Project Bid At $6,608,500
St. Joseph Firm Gets Construction Project Lawhon Construction of St. Joseph has been chosen as the general contractor for the Trenton R-9 School District construction project that will be taking place over the next two years. During a meeting on Wednesday, the board of education voted 7-0 to accept the Lawhon bid of $6,608,500, which was the lowest among four received. The bid included a base bid of $6,275,000 as well as seven alternates totaling $333,500. The three other bids submitted were all over $7 million, alternates included, and came from Lee Grover of St. Joseph, $7,179,756 ($6,807,370 base); PSR of St. Joseph, $7,201,000 ($684,824,000 base); and Allison Alexander of the Kansas City area, $7,439,000 ($7,085,000 base). Three of the four companies have done projects for North Central Missouri College, with Lawhon having been the contractor for the Ketcham Community Center. Lee Grover constructed Cross Hall and PSR was the contractor for the Geyer Hall renovation. Lawhon also constructed the Trenton Family Aquatic Center as well as the recently-completed elementary
school at Chillicothe. Dennis Gutshall, who is serving as the project manager, said contract work will take up the next two to three weeks, with R-9 finalizing its agreement with Lawhon. Lawhon will then need to enter into contracts with its sub-contractors, of which there are 15 to 20. One of the sub-contractors will be Roberts Roofing of Chillicothe (formerly Peyton Roofing), which has done roof work on other R-9 building projects in the past. Gutshall said he anticipates Lawhon to have equipment on site once the contracts are finalized, with initial dirt work taking place sometime in early October. He added that some site preparation will need to be done prior to that. Gutshall said he was pleased with the bids and credited the architects, Ellison-Auxier, for getting the district construction estimates in line with what the actual bids were. Gutshall said that the base bids actually came in 1.7 percent lower than what the project cost had been estimated, which he said “is a testament to the good

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Week One - 4Lathrop @ Trenton
NO EASING INTO IT Bulldogs To See Defending State Finalists In 2019 Debut Kevin Hixson has known for a while now the challenges that await his team in week one of the 2019 high school football season. When he steps on the sidelines for his first game as the Bulldog head coach, he will be looking across the field at a state finalist from last season. The Lathrop Mules visit C.F. Russell Stadium tonight (Friday) as the high school football season, the 118th for the Trenton Bulldogs, begins. “It’s really kind of a mental thing for our kids,� Hixson said. “(Lathrop) put a lot of points on us last year and we didn’t score very many. For us as a coaching staff the expectation is large, but the realization, you know, is go out and be competitive, play hard, eliminate mistakes and play for 48 minutes. That’s what I have been telling them from the beginning.� While the game looks like a pretty big mismatch on paper, Trenton is hoping to make it competitive. After all, Lathrop does lose Seth McKnight, Justin Wright and Hunter Sloan. Those three crippled Trenton with their speed and long runs in recent meetings. Justin Burns, who opened last year’s game against Trenton with an 87-yard kick return for a touchdown and was Lathrop’s leading receiver on the season, has also graduated.

Lineman Carson Burchett battles a Lathrop player during the 2018 season opener against the Mules, who would play for a state championship at the end of the year. Trenton and Lathrop will open the season against one another for the fourth-straight year.
Lathrop still enters the season ranked at number four in the media’s preseason Class 2 state poll, but that designation is based more on Lathrop reaching the state championship game rather than the Mules’ expectations for this year. Still, Trenton is no question
the underdog in this game. Chris Holt is entering his fifth year at Lathrop and he was at Maryville before that. He is no stranger to reloading after graduation losses. His pool to restore the varsity lineup is deep, too. Last year, Trenton’s junior varsity was handed a 70-0 loss in Lathrop.
The Bulldogs will be tasked with slowing down running back Tyler Paul, who will be the lead back as Lathrop tries to move on past the McKnight and Wright era. Quarterback Blake Gordon is also coming back for the Mules and his role looks to expand this year. The Mules are planning to give the

senior signal caller more responsibility in the read game as the quarterback’s role expands this year. “(Lathrop’s) overall team speed, even though the McKnight kid was pretty fast, is still probably faster than us, quicker than us,� Hixson said. “(Coach Holt) does a good job of coaching those kids fundamentally. Upfront offensively and defensively I think we match up with them size-wise pretty well, but I’m not sure overall on quickness. I think you definitely have to give the nod to them on team speed. They still have some talented kids coming back and I still think they are going to be a factor when it comes down to district play.� The Bulldogs have to believe they are a better team than they were a year ago when they finished just 3-7 for the season - a record that included a 55-7 loss to Lathrop in week one. Belief can only take a team so far, however, and Hixson knows being competitive on the field will come down to execution, physicality and taking care of the football.
14-1 (7-0 KCI) Class 2 Dist. 8 46.5 10.7 -
Trenton fumbled the ball eight times in last year’s loss to Lathrop and six of those resulted in turnovers. But this is Hixson’s team now. “We’ve emphasized ball security since day one,� Hixson said. “It wasn’t only a problem in the Lathrop game last year. There were a few other games down the road where they had more than two turnovers and in any football game if you turn the ball over two times you are kind of setting yourself up behind the eight ball. So, really, since I have been here, ball security has been big. Our biggest thing right now is just effort and having the drive and the will to want to compete.� Kickoff between the Bulldogs and Mules is scheduled for 7 o’clock at C.F. Russell Stadium. A pre-game tailgate, sponsored by Hy-Vee, will be held at Eastside Park with proceeds going to the Trenton Quarterback Club and Trenton Fellowship of Christian Athletes. It will be an eat-what-you-want, pay-what- you-want event.

Tigers’ Kelly Looks To Right The Past Get Your High School Football Fix At republican-times.com
Austin Kelly has not forgotten how last season began. After sitting behind a oncein-a-generation talent in Andrew Smith, Kelly got his first chance to start at quarterback for the Princeton Tigers. On just the third Princeton possession of that first night, his season appeared over. Kelly would play again late in the season, but the broken leg he sustained in that season-

opening contest cost him almost an entire season of his high school football career and any chance of quarterbacking the Tigers. Now, over a calendar year later, Kelly again enters the season as QB1 on the depth chart. He is intent on reversing his fortunes from a year ago as well as his team’s. “(Kelly) has been fantastic through the week,� new Princeton Head Coach Nathan Powell said. “He and our other three captains (Cam Hartley, Andrew Birge and Nick Grooms) have done a tremendous job keeping guys on track

and focused on both sides of the ball. It’s easy to lose focus leading up to that first game with school starting up and all the distractions that can bring, but our kids have been very coachable and prepared well.� The Tiger season opened with a thud last year as the Mid-Buchanan Dragons handed Princeton a 40-14 defeat - one that left the Tigers scrambling on their way to a 55 season. Mid-Buchanan is not an easy opponent to open the season with. After topping the Tigers in week one last year, the Dragons went on to enjoy a nine-win season - reaching the state semifinals before bowing out to state runner-up Lincoln. In addition to Lincoln, Mid-Buch’s other four losses came to Class 2 schools Lathrop and Lawson and traditional Class 1 powers East Buchanan and Hamilton. This year Mid-Buchanan is eyeing another strong season and the Dragons debuted at number five in the media’s Class 1 preseason poll. “Both their offensive and defensive schemes are very aggressive,� Powell said of the Dragons. “When they have the
ball they will try and spread us out and let their quarterback, Javon Noyes, make plays. He is a fantastic QB who can hurt you running or throwing the ball. Christian Skaggs is a tremendous wide receiver and they will look to get him involved in multiple ways. With their run-pass option scheme and their team speed, it will be a very challenging night for our defense. We will have to remain fundamentally sound in our reads and pursuit angles to have any chance at slowing them down.� Defensively, Princeton will see a bit of an odd look as Mid-Buch bases out of a rare 3-3 front. Three Dragons will look to bring pressure from all sorts of other places, though, to make up for only showing six in the box at times. “Defenses like that can be a headache to prepare for, but they can also open themselves up to some opportunities for us offensively,� Powell said. “We will just have to be patient enough to take advantage of those chances when they appear.� The Tigers and Dragons kick off in Faucett tonight at 7 o’clock.

Warrant Issued For Local Man A warrant has been issued for a Trenton man who is charged with felony child molestation and has apparently left the area. According to a complaint filed by Grundy County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Puckett, 70-year-old Scott D. Keith, whose last known address was 255 S. Main St., is being sought on a class B felony charge of third degree child molestation. Keith is accused of subjecting a child under the age of 14 to sexual contact by touching that child’s genitals.
The complaint goes on to indicate that he did so by the use of forcible compulsion and for the purpose of arousing or gratifying his sexual desires. The probable cause statement, which was dated July 21, indicates that the contact allegedly occurred on June 16 at Keith’s home. It also notes that Keith has not been located by law enforcement since the incident was reported. Grundy County Associate Judge Steven D. Hudson issued the warrant on Aug. 28, with no bond.

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor
THS Alumni Coming Home Welcome home Trenton High School alumni. This weekend marks the 55th annual celebration, where graduates of THS gather for special activities planned throughout the weekend. The 2019 event includes a home football game against Lathrop and an allclass mixer at Riverside Country Club on Friday, an open house on Saturday morning and a Sunday brunch in the THS commons and the traditional all-alumni dance at the Black Silo on Saturday night. Add to that the individual class reunions and it makes for Diane Lowrey a busy Labor Day weekend. A list of scheduled alumni activities appeared in Tuesday’s Republican-Times and is also listed on the newspaper website, www.republican-times.com (it can be viewed for free by anyone) as well as on the Republican-Times Facebook page. Alumni are reminded to bring their class news to the newspaper any time over the Labor Day weekend (you can leave it in the foyer through the front doors) or email it to us at rtimes@lyn.net. We will be publishing an overall alumni story, along with photos, in our Wednesday, Sept. 3 edition, with the class news being published beginning with our Friday, Sept. 6 edition. We ask that classes not wait for photos before submitting their information. Photos will be published on a space-available basis and no guarantee is made as to having class reunion information and photos published together. Questions? Give me a call at the newspaper, 3592212, during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.). •••••••••• Main Street Trenton and the Downtown Improvement Association are teaming up for an event on Saturday, Sept. 7 that will be held in conjunction with the Green Hills Women’s Shelter Mean Bean Bag Toss. “Beer, Bags and BBQ” takes place in the downtown area and includes not only the bean bag toss at Chumbley’s Hometown Billards, but a “Beer Run, Walk or Crawl” that begins at Five Points and continues to Chumbley’s, as well as a meal at The Space.

National Preparedness Month Of September Presents A Planning Opportunity By Tom Salisbury Region 7 Administrator, U.S. Small Business Administration There’s a day, a week or a month for everything these days. Some designations, of course, are more important than others. A designation I hope all of you will heed is this September’s National Preparedness Month. No one wants to believe something terrible will happen to them. But sometimes it does. I witnessed quite a bit of devastation this year as I traveled in the U.S. Small Business Administration Region VII states of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. Floods, tornados and high winds created the most pandemonium, destroying many homes and businesses and leaving many people feeling distraught and overwhelmed. If you own a business, just imagine stepping into or close to your store, restaurant, office or warehouse a day or two after a tornado has passed or after the floodwaters have receded. For thousands of business owners, this scenario was more than just imagined. It was a reality that left them to deal with the heartbreak of picking up the pieces in the aftermath of a disaster, and with a whole host of unanswered questions. That’s why you need to know about the SBA and the importance of disaster preparedness. In the wake of a declared disaster, the SBA assists in the rebuilding of communities by providing affordable, timely loans covering uninsured losses to businesses of all sizes, nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters. In the last year in Region VII, 1,423 people were offered these types of loans for a total of more than $85.6 million.
Following a disaster, individuals and businesses can register at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or visit www.SBA.gov/Disaster to see the types of federal assistance for which they are eligible. In large federally declared disasters, SBA Office of Disaster Assistance staff will open Disaster Recovery Centers and Business Recovery Centers to the public. Anyone can call the SBA at 1-800-659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for instructions after a disaster. Hopefully, you will never have to use the SBA’s postdisaster resources. Much can be done before a disaster strikes to increase the chances of safety for your family, employees and property. Being prepared for any kind of emergency means you’ll rebound sooner with less financial impact. Besides causing untold personal and home losses, major disasters are the cause of an estimated 25% of businesses never re-opening. I urge you to think ahead and put a disaster preparedness plan in place. The SBA’s website at www.sba.gov/disasterpreparedness offers excellent information on setting up emergency and disaster plans. The 30 days in September are an important time to create or update yours. Tom Salisbury is the regional administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration Region VII, which covers Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. He previously worked as the small-business liaison for U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt and in lending for UMB Bank. Salisbury can be reached at thomas.salisbury@sba.gov.

SEN. ROY BLUNT
Drag Queen Story Hour could be seen as the liberal equivalent of the open carry movement, with the protagonists in both cases making a blunt, sometimes uncomfortable statement about a certain point of view. You may not like it, they seem to be telling us, but that's just too bad.
Guest Editorials With Drag Queen Story Hour, it's a statement about tolerance and acceptance regarding gender identity and the LGBT community. That's a laudable goal, but what's pitched as an innocuous read-to-children movement has gotten caught up in the culture wars. St. Joseph is no different. In hindsight, it was probably only a matter of time before this trend came to our city. At the St. Joseph Public Library's Downtown branch next month, a drag queen who goes by the name of Vivian Versace will read two books to children, one called "Jack Not Jackie" and the other entitled "Not All Princesses Wear Pink." Both books focus on young girls who do not accept traditional gender roles. This is part of a St. Joseph Public Library series called "Celebrating All of Us" that seeks to build compassion and understanding of sometimes overlooked segments of society. Other programs focus on people with disabilities or physical impairments. Library officials vow to represent all members of the public, even it if
makes some people uncomfortable. There is an element of pushing the envelope here, which is why we drew the parallel with open carry, because that movement is equally divisive among some. Libraries, if they want to start a dialogue about gender and possibilities, could bring in a female boxer or a male ballet dancer. They chose a drag queen. Why? If it is truly to foster acceptance and understanding, then Drag Queen Story Hour is something this community should support. That said, library officials should take care to make sure this well-intentioned program doesn't devolve into shock value or the promotion a certain lifestyle. (Promoting is different from celebrating, or simply being comfortable in your own skin). The website dragqueenstoryhour.org strikes a different tone when it talks up "the imagination of play and the gender fluidity in childhood" and the need to give children "glamorous, positive and unabashedly queer role models." One of the best things about children is ... they're children. We'd encourage the organizers of Drag Queen Story Hour to keep the message broad, encourage children not to hate or ridicule and let them figure themselves out on another day, in their own way. For those who remain opposed to this program, they could consider staying away from the library on this particular day. There is nothing wrong with that. If they're really worried about bad influences, they should check their children's phone histories. — St. Joseph News-Press

COMMUNITY Groups Hears About Art’s Alive
Laredo Carol Wilford Bonna Dittberner flew to Tampa, FL on a vacation with her son, Brian and his family during the last week in July. They stayed at St. Petersburg Beach, saw the dolphins and enjoyed family time together. BriAnna Dittberner, a recent University of Kansas graduate who is currently attending Baker University School of Nursing in Topeka, KS, was presented with a nursing pin by her grandmother, Bonna Dittberner on Tuesday, Aug. 13. The ceremony, which is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated nurses into the nursing profession, took place at the Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. Naomi Campbell of Marshall came to spend Aug. 2123 at the home of her parents, Dan and Carol Wilford. On Wednesday, Aug. 22, she drove her mother to Trenton for cataract surgery on her other eye. The Laredo Lions Club met on Monday, Aug. 26 at the Laredo Community Center. After the pledge to the American flag, Dan Wilford prayed, followed by Carol Wilford leading the group in singing, “He’s Got the Whole World in
His Hands.� Those attending were Bonna Dittberner, Margaret Chapman, Lewis Griffin, Martha Owen, Billy Taul, Dan and Carol Wilford, Cassidy Russell, Barbara Russell, Jackie Owens and Dean Smalling. The guest speakers were David and Belinda Hogan of Trenton, whose talked about the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Ministry. This ministry is a part of Samaritan’s Purse, a non-denominational evangelical Christian humanitarian aid organization. The gift-filled shoeboxes are sent to children in third world countries as a tangible way to demonstrate Christian love to children in need around the world. The Hogans have been year-round volunteers for this ministry for 20 years. National Collection Week for the shoeboxes is Nov. 18-25 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton. Everyone is welcome to participate in this project. The Laredo Lions Club will hold its annual Ozark Supper Fundraiser will be on Saturday, Oct. 26.

Shelburne Cathy Rice Pastor Aaron Stark gave the sermon at the Shelburne Baptist Church on Sunday, Aug. 25, using scripture from Matthew 5:17-20. Norman and Chris Ropp recently took a 10-day trip, starting in Portland, OR and driving 1,850 miles down the west coast line before ending in San Jose, CA where they caught a flight back to Kansas City. They are grateful to be back home but they sure enjoyed the many sights. Karen Prewitt hosted a dinner on Tuesday with Orville and Mary Louise Melvin, Matt and Annette Tracy of Liberty, John and Margaret Rice and Evelyn Trickel as guests.
This is the time of year I should be driving sweaty children home at the end of the school day. I almost feel guilty to enjoy riding along with the windows down. Well, almost. Folks in the neighborhood have gotten home from their summer vacations and are catching up or at least trying to get ahead of the green lawns. I'm not sure I recall a greener August. Several rain showers with some wind have blown through this week and have taken out a weak fruit tree or two. The drought last summer has left its mark. I'm going to miss peaches from the peach tree. It is fall, so better get a replacement put in.
The Grundy County Genealogical Society met on Monday, Aug. 26 in the geneology room at the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library. There were seven members, two new members and two guests present. Shani and Katie Kinney presented the program on “Art’s Alive,� which is replacing the former “Friends of the Arts� organization from several years ago. The main goal of the new program is to bring the arts to Grundy County residents. The bylaws of the Friends of the Arts was used as a guide for the current group and the new bylaws and conflict of interest statement have
been formally adopted. The Board of Directors consists of 15 members, with the board to meet on Sept. 3 to choose officers. The year will run from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 with one program per quarter.

Extension To Hold Farm Lease Meetings Sept. 24 Several Locations Across Missouri
Submitted Photo
Michael and Tonya Otto and family of Newtown were among the families honored during the 61st annual Farm Family Day held on Aug. 12 at the Missouri State Fair. The Otto family was selected as the Sullivan County Farm Family by University of Missouri Extension in Sullivan County and the local Farm Bureau. The family includes daughter, Emily and son, Brett. The Ottos raise beef cattle on their 340-acre farm along with Mike’s parents, Art and Janice Otto, who also represented Sullivan County as Farm Family in 1982. The Ottos also manage a portion of their farm for wildlife, butterfly and pollinator habitats to help show respect for the land and the future.
FSA Expanding Payment Options To Accept Debit The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency is expanding its payment options to now accept debit cards and Automated Clearing House debit. These paperless payment options enable FSA customers to pay farm loan payments, measurement service fees, farm program debt repayments and administrative service fees, as well as to purchase aerial maps. “Our customers have spoken, and we’ve listened,� said Bill Northey, USDA’s Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation. “Finding ways to improve customer service and efficiency is important for our farmers, ranchers, producers, and forest landowners who work hard for our nation every day. Now, our customers can make electronic payments instantly by stopping in our offices or calling over the phone.� Previously, only cash, check, money orders and wires were accepted. By using debit cards and ACH debit, transactions are securely processed from the customer’s financial institution through Pay.gov, the U.S. Treasury’s online payment hub. While traditional collection methods like cash and paper checks will continue, offering the new alternatives will improve effectiveness and convenience to customers while being more cost effective. In 2017, the average cost to manually process checks, a process that included navigating multiple systems, cost USDA more than $4.6 million. The expanded payment options will cut the time employees take processing payments by 75 percent. “At USDA, we’re focused on modernization to improve customer service,� said Northey. “If half of our customers use these new payment options, we’ll see a $1 million savings in one year.

University of Missouri Extension offers meetings on farm leases on Sept. 24 at locations across the state. Topics include current cash rents and trends in Missouri, items to discuss and put in a lease, when and how to terminate a farm lease legally, recreational (hunting) leases, who is responsible for various costs, and livestock and crop share arrangements, says MU Extension agricultural business specialist Joe Koenen “Farm leases are a popular topic given common current cash rent levels and volatile crop prices,� Koenen says. “This program helps landlords and tenants understand the terms and expectations to develop a fair agreement for

FIRE AT KANSAS PACKING PLANT LOWERS PRICES ON FEEDER CALVES Cattle markets fascinate me. I don’t have a dime invested in cattle, with no calves on pasture nor going to packing plants. I look forward to a weekly market report from Irsik & Doll Feedlot, Garden City, KS. They report cattle trades from U.S. feed yards. I started reading this letter when steers from MU Thompson Farm were fed there. That’s how I learned the value of Prime-grade beef. Our calves going to the packing plant are sold on grid pricing. Those include grade premiums, not just market prices. Prime calves bring more money than Choice and Select. Too many Missouri calves sell for Select, a real loss. Farmers using Show-Me-Select protocols from Thompson Farm research get more dollars for calves. On Aug. 9, beef markets
went crazy when the Tyson packing plant at Holcombe, KS., burned. That got personal. On a bus, MU took Missouri farmers to the Garden City feedlot and we toured that Tyson plant. I was wowed. Years ago, Prof. Charlie Cramer, MU marketing professor, took a load of us students to St. Joe to tour long-gone packing plants. I was appalled. I came back sick when smelling meat cooking. I knew I’d never eat meat again. Then, packing plants were awful. In contrast, Tyson was tidy. No bad odors at all. Workers in clean white clothes and hairnets cut up beef carcasses at incredible speed. After the fire, I learned that plant killed 6,000 head a day. That ran 30,000 to 35,000 a week. That’s 6 percent of Kansas slaughter capacity. Other plants already ran at ca-
both.� MU Extension specialists who have worked with tenants and property owners teach the program using distance-learning technology so audiences can interact with instructors and other participants.

pacity, but they’re taking up slack. For years, I thought 600,000 head a week was big. Now they run more. Farmers raise more beef for export as they build trade with other countries. Those exports bring another $300 per head on all Missouri calves. There’s trouble lately as Trump messes with tariffs. He pulls out of deals without checking with farmers who developed free trade. Last Friday’s newsletter showed weekly U.S slaughter at 654,000 head. That’s up from “last week’s surprisingly large kill of 651,000 head.� Tyson’s closing brought fear of boxed-beef shortage. Boxed Choice shot up to $239 per Cwt. That’s $25 above year ago. Here’s where Missouri farmers need to rethink cow breeding. We’ve learned genomics allow producers to boost quality with artificial insemination. Now MU steers grade 98 percent Choice or better. This week Select boxed beef settled at $216 per Cwt. The Choice/Select spread hit $25. On a carcass that adds up. A year ago that spread was $12. There are more than USDA
Grade premiums. MU steers bring Certified Angus Beef premiums also. MU steers have run up to 60 percent Prime. Those premiums bring more than Choice. The newsletter doesn’t bother giving Prime figures, they're so rare. Prices grow as consumers pay more for premium quality beef. We can use more Prime beef and Missouri is primed for that. I just read a great story in Angus Beef Bulletin. MU Show-Me-Select producer Bill Masters, Cape Girardeau, told that his extra $500 per calf makes beef farming more profitable. He uses MU protocols. Now calf prices have fallen at sale barns as feeder buyers remain uncertain where they’ll get calves processed. Owners of the Tyson plant are rebuilding capacity. BEEF magazine reported cattle prices continue “to claw their way back from the stiff decline borne by the Aug. 9 fire.� Beef producers must be optimists and stay updated on MU protocols. There will be more news at the MU Thompson Farm Field Day at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 24. Send beef market ideas to duanedailey7@gmail.com

els or wind turbines (sometimes both). They typically have a rainwater collection area that they use for irrigation. Instead of using sunlight, they usually use grow lights to replicate it. Rather than soil they use what are called hydroponics, which are mineral solutions dissolved in water. There are some downsides to vertical farming. First of all, it is very expensive. The process of converting buildings or even building a skyscraper dedicated to vertical farming can cost well into the millions. It also relies a lot on electricity, so a power outage could be potentially devastating or a major setback. In conclusion, vertical farming is not the complete answer to producing enough crops to feed the world, but it is definitely a step in the right direction. The idea of vertical farming is relatively new, so new advancements can be made to better the usage of these farms. This, along with many other farming techniques could change the world for the better.

Adams, teacher aide at the Trenton Center; and Morgan Kornburst, teacher aide at the Brookfield “B� center. Dr. Klaver gave a report on fall enrollment, noting that it is down slightly over last fall, however final numbers are not yet available. First day enrollment was down about one-half percent in head count and .9 percent in credit hours. Dual credit numbers are not in yet and there will be students who will enroll in classes for the second eight-week session. Most community colleges in Missouri are experiencing enrollment declines in the 8 to 9 percent range and Dr. Klaver said that is following a national trend of smaller high school classes. Dr. Klaver explained that while the size of high school graduating classes is decreasing, the number of adults with some or no college credit is increasing and is a population that can be recruited by community colleges. Dr. Klaver also reported on the college’s strategic plan and updated the board on the Missouri Community College Association’s legislative agenda. Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre recognized several college employees who are being honored with the NISOD Excellence Awards. They include Cory Cooksey, computer science instructor, excellence in teaching; Kristi Cutsinger, program coordinator for health sciences, excellence in academic support; Kristie Cross, director of admissions, excellence in student affairs; Tami Campbell, senior database administrator, excellence in information technology; and Randy Young, facilities director, excellence in business and facilities. Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley introduced Kayley Griffin, a member of the college’s new dance team, Dance Wave. The group, which has 12 members, is coached by Melissa Spencer and will perform at home basketball games this year. Dr. Alley gave a report on activities related to the start of the school year and how her office is communicating those activities to students in the first four
weeks in an effort to engage them in the campus atmosphere. In other business, the board: • heard a report from Chief of Staff Kristi Harris, which focused on employee retention. It indicated that resignations have been cut in half from the 2015-2016 school year when there were 12 to the 2018-2019 school year when there were six. Those leaving indicated they had found other employment and most of them were female, classified staff members and had been at the college for three years or less. It was noted that efforts are under way to have online employment applications and orientation available. • held a public hearing to receive comment on the 2019 tax levy. The levy was then set at .3907 on the $100 assessed valuation. If 100 percent of the levy is collected it will generate $369,162.37 in local tax revenue. • approved the Green Hills Head Start Community Assessment, which has been updated to reflect the current data for the 2018-2019 school year. The board also heard a report on the program from directors Sue Ewigman and Janet Gott. The program, which is administered through the college, is funded for 227 spots, with 172 currently enrolled. The remainder are completing necessary items to be enrolled. • declared as surplus property 39 microtower computers, which will be disposed of or auctioned within board policy. • heard a report from Director of Development Alicia Endicott on alumni and NCMC activities and the progress of the Gifts in Action Campaign and Voyage Fund. The Gifts in Action Campaign is strictly for scholarships and now totals nearly $1.9 million, while the Voyage Fund encourages unrestricted giving to be used to help meet needs such as building repairs and program expansion. • held an executive session to discuss legal matters, personnel and real estate. Action was taken on the real estate matter and information will be released following the execution of the agreement. The next regular meeting of trustees is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

tion. New technologies, such as the power loom and steam engine, made it easier to mass-produce goods. It became easier to travel long distances, and what was once a largely agrarian society began to slowly shift toward an increasingly commercial marketplace. But, along with the good, came some of the bad. New machinery resulted in the creation of large factories full of people struggling under inhumane hours. For a while, child labor was widespread. People advocated for more pay and better conditions. After years of effort, they succeeded. The first recorded celebration of Labor Day was on Sept. 5,
1882 in New York City. Gradually, several other cities and states started to institute their own labor holidays. Soon, Congress started to take notice. In 1884, Congress passed a law declaring the first Monday in September of each year a nationally-recognized holiday - a tradition that remains to this day.

Dear Annie: I graduate from college in December (hopefully), and before then I have some important decisions to make about my future. I've been thinking about the outcomes for several months already, and the decision has not gotten any easier. I've been dating my boyfriend for well over a year now and we've talked about getting married in the future. We also plan on getting engaged in a couple months. While I have no doubt in my mind that's what I want, it's what comes after that I'm struggling with. My parents are very supportive and have paid for my college. In return, I am paying them back once I get a fulltime job after graduation. For custody reasons with his daughter, my boyfriend is planning on moving back to his hometown in January and very much wants me to join him (which is seven hours away). Not only do I want to be there with him, but also I know there are a lot more job opportunities there than where

I currently reside. While my parents are aware of his situation and support it fully, they aren't sure whether I should join him. My debt could be paid faster if I lived with my parents for a year before we get married. My boyfriend also assured me that even with him I wouldn't have to worry about bills until I paid off my debt, as he makes enough money to cover everything and then some. Even though my boyfriend supports whatever decision I end up making, I'm still torn on what I should do. I want to follow my heart, which is to follow him, but I also don't want to disappoint my parents by not following their advice. I've been very stressed out ever since these decisions came to light. I've even started losing sleep wondering where I'll end up and whether I'll be hurting people I love in the process. As you can see, I need a third party's view on the situation. Any advice is very appreciated. -- Tossing and Turning Dear Tossing and Turning:

Your heart is telling you to follow your boyfriend after graduation, but what is your gut telling you? I ask because I'm not convinced it's just your parents giving you pause. When it comes to making a life decision as major as this, you should be so self-assured in it that nothing can stop you. If I am correct that you, deep down, are not 100% sure you want to move in with him just yet, then wait. It's always better to err on the side of taking things too slowly than too quickly. He's not going anywhere. Ultimately, it's not about what I, your parents, or your boyfriend wants for you. It's about what you want for yourself. Because no matter what anyone else thinks is right for your life, you're the one who actually has to live it. Trust your gut above all else.

Hong Kong protests weigh on luxury retailers Intensifying political unrest in Hong Kong is delivering some pain to luxury companies already feeling pressure from the weakened Chinese currency and the escalating U.S.-China trade war. The challenges could worsen if the disruptions last long term, according to a recent report by Cowen and Co. Cowen estimates that earnings per share for the five global luxury companies it covers — Tiffany, LVMH, Cartier parent Richemont, Capri Holdings Ltd., which holds such brands as Michael Kors and Versace, and Coach parent Tapestry — will be down anywhere from 1% to 4%. That assumes a sales exposure to Hong Kong of 4% to 11% and
that the disruptions last until year-end. It says the most vulnerable is Richemont, as it has the largest sales exposure to Hong Kong among the luxury players Cowen covers. LVMH may suffer the least since its diversified portfolio of heritage brands and strong demand in mainland China could offset a slowdown in Hong Kong. “We believe companies with a robust presence in mainland China will feel the least impact from the Hong Kong sales decline,” wrote Oliver Chen, managing director at Cowen, in a report published last week. The last major prolonged protest in Hong Kong was in 2014 from October to December. During that time, Tiffany’s Asia-Pacific comparable sales fell 3%, Cowen says. Sales exposure in Asia (as a percentage of total sales)
Feeling the pressure Cowen estimates that earnings per share for the five global luxury companies it covers will be down anywhere from 1% to 4%.
