Mayor Linda Crooks, City Administrator Ron Urton and Councilman Robert Romesburg joined via Zoom. Mayor Crooks called the meeting to order. The minutes and bills were approved. An ordinance authorizing the city to participate in the Missouri Firefighters Critical Illness Trust and Pool was approved. An ordinance amending the city’s prohibited parking code was approved. The city had a request from a property owner regarding why there was no parking on both sides of Laclede Street near 12th Street.

Drug Policy for the City of Trenton Personnel was approved as presented at the last meeting. There were no changes given to Urton or Walker after council members had a chance to review it. The council agreed to purchase transformers per a Volume Committment Agreement from Arkansas Electric. This agreement would allow the utility commission to purchase a set number of transformers at a set price with a guaranteed delivery time. The council agreed this is a better option than ordering as needed. This would allow the city to have transformers on hand and not have to wait possibly weeks or months due to production and delivery delays. An ordinance will be presented to be signed at the next meeting so the transformers can be ordered. Police Chief Rex Ross presented information on the purchase of a new police car. The car would replace a current 2014 vehicle with over 114,348 miles and over $2,000 in maintenance. There is currently $29,150 budgeted for a new car, which was the same as last year. Ross is requesting approval to increase that budget to $35,000 if needed as the price of vehicles may be [See Council, Page 2]

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension NATIVE TREES AND PLANTS by Kathi Mecham Field Specialist in Horticulture, MU Extension Planting native species is gaining in popularity and I often receive questions inquiring about the best native trees to plant and what are the best native plants to encourage pollinators. While this is a broad topic, there are some general ways to get started. During the heat of summer is a good time to make plans for what to plant in the fall or next spring. It may seem too early but there are many things to consider, and early planning is one key to success. “Right plant, right place,” is a phrase used in the horticulture world and is important when deciding what and where to plant. To help with this, look at the space you have, consider the needs of the tree and how the trees will be used. Will they be used as a windbreak, or for erosion control? Maybe ornamental beauty and shade are needed. Or is the goal providing food and cover for wildlife? Whatever the reason, there are some primary considerations. 1. Hardiness. The USDA Hardiness Zone map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The wrong location can cause damage, decline or death to trees or other plants. Use this map to determine the hardiness zone you are in. 2. Light. Trees vary in light preference. Knowing the light requirement makes a difference in the health of the plants. 3. Moisture. Plants also vary in moisture requirements. Some do not tolerate “wet feet” or too much soil moisture. Knowing what they prefer can save time, money, and the health of the tree. 4. Size and Habit. Depending on the size of the yard, you may choose a large native tree. These include the Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), White Oak (Quercus alba), Sycamore (Quercus alba), or Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). These trees need a large space to flourish and grow. They all come with pros and cons and should be researched to fit personal needs. Smaller native trees to consider include American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), Red Buckeye (Aesculus pavia), or Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida). There are many other native trees to consider. They range from very large to medium to shrublike. 5. Placement. Consider how large the tree and other plants will grow. Plant them away from home or building walls and away from doors and gutters. Give them the space they need to thrive. 6. Soil Test. Knowing
the soil pH and if the soil needs any amendments is important. Some plants are particular and have certain requirements. It’s easier to amend the soil before planting than after. You can get information on soil testing from your local Extension office. 7. Planting. Many trees are best planted in fall but there are some species that do better when planted in spring. Red maple, flowering dogwood, birch, and hawthorn are a few that are better planted in spring. Properly planting a tree is critical. The University of Missouri has publications that provide step by step directions on planting and pruning trees. This may seem like a lot of work but it is worth it to have beautiful healthy trees. Planting a tree is a rewarding experience that can include the entire family. It is something to treasure and enjoy for years to come. Taking the steps to make the experience and the tree successful is worth the time and energy. Native trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and grasses are all used to encourage pollinators to the yard. Grow Native is the native plant marketing and education program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation. They offer top-10 lists for pollinators. This includes top ten native plants to support bees in spring, top ten native plants for butterflies and top ten native plants for winter pollinators and many other top ten plant lists. They also provide landscape designs of native plantings to help you get started with butterfly gardens, rain gardens, gardens to attract birds and several other pollinator garden design plans. The University of Missouri Extension website has publications on the benefits of planting to encourage pollinators. Missouri has many beautiful native trees and plants to consider. They are unique and offer features that nonnatives plants don’t. Planting native species helps to encourage pollinators but it also protects our woods and forests. Non-native species such as the Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), burning bush (Euonymus alatus), bush honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), and wintercreeper (Euonymus fortune) are aggressive and choke out native species leaving them struggling to survive. When aggressive non-native plants are used in the landscape, birds and wind disperse the seed and the non-natives can take over our beautiful dogwoods, redbuds and abundance of native wildflowers. Some plants also spread vegetatively making some species very hard to control. Please contact me with questions about planting native species, identifying and removal practices for non-native species or any other horticulture topic at mechamk@missouri.edu or 660-542-1792.

George Rentfrow
continued his working years in endeavors that helped others – teaching, coaching, counseling, and founding and leading a small business in the Kansas City area. A devoted husband and father, George worked diligently to become a man of many talents, as throughout his life he enjoyed playing golf, playing the guitar, learning the art of watercolor painting, and fixing whatever needed to be fixed around the house or at the office.
While George always worked hard to do his best, he never took himself too seriously. He was known for his kind, outgoing personality and his sense of humor, quickly becoming a favorite amongst the ICU nurses at the hospital where he spent his final days. He frequently caught those around him off guard with his quick wit, and always seemed to have the right words at the right time for any situation. A visitation will be held at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th Street S, Independence, MO at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, 2022, followed by a service at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the First United Methodist Church of Blue Springs or the First Tee of Greater Kansas City. Arrangements are under the direction of Speaks Suburban Chapel, 816373-3600.

OP/ED FIVE POINTS WENDELL LENHART
BUSY WEEK FOR TRENTON It’s going to be a busy week in Trenton during the first week in August. Not only will the annual North Central Missouri Fair be in full swing, the Mid-America Music Festival will be held on the weekend. Activities for the NCM Fair will begin the weekend before with ATV and dirt bike races on Friday evening and Tuff Trucks on Saturday evening, July 29 and July 30 respectively. The annual fair parade will be the evening of Tuesday, August 2 and livestock judging and shows will be held the rest of the week from Wednesday through Sunday. Maybe the most exciting news is that the carnival will return to the fairgrounds this year after an absence caused by scheduling conflicts associated with Covid-19. The Mid-America Music Festival returns this year in August instead of late July as was the case in the past. With some more big-name attractions added this year, it’s certain to draw country music fans from all across the area. I know there were even some people from the east coast that drove all night last year to attend the event. It is growing in size and stature each year. All of this means there will be a lot of people in Trenton during the first week of August. Not only will the area fairgoers be here, but persons from many surrounding states who will come and enjoy the music and fellowship at the music festival. Not only will it be good for local businesses, it will also be good for our community to have persons from outside the area come to see what our community has to offer. ***************************** I had a friend share these items to ponder in an email recently: Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darkens our skin? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn’t there a mouse-flavored cat food? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor but dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? And, my favorite, if con is the opposite or pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
“Straight Talk With Sam”
Four Letter Words and Three Letter Agencies
Sam Graves U.S. Senator When I was growing up, saying the wrong fourletter word would earn you a sampling of some fine bar soap. Nowadays though, it seems to be the three-letter government agencies giving Americans trouble—the EPA, the IRS, and even the SEC (no, not that one).

The outlook isn't any better for small businesses. Big companies can afford to hire entire climate accounting departments. But that's a tough cost to bear for a local restaurant or auto parts store struggling to get by with record inflation. This rule will lock mom-and-pop businesses out of the American economy. It's another threeletter agency attempting a massive overreach that threatens to drive family operations out of business. You better believe I’m going to keep hollering about this until we get it stopped—and hopefully nobody has to get out the bar of soap.

Related Disclosures for Investors," would require every publicly traded company to collect and report information on both direct and indirect emissions. That would mean every mom-andpop business, every family farm, and virtually anyone who wants to do business with a large company would first be required to record and report all their emissions to that company. That's nearly impossible. For farmers, the technology simply isn't there. There are no burp monitors for cattle. And last I checked there aren't any Fitbits that record how much CO2 your corn is putting back in the soil.
“Highlights With Hegeman”
Meets 2nd & 4th Monday of Every Month - 7 p.m.
First Ward Lance Otto Glen Briggs
First, the EPA tried to regulate every square inch of our land with their new attempt to redefine "waters of the United States" to include dry ditches and puddles. Then, the IRS tried to scoop up data on virtually every bank transaction in America and tax famers to death—and then tax them for dying. And now, the Securities and Exchange Commission is trying to push through a woke new climate rule requiring virtually every business in the country to record and report greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly to the agency. The rule, entitled "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-
Dan Hegeman Senator The August primary election is right around the corner. Every two years, Missourians get the opportunity to voice their opinions in the best way possible, which is by voting.
If you’ve been following the candidates and issues that will be on the August ballot, then great — all that is left for you to do is to go out and vote. If, on the other hand, you have not been following the issues that closely or are still unsure of which way to vote, there is still plenty of time to become informed. For more information on the 2022 primaries and upcoming general election, as well as instructions on how to register to vote, be sure to visit the secretary of state’s website at sos.mo.gov/elections. Though the deadline to
register to vote in the primary election has passed, you can still register for the upcoming general election, which will occur in November. If you have any additional electionrelated questions, you can always contact your county clerk. Whether you are voting for the local city council or president of the United States, the ability to make your voice heard is a vital part of our democratic system of government. We should never take for granted that we live in a society where every vote counts and every adult citizen has the opportu-
nity to have a say in how our government is run. The right to vote did not just appear out of thin air. Our brave men and women in uniform fight for that freedom each and every day. By participating in the electoral process, you are honoring their service. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

COMMUNITY Laredo Carol Wilford Dan and Carol Wilford attended a Prayer Rally outside the Sullivan County Courthouse on Monday, July 4 at 10:00. Music was led by Abi and Yeni Ortega, the message was given by Pastor Jeff George of the Bread of Life Church, and Pastor Sung Bata of the First Christian Church led the group in prayer around the flag pole. Before returning home, the Wilfords stopped by the Sullivan County Memorial Hospital in Milan to visit Jr. Sayre and Bonnie Maulsby. While there, they happened to see Justin Reeter of Laredo. They talked to him briefly about his upcoming trip to Nicaragua. Justin is the Dietician Manager at the hospital. Lisandro and Mary Gonzalez and sons, Sammy, Joshua, and Andrew spent July 8-10 with Dan and Carol Wilford. The Gonzalez family went to the Galt Fair on Saturday night. Mary renewed old acquaintances from Galt
High School, as well as being surprised to see her niece, Halley Campbell, who had driven up from Marshall to visit her friend Jenna Hunter of Trenton. On Sunday the Gonzalezes attended the First Baptist Church of Milan. Bill and Kathy Waits spent Monday, July 4 at Denise and Junior Hamilton’s in Tindall. On Saturday, July 9, they went again to the Hamilton’s to celebrate Junior’s 69th birthday.

In 2018, the Senior Life Solutions program began operation at Wright Memorial Hospital. It serves community members within a 50-mile radius including the counties of Grundy, Sullivan, Mercer, Livingston, Daviess, Linn and Harrison. Saint Luke’s Health System says “We are always looking for programs and services that best match up with the health care needs of the community. Wright Memorial Hospital is located in a region with a higher older adult population than the metro regions of the state. It’s no secret that services addressing depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc. are lacking throughout the state and the U.S. We felt with our higher than aver-
self and have the opportunity to create relationships with other people who may be facing similar challenges. During group therapy, patients will engage in open conversation guided by a licensed therapist and learn new skills to support their mental health wellness for the remainder of their lives. Referrals to the program can be made by anyone, including the patient, patient’s physician, family member, friend or another healthcare professional. A doctor’s referral is not required. If you would like more information, education, or to discuss support don’t hesitate to contact Wright Memorial Hospital’s Senior Life Solutions at 660-357-4730 or visit saintlukeskc.org/senior.

State Unemployment Rates and New Suicide & Crisis Hotline JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – Missouri once again received good news as the latest jobs report shows Missouri’s unemployment rate has hit a record low. The state unemployment rate fell to 2.8 percent in June, which is the lowest rate in Missouri since the data series began in 1976. Missouri was previously at 3.1 percent unemployment for the month of May but saw non-farm payroll employment increase by 5,300 jobs from May to June. That increase dropped the unemployment rate by three-tenths of a percent. Compared to last year at the same time, Missouri has seen an increase of 65,500 jobs. The June 2021 unemployment rate was 4.4, which is 1.6 percentage points higher than the current rate. Missouri’s unemployment rate has been at or below the national rate for the last five years. This is sensational news for Missourians, especially given the state of our current national economy. Low unemployment rates mean that people are able to go to work, earn an honest wage, and support themselves and their families. This data is exciting news for Missouri’s future. In other news, Missourians suffering a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis can now dial 9-8-8 to receive compassionate, accessible care and support. The 988 number routes callers to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which provides free and confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During the 2022 legislative session, the Missouri House and Senate approved approximately $30.5 million in funding to implement the new 988 Crisis Hotline. The governor signed that funding into law, and the new system officially began operation on July 16. The 988 line will be the first step to engage individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. There are seven crisis centers in Missouri responsible for answering 988 contacts for the state. Crisis specialists will have the ability to dispatch mobile crisis response teams wherever the crisis is occurring in the community and based on the needs of the person. While 988 is a national initiative, it is up to each state to ensure crisis services are available to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. After nearly two years of planning and preparation, Missouri’s 988 centers are prepared and ready to answer the projected 253,000 contacts (calls, texts, and chats) expected in the first year of the 988 implementation. Missourians dealing with a crisis who need immediate help can reach out by calling or texting 988, or chatting at https://988lifeline.org/. As always, it’s an honor to serve you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call my office at (573) 751-0246 or email me at Randy.Railsback@house.mo.gov.

Dear Annie: I've been with my girlfriend for seven years and lived with her for four. She wants to get married and have kids. For the past three years, I've promised to propose every six months, but when the time comes, I back out. I even went ring shopping but couldn't pull the trigger. Although I want to get married and have kids one day, just the discussions of such a commitment give me serious anxiety to the point where I cannot breathe. I want us to travel the world before tying the knot, but she's too attached to her job. My family says I am too young to get married at 27 and that if I need counseling now, before even proposing, things will only get worse when we have a mortgage and kids. My therapist says contemplating marriage should be

exciting and happy, but all I feel is trapped. I love her, and living with her is fun, but marrying her feels like doom. She says I am stringing her along without a timeline as she is pushing 30, but I'm honest that I cannot guarantee if and when I'll be ready. Do I propose with a five-year engagement? -- To Wed or Not To Wed Dear To Wed: If the idea alone of marrying this woman is leaving you short of breath and like you're approaching "doom," absolutely do not propose or continue promising her any kind of timeline you have no intention of keeping. It's clear you two are on completely different pages -- in different books, even -- and for either of you to change your mind just for the sake of the other would be unfair and likely disastrous.

Your relationship has reached an impasse. I'd recommend couples therapy, in addition to continuing your individual counseling, to confront your commitment issues and see if there's hope for building a future you're both excited about. What you have to sort out is how much of this is your overall fear of commitment versus your feelings for your girlfriend. Do you think of all marriages as traps? Or is it just marriage to this woman that would leave you feeling trapped? With good therapy, you can sort this out.

US business sectors face rising default The chances of a default across most businesses increased during the second quarter compared to the end of the first quarter, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. The exception: the financial sector. The rising rate of defaults on loans comes as the Federal Reserve’s rate hike in June sets the stage for a downturn for some U.S. companies as higher borrowing costs should temper consumer spending and increase expenses. The report’s scores, which represent the odds of default within a year, are based primarily on the volatility of share prices for public companies and account for both country and
industry-related risks. Health care was the sector with the highest one-year probability of default at 7.3% as of June 30, according to Market Intelligence data. That’s up from 4.6% on March 31. The report cited labor shortages, a wave of canceled elective surgical procedures and pandemic worries, all of which put more pressure on health care companies. Communication services had the second-highest score at 4.9%, up from 3.2% in the first quarter, according to the data. The discretionary sector, which includes businesses that sell goods and services viewed as non-essential like clothing retailers, was at 3.8%, up from 2.5%.
