ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The North Central Missouri Development Alliance, along with the City of Trenton, has announced they have been working with a prospective manufacturing business to locate in the community. The facility would be a safe and secure cultivation and production facility that would produce pharmaceutical-grade cannabis. According to Micah Landes, executive director of the NCMDA, the business is projected to start by creating 30 full-time, good-paying jobs with benefits. The residents of Missouri passed the legalization of medical cannabis in November 2018 and it is part of the future of agriculture in the state. Mrs. Landes said this company can provide a positive economic impact to the community and the surrounding area, which will lead to other businesses wanting to locate here.

Street Closure On Saturday A section of Mable Street will be closed on Saturday, Aug. 17 to maintain safety while North Central Missouri College students move into the Selby and Ellsworth residence halls. Mable Street will be closed between 13th Street to Crowder Road from 8 a.m. until midnight.
“This is a first class production/manufacturing facility that has partners with a record of success in the industry and giving back to the community,” Mrs. Landes said. Mayor Linda Crooks said the business will provide job opportunities for Trenton and surrounding residents and it will be a significant customer for Trenton Municipal Utilities. The business will also be giving back to the community. “Senior management of this business has already created several partnerships in our community and will support their causes in multiple ways.” Mayor Crooks said. Mrs. Landes said more information about the business will be released pending a successful application and license from the State of Missouri

Organizations from Grundy County will participate in an emegency exercise taking place on Saturday, Sept 14. Emergency Services Management Director Glen Briggs said the exercise is being conducted to test and improve the community’s overall preparedness for an emergency event, with the fictional exercise simulating an earthquake. Exercise participants will simulate building collapses, utility failures, fires and will treat volunteers who are pretending to be victims. Briggs said that while the exercise is not real, the response activities will be practiced in a manner that is as realistic as possible. Grundy County, the City of Trenton, Grundy County EMS, Trenton Police Department, Grundy County Sheriff’s Department and fire departments from Grundy County, Trenton, Laredo, Galt and Spickard will be participating. The areas where the exercise will take place, near the Rock Barn, will be clearly marked. For safety reasons and in order to complete the exercise in a realistic environment, the exercise area will not be open to the public, Briggs said.
2019 Levy Readjustment Needed
Special Meetings Planned For Project The Trenton R-9 Board of Education has set dates for two special meetings later this month to take action on items regarding the construction project approved by voters in April. During the regular board meeting on Tuesday night, members agreed to meet at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21 to approve the sale of bonds that would pay for the project as well as meet at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28 to open bids for the construction work. Both meetings will be held at the district office. Superintendent Mike Stegman said the deadline for bids to be submitted to the district was extended by two days to Thursday, Aug. 22 after it was learned that prospective bidders needed more time to nail down costs regarding materials being used for the walls of the project at the high school. The original
bid deadline had been Aug. 20. Extending the time, Stegman said, should increase the number of contractors submitting bids. He said that once the board accepts the bid, dirt work on the project should begin in four to six weeks. Stegman also noted that the district has been designated with an AA/AA+ bond rating, which he said will make the R-9 project attractive to those interested in purchasing the bonds. Voters in April approved the sale of up to $7 million in bonds to construct a new performing arts center and hallways to connect all buildings at the middle school/high school complex as well as renovation work at Rissler Elementary School and a new concession stand/restroom at C.F. Russell Stadium. In a related matter, the board approved the 2019 levy that will keep the

debt service at 90 cents, which will be used to pay off the bonds for the project. The total levy approved was $4.127, however, according to R-9 Secretary Susan Leeper, that amount will need to be adjusted due to an error found on Wednesday with the numbers used to calculate the final levy. The levy adjustment will take place at the Aug. 21 meeting and is anticipated not to be more than the levy approved on Tuesday night. The board voted to approve a memorandum of understanding with Preferred Family Healthcare to provide additional therapy services to students in the district. The district already contracts with the North Missouri Mental Health Center and Preferred for some counseling services, however, the MOU would make additional services available to those students who do not
meet the eligibility requirements under the contracted arrangement. The board set the 2020 graduation date for 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 10 at the Ketcham Community Center and approved early graduation requests from Mary McNabb and Madi Cutsinger. Both girls would be allowed to participate in prom and graduation. An amendment to the 2018 fiscal year audit was approved. Stegman said the original audit showed the district having bonds due that had already been refunded. Also approved was a memorandum of understanding with the Grundy County Health Department for use of R-9 facilities during a disaster, the special education compliance plan, the conflict of interest ordinance, the AnSee R-9, Page 3

There was little agreement by the Trenton City Council on many of the items on which action was taken during a meeting on Monday night, with four of five ordinances as well as one of three staff recommendations being approved on split votes. On a vote of 5-3, the council approved a contract with Toth and Associates to do an electric rate study for the city. Councilman Brad Chumbley, who was a no vote along with Lou Fisher and Danny Brewer, said the electric department was currently in a good financial situation and that “now was not the time” for a study to be done. He said he felt the money the city would be spending for the study could be better spent by improving infrastructure, but added that a study might be needed in the future. Larry Crawford, who voted in favor of the measure, said the study would help the city plan for any future changes in electric service and keep the city “out in front” of any potential problems. It has been estimated the study would cost between $15,000 and $18,000. Also voting in favor of the ordinance were Glen Briggs, Cathie Smith, David Mlika and John Dolan. On a vote of 7-1, the council accepted the low bid from Peregrine Service Inc. of Kansas City for billing and mailing services for the city of Trenton. The action was taken in anticipation of the retirement early next year of an employee who currently handles utility bill mailing. According to TMU Comptroller Rosetta Marsh, using the billing service would save the utility money, get bills to customers quicker and would not require employment of another fulltime staff person to replace the individual now doing that work. TMU plans to have the new system in place with the November billing cycle. Briggs cast the lone no vote, indicating earlier in the discussion his concern about no longer using the services of the Grundy County Opportunity Center to stuff the utility bill envelopes. On a vote of 6-2, the council approved an agreement with David Tolen to rent the north end of the former PSF hangar at the airport at a cost of $285 a month. Briggs and Brewer cast the lone no votes. Approved on an 8-0 vote was a contract with Olsson and Associates to supply construction administration, inspection and material testing services for the 17th Street Bridge replacement project. The company also did the design work on the bridge. On a 5-3 vote, the council voted to proceed with hiring See City, Page 7

Missouri Tigers
Bryant Set To Take Over At Mizzou COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Barry Odom never seems stressed about the future, whether the Missouri coach is pondering tough sanctions handed down by the NCAA over a recruiting scandal or the fact that one of the most prolific passers in school history is now in the NFL. When it comes to the pun-
ishments, Odom knew that outside of an appeal there was little he could do. When it came to the quarterback situation, he knew Kelly Bryant was in the fold. The graduate transfer from Clemson is expected to seamlessly take over for Drew Lock under center this season. Bryant backed up Deshaun Watson for two seasons with the Tigers, then led them to the 2017 national championship game before losing his job to Trevor Lawrence after four games last season. His saving grace was a change to NCAA guidelines that allowed Bryant, who started four games as a senior, to retain a full year of eligibility. And he decided that year
would be spent in Columbia. "The ceiling is high for this group," Bryant insisted. "We just have to take it one day at a time. Don't try to look forward to the season and focus on the right now and what's going on right now." Still, the responsibility Bryant inherited is massive. Lock started 46 games over the course of four seasons, throwing for 12,193 yards and 99 touchdowns while leading the Tigers to bowl games each of the past two years. The only quarterback to throw for more yards and touchdowns at Missouri is Chase Daniel, who has gone on to a long NFL career. Odom is confident Bryant has the same ability. The only question was whether Mis-
souri could land his commitment when Auburn, Arkansas, Miami and other schools entered the mix. "When Kelly stepped on campus for his official visit, I saw interaction between him and our team in the locker room. It was a natural fit," Odom said. "He's a very selfless person, low, low ego. And one of the best competitors that I have ever been around." Bryant also is loyal. He never wavered on his decision, even when the NCAA banned Missouri from the postseason following allegations by a tutor of providing players impermissible help. The school has been hopeful that an appeal will effectively overturn most of the sanctions.

Pleasant View R-6 The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education approved its tax rate during a meeting on Tuesday night. According to information provided by Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the district set the tax levy at $4.8094 on the $100 assessed valuation. This is a slight increase from the 2018 rate of $4.7616 and is anticipated to generate $393,009 in local tax revenue.

Approval was given to the Annual Secretary of the Board Report as well as the state transportation report, the 2019-20 bus routes and the free and reduced lunch guidelines.

OP/ED
The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
Bright Futures Provides Help A few statistics from the 2019 Bright Futures Trenton Back to School Event held on Aug. 6 (courtesy of Rissler Elementary Principal Terri Critten): • Backpacks and school supplies to 116 preschool/elementary students and 107 middle school/high school students (223 total). • “Pass the Pride” shared community-donated Trenton Bulldog apparel with over 300 students. • Gently-used gym shoes (collected by Cub Scout Pack 23 and prepared by ladies from the Wesley Diane Lowrey United Methodist Church) to 85 elementary school students. • Hygiene items (provided by the Wesley United Methodist and First Assembly of God churches) given to 204 students. • New Soles for Bright Futures (Hodge Presbyterian Church) provided new shoes to 234 students. • Over 35 tables of clothing were offered by the First Christian Church. • Hy-Vee provided meals to 160 persons at a cookout that evening at Moberly Park prior to a free swim at the Trenton Family Aquatic Center, provided by the Grundy County Health Department. • Over 80 volunteers from the community shared their time in preparing and carrying out the day’s activities. I happened to be at the high school during the morning activities and had the chance to witness first-hand what this event means to those who need a little help in getting ready for the school year. I saw two little boys, who were there with their grandmother, as they were leaving the school with their backpacks on and smiles on their faces. To me, those smiles represented the importance of Bright Futures Trenton, not only to the students and their families but to the community as well. Kudos to Bright Futures for what they are doing and what they will be continuing to do in the future. ********** And speaking of back to school...1,069 students were in class on the first day of school at Trenton R-9 on Wednesday. This was 29 students less than the total counted a year ago, a trend that has been occurring not only in Trenton, but in surrounding school districts the past couple of years. While final numbers in other area districts are not yet available, I anticipate the student count to be down from a year ago as well. It is worth noting that while there are only 69 seniors this year, future class numbers show the student count in the mid- to upper-80s. Numbers do start going down in the upper elementary grades, but trend back up in grades kindergarten through two. Enrollment numbers for Trenton as well as Grundy R5 and Tri-County appear on the front page of today’s paper. Classes will be starting at Laredo R-7 on Tuesday and at Spickard R-2, Pleasant View R-6, NewtownHarris R-3, Harrison County R-4 and Princeton R-5 on Wednesday.
Support Sought For CBC Letters to the Editor To The Editor: The laboratory at Wright Memorial Hospital would like to ask the Trenton area and surrounding communities to support and sponsor the Community Blood Center in its blood drives. The Community Blood Center is the sole provider of blood products to the hospital and many others in the surrounding area. The hospital provides transfusion services vital to an area of approximately a 30-mile radius of Trenton. The center’s
blood drives help assure an adequate stock of blood products for the hospital. The need for all donor types is always great and at certain times of the year even greater.

What Others Are Saying... Taking Action Congress, which is generally incapable of accomplishing much of anything, is inching toward a consensus on at least one commonsense remedy for gun violence: state-based "red flag" laws.
Guest Editorials Red flag statutes, also known as extreme risk protection orders, allow authorities to temporarily seize firearms from persons considered imminent threats, either to themselves or other people. A judge has to grant the order. President Donald Trump likes the idea. "We must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms," he said Monday after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. "That is why I have called for red flag laws." Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, endorsed the idea. "State red flag laws will provide the tools for law enforcement to do something about many of these situations before it's too late," he said. Graham's statement is an admission that Congress can't pass a federal red flag law. Instead, Washington is thinking about giving grants to the states to pass their own statutes or withholding federal funds from states that don't. Today, 17 states have some version of a red flag law. Missouri and Kansas aren't among them. That must change next year, no matter what Congress does. Legislators in both states should pass laws enabling authorities to intervene when clear evidence suggests someone is about to engage in violent behavior. Missouri state Sen. Jill Schupp, a St. Louis County Democrat, offered a red flag bill earlier this year. "We're not trying to take people's guns away from them for the long haul," she said Wednesday. "We're trying to keep them safe." She plans to offer a similar bill next year. Pro-gun activists won't be happy. "A 'red flag gun seizure' would allow virtually anyone who doesn't like you to be able to make up a bogus complaint, allowing a liberal judge to order your firearms to be confiscated," claimed Aaron Dorr of the Missouri Firearms Coalition. Moriah Day of the Kansas State Rifle Association agrees. "The Second Amendment applies even when someone is going through a tough time, so suffering from depression alone should not disqualify someone from possessing a firearm," he told The Star's Editorial Board. Some Kansas lawmakers are frustrated. "We have red flag ... legislation sitting in committee," said Kansas state Sen. Dinah Sykes, a Democrat. "I am not optimistic that anything will pass." That would be a dangerous mistake. We're confident that judges can fairly decide if guns should be seized in true crisis situations and that a realistic system of appeal can be established. And what's the alternative? If someone privately threatens to shoot up a school or a shopping mall — or

No Reason To Close Record Auditor Nicole Galloway is trying, unsuccessfully so far, to get the state Attorney General's Office to weigh in on whether a government entity should be able to hide certain information from the public. Specifically, can public agencies redact information related to individuals conducting business with, lobbying or attempting to influence that government entity? In early May, Galloway's office requested a legal opinion on the issue from state Attorney General Eric Schmitt. On Wednesday, she publicly scolded Schmitt's office for not getting back with her on the issue within 90 days, which it had pledged to do. Galloway believes governmental agencies should not be allowed to hide the information in question. "The Attorney General is charged with enforcing the Sunshine Law," she said in a statement. "I would expect that he would give an opinion as to whether it is appropriate to redact the information of those attempting to conduct business with or lobby a government entity. Missourians deserve to know who is influencing their government." Why, you ask, is the auditor asking the question? Because in Gov. Mike Parson's office, attorneys have cited First Amendment freedom of speech as a reason to hide the identities of private residents with which the office has been in contact. His office has said disclosure of such information may have a chilling effect on individuals contacting their government, and that the office has redacted such information in the past without citing the First Amendment, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has reported. Meanwhile, keep in mind the politics of the situation. Galloway is the only Democrat who holds a statewide office and is the expected Democrat challenger to Parson when he seeks a full term to the office next year. This could be an issue on the campaign — and a way to force Schmitt to go on record on the issue. Galloway, Parson, Schmitt and others might care about the politics of the situation. We don't. What's right is right, and regardless of a pending opinion from the AG's office, we're glad to weigh in with ours: Government records are created with our money and our blessing. They should be open. Yes, there are exceptions, and they're outlined in the state's Sunshine Law. But generally, anyone in contact with a governmental agency shouldn't be able to hide their business with that agency. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

murder a spouse, or children — must friends and family step aside and wait until he or she actually pulls the trigger? No. Red flag laws are particularly effective in preventing gun suicides, experts believe. That's another reason to pursue these measures. Red flag laws won't stop every shooting. Policymakers must pursue an all-of-the-above approach to reducing gun violence. But the slaughters in Texas and Ohio are yet another reminder that there are too many weapons in the hands of killers. Red flag laws with bipartisan backing in Kansas and Missouri could help address that tragic reality and make our states safer. — Kansas City Star

Wesley Women Hold Meeting Eleven members of the Wesley United Methodist Women met in the aldersgate room of the church for their monthly meeting on Aug. 8. Barbara Knudsen was hostess. Betty Cox gave the devotions based on Philippians 4: 11-13 and provided the program, which was a summary of the documentary on the Navy Seawolves recently shown at the Grundy CountyJewett Norris Library. Local resident Larry Huffstutter and former resident Eric Alexander were members of this all-volunteer group serving during the Vietnam War. Mrs. Cox closed the program with a reading by President Ronald Reagan on the National Day of Prayer. The group learned that 96 pairs of gently used gym shoes collected by Cub Pack 23 and made ready for the Bright Futures Trenton Back to School Event by their organization were distributed on Aug. 6 with Wenda Seymour and Babe Roy representing Wesley.
Ten women’s and 10 men’s Festival of Sharing hygiene bags were assembled from items donated by the congregation and were also handed out during the back to school event. Several smaller bags of health supplies were prepared for giving to younger children. Officers were elected for the 2020-2022 biennium. They include President Wenda Seymour, Vice President Gayla Batson, Co-Secretaries Betty Elton and Babe Roy and Treasurer Mary Lou Crawford. Pat McWilliams, Mary Holt and Gayla Batson gave updates on the health of several persons. Prayer shawls made by Marge Schapaugh were blessed and dedicated to be distributed to members when needed. Barb Knudsen reminded members that the local library was an excellent resource for spiritual reading material. The next meeting will be on Sept. 12 with Betty Elton serving as hostess and giving the program. Babe Roy will have the devotions.

NEW BUILDING PROVIDES HOME FOR STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Our state’s history found a new home on Saturday. There was ribbon cutting for a new building for our State Historical Society. MU president Mon Choi said we’ve waited 121 years for the society to have its own building. The structure on the north edge of MU campus holds more than history. It’s called “Center for Missouri Studies.� History classes will be held here. You and I are in their collections. Anyone mentioned in a Missouri newspaper is in the microfilm collection. Most films go back to all papers’ starts. I first used the history library in 1957, writing my freshman English class term paper on the “Honey War.� That’s a dispute between Iowa and Missouri, over where the state line would be. The area teemed with hollow trees full of bees with valued honey. This “war� affected my family and me. It determined that I would be a Missourian, not Iowan. Moving of the state line affected an olden family member. He served in Iowa and

Missouri state legislatures without moving from his house. The state line moved, not him. I would’ve been an Iowan, based on family history. But, a house to rent when my parents married was a few yards south of the state line. I was born in suburban South Lineville, Mo. I was born at home. New mothers didn’t go to hospitals for birthing. Two grandmothers and a mid-wife came to tend my mother and me. My birthplace set a path for education at MU in Columbia. That’s good as Missouri has the best journalism school and ag college compared to that other land-grant in Ames, IA. That’s a personal bias. I connect with more recent state history. I was shocked when a Historical Society editor met me on the building tour. She asked: “Aren’t you the mule-history photographer?� Yep, Dr. Melvin Bradley, MU equine specialist, led me a couple of years making oral histories and photos of mule owners. That’s my education in state lore. Missouri is “The Mule State.� Fame came from supplying mules to power the fight in World War One. Our mules went back to war in WW II. The world learned of our state’s
mules. I knew mules early, as a farm boy. My grandfather Dailey sold the first Model T Fords across a wide area. He took mule teams in on trade. His mules and horses ended up on the farm owned by my father. I grew up with both. That’s when I learned mules are smarter than horses. That belief, shared by old mule men and women was told in many history interviews. Those stories add a mass of papers, miles and miles of paper, in the SHS collection. Former Sen. Kit Bond attended the dedication. He’d added 400 boxes of his papers after retirement. Many politicians who helped gain the building appropriation were there in bipartisan support. Leading off was Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe. He was followed by northwest Missouri State Sen. Dan Hegeman an early sponsor. The new center holds more than history papers. A library spreads out in impressive display. Also, large galleries hold Missouri Art particularly by Thomas Hart Benton and George Caleb Bingham. Family historians will find all more accessible now on their trip to Columbia. In his introduction, Society leader Gary Kremer promised lots of free parking for patrons. MU campus isn’t known for that perk. Come visit. Several speakers noted the center provides a link between town and gown. It has two front doors: North to the city. South to campus.

Women In NRCS Names First Conservationist Of The Year University of Missouri Extension specialist Rachel Hopkins received the first Conservationist of the Year Award from Women in NRCS. Ms. Hopkins is an MU Extension county engagement specialist based in Potosi and a fourth-generation Crawford County cattle producer. WIN awarded Ms. Hopkins for her efforts to conserve and improve land and water on the 1,100 acres of pasture and timber that she and her father own. WIN is an organization founded by female employees of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. About four years ago, Ms. Hopkins committed to adding fencing and water to the family cattle pastures. She and her dad put in portable electric fencing and several thousand feet of permanent barbed and high-tensile electric wire to create paddocks for management intensive grazing of their 150-head herd. Paddocks range from 1.5 to 25 acres. They also laid 7,000 feet of pipe for watering systems and built ponds on hills where well water could not be pumped. Resources of several groups and programs, including the Crawford County Soil and Water Conservation District, Missouri Department of Conservation, and Ozark Land Trust, helped them to accomplish their goal. The MIG system eases the workload and improves the land for generations to come, she says. “It’s mutually beneficial for us and natural resources.� As part of the farm’s ongoMs. Hopkins keeps cattle away from the clear waters of Rock Branch, a tributary of the Huzzah River. The entire operation’s fencing system excludes cattle from more than 4 miles of the Huzzah River and a couple tributaries. They worked with the Nature Conservancy, Ozark Land Trust, Missouri Department of Conservation and a local landowner committee to obtain funds through the federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment program. The funds are from a legal settlement with southeastern Missouri lead mining companies. They can be used for conservation efforts and restoration of natural resources. The NRDA funds helped pay for equipment and labor to remove timber and bury trees in the creek bank to slow erosion. Root wads face upstream to divert water and reduce sediment loss. This will stabilize 1,000 feet of creek bank when the project is completed in August. Persons can learn more at https://extension2.missouri.edu/programs/nrcs-mu-grasslands-project.
Farmers Use Tech To Squeeze Every Drop From Colorado River GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — A drone soared over a blazing hot cornfield in northeastern Colorado on a recent morning, snapping images with an infrared camera to help researchers decide how much water they would give the crops the next day. After a brief, snaking flight above the field, the drone landed and the researchers removed a handful of memory cards. Back at their computers, they analyzed the images for signs the corn was stressed from a lack of water. This U.S. Department of Agriculture station outside Greeley and other sites across the Southwest are experimenting with drones, specialized cameras and other technology to squeeze the most out of every drop of water in the Colorado River — a vital but beleaguered waterway that serves an estimated 40 million people. Remote sensors measure soil moisture and relay the readings by Wi-Fi. Cellphone apps collect data from agricultural weather stations and calculate how much water different crops are consuming.

ture — a practice called deficit irrigation. In the future, tiny needles attached to plants could directly measure how much water they contain and signal irrigation systems to automatically switch on or off. "It's like almost every month somebody's coming up with something here and there," said Don Ackley, water management supervisor for the Coachella Valley Water District in Southern California. Researchers and farmers are running similar experiments in arid regions around the world. The need is especially pressing in seven U.S. states that rely on the Colorado River: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The river has plenty of water this summer after an unusually snowy winter in the mountains of the U.S. West. But climatologists warn the river's long-term outlook is uncertain at best and dire at worst, and competition for water will only intensify as the population grows and the climate changes. The World Resources Institute says the seven Colorado River states have some of the highest levels of water stress in the nation, based on the per-

centage of available supplies they use in a year. New Mexico was the only state in the nation under extremely high water stress. The federal government will release a closely watched projection Thursday on whether the Colorado River system has enough water to meet all the demands of downstream states in future years. The river supplies more than 7,000 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) of farmland and supports a $5 billion-ayear agricultural industry, including a significant share of the nation's winter vegetables, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages most of the big dams and reservoirs in the Western states. The Pacific Institute, an environmental group, says the river also irrigates about 700 square miles (1,820 square kilometers) in Mexico. Agriculture uses 57% to 70% of the system's water in the U.S., researchers say. The problem facing policymakers is how to divert some of that to meet the needs of growing cities without drying up farms, ranches and the environment. The researchers' goal is understanding crops, soil and weather so completely that farmers know exactly when and how much to irrigate. The Palo Verde Irrigation District in Southern California is trying deficit irrigation on alfalfa, the most widely grown crop in the Colorado River Basin. Alfalfa, which is harvested as hay to feed horses and cattle, can be cut and baled www.republican-times.com

several times a year in some climates. The Palo Verde district is experimenting with reduced water for the midsummer crop, which requires more irrigation but produces lower yields. Sensors placed over the test plots indirectly measure how much water the plants are using, and the harvested crop is weighed to determine the yield. "The question then becomes, what's the economic value of the lost crop versus the economic value of the saved water?" said Bart Fisher, a third-generation farmer and a member of the irrigation district board. Blaine Carian, who grows grapes, lemons and dates in Coachella, California, already uses deficit irrigation. He said withholding water at key times improves the flavor of his grapes by speeding up the production of sugar. He also uses on-farm weather stations and soil moisture monitors, keeping track of the data on his cellphone. His drip and micro-spray irrigation systems deliver water directly to the base of a plant or its roots instead of saturating an entire field. For Carian and many other farmers, the appeal of technology is as much about economics as saving water. But researchers say watersaving technology could determine whether some farms can stay in business at all, especially in Arizona, which faces cuts in its portion of Colorado River water under a drought contingency plan the seven states hammered out this year. www.republican-times.com

North Central Missouri College Upward Bound high school students from Trenton, Galt, Hamilton, Gallatin, Chillicothe and Jamesport recently spent five weeks on the NCMC campus participating in academically and culturally enhancing activities through the UB Summer Component. Some of the activities included academic classes ranging from Spanish, history, biology, chemistry, math, creative writing, art and computer coding designed to prepare them for the next year of school and beyond. Recent UB high school graduates enrolled in NCMC college courses where they were able to receive mentoring, tutoring and enrollment assistance. Students also participated in college visits, cultural trips and team-building activities. At the end of the summer component, participants went on a six-day trip to Orange Beach, AL with stops also at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the Naval Aviation Museum.

Olsson and Associates to develop an airport improvement plan. The city received requests for qualification proposals from two companies, with a committee of city officials recommending Olsson to do the work. Airport Manager Donnie Vandevender said the city needs to have an engineer and agreement in place by Sept. 15 in order not to lose $118,000 in FAA funding that would be available for airport work. The council has discussed improvements needed at the airport, including new hangars. Voting in favor were Briggs, Fisher, Mrs. Smith, Mlika and Dolan. Brewer, Chumbley and Crawford voted no.

use a city-owned building at the airport for storage. The 6,000-square foot building was once occupied by a dog treat company and the Trenton R-9 School District. City Administrator Ron Urton said the street department and TMU have both indicated they have equipment that could be stored in the building, which was described by council members as “unrentable� due to past flooding issues. The city will need to spend around $5,500 for two overhead doors before the building can be used. Also approved on an 8-0 vote was a recommendation from the Building and Nuisance Board to increase the amount of money the city would pay to help property owners in the demolition program tear down dilapidated structures. The amount was in-
creased by $750 to $2,500 per structure. Vandevender, who is also the city code enforcement officer, said the increase was requested in an effort to get more property owners to participate in the program. In other business, the council was told: • all 12 substation generation units passed the RICE emissions testing. • a technician from ADM is to be in Trenton next week for inspection of the new asphalt plant, with work under way to schedule air quality testing for the plant’s DNR permit. • a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20 for the 17th Street Bridge project, with bids to be opened on Aug. 30. Demolition work on buildings in the area is continuing. • the city is working with the school district regarding
the Normal Street sewer project, which is nearly complete. The street department was doing overlay work on Tuesday and Wednesday, causing the intersection of 12th and Normal streets to be closed. • the new disinfection system at the wastewater plant is now online and work will now begin on the headworks project. An executive session for personnel was also held. It was announced that Brad Griffin has been promoted to the position of electric distribution supervisor, effective Sept. 1. Griffin will replace Mark Newton, who is retiring on Aug. 31. Griffin will receive a $3,000 per year increase to $54,043, with a $1,500 increase after a six-month probation period.

Tri-County R-7 According to Superintendent Secretary Heather Turner,
enrollment was up at TriCounty R-7 at Jamesport, where 163 students were enrolled on Thursday morning. That number is up two students over the number enrolled in grades kindergarten through 12th grade on the first day last year. In addition, there are 20 students enrolled in the district’s preschool program. Excluding preschool, there are 49 students in grades kindergarten through four, with kindergarten and first grade each having 11 students, while there were 10 students in second
grade, five students in third grade and 12 students in fourth grade. There were no individual class enrollment numbers available for grades five through 12, but there are a total of 114 students enrolled in those grades. Classes start on Tuesday, Aug. 20 in the Laredo R-7 School District while the first day of classes in the Spickard R-2, Pleasant View R-6, Newtown-Harris R-3, Harrison County R-4 and Princeton R-5 is Wednesday, Aug. 21.

But this depends on personal preference, and your preference is not to have the dog in bed while her preference is to have him with her. She may apologize for allowing the dog in bed, but her actions say that she loves having her four-legged friend near at night. Tell her how you feel and see if you can come up with a compromise. Maybe buy the dog a nice bed. Or create a rule that the dog can only stay at the end of your bed. Regardless of the outcome, you need to have another conversation about it. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Grieving Father" about why no one asked how he was doing. My husband passed away two years ago from a massive heart attack. We never had a chance to say goodbye, and I miss him very much. My dearest friends were with me when he passed. They are all still couples, and they have kept me busy with activities and invites to dinner -- but have not asked me how I am doing. Yet, other friends who have
Dear Annie: I met a great gal. We seem really good together most of the time, but here's the rub. She has a dog. It is a nice dog but not very well trained. The big problem is bedtime at my place. The dog wants to share our bed, and is uncontrollably insistent about it, whining and disturbing us throughout the night until she gives up and allows the dog to get in bed with us. I must deal with it or go sleep elsewhere. Apparently, this dog gets to sleep with her at home, so hey, why not here? It ruins intimacy and makes it hard to sleep. She apologizes, but is doing nothing to train this dog to accept the floor as its dog bed. Am I out of line to want our bed dog-free? What does this say for our chances? -- Doggone it! Dear Doggone It: Actions speak, or should I say bark, louder than words. It is time to have another conversation with your girlfriend about her dog. Sleeping in bed with your dog is a very personal decision. Studies have shown that it can be therapeutic for both the dog and owner. 3,040

lost their spouse have often asked me how am I doing. They understand the loss and the lonely nights. I finally went to counseling for about six months and came to the conclusion that there will be times when "waves of emotion" are triggered by a movie or an ad or even a clue in a crossword puzzle, and that these moments are a reflection of a wonderful marriage and that I should cherish them. I think my "couple" friends don't ask because they don't want to think about experiencing the loss themselves. So I appreciate their keeping me involved in my daytime activities. As a senior citizen, I will be there for them when their losses come. Many thanks to my friends who have lost a loved one.
