9 to get all of its weather days made up and get students out of school by May 24 (the Friday before Memorial Day). Two days scheduled for spring break and Easter break had to be used to meet that criteria and another Easter break day (Good Friday) has been made available if Trenton were to have to make up one more day. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires that schools make up the first seven days missed due to weather. Then for the next seven days, districts make up one day for every two days missed. After 14 days, additional make-up days are not required. For the 2019-20 school year, DESE is making a change to allow school district’s to count instructional hours instead of days, with a minimum of 1,040 hours being required. This gives districts a chance to develop a calendar that has its make-up hours already built in and not have to use days already designated for other purposes. In the case of Trenton, the district built in 58 hours of weather-related time, equivalent to eight days and three early-outs or late starts. If no more days than that are missed, Trenton students will be getting out of school on May 15 - giving the district plenty of extra days for make-up due to weather, if needed, and allowing students to get out of school prior to Memorial Day. Listed below is the revised calendar for this year: February 15 – Early Out / Professional Development 18 – No School President’s Day March 14 – No Parent Teacher Conferences 15 – School in Session / Regular Day 15 – End of Third Quarter 18 – School in Session / Regular Day April 17 – Mid-Term 18 – No School (Final Weather Day, if needed) 19 – No School 22 – School in Session / Regular Day May 16 – School in Session / Regular Day 17 – School in Session / Regular Day 20 – School in Session / Regular Day 21 – School in Session / Regular Day 22 – School in Session / Regular Day 23 – School in Session / Regular Day 24 – School in Session / Early Out 28 – Summer School Begins

What Others Are Saying... Tobacco Money Squandered At more than $2.7 billion, Missouri's total payout from a landmark tobacco settlement almost boggles the mind.
Guest Editorials Twenty years later, something else is even harder to grasp. States managed to squander much of the money that was supposed to go toward tobacco prevention, with Missouri emerging as one of the worst culprits. A new report shows that Missouri is spending $48,500 on tobacco prevention efforts in 2019, out of total state tobacco revenue of $258.9 million. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the state fell more than $70 million short on the recommended target to fund tobacco prevention. You can quibble about that target, but there's no question that $48,500 is a drop in the bucket compared to $364.9 million that tobacco companies spend on marketing in the state. That's not even counting the free advertising that depicts tobacco smokers as cool on TV and movies. No wonder 20 percent of Missouri adults still smoke and 9.2 percent of high school students have taken up the habit. Then there's the growing number of students who have turned to vaping, despite concerns this habit could lead to increased smoking of combustible cigarettes. All this didn't seem possible in 1998, following a landmark settlement after tobacco companies admitted to covering up the health dangers from smoking. Last year, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids decried a lack of funding for tobacco-prevention efforts in states that collect $27.3 billion in revenue from both cigarette taxes and settlement payments. Only 2.4 percent of that money goes to prevention efforts. The anti-tobacco organization, which ranked Missouri as 48th in tobacco-prevention funding, issued a call for more money directed toward programs to keep teenagers from smoking or to help adults quit the habit. "On the 20th anniversary of the tobacco settlement, it is time for a renewed national commitment to finish the fight against tobacco and eliminate the death and disease it causes," the organization said in a statement. These days, no one seems to bat an eye if the government doesn't spend its money wisely. Here's the rub. This tobacco settlement funding fell into the laps
of Missouri and other states, presenting an opportunity to address an issue that has a huge impact on healthcare spending. The stakes are high, with 31 percent of cancer deaths in Missouri attributed to smoking. With the settlement, the state could have taken steps to help prevent these deaths without using revenue from sales or income taxes. It's almost too easy to say that it went up in smoke, but that's what happened. — St. Joseph News Press
Tuition Grant Has Merit When it comes to education funding in Missouri, there are a lot of outstretched hands. Gov. Mike Parson wants to create one more slice of the pie, this one to go toward scholarships for adults studying in high-demand fields. On Jan. 31, a story by the Associated Press said the governor's plan, one of his priorities this session, has faced early pushback from Democrats and Republicans. The plan would fund $22 million in "Fast-Track" workforce grants to cover tuition for adults older than 25 who have household adjusted gross incomes of less than $80,000. The grants could be used only for those pursuing degrees, certificates or credentials in careers in high need of trained workers, the AP reported. The grants could serve 16,000 people a year. One lawmaker asked why the state doesn't simply put more funding into existing state scholarships. Another questioned which specific academic programs would be covered. Still another wondered why the state is subsidizing the training costs, rather than employers. We believe the plan, as well as the scrutiny of the plan, has merit. The plan itself appears that it would serve a good purpose, and is one that employers are less-likely to fill these days. Many are hesitant to spend much on training employees, because those workers jump from job to job more than previously. But is this the best use of the money? If so, the details of the bill still need to be scrutinized. Should age 25 be the cutoff to receive grants? Should students have to maintain a 2.5 GPA? What are the "high-demand" fields that should be included? We hope lawmakers in both chambers give the governor's proposal a full debate. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Grundy R-5 FFA Participates In Events by Taylor Brunelle Grundy R-5 FFA Reporter The Grundy R-5 FFA has had a very prosperous year. Our members have participated in many activities throughout the year at the local, area, district, state and national level. During the spring, all students competed in Career Development Events at the area and district levels with four of our teams - Agronomy, Farm Management, FFA Knowledge and Meats Evaluation earning their way to the State FFA Convention to compete. The new officer team was inducted at our annual chapter banquet. Those officers are Kendra Betz, president; Anna Milazzo, vice president, Mayce Axtell, secretary; Emma Baxter, treasurer; Taylor Brunelle, reporter; Dorothy Mathews, sentinel; and Ellen Baxter, chaplain. During the summer our chapter stayed busy by attending Area 2 Sports Day, the Public Speaking Academy, state FFA camp, HYMAX Academy, HYPE Academy, the Galt Summer Fair and the Missouri State Fair. Our chapter also hosted several chapter events over the summer such as our annual fireworks stand and our new summer event, slip-n-slide kickball. To kick off the school year, the chapter held its annual back to school barbecue, where over 80 members and guests were in attendance. Members of
the FFA chapter also participated in two chapter fundraisers – raffle ticket sales and fruit sales. We would like to thank all supporters who purchased tickets or fruit sales items. In the fall, eight students were selected to attend the National FFA Convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Grundy R-5 FFA Chapter traveled with the Meadville and Sturgeon FFA chapters and, while in Indianapolis, the group attended sessions, the career show and expo, leadership workshops and went on various tours. In the late fall, five members of the chapter competed at the area level for fall speaking contests. Ellen Baxter competed for the Missouri Cattlemen at the area level, Rylee Johnson competed for the Missouri Institutes of Cooperatives at the area level, Anna Milazzo competed for the Missouri Young Farmers/Young Farm Wives at the district level, Ada Fox placed third at the state level for the Missouri Association for Soil and Water Conservation and Kendra Betz will be competing at the state level for the Missouri Pork Producers Association. Members of the chapter are preparing for the busy spring once again with the kickoff of National FFA Week being Feb. 17-23. As the chapter prepares for National FFA Week, we would like to invite all supporters out to the Galt Lions Hall on Feb. 22 for our pancake breakfast from 6:30 to 8 o’clock.

Toxins Are Down In Fescue Forage Winter feeding of forage to beef herds doesn’t rank high as a favored job for herd owners. But there’s a bright side to feeding fescue, whether in hay or grass. Fescue toxins are down. “This is the best fescue will be, now until pastures green up again,� says Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist. Most fescue forage contains a toxin that restricts blood circulation in cattle. That creates harm in many ways, including low gains, low conception, and frozen feet and ears. Hay cut for baling starts losing toxins as it cures in the field. After hay is baled and stored for winter, toxins continue to drop. If toxic tall fescue was stockpiled in pastures and saved for winter grazing, that loses toxins as well. Increasingly, farmers manage fall fes-
cue grass to save it for winter grazing. Fescue, unlike many grasses, remains edible in freezing weather. By January both hay and grass hold their lowest levels of toxic alkaloids that cause problems. Grass provides better nutrients than hay. More farmers using rotational grazing use fall stockpiling. Toxins are highest in the spring growth because of the reproductive stage. Stems and seed contain high levels of alkaloids. In fall, the fescue grows only leaves, no seed stems. Leaves store the toxin. Winter-stockpiled fescue responds well to rotational grazing. In that system, large pastures are divided into smaller paddocks. Cattle move to the next ungrazed grass as the feed runs out in a paddock. In the non-growth season,
there is no need to install a back fence. The cattle move forward to fresh grass. MU grazing schools teach management-intensive grazing (MIG). Rates of gain on MIG paddocks run about one-third more. Less grass is wasted. MU schools start again in the spring. Toxic tall fescue, Kentucky 31, is the most-used grass in Missouri. Now, new plantings can be made with novel endophyte varieties. Seed companies have replaced toxic endophyte, a fungus, with a new natural nontoxic fungus. Novel endophyte fescue has advantages throughout the year, in grass or hay. Farmers learned many workarounds and tricks of grazing toxic fescue to reduce harm. What farmers and MU researchers learned about fescue now provides lessons in grazing schools. A new set of schools was developed for teaching all across the Fescue Belt, reaching from Missouri to the Carolinas and Georgia. Schools in six states
will be held in March. The Missouri school, March 18, is at MU Southwest Research Center, Mount Vernon. At the school farmers will see side-by-side plots of the new varieties. Schools in other states are shown at www.grasslandrenewal.org/education.ht m (opens in new window). A program to discuss Missouri’s fence law will be held on Thursday, Feb. 21 in Trenton.

Winter meetings are a major part of MU Extension events for farmers. This year, meetings collided with winter. For 10 years winters seemed to get warmer, I don’t recall many winter meetings being cancelled. It’s happening now. A ReproGene meeting in Southwest Missouri was called off in a storm advisory for deep cold and ice. The ReproGene meetings by MU animal science extension teach new protocols for breeding cows artificially. The “Gene� addition tells how genomic testing improves breeding matchups. This comes from basic research at the MU Thompson Farm, Spickard, where all females in the beef herd are DNA tested. Taking a sample of blood or a small piece of ear reveals the DNA of a calf. Genes tell lifetime potential. Amazing progress has brought improved quality. Quality heifers improve calving ease. Coming with that are genes for better carcass quality. Easier calving cuts death losses. Improved carcasses bring more steers that grade Prime at the packing plant. High grades bring premium prices. All of that means higher profits for Missouri cattle producers. There are large numbers of high quality cattle in Missouri. We lead both ways. Producers slowly expand use of ShowMe-Select protocols that bring these benefits. Lots more producers must adopt progressive ways. As rural economies get a bit shakier, getting returns by investing in science helps our economy. The Show-Me-Select heifer sales are one way to learn. There will be spring sales, which are educational events. Also, more ReproGene meetings will be held. More veterinarians educate their clients on SMS heifer protocols. MU, through extension, provides lots of classroom teaching off campus. Farmers, whether learning crops or livestock, can approach winter meetings much as on-campus students go to class. Students go to learn. I am

seeing this more often, especially in young farmers at meetings. They come with their blank journal notebooks. Educational research shows that taking notes improves learning. The act of actively listening and taking notes helps learning. Research shows that learning is less without the physical participation of writing. People who take notes retain more in their minds. The notes provide for follow-up learning. Reviewing notes aids learning. Going to meetings should be seen less social and more learning event. Here’s a tip for better learning, Get close. Move up to see and hear better. Who has the worst hearing? Farmers rank high. An audiologist from the VA Hospital spoke at an adult forum. She said farmers test worst in hearing just behind artillerymen. Farmers spend years on loud equipment without ear muffs. As a reporter long ago, I found getting closer helps to see slides and hear speakers. At the MU crops conference in December, I noted how back rows filled first. You’d have thought it was Church. Empty chairs abound up front around other press people. They know to get close. A story in the New York Times this week urged learners to draw pictures in their notebooks. Visuals stay in mind longer than words. As extension teachers we could do better. Words on slides should be fewer and bigger. Slides are visual aids, not lecture notes. Take home handouts aid learning. Those shouldn’t stop note taking however. Tell me what you like and hate about winter meetings. Your ideas help. Send notes to duanedailey7@gmail.com. Also, send comments on weather change. The e-mail address this week should reach me. I received responses at both extremes on global weather change. It’s even an issue for candidates. One wants to cut cow farts. I’ve known cows forever and never heard one fart. Dogs, horses and grandpas, yes. Let’s not get rid of them.

3-4 to accept the calendar with this recommendation, with those voting no expressing their concern about paying individuals when classes were not in session. It was noted that of the 12 days missed by the district thus far this year, those same individuals will be paid nine of those days because they are being made up. Under the calendar scenario for next year, the 58 hours of weather days built in would not be made up. David Whitaker said he would rather see non-certified staff being paid for the extra five minutes a day that Rissler staff will be required to stay, which Ockenfels noted would add up to two days. When building principal were asked their opinion, TMS Principal Daniel Gott said he felt the district had many “loyal and dedicated� non-certified staff and that paying for the days off would be a way to assure those individuals remained part of the school district staff. There was also a motion made to accept the calendar as presented, with the time extension and staff pay included, however, that motion died for a lack of a second. The board set a special meeting for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25 to hear a proposal from the Salary and Welfare Committee regarding certified salaries for the 2019-20 school year. The committee requested the meeting as members have not had time to meet with school board representatives about their proposal, which is customary prior to the proposal being presented to the full board. By holding the special meeting, the board will be able to vote on the proposal at its March meeting.

Michael Witten of Trenton, center, was named the Iowa Auctioneer Association’s “Rookie Champion� during competition held during the IAA annual convention in Des Moines. Witten was one of six auctioneers competing for the title, which included a real auction with registered bidders. Competitors, who had to be within the first three years in the auction profession, were judged based on conduct of the sale, bid spotting abilities, voice quality, clarity and rhythm of the auction chant and professional dress attire. Witten has been in the auction business for one year and has his own company, MW Auctions, as well as being contracted by other auctioneers and auction houses. He graduated from the Missouri Auction School in January of 2018 and from the Professional Ringmen’s School in September of 2018 and is a member of the IAA, the Missouri Professional Auctioneers Association and the National Auctioneers Association. Also pictured are the 2015 international auctioneer champion Peter Gehres of Hilliard, OH, left, and the 2011 international auctioneer champion Joseph Mast of Millerburg, OH, right.
approved on a 7-0 vote while Desktop Publishing was approved on a 4-3 vote. Spanish IV includes designation of students with the “Seal of  Biliteracy� and requires scoring advanced or proficient as well as completion of a portfolio, a service project and participation in the Modern Language Day Festival at Missouri Western. The main focus of Desktop Publishing is putting together the yearbook, which includes design, layout, graphics, photography, editing, copywriting and sales. It was noted the yearbook has won several national awards in the past five years. Voting in favor of Desktop Publishing as a weighted class were Doug Franklin, Cliff Roeder, Brandon Gibler and Leeper. Opposed were Dorothy Hanes, Marci Cutsinger and Whitaker. Approval was given to a change in staffing at the preschool level next year, allowing one of the preschool teachers to serve as a behavior coach/teacher for a half day. There are currently five preschool teachers who teach halfday classes in both the morning and afternoon. Under the new proposal, one of the teachers would only have a morning preschool class, then be available in the afternoon to work with students who have behavioral issues. Director of Special Services Tara Hoffman noted that the district would still be able to serve the preschool needs as well as providing support to those students in need of extra behavioral attention. Superintendent Dan Wiebers pesented results from the district’s 2018-19 Annual Performance Report, which showed Trenton receiving 113.4 points out of 120 points possible (94.5 percent). The district was at or above its rating last year in four of the five APR standards - college and career readiness, attendance and graduation rate, receiving
a 100 percent rating; and subgroup achievement (academic achievement of students receiving free and reduced lunches, special education students and minorities), where the district scored 87 percent. Academic achievement, where the district fell below last year’s rating, was at 86.8 percent. English/Language Arts and Math were the two areas evaluated in the academic achievement portion of the report. Wiebers noted that new standards were implemented by the state this year and that many districts saw their academic achievement ratings drop. He said the district is already taking steps to address improvements in that area, including implementation in classroom lessons and assessment. He congratulated those who were involved in Trenton’s efforts regarding college and career readiness, attendance and the math teachers who helped Trenton receive 16 of 16 points in the area of academic achievement. In other business, the board: • reviewed current policies regarding weapons in school, • heard from Activities Director Wes Croy about how the district determines participation in activities when school is not in session. • was presented with the vocational report by THS Principal Ron Franklin, who said 270 high school students are enrolled in various vocational programs (ag, business, FACS and vo-tech) this year. During the executive session, the board accepted the resignation of long-time teachers Tim and Davina Gilham, who are leaving the district to go to Maryville. Tim is the instrumental music instructor and Davina is a science instructor at the high school. Approved as substitute teachers were Michael Hayden and Kirbie Crouse.

hold without piles of junk and two rented storerooms, then I want to give our marriage a shot. But if experts say hoarding is incurable, then I'm done with this marriage. If her shopping and her stuff are more important than I am, then I'm done with the marriage. -Husband of a Hoarder Dear Husband of a Hoarder: In short, the answer to your question is yes, hoarding can be "cured" -- or at least reduced -- but it is going to take some effort on your part, as well. Your wife's hoarding is less about the accumulation of things and more about an emotional meaning that they give her. Before you throw in the towel and say goodbye to your "dear wife" (that wording leads me to believe that you do care deeply about her), there are some clear action steps you can take. Try to help her focus on the underlying needs that are not being met and leading her to hoard. You might be surprised at how you can help her fill some of those needs. Tell her that though you are annoyed with the hoarding, there is so much more to her than this one

The tofu trade war
For American soybean farmers, the trade war has been particularly agonizing. When the United States started imposing taxes on Chinese imports last year, Beijing lashed back with retaliatory tariffs — and focused on soybean growers. No coincidence: Farmers disproportionately support President Donald Trump; and China was by far the biggest foreign consumer of American soybeans, devouring nearly 60 percent of U.S. exports of the nutritious legumes. The Chinese tariffs have taken a toll: In the first 10 months of 2018, U.S. soybean
exports to China skidded to 8.2 million metric tons from 21.4 million metric tons a year earlier — a 62 percent freefall, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says. The backlog of unsold soybeans also pushed down U.S. prices, causing more pain. The USDA has rolled out $11 billion in aid to farmers to cushion the blow. And Trump announced last month that Beijing had agreed to buy 5 million metric tons of the beans — a goodwill gesture as the two countries try to bridge their differences. But farmers worry they’ve permanently lost their advantage in the vast Chinese market.

Dear Annie: Can hoarding be cured? If not, I've reached the end of my rope. My dear wife of more than 30 years, who does not work outside the home, has filled up our attic, two rented storage spaces and one bedroom with so much useless stuff that you cannot walk into any of them. Our own bedroom has stacks of papers, books and clothes all around. And now she has started to fill yet another bedroom with stuff. She shops every day -- online and on TV in the morning and then in stores in the afternoon. I don't even want to think about how much money she has spent on all this stuff. And she won't give away or throw away anything. I can't handle it any longer. The clutter is unbearable. When I ask her how we could reduce it, she shrieks back at me with excuses about how she has had such a hard day and she can't deal with it because of other things she is thinking about or doing. She literally yells at me. So it comes to this. If there is any way to help her and help us get back to a normal house-

hurdle she has to cross. Build up her self-esteem. You feel that her shopping and stuff are more important than you, while the reality is that she feels a void within herself that she is trying to fill with stuff -- a void that can be filled, at least partially, with your love and support. Try to encourage small victories. Perhaps she cleans out one closet. Really praise her for that. In addition, try to give your wife a feeling of control. Ask her how you could help in the decluttering process as a partner. The last and probably most important point is to seek professional help together. Your wife is not alone in this. Therapy has been known to really help marriages in which hoarding is an issue. You could also try reading a book by Marie Kondo, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing." Sometimes, focusing on the benefits of fixing a problem serves as great motivation to take the steps necessary to solve the problem. In other words, living in a clean, uncluttered house improves people's overall joy and happiness.

Make Fruits and Vegetables Part of Your Weight Loss Plan Healthy eating is about eating smart, replacing unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. This does not involve making perfect choices all the time; rather it's about attempting to make good choices more often than poor ones. Fruits and vegetables are part of a well-balanced and healthy eating plan. Think about how you can adjust the portions on your plate to get more of what you need without too many calories. The American Heart Association recommends filling at least half your plate with fruits and veggies in order to make it to the recommended 4 ½ cups of each per day. Your grocery shopping cart should look the same proportionally as the plate. When you think you're finished shopping, do a quick eye check to make sure it's filled with about 50% produce. The good news is that all produce counts, which means canned, fresh and frozen varieties can help you reach your goal. It's true that fruits and vegetables are lower in calories than many other foods, but they do contain some calories. If you start eating fruits and vegetables in addition to what you usually eat, you are adding calories and may gain weight. The key is substitution. Eat fruits and vegetables instead of some other higher-calorie food. It’s good to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet for a variety of health benefits, including to lose weight. Fruits and vegetables contain many essential nutrients for health. They also have few calories, plenty of fiber, and plant sterols that have been proven effective against heart disease. The best way to get all the various nutrients is to eat fruits and vegetables of many different colors.
