Utility, Administrative, Economic Development, Finance Committees Meet
Continued Winter Rates Recommended The Utility Committee of the Trenton City Council will be recommending to the full council membership that winter rates for electric usage remain in place throughout the summer months, resulting in what City Administrator Ron Urton says will be an approximate 20 percent reduction for Trenton Municipal Utilities customers in the charge for kilowatts per hour. The committee made its decision in response to discussion held during a meeting on Tuesday night regarding the amount of cash in the electric department fund. Information presented showed that as of March 31 there was a cash balance of $4.922 million, with just over $281,000 of that total being “restricted.” The city council had previously voted that cash reserves in the electric department should be around $2.2 million and to meet that figure, several options were discussed before members finally voted to ask that the winter rates be kept in place.

rates, which are used in June, July, August and September, are higher than the winter rates assessed during the other eight months of the year. Urton said that keeping the winter rates will mean a reduction in revenues for the electric department of around 7.5 percent, or between $500,000 to $600,000. Combined with a 5 percent rate decrease approved by the council last fall, customers will see a 12-plus percent in rate reduction over the past year. In the meantime, Urton said the committee will also ask the council to have an electric rate study performed, with a professional company reviewing the city’s residential, commercial and industrial rates. The study would help the city determine where rates need to be while also looking at upcoming major electric department expenses, including the purchase of a new main transformer (listed at a cost of $1 million) and the rebuilding of two others. The last study was done
five to seven years ago and it is anticipated the cost would be between $15,000 and $18,000. The committee also reviewed monthly utility financials, which showed balances in the electric and water funds above what was recommended by the council, but that the wastewater fund was well below the minimum amount. The water department has $2,590,529 in total cash, of which $229,260 is restricted (the council-recommended minimum is $1.5 million), while the wastewater fund has cash of $4,317,030 (the council-recommended minimum is $5.5 million). There was also discussion about the headworks project at the wastewater plant, including possible funding scenarios. No decision was made, however, Urton told the committee he has met with Charlie Zitnik of DA Davidson about the city obtaining a loan to finance the project, which has been estimated at nearly $4 million.
said public employers are exempt from the new law, however, the board did take action to increase the pay rate of pool employees. New employees will be paid $8 an hour while returning staff members who were making less than $8 an hour last year will receive $8.25 this year. Returning lifeguards who were earning more than $8 an hour last season will receive a 25-cent per hour increase over the rate they were earning. Mrs. Allen said two assistant managers who will act as manager trainees have been hired and one of them will be selected to serve as manager next year, replacing Alexis Whitney, who has told the board this will be her last year as manager. In discussing the pool and the cost to keep it going, Board President Duane Helmandollar said that while the pool is still a service to the community, everything has gone up in cost – from chemicals, something he said most people don’t think about, to utilities and wages. Board members all agreed the increases were necessary to help maintain the pool and pay for labor associated with its operation. In two other issues involving the aquatic center, Mrs. Allen said she had a request for the fee to be waived for swimming during 4-H camps, but said she had offered what is the normal fee for non-profit groups who want to bring groups to the pool during regular hours, which is a 50 percent discount, $2.50 per swimmer. Park Superintendent Jason Shuler also told the board that one of the lifeguard chairs needs to be replaced, with an approximate cost of $1,000. Helmandollar asked the board to give some thought to whether or not a new mower should be purchased or if the
board should try to use the three that are already in use for a while longer. Bids were recently sought for a mower, with the bids later revised to be less specific. Helmandollar said a commercial mower should last up to about 5,000 hours and it was noted that the two 2015 models being used by the department have around 600 hours and a 2011 model has around 800 hours. “It seems like we might be leaving some money on the table by trading them in earlier,” he said. The board also talked about the fact that all three mowers are the Dixie Chopper brand, which Shuler said is high quality and is the type of mower needed to mow the 110 acres the department mows every week, including some rough terrain. It was noted that Dixie Chopper is going out of business and although parts will still be manufactured, it might make more sense to find a different brand. Helmandollar suggested that Shuler use this summer to “demo” other mowers that would be a good replacement for Dixie Chopper. No decisions were made, with Helmandollar asking that board members give the issue some thought in light of the change with Dixie Chopper and the board’s deficit budget for this year. The board had budgeted $11,500 for the purchase of a mower. In his report, Shuler told the board the Trenton Municipal Utilities electric department had checked the light poles on Johnson and Griffin fields at his request and found two needing to be replaced. He told the board Grundy Electric Cooperative was able to get the poles and transport them to Trenton at a cost of $800 per pole and TMU will install the See Park, Page 7

voted to keep the city’s sidewalk program ordinance as is regarding requirements to purchase a building permit. During a council meeting on April 22, a member of the public had asked the city to consider waiving the $35 permit fee as a way to encourage residents to construct new or replace old sidewalks. At that meeting, Code Enforcement Officer Donnie Vandevender indicated the permit is used to assure that sidewalks are constructed to code. The city allocates $3,500 in its budget to reimburse citizens for concrete when sidewalks are constructed or replaced. Urton said the committee discussed a proposed ordinance, prepared by the city attorney, regarding the use of emergency lights by utility and street department vehicles and voted to present the ordinance to the full council for approval. The council is scheduled to meet on Monday, May 13.

Private Party Charges Go Up
Season Pass, Private Party Costs Increased With the rising cost of supplies, utilities and labor, the Trenton Park Board has made the decision to increase the cost of season passes and private parties at the Trenton Family Aquatic Center while leaving daily admission prices the same as last year. During a meeting held on Wednesday at city hall, park board members agreed to leave the daily admission prices the same as in the 2018 season: free for children under age 2; $5 for swimmers age 2 through 54; $2.50 for ages 55 and over; and $1 for non-swimmers. The price of a pool pass for a family of four with at least one adult will increase $10 to $200 while a single pass will increase from $70 to $85. Season passes for those 55 and over will increase from $20 to $25 with the price of a pass for lap swimming seeing the same increase to $25 Private pool parties will increase from $225 to $250 for a two-hour (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.) event. The cost of swimming lessons will also increase this summer, with Level 1 lessons (four days) increasing from $25 to $30 and the cost of Levels 2 through 6 (eight days) going from $40 to $50. Preschool lessons, which are eight days, will see a $10 bump, increasing from $30 to $40. The aquatic center is scheduled to open on Friday, May 31, later than usual due to the delay of the summer break in the Trenton R-9 School District. That time will be needed to allow for time to get the pool ready and train staff members, most of whom are high school students, for the season. In another TFAC-related issue, board members addressed the increase in minimum wage as it relates to lifeguards and other pool employees. Sarah Allen, a member of the pool committee,
He said Zitnik discussed a $3 million loan, which could be combined with certificates of participation the utility has available and make a total loan of $5.1 million. Zitnik believes the city could see the interest rate of 4.9 percent currently being paid on borrowed funds dropping by as much as 1 percent with the increase in borrowed funds, saving the city about $150,000 in interest.The city’s upgraded bond rating would also be key in helping get a better rate. The committee also elected Larry Crawford to serve as chairman. Crawford, serves on the utility committee as chairman of the finance committee along with the chairman of the administrative committee, David Mlika, and chairman of the economic development committee, Cathie Smith. Mlika and Mrs. Smith were elected to those positions during meetings held prior to the utility committee meeting. The administrative committee also

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS
Trenton Bulldogs 6, Kirksville Tigers 3
Trenton Bulldogs 9, Cameron Dragons 0
Tennis Team Closes With Wins The Trenton High School boys tennis team closed out the regular season with a pair of statement wins this week. On Monday, Trenton traveled to and defeated Kirksville 6-3 before closing out the regular season with a 9-0 victory over Cameron on Wednesday, which was also Senior Day for the Bulldogs. vs. KIRKSVILLE Trenton ventured to Kirksville on Monday for a rematch with the Tigers. One week earlier, Kirksville posed Trenton’s toughest hurdle on the season to date, coming within a single match of knocking the Bulldogs from the ranks of the unbeaten. This time around, Trenton thwarted the Tigers with a little more breathing room, taking the dual 6-3. Trenton split the first two doubles matches, getting an 8-1 win from Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott that wiped out an 8-6 loss for Nick Shields and Creed Houghton. It was the tandem of Isaac Harris and Weston Otto that gave Trenton a leg up, however, scoring a tight 9-7 victory to send the Bulldogs into singles play with a 2-1 edge, something Kirksville enjoyed in the prior meeting.
“We started big in winning two out of the three doubles matches,” Trenton Coach David Sager said. “That always builds up our team’s confidence in the singles portion of the dual.” Shields suffered an 8-1 loss at number one, but Trenton’s twothrough- five players more than made up for the dual-tying loss to start singles play. Swann picked up an 8-3 win at number two and Houghton won 8-2 at number three. Elliott was an 8-1 winner at number four and Harris scored an 8-4 win at number five. Otto rounded out Trenton’s singles play with an 8-5 loss. “This was a big dual win in Kirksville,” Sager said. “It’s never easy to play Kirksville on their courts.” Trenton played three junior varsity matches against Kirksville, dropping all three. Jonin Villacampa and Sabastian Brown fell 8-0, Riley Raymo and Riley Walker lost 8-3 and Cole Soptic and Villacampa were defeated 8-5. vs. CAMERON Trenton ceremoniously closed out the dual portion of the regular season

on Wednesday, honoring the senior members of the team with an easy 90 win over Cameron. Trenton didn’t yield a game in doubles play, taking all three matches by 8-0 scores. Trenton continued to cruise in singles play, dropping just four games while sweeping the six matches to close out a 9-0 dual win. Shields, Houghton and Elliott all picked up 8-0 wins while Swann and Otto each won 8-1. Harris wrapped up the sweep with an 8-2 victory. “All five of our seniors played very well in their last regular season home dual,” Sager said. “We still have a lot of tennis left in the season and being the number-one seed in the district tournament gives our boys more chances to play on the THS tennis courts. This has been an incredible season for our seniors and the rest of the squad. Nick, Creed, Jeremy, Isaac and Weston have played a big role in our tennis program, having all the success we have had in the past four years. I’ve really had the pleasure to work with these five young men and am looking forward to what else they can achieve for the Black and Gold for the rest of this season.”

Grand River Conference Relays
RIVER RUNS DEEP Trenton Shows Off Depth, Wins GRC Title
Trenton High School girls track and field Coach Chris Parks was after points on Wednesday at the Grand River Conference Relays at South Harrison High School in Bethany. He hoped to find them by taking his top two point-earners on the track - Kristi Ewing and Lexi Whitaker - out of one relay each to give them both a third individual event. The depth of this team is real. Despite not having Ewing in the 4x200-meter relay or Whitaker in the 4x400-meter relay, Trenton still finished first in both events. Parks got his points from Ewing and Whitaker and a host of others as well as the Bulldogs netted 153 team points to blitz the 16-team field and capture a second-straight Grand River Conference championship. “Overall I was really proud of the way our girls performed,” Parks said. “All the way through our running, through our field events, through our jumps, it was a team effort. You just see a lot of pride with our girls at that track meet.” Trenton used Whitaker in the 4x200 and Ewing in the 4x400 and that was plenty as Trenton swept those events to account for a combined 20 of the team’s first-place 153 points. Mykah Hurley subbed for Ewing in the 4x200 and Chandler Lynch stepped into the 4x400 for Whitaker. “The depth of this team is really good,” Parks said. “Our backups can come right in a 4x4 or 4x2. They have a lot of determination and it doesn’t matter who is on that group, they are determined to do the best that they can for our team.” Hurley, Whitaker, Lynch and Lexi Gott combined to win the 4x200-meter relay with a time of 1:53.2. In the 4x400, Gott, Lynch, Ewing and McKayla Blackburn won with a time of 4:20.0 - setting a new conference record for the event. “We always say when we have Kristi or Lexi as our anchor ‘we’re just going to give you a chance’,” Blackburn said. “We’re going to do our best to get them as close to first place as we can and if we get ahead then we get ahead.” Ewing gave Trenton a gold medal individually in the 400meter dash, winning with a time of 1:00.41. She was second in the 200-meter dash with a time

of 26.7 and second in the 100 with a time of 13.21. Whitaker, meanwhile, finished runner-up in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 47.9, third in the 200-meter dash with a time of 27.2 and fourth in the high jump with a mark of 5-0. Trenton won one gold medal in the field, coming from Maci Moore, who was first in the triple jump with a leap of 32-0.5. Hurley wasn’t far behind Moore, placing third in the same event with a mark of 30-10.75. Moore added a fourth-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 35-1 and was seventh in the high jump after clearing 48. Hurley placed fifth in the long jump with a mark of 15-6. Other placewinners in the field included Salem Croy, second in the javelin with a throw of 116-1 and fifth in the discus with a throw of 102-0; Kendall Crowley, sixth in the discus with a throw of 94-4; and Emma Curtis, seventh in the long jump with a mark of 14-8.5. Back on the track, Trenton’s 4x100- and 4x800-meter relay teams each came home third. Gott, Hurley, Curtis and Shay Westerhof combined to finish third in the 4x100 with a time of 54.99 and Gwyneth Foster, Blackburn, Morgan King and Gracyn Rongey combined to run third in the 4x800 which didn’t have an official time due to a computer error in the event. Other placewinners on the track included Evy McCullough, fourth in the 100-meter hurdles
with a time of 20.11 and sixth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 59.76; Katie Markell, fourth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 14:25.34 and sixth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:28.91; Rongey, fifth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:26.47; King, sixth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 15:10.15; Foster, sixth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:40.86; Lynch, sixth in the 400meter dash with a time of 1:05.26; Jenna Reeter, seventh in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 20.94; and Blackburn, eighth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:44.79. The team title was the third in a row for Trenton this season and marked the eighth time this year the Bulldogs scored a meet championship. Worth County was the runner-up to Trenton for the second year in a row, finishing with 102 points. St. Joseph Christian was third with 92 points. The Bulldogs have now, in one school year, captured GRC championships in softball, basketball and track and field. “What we have been able to do has been incredible,” Blackburn, who was a member of all three conference-championshipwinning teams, said. “I think that everyone is scared of us in our conference, no matter what sport it is. Whenever we go to a conference thing, it’s always like ‘oh, there’s Trenton, we’ve got to beat them.’ It’s tough because everybody wants to beat us.”
TRENTON BOYS The Trenton boys placed third in the boys standings, tallying 74 points. Princeton was first with 113 points and Worth County placed second with 107. Brian Ewing led the way for the Trenton boys, winning the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.3, the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.86 and the 400-meter dash with a time of 51.0. Trenton double-placed in the 100 and 200, where Hayden Griffin was fifth in the 100 with a time of 11.99 and sixth in the 200 with a time of 24.25.

We’ve made progress, but we still need to improve to get to where we want to be. They have the ability, but it’s gonna take some ‘want-to’ this off-season. It’s been an enjoyable year and everybody will be back again next year to give it another shot. We’ll also add some freshmen to the mix so competition for spots should improve.” Centralia won the team title with a score of 337, holding off runner-up Palmyra (348) and third-place South Harrison (361).

Due to current and impending weather conditions the West Yellow Creek Bridge on Highway 5 near Humphreys has been re-opened. Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation are re-evaluating the local detour route to prevent motorists from traveling on frequently flooded roadways. A new closure date and detour route have not yet been established.
Contractors from Boone Construction Company of Columbia plan to have work completed on the West Yellow Creek Bridge in early July. The West Locust Creek Bridge on Highway 5 near Milan, is scheduled to close on Monday, May 13 with a planned reopening in early August. Both bridges will be closed from mid-May through early July.
Hepatitis C Test Available The Grundy County Health Department will be offering rapid Hepatitis C Virus antibody testing on Friday, May 17. Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver that results from the Hepatitis C Virus. Most people who become infected develop a chronic or lifelong infection which, over time, can cause serious health problems, including liver disease, liver failure and even liver cancer. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C, however, new and improved treatments are available. Most people with Hepatitis C do not have symptoms and do not know they are infected, with symptoms of chronic Hepatitis C infection sometimes taking years to develop. The only way to know if a person has Hepatitis C is to be tested. The testing requires a
finger stick to collect a blood sample and results are known within 20 to 40 minutes. Testing is recommended for certain groups, including those who were born from 1945 to 1965; those who donated blood or organs before 1992; those who have ever injected drugs, even if it was just one time years ago; those who have certain medical conditions such as liver disease and HIV; those who have abnormal liver tests or liver disease; those who have been exposed to blood from a person who has Hepatitis C; those who are on hemodialysis; and those who are born to a mother with Hepatitis C. The cost for the test is $20. To schedule an appointment, persons are asked to contact the health department at 660359-4196.
Veterans Help Available A veterans service officer will be in Trenton two times during May to assist with VA paperwork and answer questions. The service officer will be at the Trenton Hy-Vee on Monday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at the VFW Hall from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, May 10. Those needing assistance are reminded to bring a copy of their DD-214 and all VA paperwork they may have. A veterans center counselor will also be at the VFW Hall on Friday, May 10 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The counselor will be available to help with PTSD and re-adjustment counseling.
Discharged and active military are welcome to use this service. Transportation to VA medical appointments is provided free of charge, making runs primarily to Kansas City on Wednesday. Veterans needing transportation to their appointments can call 359-2078. Those making arrangements for transportation are asked to provide their name, the last four numbers of their Social Security number, the date and destination of travel and the number of persons who will be going.

SENATE PASSES ITS VERSION OF STATE BUDGET On April 24, the Missouri Senate passed the 13 bills that compose the state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year. Now that the Senate and House of Representatives have each passed their respective versions of the budget, a conference committee will meet to discuss any discrepancies. Both bodies must approve identical versions of the state budget by May 10. The governor will then consider which parts of the budget to sign into law, and which parts, if any, to veto and send back to the Legislature. The 2020 fiscal year begins on July 1. As approved by the Senate, the 2020 state budget covers approximately $29.753 billion in public funding. About one-third of the budget comes from the federal government, with stipulations on where and how the money can be spent. Another third goes toward general revenue, the state’s discretionary spending account. The final third is targeted spending, or money that is designated for a specific state department or a particular project or purpose.
In its version of the budget, the Senate chose to fully fund the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s foundation formula for the third year in a row while also providing an additional $10 million for school transportation. $26.3 million goes toward workforce training programs, and $28 million is directed toward public four-year colleges. A bonding plan will finance $301 million worth of bridge replacements and repairs, with an additional $50 million transfer from general revenue to the state road fund and $35 million of matching funding for local transportation projects. This preliminary budget prioritizes what I believe are two of the most important services of state government: effective education and reliable infrastructure. 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.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Time For Spring Cleaning It’s clean-up week in Trenton and spring is a great time to take stock of our property and get things presentable again after an unusually long and hard winter. Last week there were citywide garage sales that allowed residents to clean some unwanted and unused items out of their houses while allowing still others to, dare I say it, hoard a few more things. I’m as bad as anybody in putting things aside that I think I really need but will probably end up never using again. Something for the kids to look forWendell Lenhart ward to. While not only helping ourselves, it also helps make our community more presentable for persons traveling to and through here for the rest of the year. And with graduation coming next week for Trenton High School and North Central Missouri College, there will be a lot of people in town. Do your part to make your property and everything around it look presentable to those who will be visiting here. It will also add value to your property. ##### While reading the minutes and actions of Trenton’s Building and Nuisance Board, I am thankful for the city’s actions in getting dilapidated and dangerous buildings either fixed up or torn down. It’s unfortunate that we have property owners who are unwilling to take the pride of keeping their properties in good condition, both structurally and in appearance. I appreciated the city’s actions and, if anything, I wish they could be more aggressive in getting nuisances abated and building torn down. I know there are several steps that must be followed in dealing with the owners and their properties and they have been more than willing to work with owners who will invest the time and money to fix up their properties. But there are others who seem to be doing whatever they can to keep from having to make the proper investment in what they own and try to game the system by dragging things out. The city has been willing to take owners to court as a last resort and, eventually, that seems to finally work. But is sure takes some time. I hope the judges and the court system can see the true intentions of these people and not give them extension after extension when they are not making the effort to make the needed improvements. Improving the appearance and safety of houses and buildings throughout our community helps us all. It’s a shame some owners can’t see that and they have to be forced to do what they should responsibly be doing on their own.

A Fire Is More Than Just A Flame by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News
The tragic fire at Notre Dame has reminded me of conversations with a couple of my colleagues over the years about the difference in covering a fire versus covering a flame. Our discussions provide an interesting perspective to coverage of the "Ride the Ducks" tragedy. So much of journalism focuses on the details of we call "breaking news" -- a fire, hurricane, crime or sinking of a boat. But in public-policy journalism, we look for underlying policy issues and special interest motivations. "A fire is more than just a flame," is how a dear friend, Wes Pippert, recently described the perspective that we public-policy reporters bring to our coverage. He had been a White House correspondent for the United Press International wire service covering a statehouse, Congress, the White House and later the Middle East before becoming a colleague on the MU Journalism School as director of the Washington Reporting Program. As we discussed, so often the flame of a "breaking news" event in government and politics actually is an orchestrated event to distract news attention from the real story. More importantly, sometimes a real fire raises deeper issues than just the immediate facts of a political scandal or event. That was the topic of a discussion I had in Moscow 15 years ago with another MU Journalism School friend, the late Stuart Loory. He joined our faculty after a distinguished career in journalism as a leading newspaper reporter, CNN's Washington managing editor and then a top CNN news executive. Stuart was working with journalism students in Moscow where he had been a reporter and bureau chief. Although he did not use the phrase "a fire is more than just a flame," it reflected the focus in an assignment he gave to his Moscow students. At the time, an historic building outside the Kremlin walls burned down. Stuart had his students dig into why the Russian government failed to shave fire protection for such an important site. A major issue involved private interests who could
gain from destruction of the site to make it available for private, profit-making development. Stuart reflected on the inadequate fire protection of the Bolshoi Theater where his wife had been a ballerina. Shortly later, a six-year renovation of the historic building was undertaken that included fire protection. If he were alive, I'm sure Stuart would be asking why the French government allowed Notre Dame to be without adequate fire protection for so many decades. That brings me to last summer's tragedy of "Ride the Ducks" boat that cost so many lives. There was immediate coverage to uncover the facts that led to the deaths. What were the weather warnings? Were the passengers wearing life vests? But I wondered about water-safety questions that arose after of absorption the Water Patrol into the Highway Patrol. I also pondered that if the legislature can debate safety requirements for private boats like sitting on the railings, what about regulating public use of altered military water craft? The growing emphasis instant news was at the core of my discussions with Wes and Stuart. Part of the reason involves the financial pressures on news organizations to reduce staff. Another factor involves the increasing pressure on reporters to blog and tweet throughout the day in an effort to attract a digital audience. That leaves less time and mental attention to pursue the fire behind the single flame. As a decades-long broadcast reporter, I confess falling into that trap of adrenaline excitement from a breaking story like the Eric Greitens' scandal without focusing on the more important policy issues. On the positive side, I've seen in recent years growing reporting efforts to dig into the underlying factors of major statehouse issues. For example, there have been detailed stories on the influence of special-interest money in the state. The Associated Press has launched an effort to put statehouse issues into a national context. I realize the public may be less interested in these longer stories that lack drama. But so often understanding the full context of a fire is more important than the specific details of a single flame.
Missouri’s Small Family Farms Show Dramatic Growth In Census Of Agriculture by Eric Bohl, Director of Public Affairs Missouri Farm Bureau

Small farms are booming in Missouri, and nearly all farms in the state are family-owned. Missourians are proud of our family farming tradition, and new data prove the tradition remains strong. Every five years the U.S. Department of Agriculture conducts a nationwide census. USDA released findings from the 2017 census in early April. Results also show that more young people are getting involved in agriculture across Missouri. Although 20 states are physically larger than Missouri, the Census of Agriculture found that our state is second in the nation in total number of farms, with 95,320. The only state with more farms is Texas, but it has the advantage of being about four times the size of Missouri. The census also found that more than 96 percent of Missouri farms are considered family-owned. These data together show that small family farms are much more common in Missouri than most other states. Small farms are not just hanging
on in Missouri – they’re showing dramatic growth. Over the past five years, the number of farms under 10 acres grew by 41 percent and farms from 10 to 50 acres grew by 10 percent. Farming is also a more common profession in Missouri than most other states. Missouri is second only to only Texas in the number of female farmers, farmers with military service, and those classified as young farmers or new and beginning farmers. Media coverage of the census primarily focused on the average age of farmers. The national average age of primary producers on a farm climbed by one year in this census to 59.4 years old. Missouri’s average age was almost identical, at 59.3. However, there are some signs of a youth movement in Missouri, with the number of farmers aged 25 to 34 increasing seven percent since 2012. Judging by the data, many of these younger farmers are getting
involved in livestock and specialty crops, which often have lower barriers to entry than row crop operations. The average age of Missouri farmers in the hog and pig category was only 46.4 years old, nearly 13 years younger than the average. Farmers younger than age 35 made up over one-quarter of this category. Young farmers also appear to be flocking to poultry and eggs. Missouri has more than doubled its number of egg laying operations over the last 20 years, from 3,707 to 9,052. In the same time, the number of poultry farms and turkey farms have each increased by 40 percent. Much of this growth has been driven by younger farmers, with the sector’s average age standing at 49.5 years. While the Census of Agriculture’s mountains of information can overwhelm anyone, the bottom line is simple. Small family farming is thriving in Missouri, and opportunities abound for those willing to work hard, whether they are young or old.

NW Missouri Horticulture by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist VEGETABLE POLLINATION Occasionally a vegetable gardener will ask me if closely related plants will cross and affect the flavor of the vegetables they are growing in their garden. Usually this is not a problem, unless you are saving seed. Normally even if two plants will cross, the flavor of the vegetable in question will remain the same as its parent for the summer that you planted it. If you save seed, however, the flavor of future crops may change, if new genetics have been introduced through cross-pollination. Some exceptions do exist. One example is corn, where pollen from another type of corn can affect the type you are growing. Plant breeders refer to this trait as xenia. An example of this is where pollen from field corn affects the sweet corn you are growing and produces starchy kernels instead of sugary ones. The Cucurbitaceae (melons, pumpkins, squash, and gourds) usually do not have this problem. Some of them will not cross naturally anyway. But seed savers have to know what they are doing and insure that possible crosses are guarded against. Still, rumors about same-year flavor changes in the plant you are growing persist. One, for example, holds that cucumbers will cross with cantaloupes and ruin their flavor. These plants are both in the same genus (Cucumis), but belong to different species. Normally, these will not

cross, and even if they did, it is doubtful that the flavor would be affected in that current year. Poor flavor in cantaloupes could be due to either genetics or environment. If your cantaloupes have a problem with flavor, try changing varieties, or look for some cultural or environmental factor that is causing the problem. Watermelons do not cross with other vine crops, except for citron, which is closely related. Since most gardeners don’t grow citrons, that’s usually not a concern. Pumpkin, squash and gourds present another problem, which can be complex. Some will cross, while others will not. Again, I would not be too concerned about it unless you are saving seed. If you are doing that, you should get a good book on the subject and learn what to do. The reason that pumpkins, squash and gourds present a complex situation is that the common classifications do not follow the botanical divisions between species. In other words, what we commonly call pumpkins may occur in several species. In summary, except for corn, don’t worry about cross-pollination affecting the flavor of this year’s crop. However, if you are saving seed, it is best to get a good book on the topic and follow the rules closely.

Tips For Reducing Yard Waste Yard waste makes up a third of municipal solid waste, behind paper products and food. Estimates show that the average lawn produces about 1,500 pounds of grass clippings each year. A mature tree drops about 3,600 pounds of leaves annually. With lawn mowing and gardening season in full swing, it is a good time to look at how to reduce yard waste, said University of Missouri Extension horticulture specialist David Trinklein. Missouri law bans yard waste from landfills. Yard waste takes up valuable space and generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas, as it decomposes. “Finding an environmentally sound way to dispose of yard waste has become even more important,� said Trinklein. “To promote good environmental stewardship, the Composting Council Research and Education Foundation set May 5-11, 2019, as International Compost Awareness Week.� Fortunately, turning lawn and garden waste into compost takes little more effort than bagging and hauling it away, said Trinklein. Good compost consists mostly of decomposed or partially decomposed plant and animal residues. It improves the physical condition and fertility of soil when added to the landscape or garden. It also benefits poorly drained soils low in organic matter. “Compost speeds natural decomposition under controlled conditions,� he said. Raw organic materials turn into compost by the action of organisms in the soil. Bacteria increase rapidly during the first part of decomposition. Then, actinomycetes (filamentous bacteria), fungi and protozoans go to work. After much of the carbon in the compost is used and the temperature of the pile falls, centipedes, millipedes, sow bugs, earthworms and other organisms continue the process. As microorganisms decompose the organic materials, their body heat raises the temperature in the pile dramatically. The center of a properly made compost pile should reach a 110 to 140
degrees Fahrenheit in four to five days. The pile begins “settling,� a sign that it is working properly. The pH of the pile is acidic at first, at a level of 4.0 to 4.5. When completed, the pH rises to about 7.0 to 7.2. Heat kills some weed seeds and disease organisms in the pile’s hottest area. Trinklein recommends turning the pile properly to move heat to all of the pile. See the MU Extension publication “Making and Using Compost,� available for free download at extension. missouri.edu/p/g6956(opens in new window). Proper composting should kill harmful microbes such as E. coli and Salmonella. Monitor the temperature of the pile. Compost from piles that do not heat to 140 degrees should be treated as “raw� compost. Food safety regulations require a 150-day waiting period after applying raw compost before vegetables can be harvested. Compost should be dark and crumbly when ready to use, Trinklein said. The original composted items will not be recognizable. “Compost contains nutrients. However, its greatest benefit to gardeners is the improvement it makes in soil characteristics. Consider it a valuable soil amendment rather than a fertilizer.� Organic matter in compost improves heavy clay soils by binding soil particles into “crumbs.� This makes the soil easier to work and improves aeration, root penetration and water infiltration. It also reduces crusting of the soil surface. In sandy soils, additional organic matter helps soil retain nutrients and water. Compost increases activity of soil microorganisms that release nutrients and other growthpromoting materials. Add compost each year to build good soil, said Trinklein. The best time to add compost to the vegetable or flower garden is during fall or spring tilling. Add it to the soil when planting trees, shrubs, annuals or perennials. Compost serves as an excellent mulch or top-dressing around flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. If used as mulch, the compost need not be completely finished.
The Dandelion: A Tenacious Perennial The lowly dandelion announces spring’s arrival with a spackling of bright yellow blooms. Some consider the dandelion the scourge of lawns. Others savor its greens as a vegetable. Its sunny blooms give dandelion wine its unique flavor.
“Either way, the dandelion is an interesting and tenacious perennial plant,� says University of Missouri Extension horticulture specialist Michele Warmund. Dandelions bloom in spring and fall. Bees and other insects collect pollen from the blooms,

although most of the pollen grains are infertile. The white, puffy seed head at the end of the scape contains many brown fruits called cypselae. The pappus, a feathery attachment on the cypselae, aids in the dispersal of seeds. “The fleshy taproots of dandelion are fascinating or nightmarish,� says Warmund. They grow up to a foot long. When wounded, they fight back by growing callus tissue with two to five more shoots. Warmund recommends chemical control over digging or pulling roots. Apply post-emergent products containing 2,4-D in spring and fall. Dandelion seeds brought on
the Mayflower were planted in the American colonies as a food crop rich in vitamins and minerals. Native Americans used dandelions for a variety of maladies. Myths about blowing on dandelion seed heads also provide intrigue, says Warmund. For example, if all seeds disappear after one strong puff, you are loved. If they remain, your “intended� has doubts. The number of remaining seed heads also might indicate the number of children a young woman would bear. For older people, the remaining seed heads tell the number of years remaining in their lives, according to myth.

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 CONNECTING RURAL MISSOURI In the 1930s, rural electrification was a game-changer for folks across the country. It completely changed the future for millions of Americans, bringing their lives into the 20th Century. Now we face a similar moment in our nation’s history and the history of rural America. In the world we now live in, everything seems to revolve around high-speed broadband internet access. This isn’t just about streaming movies; it’s about millions of Americans having access to reliable, highspeed internet for telecommuting, telemedicine, precision agriculture, online college courses, and just about any business activity today. This is about driving our economy forward into the 21st Century by connecting rural America. Last week, I met with stakeholders from across north Missouri who are actively engaged in expanding high-speed broadband service throughout our state. They know the importance of being connected, the roadblocks that stand in our way, and what it will take to get it done. Expanding high-speed broadband access across north Missouri and the rest of the state comes with a high cost, but it will pay dividends for years to come. This is why my congressional colleagues and I are working to ensure grant and loan programs help bring high-speed internet access to those without. In fact, the USDA released a report this week which showed that building out high-speed broadband to farms and ranches alone could offer at least a $47 billion boost to our economy, every year. This shows just how critical this is to the future success of our econ-
omy in rural America. One thing I heard clearly in our meeting is that the federal government must help—not hinder—the build-out of high-speed broadband. We need accurate, up-to-date maps reflecting who has access to reliable, fast internet and who doesn’t. We need to make sure our rules and regulations ensure that federal money is being spent appropriately and effectively. Companies awarded federal money must provide the speeds they have committed to offer and they should be the ones on the hook if they don’t, not folks who live in the areas they promised to serve. We also must make sure rural America has access to "highspeed" internet, not prohibitively slow and unreliable internet. There are a lot of folks in north Missouri that can get something masquerading as usable internet, but don’t have access to the fast, reliable high-speed broadband they need. The speeds that used to be adequate 15 years ago don't cut it today. And what’s usable today, won’t be 15 years from now. Our policies should reflect that reality. This problem is complicated, but we must solve it. Folks affected by it know exactly how significant this problem is every time they receive a “buffering� notification while trying to complete an online course or carry out even routine business online. I do believe we are making great strides towards getting the high-speed internet access we need, but we still have a long way to go. We cannot stop now; the future of north Missouri depends on it.

Dear Annie: We raised our children in church, and then lost our religion. There were so many reasons for that, but there's no going back to any church in the future. Part of our family, a very small part, accepts this. But most have a problem with it. Adding insult to injury, we live in the Bible Belt, and having no religion is very suspect here. The political climate makes all of this even more unbearable. We can't leave; this is our home. We can't express an opinion with some family members because we'd get disowned or shunned or both. Some of our relationships with close family members have never been the same since we left church, which was many years ago. All of this only reinforces our decision. Who wants anything to do with this type of closed-mindedness? But we have tremendous guilt over raising our children in this way, and then walking away from it. Our only defense is that we were young and dumb and didn't think for ourselves until much later. We were obedient children. We did
what we were told, and this is where we ended up. Religion in the Bible Belt is more than belief; it's a cultural inheritance. How do we move on and keep our roots, too? One child is distant toward us, but the others are forgiving. It seems like so much of our energy is focused on the distant child, rather than enjoying the others who get where we're coming from and feel as we do. We feel emotionally blackmailed by this child. I hope you can shed some light on this for me. I love life and feel connected to the universe in so many ways. I just want to spend the remainder of my time enjoying the journey, seeking ways to help others and being truly present in the moment. Thank you, Annie! I love your column and your thoughtful advice. -- Ironically Blessed Dear Ironically Blessed: You sound too blessed to be stressed about what other people are thinking about you. When you raised your children, you did the best you could with what you thought was right at the time. Then

Spotify goes super platinum Apple does not report subscriber numbers regularly, but sometimes updates them in quarterly earnings calls. Apple Music is a big part of the company’s overall shift in emphasis away from the iPhone, a fantastically successful product over the last 12 years that is starting to mature. Now Apple wants to be all about “services” such as streaming music and video. Spotify boasts many more users on its free tier, bringing its total to about 217 million monthly users. It also competes with streaming service Pandora, which has 66 million users but only about 6 million paying subscribers.
Apple Music may be quickly gaining paying subscribers since its debut nearly four years ago, but popular music streaming service Spotify is still the king. Spotify said Monday that it has more than 100 million paying subscribers, a milestone that it reached just three months after announcing it hit the 96 million member mark. Apple Music trails behind with 50 million paying subscribers for its $10-per-month service — the same price as Spotify’s paid option. But Apple has been catching up quickly. The company reached the 50 million-paying-user mark in less than four years — a feat that took Spotify a decade.

you changed your mind about what you thought was right for yourself and your family. The issue is not whether it was right or wrong to raise your children in a church. The issue is how to let go of this guilt and to give yourself a break about the choices you made in the past and instead focus on the choices you are making right now. Guilt and shame will not lead you to your goal of wanting to love the life you live. If you want to spend your time enjoying the journey and living in the present moment, then continue focusing on the positive and all the beauty of life. No matter what your religion, your goal of wanting to help others is commendable. Even though it is painful that one of your children is distant from you now, continue to show your child compassion and love. Hopefully, he or she will come around. In the words of Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter."

INSURANCE CORNER by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO
Covering What Medicare Does Not Anyone approaching age 65 who will be enrolled in Medicare Part B should consider shopping for Medicare supplement insurance, popularly known as "Medigap" insurance. These policies, which are sold by private insurance companies, are designed to provide reimbursement for out-ofpocket costs that are not covered by Medicare. Although Medicare covers many health-care costs, patients must still pay Medicare's coinsurance and deductibles. There are also some medical services that Medicare does not cover. A person's right to purchase Medi gap insurance is guaranteed during a six-month interval that begins on the first day of the month in which he or she is 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B regardless of the condition of his or her health. Premiums vary among insurance companies, but the benefits of each standard Medigap plan are always the same. People who have a Medicare Advantage plan cannot get a Medigap plan. Robert Barnes Insurance Agency specializes in individual and group health insurance, annuities, long term care plans, and Medicare supplements. To learn more, please call 660-359- 5973. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.

DEATHS Wanda Lynn Eckert Wanda Lynn Eckert, a 66year-old resident of Laredo, died at 12:15 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at her residence. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. today (Friday, May 3, 2019) at Whitaker-Eads Funeral Home in Trenton. Burial was in Wallace Cemetery, east of Chula. Mrs. Eckert was born on July 31, 1952 on the family farm southwest of Mercer, the daughter of Hearl D. and Stella M. Clark Stark. She was of the Assembly of God and Pentecostal faith. Mrs. Eckert’s family moved to Idaho, where she attended first through fourth grades. In the spring of 1962 she moved back to Missouri, living east of Laredo and then moved to Mercer in the fall. After her sophomore year she dropped out of school for two years. The family moved to Harris in the summer of 1970 and she went back to school, graduating from Newtown-Harris High School with the class of 1972. After graduating the family moved to a farm at Jamesport and in 1973 she began her schooling at the Chillicothe Beauty Academy. She was a hairstylist for 27 years and had her own beauty salon for a few
years. She was married on July 12, 1980 to Charles Ray Eckert in the home of her parents. Mrs. Eckert worked at Eastview Manor Care Center for 12 years as a CNA, hairstylist and laundry aide. She took any job very serious and she loved taking care of the elderly. She always said that that was their home and that they should be treated like she would want to be cared for, with dignity and respect. Surviving relatives include her husband of the home; a brother, Jack Stark of Warr Acres, OK; sisters, Naomi McCullough and her husband, Randy of Lexington and Priscilla Ethridge and her husband, Leonard of Bolivar; and a goddaughter, Jennifer Busch of Brookfield. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Martha Pearl, Deloris June, Mary Virginia Bunch and Sharon Ann Cattlett; and brothers Robert Lee, Joseph David and Harold Wayne Stark. Memorial donations are suggested to the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for Share-aThon or Bible-Thon and may be left with or mailed to the funeral home.

A perfect score on most any test would be quite an accomplishment for a high school student. But in the case of Grundy R-5 junior Robert Urich, his perfect ACT score of 36 puts him in a category achieved by very few others who take the test given to college-bound students. According to U.S. Department of Education statistics, less than 1 percent of students who took the ACT in 2018 (0.195 percent to be exact) recorded a perfect score on the test. The 2018 average score in Missouri and nationwide was 20.8. Urich is the son of Mark and Kristi Urich of Laredo.
