TRENTON R-9 BOARD OF EDUCATION

BOE MEETINGS Tri-County, R-6

District Monitoring Pandemic Effects

‘In-Person’ Class Efforts Continue Members of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education, along with Superintendent Mike Stegman, have emphasized the district will do “everything it can” to continue holding in-person classes while keeping the safety of students and staff in mind. During a meeting of the board on Tuesday night, Stegman updated members on how the district has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which thus far has resulted in both students and staff being quarantined since the start of school. This includes three classrooms at the elementary school. Stegman said most of the individuals in quarantine are those who have been deemed “close contacts” to someone who has tested positive for the virus but who may not have shown any symptoms. He added there have been some positive cases within the district. As of Tuesday, there were 117 students out of school due to COVID-related incidents. The number of other staff members was not mentioned, although Stegman did say the district was having to fill many positions with substitutes. Stegman said the state does not designate teachers as “essential” personnel and, as a result, those teachers who are deemed to be a close contact but who show no symptoms are unable to come

to work until after their quarantine time is up. Stegman, who stated he has always considered teachers “essential” said he has talked with two attorneys, including one from the MSBA, and has been told the district would be going against policy by allowing teachers to return without the designation. Any changes to the policy at this time, he said, could also result in issues involving the Missouri Ethics Commission, although Stegman did not elaborate. Should the district get to the point where not enough substitutes are available, Stegman said the district could visit with the health department to try and come up with an agreement that would allow quarantined personnel with no symptoms to be brought back. However, he said the health department would have to look at the situation in regard to whether or not it would be a public health risk. Stegman went on to say the district’s response to the COVID situation has met with mixed reactions, noting that for every call received supporting action taken, another call in opposition is received. He recognized both staff and students for making the best of a less than ideal situation, adding that mask wearing issues have basically been non-existent. He also credited the R-9 school nurses and health department for

working together in addressing the situation. Stegman said the district is prepared for virtual instruction should the decision be made to halt in-person classes. The district has purchased 60 wi-fi “hot spots” for students who have little to no access, of which 23 are currently being used by students under quarantine. He said more would be purchased if needed and the district would also provide iPads to those students who do not have access to a computer. In other business, the board: • approved distribution of $75.06 to the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library, which represents funds from the Jewett Norris Library account for which the school district is custodian. • approved six students for early graduation following the first semester - Quincy Griffin, Isaiah Lovell, Brice Gibler, Kayden Spencer, Mackenzie Talley and Lanie Johnson. They will be allowed to participate in prom and graduation activities in the spring. • approved the 2020-21 bus routes, which include six rural routes, four town routes, one preschool route, one special education route and one vo-tech route. • approved a “full maintenance” service agreement with the Missouri School Boards Association for $3,749.

• was told the summer “seamless lunch program” is being continued during the first semester, providing lunch at no cost to all students. The USDA is providing the funding through Dec. 31 or when there are no additional funds available. • reviewed several policy update recommendations, which will be acted on at the October meeting. Among policy topics discussed were tuition, employees working from home, conflict of interest and Title IX. • heard a report regarding professional development activities participated in by staff prior to the start of school, including formative testing, online learning, the iReady Reading learning platform and the Positive Behavior model that is currently used at the elementary school. • was told the district had received a grant through the Missouri Department of Conservation for nearly $18,000. The grant will be used to purchase tables and benches to be placed in the new high school courtyard area, which is part of the new addition construction at the high school/middle school. • was told the district has purchased over $47,000 in items with CARES Act funding received through the county.

Grimes Parking Lot Getting Makeover

POW/MIA Recognitiion Day

Changes are coming to the parking lot on the south side of Burleigh Grimes Field following action taken at a Wednesday meeting of the Trenton Park Board. Board members voted to remove the parking lot on the south side of the field, which has seven parking spots and two driveway entrances. Instead, the area will become a part of the walking trail, with green space around it. The west driveway will be narrowed but will still allow for vehicles to access the concession stand/press box and dugout areas. The cost for the project (materials only) is estimated at $4,410 for 63 tons of asphalt and $2,117.86 for tubes and bands for the area. The vote was 6-1 with Gary Schuett, John Hamilton, Derek Miller, Lynda Lynch, Marvin Humphreys and Andy Cox voting in favor and Curtis Crawford voting no. Board President Duane Helmandollar doesn’t vote unless needed to break a tie and Beth Mack was absent. Crawford seemed to have favored another option that would have left the west driveway its current width. That option would have re-

quired 77 tons of asphalt at a cost of $5,390. A third option, which had been the original plan when the board first discussed the project, would have involved replacing the parking lot and putting it back as it currently is. That option would have required 290 tons of asphalt with a price tag of $20,300. Park Superintendent David Shockley and Schuett discussed a problem with a large number of birds in the area of the Sesquicentennial Park near Five Points in the downtown area. The bird droppings have been a problem all summer and they will be experimenting with ways to alleviate the problem while not causing harm to the birds. Shockley said the inside of the press box at Burleigh Grimes Field has been painted and noted Trenton R-9 and North Central Missouri College softball and baseball teams have begun games. He said he has been helping set up for live-streaming of ballgames and said MidStates Services has installed wifi at both Grimes

CD Bid, Salary Hikes Get OK Salaries and reports topped agendas for meetings this week of the Tri-County R-7 and Pleasant View R-6 boards of education. Tri-County R-7 During Wednesday night’s meeting, the Tri-County R-7 board approved a bid from Home Exchange Bank for a certificate of deposit investment of $500,000. Superintendent David Probasco said the bid for a 12-month investment was .75 percent. The board discussed and reviewed its plans and procedures regarding its COVID-19 response as well as approved an intergovernmental agreement with Daviess County. There was discussion regarding maintenance equipment, fundraising requests and the budget with no action taken. There was also no action taken following the second reading of MSBA policy updates. An executive session was held for personnel with no announcement made. The next meeting of the board is scheduled at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7 in the old gym at the school in Jamesport. Pleasant View R-6 The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education approved pay raises for substitutes and heard reports during a meeting on Tuesday night. According to information provided by Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the board voted to increase the pay for substitute teachers by $15 to $90 per day. An update was given on the new addition, which houses classrooms for students in grades six through eight, and a second reading of MSBA policy updates was held. Mrs. Steinhoff reported that there are 114 students enrolled in grades kindergarten through eight, which is up seven from a year ago. There are 20 in preschool (no increase) and 35 in the KEYS preschool, which is an increase of three students. She reported that approximately $14,000 in CARES Act funding received from the county is being used for the addition of two days for nursing staff and nursing supplies as well as other needs related to COVID-19. Guidelines were discussed for the seventh and eighth grade basketball season. It was proposed each family be allowed to bring six guests with seating to be set up in pods of six for social distancing.

RETURN TO THE NORM

Trenton Finally Facing Familiar Foe In Princeton As GRC Play Opens The first two weeks of the 2020 season looked much different for the Trenton Bulldogs than in years past. Brookfield and East Buchanan replaced traditional schedule staples Lathrop and Lexington. After two-straight shutout losses, Trenton is ready for a return to something more familiar. The Bulldogs will get just that in week 3 as Grand River Conference play opens with a road trip to Princeton. Trenton and Princeton have locked up in each of the previous six seasons, meeting before they even shared a conference in 2014 and 2015. Trenton took the first three of those last six meetings, winning by an average of just over 33 points in those contests. But in the last three years, Princeton has flipped the script, taking the last three games by 20, seven and 14 points respectively. “I think it will help our confidence level a little bit,” Trenton coach Kevin Hixson said. “We are a little more familiar with these (GRC) teams. We saw (Brookfield and East Buchanan) on film a little bit, but our kids hadn’t seen them at game speed. With these conference schools, most of these kids we wrestle, some of these kids play summer baseball with these guys and they are in FFA projects with them, so they are a little more familiar with kids in the conference. So, it might help us a little bit with some confidence.” Princeton was able to get its offense going in week 2 on the legs of running backs Eli Henke and Ben Berwanger. The top returning rushers for the Tigers will be the two players Trenton must key on in the week 3 showdown.

WEEK 3

Trenton Bulldogs @ Princeton Tigers

EDDIE ALLEN FIELD PRINCETON, MO

Friday, 7:00 p.m. Live Stream: facebook.com/PrincetonRV “Both of those kids run hard,” Hixson said. “I don’t think they are very big, but they run hard and they run downhill. I told our kids, they will come right at you. They don’t stop and look for a crease, they create one. They are a good combination, you know. Our defensive ends have got to be ready.” Trenton’s defense will be hampered with the absence of Royce Jackson, a senior defensive end who suffered a knee bruise last week at Gower. Jackson is listed as doubtful for Friday night’s game. In his place, Trenton will be starting Kaden Owen. Owen and Caleb Johnson will be responsible for setting the edge against Princeton and keeping Berwanger from reaching the outside. At quarterback, Princeton has used a mix of junior Logan Smith and a ‘Wildcat’ set after their starter Zeb Schwartzkopf

was injured in a week 1 loss to MidBuchanan. Smith is the younger brother of Andrew Smith, who Trenton fans may remember scoring seven touchdowns on the Bulldogs in 2017 - a season in which the older Smith shattered Princeton passing records. Berwanger and Henke each threw a pass out of the ‘Wildcat’ formation last week, but Hixson feels the Tigers are more dangerous with Smith under center. “(Smith) is pretty good, he has got an arm,” Hixson said. “I think they are more dangerous with Jet, Zone Read and then a pass option than they are out of the Wildcat.” On the other side of the ball, Trenton will be trying to figure out offensive woes that have plagued the Bulldogs for two weeks now. Trenton has yet to score a point in 2020 and struggled to move the ball against East Buchanan last week until very late in the game. “It’s just a combination of things,” Hixson said. “We’ve had turnovers at inopportune times. Our backs, being former wide receivers, haven’t really been bringing the mail home every day. They have got to get some experience and run harder. We have shifted some bodies around in there, trying to find the right combination. And then up front, we start two juniors, who are really sophomores because they didn’t play last year.” Trenton will try to turn the corner at Princeton with a bit of a different lineup than what the Bulldogs have featured in weeks 1 and 2. How it plays out will be seen on the gridiron at Eddie Allen Field tonight (Friday). Kickoff for the GRC match-up is set for 7 o’clock.

On Friday, Sept. 4, the Princeton Tigers drew first blood on the road against Midway. Then the Tigers watched as Midway answered with a score, then another, then another. Midway found the end zone three times in the opening frame following a 4-yard touchdown pass from running back Ben Berwanger to Owen Schreffler, but it was all Princeton from that point on. The Tigers scored five more touchdowns, turning a modest start into a handy 38-19 victory - the first of the season for Princeton. Berwanger and Eli Henke each scored in the second quarter and both made return visits to the end zone in the third quarter to fuel the Princeton offense. The two finished the game with nearly identical stat lines. Berwanger ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries and Henke added 72 yards and two touchdowns, also carrying the ball 14 times in the win. “We had a good night running the ball and it was definitely by committee,” Princeton’s second-year head coach Nathan Powell said. “We don't have big, bruising running backs, but they are all tough kids who run really hard for us. To have two guys like Ben and Eli to be able to lean on is a huge benefit for us. Both of them are good at dif-

Trenton Golfers Battle Elements At Lawson Tourney Chumbley Ties For 16th, Atup Ties For 29th On a cold, rainy day on Tuesday, the Trenton High School golf team traveled to Lawson for tournament play. Both players, Josie Chumbley and Mari Atup, made it

through the 18-hole event playing in the less-than-ideal conditions. Chumbley ended up with a score of 106, placing her in a tie for 16th in the 46-golfer field. Her mark was just nine strokes away from the final medalist position - 10th place. Chumbley was consistent despite the weather, shooting a 53 on both the front and back nines. She tallied one par on the day. Atup, meanwhile, finished

with a score of 118, placing her in a tie for 29th individually. Atup reached her total with a 60 on the front nine and a 58 on the back. Like Chumbley, she carded one par on the day. With just two golfers, Trenton wasn’t able to post a team score. Cameron took the team title with a mark of 364, besting Smithville’s total of 385. Pleasant Hill rounded out the top three with a score of 411. Ellie Smith of Lawson won the individual title with a score of 84. Cameron golfers Lexi Hutton and Abby Linhart shared second place, each carding a score of 87. Trenton’s golfers were scheduled to be at the Gallatin Quad on Thursday. The Bulldogs will be at the same course on Tuesday as they compete in the Gallatin Tournament. Tee time for that event is set for 9 a.m.

ferent aspects of what we do Ben is great in space and out on the perimeter and Eli is our guy between the tackles. When we spread things out on Friday Ben had some good runs outside and that opened the whole middle up for Eli. When we can get both of those guys going it should be a good night for us.” Luca Nichols capped the scoring for Princeton, scooping up a fumble and returning it for a touchdown. It was an exclamation point on the win and a highlight for a defense that forced five turnovers in the win. If there was any downside to the victory at all, it was Princeton’s own turnovers. The Tigers lost the ball three times, throwing a pair of interceptions and fumbling once on a punt return. But, the win trumped any dismay the Tigers may have felt and gave them some momentum heading into Grand River Conference play in week 3 against Trenton. “After two weeks we’re sitting with the same record as a year ago and coming off a good team win,” Powell said. “All wins are good wins but, especially with the way the season could turn on a dime, it’s important that we take advantage of any momentum we can build. “Trenton is a hungry team looking to pick up that first win and we need to keep the things we did well last Friday rolling. The GRC is a dangerous, physical league and for us to get where we want to be, we have to take care of business (tonight).” Princeton (1-1) and Trenton (0-2) kick off GRC play at Eddie Allen Field tonight (Friday) at 7 o’clock.

Corn Residue Cheap Grazing For Cattle by Linda Geist University Extension Writer Grazing drought-dried corn and cornstalks offers cattle inexpensive, nutritious forage, say two University of Missouri Extension specialists. Many corn and livestock growers turned to longtime MU Extension livestock specialist Eldon Cole to ask about grazing dried-up corn after persistent drought in southwestern Missouri this season. SW Missouri Cows Thrive in Drought-Stricken Corn Cole says damaged corn makes suitable grazing for cattle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with some restrictions and a commitment to timely moves to new pastures. In late July, Cole visited Merle Schnelle, a row-crop farmer near Meinert in Dade County. Schnelle planned to let cattle graze one acre per day. Eighty of the 100 cows he planned to graze on corn had spring calves on them. The other 20 would calve in the fall. Schnelle provided Cole with details about his cornfield. Plant population was 25,000 per acre. The insurance adjuster estimated that grain yield would be only 4.5 bushels per acre. Schnelle set 36-inch-high single-wire fence run by a solar charger. Before placing the wire, he mowed an open lane for the hot wire by running a 25-horsepower tractor with a 6-foot belly mower across the 40-acre field. Cows adjusted quickly to moving daily to fresh green corn. Cole says the herd seemed to thrive on the corn and left little waste. One concern in grazing corn is the chance of increased nitrate poisoning during drought. Cole says it is wise to test for nitrates before grazing. For details, see the MU Integrated Pest & Crop Management article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stalk Nitrate-N Test: A tool for evaluating nitrogen management practices in cornâ&#x20AC;? at ipm.missouri.edu/ipcm/2013/9/Stalk-NitrateN-Test-A-tool-for-evaluating-nitrogen-management-practices-in-corn(opens in new window). Grazing Cornstalks is Good Way to Fill Forage Gaps MU Extension beef nutritionist Eric Bailey says grazing cornstalks is a good, inexpensive grazing option to extend the grazing season and fill forage gaps. Cows are selective grazers, choosing the highest protein and most digestible parts first, says Bailey. First, they will eat corn grain, leaves, husks and finally stalks. By eating the higher-protein parts of the corn first, cows may need little additional supple-

ments. Energy is not limiting during the first 30 days of grazing. Protein will be limiting after 30 days on the same field at 0.5 pound of crude protein per cow per day. Consider herd needs as the needs of lactating and fall-calving cows or stocker calves may be greater, says Bailey. Bailey uses a simple rule of thumb for quick estimates: Bushels per acre divided by 3.5 equals grazing days per acre for a 1,200-pound cow. For example, if the field produced 150 bushels per acre, then it would provide enough residue for 42 grazing days (150 divided by 3.5). The more accurate estimate is to factor in residue produced per bushel of grain. There will be 16 pounds of leaf and husk residue per bushel of grain. In a 150-bushel-per-acre crop, there will be 2,400 pounds of dry feed per acre. Assume one acre per cow per month and try to leave cows on the field less than two months, Bailey says. This estimate is more conservative than the previous one but will keep cows from consuming the lowest-quality plant parts (stalks and cobs). Some dry matter is lost to trampling or weathering, so assume 50 percent harvest efficiency, Bailey says. Convenient portable fencing systems make strip grazing easier now than in years past. By moving cows to the feed instead of taking feed to the cows, producers can save time and money. A side benefit is that cows will return nutrients to the land in the form of manure. Another advantage is that cows will eat corn grain fallen on the ground, and this may reduce the amount of volunteer corn in a field the following year. Bailey says grazing can also save producers money by avoiding shredding and baling costs. Sample and test bales for nutritional value. Test for protein and energy, and supplement as needed. Studies from University of Nebraska show that there is no negative effect of grazing on subsequent grain yield over a five-year period. Bailey recommends the following resources from University of Nebraska-Lincoln: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grazing Crop Residues With Beef Cattleâ&#x20AC;?

HOW MILK GETS TO THE STORE For 58 percent of Americans, milk is a normal part of the day. However, not very many know how we get milk from the cow, to the store for the consumer to buy. The process is a very delicate, long process that requires great care to execute. The process first begins with the cows. When you see dairy cattle, they are typically Holsteins, but crossbreeds and Jerseys are also used. There are approximately 9 million dairy cows in the United States and there are two ways in which these cows are raised. Some cows are free to wander pastures and eat fresh

grass, otherwise known as grazing. Regardless of how they are raised, cows eventually have to be milked. The cows are milked using vacuum cups then the milk is sent through stainless steel pipes into milk vats for storage. Within 48 hours, the milk is then transported in tanker trucks to a milk factory where it is homogenized and pasteurized. Pasteurization is the process that destroys harmful bacteria and microorganisms. They typically heat the milk at 72 degrees centigrade for about 15 seconds. Homogenization is when factories put the milk under pres-

sure through fine nozzles. This evenly distributes the fat throughout the milk. This process keeps milk from rising to the top and separating. Homogenized milk creates a more consistent texture and taste. After further processing, the milk is then packaged in cartons or jugs in a machine that automatically packages, and labels the milk with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;best if used byâ&#x20AC;? date. After this, the milk is then sent to the store for selling. In conclusion, the production of milk is a long process, but every step is necessary for it to be safe for the consumer to eat or drink. Without our dairy farmers, we would not be able to safely consume a product that is essential for our well-being.

OP/ED

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

The Library - What A Great Place... One of my all-time favorite comic strips is “Peanuts” and one of my favorite panels features Linus showing off his new library card and announcing to Charlie Brown and Lucy that “I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge.” As an avid reader in my early years and who recently has again begun spending time with a book in my hand, I can certainly understand the excitement Linus is feeling as he realizes the adventure lies ahead. My parents were readers and they instilled that passion in both my sister and me. We would go to the Diane Lowrey local library every Saturday morning to pick out the book or books we would read the next week. The topics we chose were varied - my favorites being “The Black Stallion” series and presidential biographies while my sister leaned more toward the Nancy Drew mysteries and anything that had to do with science/biology. Reading offered us a chance to learn about the world outside of our hometown and I’ve always thought was partially responsible for me choosing the profession I did. When I moved to Trenton in 1978, one of the first places I visited was the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library so that I could get a library card. I remember going there the first time and thinking to myself what a wonderful building it was with its ornate staircase greeting you in the front foyer. Just a few weeks later I found myself back there to do a story for the newspaper and it was then I learned just how special that building, and what’s inside really is.

Built in 1891, the library is a unique structure that was constructed specifically for use as a library. It was placed on the National Historic Register on Sept. 7, 1984, thanks to the efforts of the late Carolyn Lenhart, who also worked on getting the same designation for the Rock Barn and the St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. In 1992, the library under went an extensive renovation with the help of community contributions, grants and existing library funds that resulted in the addition of an elevator and a 136-seat theater on the third floor. The Hoover Community Theater is named after the late Rose Hoover, who made the initial contribution of $25,000 and challenged the community with a match of up to $75,000 that spurred the successful fundraising campaign. A separate children’s library was also established, which has proved popular with the youth in the community, and a tax levy increase approved by voters allowed to the library to update its collection as well as computerize the catalog system. The computerization of the catalog system has been very helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing readers to still “check out” books and other items via the library’s website, picking them up at the doorway so as not to spread germs inside of the building (the library has since been reopened to the public with specific guidelines). A more recent project has resulted in copies of all Grundy County newspapers being digitized and being made available to the public on the library website. With the newspaper website only having articles archived back to 1999, this tool has been invaluable to our staff in looking up information from years ago to include in stories or verify questions and comments we receive from our readers and the public. If you have never been to the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library or have been away for a while, I would encourage you to stop by and see what the library has to offer. Most are available to the public at no cost, including your library card which, as Linus points out, gives us all “citizenship in the land of knowledge.” And what a nice thing to have.

What Others Are Saying... Getting Youth To The Polls

In Cole County’s primary election, the youngest group of eligible voters shunned the polls like no other. Just 2.7 percent of 18- to 21-year-olds voted. Even the 85 and older group topped that. So why aren’t youths voting, and what can we do about it?

Guest Editorials A new Gallup poll shows one-third of youth are unsure whether their state has online voter registration. Yet that same poll shows 79 percent of young people said the coronavirus pandemic has helped them realize how much political leaders’ decisions impact their lives. As we recently reported, Cole County Clerk Steve Korsmeyer expects more young voters to turn out for the Nov. 3 general election, when the president and governor’s races will be decided; he expects an overall turnout of 70 percent or more this November. In the 2016 presidential election, Cole County had a voter turnout of 71 percent, with 37,981 ballots cast. “Are we as older adults not conveying to the younger generation the importance of voting?” asked Penny Quigg, Cole County Republican Central Committee chair. The duties of citizenship shouldn’t just be relegated to schools, she said. Parents need to step up and teach their children themselves, she said. Josh Dunne, Cole County Democratic Central Committee chair, said his committee has to work hard to impress on younger voters that it’s up to them to show politicians they need to pay attention to issues that are important to the younger generation. They often believe they aren’t being heard and that their vote doesn’t matter. Here at the News Tribune, we’ve worked hard to try to not only dispute that notion but to arm readers young and old with the information they need to make their own voting decisions. We’ll continue to do that, and we urge parents to regularly talk with their children about politics and government and the civic responsibility of voting. A representative Democracy can only work if it has representation from its citizenship. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Variance Gets Board Approval

The Board of Adjustments of the Trenton City Council approved a variance request during a hearing on Tuesday night at city hall. City Clerk Cindy Simpson said the board gave unanimous approval to the request from Jeff Page, granting him variances of the maximum area and maximum height requirements to allow him to construct a 40-foot by 54-foot building at 812 W. Crowder Road. A neighbor appeared at he hearing to express his support for the project. The request is not required o go before the city council for final approval.

WILSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Heating & Cooling WE SERVICE ALL MAKES & MODELS

The Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission has approved a project agreement between the Missouri Department of Transportation and Sullivan County to provide up to $9.2 million in local match for the $13.4 Million BUILD Grant for road and bridge infrastructure around the East Locust Creek Reservoir. While work remains to secure a grant agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, MHTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval represents a giant step forward. According to project officials, the agreement was necessary to advance the grant project. Sullivan County was notified of the award of the BUILD Grant in November 2019. Since that time, local, state and federal agencies have been working on the complexities of overlaying a $22.6 million road and bridge project on a $150 million lake project. The BUILD Grant will provide funding for roads, bridges and pedestrian walkways in the lake area. Some eight miles of paved roads will be created or improved and some 17 miles of gravel roads will be improved as a result of the grant, providing improved accessibility into and around the lake. According to project officials, these improvements were critical to accessibility to public areas, but also for safety and first responder response times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to start work on construction access, utility relocation and clearing as early as this fall, pending federal approvals,â&#x20AC;? Brad Scott, general manager of the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you combine construction of the lake with construction of the roads and bridges, Sullivan County and the region are about to experience unparalleled construction activities for several years. Once we are allowed to start the work wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop until completion.â&#x20AC;?

Palantir’s holier-than-thou IPO approach The biggest tech stock public offering since Slack and Uber last year comes from a company that has generally eschewed publicity, possibly because the media glare hasn’t been a great look. Palantir, which could go public this month, has taken heat for helping build data-management tools used in the Trump administration’s deportation crackdown. It says in a regulatory filing that lifts the veil some on its secretive government work that it may sometimes decline to respond to negative press due to confidentiality agreements. The company co-founded in 2003 by Facebook board member Peter Thiel also has yet to earn a penny, amassing

losses of $3.8 billion. Most surprising in Palantir’s pre-IPO filing is what Pitchbook analyst Alexander Davis called “a chest-beating" declaration like no other in tech. A holier-than-thou letter from CEO Alex Karp decried Big Tech’s privacy-invasion-as-business-model and said Palantir rejects that. Instead, the purveyor of data-mining and management tools popular with U.S. spies and military members said it aspires to a higher goal: helping defense and intelligence agencies “keep us safe.” Palantir has also snubbed Silicon Valley with its feet. It moved its headquarters to Denver over the summer.

DOWN 1 Failure

I have a feeling that you may want to take a leaf from her book once you see the effects of a whole-food, plant-based diet. It's one of the healthiest ways to eat and has been shown to be effective against many common chronic diseases, including heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. (Check out "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D., and "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., for more information.) So, keep an open mind. Dear Annie: I am going through a really hard time right now. My husband is dying with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the pancreas. His doctor told me that it's getting to be time to call in our family. I'm with him 24/7. We have been married for 23 years and have three wonderful children together ages 17 through 21. My husband asked me to tell the hospital that he doesn't want anyone in the room with him except for me, our kids and three other family members. This doesn't include any immediate members of his family of origin, and they are blaming me for this. I am doing what my husband asks. His family has not

Dear Annie: My wife and I have just celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. Two years ago, she decided to become a vegan for moral and dietary reasons. I respect her greatly for that, though I didn't love constantly hearing about it. I have also adopted many of the same eating habits, but I do still eat meat. We have both learned to prepare very nice vegan dishes that the other enjoys. Lately, however, she has decided to adopt a whole-food, plant-based diet, she also has decided to use a lot of spices in her foods that I cannot eat. For the past two years, I have not cooked meat in our house nor have I fired up my barbecue out of respect for her. Now, I find myself wanting to again cook dishes for myself that I feel are healthy but that include lean meats: chicken fajitas, turkey chili, etc... Do I have the right to cook in my house and if so, how do I approach the subject with her in a way that she doesn't "flip out"? -- Omnivore Husband in Oregon Dear Omnivore: Your wife wouldn't appreciate it if you told her how to eat. She should respect your right to decide what you'd like to eat, too. However,

been around us at all this whole time that he has been sick, and now they are wanting to act like they really care. Don't get me wrong; I really do love my inlaws, but how do I honor my husband's wishes while not hurting his family? I'm the one with him day and night, never even once leaving the room from him. I don't want to hurt anyone! -- Wife in the Middle Dear Wife in the Middle: I am so sorry that your husband is dying. There are no good options here, but the best option available is to honor his wishes, just as you've been doing. These are his final days, and he deserves agency over how he spends them. If he can comfortably speak, you might try gently encouraging him one last time to consider seeing his family members, if for no other reason than to say his piece to them. But if he reaffirms his stance (or is incapable of doing so), let these relatives know it's out of your hands. Then set aside their anger, and focus on your husband, you and what you need during this excruciatingly painful time.

Upon their retirement in 2009, they enjoyed traveling, spending time with family and friends and working in Yellowstone National Park for three summers. She was a wonderful Grandma, spending precious time with her grandkids, who adored her. Twyla often spoke of how fortunate she was to have been raised in a Christian home where it was easy to accept Jesus as her savior at an early age. She continued to live her Christian faith throughout her life. She served churches in many ways, including teaching, volunteering her time on many committees (she especially enjoyed serving on a pastor search committee and on the building committee that functioned when the new First Baptist Church was built), singing in the choir and working with the youth.

She really enjoyed photography and using her photos to make cards which she sent to many people. She also enjoyed sewing projects. One of her favorite projects was doing a detailed and beautiful scrapbook for each grandchild. She was a wonderful cook, known by many for her delicious meals, and passed on her culinary knowledge to her kids and grandchildren. She had served as past president of PTO, Antique Study Club and PEO. Since Twyla was an only child, she really enjoyed having so many PEO sisters, whom she considered her sisters. She was on the Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation Board and served the hospital as a weekly volunteer. Twyla and R.W. were married for 53 years, a wonderful example of a loving Christian couple. She was so proud of her two sons and grandkids. David is a family physician in Marshall and Matt is a paramedic and administrator of the Sullivan County Ambulance District.
