Council to Rebid Concrete Contracts

Trenton City Council met at City Hall on Monday, July 10 at 7 p.m. to discuss reports, Main Street public comments, bids, and new business.

Reports were given by Councilmember Briggs concerning the city website.

Councilmember Mlika requested the day and times for the shooting of fireworks be looked at by the administrative committee.

Updates were given concerning the progress on the new airport and reported to be 50 percent completed. There was discussion of changing the time of the council meetings to 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. so that people could go home early. The main concern was that the meeting time at 6 p.m. conflicts with the Trenton facilities meeting.

Public comments were then given by Lauren Dannar on Main Street Trenton activities. It was reported that Brew Fest will be on October 28 and there will be a Turkey Trot marathon on the morning of Thanksgiving.

Main Street has been reaching out to the committee to help educate and organize the farmers market including food truck vendors. It was reported that food truck vendors at Trenton’s farmers market do have a license with the city of Trenton.

The council then moved

I am very excited and grateful for the opportunity to work with Trenton Republican-Times as an intern this summer. My name is Amanda Parrack and I am currently attending Missouri State University in Springfield as a creative writing major with a minor in Spanish.

I love learning languages and other cultures but my true passion in writing is poetry. Some of my favorite authors are Toni Morrison, Walt Whitman, and John Green. I am really passionate about the English language, and the ways we can reach other people with our words becoming our greatest weapon.

At Missouri State, I am very involved in the resident life community and writing organizations such as Sigma Tau Delta, national honor society for writers. This fall, I will be

to old business with discussion on concrete bids. There were concerns brought up with the way the bid was presented with an offer brought up to make the spread sheet more presentable so there would be no confusion for contractors. On the spread sheet for Shuler Concrete, the break down page was written in by hand rather than typed. Specifically, numbers concerning the airport were brought up with the number being hard to tell if it was 260 or 280. There was a motion to rebid for concrete, which passed with two nays and 6 ayes.

There were concerns with questions if the City Council was violating any

laws by the way they voted last meeting; 5 to 2 for Grand River concrete.

There was a conclusion that Grand River was an out of town bidder. Most council members are aware of the procedure and the City Council concluded there was nothing wrong with the previous vote. The city of Trenton reserves the right to reject any or all bids or waive any irregularities that are in the best interest of the city. The council then discussed ways to correct the bid such as having the concrete bid dated and stamped with clear spreadsheets. It was made very clear that there was nothing wrong done but rather they should do better. The spreadsheet is to be made nice and neat with no errors including “no chicken scratches” on the break-

down page. There were major concerns with if spreadsheets are not presented neatly from a business to look good, why should the council vote for said spread sheet? It was decided to see as much information as possible for both parties in order to make a proper vote.

In new business, Mayor Jackie Soptic recommended the apppointments of Sarah Maloney to the Building and Nuisance board, Bruce Constant to Planning and Zoning and Board of Adjustments and Gary Hooyman to the Airport Advisory board. All recommendations were approved.

There was a lien reduction application sent by Christopher Jones on the property at 1415 Lulu to pay a price offer to the city

of five hundred dollars when purchasing the property. A motion was carried and approved by Jones for the application to the city.

Councilmember Humphreys motioned to keep the brush dock open on Saturdays so people who work past open hours for the dock can dump off their brush. A motion was carried and approved for the fire department to keep the gates open during regular hours on Saturdays. There were concerns that if the brush dock was to become abused that the city holds a right to repeal an ordinance.

Councilmember Briggs motioned to send the ordinance for not allowing selling of dogs on the streets to the administrative committee. Councilmember Urich seconded the motion and it carried.

The meeting adjourned at 7:56 p.m.

“We are really looking forward to this event,” said NM-REEC Director Jeff Case. “It’s such a great opportunity to share our research with farmers across northern Missouri, and, because all of our research is focused on the needs of the local community, we hope they use what they learn to improve their own farming practices.”

This year’s program consists of three field tours beginning at 8 a.m., complimentary breakfast served at 7 a.m. and lunch starting at noon.

strate a large spray drone with spray data, updated information on the weed electrocution and seed crusher technologies, crop diseases and drought, and the latest data on hemp varieties and disease management.

Steve Schieber Has Program at Rotary Meeting

Saint Luke’s Health System Critical Access Region CEO Steve Schieber presented the program at the Thursday, July 13 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Jackie Soptic presided at the meeting, Brian Upton gave the prayer and Steve Taylor was the sergeant at arms. Schieber, whose posi-

tion also includes CEO duties at Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton and Hedrick Medical Center in Chillicothe, discussed the state of rural health care in the U.S. and provided an update on WMH. He said that the U.S. has one of the lowest age expectancy rates in the world but has the highest health care costs, noting that more than onehalf of rural hospitals in the U.S. lost money in 2022 due to little or no payment from private insurance companies. As a result, many smaller hospitals have closed. He noted that WMH is in a good financial position and expects the hospital to provide health care services in the area for many years to come. He

talked about the recent letter of intent signed by Saint Luke’s and BJC Health Care, allowing the two health care providers to merge by the end of the year. Schieber said that the merger will provide additional services now offered by the BJC system to patients being served by Saint Luke’s and vice versa. Both entities will retain their separate identities, with Saint Luke’s being designated as the west region facility while BJC would be designated as the east region facility. The current CEO of BJC would become the CEO over both facilities as the current Saint Luke’s CEO is planning to retire at the end of the year. He said pa-

tients using WMH services will see little change, but will have BJC services available to them in addition to the continued services already provided by Saint Luke’s.

Schieber also talked about the changes in OBGYN services, which included baby delivery at Hedrick Medical Center. Because the doctor being shared by HMC and WMH is no longer at the hospital, babies are now being delivered at Saint Luke’s North. Pre-natal and post-natal care, however, continue to be available at HMC. Schieber said efforts have been unsuccessful to attract an OB-GYN that is C-section certified to work at HMC, thus resulting in the

change. He said recruitment efforts for doctors “is in good shape,” noting an announcement soon on a new doctor joining the local staff. He also credited NCMC’s nursing program for helping to continue to provide highly-trained nurses for both hospitals.

During the business meeting, it was announced that the annual club community fish fry will be held on Sept. 16, which will also fall during the week of the Rotary public service partnership challenge.

The program for the July 20 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club will be presented by Lauren Danner, the new executive director of the Main Street Trenton program.

40 and explained the services FFDD provides.

High home prices

A stubbornly low inventory of homes for sale nationally is helping prop up home prices, despite rising mortgage rates The U.S. median home price jumped 2 6% in May month-to-month the fourth such rise in a row according to the National Association of Realtors While still down 3.1% from May 2022, the recent monthly winning streak shows home prices are holding up better than many economists expected. The dearth of properties for sale, a big reason home sales have been slow this year is keeping the market competitive, driving bidding wars in many places. Meanwhile, the average rate on a 30-year

mortgage is hovering near 7% limiting homebuyers’ purchasing power. While bad news for homebuyers, rising prices and a low inventory of resale homes are favorable trends for homebuilders and should be a tailwind for the sector analysts at Wedbush said in a research note this week. “We believe these metrics should support higher existing and new home prices, assuming demand trends do not waver into the fall,” the analysts wrote Wedbush has ‘Outperform’ ratings on KB Home, Beazer Homes USA, M/I Homes, Century Communities and Taylor Morrison

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension

TOP FIVE LIVESTOCK FORAGE ACTIONS TO TAKE NOW

Northwest Missouri beef producers are facing forage shortages due to dry weather, lower than normal hay yields or in some cases both. The following are suggestions related to forages and cattle for producers to consider.

1. Aggressive Culling

• Cows with bad dispositions

• Cows that have historically been poor producers

• Cows with bad udders, feet, etc.

• Consider pregnancy checking earlier than normal to allow for selling open cows sooner and go ahead and sell late bred cows that don’t fit into your calving window

• The cull cow market is strong and price received will be good

2. Find Alternative Feeds

• Monitor costs of byproduct feeds (soyhull pellets, distillers grain, corn gluten feed)

• Compare costs of byproduct feeds to purchased hay

and other supplements

• Energy is typically more limiting than protein

• Corn will typically be the cheapest energy source

• Consider corn silage

3. Check Toxicity of Alternative Feedstuffs

• This is extremely important when using droughtstressed or stunted crops and also with summer annual forages

• Can also be an issue with purchased forages of marginal quality

• Know the risks these forages can pose and consult with your veterinarian

4. Prepare for the Fall

• Inventory pastures and consider options for the fall based on their condition

G Consider seeding or overseeding winter annuals

G Applying nitrogen fertilizer to cool season grasses in early August can help increase fall growth and help establish stockpiled forage

F Fescue works the best for stockpiling

G If pasture condition is bad enough, now might be the time to consider renovation

5. Stretch Current Feed Supplies

• Improve grazing management by utilizing rotational grazing

• Sort cattle into age and production groups (lactating vs. non-lactating) and then feed to their requirements

• Consider early weaning calves

G Can reduce the nutrient requirements of the cow by as much as 30% depending on production stage

G Calves can be weaned and fed if feed resources allow

G The calf market is strong and price received should be good if they need to be sold right off the cow

• Reduce hay waste

G Consider limiting cow’s access to hay to 8-12 hours per day

G Some hay feeder designs have been shown to reduce waste

G Only allocate enough hay for one day of feeding For more information or assistance, contact your local University of Missouri Extension Office or Shawn Deering, MU Extension Field Specialist in Livestock deerings@missouri.edu or (660)726-5610
