Downtown Fun In Trenton R-T Photos/Diane Lowrey and Ronda Lickteig

It was a busy Friday in downtown Trenton as the Five Points Alive Group of the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association held its first-ever Chalk on the Walk art event. Youth, teens and adults used water soluble chalk to create artwork on sidewalks along Main Street. Monetary prizes were given to the top two winners in each age group. The youth winners were Alyssa Bunnell, first, “Hummingbird”; and Alexandria Anderson Ely, second, “Rainbow,” above at right. Teen winners were Taylor Richman, first, “Up”; and Cole Soptic, second, “Downtown Trenton 5 Points.” The adult winners were Sheridan Mounce, first, “Trenton Icons”; and Ashlen Busick, second, “Tiles.” The judge’s choice went to Rita Hamilton, above at far left, for her entry, “Bluebird.”

The drawings drew many spectators throughout the day and into the evening when members of the Trenton High School Band, pictured below, at left, performed a concert as part of an ice cream social fundraiser held in Sesquicentennial Park. The band played several selections to a large crowd that gathered to take in the evening activities. Ethan Stewart is the THS Band Director.

SPORTS TRENTON HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

THS FOOTBALL ENTERS IRON AGE Built By Iron, Rooted In Self Belief, New Coach Is The Right Man At The Right Time For Trenton

By Seth Herrold R-T Sports Editor Kevin Hixson lowered himself onto a bench in Des Moines, IA in 2015. Above him, a weight bar bowed as gravity tugged on 408.8pounds of stacked steel. Hixson braced himself, took the weight from its supports and brought it down to his chest. Then, with a surge of energy, he powered the iron skyward.

Trenton High School’s new head football coach - the 33rd in the program’s 100-plus year history - has made a life for himself lifting weights competitively and coaching football.

When Hixson successfully benched 405 pounds that day in Des Moines, he not only won the event, but also set a new record for the 220-pound weight class in his age division.

The journey that Hixson is embarking on at Trenton is not unlike lifting weights. The Bulldogs were Grand River Conference champions just three seasons ago. The team battled to its lone district win since MSHSAA revamped the playoff system in 2012. But Trenton underperformed following its inaugural run in the GRC. The Bulldogs won just four games in 2017 before falling to three wins last year.

Numbers in the program waned. A change was made.

The bar was high and then it came down. Now it’s Hixson’s job to power the bar back up.

“It doesn’t matter if we are getting ready to lift a personal record in a squat or taking over a program that is winning three or four games a year you have got to be confident in what you are doing,” Hixson said. “You have got to exude that confidence to the kids; make them understand we are going to be able to do this without even thinking about it.”

THE NEBRASKA NATIVE Omaha, NE is home for Hixson. He was born and

raised there and returned to spend the last handful of years there as an assistant coach at Omaha Burke High School.

He helped lead the team to a state championship last season at the Class A level - the largest in the Nebraska High School Activities Association.

Hixson was a talented tailback in high school. So much so that he got the opportunity to continue his football playing career at the collegiate level at Peru State in Peru, NE. It was his understanding of the game that caught the attention of his college coaches, however, and got him on the field. He was moved to fullback so he could essentially read the defense and pick the best route through the line for the running back to follow.

“There was a kid from Florida that I played with (at Peru State) and they moved me to fullback and him to tailback,” Hixson said. “He didn’t understand the offense and so I would have to tell him in the huddle, ‘hey Dave, follow me; hey Dave, we are going to the left; hey Dave, we are doing this’.”

Hixson’s knowledge and his love for the game made him a natural to go into the coaching profession.

THE POWERLIFTER Between Hixson’s freshman and sophomore years of high school, he really discovered the weight room. It only took a few sessions in the iron paradise for Hixson to become hooked for life.

“I tell everybody I got bit by the bug,” Hixson said. “All the other kids were out riding their bikes and I was in my basement working out.”

Hixson joined the powerlifting team at his high school and immediately began to have some success. He medaled in the Nebraska State Powerlifting Tournament and has been lifting weights competitively ever since.

Hixson won a national title in the mid 90’s, setting another

PUBLIC AUCTION

record with a total of 1,552 pounds lifted between his squat, bench press and dead lift. The last three years he has been a judge at the Nebraska State Powerlifting Tournament.

“I’ve just been involved in powerlifting my whole life,” Hixson said. “It’s a lot of fun and I still do it.”

THE GRC COACH Omaha Burke is the 13th largest high school in the state of Nebraska, but Hixson is no stranger to life coaching football at a small school. In fact, Hixson isn’t even a stranger to the Grand River Conference.

He spent several years coaching at Gallatin at a time when current Trenton Athletic Director Wes Croy was head coach at Maysville and South Harrison.

“I had the opportunity to get to know Coach Hixson by coaching against his Gallatin teams during my tenure at Maysville and first year at South Harrison,” Croy said.

“At that time every coach in the GRC knew that if you wanted to win a conference title, you had to find a way to beat Gallatin. His teams were always tough and physical, but what I remember most is how hard his kids played for him.

You could tell that they believed in him as a coach and loved being a part of his program.”

But Hixson’s Gallatin teams did not garner that reputation overnight. It took a year or so before Hixson found the right group to buy into his weightsbased plan to build a top-level program.

“We were terrible,” Hixson said. “When I first went to Gallatin they hadn’t done anything. I think they tied for the conference title (four years earlier) and that was like the last winning season they had.

My first year, when I got there, we won one game and that was against Princeton and I think it was in overtime even.”

Every thing came together soon after. Hixson had a group that bought into the weight

room. The parents of the players were on board. Gallatin become something more - a force in the GRC and a perennial state playoff contender.

“They were just relentless in the weight room,” Hixson said of that first group that helped put Gallatin football on the map. “My fourth year there we went to the state quarterfinals and we ended up losing to South Shelby, who went on to win the state championship that year. But those kids were just dedicated and their parents brought them to everything.”

Gallatin entered a five-year stretch where it not only defeated its chief rival, Hamilton, in each of those seasons, but the Hornets didn’t even put a point on the scoreboard against the Bulldogs. Gallatin was rolling along, not losing more than two games a season.

THE PROGRAM BUILDER At Trenton, Hixson will again try to build a Grand River Conference juggernaut.

He believes in the process, he believes in the kids and he believes in himself. But like Gallatin, Trenton features a similar jumping off point. The first hurdle to clear for the new coach will be getting numbers back up in the program.

Trenton had less than 40 out for football at the start of the season last year and by the end, the number was closer to the 20’s than the 40’s. Winning will help. A year after Trenton rolled into the state quarterfinals in 2007, the Bulldogs had 74 players come out for the 2008 season. Trenton will likely never see that number again, but getting numbers up is certainly a possibility - and a necessity.

“I have some expectations, but not unrealistic,” Hixson said. “As a coach, it’s my goal to get our numbers back up.”

The early returns were positive as Hixson greeted potential players late in the school year this spring. There were several students in attendance, a number much higher than the total number of players stand-

ing on the sideline in Macon when Trenton’s 2018 season came to an end.

Numbers remained high in the early portion of the summer weights program in early June before competing summer activities took a toll. With the calendar flipping to July and summer football activities ramping up, Hixson again has his recruiting hat on, looking for as many bodies as he can get on the practice field.

“It’s just like anywhere else, you have got to change; not the entire culture, but just their perspective on winning,” Hixson said. “You know, 95 percent of it is all in your head.

But we are going to try and put our kids in the best position we can and then from there ts just comes down to execution.”

Croy reached out to Hixson when Trenton’s job came open to see if he would be interested in applying. Trenton’s AD had seen firsthand what Hixson built during his days at Gallatin. Hixson was interested and blew the hiring committee away with his presentation.

“I had visited with Coach Hixson on the phone last fall

and knew he was interested in getting back to this area to be closer to family,” Croy said.

“So when our job opened, I reached out to him. My goal was to find someone with experience, a track record of success and the ability to energize our kids in the weight room. I knew Coach Hixson checked all of those boxes. His knowledge and attitude in the weight room will help our programs across the board.”

THE BELIEVER Hixson is ready to work. If the players match his effort, the Bulldogs can expect a quick turnaround from the past two seasons.

“To win the conference, to be in the playoffs, it all just depends on the effort that the kids want to put in,” Hixson said. “If you put in the time and you put in the effort, there is no way you are not going to be successful.”

Hixson has big goals for Trenton to hit. Though he knows it will take time to build the program to what he wants it to be, he believes that it can reach that level. More importantly, he believes in himself.

SEC Media Day

QBs Key In Chase For Title

by The Associated Press Alabama's dominance ranks among the most impressive dynasties in college football history.

It has also made the Southeastern Conference a bit stale recently as the league's 14 teams gather for their annual media days this week in Hoover, Alabama.

This year, though, a group of talented and experienced quarterbacks could lead to a little more drama in the SEC — maybe. Georgia's Jake Fromm, LSU's Joe Burrow, Florida's Feleipe Franks and Texas A&M's Kellen Mond are major reasons those teams feel they have a realistic chance of knocking Alabama off its title perch.

Still, the Tide will once again be regarded as a heavy favorite to win their fifth league title in six seasons.

Coach Nick Saban — now in his 13th season in Tuscaloosa — returns several of his best players, including last year's Heisman Trophy runner-up Tua Tagovailoa.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Tigers heard Kansas City was making a late pitching change about an hour before the first pitch, and what could have caused a bit of anxiety for a bunch of hitters turned out to be a just fine.

Jeimer Candelario hit a bases-clearing double and Gordon Beckham added a two-run homer during a sevenrun third inning, and Detroit pounded Brian Flynn and the Royals 12-8 on Sunday.

Harold Castro had a pair of hits during the marathon fame,

when the Tigers trotted 11 batters to the plate against Flynn, the fill-in starter. The first six reached base safely, and Brandon Dixon and Niko Goodrum also drove in runs before reliever Jorge Lopez finally ended the inning.

"Our mindset is it's the same," said Castro."

Flynn (2-1), who got the start when Homer Bailey was traded to Oakland before the first pitch, was yanked six batters into the third without recording an out. He allowed seven runs on eight hits.

Crawford Is Rotary Speaker Curtis Crawford of the Grundy County Farm Service Agency was the speaker at the Thursday, July 11 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Rick Klinginsmith was the program chairman.

Crawford talked about the newly-approved Farm Bill and changes to programs contained within the legislation. He said that while the Conservation Reserve Program remains basically the same, Grundy County acreage in the program has decreased. As a result, Crawford said a general sign-up is being planned for later this fall.

He said that Grundy County farmers have received around $2.4 million in federal funding paid out in connection with the tariffs placed on farm products by the government. He antici-

pates a similar program being available in the fall for this year’s crop.

Crawford told about emergency conservation programs available in Grundy County to help with acreage damaged by flooding, including money to remove sand from fields, replacement of destroyed fences, etc.

During the business meeting, President Tim Michael distributed the program list for the year and asked members to take note of their assigned date.

Members also discussed upcoming activities, including the fish fry in September and the Missouri Day Parade in October.

Rick Klinginsmith will be the program chairman on July 18.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Public Unions See Only Modest Decline After Court Ruling JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anticipating that the U.S. Supreme Court might end mandatory union fees for public employees, some labor-friendly states enacted laws last year to protect membership rolls while unions redoubled their recruitment efforts.

Those steps appear to have paid off, at least initially.

Union membership among public employees has fallen only slightly in the nation's most unionized states since the Supreme Court ruled a year ago that government workers no longer could be required to pay union fees, according to an analysis of federal data conducted for The Associated Press.

The decline in union membership rates has been larger in states that had previously allowed mandatory fees to be deducted from the paychecks of public school teachers, police and other government workers than in states that had not.

Yet the drop has been less than what some labor leaders had feared following the high court decision, which reversed a 41year-old legal precedent.

"People were saying that we were going to be buried, that this was going to be our death knell, that this was going to destroy public-sector unions in this country. And it did not do that," said Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

"As a matter of fact, I believe that we have a much more engaged membership."

Reinvigorated union membership drives may have staved off some of the anticipated losses. The court ruling came amid a multi-year effort by AFSCME to improve one-on-one communication with current and potential members to build a stronger, more loyal membership. Other public-sector unions undertook similar efforts.

"We went back to basics, re-creating community, engaging with our members," said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. "By and large, they stayed with the union."

The Supreme Court ruled in June 2018 that AFSCME could no longer deduct mandatory fees from Illinois child-support worker Mark Janus, who had declined to join the local union. More broadly, the high court said it violated the First Amendment free-speech rights of public employees to force them to subsidize unions that might push policies they disagree with during contract negotiations.

The ruling struck down what were known as public union "agency fees," which were levied on non-members at rates of around three-quarters of full union dues.

Those fees were required of at least

(

some public employees in about half of all states and the District of Columbia. They were intended to compensate unions for their collective bargaining representation, not their political activities.

Reports filed with the U.S. Department of Labor show AFSCME and the Service Employees International Union lost a combined 209,000 agency fee payers after the Supreme Court ruling. Teachers unions also lost tens of thousands of agency fee payers.

The big question was whether the court ruling also would lead to an exodus of regular union members.

At the request of the AP, economist David Macpherson analyzed state-bystate labor force data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau's monthly Current Population Survey. He compared average public-sector union membership rates after the Supreme Court ruling, from July 2018 through May of this year, to the same 11month period before the ruling.

States that previously allowed mandatory agency fees for at least some public employees had a significantly higher union membership rate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 53 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before the ruling, compared to a 16.6 percent unionization rate in states that did not allow such fees. Since the high court's decision, that average membership rate fell by about 1 percentage point in agency-fees states while dropping just a quarter of a percentage point in the other states.

The decline in the agency-fee states might have been larger except that "some states made it very hard to drop union membership," said Macpherson, chairman of the Department of Economics at Trinity University in San Antonio and co-creator of the website unionstats.com.

In anticipation of the Supreme Court's ruling, Hawaii repealed the ability of union members to halt dues deductions at any time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; instead limiting them to a 30day window before the anniversary of when they signed up.

A New Jersey law narrowed its wideopen revocation window to 10 days each year while also guaranteeing that unions could get the home addresses and personal cellphone numbers of new government employees.

Hawaii's public-sector union membership rate rose almost 2 percentage points since the court ruling while New Jersey's remained relatively flat, declining by less than 0.2 percentage points.

"When Janus was first coming out, people were projecting enormous losses of membership, especially for the public sector. We wanted to make sure that unions had equal footing and access to membership, and obviously it's worked," said

New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney, a vice president of the international ironworkers union, which does not represent public-sector workers.

New York also acted preemptively with a law increasing unions' access to public employees. On the same day as the Supreme Court ruling, California's thengovernor, Democrat Jerry Brown, signed a law requiring public employees to follow the terms of their union agreements when seeking to revoke their membership.

That means Cara O'Callaghan, a University of California, Santa Barbara, employee who joined a union less than a month before the Janus ruling, will have to wait until 2022 to stop her automatic dues deductions.

"I don't think that's fair," she said. "I think anybody should have the choice to be able to join and pay if you wish, and then if you feel at another point that they're not working for you, I think you should be able to quit and not have to pay at any time."

O'Callaghan had been paying agency fees before she said the union enticed her into full membership by explaining that the costs weren't significantly different and that she would also get a life insurance policy. She regretted the move after the Supreme Court decision and has since filed a federal lawsuit seeking to immediately halt her membership dues. It's backed by the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center, the same group that represented Janus.

The Janus ruling specifically applied to union fees paid by non-members. But O'Callaghan's case is one of several citing the ruling while contending that regular public-sector union members also should be able to immediately quit paying dues, despite signing membership agreements that limited their revocation window.

"We've got people all across the country that are in the process of trying to resign from the unions, and the unions are not allowing that to happen," said Janus, who now works for the Liberty Justice Center.

In Illinois, Janus' home state, union membership rates have fallen from roughly half of the public-sector workforce to about 43 percent since the Supreme Court ruling, according to the analysis done for the AP. The specific union that Janus sued, AFSCME Council 31, lost about 7,000 agency fee payers but has gained nearly 2,000 regular members since the ruling, including some who had previously been paying agency fees, said Anders Lindall, the council's public affairs director.

Despite losing the court case, "We're stronger than we were a year ago," he said.

The Trenton Fire Department is seeking volunteer firefighters. Those selected will be trained through the Basic Firefighter course.

Prison Set To Close As Worker Numbers Dwindle JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Missouri prison is closing soon as part of a push to consolidate resources and increase guard pay, staffing and safety.

While the Missouri Corrections Department has not said exactly when the Crossroads Correctional Center in northwest Missouri will close, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch teported that a prison guard union leader said the number of prisoners at the facility is dwindling.

Missouri Corrections Officers Association Executive Director Gary Gross told the newspaper that there are only 100 to 120 inmates still at the prison.

"I think they are really close to shutting it down."

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's administration pushed to close the prison, which could save an estimated $20 million.

The savings are set to be used for staff pay increases.

The hope is that consolidating the maximum-security prison with another one nearby also will address short staffing and improve safety.

Crossroads' closure comes about a year after hundreds ri-

oted over conditions at the prison that were exacerbated by sparse staffing and high employee turnover.

Shuttering the facility is possible partly because of a drop in inmates statewide. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Karen Pojmann said the total statewide prison population was 28,141 as of early July, down from 32,008 in April 2018.

Officials point to recent changes to the state's criminal code and sentencing laws that took effect in 2017, including an end to jail time for firsttime offenders convicted of having small amounts of marijuana.

Missouri already transferred many prisoners from Crossroads to other maximum-security facilities statewide, but some will move to the neighboring Western Missouri Correctional Center.

Both Crossroads and Western Missouri Correctional Center are in Cameron, about 50 miles north of Kansas City.

Western Missouri Correctional Center will be converted to a half maximum, half medium-security prison to accommodate new inmates. Officials budgeted about $3.3 million for extra fencing, razor wire, another observation tower, more patrol vehicles, improved locks and other changes.

Trump Escapes Blame For Ethanol Policy Hurting Corn Farmers DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Midwest farmers and their Republican elected officials rarely miss a chance to shower President Donald Trump with praise when he takes actions they believe help agriculture, but they're now parsing their words over the administration's policies dealing with ethanol.

While they have offered their effusive thanks to Trump for his support for the Environmental Protection Agency to allow year-round sales of E15, a higher blend of ethanol, they have criticized that same agency but not the president over an EPA recommendation that could limit growth of the biofuels industry.

Tom Vilsack, a former U.S. agriculture secretary and Iowa governor, said the mixed policies have caused confusion.

"What we need is a clear indication from the Trump administration consistent with the president's promises that it is in support of the ethanol industry and biofuels industry," said Vilsack, a Democrat.

"You're either with the industry or you're not."

It's hard to overstate the importance in the Midwest of the ethanol industry, which consumes roughly 40% of the nation's corn crop. Corn production has nearly doubled in the past 30 years, and without an ever-larger ethanol market farmers fear demand for the grain could plunge.

With that in mind, Trump has repeatedly told farmers he supported the ethanol industry, and in his push to have the EPA allow more sales of the higher ethanol blend, he's kept his promise. But it's been a different story when it comes to another EPA recommendation.

Last week, the EPA released its annual rule for the level of ethanol that must be blended into the nation's gasoline supply. The 15 billion gallon (56.78 billion liter) target for corn-based ethanol disappointed the industry because many expected the EPA to expand the requirement to offset exemptions given to many fuel refineries that have reduced demand by an estimated 2.6 billion gallons (9.84 billion liters) since Trump took office.

The EPA also ignored a 2017 order from a federal appeals court to restore 500 million gallons (1892.65 million liters) exempted by the EPA from 2016.

For this rule, Republicans chided EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler but not Trump, who appointed the former coal industry lobbyist to head the agency.

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, for example, didn't blame Trump but instead stated, "I urge Administrator Wheeler to reallocate waived gallons and ensure that the agency is giving our farmers and ethanol producers the predictability they need, especially during tough times for agriculture."

U.S. Representative Cindy Axne, a Democrat whose southwest Iowa district includes thousands of farmers and six ethanol refineries, said Trump isn't taking responsibility for policies that hurt farmers already reeling from trade disputes.

"I think that this administra-

tion definitely has an ability to hold the president away from the decisions that the EPA is making and not show them as part of the administration's decision," she said. "It is the administration's decision to allow one of its departments to create policy that does this."

Perhaps the most direct criticism of Trump by a Republican has been by U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, who said some farmers think the EPA is breaking the president's commitments to farmers to uphold the ethanol laws.

"I urge President Trump to compel EPA to reverse course and keep his word to the forgotten Americans who have faithfully stood with him," Grassley said.

Asked whether the president was ultimately accountable, Grassley referenced a phrase displayed on the desk of President Harry Truman.

"I can't help but answer yes to your question because Truman made it very clear the buck stops here," he said.

Harold Wolle, a farmer near St. James in southern Minnesota, said people are disappointed the EPA is letting some refineries reduce their ethanol use.

"The news that I'm reading and hearing is that the president is pushing the EPA to change how it grants these waivers but the proof will be in the pudding. We'll see," said Wolle, a member of the National Corn Growers Association board.

Northwest Iowa farmer Kelly Nieuwenhuis said blame is focusing on the EPA but farmers realize Trump appointed former administrator Scott Pruitt and then named Wheeler.

"There's always politics involved and that's the frustrating part," he said. "It seems definitely that the oil industry has some control over the EPA in our view. It comes down to money, campaign contributions basically."

Nieuwenhuis, 60, who farms 2,100 acres with two brothers growing corn and soybeans, said the EPA doesn't seem to answer to anyone.

The EPA has argued in court that the Clean Air Act gives the agency substantial discretion to decide small refinery exemptions.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, said she's talked with Trump, Wheeler and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue recently about the refinery waivers and the renewable fuel standard, which sets the ethanol limits. She said they understand the concerns of Iowa, the nation's largest ethanol producer and biggest corn grower. She blames the EPA, not Trump.

"I urge EPA Secretary Wheeler to reverse course and uphold President Trump's commitment to rural America by strengthening the RFS and putting an end to the abusive practice of granting waivers to profitable oil refineries," Reynolds said.

Release of the draft rule last week begins a public comment process during which the pressure is sure to increase on the administration to revise the final rule with higher ethanol targets for 2020.

Dear Annie: I am a grandmother who is seeking your advice about my married granddaughter. Her father is my son. Her parents divorced when the children were quite small.

My son was awarded custody of my granddaughter and her brother. We did our best to provide help to our son and the children. The mother has a drug addiction. We provided monetarily, we babysat, took them food and did other similar things to help out.

My granddaughter is now grown and married. During her childhood, she was exposed to a good many things she should not have had to endure. As a result of a lot of pent-up emotions, she will get upset with me about trivial things. For example, once it was raining and I couldn't get the sunroof in her car to close. I pulled the car up to the garage so it wouldn't be rained in from the outside.

After doing this, I threw away some empty plastic drink containers, and she became upset that I had thrown them away.

(This was before she married.

She was living with my husband and me.)

Another time, she threw the clothes I had folded of hers all over the room because she didn't like the way I folded them.

The last incident we had was when I posted a picture of my new great-grandson on the internet. She became irate the other day and sent me a text, asking if I realized that she has three children and if I considered them to be my greatgrandchildren. I told her we cared for the children and loved to see them. She is still angry with me.

She is supposed to come visit soon, though I may not see her. I am the one who has always been there for her. In the past, she would apologize to me and promise not to act that way again. Your advice please.

-- A Faithful Reader

Dear Faithful: You sound very wise. Your granddaughter's angry explosions over what seem like trivial matters are stemming from a deeper rage with which she has yet to deal. It sounds like she is a little hot tea kettle waiting to boil over, and you and others get the burn of her explosions.

She needs the assistance of a professional therapist to help her process some of her childhood trauma. The fact that you understand this about her will allow you to have compassion and empathy without allowing yourself to be a doormat. By all means, see her when she visits and remind her of how much you love her, which you obviously do.

Dear Annie: There are many suburban areas where street parking is uncommon, and parking in front of your neighbor's house is considered poor manners. Many homeowners' associations discourage extended street parking, and some prohibit it altogether. One's guests should park in their host's driveway or in front of their host's yard, overflowing in front of the neighbors' yards only when necessary.

There is a family in our neighborhood that has four vehicles, yet the drivers only park two of them in the driveway and garage. There is plenty of room. They have a four-car driveway and a two-car garage.

But they park their two older vehicles in front of their neighbor's yard. That's just bad manners. -- Not So Neighborly Dear Not So Neighborly: Thank you for pointing out what is good suburban parking etiquette.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are very close. We have been married for 27 years and agree on most things and share many common interests. There is only one issue where we differ, and I'd like to hear suggestions for how I can help him to

change, so he will join me in my daily walks.

I love to walk, and I make it a point to walk at least two miles every day. My parents walked together every night after dinner, and they lived into their 80s and had a very close marriage. My brother and I joined them many nights when we were younger, and I have great memories of that family time together.

Every time I ask my husband if he will join me, he says that's for me, not him.

I've told him that walking makes me feel so good. It helps with my digestion. It helps me sleep better. I keep my figure better because of walking. My doctor says I am in good shape largely because of my two-mile daily walk. If it is raining or snowing, I simply dress for the weather and go forward every night. I always imagine how much fun it would be if my husband were with me each night instead of sitting at home watching television.

Lately, he has been complaining that his joints are sore.

When he gets up after sitting, it always takes a while before he is steady on his feet, and I am convinced that his joints would be much more limber if he were to join me on my daily walks.

If you or any of your readers have suggestions for how I can motivate him to join me, please let me know. -- Walking Alone Dear Walking Alone: Congratulations on all that walking!

Our joints love movement, and you have found an ideal exercise for you. The key is to have your husband believe that walking is ideal for him, too, and that is not so easy. Look for walking trails in your neighborhood and see if taking him into new scenery sparks his interest in walking. Is he a dog lover?

Adding a four-legged member to your family has been shown to help people lose up to 10 pounds in the first year because of all that walking. Consider visiting your local animal shelter to adopt, or to foster or volunteer to walk, a furry friend.

Powell’s big bet Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is making a bet that inflation no longer responds to unemployment the way it has in the past — and his wager likely means the Fed will keep rates lower for an indefinite period. In fact, investors now expect the Fed to cut rates at its next meeting July 30-31.

In two days of testimony before Congress, Powell said that very low unemployment, such as the current jobless rate of 3.7%, doesn’t necessarily spur faster inflation. In the past, employers typically

responded by raising pay to attract and keep workers, and then lifted prices to offset the cost.

But Powell said that relationship — what economists call the “Phillips curve” — has “gotten weaker and weaker and weaker to the point where it’s a faint heartbeat.”

The last extended period of very low unemployment in the U.S., in the late 1960s, was followed by more than a decade of high inflation. But unemployment has now stayed below 5% for roughly three years and yet inflation has mostly stayed below the Fed’s 2% target.

Dorothy Taul At MSBA Meeting Dorothy Taul, a member of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education and the Missouri School Boards Association Region 2 board member, attended the July 12-13 MSBA meeting in Kansas City.

Training included session on ways to stand up for students, continuing school improvement, school safety, student achievement, MSIP 6 and accountability.

Susan Payne spoke to board members about school violence prevention, covering topics including fights, bullying, suicide, sexting, tornadoes, gun violence and other harmful incidents. She said schools should have safe and anonymous ways for students, staff and patrons to report any safety concerns they have and that students should be educated on what to look for and ways to report any safety concerns. She suggested each school district set up a threat assessment and risk assessment team to assess students who have suicidal thoughts/attempts or continual or severe behavior issues.

The next MSBA meeting will be at the annual conference on Sept. 27-29.
