Mayor Joins Fight Against Childhood Hunger Trenton Mayor Jackie Soptic has joined more than 300 other mayors from all 50 states and the District of Columbia in a nonpartisan coalition called the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger, which taps the individual and collective leadership of mayors to take meaningful action to end childhood hunger in cities nationwide. There is no excuse for children to go hungry in this country, yet it happens every day, in every community. In the United States today, more than nine million children live in families considered food insecure. “I joined the Coalition to bring additional resources to Trenton to support Bright Futures, Food Pals and the Food
Pantry,” said Mayor Soptic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, state, local and national leaders took urgent action to fight childhood hunger – tactics that worked to stave off greater rates of food insecurity despite the severe economic hardships brought on by the pandemic. The Mayors Alliance harnesses the collective expertise of mayors from across the political spectrum to continue driving change at the state and national level. The Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger is a partner of the national nonprofit Share Our Strength and its No Kid Hungry campaign.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension WHY MUST YOU BE THAT WAY? by Jessica Trussell, MU Extension Field Specialist in Human Development and Family Science If you are a parent, work with children or even spend time with children on a regular basis you understand that not all children are the same. This includes their abilities, their choices, and their behaviors. As adults we can provide guidance to help children make changes. We can teach them rules and manners, we can help pick out clothing, and we can help them learn in school. What is very difficult to change, no matter how hard we try, is their basic temperament. Their temperament is how they react to people, places, and things. For example, active children usually become active adults and intense
people generally stay intense. So, what can adults and parents do to understand children and their temperaments? The first step is to be aware of the child’s temperament and respond accordingly. For example, if your child takes a while to warm up to individuals and new places and he/she is going to be attending a new daycare, it would be beneficial for you and your child to visit the daycare several times before he/she begins all day care. This allows the child to make a smooth adjustment. If your child has a very high activity level and you are going to be going on a long-distance trip in a vehicle, it would be beneficial to plan breaks where you are active such as playing tag, Frisbee, or playing on playground equip-
ment. By allowing the child time to be active, it will most likely make the trip more enjoyable for the whole family. By getting to know the child’s temperament, it will lead you to be a better caregiver. One problem that does arise is when adults and children, or parents and children, have different temperaments. Another way to say this is when temperaments do not match. If you are a very outgoing person and you frequently put your introverted child into situations where there are a lot of people, this can be very stressful and uncomfortable for your child. The most common mismatch occurs when there is a difference in activity level. When a highly active child is paired with low-activity level parents, this can result in problems. Adults in this type of mismatch frequently find themselves exhausted and frustrated by their high energy children. This can lead to what many people see as behavior problems when parents and adults expect a child to sit and do

quiet activities when the child has a high activity temperament. One way that adults and parents can work through differences in temperament is to make and active effort to be in tune with the child. Acknowledge differences and try to see the world from the child’s perspective. Ask yourself, what is it about what you are asking your child to do that is difficult for him/her? Here is an example. Sarah has difficultly with change. The hardest day for her was on Wednesday when she participated in a gifted program at another school. Every Wednesday morning she would get butterflies in her stomach before leaving the house. Rather than withdrawing her from the program, Sarah and her mother worked out an alternative plan. On Wednesday mornings Mom would pack Sarah a special breakfast to take on the bus to help reduce the butterflies and she was able to watch an episode of her favorite TV show before she left on the bus. This helped her relax and cope with the stress of the change in routine. Sometimes the answer to the question, “Why must you be that way?” is simply, “Just because.” Children are born with their very own temperament, and it will stay with them throughout their lifetime. When you are around a child whose temperament is different than yours, you need to consider how you need to adapt to help that child. You cannot change them with talking, discipline, or punishment. This is what makes each child unique and special. When you take the time to understand the differences and consider how to adjust, the rewards are abundant.
Livestock Symposium Beef Program Focuses on Investing for the Future. Beef producers will learn what opportunities and challenges are ahead at the 24th annual Missouri Livestock Symposium, says Garry L. Mathes, chairman. Farmers and ranchers will learn the value of management and marketing at the Symposium, on December 1 and 2. Zac Erwin, MU Extension Livestock Specialist and Symposium vice-chair, says “Industry dynamics are in a period of rapid change and producers need to make decisions now that will have long-lasting impacts. Our beef speaker lineup will address many of the issues important to beef producers.” Dr. Joe Horner, University of Missouri Extension State Ag Economics Specialist, will talk about “Bullet Proofing Your Beef Operation.” Dr. Eric Bailey, University of Missouri Extension State Beef Specialist, will speak on “How to Feed Cows with No Feed.” Wesley Tucker, MU Extension Agribusiness Specialist, will discuss “Which Has Risen Faster—Cattle Prices or Cost of Production?” Chris Perry, DVM from Bethel, Missouri will talk about “Deworming Strategies and Liver Fluke Control.” Erwin adds, “There are other notable beef topics in other sections of our lineup
as well, discussing topics on beef cow leasing and pasture purchase prices.” Erwin continues, “The economic environment we are currently in as an industry has producers making decisions that have historically high nominal dollar amounts attached to them, and making informed decisions will have significant impacts moving forward.” The Missouri Livestock Symposium has an agricultural trade show open during the two days. The Missouri Livestock Symposium meets at Matthew Middle School, 1515 Cottage Grove. The hours are 4 to 10 pm. Friday, December 1, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 2. In addition to sessions on beef, others are on horses, sheep and market goats, forages, stock dogs, and farm succession planning. Multiple tracks go at the same time. Keynote speaker Corbitt Wall, Livestock Market Analyst for DV Auction will speak on Friday night. The program is free, with no advance registration. The Symposium offers a complimentary beef dinner, at 6 p.m. Friday and a complimentary lunch on Saturday. Meals are sponsored by Missouri commodity groups. A volunteer symposium committee organizes the event. The Symposium is free thanks to many sponsors, including Platinum level sponsors University of Missouri Extension, Sullivan Auctioneers, LLC, Missouri Department of Agriculture, Missouri Sheep Merchandising Council, FCS Financial, KTVO Studios, MFA Oil, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Missouri Beef Industry Council.

COMMUNITY Robin Meservey Hosts Southside Farm Club Meeting The November 15 meeting of the Southside Farm Club was held at Washington Street Restaurant with nine members in attendance. Robin Meservey was hostess and had decorated the table with candlelight, a large glass pumpkin and glass turkey plus a pair of wooden pilgrims. The hostess gift of a can of pumpkin was won by Janice Belvel after members checked their piece of holiday candy, which was a Russell Stover’s Chocolate with a Pumpkin Caramel Apple filling. The mystery gift of a large decorated box with a few sweet potatoes and miniature marshmallows was guessed by Jacky Altenderfer. The minutes of the last
meeting and the treasurer’s report were given by Jeanie Gibson, which were approved. The roll call was answered with “What are you doing for Thanksgiving” with most members having some kind of Thanksgiving meal with family and friends. Jacky Mack read I Chronicles 16 verses 8-12, which was a reading of thanks. The members took up contributions for the local food pantry and it was decided to contribute to Food Pals through Bright Futures Trenton for the December meeting. The December 13 meeting will be held at Marie Dolan’s for a Christmas luncheon. The meeting was adjourned.

Giant cane is Missouri’s native species of bamboo, members of the Grand River Garden Club were told Monday, Nov. 20 when they met at El Toro Restaurant. Linda Carman said the woody bamboolike canes can grow as tall as 16 feet and the hollow segments are separated by solid joints. It grows in dense colonies, mostly in southern Missouri, although some patches can be found in northern Missouri. The grass like leaves alternate, have small, sharp teeth, and a pointed tip. Purplish flowers occur rarely and sporadically in Missouri with 5-15 flowers clustered on flattened stalks. The bamboo is used for baskets, fishing poles, crafts, instrumental reeds and was used by native Americans for medicinal purposes. President Ginny Johns called the meeting to order. Minutes were read by Karalyn Thompson. Ms. Carman made a motion to accept, which was seconded by Doris Provorse. Laura Ewing texted the club’s bank balance.

Dampier Evans of St. Louis has been selected as North Central Missouri College's Outstanding Student for November. Dampier is a second-year student and plans to graduate with his associate in arts degree in May. After graduating from NCMC, he intends to transfer to a four-year institution in Louisiana and keep playing collegiate basketball. Dampier plays basketball for the NCMC men’s basketball team and lives on campus. His favorite class is English II with Instructor Stephen Williamson. Dampier said, “Mr. Williamson is a really good teacher, always willing to help me when I need it. He understands being a college athlete and student can be stressful sometimes and helps me balance it.” Dampier went on to say, “Everyone at NCMC is very nice. If you see someone, they have a smile on their face and are always helpful and friendly.” When asked why he chose NCMC, Dampier said, “I like the small town feel of NCMC, I feel like I’m at home. I went to a small high school and didn’t want to go somewhere too big to do college life. I also get to play basketball.” He went on to say, “NCMC has helped me grow as a person, my social skills and branching out more, and I’ve made a lot of friends here.”

Banks reluctant to lend
Despite the strong economy and job market, banks remain historically reluctant to lend to consumers, according to the most recent Federal Reserve data. A survey of senior loan officers at major banks shows that financial institutions continue to have stricter standards on whether they will approve credit card, auto loans and other loans to Americans. With the exception of the economic fluctuations that came during and after the pandemic, banks haven’t been this cautious in more than a decade. Banks not only have put stricter standards on making loans, they also have been less willing overall to make
the loans. That means consumers will continue to need higher credit scores, make larger down payments or accept higher interest rates on any loans they may take out in the near future. Consumer borrowing and spending is the backbone of the U.S. economy. The less access consumers have to capital, the less they will spend, particularly during crucial times of the year like the upcoming holiday season. Part of the reason why banks have been less enthusiastic to lend is the Fed’s higher interest rate policies, which make borrowing overall more expensive for the entire financial system.

helps people achieve financial stability and get 1.9 million working families – half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable – on the road to economic independence. • Access to Health promotes healthy lives, and increase by one-third the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behaviors. While the United Way goals may be ambitious, with your help and the utilization of their core strengths – a national network, committed partners and public engagement capacity – they can achieve them.
************************* Grundy County United Way brings people together where everyone can get a quality education, good job and live a healthy life. Locally, there are nine organizations that participate in building stronger communities, including Green Hills Volunteers (formerly RSVP), Grundy County 4-H Council, Trenton R-9 Parents as Teachers, Grundy County Juvenile Office, Juvenile Court Diversion Program, Community Food pantry, Girl Scouts of NE Kansas and NW Missouri, University of Missouri Extension and Grundy County Council on Aging, Inc (North 65 Center). ALL donations collected by Grundy County United Way stay in the local area to support these organizations. Grundy County United Way is beginning its 20232024 residential campaign. If you would like to donate,
please mail your donation to: Grundy County United Way, PO Box 146, Trenton, MO 64683. ************************* Grundy County Council on Aging Grundy County Council on Aging, known to most as the North 65 Center, is a member of the Grundy County United Way. They are also ‘known’ by their ‘Meals on Wheels’ program, a national organization of which they are a member. Through this program, hot meals are delivered Monday thru Friday inside the city limits of Trenton. This is possible with volumteer drivers giving of their time, along with use of their own vehicle and fuel. The Center also serves in-house, or ‘congregate’ meals on the same days. Many participate in activities including linedancing, token bingo, fun night, playing cards, a puzzle table and visiting with old
friends and making new ones. The mission of the Grundy County Council on Aging is to provide the members with the opportunity to participate creatively in the present and plan with interest for the future. They help with providing opportunities for members to meet and enjoy each other’s leisurely company. Through participation in such an organization, the members can be assisted to remain in their homes longer, or to become integrated with the rest of the community. Funding for the North 65 Center to provide these services and activities comes from the Older American’s Act, grants, memorials, donations and fundraisers and Grundy County United Way. ************************* Change starts with YOU!

During the first quarter Madi Moore would have four points on the board for the Bulldogs to East Buchanan’s eight. The second quarter shots from Kaylor Hodge, King, and Croy would score the Bulldogs another six, outscoring the Bulldogs in Blue who had four. Half-time score stood at 10-12 East Buchanan. East Buchanan dropped ten points in the third after Moore had to sit out due to foul trouble. Croy and Kenzie Lynch would lead the quarter with two each for
and a total of five points in the third quarter. With a few players in foul trouble, Coach Steve Richman rotated Jenna Harris and Hodge to have edge on both defense and offense. The Bulldogs in Blue scored 14 points in the quarter to the Trenton Bulldogs 13. The final score that night was 28-36 East Buchanan. Following the girl’s game the Trenton Bulldog boys had a long battle in front of them. The first quarter began with East Buchanan dropping the first points of the game.
