Hawley Seeks Investigation KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri is pushing for federal investigations into uninhabitable conditions at some public housing serving mostly low-income residents in Missouri. Hawley announced Friday he has sent letters to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Attorney’s Office urging investigations.

Elementary and preschool students in Trenton will have application forms sent home with them or families who would like to enroll in the project can pick up applications at the Trenton Police Department or at the radio station during normal business hours. Individuals may also contact Kiwanis Club program coordinator Kara Helmandollar at 359-5966 to have a form mailed. To be eligible a family must live in

Grundy County, have custody of the children for whom they are seeking assistance and meet income guidelines based on the 2019 Federal Poverty guidelines. Forms will need to be completed and returned by Dec. 1 to either the Kiwanis mailing address on the form or to the radio station. The program is designed to assist low income families with children ages 12 and under with Christmas gifts for their children. Each child is able to request a specific gift, valued at $30 or less. Kiwanis Club members attempt to keep Christmas magical for children by

National Weather Service Clouds move in this week with snow and rain forecast for Thanksgiving Day. Highs will be in the low 30s to low 40s, with lows dipping as low as 26. The high on Thursday at Trenton was 36 with .05 of an inch of rain. Friday’s high was 47, Saturday’s high was 57 with .21 of an inch of rain recorded. The high on Sunday was 64, with a low of 32.

granting those wishes. Funding for the Christmas Wish Project comes from the generosity of area businesses and residents and there are several ways donations can be made. Beginning on Dec. 1, an individual can purchase a specified gift (as aired on KTTN) and drop off the gift at Farmers State Bank, Dave’s Body Shop or the radio station. Monetary donations will also be accepted at those same locations and will be used to purchase specific gifts. Also on Dec. 1, individuals can visit the Christmas Wish Tree at Farmers State Bank and pick up

a tag, purchase the gift and return the gift with the tag attached to the bank. Mrs. Helmandollar said the community has been tremendous supporters of this project for over 30 years, something for which Kiwanis members are quite thankful. “The holidays can be an especially stressful time for families, particularly those with limited incomes,” she said. “The Kiwanis Club, in conjunction with this caring community of individuals and businesses, is thrilled to help keep the magic of Christmas alive for children in our community.”

It was a night of celebration for East Buchanan High School on Friday. As the school’s most distinguished alumni - the Iba family - sat courtside, the school dedicated its court, which now bears the Iba name. Just 30 minutes after the ceremony began, there were still basketball games to be played. It was fitting for the occassion that East Buchanan picked up two wins on the Iba Family Court. It was unfortunate for Trenton High School, that it had to represent the opponent on such a night. East Buchanan held off Trenton 49-46 in the girls game, then ran away with the boys contest, 71-28. TRENTON GIRLS The beginning stages of the girls game were marred by turnovers by both teams. It was East Buchanan who settled down first and a 6-0 run by the host school put Trenton in a 12-6 hole at the end of the first quarter. But Trenton regrouped and held right with East Buch over the course of the second and third quarters. East Buchanan opened the fourth quarter on another small run, though, and threatened to take Trenton out of the game. Trenton trailed 41-31 but, despite losing a pair of starters who fouled out, made one final run. In the end, it was a 15-8 run for Trenton to close the game. But that effort still came up three points shy of picking up a seasonopening win. “I was proud of how hard the girls played, and how they responded in a really tough environment,� Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “We just didn’t execute well enough to get a win. East Buch did a good job of dictating the pace on us early and kind of controlled what we did. That was a problem early, but I was really proud of how the girls responded.� Maci Moore led Trenton with 25 points and also added nine rebounds. McKayla Blackburn scored eight points and had four assists. Chandler Lynch had six points, Allena Allen added three points and seven rebounds and Lexi Whitaker and Kendall Crowley each finished with two points to round out the Bull-

dogs’ total. With the loss, Trenton’s girls established an 0-1 record to start the season. TRENTON BOYS The Trenton boys more than had their hands full with East Buchanan, a team that features Ethan Kilgore, who just recently signed a national letter of intent to continue his basketball playing career with NCAA Division I school Idaho. Kilgore and the rest of the East Buch line-up created some big match-up problems for Trenton. The Bulldogs trailed 18-6 after the initial quarter and 45-12 at halftime. East Buch ran off a 21-12 run in the third quarter before easing off the accelerator in the fourth as Trenton fell by 43 points. Despite the lopsided final score, first-year coach Corbin Coe saw positives in the season-opening loss. “The effort was good,� Coe said. “Offensively we arrived aligned and in space. We had good ball movement. Possessions were going good and then sometimes we would shoot ourselves in the foot without getting a clean catch. Our footwork needs to be a little bit better. Defensively, it was the first time these kids have played man for 32 minutes for some time. We did some good things there and we need to clean up some things.� Trenton was led in the loss by Chase Otto’s eight points. Jaren Whitney, Royce Jackson and Kayden Spencer all three finished with six points. Whitney added three assists and Jackson pulled down nine rebounds. Rounding out the Trenton total was Gavin Roeder, who had two points. “I thought (this game) did a really good job of showing where we are at,� Coe said. “We can go back and watch film and see these drives are getting stopped because of (East Buchanan’s) athleticism and things like that. We have to get better, but as far as how we were moving them and what we are doing, we are closer to turning the corner than people think.� The loss put Trenton at 0-1 overall to start the season. Both Trenton teams will be back in action on Monday, Dec. 2 at the Gallatin Tournament. The Trenton girls, seeded first, will face off with eighth-seeded Gilman City at 4:30 p.m. Trenton’s boys are seeded third and will take on sixth-seeded Hardin Central at 5:45 p.m.

with both hands. On the Pirates’ first offensive possession of the game, the Ketcham Community Center erupted. North Central kept the foot on the gas from that point, setting the tone for a 110-87 victory over visiting Southeast on Saturday. The win was the fifth in a row for North Central and pushed the Pirates to 9-1 overall on the season. NCMC is still receiving votes in the NJCAA Division II National Poll. Southeast entered the game as a one-loss team in its own right, but the visitors were ambushed by the Pirates energy and pace - factors the Storm simply couldn’t match. “I thought our guys came into the game focused and determined to get a win and it showed with their energy in the first 20 minutes,� North Central coach Jeremy Esry said. “We did a great job of playing at a great pace, sharing the ball and being relentless on both sides of the court.� The Pirates used a relentless pressure defense to open up transition scoring and assists like Jackson’s to Rieves on the first possession were commonplace. North Central finished the game with 20 team assists. By the time halftime finally arrived, Southeast was done, trailing 66-40. NCMC was able to coast at times in the

and holding on for a 10-point victory. The Pirates jumped out to a 24-14 lead in the first quarter, but as the turnovers began to mount, Southeast made a run. At one point North Central turned the ball over on five straight possessions as the Storm took advantage, closing the gap to 37-32 by halftime. “We had 21 turnovers in the first half against a two-three zone that wasn’t really pressuring us,� Pirates’ coach Jenni Croy said. “We were extremely frustrated with that. This team is learning to push the ball in transition, yet be in control. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and we try to force things that aren’t really there. In the second half I felt like we did a better job of not forcing it and working the ball a little bit better.� The second half was better, despite Southeast momentarily taking the lead early in the third quarter. North Central closed the frame on a small run to keep the advantage at five points entering the fourth quarter. There NCMC did just enough to put the Storm away, taking the game by the 10-point spread.

LOCAL Rotary Hears From Coaches Winter sports coaches at Trenton High School presented the program at the Thursday, Nov. 21 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Brian Upton was the program chairman. Wrestling Coach Charlie Bacon said there are 22 athletes out for this year’s team, including five girls. Seniors Noah Lewis and Mark Trump are the only returning state qualifiers from a year ago. Bacon said this should be the year that Trenton has a full lineup at each match, something that hasn’t happened for awhile. The team opens at the Marceline Tournament on Dec. 7. Kameron Cool is the new coach for the girls basketball team, which as 16 players, including four seniors. Lexi Whitaker and McKayla Blackburn are two returning players who are being counted on to

provide leadership, having seen a lot of court time a year ago. The boys team also has a new coach, Corbin Coe. The team has 23 players with only one senior, Jaren Whitney. The boys and girls opened their season at East Buchanan on Friday night and will have their first home game on Dec. 10, hosting Marceline. During the business meeting, members were reminded that Dec. 5 is the deadline to submit meal choices for the Rotary Christmas dinner on Dec. 12. It was also announced that “Giving Tuesday,� in support of the Rotary Foundation, is Dec. 3. There will be no meeting on Thursday, Nov. 28 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

MAKING A “WAVE� AT NCMC by Melissa Spencer NCMC Dance Wave Coach From cheerleaders to pom squads to dance crews, you will be seeing a new group adding spirit to our NCMC campus. The Dance Wave Crew consists of 12 students from the surrounding areas, all seeking degrees at NCMC. These girls bring with them cheer, pom, dance and gymnastic backgrounds. The DWC will be performing at all the home Pirate and Lady Pirate basketball games this season. Melissa Spencer They have made some public appearances which included the Missouri Day Parade and working concession during the NCMC alumni baseball game. Besides the home basketball games, the girls are scheduled to perform during our Holiday Lighting on Nov. 18 and Trenton’s Downtown Christmas on Dec. 14. The first DWC was formed strictly by recruitment during Spring 2019. We quickly started signing dancers and jumped into dance clinics, workshops, and camps by mid-summer. Members of the 2019-2020 Dance Wave Crew are Katie Adkison, Skyler Adkison and Shaylea East of Hamilton; Carly Beebe of Chillicothe; Chasidy Finney of Cainsville; Kassie Frederick of Kirksville; Kayley Griffin and Thelma Guerrero of Trenton; Audra Lee of Winigan; Sarabeth Michael of Gallatin; Essie Williamson of Gilman City; and Karley Young of Maysville. The coach is Melissa Spencer. We are thankful for the opportunity to get this new program started and the support we have gotten has been overwhelming. We hope that you will come out and help us support our NCMC Pirate and Lady Pirate Basketball players as well as all our athletes at NCMC.

COMMUNITY Vera Cox Gives Club Program Vera Cox presented the program on “salesman’s samples� when the Antique Study Club met on Nov. 15 at the home of Robin Wilson. There were 15 members present. Salesman’s samples and patent models are often mistaken for toys or homemade folk art pieces. They are actual working models made by very skilled craftsmen who worked as model makers. Patent models were made until the early 1900s. After that, the patent office no longer required a model to grant a patent. Often the name of the inventor or the model maker and the date it

was built is noted on the patent model. Salesman’s samples were occasionally made by model makers, but more often by an employee of the company. These usually carry advertising messages to boost the sale of the product. Though they are still in use today, the most desirable examples date from the 1800s to about 1945. The next meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 13 at the home of Ann Constant for the club’s Christmas salad luncheon. Barbara Knudsen will have the program on picture postcards.

Eight members of the Shakespearean Circle met on Nov. 20 at the First Christian Church Family Activity Center in Trenton. Members answered roll call with a quote from Act V of this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studied play, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Troilus and Cressida.â&#x20AC;? Following the business meeting, Susan Engelmann provided an overview of Act V and a brief summary of the play. She noted how depending upon the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, it could be categorized as a tragedy, a romance or even a comedy. Regardless of genre, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Troilus and Cressidaâ&#x20AC;? is a pessimistic play that features sadness and death. It depicts noble warriors as being brutes and beautiful women as being shallow.

After viewing the video of Act V, a discussion was held regarding the depth of character and the motivation of Cressida, as well as the moral code of the battlefield and the personal integrity of individual Greek and Trojan warriors. Members in attendance were Sarah Dannar, Susan Engelmann, Amy White, and Krista Rickerson from Trenton; Sandy McGinnis from Chillicothe; Carol Reger from Milan; Mary Jane Smith from Princeton; and Terry Cobb from Harris. The next meeting of the Shakespearean Circle will be the annual winter luncheon at noon on Dec. 4 at the First Christian Church Fellowship Hall.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Flood-Prone Houses Being Demolished Under Federal Buyout MOSBY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tammy Kilgore raised the giant claw of a John Deere excavator high in the air, then slammed it down on the roof the house where she had spent nearly her entire adult life. The shingles crunched, but not much else. So she did it again, and again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each time taking a bigger bite with the mouth-like claw, until the roof above her bedroom caved. Lumber and siding fell to the ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my goodness!â&#x20AC;? she exclaimed. The machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operator had given Kilgore the chance to start demolishing her own home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of dozens of flood-prone houses being torn down in this small riverside town northeast of Kansas City under a federally funded buyout program intended to reduce the risks and costs from future flooding. The city of Mosby estimates itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faced 40 floods of varying severity over the past two decades, and Kilgore has lost count of the number of times her home got wet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time it would come up, it would probably ruin our floors,â&#x20AC;? she recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got tired of it.â&#x20AC;? When the voluntary buyouts are complete, nearly half of Mosby will be gone, leaving a patchwork of holdout homes and bare lots. Similar buyout programs have played out in numerous communities ravaged by floods and hurricanes. Over the past three decades, federal and local governments have to buy tens of thousands of vul

nerable properties across the U.S., according to an Associated Press analysis. While buyouts can be emotionally fraught for communities, they can lessen future flood-related costs by demolishing homes that could otherwise keep receiving federal disaster aid or taxpayer-subsidized flood insurance. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating , which caused billions of dollars of damage in more than a dozen states, is likely to lead to more home buyouts. In Iowa, for example, a dozen cities and counties have inquired about the potential of buying out as many as 660 properties. In the future, more buyouts could be necessary nationwide as climate change leads to rising seas and more frequent and intense rainstorms. For those facing buyouts, the process can be both a blessing and curse. It can provide a fresh start for floodweary residents who choose to leave but also sever a sense of community for those left behind. And the process can be stressful: Kilgore, 56, suffered a heart attack in September after a long day of packing. But she was back in town on a cool November morning to watch her old house come down. As Kilgore climbed into the excavator, longtime neighbor Betty Cazzell watched somberly from across the chain-link fence where the two would often chat. Cazzell, 86, opted against applying for a buyout. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the

hassle of leaving a town where she spent all but 10 years of her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some changes, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been kind of gradual,â&#x20AC;? Cazzell said sadly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is kind of like a bomb exploding or something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just all at once, and my neighbors are gone.â&#x20AC;? When the demolitions are done, the houses on either side of Cazzellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be gone. Her granddaughter a few doors down is staying, but her son and daughter-in-law are leaving. Their white wooden house is marked with a bright orange â&#x20AC;&#x153;D2â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; code for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demolition Phase Two,â&#x20AC;? the same thing that was painted on Kilgoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. The 2010 census counted 190 people in Mosby. But that seems generous these days. Mosby began as a railroad town in 1887 nestled along the Fishing River, a tributary of the Missouri River. It grew as coal mining took hold in the first half of the next century. At one point, it had a school, bank and grocery store, but all have since closed. The old school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a dozen-plus basketball trophies still on display â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is now City Hall. The remaining businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an asphalt plant, quarry, lumber center, trucking company and gas station â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are all on the edge of town along a highway. Financial strains led Mosby to disband its police department in 2015. That same year, the town was flooded three times in less than six weeks. Town officials decided in 2016

to apply to the state for a nearly $3 million buyout funded largely through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. About 50 homeowners said they were interested. It took until this summer before they received buyout offers, and about two-thirds have taken the deal. But for some, such as 83year-old Elmer Sullivan, the offer just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to afford a house somewhere else. Sullivan was offered $20,000 for the modest home that he said he bought for $17,000 three decades ago. Since then, he put on a new roof and siding and spent $4,000 rebuilding a garage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is ridiculous. This offer here ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no good,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said, holding the buyout documents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife, she passed away seven years ago. She helped me buy the house, and if I would have sold the house, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d feel like I let her down.â&#x20AC;? Milton and Sally Denney took the buyout for her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old house, which had sat vacant since her death several years ago. But Milton said they turned down a $65,000 offer for their own home because it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowhere near enough money.â&#x20AC;? The Denneys built their house in 1978 with more foresight than most. Its floor is about 4 feet aboveground â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just high enough to stay dry during the floods that have repeatedly encircled the house. For 65-year-old Sally Den-

ney, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent her whole life in Mosby, the buyouts have stirred a sense of disbelief, anger, frustration and fear that her beloved town could eventually be gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all sunk in yet,â&#x20AC;? she said. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna hit, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be very sad.â&#x20AC;? Mosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue is likely to shrink as properties once on the tax rolls become empty plots owned by the city, Mayor Harlin Clements said. The terms of the buyouts prohibit future development. Though buyouts are disruptive, the U.S. saves $7 in avoided costs for every $1 spent through the federally funded grants to acquire or demolish flood-prone buildings, according to a study for the National Institute of Building Sciences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mitigation works, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very successful. It saves the pain and anguish of people that get flooded,â&#x20AC;? former FEMA Administrator James Lee Witt said during a recent session hosted by The Pew Charitable Trusts on ways to reduce local flood risks. Like most who take buyouts, the former residents of Mosby are now scattered. Some have moved to Excelsior

Springs, a city of more than 11,000 immediately east. Others have gone west, toward the Kansas City suburbs. Still others moved into a rural area a few miles north. When Tammy and James Kilgore moved out, they took some pine boards from their porch, a mailbox, a flagpole and plants from their yard. Scavengers quickly swooped in to swipe their furnace, air conditioner and dishwasher. Someone even ripped out the kitchen sink and all the pipes running to it. By the time Tammy Kilgore climbed into the excavator to help tear down her old house, the ransacked interior looked nothing like the home she had left. After taking a few swings with the machine, she passed the controls to a professional. The house was reduced to a pile of rubble in barely 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I can say this, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of love in them walls,â&#x20AC;? Kilgore said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sad at all.â&#x20AC;? The Kilgores put their $45,000 buyout toward a brick house in Excelsior Springs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a home on a hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best decision we ever made,â&#x20AC;? she said.

certainly don't want to take a side. I worry that these arguments are going to affect the kids. While the kids are still pretty young, 7 and 9, the bickering is constant. They fight about every nickel that's spent. When there's no money talk, they're great together. They love each other very much. They just have such opposing views on handling money. They're not rich, but they also don't want for anything. They generally have the same lifestyle expectations; neither is a "big spender" or wasting a lot of money. While this is not my problem per se, I'm wondering how I can help. -- Avoiding Financial Fights Dear Avoiding Financial Fights: You're correct that fighting in front of children is never good. So getting on the same page in regards to finances would be great. The problem is neither one of them wrote to me; you did. And as close as you are to your brother, getting in the middle of his marriage and finances isn't a good idea. The next time they argue over money, you might suggest that they consult with a financial

Dear Annie: I'm very upset about my brother and my sisterin-law's friction over finances. My brother and I are very close. I'm single and spend a lot of time with them and their two kids. They fight about money often. It's mostly centered on their mortgage. My brother thinks they should pay extra every month in an effort to pay off the house faster. He wants the peace of mind of ownership and not having debt. My sisterin-law thinks that's a mistake because they need the money now and get to enjoy the tax write-off the mortgage brings. She also thinks they could invest that money and have a better return from the stock market rather than tie up that money in the house. My brother argues he would rather pay off the house than pay for it over and over again with all of those interest payments. He doubts they'd have the discipline to invest that money, but paying extra on the mortgage is a forced savings. I've rented all my life and don't know much about mortgages, but I've researched this a bit, and there are logical arguments on both fronts. Besides, I

planner. Dear Annie: I have a message for all of the grandparents who complain about their grandchildren not thanking them for gifts. You raised those grandkids' parents. Did you teach them to thank people who give them gifts? I didn't raise my stepchildren, and they were never taught to show that kind of appreciation. Consequently, they haven't taught their own children to say thank you. My nieces were raised as I was: to write thank-you notes from the time they were old enough to print. I kept every thank-you, every birthday card, every note and drawing they ever gave to me up through their young adulthood. They're now both in their 40s, and last year, I sent them each a package with all of those treasures. They were so thrilled that a) I had kept everything and b) they had a chance to read their own sweet youthful notes. One of my nieces has a little girl, and she's teaching her those two really important words: "Thank you." It's up to each generation to teach the next the art of appreciation and manners. -A Happy Auntie Dear Happy Auntie: As my grandmother used to say, "More is caught than taught." You are 100% correct that teaching kids manners starts with their parents.

Online shields

The internet keeps getting more hostile — rife with censorship, spies, data-siphoning companies and criminals. Want proof? Look at the rise of virtual private network software. It can help people circumvent censors and shield their activities from government and other spies. VPNs mask users’ internet addresses and locations, carrying data through encrypted tunnels to internet on-ramps whose geography can vary. Security experts say no one should use a public Wi-Fi connection without one. Worldwide, mobile VPN downloads were up 54% in the past 12 months — to 480 million. That’s nearly the same rate as the previous year. U.K.-based PrivacyCo Ltd., publisher of Indonesia U.S. India UAE Brazil Saudi Arabia Turkey UK Russia Pakistan Mexico Philippines Canada Ukraine South Korea Egypt Vietnam Argentina Germany Colombia Source: PrivacyCo.

Top10VPN.com, cautions that the survey doesn’t include China or Iran because the data is unreliable. Apple hasn’t offered VPN downloads in China since 2017 and Google services are censored. China was long the No. 1 market for VPN downloads and is certainly in the top four, says PrivacyCo analyst Simon Migliano. Of 73 countries studied, the top market was Indonesia, with 75.5 million. The United States was not far behind at 74.6 million. India was third, at 57 million. R Reasons for spikes in worldwide usage include new online censorship laws in Vietnam, bandwidth throttling during election unrest in Indonesia and mass surveillance in Kazakhstan. 75.5 million 74.6 57.0

Top 20 countries by downloads for October 2018 to September 2019 Downloads of virtual private network software are on the rise worldwide, thanks to efforts by governments to censor or spy on internet activities. Indonesia and the U.S. are among the countries with the highest number of downloads. The study excludes China and Iran because data isn’t reliable. Historically, China’s been at the top as well.
