Student Cellphone Use To Be Studied
Attendance Requirement Removed Handbooks, normally a quick action item, took up several minutes of discussion during Tuesday night’s meeting of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education. At the center of the discussion was a middle school/high school policy that requires students to have a 90 percent attendance rate to participate in events such as dances, assemblies and nonacademic-related trips. The 2018-19 school year was the first time the policy had been in place which, according to Assistant Principal Kasey Bailey, was implemented in an effort to encourage better attendance and help the district meet the state APR attendance requirement of 90 percent. In past meetings, board member Dr. David Whitaker had voiced his concern about the requirement, particularly involving students being unable to attend prom - an issue discussed at a meeting in April. Dr. Whitaker again brought up his concern, stating that while he understands the 90 percent requirement for athletics because of MSHSAA rules, he did not think students should be penalized from participation due to not meeting the local attendance policy. Board member Dorothy Taul said she had received several calls about the policy as well. Those concerns resulted in the board voting 3-2 to eliminate the policy, with Dr. Whitaker, Ms. Taul and Corey Leeper voting in favor while Doug Franklin and Cliff Roeder voted no. Marcie Cutsinger and Brandon Gibler were absent. Franklin said he couldn’t see throwing out the policy because of a few students who are unhappy with it, adding that eliminating the policy would be
holding athletes/music/scholar bowl participants to a different standard than students who participate in other types of activities. Roeder said the district should not be rewarding students who don’t meet the standards set by the district, noting that “school is about education” and that extracurricular activities “were a privilege.” There was also much discussion regarding cellphones in the classroom. It was noted that cellphones are to only be used during the lunch hour and/or during “pass periods” between classes. However, exit interviews conducted with personnel leaving the district have revealed an issue with cellphones being allowed in the classroom by some teachers and not by others. Bailey said

that he has visited with teachers about the situation and encouraged them to send students to the office if there is an issue. He stated he would be in favor of not allowing the phones in the classroom. Dr. Whitaker and Roeder both expressed support of no cellphones in the classroom while Ms. Taul said she would favor letting teachers make the call on whether or not the phones can be used. Roeder said teachers are in the classroom to teach and shouldn’t have to deal with the cellphone issue. It was decided to have Bailey and TMS Principal Daniel Gott gather information on what other school districts are doing and bring it back to the board for consideration. The board wants to

The board set a special meeting for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 27 to close out the 2018-19 school year as well as approve the proposed 2019-20 school budget. Superintendent Dan Wiebers presented the preliminary budget, which shows a $1,766,328 surplus overall (revenues over expenditures). However, the operational budget shows a deficit of around $161,511. The overall surplus, Wiebers said, is the result of the $7 million the district will receive this year to pay for the construction project. As for the operational budget deficit, Wiebers said he estimated revenues on the low end and expenditures on the high end, but added he anticipates expenditures will come in lower than what is being projected. In other business, the board: • reviewed the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan, which is developed by school leaders, staff, students and patrons and approved by the board. The plan is used to set goals and standards for the district to achieve over a five-year period. The current CSIP was adopted in 2017 and expires in 2022. • approved renewal of the district contract with Newton Alliance LLC (Catapult Learning) for summer school through the summer of 2022. The cost will remain unchanged at $525 times the average daily student attendance.

Board Rejects Mower Purchase To buy or not to buy? That was the question that dominated the discussion concerning the purchase of a new mower during a Wednesday evening meeting of the Trenton Park Board. The board, which had been considering the purchase of a new mower for the park department, ended up in a tie vote and will not be purchasing a new mower that had been budgeted for this year. The discussion on the mower had begun at the May meeting and at that meeting and Wednesday’s meeting, Board President Duane Helmandollar told members he feels the department needs to either keep the department’s existing three mowers or get more money from the one they would sell if a new one was purchased. Helmandollar said that most of the type of mowers the department uses can be run for 2,500 to 3,000 hours. The mowers currently owned by the department include two 2015 Dixie Chopper models that have around 600 hours on them and a 2011 Dixie Chopper mower with around 800 hours that is used as a backup. He said a mower with 700 hours should last another eight years and parts are still available for them, if needed. Board members Gary Schuett and Gary Berry advocated purchasing a new Dixie Chopper. Schuett reminded the board Dixie Choppers are no longer being made and this will be the last chance to buy a new one. He said purchasing one would set up the department for many years with quality mowers. “The reliability is great and the speed is unsurpassed,” Schuett explained. “It’s about 40 percent faster than the previous mowers, so we would be saving about 130 hours per year on two mowers. That’s a great deal for the taxpayer.” Schuett also pointed out that Park Superintendent Jason Shuler is trained to maintain and repair Dixie Choppers and that his research has shown parts for the mowers will be available well into the future. “This is an opportunity to get our fleet as modern as we can,” he said. It was explained that the city planned to purchase the 2011 mower at a price of $5,500 and would use it to mow at the Trenton Municipal Airport. While bids were received for several mowers, the only one discussed was for the Dixie Chopper, with Landmark Lawn Equipment LLC of Trenton submitting a bid for $11,500 (the amount See Park, Page 7

Spring Coaching Positions
Croy Resumes Track Coaching Post There are four state championship banners hanging in the Trenton High School gym. The most recent was hung by the boys track and field team in 2008 - a team coached by Wes Croy. Trenton’s state championship-winning track and field coach left that position after the 2014 season before becoming the school’s athletic director - a position he still serves to this day. On Tuesday night, the Trenton R-9 School Board allowed Croy to return to coaching the boys track and field team after current coach Lysander Overstreet left for a position at Raymore-Peculiar. “It’s something I’ve always enjoyed doing,� Croy said of coaching track. “When the opportunity came up with Coach Overstreet leaving, it was something I was interested in. We want to do what we can to keep our program strong, keep our numbers up and be competitive every time we step out on the track.� Croy coached the Trenton boys track and field team from 2006 to 2014. During his first run as Trenton’s track coach,
the Bulldogs won four district titles in addition to the state championship and, at one point, Trenton had a 27-meet winning streak in regular season events. The move to hire Croy marked the lone coaching change for Trenton’s spring sports, giving the school some much-needed normalcy after a tumultuous overhaul of the fall and winter sports coaching assignments earlier this year. Travis Mullenix returns as the school’s boys golf coach, Joel Hultman returns to head the baseball program, David Sager is back to lead the boys tennis team and Chris Parks will once again head up the girls track and field program. Parks is currently the longest tenured varsity head coach at Trenton, having guided the Trenton girls track team continuously since the 2002 season. “Stability is really important for us right now,� Croy said. “It’s been a year where we’ve had a lot of turnover. I think we have done a really good job of finding quality people to fill the spots that we had open and I’m excited about every coaching hire that we have made.

But I also think that there are a lot of positives that, in the spring, our kids know who their coaches are. They don’t have to get used to someone new during those seasons.� Trenton also rounded out the assistant coaching positions at the high school and wrapped
up hires for the middle school coaching positions as well. Currently, the lone coaching position left to be filled at Trenton is a fourth assistant coach for football, which is expected to be addressed at the next board of education meeting.

St. Louis Blues 4, Boston Bruins 1
Blues Grab First NHL Title BOSTON (AP) — Blues goalie Jordan Binnington was waiting patiently, as NHL rookies learn to do, while the Stanley Cup was passed from teammate to teammate across the recently conquered ice of the new Boston Garden. Thirteen St. Louis players took their turn with the iconic trophy, raising it above their heads, lowering it for a kiss, posing for a picture. Finally, understudy Jake Allen gave the starter a little shove, and the Game 7 star timidly skated forward to receive the Cup and cap off one of the great rookie runs in NHL history. Binnington stopped 32

shots, and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Ryan O'Reilly scored for the fourth straight game Wednesday night to lead the Blues to a 4-1 victory over Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and their first NHL championship. "To bring a Cup to a city for a first time is crazy. Tough to put into words," forward Jaden Schwartz said on the ice as players and team officials took their turns caressing their new bauble. "These fans have been waiting a long time. It's exciting. We're going to have a lot of fun with it." O'Reilly added an assist, Alex Pietrangelo had a goal and an assist and Brayden Schenn and Zach Sanford also scored for St. Louis, which had the worst record in the league in early January but won 30 of their final 49 regular-season games.
"Once we pulled it together, we were tough to beat," said coach Craig Berube, who took over when Mike Yeo was fired in November. He is the fourth coach in the past 11 years hired in midseason to lead his team to the NHL title. Behind Binnington, the Blues eliminated the Jets in six games, the Stars in seven and then knocked out the Sharks in six to reach the final for the first time since 1970. That year, the Blues lost in Boston when Bobby Orr flew through the air after scoring his Cupclincher — a goal that is commemorated in bronze outside the building. "It's pretty crazy how things come full circle like that," Sanford said. "You know, this team deserves it more than anyone, I think. This is the best group of guys ever. We put in the work, and we earned it." The Blues won for the third time in Boston this series and tied an NHL record with their 10th road victory in this postseason.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Lots To Do In Trenton People who say there’s nothing to do in Trenton aren’t looking very hard. Activities this weekend include all the events associated with the annual Gooseberry Festival. It begins on Friday with tennis and “Music Under the Stars” and continues with lots of other activities throughout the weekend. The Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra will also hold an event on Saturday, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Trenton First Baptist Church. Other activities are available this Wendell Lenhart weekend at Crowder State Park just west of town. And there should be even more celebrating going on in town with Father’s Day falling on Sunday. Next weekend there even more stuff is taking place in Trenton. Chalk on the Walk will be held in downtown Trenton on Friday, June 21. Artists in several categories will be using colored chalk to produce artwork on the sidewalks throughout the downtown area. Work will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. Food will be available beginning at 4 p.m. and persons can walk around and view the completed artwork. Trenton Cruise Night will also be held on Friday night with vehicles on display in the downtown area as well as cruising out to Crowder State Park and back. Saturday night, June 22, brings the Wheels and Wine Car Show to the Black Silo Winery in east Trenton. Classic cars will be on display from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and members of the public will have the chance to judge the vehicles in several different categories. The event is a benefit for Camp Rainbow which is held at Crowder Park this summer. Even more things are scheduled later this summer with Fourth of July fireworks, the MidAmerica Music Festival and the North Central Missouri Fair. ##### I saw an interesting story this past week. The state legislature in California is proposing to tax residents who don’t have health insurance and then use those funds to provide health insurance coverage for illegal immigrants in the state. It will be interesting to see how that works. Taxing people who don’t have health insurance in order to provide it to other people who also don’t have health insurance. Seems counterproductive.

What Others Are Saying... Digital Leviathan Ida Tarbell earned a reputation as a muckraker for exposés that resulted in the eventual breakup of the Standard Oil Company.
Guest Editorials More than a century later, Sen. Josh Hawley carries more of an establishment aura, with his education at elite universities and experience as a law clerk for the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Both Tarbell and Hawley share a common trait in their skepticism of the leviathan of the day: Standard Oil in 1900 and Big Tech, including Google and Facebook, in 2019. At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Hawley turned the focus from the Russia investigation to Big Tech companies and his concerns about anti-competitive conduct, potential bias and privacy violations. Unlike the Mueller report, Hawley finds a more receptive audience on the other side of the aisle. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, hardly a political ally, expressed concern about the "handful of gatekeepers" that control search engines, online commerce and information sharing. Up until now, Hawley and like-minded lawmakers took aim at relatively low-hanging fruit, like data collection on children. Bigger issues loom on the horizon, with news that the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have agreed to divide up antitrust scrutiny of

Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple. These tech giants now find themselves in the regulatory crosshairs, with Facebook and Google seen as the most vulnerable to some sort of action. Few tears will be shed for companies that built up unprecedented influence in culture and politics, making them an easy target of the left and the right. Elected officials and regulators will have to tread carefully between concerns about perceived bias — one person's political leanings can be another's free expression — and look to broader issues of market dominance and the way search engine content is prioritized, personal data is collected and online ad revenue is directed primarily to Facebook and Google. Here Europe's regulation watchdog — another odd ideological bedfellow for American politicians who decry regulation — has taken a more aggressive role in trying to rein in Big Tech. The European Union recently fined Google for forcing customers to advertise exclusively through its AdSense service. These are issues Tarbell never encountered with Standard Oil. One new wrinkle is how technology companies offer plenty of shipping, searching and sharing services for free. This is not the normal business model for a monopoly that seeks to squelch competition. Perhaps regulators and legislative critics will find that free is still too expensive, that these companies exact a heavy price in the way that personal data is collected and shared, often without the knowledge of the end user. — St. Joseph News-Press

Vice President Babette Hill presided at the meeting and Twyla Keuhn served as treasurer pro-tem. Chaplain Deanna McCarter led the devotion, reading from Psalm 100. Meredith Black, a member of the sesquicentennial committee, gave a brief historical report. Mrs. Black worked at the PEO international headquarters in Des Moines, IA from 1972-77.

spouses have been invited. The program, “Charm Strings/Memory Strings,� was given by Betty Wimer. She told of “charm quilts,� which were popular during the early years of PEO, which began in 1869. Similar to the charm bracelets of the 1960s, charm strings/memory strings were a way to keep memories alive for the ladies in the 1860s. From that time until about the 1900’s, ladies would collect buttons and other small mementoes, stringing them together. Buttons were not to be purchased, but ratherthad to be gifts from other collectors, friends, family or suitors. According to folklore, when a young lady had gathered 999, the next button she collected would be from her Prince Charming, hence the name “charm string.� More than buttons could be included on a charm string. There is currently an example on display at the PEO executive office in Des Moines. Ms. Wimer also sang a song for the group, telling of a charm string. The next meeting will be held at 1 p.m. on July 11 at the home of Sue Holeman. Reports will be given on the Program of Continuing Education and the 2019 Convention of Missouri State Chapter.

INSURANCE CORNER by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO
Cut Medicare Costs Those with a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan would be wise to annually review their coverage, costs, and health-care needs with their insurance agents. In 2019, in particular, insurers are increasingly looking to lower premiums. However, the cost of doing so might be higher copayments for prescription drugs or smaller provider networks. While this trade-off may be acceptable to relatively healthy individuals, it could be more costly to have a plan with lower premiums if the insured has many health-care needs or requires expensive medications. Each year, those with Part D or Medicare Advantage coverage have the option of switching plans during open enrollment, which extends from October 15 to December 7. . Since Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, there are a number of differences between the plans, including costs, additional coverage (such as routine vision and dental, hearing, or wellness coverage), and rules for getting services. Not every plan may be available in the area where you live. ROBERT BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY specializes in individual and group health insurance, annuities, long term care plans, and Medicare supplements. To learn more, please call 660359-5973. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.

During the event, FFA members used communication technology to develop and refine an effective speech, with each student presenting their speech in competition at the conclusion of the academy. Kaci Persell, right, took second place in the beginning division. Attending the academy from Trenton were (in left photo) Allison Yoder, second from left on front row; Kaci Persell, second from right on front row; and Camdyn Leeper, second from left on back row.

TRADE TARIFFS BASED ON WHIMS COMPLICATE ECONOMIC OUTLOOKS At the start of his economic outlook for Missouri Ag Lenders Conference, Scott Brown said: Agriculture outlooks get harder when things are changing. He cited volatility in many issues. You probably know a couple facing rural Missouri this spring. Brown, a long-time University of Missouri livestock economist, sorts out commodity prices for livestock farmers. His reputation grows tracking prices. He responds to more requests for talks than anyone on-campus. This week, he faced a tough group: Ag Lenders. They lay out money to keep Missouri farms
going, year to year. Money folks flock to this meeting. A good lender depends on economic outlooks. Scott didn’t use his normal disclaimer: “I’m better at telling what happened last year than telling what will happen next year.� Scott and I benefited from our common mentor, Abner Womack, long-time MU ag economist. He taught both of us. Womack invented economic computer modeling in ag economics at USDA, Washington, D.C. He grasped early the need for complex computer analysis. Impact down on the farm start in what grows and is con-
sumed around the world. Womack was ahead of his time. USDA bosses weren’t ready to think that big and fast. So Womack looked for a new home. After interviews at several land-grant universities he found a home at MU. He built a group of talented economists. They became the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, or FAPRI. Soon, accurate outlooks from his computer model were sought in Washington. Congress needed data to rewrite Farm Bills every five years or so. Womack and his helpers went forth. That’s when Scott and I first worked together. He provided livestock outlooks. I wrote news releases in plain English, not economic jargon. Womack aided both of us. My job translated outlooks in terms understood by farmers and legislators. The huge baseline book and brief news stories were sought. That scene changed. Laws aren’t based as much on eco-
Trenton High School FFA officers attended LEAD officer training on May 29 in Trenton. During the event, officers took part in team-building and bonding opportunities, had the opportunity to increase their knowledge about advocating for agriculture and agriculture education, worked on their chapter’s Program of Activities, discussed guidelines for leading a chapter meeting and helped with planning an FFA event.

nomic facts now. Leaders can’t be bothered with tradition, policy or dollars. It’s politics. Scott doesn’t mention that much. He’s politically correct. One big economic uncertainty is in applying tariffs to often. Our president loves tariffs and trade wars. Proposed tariffs on products from Mexico left the U.S. economy in shock from one tweet late at night. No way to predict that. Scott’s comments based on tariffs aimed at Mexico, our No.1 farm trading partner, were imprecise. (Even computer models can’t shift and change as fast as whims from our head policy maker.) In fact, policy whim changed drastically, about 24 hours after Scott’s talk. Now there’s no tariff after all. Plenty of uncertainties remain. The economist told those for bankers to consider. Farmers must think uncertainty as well. Here are top concerns in livestock sales as told by Scott: 1. Meat supplies are grow-
ing and plentiful. (Too much lowers prices.) 2. Disease issues critical. (Asian Swine Flu cuts supply, boosts prices.) 3. Weather a key driver in livestock outlook. (Think drought, then floods.) 4. Domestic demand stays strong. (Look at a drop in jobs in the last report) 5. Trade deals and tariffs drive exports. (See loss of soybean exports to China.) In spite of all those, he gave strong outlooks, with ifs, for meats. At the end, Scott’s slide showed the long-term U.S. livestock farm income. Now, it’s just below $90 billion. From there an upward trendline ends at just above $90 billion in 2028. It’s optimistic. But, baselines we took to D.C. always included a note that all models assume normal weather. That seldom happens. Economists can’t predict the weather. Send your outlook to duanedailey7@gmail.com.
Some Farmers Looking For Alternative Crops Sunowers, Buckwheat And Cowpeas Can Be Productive In Missouri Unusually wet weather in Missouri during 2019 has created a situation where some farmers are looking for crops that can be planted later than corn or soybeans. Of course, in many parts of the state, soybeans are a reasonable midsummer crop, usually able to still produce a crop if planted by early July. However, there are some alternative crops that have been proven to work for planting a little later than soybeans and to be agronomically adapted to Missouri. Sunflowers, buckwheat and cowpeas are three fastmaturing crops that have a history of use in Missouri for late planting. Markets are the main challenge for each. A brief summary of these three crops is below. Producers are advised to check the label for any residual herbicides that may have been applied early in the season to make sure the herbicide(s) are compatible with the alternative crop being considered. Besides grain/oilseed crops, another option is for farmers to consider planting a summer annual forage crop instead of a crop for seed harvest. Also, cover crops can be considered that have dual use potential as forages, or simply to suppress weeds and protect the soil. Sunflowers Probably the most extensively used alternative to soybeans for midsummer planting in Missouri has been sunflowers. In general, sunflowers can be planted about 10?14 days later than soybeans, in part because they are faster maturing, and in part because they can tolerate a light frost in the fall better than soybeans and still keep growing. Sunflowers can usually tolerate a frost down to about 28 or 29 F. Sunflowers also have the advantage for midsummer
planting of being fairly drought-tolerant and vigorous in growth. A variety of herbicides are available for sunflowers, and they can be planted no-till or following tillage. As with other alternative crops, the primary limitation to their use is finding a market. Most farmers who have grown sunflowers in Missouri have marketed them for birdseed, either finding a birdseed packaging company or arranging to have them cleaned and bagged through a local seed cleaner. When growing sunflowers for the birdseed market, an oilseed variety should be used. Dozens of oilseed hybrid sunflower varieties are on the market, with most major seed companies offering at least a few varieties. Variety trial information on sunflowers is available at: https://www.sunflowernsa.com/growers/yield-and-survey/yield-trials-hybrid-disease-ratings/(opens in new window). For information on how to grow sunflowers, see: https://extension2.missouri.edu/g4701. Buckwheat Among the potential alternative grain crops that can be grown in Missouri, buckwheat is the fastestmaturing and the one that can be planted latest. In central Missouri, buckwheat has been successfully planted in early August for fall harvest. It could be planted up through late July in northern Missouri or as late as mid-August in southeast Missouri. Buckwheat is planted with a grain drill and grows rapidly, starting to develop flowers and then seeds within 30 days after emerging. The later it is planted in the summer, the faster it matures, but it also stays shorter, typically only getting about two feet tall if planted after
mid-July. In early summer, it will get a little taller, potentially up to 3 feet tall. Buckwheat grain is most often used for human food, and the majority of what is grown in the U.S. is shipped to Japan. A challenge in Missouri is the lack of local markets. Most buyers are a considerable distance away, so those interested in growing it either need to arrange for long-haul trucking or be creative in finding local uses, possible for the cover crop seed market. Relatively few varieties of buckwheat are available, but buyers using it for food may specify the variety to be grown. For information on how to grow buckwheat, see: https://extension2.missouri.edu/g4163. Cowpeas Among the large-seeded legume (pulse) crops, cowpeas are the best adapted to planting in Missouri in midsummer. Faster-maturing than soybeans and more drought-tolerant than soybeans, cowpeas have a history of being double-cropped after wheat in southeast Missouri. Cowpea varieties are of two general types: those that are more upright and bush-like, and those that are lower growing and more viney. The most commonly available cowpea variety in Missouri is iron clay cowpea, which is a viney type often sold for cover crop or forage use. For the seed market, other varieties are typically preferred. Cowpeas usually yield somewhat less than soybeans, and, as with other alternative crops, the market situation should be carefully researched before planting.

that had been budgeted) for one with a 74-inch deck. The lowest bid received was for a Grasshopper mower with a 72inch deck submitted by Barnes Baker of Trenton at a cost of $8,976. Helmandollar said the reliability of the Dixie Chopper and the assurance of parts availability even after the manufacturing of the mower ceases were two reasons he feels confident that the existing mowers can continue to be used for several years. When a vote was finally taken, it was a 3-3 tie, thus the motion, made by Schuett and seconded by Berry, failed. Those voting in favor of purchasing a new mower were Schuett, Berry and Beth Mack. Those voting against the purchase included Curtis Crawford, Lynda Lynch and Andy Cox. Sarah Allen was absent and Mary Peterson abstained, saying she didn’t know enough about the issue to vote. Mrs. Mack, who was attending her first meeting since being appointed to the board on Monday evening, said she would have abstained had she known that was option because she hadn’t had time to research the issue.

approved on an 8-0 vote. The company will work with the city on additional water line replacement it is planning on Ninth Street between the railroad bridge and Kitty Street. City Administrator Ron Urton said the state, as part of its resurfacing project on Ninth Street next year, has decided to replace more sidewalks along the corridor than had originally been planned. As a result, the city has decided to move forward with replacing water lines on the south side of Ninth Street between Shanklin and Harris avenues, Highland and Kumler streets and from Rural Street to a point approximately 370-feet east of Rural Street. It is estimated the cost of that project will be just over $121,000, although the final cost won’t be known until bids are sought. Money for the project would come from the water department’s 2019-20 capital projects budget as well as funds remaining from a project completed in 2018-19. Approval was given to an ordinance officially adding a $15 fee for food trucks to be located in the downtown area for “Food Truck Wednesday” as well as an ordinance allowing the city to participate in a health insurance pool being organized by MIRMA (Missouri Intergovernmental Risk Management Association). The city currently has other insurance coverage through MIRMA and it is hoped this pool will help the city lower its cost for its employee health insurance. Adjustments to the 2018-19 budget to reflect actual expenditures and revenues were approved. Urton reported that the city ended the year in good financial shape, with revenues being 17 percent over what
dent; Curtis Crawford, vice president; and Andy Cox, secretary. Committee reports were given, with it being noted that the Trenton Family Aquatic Center is up and running for the season. Shuler commended TFAC Manager Alexis Whitney for getting the pool ready to go and training staff in the short time period she had from the time school got out until opening day. Schuett, speaking for the grounds committee, said roses to replace some at the Sesquicentennial Park were scheduled to be planted on Thursday. Crawford said the facilties committee will be taking a look at rental fees in the near future. It was also noted that those attending ballgames at Upper Moberly Park have been parking in yards and need to be reminded to stay on the roadway. Shuler said his department has been keeping up with the mowing and preparing fields for the Green Hills Recreation Association ballgames and the Trenton Soccer Stars games. He said Cole Soptic has finished painting the restrooms at Upper Moberly as part of his Eagle Scout project, with toilets, sinks and new water lines also installed there. Shuler said his department has been assisting the Trenton Street Department with pouring concrete. The next regular meeting of the board is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, July 3 at city hall. had been projected in the general fund and 13 percent over in the capital fund. General revenue expenditures were 2 percent under what had been budgeted, however, the capital expenditures were 23 percent over budgeted figures. Urton said that had to do with expenditures the city had to make regarding purchase of the asphalt plant. In other business, the council: • heard a request from Meridith Berry of the University Extension for funding regarding the MyPI program, which teaches teens how to deal with and respond to natural diasters. A week-long “camp” is planned for youth in Grundy and Mercer counties, involving a cost to the attendees for supplies and meals. In answer to a question by a council member, city attorney Tara Walker said the city is not allowed to use public money for those purposes. • approved the mayor’s appointment to several boards, including Beth Mack*, Andy Cox and Gary Schuett, Park Board; Danny Matthews, Building and Nuisance Board; Jean Peace, Roger Hawkins and Michael Ormsby*, Planning and Zoning/Board of Adjustments; Marsha Hurst*, Tree Board; Stan Lowrey and Rob Maloney*, TIF Commission; and Brandon Spencer, Sarah Maloney and Kathi Brewer, Historic Preservation Commission. (*new member) • was told the new asphalt plant would soon begin selling to other entities. It was noted that personnel from the asphalt plant at Kirksville, which has a plant similar to the one purchased by Trenton, have been assisting the plant’s manufacturer (ADM) with training street department personnel on plant operation.

HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov
BREAKING DOWN MISSOURI’S 2020 BUDGET As approved by the Missouri General Assembly in May, the state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year includes funding increases for both K-12 and higher education. I am proud of the Legislature’s ability to deliver greater educational resources for the people of Missouri. Education is one of the most important services a state government can provide. By supporting our public schools, we are supporting the future of our state. The education portion of the state budget, contained in House Bills 2 and 3, fully funds the school foundation formula for the third year in a row. The foundation formula determines the amount of state aid that is delivered to each K-12 public school throughout the state. Funding the formula is always a priority of the General Assembly, and the health of our state economy has allowed us to fulfill this duty without raising taxes or sacrificing other areas of the budget. In addition to funding the foundation formula, the budget
also grants an additional $10 million to school transportation. This is of particular importance to rural parts of the state, where school districts often encompass a wide geographic area. Quality transportation ensures students can get to school safe and ontime. For the first time in many years, the budget also increases core funding for public colleges and universities. As lawmakers, we understand these institutions help many people secure in-demand, high-paying jobs. We hope that increasing core funding will keep tuition prices as low as possible for Missourians who want to advance their education and careers.each legislative chamber.

Dear Annie: I lived l with my husband for 50 years. y We met We spontaneously, annd I moved in He with him soon afterward. a was diffferent froom the norm. He was smart, alw ways outgoing and had many grreat friends. I fell deeply p y in lovee. We We got married after a few yyears together and began to builld our careers in businesses, whhere we both became respectedd and successful in our fieldss. Over those years, we also ppartied excessivelyy, and hung out with people who would evventually end up in prison. We We m moved beyond our youthful actss and raised a family. But he nnever stopped bragging about hiis earlier, danger-filled exploitts to anyone and everyone. Annd his stories have grown to new w exaggerated versions or downrright lies. I also painfullly discovered that he considerrs himself a ladies' man, and has been secretly wining andd dining other women. As muchh as I worked to make our livees better and make myself morre attractive, I became more annd more depressed. I felt I wasn't good enough. I confronnted him several times about aall of these issues and noothing ever improved. Through an "aaha" moment and research, I came to discover that th t I married a sociopath. I have bbeen trying to fix someone whho cannot be fixed. He ignoress my attempts to improve our relationship because he doesn't ccare. He's not wired for it. I am finally working through all off this through therapy, particulaarly mindfulness meditation. I feel like a new pperson. I'm w writing this because the symptom ms have been there all along, aand I was too busy, tired or ashhamed to deal with it until now.. I wish more information had bbeen available to me earlier in m my life about the prospects for a loving relationship with a sociopath. I found that he mayy often say and do the right thinggs, but it is all
ort-lived. Wi With no an act and short-lived. m now moving on regrets, I am nd half of my time with the second on this earth! I am happier and really enjoy life. -- Breathing Free athing: And I am Dear Breathing: so happy for you. I appreciate your sharing your story here so that it mightt be a light for o's in the dark, as someone who's you were. ie: I was a little Dear Annie: disappointed by your advice to ot Broken in Mis"Bent But Not Mis souri" who started her letter: "My husbandd and I moved to another state following our rere ew years ago. We We tirements a few moved to a resort town six hours away from my brother Billy and his wife, Patty." Patty The nued to complain writer continued that family was not coming to isit them with any see them or visit frequency. I agree withh your advice that cus on her friends she should focus er family, and not on her family but she also must see the fingers pointed back at herself. If you ve six hours away choose to move nt, you should asafter retirement, as sume you'll bee making frequent me," if you intend trips back "home," ch with your relato stay in touch rela tives there. Yo Yoour relatives aren't required to suddenly uddenly plan vacavaca tions around you simply bebe cause you andd yours decide to w location after re remove to a new tirement. I suggest that before those way become upset who move away es who stayed with relatives tart making plans home, they start heir roots to keep to return to their hips intact and not the relationships expect visits to their new locale in return. -- Goes Both Ways Dear Goes Both Ways: You make a fair point, and you inin rite aphorism of voke a favorite mine, "When you point one finfin re three fingers ger, there are pointing backk to you." Thanks for offfering another perspective. ie: I've been told Dear Annie: eople should use a that young people

credit card more often so that they can build a good credit history. I'm 24. I'd like to get a credit card that I can use for small recurring expenses. But I don't really know anything about banking, let alone which of the dozens of option is right for me. I'd like something with travel benefits, such as airline miles. And of course, there are technical things like interest rate to take into account. Can you provide some clarity on credit cards for beginners? I've heard horror stories about credit misuse. But more importantly, there are just so many similar options! No one taught me how to do this. -- Credit Confused Dear Credit Confused: You don't sound so confused, only (wisely) trepidatious. Yo You've got the right idea about using a credit card for small recurring expenses, such as utility bills. If you fly a lot, choosing one of the airline cards could be a good option, as you'll often automatically get perks such as free checked bags. This is better than usage-dependent perks (e.g., spending $2,000 in the first three months of opening an account), which can end up encouraging you to spend more than you can affford. I'd also recommend looking at not just the introductory interest rate (which is often 0 percent) but the rate after the introductory period is over. However, no advice I could offfer can take the place of advice from a good financial adviser. Financial advisers aren't just for the wealthy. Accredited Financial Counselors work with low- and middle-income clients. Yo You can visit their website (https://www.afcpe.org) to learn more and find an accredited counselor.

And the cloud winner is ...
Amazon and M Microsoft are in a tight battle to be the tech industry’s top provider of cloud computing services, but de etermining who’s the winner depends on wh hat’s counted. A recent repo ort by research firm IHS Markit says Microsoft has taken the top spot in total cloud services revenu ue,, bumping p g Amazon to second place. IHS says s Microsoft had a 13.8% share in n cloud services revenue last ye ear, followed by Amazon at 13.2 2% and IBM at 8.8%. That runs contrary to other reports that ten nd to show Amazon Web Services S as the cloud computin ng champion. IHS says Amazon is s the clear leader in what’s called d “infrastructure as a service.” Ama azon holds 45% of revenue in thatt segment segment,
according to IHS. The difference? Infrastructure as a service lets businesses, government agencies and other organizations tap remote data centers for storage and other services. For example, travel booking website Expedia has migrated most of its online business from its own on-site servers to Amazon’s cloud so that it can c process large volumes of data a and troubleshoot problems more easily. By contrast, Microsoft M is stronger in application-ba ased cloud services. These include business b analytics, video conferenc cing and email that’s hosted on Micro osoft’s servers. One of Micros soft’s advantages has been its lon ngstanding relationship with h customers, including retailers, that see Amazon as a competitor competitor..
