TRENTON R-9 SCHOOL BOARD

Winter Sports Policy Addressed

In-Person Instruction Remains A Priority Keeping students in the classroom during the COVID pandemic was the focus of a lengthy discussion by the Trenton R-9 Board of Education during a meeting on Tuesday night. Superintendent Mike Stegman reported an uptick in COVID-related cases within the district, with numbers hovering around 200 for students and staff either having COVID or being quarantined as a close contact. He said that many of the incidents resulting in the absentees “are not under the control of the school district,” adding he felt the district was “doing the best it could” in its efforts to keep students and staff in the classroom. He said he believed online classes “were not the answer,” adding staff members cannot teach any better online than in person if they are ill. He said the district will do what it can to make in-person classes continue, adding he believes the district has done a good job in dealing with the pandemic. The district is looking into enhancement for its wireless network, with Stegman noting access points being the next item to be updated to help with online usage. He said funding is available through the E-rate program to help with the upgrade, which he hoped would come in late spring or summer. Director of Supportive Services Kris Ockenfels said the district has about 100 “hot spots” available for students who have little to no wireless capability with about 50 of those currently in use. Additional hot spots can be obtained if needed. He said Internet service is also available in the parking lot of the high

school and elementary school parking lots for students who cannot get service where they live. There was also discussion regarding the district’s use of iPads, with Stegman noting the district is in a program in which the devices are replaced every four years, with repairs being made as needed. Reviews as to usage of the iPads are mixed and Ockenfels said some online students are not turning in their homework even though the district is providing the hot spots and iPads. Dr. Whitaker said students need to be aware that they will not be receiving credit if they do not turn in their work. Stegman also reviewed the policy regarding attendance at winter sports activities, with the district attempting to control the number of individuals in attendance. Each athlete is being given four tickets while visiting athletes will receive two tickets and no one will be admitted without a ticket. Stegman said the district has set a maximum at 400 persons, which is around 50 percent of the capacity in the high scheol gym. The high school gym is being used for activities at both the high school and middle school to allow more spectators. Stegman noted the 400 also includes cheerleaders and band members. Several board members expressed a concern about students not having enough tickets available to them for family members to attend their events, with Brandon Gibler and Dr. David See Election, Page 8

According to information provided by Presiding Commissioner Philip Ray, Wilson Heating and Cooling submitted the lone bid for the HVAC work, which includes three two-stage 96 percent efficiency natural gas furnaces, an exhaust flue, supply line, ductwork and labor. The cost was listed at $20,221. The system will replace the boiler, which has become increasingly difficult to maintain in recent years.

COVID-19 Update COVID-19 cases continue to increase, with Grundy County seeing 33 more active cases since the report received by the Republican-Times on Monday. The Grundy County Health Department said that as of Thursday morning, 103 active cases are being monitored by health department officials. Grundy County has monitored 483 total cases since testing began, up from 50 since Monday. The total includes\ 17 deaths. Numbers continue to increase in surrounding counties as well.

It was reported there has been increased difficulty experienced with the supply of PPE available for patient care providers. Tracy also reported that while call volume has remained on track, the nature of calls has changed due to COVID. Interfacility transfer numbers are slightly up from previous years. Equipment purchase plans were outlined for FY2021, with the primary discussion centering on the remount of an ambulance. Ray said the See County, Page 8

Fire Truck To Be Repaired

City Health Insurance Sees 3.9% Increase The Trenton City Council approved employee health insurance rates and agreed to make repairs to a fire truck during a meeting on Monday night. On a 7-0 vote, with Cathie Smith absent, the council approved a 3.9 percent increase in employee health insurance through the Missouri Intergovernmental Risk Management Association, an insurance pool of 25 municipalities and of which the city has purchased its insurance coverage for the past three years. The increase for insurance coverage will be $29,580, all of which will be paid by the city. Funds to pay for the increase are coming from a rebate the city had received from its previous insurance provider and had placed in a fund to help pay for future insurance costs. The 63 employees covered by the insurance will see no rate increases for their portion of the insurance costs. The council voted 6-1, with Glen Briggs opposed, to move forward with repairs to the 2000 American LaFrance fire truck, which is currently out of service

due to being unable to pump water. Fire Chief Brandon Gibler said the truck was taken to Jon’s Mid America Fire in Oak Grove, which determined repairs are needed to a gearbox and the pump housing and estimated the cost at just over $27,000. This is the same fire truck that received $16,000 worth of chassis repairs earlier this year. Gibler talked about other options for the council to consider - both of which included purchase of a different truck. He noted a used truck would cost between $200,000 to $300,000 while a new truck could be purchased at around $475,000. By purchasing a new truck, Gibler said the council could choose to refinance its loan for a ladder truck purchased three years ago and add the new truck to the note. The city currently pays $51,000 annually for the ladder truck, which is paid through the fire tax. Adding the new truck would increase those payments to $81,000. Gibler said the city would have to come up with how to pay the difference as the tax would not support the

additional costs if a new truck was purchased. Gibler also told council members that the pumper truck now out of service is the first one out of the station for fire calls and is also used to do rental inspections, which are currently being done by the fire department. He said using the fire truck for inspections allows for firemen to be on scene immediately should they be called out for a fire or an accident while doing an inspection. City Administrator Ron Urton reported repair has been completed on one pipe at the river pump station, but that a second leak is now being addressed. He said bids are to be opened on Nov. 18 for the river jetty/pump station and rip rap repairs at the East 28th Street Bridge. Replacement of the cable on the flag pole at Five Points is also being done, resulting in the flag having to be taken down. An executive session for legal and real estate matters was also held with no announcement made.

And The Survey Says... Editor’s Note: The Trenton Republican-Times will be publishing a weekly series of articles regarding the activities of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance and information about economic and community development in Grundy County. By Micah Landes, Director North Central Missouri Development Alliance Grundy County is included the northwest region of the state and is comprised of 18 counties in the corner of Missouri. In reality, due to our central location, Grundy County is actually a part of the northeast region as far. But for state reporting purposes, we are in the northwest region. In 2019, the Department of Higher Education and Department of Workforce Development prepared a Missouri Workforce Survey study which will be referenced as the data points of this week’s update. Economic development is an art, not a science, and is always reacting to what is happening today, while attempting to position a community or county for the projected trends of the future. According to the Missouri Workforce survey, the northwest region’s workforce is comprised of 123,000 employees representing just 4.2 percent of the total state employment. In keeping with the baby boomer phenomena, the workforce is getting older, with 24 percent of the workforce being age 55 or older. Educational attainment is below state averages with the exception of high school graduation (or equivalent) rates, which are higher than the state average. The higher high school graduation rates can be attributed to the importance schools have in smaller communities which make up most of the northwest region. The study also analyzed the top employing industries in the region and showed manufacturing, health care, social assistance, retail trade, accommodation, food service and public administration were the sectors employing the most people. Within the manufacturing sector the region has concentrations in food, fabricated metals and chemical manufacturing. The production and processing of food is certainly an industry that is identified with northwest Missouri. Major food manufacturers such as Nestle, Kraft, Smithfield and Tyson provide thousands of jobs and are projected to grow through 2026. Other sectors with projected growth in the region include health care and social assistance occupations. Economic development is See NCMDA, Page 8

Moore Forgoes Senior Season To Join Loaded Pirates’ Squad Trenton Star Set To Join Pirates In Time For Season When Trenton senior Maci Moore walked off the basketball court for the last time in her junior campaign, she had almost single-handedly carried Trenton to a district championship. As it stood, though, her 25 points weren’t quite enough as the Trenton Bulldogs fell 37-31 in the final to top-seeded Chillicothe in the Hornets’ home gym. Moore was easily the most

dominant player on the court that night as was the case during most of her career at Trenton. That was the last game as a Trenton Bulldog for Moore, though. On Wednesday morning at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton, she signed a national letter of intent to join the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball program - this year. In a quirky situation that only COVID-19 could produce, Moore will be able to graduate in December and join the Pirates in January as a college student. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the National Junior College Athletics Asso-

ciation has pushed its basketball seasons back to a January start. Colleges can begin official basketball practices on Jan. 11 with games allowed to start on Jan. 22. That pushes region and district competition back to an April 10 start and the national tournament will begin on April 19. With her December high school graduation, Moore will be a part of all of it for the Pirates. While Moore’s absence will be a huge blow to Trenton’s hopes of chasing Grand River Conference and district championships in the 2020-2021 season, the opportunity to join a Pirate program on the upswing was too great for her to pass up. NCMC is coming off a 1910 season. The Pirates graduated just two players from last year’s team and have already added signings like Hamilton’s Nora Ford, Norborne’s Kennedie Crowe and Braymer’s Jasmine Taylor. Those players, combined with returning all-region performers in Kortlyn Rounkles and Lily Osborn as well as Kennedie Kieffer, who was NCMC’s leading scorer in the Pirates’ final game of the season last year despite missing all-region recognition, make North Central a frontrunner for a Region 16 championship this year. Adding Moore only further elevates what should be a championship caliber team. Moore likely won’t be just another player on the team either. The Pirates view her as an immediate contributor and a player who will be playing a big role on this year’s team.

MACI MOORE, center, signed a national letter of intent to join the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball program on Wednesday morning at the Ketcham Community Center. Moore will graduate early in December and join the Pirates in time for the season opener, which has been pushed back to Jan. 20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also pictured are NCMC assistant coach Leslie Collins, left, and NCMC head coach Jenni Croy, right.

“We are extremely excited to add Maci to our program this year,� North Central head coach Jenni Croy said. “I’ve watched her play throughout her career and always knew she was a kid who would fit into our program. She runs the floor well, can play inside and out and catches anything thrown her way. We look for her to work her way quickly into our post rotation and be able to play both the four and five position for us. We expect her to step in and make an immediate impact. She has so much natural talent and we are excited to get to coach her and see her game continue to get better and better.� Despite the move seeming like a no-brainer, Moore is leaving behind an opportunity to become the all-time leading scorer in Trenton school his-

tory. In just three seasons she accumulated 1,348 career points, placing her third on the all-time scoring list. She is behind only Ainsley Tolson’s 1,685 and Rebekah Capeder’s 1,390. Moore scored 600 points last season as a junior. Moving past Tolson and Capeder this year would have been a given. But for Moore, individual records were never considered when making the decision. Trenton will now be looking at significantly different goals for the upcoming season. Bulldog coach Kameron Cool had nothing but praise for Moore, though, understanding the unique opportunity that presented itself for a player who averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds per game last year. “Maci will go down as one of the best players in school

history,� Cool said. “She’s such a talented player and has been a huge part of this program. I think she’s going to be able to jump right in and compete really well. Coach Croy runs a great program and puts her girls in a position to be successful, and I think that will be no different with Maci. I can’t wait to watch her at the next level.� Moore will make her junior college debut when North Central opens its 2020-2021 season on Wednesday, Jan. 20. The Pirates will host Kansas City Kansas Community College at the Ketcham Community Center that night, tipping off at 5:30. North Central is scheduled to scrimmage against Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, KS six days earlier on Jan. 14.

TMS Wrestlers Kick Off Season With Tri Bulldogs Host Marceline, Chilli In Season Opener The Trenton Middle School wrestling team saw its first action in 2020 on Tuesday night, hosting a triangular with Marceline and Chillicothe. Trenton wrestlers combined to run an 11-10 overall record on the night. Trenton was paced by Mason Rongey, who was 3-0

on the night. Cooper Houser won three matches as well, finishing 3-1, while Jacob Black was 1-0, winning his lone match. Other wrestlers in action for Trenton included Avery Clark, who was 2-1; Aiden Kempton, who was 1-1; Logan Wilson, who was 1-1; Brady Tobias, who was 0-2; Kaleb McCallon, who was 0-2; and Chase Foster, who was 0-2. The Trenton wrestlers return to the mat on Thursday, traveling to the Gallatin Triangular. That event is scheduled for a 5:30 p.m. start.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has hit the SEC hard this week, The league had to postpone four of its seven scheduled games due to outbreaks among league teams. No. 1 Alabama's revenge-seeking visit to LSU was set to highlight the league schedule. Instead, COVID-19 cases in LSU's program led the league to call off the game. Virus worries for No. 5 Texas A&M led to the postponement Tuesday of the Aggies game at Tennessee. Texas A&M reported two COVID-19 cases following its 48-3 victory over South Carolina last week. Quarantining and contact tracing for Mississippi State led the SEC to postpone its contest with No. 24 Auburn. No. 12 Georgia's game at Missouri was also postponed after the Tigers had a combination of contact tracing, positive tests and quarantines. The lone SEC ranked team still playing is No. 6 Florida, which will take on Arkansas, although Razorbacks’ coach Sam Pittman won't be on the sideline after testing positive for the virus.

Chiefs Humming Along At 8-1 At Midway Point Of Season Kansas City Holds Lead In AFC West At Midpoint

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are exactly where they anticipated being at the midway point of the season. First in the AFC West. Their offense humming. Their defense playing well. The only blip through eight games came against the Las Vegas Raiders, when they played their worst game of the season and had their 13-game win streak snapped. The defeat left the Chiefs (8-1) chasing the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers for the sole first-round bye in the AFC, and their schedule

down the stretch isn't exactly easy. Still, the Chiefs are spending their bye this week feeling quite good about themselves. “We have so much fun in this offense, this team and this building,� said Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who had a big game in a 33-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. “We have a lot of character guys that love what they do. You know you are in for a few good laughs, but at the same time, this matters to a lot of people, so we take care of business.� That means not necessarily enjoying the week off too much. The Chiefs understand the complexities of the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that letting their guard down could lead to positive tests and a lot of trouble

when they return. That's why quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs are laying low in anticipation of the back half of the schedule. “You know what? I feel like a lot of guys are going to be smart, be cautious of the situations they're in,� Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill said, “and when I say that, if they go to a restaurant, wear a mask. If they go to a park, wear a mask. We're in a pivotal moment. We need everyone. I know a lot of guys want to play and a lot of guys are going to be smart this week.� Especially with a revenge game against the Raiders coming off the bye. “I'll probably take a day off, then work out the next few days, then watch The Masters on the weekend,� Mahomes said with a grin. “We have a big one coming up after the

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart

Another Positive Addition To The Area

Another good sign of progress for Trenton and the area took place last week with the announcement of the reopening of the former Country Home Inn motel on Hoover Drive just off 28th Street. The former motel is now known as Cobblestone Inn and Suites. Micah Landes of Landes, Urich and Weldon LLC, announced the opening last week and said the building has been completely remodeled and it will offer a full hot breakfast, business center, fitness room and other amenities. Congratulations to the new owners and I applaud and appreciate their inWendell Lenhart vestment in the community. The grand opening will be held on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with refreshments and tours of the new facility. This has been something that has really been needed in the area. We have so many activities here now and people need a place to stay: alumni weekend, Holiday Hoops, the Missouri Day Festival, the MidAmerica Musical Festival - the list goes on and on. She also reported the motel was completely booked for the upcoming deer hunting season, which starts on Saturday. There has been a lot of activity in that area recently with the reopening of the convenience store by Landes Oil Co. and the continued construction of the new Orscheln store across the south side of 28th Street. All of these things are bringing more people to our community to stay, shop and eat, which helps our businesses and our tax base which, in turn, helps provides services to city and county residents. Even more attractions are coming to that area as Kip and Cara McCllelan are in the process of constructing some rental cottages on the north end of Hoover Drive. These will be available for rent to families and small groups of people such as hunting parties that will be in town for extended stays. I believe all of these new additions will compliment and help each other by bringing more business to town, which also helps our existing businesses. It is great to see the new investment in town, which will to be a positive economic force for many years to come.

HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov

ANOTHER RETURN TO THE CAPITOL Extraordinary times are calling for another extraordinary session. The Legislature has been called back to Jefferson City to provide additional funding in the state’s fight against COVID-19. Last spring, when the pandemic had only just started, the federal government put together an emergency spending package, known as the CARES Act. This money was distributed to states for the purposes of assisting cities, counties and other municipalities with challenges presented by the virus. While there has been some criticism over why some of Missouri’s share of this funding had gone untouched, I believe this federal funding was not designed to be given to cities, counties and other municipalities in an instant, but distributed over time. In this pandemic, we have to not only take care of our immediate needs, but we also have to look ahead and be prepared for what could happen next. This is what we have done in the Show-Me State. During this second extra session, the General Assembly will be looking to allocate more than $1.2 billion in additional funding, with most of it coming from the federal government. My col-

leagues and I will develop a plan that will add these dollars to the current Fiscal Year 2021 budget, in a supplemental spending plan. Supplemental budgeting is common in Missouri, and part of how we can maintain a balanced budget. We still have a lot of people who are reeling from this pandemic. We will work to get these needed dollars where they need to be, and still maintain the fiscal oversight we have always had in Missouri. I am also proud to announce I have been elected by my peers to continue my role as majority caucus chair in the Missouri Senate. I enjoy being a part of the leadership team and working with my colleagues more closely on a day-to-day basis. I have had the honor of holding this title for the past two years, and look forward to another two years of helping keep a steady course for our state. I thank my fellow senators for trusting in me to do the right thing. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

What Others Are Saying... Civil War Marker

Jefferson City has graciously agreed to return the Civil War marker to the Missouri chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Guest Editorials The marker was given to the city by the UDC back in 1933, but some city residents pressured the Jefferson City Council to remove it recently. Perhaps this will end the controversy that suddenly reared up 87 years after the donation of a marker that most city residents never knew existed. It was a marker with a seemingly innocuous inscription: “Deciding against attack, the Confederate Army under Gen. Sterling Price turned from Jefferson City, October 7, 1864.� But, in a year when Black Lives Matter rose to the forefront of our society, it was much more. Opponents of the marker correctly argued the donor of the marker had an agenda beyond simply preserving history. UDC has glorified Confederate soldiers and the Southern cause. Yes, the Southern cause was about states’ rights. But it was specifically about one of those “rights� — slavery. So it’s understandable why the city, especially in the light of our society’s evolved views of civil rights, would object to keeping a gift from an organization that once

was involved in building monuments to commemorate the Ku Klux Klan. Opponents also argued the one-sentence, factual inscription has led to the myth that Price declined to attack Union forces in the city because of his love for our city. We don’t believe the inscription implies this, just as we don’t believe the myth itself. Documented history shows Price himself avoided conflict because he wrongly believed his troops were outnumbered here. Was his “love of Jefferson City� an outlying factor in his decision? Perhaps, but there’s no such proof. The bottom line is that, rather than blindly submitting to today’s cancel culture, we should strive to preserve our history — the good, the bad and the ugly. The key is to do so while putting everything in its proper perspective. A remade marker with a new inscription could have given a more complete picture of this snapshot in history. In lieu of that, we need to take it for what it is. Perhaps the ending of this chapter in history is appropriate. The marker won’t be publicly displayed in Jefferson City, but it won’t be lost to history either. UDC plans to place it at the Missouri Civil War Museum at Jefferson Barracks Cemetery in St. Louis. Meanwhile, former City Council member Edith Vogel will privately display a replica on her property, which served as Camp Lillie during the Civil War. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

MU Spreadsheet Tracks, Colostrum Management University of Missouri Extension dairy veterinarian Scott Poock has developed a spreadsheet to track and evaluate colostrum management data in dairy calves. The spreadsheet comes in response to the latest National Animal Health Monitoring System survey by Jason Lombard’s calf specialist group, which recently published a paper on the subject in the Journal of Dairy Science. The researchers favor a more complete evaluation system for calf passive immunity than the current pass-fail test. In creating the spreadsheet, Poock received input from Lombard and Sandra Godden, professor of veterinary medicine at the University of Minnesota. Evaluation of the colostrum management data can help producers reduce calf mortality and disease, Poock said. The spreadsheet is the latest accomplishment of the MU Foremost Dairy colostrum management system, which exceeds Dairy Calf and Heifer Association’s Gold Standards, he said. A newborn calf’s first meal is critical to reducing disease and death. The colostrum protects the calf by passive transfer of immunity through immunoglobulin G when it is at its highest point. The IgG protects the calf until its own immune system strengthens. It also provides vital nutrients to get calves off to a healthy start and reduce first-year mortality. This benefit extends into the productive life of the animal as well. Getting colostrum into the calves shortly after birth reduces levels of pneumonia, scours and death. Poock’s spreadsheet documents data to benchmark the passive transfer success on a farm. This year, MU production medicine students under Poock’s direction evaluated colostrum management at Foremost Dairy and several other farms. Poock’s students test fresh and frozen colostrum from the calf’s dam, or mother. Research shows that calves receive the most IgG when fed 1 gallon (for an average Holstein calf) of the colostrum within six hours of birth, with another feeding in 12 hours. The new research from the NAHMS survey raises the bar for maternal IgG levels. Previously, 5.2 to 5.5 grams per deciliter of total protein was considered “good� but now may be “fair,� and 6.2 g/dl or higher may be the new “excellent� category. Thus, the latest NAHMS survey on calf passive immunity recommends a more complete evaluation using higher standards than the current pass-fail system. For more information, person can contact Poock at 573-8083479 or poocks@missouri.edu.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension UNDERSTANDING BEEF YIELD & QUALITY GRADES by Jason Morris Ag Business Specialist The terminology of quality grade and yield grade are often used interchangeably to describe cattle, but the terms differentiate the two carcass traits. Beef producers, and those thinking of entering value-added beef enterprises, need to recognize the difference and how each is utilized in the cattle industry. Knowledge of how quality and yield grades are applied may increase profitability. Yield grades equate to an estimate of the percent retail yield of the four primal cuts of beef including the chuck, rib, loin and round. The following traits are used to determine yield grade: 1) Backfat thickness (BF): When determining carcass yield, back fat carries the most influence. A USDA grader will determine the total thickness of fat

based on the total fat of the carcass. 2) Ribeye area (REA): The ribeye area consists of muscle situated between the 12th and 13th ribs. This area is noted in square inches and typically measures between 11 and 15 square inches. 3) Kidney, pelvic and heart fat (KPH): The estimated percentage of kidney, pelvic and heart fat is the internal fat around these organs. Typically, most carcasses host anywhere from 1.5 to 4.0 percent. 4) Hot carcass weight (HCW): The hot carcass weight consists of an uncooled carcass minus the hide, head and all internal organs. In most fed cattle, this dressing percentage will be approximately 63 percent of the live cattle weight. There are five USDA yield grades from 1 to 5. A yield grade

of 1 offers the largest amount of beef, whereas a yield grade of 5 offers the least. Through yield grades, individual animal value is determined and thus profitability is impacted. Producers can utilize these USDA yield grades to market their cattle. Purchasers of beef tend to be more familiar with quality grade as it relates to palatability (eating experience) of meat. Included in this is flavor, juiciness and tenderness. This is expressed through eight quality grades: 1. Prime; 2. Choice; 3. Select; 4. Standard; 5. Commercial; 6. Utility; 7. Cutter; 8. Canner. These grades impact prices at both the producer and consumer level. Typically, beef that grades prime, choice and select are utilized in retail and restaurants. Lower grades of beef are most commonly used in further processed products, such as canned soups and frozen meals. Quality grade is determined by marbling (intramuscular fat) and maturity (physiological age). Producers who understand yield and quality grades are better equipped to make decisions about genetics, nutrition, health and production practices, as well as product marketing.

Online Course Covers Nutrition For Horses University of Missouri Extension offers a one-evening Zoom class on horse nutrition on Dec. 3. Proper nutrition is vital to the 85,000 head of horses and ponies owned by Missouri residents, said MU Extension agronomist Pat Miller. As well as bringing enjoyment to owners, she said, Missouri’s horse industry contributes significantly to the economic health of the state through activities such as trail rides, rodeos, races and show competitions. Miller will cover establishment, grazing and management of forages. Extension livestock field specialist Elizabeth Picking will focus on forage quality, hay needs and testing, and feeding strategies. Marci Crosby, coordinator of the MU Equine Program, will give an overview of equine nutrition and strategies for grain selection. The class is 6- to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3. Persons can register by Dec. 1 at extension.missouri.edu/ events/horse-nutrition-101. Handouts will be emailed before the class. For more information, persons can contact Miller at 417448-2560.

In the world, there are approximately 7.6 billion people. However, about 820 million people have trouble finding food. A large percentage of these people are often in urban areas. Cities have taken notice of this by adopting different versions of urban farming. One way cities have done this is a branch of horticulture called hydroponics. Hydroponics is the process of growing crops without the use of soil. They do this by inserting the plants into a mineral based substance to grow. They then include a water source with a mixture of minerals for the plants to absorb. These minerals are calcium, magnesium and phosphorous to name a few. Then, they put this setup where there is exposure to the sun, or they install what are known as grow lights. These lights help simulate sun exposure whenever sunlight

is not available. The amount of light exposure varies greatly by plant. There are a lot of benefits to using hydroponics. They allow people to grow crops practically anywhere. This is why many cities adopted this idea. It’s not only convenient, but it also helps to provide fresh produce in stores because stores don’t have to travel near as far to get their produce. These plants have also been shown to grow 25 percent faster than typical crops, and there is an increase in yields as well. In conclusion, agriculture stretches far beyond the field. Agriculture is not only important all across the world, but it’s also present anywhere as well. Hydroponics is a step in the right direction as we can provide food to people anywhere and everywhere.

Area City Councils Hold Meetings Sewer rates and bids topped agenda for meetings on Monday, Nov. 9 of the Spickard Board of Aldermen and Princeton City Council. Spickard The Spickard Board of Aldermen adopted new sewer rates during its meeting. According to information provided by City Clerk Amy Chapman, an ordinance setting the rates received unanimous approval. The rates become effective on Dec. 20 and include minimum monthly charges of $19 for up to 1,000 gallons of water used and $9.50 for every 1,000 gallons used over the first 1,000 gallons. Customers will be billed in 100-gallon increments over the 1,000-gallon rate. The ordinance also requires all new sewer connections to be done at the customer’s expense and that if a house is torn down or burned down, it is the owner’s responsibility to cap the existing sewer system. In other business, the board received an update from Garry Webber and Davie Akins regarding new Department of Natural Resources regulations on the city lagoon and options the city has for E.coli disinfection. It was noted discharge valves will need to be replaced in the future. Another option is to request a permit for modification of discharge limits. The council voted to check into the

permit modifications, with a report to be given at the December meeting. It was noted the city had received a compliance letter from DNR that it was no longer under enforcement at the south lift station. The council accepted the monthly financial report and paid all bills. The next meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 24. Princeton The Princeton City Council approved several items during its meeting. City Clerk Corey Willett reported the council accepted bids on old playground equipment it was selling, with Casey and Abby Hamilton purchasing the jeep and Nathan and Ashley Powell purchasing the stagecoach.

A total of $9,241.42 was raised. Pictured above are employees of the Trenton branch, presenting their donation to Cindy Jennings of the Grundy County Breast Cancer Support Awareness group.

Stegman said he believed athletes would not use all the tickets made available to them and those tickets could be given to others who need more. It was also noted efforts are being made to livestream all winter sports events when possible. Stegman also reported the district is making plans for summer school in 2021 and that a new director will need to be hired as TMS Assistant Principal Jackie Price will be unavailable to serve in that role. Stegman said he plans to advertise for that position soon. In action taken by the board, approval was given to a policy involving student searches by law enforcement.

Early-out designation would result in all after-school activities and programs being cancelled and there would be no afternoon preschool.

Under the policy addition, officers must have a reason to interview students and Stegman said efforts would be made to notify parents if an interview is to be conducted, depending on the circumstance. Hard surface bus routes used by the district during inclement weather were approved for the 2020-21 school year. It was noted that the routes, along with an outline of the district’s winter procedures, would be included on the school district website.

Dear Annie: I'm a senior at university. I'm living with my boyfriend this semester, so we're in the same "family unit" and are able to be around each other without masks and social distancing. I've been seeing my boyfriend -- let's call him Raul - for about a year and a half now. We're getting along rather well, and I can really envision a future together. However, this is the first serious relationship I've been in, and the two of us are most likely going to be in very different places once the academic year is over. Raul's applying to grad schools in Europe, and I'm looking to work for a nonprofit in the United States. Neither of us would feel good about letting the other compromise their plans or ambitions or dreams. That aside, while I was back home in Vermont during the onset of the pandemic, I got to spend a lot of time with childhood best friend -- let's call him Vermont Boy -- who just broke up with his girlfriend of three years. I felt that there was a spark between us, but nothing happened over the summer. Vermont Boy and I have been texting every day since. He also has

At one point over the summer, it felt as though we were about to kiss, but I think he held back since he knew I'm in a relationship. I'm glad we didn't kiss, but I also really wish we had. I feel like the end is near with my boyfriend, but we live together. I feel restless every time I think about Vermont Boy. Things are still going so smoothly and sweetly between me and Raul and, for emphasis, we live together! But there is a sort of bitterness that comes with knowing we have to go our separate ways. What should I do? -- At a Crossroads in Romance Dear At a Crossroads: I don't know if Vermont Boy is the one for you, but I know that Raul is not. Ending things now is the fairest and kindest thing that you can do for him. From there, see where things go with Vermont Boy, but also entertain the possibility of being single. Sometimes, when we can't decide between two things, it's because neither option is right. One important caveat: Please take social distancing precautions, such as wearing masks,

economist for Cox Automotive, says retail sales to individuals lost momentum in the U.S. in October. “Consumer sentiment is declining,” he said. Through October, U.S. automakers sold 11.5 million new vehicles, down 17% from a year ago. Cox predicts U.S. sales for the year will be 14.3 million, down 16% from 2018. But the election of Joe Biden as president and new hope for another government stimulus could help, Smoke said. Also, luxury and high-end pickup buyers are still in the market, paying big dollars that drove the average new-vehicle price to $38,800 so far this year, according to Cox.

Smooth ride for automakers

Major global automakers returned to making money in the third quarter as coronavirus restrictions eased and factories began cranking out vehicles at near-normal levels. Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Honda and Toyota made large profits because high-income buyers, especially in the U.S., spent big on loaded out and profitable pickup trucks and SUVs. This came after collectively they lost over $3 billion from April through June. With the virus spiking again in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere as winter approaches, the good times could come to an end. Jonathan Smoke, chief

meeting outside, and maintaining six feet of distance, when seeing anyone new. Dear Annie: I'm single but wanting a relationship. How does one go about dating in the current climate, with pandemic restrictions in place? -- Looking for Mr. Right Dear Looking: This is not an ideal time to be dating new people, but the reality is that people crave companionship. Dating websites are the main, and perhaps only, way to meet folks at the moment. Many sites offer free basic memberships and affordable premium memberships, such as OkCupid and Plenty of Fish. Try one out. When you find a promising match, try going on a "virtual date" -- e.g., order takeout from the same restaurant, and video chat while you eat it. Eventually, you may decide that you want to try an in-person date. Take the usual precautions of meeting in a safe, public place, along with the pandemic precautions of staying six feet apart, wearing masks and meeting outside. And communicate your safety expectations ahead of time. Sure, this is a cumbersome amount of hoops to jump through. But it won't be too long before life resumes more normally, and first dates will return to their normal level of awkwardness. In the meantime, embrace the slower pace of courtship during COVID-19.
