Finance Committee

City Faces Insurance Rate Increase The Finance Committee of the Trenton City Council is recommending two employee health insurance plan options to the council for approval following action taken during a meeting on Thursday night.

The city will have its insurance coverage with the Missouri Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (MIRMA), whom the city council has already approved to provide all of the city insurance coverage. MIRMA includes 18 communities from across the state who have formed a pool in an effort to get better coverage rates. MIRMA/MIRMA Health Executive Director Matthew Brodersen was at the meeting to explain the new pool coverage, which is in its first year. MIRMA has provided the city health insurance coverage in the past through a self-funded program.

The new plans would cost the city an additional $86,758 over what is currently being paid for health

insurance coverage. This would include a 14.7 percent increase for the regular individual employee coverage (Plan 6), which will go from $638.99 to $733 per month per employee. Regular coverages that include spouse, children and family will also increase in the 14.2 to 14.6 percent range. All but one city employee currently has this coverage, which will have a $2,500 individual deductible for an in-network provider and a $5,000 deductible for using an out-ofnetwork provider. Out-of-pocket individual maximums are $4,500 and $9,000.

A second plan with a higher deductible (Plan 9) would see a decrease, with the individual employee cost going from $632.36 to $603 per month. Spouse, child and family rates would also see a decrease. The in-network provider deductible would be $4,500 while the out-of-network deductible would be $9,000.

The individual out-of-pocket would be $6,000 and

$12,000.

Brodersen noted that the new plans cover the same services as what was included in the previous coverage and that they include preventive care services at no cost to the employee. Plans also include an annual no-cost eye exam for all participants, no-cost diabetic testing strips and lancets, a telemedicine benefit and prescription drug coverage. The co-pays, applicable deductible payments and co-insurance amounts and prescription co-plans all count toward the out of pocket maximum on all plans.

The recommendation will go to the council for approval at the Nov. 25 meeting. Open enrollment would begin the first week in December, with the new coverage to begin on Jan. 1.

In other business, the committee had its six-month review of city revenues and expenses.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — After scrambling to pull together $50 million in tax breaks for General Motors, some Missouri lawmakers say the company is coming up short so far with its promises for job retention at a suburban St. Louis plant.

Lawmakers secured the incentives late last session at the urging of Republican Gov. Mike Parson, whose administration warned that the tax credits were needed to persuade GM to invest in its Wentzville plant.

GM builds the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks and the Chevrolet Express Cargo and GMC Savana full-size vans in Wentzville.

Six months later, GM promised to invest $1.5 billion in the site as part of a deal reached with the United Auto Workers that ended a contentious a 40-day strike.

Under that agreement, the company pledged to keep 2,000 jobs in Wentzville — less than half of the roughly 4,300 currently employed there, according to GM’s website.

That frustrated lawmakers, especially House members who unsuccessfully tried to require GM to meet staffing thresholds to get the $50 million in state tax credits.

“We are giving millions to these corporations when we know at the exact same time that they’re going to be laying off Missouri workers,” Democratic House Minority Leader Crystal Quade said.

St. Louis Democratic Rep. Peter Merideth said he wants state economic development officials to push GM to retain all the current positions at the plant before doling out incentives.

“Any less than that is us just giving away tax dollars to lay off workers,” he said.

Despite the union agreement, Department of Economic Development Director Rob Dixon could still demand that the company agree to keep more than 2,000 positions in Wentzville to qualify for the tax credits. But it’s unclear where negotiations stand at this point.

Spokeswoman Maggie Kost in an email said the agency is still in talks with GM and “cannot discuss the details of our agreement until those negotiations close.”

Dixon has previously said businesses that receive job-retention incentives are required, on average, to keep 88% of their workforce.

Republican Rep. Nick Schroer, whose district includes the Wentzville plant, pushed for an amendment to require GM to keep 90% of the site’s jobs to qualify for tax benefits. The amended See GM, Page 6

SHARING THE WEALTH Pirates Tally 38 Assists In A Pair Of Victories At Kansas City Kansas Classic

Marty Jackson was a really good player on North Central Missouri College’s 2018-2019 Region XVI championship team.

A year later, out of the shadow of a remarkable sophomore class from last season, he is showing what he is truly capable of.

Over the weekend, Jackson led North Central to a pair of victories to win the Kansas City Kansas Community College Classic.

On Friday, North Central bested Labette Community College 111-109 in three overtimes behind 30 points from Jackson.

On Saturday, the Pirates wrapped up the championship with a 100-86 win over host KCKCC. Jackson had 19 more points in the second victory in as many days.

“Marty Jackson was huge for us all weekend,” North Central Head Coach Jeremy Esry said. “Not only does he produce stat-wise for us, but he brings the energy that our entire team feeds off of.

He proved again this weekend that, when he is locked in and focused, he can be one of the best players in the nation.”

The Pirates earned the win over La-

bette, needing every second of all three overtimes to get the job done.

“Friday night was a crazy night,” Esry said. “We controlled the game for most of the 55 minutes, but could never put Labette away until the last seconds of the third overtime.”

Labette had no answers for Jackson on Friday. In addition to his game-high 30 points, the NCMC forward pulled down nine rebounds and swatted five shot attempts on the defensive end.

Behind their leading man, the rest of the Pirates enjoyed a strong offensive day. Jeramy Shaw went for 28 points and six rebounds, adding four steals and three assists. TJ Babikir finished with 15 points and four assists, Atavian Butler had 12 points and six rebounds off the bench and Damien Loyd had 10 points and six assists. Quinan Rieves had nine points, 12 rebounds and four assists in the Pirates’ win.

Key to the strong offensive showing was the Pirates’ willingness to share the ball. On 34 made baskets, the Pirates had 21 assists.

The Pirates disposed of the host Blue

Devils on Saturday with a similar game plan. North Central handed out 17 more assists, pushing their two-day total to 38.

Jackson again led the Pirates, adding seven rebounds to his 19 points. Loyd had 16 points and three steals and Butler had another strong game off the bench, finishing with 13 points. The Pirates also got 12 points, eight rebounds and three assists from Rieves and 12 points and five assists from Babikir. Shaw finished with 11 points and five rebounds.

“I was really impressed with our guys’ focus and resiliency all weekend,” Esry said. “For us to play two quality opponents from one of the top Division II JUCO conferences in the nation and come away with two wins, it was a really good weekend.”

With the two victories, the Pirates moved to 6-1 overall on the season. The Pirates continue to receive votes in the latest NJCAA Division II poll, sitting five spots out of the top 20.

Next up for the Pirates is a home matchup with the Peru State junior varsity tonight (Tuesday). Action at the Ketcham Community Center tips off at 7 p.m.

KCKCC 77, NCMC 65

NCMC Women Hold Their Own Against KCK The North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team is already showing itself to be much improved from last year’s 7-20 record. The Pirates showed just how good they are capable of being on Saturday, when they took fourth-ranked Kansas City Kansas Community College to the limit on the Blue Devils’ home floor.

Though it ended in a 77-65 loss, North Central was in the game right up to the end. The Pirates opened the game with a 13-9 lead in the first quarter

and put the fourth-ranked team in the nation on notice. KCK responded in the second quarter, taking a 33-31 halftime lead.

Things continued to tilt KCK’s way in the third quarter as the Pirates saw the slim deficit grow to 11 points in the third frame, but NCMC continued to keep itself in the game throughout the fourth quarter.

“We played a pretty good first half, but didn’t show up in the first five minutes of the second half,” North Central

Head Coach Jenni Croy said.

“Against good teams like that you’ve got to put together four solid quarters. I was pleased, however, with how we responded in the fourth quarter.”

Leading the way for NCMC in the loss was Lily Osborn who, despite not having her best effort from beyond the three-point line, still managed 18 points, five rebounds and four assists. Da'Briauna Bables had 12 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks and Brittney McKay had 12 points and five

rebounds. Kortlyn Rounkles finished with 11 points. vs. FORT SCOTT NCMC defeated Fort Scott for the second time this season on Friday and, like the seasonopening match-up, it wasn’t very competitive.

NCMC struggled to put distance between itself and Fort Scott in the first half, leading 35-30 at the break, but the second half was a different scene as North Central outscored Fort Scott 45-11 in the third and fourth quarters combined.

Angel Wiggins had a team high 16 points and four assists to lead North Central. Bables had 12 and Osborn and Kennedie Kieffer each had 10 with Osborn adding four assists and Kieffer finishing with nine rebounds.

Kelsey Maxwell and McKenzie McBee each had nine points off the bench with McBee pulling down eight boards.

With the weekend split, NCMC moved to 5-3 overall on the season.

The North Central women will travel to Creston, IA on Wednesday to take on Southwestern Community College.

Tip off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

SPORTS NASCAR

1. Busch, 2. Truex Jr. 3. Jones, 4. Harvick, 5. Logano

Busch Wins Second TItle HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch casually collected the championship flag from his team and did a slow, subdued celebratory lap. The most polarizing driver in NASCAR had just won his second Cup title and wanted to soak in the moment with his true fans.

He didn’t do his customary bow to the crowd, asked NASCAR for permission to take his 4-year-old son along for the ride to victory lane, and when the duo finally got there it was then that Busch remembered he’d just won both Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and his second NASCAR title. “I do remember taking the white flag and crossing underneath that — I had some tears rolling down my eyes for the last lap and I was just like, 'Come on, man, we've still got to finish this damn thing. Don't be such a siss,’� Busch said. “Emotions were starting to set in. I probably didn't know where the hell my mind was at.

I knew we had won and won big and were being a big more subdued about it."

Busch emerged from the Joe Gibbs Racing juggernaut as NASCAR’s latest champion, winning his second title Sunday after teammates Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. were slowed by pit-road gaffes. He snapped a 21-race losing streak and beat Hamlin, Truex and rival Kevin Harvick for the Cup. Busch joined seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson as the only active drivers with multiple titles. He’s the 16th driver in NASCAR history to win multiple championships, and one of only five to win titles in both the Cup Series and the second-tier Xfinity Series.

The No. 18 crew climbed the pit wall and handed Busch the championship flag for his post-race celebration, and he was met on the frontstretch by son Brexton, who immediately asked: “Dad, are you going to throw me in the air again?� about their celebratory tradition. He also asked to join his father for the final ride into victory lane.

Busch had raced for a second championship in each of the last three seasons and fell short a year ago in part because of his crew’s own pit error.

This time, it was Truex and Hamlin bitten by silly mistakes. Truex dominated early but fell a lap back after his crew put tires on the wrong side of his Toyota.

“You’ve got to be perfect, one mistake probably cost us the championship,� Truex said. “I've never had that happen. I don't even know what to say. It doesn't drive good with the left front on the right front, though, I can tell you that. It's very tight.�

Hamlin fell out of contention when an aggressive aerodynamic gamble backfired because a large piece of tape placed across the front of his car caused his engine to overheat. Hamlin had to make an unscheduled pit stop to remove the tape.

Truex recovered to finish second, but Hamlin didn’t have enough time to overcome the miscue and was a disappointing 10th. “I feel like I did all I could. I don’t feel I could have done a better job. I didn’t leave anything out there,� Hamlin said. “I was thinking we got a chance and it just didn’t work out. We got a little aggressive there and it cost us.�

Harvick, the only Ford driver in the championship field, never had anything on long runs for the Gibbs cars and finished fourth. “On the restarts I could do what I wanted to do and hold them off for 15 or 20 laps,�

Harvick said. “This race has come down to that every year.

You kind of play toward that and they were quite a bit better than us on the long run. We had a really good car for those first 15 to 20 laps on the restarts and had a lot of speed, we just never got to try to race for it there."

The finale pitted a trio of Toyota drivers from Hall of Fame owner Gibbs against Harvick, the hand-picked driver of former Gibbs protege Tony Stewart at Stewart-Haas Racing. The Gibbs group had the edge based on its tremendous season — Busch’s win was the 19th out of 36 races for the organization — and the trio insisted it would continue its note-sharing all weekend.

Las Vegas couldn’t chose a title favorite and the four had essentially even odds at the start of the race, even though Busch was probably the least likely contender of the group.

Although he won the regular season crown, his last Cup win was at Pocono in June, his playoffs leading into Homestead had been mediocre at best and his mood soured with every missed victory lane. “We had a cold spell there.

It's been well documented,� crew chief Adam Stevens said.

“Quite a few questions about it. We're in such a unique situation, as a competitive team that runs up front with the goal of winning the championship every year, everything we do is to make that happen, right? To win the regular season points championship, then try to maintain that and get to Homestead, that's what it's all about.�

Hamlin, Harvick and Truex had all won playoff races, and Hamlin’s win at Phoenix last week gave him all the momentum. But with friend and fan Michael Jordan in attendance, Hamlin failed to win his first championship in his third try.

Hamlin is the only driver in the final four without a Cup title. “Our year was fantastic in every way you can think of, and it just didn't pan out in one race in our favor,� said Hamlin, who won the Daytona 500 and five other races a year removed from a winless season.

Busch, ironically, had one of his worst races in the pits in last year’s finale as his fronttire changer had hiccups on two stops. But he was flawless Sunday night and led a racehigh 120 laps. “Everybody always says you never give up. We're no different. We just do what we can do each and every week,�

Busch said. “Sometimes we may not be the best, sometimes we may not have the right track position. We had a really good car and I could race around and move around.

That's what's so special about Homestead Miami Speedway, is the ability to put on a show. “I felt like we did that there racing those guys. I know it kind of dulled out toward the end. It was exciting enough from my seat. It was a lot of fun to cap off such an amazing year.�

Busch gave Gibbs his fifth Cup title and bookended a season in which the Gibbs cars opened the year 1-2-3 at the Daytona 500. Gibbs this entire year has been mourning the death of his son, JGR co-chairman J.D. Gibbs, and the organization promoted a “Do it for J.D.� theme the entire weekend.

The season ended with a 12-3 finish in the finale as it was Busch, Truex and Erik Jones across the finish line for Gibbs. “I know J.D. was looking down on us all year long,�

Busch said. “I mean, damn, what a season Joe Gibbs Racing put together.�

Busch gave Toyota its third drivers’ championship in five seasons.

Rotary Club Holds Meeting Life Options Green Hills was the topic of a program presented at the Thursday, Nov. 14 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Tom Witten was the program chairman.

Rachel Brothers, executive director of Life Options Green Hills, told about the organization, which is a pregnancy resource center that will provide various services to women and men who find themselves faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Life Options’ purpose is to encourage, support and minister to those in an unplanned pregnancy by providing free pregnancy tests, options counseling, ultrasounds, material resources, community resource referrals, education programs and postabortion counseling. Mrs. Brothers, who resides in Cainsville along with her husband, said her experience with an unplanned pregnancy at age 16 and the support she received led her to working with those who have had similar experiences. Life Options recently held a fundraiser, exceeding its goal, and is now looking for a location that

would provide space for medical care and private counseling. A medical director and other medical personnel are being sought and she said that volunteers are also needed.

During the business meeting, plans were announced for the Dec. 12 Christmas party, which will be held at The Space in downtown Trenton.

Doors will open at 6 p.m., with the meal to be served at 6:30 p.m. The Rissler School Fourth Grade Honor Choir will provide the entertainment.

The meal will be prepared by the Five Points Alive group.

During the board meeting, it was voted that the club would pay $10 of the $20 cost for the member meal and that members would be required to pay the $20 cost for their guest.

The board also made a $180 donation to match funds raised during a recent PolioPlus “bag tournament� and chili supper at Princeton, co-sponsored by the Princeton and Trenton clubs.

Brian Upton will be the program chairman for the Nov. 21 meeting.

Two class D felony counts of forgery led to the arrest of a Sedalia man in Wyandotte County, KS on Nov. 7.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, 32year-old Christopher R. Smither is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center on $5,000 cash-only bond, charged with two counts of class D felony forgery: uttering as genuine. He is accused of using as genuine two payroll checks in the amount of $198.94 on April 6, knowing they were not genuine.

Smither has waived extradition to Missouri and was returned to Grundy County on Nov. 15. Smither is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 26.

Cash bond has been set for a Meadville woman who failed to appear in court.

Kristin K. Hess, 46, failed to appear in court on a charge of possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana. Her bond has been set at $5,000 cash or 10 percent and her probation has been suspended. She is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 12.

Two Injured In Recent Mishap Two persons were transported to Wright Memorial Hospital for injuries they received in a one-vehicle accident investigated Nov. 14 at the intersection of 15th and Mable streets.

According to Sgt. Matt Preston’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a car driven by Camryn Willey of Trenton pulled from the curb after picking up a passenger on Mable Street. She continued driving northbound on Mable Street and then drove off the left side of the roadway approximately 15 feet past the intersection with 15th Street.

Her vehicle struck a metal street drain with the front driver’s side tire, then continued northbound for approximately nine feet and struck a Trenton Municipal Utilities wooden utility pole with the driver’s side of the car. The pole was sheared off and the car continued another 10 feet before coming to rest.

Ms. Willey said she blacked out prior to the accident and did not regain consciousness until after the accident when her passenger, Sabastian Brown of Trenton, was telling her to get out of the vehicle.

Brown said he was looking down at his backpack when the initial collision occurred.

Ms. Willey sustained an injury to her wrist and it appeared that Brown sustained a head injury. Both were treated and released at WMH. Neither one was wearing a seat belt and the airbags on the vehicle deployed during the crash.

Bulldog Bark

by Jackie Price Trenton Middle School Assistant Principal

KINDNESS AT TRENTON MIDDLE SCHOOL +The students and teachers at Trenton Middle School were recently challenged to â&#x20AC;&#x153;catchâ&#x20AC;? each other being kind and demonstrating acts of kindness.

Our Acts of Kindness Challenge began in October with the goal of reaching 100 acts of kindness

by Thanksgiving break. As of this writing we are at 86 acts of kindness with more being reported each day.

When students report an act of kindness. it is written on an official form and displayed on my outer door to the hallway. I am happy to say my door is covered with these official green forms.

Some of the reports include helping each other pick things up, cleaning up a mess that was left, helping others with classwork they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand and - one of my favorites - an encouraging letter from one friend to another who was having a rough time. Our Acts of Kindness Challenge coincided with World Kindness Day, recognized this past week on Nov. 13 and I am so proud of our students and staff for all of the kindness they show to others.

As we work toward becoming a Trauma Informed School, the

importance of teaching our students and staff to be more proactive and less reactive in stressful situations has become a priority. Staff at Trauma Informed Schools are trained to recognize and respond to signs and behaviors of trauma in our students. A recent full day of professional development on Nov. 6 provided staff with training to help identify students who may be contemplating suicide, possible self-harm as well as signs of other potential mental illness.

With students who have suffered all forms of trauma in mind we have added weekly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mindfulnessâ&#x20AC;? lessons on Wednesdays in homeroom. Our Mindful lessons focus on units throughout the school year. These units include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Responses to Stressâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Senses, Attitudeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expressions of Gratitude and Acts of Kindness.: As we become more aware of the effects of trauma on students brains and their abilities to achieve, we hope these lessons can help students to recognize their responses to stressful situations and make good choices throughout their lives.

Still, Schroer said he has faith that Dixon and the Parson administration will be able to persuade GM to keep more than the minimum 2,000 promised so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those people that are disappointed in what GM and UAW came up with, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see a much higher number,â&#x20AC;?

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. Over 30 million persons are afflicted with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Type 1, formerly known as juvenile diabetes, affects some 1.25 million persons, including several students in the Trenton R-9 School District.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition that makes the body unable to produce insulin, which is the hormone that regualtes blood sugar. Without insulin, bodies cannot use the sugar in the bloodstream as energy. This causes those affected to experience diabetic ketoacidosis. At Trenton Middle School and Trenton High School, several youth are Type 1 diabetics including, from left, Rebekah Allen, Chloie Hall, Link Day, Samantha Woodall, Teagan Kelsall and Dakota Polk. Grundy R-5 graduate Elizabeth Eller, at far right, also has Type 1 diabetes.

will be coordinating with the Pleasant View R-6 and Laredo R-7 school districts to find and employ a new instructor.

Following an executive session, the board announced approval of the resignation of paraprofessional Bronwyn Griffin.

The next board meeting was set for 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

Newtown-Harris R-2 The Newtown-Harris Board of Education set filing dates for the April election during a meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

According to information provided by Superintendent Lucas McKinnis, candidates for the April 7, 2020 election can file in the school office from Dec. 17 to Jan. 21 during regular business hours. The office will be closed for Christmas break and inclement

weather. The three-year terms of Jeanie Faulkner, Joni Oaks and Jack Wells will be expiring.

The board voted to discount payment for the preschool program audit, which McKinnis said would have no impact on the program. Discussion was held regarding a survey as to whether or not to go to a fourday class week. Those attending the PTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Carnival on Nov. 16 will be surveyed as well.

McKinnis reported on building improvements, including door equipment replacement and updating entryways. The new elementary boiler system has also been installed. There was discussion regarding mandatory board training.

McKinnis said the band instructor at the Princeton School has agreed to come to Newtown-Harris to work with students in an afternoon music program. He reported attending special education finance, equity lab and insurance train-

ing.

The next regular board meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 9.

Princeton R-5 Concerns with football scheduling and filing dates for the April board election were among items discussed by the Princeton R-5 Board of Education at its meeting on Monday, Nov. 11.

According to information provided by Superintendent Jerry Girdner, the St. Joseph Christian School District is wanting to continue membership in the Grand River Conference as an 11-man football team, a move that was made for the 2019 schedule after St.â&#x20AC;&#x2C6; Joseph Christian had been approved as an eight-man team.

St. Joseph Christian made the change without telling the GRC and was not included in the 2019 11-man schedule. Instead, the school had to put its own schedule together and now wants to be included in the 2020 GRC 11-man schedule (East Division).

It was noted most GRC East teams have already set their 2020 and 2021 schedules, including Princeton, as well as hiring officials for home games. Allowing St. Joseph to join the East Division would mean other East schools would need to change their schedules to include an eighth conference game. The East teams

could then have only one nonconference game. The change for Princeton would involve a two-year agreement with Midway that includes a $500 cancellation fee. If St. Joseph is allowed to move into the East Division for football, Princeton would owe Midway $1,000 for the two games that are currently scheduled to be played in 2020 and 2021. A meeting of administrators from the GRC was held on Tuesday, Nov. 12 and it was decided not to let St. Joseph participate in the 11-man league in 2020.

It was announced the filing dates for the April 2020 board election would be Dec. 17 to Jan. 21. Filing can be done in the superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office during regular business hours. The office will be closed during the Christmas break. The threeyear terms of Karla Meinke, Larry Pollard and Rick Ellsworth will be expiring.

The board heard information regarding the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Performance Report, including changes in the way information is being provided to schools. The Princeton report indicated that the school is meeting or exceeding growth, status and progress expectations in all five categories and has also showed significant gains in the areas of math and English/Language Arts as well as career and college readiness. The district attendance rate remains above the 90 percent mark and graduate remains at 100 percent.

The next meeting of the board is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 9.

The Green Hills Animal Shelter Board of Directors presented a check to Ishmael and Sons Construction during the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual chili cookoff, held Saturday, Nov. 16 at the First Christian Church. The check represents payment in full for work Steve Ishmael, pictured at left, and his company, did to replace the roof at the shelter when its condition deteriorated and heavy rains hit the area. Ishmael did the work at cost and, in some instances, for free, according to board members. The board held a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raise the Roofâ&#x20AC;? Campaign to fund the project. Pictured with Ishmael are Chuck Jones, center, GHAS board vice president, and Terri Webb, right, board president.

Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled of Grundy County traveled to Kansas City for a tour at the Arabia Steamboat Museum on Nov. 9. FFDD participants and volunteers were able to learn about artifacts salvaged from the Arabia, a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River in 1856. After attending the museum, everyone enjoyed lunch at Crown Center and a little time for shopping. This event was sponsored by FFDD as an educational learning experience.

Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra Making Music Together MEMBER SPOTLIGHTS Lisa Reid of Trenton is a case analyst for the Grundy County Office of Family Support Division. She is also the worship/choir leader at First Baptist Church in Trenton. She and her husband, Steven, are the parents of four children and also have seven grandchildren.

She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, gardening and painting houses. A music lover, she played in the junior high band, and took piano lessons until the age of 16, playing piano for the church. She continues her love of music through participation in the church choir. Lisa joined the GRVCO after hearing about the group at one of her church choir practices. She said she thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about directing a choir and began coming to practice to observe and learn from the director at the time, George Brundage. ********** Anita Ewing of Trenton works at the Trenton Republican-Times and Trenton Main Stop. She enjoys reading, crafts, spending time with family and hanging out with her dog, Ollie. She began singing in the choir at Hale High School. While in college in Kirksville, she was part of the chancel choir at First Baptist Church and a college choir that traveled during spring break. She has been a part of the choir at every church she has attended. She currently attends 10th Street Baptist Church, where she is part of a rotating worship team.

She has led music for revivals in area churches and sang specials in several area churches. Because of her work schedule, Anita was unable to take part when the GRVCO first began. However, with a job change in the spring of 2015, she was able to join and has been involved in every concert since that time. She says that singing is her passion and that she loves being a part of GRVCO. ********** Carol Wilford of Laredo began her music journey at the age of nine, when she began taking piano lessons while living in Grandview. As a teenager, she was asked to join the adult choir at church, which she said gave her the confidence and paved the way for her to earn a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in vocal music at Central Missouri State College in Warrensburg. She married Dan Wilford in 1970, instantly becoming a pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, church pianist, organist, choir director serving whenever needed. The couple served in small churches in Missouri and in Illinois, finally moving to Laredo in 1984. That same year she became a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide at Laredo R-7 School, giving her the opportunity to teach the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children. She became half-time music teacher at the school in 1999 while continuing as an aide. She also began taking instrumental classes at Missouri Western State College to earn enough hours to teach band and, in 2001, added Newtown-Harris R-3 to her music teaching schedule. While retiring from both schools in 2016, she spent two more years as a part-time music teacher at Chula before finally retiring in 2019. She currently serves as the music director at the First Baptist Church of Milan. She joined the GRVCO in 2012 and is a first alto in the choir.

In her spare time, she enjoys growing flowers, being around children, reading Christian-based historical fiction and living on the family farm.

Dear Annie: I'm in my last year of a pre-university study program and need to choose a university program in a couple of months. The problem is that I haven't the slightest idea of what I want to do. This decision is going to affect the rest of my life, and I feel incredibly unprepared. Of course, there are the programs my parents want me to go into such as accounting or economics, which would guarantee a high salary. I don't think I would enjoy those high-paying jobs, though.

I really like social sciences, but I know I'll never get money from studying one of those majors. I don't even know what jobs are in those fields. I want to have enough money to travel and go to concerts. But if I don't like my job, is it worth it? I also don't know if I'd enjoy my life if I couldn't do things because I don't have the money.

My sister just got out of university and is having a very hard time finding a job, which makes me nervous. What if I put in all this work at the university and don't get a job at the end? -- Stressed-Out Student Dear Stressed-Out Student:

How do you know you will never get any money by studying social sciences, or that you will make so much money in doing something that you might not enjoy?

As Mark Twain said: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

You are at a great time in your life to do just that. You can explore many options while in college. At most universities, you can take some courses in accounting or those majors that result in higher-paying "safe" jobs, and you can also take some courses in social sciences.

Visit the career counseling office at your college to discuss this with someone who helps students with these questions.

As an adult, money and freedom will come to you with ease if you are living a fulfilled life, not if you are living for other people -- including your parents.

Dear Annie: My husband

had a great job, a great marriage, four terrific children, a beautiful home and even a sporty convertible to drive to the golf course. We decided, together, that it was more than enough. We retired early.

Now, 15 years later, we are heavily involved in volunteer work, have the prettiest flowers in the neighborhood, can be there for our kids at a moment's notice and still take nice vacations and golf. Though we decided to get rid of the sports car to make more room in the garage.

Others can see a therapist if they want, but I recommend a hobby, charity work and a church for people who are looking for more meaning in their lives. We don't feel like we have given up anything. These truly are the "Golden Years." -Blessed Beyond Things Dear Blessed Beyond Things: Thank you for your beautiful letter. Serving others is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself. At the end of the day, it's not about how much money you have made, the status you have achieved or things you bought; it is about how many people you have loved, lives you changed for the better and hearts you touched. It sounds to me like you already know that. You really are "blessed beyond things."

CEO turnover Chief executive officers are leaving their posts in record numbers this year, according to a report.

Some 1,332 chief executive officers left their posts between January and October, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a business and executive coaching firm. That’s up 13% from the 1,176 who left during the same period last year, and the highest number since tracking began in 2002. The secondhighest number came in 2008, during the Great Recession, when 1,257 CEOs departed.

Professional misconduct played a role in some departures. But most were normal succession plans or companies “adapting to changing technologies or

finding new leadership based on current economic conditions,” said Andrew Challenger, the firm’s vice president.

Gap, McDonald’s, Under Armour and Nike were the latest high-profile companies to replace their CEOs. The reasons varied, from strategy shifts to a relationship between McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook and an employee that violated company policy.

Nike CEO Mark Parker said his successor John Donahoe was “ideally suited to accelerate our digital transformation,” saying it had nothing to do with a recent doping scandal that brought down Nike track coach Alberto Salazar.
