Employee Insurance Generates Discussion The Trenton R-9 Board of Education has set a special meeting for Monday, May 20 to continue discussion regarding employee health insurance after reviewing options that ranged from a 15 percent increase in rates costing the district $202,360 by staying with the current provider to a savings to the district of $145,501 if a different provider is selected. The board will meet at noon on Monday with a representative from National General, which is proposing a plan that would cost $511.24 per employee per month. National General is one of three companies making proposals to the board and has the lowest cost. Other proposals were received from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the district’s current provider, at a cost of $658.34 (the $202,360 increase), and from United Healthcare, whose proposal is $601 and would cost the district an additional $66,987 over what is currently being paid. The district currently pays $572 per month per employee. During a meeting on Tuesday night, Superintendent Dan Wiebers told board members all three plans would maintain the $2,500 deductible, with the Blue Cross/Blue Shield and United Healthcare plans also maintaining other benefits offered in the current package. The National General plan would have a higher co-pay for visits to the doctor and emergency room as well as a small increase in pharmacy costs, which is managed by Cigna, the same company which manages the district’s current pharmacy plan. The National General plan would pay 150 percent of

Medicare price and would include telemedicine and a wellness program. Under the National General plan, the district would not be required to purchase “terminal liability insurance,” which is required under the current plan with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The insurance covers all costs incurred on a claim filed prior to the expiration of coverage but not submitted for payment until after the expiration date. Should such an incident occur, the district would be liable in the first year for those costs up to $260,000. The district could choose to take terminal insurance with National General, however, Wiebers noted the cost would then go to $584 per employee per month. The board, at past meetings, has discussed capping the amount of money it would allow per employee for insurance coverage at $600. The district currently pays just over $1.2 million a year for employee insurance coverage or around 12 percent of the district budget. With the final day of school being Friday, May 24, Wiebers asked the board to hold the special meeting so that a decision can be made and employee paperwork can be filled out before staff leave for the summer. Before the meeting, Wiebers will also be asking employees for their input regarding the options available to determine their preference and whether or not they would be willing to pay the difference if the board were to cap the premium amount the district would pay. It was noted that around 30 retirees also

committee had also recommended having a study done on electric rates to determine if the rates being charged were appropriate and to look at what the city might need to do with rates in the future. In discussing that recommendation, council members voted 5-3 to ask for a request for qualifications regarding a rate study, which would also include those submitting an RFQ to make a presentation to the council as to what the study would entail. Larry Crawford, who chairs both the finance and utility committees, said a study could cost between $15,000 to $18,000, but said he felt it would be a benefit in planning for future utility projects and how the utility would pay for those projects. TMU Comptroller Rosetta Marsh
said it would also help the utility in setting future rates, making sure that charges are correct in each category. Voting in favor of the rate study was Crawford, Glen Briggs, Cathie Smith, David Mlika and John Dolan. Opposed were Lou Fisher, Danny Brewer and Brad Chumbley. The council approved a request to establish a lower charge for food trucks setting up in the downtown area one day a week. North Central Missouri Development Alliance Director Micah Landes and TDIA Director Megan Derry made the request, stating the two groups were planning to have one food truck set up in the downtown’s historic district one day a week during See Council, Page 7
Board Members Resign Vandevender had served on the board around 15 years. Allan Tharp, who was among several individuals receiving write-in votes for mayor in the April election, agreed to serve in the mayor’s position. Spickard had no candidates for mayor on the ballot. Mrs. George said that a posting of a job vacancy for a maintenance man/wastewater operator has been put on hold until the city’s finances improve. She said that board members and the mayor have been volunteering their time to read meters in the city so that bills can be sent out.

Electric Rate Changes Are Made Permanent Trenton Municipal Utilities electric customers will continue paying the winter rate throughout the year following action taken by the Trenton City Council on Monday night. On an 8-0 vote, the council approved a recommendation from the Utility Committee to leave electric rates at the lower amount which TMU normally charges only during the months of October through May. There was very little discussion regarding the change as committee members during a meeting on April 30, at which all council members were present, had agreed to recommend the lower rates due to a high amount in the electric department’s cash reserves.

NET RETURNS Trenton Trio Headed Back To State Tournament
A year ago, the Trenton High School boys tennis team made history by sending a school record four players to state. One year later, the three state qualifiers that returned this season are going back. The doubles team of Nick Shields and Creed Houghton and Gabe Swann in singles play all clinched return trips to Springfield on Tuesday at the individual sectional in Cameron. “Congrats to Nick, Creed and Gabe for getting to return to the state individual tournament for a second year in a row,� Trenton Coach David Sager said. “That’s an accomplishment that many don’t get a chance to do.� Fresh off individual District 15 championships the day before, the Trenton trio cruised at Tuesday’s sectional, defeating the District 16 run-
ners-up with relative ease. Shields and Houghton scored a 63 victory in the opening set over a Savannah duo, then put the Savages away with a 6-2 win in the second set. Swann had an even easier time, dispatching his LeBlond opponent 6-1, 6-0. Also in sectional action for Trenton was the doubles team of Jeremy Elliott and Isaac Harris. The duo qualified for sectionals by finishing runner-up to Shields and Houghton at individual districts on Monday. They battled the District 15 doubles champions from Savannah for the right to go to state. Unfortunately, Trenton was denied sending all of its sectional qualifiers to state as Elliott and Harris were upended 7-5, 6-2. “Isaac and Jeremy came up on the short end today, but they did press that Savannah doubles team very well

in the first set and should not hang their heads on how they played,� Sager said. Houghton returns to state in doubles play, where he was a state medalist last year, teaming with then-senior Kade Ockenfels, who graduated after the season. Houghton and Ockenfels placed eighth at state to earn medals. It was the first state doubles medals won in school history for Trenton and Houghton and Ockenfels became just the second and third state medalists in the history of the Trenton boys program. Houghton will look to become the only two-time state medalist ever for the Trenton program when he returns, teaming this year with Shields. Shields and Swann were both state qualifiers in the singles bracket last year. The pair will be looking for their first state wins this year as the duo each went 0-2 in singles play a year ago. The trio advancing to state for a second year in a row doubled the number of two-time state qualifiers in the program’s history. Prior to Shields, Houghton and Swann, the only multiple-time state qualifiers in boys tennis from Trenton were Brad Cross (1981 and 1982), Matt Dougan (1981 and 1982) and Don Lafferty (1984 and 1985). The individual state tournament begins with first-round matches on Friday, May 24. First serves at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield are scheduled for 9 a.m. that day. Before that, however, Trenton has its chance to make it to state as a team. The Bulldogs will be in team sectional action on Friday in Marshall. Trenton will face Savannah in the sectional round of the state playoffs at 9 a.m. If the Bulldogs win, they will then turn around and face the winner of the Pembroke Hill-Marshall sectional in the state quarterfinals that same day. That match will begin at noon in Marshall and the winner will go to state as a team,

playing on Thursday, May 23 before individual state begins. “We still have a lot of tennis to go this postseason, so we’ll need to gear back up and prepare for Savannah in the opening round of the team state tournament,� Sager said. “I’m very proud of these five men today and can’t wait to see what they will continue to accomplish this season.� INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS Trenton pushed five players into the sectional round of the state playoffs during the individual district tournament in Excelsior Springs on Monday. Shields and Houghton and Elliott and Harris each marched undefeated into the championship match of the doubles bracket. The two Trenton duos then met with the district championship on the line. Shields and Houghton won that honor 6-1, 6-1, but the top two in both singles and doubles advanced to sectionals, meaning both teams were moving on. For Shields and Houghton, the day began with a first-round bye, followed by a 6-0, 6-1 quarterfinal win over a team from Richmond. After that, Trenton’s top duo placed themselves into the championship match with a 6-0, 6-0 win over a Chillicothe team.
Elliott and Harris, meanwhile, received a first-round bye before defeating a Cameron duo 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the semifinals. The Trenton team then defeated their Carrollton opponents 7-5, 6-1 to get to the championship match. Swann, meanwhile, cruised to the singles championship, getting a 6-0, 6-2 win over a Chillicothe foe in the quarterfinals after a first-round bye. He then picked up a 6-0, 6-0 win over a Cameron opponent in the semifinals. In the championship match, Swann netted a 6-1, 6-3 win over another Chillicothe opponent to clinch the singles championship and keep his record on the season unblemished. “It was a very dominant day for our individual champs in both brackets,� Sager said. “There was no stopping them - not even our own team in the same bracket.� Also in action for Trenton at individual districts was Weston Otto, who was 0-1 on the day. Otto fell 6-4, 6-2 to an Excelsior Springs opponent to end the individual portion of his season. “Nick, Creed, Gabe, Isaac, Jeremy and Weston all represented our school and community well,� Sager said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR P.O. Box 548 Trenton, MO 64683
by Wendell Lenhart
The Republican-Times welcomes letters from its readers. We require that all letters to the editor be signed by the writer, including a telephone number where the writer can be reached. The writer’s name will be published. Subject matter of the letters is limited to issues and matters of local interest to the general public.

The publisher reserves the right to reject any letter submitted for publication.
Why We Live In Small Towns I know I have written recently about how much this community and area support those who are in need and it never ceases to amaze me. It’s one thing to know it happens but it’s quite another to see it in action. That happened a couple of weeks ago when there was a fundraiser held for Howie Lynch and his family. From a golf tournament, playing card raffle, an auction and a pay-what-youwant dinner, a significant amount of money was raised to help a very-deserving family with expenses associated with Howie’s medical bills. To see people from throughout the Wendell Lenhart area come together to help one of their own is unbelievably heart-warming. It’s just one of the great reasons about living in a small community where everybody knows everybody else and are more than willing to help them. Good friends and family members, along with people who could only be described as acquaintances, were willing to give not only their time but, more importantly, their money. It just made me feel good to see people help out with their hardearned money to someone in need. Even better, these people who happen to need some help now would be as willing to help someone else if the shoe was on the other foot. It doesn’t make any difference who it is. People around here are people helping people, whether they know them or not. It’s because it’s the right thing to do. And it just wasn’t this most recent fundraiser. The one held earlier this spring for Mackenzie Cunningham was similarly successful. Combining the two, somewhere over $70,000 was raised to help both of them. That is just astonishing and a great testament to where we live. Those kinds of things don’t happen in the larger communities because people don’t know each other as well. It really makes me proud of where I live and the people of this area that I live with. We may not have everything here, but we do have some of the greatest and most generous people in the world. ##### Trenton lost a really good person this week with the passing of Joel McCulley. Joel was a longtime HyVee employee and was very familiar to their customers. He had a long and distinguished career there and I think I saw him almost every week of that career when I was in the store. He was always friendly and caring and I never, ever saw him in a bad mood. On top of that, he was a dedicated servant of God. His presence will be missed by many of us.
The deadline for letters is noon on Wednesday of the week they are to be published.
The Passage of a Missouri Legislative Era by Phill Brooks, Director, Missouri Digital News Missouri has lost one of the most successful and charismatic House speakers I've covered in nearly one half century. Kenneth Rothman, who died late April, served as speaker from 1977 to 1980. His departure as House speaker marked the passing of a Missouri legislative era. The St. Louis County Democrat came to the speakership when there was a growing number of members that reporters nicknamed the "white hats." The term was used to describe the motivations of a bipartisan group of lawmakers elected to office in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal of Richard Nixon. The white hats sought fundamental change in government. Rothman was one of their leaders. Rothman was a passionate liberal Democrat. But like the other white hats, party affiliation was not a barrier. In the House, they pursued a number of major issues including consumer protection, openness in government, environmental protection, limiting special interests and equal rights. A major supporter of white hat issues was Republican governor Kit Bond who championed several of their issues. Rothman's departure as House speaker after four years represented an end to that era, which I did not fully realize at the time. The only subsequent House speaker I've covered who shared some of the same characteristics of Rothman was a Republican -Catherine Hannaway, R-St. Louis County. She struck me as having Rothman's joy of office, passion for issues, self-confidence
and candor. But Hannaway's tenure was at a time that deep partisan divide was emerging in American politics. She ran on a partisan agenda. Besides, with a steep decline in moderates from both parties, finding a bipartisan majority on significant issues was becoming increasingly difficult. As for Rothman, after his four years as speaker, he ran for lieutenant governor in 1980. He won by defeating a man who would become a major figure in Missouri's political theater -- U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt. When I asked Rothman why he abandoned the House speakership for the far less powerful position of lieutenant governor, he voiced confidence that he could use the office to continue his legislative leadership. It was not to be. The spirit of independence in the Senate blocked any lieutenant governor from significant influence. Rothman found himself largely ignored by the more conservative body where even some fellow Senate Democrats expressed bitterness about his role in House-Senate fights when he was House speaker. I still clearly remember the frustrations Rothman voiced to me that he no longer was a center of power or news. But, of course, a statewide-elected office could be a stepping stone to higher office. But that too was not to be. After four years as lieutenant governor, Rothman lost the governorship race to another future Missouri GOP leader, John Ashcroft.
On a personal note, I confess that I'll deeply miss "Kenny," as his friends knew him. There was a candor and openness from Rothman that I find lacking in so many of today's politicians. I can't remember him ever displaying distress. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the conflict, even when dealing with aggressive reporters. He was a lawyer, so he was used to a public adversarial process. He did not get angry very often with those who opposed his efforts. Rothman also had a humorous wit that could take the edge off of intense disagreements. Actually, I regularly sensed joy from Rothman about being a very public leader in a process that is not always friendly. That's a characteristic I've found missing in many of today's politicians who seek to hide behind spokespersons, operatives, staged events and closed-door caucus sessions. Kenny did not hide behind anyone. But what I miss most is the loss of an era that Kenny represented. It was a time when political parties were not so ideologically divided as to make it impossible to forge compromises on major issues that leaders like Rothman and Bond were able to put together. The Late Kenneth Rothman is a reminder of a time when Democrats and Republicans were able to work closely together to solve Missouri's problems and not take disagreements personally.

Playing By Medicare Rules Workers retiring at age 65 are eligible for Medicare Part B (which covers outpatient services) and must sign up the month they turn 65 or during the three months before or after. Some employees choose to continue working and remain with their employer’s health coverage. That is fine as long as the employee or his or her spouse works at a job (with 20 or more employees) that provides health benefits because Medicare provides secondarily to their employer’s group plan. Once the employee stops working, it’s important to enroll in Part B within eight months after the month of retirement. Failure to enroll during this “special enrollment period� can result in being uninsured if the employer’s coverage expires. Although most retirees enroll in Medicare at age 65, if you're still working, you have more options to consider for quality health care coverage. There's a lot to keep track of: enrollment deadlines, health care coverage options, and possible penalties to avoid. But with some planning and homework, you can avoid the common pitfalls if you continue to work beyond age 65.

Wheat Growers Need To Spray Now For Prevention Of FHB Missouri wheat growers should scout fields and prepare to spray now to prevent Fusarium head blight (FHB), also called scab, says University of Missouri Extension plant pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette. Bissonnette says it is too late for many growers in southeastern Missouri to spray because wheat has passed the stage where spraying is recommended. Growers in southwestern, central and northern Missouri still have time to protect flowering plants. The wheat crop in the Midwest is at moderate to high risk for the disease. Growers should monitor weather conditions carefully when wheat begins to flower and be prepared to apply fungicides, Bissonnette says. Currently, wheat development lags seven to 10 days due to delays caused by a late 2018 harvest, a lingering winter and cool spring weather. FHB reduces grain yield and quality. Infected kernels shrivel, weigh less and can be contaminated with deoxynivalenol (DON), also called vomitoxin. Symptoms of infection generally begin 14-21 days after flowering and include bleaching of individual or whole parts of the wheat head. An integrated approach to management includes selection of FHB-resistant wheat varieties and timely application of a fungicide to
prevent disease when relative humidity is high and temperatures range from 75 to 85 F, conditions that favor FHB development. No variety offers complete resistance to scab and the mycotoxins it produces, Bissonnette says, but some varieties are more resistant than others. Bissonnette says several labeled fungicides in the triazole class (FRAC 3) and a newly labeled multiple-mode-of-action product containing a triazole and an SDHI (succinate-dehydrogenase inhibitor, FRAC 7) provide effective control when applied at Feekes growth stage 10.5.1 (50% of heads are flowering). University research shows that a triazole fungicide applied up to five days after Feekes 10.5.1 may provide similar control. Bissonnette says that strobilurin-containing fungicides are not labeled for control of FHB. If applied at later growth stages such as heading or early flowering, application could result in increased DON levels in grain. The Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Center, a website hosted by Penn State University and supported in part by the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative, offers state- and region-specific information about current and predicted risk of FHB. MU Extension contributes to this site. Go to www.wheatscab.psu.edu(opens in new window) for daily risk map updates.

NW Missouri Horticulture by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist EGGPLANTS If we were to make a list of favorite garden vegetables, you probably would not find eggplant very near the top of the list. While it may not be as popular as the tomato, it does produce good yields of fruit, which can be used in a wide variety of dishes. In addition, it is somewhat attractive, and has been used on occasion in ornamental plantings. Eggplant is another member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which also includes tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes. Like other solanaceous crops, eggplants were once considered less-than-desirable as food, if not actually poisonous. In the 16th century, it was known as the "mad apple", because it was thought that consumption would lead to insanity. Originally, eggplant was found in two regions of the world. Smaller-fruited types came from China and larger-fruited types came from India. The name of "eggplant" was chosen because of the shape of the small-fruited varieties, which are similar to eggs. Today, we can grow either type, or hybrids of the two types. This has led to a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and colors. There are even small, white varieties, which do come close to looking like eggs. These can make unusual ornamental plants. Like tomatoes, eggplants love hot weather and do their best during mid-summer. Daytime temperatures of 78 degrees are optimal. Nighttime temperatures are best above 68 degrees. Eggplants will grow in warmer weather, but may fail to set fruit if temperatures get too high. If drying winds accompany the high temperature readings, pol-
lination may be prevented. However, cooler weather will bring a return of fruiting. When fall arrives, eggplants slow their growth, and fruits do not develop. The best time to harvest eggplant is when they are young, approximately one-third to twothird of their mature size. If you press lightly on the side of the fruit with your thumb, the flesh should readily spring back. If it does not, the fruit is too mature. Another indicator of maturity is the skin color. Fruit which is still optimal will have a high gloss, but over-mature fruit may look dull, with possible bronzing. When selecting varieties to grow, choose those that have disease resistance. Some of the diseases that are problems in tomatoes can also attack eggplants, such as verticillium wilt. Be sure to rotate your crops each year, and this will lessen the likelihood of disease. Insect pests can be a problem, especially flea beetles. These are small, black beetles, about 1/16-inch long. They feed on the leaves, making many small holes. In severe cases, they can actually destroy the plant. Even if your eggplant survives, they can still stunt the plant and reduce yields. If flea beetles are a problem, you will need to maintain a regular spray schedule in order to harvest a crop. As a final thought, remember that these plants are normally vigorous growers, producing large fruits. This means that they will need plenty of moisture, especially on sandy soils. During the hot weather that makes them thrive, be sure to give them regular water. You will soon be giving eggplant to your neighbors.
Viticulture Field Day June 27 & 28 Grape growers can meet with one of the world’s leading viticulture scientists as part of the fourth annual Missouri Grape Growers Association Viticulture Field Day and Missouri Vintners Association meeting. The event kicks off June 27 at Les Bourgeois Vineyards Blufftop Bistro in Rocheport, says Dean Volenberg, University of Missouri Extension viticulturist. Richard Smart, pioneer in wine grape canopy management, will talk with growers at Vintage Restaurant at Stone Hill Winery in Hermann on June 28. He also will travel to Augusta, Mo., to meet with growers at Montelle Winery. Grape growers interested in attending these talks should contact Dean Volenberg at volenbergd@missouri.edu or 573-882-0476. Smart’s techniques led to improvements in yield and wine quality and reduced disease in high-vigor vineyards. Volenberg says Smart is considered a foremost authority on canopy management and protocols on grapevine trunk diseases. Smart began lecturing and writing about carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning and the implications for the wine industry in the 1970s. He considers the wine industry to be the “canary in the coal mine� for agriculture. Smart wrote an award-winning book on canopy management, “Sunlight Into Wine.� He served as the viticulture editor of the Oxford Companion to Wine and has published extensively. The Missouri Wine Marketing and Research Council sponsors Smart’s visit to the event. Register at brownpapertickets.com/event/4232639(opens in new window).

Slow Grass Growth, Delayed Crop Planting Topics Of Conference Grass growers ask, “Why doesn’t my grass grow this spring?� “It’s the cool weather and a whole lot more,� says Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist. Delayed crop planting and slow grass growth were common topics in the weekly agronomy teleconference for MU Extension specialists. Best pasture grass grows in 70-degree weather, Roberts said. That’s day-and-night average for 24 hours. It’s not a day with 70 degrees for two hours in the afternoon. A bigger problem occurs when cows grub pastures into the ground with early grazing. That happens when herds are turned out to pasture at the first sign of growth. “We’re talking grass 1 inch tall,� Roberts said. “The pastures look like pool tables.� Short grass leaves don’t have enough photosynthesis to create new growth. Early grazing consumes stored carbohydrates held in reserve to start spring growth, Roberts told field specialists. Questions were asked about spreading nitrogen fertilizer to make more grass. “Maybe some, but not much,� Roberts replied. In normal years, use no spring nitrogen, he says. A spring flush of growth makes more grass than cow herds can eat. Early growth matures and goes to waste. “This year use limited nitrogen,� Roberts says. “Normally we’d say 40 pounds of N per acre, but this year no more than 20 pounds.� That may require farmers to spread the fertilizer. “Commercial applicators won’t want to come out for such a limited sale,� he said. Applying nitrogen in spring has too many downsides to be used regularly. The N makes too much growth. Worse, N applied to toxic tall fescue, the most common pasture grass in Missouri, spurs development of alkaloid toxins in the grass. Toxins cut animal growth, milk and reproduction. Also, adding nitrogen crowds out legumes desired in pasture mixes. Better weather outlooks with higher temperatures lie ahead. Plus, plentiful rain makes for grass growth. “Moisture that's bad for crop plantings is good for livestock producers turning herds out to pasture,� Roberts said. Management-intensive grazing, including rotational grazing, allows better use of sparse grass. MIG boosts production by about one-third. Managed grazing is taught at grazing schools held by MU Extension in cooperation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and county Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Roberts urges herd owners to enroll. Regional MU Extension agronomists give advice to farmers.

the summer months. Currently, the city requires out-of-town vendors of that type to purchase a $100 business license, which is good for one year. Miss Derry said a lower rate would provide an incentive for vendors to try selling in the downtown area, in particular those who may only want to do one day a month. All scheduling of food trucks would be done through the NCMDA and TDIA. The council voted 7-1 to set the day permit rate at $15, which would be charged for each visit by the vendor and would only be available for vendors in the downtown area. It was also decided that the council will revisit the decision in a year to determine whether or not to extend the permit to include the entire city. Briggs was opposed, stating he felt that the same rate should be offered to all vendors throughout the year. The council approved a bid from 5M Construction of Trenton to construct the fire training facility, to be located just behind the fire department building on Harris Avenue.
The bid of $342,800 includes two alternates and was $100,000 less than the engineers estimates. The project is being paid for by funds collected through the city’s fire sales tax. In a related matter, the city also approved an ordinance rezoning property located behind the training facility from R-5 multi-family to B-3 general commercial. An amendment to the city’s contract with Burns and McDonnell for improvements at the wastewater plant was approved. The amendment includes adding the second phase of the headworks project to the improvements, with the cost of all improvements now estimated at $9,482,538. City Administrator Ron Urton presented his report, updating the council on work at the wastewater plant as well as the possible operation this week of the asphalt plant with the installation on Monday of a gas pressure regulator. He also told the council that preliminary information shows the city actually spending less money than had been budgeted last year (approximately $58,000) while taking in more money ($515,000) The street department has

provided a list of streets being considered for the summer street project. Overlay projects include Normal Street, from Ninth Street to 13th Court; Kumler Street, between East Eighth and Ninth streets; and the road in and out of the asphalt plant. On the chip and seal list are Mable Street, from Tinsman Avenue to 17th Street; Crowder Road, from Norton Street to Main Street; Tindall Avenue, from Crowder Road to 18th Street; Bolser Street, from 22nd Street to Eighth Street; Pleasant Plain, from 19th Street to 22nd Street; 24th Street, from Princeton Road to Speedway; Harris Avenue, from Speedway to 24th Street; 19th Street, from Harris Avenue to Princeton Road; Laclede Street, from Ninth Street to Tinsman Avenue; Pleasant View, from East Fifth Street to South Main; Highland Street, from Ninth Street to Johnson Drive; Madison Street, from 17th Street to Felder Drive; Scott Street, from Madison Street to Oklahoma Avenue; Parallel Road from Winchester to Savage; and Savage, from Parallel Road to Parklane. In other business, the council:
• approved a resolution supporting state legislation imposing a use tax to out-of-state vendors. This would allow for the city, if it approves a local use tax, to receive sales tax revenues from online vendors who have no presence in the state. The previous city council had asked that such a resolution be considered. • approved an ordinance repealing the $100 minimum fine for violation of the city’s dogs and cats law. A change in state law now sets that fine at $50.50. Court costs may also be assessed (the city court costs are $41.50). • approved an ordinance approving an agreement with R/S Electric Utility Services for technical support. • approved an ordinance amending the city code regarding the use of sirens and flashing lights by emergency personnel. The Economic Development Committee also set a meeting for 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29. Because of the Memorial Day holiday, there will be no second meeting of the council this month. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 10.
new performing arts center in December 2020. Gutshall said he, along with other R-9 staff members, have been meeting with architects regarding the project, which includes the performing arts center as well as renovation work in the THS/TMS Media Center, Rissler Elementary School and C.F. Russell Stadium. Bid documents are scheduled to be completed by July 11, with the project going to bid on July 15. A pre-bid meeting of prospective bidders is set for July 23, with bids being due on Aug. 6. The board would then consider the bids at its Aug. 13 meeting and, once a bid is approved, the contractor would move on site and work would begin most likely the first part of September. Gutshall noted that the performing arts center would be the first project on which work would begin, with the Rissler, media center and stadium work being done during the summer of 2020. Engineers are on site, collecting information to be used by the architects in the final design. A meeting is also scheduled on Thursday with the architects. Gutshall said he felt the R-9 project would be going to bid “at a good time.� Wiebers told the board that bonds for the project would probably not be sold until later in the year in order to get a better rate. Bonds for the new Kansas City airport project are currently being put on the market, which the district’s bond company, George K. Baum, indicated was diluting the market and driving the rates down. By waiting until later in the year, it is hoped the R-9 bonds could be sold at a higher rate. Voters approved up to $7 million in bonds for the project. Following an executive session, the board approved resignations from THS FACS teacher Margaret Mollenhour, TMS math teacher Lauren Boswell, THS weight teacher Brandon Boswell, THS physi-
cal education/health teacher Jennifer Dickson and Rissler assistant principal Kayli Burrell. Hired were Angela Wagner, elementary teacher; Trey Shields, high school English; Lanie Beetsma, middle school/high school counselor; and Katherine Witten, Kim Hendricks and Megan Lynch, paraprofessionals. Hired as additional summer school teachers were Vanessa Pauley, Shelby Bagley, Taylor McCartney, Joel Hultman and Alicia Kieffer. In other business, the board: • approved a $969 grant request from Anna Musselman, to be submitted to the GEC  Foundation to purchase listening centers for all five preschool classrooms. • received a check from Citizens Bank and Trust for $6,015.95, representing two quarters worth of swipes of the bank’s Bulldog debit card. Every time a Bulldog debit card is used, five cents is collected by the bank and donated to the Trenton R-9 School District. The money is used for student-related items not funded in the regular school budget. • was told the 2019-20 budget would be available for review at its June 11 meeting, with a special meeting to be set at the end of the month to approve the budget as well as close out the 2018-19 school year. • was told the district has been officially accredited through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Missouri School Improvement Program 5. • was presented with information regarding Teacher Appreciation Week and safety activities as well as hearing the Title I program report. • was told 113 students attended prom, with 19 initially being ineligible to attend. Five of those students appealed and four were allowed to attend. • recognized social studies instructor Vince Fender on his retirement. He has been a teacher in the R-9 School District for 19 years.

Dear Annie: I've been in this relationship for five years now, and my boyfriend, "Steve," still puts his adult daughter, "June," before me. I'm a parent, and I understand their relationship to a certain point, but there are boundaries crossed. June is 29. Every time she's in a relationship, she ditches Steve. And then he comes venting to me about it. Last year, she moved out and found her own place. Steve started staying with her, but she told him he had to go, because she was pregnant and her child's father needed to be around. So then Steve moved back in with me, and in my mind he didn't come by choice; he came simply because he had nowhere else to go. That made me feel pretty awful. And now here we are six months later: Her child's father left again, and in barely any time at all, Steve moved back in with her. His excuse was that she needs help with the baby, being that she is pregnant again. I'm all for helping her out, but really, did he have to leave me to sleep alone at night? When I speak to him about it, he says that it's his daughter, as if that justifies everything. It's so frus-
trating. It's not as if he can't help her while also living with me. And that's not to mention that he didn't even run it by me first when he made this decision. He just said, "I hope you don't get mad; this is what I'm doing." I'm wondering how he could one day call me his wife and then move out without even talking to me first. I am not OK with this. He didn't think about my feelings or my son's feelings. Steve has been in my son's life for so long that my son calls him dad. I'm really growing tired of how he puts her first for everything, forgetting that he made a family over here as well. I am reaching my breaking point and he doesn't get it. It's been the same song and dance for a few years now. Am I wrong? -- Anonymous, Please Dear Anonymous: She's 29. It's time for him to stop acting like she's 9. For him to try to pass this off as normal, acceptable behavior -- to actually make you feel wrong for being upset -- is preposterous. If you want to stay in the relationship, I urge you to see a couples counselor together, because some of these issues seem very deep-seated. If he still won't cut

For investors worried about the widening trade war, the answer seems obvious: Hide out in companies whose sales are mostly in the U.S. and wait for everything to blow over. Small cap stocks have a mostly domestic customer base, making about 21% of their revenue from abroad, versus 41% for the larger stocks in the Russell 200 index. But “trade wars turn out to be an issue for stocks, and small caps are NOT protected,” Jefferies strategist Steven DeSanctis wrote in a recent report. Small caps tend to
supply bigger companies, and when their sales are hurt by a trade war, small caps will feel the effects. For a short amount of time, the trade may work, said Anthony Saglimbene, global market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. “But if expectations are changing around global growth and profits are going down, you would expect small caps to move down as investors take risk off the table. So I don’t know if small caps are where you want to hide out right now.” Instead of small caps, he suggests high quality stocks with stable profits and strong competitive advantages.

the cord with her, it's time for you to cut and run. You and your son deserve someone who treats you like a priority, not an afterthought. Dear Annie: I just read the letter from "Bewildered in Vermont," who is concerned that her nieces and nephews are trying to have her sister declared legally incompetent just so they have control of her assets. Your suggestion of getting a physician's statement is excellent. It would be good to have it from the primary physician but also from a neuropsychologist. The other thing is to involve a local ombudsmen. They can help the sister navigate her senior rights and the legalities. -- Senior Rights Advocate Dear Senior Rights Advocate: Thank you for the additional practical tip for "Bewildered in Vermont." I'm printing it in the hope it lends some further clarity to her situation.
