The City Council had asked Ron Urton to present the financial information and bid to the utility committee for their input. The utility committee agreed upon the approximated $20,000 cost for five poles, materials and installation. It was agreed to place three to four poles and leave the other one or two for spares. The committee asked Urton to take the motion to the City Council for approval.Discussion on the Pleasant Plain lift station capacity was quite lengthy. The Pleasant Plain pump currently pumps water to the Poplar Grade lift station which is in need of revamping. The utility committee is wanting to increase capacity at Pleasant Plain lift station to help with future new infrastructure in the industrial park area.

LOCAL The Trenton Park Board met on Wednesday, August 10 at Trenton City Hall. The meeting was called to order by President Curtis Crawford. The minutes of the previous monthly meeting was approved with all in favor.Inunfinished business, Crawford reported that the new signs with planters have arrived for the Rock Barn and Van Meter park. He asked Park Superintendent David Shockley to set up a meeting with Mary Peterson who takes care of the planters for the city, so they can discuss how the signs will be set up. President Crawford said they would like to have them set and ready to go prior to Missouri Days weekend. In new business, David Shockley reported that he has been ordering pool supplies and the cost of those supplies has increased over 50 percent since last year. The pool committee reports they are hearing positive feedback from patrons of the pool this year. Shockley wanted to say “Thank You” to the Trenton Fire Department and the Grundy County Ambulance for coming out and running through safety training scenarios with the lifeguards and pool staff. He would like for this to be a yearly training and to take place a little earlier in the season. The Trenton Family Aquatic Center will close for the season on Saturday, August 20. The Facilities Committee reported that the border at Van Meter park is completed and gravel spread out. Tree trimming and cutting will be done at Moberly Park as there are 2 trees that need to be removed. The tennis courts have been leveled, not perfectly, but there is consideration in making those pickleball courts. The high school tennis courts can be used by the public if they are not in use by students for school activities. Board Member John Hamilton reported that NCMC will have a program on August 27 about pickleball if anyone is interested in learning more about the sport.In the Superintendent’s report, it was announced that the park department has started putting the metal on the shelter houses at Moberly Park. The metal was donated by the Trenton Rotary Club. The summer ball season has now ended. Trenton hosted a Little League District One tournament for 6 days in the beginning of July which saw a great turnout.The topic of vandalism at area parks was heavily discussed again. Over the 4th of July weekend, the lower bathrooms at Moberly Park were vandalized. The toilet, sink and mirror were destroyed and have now been replaced. The bathrooms at Burleigh Grimes field have been repainted on the inside after vandalism happened in June. The cameras agreed upon at previous meetings have been installed, unfortunately they are not around the restroom areas and this seems to be where the major vandalism is taking place. President Crawford and the board want the citizens of Trenton to please contact the police if you see of any vandalism taking place at the parks. The board has set up a reward system fund for information leading to the arrest or conviction of persons vandalizing or stealing from the Trenton Park Department. If anyone would like to donate to the fund they may do so by contacting Green Hills Rural DevelopmentThepark board entered into a closed session for personnel with no announcement made.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau met in regular session at City Hall on August 10. Members present were Megan Pester, Jordan Ferguson, Debbie Carman and Megan Taul. Mayor Linda Crooks and council liaison member Marvin Humphreys were also in attendance. Jordan called the meeting to order and minutes were approved. The finance report was tabled and is to be provided via email to members following the meeting. In old business, Megan Pester provided an update on photography of local events, seasons and businesses. The photographer was recently in town for photos of downtown and Riverside Country Club events. Megan is reviewing the spreadsheet to see upcoming events the photographer will be here for and what line items still need to be taken. It was noted that the group needs to check with the Mid-America Music Festival for promotional photos from the festival.Jordan and Megan will have a meeting with JLSA on August 12, to discuss website management, how to edit content, and maintenance. Digital marketing will also be discussed at the JLSA meeting. The board has agreed to leave the current board member range as it is. They will be inviting organization representatives to each meeting. The board agreed to purchase a Chamber Directory Ad for $720. It will have a similar design to the Jamesport Ad placed earlier this year. One of the upcoming steps will be social media content. Discussion included who could/would manage a facebook page for the bureau. Various options were presented including JLSA who quoted $1500 a month for 3 hours a week to create posts, boost posts and purchase stock images. The board noted they would not need very many stock images as they have their own local images and photography. The board agreed that while it is a remote task, it would be difficult for JLSA to connect locally. A local free-lancer was another option presented, that would be familiar with the needs and fit within the budget. Jordan is contacting Tara Walker for legal assistance and process.The next meeting of the Convention & Visitors Bureau will be held at 12:00 p.m. on September 14 at City Hall.

Dear Annie: I am 40 years old, and I have been eating a plant-based diet since high school. I am in great shape, and my doctor is very pleased with my health status. For over two decades, friends and family have worn me down to where I feel my graciousness is down to kindling when it comes to them challenging what I put on my plate. Many times people will mention to others at work or at a party that I am vegan (I don't know why), and the room immediately is focused on me and someone always asks how I get my protein. I usually want to keep the mood light, so I answer them. I am tired of graciously answering them because more often than not, the line of questioning won't stop. They want me to go into detail about why I eat what I eat (or don't eat). They tell me about how they couldn't be healthy or could never give up cheese, and I find myself in the middle of a monologue that feels kind of like I'm being bullied. I don't want to feel pushed around, but I also want to keep it light. How can I tell them that I don't want to talk to them about my eating habits without sounding rude? -- StrugglingDearVegan Struggling Vegan: Two decades of veganism is no small feat, and the fact that your doctor is very pleased with your health status -- congratulations! Many people would say that the environment thanks you, and it sounds like your body is thanking you, too. Talking about someone else's diet is a mundane form of small talk, but for some reason people keep doing it. Whether it's nosiness or genuine curiosity is anyone's guess. And who knows -- maybe one of your co-workers is inspired by your eating, considering a vegan diet and eager for more info. Regardless, you're not required to explain your plate to anyone. Try gently changing the subject with something like, "This food makes my body feel it's best. How was your vacation?" or "I get lots of protein from beans -- tell me about your new"Howpuppy."Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?" is out now!

Labor rates All of these things are up and driving the overall cost of ownership up further ” said Greg Brannon, AAA automotive engineering director. AAA used a weighted average gas price for the first five months of the year for fuel costs. It was $3 99 per gallon, about what gas costs now he said. Small sedans had the lowest costs, followed by electric vehicles Pickup trucks were the highest.
