RISSLER CHILI SUPPER The Rissler Elementary School PTO hosted its annual chili supper and book fair Thursday evening at the school, raising funds that will be used for items that benefit both teachers and students. Pictured serving at this year’s event, which also included a pie and dessert auction conducted by Norman Ropp, are Jenna Vandel, left, and Adriane Todd, with Rachel and Cody Walton and children Connor Walton and Rachel and Lucas Lorenz, preparing to enjoy the chili and cinnamon rolls.

ECONOMIC VITALITY: Thinking Outside The Box Success Will Be More Than Large Manufacturer What do the words “economic development” have to do with getting your kids and grandkids to move back to the Trenton area? A lot, if you believe what local economic development officials are saying.

Once upon a time, economic development meant getting a big piece of land or unused building and attracting a large manufacturing firm to locate in Grundy County. While that’s still a goal and any and all large manufacturing companies are more than welcome to come here to make their home, local officials are also looking at other ways to attract businesses - including businesses that may only employ a few people.

In recent weeks, there have been discussions about the land available in Grundy County and what can be developed to attract these businesses.

Scott Sharp, director of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance, has met with the Trenton City Council and economic leaders to discuss the need for a plot of land - something the city already owns north of town but without utility service to it. Sharp said he receives regular requests from the Missouri Partnership to submit proposals to businesses hoping to locate or ex-

pand in Missouri. An example of a recent request includes a manufacturing company looking for an existing building on 20 acres or a build to suit site located on 20 acres within 200 miles of Kansas City.

That company, which would manufacture trailers, would create 170 to 220 jobs. The request came by email at 2:40 p.m. on Sept. 1 and the proposal was due by noon on Friday, Sept. 3. Not much time if you don’t already have something in place.

And Grundy County doesn’t.

The city owns a 43-acre tract of land on the northeast corner of NW 10th Avenue and NW 27th Street and a 48-acre tract south of NW 27th Street. The cost to run sanitary sewer service to the north tract is estimated at $900,809.53, with the cost for sanitary sewer service to the south tract coming in at $188,980.47. Water service to the north tract would run another $1,112,925.31. That’s a lot of money and, following a meeting held recently at the Barton Farm Campus, Grundy County Industrial Development Corporation President Jackie Soptic said a land swap might be a better option.

“Out of this meeting came Grundy Electric Cooperative, the city of Trenton and the IDC hoping to work together to get a good adjacent plot of land within the city and then maybe sell the other land,” Mrs. Soptic said. “Do some kind of swap. Instead of spending $2 million on infrastructure for that land, just do a land swap and then you have a good tract of land to offer.”

But there are other types of “development” that may be more effective in spurring economic development in north Missouri.

Mrs. Soptic said the best use of Sharp’s time and energy is not in trying to figure out how to get utilities to the city-owned land, but to focus on expansion of existing businesses, retention of businesses and assisting entrepreneurs.

“We can’t play the attraction [See VITALITY, Page 8]

Leaders Get Vision For What Downtown Trenton Could Potentially Offer What downtown Trenton could be got some extra attention last week when those involved in revitalizing the area received customized training through a USDA and Missouri Main Street Connection Grant.

Keith Winge, MMSC Community Development Director; Ben Muldrow, a brand specialist with Arnett Muldrow; and Jim Thompson, Iowa Main Street Economic Vitality Specialist were on hand to conduct the training, which had participants take a hard look at what downtown Trenton is today and what it could be. The trio spent time with business and property owners, volunteers, Main Street Trenton board members and downtown supporters. Some of Trenton’s “positives” were discussed, including North Central Missouri College, Crowder State Park, quality public schools, a high rate of young people returning to the area, etc.

But they also pointed out some things that need to change if “downtown” is going to be the destination business owners hope it will become.

As visitors to the city they said it was not always apparent which downtown businesses are open and which are vacant, making it not a place that made them want to “stop and get out.”

“Tell your story on the outside as well as on the inside,” Thompson suggested.

Muldrow said the flag pole in the middle of Five Points - and the five converging streets themselves - are somewhat disorienting.

“Five Points is unique, but there’s so much asphalt!” he said.

Of course, it was made very clear that Five Points is here to stay, as is the flag pole, and Muldrow used the “five points” design when he presented possible “brands” to be used downtown.

Branding, he said, is “the discovery and preservation of a community’s personality.” Based on that, the Five Points “brand” was important to those attending the meeting.

[See DOWNTOWN, Page 8]

The defendant in the case involving the shooting of a Trenton police officer has been found competent to stand trial.

According to online court records, Jamey A. Griffin of Trenton has been evaluated and it was found that he is not only competent now, but was at the time of the June 2019 shooting of Trenton Police Officer Jasmine Diab in Daviess County. The letter to 43rd Circuit Judge Ryan Horsman from Dr. Heather McMahon, director of psychology/director of treatment services at Northwest Missouri Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center in St. Joseph, indicates that the recent exam found that Griffin is “competent to stand trial and at the time of the alleged criminal conduct was not rendered incapable of knowing or appreciating the nature, quality or wrongfulness of his conduct by reason of mental disease or defect.” Griffin is charged with first degree assault, a class A felony; unlawful use of a weapon, also a class A felony; and armed criminal action, an unclassified felony.

Griffin has been held in custody since the shooting and trial-setting has been scheduled for Nov. 9 in Livingston County Circuit Court, where the case was moved on a change of venue. Officer Diab sustained serious injuries in the shooting. She was transporting Griffin to St. Joseph for a mental health evaluation when he was able to obtain her service weapon and shoot her as they traveled through Winston.

Children’s COVID-19 Vaccine

The Grundy County Health Department will hold a children’s COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Tuesday, Nov. 30 at the health department.

GCHD Administrator Elizabeth Gibson said the Pfizer vaccine will be available from 2 to 4:30 p.m. for children ages 5 to 11. She said that vaccine is a smaller dosage than that for adults, but is still a two-shot vaccine. Ms. Gibson said the health department has been busy providing all of the vaccines available, including booster shots for the virus.

Anyone receiving their first or second dose of the COVID19 vaccine is eligible for a $50 gift card, which is being made available through federal funding.

Ms. Gibson said that as of Monday morning, there were 14 active cases of COVID-19 in the county, with 13 new cases reported in the past seven days.

R-9 Board Agenda

The Trenton R-9 Board of Education will meet in regular session at 5:30 tonight (Tuesday, Nov. 9) at the district office.

Items on the announced agenda include 2021C MSBA policy updates, school calendar adjustment to make Dec. 6 a full day out, election filing dates, approval of hard surface bus routes/winter weather plans, discussion of the Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan, a review of the Gifted Program, a safety report, instructional coach updates, principal reports, a superintendent’s report and a closed session to discuss personnel.

Filing Deadline Shortened

If you’re thinking about running for a city or school board office in the April 5, 2022 election you’d better make your mind up a little quicker this time!

This year, rather than having about a month to file for office, candidates will have from 8 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7 until 5 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 28. The change has come about due to the passage of House Bill 271.

In the past, many candidates for school board filed prior to Christmas break or after schools had re-opened in January. Chrissy Peters, Missouri director of elections, said her office has been in contact with the Missouri School Boards Association in regard to the fact that the majority of the candidate filing period is during the school district Christmas breaks. MSBA will be holding meetings with all board secretaries regarding the timeline for candidate filing and how they will be affected. Local political entities will announce their hours for filing in the near future.

Festival Of Trees Nov. 27

The 13th Annual Festival of Trees has been scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 27 at the Rock Barn in Trenton.

The event, which benefits those with special needs, will get under way with a parade at 5:30 p.m., followed by live music and crafts from 6 to 7 p.m. and an auction of decorated trees at 7 p.m.

NCMC To Honor Veterans

In honor of Veterans Day, North Central Missouri College will participate in the National Roll Call Event which is taking place at college campuses across the nation. The National Roll Call will be held at noon on Thursday in front of Geyer Hall on the NCMC campus, with members of the public invited to attend.

The program will include NCMC student leaders, faculty, staff and board of trustee members. Area veterans and fallen heroes will be honored in a roll call of names read during the ceremony. NCMC will also participate in the National Moment of Silence at 1 p.m. Drone filming of the event will occur, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved into the gym at the Ketcham Community Center. Main Street in front of Geyer Hall, 13th Street to Crowder Road, will be closed for the ceremony from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. to accommodate the crowd and local service vehicles.

DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP MACON @ MARYVILLE FRIDAY, 7 P.M.

SEMIFINALS

OVER AND OUT Maryville Overwhelms Trenton With A Flurry In The Final Minutes Of The First Half The Trenton Bulldogs 2021 high school football season effectively ended in the final two minutes of the first half Friday night at the ’Hound Pound in Maryville.

With the ball at midfield, Trenton had a chance to drive down the field for a touchdown that would have pulled the Bulldogs to within 20-10 at halftime, something that would have no doubt raised the eyebrows of all following the Class 2, District 7 semifinal from afar.

But Trenton didn’t score and Maryville reeled off 17 points in the final minute and a half before the teams hit the locker rooms.

CALEB JOHNSON sacks Maryville quarterback Connor Drake during Trenton’s Class 2, District 7 semifinal loss on Friday.

When the sequence was over, after the ’Hounds had bitten Trenton with a barrage of long passes and a safety, the home squad leaped and bounded up the hill to their respective locker room. The Bulldogs still had a half to play, but their district championship game hopes were effectively extinguished there, without scoring another point, en route to a 51-3 seasonending loss.

“It just happened so fast,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “And, we don’t have a great come-from-behind offense that’s going to score a bunch of points in a quick turnaround.”

Perhaps asking the Bulldogs to drive down the field for a touchdown that would have reeled Maryville in to within 10 points was asking too much, though.

Maryville limited Trenton’s offense all game. Even when Gabe Stark blew up the Maryville backfield, creating a fumble that [See TRENTON, Page 3]

GALLATIN 34, MILAN 14

Gallatin Into Title Game Bulldogs Get Another Crack At Hamilton The Gallatin Bulldogs didn’t expect to jump on Milan with two touchdowns inside the first 30 seconds like they did in their Grand River Conference meeting last month.

Still, trailing the visiting Wildcats 7-0 after a quarter of play Friday night in the Class 1, District 7 semi-

finals was a little unnerving. But, it was also no problem for a team that has had an answer for adversity at nearly every turn.

Gallatin trailed, but never wavered, going on to oust Milan with a 34-14 victory. The win punched the Bulldogs’ ticket to the district championship game where they will get another crack at Hamilton — one of only two teams to defeat Gallatin this season.

After Milan took the first lead of the game late in the first quarter, Gallatin was

able to come back with a touchdown pass from Peyton Baker to Isaac Bird, but a missed point-after kick kept Milan in front. Gallatin’s second touchdown would come just four minutes later. Baker hooked up with Payton Feiden for this touchdown and found him again on the 2-point try to send the Bulldogs into the locker room up 14-7.

The lead stayed at seven until late in the third quarter when Feiden blocked a Milan punt and [See GALLATIN, Page 4]

Trenton Reaches The End

[TRENTON, from Page 2] Sam Gibson recovered just 20 yards from the end zone, Trenton couldn’t capitalize, settling for a 29-yard field goal from Gibson — what turned out to be the only points of the evening for the Bulldogs.

When it was all said and done, Trenton had rushed for just 73 yards and managed only 110 overall, their lowest respective totals of the season. Gibson, who turned in 1,470 yards in an otherwise fantastic season, led Trenton with 48 yards rushing, his lowest total of the year by 26 yards.

Maryville stacked the box to slow down Trenton’s ground game, so much so that their secondary seemed suspect. Nate Burkeybile was able to beat Maryville four times, totaling 37 yards. Each catch was big to keep drives alive, but Trenton’s passing game simply wasn’t good enough to take advantage of holes in the Spoofhound secondary — especially with Tucker Otto on the sidelines after breaking his leg in week 9 against South Harrison.

Ultimately, Maryville was just better. The program that proudly boasts five state championships on their scoreboard — four coming at the Class 3 level and all coming since Trenton’s lone triumph in 1966 — will play for its secondstraight district championship and 12th in the last 13 years on Friday. The Spoofhounds will host Macon, who toppled second-seeded Palmyra on the road, 34-7.

The Spoofhounds were without star running back Caden Stoecklein who was out with an injury but that opened the door for former

Trenton Bulldog Tyler Siemer to star against his former team. Siemer returned the opening kickoff 60 yards for a touchdown and would finish the night leading Maryville with 109 yards and a rushing touchdown on nine carries.

Siemer had 150 yards and a touchdown in Maryville’s week 1 loss to Blair Oaks, but carried the ball just 29 times for 223 yards over the next seven weeks.

Stoecklein’s injury opened the door for the former Bulldog, however, and he rushed for 101 yards and a score on 12 carries in week 9, the final regular season game of the year.

Siemer’s first two touchdowns staked the Spoofhounds to a 14-0 lead before Gibson’s field goal got the Bulldogs on the board. Maryville’s first passing touchdown pushed the lead to 20-3 on the first play of the second quarter.

“Once we get behind like that we have a tough time,” Hixson said. “I think it is just the pressure, you know.

Hopefully we will get out of that, get away from that mentality of the game getting too big for us. The Gallatin game, this game, but we put some effort out, we battled.”

The Bulldogs’ defense dug in until the final two minutes. Trenton turned Maryville over twice and stopped the Spoofhounds on downs another time.

The Bulldogs’ couldn’t hold out forever, though and Maryville hit a big pass play, setting up a Cooper Low 6-yard touchdown run. After Trenton botched the kick return, Ian Elbert was tackled in his own end zone for a safety. Maryville had a big return on the free kick before scoring one

final first-half touchdown on a 28-yard pass.

In the second half, a punt return to the 2-yard line set up another Maryville score and the ’Hounds got in one more time on a fumble return of 28 yards. The clock ran continuously for the majority of the half, bringing an accelerated end to the Trenton season.

With the loss, Trenton closed the year with a 5-6 overall record — a big jump from the program’s 08 showing a year ago. The Bulldogs also collected their first district win since 2016 last week, defeating Brookfield in the quarterfinals, 28-6.

“I think the kids played hard and played well together,” Hixson said of the season. “They are really a tight-woven group. My expectation was higher and so they tried to achieve more.

They did a great job and put in a lot of effort and hard work. The expectation is going to be even higher [next year]. We expect to get right back here.”

Trenton, for the most part, will bring back the bulk of its team. Unanimous All-Grand River Conference selection Caleb Johnson will be the biggest loss, but players like Burkeybile, Trevor Murphy and Kaden Owen came into their own this season to earn all-conference honors as well.

Gibson will be back, though, as well as Gabe Novak, who rushed for over 800 yards, and quarterback Coleman Griffin giving Trenton its entire backfield back. Stark, who played particularly well alongside Murphy in the middle of the line against Maryville will be a big asset coming back as well.

THE GALLATIN JUNIOR HIGH football team recently completed its 2021 season with a 1-4 overall record. Above, the offensive line lines up for a play against Milan. Below, quarterback Jackson Ohlburg looks to pass against South Harrison.

“To say I was elated when asked to be the head coach this year for junior high football is an understatement,” coach Stephen Wood said. “I truly enjoy the game of football and teaching the future stars of the game. I was very fortunate to be allowed the opportunity to work with these athletes. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching them the game I love and watching them grow throughout the season. These young athletes played with heart and fought adversity with tenacity in every game. Although their season was fraught with injury and adversity, they never gave up and I couldn’t be prouder of the way they played. This is an excellent group of athletes and I look forward to seeing what they are capable of in years to come.”

North Central Men Shock No. 1 Pirates Stay Undefeated, Win Two At Classic The North Central Missouri College men’s basketball program has really put itself on the map over the past three seasons, advancing to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament each year after collecting region and district championships.

Early indications show the run isn’t ending anytime soon.

With a cast of largely unknown and unproven players, the Pirates have reeled off three-straight wins to start the season.

The third, which came on Saturday at the Ketcham Community Center, saw North Central topple the No. 1 team in the nation and defending NJCAA national champion — Des Moines Area Community College — by a final score of 78-65.

“Saturday was especially special, beating the No.1 team in the nation and defending champs at home,” Pirates’ head coach Jeremy Esry said. “Our crowd was great and really gave us some energy. I know our guys played off of that and really appreciated playing in front of everyone. These are they types of teams and games that we want to play

in. Hopefully our guys learned that they can play with anyone when they are focused and locked in.

“We have to remember that it is the first week of the season and we have a lot more work to do to improve, but what a great way to start out the year.”

It was a statement victory for the Pirates, who opened the season ranked 19th in the nation.

Des Moines Area had plenty of high flyers on the roster, but the Bears lacked an answer for Pirate big man Mack Anderson. Anderson, who made his first start of the season against Des Moines Area, dominated in the post, leading all scorers with 20 points while pulling down seven rebounds and dishing out four assists.

Across the block, Kolton Girffin added 15 points and 11 rebounds and Sterling DeSha gave the Pirates 15 points and seven rebounds.

Guy Moran knocked down a trio of threepointers and reached double figures as well, scoring 11 points in the win.

The Pirates worked their way out to a 12-point lead at the break, holding a 4432 advantage. In the second half North Central continually answered any charge Des Moines mounted and when the final buzzer sounded, North Central’s lead was still intact as the

Pirates picked up the 13point victory.

North Central won at home on Friday as well, opening up the North Central Classic with a 98-80 victory over Kansas City Kansas Community College.

DeSha led the Pirates in their second win of the season, scoring a game-high 25 points. Griffin had 20 points and 15 rebounds and Guy Moran finished with 13 points off the bench, going 3-for-3 from threepoint distance.

North Central also got 10 points from Gerald Gittens, who also had five assists in the win. Isaiah Ervin finished with nine points and three assists.

The win over KCKCC was the 100th career win for Esry, who took the program over in 2016 and is 101-46 overall after the DMACC win on Saturday.

Now 3-0, North Central will hit the road for the first time this season, traveling to Ellsworth Community College in Iowa to take on the Panthers tonight (Tuesday). The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30.

NCMC Women 96 Marshalltown Women 55 The North Central women moved to 2-0 on the season with a drubbing of visiting Marshalltown Community College Saturday afternoon at the KCC.

The Pirates used a 32-12 run out of the gate to set the tempo and continued to dominate in the second quarter, going into the locker room up 60-23.

North Central was on cruise control in the second half, getting everyone involved on the way to the 41-point victory.

“I really thought our team played with energy from the start of the game,” North Central head coach Jenni Croy said. “We talked about focusing our efforts on defense and making sure we were active and aggressive. We were able to utilize our press and turned steals into points in the first half.”

Nora Ford had 21 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals to pace the Pirates in the win. Kennadie Crowe added 16 points and five boards and Maci Moore finished with 13 points, seven steals and six rebounds. Both of North Central’s other starters reached double digits as well with Jasmine Taylor tallying 11 points and seven rebounds and Angel Wiggins going for 10 points, four assists and three steals. Jordan Hibner had nine points off the bench.

The NCMC women will look to go 3-for-3 tonight (Tuesday) as they play host to Fort Scott Community College at 5:30.

Gallatin Rallies For Win [GALLATIN, from Page 2] Gabe Parker pounced on it in the end zone for a Gallatin touchdown. Draven Wright booted the pointafter kick and Gallatin’s lead was two full scores at 21-7.

Just when it felt like Gallatin was in the clear, however, Milan came back, scoring to cut the lead back to one possession. Gallatin thwarted the threat, though, scoring one minute later on Baker’s third touchdown pass, his second to Feiden.

Baker added a rushing touchdown for good measure with under a minute to play and the Bulldogs were championship-game bound.

Gallatin dropped its first meeting with Hamilton 280, but the Bulldogs are a vastly different team now.

Baker was making just the second start of his career in that first matchup with the Hornets, long before he became a quarterback that has thrown for 2,000 yards and rushed for another 500.

The district championship game at Alumni Field in Hamilton will kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension HOW ENERGY PRICES ARE RELATED TO AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION Jason Morris Linn County Engagement Specialist in Ag and Environment Production agriculture is extremely sensitive to the price fluctuation of energy costs. This can be observed through the cost of inputs including fertilizer and fuel oil.

Energy prices felt by farmers and ranchers include price swings in natural gas and oil markets, subsidy taxation and climate change policies.

The latter can include items such as controlled emission restrictions and taxes. The price of oil has a direct correlation in farming though consumption of petroleum products such as diesel and gas, electricity and energy utilized for irrigation equipment. Energy prices also play an integral role in farm production through indirect

uses such as fertilizer. Expenses related to agriculture production are extremely important to profitability and thus, energy costs impact decisions related to production.

Increased energy costs typically lower agriculture productivity and increases amounts for agriculture goods. In turn, this decreases farm revenue and places a burden on the entire farming segment. In the row crop sector, corn has the largest energy related cost while soybeans typically have the least. USDA research data shows that when expenses related to fuel increases from 2.6% to 5.3% with an increase of up to 10 percent in fertilizer costs, acreage for total crop production decreases by 0.2 percent. This translates into

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 WHERE DOES THE BUCK STOP? Where does the buck stop?

It ought to stop at the President’s desk. At least that’s the way it used to be.

Missouri’s own President Harry S. Truman famously displayed a sign on his desk that proclaimed “I’m from Missouri” on one side and “the buck stops here” on the other. The message was simple—no matter how tough, the decisions made in the White House are made by the President, and the President bears the responsibility for the consequences

of those actions.

Sadly, the current occupant of the White House doesn’t believe that applies to him. He blames OPEC for the high gas prices that his anti-American energy polices have created. He blames COVID for the supply chain crisis that his onerous government mandates have made considerably worse. He blames concerned American workers and parents for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine that he has incessantly politicized. In short, he

a reduction of planting and harvesting of most crops with soybeans being the exception. Thus, production for corn, the single most important feed source for animals, decreases causing the supply of soybeans to increase and soybean prices to decrease. However, we must also include corn into ethanol production. As corn competes with oil as an input in gasoline production, when the price of oil increases so does corn.

As with all farming, livestock producers are impacted by expenses related to energy costs. Though somewhat less affected than crop producers, those in the livestock industry see increases in feed cost. This derives from both delivered and farm produced feed stuffs through increased fuel and market prices. Due to oil prices, transportation of animals, and other input costs associated with animal production increase as well.

While beef production would see the largest increase in costs, poultry would realize the least as the conversion ratio of feed to meat is the

most efficient. With a tighter supply of corn for feed and ethanol, prices will increase due to the supply and demand module.

Energy prices directly impact food values for consumers through agriculture production. Variations in food expenses typically derive from commodity prices being impacted from energy costs.

This increase in food price is also noted within the food marketing system. Oil price is the primary component impacting fluctuating food prices. It also impacts food costs volatilities in both the short- and long-term effects.

In addition to energy prices, increases in interest rates also impact food prices.

Though it is typically seen in increased capital cost, interest rate increases impact different sectors of agriculture.

Inflation also impacts cost of agriculture production as associated costs increases.

However, global trade and the need for oil for more sectors than just agriculture puts an incredible amount of pressure on agriculture producers and products.

blames everyone for his own failures—everyone but himself.

It’s as though the Administration just isn’t willing to listen to how devastating these mandates and regulations are for American workers and American families. Take his most recent mandate for example. He wants to force American businesses to fire workers that don’t comply with his vaccine mandate—even essential workers that risked their lives working through the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic to keep this country going. It’s disgraceful, and it also ignores the reality on the ground with the supply chain crisis.

We’re already having trouble getting folks to work at our ports and warehouses, fill tens of thousands of truck driving vacancies, and staff other critical supply chain industries. This mandate is only going to make the labor

shortage worse. It’s going to make it harder to clear the backlog at our ports and it’s going to place a real burden on our struggling food supply system—making it harder for schools to continue providing meals to children.

These aren’t “high class problems” for rich folk, they’re real-world problems for working families. I don’t know if somebody just isn’t telling the President that, but he ought to have figured it out by now. That’s his job.

Like millions of Americans, I’m sick and tired of all the buck passing going on in the White House. The President needs a reality check. He needs to stop pandering to leftwing extremists and start listening to everyday Americans instead of bureaucrats and political consultants.

Enough is enough. No more mandates, no more tax hikes and fees, and no more passing the buck.

It is our pleasure to honor Veterans, past and present, and especially the men and women of our community who have served in our armed forces.

LOCAL Vitality

Mrs. Soptic said having fiber optic internet is equal to any other kind of infrastructure a company might be looking for in a location.

“Internet is equal to having the sewer, water, etc, for a business,” she explained, mentioning especially the way Zoom has been used during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think it will pay off big time. The pandemic really pushed the idea of working remotely to the forefront.

It’s launched us into a whole new environment.”

While internet access is vital, Mrs. Soptic believes there’s also a human component to bringing development to Grundy County - and this is where those kids and grandkids come in.

“Young people are not going to come back or stay in the area if they didn’t have a positive experi-

game very well right now,” she said.

So if not a big “shovelready” piece of land, what does Trenton and Grundy County have to offer?

Fiber optic internet would be one thing. In fact, by the end of the year, the whole county will have fiber internet access between the efforts of Grundy Electric Cooperative and Grand River Mutual. Ten years ago, no one even knew what that was, and now, it’s vital to any business locating in Grundy County -and for anyone who wants to live here and work remotely. In fact,

ence...We will focus on those who had a good feeling growing up in the community. Those are the ones you have to have; the ones who keep coming back for things in town. The pandemic really highlighted the need for family and that’s making people look at moving back here if they can. We have a high percentage of people who have come back to stay.

Drive down the street and you can see that - doctors, insurance agents, teachers, it’s much higher than most rural areas. We need to zero in on ways that we can help people have a positive experience growing up here so they’ll want to come back. You never know what seeds you’re planting.”

Mrs. Soptic said that not only did the pandemic show people the need for family, it showed Grundy County that it can survive

and even thrive in hard times.

“We have really good economic indicators,” she said. “During the pandemic we didn’t lose a single business and sales tax increased.”

Mrs. Soptic believes that it’s not just her organization or Sharp’s organization or Main Street Trenton (see sidebar) or even our elected officials who are tasked with bringing economic vitality to Trenton it will take the entire community to put its best foot forward.

“We like to say that economic development is a team sport,” she said. “The person running the cash register at the convenience store can make or break something when the person they’re waiting on is someone who’s thinking about bringing a business to town.”

Megan Taul, executive director of Main Street Trenton, said the event was certainly worthwhile.

“Their expertise provided us incredible information from branding materials and event breakdowns to protecting our historic buildings and a business recruitment guide,” she said. “This customized training created a vision of what our downtown can be and the growth and potential we are capable of - an inviting family-friendly place that our community can enjoy and where small businesses can prosper and grow. ” While a lot of the conversations centered around strategic planning, grass roots efforts, the challenges

of finding employees and housing in Trenton, who works in town and who commutes, Thompson made a point that hit “home” for those who are spending their time trying to make Trenton a great place to live.

“Where you choose to live is really important,” he said. “You might have people who choose to commute to work. But they choose to live in Trenton.”

Trenton was one of seven communities to receive the training, which was held Nov. 1-3, and Mrs. Taul said she is ready to hit the ground running with the ideas presented.

“We are very excited to utilize these revitalization strategies to further our mission for a vibrant and sustainable Downtown Trenton,” she said.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from someone who said there is no tipping in Europe.

I can categorically say that there is tipping in Europe -- if we accept that Britain is in Europe. I am a 43-year-old Brit, and I tip almost every time I eat at a restaurant, unless the service has been bad. Family and friends do the same.

There are various things like a "service charge" that the restaurant might add, but leaving some cash on the table (say, 10%) is a very common occurrence.

Some coffee shops even have tip jars to encourage tipping. Ride-sharing and food delivery apps invite you to leave a tip.

Tipping is even debated in the media, particularly regarding ways to make sure the staff, not the owners, get the tips.

We tip the wait staff to help increase their takehome pay, which is low relative to living costs, and to thank them for good service, as has been customary for time immemorial. --

Local From Manchester, England Dear Local From Manchester: Thank you for telling us about tipping in England. I notice you said 10%, which is less than most Americans tip.

Dear Annie: Staying close to family is not easy, but it is really important.

When my mom was younger, I was busy with work, kids, their extracurricular activities, and keeping up with housework and yard work. My spouse worked graveyard shifts for many, many years. And I lived quite far away from my mom, when long-distance bills were a thing we had to budget for.

Now Mom is in her ninth decade and not in the best health. To my dismay, she rarely answers the phone. I make a point of emailing her every week or so, to send her news of our branch of the family.

We recently moved to a warmer, less expensive community as retirees, and I won't be seeing my adult children and the grandchil-

Service catastrophes like those suffered by American Airlines last week generate unhappy customers and bad headlines, but they don’t often affect an airline’s stock performance.

Staffing shortages caused American to cancel more than 2,000 flights in four days. The stock?

Since the day before disruptions began, American’s shares gained 13.7% through Friday — in line with its closest rivals.

Southwest’s shares have fallen about 3.3% since before a wellpublicized October mess that resulted in about 2,400 cancellations over four days, but Delta, which had no such problems, gained

1.4% in that stretch.

Spirit’s saga is the most cautionary. Its shares have lost nearly 12% since mid-summer disruptions, far worse than the 2.5% drop seen at fellow discounter Allegiant. Spirit’s meltdown lasted longer and affected a much higher percentage of flights. It’s also a younger and smaller carrier that lacks the customer loyalty of bigger airlines.

Analysts say big disruptions at one airline can cause some travelers to book on other carriers, but damage — to bookings and the stock — is almost always temporary.

Some are punished: Stock performance compared to their competitors after major cancellation of flights until Friday close.

dren every day. I do try to stay in touch, but I also know they have obligations and responsibilities and very busy lives. They don't often initiate a call. So, I'm learning to be OK with that as well.

I email the adults letters to share with their children, and I send "snail mail" to the children, too. I'm the one who has the time and energy to maintain connection at this point in our lives, whether it is with my mom or my offspring.

It's good to tell people you miss them, but it's critical to cultivate relationships, within the family and within your community, to find ways to be less dependent and more socially self-sufficient. -- Sandwiched Dear Sandwiched: Thank you for sharing your experience. You are trying hard to stay in touch with family, and I'm sure your mom and your children appreciate it, even if they are too preoccupied to say so.

AREA DEATHS

Marie Kamphefner Legendary cake artist Marie Kamphefner passed away Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021.

Marie was born in Grundy County in 1943, a terrific surprise to her parents Edith and Earl Husted.

She graduated from Trenton Senior High in 1961. She moved to California briefly after high school and enjoyed the fruits of the avocado trees there. She married Lewis Kamphefner in 1967, a union that would produce three tall and extremely sarcastic children.

Marie learned to decorate cakes to save money on birthday sweets. That sparked a career that would span decades. She earned a reputation for creative, delicious and visually stunning confections. Marie was a wizard in the kitchen.

Her cakes were fantastic, but she also made possibly the best mashed potatoes in the galaxy. Her canned green beans are considered currency in some countries.

Don’t even get me started on her lasagna!

Marie enjoyed organic gardening, music, her kids

and grandkids, tie-dye, road trips and shopping.

She was an expert at taking selfies with hats. She collected chickens, strawberries, moons and stars and Great Pyrenees dogs.

She was a bright, clever, funny, weird, quirky lady with an excellent sense of humor.

God help you if you got on her bad side.

We will celebrate the life of our beloved Marie from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton.

Naomi Elizabeth Scott Naomi Elizabeth Scott, a 91-year-old Spickard resident, passed away at 11:05 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5, 2021, at her residence, where she was under hospice care.

Funeral services were scheduled for 2 p.m., today (Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021), at the First Assembly of God Church in Trenton.

Burial followed in Resthaven Memorial Gardens of Trenton.

Naomi was born June 22, 1930, in Davenport, IA to William Harl and Anna Mae Norris Barnett. When she was one, the family moved to the Trenton area.

She graduated from Trenton High School and on May 28, 1950 she was united in marriage to Raymond Scott in Trenton. He survives of the home.

While Raymond was in the Air Force during the Korean War, they lived in Spokane, WA and were also stationed in Canada.

She and Raymond traveled across North America, vis-

iting all 48 contiguous states. She also took a European trip with other area residents. In addition to traveling, Naomi loved spending time making her ‘Friday rounds’ each week with her sister and best friend, Ethel Booth. Naomi worked for Trenton Hardware as well as being an active homemaker. For many years she served as treasurer for the First Assembly of God Church where she was a member and lifetime attendee.

Naomi volunteered for the Senior Center, Grundy County Voter Commission and served as a cook at the A/G summer youth camps in Excelsior Springs.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her sons, Alan Scott (Diana) of Kearney and Stan Scott (Robyn) of Trenton; grandchildren Stephanie Wachob (John), Timothy Scott, Mickey Scott (Cricket), Casey Scott and Michael Scott

(Rebecca); step-grandchildren Ethan Boren (Sarah) and Erin Boren; greatgrandchildren Eli Wachob and Moxxie, Genevieve, Roslyn and Audrey Scott; step-great-granddaughter Violet Boren; sisters-inlaw Margaret Ann Barnett, Roberta Allen and Betty Scott; and brother-in-law Curtis Scott (Ruth); as well as many nieces and nephews.

Those preceding her in death include her parents; sisters, Ruth Woods, Helen Young, Bessie Wilfong, Ethel Booth and infant sister Betty Jane Barnett; brothers, Lester, Paul, Dale, Ralph, Glen and Elmer Barnett and their spouses.

Memorial donations are suggested to the First Assembly of God Missionettes and may be left with or mailed to the Slater-Neal Funeral Home of Trenton.

Online condolences may be left at www.resthavenmort.com.

Leadership NW Is Topic At Rotary Meeting The recent Leadership Northwest Missouri fundraising concert in Trenton was the topic of a program presented to the Trenton Rotary Club at its meeting on Thursday, Nov. 4 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Tom Witten was sergeant at arms.

Shane Lynch. Practice Manager at Wright Memorial Hospital, and Jenna Stevens, director of advising and retention at NCMC, told about the concert, which was held on Sept. 25. Both were members of the 2021 leadership class, which organized the fundraiser headed by an eight-member committee. Lynch, who spent 11 years in Nashville, TN and served as committee chairman, was able to secure Sunny Sweeney to perform at the event along with local singer Salem Croy, who opened the con-

cert. Mrs. Stevens was in charge of all the design work used to promote both the concert and the leadership program. The event raised $9,900 for the leadership program, whose focus is to develop leaders across a 19-county area through classes and discussions during sessions that begin in January and end in July. Sessions are held at various locations throughout Northwest Missouri, with graduation being held at Trenton. Lynch said each class plans a fundraiser to provide money for the next class, which is what led to the concert. He said the program hopes to make the concert an annual event as it was very well received.

During the business meeting, it was announced the new Rotary meeting signs are now in place at the entrance to BTC Bank and on Ninth Street next to the former Andereck, Evans law office. The club has been invited to partici-

See Page 7 of today’s Republican-Times for the Daily Record and other Local news

pate in the Princeton Rotary Club Trivia Night, scheduled in February.

Chris Hoffman said the club will be serving as “bell ringers” for the Salvation Army on two days in December, with the dates to be announced.

The club will hold its next meeting on Thursday, Nov. 22 at the BTC Bank community room.

club member who transferred to Northwest after graduating NCMC,” joked Jason Helton, co-advisor of the NCMC Shooting Sports Club. “We want to thank Dick Thompson, Dan Lockridge, and other members of the Trenton Trap and Skeet Range for their help throughout the fall and for helping us host this event.”
