Charlie’s dad plays guitar and tried to teach Charlie at a young age, however it took Char lie going away to college to learn to Charlieplay.said “ I went away to college and a buddy of mine had a guitar, so I picked it up and learned some chords. I came home from college, picked up my dad's guitar and started playing and shocked my parents. I had some growing pains the first few years, as when my friends and I would all gather I would take my gui tar and eventually end up being the only person in the room playing the guitar”.
Charlie has liked music his whole life and fondly remembers going to the jamboree on Saturday nights in Laredo with his grandmother. Listening to the music played there had a big impact on steering him in the music direction. Charlie’s playing of music gravitates towards the singers and songwriters, some of which may not be mainstream.Hehaswritten about 10 songs but he only plays about two of them live. He admits that he still gets the jitters playing in public, but he is honored to play when he is asked to. When Shane Lynch called to ask him to play the fundraiser for Leadership Northwest Mis souri, he was more than happy to say yes! Ryan Griffin grew up in Florida, when he was young his mom said he sang melodies before he could form sentences, they knew he would be musical even though no one in the family was. When he was 12-14 years of age, Ryan picked up a guitar and started playing at any music festival, fair or event in theirRyanarea.said “I was on my way to high school one morning, I heard a Keith Urban song on the radio and I knew I wanted to move to Nashville and sing country music. I went home and told my parents and my mom asked what college I was going to attend, and I hadn’t thought about that part”. He attended Bel mont University and in his junior year he was able to do an internship with Broken Bow Records be coming tour manager for country artist Jason Aldean. He learned valuable infor mation about both sides of the music business and he knew that he wanted to be on the artist side of the business.Ryan graduated from Belmont, wrote songs and got a publication deal. He had some success and then he landed a #1 hit song with the song “Dibs” recorded by Kelsea Ballerini. This was the moment his career took off and it made him understand the sacrifices that artists and their fam ilies go through with hav ing young children and being on the road. Ryan says “I am blessed with an amazing team and was able to do a radio tour. I was signed with Warner Bros Records, however due to budget cuts with the pan demic they had to drop five artists in February 2021 and I was one of them”. Ryan credits his wife for helping him through this time. He was devastated with being released and she said “you are a songwriter, we live in Nashville, why don’t you just release your songs on social media and see how they do”. Ryan put his song “Salt, Lime and Tequila” on so cial media and the next morning it had a million streams and has been going strong since. Sirius XM picked it up and it went #1 and then it was taken to radio and it has been his biggest blessing. The song was written during the pan demic as a song to help people to just relax and for get about the chaos going on in the world. He was reading the comments people were writing about it and realized it was serv ing its purpose: it was help ing people. Ryan says “I really enjoy getting to play this song live and hearing people singing it back to me is an amazing feeling”. Griffin met Shane Lynch when Shane lived and worked in Nashville, they became geat friends, so when Shane called Ryan to see if he would play the jam it was a definite yes! Ryan says “I am super excited to come to Trenton to play music, see the Black Silo Winery and sing for every one.

Construction Begins on Relocation of Princeton Ball Fields
It is an exciting time as we begin to move our fields out of the river bot tom, and the burning question is when will this project finally be com plete. At this time, there is no set date for completion for the project as many factors play a role in the con struction process. Weather, supply availability, labor/volunteers, and, of course, money are some of the signif icant factors that will impact the completion of the project; however, the plan is to work as efficiently as possible to construct a high-quality facility for the community to enjoy for many years to come. Currently, the need for additional funding is still a major challenge. The fundraising committee is very appreciative of the community's sup port as the campaign to raise funds is progressing. “Our school district and the community are extremely grateful for all of the donations and pledges for the support of this project,” said Mr. Girdner, “Your donation can have a significant impact and help provide new ball fields for our com munity.” If you, your business, or your organization would like to do nate to this community project, please contact Mr. Jerry Girdner at Princeton R-V School District. You can also mail a check to, “The Com munity Foundation of Northwest Missouri,” at 1006 West St. Maartens Drive, Suite B, St. Joseph, MO 64506. Please add “Princeton Ball Fields” to the memo line and include a short note or cover letter with your donation. No amount is too small, and no donation will go unnoticed.

One of the major aspects of Missouri's recent primary was the number of races for which there actually was no contest. In more than half of the 180 state legislative dis tricts on the ballot, one of the two major parties did not have a candidate. That meant that in those 100-single-party dis trict primaries, the primary winner almost certainly will be the November general election winner. More disturbing is that in those 100 single-party district primaries there was no contest in 64 of those districts because the only major-party on the ballot had just one candidate. I was not surprised by these figures. Over the decades it has become clear that var ious political factors have made state legislative districts less competitive. One reason is that both parties in the redistrict ing process seek to protect their incumbents or party control of the districts. This obvious "gerrymandering" actually repre sents a court-accepted concept in redistricting for districts to represent communities of interest. The Democratic effort to retain a district favor able to a Black Congress member in the Kansas City area is an example. So too are the arguments by rural, agricultural legislators to not have their districts lumped into non-agricultural metro areas. There is, however, another factor for the decline in legislative primary contests.

A wise man once said, “Nothing worthwhile was ever easy.” That must mean that owning a community newspaper is the most worthwhile en deavor known to man. The last year has been one of the most challeng ing times for my wife and I in the newspaper business. We have at tempted to streamline processes, embrace com plete staff turnover, deal with skyrocketing infla tion (gee thanks Uncle Joe!) and try our best to get to know our new hometowns and neigh bors.As we head into the new school year we are greeted by yet another challenge; covering high school sports without a sportsThisreporter.isn’tby design. We want a reporter to cover sports but after Seth returned to the family farm we have not found that person, so you are stuck with me for a while. So far this un filled position has de layed publication of the Fall Sports Preview. That section should have come out this week but that was delayed by not having that person on staff. We are also still chasing team photos and rosters but coaches are busy this time of year. So you will have to suffer with my reporting skills for at least the next week or two of the sea son. I will be assem bling the Fall Sports Preview that will be in the newspaper next week.That will be if I can fix a sick Nikon camera, fig ure out who all the fall coaches are and get their comments, rosters and team photos. Thank goodness for local year book staff photographers or we would be sunk!

Going from a daily newspaper a few years ago to twice weekly and then making the nec essary decision to go weekly this year has been a shock to many and we appreciate your patience. At the same time we made that change we lost about 47 years of news and sports experience. While chal lenging times for sure, I have been so proud of how veteran employee Anita Ewing has stepped up and taken a leadership role at your newspaper. All those years of as sembling the newspaper week in and week out for Ronda pretty much made her a Grundy county ex pert and unofficial news editor. When Amy Mor ton came on board as a correspondent and later reporter, those two meshed and have been completely responsible for assembling the paper you have enjoyed for the past few months. I have written a few loud mouth conservative columns and covered a few baseball games but those ladies have done a greatNowjob.we just need to get a sports reporter and we will be set, but why are folks so shy to step up to the plate, as it were?Let me dispel a few myths about the position. Do I have to have a journalism degree? NO. You just have to be able to tell a story about the game. Expert analysis and complex play diagramming is not required at this publica tion. We are more inter ested in a summary of the game and a lot of photos. Will the job dom inate my time? No, we can cover most of the sports by attending several games a week and managing submitted photos and stats in about 20-25 hours a week so it is now a part-time posi tion. Do I have to know computer design and photography? No and sorta. While basic computer (email and type) skills are needed, we have folks to design the page and place your articles and photos. We also have cameras that (when I haven’t broken them) al most do the job for you. You just need to be in the right place on the side line to capture the action. When would I work? When games are played. Games gen erally are after 5pm with some exceptions. Some sports like wrestling and tournaments can be held on Saturday but most are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Most games fall on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Do I have to be at every game for every sport? NO. Often there are conflicts such as a tennis match in Trenton when a softball game is being played in Bethany. You can only be in one place at a time and coaches and parents are great about sending stats and even a photo from away games and when you are “double-booked”.Thereareonlytwo re quirements for this job; a love of sports and a de sire to showcase area young people in sports and other extracurricular activities.Iknow it is not stan dard practice to run a help-wanted opinion col umn but I wanted every one to know why sports coverage may look a bit different for a while as well as explaining a re warding job opportunity for the right person. We appreciate your readership and under standing during these trying employment times. We look forward to doing our part to rec ognize tremendous stu dent athletic achievement in our pages weekly. See you at the ballfield and courts. W. MO W. Capitol Ave. City, MO 65101

We reserve
undoubtedly discourage a poten tial candidate in a district for which the candidate's party has little chance of winning. This near ideological purity between the two parties in Missouri's legislature would be unimag inable to the lawmakers I covered half a century ago.Even more unimaginable would be Senate legislative candidates getting funds from outside interests to increase the influence of the conser vative faction of Republican senators within the GOP Senate Caucus. As a footnote, I have not counted third party candidates in the figures of unopposed primaries because I cannot remember, if ever that a thirdparty candidate won a legislative district. Besides, in the legislative races with third party candidates this year, their votes were minuscule compared to the major party candidates. But maybe the growing ideological divide of the two parties might provide an opportunity for can didates from non-traditional parties. matter of to and matters of local interest to public. of a personal or nature (i.e. thank you etc.) will not be accepted. the or correct grammatical or spelling reserves the right to submitted for is Monday of the week are to be

John and Marcia own and operate the business where John trims, and bends willow limbs into rustic furni ture and home decor.

In addition to the plant starts and growing operations here, she explained how they obtain smaller plants or fully germinated seeds from larger nursery suppliers. Using these outlets ensures closer to 100% plant establishment and suc cess in Barnesresale.Greenhouse provides ex ceptional quality, well-established plants to several North Missouri busi nesses such as Hy-Vee and Orscheln during the growing season.

Dear Annie: Dear Annie: In response to "Sick of Being Treated This Way," I am 73 and have spent much of my life being complimented on looking and acting younger than my age. Of course, I enjoy those compliments. After all, doesn't our cul ture glorify youthfulness? But I have had naturally white hair for a few dec ades, and I guess my wrin kles, though few, are starting to show more. So, yes, sometimes people do offer me a seat or ask if I'd like help carrying a heavy item from a store even though I regularly carry heavy loads while main taining my garden. But you know what? I've learned to take much of this as a way to show respect for their elders, something done far better in other cul tures where youth has not been put on the pedestal we seem to have given it. In fact, when I think back to the times when this has bothered me, it's because it is my ego kicking in, want ing to somehow pretend that I am part of that great American worship of all that is young. At the same time, is it not a sign of kindness (or maybe even guilt) when a young and healthy person sees someone who might be a little frailer and de cides to offer them their seat? If you don't want to take their offer, why not just say, "No, thanks any way," and be happy they cared enough to ask? When I am asked if I need help carrying my groceries, I can appreciate that they no ticed that I might be strug gling and then smile and say thank you -- and maybe even let them take on the load, even if it's not nec essary.Why is it we so often have to take offense when others are trying to reach out? Is it because our pride won't let us look a little vul nerable or needy? Being "treated differently just be cause you have lived longer" is perhaps a good thing, a sign that respect and concern hasn't gone the way of the dark ages! Happy With Living LongerDear Happy With Liv ing Longer: You offer a great perspective on aging. Our culture does seem to glorify youthfulness. Yet growing older is a privilege and something to be cele brated. Thank you for shar ing your thoughts.

According to government calculations, the U.S. economy shrank from January through March and again from April through June. Such consecutive quarters of contracting gross domestic product are one informal indicator that the economy has entered a recession Someone, though forgot to tell employers. They added a robust 528,000 jobs in July helping reduce the unemployment rate to 3.5% a half century low. Thanks to steady consumer spending, hiring has been consistently strong despite raging inflation, rising borrowing rates and a gloominess among Americans about the economic outlook. Last year the economy added a record 6.7 million jobs. So far this year it’s been adding an average of 470,000 a month. Yet the jobs boom might not last. When they met last month the Federal Reserve s policymakers noted that hiring is a lagging indicator of where the economy is headed. And they saw cracks in the job market: The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits is rising. Fewer workers are quitting their jobs to seek better opportunities And job openings, though still quite high by historic levels, are dropping 800,0007600,00054300,000200,00000,00000,00000,000

By: Tracie Moore University of Missouri Ex tension County Engagement Spe cialist in Agriculture & En vironment Equine Leases are coming around to our area more often these days. For a per son or someone with horseloving kid an equine lease in a barn with lessons might be a wonderful way to get ex perience before buying a horse or for the person that does not have the space to own a horse. Leasing a horse can be a way for a horse owner to keep their horse during busy or chal lenging times in their life. Leasing their horse can also help with maintenance costs and keep the horse in physi cal working shape. Just like with leases made for equipment, land, and other livestock there are sev eral types of equine leases and details to think about. A verbal lease agreement is an option, but a written agree ment is better. A written lease agreement does not mean the two parties do not trust each other. It helps get details down in terms who is responsible for what as there is a lot to consider when leasing a horse. It is hard to remember every detail from a conversation yesterday let alone a conversation from a month or a year ago. Most equine leases last six months to a year but can be shorter or longer. A thirty-day lease or month-to-month lease is also common. Equine leases can be full leases or partial, on-site or off-site, as well as a paid or free lease. A full lease usually means the owner does not use the horse and the lessee can use the horse whenever they choose. A partial lease indicates the horse will only be available for use by the lessee part of the time. Normally, with a partial lease the owner will still want to do some riding on the horse as well. If the agreement is going to be a paid lease the lessee pays a fee to use the horse and is usually responsible for cov ering some or all the costs to care for horse. A free lease is not free. In a free lease agreement normally, the les see does not pay a fee but covers all costs to care for theBeforehorse. leasing a horse make sure the match is a good fit for the safety of the horse and lessee. The skill level of the horse and rider should fit. For an example, a beginner rider should not be matched with a green horse that has only been ridden a few times. Also consider what the horse’s job is and does that match with your ideas. If the person leasing the horse wants to barrel race but your horse is good at jumping it might not be a good match.
