Those attending in person were City Administrator Ron Urton, Utility Committee Chairman Duane Urich along with Brad Griffin, Steve Reid, Kenny Ricketts and Bob Hutchinson. Mayor Linda Crooks joined via Zoom.

Each department gave a report on current projects along with the administrator’s report. City Administrator Ron Urton reported that the 21-inch sewer lining project is moving forward with the line being cleaned and videoed. Next week training will be provided for the inspections on the line. In regards to the ARPA grant money, the city had to pro-

vide DNR with an engineering report on the design of the project. Urton also reported that revenues for electric are in the red this month as purchase power costs are rising.

Water plant supervisor Steve Reid reported that mowing is being done and a Co2 tank is still leaking as they are waiting on valves to come in from the supplier. He also reported that chemical costs continue to rise, some items are taking longer to arrive due to trucking and fuel surcharges have almost doubled.

Hoover Foundation Pledges Gift for NCMC Student Center The North Central Missouri College Foundation is the recipient of a $400,000 pledge from the Bert & Rose Hoover Foundation, which will be used by the college to develop the new student center on the Trenton campus in the Transforming Lives, Empowering People campaign.

The late Rose Hoover developed the Hoover Foundation for the purpose of making charitable contributions in Grundy County. Upon her death in 1993, Mrs. Hoover stated in a letter to the board of the Hoover Foundation, “Imagine a community which lives not only into the next generation – but an endless promise of growth into the future.” This recent pledge by the Hoover Foundation Board will help NCMC develop a new student center that will serve as a hub for student activities on campus. The student center will serve as a place for students to spend time outside the classroom, socialize, and create memorable experiences for residential students and those who commute to the Trenton campus. In addition to a commons area, the student center will house a new location for the NCMC Book Store and campus dining services.

Longtime contributors to NCMC, the

Rose enrolled in Trenton Junior College/NCMC following her graduation from Trenton High School in 1930. She received an associate in arts degree before returning for one more year to complete a teaching certificate. Soon afterward, she [See Hoovers, Page 2]

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension MISSOURI 4-H CAMP

by Chelsea Corkins, County Engagement Specialist in 4-H Youth Development With locations held across Missouri, 4-H camp can be as unique as the range of counties within our state. But the similarities are boundless as well. Youth coming together in the great outdoors to learn about a variety of fun, engaging topics.

These have included woodworking, electricity, leathercraft, rockets, foods, natural resources, archery, swimming, art, and so much more. Campers, generally ages 8 to 12 or 13, also learn to take responsibility for their actions, meet new friends, and engage with different environments such as overnight cabins, lunch mess halls, and teen counselors.

When that final campfire happens, campers themselves often realize the change they have seen throughout the past 3 to 4 days.

For our counselors, usually ages 14-18, the experience shifts slightly as they develop skills such as responsibility, adaptability, creativity, and empathy. As counselors, they will help guide the campers not only

physically from location to location, but assist in youth development needs that might include homesickness, engagement during sessions, and unity within their cabin. This type of experience ultimately bonds camp counselors from beyond county lines as they too grow throughout their 4-H camp together.

For 4-H staff, camp can be a highlight of the entire year. As often heard, summer is our busiest time, but you will seldom find a Missouri 4-H worker who doesn’t prefer the summer activities over the monotonous computer related parts of the job. 4-H staff invest time, knowledge, and passion into 4-H Camp, all so every youth and volunteers can feel valued, safe, and prepared. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy having camp songs stuck in their heads for multiple weeks after?

Would you, or someone you know, want to join Missouri 4-H? Contact your county Extension Office soon to start enrollment for any 5-18 year-old youth. Enrollment starts in October, but there are plenty of 4-H activities to observe before then!

Missouri Electric Co-op Youth Program Means Education and Fun Kayden Jones of Bethany and Serenity Marsh of Trenton were among the ninety-five high school students from across Missouri who participated in the Missouri Electric Cooperative CYCLE (Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience) program. The conference was held July 13-15, 2022 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Jefferson City. They were sponsored by Grundy Electric Cooperative, Trenton.

Each year in July, this action-filled three days provides high school students opportunities to learn first-hand what it is like to be involved in politics, the cooperative form of business and being a leader. The program included nationally known speakers and time at the Missouri State Capitol learning how a bill goes through the process to become a law. To learn more about electric cooperatives, the group was divided up into teams that competed in various events like the “build a cooperative” game. Another highlight was hearing from the Rachel’s Challenge Organization. Rachel’s family and friends speak to youth around the world about Rachel’s legacy of being a positive role model to everyone she met in life.

Students also toured the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City, MO and saw a live powerline demonstration as well as several electric vehicles at the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperative headquarters.

Weekly Feature on Indiviuals or Organizations in our Area

Friends and Family of the Developmentally Disabled

by Kristi Harris R-T Correspondent Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled of Grundy County-Senate Bill 40 (FFDD) is a tax-based entity based out of the Grundy County Courthouse. The mission of FFDD in Grundy County is to meet the service and support needs of Grundy County citizens with developmental disabilities cost-effectively. FFDD works with several different organizations and departments at the local and state level to assist with providing resources and referrals when needed. It is very important to FFDD that individuals in Grundy County are given the opportunity to work, contribute and experience activities with support if needed within the community in which they live. “FFDD supports and promotes a better understanding of individuals with developmental disabilities and their lifestyle choices which are the same as everyone else’s, but sometimes look different from our own,” said Kayla GrahamFFDD Executive Director. “Focusing on the person and not the disability is very important.” Established in 1992, FFDD is coming up on the 30th anniversary of Grundy County residents’ vote on the tax levy that was the start of FFDD. FFDD allows individuals to grow within themselves. They are providing opportunities to build skills through vocational/educational activities, shelter workshop placements, networking, and building friendships with others in their community. A testimony from a caregiver of one of the individuals FFDD is fortunate to work with and assist wrote: “My sister had spent 15 years listening to books on tape and reading braille magazines awaiting visits from friends or family. People are busy, so as a result, very few people stopped by. Her world was very small. By accessing the activities and work available with the assistance/support of FFDD, she could experience a much larger life with friends. It has been wonderful to see her blossom on her own.” FFDD tries to meet individual support needs, such as providing transportation to and from Hope Haven in Chillicothe, MO. This allows individuals in the community to be employed, earn a wage, and gain hands-on experience. FFDD works closely with New Horizons from Chillicothe, which provides target case management for Grundy County residents that qualify. Many referrals are made back and forth, and assistance is given to support individuals with disabilities with their day-to-day needs. FFDD has a 16-passenger minibus and a six-passenger minivan for transporting individuals five days a week to Hope Haven in Chillicothe, MO. Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled work with individuals that meet the guidelines for RSMO 205.968 and/or RSMO 630.005 and residents of Grundy County. FFDD is not Trenton only; they serve individuals within Grundy County.

There is funding available to developmentally disabled individuals that are not active participants in the group yet have a need. All they need to do is inquire on how to request funds to help meet those needs. The

FFDD board reviews all funding requests to ensure that the need has met requirements set forth in the funding policy.

“My favorite thing about FFDD is being able to build relationships with each and every person that is part of FFDD,” said Kayla. “I absolutely love being with a group of individuals who enjoy things that others often overlook. All of our friends have so many talents, skills, and abilities. I love trying to find opportunities for them to learn new skills, build new relationships, and most importantly, have fun while learning and experiencing.

I love how the community is so supportive and always willing to help when needed. Families and volunteers step up to help when needed, which in turn provides a great experience for everyone.

Several volunteers help at about every activity. Whether it is behind the scenes, getting stuff ready, and /or helping the activity day. Many of the volunteers have ties to FFDD by either being a family member, board member, close friend or have been associated with another organization or group in the community that supports FFDD. Those that are part of FFDD are one big family.”

Recently, FFDD started the “Walk Against Hunger” fundraising campaign benefiting Bright Futures Trenton and Backpack Buddies-Grundy County.

“Friends that participate with FFDD have big hearts and great ideas. It was very important to me that they work together to plan, organize and follow through with a community event,” said Kayla. In 2021, Kayla brought the idea to the FFDD group and wanted feedback if this was something they wanted to participate in. With the help of Cara McClellan taking the idea to Bright Futures, Ginny Wikoff welcoming the idea for Backpack Buddies, and Bright Futures volunteers being excited to help, that was the start of “Walk Against Hunger.” The night of the event, FFDD volunteers, families, friends, Bright Futures volunteers, Food Pantry volunteers, and the local community came together to support their fundraising efforts. The event was held at CF Russell stadium, where those in attendance walked the track throughout the hour. Dave Burkeybile provided music and kept the evening fun. The FFDD friends collected money in their backpacks and, at the end of the night, were able to give two nice donations to two community groups that benefit families in the community. Some of FFDD friends were able to benefit from services like Backpack Buddies and Bright Futures when they were younger. Many of them understand the importance of giving back and helping when they can.

They were also able to see firsthand how giving back benefits others. The FFDD group was asked to help prepare school supplies for the Back-to-School night through Bright Futures; they were able to fill bags with needed supplies and see how their donation of time and effort is a true benefit. While planning for upcoming events for 2022, FFDD participants all agreed they wanted to do the walk again.

This year they brainstormed other ways to promote the fundraiser, which included an open line on

FFDD Members Visit Grundy County EMS Facility KTTN, placing flyers throughout the community, and taking flyers to their churches to share with their church families. The Walk Against Hunger is a fundraiser that they are very proud of and take pride in helping out.

In 2021 and again in 2022, FFDD volunteered their time at the local ball fields running a concession stand. Kayla spoke with Green Hills Recreational Association about helping and agreed to a specific night each week they would help. FFDD friends and volunteers ran the concession stand, providing customer service, money handling, taking orders, and working together as a team. FFDD friends enjoyed visFFDD Members Work at Hope Haven iting with customers and really enjoyed watching the ballgames that were taking place. “It is essential for our FFDD friends to be a part of and enjoy working with others in the community where they live,” said Kayla. “They all have such big hearts and unlimited abilities when given the opportunity to be part of something bigger.”

FFDD also supports Camp Rainbow which provides opportunities for FFDD friends to have a camping experience.

Dear Annie: Last weekend, my beloved sister died from Alzheimer's after a very long, difficult and painful decline. I was her sole caretaker for the past three years because my other sisters live too far away to help. I was with my sister up until the moment she died, working with hospice to try to make it easier for her and communicating her passing to my other sisters, who also loved her very much.

Now my other sisters and I have decided we would like to hold a memorial service for her back in our hometown, where her ashes can be buried with my parents. However, one of my other sisters and I differ on the timing, and we have gotten into a horrible fight over it.

She wants to wait a full year to have a service on my sister's birthday on

June 25, 2023, because it's easier and less expensive for her family to attend. I think that's too late. I think people, including her dear friends back in our home state, will have moved on by then. I think people will wonder why we haven't done anything for her.

Plus, I have been grieving her for three years, as she lost the ability to talk and walk and then finally ceased recognizing me, and I need closure. I have told my sister I am open to having the service anytime in the next six months, and I can help pay her airfare if she can't afford a ticket right now. I think her position is unreasonable. -Still Grieving Dear Still Grieving: I agree. She is being unreasonable.

serve closure in order to honor your sister's memory. You have been the caretaker, and you make many good points about why you need a memorial soon.

However, I would suggest that you try to accommodate your other sister by having two ceremonies.

Plan a service now, for sure, and then work with her to plan a memorial on June 25, 2023, honoring her birthday and the oneyear anniversary of her passing.

Point out to your sister that the memorial a year from now is something you can work together in planning and organizing, so you both make sure that this issue doesn't drive a wedge between you and your sisters; you need one another now more than ever.

SEC action could aid shareholders

From January through June this year, shareholders submitted 868 proposals involving U.S. companies, up from 802 in the same period last year, according to the law firm Gibson Dunn.

Companies often mount cases against shareholder proposals and fight them in court.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the leading business lobby, complained that the new SEC action shows that the agency “is pursuing a politically motivated agenda that endangers the competitiveness of our public capital markets.” The chamber said it will consider going to court to block it.

Shareholders who would like to influence the behavior of corporations on issues ranging from executive pay to political spending to gender discrimination may find it easier to do so.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed changes that would strengthen the influence of individuals, public pension funds and social investment funds. And it eased some requirements for proxy advice firms to issue voting recommendations to shareholders.

During the Trump administration, some changes by the SEC had made it harder for investors to influence companies.

OP/ED FIVE POINTS WENDELL LENHART

KUDOS TO THE TRENTON PARK BOARD

Although we’ve had a recent cool spell, for the most part it has really been a hot summer with most of the two hottest months occurring right now.

During some of the hottest days I had the opportunity to drive by the Trenton Family Aquatic Center and see the large crowds of swimmers taking advantage of the cooling water recreation which it offers. I haven’t seen any attendance figures for this year, but it seems to me that there are more people using it than in the last few years.

Several pools in the area were unable to open this summer because of a shortage of available lifeguards and that has undoubtedly helped attendance at the TFAC. It also helps bring people into the community to spend money at local businesses, which is good for us.

Thank you to the members of the Trenton Park Board for being able to secure enough lifeguards to keep the TFAC open this long, hot summer.

It’s good for Trenton and the surrounding area. ****************************************** As everyone knows, gas prices are at an alltime record high. I have read several articles about it recently, but one in particular made some really good points.

Because of the open market, no government, company, or person is really able to set the price of gas.

The biggest factor in the price of gas, of course, is the price of crude oil. That price has been on a tear for over a year now, almost double from what it was a year ago.

The price collapsed during the recession caused by Covid-19 which caused OPEC and many energy companies to make cuts to the supply. Since then, demand has come roaring back and the economy sprung back to life, but oil output has been slower to recover. Many refineries closed during the slump of the pandemic which means bigger profit margins for those that remain, now that demand is so strong.

It’s easy to point the finger of blame at the oil companies, but it really is a case of supply and demand. And until the supply increases or the demand lessens, we’re going to have high gas prices. ****************************************** The biggest piece of fake news going around today is that inflation is running from 7 to 8 percent.

There are three factors combining to create a great opportunity for a recession, or worse: 1) Inflation is out of control and there is no real end in sight.

2) Interest rates will have to be raised higher and more often in order to combat inflation.

3) China’s zero-tolerance policy with Covid19 has kept hundreds of millions of Chinese workers at home and off their jobs. They were unable to make the goods that we need in order to keep our economy running. The effect of not having those goods will become apparent in the next six months and it will determine what happens next to our economy.

“Highlights With Hegeman”

Helping Families in Time of Crisis

Dan Hegeman Senator We are still learning lessons from the COVID19 pandemic. In life, part of learning includes how not to do things. Sometimes, learning from one’s mistakes can be the best way to learn how to move forward.

House Bill 2116 was signed into law on June 30. This legislation is

better-known as the “No Patient Left Behind Act.” This new law allows patients or residents in licensed health care facilities to have in-person contact with a compassionate care visitor throughout the duration of their stay. We saw a lot of hospitals restrict visitors over the past two years, especially during the first year of the pandemic. Unfortunately, this meant loved ones being forbidden from seeing someone a final time before their death.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating for those with loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals who have had to suffer through their

ailments by themselves.

In signing this bill, the governor has committed to helping the Legislature further-protect patients’ rights and ensure they always have the support they need. This new law also permits compassionate care visitations to help meet the physical, emotional, mental and social needs of the resident or patient in the health care facility.

The Missouri General Assembly had to walk a fine line to craft this legislation. Hospitals and nursing homes need to be able to accomplish their regular tasks without hindrance. At the same time, a lot of us in the Legislature heard from our con-

stituents, who told us to eliminate the barriers that kept them from being with loved ones during difficult times. I believe HB 2116 struck the necessary balance that gives health care facilities the flexibility they need while allowing people the freedom they need to move through their lives, in bad times as well as good.

As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 7511415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo .gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Coffee With a Cop Held July 14

R-T Photos/Amy Morton

The Trenton Police Department held their “Coffee With a Cop” on Thursday, July 14 at Java & Hooch. Officer Bryan Roberts, Animal Control Officer Les Spickard, Sgt.

Gallatin City Council Accepts Bids and Ordinances The Gallatin City Council met on July 11 at the GIDA board room. Those present were: Mayor Barbara Ballew, Board President Dan McCann, Aldermen Dan Lockridge, Carl McBee, Steven Evans, City Administrator Lance Rains, City Clerk Hattie Rains, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chaplain Austin Bonnett and Brock Goehl with DA Davidson. Mayor Ballew called the meeting to order, minutes, accounts payable and transfers were approved.

Brock Goehl with DA Davidson presented a grant match funding option for street project. The lease purchase agreement would be with Farmers Bank and Trust in the amount of $508,000 at an interest rate of 3.379 percent for 4.5 years. The board wanted more time to consider a longer term thus reduc

ing the annual payment for the city.

The board is considering a contract with the Daviess County Sheriffs Department for police coverage within the city limits of Gallatin. The board has requested Rains to contact the Daviess County Sheriffs Office to discuss the likelihood of code/ordinance violation enforcement within the city. He will also contact Green Hills RPC about ordinance enforcement options.

Public Works Director Mark Morey announced the street department plans to do chip and seal work in the next couple of weeks. The electric department had two power outages caused from a blown transformer and a fuse that blew in the same area.

Morey highlighted to the board again the need for the sewer plant aeration basin to be up-

graded mechanically. Crews are installing one of the old blowers with no guarantee of how long it will work. The board agreed for Morey to start collecting bids for blowers and remodeling bids for the old fire station particularly for the ceiling replacement.

In old business, Rains requested input if the board was interested in listing the Cupola Building for sale by local real estate agents. The board requested Rains to research a possible funding souce for the remaining roof repairs of the building. No decision was made on listing the property for sale.

In new business, the board reviewed and approved the 2022 Semi-Annual Financial Review. Bills and ordinances were presented and approved.

Bid openings for engineers for the lead/copper survey and

wastewater grants were opened.

Allstate Consultants were approved for both as they are familiar with Gallatin and the wastewater system.

Allan Lunsford submitted his resignation letter from the Planning and Zoning board. Mayor Ballew thanked Allan for his 26 years of services on the board.

Any residents interested in possibly being on the Planning and Zoning board may contact City Hall. The board decided to stop the transfer of the Sales and Use Tax to the Sales Tax savings account at this time.

Rains will be sending in the three separate grant applications. The Lead/Copper Survey grant application is for $202,200. The Wastewater Grant application for $3,033,000 is to help sleave the current wastewater collection system which will reduce the

infiltration of rainwater into wastewater and help Gallatin comply with the MoDNR regulations. The Water Grant application for $5,055,000 will be used to replace original water lines installed in the late 1890’s as well as problematic lines. It will help with water loss, overtime spent on water leaks, increase fire protection ratings and replace antique main valves.

The total project costs for all three is $8,290,200. If successful for all three applications MoDNR ARPA will be providing $8,200,000 and Gallatin’s cash match would be $90,200.

Mayor Ballew thanked the board on behalf of the Davies County Nursing Home for the approval of the special use permit for the fireworks display.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for July 25.

PUBLIC NOTICES

“because the people must know” (Editor’s Note: Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices.

From that inauspicious beginning to the complex publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.)

Harrison County All Star Baseball Teams Are District Champs

The Trenton Rotary Club was recognized for its participation in the Rotary Foundation Program during its club meeting on July 21, including being named the top district club in per member giving to the foundation. Pictured are, from left, local Rotary Foundaiton Chairman Don Purkapile, Erik McGuire of the St. Joseph Rotary East Club, Trenton Rotary Club President Michael Ormbsy and Past District 6040 Governor Don Gladhart.

Trenton Rotary Recognized For Service The Trenton Rotary Club was honored for its participation in the Rotary Foundation during the Thursday, July 14 meeting held at the BTC Bank community room.

Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting, Joe MacDonald gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was the sergeant at arms. Steve Taylor was the program chairman.

Don Gladhart and Erik McGuire of the St. Joseph East Rotary Club attended the meeting and presented the Trenton club with flags recognizing its contributions during the 2020-21 year. Gladhart, who served as the Rotary District 6040 Governor in 20-21, announced that Trenton was the top club in the district in annual giving to the foundation and was the only club to average over $400 per member.

The club was also recognized as having 100 percent participation in foundation giving as 100 percent participation in the Every Rotarian Every Year Program. The club is also listed as a 100 percent Paul Harris Fellow Club, meaning all members have been recognized with at least one Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of their

participation in the foundation.

McGuire who is the district governor nominee for the 2023-24 year, presented the program during the meeting, telling about the Rotary Foundation and how contributions benefit many projects around the world. The Trenton Club has benefitted from the foundation through grants it has received to help build a storage/washer-dryer area for the Bright Futures Trenton program and the purchase and installation of handicap-accessible playground equipment at Eastside Park.

The Trenton club holds a fish fry each year to raise funds that are donated to the Rotary Foundation along with contributions received from individual members.

During a board meeting held prior to the regular club meeting, approval was given to make a donation to the Downtown Trenton chalk art event on Aug 27, if held.

The program for the July 21 meeting will be presented by Chamber of Commerce President Debbie Carman, who will give an update on upcoming activities.

Spickard Board of Alderman Discuss Rate Study The Spickard Board of Alderman met on Monday, July 11 at Spickard City Hall. Mayor Alan Tharp called the meeting to order with the agenda, minutes and bills approved.

Recommendations for a rate study were discussed.

Water rates are adequate at this time, however the city needs to put away $10,000 a year in order to paint the water tower in the future.

The minimum sewer charge should be $19 with rates being raised 50 cents

per 1000 gallons. Based on the Equivalent Dwelling Units, apartments would be charged $30 for water and $19 for sewer per apartment. The minimum charge would include 16,000 gallons of use which is 1,000 gallons for each apartment.

A public hearing for the change of sewer rates will be held at 6 p.m. on August 8 at City Hall.

The special road district has requested that the city pass the city’s motor fuel tax revenue to the district

as had been done in the past. The city has declined to do that at this time as it would likely cause the general revenue fund to operate at a loss.

A motion was made and approved to match $3,000 for water and sewer grants and $2,100 on lead and service lines.

The meeting was adjourned with the next meeting set for August 8.
