Building Board Meets

Bids, Ordinances Are Approved Bids were accepted and ordinances approved by the Trenton City Council during a meeting on Monday night. All votes were 8-0.

Two of the bids involved projects within Trenton Municipal Utilities. Midwest Injection of Cascade, IA was awarded the bid for lime sludge removal at a cost of $49.50 per ton for removal of 1,401 to 2,000 tons. The company will be responsible for finding land on which the sludge is to be placed. It was the only bid received.

Velodyne of Louisville, CO was awarded the bid for a carbon feed system at the water plant which is being installed to address smell and taste issues with the water. The bid was for $25,863, with money for the work to come from leftover funds from a pipe replacement project at the water plant.

US Bancorp was awarded the bid to finance a 3/4-ton 4x4 crew cab truck for the fire department to replace the Suburban currently being used by Fire Chief Brandon Gibler.

The bid was 3.39 percent and was the lowest of three received. The city had budgeted $35,000 for a replacement vehicle and, according to City Administrator Ron Urton, the cost of the truck through the state bidding process is around $33,000. The truck will be financed over a three-year period. Other bids were received from Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri of Trenton and Home Exchange Bank of Jamesport.

The council approved Red Rock of Hamilton as the contractor for the 2019-20 demolition project. The Building

and Nuisance Board had recommended the bid from Red Rock, which was the lowest of three received. The $86,375 bid was for 15 structures and it was noted that not all structures will be done due to a limited amount of city money available. Code Enforcement Officer Donnie Vandevender said five property owners have signed letters of intent to provide some of the funding to have their structures torn down. All 15 owners will be contacted to get a final number before the Building and Nuisance Board selects which structures will be taken down.

The city has $30,000 budgeted for the work and has pledged up to $2,500 per structure to match funds provided by individual property owners. In addition to Red Rock, bids were received from HF Excavating of Cainsville and Truitt Dirt Works of Linneus.

Three ordinances were approved by the council, including one authorizing a contract with Boone Construction of Columbia for replacement of the 17th Street Bridge. The council selected Boone for the work at its Sept. 9 meeting at a cost of $2,339,736.75. Urton noted the Missouri Department of Transportation and Union Pacific Railroad have both signed off on the Boone bid, which was the lowest received. Funding for the project is coming from the city’s transportation tax along with money from Union Pacific, money from the Missouri Department of Transportation and a Community Development Block Grant.

NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI COLLEGE

Drop In Student Numbers, Hours

Enrollment Won’t Affect Revenue While a decrease in enrollment at North Central Missouri College is disappointing, it was not unexpected and shouldn’t affect revenue projections, according to information presented to college trustees at a meeting held on Tuesday evening.

Fall enrollment numbers show a decrease in head count of 4.8 percent and a decrease in credit hours of 3.6 percent.

NCMC President Dr. Klaver, who said credit hours are what generate revenue, indicated that credit hours generated through on-line enrollment is up 5.3 percent, mirroring the decrease in what he termed “in-seat” enrollment. Other figures released include a 12.6 percent increase in returning students, a 67-student decrease in new freshmen, a 34-student decrease in transfer students and a 1.1 percent increase in

non-traditional students.

Dr. Klaver listed several factors that have resulted in the decrease, including an increased presence of Hillyard Technical School and Metropolitan Community College in St. Joseph, the largest graduating class in history in the spring of 2016 and declining demographics in the region, state and midwest. He noted that the good news is that despite the declines, revenue projections should be largely on target due to on-line enrollment, nursing students and an uptick in some of the customized training programs. As he has said in the past, Dr. Klaver told trustees that if the college is going to continue its recent growth, an emphasis will need to be placed on new academic programs, new cocurricular (tied to an academic program) and extra-curricular

programs, new residence halls, a new student center and looking at a new recruiting strategy for international students.

Dr. Klaver also presented a preliminary campus master plan concept and summary.

Phase I would include construction of a new residence hall facility and two new student parking lots, including one south of Geyer Hall. Phase II would include demolition of the Main Street buildings and the current Selby Hall residence hall, as well as construction of a new dining hall, student commons and campus store. Phase III would include the demolition of Ellsworth Residence Hall and the construction of a new residence hall facility. Phase IV would include an addition to the Ketcham Community Center that would house an auxiliary gym and new locker rooms,

Farm Manager In 42nd Year With University Of Missouri

Schreffler Is Key To Operation Editor’s Note: The annual Thompson Farm Field Day was held earlier this week near Spickard (photo on page 6).

For the past 42 years, Jon Schreffler has been involved in getting the farm ready for visitors who make the trek to learn about University of Missouri agriculture research. He currently serves as the farm manager.

By Logan Jackson MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources On April 10, 1978, Jon Schreffler drove up to the Thompson Research Center to begin his first day at his brand new, parttime job. The soon-to-be 19-year-old was offered a full-time position just five months later.

As the calendar turned to 2019, Schreffler began his 42nd year as an employee at the Thompson Research Center. He has served in a variety of capacities and roles during his tenure, including farm manager of the center since 2010.

“When you’re young, responsibility helps you grow up,” Schreffler said. “I was just a kid when I started at Thompson, and I had kid habits. But as I got more involved, I was trusted with more and was depended on to accomplish certain tasks.

That changed me. I was able to grow into

each role.

“I also think there’s a lot to being loyal.

If you care about what you’re doing, you’ll take ownership of it. That was also preached to me and I’ve tried to live it out.”

Schreffler grew up on a farm and was familiar with the agriculture scene, so the work at Thompson was an easy transition.

Schreffler even forwent his senior year of high school to begin his job at Thompson full-time.

“It was a dream job,” Schreffler said. “I fit right in. Working with cattle was all I ever knew – I honestly don’t remember my life without cows.”

The Thompson Research Center was established in 1955 through the will of Dr. George Drury, a retired dentist. The 1,600acre Research Center focuses on beef cattle production systems and crops management. Animal projects evaluate the efficiency and economics of cow-calf management practices, steer/heifer backgrounding, and cattle finishing options.

The mission of the Center is the development, evaluation and dissemination of technical information for beef herd management using multi-disciplinary approaches for Missouri and regional audiences. To accomplish the mission, re-

The high at Trenton on Monday, Sept. 23 was 79, Tuesday’s high was 81 and Wednesday’s high reached 80, with a low of 62. A total of .05 of an inch of rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday. The high on Wednesday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 78, the low was 52.

The Grundy County Commission, during its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday, has determined that an effort to dissolve the Spickard Special Road District can only move forward if a new petition is presented.

While additional legal advice is still being sought, it has been determined that the original petition that was presented earlier in the month is not the one required by Missouri statutes. That petition contained the names of registered voters in the district, however, the correct statute under which a petition can be filed to dissolve the district will require that it be signed by resident landowners representing ownership of the majority of acreage located within the district.

While the total amount of acreage located within the district is 689, it will have to be determined how many of those acres are owned by persons who live within the district.

In addition, there is a question as how to handle acreage owned by the Spickard R-2 School District, the City of Spickard, churches, etc. Commissioners will continue to gather information on the subject.

In other business, Presiding Commissioner Phil Ray said the county road and bridge crew was working this week to repair the fill on the backwall of a bridge in Liberty Township that was damaged due to flooding.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

Trenton Bulldogs 10, Lawson Cardinals 3

Maci Moore Sets All-Time Mark, Bulldogs Top Lawson, 10-3 The coaches, players and fans of the Trenton High School softball team have been speculating for a while now when, not if, Maci Moore would break Salem Croy’s all-time home run record for the program.

Trenton has a rich softball tradition.

The program is littered with all-state players but, on Monday night in Lawson, Moore hit a ball over a fence for the 20th time in her career.

No Trenton Bulldog has ever done that before.

Moore, who leads off for THS, hit one of three home runs for the visiting Bulldogs, who left town with a 10-3 victory over the host Cardinals.

“There is a reason why we put Maci where we put her (in the lineup),” Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. “She is seeing the ball really, really well. To break the record of most career home runs, with the girls that have been in this program, is a really big deal and we talked about celebrating that as a team.”

Trenton had plenty to celebrate in the win over Lawson as Lexi Whitaker tallied her 13th home run, good for third on Trenton’s all-time list, and Teya Cooksey blasted her first career long ball.

Cooksey was four-for-four at the plate, adding a triple, and had four

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF Putnam Co. Midgets 225, Trenton Bulldogs 228

Golfers Just Miss Dual Victory In Unionville The Trenton High School girls golf team showed marked improvement on Monday in a dual with the Putnam County Midgets in Unionville. At the end of the nine-hole battle, however, Trenton was on the losing end, 228-225.

Maci Henson broke 50, shooting a 49 to claim medalist honors at the dual. Mari Atup carded a career-low score of 57 for another highlight for the Bulldogs, whose team total was rounded out by a pair of 61’s from Oakley Madden and Josie Chumbley.

“It was a pretty good day for the girls,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said.

With the three-stroke loss, Trenton fell to 2-5 overall in duals.

Trenton returned to the links on Thursday, competing in the Chillicothe Tournament. The Bulldogs will be in tournament action again next Monday, competing in the Grand River Conference Tournament. That event tees off at 9 a.m.

TMS Football Dealt Loss The Trenton Middle School football team was defeated for the first time this season, falling 20-0 to Putnam County on the road in Unionville on Monday.

Trenton, playing without a handful of starters injured last week against Gallatin, struggled to hold on to the ball, fumbling four times. Putnam County returned the game’s opening kickoff for a touchdown and held the 6-0 edge into the third quarter before Trenton’s defense allowed a touchdown for the first time all night. The Midgets added one more score in the fourth quarter to win by the 20-0 margin.

"I’m proud of our effort on defense this evening,” Trenton Head Coach Jon Guthrie said. “(Assistant) Coach Trey Shields had a good defensive plan, and is doing a great job.

The defense held Putnam to only 2.1 yards per carry. We need to continue to improve, though, on our pass defense.”

Offensively, Gabe Stark led Trenton in the absence of leading rusher Gabe Novak, going for 128 yards. Brayden Hughs added 53 yards on the ground.

Trenton fell to 2-1 overall with the loss. The Bulldogs will host Princeton next Monday at 5 p.m.

Trenton’s junior varsity team was also shut out in Unionville on Monday, falling 24-0. Trenton’s JV, now 1-2 overall, will also host Princeton next Monday at C.F. Russell Stadium.

Arneson Wins Grand Prize Trenton’s Arnie Arneson is the grand prize winner of the weekly Power Points contest for week three. Arneson tallied 124 of the possible 136 points to claim both the $30 local prize and the $500 national prize.

Local sponsors of the Power Points contest include ServeLink, T&L Auto, Hy-Vee, Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri, Barnes-Baker and Chumbley’s.

Armwrestlers See Action Local father and son armwrestling duo David and Eric Cunningham recently competed at a pair of tournaments.

They were in Blue Springs for the Fallen Heroes Tournament on Sept. 21 and in O’Fallon for the Missouri State Championships on Sept. 7.

In Blue Springs, David Cunningham placed second in both the right- and left-hand divisions of the 200-pound Masters Class - 40-and over age group. Eric Cunningham was third in the 150-pound pro class and third in the 230-pound amateur class. Garrett Lowe, traveling with the Cunninghams, placed first in the right-hand division of the 150pound amateur class and third in the left-hand division of the 150-pound amateur class.

The Fallen Heroes Tournament had 312 total entries, making it the largest armwrestling tournament in the Midwest. Proceeds from the event benefit families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty.

At the event in O’Fallon, David Cunningham was first in the 200-pound-and-under Masters Class in both the rightand left-hand divisions. He was also second in both the right- and left-hand divisions in the 200-pound-and-over Masters Class. Eric Cunningham, meanwhile, was first in the 150-pound Pro Class right-hand division and third in the 176-pound Pro Class right-hand division.

RBIs in the win. Whitaker was threefor-four with two runs scored and three RBIs. “Teya getting her first home run was really cool,” Hultman said. “She was four-for-four with four RBIs and a triple, so it was a really special night for her. Lexi’s home run was a major league home run. I looked up and I was like ‘wow, that is hit high and far.’ Lexi is staying hot, so that is really good for our offense.”

Moore ended up three-for-five with two runs and two RBIs. McKayla Blackburn also had a multi-hit game, collecting two hits and scoring two runs.

In the circle, Blackburn threw all seven frames, allowing three runs, two earned, on six hits and one walk while striking out 10.

“Coming off a weekend and playing on Monday, as a coach, you don’t like it,” Hultman said. “You would much rather play with a practice in front of it, but the girls came out right at the beginning and put some runs on the board. They did a nice job of having good at bats and then in the circle, McKayla did well. Defensively we had a great game up until the seventh inning, where we had some miscues, so we need to clean that up.”

Trenton improved to 8-4 overall

JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity fell 5-2 in Lawson, going to 3-5 overall on the season with the loss.

Jenna Harris allowed three runs, two earned, while striking out four in three innings of work. Jaycie Griffin threw the final two innings, allowing two runs.

Trenton’s Grand River Conference finale at Milan was postponed on Tuesday due to a water main break in Milan. The Bulldogs made that game up on Thursday and will be at the NCMC Nan Carter Tournament on Saturday in Trenton.

Trenton 8, Lafayette 1

CAUSING A RACQUET Trenton Wins Last Regular Season Home Dual, 8-1 At 4-3 overall, Trenton’s high school girls tennis team is one of just two teams from Class 1, District 15 with a winning record. Another home dual is almost assured in district play.

But on Tuesday, Trenton played the final home dual of its regular season schedule.

Trenton honored its lone senior, Kendall Crowley, before the match. The team donned pink t-shirts for breast cancer awareness and, almost lost in the emotions of the day, demolished visiting St. JosephLafayette by an 8-1 score.

“It was an emotional, fun night,” Trenton Head Coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “We observed breast cancer awareness by playing a Pink-Out match. Kendall Crowley was also recognized for senior night.”

Crowley took the team’s lone loss in the dual, falling 98 in her number two singles match. It was the closest match of the day, one that saw a tiebreaker in which the Trenton senior came up just short, but not before the two players contested 22 tiebreaker points.

In the end, Crowley fell 12-10.

But Crowley did score a win on her senior night in doubles play, combining with Lexi Gott for an 8-2 win. There is also the almost-inevitable district dual where Crowley will get another couple of matches on the court she has called home for her entire high school career.

The doubles win by Gott and Crowley was the first of three as Gwyneth Foster and Mallory Sole picked up an 8-1 win and Morgan Dolan and Alaina Overton won 8-2.

Trenton swept the singles matches outside of Crowley’s.

Gwyneth Foster returns a serve during her doubles match on Tuesday at the THS tennis courts. Foster teamed up with Mallory Sole for the doubles win and also got an 8-6 singles victory as Trenton scored an 8-1 dual win over Lafayette.

Gott was an 8-1 winner at number one and Foster won 86 at number three. Sole and Overton each won 8-0 at numbers four and six, respectively, and Dolan picked up an 8-1 win at number five.

In the lone JV match of the dual, Baley Catron picked up a 6-3 singles win. vs. MARYVILLE When Crowley picked up an 8-1 win over her Maryville opponent in singles play on Monday, it gave Trenton a 4-0 lead over the visiting Spoofhounds.

Crowley’s singles win, combined with a Trenton sweep of doubles action, put the Bulldogs one win away from clinching the victory over a team they have battled at districts in each of the previous four seasons.

One victory proved to be elusive.

Despite leading at points during multiple remaining matches, Trenton couldn’t quite pull out the win it needed as Maryville rallied for the 54 dual win.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

Sole and Overton both dropped 8-6 decisions and Gott fell 8-5. Dolan was defeated 8-4 and Foster lost 8-3 as Maryville stole the win.

It was a sad end to a day that began so promising in the doubles portion of the dual. Gott and Crowley were 8-3 winners and Foster and Sole teamed for an 8-4 victory. Dolan and Overton rounded out doubles play by putting Trenton ahead 3-0 with a 9-7 win.

“We started off strong winning all three doubles matches,” Ockenfels said.

“Kendall Crowley dominated in her singles match. Her serves were powerful and she had excellent placement on her shots.”

In junior varsity action against Maryville, Trenton finished 3-3. Harley Hall and Kaylor Farris won 6-2, Jillian Voorhies and Lydia Leininger won 7-6 and Faith Lee and Kayleigh Streett won 4-0. Also in action for the Trenton JV were Baley Catron and Emilee Lovell, who fell 7-6 (7-5);

Leslie Cotiangco and Amanda Parrack, who lost 6-3 and Jessika Kennedy and Chloie Hall, who were defeated 4-1.

BENTON TOURNAMENT Trenton wrapped up a busy week on Wednesday, traveling to St. Joseph for the Benton Tournament. Trenton went 1-2 at the event, placing fourth as a team.

Trenton opened the event with a 3-2 win over Benton but dropped the semifinal matchup against St. Pius X, 5-0. That place Trenton in the thirdplace match where the Bulldogs fell to Savannah 4-1 to wind up fourth.

Foster and Sole led Trenton at the event, going 2-1 on the day in doubles play. Gott and Crowley and Dolan and Overton were all in doubles play for Trenton as well and both duos finished the event 1-2 overall.

In singles play, Baley Catron and Emilee Lovell both went 0-3.

Trenton returns to St. Joseph on Monday for a dual with the Benton Cardinals at 4 p.m.

Trenton Bulldogs 2, Hamilton Hornets 0

Volleyballers Avenge Early Defeat When the Trenton High School volleyball team fell in straight sets to the Hamilton Hornets last week, it marked just the second time since Hamilton’s program formed that the Bulldogs were defeated by the Hornets. Even in a rebuilding year for Trenton, it was a blow.

Luckily, Trenton didn’t have to wait long for revenge.

The Bulldogs traveled to Hamilton on Tuesday, avenging last week’s loss with a 25-8, 19-25, 26-24 victory.

“We went to Hamilton and played well,” Trenton Head Coach Pam Bowden said. “We practiced hard yesterday and the girls did some great things to get another win. (Assistant) Coach (Rebekah) Wiggins and I are very proud of the effort and determination from the girls.”

Libby Fewins served up seven aces in the win and also tallied three kills and a dig. Evy McCullough had three kills and three blocks and Allena Allen added two aces, a kill and three digs. Ava Simpson

led in assists with eight and Trenton also got a kill and a dig from Jessa Shipley and an ace and two digs from Olivia Roberts.

The win moved Trenton to 4-10 on the season.

In junior varsity action, Trenton defeated Hamilton 25-22, 25-19. Mackenzee Epperson had three aces and two kills and Lilly Berti had three aces as well. Faith Baker and Jamie Burkeybile added two and one aces respectively.

In the C game, Trenton split sets, falling 25-13 in the opener before bouncing back with a 27-25 win in the second. Tierney Doolittle had three aces, Haley Shultz had two aces and Sarah Washburn finished with one ace.

LATHROP TOURNAMENT Trenton was at the Lathrop Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 21, going 1-4 on the day. Trenton opened with pool play losses to Mid-Buchanan and WellingtonNapoleon. Mid-Buchanan handled Trenton 25-16, 25-5 and Wellington defeated

the Bulldogs 25-15, 25-11.

Trenton followed up the two losses with a 25-21, 25-20 loss to Lathrop before picking up the lone win of the day, a 2522, 18-25, 25-22 victory over Plattsburg.

The final match of the day saw Trenton fall to Lathrop for a second time, this defeat coming by a 25-15, 25-19 score.

Trenton was led on the day by McCullough, who had 14 kills, six aces and three blocks in the five matches combined. She had a career-high 10-kill game in the three-set victory over Plattsburg. Allen went for six aces, three kills, three digs and an assist at the tournament and Fewins finished the five matches with five kills, three aces, two assists and a block.

Simpson added four assists, an ace and a dig and Roberts and Mackenzie Klinginsmith had three kills each.

Trenton’s volleyball teams will be at home on Monday, playing host to Brookfield. Action tips off with lower varsity tilts at 5 p.m. and the varsity will follow.

In the offseason, the Trenton Bulldogs and Princeton Tigers each found themselves searching for a new football coach. Both schools found their guy, but as the two teams ready themselves to collide tonight (Friday) at C.F. Russell Stadium in Trenton’s homecoming, they find themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum.

For Trenton, the start to the Kevin  Hixson era has been rocky. The Bulldogs are 0-4, still hunting their first win. Turnovers have continued to plague Trenton’s offense, which has scored just 11.5 points per game this season.

Meanwhile, just to the north, Princeton has enjoyed three straight wins following a season-opening loss to state-ranked Mid-Buchanan. Nathan Powell’s Tigers are coming in fresh off defeating reigning Grand River Conference champion Milan last week in the Tigers’ own homecoming.

For Trenton, hope lies in the second half of last week’s game, a 3026 loss at Putnam County. Trenton trailed 30-12 after the first half, but outscored Putnam County 14-0 in the second half. The rally would not be enough to get Trenton into the win column, but it did show signs that the Bulldogs are starting to turn the corner. The Bulldogs know to beat Princeton on Friday, it’s going to take more than just one good half and Trenton will need its ‘A’ game for the full contest. “We talked about it last week, we’ve talked about it every week - we have to play for 48 minutes,� Trenton Head Coach Kevin Hixson said. “We’ve got to come to the fight for 48 minutes. We didn’t (last week), that’s the bottom line. We have to come and execute offensively for 48 minutes and then we have to play physical de-

fense.�

In the loss at Putnam, Trenton posted its highest point total of the season, largely in part to finally getting its running game up and going. Jaren Whitney rushed for a career-high 242 yards and Mark Trump added 170 yards on the ground. Nights like that start up front and Trenton will lean on its offensive line again this week, hoping a repeat rushing performance will be good enough to get win number one. “We talked to our offensive line and, when you have a back that rushes for 100 yards, the line should get 50 percent of the credit,� Hixson said. “We had two backs who rushed for over 100 yards and Jaren had over 200. The backs are doing a hell of a job and the line is doing a pretty decent job up front, too. That whole 400yards of total offense last week was a tribute to that offensive line and their effort.�

Trenton’s line will get a good challenge this week in Princeton. The Tigers will be undersized up front against Trenton, but Hixson points to the Tigers’ skill in the trenches as one of the strongest points of the Princeton club. “I think (Princeton) is pretty balanced,�

Hixson said. “They play hard and they are coached well up front. They do some good things on that offensive and defensive line.

Overall, I think they are a pretty good team.�

Princeton Head Coach Nathan Powell is also looking at the line of scrimmage as one of, if not the biggest, keys to the game. “Without question, the line of scrimmage will be the tipping point,� Powell said. “For us to be successful we have to be the more physical team upfront. With the way both teams want to run the ball, that’s the key matchup to watch. “I feel really good about the momentum we have been building and I am pleased with the balance we have had with our backs running the ball.�

While Trenton has a pretty good one-two punch in the backfield with Whitney and Trump, Princeton has a number of options who could carry the ball.

Ben Berwanger has been the top rushing threat for the Tigers, averaging over 100 yards per game. He has 412 yards and five touchdowns through four games, carrying the ball 48 times. Eli Henke has put up some big games with 95 or more rushing yards on two separate occasions.

Princeton will also give the ball to Justin Rhoades, Andrew Rhoades or Ethan Glenn.

In last week’s emotional win over Milan, both Berwanger and Henke were over 100 yards on the ground. That victory, as big as it was, will have to be placed firmly in the rearview mirror as Powell looks to keep his team from a hangover effect this week against Trenton. “Coming off our win last week, the threat of having an emotional letdown is obviously something we have focused on,� Powell said. “We have been working since our June camp at trying to keep an even keel and not let ourselves get too high or too low, no matter the circumstances. You can’t let the uncontrollables overtake you. We preach the process of being fundamentally sound in all three phases on a daily basis and the kids have really embraced it. We can’t control what our opponents are doing so we focus on the same things every day and just try and do our jobs better than the other guys do theirs.�

Princeton has won the last two meetings between the two teams, including last year’s 28-21 win at Eddie Allen Field.

OP/ED

The Final Word

by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

OATS Decision Baffling Maybe it’s just me, but I fail to see how the recently announced changes to the OATS Transit scheduling procedures are “more efficient.”

Last week, OATS announced that as of Oct. 1, persons using its transportation services will need to schedule rides at least 24 hours in advance and will have to call the St. Joseph office rather than schedule the rides locally. In addition to trips to Chillicothe, Kansas City and St. Joseph, which take place periodically during the month, the change also affects the Diane Lowrey local route, which runs daily - Monday through Friday.

I understand the change involving the out of town routes to Chillicothe, Kansas City and St. Joseph and scheduling those trips at least 24 hours ahead of time certainly makes sense. The one I don’t understand is the local route change.

Currently, persons riding the route within the city limits can call the local office at any time during the day to have the bus pick them up and take them where they need to be. Now, those same rides will have to be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of time.

For some residents of Grundy County, the OATS bus is the only transportation they have available to them. It gets used for doctor’s appointments, grocery store visits, etc. While the 24-hour scheduling requirement might be doable for such things as doctor’s appointments, visits to the bank and going to the grocery store, what about those trips that come up at the last minute? What if a doctor calls in a prescription for a person and that medication is needed right away? If they are an OATS user, they would have to schedule a ride through the St. Joseph office, then wait 24 hours for the bus to come so they can go pick it up.

Community Food Pantry personnel have also expressed a concern regarding food items that are brought in at the last minute for distribution. Many times those items are available for one day only and many of the persons who qualify to receive them use OATS as a way to get to the pantry to pick them up. With the 24hour scheduling requirement, those individuals would be unable to pick up what could be much-needed food for their family.

And I’m sure there are other examples that I haven’t even thought about.

If you have a concern about this issue, I would suggest you contact your representatives, both on the state and national level. While the changes do involve decisions being made by state OATS officials, money to help run the system comes from local, state and federal funding sources. Their addresses appear elsewhere on this page. ********** There’s still time to sign up for the eighth annual Wright Run 5K/10K, which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5. This year’s event theme is “Cancer Awareness,” with special emphasis on breast cancer. In addition to the run, persons will be able to purchase special edition breast cancer awareness bricks, which can be personalized to memorialize and/or celebrate a loved one who has battled or is currently battling breast cancer. The bricks will be placed in a seating area to be constructed along the hospital’s walking trail.

Proceeds will be used to support the newly-formed Oncology Nurse Navigator Program at Wright Memorial Hospital, which was the topic of a story appearing in the Tuesday, Sept. 23 edition of the Republican-Times. The cost is $25 to participate in the run, which begins with registration at 7 a.m. and the race at 8 a.m. Registration forms are available at Premier Eye Care, Hy-Vee, Hometown Pharmacy and the hospital.

What Others Are Saying...

Mourn The Last One, Help The Next One We may never truly know the backstory of the man who was found dead in the parking lot outside the Veterans Affairs clinic in St. Joseph.

Guest Editorials Some of the facts, though, fill in heartbreaking details of one Vietnam veteran's final hours. On Sept. 12, the man walked into the VA outpatient clinic on the South Belt Highway and filled out paperwork to begin receiving care. VA officials described him as polite and appreciative, with no outward signs of distress. Clinic officials scheduled an office appointment and made plans to get in contact with him.

The next morning, at about 7:20 a.m., a staff member found this veteran in a car parked at the clinic. Authorities said he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He apparently died alone.

VA officials have initiated the process to get this veteran buried at Leavenworth National Cemetery, so that he may never again be alone. This is appropriate for someone who deserves the honor of resting among those who gave a similar sacrifice to our country.

Perhaps the time will come to uncover this veteran's identity and give full recognition. We choose not to pursue that angle, both out of respect for privacy, but also because anonymity speaks powerfully to the shared pain that exists among so many veterans who are still

The third ordinance involved a change order with M&M Utilities of Chillicothe for pipe replacement and ditch work on a sewer/ditch crossing in the Normal Street sewer rehabilitation project. The change order was for $41,200.

The council held a brief discussion regarding interest in developing a dog park. Councilman Brad Chumbley asked members of the public to let their council representative know if they have an interest and, if enough interest is shown, he would meet with the park department.

The board voted to allow Board President Don Dalrymple to appoint a lay committee to review and suggest possible changes to the existing policies for recognition of donors/naming opportunities.

in our midst.

At Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier compels us to not only contemplate those who are interred in the vault. This stark and somber monument forces us to comprehend the numbing reality that some are forever entombed in the Flanders mud or the depths of the Pacific Ocean. For a moment, those lost in the fog of war are not forgotten.

This Vietnam veteran should never be forgotten, but let's also remember that his personal anguish is, tragically, not an isolated outcome of war. Too many of our service members, from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, are lost to suicide. A VA report found more than 6,000 veteran suicides a year from 2008 to 2016, with an alarming increase for those between the ages of 18 and 34.

"We ask anyone who will listen to join us in trying to help stop the next heartbreak, the next horrible outcome, the next loss to suicide," Joseph Burks, public affairs officer for the VA Eastern Kansas Health System, wrote in an e-mail. Burks suggests putting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number, 800-273-8255, on your mobile phone.

Let's also take the time to lift our eyes from our phones and look for signs of trouble. Let's ask our veterans, and any of our friends and neighbors, if everything is OK. This is a time to mourn, but it's also a catalyst to be on guard for the next one.

Temperatures last week averaged 78.3 degrees, 12.7 degrees above normal.

Precipitation averaged 0.61 inches statewide, 0.33 inches below normal. There were 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sept. 22.

Topsoil moisture supply was rated 4 percent very short, 18 percent short, 69 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus.

Subsoil moisture supply was rated 2 percent very short, 11 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus.

Corn dented progressed to 88 percent, while corn matured progressed to 54 percent, 34 percentage points behind last year. Corn harvested for grain progressed to 15 percent. Corn condition was rated at 4 percent very poor, 15 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 39 percent good and 4 percent excellent.

Soybeans setting pods progressed to 94 percent, 1 percentage point behind last year.

comprehensive cattle crossbreeding experiment at Thompson was conducted under the direction of John F. Lasley. The farm was also the site of a bull progeny testing program from 1970-1990, where approximately 100 bulls were tested yearly.

Schreffler not only had an opportunity to work cattle, he was able to hop on a tractor and take part in the plot work at the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part time, you get to do what the low man on the totem pole doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anymore,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoyed it, though. I learned a lot and made it my goal to continue to work my way up.

It was a whole new world.â&#x20AC;?

Schrefflerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work continued to pay off as he was continually promoted at Thompson. He was the animal technician before the Center went through a few transitions.

After some restructuring, Schreffler applied for the herdsman job and got it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked my way up the ladder,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really did do everything there was to do at the Center.â&#x20AC;?

Schreffler became the herdsman at Thompson in 1993. A few years later, David Patterson made a trip to the Center.

Patterson, a new state beef Extension specialist at MU at the time, had developed a replacement heifer program at the University of Kentucky a few years before. He wanted to implement a similar program at Mizzou. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day Dr. Patterson came out here, it was a cold March day,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to get the calves in so that he could work them. I plowed a path in the snow so that the calves could get to the barn, but they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay on the path. They were in bellydeep snow. All I can think about was how all of my calves were going to die because of this new program. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real hip on what we were doing.â&#x20AC;?

That program would soon be given an official name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program.

Thompson would be a pilot site of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always a day late and a dollar short,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took me a long time to understand what we were here for. The blood testing, checking the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a producer would do that.

We needed to be the ones taking the lead on the science part of equation, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Patterson saved this Center. Before he arrived, we just had cows. We were at the tail end of Dr. Lasleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crossbreeding studies. We moved toward an Angus herd after that and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back.â&#x20AC;?

The Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program has enrolled more than 135,000 heifers on more than 850 farms during its 20 years of existence. Along with Patterson, a number of specialists have made Thompson their prime site for research, including Jared Decker and Jordan Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate to have a group who really care about the Center,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing research out here, you join our family.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be loyal to Dr. Patterson and his team. They took us to the dance when no one else would. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all bought in since then.â&#x20AC;?

Schreffler replaced his good friend David McAtee as the farm manager in 2010, after McAtee retired from the position. McAtee served as the farm manager from 1993 to 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David is like a brother to me,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of the people who have had and still have a huge influence in my life. Rod Geisert, who was the interim superintendent for a few years, was a great boss and a great friend.

Virginia Clark, the only secretary ever stationed at the farm, was amazing to work with.

Dave (Patterson) and Duane Dailey (professor emeritus of

MU Extension education) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how much they will always mean to me. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here today without all of them.â&#x20AC;?

Schreffler continues to work with local producers, providing important research findings and offering information on what tools those producers can use to improvetheir herd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make sure to share the good and the bad of everything we do. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the business of helping people developbetter cattle. If they can convince me, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty hardheaded, there has to be something to it.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to take chances and solve problems before they become a problem for producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I refuse to sell a heifer that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not proud of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thrill to get that call from someone who has faith in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. We keep building on everything as well.â&#x20AC;?

Schreffler has no plans on slowing down, either, entering his 42nd year. With the support of his wife, Lola, who he grew up with and married in 1977, Schreffler is focused on bringing more research to the local farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worst part of the job is the 18-mile drive,â&#x20AC;? Schreffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could snap my fingers and be there, that would be a lot easier. This is my home. Some of biggest parts of my life have been spent on these 1,600 acres. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as comfortable here as I am anywhere else in the world, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m incredibly lucky to have a wife who has supported me in all of this. Farm life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, and having a spouse who understands what it takes is rare.

Lola has been by my side through it all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fought for this Center, stood by it and defended it. I keep saying that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more thing I want to see happen here, and then another thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and another. That makes it hard for me to retire and want to go fishing yet. I bleed Thompson Farm. They can scatter my ashes here for all I care.â&#x20AC;?

Grundy R-5 FFA Busy Over Summer Grundy R-5 FFA members had a very eventful summer.

To start the summer, Ada Fox and Rylee Johnson attended the 2019 Missouri Agribusiness Academy ,where they were able to network with other members across the state who share a passion for agriculture, tour agribusinesses and meet with the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders. Anna Milazzo was selected to attend HYPE Academy, which gave her the opportunity to research a hot button topic in agriculture and presented it in a mock hearing to Missouri legislator.

For the annual June meeting, members enjoyed playing volleyball and dodgeball, followed by ice cream. In July, members beat the heat at the annual July Slip-n-Slide FFA meeting and also received first place with the float they entered in the Galt Fair Parade.

During the middle of July, Ada Fox, Anna Milazzo, Dorothy Matthews, Ellen Baxter and Macy Saul attended Washington Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. Members obtained leadership skills, experienced the diversity of the National FFA Organization and made â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living to Serveâ&#x20AC;? plans. There were also several members who volunteered their time at the Missouri State Fair in August to wrap up the summer.

The chapter kicked off the new year at the annual backto-school barbecue, where members and their families played kickball and were able to gear up for the upcoming year.

Throughout the summer each member participated in SAE visits with advisor

Cheyenne Martin. Each member has a unique Supervised Agricultural Experience project, which can range from placement to entrepreneurship.

Members work in various places such as the Galt Hometown Grocery Store, Hardees, Hy-Vee, KTTN Radio and for various farms in the area. Several members also raise a variety of livestock like beef cattle, swine, poultry and sheep.

In the next few weeks, members will start fruit sales as a fundraiser for the chapter.

If there are any questions or comments, persons can contact Ms. Martin at the school.

Coming up in October are barnwarming, national convention and the annual blood drive.

Grundy R-5 FFA members are looking forward to a very eventful year.

Beginning on Monday, Sept. 30, the Trenton Municipal Utilities Water Treatment Plant will begin utilizing free chlorine, or a free chlorine conversion, in its water system.

Water Plant Chief Operator Steve Reid said the conversion entails feeding free chlorine, instead of chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia), as the disinfectant is leaving the water treatment plant. This will affect customers of Trenton Municipal Utilities, Grundy County PWSD #1, the City of Galt, western Sullivan County and the City of Spickard. This will occur for three to six weeks.

Here are some commonly asked questions about free chlorine conversion and their purpose: • Possible Noticeable Effects: There are no associated health risks to the process.

During these efforts to improve water quality, there will be times of lower water pressure, possible odor, taste, discoloration and small particles in the water. TMU and/or the water service will attempt to flush the particles, color, taste and odors from the mains with directional flushing, however, there is a possibility that some of the color, odor and taste will get into the service line.

• Is My Water Safe to Drink? Yes, TMU Water Department is dedicated to mak-

ing sure the water is safe to drink and will monitor disinfectant levels continually during the conversion. If customers experience odor or taste in the 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 The Burnout Necessary? TMU and their customer departments are tasked with ensuring that the water in all points of their systems are acceptable 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 pressure, resulting in discoloration and affecting taste.

Other processes such as nitrification and the growth of biofilm can also occur in the water distribution system. The biofilm can cause a reduction in the effectiveness of residual disinfectants over time. This free chlorine burnout will help cleanse the pipe walls, reduce the occurrence of nitrification and biofilm and ensure that quality water is provided to customers.

Persons can contact the water treatment plant at 3593211 with any questions or concerns.

Arrest For Manslaughter A Trenton man who was involved in a fatality accident in June has turned himself in on two felony charges.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, Russell Louderback, 62, turned himself in to the sheriff’s office on a class E felony of second degree involuntary manslaughter and a class D felony of possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana/synthetic cannabinoid. Louderback is accused of causing the death of Jamesport resident Eric Virtue by driving a vehicle to that crossed the center line and struck a vehicle driven by Virtue. The accident occurred west of Trenton on the morning of June 13. In addition, Louderback is ac-

cused of possessing hydrocodone and methadone, both controlled substances.

Louderback’s bond was initially set at $25,000 cash-only, however he was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 8.

Also turning himself in was Casey S. Welch, 24, of Trenton, who was arrested for failing to appear in court on charges of operating a motor vehicle with brakes not in good working condition and operating a motor vehicle for which financial responsibility was not maintained.

SERVING YOUR FELLOW MISSOURIANS While lawmakers were in Jefferson City during the week of Sept. 9, we had the chance to discuss the latest appointments to several of Missouri’s boards and commissions. While these selections are made by the gov-

ernor, each of these individuals must be approved by the Missouri Senate, where we offer our advice and consent. In other words, my colleagues and I review the appointments and determine if the person is qualified

to serve on the board or commission to which they have been appointed. This also gave me the opportunity to sponsor an appointee.

Mel Tjeerdsma of Maryville is a member of the Northwest Missouri State University Board of Regents. He graduated from Northwest in 1977. The Missouri Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee discussed his appointment on Sept. 12 during the extraordinary legislative session.

DOWN 1 Pooch

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from "Kitchen Confidential" who had feelings regarding her partner's unhealthy food choices in comparison to her own. I am 68 and have lived a vegan lifestyle for nearly 15 years.

My husband is 71 and a huge meat and cheese fan. He will often eat the healthy foods that I cook, and later in the evening fry up a slab of ham.

At least I know he has had something nutritious when he eats what I cook. I have never made his food choices a battleground, and we respect each other's right to eat the way we want. We often find humor in our food choice differences, and he frequently brags about my eating lifestyle to his friends. He, however, is not interested in converting to a lifestyle of plant-based eating.

"Kitchen Confidential" may want to consider cooking several healthy, tasty meals each week that would appeal to her partner if she is that concerned about his food choices. Then she could be thankful if he eats them with her. I find you can't

change people's opinions about food (or a lot of other things!), but it is up to them to decide what they want to do. -- Make Mine Veggies Dear Make Mine Veggies: I am printing your letter because you touch on two great points. One, people can't force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. Change must come from within. And two, you have healthy eating habits and that, by so doing, you have set a great example for your husband. Joking about food choices is wonderful, too, especially because your husband is proud of your vegan lifestyle. Laughter promotes good health.

Dear Annie: Now and then, I used to stop by a fast-food place when out shopping. It had an excellent salad bar. One day, I was walking around it, adding things to my plate when a mother carrying a baby and accompanied by a little girl of 4 or 5 walked by, heading for a table. The little girl said, "I want salad." The mother snapped, "You're too short." I saw them sitting at a

table later with burgers, fries and milkshakes. Mom was overweight and didn't need the extra calories. She was in a bad mood.

I've thought that I should have offered to help the little girl or watch the baby who was in a carrier that she had placed on the table, but thought it best not to interfere. I sometimes wonder if the little girl ever got a salad when she grew taller. - Observer in Connecticut Dear Observer: It can be a difficult thing to watch a little girl be put down by her own mother. One can only hope that she got her salad -- if not that night, then later. As for interfering, I can see the mom responding both ways -- being appreciative that you could help the little girl get a salad or being resentful that you butted into a family dinner. You probably did the right thing by staying quiet. Though it's easy to make snap judgments, you never know what's happening behind the scenes or what type of day this mom had before you saw her. A little compassion goes a long way.

Plugging in to utilities Investors are showing lots of love for utilities stocks.

The sector, which comprises electric and water companies, hit an all-time high Tuesday as investors rode out a volatile day on Wall Street by turning to more defensive stocks and U.S. government bonds.

Utilities grew more appealing to traders this summer, when long-term government bond yields fell below short-term ones, triggering stocks’ August skid. Treasurys’ so called “inversion” has often signaled recessions in the past.

Bond yields’ decline made utilities more attractive to

fixed-income investors seeking their higher dividend yields. That’s not likely to change soon, given the lingering uncertainty over the U.S.-China trade war, slowing global economic growth and the lowering of interest rates by central banks overseas, which makes U.S. bonds more appealing, keeping their yields lower.

“We continue to anticipate heightened volatility and more subdued equity returns heading into year-end and 2020,” Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, noted in a research note this week.

Fully charged: Utilities are on track to top the other 10 sectors in the S&P 500 in the July-September quarter with a gain of 8.2%. For the year-to-date, the sector lags only technology and real estate stocks.
