Cox Family Will Lead Parade No other family embodies the theme of the 2019 Missouri Day Festival like Dr. Paul and Barbara Cox and Dr. Andy and Holly Cox and their family. “Missouri Day - Embracing the Past, Looking to the Future” is the theme and the Cox family certainly mirrors this theme.

Tracing back to 1924, Dr. Forrest Curtis Cox came to Trenton from Salisbury and began what has been a long-standing tradition of family dentistry. The original dental practice was located over the former Stein’s Clothing Store in downtown Trenton and later moved down the street to a location above Trenton Hardware. Dr. Forrest Cox would be considered a “fix the problem dentist” in a day when a dentist simply solved what hurt.

Moving from Salisbury was not a favored move by his family, which included a brother who was also a dentist. The railroad brought Dr. Forrest Cox to Trenton and he saw the potential for a successful dental practice. His son, Dr. F. Curtis Cox II, joined his father in 1958 and together they looked forward to serving the community. Sadly, the health of the elder Dr. Cox prohibited him from practicing but a year after the father-son duo began working together and he was forced to retire from the day to day practice.

But even in retirement, both men continued to work together, with the elder Dr. Cox working in a home-based dental lab, where he built dentures for his son and the family practice. By this time, the family practice had relocated to 1011 Cedar St. where it remains today. The second-generation dentist began to focus more on preventive dentistry and restorative work.

He became a pioneer in the field of implant techniques and practiced until his retirement in 2004.

The third generation Cox joined the practice in 1986 when Dr. Paul C. Cox returned home to join his father. Cox Family Dentistry on Cedar Street underwent two building additions designed to accommodate a growing practice and more exten-

sive services to its patients. Dr. Paul says that in the 1970’s and 80’s, people became more preventive themselves and learned to take better care of their teeth than they used to.

“Technology has played a big part in dentistry trends and the types of materials used for preventions and services is changing,” he said. “Cosmetic dentistry is now very important with the ultimate goal – to make bright white teeth with big smiles.”

Dr. Paul, like his father, graduated from the University of Missouri Dental School.

While in college, he worked in a dental lab, which gave him a thorough understanding of crowns, bridges and other den-

tal prosthetics.

In 2013, the fourth member of the Cox legacy returned to Trenton to join his father in the family practice. Dr. Andrew P. Cox, a third generation UMKC Dental School graduate, vowed to continue the family commitment to always provide a positive impact on the health of the community and offer top of the line equipment and the latest in technology. Dr. Andy Cox has an emphasis on preventive care and reconstruction and is following in the shoes of his grandfather (Dr. Cox II), doing work in the field of dental implants.

GRUNDY COUNTY MUSEUM

Season Ends On Oct. 20

Exhibits Added For Museum Visitors Only six days remain in the Grundy County Museum’s 2019 exhibit season.

This year’s feature exhibit is “Chairs, the Stories They Could Tell,” a display of novel, unique and historic chairs associated with Grundy County’s families and businesses. Visitors can “perch” themselves on

a stool from the Maid-Rite restaurant and see if it feels familiar or see a unique and ornate piano stool from the Hubbell Theater.

Since the exhibit opened on Memorial Day, two features have been added to the exhibit floor - a movie and a collection of photographs. The movie is

“Scramble the Seawolves” a documentary about a highlydecorated helicopter attack squadron in which two Grundy County soldiers, pilot Eric Alexander and mechanic Larry Huffstutter, served while in Vietnam. The photo collection is a display of 10 pictures of ministers who served the

Evangelical United Brethren (later known as the Crandall Methodist Church).

All museum campus buildings will be open during regular museum hours, which are 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. In See Museum, Page 8

Groups Join Forces To Promote Display Of House Numbers “If they can’t find you, they can’t help you.”

Those words, spoken by Grundy County Presiding Commissioner Phil Ray, are exactly why the commission is joining with local emergency services personnel, the City of Trenton and the Grundy County Opportunity Center to ensure that every house in Grundy County has a house number displayed where emergency services personnel can see it. The effort comes as National Fire Prevention Week is being observed Oct. 6-12 and National Disability Employment Awareness Month is being observed in

October.

In addition to making a public plea for residents to take the time and make the effort to get the number on their homes, area residents are being reminded that signs with house numbers can be purchased locally through an organization providing meaningful employment to those with developmental disabilities. The Opportunity Center, a 501(c)(3) organization located at 2600 Princeton Road, is a local source for reflective aluminum signs with white reflective numbers.

A 12-inch by 6-inch sign with 4-inch numbers can be purchased for $8

Oct. 6-12 is National Fire Prevention Week and those involved with the Grundy County Opportunity Center were joined this week by local emergency services personnel as well as the Grundy County Commission and City of Trenton officials to proclaim the week and emphasize the need for all Grundy County residences to have their house numbers displayed where emergency services personnel can easily see them. House numbers can be purchased through the Grundy County Opportunity Center, located at 2600 Princeton Road.

with numbers on one side. If the numbers are on both sides, the sign will cost $10.

National Weather Service Rain is expected on Saturday, then skies will clear out for several days. Highs will reach 71 with low temperatures dipping into the mid 40s. The high on Monday at Trenton was 87, Tuesday’s high was 90 and Wednesday’s high was 79, the low was 58. A total of .81 of an inch of rain fell during that time.

Trenton Bulldogs 2, Brookfield Bulldogs 0

Trenton Handles Brookfield At Home The Trenton High School volleyball team is halfway to its win total from last season after picking up a 25-12, 25-17 win on its home floor against Brookfield on Monday night.

Trenton won 10 matches last season and the win over Brookfield pushed this year’s team to 5-10 overall. The victory also gave Trenton back-to-back wins for the first time this year and gave the Bulldogs three wins in their last four matches.

At the onset of the match, however, Trenton looked like a step backwards was in the works as Brookfield ran out of the gates with a 7-2 run. Trenton restored the order, however, outscoring the visitors 235 the rest of the way to take game one.

Trenton controlled game two as well, winning that set by a comfortable eight-point margin to seal the match.

It was the seventh win in a row for the Bulldogs over Brookfield - which Trenton also defeated at the Lathrop Tournament

two weeks ago. Trenton has never lost to the Blue and White Bulldogs since that program began in 2014, running an alltime record of 12-0-1 against Brookfield.

Trenton was paced by Olivia Roberts and Libby Fewins, both of whom had three aces and two kills. Evy McCullough added a kill and two blocks and Allena Allen and Natalie Ricker finished with one kill each. Ava Simpson rounded out Trenton’s attack with one ace.

In junior varsity action, Trenton scored a 25-17, 27-25 win with Faith Baker leading the way with four aces and a kill. Lilly Berti added three aces and a kill and Mackenzee Epperson had two aces and a kill. Ally Yoder added two aces in the win.

Trenton dropped the C game at the start of the night 22-25, 25-16, 12-15. Sarah Washburn and Haley Shultz each had two aces and one kill while Jamie Burkeybile finished with three aces. Zoie McGowan and Tierney Doolittle finished with two

aces and one ace respectively. vs. EAST BUCHANAN Trenton was brought back to reality on Tuesday as its two-match winning streak was snapped on the road against East Buchanan. The Bulldogs were never in the opening game, falling 25-4 and, despite Trenton being much more competitive in game two, East Buchanan finished off the victory with a 25-17 win. McCullough had one block and Natalie Ricker and Fewins each had one dig.

Trenton fell 25-17, 25-12 in the junior varsity match, getting two aces from Baker and an ace and a dig from Epperson. Berti had one dig. Trenton lost the C game 25-14, 25-8. Washburn had four aces and one kill, Katie Markell had one ace and one dig and Doolittle had one ace.

Trenton returned to action Thursday night, traveling to South Harrison, and will be at the Carrollton Tournament on Saturday.

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

Bulldogs Come Up Short In Dual With Cardinals The Trenton High School girls tennis team just missed a win on Monday in St. Joseph, falling 5-4 to the Benton Cardinals.

Trenton put itself behind in doubles play, dropping two of three matches, and the split the Bulldogs got in singles action doomed Trenton to the narrow loss. Lexi Gott and Kendall Crowley were close, but came up short in an 8-6 doubles loss.

Gwyneth Foster and Mallory Sole were defeated 8-5 in doubles play and Morgan Dolan and Alaina Overton picked up the first Trenton victory of the day, winning 8-4.

Overton and Dolan carried the momentum of their doubles victory into singles play as Dolan was an 8-0 winner and Overton netted an 8-1 win. The Bulldogs’ other singles victory came from Foster, who won 8-5. Gott fell 8-1, Crowley lost 8-3 and Sole was defeated 8-0.

Trenton swept junior varsity play as Baley Catron and Emilee Lovell combined for doubles wins of 6-1 and 6-0 and each picked up a singles win to make the JV 4-0 at the event. Catron won her singles match 6-1 and Lovell was a 6-2 winner. vs. LEXINGTON Trenton bounced back from Monday’s defeat with a 9-0 win on the road in Lexington on Tuesday.

Trenton controlled the dial from the onset, winning two doubles matches and taking the third via forfeit. Gott and Crowley won 8-1 as did the duo of Foster and Sole.

In singles play, the Bulldogs continued to pick up wins by lopsided margins. Gott was an 8-1 winner at number one while Crowley won 8-0 at two and Foster won 8-2 at three. Sole won 8-1 and Dolan and Overton both picked up 8-0 victories.

“It’s nice to end the regular season on a win,” Ockenfels said.

“Now the girls will begin preparing for districts.”

With the win, Trenton moved to 6-7 overall on the season.

Trenton will host a district semifinal dual on Oct. 8 at the THS tennis courts with first serves set for 4 p.m. Trenton’s opponent will be the winner of a quarterfinal match-up between Lexington and Richmond.

CLOSING TIME All-GRC Golfers Take Final Trip Around RCC One day after earning AllGrand River Conference honors for the second year in a row, Trenton High School senior golfers Maci Henson and Oakley Madden made one final competitive round at their home course - the Riverside Country Club.

Henson and Madden finished one-two respectively as Trenton won a triangular with Princeton and Maysville on Tuesday.

Henson took medalist honors, carding a 47. Madden finished runner-up with a 55 as Trenton posted a team score of 222 to top Maysville (238) and Princeton (265).

Behind Henson and Madden, Trenton got a 58 from fellow senior Ann Airey while Josie Chumbley rounded out the team total with a 62 and Mari Atup came around the nine-hole layout with a 67.

“We had a good day and picked up a couple wins on senior night,” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “Maci took medalist honors and Oakley was runner-up. Our third senior, Ann Airey, played very well and turned in the best score of her career. It’s always nice for the seniors to get a win in the last home match of their careers.”

GRC TOURNAMENT On Monday, Trenton was at the Grand River Conference Tournament at the Veteran’s Memorial Golf Course in Cameron. Trenton shot a team score of 499, good for third place at the event. Gallatin won the conference title with a mark of 483 and Albany was runner-up, missing the top spot by a single stroke at 484.

Trenton, each earning AllGRC honors for the second consecutive year.

Henson was third overall with a score of 105. She had a consistent day, carding a 52 on the front nine and a 53 on the back to reach her total.

Madden, meanwhile, was fourth individually at the tournament. She shot a 51 on the front nine and finished up with a back-nine 56 to reach her 18hole total.

Chumbley shot a 142 behind Henson and Madden and Mari Atup rounded out the Bulldogs’ team total with a

score of 145. vs. RICHMOND Trenton wrapped up a busy week of golf on Wednesday, traveling to Richmond for a dual with the Spartans. Trenton only had three golfers make the trip and the dual was played with Richmond’s course modified into a par-3 course.

Henson again led Trenton, shooting a 43 to finish second at the dual individually. Chumbley was one shot off Henson’s pace, carding a 44 to tie for second - four shots behind the medalist. Atup was also in ac-

tion for Trenton, shooting an even 50.

“I was very proud of how the girls played,” Mullenix said. “Maci had three holes where she three-putted, so she could have turned in a slightly better score but 43 isn’t bad. I thought Josie really had a good day. Her short game is her strength and that showed today. Mari also had some good holes.”

Trenton will be in district action on Monday, traveling to Chillicothe to begin postseason play. Tee time for the event is set for 9 a.m.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL - WEEK 6

MILAN

BULLDOGS WILDCATS STILL HUNTING 0-5, 0-3 GRC

2-3, 1-2 GRC

Trenton Hoping To Avoid Turnovers, Find First Win In Week 6

Over the course of the 2019 high school football season the Trenton Bulldogs have found games where they have been good enough to win. On each of those occasions, however, costly turnovers denied the Bulldogs a victory.

And so, heading into week 6, Trenton still finds itself searching for win number one. The opponent, the Milan Wildcats, was not one many would have circled as a high potential for a victory at the onset of the season. The Wildcats are the reigning Grand River Conference champions and were picked first in the GRC Coaches Poll prior to the season. But things have changed in recent weeks and the Wildcats are looking at Trenton as an opportunity to stop the bleeding after dropping their last two games - 25-24 at Princeton two weeks ago and 14-13 in overtime against Putnam County last Friday. Milan is 2-3 overall, with all three losses coming by a single point, and 1-2 within the GRC. “I think (Milan) is a pretty big, physical football team, they just struggle like we all do,” Trenton Head Coach Kevin Hixson said. “You know, you can’t turn the ball over, you can’t get complacent and then people are geared up. When you are the team with the target on your back, you get

everybody’s ‘A’ game every week.”

Trenton would certainly like to give Milan it’s “A” game, but that will start with not giving up the football. Trenton has turned the ball over in some critical situations in the past two weeks, taking the Bulldogs out of games against opponents that they moved the ball on productively.

“When you turn the ball over you put yourself behind the 8-ball and then you have to climb out of the hole,” Hixson said. “It’s tough to do. When I came here, I didn’t think that we would be 0-5, but it is what it is and most of it is self-inflicted.

We have some talented kids, but you have to overcome turnovers. Most of it is just mental, we don’t stay focused for 48 minutes.”

Trenton has had stretches of really good play in recent weeks, but hasn’t been able to sustain that play over a full game yet.

The Bulldogs outscored Putnam County, the team that just defeated Milan, 14-0 in the second half of their match-up two weeks ago. Last week, before a lightning delay stopped the action early in the second quarter, Trenton was controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and had a 7-0 lead against Princeton.

This week, Trenton will again hope to

put a full game together.

“I told our kids, ‘if we go out and play hard for 48 minutes we can have some success’,” Hixson said. “We have played pretty good for a half. We have played with some emotion and excitement for a quarter, but we have to put it all together for 48 minutes.”

Trenton’s defense has helped keep the Bulldogs in each of its last three games, despite being put in some tough positions with the offensive turnovers. This week will be as big of a challenge as Trenton has had since conference play began as the Wildcats have no shortage of options.

Milan’s offense hasn’t put up the numbers it did last year, but the Wildcats do have weapons.

Quarterback Ryan Dabney is a dual threat player and has solid receiving threats, his favorite of which is wide receiver Hunter Shaw. In the backfield with Dabney is his younger brother, running back Dominic Dabney, and full back Deric Doporto. Those two give the Wildcats a good balance as Doporto is a big power back with a lot of size and Dominic Dabney is a quick runner who gives the Wildcats more of a speed option. Dre Morehead will also see a few carries within the Milan offense.

“They are a solid football team,” Hixson said. “They are big, they are physical and they have running backs that can slash it and also punch it through. The quarterback is a big tall kid who can see over everybody and he can throw the ball if he wants to.”

The Bulldogs and Wildcats will kick off their Grand River Conference showdown at 7 p.m. Friday from Cal Hubbard Field in ‘The Pit.’

OP/ED

Five Points

by Wendell Lenhart

Vitamin C6 And The Community Newspaper Next week is National Newspaper Week and to celebrate, I am sharing a column about newspapers written by Peter W. Wagner, founder and publisher of the N’West Iowa Review: Hometown publications invigorate their trade area with powerful shots of Vitamin C6. These powerful ingredients assure: [1] continuity, [2] cooperation, [3] credibility, [4] commitment, [5] consensus and [6] a true sense of community.

No other form of public communication has the reach or depth to do so Wendell Lenhart much day after day. The natural value of Vitamin C6 brings life, direction and stimulation to the area served.

1. CONTINUITY. Locally written and edited papers are the most reliable link to the past as well as the most dependable source of informative details regarding what is happening that day or week.

Local newspapers are the first writers of current history. They are the most-often researched source for individuals seeking family records or community social or cultural information about the past. The community newspaper provides a lifeline that provides continuity from generation to generation as well as between the town’s various interest groups.

2. COOPERATION. The hometown newspaper encourages local teamwork for the good of all. As the leading media connecting with the majority of local families, the paper is in a position to educate, encourage and clearly explain “the why” something is happening in the community and how citizens can cooperate with those making the necessary changes and improvements.

Radio cannot create the same levels of cooperation.

There are too many different stations for any of them to earn the attention of the masses. The internet can’t.

That media is overloaded with as many differing opinion blog sites, ideas and voices as stars in the sky. Many of them are shortsighted and biased.

3. CREDIBILITY. A newspaper’s future depends on earning and keeping the respect of the local readers, advertisers and community leaders. Newspapers cannot afford to get the facts wrong or to take sides when reporting a story. A newspaper’s reputation depends upon its credibility. In the mind of the reader, that hardearned expectation of honesty and dependability extends beyond the editorial material, to the ads and openly published opinion pieces.

4. COMMITMENT. The men and women who own, manage and produce a local newspaper live and raise their families in the town where they are staking their business. They are committed to making that town the best possible place to live, work and invest. Their children attend the local schools, worship in the local churches and play in the local parks. The family depends upon the decisionmakers for their individual safety and a certain quality of life. Their commitment to building a better community makes a local paper the town’s leading cheerleader for all important events and projects. Papers support those projects with their stories, advertising space, time and often even their own dollars.

5. CONSENSUS. Only the local newspaper can create consensus in today’s widely changing and diverse community. Radio stations cannot. None have enough listeners to create a general agreement on any subject.

Broadcast television cannot. Their coverage area is too large to be able to promote ideas for the common good of a nearby town. Internet bloggers and Facebook cannot. There aren’t two bloggers or websites with the same idea, message or purpose. Only the community newspaper, subscribed to and delivered to the majority of homes in the community, can change minds, offer detailed ideas and motivate a wide range of citizens to one common, worthwhile solution.

6. COMMUNITY. Everyone belongs to a number of communities: the town they live in, the church they attend, the high school whose team they and their friends cheer for, the organizations they belong to and, finally, the place where they work. Individuals are part of those groups because it makes them feel comfortable, safe and secure and often provides an exciting challenge or satisfying experience. Being part of a community offers recreation and educational opportunities, guarantees a better, more balanced life and provides sources of income.

Man does not normally want to live alone. The hometown newspaper has for generations been the first form of local social media and protector of individual rights.

Newspapers help enforce that important sense of community with powerful storytelling, reliable reporting and solid leadership. They create a closely-knit group of individuals sharing a common hope, goal and purpose.

What Others Are Saying...

Science & Climate Change How much is the world's temperature rising? What's causing it? Most importantly, how fast should we address this problem and how much should be sacrificed in short-term economic gains?

Guest Editorials The reason a solution remains elusive isn't because old people live in a fairy-tale world, as 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg suggests at her now-famous United Nations speech. It's because climate change is viewed as a political problem, with all the baggage that entails, rather than one with a scientific or technological answer.

Perhaps this was inevitable ever since Al Gore got involved after losing the 2000 race for president. Maybe there's an alternate universe where Gore wins Florida and Texas Gov. George W. Bush leads a crusade to save the planet.

That's not the world we inhabit right now.

We live in a world where a teenager takes the microphone and tells an older generation: "How dare you.

We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money. You are failing us."

Here's another inconvenient truth: Despite fawning worldwide media coverage, Thunberg's speech does not belong with great oratory of the past.

Imagine a world where Martin Luther King Jr. stands in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Instead of saying, "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking

from the cup of bitterness and hatred," he points a finger at white America and says, "You have failed us."

Imagine that Winston Churchill, instead of invoking "Our Finest Hour" after the Dunkirk evacuations, tells the House of Commons, "We are on the brink of extinction."

What if Americans suffering through the Great Depression turned on the radio and heard President Roosevelt say that their dreams of future prosperity were nothing more than a fairy tale?

Maybe Thunberg got the science right, though some will debate whether mass extinction is imminent. But she did little to advance the cause of rolling back climate change. In fact, she set the movement back, not because of what she had to say but because of how she said it.

An inability to uplift and offer hope, while still outlining a critical problem, means both sides retreat to their rhetorical corners. Now, she's added a generational wedge to go along with the one between the political left and right.

In terms of tone, Thunberg's performance brought up memories of a tantrum at a U.N. General Assembly nearly 60 years ago. At least she didn't pound a shoe on a desk, but she did imply that capitalism would be swamped instead of buried this time.

Time proved Khrushchev wrong. We'll see how it goes for Thunberg. Climate change is a problem that must be taken seriously, but it might be time for a new spokesperson.

Harry Truman’s Statehouse Legacy

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News A recent visit my wife and I paid to Harry S Truman's library and museum in Independence caused me to reminisce about Truman's legacy in Missouri's statehouse.

Guest Editorials It's a complicated story about how the bust of the state's only U.S. President has been handled in the state Capitol.

When I began covering the statehouse, Truman's bust had a special position in Capitol building.

It was located on the main floor, overlooking Missouri's great seal underneath the rotunda.

That location made the bust one of the first things Capitol visitors saw when they entered the building.

But no longer!

Increasingly, the state administration allows private groups to use the rotunda for private ceremonies and rallies.

To facilitate these private events, a gray wall-board panel was installed that blocked the rotunda exit where Truman's bust was located.

In front of the panel was a stage for speakers.

So rather than Capitol visitors, Truman faced a wall just a few inches from his face.

Initially, that wall board obscuring Turman's bust was temporary for rotunda events.

In recent years, it's become nearly permanent.

Finally, Truman's bust was moved from behind the wall, but to a less prominent position.

It's now on a side wall of the entrance through which visitors pass.

But it's a far less prominent position located behind a barricade for screening visitors.

The move may not have been the first insult to our state's only U.S. president.

In the House Lounge are Thomas Hart Benton's murals of Missouri's history.

One scene is of Kansas City area's political boss and subsequent convicted felon Tom Pendergast presiding over a meeting as if he was a political king.

In the audience of that scene sits a person who sure looks like Truman.

A Capitol historian has told me that's actually not Truman, but another Kansas City politician.

But an elderly guide at the Truman museum in Independence told me Truman's portrayal in the Capitol was the cause of Truman's initial resistance to having Benton paint a mural for the entrance to Truman's museum founded about two decades after the Capitol murals were painted.

It says something about Truman, I think, that he ultimately agreed to have Benton paint his library's mural that portrays the early exploration of the Midwest and interaction with native Americans.

The guide told me that part of the reason Truman agreed was the friendship the two men developed enjoying Truman's favorite drink, bourbon.

That recollection reminded me of

my last night as a reporter in the U.S. Capitol.

Visiting the Capitol with my wife that night, I ran into the historic House doorkeeper, 'Fishbait' Miller.

His real name was William Miller, but everyone knew him as Fishbait.

Fishbait took us to the House speaker's hideaway room where he said Truman and a small group of senators were enjoying his favorite drink when he got the message that Franklin Roosevelt had died making Truman our country's next president.

From my tour of Truman's library, I had another thought about his lost legacy for Missouri.

From the museum, I learned that Truman held a news conference with reporters an average of every nine days.

I was not surprised. One of my journalism mentors who covered Truman as a photographer, the late Jack Hackethorn, described with joy Truman's candor and access.

But that legacy of access and candor by the only president from Missouri has faded in recent Missouri governors and state administrations.

I miss greeting Harry Truman's bust every day I came into the Capitol.

I also miss governors and state administrators of years past who followed the adage of Truman's Oval Office House desk sign that "the Buck Stops here."

For recent state administrations, the sign could be "the Buck Stops with my spokespersons."

Hometown Boy

by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri

QUIETLY, PHOTO WORKSHOPPERS DOCUMENT STORIES IN BOONVILLE It was a big week in Boonville. The historic river town in the center of the state hosted the 71st annual Missouri Photo Workshop. hirty-nine photographers came to town for eight days to learn documentary photojournalism. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a method started by Cliff Edom, MU professor, in 1949. His idea started teaching press photographers to stop posing pictures to start making photo stories.

The idea works. Back then press photographers used 4x5 cameras. The film measured 4x5 inches, each frame developed individually. The real advance came years later with 35mm cameras. A roll of film held 36 frames.

These â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniatureâ&#x20AC;? cameras were tiny compared to 4x5.

Photo skills shifted to candid pictures of people doing their jobs. Workshoppers learn to be less intrusive and not direct ac-

tions. They learn to capture fleeting moments in lives of subjects.

The equipment differs now.

Digital cameras hold almost unlimited capacity. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer a limit of 36 frames per roll of Tri-X film.

Limitless digital frames become a burden. When snapping free and easy, it becomes a big job to edit photos down to eight or 10 needed for a story.

Today, faculty limits 400 photos for the week. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students fret with limits. Some canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop snapping and use half their frames the first morning. The teachers mean only 400 frames, no more.

MPW teaches patience.

Wait and see brings a new mode. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look and learn. Make only pictures that tell a story.

Saturday at workshop end a stream of Boonville people came to see what photographers saw. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing.

These days many visitors carry cameras, in their cellphones. More pictures were made. Selfies show subject and â&#x20AC;&#x153;their photographer.â&#x20AC;?

I overheard one workshopper tell his amazement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came here I thought no one would allow me into their home; but my subjects welcomed me. Now, they want me to come back.â&#x20AC;?

Cliff Edom knew small town people accept strangers. It still happens.

Long ago at a workshop I heard a photographer from New York tell his amazement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People I pass on the street say 'Hi' to me.â&#x20AC;? That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in big cities.

After 37 workshops, I see changes; but friendliness of rural people remains.

My history with MPW, reaches longer than anyone. I first attended as a workshop student back in 1960. I was new to my job as MU Extension Ag Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. I wrote stories and shot one-frame posed photo to illustrate them.

I lugged along a 4x5 press camera.

After MPW, I brought a â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniatureâ&#x20AC;? camera to MU Extension to make press photos.

Much later, I returned to MPW on the faulty. More

amazing, later Cliff named me MPW co-director in 1986 when he retired.

By then I not only made photos, but also taught ag journalism. Cliff chose me for my experience extending information to farmers across the state. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d learned to teach adults.

Bill Kuykendall, professor leading MU photojournalism, and I ran the school for years.

Others lead now. I attend as co-director emeritus. I help with words. Photojournalism by its name combines pictures and words. Every photo needs words.

A photo is worth a 1,000 words, myth says. Each photo raises lots of questions. Captions reinforce pictures in a neat pairing.

Facebook photographers rarely learn that. Even selfies need words. Often family photos leave too many questions.

Next time you post snapshots on Facebook add words.

A few words will tell: who, what, when, where and why.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the minimum.

In 71 years MPW documented 50 towns. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go to smaller towns; but need motels and cafes for 80 people.

Which town next? duanedailey7@gmail.com.

Corn Denting, Soybeans Setting Pods Temperatures last week averaged 69.9 degrees, 7.1 degrees above normal.

Precipitation averaged 1.91 inches statewide, 0.91 inches above normal.

There were 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sept. 29,.

Topsoil moisture supply was rated 3 percent very short, 18 percent short, 62 percent adequate and 17 percent surplus.

Subsoil moisture supply was rated 1 percent very short, 8 percent short, 80 percent adequate and 11 percent surplus.

Corn dented progressed to 96 percent, while corn matured progressed to 72 percent, 23 percentage points behind last year. Corn harvested for grain progressed to 26 percent. Corn condition was rated at 5 percent very poor, 16 percent poor, 33 percent fair, 41 percent good and 5 percent excellent.

Soybeans setting pods progressed to 96 percent, 1 percentage point ahead of last year. Soybean coloring progressed to 58 percent this week with soybeans dropping

NW Missouri Horticulture

by Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist SAVING TREE SEEDS, PART I Dedicated gardeners are often people who love to try new things. New plants, new varieties of familiar plants, new techniques... they are always looking for a better way to grow a garden, orchard or landscape plants. Often this experimental nature expresses itself in starting woody plants from seed.

This not only provides plants at a very low cost, but gives a

greater sense of accomplishment having raised the plant from a seedling.

For those of us with of a severe case of this experimental disposition, fall weather brings on the temptation to save seeds from anything in sight. Fall is the time when most species have mature seed, and this is our main window of opportunity for seed gathering. To insure suc-

leaves progressing to 26 percent, 30 percentage points behind last year. Soybean harvested progressed to 1 percent this week. Soybean condition was rated at 4 percent very poor, 10 percent poor, 36 percent fair, 44 percent good and 6 percent excellent.

Winter wheat planted progressed to 3 percent, 4 percentage points behind last year and the five-year average. Winter wheat emerged progressed to 1 percent this week.

cess when planting them, seeds should be given proper handling.

If they are gathered and stored in less-than-optimal conditions, germination rates may be poor when you plant them.

Actually, the best way to "store" them is to immediately plant them where you want them to grow. This duplicates the natural cycle that the tree would go through, with a little extra help on your part. Be aware that some seeds may have extra germination requirements, so this method could delay germination if those requirements are not met. If you need to store them indoors, place them in the refrigerator in a jar with a tight lid or in a sealed plastic bag. Keep them there until you are ready to plant in the spring.

If you are storing seeds that are surrounded by a fleshy fruit or berry, be sure to remove the

fleshy part before storage. You can do this manually or by letting the seeds sit in water for a few days until the fruit begins to decompose. This will allow the easy removal of the seed, but it is messy and is definitely smelly.

The reason that you should keep the seeds in the refrigerator is that many seeds have a built-in period of dormancy. In the outdoors, this keeps them from germinating immediately in the fall, and going into winter as a young plant. These seeds must receive a certain number of hours at chilling temperatures before they will successfully germinate. Winter-long storage in the refrigerator will satisfy this requirement. Planting outdoors immediately after harvest will do this as well, and is less work.

In my next column, I will give you a few more hints on how to successfully save tree seeds.

Weather Still Challenging Missouri Farmers Most soybean and corn likely will yield less than normal this year due to late planting and unfavorable weather during critical grain-fill periods, says University of Missouri Extension soybean specialist Bill Wiebold.

According to a Sept. 4 USDA Farm Service Agency report, wet and flooded fields kept Missouri farmers from planting 750,000 acres or 21% of corn and 480,000 acres or 9% of soybean.

Farmers planted most intended acres, but after the optimal time. USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service says about 50% of planted corn emerged after May 26.

Half of soybean emerged after June 23.

Yield depends largely on weather at certain growth stagesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;July and August for corn and August and September for soybean. Temperature and rain during grain fill affect yields greatly.

Wiebold recently studied Missouri Mesonet weather data and crops over four months at five Missouri locations to look at 2019 crop potential.

He explains that nighttime temperatures affect yield due to respiration rate. Higher temperatures cause faster respiration and raise the potential for yield loss. High nighttime temperatures respire away sugars needed for yield.

In a nutshell, night temperatures below 65F are good for yield and above 75F are bad for yield, he says.

Wiebold found nights during June were unusually cool in much of Missouri. At Novelty and Columbia, temperatures dropped below 65F more than two-thirds of the nights.

Cool nights decreased growing degree day accumulation and slowed corn development in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late-planted corn would have benefited from warmer than normal daily minimum temperatures in June,â&#x20AC;? he says.

NASS reported that 80% of Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn crop reached silk stage by Aug. 1, about two weeks later than normal. As a result, most corn grain fill occurred in August. Temperatures fell below 65 F most nights and only rose above 75 â&#x20AC;˘WANTEDâ&#x20AC;˘ FARM GROUND to Lease!

F occasionally. This should help yields, Wiebold says.

Minimum temperatures during August should help soybean yield also, he says. Due to late planting, more than 50% of Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soybean crop flowered after Aug. 1.

Late planting also pushed back the R4 growth stage, the most critical time when soybean set pods. This year, most Missouri soybean fields did not reach R4 until late August, making September weather more important than usual.

Wiebold says September night temperatures have not been a concern until recently, when maximum temperatures reached 10 to 20 degrees above normal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These hot temperatures had little direct effect on soybean growth, but they increased water evaporation, and that aggravates lack of rain,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Precipitation - too much or too little - challenged Missouri corn and soybean farmers during the entire 2019 growing season. For normal soybean and corn yields, fields need a little more than an inch of rain each week.

Too much rain during planting results in soil compaction and increases disease potential. Wet weather caused poor stands in some areas. Heavy rain also created problems in replanted fields.

One of the worst weather patterns for yield is wet spring weather preceding drought stress, Wiebold says. When this happens, root systems may not recover. Small, unhealthy root systems cannot get enough water to plants.

The northern part of the state faced this weather pattern, with dry weather arriving as early as mid-June or July.

Expect lower corn and soybean yields there as a result.

Wiebold looked at rainfall patterns for seven-day periods in September and total monthly rainfall. Lack of rain in the first two weeks of September plagued late-planted soybean and ultra-late-planted corn. Peak demand for water happens during grain fill.

Many soybean fields are in the midst of rapid grain filling now due to late planting caused by the wet spring and normal double-cropping. Unfortunately, weather has turned dry, with little or no rain after mid-August. A week of hot, dry weather can negate â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? weather that occurred earlier.

Rain from here on out will be too late for most crops, Wiebold says.

Hot, dry weather during grain fill can result in small seeds and premature plant death. Test weights for corn are often less than normal because of the stress. Seeds on soybean plants that die because of drought may stay green. Buyers often dock green seeds.

Kaycee West, patient access representative at Wright Memorial Hospital, right, was honored as the hospital's Employee of the Quarter for the 2019 third quarter. Chief Executive Officer Steve Schieber, left, presented the award at a ceremony on Sept. 30. The award recognizes an employee who provides exemplary service, going beyond the call of duty to support fellow employees or to comfort or assist patients and their families. In her nomination form, Ms. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-workers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kaycee is very caring and a great team player. She ensures that patients have everything completed prior to appointment times, which makes things run smoothly for the patient when they arrive. She is always willing to help her team members as well. Kaycee always has a smile on her face and does her best to accommodate the needs of patients, coworkers, and other departments.â&#x20AC;? For winning the award, Ms. West received an Employee of the Quarter certificate, the parking space of her choice for three months, three eStore vouchers, a gift certificate to the hospital gift shop, her name posted on the Employee of the Quarter wall plaque and acknowledgement in the local media and hospital employee intranet.

The Black Silo Foundation raised the funds through the Wheels and Wine Car Show, held in June, and the MidAmerica Music Festival presented by CFM Insurance, held in July. The car show raised $2,146 that went to Camp Rainbow while the music festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $7,243.30 supported BTC Area Youth Benefit Corp., Camp Rainbow, Green Hills Women's Shelter, North Central Missouri Children's Advocacy Center and the Foundation Trust for Trenton High School. Checks have been presented to those entities benefitting from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Advantage?

Those signing up for a Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as MA or Part C) still receive their Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical coverage). However, they will receive their coverage from a private insurer, and not from Original Medicare. Those with a Medicare Advantage Plan will continue to pay their Part B premium and may also pay an extra premium for the plan. While Medicare Advantage Plans typically impose deductibles and copays, they have an annual outof-pocket limit (unlike Original Medicare). Once these out-of-pocket limits are met, the plan will pay 100% of the insured's medical bills for the remainder of the year.

Individuals opting for a Medicare Advantage Plan are not permitted to simultaneously have a Medigap policy.

NOTE: As long as a person is enrolled in Medicare, he or she can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, once annually, during the annual open enrollment period, which runs from October 15 through December 7th.

Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer extra coverage, like vision, hearing, dental, and/or health and wellness programs. Robert W. Barnes Insurance Agency understands that each individual and/or family has unique personal needs related to their health insurance coverage. We evaluate your financial limitations, coverage needs and your specific provider (Dr. and Hospital) preferences to help you select a suitable program from the best options available in your area. For more information, please call 660-359-5973, or visit us at 915 E. 9th St. We specialize in individual and group insurance, Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Prescription Drug plans.

“A Word From...” by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance

Rev. Dale Stone Interim Pastor Hodge Presbyterian Church GOD’S BLESSINGS One of my reading interests has been polar exploration. I appreciate reading about the challenges and risks of those exploring the North and South poles over the past 300 to 400 years. They took tremendous risks and many explorers lost their lives in these lands.

Recently, I read the book “Beyond Cape Horn, Travels in the Antarctic” by Charles Neider. It is a more recent book by a person who traveled the area and wrote his reflections. At one point Mr. Neider was writing observations about Janus Island and said: “The place was a gray-sharded wasteland...the sameness of shape and color, the vast surfeit of it all. Then I remembered I didn't have to have my vision bound by such an ungifted place, and when I gazed upward from it I saw glassy, pale-blue water, islets, and sweetly white and blued and sloping small bergs sailing under a brightening maritime sky, and my spirits lifted and my view of myself improved.”

There are days and times when for any of us, life can feel like Charles Neider had experienced looking at that “gray-sharded wasteland.”

Events within our lives and community or events from the broader world can wear us down, cause us to feel blue, bring out our gloom.

I live in Kirksville and drive to Trenton each Sunday and Wednesday. I count this drivetime a blessing as I have watched crops planted and now harvested, trees sprout leaves and now falling, migrating birds, blossoming flowers and even those bridge improvements on Highway 6.

Each trip has a way of brightening my spirits, deepening my appreciation of God's creation, and giving God thanks for the stewards who care for the fruitful land of north Missouri.

As believers, we can read a Psalm or teaching of Jesus, find Christian fellowship and be alone with God in prayer and find our spirits lifted.

There are many blessings around. God is quite aware that we all have those long days and God is always near to listen, walk beside us, and lift our spirits as we are embraced by the love we know God showers upon. Creation is one of those blessings as well.

May God's blessings, world, community, and people daily provide you opportunities to have your spirits lifted and view of the world improved.

The Cox family dental practice has been in existence for 95 years and is still growing.

With a staff of six, they are committed to being the best that they can be. And who knows who might join the legacy of caring, compassionate providers of family dentistry in the next generation?

One thing is for sure - history speaks for itself and the commitment to offer the highest level of care has and will always be foremost to the Cox family; not to mention the opportunity to develop friendships with their patients and their families and the opportunity to restore a patient’s smile with skill, predictability and compassion.

A proud family tradition is what the Trenton Rotary Club and the Missouri Day Steering Committee sought in selecting their 2019 grand marshal and the Cox family is the perfect fit.
