Two-Year Review

County Gets Good Marks In Recent Audit A recent financial audit of Grundy County covering the years ending Dec. 31, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2018 shows no material weaknesses in internal control or signficant internal control deficiencies.

The audit, conducted by McBride, Lock and Associates LLC of Kansas City, showed only a few “items of noncompliance,” including actual expenditures exceeding budgeted amounts in three funds in 2017 and four funds in 2018. Among those exceeding their budgets for one of those years during

that time period were the 911 Fund, Senior Citizens Tax Board, Juvenile Programs, Record Preservation, Law Enforcement Training, Victims of Domestic Violence and the Drug Court Local Fund. In addition, the Deputy Salary Fund budgeted for a deficit fund balance for both 2017 and 2018. The auditors recommended that the county refrain from approving expenditures in excess of budgeted amounts and budgeting expenditures in excess of beginning fund balances plus anticipated revenues. A public hearing should be

held if there are unforeseen currentyear expenditures that require budget amendments.

The county’s response was that the deficit in the Deputy Salary Fund cannot be corrected with county money and is due to paying in December and not being reimbursed by the state until January of the following year. In addition, the county’s response included the following: “As for the budgeting of fund balance plus expected revenues and budgeting all as expenditures those are funds controlled mostly by

the Sheriff’s and Prosecuting Attorney’s offices without county control.

We will advise them to be more realistic with their budgeting of those funds.

As for over budget amounts, we will work harder at watching balances closer.” It was noted that quarterly reports are provided to all departments.

Other minor findings included bank reconciliation issues and documentation needed by the Senior Citizens Tax Board, with some of those documents misplaced during the board treasurer’s move.

Halloween Carnival The Trenton R-9 Schools will host the annual Halloween carnival and costume contest on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at Trenton High School.

Carnival-type games will be conducted by several R-9 classes and organizations from 6 to 7 p.m. in the commons area, with the costume contest for children age infant to third grade taking place at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium. The THS Student Council and R-9 Mascot Team are taking the leadership role in the carnival, which has a history dating back to the 1980s.

Persons with questions can contact Dave Burkeybile or Brenda Thorne at the high school, 359-2291.

NCMC BOT Meeting The North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees will meet in regular session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22 in the Frey Administrative Center.

Items on the announced agenda include consideration of bids/purchases for allied health lab equipment and a golf cart, Head Start items, discussion of meeting date changes, employment of personnel, a report from students in the business department and reports from the Head Start Directors Janet Gott and Sue Ewigman, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre, Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley and President Dr. Lenny Klaver. An executive session for personnel, legal matters and real estate is also planned.

Lead Levels Drop The city of Trenton continues to see a reduction in the lead levels of its water system, according to test results shared with Trenton Municipal Utilities by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

There were 40 Tier One locations tested and, according to TMU, the system tested below the Environmental Protection Agency’s 90th percentile action level of 15 parts-per-billion for the second consecutive period. All 40 test locations also tested below the action level during the latest testing period.

According to City Administrator/Utility Director Ron Urton, all 40 Tier One locations have been notified of the test results.

He said that with two consecutive sixmonth testing periods below the EPA’s action level for lead, TMU, in accordance with DNR regulations, will now test annually rather than bi-yearly.

A water quality hotline has been established for TMU customers to call if they have questions or concerns regarding this issue. That number is 660-234-9172.

Commission Agenda The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session on Tuesday at the courthouse.

Items on the announced agenda include the regular meeting with Ambulance Director Steve Tracy at 10 a.m. and a 2:30 p.m. meeting with Ron Koehly of Lifestyle Insurance, who will provide an update on the current insurance coverage.

National Weather Service There is a slight chance of rain on Friday night into Saturday morning with skies clearing out for Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Rain may return on Monday. Highs will be in the upper 60s with lows in the low to mid 40s. Trenton’s high on Monday, Oct. 14 was 69, Tuesday’s high was 64 and Wednesday’s high was 55, the low was 42. The high on Wednesday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 53, the low was 36.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

Trenton 8, Chillicothe 3

Trenton 10, Milan 0 - 5 Innings

BEST FOR LAST

Trenton Wins On Senior Night, Starts Off Districts With 10-0 Victory

McKayla Blackburn has made the most of her senior season. Given her first chance to shine in the circle for the Trenton High School softball team, she has done just that by pitching Trenton to several victories. She has used her bat to give Trenton big hits when the Bulldogs have needed them and, on Monday against Chillicothe, she used her glove to make big defensive plays in the field.

Twice Blackburn had hard hit balls come right back at her. On one, she cleanly fielded the ball and threw home to fellow senior Lexi Whitaker, who applied a run-saving tag. On the other, Blackburn fired the ball to third to put out the lead runner - again helping to keep Chillicothe from a run-scoring situation.

Both plays were big in helping Trenton to an 8-3 Senior Night win over the rival Hornets.

“I usually don’t ever get those (plays),” Blackburn said. “Like, I try to be as ready as I can, but just usually don’t ever get them. I would honestly say they were luck.”

Lucky or not, both plays were big. On a night when Chillicothe had runners on seemingly every inning, Blackburn’s defense kept scoring chances at a minimum for the visitors.

In addition to the play at the plate from Blackburn, Whitaker tagged a second runner out at home, again denying the Hornets a run.

“I just focus on basics, honestly,” Whitaker said of the play-at-the-plate situations. “Just like catching it and tagging because, you know, they can get under it, they can have tricks to get around it, but I just focus on the basics.”

Chillicothe outhit Trenton 8-7, but the Bulldogs drew six walks in the game to tip the scales in their favor. Trenton also made more of its opportunities with runners on base.

Blackburn drove home Chandler Lynch with a sacrifice fly in the first inning to put Trenton up 1-0 and Maci Moore drew a bases-loaded walk in the second to double the lead and prompt Chillicothe to change pitchers early in the contest.

For a while, the pitching change seemed to work for the Hornets. After tacking on one run on a fielder’s choice RBI from Lynch in the second, Trenton was shut out in the third and fourth frames as the score resided at 3-0.

In the fifth, however, Trenton broke through again. Lynch was hit by a pitch and Blackburn would drive her in for a second time in the game. Shortly afterward, Blackburn scored on a passed pall.

Trenton extended the lead to 6-0 when

Lexi Whitaker lines a hit during Trenton’s 8-3 win over Chillicothe Monday night on Griffin Field. Whitaker was 1-for-4 with a stolen base in the win.

Gracyn Rongey burned the Hornets’ leftfielder for a double, scoring Teya Cooksey.

Chillicothe finally got on the board in the sixth, striking for three runs to cut the lead in half, but Trenton put the game away in the bottom of the frame. Lynch, who had scored two runs already, drove in two. She doubled down the left field line and Summer Martin and Moore both came home to score. After shutting down Chillicothe in the seventh, Trenton clenched the victory.

Lynch finished the game 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk, a double, two runs and three RBIs. Blackburn drove in two runs, collecting one hit and scoring once. Martin had a team-high two hits in the win and Chloe Harris and Shay Westerhof each drew a walk and scored a run.

Despite not being the last home game for the two seniors - districts is being held in Trenton this season - there was still the traditional emotion and build-up that comes with a senior night event. The honoring of two players that have given so much to this program over the past four years was deserved, and necessary, even if the two seniors tried to quell the spectacle.

“This is the first group that I have ever taught,” Hultman, who is a middle school social studies teacher, said. “When I moved here, (Whitaker and Blackburn) were eighth graders. This is my first year coaching them on varsity, but I have known them for five years. They are pretty special players and, more importantly than that, they are special people. Coming out tonight they had a message, they didn’t want the girls to think about Senior Night.

They didn’t want them to think about anything except playing, competing and try-

ing to get a win. That says a lot about their personality. They have done this their entire careers - put the team before themselves.” vs. MILAN Trenton opened district play on Wednesday, scoring a 10-0 victory over Milan in the opening round.

Trenton plated a run in the bottom of the first and scored in all five innings en route to the run-rule victory. Though the result was similar to the two schools’ regular-season meeting, Hultman noted Milan was much better this time around.

“The regular season game was a little different,” Hultman said. “When you are in the playoffs, everyone plays up to their best potential. Milan’s team played really, really well. Their pitcher did a good job mixing speeds and that was good for our batters to see. But we had good at-bats and were able to keep their bats quiet and, defensively, make some really good plays.”

Moore led Trenton, going 3-for-4 at the plate with a double, triple, three RBIs and two runs scored. Lynch was 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI and Blackburn went 2-for-3 with a double, RBI and two runs scored.

In the circle, Blackburn pitched a fiveinning shutout, yielding just one hit while walking two and striking out eight.

The district victory set up a rematch with Marceline for the Bulldogs on Thursday. Trenton fell 15-5 on the road in Marceline, but the Bulldogs did not throw Blackburn in that game, specifically for this district match-up.

A win in the district semifinals on Thursday will place Trenton in the Class 2, District championship game on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Kayden Spencer rushes through the South Harrison defense during Trenton’s 12-0 loss in junior varsity football action at C.F. Russell Stadium on Monday night. With the loss, the Trenton JV fell to 1-4 overall on the season. Trenton’s JV football team will be back at home next Monday, Oct. 21, taking on the Polo Panthers’ JV. Kickoff for the match-up is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Gott, Crowley Handed Loss The Trenton High School girls tennis season is officially over after the doubles team of Lexi Gott and Kendall Crowley were eliminated at the sectional level.

On Wednesday in Warrensburg, the Trenton duo was defeated 6-3, 6-4 by Rachel Beymer and Brooke Barker of the host school, bringing the year to a close for the program.

TMS Ends Season With Loss The Trenton Middle School football team fell 14-12 to South Harrison on the road in Bethany on Monday night, ending their season with a 4-2 overall record.

Trenton led 12-0 entering the fourth quarter after Gabe Stark scored on runs of 55 and seven yards. The Bulldogs were unable to score on either 2-point conversion attempt, however, and that would be a factor in the game’s final outcome.

South Harrison hit Trenton with a passing touchdown and successful 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter and then scored a second touchdown on another pass, this one coming on the last play of the game to steal the win.

“The boys played a great football game,” Trenton Head Coach Jon Guthrie said. “We struggled to cover the pass late in the game and it caught up with us. Defensively we shut down the run and played very physical, though.

“Overall, I’m proud of the boys this fall. Finishing 4-2 is a very good accomplishment. The eighth graders showed great unity and character throughout the season. I’m very excited for their future at THS.”

Power Points Winner John Krajicek of Salina, KS was the local winner of the weekly Power Points contest for week 6. Krajicek collected 121 points to claim the $30 local prize. Frank Cetera of Chestnut Ridge, PA was the national winner, collecting 129 points.

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

SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE Winless Trenton, Polo Set To Match-Up In Week 8 Showdown It is not an envious position to be in - winless through seven weeks. But as Trenton and Polo get set to face off in Week 8 at C.F. Russell Stadium tonight (Friday) at 7 o’clock, that’s exactly where the Bulldogs and Panthers find themselves.

Someone is going to walk off the field on Friday night with a much needed win. The Trenton Bulldogs hope it’s them.

“I told our kids I’m probably

more nervous about this game than I have been about any other game this year,” Trenton Head Coach Kevin Hixson said. “This is a game everybody expects you to win.

We’ve beaten them every year since we got in this conference, but it’s not going to be that easy. They have some players and some guys who can play hard and, if we don’t go out and play for 48 minutes and finish drives, they can sneak up and beat you.”

Finishing has been the biggest point of emphasis in practice this week. The Bulldogs want to finish plays in all three phases of the game - finish tackles, finish the game in the fourth quarter and, most importantly, finish those drives that have stalled all too often inside opponents’ 30-yard line.

Last week against South Harrison, Trenton twice failed to get into the end zone after reaching the 25-yard line on back-to-back drives in the sec-

ond half. It was an issue against Lexington, Gallatin and almost every other team Trenton has lost to this season.

“We have got to finish,” Hixson said. “We have got to quit getting down there, almost close enough, and not finishing.”

What Trenton has had going for it in recent weeks is its defense. The Bulldogs were scored on four times last week, but South Harrison had short fields on two of the scores. In general, the team tied for first in the Grand River Conference struggled to move the ball on Trenton’s defense.

Polo’ s offensive futility has been at the forefront of the Panthers’ struggles. Five times this season Polo has been shut out and the Panthers have not scored a single point in their last four contests. Trenton will look to keep Polo’s offense in its current funk, but will have

to remain disciplined as the Panthers like to use a lot of misdirection to try and find creative ways to move the ball.

“We need to go out and play defense as physically as we have been doing,” Hixson said.

“We will figure out some of (Polo’s) stuff and we will be prepared defensively.”

It will be senior night for the Bulldogs with senior members of the team being honored prior to kickoff.

A pre-game tailgate will be held at Eastside park prior to tonight’s game. The event will be sponsored by the Trenton Middle School Choir.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL GOLF Class 1, Section 3 Tournament

Season Comes To A Close For Trenton Senior Golfers Trenton seniors Maci Henson and Oakley Madden reached the end of the line on Monday in Kirksville at the Class 1, Section 3 Tournament.

Henson carded a score of 115 while Madden checked in with a mark of 119. Neither score was low enough to send the Bulldog golfers on to state.

The top 15 golfers on nonqualifying teams at the sectional advance to state. Henson was 24th overall and was 19th among the golfers not on the top-two finishing teams. Madden was 34th and had the 28thbest score of golfers not from champion Palmyra or runnerup Kirksville.

Both Henson and Madden earned All-Grand River Conference and all-district honors this season. Both were AllGRC golfers last year as juniors as well.

“Maci and Oakley were very close to making the state tournament this year,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said.

“Five and nine strokes aren’t much over the course of 18

holes. I’m proud of what they have accomplished in their careers and especially as seniors.

Both made the all-conference and all-district teams this year and they should feel very good about that. They’ve been great role models for the younger girls and were a lot of fun to coach. They are my first freshman through seniors on the girls’ side of golf coaching, so they will always hold a very special place in my memories.”

Palmyra won the sectional title with a score of 424 while Kirksville finished runner-up on its home course with a mark of 443. Kirksville’s Abigail Boyer won the individual title, carding a score of 80 for the 18-hole tournament. Chillicothe’s Hallie Jones was second with an 84 and Brookfield’s Laken Sattman was third with a 94.

The state tournament will roll on without a Trenton representative on Oct. 21-22 at the Fremont Hills Golf Course in Nixa.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

LeBlond 2, Trenton 0

Volleyballers Drop A Pair Of Matches The Trenton High School volleyball team continued to struggle in the wake of winning the Carrollton Quad, dropping its third and fourth games in a row since hoisting the championship plaque from that event.

Trenton lost 27-25, 25-18 on the road in Lexington on Monday and Tuesday brought about a 25-8, 25-8 loss to LeBlond at home.

Trenton came out strong in the opening game against Lexington, but lost after forcing the Minutewomen to a pair of extra points to determine a winner. The narrow loss sapped some momentum from the Bulldogs, but Trenton still kept things close in the second game, falling 25-18 to give Lexington the match.

“We came out ready to play and were competitive,” Trenton Head Coach Pam Bowden said. “We just couldn’t close the gap and end up with a win. We told the girls that they have to believe in their ability to be successful.”

Evy McCullough had an ace, two kills and four blocks in the loss while Libby Fewins tallied three kills and Ava Simpson handed out five assists. Mackenzie Klinginsmith had two assists, Allena Allen had one kill and Jessa Shipley finished with two digs.

Trenton just flat ran into a buzzsaw in LeBlond. The Golden Eagles were more than Trenton could handle, cruising to 258 victories in both games.

“I want the girls to continue to work hard and be encouraged, despite our loss to LeBlond,” Bowden said.

McCullough had five kills and an ace against LeBlond, accounting for six of Trenton’s 16 total points in the match on those stats alone. Simpson had six assists and Fewins had two digs and a block.

Olivia Roberts had two digs while Allen and Shipley had one dig each.

With the two losses, Trenton fell to 1015 overall on the season.

Trenton will have another tough test next Monday when the Bulldogs travel to St. Joseph to face St. Joseph Christian.

The Bulldogs will be at home on Tuesday for Senior Night, hosting Savannah to

When the Princeton Tigers fell behind 18-7 at the Cemetary Bowl in Maysville Friday night, it was hardly the first time this season that they had faced adversity. The Tigers had dug their own hole in this one, though. Five turnovers loomed large as Maysville’s third straight touchdown threatened Princeton’s undefeated Grand River Conference mark.

In search of a spark, Princeton got what it needed from Eli Henke.

Henke returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown and the rest of the fourth quarter looked nothing like the three-plus quarters of football up to that point. “We were all frustrated at our efforts,� Princeton Head Coach Nathan Powell said. “We had more turnovers in that game than we had on the season, we weren’t finishing blocks and our backs weren’t being patient. We weren’t executing efficiently at all. “We returned the ensuing kickoff and you could just feel the energy pick up on the sideline. There was a spark that had been missing and it ignited our defense.�

Princeton scored twice following the kickoff return for a touchdown and the Tigers escaped Maysville with a 27-18 victory. At 5-0 in GRC play, the Tigers remain in a tie with South Harrison atop the standings.

Fueled by the momentum-changing kick return, Princeton’s defense chased the Wolverines off the field, forcing a punt. When Princeton was stopped on a fourth down attempt, the Tigers’ defense came up big again, stuffing a Maysville fourthdown attempt to get the ball back.

Three plays later Austin Kelly found Zeb Schwartzkopf for a 58yard touchdown pass. Despite a failed two-point conversion, Princeton had a one-point advan-

tage.

Princeton’s kick coverage swarmed down the field, pinning Maysville deep. The Wolverines, suddenly down a point late in the game, were forced to attempt a fourth-down conversion and, once again, Princeton stopped them cold.

Taking over inside the Maysville 15-yard line, Princeton iced the game with a six-yard Eli Henke touchdown run. A 2-point conversion, which actually came after a bad snap broke down the pointafter kick attempt, stretched the lead to 9 points and sealed Maysville’s fate. “We played an incredibly sloppy game offensively with our turnovers but our kids found a way to come home with a victory,�

Powell said. “There is absolutely no quit in these guys and they truly believe we will win each game.

That’s not anything to do with Xs and Os - our guys believe in each other and in what we are doing.

This is a team that doesn’t quit.�

Princeton managed just 176 total yards in the game and netted only six first downs all game long.

Henke had 48 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries and Justin Rhoades added 41 yards on just four carries thanks to a 30 yard run.

Kelly completed 2-of-5 passes in the game, adding a 10 yard toss to Camden Hartley to his touchdown pass to Schwartzkopf.

Owen Schreffler and Riley Rhoades each fell on a fumble to help offset the Tigers’ turnover troubles a little and John Birge had a sack for the Tigers’ defense.

Princeton, now 6-1 overall, will be at home for the final two weeks of the regular season, hosting Gallatin in week 8 and South Harrison in week 9. Both contests at Eddie Allen Field are scheduled for 7 p.m. kickoffs.

THS Class Members View Quilts The Trenton High School classes of 1936-1943 met on Oct.7 at Dino’s Diner for their monthly breakfast.

Several items of the school years were mentioned, including the types of school buses being used and drivers during the early 40s. Max Oyler told stories of happenings while he was in the locker business in Spickard.

Present for the breakfast were Max Oyler, Bonnie Moore, Dorothy Turner McMullen, Mary Lou Crawford and Kathy Tiegert.

After breakfast, the women went to Mrs. McMullen’s home to view her quilts and the large display of watercolor pictures throughout her home.

One quilt was a beautiful cross stitch which she had done years ago. Mrs. Crawford showed a Flower Garden quilt which her grandmother, Lizzie Pew had made in the early

1930’s. Mrs. Pew made each of her seven grandchildren a quilt and labeled them with the child’s name.

Mrs. McMullen was born on a farm north of Jamesport and graduated from THS. in 1939.

She married Harry McMullen in 1946 and they made their home in Arizona and were the parents of one daughter, Pat McMullen Mikles, who was a professor at the Yavapai Community College in Cottonwood, AZ and taught fine arts, with her main interest being watercolor painting. She also taught quilting classes at a fabric shop in Cottonwood and had saved several wall hangings of quilt blocks, assembling them and different methods used in making a quilt. Mrs. McMullen was not aware of these samples until after her daughter’s death in 2015.

A reception will be held on Sunday, Oct. 27 to honor Laura Trump Hart, who will be celebrating her 90th birthday anniversary.

The reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in the First As-

Missouri Day Is Program Topic Eight members and two guests attended the Monday, Sept. 30 meeting of the Grundy County Genealogical Society, held in the genealogy room of the Grundy CountyJewett Norris Library.

Buddy and Karla Hannaford gave the program on the history of Missouri Day, which was established by the Missouri General Assembly through a bill approved onâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; March 22, 1915. The late Anna Korn of Trenton was author of the bill. In 1969, the General Assembly changed the date to the third Wednesday in October. The Missouri Day Festival in Trenton was established inâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; October 1984 to honor the history of the state and to celebrate achievements of all Missourians. It is held on the third weekend of October and has grown from a mostly local celebration to attracting thousands of people to north Missouri.

Many people believe that the Ten Commandments represent God's law for mankind today, and that if we will simply obey these things we will be pleasing to Him. Others argue that the Ten Commandments represent a portion of God's law that is no longer binding. The secular world fights to have the Ten Commandments removed from all public venues. In truth, what should our stance be?

Come to the Trenton Church of Christ to hear this very important subject discussed.

October 20th - 23rd with the Church of Christ 17th & Oklahoma, Trenton 660-359-2220

The marching band festival was organized by Hannaford in 1997 with 18 bands participating. There are four judged events, parade, indoor colorguard, indoor drumline and field show. Judging is done in different classes with first-, second- and third-place trophies awarded as well as a Sweepstakes Trophy to the band with the highest combined score for parade and field events. The marching band festival was originally known as the Missouri Day Marching Festival, but in 2016 changed its name to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trenton Marching Festivalâ&#x20AC;? when it was restructured with new leadership.

It takes many volunteers for the festival, with help from local, county and state agencies. The local news media helps promote the event.

The next meeting will be at 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28 at the library.

NW Missouri Horticulture

by Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist SAVING TREE SEEDS, PART II In my last column, I gave a few starting hints if you decide you want to save seeds from trees this fall. This week, I have a few more pointers and onegg precaution.

If you are storing the seeds indoors, you should make sure the seeds do not dry out. During the period of refrigeration, moisture can be maintained by placing some peat moss inside the jar or bag. The moss should be moist, but not overly wet. Check periodically to insure that the moisture level maintains a proper balance. The best temperature is around 36 degrees. Slightly higher temperatures may be ac-

ceptable, but a longer time period will be needed to satisfy dormancy requirements.

When you plant the seed, it is best to plant directly where you want the plant to grow, thus avoiding transplanting. However, some people may prefer to start the plants in a nursery setting, where you may be able to give the plants a better start. An example would be the case where the soil at the final plant location might not be the best.

Generally, seeds do not have to be planted deeply. A good rule is to plant the seed about twice as deep as the seed's largest dimension. If planting in the fall, a

cover of mulch to protect the seeds from winter extremes is helpful. Also, you may want to protect the seed from foraging wildlife by placing a wire mesh or basket over the seed.

Some seeds have specific needs. Acorns are an example.

To avoid weevil damage, soak the acorns in water at 120 degrees for 30 minutes, to kill any weevils that may be inside. But be careful, since higher temperatures or longer times may kill the acorn as well. Other seeds may need to have their seed coat broken, so it pays to find out any specific requirements for the seed you want to plant.

One final caution: if you are saving seed from a particular variety of tree or shrub, you will probably be disappointed because the offspring plant may not resemble the parent plant.

This is due the nature of genetics and the formation of the seed embryo after the flower is pollinated. This is particularly true of fruit trees. If you have a 'Golden Delicious' apple tree and want another one, the only way to insure this is through vegetative propagation, i.e., grafting. Trees grown from seeds in this case won't be true to type. You may get something similar, or something entirely different, depending where the pollen came from that pollinated the flower.

Hometown Boy

by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri

EARLY KILLING FROST JUST MISSED MID-MISSOURI AND SOUTH AREAS Mid-Missouri weather flirted with frost Saturday morning.

But it was nothing like the cold in Northern Corn Belt states.

Our low at MU Sanborn Field was 33F, staying above killingfrost of 28F. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sent a news release last week for Pat Guinan, MU Extension climatologist. He expects first frost in central counties in mid-October.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close.

He also told how September temperatures were like August normal. High temps became the trend for the year. Climatology, long-term weather, shows warming months year by year in the last decade.

With warming, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see delayed killing frosts.

When flooding last spring slowed planting, soybeans were behind all year on setting pods, turning color or filling pods. Warm weather, especially at night, helped speed soybean maturity.

Weather across Missouri grows spottier. That showed up with scattered rains in September. Some North Missourians received 10 and 11 inches of rain, while in southern corners of the state some stations had less than half inch.

Weather is volatile, but commodity prices are jumpier.

Weather affects potential grain

in the bin. Less grain brings higher prices and vice versa.

Feed prices affect livestock prices. Being a farmer takes being a climate watcher and futures market follower.

Recent world supply reports showed plentiful corn. On that news, prices slumped. Then weather reports came for northern states telling winter coming early. That bounced prices back up. Hang on, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more volatility.

I note that the Corn Belt crept northward with warming in the last 10 years. When I started writing farm news, Minnesota wasn't considered Corn Belt.

This past crop season in his weekly Extension teleconference, Pat Guinan revealed meteorologistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secrets. Old weather models used for years donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work well for this Maybe like me you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice weather forecasters never saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;no rain.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a chance for rain even in droughts.

Now, I do notice most forecasts add: â&#x20AC;&#x153;20 percent chance for showers.â&#x20AC;? That covers whatever.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interesting to check forecasts ahead of the 11.15inch rainfall at Princeton in September or the Bootheel 0.51 inch at More than supply-

and-demand markets and weather forecasts throw variables into market prices. New threats cost Missouri farmers millions of dollars. Those are unexpected Tariff Tweets.

Missouri farm commodity groups led in sending delegations to the Far East. They opened trade. This helped soybean and beef prices in particular. Free trade was working just fine.

Then the government bypassed free enterprise and took on driving markets. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when rural areas suffered. No market model predicts those political storms.

A recent non-government Tweet told an alarming large percentage of people read not one book a year. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a book that may be worth reading in rural Missouri. After all, agriculture remains our No. 1 income. A headline in the New York Times Book Review on Sunday, Oct. 13, caught my eyes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meat Is Murder: Jonathan Safran Foer links our food choices to climate crisis.â&#x20AC;?

The book title: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Are the Weather.â&#x20AC;? The reviewer doubts a book will stop us eating cheeseburgers, referred to as junk food. But, I sense both reviewer and author think laws need be passed. Such laws slowed use of tobacco.

But, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just one book promoting ideas of meatless diets. In social media and main media thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing aim to change farming.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-meatâ&#x20AC;? book came in the same week the New York Times ran a full-page story on health research on benefits of eating beef. In a few days a smaller story claimed that research was supported by animal agriculture.

The door opens for discussion on meatlessness. Tell me: duanedailey7@gmail.com.

The Final Word

by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Welcome To Missouri Day

The 35th annual Missouri Day Festival is off and running, with activities planned throughout the weekend at various locations in the community.

With those events will come the thousands of people who travel to Trenton to attend the parade and band activities, shop in the vendor area of the festival grounds and, while they are here, purchase goods and services from our local businesses.

As a resident of Trenton, please make our out-of-town visitors welcome so they will want to come back Diane Lowrey to our community at a time other than just during the festival. Trenton has a lot to offer and we certainly would love to see our weekend visitors return. ********** One of the exciting additions to this year’s Missouri Day Festival is the “Paint for a Cause” art event that will be taking place at The Space in downtown Trenton.

“Paint with a Cause” is a statewide program in which residents of Missouri get the chance to be part of the Missouri Bicentennial celebration by contributing to artwork that will be on display in Jefferson City during the state’s 200th birthday in 2021. The artwork is a 15-panel mural containing symbols representing the state of Missouri, with each symbol marked similar to a “paint by number” picture and Missourians are being asked to “paint’ the mural.

One of the panels will be in Trenton during the festival, with 1,729 spaces to be painted over the course of three days. Dan Maxey, who is coordinating the effort locally along with his Black Rooster Creative partner Kim Cleeton, is encouraging everyone who attends the festival to stop and share their artistic talent by painting a space on the panel. By participating, persons can become a part of Missouri history as an individual at The Space will also be recording information about each “artist” that will be used to complete a “user friendly” interactive video that will accompany the mural while on display in Jefferson City. The video will allow future generations to come back and check about ancestors who may have had a hand in the project.

The public will be able to paint on the mural panel today (Friday) until 5 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (the building will be closed on Saturday morning during the parade). Maxey is hopeful that all 1,729 spaces can be completed before the panel leaves Trenton on Sunday night.

Time For One More Question

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News Pres. Donald Trump's recent news conference pronouncements involving allegations by federal-government whistle blower reminded me of my growing experience in Missouri's statehouse by public officials seeking to avoid awkward questions from reporters.

Guest Editorials Trump's Sept. 25 news conference came immediately after the White House released a transcript of a phone conversation with the Ukrainian president in which Trump sought a Ukrainian investigation into a potential Democratic candidate for president.

The news conference began with lengthy and rambling statements that covered the economy and foreignpolicy issues as well as Ukraine.

I've experienced some Missouri governors starting a news conference with long statements on issues of little or no news significance.

It's caused me to wonder if there's a hope it will distract us from asking the most important questions or lead to less before the news conference is terminated.

When Trump eventually took questions, only three were about the president's discussion with the Ukraine President. Eight were on completely different subjects.

It struck me that Trump was able to divert questioning away from the explosive issue by picking reporters which obvious interest in different issues.

Then, the news conference abruptly ended as reporters seeking recognition for other questions were ignored.

I sympathized with those reporters seeking more probing questions.

Increasingly in Missouri's statehouse we have encountered governors and other state leaders holding what I've come to term "media moments."

Trump actually has been polite in shutting off further questioning by saying to reporters "thank you."

In Missouri, recent governors and a few other high officials have shut off questioning with a public information officer stepping in to loudly proclaim "time for one more question."

That, of course, just incites us to immediately attempt further questions after the "one more question" pronouncement.

It worked, briefly. But now, the subject of the news

conference just turns around and walks away.

That approach is so different from years ago when governors allowed news conferences to continue until almost every reporter's question was answered.

I confess, many days a governor took questions for so long that I would hope our colleagues would shut up.

Yet, even after lengthy news conferences, governors of the past sometimes would stick around for individual interviews on local topics or less formal conversations with us.

It reflected what I sensed was a passionate drive by governors of the past to do all they could to help reporters fully understand an issue and the administration's vision.

But now there are so many alternatives for communicating with the public without troublesome questions from reporters that I fear we're viewed by some we cover as the enemy to be manipulated and cut short.

While the public loses from that restricted access, so do the public officials we cover.

Many times when I've questioned a public official outside of a controlled setting, that public official learned something from my questions like a potential avenue of criticism or a new wrinkle to an issue.

And, sometimes, aggressive questioning helped the public official better formulate a defense or become more comfortable not hiding behind communications staff.

When I started covering Missouri's statehouse, I quickly discovered that my aggressive interviewing style for which I gained a reputation actually helped develop sources of long-term value.

While some were upset by my adversarial interviewing style, my most important and candid sources of lasting value appreciated that approach.

I think they realized they were benefiting from blunt questions in both learning about potential adversaries and their arguments. And sometimes, I'd raised aspects about an issue they had not considered.

I confess, I knew some of those sources were taking advantage of me in gaining information.

It's a reflection of incestuous relationships that reporters can develop with our closest sources.

But, the public benefited not just in the stories that I produced and from the much deeper understanding I gained from those sources about how government and politics really work.

What Others Are Saying...

Ban Secret Messaging App Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway was right when she said government agencies can't abandon their responsibility to maintain records.

Guest Editorials But in Missouri, skirting accountability seems to have become the norm — not the exception.

Former Gov. Eric Greitens' penchant for secrecy and his use of self-deleting apps have cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills.

The tab so far to defend Greitens' use of the self-deleting text message app Confide: a whopping $366,000. And the price tag continues to grow under successor Mike Parson.

As it turns out, governing in secret is a pricey — and wrong-headed — proposition.

In a letter posted to the auditor's website and sent to county governments and municipalities around the state, Galloway asked cities and counties to prohibit officials and employees from using applications or programs that destroy messages pertaining to public business.

"These applications allow for public business to be conducted in secret and prevent taxpayers from holding government accountable," Galloway wrote.

Several local governments in the Kansas City area told The Star Editorial Board that they discourage the use of such apps. But none have written policies prohibiting the practice.

Which raises the question: How serious are government officials about ensuring transparency?

Not only is public officials' use of self-destroying apps unethical, it's also a violation of state statute. Under Missouri law, texts, emails or electronically-stored records pertaining to official public business must be retained.

Greitens' case serves as a cautionary tale that destroying official records could prove to be an expensive legal morass.

In Kansas City, Mayor Quinton Lucas says his office does not condone the use of self-destructing apps.

"I have no interest in any program like that," Lucas said.

Raytown City Administrator Damon Hodges said the city's policy for electronic communication and internet usage encourages transparency.

"We stress the use of e-mail while conducting official business," he said.

City officials in Blue Springs, Independence, and Lee's Summit said they have no official policy restricting the use of such apps. Neither do other governmental agencies in Jackson, Cass, Clay and Platte counties.

Dan Ross, executive director of the Missouri Municipal League, said Galloway's guidance underscores existing law and called this a nonissue.

"Cities are well aware of record retention laws," he said.

But are they?

A 2017 lawsuit contends that Greitens' office used Confide to avoid Missouri's open records laws.

Greitens resigned last year amid several legal and ethical claims. Parson, the former lieutenant governor, replaced him.

Attorneys billed taxpayers more than $200,000 while Greitens was in office. Another $161,000 has been spent on legal fees since Parson took over in June 2018.

Greitens' administration negotiated the legal defense agreement with Bryan Cave, a Kansas City-based law firm.

But the legal battle continues on Parson's watch.

The former governor admitted that he used Confide to communicate with aides but denied running afoul of the law.

From 2014 to 2018, the Missouri State Highway Patrol used a similar app called Silent Phone. Greitens' staff also used Silent Phone in 2017.

Missourians expect government to be open and honest when conducting public business, as Galloway said in her letter.

Galloway, a Democrat is challenging Parson, a Republican, in the 2020 governor's race. But transparency and open government shouldn't be a partisan issue.

Enacting measures to ensure that messages or any other communications are retained is vital to meet recordkeeping obligations.

Simply discouraging the use of self-deleting app or assuming that officials know what's expected of them is not sufficient.

"Banning self-destructing text messaging by public entities, officials and employees is another step to ensuring transparency, and is the best antidote to any perceived or actual government impropriety," Galloway wrote.

In Missouri, a lot of local, county and state government entities still have work to do on that front.

Bulldog Bark

TRENTON R-9 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT Work is well under way at Trenton High School for the addition of the new Performing Arts Center. The location of the new structure is between the current high school commons and music building. During the last two weeks of September, the site preparation was done including a temporary construction office built right inside the commons. The existing utility lines were located so digging could take place, and some water drains were moved away from the current music building.

Last week, dirt was starting to be moved, and a lot of it. Approximately four feet of soil has to be removed to provide the right elevations for the seating areas and stage, and to create room for the foundation and footings for the structure itself. The PAC will be constructed with precast concrete walls and roof, and they are extremely heavy.

The result will be a sturdy, safe, concrete structure that can be used as a storm shelter for the high school and middle school campus.

In the coming weeks, more dirt will be moved out - some taken to nearby places on campus to improve the landscape and new and existing utility lines will be placed in their new locations under the floor of the PAC. When the ground level for the PAC is finally complete, the new concrete work in and around the structure will begin. This includes a new courtyard that will be between the PAC and the middle school eighth grade hallway, and prep work for the new corridors that will link the high school, middle school, PAC, music building and ag/art building.

Stay tuned for more updates of the new construction happening around the R-9 District, including the new concession stand, renovated high school and middle school media center, and all new Rissler Elementary office and administration center.

Keep up to date with photos of the new construction on the ‘News’ section of the Trenton R9 District webpage at www.trentonr9.k12.mo.us

INSURANCE CORNER

by Robert Barnes Broker/CEO

Qualifying for Long-Term Care Benefits If you are considering the purchase of a long-term care policy, you should take careful note of what "benefit triggers" must occur before you can receive benefits. Most insurance providers take a policyholder's inability to perform certain "activities of daily living" (ADLs) into account when making a determination. Generally speaking, benefits begin when the policyholder needs help performing two or three ADLs, such as requiring assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, using the toilet, walking, and remaining continent. Bathing should be included in the list of benefit triggers due to the fact that it is often the first task that becomes impossible to do alone. Mental-function tests are commonly substituted as benefit triggers for cognitive impairments..

NOTE: Carefully examine a long-term care policy's benefit trigger rules with regard to the development of cognitive impairments. Someone with Alzheimer's disease may be physically able to perform activities but can no longer do so without help.

You should consider a number of things before purchasing long term care insurance. Don't buy more insurance than you think: you may need. You may have enough income to pay a portion of your care costs and you may only need a small policy for the remainder. Don't buy too little insurance as that will only delay the use of your own assets or income to pay for care. ROBERT W. BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY specializes in long term care plans, annuities, and Medicare supplements. To learn more, please call 660-3595973. We are located at 915 E. Ninth St.

Dear Annie: I read r your column almost everyy morning, and I'd love to hear yoour advice on my situation. I am m 20 years old.

I'll be turning 21 thhis December.

(Yippee!) My first real h been offf boyfriend and I have and on the last sixx years. Even at our young agge, we used drugs, but both haave succeeded in our battle againnst the addiction.

I love my booyfriend very much but sometim mes he can be offf-putting. He can c often get loud and yell and get mad very quickly. Though iit's been many years since it hhappened, he often brings up the time I cheated on him nnot long after we first got togethher. I have admitted my wrongss, but he never just understands how much I just want to movee past that and be happy togetherr.

I feel like now w we are just together to be toggether. We're used to each otherr's presence no matter how bad tthings are between us.

I get along grreat with his family. They're like the family His mother is I've never had. H just like me, andd they include me in everything; they love me and tell me it all tthe time.

mes feel like my I sometim boyfriend andd I were meant to be -- but then I also think about might be happier whether I m alone. I'm so confused. Please help ASAP! --- Stuck and Confused k and Confused: Dear Stuck Let's try a thoought experiment: Close your eeyes and imagine yourself 10 yeears from now still with the samee man -- what your life is like toggether, and, most importantly, hhow it makes you feel. Then imaagine your life 10 years from noow having started a new life wiithout him today.

Which scenariio leaves you feeling lighter annd more excited?

From your lettter, I have a hunch it's the latter. You are ready for the next chaptter of your life, but it can be scaryy turning the page.

However, I aam so excited for you to find ouut what your story holds once yoou do.

Be prepareed. The breakup will likely be painful and messy. I recoommend reading "Codependennt No More" by Melody Beatttie for some further guidance on setting boundaries that wiill help you stay healthy.

Keep in minnd that it's normal to mourn a reelationship after it

Remember just how strong you are: Yo You overcame drug addiction at an incredibly young age, and you will overcome this, too.

Dear Annie: This is an open letter to a woman who commented as I left a designated handicapped bathroom stall: Thank you for your snarky comment that I certainly don't "look disabled." Due to orthopedic impairments that are not visible to your discerning eye (two sort of successful hip replacements and a blown Achilles tendon), I am unable to rise from a sitting position without a grab bar or other support -- and a toilet paper holder does NOT do it. I owe you no explanation, nor do I merit special attention from other women in that restroom. Please remember that not everyone who has a disabled driver hang tag/plate or uses a designated stall has an obvious impairment, and it is not your place to question that need. I wish you a long healthy life unchallenged by age, arthritis or other impairments. In the meantime, I wish you a bit of common courtesy. -- Florida Woman Dearr Florida Woman: Hear, hear. I appreciate this reminder that not all disabilities are obvious. Thanks for writing.

Hepatitis C Testing Planned The Grundy County Health Department will be offering rapid Hepatitis C Virus antibody testing on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver that results from the Hepatitis C Virus. Most people who become infected develop a chronic or lifelong infection which, over time, can cause serious health problems, including liver disease, liver failure and even liver cancer. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C, however, new and improved treatments are available.

Most people with Hepatitis C do not have symptoms and do not know they are infected.

The only way to know if a person has Hepatitis C is to be tested. Testing requires a finger stick to collect a blood sample and results are known within 20 to 40 minutes.

The test cost is $20. To schedule an appointment, persons can contact the health department at 660-359-4196.
