The banquet had originally been scheduled for Friday, March 27 at the Ketcham Community Center, located on the North Central Missouri College campus. However, NCMC officials have announced they will not be holding in-person classes on campus through April 3 as well as looking at rescheduling other activities in which large groups would be gathering.

NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI COLLEGE
Takes Steps To Prevent Spread
The Grundy County Health Department has announced there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Grundy County. As of Saturday, March 14, there were five reported positive cases in Missouri, however, none of those cases are reported locally. President Donald Trump and Gov. Mike Parson, on Friday, March 13, declared a state of emergency, which makes funding available to help address the outbreak. In an effort to slow the spread of the virus, the department said that many local organizations have postponed or cancelled events that would draw large crowds. North Central Missouri College has halted in-person classes through April 3 (see story at the bottom of the page) and Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments has restricted visitors. The department said there is no vaccine for COVID-19 at this time. The best way for persons to protect themselves from contracting a respiratory illness such as COVID-19 is with common sense precautions, including: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
CITY OF SPICKARD
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available. If someone is sick, the department asks that the following steps be taken to prevent the spread of illness to others: • Stay home. • Cough or sneeze into an elbow or cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. The symptoms of COVID-19 are cough, fever and shortness of breath. Persons who have symptoms or believe they have been exposed are asked to stay home except to seek medical care. Persons should call ahead before going to the doctor so appropriate preparations can be made prior to arrival. The health department said the Center for See Health, Page 4
The Trenton Finance Committee has agreed to make changes in the proposed 202021 budget that would provide city employee salary increases. City Administrator Ron Urton said the committee, during a meeting on Wednesday, March 11, voted to increase the minimum base pay for the fire department to $12.50 per hour and increased the base pay for one of its law enforcement dispatchers to $12.50 per hour, which Urton said had been missed when minimum salaries were set last year. The committee then agreed to a 75-cent across-the-board increase for all city and utility employees as well as implementing a step-increment system for additional pay increases based on employee qualifications, which had been discussed by the council at a meeting on Monday, March 9. Urton said the increases would be based on such qualifications as training, certifications, college classes, etc. With the 75-cent acrossthe-board increase, Urton said the minimum base salary for all city employees would now be at least $13.25 an hour (some positions already have a higher base pay). The salary changes will be reviewed by the committee during a meeting at 9 a.m. on Friday, March 20 at city hall, during which time a final vote will be taken on the budget before sending it to the council. Urton said the committee hopes to have the budget vote at its March 23 meeting.
Water Concerns Addressed
Aldermen OK Balanced Budget The Spickard Board of Aldermen approved a balanced budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year when members met on Wednesday, March 11 at Spickard City Hall. The budget, approved on a 5-0 vote, shows income at $138,770 while expenditures were listed at $125,756, leaving the city with $13,014 of revenues over expenditures. Most of the city’s revenues will come from the collection of sewer, trash
and water fees. The biggest expenditure for the city will be payroll, repairs and maintenance, purchased water and electricity usage. City Clerk Amy Chapman reported the board heard from two residents concerning their water bill charges as well as a water leak. It was voted to charge both customers the water bill average, with the cost for any water usage after that amount being taken care of by the city due to a
water line break. The city will be seeking bids to hay the lagoon property and bids can be left at city hall. It was decided to get a dumpster from its trash hauler, Rapid Removal, for spring clean-up in April. The date of the spring clean-up will be announced once it has been determined. It was reported the February water loss was 6.7 percent. The next meeting of the board was set for 6 p.m. on Monday, April 13.
Campus Remains Open
Virus Concerns Send Local Students Online Although there are no known cases involving the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 on the campuses of North Central Missouri College, NCMC is taking preventative and proactive measures to minimize the risk of exposure and the spread of COVID-19 through the reduction in mass assembly on campus. The safety of students, faculty, staff
and families is of the utmost concern for NCMC. As part of a global effort to contain and minimize risk and exposure to the virus, NCMC is taking several preventative measures to join the efforts in protecting our region and communities. After spring break, which is being held this week (March 16-20), all inperson classes held on NCMC cam-
puses beginning March 23 will be moved to an alternative online instructional approach to limit possible exposure to constituents as a result of spring break travel. Students taking in-person courses will continue their work through Blackboard online learning, email, and other virtual communication tools through April 3. During this time, campuses will re-

and women’s golf seasons will also be delayed. In the statement, the NJCAA announced it is extending the hardship season completion ruling to 60 percent. Should teams cancel their season before that limit is reached, student-athletes will not be charged a year of eligibility. For the 2020-21 season, the NJCAA is also increasing its allowable number of Letters of Intent which will be vetted by the organization’s eligibility committee. “Our goal is to look after the safety and security of all involved, while also still providing a pathway to allow opportunities for our studentathletes and the ability to compete for a national
championship,� the statement read. “The NJCAA will continue to monitor and make adjustments as needed.� The announcement of the suspension of spring athletics came just days after the organization pushed back its Division I and II men’s and women’s basketball national tournaments. The North Central men’s basketball team advanced to the Division II National Tournament for the second-straight season. That event, held annually in Danville, IL, was originally scheduled to begin today (Tuesday). It has been postponed, however, and now has a tentative start date of Monday, April 20.
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (AP) — Chris Harris Jr. has been looking forward to this week for what seems like forever. "Oh yeah, I didn't get recruited in high school. I didn't have a lot of teams coming at me out of college. I didn't get drafted. Now, to have multiple teams hit me up, it definitely feels good," Harris said on the eve of the NFL's two-day legal tampering period that begins Monday. During this 48-hour period, teams can speak with free agents, discuss terms and agree verbally to a contract, which would become official with the start of the league's new year on Wednesday afternoon. Harris, who has topped $50 million in earnings since going undrafted out of the University of Kansas in 2011 -- when he signed with Denver for a $2,000 bonus -- is about to hit the open market for the first time in his nearly decade-long NFL career. "I've waited long enough," said Harris, who had begun to wonder if the league's calendar would be altered by the coronavirus crisis gripping the globe. “I wanted it to stay on schedule, but I could understand if they pushed it back with everything going on with the virus because the physicals are a very important part of the contract.� Harris rejected a three-year, $36 million offer to stay in Denver last fall but said at the end of the 2019 season that he was open to returning to the Broncos. However, that thinking changed when the Broncos acquired cornerback A.J. Bouye from Jacksonville earlier this month. "That door's probably
closed," said Harris, the last member of the "No-Fly Zone" secondary that was the backbone of the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 championship run. "They've already spent a lot. They've allocated all their money in the secondary to most of the guys on the team already." The Broncos recently placed a franchise tag worth $11.5 million on safety Justin Simmons and last year signed free agent defensive backs Kareem Jackson and Bryce Callahan. Harris, 30, said he's expecting several teams to make a play for his services despite his coming off his most trying season yet, one in which he didn't play the slot, his best position, and missed much of new coach Vic Fangio's first several months in Denver because of a contract stalemate. Now, his mind is clear. "I feel good, I really go. Just really got back to the basics," said Harris, who's been training in Dallas, where he lives in the offseason. "Last year was more mentally with me than physical. You don't plan for stuff to mess with you and sometimes it does and you don't realize it. "Looking back, the whole year wasn't good mentally for me," Harris said. "But I feel great, my family's doing great, I'm moving great, my mind's on a better space compared to last year. I'm excited about the new beginning." Harris, who saw his sevenyear streak of multiple interceptions end in 2019 when he picked off just one pass, said he's not demanding to play the slot in 2020, however. "Whatever teams want me to do, I'll do. That's what I've been telling them," Harris said. "But I prefer to play inside and outside, I prefer to play both, and safety, move me all over the field. There's no limits to where I play, whatever the game plan is, whatever the teams. "I feel good about where I'm going." Wherever that may be.

the league. It features a 17game regular season, higher salaries, increased roster sizes and larger pensions for current and former players. The deal, which runs through the 2030 season, was accepted by the 32 team owners last month. The NFL Players Association's membership spent the last week voting on the 439-page document after its executive board narrowly rejected it by a 6-5 vote, and the player representatives voted 17-14 in favor, with one abstention. Clearly, there was some strong player opposition to this collective bargaining agreement, though. Many stars, in-

cluding Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, J.J. Watt and Todd Gurley, spoke out against it. The total vote, among the nearly 2,500 union members who participated, was 1,019959. Ratification required a simple majority — results were announced Sunday — and there could be lasting resentment among union members, given how close the vote was. “Can’t believe we agreed to that lol," Colts tight end Eric Ebron tweeted. "We can only play this game for so long and y’all didn’t want everything we could get out of it? ... 2030 y’all do better.� Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey expressed displeasure about the turnout for voting. “Around 500 players didn’t even vote on the new CBA ...," he tweeted. "It’s good and bad to this deal. I could see why anyone would vote either way. I just think it’s amazing guys don’t even care.� Almost immediately, players were urging unity, particularly in the face of the criticism from within their ranks about approving the deal. “The democratic process has played itself out,� tweeted Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, one of the most influential
voices in the union. “We must be committed to unifying our current and former members. While I don’t agree with the decision because of its negative impacts on some current and former players, I do respect our process and will push forward accordingly.� NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, not surprisingly, praised the players' acceptance of the new CBA. “We are pleased that the players have voted to ratify the proposed new CBA, which will provide substantial benefits to all current and retired players, increase jobs, ensure continued progress on player safety, and give our fans more and better football,� Goodell said in a statement. “We appreciate the tireless efforts of the members of the Management Council Executive Committee and the NFLPA leadership, both of whom devoted nearly a year to detailed, good faith negotiations to reach this comprehensive, transformative agreement.� After discussions with the union during the day, the NFL sent a memo to all teams Sunday night that the league will open the 2020 NFL business season on Wednesday, as scheduled, with free agency and trades.

Third Ward Councilwoman Cathie Smith, who is also a member of the council’s economic development committee, told about the proposed tax, which would be paid by individuals who stay in hotels and motels located within the city of Trenton. The 5 percent tax would be collected by the city, but how the money is spent would be determined by a nine-member committee comprised of seven members of the community along with a representative from the city council and the city administrator. The council would have final approval over all expenditures. Mrs. Smith said Trenton would be one of the last communities in the area that would have a “bed� tax should voters approve the proposal. The money could be used for economic development purposes,
including tourism promotion. While Trenton does not have a hotel in operation at this time, Mrs. Smith said an investment group is in the process of making improvements to the hotel that was recently closed, with plans to have the business open by the first of October. She said the hotel has 35 rooms, all of which will be renovated. She said another group has expressed an interest in building a second hotel in Trenton. She said Trenton has a number of activities that occur throughout the year and that rooms are always needed. A recent hotel study showed the need for at least 45 hotel rooms at any one time during the year. During the business meeting, members were reminded to bring a new pair of shoes for the Shoes for Orphan Soles project. The deadline to donate shoes is March 31. NCMC Development Director Alicia Endicott will present the program at the March 19 meeting.

Galloway is expected to be the Democratic Party’s nominee to challenge Republican Gov. Mike Parson in the Nov. 3 election. Rowden said it is the statutory requirement that the office be audited independently every two years, which hasn’t been done since 2017. Current law mandates the office be audited by an independent party during the regular legislative session convened in “an odd-numbered year.� Galloway, who’s been the state auditor since April 2015, issued a statement Monday in response to the bill.

No conspiracy theory behind requiring Democratic State Auditor Nicole Galloway — who is running for governor — to have her office independently audited, as soon as possible. That’s what Missouri Sen.

Dave Schatz, R-Sullivan. “I don’t have any plan because of any sort of conspiracy theory,� Rowden said.

Dear Annie: I have managed to overcome an abusive childhood, and I'd like to share with you how I did it at age 42, which, unfortunately, was 22 years after my abuser, my father, died. My father had been very abusive but also very loving. As a child, and then as a teenager, this "dual personality" was very hard to deal with. As an adult, I finally understood that my dad, as a young marine in World War II, had been very badly injured. This injury, apparently, turned his life around -- in an unpleasant direction. Somewhere in my studies on abusive parents, I read that if you could not meet the offender/parent face-to-face, or if they were not alive, writing a letter to them and airing all your grievances might help the recipient to understand and forgive the behavior. I did this. In my letter, I said how much I loved him, even through all the abuse, and how I finally understood that his past had probably caused him to have an issue not understood at the time: post-traumatic stress disorder. I emphasized in the letter that I understood how he had
attempted to combat his mental situation with alcohol, to an extreme. By the time I had laid out ALL the incidents that I could vividly remember, and honestly accepted blame where I was the responsible party, I then looked at what I had written. As an adult, I saw, clearly, that even though he was to blame for the cruelty, at the same time, he was not to blame, due to the unnamed problem (PTSD). I could now understand that he could not always control his reactions to my childish behavior. I hope I've explained this clearly. My point is this: I unloaded my heart into this letter, said all the things I had never been able to say to him while he was alive and cleansed my soul of the pain I had endured. At the same time, I forgave him for his responses, because I could now understand he was clueless as to how he could have controlled and healed himself. I firmly believe that he did his very best with what knowledge he had at the time. If others who deal with this dilemma were able to write a letter, as I did, it may help them to heal. The purpose of my letter was to heal myself, which it did

-- completely. The purpose was not to heal my dad; it was way too late for that, as it usually is. Unfortunately, writing letters will not heal all people. His abuse toward me was never intentional, as some cases are. My heart goes out to those who have lived through intentional abuse. For that, I have only compassion for the victims. For the perpetrators, there is no explanation, no acceptance, no forgiveness from me. Others, who are much better than me, might be able to find forgiveness. I pray that this suggestion may help others, as it did me. I am now 73 years old and have not felt any further problems from my past. Thank you very much for your column, your love and understanding, and your help to others. -- Found a Way to Heal Dear Found a Way to Heal: Congratulations on taking the initiative to discover a way to heal your childhood trauma. Your letter touches on a very important realization; namely, that when people know better, they do better. Sadly, because of your father's PTSD, he might not have known what he was doing, and he didn't have the tools to cope with his own trauma. The fact that you were able to forgive him and heal yourself is outstanding. What a gift your letter is for others in similar situations.

Pantry pileup U.S. sales of canned and frozen foods and shelf staples like pasta are rising as consumers stock up due to virus fears. Nielsen noted a shift into “pantry preparation” mode after President Donald Trump told people to stock up on essentials on Feb. 26. Sales of flu remedies and household cleaners soared; so did sales of dried beans and canned meat. For some, the new coronavirus causes only mild symptoms, like fever or a cough. But for others it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. It’s a rare boost for packaged food companies,
Stocking up: Packaged food companies have seen a much needed boost to sales as consumers prepare for the coronavirus.

which have struggled as consumers gravitate toward less processed foods. Campbell Soup Co. increased production to keep up with retailers’ orders. Others poised to profit include Kellogg, which makes Eggo waffles; General Mills, which makes Progresso soup; and Conagra Brands, which makes Birds Eye frozen vegetables. This week, shares of Campbell and General Mills were trading close to their 52-week highs. But Bernstein analyst Alexia Howard thinks the trend will be temporary. In a note to investors, Howard said she doesn’t expect the buying spree to impact full-year earnings — yet.

Tax Increment Financing Commission of the City of Trenton, Missouri Notice of Public Hearing for the Orscheln Farm & Home Tax Increment Financing Plan and Notice of Request for Proposals Pursuant to Section 99.830 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (the “Act”), you are hereby notified that the Tax Increment Financing Commission of the City of Trenton, Missouri (the “Commission”), will hold a public hearing at 6:00 p.m. on April 13, 2020, at Trenton City Hall, 1100 Main Street, Trenton, Missouri, to consider the Orscheln Farm & Home Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”), the designation of the proposed redevelopment area (the “Redevelopment Area”), and the adoption of one or more redevelopment projects (each a “Redevelopment Project”) for the redevelopment of property in the Redevelopment Area. The proposed Redevelopment Area, which contains approximately 11.80 acres, is generally bounded by US Highway 65 to the east, Eastview Drive to the south, Meadowlark Lane to the west and East 28th Street to the north in Trenton, Missouri. The Redevelopment Plan calls for the construction of an approximately 37,026 square foot Orscheln Farm and Home store and associated sitework and infrastructure (“Redevelopment Project #1”). After this Plan is initially approved and future redevelopment projects are proposed, such additional Redevelopment Projects may be approved by amendment to this Plan, following all applicable procedures of the Act. A copy of the Redevelopment Plan is on file with the Office of the City Clerk, at City Hall at the address listed above and may be reviewed by any interested party during business hours. The taxing districts are invited to submit comments to the Commission prior to the date of the hearing. In connection with the City’s consideration of the Redevelopment Plan, and pursuant to the City’s bidding policies and procedures (the “TIF Policy”), the public is hereby notified that: 1. The City has received the proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Area, which is on file with the City Clerk. The Redevelopment Plan calls for redevelopment projects within the Redevelopment Area which propose to eliminate the conditions that define the Redevelopment Area as a blighted area, enhance the tax base, encourage private investment, increase employment opportunities, encourage construction and development, generate tax revenue and implement public improvements in and around the Redevelopment Area. Redevelopment is anticipated to be redeveloped through multiple redevelopment projects. The City seeks proposals for alternative redevelopment plans that comply with the Real Property Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, Section 99.800, et. seq., Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended (the “TIF Act”) to finance redevelopment costs. 2. All proposed redevelopment plans must include details regarding the redevelopment project costs including, as appropriate: land acquisition; demolition, clearing and grading; the construction of private improvements; the design, engineering and construction of public infrastructure improvements that serve the redevelopment project area; and any legal, engineering, accounting, land use planners, architects, feasibility experts costs and fees and other soft costs associated with approval and implementation of a redevelopment project. All proposed redevelopment projects shall comply with the application procedures set forth in the TIF Policy. 3. All submissions must contain a classification of expenses sufficiently detailed to allow for comparison with the proposed Redevelopment Plan, and must be in a form that is ready for consideration by the Commission and the City Council. The submission must include information about the proposed developer, including detail regarding prior development projects and other relevant business experience. If the person or entity submitting the proposal does not own or otherwise control the property, the submission must include the proposed method of acquiring such ownership or control. 4. Interested parties are invited to submit alternative proposals to the City Clerk at the Trenton City Hall, 1100 Main Street, Trenton, Missouri, and must be received by 4:30 p.m. no later than twentyone (21) calendar days after this notice appears in the newspaper. Twenty (20) copies of each proposal must be submitted. All proposals will be prepared at the sole cost and expense of the responding party and the City shall have no liability for any such costs or expenses. Each applicant must demonstrate the financial ability to implement the proposal, and must be prepared to submit required fees and enter into necessary agreements, including a funding agreement. This notice does not commit the City to select a redeveloper or to approve a redevelopment project. 5. All proposals shall be judged on: (i) the merit and viability of the proposal for redevelopment described in the submission; (ii) the quality and detail of the submission; (iii) the ability of the submission to aid in enhancing the tax base of the City and other taxing districts levying taxes in the Redevelopment Area, increasing employment in the City, and eliminating the blighting influences from the Redevelopment Area; (iv) the ability of the applicant to implement and further the goals of the Redevelopment Plan; and (v) the ability of the proposal to accomplish any other goals that it may identify. 6. The City reserves the right to reject all proposals and publish any additional requests for proposals as may be necessary, to extend the time period to submit responses to this Notice, to waive informalities, to combine elements of proposals submitted, and to select the proposal(s) or portions thereof and the redeveloper(s) which are, in the City’s sole discretion, determined to be in the best interests of the City.
