Ashely Sterkis, from Al bany, MO, graduated high school in December 2021 and started at NCMC in January 2022. “Throughout high school, I always felt like a buzzard among the eagles. I never felt that my voice was being heard or

that I was able to authenti cally be myself in fear of judgment. I was sur rounded by staff that didn’t always see me. So, when the opportunity to graduate early was presented to me, I grabbed it with no hesita tion,” shared Ashley.

“Going to college has al lowed me to become an eagle and soar. I have found my voice and reason.

I want to thank all the staff members that have taken the time to go above and beyond to make us students feel welcome. I also want to thank the donors who have invested in our fu ture.” Ashley has been ac cepted into the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) pro gram and, after completion, plans to earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (AAS).

Abner is a recipient of the Betty Frances & Nadine Hall Scholarship. “One of the most unique things about my experience here, as op posed to the other institu tions I have attended, is the profound sense of com munity that I enjoy at NCMC.

BNB Declares New Nuisances

The Building and Nui sance Board met at City Hall on Monday, October 24. Those in attendance were Code Enforcement Officer Wes Barone, Mayor Linda Crooks, Po lice Chief Rex Ross, City Clerk Cindy Simpson, Chairman of the Board David Mlika and board members Mary Axtell, Gaylon McCorkle, Lindsay Stevens and Vickie Me servey. The meeting was called to order and minutes were approved.

In Declaration of a Nui sance, property at 506 Jackson Street owned by Barbara Morgans was moved to public hearing as no contact had been made and no repairs done. A house at 1422 Tindall Ave nue owned by Steve and Rebecca Oakleaf was moved to public hearing. A letter had been sent, a little cleaning had been done but no contact had been re ceived from the owners re garding their plans for the structure.

A house at 1703 E Sec ond Street owned by Janice Garrison has been moved to public hearing to con tinue the process for demo tear down. Mr. Barone had spoken to Janice and she signed a letter of intent to tear down the home with

the city demolition process next year. She is keeping the property mowed.

In Public Hearing, prop erty at 1701 Tindall Ave nue, owned by Denise A. Wilson was taken off the list as repairs requested have been made.

There were four proper ties that Mr. Barone had been asked to check on, with three of those proper ties having a declaration of a nuisance issued. Those properties are 403 E 9th Street and 1432 Main Street, both owned by Bar bara Morgans and 405 E 22nd Street owned by Chris Stanturf.

A structure at 413 E 9th Street, owned by Barbara Morgans was also looked at and determined that it does need to have the grass mowed and weeds re moved but the house is okay at this time.

During the past month there have been 37 inspec tions, 180 business licenses and nine permits issued.

one to contact the fire de partment.

An ordinance approving an agreement with MoDot to continue to provide fi nancial assistance under the state block grant pro gram. This program is used to perform a drainage study for runway rehabilitation work at the airport. The grant is a 90/10 grant meaning that the city only pays 10 percent and this grant funds the other 90 percent. The ordinance was approved on a 7-1 vote with Humphreys voting No.

An ordinance was ap proved on a 8-0 vote, for a master services agreement with MPUA Resource Services Corporation for utility services for the city. This agreement is in place in case there would be a major disaster or issue where the city would need help and instead of having to contract out the services, an agreement could be sent to the council and MPUA would send in a team to help. They have a line crew available at cost to help out in these situations. They also help with mutual aide if needed.

In unfinished business, Brewer said he had re ceived three calls regarding the pooling of water on Oklahoma Avenue between Casey’s and the Auto Shawp. Urton said he knew that the street department had that area on a list they were working on but he would touch base with

them and see what can be done.

A discussion was held on the policy on lead serv ice lines with some changes to be made. The council has asked for the people to have a 90 day, 3 monthly payment plan for customers to pay for the materials from TMU to fix the lead and galvanized lines before water was to be shut off. Originally the policy was allowing for only 30 days to pay for the materials, which concerned the council as to prices of pipe and if people could af ford to pay in those 30 days.

Urton said there are cur rently 35-80 homes with old water meters in the basements. These homes have been contacted by a door hanger being placed on their doors to contact the city, so that the meters can be changed out. There has been no contact from these owners and so there will be one more door hanger placed and then a letter will be sent with a timeframe to contact the city.

The changes will be made to the policy and then it will be brought to the next council meeting for approval.

The water district has asked for the city to pro vide them water at cost when they are flushing their lines twice a year. The council agreed to try this for one year, which would

Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an in vasive insect first found in Pennsylvania in the mid 1990’s. It is thought to have arrived in the United States in a shipping con tainer from Asia. Cur rently, it has been detected in 47 states, in cluding Missouri, in the US and 4 Canadian prov inces. It causes severe agricultural damage in several states, particu larly in the eastern US, and is a nuisance to both agricultural producers and homeowners in many other states.

Brown marmorated stink bugs are shield shaped, approximately 14 to 17 mm long (about the size of a dime), and var ious shades of brown. The adults are similar in size and shape of other stink bugs, but can be dis tinguished by the lightcolored bands found on the antenna and alternat ing light and dark bands which appear along the edges of the abdomen.

Brown marmorated stick bug will feed on over 100 plant species, includ ing field crops, fruits, vegetables and ornamen tal plants, potentially causing significant eco nomic loss. Feeding dam age on vegetables like beans, leave sunken areas and deformed pods. Feeding on fruits like apples, results in “cat facing” which renders the fruit unmarketable.

Fruit like tomatoes may have spongy areas

and internal tissue dam age as a result of BMSB feeding. Monitor for the presence of BMSB. If found, spraying field bor ders can be an effective method for reducing BMSB infestations in gar den and crops fields.

In the fall of the year, BMSB may be found in side of homes seeking shelter for the winter. The insect does not cause damage to structures, but will emit a strong odor if crushed or sucked into a vacuum cleaner. They do not pose a significant health risk to humans. Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the odor (rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis) or a skin re action (dermatitis) if the insect is crushed on ex posed skin.

Monitor for insects from late May until early October. A pesticide ap plication around the peri meter of the home when the insects first appear may be effective for a short time. A more effec tive way of controlling BMSB is to prevent the insect from entering the structure.

Cover windows with screens and seal cracks around windows and doorframes. Rake debris away from building foun dations. Cover chimneys with screen to prevent entry. Caulk any cracks in building foundations and around exposed pipes to prevent insects from en tering.

The North Central Missouri College Library recently purchased a piece of art work from NCMC student Justice Mathis entitled “Gameboy.” Since 2003, the NCMC library has purchased art from students, which is then framed and hung in the library accompanied by a small plaque. Artwork is purchased from students enrolled in Jim Norris’s art courses.

"The tradition of purchasing student artwork has allowed the library to show case exceptional pieces of art.,” said Dr. Beth Caldarello, Director of Library Serv ices. “The pictures are accompanied by plaques purchased by the Foundation with the name of the artwork, artist, and the year it was created."

The NCMC Foundation Board donates the plaque on behalf of NCMC for the project, and the artwork is framed and matted by instructor Jim Norris.

Weekly Feature on Individuals or Organizations in our Area

Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce

Established in 1912, the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce has provided serv ices to the community for over 100 years. The Chamber promotes not only busi nesses that have memberships, but the community as a whole. They inform the community of all events that are going on in the area and let everyone know about all the fun things going on. They also repre sent Chamber members, not only locally, but on the county and state levels as well.

Debbie Carman, Executive Director of the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce, said, “I very much enjoy working with the community and being part of the activities we have going on. I love working with the City and County as well as other govern ment entities and truly trying to do my part to keep Trenton a great place to be!”

The Chamber of Commerce publishes a biannual directory for the businesses and services offered in the area, with the new one for the 2023-2024 years at the pub lisher as we speak. The biannual directory contains information for those who have been in the area for years and those who are new to the area as well.

The Trenton Area Chamber of Com merce is a hub where individuals can find information about various items such as rental lists, contractors, business phone numbers, and activities. The chamber hosts ribbon cuttings celebrating new busi nesses or locations for existing businesses, coffees, after-hour events, and a banquet where the community can gather together and network with those in our area.

The biggest event the Chamber of Commerce host is the annual Missouri Day Festival every third weekend in Oc tober. Debbie said, “This event boosts our local economy and brings people from all over to gather in our beautiful city.” Some may not know the Chamber of Commerce is also the Contract Manager for the Tren

ton License Office.

Each year, the Chamber of Commerce has a food drive in July, collecting food at the local Hy-Vee store and then donating to the Community Food Pantry of Grundy County. The chamber also organizes Com munity Pride Week, where they work with other businesses and organizations to pick up as much trash around town as possible. They organize, with a community commit tee, the local Independence Day fireworks display.

The chamber takes money during the fair at the grandstand, and most of the events are events that bring those from outside the community in; this helps boost the local economy and keep Trenton grow ing.

Debbie went on to say, “One of our main jobs at the Chamber of Commerce is to provide resources and information to the community and do our best to keep their dollars local. We also do our part to sup port local activities not hosted by our of fice. Whether we are enjoying shaved ice on Third Thursday or attending the North west Missouri Leadership Music Jam, we try to be out and support local events of all types.”

Over the 100-plus years the Chamber of Commerce has been established, many changes and adaptions have occurred. With the fire destroying their building in 2015, they relocated to the Eastgate Shop ping Center, where they provide services and operate the Trenton License Bureau.

The Chamber has also adapted with on line changes such as a very active Face book page where those on Facebook can see the events and activities the Chamber has planned as well as the things they share local businesses and organizations are doing.

They also maintain a website with a Community Calendar encouraging local

businesses and organizations to post events that are going on. The calendar is shared in the monthly newsletter and sent out on the first business day of the month. The newsletter contains flyers for several local events and has a member moments section where businesses can post happen ings at their location. The newsletter is one of the many ways the Chamber keeps members in the loop.

In the future, the Chamber of Com merce wants to continue growing member ship as businesses and people enter the Trenton area. Debbie said, “We want to re
