become better acquainted with the community. “In my nine years with the

United States Postal Service, I have seen firsthand the role the postal service plays connecting neighbors and our community to the nation.

Sharps Show Loyalty to Hometown and Alma Mater

By Steve Maxey It has often said “Once a Trenton Bulldog…..always a Trenton Bulldog, you bleed black and gold forever!” One such individual epitomizes that phrase and the gift from he and his wife truly speaks for their love for the Trenton R-9 School District.

Marvin Sharp grew up on a farm south of Trenton, the son of Loren Gilbert and Clara Leo Mitts Sharp. He shared his simple life with two sisters, Edna and Leo and was the youngest of the Sharp children.

The family moved to Trenton when Marvin was very young and he began his twelve years of education in the Trenton School System.

As a high school student, Marvin’s leadership and his love for his school were evident. He served as Sophomore Class President and Senior Class President and was Vice-President during his Junior year.

Among his school activities included Football, Track, T Club where he served as President, the Drama Club and Student Council. He graduated in 1946 and entered the U.S. Navy in June following his graduation.

He returned home and enrolled at Trenton Junior College for his freshman year.

At TJC, Marvin continued to excel and served on the Student Council and participated in the College Play and the Variety Show. After one year, he transferred to the University of Missouri – Columbia where he received an A.B. degree in 1952. He later attended the University of Missouri – Kansas City Law School earning a law degree in 1959.

Marvin returned to Trenton in 1961 to practice law with the firm of Pickett, An-

dereck and Hauck. He continued practice and retired in 1992 as a partner of Stockard, Andereck, Hauck, Sharp and Evans.

His practice didn’t stop there as he served as counsel in the firm of Andereck, Evans, Milne, Widger and Johnson and successor firms until 2009. Among his legal career assignments, Marvin served as Trenton City Attorney from 1971 to 1978 and a prosecuting attorney of Mercer County from 1970 to 1971.

Marvin’s leadership was recognized by many and he was always in demand for service to others. He served as President of the Trenton High School Alumni Association in 1971 and was President of the 25-year class celebration. Among his commitments to the community included the Trenton Chamber of Commerce, North Central Missouri College Foundation, Wright Memorial Hospital and the Board of the American Bank of North Central Missouri. He was an active member of many other organizations including the Trenton Quarterback Club and Bulldog [See Sharp, Page 2]

Among her friends, colleagues, family, and community members, Susan Leeper said farewell during her retirement reception at the Trenton R-IX District Office, where she has held the District and Board Secretary role for 34 years. As she was congratulated, hugged, and praised for her time at the school district, Susan remembered some of her favorite things about working at Trenton R-IX. “I enjoyed seeing all my kids that came through,” said Susan.

“I was able to see all five of my children and eight grandchildren complete their education at Trenton RIX.” In her first year at Trenton R-IX, she was a para and the PAT Educator, where she then took the role of District and Board Secretary.

Susan said, “I’m open and personable with people. That helped it be not so scary for people to come in and talk or ask questions.”

For her retirement, Susan plans on taking a vacation and spending lots of time with her kids and grandkids. “This was a great career,” said Susan. “I hope the office thrives and does even better in the future.”

Booster Club. He was also an active member of the First Baptist Church.

Marvin was married to Jacqueline Crosswhite Jordin in 1968 in Trenton and they were the parents of one son, Robert. Jackie was born in Lead Hill, Arkansas and graduated from Carthage High School.

After moving to Trenton in 1961, Jackie was employed

by McCullough Insurance Agency. After the loss of her first husband, Jackie was united in marriage to Marvin Sharp in 1968. She too was active in the Trenton community as both a Hospital Volunteer, Church Women United Thrift Shop volunteer, and a member of the First Baptist Church.

Marvin never forgot his roots at Trenton High School. Many gifts have been received by the Foundation Trust for THS and the THS Alumni Association due to his encouragement and guidance to others. To many on the current Foundation Board, he remained a counsel

when charitable gifts and estates were directed to the administration of the Association/Foundation Board.

Marvin passed away on December 17, 2018 and Jackie on March 19, 2021 leaving behind their son, Robert and several nieces, nephews and a host of colleagues and friends. The Sharp’s were an admirable couple: Marvin – quiet, dedicated and respected; Jackie – elegant, a beautiful lady and both, so humble and caring.

Marvin believed so strongly in Trenton High School that at his death and the passing of Jackie, a major gift was presented to the Foundation Trust for THS. It is hard to express the importance of one giving back to their high school and to other beneficiaries in the community.

To love your hometown and your “ black and gold,” we will never forget the kindness of Marvin and Jacqueline Sharp, their memory and their generosity will last for many years to come. We thank-you both, dear friends.

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension KIDS & SELF-ESTEEM

by Jessica Trussell University of Missouri Extension Field Specialist in Human Development in Livingston County Research tells us that by increasing your child’s selfesteem and self-awareness, you can help give your children protective factors.

These protective factors are qualities that keep them from trying activities that can hurt them. Children who have protective factors tend to avoid underage drinking, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, and school failure. A strong sense of self and an "I can do it!" attitude helps us deal with life's frustrations.

Children need to feel safe, secure, loved, and connected to a family.

Let's think about the relationship between parents or caregivers and children.

Strong parents help children grow into strong, healthy adults. Picture a drawing of a tree with roots. The roots ground the tree and hold it in place. The trunk of the tree holds it upright. Sap and nutrients flow from the roots, up the trunk, through the branches and to the leaves.

What if we think of children as the branches on this tree and the parents as its roots?

A strong root system keeps the tree healthy. We think of parents and caregivers providing supports to their children to help them grow and develop. If the parents provide these supports to their children, the family has a better foundation and is better able to stay together.

Just like in a healthy tree. If the roots are healthy, they

send nutrients up the trunk and through the branches to the leaves and seeds. The leaves and seeds flourish and grow.

Just as a tree is a system of roots, trunk, branches, leaves and seeds, a family has different parts that work together as a system. If one part of a system is weakened, it affects the health of the entire system. What happens when the tree's roots don't get enough water? Or if they aren't healthy?

What happens when parents have problems and can't give their children supports?

Children may also believe that if something is wrong with the family or with the parents, they are to blame.

Parents or caregivers are important to children. Parents who have a positive view of themselves find it easier to encourage positive self-esteem in children.

They provide stronger roots for the family.

Have you ever seen your parents when you look at yourself in the mirror? What was your reaction?

Have you ever looked at your children and seen yourself? What did you see?

Just like we've picked up traits from our parents, our children will pick up traits from us. How many times did you tell yourself as a child, "I'm not going to do that with my children when I grow up," only to see yourself years later doing exactly what you saw your parents do? It is natural to learn behaviors from those people who are most important to us.

Children can "catch" healthy self-esteem from you. Taking care of yourself is one way to take care of your children.

If you desire further information on this or any other topic, contact your local University of Missouri Extension Center. University of Missouri Extension programs are open to all. Thank you for your time.

OP/ED “Highlights with Hegeman”

More Help for Rural Missouri

Dan Hegeman Senator To me, the role of state government is to help as many of our citizens who need that extra “hand up” as possible.

At the same time, it is also important to make sure it is something our state can afford. Part of the state operating budget for the fiscal year that started on July 1 includes funding for grants designed for smaller communities.

Through these grants, we hope to get underand unserved areas the ability to add cell phone towers. The immediate result will be covering the gaps that exist in cell coverage in rural Missouri. The larger goal is the ability to upgrade all of our state’s cellular technology.

The grant funding is included in House Bill 3020, which is one of the additional appropriations measures aimed at improving infrastructure needs in Missouri over the next year.

More specifically, the funding comes from the American Recovery

Plan Act, or ARPA. The $30 million set aside in this measure is designed solely for smaller communities; moreover, private businesses will be able to partner with the state to help put up these towers and expand internet access throughout some of the most rural areas of Missouri.

In my opinion, this is some of the best news to come from Jefferson City in some time.

While it is unfortunate it took a pandemic to help get the wheels turning on this idea, the fact remains this onetime spending should provide a lot of relief for a lot of people in our state. Better still, a lot of the projects that come from this ARPA infusion are planned for rural areas, which make up much of the great northwest part of our state. I am happy to see this help come our way and look forward to seeing the results of this funding pay off for years to come.

As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Eminent domain overreach Have you heard about the Grain Belt Express yet? If not, you will…..

Unfortunately, I am afraid this sad saga is not going away anytime soon.

Jamey Honeycutt Publisher What began as a colossal failure of the Public Service Commission has now become the massive failure of the Missouri Senate. TWICE now the House of Representatives has sent legislation to the senate to change the use of eminent domain.

While there was little chance of reversing the PSC decision, they could have at least improved the terms regarding the forced sale of land from generational farm families that do not want to sell land or easements to this private for profit company. Unfortunately, infighting and petty lawmakers in the senate took their marbles and went home, letting the bill die on the floor.

The Grain Belt Express is a legal land grab by a private company on farmers just to our south.

Counties like Buchannon, Clinton, Caldwell and Carroll have already

had families taken to court to force the sale of their land through eminent domain.

As District 8 Representative Randy Railsback told me from a hay field near Hamilton, “It is a shame what the senate did. They failed their constituents and erased two years of work we did in the House to protect farmers.”

Now I don’t want to paint the wrong picture, The Greed Belt Express, as I call it, will pay farmers for their land and in some cases quite handsomely but they should not be compelled to sell at all!

And at the end of the day that is what it is all about, freedom to sell or not sell. We are slowly losing more and more freedoms in this country in the name of fairness, security and the most perverted word these days, progress.

People have caused more damage in the name of “progress” throughout the years and many of our neighbors in North Missouri are sick of it.

Sure, The Greed Belt has a lot of talking points that sound good but we have all been sold that bill of goods before.

They claim it will create a bunch of construction jobs. They claim some of the energy will be used to lower prices in Missouri.

They claim it is good for the state because it is “green”.

Here is what I think. If you put some of what they are selling with your

tomato plants, they will grow faster and larger but don’t track any in the house or there will be trouble.

The Greed Belt is wanting to hurry up and build this while wind energy subsidies are still high. Currently the tax credits for wind energy, which the power lines will be transmitting are pretty healthy but they are dwindling.

They started out around 30% and are down to nearly 22% by my last Google search.

What happens if those subsidies dry up as administrations change in the Swamp? Well, just look at California. There are approx 4000 abandoned wind turbines from the last wind boom in the 70’s.

Currently it costs about $200,000 to dismantle and bury the fiberglass blades since they cannot be recycled effectively.

This group of energy progressives say there is a plan for their clean up of turbines and transmission lines if they ever fall out of use but have we heard that talk before? Just ask anyone that has ever had to scratch and claw to get their environmental disaster cleaned up.

Only about 7% of the energy will be consumed in Missouri while the rest will be sent to our neighbors to the east who don’t want the ugly windmills or transmission lines cutting through their backyards.

Now remember, this is not a much needed high-

way or public use building that eminent domain might force a sale for the “public good”. This is a private company that somehow coerced the Missouri PSC to green light their use of eminent domain. This should have never happened.

Now a public hearing is coming to Clinton County. July 14th at 9 am, Judge Brent Elliott will hear a case involving the eminent domain land grab of property owned by a Lathrop resident.

Admittedly, I am not sure what can be done at this point since the PSC and senate have made a mockery of land ownership. I am also not sure of Judge Elliott’s role in this hearing. My instinct is that his hands may be tied as long as the plaintiff proves that the land is necessary to the completion of the project since that project has already been granted eminent domain.

It just stinks and we need to let our elected officials know that we are not happy and expect them to stand up to this overreach in the future.

Unfortunately, it may be too late to get justice regarding The Greed Belt Express. For those of us not in harm's way “this time”, remember that every vote counts and those elected also appoint commissioners to boards like the Public Service Commission.

Those people control our freedom and it should be a wake up call for us all.

Carroll County YMCA Is Rotary Topic Kathy Lock, director of the Carroll County Area YMCA, was the guest speaker at the Thursday, June 30 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting and was the sergeant at arms.

Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Jackie Soptic was the program chairman.

Mrs. Lock presented information about the YMCA in her community and the projects that are offered. She said the Carroll County group worked through the Grand River YMCA at Chillicothe to get its YMCA started. A feasibility study was done and after determining an interest for such a venture, efforts got under way to make the community aware of the project and to begin raising funds. The organizers were able to raise over $500,000 to establishing an operating budget. The YMCA currently operates out of a building in Carrollton, but partners with community groups that have estab-

Thank You

The family of Marvin Arbuckle would like to sincerely thank everyone for the prayers, calls, cards, texts and beautiful flowers that we received after the passing of Marvin ~ husband, father, grandfather and friend to all. Thank you also for the memorial donations to the American Heart Association.

A special thank you is extended to: Rev. Bruce Cadle for the lovely service; Marvin’s nurses ~ Anna Buzzard, Katie Kasey, Sonya McCulley and countless others during his heart transplant journey; Grundy County EMT teams; St. Luke’s staff and medical personnel; the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City; and the Slater-Neal Funeral Home.

Family and friends were blessed to have had Marvin in their lives an extra 21.5 years. One of his transplant doctors said, “Marvin, you’re as tough as an old leather boot!”, and that he was, never once complaining. He was very appreciative of his care, thanking everyone. All that knew him, loved him.

The Trenton Rotary Club has donated $875 to Bright Futures Trenton, with $675 designated for the purchase of new shoes to be given to students in need and $200 designated for the Bright Futures Trenton Back to School event in August. The shoe money was collected during the club’s “Shoes for Orphan Souls” international project that concluded in May. Pictured are from left, Diane Lowrey, Shoes for Orphan Souls chairman; Adrianne Todd, representing the Hodge Presbyterian Church that organizes the Bright Futures shoe project; and Chris Hoffman, chairman of the Bright Futures Trenton Board of Directors.

485 families who have YMCA memberships. In addition to the food program, the YMCA works with the school district to provide various youth recreation activities as well as the city of Carrollton, in which the YMCA contracts for use of the city swimming pool by its members.

Mrs. Lock said the school district has provided facilities for many of its recreational activities. The group is hoping to have its own facility in the near future, which would provide a central site for its activities. There are currently 10 full-time and 20 part-time employees.

During the business meeting, the club presented an $875 check to Bright Futures Trenton, with $675 to be used to purchase shoes that are distributed to students in need during the year, ad $200, to be used at the Bright Futures Trenton Back to School event in August.

The Trenton Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for “Graphics King” on Thursday, June 30. Graphics King is a vinyl and graphic design company owned by Tyler and Paige Willey. They opened the business in November of 2020 and expanded into a commerical space in Trenton in the fall of 2021. They offer a wide range of services from logo design and business signage to full race car wraps. Graphics King also offers custom printed vinyl banners, mesh banners, window perf, custom built signs, automotive light tinting, automotive decals, interior wall graphics and more. Owning a graphics company has been a dream of Tyler’s for several years and he is excited to bring it to our small town and offer a wide variety of services. Tyler and Paige have thoroughly enjoyed working with several local businesses over the past year and a half. They look forward to meeting and working with more people in the years to come.

On June 9th the Trenton FFA chapter held a petting zoo for the summer school students. FFA members pitched in by bringing many fun animals that can be found on many farms such as puppies, bottle calves, cats, rabbits, sheep, and ducks. The officers also made education posters for each animal to help educate the students on what it takes to own different species. In addition to the petting zoo, 60 second and third grade students participated in Food For America. This program strives to promote and improve elementary student’s agricultural literacy by teaching them the process of getting food from the farm to the table.

This year the Trenton FFA focused their lesson on the dairy industry. The students participated in classroom activities that looked at the step by step process to make ice cream starting with milking a cow. The students ended the lesson with being able to make their very own bag of ice cream.

Ever-higher interest rates?

Alley Oop® by Joey Alison Sayers and Jonathan Lemon

For Better or For Worse® by Lynn Johnson

How high will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates to fight inflation?

In mid-June, the Fed sharply increased its forecast of how much it expects to tighten credit by the end of this year and the next two years.

Combined with the three-quarters-of-a-point rate hike the Fed announced in June — its largest hike in 28 years — the new projections unnerved financial markets and intensified fears that the economy could fall into recession.

The central bank now expects to raise its key short-term

rate to 3.4% by the end of this year and 3.8% by the end of 2023. (The Fed sets rates in a range — now 1.5% to 1.75% — but provides a number in the middle of the range in its forecasts).

Those levels marked a big jump from its previous projections in March.

Chair Jerome Powell has said that such “forward guidance” — information on what the Fed plans to do in the future — can help combat inflation by leading investors to boost longer-term rates at a faster pace than Fed hikes alone.
