Life Options opened its doors on July 6, 2020, and is a 501(c)(3) faith-based non-profit operating solely off donations and select community grants. “Life Options impacts the community by bringing hope and support to strengthen families,” said Rachael Brother, Executive Director of Life Options Green Hills. “Whether a planned or unplanned pregnancy, we walk alongside women and men in their journey; strong families make strong communities.” Since opening in July 2020, Life Options has had over 2000 visits to the center. Rachael said, “As we see the community’s unmet needs, we work to find ways to meet those needs by creating pro-

grams that support our vision to be the first choice for information regarding pregnancy decisions, sexual health, and family enrichment in our service areas.” Rachael went on to say, “Life Options offers real, life-changing support. I can think of nothing more rewarding than seeing stress and anxiety leave our client’s faces when they realize they are not alone. They know we genuinely care about them and their situation. We also offer the greatest hope, which is the hope of Jesus Christ.” Recently, Life Options has united many churches and individuals with one vision: to serve our neighbor with the love of Christ. Life Options has been networking with area businesses and churches to collaborate, promote life, and build strong families. Rachael said, “The sky is the limit if we will work together as a team.” After Abortion Care is a brand-new service Life Options offers to women and men struggling with a past abortion. Rachael went on to say, “As the community becomes more aware of this service, I am confident it will

provide much-needed healing to those who have suffered silently for far too long.” Currently, Life Options partners with another organization for part of these services but hopes to offer a complete program in-house. Life Options will launch two additional services in 2022, including a Fatherhood program and a comprehensive STI testing and treatment program. Life Options recently hired Bill Moore to take the lead as the Fatherhood Program Manager. His role will be to develop a permanent Fatherhood Program, train male volunteers, and oversee services reaching the men they serve. The Fatherhood program will begin in September of 2022. RN Nurse Manager, Linda Marshall leads the STI testing and treatment program. Linda also oversees medical services, including pregnancy testing and ultrasounds. Working closely with Life Options Medical Director, Dr. Jennifer Bowe, Life Options is eager to launch the new medical services in October 2022. In the future, Life Op-

Life Options Green Hills tions hopes to open satellite locations around the region to reach those who may not be able to come to Trenton. The first targeted location is Bethany, MO. Rachael said, “We dream of education centers, maternity homes, and having a platform to speak about sexual integrity with students in local schools and colleges.” For more information about Life Options Green Hills, individuals can visit lifeoptionsgreenhills.com, follow Life Options Green Hills on Facebook and Instagram, or contact them directly at (660) 3581378.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I don't really keep track of our spending, but we try to make it pretty even by trading off who pays for different expenses -- groceries, date nights, travel costs, etc. We both have good jobs, and we make about the same amount of money. Recently, however, we sat down to look at our finances and our monthly budgets. When I did the math, I discovered that I've been paying for way more than he has. When I told him this, he just kind of shrugged. I asked him, "What should we do about this?" and he just responded, "I don't know, what do you want to do?" I don't want him to feel obligated to pay for everything, and I don't want to have to split every tiny expense in half, but this is more uneven than I'm comfortable with. What can I do? -- Super Spender

Garfield

by Jim Davis

Dear Super Spender: It's easy for your finances to get away from you when you don't keep track of them. Good on you for taking control of your spending -better late than never! Now it's time to take this one step further: creating a budget and sticking to it. Since you and your boyfriend have separate bank accounts, it makes sense to have two separate budgets. Make sure you're both comfortable with the budgets you create. There are some helpful and easy-to-use apps out there, like Mint and Copilot, that allow you to check up on your budget throughout the month to make sure you're staying on track. Good luck! Dear Annie: I just moved to a new city where I don't know anybody. I'm trying to make friends, but it's hard as an adult. I joined an adult soccer team, and I started volunteering. I just don't seem to be clicking with

anybody. There is one person I already know who lives in this city -- a guy named "Mike." The only problem is, Mike is the ex-boyfriend of my very best friend "Emma." They had a messy breakup and no longer talk to each other. Every time he's brought up, Emma changes the subject. Honestly, though, I always got along with Mike, and I always (secretly) thought their reason for breaking up was sort of silly. I want to reach out to him, but I don't think I could tell Emma if I did, which would make me feel guilty. What do I do?! -- Lost and Lonely Dear Lost and Lonely: Lying to your loved ones and enduring feelings of guilt are two telltale signs that you're probably making the wrong decision. Emma is clearly triggered by the breakup. It sounds like your bond with her is more powerful than your draw toward him -- and why jeopardize a best friendship over someone you merely "got along" with in the past? There are plenty of fish in the sea; keep trying.

The pandemic trend of consumers spending more money on their credit and debit cards shows no signs of stopping, if Visa and Mastercard’s quarterly results are to be believed. Both major payment networks saw growth in the second quarter. Visa users charged $2.939 trillion on their credit and debit cards last quarter, while Mastercard had $2.054 trillion in activity. That’s compared to $2.23 trillion on Visa’s network in 2019 and $1.6 trillion on Mastercard that same year. Visa and Mastercard effectively have a duopoly on payment processing networks.

Investors have been more positive on Visa and Mastercard as companies than the broader market due to these trends. Both stocks are down only 2% this year compared to the 13% decline of the S&P 500. Payment networks take a small fee for each transaction run on their network, and as more consumers opt for contactless or digital payments, that goes straight to their bottom line. Visa and Mastercard’s business model tends to be more resilient to inflation as well, since the two companies don’t particularly care what people are buying on their networks, just that they’re spending.

Children from families whose current income is at or below those shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Applications are available at the school office in each school. To apply, fill out a Free and Reduced Price School Meals Family Application and return it to the school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. A complete application is required as a condition of eligibility. A complete application includes: (1) household income from all sources or Food Stamp/TANF case number, (2) names of all household members, and (3) the signature and last four digits of social security number or indication of no social security number of adult household member signing the application. School officials may verify current income at any time during the school year. Foster children may be eligible regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Households with children who are eligible under the foster, Head Start, homeless, migrant, or runaway programs should contact the school for assistance in receiving meal benefits. Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participants may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Children who are members of households currently certified as receiveing Food Stamps, TANF or FDPIR are eligible for free meals. To complete an application, the household must provide the names of the children, a statement that the household receives the qualifying benefits, the Food Stamps/TANF/FDPIR case number, and the signature of the adult household member making application. When known by the school that members of a household are receiving assistance from Food Stamps, TANF or FDPIR, households will be notified of their children's eligibility for free school meals. If any children in the household were not listed on the eligibility notice or not listed on the application, the household should contact the school to have benefits extended to all children in the household. If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size changes, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for these benefits. Under the provisions of the policy, the Superintendent will review the applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, they may wish to discuss the decision with the hearing official on an informal basis or he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to the Superintendent. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the central office where any interested party may review it.

than pure tall fescue pastures. Graze these pastures first, leaving the pure, weed free fescue stands for later in the winter. Prepare pastures by grazing or mowing to a four-inch stubble height. Apply nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 50-80 pounds per acre by mid-August. On average, tall fescue will produce 20 pounds of dry matter for every pound of nitrogen applied in August. Yield can be much higher when moisture is not limiting. Ammonium nitrate or polymer coated urea are the best sources of nitrogen fertilizer to apply in August to reduce nitrogen losses due to volatilization. Ammonium sulfate can also be applied. Fall applications of nitrogen fertilizer are not as detrimental to

the survival of legumes in the stand as spring nitrogen applications. The quantity and quality of the forage available will decline as the winter progresses. Graze stockpiled pastures which have been heavily fertilized early in the season in order to get the greatest return on your fertilizer dollar investment. Utilization of the forage can be increased by strip grazing. Start grazing the pasture close to the water source and incrementally provide more pasture to the animals every three to seven days. For more information contact Valerie Tate, field specialist in agronomy for University of Missouri Extension, at tatev@missouri.edu. University of Missouri Extension programs are open to all.

Hello 7th District; Here are some updates within our state and upcoming events. Also, be on the lookout for my after session report that should be mailed in August. As always, thank you for your support and please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Legislature Prepares for Special Session The Missouri House and Senate are set to return in September for the annual Veto Session, but the two legislative bodies are also likely to return for a special session to provide tax relief for Missourians. Gov. Mike Parson has announced he plans to call for a special session to implement a tax cut and a restructuring of the state’s income tax brackets. Parson previously vetoed a $500 million one-time economic recovery tax credit that was approved by the General Assembly during the 2022 legislative session. In vetoing the bill, the governor said he prefers a permanent tax cut and that he will call a special session so the legislature can approve one. The chairman of the House Budget Committee, who sponsored the onetime tax credit, said he also prefers a permanent cut to help Missourians facing higher prices and inflation. He said he recently met with Gov. Parson to discuss the details of the governor’s proposed tax cut. “We are busy now collaborating with the senate and the governor himself to try to find a starting point and then from that point the legislature will take over and will hopefully put forth a good product, at the end of the day, for the governor to sign,” said the chairman. “It’s important that we try to keep this simple and try to make it as impactful to as many Missourians as possible. I think the income tax is the best way to do that, and trying to simplify the tax code in the process I think is also a worthy goal.” The chairman of the House Budget Committee noted that the state’s brackets are outdated and should be revised, if not eliminated, and doing so

would help all income earners. He said, “Our highest tax bracket in Missouri is for anyone that makes over $9,000 annually. At one time that was a considerable amount of money, but now most folks who work at all generally make more than $9,000 per year.” He said they would be helping “lower income folks by addressing that top line number” and added, “I think we can take a look at some of the tax brackets on the lower end and see if we can reconfigure those or eliminate those entirely so that folks on the lower end of the income spectrum won’t pay taxes up to a certain amount. That would provide relief for those lower income folks.” Both the chairman of the House Budget Committee and the governor agree that Missouri’s healthy economy and revenue growth will allow the state to afford a tax cut. The chairman said, “I would guess that we may have a general revenue surplus in excess of $2 billion by the time we come back to the next legislative session and that is just unprecedented.” He added, “We’ve got federal money set aside for Medicaid, we’ve got general revenue dollars sitting in the state’s treasury for all purposes, and I think there’s never been a better time to cut taxes and still be able to protect the priorities that we have in the budget.” The chairman said while the state is enjoying increased revenues and never-before-seen surpluses, Missourians are dealing with high inflation, high gas prices, and other factors that are causing many to struggle. He said this is the right time for the legislature to do something to help. He said, “Rather than issue stimulus checks, which is talked about in Washington from time to time, certainly we’ve seen that, I believe the best way to combat things like inflation is let Missourians keep more of their own money.” The governor has said he is also planning to have

Department of Revenue to Automatically Renew Permanent Disabled Placards for Eligible Individuals The Missouri Department of Revenue recently announced it will automatically renew and mail Permanent Disabled Placards for eligible individuals. To be eligible, a person must already have a Permanent Disabled Placard on file with the Department and their placard must be up for renewal in 2022. All first-time recipients of a placard must still apply in-person at a Missouri license office. On July 22 the department began mailing the 2026 Disabled Person Placards to approximately 96,000 individuals with a 2022 Disabled Person Placard on file with the Department. The 2026 placard replaces the 2022 placard and can be used immediately. The Department stresses, however, that the current 2022 placard is still valid through Sept. 30, 2022. A Permanent Disabled Placard is a removable windshield placard that is to be hung from the rearview mirror of a parked vehicle in order to park in disabled parking spaces. Any physically disabled person, parent or guardian of a physically disabled person, or a not-for-profit group or organization that transports more than one physically disabled person qualifies for a Permanent Disabled Placard. A licensed physician, chiropractor, podiatrist, physician’s assistant, advanced practice registered nurse, physical therapist or optometrist must certify a person is permanently “physically” disabled as defined by Missouri law. For more information about Disabled Placards, visit the Department’s website at dor.mo.gov/motorvehicle/disabled-plates-plac ards/. Highway Safety Hero Nominations Sought The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety is accepting nominations for individuals, organizations and events to be recognized for their efforts in making Missouri’s roadways safer. Winners will be recognized at the 2022 Missouri Highway Safety and Traffic Conference in Columbia at the end of September.

The Show Me Zero Regional Award recognizes an individual or group from each coalition region who has shown exemplary leadership in endeavors that significantly improve highway safety. “We applaud the efforts of those who work so hard to achieve the Coalition’s ultimate goal of zero roadway deaths in Missouri,” said the Missouri Department of Transportation State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer. “This is an opportunity to recognize those who are helping to save lives.” Nominations are due by August 10, 2022. Five individuals with an interest in transportation safety have been selected throughout Missouri to judge the statewide awards. Regional awards will be judged by the regional coalitions or independent judges they choose. Award winners and those who nominate them will be notified in August.

A Word From... by the Trenton Ministerial Alliance

“Saint James the Greater”

By Terry Cobb St. Philip’s Episcopal Church on behalf of the Trenton Ministerial Alliance The life and ministry of Saint James is commemorated by the Episcopal Church each year on July 25th . But which James? There are three James worthy of being celebrated. The July 25th commemoration is for the Apostle James, son of Zebedee and the brother of John, also one of Christ’s twelve disciples. He is often referred to as “James the Greater” to distinguish him from James, “the Lesser”, son of Alphaeus who was also a disciple of Christ, but much less is known about him. He was called “lesser” probably because he was younger and possibly physically smaller. The third James is James of Jerusalem, who in many denominations is considered the half-brother

of Jesus and the author of the epistle of James in the New Testament. He is also often referred to as James the Just because of his piety. This James was a leader of the church at Jerusalem. St. James the Greater, along with his brother John and Peter, was part of Jesus’ inner circle of disciples. These three witnessed the Transfiguration, the healing of Peter’s motherin-law, the resurrection of Jairus’ daughter, and were present at the garden of Gethsemane before Jesus was arrested. James’ ministry in Jerusalem angered King Herod Agrippa who had him “put to death by the sword” according to the Bible in Acts 12:1-2. James was the first of the disciples to be martyred and on the only one whose martyrdom is mentioned in the Bible. James the Greater is the patron saint of Spain where according to tradition he preached the gospel. There

are many legends concerning James and Spain which haven’t been corroborated. One is that after James was beheaded by Herod, his followers decided to place his body in a rudderless boat and sail with it to wherever God guided it. It landed in Spain, and James’ body was eventually enshrined in Compostela, a small town in the northwest region. In the Middle Ages, it became one of the most famous pilgrimage places in the world. Because of the pilgrimages to Compostela, James is often depicted in pictures as a barefoot pilgrim himself, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a pilgrim’s staff with hooks for hanging a water gourd. His hat or tunic is often decorated with a cockle shell to represent how his body was transported by boat to Spain. However, St. James the Greater is commemorated not for the legends, but for his personal friendship to Jesus and how his devotion cost him his life.

Thank you to all individuals, businesses and organizations who donate financially. Your efforts are so important in supporting the young people of our community.
