Back-To-School Event Planned For August 12 The community has a chance to help impact families in Grundy County as a county-wide back-toschool event is being planned for Thursday, Aug. 12. Bright Futures Trenton is organizing the one-day event, which will include the distribution of school supplies, clothing, shoes, hygiene supplies and haircuts. As many families struggle to provide the needed items for their children as the start of school rolls around, the efforts are meant to assist students in having a positive and less stressful start to a new school year. Bright Futures Trenton has invited all Grundy County schools to participate in the event and is reaching out to churches, businesses, organizations and individuals to assist in the gathering of needed school supplies and donations to purchase those items. The goal is to distribute school supplies, clothing, shoes and hygiene items to any Grundy County student in need, preschool through 12th grade. Those wishing to offer assistance may contact the schools listed below to match donations to student needs. Examples of a commitment might include do[See EVENT, Page 7]

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed House Bill 574 at a ceremony held Thursday afternoon at North Central Missouri College’s Barton Farm Campus. The bill limits who can inspect agricultural property. Others joining in the ceremony included, from left, 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman, Second District State Rep. J. Eggleston, 43rd State Rep. Kent Haden, Missouri Farm Bureau President Garrett Hawkins, Missouri Cattleman’s Association Executive Vice-President Mike Deering, Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn and Eighth District State Rep. Randy Railsback.

GOVERNOR PARSON VISITS TRENTON Signs Bill Into Law At NCMC Barton Campus Missouri Gov. Mike Parson made a visit to North Central Missouri College’s Barton Campus Thursday afternoon to sign a law that limits who can inspect certain farming operations. House Bill 574, sponsored by 43rd District State Rep. Kent Haden, R-Mexico, specifies that the Missouri Department of Agriculture, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the United States Department of Agriculture, the county sheriff and/or any other federal or Missouri state agency with statutory or regulatory authority have exclusive authority to inspect the grounds or facilities in Missouri that are used for the production of eggs, milk or other

dairy products, or the raising of livestock. Unless the owner makes the request, no other entity may inspect the grounds or facilities to enforce or carry out the laws or administrative rules of the state or that of another state. The provisions of the bill would not apply to inspections in a charter county, except St. Charles County, or the cities of St. Louis or Kansas City, on any further processing component of a production agriculture farm, or on any searches carried out under the Department of Conservation’s regulations. The bill goes on to say that no testimony or evidence offered regarding conditions or events at the facilities by anyone other than those authorized may be admissable in any criminal prosecution unless the testimony is offered by someone who is authorized by the owner to be present at

the facility or grounds, a person who entered pursuant to a valid search warrant or a person who observed the condition or event from public land or private land owned or rented by that person. In his remarks, Gov. Parson said agriculture is the “heart and soul” of Missouri and the operations should be protected from those who “don’t believe like we believe.” “People don’t have a right to come on to your property and try to destroy your way of life,” he said. Rep. Haden, a veterinarian, said he sponsored the bill because he feels that agricultural facilties are at risk when those with no right or reason to be there show up demanding to make inspections. “Some of these are ‘shower-in, shower-out’ facilities. They don’t have the authority to be there and if they [See PARSON, Page 6]

Titus Kottwitz represented Trenton Middle School Saturday in the preliminary round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Titus misspelled “puchero” (a Latin American boiled dinner or stew containing beef, sausage, bacon and various vegetables) in the first round of the bee, held virtually on Saturday. “He was a gracious competitor and an excellent representative of TMS,” said Charley Crimi, who served as the proctor during the event. Titus, who will be an eighth grader this fall at TMS, earned the right to compete at the national bee after winning the TMS bee and the Northwest Regional Bee. He is the son of Jamie and Nathan Kottwitz.

COVID-19 Update

Grundy County added one case of COVID-19 over the weekend, bringing the total number of cases since the pandemic began to 1,154. Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson said there are currently 28 active cases in the county. She cautioned those who are attending events with a large number of people to take precautions against the virus. The health department will be offering the Moderna vaccine on Monday, June 21. To make an appointment, persons may call the health department at 359-4196.

Peterson Farm Bros Set To Perform Independence Day Celebration Set For July 2 In Trenton The Peterson Farm Bros are coming to town! No, not the Peterson Brothers from Galt - the YouTube sensations from Kansas! The Peterson Farm Bros will headline free events scheduled for Friday, July 2 in downtown Trenton that will be held prior to the fireworks scheduled for that evening at Black Silo Winery. The brothers, which include Greg, Nathan and Kendal, farm together on a fifth-generation farm near Assaria, KS. Their ancestors immigrated from Sweden and homesteaded the land in 1882. In addition to growing a variety of crops, the family raises about 1,000 head of beef cattle at a time. The brothers produce entertaining and educational videos on their YouTube channel and post farming and video updates to their social media accounts. While their goal is to inform people about what they do as farmers and about agriculture in general, they know there are many misconceptions about modern day farmers and agriculture as a whole. The brothers created their first YouTube upload in March 2012 with a video featuring the whole family called “Wheat Harvest on a Real

Family Farm in Kansas.” In May 2012, Greg had an idea to make a parody music video with his brothers to help educate their “city friends” about farming. The video, which was filmed throughout the month of June and posted at the end of the month, was a parody of the pop song “I’m Sexy and I Know It” entitled “I’m Farming and I Know It.” The video went viral on YouTube and received over five million views in over 200 countries in two weeks. Since then,

they’ve continued to make videos, including 18 more parody music videos, and now have over 65 million views on YouTube. The Peterson Farm Bros will perform in a free concert near the Five Points Flag Pole at 7 p.m., with a meet and greet with fans set for 8 p.m. Fireworks at Black Silo Winery are scheduled for around 9:30 p.m. Those planning to attend either event should bring a lawn chair for seating.

COMMUNITY Quilters Make Plans At Meeting

Laredo Carol Wilford The Laredo Lions Club met on Monday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Laredo Community Center. After the group said the pledge of allegiance to the American flag, Dan Wilford had prayer for the meal and the meeting. Rylee Johnson led the group in singing the “Star Spangled Banner”. Members present were Bonna Dittberner, Lewis Griffin, Margaret Chapman, Martha Owen, Dean Smalling, Dan and Carol Wilford, Cassidy Russell and Marvin Burns. Guests were Lions District Governor Harold Spire of Maryville, Sheila Thompson and daughter, Rylee Johnson, Amy Lewis and son, Cooper, Phil and Kristie Fox and daughter, Ada, Tiffany Larson and daughter, Grace, Heather Smith and daughter, Lacy, Jason Eckert, Barbara Watkins, Drew Rorebeck, Cheyenne Beaty and Steve Purcell. Gov. Spire spoke briefly about how Lions reach out to those in need in our own communities as well as worldwide projects. He commended the five high school graduates, Rylee, Cooper, Ada, Grace and Lacy, who are all college bound. Bonna Dittberner presented each of the students with Lions scholarships. During the business meeting, the members discussed having an ice cream fundraiser in July. The next regular Lions Club meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 28 at 6:30. Dan and Carol Wilford

drove to Green City after church services on Sunday, May 30. They ate at Pete’s Place then went to city hall to attend a college graduation reception for one of their church members, Kendra Hall. Kendra graduated from Southwest Baptist University with a nursing degree. She will be a nurse technician at Mercy Hospital in Springfield. Bonna Dittberner spent time with her daughter and son-in-law, Barb and Gary Harbo, at the Harbo’s timeshare lodge in Gull Lake, MN from May 31 to June 4. Bonna’s grandchildren, Mollie Maupin and Luke Dittberner, traveled with her as well as her neighbor, Steve Purcell who helped with the driving. Dan and Carol Wilford drove to Kansas City on Tuesday, June 1, to the home of Donna and Charlie Wilson to attend a graduation reception for their granddaughter, Rosie Wilson. Rosie graduated from Staley High School in Kansas City as well as from Northland Career Center in Platte City. Abigail, Addison and Alyssa Bowe of Maryville spent from Thursday, June 3 to Sunday, June 6 with their grandparents, Charles and Vickie Bowe. Casey, Cayden and Catelin Bowe of Laredo had lunch and visited awhile at Charlie and Vickie’s on Saturday. Vickie went to Sunnyview Nursing Home on June 7 and on June 9 to visit her mother, Jean Hughes.

The Scrappy Quilters met on June 1 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton, with 15 members present when Donna Wilson called the meeting to order. Minutes and the treasurer’s report were approved as presented. Under old business, the group worked on sewing together the last of the “Quilt in A Night” blocks, which is ready for the borders. The group will be doing another “Quilt in A Night” project at the August meeting. These quilts will be used for charity or opportunity quilts when needed. It was reported that Linda Mullins, Susan and Patty delivered the quilt to the members of the VFW during their evening meeting for their fund-raising efforts. Linda said it was very much appreciated. The guild will participate in the Trenton Ice Cream Social on Aug. 10. The event will celebrate the 200th birthday of the state of Missouri. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Rock Barn and the guild will be displaying their charity quilts. It will also be selling tickets on an opportunity quilt to help raise funds for the guild’s activities. The quilt will be given away at a later date to be determined, possibly during the Missouri Day Festival in October. The cost for tickets will be $2 each, 3 for $5 and 6 for $10. A time to hang the quilts will be discussed at

the July meeting. The group will be holding a shop hop, traveling to Newton, IA on Aug. 19 to visit The Crazy Redhead Quilt Shop. There are plans to visit other shops in that area with details to be revealed at the July meeting. A sign-up sheet will be at the July meeting for those wishing to attend. The group will carpool this year. Several upcoming events were discussed for new business, including: the Kansas City Quilt Festival – June 16-19 at the Overland Park Convention Center; Quilting is My Therapy 4th Annual Quilt Walk, June 26 in Liberty; and the AQS Quilt Show in Branson, March 23-26, 2022; AQS Quilt show in Paducah, April 27-30, 2022. Those participating in Share and Tell were Bonnie, Cyndi, Donna, Twyla, Delores, Susan, Dawn and Chris. The next meeting will be on July 6 at the First Baptist Church beginning at 5:30 for the video program, with the meeting following at 6:30 p.m.

happen to bring something in to the facility, it can cost millions of dollars to the producer,” he said. Haden went on to say that there are experts, with specific training and authority, who should be allowed to do their jobs at these facilities, but with bio-security a very real threat, the people who are allowed access should be extremely limited. Outbreaks of disease, he said, are not limited to other countries such as China. Rep. Haden thanked Gov. Parson for signing the bill and 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman, RCosby, praised him for being an advocate for rural Missouri, noting that the governor had just been at Milan to sign a bill to help move the East Locust Creek Reservoir project forward. “He is by far the strongest rural advocate we’ve had,” Sen. Hegeman said. “He gets rural Missouri and he understands the need for infrastructure.” At Milan, Gov. Parson signed a Joint Resolution passed by the General Assembly that enables the state to join with the North

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, center, visited with Mike Deering, left, executive vice president of the Missouri Cattleman’s Association, and Rep. Kent Haden, RMexico, who sponsored HB 574, which limits those who can inspect Missouri agricultural facilities.

Central Missouri Regional Water Commission to service debt on a loan that will pay off open bonds and help fund the local-side match share to complete the East Locust Creek Reservoir. Parson, who has been a supporter of the reservoir project, has directed millions of dollars to the Multi-Purpose Water Resources Fund to assist with matching federal funds from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, which is the federal sponsor of the ELCR. The Joint Resolution

was sponsored by Sen. Hegeman along with Third District State Rep. Danny Busick, R-Newtown, and Eighth District State Rep. Randy Railsback, R-Hamilton. Harvey Rhodes, chairman of the NCMRWC, stated the importance of the resolution to completing the project, which will provide a reliable water source for a 10-county area including Grundy, Sullivan, Mercer, Putnam, Schuyler, Adair, Linn, Livingston, Macon and Chariton counties. “Without this resolution allowing for the state to be a full partner in constructing this regional water supply, I am not sure how the project gets done,” explained Rhodes. “Gov. Parson recognized that early in his administration

and he and his staff worked tirelessly to pass the Joint Resolution. This was a huge step in finalizing our Plan of Finance that will enable the construction and completion of the ELCR.” Sullivan County Presiding Commissioner Chris May recognized Sen. Hegeman and Reps. Busick, Railsback and Rusty Black, R-Chillicothe, for their role in supporting the resolution. Brad Scott, general manager of the NCMRWC, recognized the importance of the governor’s support as well as that of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, calling them “true heroes” in making the reservoir a reality. “This is really the way government should work,” he said. He also said U.S. Sen.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson spoke to a crowd Thursday at NCMC’s Barton Farm Campus. The governor also visited Milan earlier that day to sign a joint resolution that will help move the East Locust Creek Reservoir forward.

Roy Blunt and U.S. Rep. Sam Graves have played an important role on the federal level in moving the project forward. Scott said he hopes the next time the governor is in north Missouri it will be

even more exciting. “The next time we see Gov. Parson in Sullivan County we hope to put a gold shovel in his hand and hard hat on his head,” he said.

Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled in Grundy County attended a Mudcats game at Burleigh Grimes Field on June 9. Tickets were purchased by FFDD at a discount through the Mudcats Organization. Those attending were required to budget money for the event if they wanted food and beverages from the concession stand or merchandise being sold that night. The Mudcats baseball players were great to include the FFDD crowd, and spent time visiting with each of them. Pierce Rash won the 50/50 drawing and an autographed Mudcats hat. There was a lot of excitement at the ballpark and FFDD was glad to be back at the ballpark cheering on the Chillicothe Mudcats!

Juvenile Office Is Topic Of Rotary Program Ryan Williams of the Third Circuit Court Juvenile Office was the speaker at the Thursday, June 10 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was the sergeant at arms. Williams told about his duties with the juvenile office, which he joined in 1999. The office serves the counties of Grundy, Mercer, Harrison and Putnam and works with youth under the age of 17 in two areas – abuse/neglect and delinquency, with the biggest case load in the area of abuse/neglect. The CASA program is also a part of the juvenile office, with volunteers serving as advocates for juveniles involved in the court system. Among the biggest changes he has seen while working in the office is cases involving the use of electronics (computers, phones, etc.) for bullying and sexting. He also talked about the “Raise

the Age” law which, in Missouri, raises the age when an individual can be considered an adult to 18. However, the Third Circuit has kept the age at 17 because when the law was approved, it also included the wording “if funding is available for the law to be implemented” and the state has not provided those funds. During the business meeting, members were told of an opportunity to obtain housing close to the stadium where the College World Series is played in Omaha, NE by donating to the Rotary Foundation. Jim and Martha Goedert offered their condo to members and their families for the donation and information was to be distributed to members. The club will meet on Thursday, June 17 at the BTC Bank community room at noon. Representatives from Green Hills Head Start will present the program.

Ku Klux Klan Ruled Denver A Century Ago; Legacy Still Felt DENVER (AP) — Nora Flaherty saw the cross burning in front of St. Dominic Catholic Church in north Denver and ran to her home a block away to get her husband. He grabbed an ax and helped put the fire out, but the Ku Klux Klan members who constructed the symbol of hate already had fled, as Dennis Gallagher tells the story that’s been passed down by his family. Like other longtime Denver families, dealing with the Ku Klux Klan’s one-time dominance of the city has been a generational problem for Gallagher and his kin. His father was bullied by self-identified Klansmen about being an Irish Catholic when he joined the Denver Fire Department in 1938. In 1970, Gallagher was knocking on doors as a candidate for the Colorado House of Representatives and met a man who said he was a member of the Klan and thus would never vote for an Irish Catholic. “There’s never been an apology for what the Klan did,” said Gallagher, professor emeritus at Regis University, former city auditor, city councilman, state

senator and state representative. “I think that has affected the city for generations.” Ripple effects of the Klan’s takeover of Denver’s power structures over the course of just a few years in the mid-1920s are still felt, especially after the release by History Colorado this spring of digital copies of the Klan’s membership ledgers from that time period. The more than 30,000 names in the documents include those of the men the Klan’s political machine installed as Colorado’s governor, Denver’s mayor and police chief, judges, state senators and representatives. But the ledgers also show how pervasive the Klan was in day-to-day life, where the people they persecuted and intimidated would encounter them. The membership rolls show Klansmen worked at banks, pie companies, railroads, grocery stores, pharmacies, the zoo, the parks, the post office, cab companies, cafes, the stockyard, the city jail, the courthouse, laundry businesses, cab companies and this newspaper. They also worked at Denver landmarks, like Elitch Gardens, the Brown Palace Hotel, Union Station and Lakeside Amusement Park. Those targeted and demonized by the Klan — Blacks, Latinos, Catholics,

Jews, immigrants of any kind — lived in fear, said Robert Goldberg, a history professor at the University of Utah and author of “Hooded Empire: The Ku Klux Klan in Colorado.” They knew the Klan was pervasive and that many parts of the government charged with protecting them were actively involved in the white supremacist organization. “They were made to be second-class citizens in their home,” Goldberg said. “Their neighbors were either active antagonists or passive bystanders to their pain.” The stories of that pain and resistance to the Klan have passed down through the generations of families who have lived in Denver over the past 100 years. The work, too, of pushing back against the Klan’s legacy continues as new groups form to espouse the KKK’s brand of white supremacy and public spaces still bear KKK members’ names. Many iterations of the Klan and similar groups have appeared in Colorado and the U.S. since the Reconstruction era, Jared Orsi, a professor of history at Colorado State University, said during a recent History Colorado event. Although they do not always have the same stated goals or organization, there is a common thread through

them all. “It’s an episodic phenomenon,” Orsi said. “It’s a periodic welling up of deep and dark waters in the American soul. In that darkness lurks a very narrow and excluding definition of who is an American, and a suspicion and fear — even a hatred — of anyone who seems to lie outside of that definition.” The KKK metastasizes Denver was supposed to be a better, safer city in the 1920s. Leaders from the prior decade promised to clean up crime, end corruption and eliminate drinking. Nationally, World War I was supposed to be the war to end all wars. “And it all flopped,” Denver historian Phil Goodstein said. “There is this extreme anxiety, especially in Denver, that something just isn’t right.” It was also a time when Black people in Denver were moving into white neighborhoods and the city’s immigrant population was growing, including Jewish and Catholic communities. These changes made the white, AngloSaxon Protestants who had long held power in the city nervous, Goodstein said. Enter the KKK The Klan of the 1920s was distinct in some ways from the organization that terrorized the South in the 1860s after the Civil War and was responsible for

lynching hundreds and suppressing the Black vote. This Klan largely disappeared from the public view by the 1870s. The second wave of the Klan, which began in 1915 under new leaders, was inspired in part by the movie “The Birth of a Nation,” which glorified the Reconstruction-era Klan’s actions and falsely recast the terrorist organization as a patriotic defender of law and order. While still fervent believers in white supremacy, the second iteration of the KKK expanded its targets to include Catholics, Jews and immigrants of any kind. The new Klan also was far more organized. “The Klan had a cafeteria of appeals,” Goldberg said. “They would go into a community and find out what the problem was and how they could sell themselves to that community.” In Denver, the white Protestant majority saw public safety, bootlegging and immigration as the problem. People joined the Klan for a range of reasons, Goodstein said. Political opportunists from both parties wanted to use membership to their political advantage. Others wanted to be a part of a quasi-secret society and relished the ritualism and feeling of participating in something with a “patriotic aura,” he said.

“They realized that those with great power and fortunes received an inordinate share of society’s honors while most politicians were bought puppets of the ruling elite,” Goodstein wrote in his book, “In the Shadow of the Klan.” “But they never questioned the essential setup. On the contrary, they turned their wrath on those who sought equality with them. An intense patriotism and religiosity filled voids in their social and psychic makeups.” Denver’s Klan began secretly in well-connected circles but soon went public and spread to thousands of middle-class households, Goldberg said. Workingclass neighborhoods tended to have higher membership rates because those people were more likely to live near or work with immigrants, Jews, Catholics and Blacks, said Tom Noel, director of Public History, Preservation & Colorado Studies at the University of Colorado Denver during a discussion hosted by History Colorado. Although the Klan sometimes painted itself as a volunteer and social organization, its exclusionary and white supremacist ideals were plainly iterated in its writings. The “Creed of the Ku Klux Klan,” as printed on Jan. 31, 1925, in the Boulder KKK publication The Rocky Mountain American, states that one of the organization’s core principles was “white supremacy” and “limitation of foreign immigration.”

DOWN 1 Unexpected difficulty 2 Part of the neck

Dear Readers: My daughter is the co-owner of a salon in Florida. All the folks there work extremely hard trying to make a living. Here is the problem: Let's say "Karen" books a hair color treatment that requires three hours to complete on a Thursday. That time frame is now blocked off on the schedule. On Wednesday, Karen is contacted to verify she will be in to receive her color treatment, and she verifies. As the time approaches Karen's appointment, several folks walk into the salon to request a service but are denied because the time has been allotted to Karen. Karen is 10 minutes late and then 20 minutes late and then 30 minutes late. The salon then calls Karen to make sure she has not run into a ditch. Karen says: "Oh, I forgot all about it. I'll have to reschedule." Apparently, these no-shows have no concept that they have not only cost the salon three hours of productivity but also denied service to many walk-ins. In some cases, folks who cannot make their appointment have the courtesy to call and inform the salon so

the time allotted for their service can be filled. Would Karen just blow off an appointment with her doctor or dentist? Folks have to come to the realization that salon owners and employees have careers that have always catered to the customer. Customers also have to understand that they have a responsibility to the salon to either uphold their commitment and show up when scheduled or have the decency to call and cancel their appointment in a timely fashion so the salon can fill the time. The "I forgot" excuse is bogus. Remember, the owners and employees are trying to earn a living while providing the best service possible. Do you have any suggestions to make it easier to address these Karen moments? -Customer Etiquette Dear Customer Etiquette: Yes, to answer your question, I think that Karen could also blow off a doctor or dentist appointment. It is not a personal attack on your daughter; it is a personality flaw of Karen's, in that she didn't learn about consideration for others.

In order to deter people from forgetting about appointments, your daughter could install a cancellation policy. Many businesses have them, including doctors and dentists. She could also look into an automatic email reminder for customers, with a note stating the salon's cancellation policy. Dear Annie: I just read the letter from "Finally Crawled Out of the Bottle," who wrote in response to "Outside the Bottle Looking In." I want both of those writers to know that they have someone praying for them who they will never meet. My husband gave me, and our children, the gift of his sobriety 15 years ago. We were so blessed that he recognized what was happening to him, even before I did. I know his Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and the people he came to know through them, made all the difference. I hope "Finally Crawled Out of the Bottle" can feel me, and I'm sure many others, lifting her up and rejoicing with her in her sobriety. -- Someone Who Cares Dear Someone Who Cares: Thank you for your heartfelt letter. Your gratitude toward your husband, and the gift he gave you, is simply beautiful.

Tracking Europe’s recovery Europe is moving again. Literally. That’s the word from Oxford Economics and their recovery tracker index, which at 78.5 has reached its highest level since the pandemic began. Mobility data from smartphones and air travel show that more normal levels of movement are resuming as COVID-19 cases and restrictions fall away. It suggests the recovery is entering a “new, faster phase.” The tracker is a blend of up-to-date information that runs well ahead of quarterly growth figures: restaurant reservations, trucker tolls, job postings, and of course

COVID-19 cases. The upturn can’t come soon enough after the 19 eurozone countries endured a first quarter to forget. GDP shrank 0.3% in the first three months of the year as vaccinations lagged. Going forward, growth could even overtake the Oxford forecast of 4.3% for all of this year. But beware: “any lapse in virus containment” could undermine the rebound. And supply bottlenecks may hold back manufacturing for a while yet. But for the companies in the services sector, as well as their employees and investors, significant relief appears to be on the way.

Flag Day was observed in Trenton on Monday with members of the Trenton Kiwanis Club and the Trenton Rotary Club putting up the traditional flag display at the Grundy County Courthouse. Those pictured are, from left, Rick Klinginsmith, Kim Washburn and Michael Ormsby. Members of the Kiwanis Club reached out to other civic organizations recently for assistance in placing the flags at the courthouse on patriotic holidays and will also be seeking donations as they replace the flags, many of which are casket flags and all of which represent a Grundy County veteran. Those interested in helping put up or take down the flags or who would like to make a donation toward flag replacement can contact Kara Helmandollar at 359-5966.
