Beginning September 27, 2022, the Trenton Mu nicipal Utilities Water Treatment Plant will begin utilizing free chlorine, or a free chlorine conversion, in its water system. This en tails feeding free chlorine, instead of chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia), as the disinfec tant at the leaving the Water Treatment Plant. This will affect customers of Trenton Municipal Util ities, Grundy County PWSD #1, City of Galt, and the City of Spickard. Western Sullivan County will be affected if they areusing water from TMU. This will occur for 6 to 8 weeks.Here are some com monly asked questions about free chlorine conver sion and their purpose:

• Possible Noticeable Effects: There are no asso ciated health risks to the process. During these ef forts to improve water quality, there will be times of lower water pressure, possible odor, taste, discol oration, and small particles in the water. TMU and/or your water service will at tempt to flush the particles, color, and taste and odors from the mains with direc tional flushing, however there is a possibility that some of the color, odor and tastes will get into your service line.

• Is my Water Safe to Drink? Yes, TMU Water Department is dedicated to making sure the water is safe to drink and will mon itor disinfectant levels con tinually during the conversion. If you experi ence odor or taste in your water, it does not mean it is unsafe to drink. Odors are caused by the free chlorine disinfectant cleansing the system. Nuisance issues will go away as the work is completed.• Why is this conver sion necessary? TMU and their customer departments are tasked with ensuring that the water in all points of their systems are accept able to their customers. Over time, minerals, and metals, which are naturally present in the water source, can increase and attach to pipe walls, and release when there are changes in

The minutes, transaction re port and accounts payable report in the amount of $178,680.02 were ap proved.City Administrator Lance Rains led a discussion on the responsible party for the parade security.

In the last two weeks, there have been four water meter sets destroyed. Those sets cost hundreds of dollars to replace and the responsibility of that cost should not be on the City since the crews are not the ones who caused the damage.

The new ordinance will allow for a mistake in damaging the set once per customer. After that, the cost of the replacement will be the property owner’s responsibility. The owner will have 15 days to pay for the dam age before it will be placed on their utility bill. An informational sheet with this new policy and other pol icies already in place will be given as a handout to residents.

that they are still working on changing out meters to put in the new AMI meters. The crew are also working on tree trimming.

In a review of the monthly financial reports, it was noted that everything is on target and budget so far. Some of the depart ment expenses are a little higher than last year and that is simply due to the ris ing prices in supplies.

There was a discussion among the committee on electric prices as no raises have been passed on to the consumer in a few years. The city’s purchase price of electricity has risen ap proximately 25 percent in the last few years and that cost has not been passed on to the customer. The city is also not charging a fee to the customers when they use a credit card to pay their bill or the conven ience fee when they pay the bill online. These two fees are currently paid for by the city. These are items the city will evaluate in the fu ture so that if an increase in electric rates is necessary then it is hoped that it will not be a big Approvalincrease.forthe pur chase of a simplex pump control panel and a lift sta tion replacement pump was given as they had not been ordered but were budgeted for. The committee also agreed to take to the coun cil for approval a bid from Midwest Mechanical to purchase a new HVAC system. The system will cost $7,100 and is needed at the old waterworks building, to replace the one that is not working prop erly, for the equipment that must be in a climate con trolled environment.

Wholesale water rates for water districts outside the city limits was dis cussed. Currently those rates are around 20 percent which is the typical outside city limits rates which makes it infeasible for some districts to be able to annex in. It was discussed on decreasing those rates to around 10 percent over the next five years. It does not cost the city to maintain these lines as the mainte nance is done by the water district itself. It was de cided to take a motion to the city council for ap proval to drop the water rate by 2.6 percent each year for the next five years.

There was discussion again on the construction of a new warehouse build ing to keep all equipment and supplies in a central ized location. It was de cided to table this discussion for now, re-eval uate and possibly wait until next year to purchase.

Urich believes that prices of building materials, which are on a downward trend, may be less expen sive next year and that could save some on the budget.Inthe final business of the evening, it was reported that the original Phase I of the 21 inch sewer lining has been completed. The city has asked for a change order to request an ad ditional 3200 feet to be completed. The contractor has stated the cost would be $470,000 to complete that additional 3200 feet as costs have risen 35 percent since the work began. There is enough money left in the first phase of ARPA funds to complete this proj ect, so the committee agreed to take the motion to the city council for ap proval.

U.S. Senate Candidate Visits Trenton September 9

Trudy Busch Valentine, Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate, was in Trenton on September 9 as part of her RV tour of the state. In introducing her to the crowd at “The Space”, Marie Dolan, chair of the Democratic Central Com mittee, contrasted their backgrounds but empha sized their common values.

Ms. Valentine related that as a young girl she had always wanted to be a nurse and at the age of 13 became a candy striper. When her younger sister was seriously injured in a traffic accident she was at her bedside constantly and that reinforced her desire to become a nurse. This has given her first hand knowl edge and experiences in the field of health. She believes that women should have the right to make decisions regarding their health care.

In her address, and in visiting individually with those present, she ad dressed issues including education and small busi ness development. Her family is avid hunters and she supports 2nd Amend ment rights but believes there are too many military style weapons on the streets. As far as foreign ownership of land and cor porations, she is concerned that foreign ownership, especially that of China, has hurt the agricultural economy.Shestated that there is too much division in our country and that the suc cess of our democracy de pends on protecting voter rights and more coopera tion among elected offi cials. If elected she said, “I will not take corporate money and I will be no body’s Senator but yours.”

On Saturday September 17, Grundy county emergency responders tested responding to a mass casualty incident. As shown by the tragic situation earlier this year near Mendon, disaster can strike anywhere and preparing for such an incident is critical. Despite being shortened by lightning, the event was a success and lessons learned will help all responders in the future.

Over 35 "victims" were provided by North Central Missouri College athletics and nursing programs, as well as nearly 20 volunteers from emergency response partners throughout the region. Grundy County emergency management agency also wants to extend our thanks to Trenton Hy-Vee and Trenton Coca-Cola for pro viding donations to help with the meal afterwards.

Extension Notes

By: Shawn Deering, Field Specialist in Livestock

Covid-19 changed the way most of us do things.

Many of us experienced supply shortages that we had never seen in our life times. With regards to food and food products, the pan demic resulted in increased interest and demand for the purchase of beef, pork and other meat protein sources directly from producers.

While this is a positive for livestock producers inter ested in value-added agri culture, it also has presented challenges. One major issue is that most people are not or were not accustomed to buying meat this way.

They are or were unfamil iar with pricing, processing and expected meat yield. This turn of events also caused real issues for small, local processors trying to meet demand that they were not used to. The state of Missouri has worked hard to try to promote and increase local processing options. Hopefully, many of you have noticed this in the area which you live.

In an effort to help ad dress some of the issues mentioned above, University of Missouri Extension re

cently released a guide sheet titled “5 Steps to Buying Meat Directly from the Farm”. This is an excel lent resource for both the livestock producer and the potential customer. It is an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide that makes the pro cess of purchasing meat di rectly from the farm easier to understand. It also helps the purchaser understand how much product they should expect and the costs associ ated with buying meat pro ducts in this manner.

The guide sheet can be accessed and downloaded for free souriyoursourceTeamontations.processeducateketingproducersrialslentThey“Value-AddedingistsMissouri.www.extension.missouri.eduatInaddition,UniversityofExtensionspecialhavedevelopedaworkgroupthatiscalledtheMeatsTeam”.havedesignedexcelpresentationsandmatetoassistlivestockwithdirectmarmeatproductsandtoconsumersontheandrealisticexpecFormoreinformationtheValue-AddedMeatsorforadditionalrematerials,contactlocalUniversityofMisExtensionOffice.

Green Hills Women’s Shelter

By Kristi Harris R-T Correspondent

The Green Hills Women’s Shelter is a nonprofit agency serving ten counties, including Grundy County. The program is voluntary, and some of the many services include pro viding physical safety, re locating, and offering a safe living space to create opportunities to heal from trauma. Through counsel ing and education on do mestic and sexual violence, participants are educated on violence, such as power and control, and the abuse cycle.The GHWS serves all genders 18 and over and also impacts secondary victims. Children of the participant may be shel tered and have counseling, or the family and friends of the participant can gain education on domestic vio lence to understand the sit uation better. This year, the shelter has served over 30 clients in Grundy County alone.Initial crisis intervention contact is often made when one calls the hotline number, but it could also be when a GHWS advo

cate is called to a hospital to attend a SANE exam. Safety planning is offered, and information is gathered for an assessment to begin residential or non-residen tial services. “GHWS is more behind the scenes,” said Shermy Purdy, GHWS Advocate. “We have very strict confidentiality pol icies that make it less ob vious for others to know what we are doing.” Other services include empower ment, legal and medical advocacy, case manage ment services and collabo ration with other agencies andGHWSresources.empowers par ticipants through goal set ting and having choices. Shermy said, “Goal setting and choices can strengthen and build resilience to navigate the changes ahead. By connecting the participant with resources, and securing housing and income, stability can then begin.”The shelter also pro vides legal advocacy by helping participants file an order of protection and po lice reports if needed. They connect participants with legal representation and

support during court. Med ical advocacy includes connecting the participant to a primary care physi cian, applications for med ical insurance, and attending appointments with participants who have been physically injured due to domestic or sexual abuse.The GHWS provides case management services and life skills such as par enting classes, budgeting, and learning how to drive, to name a few. Shermy said, “We meet the client where they are and walk alongside them as they pro gress forward with hope and healing. The immedi ate crisis need is the focus first, then changing lives with information and giv ing voice to the situation of violence around us. Seek ing accountability and pur poseful work forward is for us Greenall.” Hills Women’s Shelter also collaborates with other agencies and connects participants with resources in the com munity. Shermy went on to say, “Being a part of com munity collaboration links us together, sometimes

with an overlap of services in the community, but when there are persons slipping through is when the collaboration can pull us together. Strengthening and supporting one another can be another great exam ple of skills taught when working with survivors of sexual and domestic vio lence.”Inthe future, GHWS would like to offer training for nurses, law enforce ment, community leaders, and any looking to elimi nate domestic violence. By recognizing patterns and cycles, someone can bring needed intervention and set into place a different out come. Shermy said, “The tragic stories do not have to be the ones talked of most, but the ones coming away from generations of abuse and seeking positive re sults.”Ifyou or someone you know is facing domestic or sexual violence, or for more information, the Green Hills Women’s Shelter hotline is 1-800942-0649 or contact GHWS on their Facebook page ensshelter.@greenhillswom

Special to the R-T by Coach Brad Ewald

It was nice to put two in the win column this week. At the beginning of the first set it seemed

like we were all a little out of sequence hitting. After hitting the first 5 attacks out, the girls did a great job keeping their heads up and doing the little things to get back in control of the ball game.

C team 25-13, 25-18

JV team 25-23, 25-17

The last set we played with mostly subs to get some experience. The girls did a nice job, and it was nice to get them significant time to settle in at that level. “

I really have no use for the British Royal family. While I respect the Queen and understand her passing is historically significant, I think the royals are outdated and Shopper.GreenpublicanPickweek.theyfamilyafternoon.tendn’tMissouri.ourthatHOWEVER,useless.itappearswearedevelopingownroyalfamilyinThisroyalfamilydoes-liveinacastleorat-lavishteasintheNo,thisisintofootballandplayhereeveryIamtalkingaboutthe10ContestintheRe--TimesandHillsWeeklyTheQueenMumofthis
