Board Of Trustees Meet
2019-20 Budget Shows Small Surplus The 2019-2020 North Central Missouri College budget was approved during a meeting of college trustees on Tuesday, with a small surplus expected at the end of the year. When combining the unrestricted accounts and the auxillary service accounts, the college expects to bring in total revenues of $12,930,419, with expenses estimated at $12,922,660 for an anticipated surplus of $7,759. When looking at the unrestricted (operational) budget, revenues are listed at $10,725,769 and expenses are projected at $10,720,908, resulting in a budgeted surplus of $4,861. Among the revenue included in that amount is $7,283,700 in tuition and fees. While that amount is based on level enrollment, it is $287,300 more than last year due to an increase in tuition rates and fees. State revenues are listed at $2,638,169 and local tax revenue is listed at $342,500 while “other” income comes in at $461,400. On the expenses side of the operational budget, salaries eat up the biggest amount, $5,462,937. Fringe benefits are listed at $1,571,371 and “other” expenses are projected at $3,686,600. The expenses include salary increases averaging between 3 and 4 percent as approved in May, and the addition of dance and esports programs. Budgeted health insurance premium increases total $62,660 and an increase in utility costs is also budgeted. Not included in the budgeted amounts are payments on the notes on the Barton Farm Campus to-

taling $92,508 and a Title IV repayment of $165,507. Those payments are made from designated cash reserves and are not included in the annual operating budget. The FY19 budget for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act program, which is administered through NCMC, was also approved, showing total revenues and expenses of $297,890, down from $398,914 actual revenue and expenditures in FY18. It was noted that nearly every expenditure category was decreased this year in order to balance the budget. Salaries were reduced by $25,948 over last year. The board heard reports from administrative staff, including college president Dr. Lenny Klaver who said enrollment for summer 2019 was up 15.7 percent in head count over 2018 and 14.9 percent in credit hours generated over last year. Looking at fall enrollment, Dr. Klaver said applications are up 47 over this time last year. Dr. Klaver updated the board on summer projects, including the demolition of several structures and work at the Ketcham Community Center, and explained upcoming strategic planning and leadership activities. He said that as of Tuesday morning, $1,400 had been raised through the college for Trenton Police Officer Jasmine Diab, an NCMC student who was shot in the line of duty on June 14. Head Start directors Susan Ewigman and Janet Gott presented information on staffing and enrollment

Linda Crooks to do so. Council members voted 4-4 on the policy, which regulates the use of solar electricity generated by a residential customer and how that usage is credited on a customer’s bill. A change recommended to the policy, and recommended by the utility committee, capped the credit at three cents per kilowatt. Voting in favor of the change were David Mlika, Larry Crawford, John Dolan and Cathie Smith. Opposed were Glen Briggs, Lou Fisher, Danny Brewer and Brad Chumbley, who stated he felt the cap was unfair to those customers using solar power to supplement their electric usage. The policy would not affect current users, only those who come on board after passage. With the tie, Ms. Crooks cast a vote in favor, resulting in the policy change being approved. The council heard a presentation from Craig Woycheese of Toth and Associates regarding an electric rate study. Woycheese outlined what would be included in the study, which he said would take between 90 to 120 days to complete and would cost between $15,000 to $18,000. The council had originally considered having a study done, requesting proposals last year and choosing Toth and Associates to do the work. The council then postponed moving forward, but asked that a representative visit with members to find out more information. No vote was

Mayor Breaks Tie In Policy Vote
Financing improvements at the wastewater plant will now be split into two payments, but the city of Trenton will be able to keep the low interest rate promised last week for the project. During a meeting on Monday night, members of the Trenton City Council were told that restrictions on bonds issued in 2007 requires the city to separate the 2018 certificates of participation for the effluent disinfection portion of the project and the headworks project the city is planning to do. The city, which plans to also use $1 million in wastewater reserves to help pay for the headworks, had been looking to borrow just over $6 million to pay for both projects, getting an interest rate of 3.56 percent. However, the 2007 bonds, which came from proceeds of a state revolving fund, will not allow the city to combine the latest projects. Toni Stegeman of the Gilmore and Bell law firm, who is working with the city on the financing, said splitting the two projects will still allow Trenton to receive the 3.56 percent interest rate on both loans. The city is currently paying 4.95 percent on the 2018 certificates of participation. The city will still be responsible for $10,000 in closing costs, with Charlie Zitnik of DA Davidson responsible for any closing costs over that amount. Ms. Stegeman anticipates having the documents available for the council’s approval in two weeks. The city council approved an updated net metering policy, however, it took a vote by Mayor
for the coming year and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre reported on approval for the fire science program and technology classes that will be offered at Savannah High School. The college also has joined the National Association of College e-Sports as the college is starting an e-sports program. He also told trustees that Dr. Susan Stull is teaching biology classes in China through the ONPS International Summer School Program. In her report, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley reported on the residence halls, noting that Ellsworth Hall is full for the fall semester and Selby Hall is nearly full. She said that at the end of July rooms that have been set aside for athletes will be released and given to those on the waiting list. She said there will be a push on campus this fall to be sure students, faculty and staff are aware of whether or not they have been vaccinated for measles. She also recognized Financial Aid Director Kimberly Meeker, who has been named the treasurer of the Missouri Association of Student Financial Aid Personnel. Trustees approved the purchase of a Fanuc Robotics system to support the college’s industrial technology program at a cost of $67,717.50, with 75 percent of that cost to be reimbursed through state enhancement grants. Testing supplies were purchased through Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) of Leawood,
In honor of Trenton Police Officer Jasmine Diab, an event, “Fourth of July Blue Smoke for Jasmine,” is being planned for the July 4 holiday. The event will involve blue smoke bombs being set off at 1:05 p.m. (in recognition of Officer Diab’s badge number) on Thursday, July 4 and will be held on Seventh Street between the Grundy County Law Enforcement Center and the Grundy County Courthouse. Seventh Street will be blocked off from Main Street to Washington Street and no parking will be allowed on the south side of the courthouse during the event. Those planning to participate in the activity are asked to gather with their blue smoke bombs at 1 p.m. The Trenton Fire Department’s Engine 10 will be on hand to help ensure that all of the smoke bombs are extinguished after the event. Officer Diab is recuperating at a Kansas City hospital after being shot in Winston while transporting a subject from Trenton to St. Joseph on June 14.
Crowder Park Program Set Crowder State Park will host a “cold blooded animal” program on Saturday, July 13 at the campground amphitheater.

R-9, R-6 Boards Approve Budgets The Trenton R-9 Board of Education officially accepted the 2019-20 budget and closed out the 2018-19 year during a special meeting on Wednesday morning. Board members approved the new budget that shows revenues of $19,702,468 and expenditures of $17,921,878. As was noted at the regular June board meeting, $7 million of the revenues come from bonds the district will be selling for its construction project while $5 million in expenditures is the amount of money anticipated to be spent during the year for the project. Superintendent Dan Wiebers said the amount of deficit in the incidental fund projected when the proposed budget was presented earlier this month had actually decreased by around $20,000 due to employment of staff who filled open positions at a salary of less than what the district had been paying. The district is looking at beginning the 2019-20 fiscal year on July 1 with a 27.48 percent fund balance of just over $3.2 million. The current fund balance is $3,080,243, however, special education funds and interest from investments will be coming in before June 30 and will increase that number to the $3.2 million figure. As part of the actualization of revenues and expenditures for the 2018-19 year, the board voted to transfer $902,156.25 from Fund 1 to Fund 2 (the teacher’s fund) to zero out that account to start the new year. In other business, the board approved an agreement with the Missouri Department of Social Services’ Mo Health Net program, allowing the district to continue to receive reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid-qualified students. All votes were 6-0 with Brandon Gibler, Cliff Roeder, Dorothy Taul, Marcie Cutsinger and Dr. David Whitaker present. Doug Franklin was absent. The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education also met this week to close out the 2018-19 school year and take action on the 2019-20 budget. Pleasant View R-6 During a meeting on Tuesday night, the Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education approved the 2019-2020 budget, which showed a $2,304 deficit. Revenues are anticipated at $1,625,948 while expenditures are projected at $1,628,252. The board also made a fund transfer from Fund 1 to Fund 2 to zero out the Fund 2 account and See R-9, Page 7

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A former Kansas City Chiefs player and now businessman who has served on local and state government boards is running for the U.S. Senate in Kansas. Dave Lindstrom, who lives in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, planned to launch his bid for the Republican nomination with an event Thursday in Goodland in Kansas' northwestern corner. Four-term GOP Sen. Pat Roberts is not seeking re-election in 2020, and at least 15 potential candidates have expressed an interest in running, most of them Republicans. Lindstrom said supporters have encouraged him for months to consider running, pointing to his business background. Lindstrom, 64, played professional football as a defensive end. He was with the Chiefs for eight years. He retired in 1986.
COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Vanderbilt 8, Michigan 2
Vandy Tops Michigan 8-2 To Win National Title OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Vanderbilt swept the Southeastern Conference regularseason and tournament titles, set the league record for wins, tied the record with 13 draft picks and lost back-to-back games just twice. Now the Commodores are national champions. Mason Hickman and Jake Eder combined for 14 strikeouts, Michigan ace Karl Kauffmann was knocked out in the fourth inning, and the Commodores won the College World Series with an 8-2 victory in Game 3 of the finals Wednesday night. Vandy (59-12) won its second title in its four CWS appearances, all since 2011. The other one came in 2014. "I felt we were going to hit well, I felt we were going to play well. I thought this was going to be a nice night for the kids," coach Tim Corbin said. Freshman Kumar Rocker, who was dominant in two CWS starts, was selected the Most Outstanding Player. Hickman struck out 10 in six innings and limited the Wolverines (50-22) to one hit after he gave up three in a row to start the game. Kauffmann, making his third start in the
CWS, struggled with his control, and Vandy broke open the game with three runs in the third inning and two in the fourth. When Ako Thomas flew out to center to end the game, the Vandy dugout and bullpen emptied and catcher Philip Clarke sprinted to the mound to embrace Eder. During the postgame celebration, Vandy players invited Teddy and Susan Everett to join them on the stage set up behind home plate. Their son, Donny Everett, was a star freshman pitcher on the 2016 team and drowned before the start of that year's NCAA Tournament. The seniors on this year's team were his teammate. "Those two mean so much to this program and all the players and the seniors," shortstop Ethan Paul said. "To this day, every time I look at Teddy I think of Donny, and just being able to share that moment with them was something we all really wanted to do." The loss ended a surprising postseason for Michigan, which went from being one of the last four teams picked for the 64-team NCAA Tournament to becoming the first Big Ten team to play in the finals since Ohio State in 1966. It was Michigan's first CWS since 1984. "They have inspired future generations of Michigan baseball players with the belief that winning a national championship is possible," coach Erik Bakich said. "The only way you can have an Omaha program is to have an Omaha team. This is very much a tipping point for us." Michigan staved off elimination in the first two rounds of the national tournament after squandering leads. The Wolverines knocked off No. 1 national seed UCLA to reach the CWS. "We were hoping it would end in a better way," first baseman Jimmy Kerr said. "We'll look back — maybe not in a week or in a month — but down the road it will be fond memories." Bakich was an assistant to Corbin from 2003-09 at Vanderbilt, and the two remain close friends. "He's put together a remarkable year with those guys," Corbin said. "Where they came from ... they gave us everything we wanted and more." Vandy is the sixth national champion from the SEC since 2009 and 12th overall, second only to the 18 won by the Pac12 and its previous iterations. At No. 2, Vandy became the highest national seed to win it all since Miami in 2001. Hickman gave up three straight singles to start the game, leading to Michigan's first run. He retired nine of the next 10, striking out six, and got out of trouble when the Wolverines loaded the bases in the fourth. He retired the last six he faced before turning the game over to Eder. Hickman fanned nine or more in five of his final six starts and allowed one or fewer runs in nine of his last 13. Though the Commodores brought to Omaha an offense ranked in the top five nationally in the major categories, it was pitching that carried them for most of their stay. Vandy had eight runs on nine hits Wednesday, but its .221 average in six CWS games was the lowest for a national champion in the aluminum bat era that started in 1974.

His parents moved to Cranford, NJ when Ted was two. He went through grade school, graduating from Cranford High School with the class of 1948. Ted worked as a draftsman before he was enlisted with the U.S. Army, completing a course in dental prosthetics. He was sent to an Army post in Pirmasens, Germany, making dental restorations for all Army personnel. He took advantage of the GI Bill and attended Newark College of Engineering. As an engineer, Ted traveled around the world to Alaska, Bangkok, California, Cuba, England, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and many islands.

Preparedness Is Class Focus University of Missouri Extension in Grundy County is holding a Missouri Youth Preparedness Initiative class for teens, focusing on being ready in case of an emergency. The class will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday, July 15 through Thursday, July 18 in the Sugg room at the Ketcham Community Center and at the Trenton Fire Department from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, July 19. Lunch is provided each day. Teens who participate will use the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Community Emergency Response Team Training curriculum, learning first aid, CPR, AED, light search and rescue, fire suppression and more. In addition, students will be introduced to HAM radio operation, learn weather spotter techniques, installation and maintenance of smoke detectors and other technologies that are used as part of emergency preparedness. The final project is called PREP + 6, in which participants will have several weeks after the class to gather a disaster kit and make a communication plan for their family. They will then assist six other households in putting together their own disaster kits and communication plans. Participants who complete
the class receive a CERT backpack filled with emergency supplies for deployment and certifications for AED/CPR. Students may also request up to 24 hours of volunteer service time. Completing the training will bolster job applications and help on college applications. Members of Scout organizations can get credit for merit badges. The class size is limited to 15, with a sponsorship by BTC Bank helping to offset the $50 fee. Participants are being asked to pay a $10 fee that may be returned at the end of the class if additional sponsorships are received.

OP/ED
Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Sewer Woes Continue Trenton and area towns continue to have to spend millions of dollars to upgrade their water and wastewater plants to comply with Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The Trenton City Council moved closer to a financing plan this week to make improvements to the wastewater plant in order to meet EPA guidelines. The city is going to have to borrow some $6 million and use another $1 million in reserve funds in order to complete the work. All this is to enWendell Lenhart sure that the residual water that is released into Muddy Creek is almost clean enough to drink. As I have mentioned before, the EPA has designated Muddy Creek as a recreational waterway that persons might become wholly submerged in during their recreation. Ridiculous. With all the rain we’ve had, this is one of the few years a person could get completely covered up with water in Muddy Creek; most years you can jump across it. Spickard is looking to spend nearly $1.5 million they don’t have to make wastewater improvements. And it’s not just Trenton and Spickard. All the other area towns, Gallatin, Bethany, Princeton, you name it, have had to make improvements at one time or another. And now, it just seems like once those improvements are made, it’s just a few years before the regulations change and the whole process starts over again. And who gets to pay for these improvements? Us, the users. And once the rates have to be raised in order to pay for the improvements, the ratepayers are mad and blame the city and utilities for the higher rates. Nothing could be further from the truth. The municipalities are just complying with the directives coming from the EPA and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Ratepayers should be angry and contacting their elected members of Congress because that is where the problem begins. They are the only ones who can change what is going on and until they do, we are going to continue to pay higher and higher utility bills. ##### The crazy summer weather continues with storm after storm dumping inches of rain on our area. Usually we begin to beg for rain this time of year and now we are begging for it to not completely stop, but become a less frequent occurrence.

Let’s Energize Our Infrastructure by Jim Nicholson Up and down the East Coast, state lawmakers are fighting the Trump administration's efforts to allow natural gas and oil development in the Atlantic. These politicians recently adopted a novel tactic - they're blocking construction of onshore pipelines, terminals and other energy infrastructure that would be needed to process offshore natural gas and oil. Blocking energy infrastructure projects deprives workers of good jobs and weakens our energy and national security. Energy infrastructure such as pipelines are also the safest, most reliable way to get energy from point A to point B - energy that communities, families and businesses need to live their every day lives: driving to work, going to school, using their iPhones and cooking their dinner. Immense energy wealth is expected to lie off America's coasts. The Outer Continental Shelf - the submerged federal territory beneath the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico - could contain as much as 90 billion barrels of oil and 328 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Tapping these energy deposits could support 730,000 American jobs and generate nearly $120 billion in cumulative tax revenues for the federal government over the next 20 years. By opposing the infrastructure needed for offshore development, state lawmakers are kneecapping their local economies. And it’s not just our coastal states - offshore development could help economies across the nation. Energy companies have dramatically increased natural gas and oil production in recent years, while reducing their environmental footprint. Last year, we became the world's top oil producer, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia, while reducing U.S. CO2 emissions from energy sources to 25-year lows.
The failure to develop offshore resources and invest in infrastructure doesn't just weaken the U.S. energy revolution it also compromises our access to reliable and affordable energy, national security and also slows down environmental progress. Consider the political opposition to the Access Northeast pipeline, which would have transported affordable natural gas throughout much of New England. The project would have brought $3.2 billion in private investments to local communities, created new jobs, and saved New Englanders $1 billion a year by reducing electricity bills. But the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled against the project in 2016, putting the entire region's energy security at risk. When temperatures dropped and energy demand skyrocketed, New Englanders had no way to access U.S.-produced natural gas. In 2018 New Englanders turned to Russian liquefied natural gas. It makes no sense to rely on nations like Russia or Venezuela for our energy needs - especially when we have such immense natural gas and oil deposits available offshore. America has been blessed with ample energy resources. But that means nothing if we don't develop our offshore resources and build the energy infrastructure needed to harness it. (Jim Nicholson served as Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs under the George W. Bush administration as well as U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.

What Others Are Saying... Parson’s First Year All in all, Gov. Mike Parson has served Missouri well during his first year in office.
Guest Editorials When Parson took office June 1, 2018, the state of the state wasn't good. The previous governor, Eric Greitens, had just resigned amid scandals. The Legislature had just completed a session in which it was sidetracked by a probe and the possibility that it would consider impeaching Greitens. Confidence in state government was flagging. "There wasn't a whole lot of communications between (my) lieutenant governor's office and the (Greitens) governor's office," Parson told the News Tribune during a wide-ranging, 40-minute interview we wrote about last Sunday. "That day when I took office, we started walking through this entire complex, and it was empty desk after empty desk after empty desk." Parson, a lifelong cattle farmer, small business owner and former sheriff, had a big challenge to assemble quickly a staff and calm the troubled waters. We believe he's succeeded with a leadership style that prioritizes hard work and Midwestern values over flashy political posturing. Among other things, Parson has: • Streamlined workforce development, creating a onestop-shop approach that will help workers attain needed skills in our state. • Worked through the legislative process to help with needed bridge repairs. • Worked to protect the lives of the unborn by signing a controversial bill that criminalizes abortion after eight weeks of pregnancy. Time will tell whether the new law meets constitutional muster, but Parson's action stays true to his pro-life values. • Collaborated with local and federal agencies alike to deal with crises stemming from recent tornadoes and flooding. (The morning after the tornado in Jefferson City, Parson was assessing damage along Ellis Boulevard with members of his team.) • Worked cooperatively with the Legislature on the state's $30 billion budget so that he was able to sign the budget bills with no line-item vetoes or withholds. • Convinced lawmakers to include money in the state budget for state employee pay raises, especially increas-
ing pay for corrections officers in state prisons. Parson isn't perfect; we've taken issue with some of his actions. But we also believe he has done much good for out state in the past year, not the least of which is steadying our state in a time of upheaval. One question left unanswered by Parson is whether he will seek election to the office that he inherited last year. We believe he's served our state well and would welcome him as a candidate in 2020. — Jefferson City News Tribune
Marijuana Pardons If Kansas City Mayor-elect Quinton Lucas keeps one of his campaign promises, our city could become the latest in the nation to clear marijuana possession convictions en masse. Last week, Lucas, who holds the 3rd District at-large seat on the City Council, decisively defeated fellow council member Jolie Justus in the race to replace Mayor Sly James. He campaigned on a commonsense criminal justice reform platform, among other issues. Lucas pledged to use the pardon power of the mayor's office to wipe out all stand-alone convictions for minor municipal marijuana violations. "It's a question of fairness," Lucas told The Star. He's right. And Lucas should make good on this promise. Thousands of marijuana-related convictions in Kansas City Municipal Court could be dismissed, depending on how far back the pardons reach. Close to 8,900 marijuana-related cases have been disposed at the municipal level since 1998. Some are stand-alone. Others are not. As of last week, there were 2,736 pending marijuana cases. While some voters might be surprised to learn that Kansas City's mayor can issue pardons, Lucas, who takes office Aug. 1, will indeed have that power. As the city charter states, "The mayor shall have authority to pardon any person convicted of violating any ordinance of this city." Although recreational marijuana use is not legal in Missouri, voters have sent a strong message that attitudes about pot have changed. And there is little political will to use scarce law enforcement resources to prosecute nonviolent marijuana cases. In 2017, Kansas City voters overwhelmingly approved a new ordinance that lowered penalties in city court for people caught with small amounts of marijuana. Violators are ticketed and pay nominal fines and court costs with-
out the threat of jail time. As a result, there have been fewer cases filed in Municipal Court, and more people have been convicted on amended charges instead of marijuana charges. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced in November that her office would no longer prosecute most marijuana possession cases. And last year, Missouri voters also approved the use of medical marijuana for certain health issues. The changes enacted in the last couple years have been needed steps toward reforming the criminal justice system. But what about people arrested on low-level marijuana charges in Kansas City prior to 2017? The arrests and convictions can stay on their records for years and impact their prospects for jobs, loans and housing. "It's a no-brainer issue," Lucas said. "It's only fair to eliminate those barriers." So, what does reform look like? Lucas is researching what other cities have done, but there are templates that could provide guidance. It will take time and personnel, but it will get done, Lucas said. He wants to limit the administrative work and the costs associated with expungement as much as possible. In San Francisco, 9,362 people will be eligible to have their old marijuana-related criminal offenses dismissed and sealed under a plan announced by the city's district attorney. Denver's Turn Over a New Leaf program doesn't require applicants to pay for any part of the dismissal or sealing process. In Seattle, judges vacated more than 500 marijuana possession convictions last September, and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's plan to pardon those with misdemeanor marijuana convictions could clear thousands more. A spokeswoman for Kansas City Municipal Court declined to comment on whether Presiding Judge Corey Carter or Presiding Judge Pro Tem Ardie Bland would be opposed to dismissing past convictions. "It is not the place of the judiciary to comment on the actions that may be taken by the Mayor, Prosecutor's Office and/or police," she wrote in an email. In Kansas City and across the country, the criminalization of marijuana has taken a heavy toll, particularly on minorities. Lucas has an important opportunity to undo some of the damage done by the "war on drugs" and allow low-level offenders to make a fresh start. Dismissing nonviolent marijuana convictions is one small but consequential step toward reforming the criminal justice system at the local level. — Kansas City Star

COMMUNITY Shelburne Cathy Rice Due to the flooding on Route W on Sunday morning, June 23, Shelburne Baptist Church did not hold morning worship services. The water receded and Vacation Bible School was able to start that evening. The summer days have left us all scratching our heads. Last year we worried about having enough summer pasture and drinking water for our cattle. This year the cattle have put some weight back on and look better, but we are beginning to worry about getting hay put up. We used every bale last year and even purchased a few bales here and there to make it through the long winter. Our home was finished in 1902 and Cowboy Dean's family has lived in this house for generations. We have heard stories of flooding and how the house had never had water in it. This year was the highest water level ever recorded and to date we can still say it has not had water in it. It got to the front porch
Ford
deck. We've marked it for future generations. I was sitting on the couch on Saturday evening and looked out at the front porch. I thought it was odd that the boys had put some type of heavy duty electrical cord up the front porch railing. A few moments later I looked again and the heavy duty cord had gotten slimmer. I jumped up, took two steps to the window and saw a large black snake coming off the roof of the porch. My best guess is it was five to six feet long. I made a dash for the back porch and bellowed for Cowboy Dean to come get rid of the snake. Well, he just took his sweet time getting a rake and walking up from the tractor shed. By the time we walked around the house, the snake was long gone (I'm guessing under the porch). This was the evening that the heavy rain storm blew up and our power went out, so I went to bed at 9:30 at night. I tossed and turned as every noise made me think of that snake.

The group then returned to the ag building to enjoy a meal with some new incoming FFA members. To end the 2018-2019 school year, members played a game of dodge ball.

Five Trenton FFA members had the opportunity to attend the Washington Leadership Conference June 18-23 in Washington, D.C. While attending WLC, students learned the importance of leadership skills, the value of diversity and developed a Living to Serve plan. This LTS plan allows students to use their skills and interests to meet a need in their community. Students were also able to tour multiple attractions such as the Holocaust Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, The US Capitol and many monuments and historical sites. While visiting the Capitol, members had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Sam Graves. Throughout the week students were able to meet many other FFA members from all across the country, making friendships that will last a lifetime.

TURBULENT CLOUDS FORETELL RAIN FARMERS DON’T NEED RIGHT NOW Spectacular clouds bring super rains and lightening. Last Friday and Saturday, we had sky shows in Columbia. Fascinating, but threatening. Today’s storms don’t arrive unannounced. My cellphone yelps alerts, giving more emergency notices this spring than ever, I knew these were coming, but not the intensity. The previous Tuesday, Pat Guinan, MU Extension climatologist, gave a heads up in our weekly MU crops teleconference. This year, weather dominated talk for MU specialists. Guinan told of the dry week just past. But, he said a wet week or more was coming. I see that now. His maps showed two huge air masses over the United States. Northwest was dry and cool. Southeast was warm and moist. He said a line would set up and hold from Texas panhandle across the Plains into the Corn Belt exiting at the Great Lakes. That line goes through central Missouri, including Columbia. That front hosts storms, as turbulence pops up when ex-

Hunter Beverlin was a member of the FFA for all four years of high school. Hunter was active is CDEs for all of high school. He participated on the poultry, dairy cattle, forestry and ag mechanics teams. Hunter has used FFA as a way to build character and learn the value of hard work. For his SAE project, Hunter works for a local vet, feeding cows and helping with the day-to-day activities of a farm. He has also sold sweet corn all four years. Hunter plans to attend college and further his education in the fall.
treme air masses meet. I walked my ag beat on campus Friday morning. So, I saw storms coming. From weather classes decades ago, I remembered names of clouds. This name stuck, Cumulus Mammatus. This front moving quickly had an underbelly of mounds of clouds. The original namer of this sight was reminded of mammary glands. Great activity shows in the clouds. The protrusions indicated turbulence. By the time I reached my car in the garage to drive to Animal Science Center night lights in the garage came on. Soon street lights came on. The black clouds overhead blocked a bright morning sun. I got inside just before those clouds dumped loads of water. The secretary ran out to move her car. She’d arrived early to get a spot under a shade tree. She didn’t want a tree toppled on her car. The wind gusts bent trees over. The wind seemed to want to open the door even wider when I entered. By then, huge raindrops were bouncing off the street. Again my cellphone alerted me to “Severe Thunderstorm Activity� and “Flash Floods.� Sure enough thunder boomers resonated across campus. Those were close. I tuned in regional radio with

Doppler radar crew describing what they saw across North Missouri. The most violent area, formed along the Missouri River. The peak of a triangle of clouds reached Iowa. There was a big hole in the middle. So storms would come and go in areas to the north. Locally, northern Boone County had most of the activity. Peak activity traveled along I-70 to St. Louis and beyond. What a show. But, from the teleconference I knew farmers did not need more rain. Later I read that a historic record was set Friday for one day of rain in June. Rains continued Sunday. In the week before, there was huge catch up to almost finishing corn planting. Also, there was catch up on soybeans which were way late. Hay makers cut and baled lots of forage for winter. At that, some was put up damp. Not good for safe hay. Meanwhile, Kevin Bradley, weed specialist, urged farmers to attend Pest Management Day, July 9, at MU Bradford Farm. Specialists say talks are different this year. Pest controls change with delayed crops. His show starts at 8 a.m. that day. Lunch is served, but there’s a $10 fee for book and meal. Bradley works on weed controls different from the past, working without chemicals that create resistant weeds. Long ago, I’d quoted him saying there is no resistance to sharp steel. See ya July 9.

sive with me. She just wants to see me alone, and she questions whether or not I'm seeing other friends when I can't see her at a certain time. She makes comments about how popular I am and makes sarcastic comments about friends liking me better. I know she is insecure, but this subject is difficult to approach with her. She says that's the way she is, and that's that. She has friends but seems to depend on me a lot. I'm at my wit's end. How should I handle this? -Torn and Frustrated Dear Torn and Frustrated: A friend is someone who wishes you well -- someone who wants to see you grow and is there for you during the good times and bad. The "friend" described in your letter is missing those qualities. In fact, she sounds like someone who does not want to see you shine or to be popular, so she can keep you all to herself. She is obviously very insecure. But the real question is whether you should allow her insecurity and jealousy to weigh you down. Have a forthright conversation with her about how you feel. Tell her in no uncertain terms that you are allowed to have other friends besides her, though that doesn't mean that you like her any less. In fact, you will probably like and respect her more as a friend if she gives you freedom. It does sound like you care about her, so remember to come from a place of love and compassion when you approach her. If she becomes defensive, perhaps now is the time to give her space. Instead, tell her that when she is ready to not be so possessive and jealous, you will be ready to be her friend.
Dear Annie: I used to drink coffee only now and then, just for enjoyment. But since my job has become more intense and stressful, I've found myself needing at least a cup a day to keep me alert and functioning at full capacity. I don't like that I'm dependent on caffeine now. I notice that when I haven't had coffee by noon or so, I feel crabby and headachey. So I keep drinking it daily so I can get my work done. Is there some alternative? I want to be able to work without relying upon everyone's favorite bean. -- Caffeine Dependent Dear Caffeine Dependent: If caffeine is the only thing you are trying to quit, then you are in pretty good shape. However, if you really want to stop drinking coffee, there are lots of great alternatives. Matcha tea is a very popular one. It is a form of green tea made by steaming and grinding the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In contrast to drinking green tea, you are getting the entire leaf with matcha. A second alternative could be lemon water. While it won't give you quite the jolt of caffeine, it will provide your body with lots of nutritious vitamin C. Chicory root and B vitamins also help with energy levels. Ginseng is found in many popular energy drinks. Becoming dependent on coffee is a legitimate concern, and it can produce headaches and all sorts of other problems. But my real concern is the stress of your job. Stress is a lot more dangerous than caffeine. I would have an honest talk with your boss about your workload. Do it in a very professional manner -- not coming from a place of laziness but rather wanting to make sure your body is able to do the work demanded of you at an optimal pace. Sometimes set-
ting boundaries for yourself is the healthiest thing you can do for all parties involved. Dear Annie: I have two best friends from college. I have good relationships with both of them, but one is much more emotionally available. The other is hard to pin down. When we want to hang out as a group -- which takes coordinating, as we've since moved to different states -- he more often than not makes excuses to get out of meeting up. I don't think he's lost interest in being our friend. During college, he was super down to do stuff with us all the time. But now that there's distance and logistics involved, we don't appear to be worth the effort. We've brought this up to him before, that it hurts us to feel like he doesn't care. His defense is that he "cares about everyone equally," so we're not given any sort of extra effort for being closer-than-normal friends. How do we deal with this? I know we can't force him to make himself available, but it is heartbreaking to watch a yearslong relationship fizzle due to something so meager as distance. -- Angry at Apathetic Amigo Dear Angry: Best friends might not be around all the time or even most of the time, but they're there when you need them. What matters is that you can still count on this amigo when it counts. In the meantime, stop putting in extra effort to coordinate with him if it's causing you to resent him. Give him some time and space, and let him reach out when he's ready to commit to getting together. Distance -whether of space or years -- is not enough to dissolve the bonds of true friendship. Dear Annie: I have a friend who I have known for many years, and suddenly I have noticed that she is getting posses-

FCA’s next move?
Investors are waiting to see if Fiat Chrysler eventually finds a merger partner or goes it alone. The Italian-American automaker withdrew an offer to merge with France’s Renault on June 5, though analysts say FCA left the door open for further talks. If the merger happens, it likely would boost shares of both companies due to an expected 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) in annual savings through shared purchasing and research. FCA could also seek another partner, such as France’s PSA Peugeot, which plans to sell vehicles in the U.S. Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois wrote in a recent note FCA is a “solid fit” with PSA. Renault alliance
partner Nissan objected to the FCA merger, but a reconstituted Nissan board could view it more favorably. Renault’s chairman replaced ousted Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn on the board. Yet FCA and Renault say no talks are scheduled. FCA also could stay independent and share the cost of electric and autonomous vehicles with tech or auto companies. FCA made $4.26 billion last year. Analysts polled by FactSet expect a profit of $4.9 billion this year, with strong earnings through 2022. Jefferies gives shares of the stand-alone FCA a “Buy” rating with a price target of $18, nearly 30 percent above the current price.

Long-Term Care Insurance Medicare will only cover short stays in nursing homes or limited amounts of at-home care, and even then, only under very strict conditions. With this in mind, many people consider purchasing "long-term care insurance" to help cover potential long-term care expenses. When doing so, it is vitally important to work with an insurance agent who is well versed in this type of coverage. To help mitigate the cost of long-term care insurance, coverage options should be selected carefully to coincide with possible future needs and ability to pay. Affordability is also greatest when policies are purchased by healthy middleaged individuals who are still years away from their senior years. With careful planning, long-term health care needs can be adequately met. The need for long-term care can arise suddenly, such as after a heart attack or stroke. Most often, however, it develops gradually, as people get older and frailer or as an illness or disability gets worse. At ROBERT BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY, we have over three decades of experience in working with senior products. To learn more, please call 660-359-5973. We assure that you are well informed of the options available, which allows you to be comfortable in the decisions you must make about your health care coverage. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.
