Soap Box Derby Drew Big Crowds Editor’s Note: Persons who have a memory to share about any topic related to Trenton and the surrounding area are asked to do so by e-mailing the Republican-Times newspaper at rtimes@lyn.net. Stories should include the writer’s name, address and telephone number. Stories are to be submitted by e-mail and will appear periodically in the newspaper. by Loma Hurst Does anyone remember the Soap Box Derby held in Trenton? The Soap Box Derby was a special summer event held in the late 1950s for boys aged 11 to 15. It was organized by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and sponsored locally by Nisbeth-Seidel Chevrolet Company, the Trenton Republican-Times and KTTN. Many of the employees of these sponsors and members of the Junior Chamber worked nights at Nisbeth-Seidel to help the boys with their cars or to check their progress. The wheels and axles were furnished as everything had to be the same nationwide. The boys designed and built the car according to certain specifications provided by the National Soap Box Derby Organization. The total weight of the car and boy could not be over 250 pounds. Each boy had to have
a sponsor to help with the expenses of the materials. Trenton was the smallest town in the nation to hold a Soap Box Derby. Only two other cities in Missouri, Columbia and Kansas City, had these races. The first race was held in 1957 on old Highway 65 (now Oklahoma Avenue), starting at a point near where the First Baptist Church is now and ending at 17th Street. This was really something new in town. The winner was James Coffman, son of Irene Coffman. Several boys received prizes for different parts of the car, design, brakes and others. The winner was given very nice prizes from the local organization and a very impressive plaque and other prizes from the National Soap Box Derby group. The race in 1958 was held on Seventh Street, from Grundy Street to the courthouse. Gary Hurst, son of H.P. and Loma Hurst, was the winner. The next two years, the race was held on Ninth Street from the Adams Apartments building to Kitty Street. There were as many as 42 cars built and raced by the boys some years. The number of cars increased and so did the crowd who came to watch and cheer the drivers. It was reported that over 3,000 persons lined the streets in 1959 to watch the race.

The 1959 Trenton Soap Box Derby featured a parade of cars, which traveled from North Central Missouri College on Main Street to the Adams Park Apartments on Ninth Street, where the race was held.
And then there was always the “Oil Can Derby” that raced before the boys started. The cars were made out of an old oil barrel and the wheels and parts of the former winning Soap Box Derby cars. The drivers were some of the men who had helped the boys build their cars. That race was always cause for a lot of yelling and screaming. The winner in 1959 was Tom Duncan, son of W.T. and Judy Duncan. Some of the other boys who built cars were Danny Spencer, Daryl Spencer, Ronald Trump, Allan Seidel, Danny

approximately 90 percent of the pending abuse claims against the BSA relate to incidents that occurred more than 30 years. “The safety of the kids in our programs is our top priority,” Franks said. “Over the years we have developed the strongest expert-informed protection policies which have been adopted by many youth -serving organizations; from mandatory youth protection training like twodeep leadership, no one-on-one interaction between youth and adults and reporting of any suspected abuse is mandatory.” Franks said that scouting in the Pony Express Council, which includes northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas, will continue to serve youth, families and our communities for many years to come.

Those listed on the Republican ballot include Donald J. Trump, Bob Ely, Bill Weld, Joe Walsh and Matthew John Matern. On the Democrat ballot,
Prichett and Jim and Ronnie Hurst. A lot of the boys in the area built cars. That year they had a parade. They put all the cars and drivers on trailers or flatbed trucks and had the Trenton High School Band, the former winners and some other entries lined up at North Central Missouri College, with the parade heading to the Adams building, where the race was going to start. Jerry Wilson won the race in 1960, which was the last race held in Trenton.

Cha ange es For Vo oters Voters in the Trenton R-9 and Spickard R-2 school districts who vote at the Galt Baptist Church will be voting absentee for the April 7 Election. Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard said there are 14 registered voters who live in the R-2 School District and nine registered voters who live in the R-9 School District who would cast their votes in that precinct for school board positions. Since that would be the only issue on the ballot in that precinct, she has elected to close that polling site for the April election and have all voters cast absentee ballots. They can vote absentee through the mail, at the courthouse beginning this week or on election day in the clerk’s office at the courthouse if they wish. Absentee voting for the April election will get under way this week. Those voters affected by the change should have received a letter and if there are any questions they may contact Mrs. Spickard’s office at 359-4040, ext. 4. The poll will be open for the March 10 Presidential Primary Election.

Smithfield Foods, Inc. and Roeslein Alternative Energy recently announced an additional $45 million investment in their Monarch Bioenergy joint venture, which captures methane from hog manure to produce renewable natural gas in Missouri. According to a new release from Smithfield, the additional investment will enable the continued implementation of “manure-to-energy” projects on Smithfield’s farms, resulting in RNG generation across 85 percent of the company’s hog finishing spaces in the state. This activity builds upon the “manure-to-energy” projects currently in operation across five Smithfield farms in northern Missouri and puts the company one step closer to equipping nearly all its finishing spaces in the state with the technology to produce RNG. The continued progress underscores Smithfield's industryleading commitment to sustainability, and is key to achieving the company’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2025. “Smithfield and RAE have been innovating ‘manure-toenergy’ technology together in Missouri since 2014,” said Kraig Westerbeek, senior director of Smithfield Renewables and hog production environmental affairs for Smithfield Foods. “Our companies have a longstanding commitment to renewable energy and we’re thrilled to be one step closer to having nearly all our Missouri finishing farms engaged in producing RNG.” The “manure-to-energy” projects allow Monarch Bioenergy to leverage the infrastructure of Smithfield’s farms to capture methane emissions from hog farms and convert them into pipelinequality natural gas, which will be distributed to RNG markets across the country. “The scale of Smithfield’s operations and our expertise in renewable energy production have created the ideal partnership to have a tangible impact on carbon emissions,” said Rudi Roeslein, president of RAE. “The latest phase of Monarch Bioenergy demonstrates our shared commitment to creating a sustainable future for families with new sources of renewable energy.” Monarch Bioenergy is part of Smithfield Renewables, Smithfield’s platform to unify and accelerate its carbon reduction and renewable energy efforts. The investment compliments numerous initiatives Smithfield is implementing across the country, including additional renewable natural gas projects in North Carolina, Utah and Virginia.

SPORTS CLASS 1 MSHSAA WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
SHOWING THEIR MEDAL(S) McAtee, Trump And Johnson Bring Home State Medals For THS
For years, the wrestling program at Trenton High School was the standard bearer for Bulldog athletics. After the Class 1 MSHSAA Wrestling Championships in Columbia over the weekend, things may be trending back in that direction. Trenton took five wrestlers to state and returned with three medals and an 11th-place spot in the final team standings. The finish represented a return to what Trenton expects its program to do and could very well be looked back on one day as the jumping off point for the next great wave of wrestling success for the Bulldogs. Trenton’s Hunter McAtee, a 106pound freshman, paced the Bulldogs at state with a third-place medal. Senior 182-pounder Mark Trump and sophomore 220-pounder Caleb Johnson backed that medal, each netting fifth-place hardware in their respective brackets. Gavin Chambers a freshman at 113, and Coleman Griffin a freshman at 138, also competed for the Bulldogs at the event. “Our goal for this state tournament was to place in the top 10 and we were there until Father Tolton won a couple of finals matches to bump us to 11th,” Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “Our kids showed so much heart on the wrestling mat. I’m just so proud of the effort our boys put into this tournament and am very excited for the future.” McAtee dominated his third-place match with Lexington’s Josh Payne on Saturday. After securing a takedown and a nearfall in the first period, the Trenton freshman opened the second period on the bottom, where he quickly gained a reversal and another nearfall. After allowing an escape, McAtee picked up another takedown to go ahead 11-1. This time, however, McAtee was able to convert the takedown into a pin with 10 seconds left in the period to lay claim to the thirdplace medal. McAtee reached farther into the championship bracket than any other Trenton wrestler, reaching the semifinals with a pair of wins by fall to

guarantee himself a medal. Eventual state champion Alexander Rallo of Whitfield handed McAtee his first tournament loss, doing so with a 120 major decision in the semifinals. McAtee bounced back by pinning Albany’s Gavin Shoush in the first period to place himself in the thirdplace match against Payne. The 4-1 showing at the tournament gave McAtee a final record of 44-5 for his freshman season. “Hunter came in with his sights on a medal and he never lost track of that goal,” Bacon said. Trump (182) lost just two matches at the state tournament and they both came on decisions by a combined four points. The lone senior Bulldog at the tournament was dealt an 8-5 decision loss by Lawson’s Cade Kilingsworth in the opening round on Thursday. That forced Trump into needing three wins in the consolation bracket to earn a medal. With his back against the wall Trump delivered. He scored a win by fall in the consolation bracket’s opening round and then outdueled Christ-
ian’s Blake Heuer for a 5-3 decision win. That put Trump in the bubble round, where he scored a win by fall to clench a state medal – the first of his career. Trump was defeated by a 3-2 decision against Holden’s Travis Stout in the consolation semifinals, but he ended his wrestling career at Trenton on a high note, defeating Lathrop’s Brendon Arthur in sudden victory overtime, 7-3. Trump used a takedown and nearfall in the bonus period to secure the win. “Mark knew it was his last year to get a medal after falling short the previous two years,” Bacon said. “He went down and really put together some great matches. After losing his very first match, he showed tons of heart coming all the way back through the backside to the medal rounds. Mark was a three-time state qualifier and a fifth-place medalist. We will miss Mark next year.” The victory in the fifth-place match gave Trump a final record of 41-9 for the season and a 123-73 record for his career at Trenton.

Caleb Johnson locks up with Lawson’s Wyatt Becker in the 220-pound consolation semifinals at Mizzou Arena on Saturday. Johnson placed fifth in the bracket to earn a state medal in his first trip to the MSHSAA Wrestling Championships.
Like Trump, Johnson (220) lost just two matches at state and both were via close decisions. In the two losses combined, Johnson was outscored by just three points. He got a thrilling 119 decision win in the opening round on Thursday over Central New Madrid’s Quazavion Jackson – a match Johnson won with a takedown with just 12 seconds left in a tied match. After that, however, Johnson lost in the quarterfinals to Lathrop’s Quinton Wolfe by a 4-3 decision. Johnson battled back, though, getting a takedown and pin with two seconds left in the consolation second round to advance to the bubble round. There, he guaranteed himself a medal with a pin of Marceline’s Nathan Cupp. After losing by a 3-1 decision to Lawson’s Wyatt Becker, Johnson went out with a win, scoring a 6-3 decision over Lathrop’s Wolfe to avenge his quarterfinal loss. Johnson got an escape in the second period and a takedown. He picked up another takedown in the third period to ice the win. “Caleb had a tournament of a life-
time with lots of last period wins and avenged losses from earlier in the season,” Bacon said. “He just wrestled so smart throughout the tournament and really found his style.” With his 4-2 showing, Johnson finished the season with a 32-14 record. Gavin Chambers (113) got a taste of state tournament success, scoring a third-period pin in the opening round. Eventual state champion Evan Binder of Whitfield would send Chambers to the consolation bracket with a quick pin in the quarterfinals, however. There, Chambers advanced to the bubble round with a win by a secondperiod pin. His hopes of a state medal ended in the consolation quarterfinals, however, as he was pinned by MidBuchanan’s Wyatt Cunningham in the first period. Chambers finished the year with a 24-22 overall record. “Gavin is a kid who just started peaking like crazy at the district tournament and just kept it rolling all the way through the state tournament,” Bacon said. “To make it to the bubble match as a freshman is a huge accomplishment and I’m super proud of him.” Coleman Griffin went 0-2 at state, getting pinned by Xavier Smith of Hancock in the opening round and losing by fall to Draven Wright of Gallatin in the consolation bracket. The two losses eliminated Griffin, who finished the season with a 27-18 record. “Coleman lost his first two matches which eliminated him from the tournament,” Bacon said. “I think he was one of the better wrestlers in the bracket but was maybe overwhelmed by the atmosphere.” Much more important than the Bulldogs’ standing after the tournament was how they got there. Trenton just missed a top-10 finish at state, doing so with just five wrestlers and only four scoring points. The makeup of the team Trenton took to Columbia represents a lot to look forward to. With three freshmen and a sophomore returning next season, Trump is the lone state qualifier whose career closed this weekend. Going back to districts, Trenton had five wrestlers just miss a trip to state with losses in the bubble round. Only one of those five, Noah Lewis, was a senior. Kaden Owen (145), Brice Gibler (132), Sam Gibson (170) and Allen Airey (195) will all return next season, finishing one win short of going to state this year.

Pirates Come Out On Fire, Win Big Trenton Girls North Central’s Defense Lights Out In Victory NCMC MEN 93 METROPOLITAN MEN 70 NCMC MEN 88 ST. LOUIS MEN 66 The North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team was not happy with its performance on Tuesday at Iowa Western - a game the Pirates lost 102-91. Sure, it was against a Division I opponent. Sure, it was on the road. But, giving up 100-plus points stuck with North Central. With a renewed focus on the defensive end, the Pirates clamped down and rolled to a 93-70 Region 16 victory over Metropolitan Community College on Thursday night at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton. The Pirates’ defense barely let the visiting Wolves breath over the first 10 minutes of the game, allowing just four points over the stretch. Meanwhile, on the offensive end, North Central racked up a slew of offensive rebounds

leading to second- and thirdchance points. At the 10minute mark of the first half, North Central led 23-4. The game for all intents and purposes, was essentially over. “I loved our guys’ intensity and mindset from the start of pregame warmups to the final buzzer,” North Central coach Jeremy Esry said. “I thought they did a great job of being
locked in, especially on the defensive side. Those first 10 minutes were special. They made (Metropolitan) work for every shot and made them uncomfortable in everything that they did on the offensive end.” The Pirates led 47-23 at halftime and the outcome was never in doubt in the second half as the Pirates picked up the 23-point victory.
Metropolitan bounced back offensively somewhat in the second half. The Wolves would close the contest with a 37.5 field goal percentage, but hit just 3-of-22 attempts from beyond the arc and the Pirates contested nearly every shot the whole way. For North Central, Atavian Butler led the charge offensively with 17 points. Marty Jackson had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots while Michael Horton finished with 15 points and Quinan Rieves added 14 points and seven rebounds. Jeramy Shaw and Jackson Andrews each had nine points. vs. ST. LOUIS North Central closed out the regular season by defeating St. Louis Community College 8866 on the road on Saturday. Jackson had 16 points to lead North Central and Butler finished with 14 points and four assists. TJ Babikir had 10 points, Rieves had nine points and nine rebounds and Damien Loyd scored nine points as well. The Pirates finished the regular season with a 25-3 overall record. They will play in the Region 16 championship game on Saturday at 8 p.m. in Jefferson City.
North Central Women Prevail In Fourth them all. The Pirates trailed 55-50 entering the climactic frame. North Central had held a 27-14 lead 10 minutes into the contest, but Metropolitan generally controlled the pace of the game from that point on. The Wolves outscored the Pirates 41-23 in the second and third quarters combined to put North Central in the five point hole entering the game’s stretch run. There, however, the Pirates turned the tide, getting big play after big play to rally back and regain their momentum. “We had been in a match-up zone during the third quarter and decided to go back to (man-to-man defense),” Pirates’ coach Jenni Croy said. “We put Lily on (Metropolitan’s) leading scorer and she was able to hold her to one point in that quarter. Kennedie also had a huge ‘and 1’ play which resulted in their other main scorer fouling out. We finished our free throws when we needed to down the stretch. Our girls played with a lot of grit. They knew the situation and really focused and got the job done in the fourth.”

Offense Missing In Regular-Season Closing Game HAMILTON GIRLS 34 TRENTON GIRLS 26
Entering district play, the Trenton High School girls basketball team will hang its hat on its defense. Defense, after all, is Trenton’s strong suit. That was evident on Friday when the Bulldogs closed out the regular season against the Hamilton Hornets in Trenton. Though the end result was a 34-26 loss, Trenton displayed a defense capable of carrying it through some tough moments that may lay ahead. “If we can defend like that, we will be tough to beat at districts,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. Trenton had a right to be pleased with itself in spite of the defeat. Hamilton was a team entering the contest with an 18-4 overall mark on the season. In the two teams’ lone previous match-up, Hamilton defeated Trenton 64-51 for the Lawson Tournament championship. By drastically cutting the score from that loss, Trenton gave itself a shot. Twice in the fourth quarter Trenton possessed the basketball with a chance to tie the contest, trailing by just three points. Hamilton, after jumping out to a 16-9 first quarter lead, never tallied double-digits in a single quarter again. The Hornets were limited to three points in the second
quarter, nine in the third and six in the fourth. “Last time (we played Hamilton) they scored 64 on us, so we really wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor – which we did,” Cool said. “I’m really proud of our girls’ effort. I think (Hamilton) also scored 16 in the first quarter and we held them to 18 the rest of the game. So I was proud of our effort defensively; just offensively we could never get it going.” Offensively, Trenton did not have enough. Only three players scored in the contest for the Bulldogs. With opportunities to tie or draw within a single possession in the fourth quarter Trenton continually came up empty. As a result, Trenton was forced to foul and the Hornets stretched the final margin to eight points. “I don’t feel like we sprinted through our cuts as hard as we normally should,” Cool said. “Shots didn’t go in, but ultimately that is a really good Hamilton team who can guard really well.” Maci Moore had 14 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. Lexi Whitaker followed with nine points, three assists and three steals and McKayla Blackburn added three points to round out Trenton’s total. With the loss, Trenton dropped to 13-11 overall on the season. The Bulldogs are the two seed at this week’s Class 3, District 14 Tournament in Chillicothe. Trenton opened play in the tournament on Monday night, facing seventhseeded Richmond in the opening round.

HAMILTON BOYS 62 TRENTON BOYS 55
The Trenton High School boys basketball team had the Hamilton Hornets right where they wanted them - until they didn’t. Trenton let a nine-point second half lead slip away on Friday, falling 62-55 to Hamilton to close the regular-season. Trenton was led by 14 points from Royce Jackson, but the Bulldogs struggled with rebounding when the man in the middle went to the bench in foul trouble, a key factor in Hamilton’s rally. Brycin Loyd added 12 points for Trenton on four three-pointers and Chase Otto and Jaren Whitney finished with 11 points each. Four points from Gavin Roeder and three from Kayden Spencer rounded out the Trenton total. With the loss, Trenton fell to 4-20 overall. The Bulldogs are at top-seeded Chillicothe on Tuesday in first-round district action.
North Central was paced by Osborn who had 24 points. Rounkles added 18 points, eight assists and six steals and Kieffer finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. Brittney McKay had 11 points and Da’Briauna Bables scored six points, pulled down nine rebounds and swatted three shots in the win. vs. ST. LOUIS North Central was defeated on Saturday, falling 79-67 on the road to St. Louis. The Pirates were led by 18 points and four steals from Rounkles and 13 points from Kieffer. Dymeria Guillory had 10 points and eight rebounds and Bables and Osborn each scored eight points with Osborn adding eight boards and four assists. North Central closes the regular season with a 19-9 overall mark. At 2-2 in Region 16 play, they will be the second seed in the postseason tournament. North Central faces Metropolitan at 8 p.m. on Thursday in Jefferson City, with the winner going on to face St. Louis for the championship on Saturday at 4 p.m.

FINDING SOLUTIONS TO STOP CRIME IN MISSOURI In recent years, we have seen violent crimes become more prevalent in the metropolitan areas of Missouri, namely St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield. As a result, citizens have started to ask for help from state lawmakers. Now, the Legislature is answering the call, albeit with what I believe is attention to the real criminals and not a “one size fits all” approach. In my opinion, Senate Bill 600 is designed to keep dangerous felons off our streets. The bill adds to the definition of "dangerous felony" the offense of armed criminal action, the offense of conspiracy to commit an offense and the offense of vehicle hijacking when punished as a Class A felony. Senate Bill 600 also seeks to end probation for serious crimes, including second-degree murder. We have to enforce the law evenly, and not use any excuses to keep someone from paying the necessary penalty for crimes committed. Clearly defin-
ing those offenses that need higher levels of punishment is one way toward this goal. This measure also addresses gang violence, something that was mentioned numerous times during an interim committee last year on public safety. I believe the goal of this legislation is to crack down on the worst offenders, without intruding on the rights of those who do not break the law. Senate Bill 600 is making its way through the Missouri Senate, and still has many steps to take before it could be delivered to the governor. I hope my colleagues will give the bill serious consideration as we move through the 2020 legislative session. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.
State Defends Marijuana Licensing Decisions By Emily Wolf Missouri News Network A simple question set the tone for a hearing on medical marijuana licensing on Wednesday, Feb. 19: “How many lawsuits will it take for you to realize your department has made mistakes?” Rep. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, pressed for an estimate on the number of lawsuits the Department of Health and Senior Services anticipated. Richard Moore, general counsel for DHSS, said he expects over 600 lawsuits. As of Wednesday, 425 appeals had been filed with the Administrative Hearing Commission, the first step in the process. Applicants have five more days to file appeals. When Chappelle-Nadal asked how much the department was willing to pay for its mistakes, Lyndall Fraker, director of DHSS Section for Medical Marijuana, said he didn’t have an answer. After House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, DSpringfield, asked how much they anticipated spending on the legal processes, Moore said it was “certainly going to be millions of dollars, but I can’t tell you if it’ll be 2 million or 6 million.” The litigation would be paid for through licensing application fees, which are designated by law to go into a veterans fund. The lawsuits allege various issues with the licensing process. Some applicants allege they submitted identical answers on
facility applications but received different scores. Moore said it was possible for scoring differences to occur between different facility types, because different people scored the respective facility applications. Chappelle-Nadal asked if racial and gender diversity was taken into account when awarding a contract to the company overseeing the licensing process. Initially, Fraker said he didn’t believe so, but then he changed his answer and said he thought it was. He also confirmed that there are no people of color in his office. It was the second time Fraker addressed the committee in as many weeks. Another issue brought up in both hearings concerned Wise Health Solutions, which won the contract to score applications. Critics questioned whether some applicants gained an advantage through boot camps that one of the company’s owners hosted for potential applicants through Oaksterdam University. Fraker said the department was not aware of the boot camps before selecting Wise Health Solutions. Rep. Jered Taylor, R-Republic, asked if there was a prohibition on companies already involved in the medical marijuana industry, like Oaksterdam, from applying for the scoring contract. Fraker said something like that would have been mentioned on the conflict of interest portion of the application, but the boot camps were not
an issue if they were done before the company was awarded the contract. Once the company received the contract, Wise Health Solutions was prohibited from conducting boot camps. Taylor asked if Fraker would’ve been fine with Oaksterdam hosting boot camps in neighboring states, such as Kansas, Illinois and Oklahoma, if he knew about the practice. Fraker said he’d have to think about it. Moore said the company told the department it was not providing answers and advice to questions on the Missouri license applications. Multiple lawmakers asked why the department decided to go with a third party to score applications instead of doing the scoring in-house. Fraker said the department didn’t have enough staff or resources to handle the job. Rep. J. Eggleston, R-Maysville, said it perplexed him that the department cited a lack of resources as a reason for outsourcing when it had generated $18 million in licensing fees. Fraker said the money was designated for veterans, not for the department to use however it wanted, but avoiding the appearance of political bias was another reason to outsource the work. “A bigger factor is that we didn’t want there to be any remote chance that people thought we were giving licenses to people we knew, political connections, whatever,” Fraker said.
Court Hears Arguments Over Local Control Of CAFOs By Claire Colby Missouri News Network A Cole County hearing was the latest battleground last week in the debate between a patchwork of concerned Missourians and government agencies over the large farms known as concentrated animal feeding operations .
Attorney Stephen Jeffery represented the Cedar County Commission, the Cooper County Public Health Department, Fulton advocacy group Friends of Responsible Agriculture and several residents concerned about CAFOs in a hearing in Cole County Circuit Court on Feb. 19. At issue was
last year’s Senate Bill 391, which removed the ability of county health boards and commissions to impose local regulations on CAFOs in their counties. Jeffery argued that the bill was acting retroactively against existing regulations. The bill should apply only to
proposed new regulations and should not affect ordinances passed before Aug. 28 of last year, when SB 391 went into effect, he said. Justin Smith, assistant Missouri attorney general, represented Gov. Mike Parson, the Missouri Air Conservation Commission and the Missouri
Clean Water Commission. Smith argued that state laws preempt local ordinances and regulations, which meant the Cooper and Cedar county regulations would be invalid regardless of the date they were passed. Proponents of the bill argue that local regulations placed
unnecessary burdens on farms Those opposed to the bill worry it could limit the ability of local governments to respond to potential health or environmental risks related to CAFOs in their communities. This case started when Jeffery, who is representing the network of parties in favor of local regulation, sought a temporary restraining order against the bill in August. “Health boards need the ability to protect their citizens,” Melanie Hutton, Cooper County Health Department administrator, said after the hearing. “Just like coronavirus — you never know when things like that are going to spring up in your backyard,” she said “As a health board, you want the opportunity to respond and protect your citizens.” Cooper County’s health board passed its regulation Aug. 13, 2019, just before the bill went into effect Aug. 28 The regulation sets air and water quality standards for CAFOs and limits the installation of underground manure lagoons. “This regulation protects us,” said Fred Williams, who owns property near the proposed Tipton East CAFO in Cooper County. “It protects me and it protects my family.” Both sides agreed to a March 4 deadline to file a motion for summary judgment, outlining their ideal resolution to the case. After Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green issues a decision, whoever loses will likely appeal the case to the Missouri Supreme Court, Jefferey said.demand for meth,” Callahan said. Within the St. Louis Division, meth is most problematic in western Missouri and Kansas, while fentanyl and heroin are bigger concerns in St. Louis, Callahan said. The DEA said its seizures of meth rose by 127%, from 49,507 pounds (22,456 kilograms) to 112,146 pounds (50,869 kilograms), between fiscal years 2017 and 2019, and DEA meth-related arrests rose by nearly 20%. Authorities seized about 50,000 pounds (22,680 kilograms) at U.S.-Mexico border crossings from October through January — more than was seized for the entire 2017 fiscal year, the DEA said. St. Louis Division seizures rose 56% in just one year, from fiscal 2018 to fiscal 2019. republican-times.com republican-times.com

Curtis LeMay, the U.S. Air Force Marching Band and the celebrities. There were 162 boys in the parade in 1958. The Chevrolet Division of
General Motors was the sponsor of the activities in Akron. The Trenton boys stated the race track at Akron, which had three lanes, was really scary the first time they went down and it was a much bigger hill than they had in Trenton. I believe they had one practice run. Following the race, the boys and their parents were treated to a nice banquet in the big Goodyear building and were entertained by the celebrities. After the race in Akron, the cars were shipped home to the
sponsors and had to be stripped so no part of the winning car could be used for future cars. The Trenton boys were not winners at Akron, but they represented Trenton well. This was a great activity for the boys and parents at that time and something that kept the boys busy all summer. The car built by Ron Hurst has been given to the Grundy County Museum by the Hurst family, along with the race plaque received by Gary Hurst.

LOCAL Superintendent Gives Program
Trenton R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman presented the program at the Thursday, Feb. 20 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Diane Lowrey was the program chairman. Stegman is in his first year as superintendent of schools at Trenton, having spent 21 years as a superintendent in the Kansas school system. A graduate of Ft. Hays State University in Ft. Hays, KS, Stegman began his education career as an industrial arts teacher in the Burr Oak, KS School District, eventually becoming a principal. He was also principal at Stockton, KS and Satanta, KS, where he later became the superintendent. He was also a superintendent in the Washington, KS and Cimmaron, KS school districts. After retiring in Kansas, he and his wife, Marcie, move to Trenton to be closer to their children, who are in Lawrence, KS, Atchison, KS and Nebraska. Mrs. Stegman is an elementary teacher at Rissler School. He also talked about the construction project under way in the R-9 School District, in particular about the performing arts center. Contractors are currently setting the precast walls and beams of the building, which he anticipates will be ready for use by the school district in February 2021. Besides the arts center, renovation work is being done in the high school/middle school media room and the elementary school entryway as well as a new concession stand at C.F. Russell Stadium. During the business meeting, members were reminded to donate a new pair of shoes for the Rotary District Shoes for Orphan Soles project. Phil Hoffman is the program chairman for the Feb. 27 meeting.

to do, and I w was compelled to ask you. How w do I change? -Stuck in a Looop Dear Stucck in a Loop: There is nothinng mediocre about a life lived seeven years sober. That is someething to be celebrated. Andd helping other women get soober while staying sober yourself is heroic. While a therapist andd friends are an essential part off recovery, the person you neeed to consult is yourself. Cuut yourself some slack, and be kind to yourself. Be grateful forr all the wonderful things that havve been made possible by your sobriety. Tu Turn offff that critical voice in your head that is tellingg you they don't count, or they don't mean much, or if you weree really strong, you would move tto a strange environment. Nonnsense. Wherever yyou go, there you are. Thus, it doesn't matter if you move to another town or wait for this ggreat big moment when life willl not be mediocre anymore. It's about finding joy and pleasure iin the small victories of each daay. If there are tthings you want to try but are affraid to, try them anyway. Fear is "false evidence appearing reall."
Dearr Annie: My M biggest accomplishment in life is my recovery. I'm currrently seven years sober, and I have worked very hard to clear my history of self-destruction annd rebuild my life into what it iss today. I continue to attend reecovery meetings andd guide i id oother women through the recovvery process. But I am in a maaddening loop thinking of what tto do with my life. I came to this aarea to attend rehab and had noo intention to stay, yet here I am m eight years later. I have reacched and sustained stability inn my life, but my heart longs foor more. I am afraid I will neverr take the leap to make a change and, ultimately, get lost in regret of what could have been. I've consulted ttherapists, my sponsor, my familly, my friends, my co-workers, aand I believe they are sick of heearing about it. Before I got soberr, I was a risk taker in good andd bad ways. I was bold and bravve and moved on my own multiple times. It's as though I have llost the ability to create my own future. I continue to live a meddiocre-feeling life, and I fear I will never change. I just donn't know what

Dear Annie: "An Earful" wrote to you about her sister, who repeats herself in the process of explaining her "stress, problems and anxiety." She sounds just like my own sister. A wise, dear friend of mine once suggested that such people often repeat themselves because they don't feel heard, and that paraphrasing their words back to them -- without correction nor advice -- enables them to stop repeating themselves. It worked like a charm with my sister. After the second iteration (so I knew she felt she hadn't explained herself well enough), I would interrupt her, saying, "Hang on, hang on. I want to make sure I've understood what you're trying to say." Then I rephrase my genuine understanding of her words, together with adding, "and I think it makes you feel..." Then I shut up, not offfering any explicitly unasked-for advice. She happily either afffirms or adds to my understanding and then moves on. It doesn't stop the talking, but it does provide a more enriched two-way communication and prevents most of the repetition. -- Blessed Friend and Sister Dear Blessed: And how blessed she is to have such a friend and sister of you. This is excellent advice. Thanks for writing.

IBM in tthe cloud
IBM is pinning its future on cloud computing, a path blazed by y retiring CEO Ginni Rometty. Rometty des scribed IBM’s nascent cloud business as a priority when she took the helm in 2012. It’s grow wn to 27% of the company’s $77.1 billion annual rrevenue. But IBM has s been overshadowed by cloud leaders Amazo on and Microsoft. Its cloud business hasn’’t yet sparked enough of a transformation to pull the tech giant out of o a years-long reve enue decline. IBM’s cloud computing chief Arvind Krrishna will take on the CE EO role starting April 6.
IBM’s $21.2 billion cloud revenue for the 2019 fiscal year was up 11% from the previous year. At the same time, overall annual revenue dropped 3.1%, continuing a downward trajectory that was only briefly interrupted in 2018. The company says it is starting to see some “synergies” from last year ’s $34 billion acquisition of open-source software provider Red Hat — a risky bet intended to position IBM as a major cloud player. Wedbu edbush sh analyst Moshe Katri says s IBM needs to work faste er at “cannibalizing” its legacy businesses, especially y since customers now have cheaper IT-services optio ons.

Two pickup trucks were involved in a minor accident Thursday on 22nd Street, with one driver ticketed. According to Trenton Police Det. Jerry Smith’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a truck driven by Christopher J.
