Board Frustrated With Nuisances Old American Legion Building Placed On List

The condition of property at 601 Jefferson St., continues to be a topic of discussion at meetings of the Trenton Building and Nuisance Board and Monday’s meeting was no exception. Ed Arnold, whose family owns property near the residence, appeared before the board, as he has in the past, to inquire what, if anything, can be done to get the property cleaned up. While it is unclear if anyone lives at the residence, Mary Mendenhall received a summons on Nov. 3, 2020 to appear in municipal court on a nuisance violation in regard to the property. The latest court docket information, entered on May 4, indicated that Ms. Mendenhall would have the nuisance abated by May 28. Police Chief Rex Ross said he believes the owner of the prop-

Board Denies Change

This property at 601 Jefferson St., pictured on May 25, has been the topic of discussion at the past several meetings of the Trenton Building and Nuisance Board. Board members are frustrated that the property, which has been the subject of court action for the past several months, has continued to accumulate trash and debris.

erty lives out of state and Ms. Mendenhall rents it. The board has held a few discussions recently on what the city ordinance actually

states, which is that the city could go in and clean up the property and pass the cost to the property owner through a tax lien. Trenton City Attorney

Tara Walker, speaking later to the city council, said that can be done, however, the items removed will have to be stored [See NUISANCE, Page 5]

City Tables MOU On 28th St. Bridge Council Also Approves Multiple Other Agreements The Trenton City Council tabled a memorandum of understanding with Grundy County concerning the 28th Street Bridge during a meeting Monday evening. Under the agreement proposed by the Grundy County Commission, the county would relinquish all ownership and financial responsibility for the bridge over Muddy Creek but would agree to pay $41,618 toward a flood repair project at the bridge. Following the completion of the project, the city would take sole own-

ership and responsibility of the bridge. Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton and several council members said they were not ready to sign an agreement that gives them sole ownership and financial responsibility for the bridge, with the phrase “We don’t need another bridge,” being said more than once during the conversation. Urton said the city limits are up the middle of Muddy Creek so the two entities should share ownership and financial responsibility. He also pointed out that in the proposed MOU the county says it will “relinquish ownership and financial responsibility” of the bridge, meaning that the county acknowledges ownership. Urton said he will draft an MOU to submit to the commission for consideration. The council approved an agreement with Allstate Consultants LLC for engi-

neering of the reservoir and river pump stations for a project that will involve the replacement of piping under the floors. The engineering cost for the reservoir pump station project is $55,000, with the cost for the river pump station coming in at $47,500. Also approved was an agreement with RS Electric for the power plant SCADA upgrade at a cost of $74,500 and an agreement with that company for replacement of breaker relays at the electric plant substation at a cost of $46,195. In other business, the board: • approved the appointment of Derrick Gott to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Lindsay Stevens to the Building and Nuisance Board. • approved the purchase of two 2021 Dodge Charger police cars from Randy [See COUNCIL, Page 5]

North Central Raises Faculty Salaries Board Approves Pre-Payment On Residence Hall

There was a lot of talk about money at Tuesday’s meeting of the North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees as the board approved the 202122 salary schedule, agreed to prepay a lump sum on the new residence halls and heard a budget projection for the coming year. At the April meeting, faculty members Dr. Lindsay Oram and Maryellen Harmon had outlined four priorities faculty members had in regard to salaries and benefits: continuation of the 100 percent boardpaid health insurance premium; a $1,000 increase to

BRIEFS

MOU Gets OK At Tuesday’s meeting, NCMC trustees approved a memorandum of understanding with Metropolitan Community College in which school districts that are in Buchanan County will become a part of NCMC’s service area. MCC will transition out of the St. Joseph site currently located at Hillyard Technical Center during the 2021-22 academic year. Once MCC has met all of its obligations under it’s existing MOU with the St. Joseph School District, NCMC will begin providing higher education to school districts in Buchanan County. Those districts include all of the St. Joseph school districts both public and private - as well as East Buchanan and MidBuchanan. The board did delete a sentence in the MOU that had been approved by MCC that stated the agreement would be in effect “until another change of service area is made.” Dr. Klaver said legal counsel had recommended it be deleted as it was not pertinent nor necessary. A more detailed story concerning the MOU appeared in the Tuesday, May 25 Republican-Times. the base salary; a vertical step movement on the salary schedule; and a $25 per credit hour increase to the rate paid for adjunct instructors and those teaching an overload number of credit hours. The health in-

surance issue was approved at the April meeting and the three other priorities were approved at Tuesday’s meeting. Information provided by the board indicated that the increase to the base and the ver-

tical step would result in an approximate 5 percent increase for non-nursing faculty. Nursing faculty will be allowed one vertical step on the nursing faculty salary schedule, for an increase of approximately 1.7 percent. Classified staff will receive a 4.5 percent increase to the base salary, while those listed on the Administrative, Management, Professional (AMP) salary schedule will receive a 2.5 percent increase. Adjunct/overload rates were increased as requested, with instructors holding master’s and bachelor’s degrees receiving a $25 per credit hour increase. Those with a master’s degree will earn $575 per credit hour, while those with a bachelor’s degree will earn $500 per credit hour. In addition, the clinical nursing rate was increased from $280 per day to $288 per day. [See NCMC, Page 5]

The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors met in special session Monday, denying a request from a contractor. According to information provided by Sunnyview Nursing Home Administrator Jerry Doerhoff, The Wilson Group, the contractor for a construction project currently under way at the facility, made a request for a change order, which was denied at this time. In addition, the board set another special meeting for 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 26 to discuss food vendors and the construction project. A closed session will also be held to discuss legal matters and personnel.

COVID Cases On The Rise

Grundy County recorded nine new cases of the COVID-19 virus on Wednesday, which is the most cases in a single day since Jan. 31. According to Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson, that brings the number of confirmed cases since the pandemic began to 849, with 253 probable cases for a total of 1,102 cases. There are currently 22 active cases in Grundy County, with cases surging in neighboring Livingston and Linn counties. The vaccination rate for Grundy County is 23.1% (2,278 individuals) being fully vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccine is available at the Grundy County Health Department, Hy-Vee Pharmacy and Wright Memorial Physician's Group. Ms. Gibson is encouraging people to return to the basics: stay home if you are feeling ill, wash hands frequently, wear masks in indoor spaces and get vaccinated.

Princeton Girls Hope Finish Is A Prelude To A Title Tigers Place Second At State With 43 Points

The Princeton High School girls track and field team was firmly entrenched in second place when the Class 1 MSHSAA Track & Field Championships came to a close on Saturday at Pete Adkins Stadium in Jefferson City. With 43 points, Princeton was a ways off state champion College Heights Christian’s total of 62. However, the Tigers were 10 points clear of third-place finisher Tarkio’s 33 points. The runner-up finish at state capped an incredible year for the Princeton girls program, which also collected Grand River Conference and district championships along the way. “As the season progressed, our girls just kept knocking it out of the park,” Princeton coach Nathan Powell said. “They were talented and we had girls scoring in every event. After winning the conference meet I think the idea of winning a district championship really began to set in with all of us. Our girls were peaking at the right time and believed in each other. Our

goal after the sectional meet was to get a team trophy but to achieve what they did at the state meet was phenomenal.” The Princeton girls will return all 11 girls who competed at the state track meet on Saturday. So, while they aren’t getting ahead of themselves, the Tigers would love to be in state title contention again this time next year. “Next year is a long way off, but having a runner-up team that brings everyone back definitely makes you think about (a state title),” Powell said. “We also have the potential for multiple state champion individuals and relays. We’ll stick with our formula and give it our best shot.” Lauren Krohn has given the Tigers big performances all year and the state meet was no exception. She qualified in all four of her events and closed out the year with a trio of state medals. She was second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 59.79 and ran third in the 200meter dash with a time of 26.73. She also anchored the 4x200-meter relay team which placed fifth with a time of 1:51.86. Faith Siemer, Maggie Hickman and Grace Kelly joined Krohn on the podiumplacing relay team. “Lauren is a terrific athlete and I believe track is her strongest sport by far,” Powell said. “Even though we lost last

THE PRINCETON HIGH SCHOOL girls track and field team placed second at the Class 1 MSHSAA Track & Field Championships in Jefferson City on Saturday. State qualifying members of the team included, from left, front row, coach Scott Ussery, coach Damon Collins, head coach Nathan Powell, coach Betsy McCulley, coach Dave McCumber; back row, Danielle Bears, Gracie Thogmartin, Maggie Hickman, Kyla Coffman, Kinslee Stokley, Breann St. Onge, Lauren Krohn, Mackenzie Dunkin, Grace Kelly and Faith Siemer.

track season (to COVID), it was obvious to all of us that she was something special. This season she didn’t disappoint. Lauren was always going to score points, but the biggest thing she improved on throughout the season was confidence in herself. As the season progressed, no matter the event, she truly believed it was hers to win. Not in an arrogant way whatsoever, but a deep seeded belief in herself. That sort of confidence is contagious and it fueled the girls around her.” Krohn just missed getting medals in all four of her events, finishing ninth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.15. The top eight in each event medaled at state. The eighth-place finisher in the 100 finished with a time of 13.07. In addition to Krohn’s runner-up finish in the 400, Princeton got two more second-place showings indivdually in the field. Breann St. Onge was second in the shot put with a throw of 12.32 meters and Kinslee Stokley was second in the pole vault after clearing 2.96 meters. “Bre and Kinslee both had huge breakthrough performances,” Powell said. “We talked as a team on Friday night in the hotel about not letting the moment be too big. Some people rise up and others fold. Both girls exemplified

what it means to compete. Bre finally let it all go and not only broke her own school record but added four feet to it. Kinslee switched to a new pole at the beginning of the week and for her to come out and vault like she did when literally everyone left in the stadium was watching was a special moment for all of us. Those finishes were huge for them moving forward from a confidence standpoint. Those two girls are going to be state champions.” Princeton double-placed in the pole vault as Danielle Bears finished eighth in the event after clearing 2.4 meters. Other placewinners for the Tigers included Gracie Thogmartin, fourth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.65; Megan Spencer, seventh in the javelin with a throw of 33.53 meters; and the 4x100-meter relay team of Makenzie Dunkin, Siemer, Bears and Kelly, which was eighth with a time of 54.36. Others in action at state for Princeton included Kyla Coffman, who was 10th in the discus with a throw of 28.52 meters, and the 4x400-meter relay team of Siemer, Hickman, Thogmartin and Kelly, which was 15th with a time of 4:43.21.

Rounding out the top five in the girls team standings were Rock Port, fourth with 32 points, and St. Joseph Christian, fifth with 30. A total of 57 schools scored at least one point at the state championships. PRINCETON BOYS For the Princeton boys, the relay teams were the highlight. The Tigers had four placewinning performances at state and three of them belonged to relay teams. Princeton’s 4x400-meter relay team of Eli Henke, Ben Berwanger, Justin Rhoades and Andrew Rhoades was the highest-finishing relay team for the Tigers at state, earning a fifth-place medal with a time of 3:35.56. Those same four athletes also combined to finish sixth in the 4x200-meter relay, doing so with a time of 1:34.77. Princeton’s 4x100-meter relay team of Blaze Siemer, Berwanger, Luke Kelly and Justin Rhoades placed eighth at state, finishing with a time of 45.76. “Our guys were fantastic all season long,” Powell said. “We didn’t have the depth of the girls team but we had a core group of guys that were lights out when it came to our relays. Eli Henke, Ben Berwanger ,

Luke Kelly, Zeb Schwartzkopf, Blaze Siemer, Justin Rhoades, Andrew Rhoades and Talan Holt each ran on multiple relays at various meets throughout the season and pushed each other every single day to be sharp and get better. They were coachable and each of them was ready to run at a moment’s notice.” Individually, Princeton had one state medalist in Zeb Swartzkopf, who was fifth in the long jump with a mark of 6.08 meters. Henke would place 10th in the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.88 and Andrew Rhoades was 12th in the same event, finishing with a time of 53.04. Andrew Rhoades was also 16th in the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.64 to round out the Princeton boys’ efforts at state. Green City won the boys state title with 87 points. Mound City was a distant second with 48 points and Valle Catholic was third with 41. Rounding out the top five were Calvary Lutheran with 37 points and Knox County with 32. The Princeton boys’ 12 points earned placed the Tigers in a tie for 19th-place overall. A total 61 schools scored at least one point at the meet.

NPPC Urges USDA To Appeal Federal Ruling DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A group representing pork producers urged the federal government Tuesday to let them continue an effort to speed up the processing of pigs into bacon and ham despite a union’s claim that the increased volume endangers workers. The National Pork Producers Council, an industry trade group, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture calling on the agency to appeal a ruling by a federal judge that it argued would needlessly slow production and hurt farmers still recovering from problems associated with the coronavirus pandemic. “The U.S. pork production system, the most advanced in the world, is characterized by robust competition, innovation and efficiency. With the stroke of a judge’s pen, the lives of many hog farmers will be upended if this misguided ruling takes effect,” said NPPC President Jen Sorenson, communications director for Iowa Select Farms, the state's largest pork producer based in West Des Moines. The United Food and Com-

mercial Workers Union, which represents 33,000 pork slaughterhouse workers, said the judge's ruling recognized that the USDA failed to consider worker safety when it finalized the faster production speeds. UFCW International President Marc Perrone said in a statement that the USDA must conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of increased line speeds on worker safety. The latest conflict is centered on a federal rule initiated years ago but finalized by former President Donald Trump's administration in 2019 that would have enabled several more pork slaughterhouses to eliminate a limit on line processing speeds as early as July 1. After the UFCW filed a lawsuit in federal court in

ANNIE’S PROJECT SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 1-15 By Carlee Quinn Ag and Environment Specialist The University of Missouri Extension in the Northwest region will be hosting an Annie’s Project for area women. Annie’s Project is an 18-hour discussion-based workshop that brings women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resources, marketing, and the legal field. Farm women come from all kinds of backgrounds, some of which prepare them for the responsibilities of operating a farming enterprise. Other women come into farming by marrying men who are farmers, or by their spouse or family members passing, leaving them to manage the operation. Being married to a farmer or being a woman in a male dominated industry has its obstacles. Some

women have learned to handle this task very well and are helpful guides to women who have not had it so easy. Participants in an Annie’s Project course find answers, strength, and friendship. Farm women grow in confidence, business skills and community prestige. The six educational sessions of the course include topics from five risk areas. The course will cover financial risk, where we will discuss basic financial documents and how to interpret them. We will also cover human resource risk, which will address insurance needs and succession planning. The legal risk portion of the class will cover estate planning and farm leasing. The market risk portion of the course will cover grain and livestock marketing. Finally, production risk will be addressed. There will

Minnesota, U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen struck down the line speeds rule, finding that the USDA acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it refused to consider the impact of faster line speeds on worker safety. On March 31, she ordered the rule to be vacated but delayed the effective date for 90 days to give the USDA and the industry “time to prepare for any operational change.” Pork processing plants in Hatfield, Pennsylvania; Coldwater, Michigan; Freemont, Nebraska and Austin, Minnesota, have been working with the faster line speeds under a pilot project for years and a plant in Guymon, Oklahoma, began faster speeds in 2019. Several others were expected to adopt faster speeds but plans were delayed by the pandemic.

Extension Notes

also be a day trip to tour diverse agricultural operations. During the course, there is plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting and connecting with your presenters and fellow participants. This course is a relaxed, fun, and dynamic way to learn, grow and meet other women in agriculture. The class is designed for farm women, but it is certainly open to anyone interested in the class. There are five sites available for the Annie’s Project course in Northwest Missouri: Chillicothe, Higginsville, Marshall, Maryville, and St. Joseph. This will be a hybrid class, with some sessions being held via zoom and some being held in-person. The course will run from June 1st, 2021 to June 15th, 2021. A complete schedule can be found online. The course is free to those who register. Registration is required, as space is limited. To register, please visit https://extension.missouri.edu/events/ann ie-s-project-northwest or call 660-288-3239.

NEWSPAPER PRINTING The Republican-Times newspaper will be switching to a new printer beginning next week. Because of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, the first paper of the week will be delivered on Wednesday, June 2, and then we will return to a normal schedule with the Friday, June 4, newspaper. The paper will now be printed in St. Joseph at the NPG printing plant and delivered to the post office in time to be delivered the same day to our subscribers in the immediate area, so you shouldn’t notice any change in regard to when you receive your newspaper. Persons who pick up their newspaper from a vending machine will be able to pick them up first thing in the mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays. Fortunately, our deadlines will remain the same. News items are accepted every day but we really need to have them as early as possible on Mondays and Thursdays - the day we put the papers together. Advertising needs to be submitted by noon on Friday for Tuesday’s paper and noon on Wednesday for Friday’s paper. We are fortunate to be able to print on the same schedule that we have been for the last several years. The only other difference I think that readers will notice is that the paper will now come half-folded instead of quarter-folded. We hope you will see an improvement in print quality with sharper and brighter pictures. We also plan to have expanded color printing capabilities and will try to use color more often in the paper. We have taken every step that we could think of to make this transition as seamless as possible and we do not anticipate any major problems. With any change, there will be some minor bugs to work out. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions over the next several weeks as we move to a new printing plant and slightly different distribution schedule. We will continue to provide you with the same, great local news coverage that you have come to expect - and plan to be doing so for many years to come. We appreciate the support of our community and the surrounding area.

As we recently reported, the Missouri Historical Society is seeking submissions for a Bicentennial Time Capsule to commemorate Missouri’s bicentennial this year. Clubs, schools, community groups, businesses and government agencies are encouraged to submit items. Newspapers are typical items, but what about recent fashion trends? They might not be able to fit a pair of skinny or ripped jeans in a time capsule. What about a set of Apple AirPods? What about a blue surgical mask? It’s probably not how we want to be remembered, but it would certainly reflect reality. How about a photo of the Tesla charger at Culver’s here in Jefferson City?

sule is opened 25 years from now? Should we put modern-day images and letters on a thumb drive? That might be a cruel trick to challenge a future society to find an equally antiquated computer to open the files. One thing is for sure: We don’t want what happened in Derry, New Hampshire to happen here. They recently opened a time capsule from 50 years ago and it was empty. No one seems to know whether it was raided or if anything was put into it in the first place. The deadline to submit to the time capsule is Aug. 10, Missouri Statehood Day. All Missouri- based profit and nonprofit organizations are eligible to contribute three items: one to represent their past, one to represent their present and a note to future Missourians. Items should measure no larger than 8.5 x 14 inches — i.e., no larger than legal size paper — and combined be no more than a quarter-inch thick. All submissions need to be in printed form and not electronic. An online registration form on missouri2021.org is required for all submissions and items should be mailed to: The State Historical Society of Missouri, Attn: Time Capsule, 605 Elm St., Columbia, Missouri, 65201. An event to commemorate the time capsule will be Aug. 27 in St. Louis. We encourage you to make submissions as a way to retain our history and “pay it forward” to the next generation. - Jefferson City News Tribune

With the new salary schedule, a first-year faculty member with a bachelor’s degree would earn $32,187, while one with a master’s degree and no experience would earn $35,957 and one with a doctorate would earn $39,727. That schedule, as well as the nursing faculty schedule, classified staff schedule and salary ranges for professional/management staff (which includes five groups) were also approved. Increases of $500 were approved for coaching stipends, which sets the stipend for basketball, baseball and softball head coaches at $6,500; golf head coach at $4,250; assistant coaches at $3,250; dance team coach at $2,500; and shooting club coach at $2,500 to be split between two employees. Board members looked over a projection of how the 202122 consolidated budget will look. It includes income of $13,262,592 and expenditures of $13,086,668. Income includes tuition and fees of $7,433,078 (based on minor enrollment increases and an approved credit hour increase), state appropriations of $2,939,169 (based on an increase of $373,000 in state appropriations), local tax revenue of $362,800 and other income of $376,500. Added to $2,151,045 in auxiliary operations funds, the total comes to $13,262,592. On the expenditure side, salaries account for $5,755,288 (including a raise approved at the meeting), fringe benefits of $1,726,282, other, listed at $3,454,053 and auxiliary operations expenditures of $2,151,045 for a total of $13,086,668, leaving a surplus of $175,924. Vice President of Business and Finance Tyson Otto said he feels that amount is a good “cushion” to have as the college moves into a year in which there are some unknowns such as the new residence halls and the new Savannah site in Andrew County. The new budget is expected to

be presented and approved at the June meeting and goes into effect July 1. The “COVID” funding that the federal government has approved was discussed at several points along the way during the meeting and will be allocated as allowed for various projects for both the college and the Green Hills Head Start program, which is administered through NCMC. In personnel matters, board members accepted the resignation of Traci Norris as math faculty member and division chair of the Math, Science, History and Social Science Division. Her last day will be June 30. The board hired Megan Erickson of El Cajon, CA to serve in the AMP position of athletic trainer at a salary of $37,500 beginning Aug. 2 and Janna Ingram of Brookfield as a full-time behavioral health instructor at an approximate beginning salary of $37,097. She is set to begin her duties Aug. 18. Cassie Franken was hired as an adjunct instructor, teaching imaging courses this summer ,and Alex Holcer of Meadville was hired to serve as a parttime, exempt, clinical adjunct instructor for the nursing department, beginning in the fall. In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, the board: • approved a memorandum of understanding with Metropolitan Community College that puts Buchanan County in NCMC’s service area (see sidebar). • exercised its option to prepay a lump sum on the new student housing project to Weldon Builders and Construction in the amount of $1.2 million. Otto said the prepayment on the lease will reduce the future lease payments to approximately $87,000 per year. In addition to estimated operating costs, the annual lease amount can be covered by the annual revenues generated through housing fees. The funds for the prepayment will come from capital project reserves. In a letter presented to board members, Scott Weldon had requested the funds be available

by July 1, which would leave the balance on a line of credit at BTC Bank under $900,000. The current project cost for the two buildings is $2,016, 381.95, although Weldon said the cost of insulation and drywall will likely result in a few change orders but that amount would only be a few thousand dollars per building. The college had earlier entered into a public-private arrangement with Weldon in which the college owns the land and Weldon owns the buildings. • approved new or revised job descriptions for the positions of senior network/security administrator, athletics assistant, digital media specialist and grant writer. • approved a board policy change that allows existing employees transitioning into new roles within six months of July 1 to be eligible for salary range adjustments such as cost of living, etc. • approved the continuation of auditing services for the next three years with KPM CPAs and Advisors of Springfield at annual costs of $45,000, $45,600 and $46,100 respectively. • heard multiple reports, including information from Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre on a group of Tongo Americans who were on campus and are trying to recruit more students from the Kingdom of Tongo to attend college in the U.S. Head Start Directors Janet Gott and Sue Ewigman said there were no findings in a recent monitoring review and Tina Marrs presented information on a recent Head Start assessment on center- and home-based outcomes. Chief Information Officer Jennifer Triplett updated the board on the ongoing infrastructure refresh project and said bids have been sought for the IT equipment needed for the new residence halls. She also discussed an upgrade to the OneCard physical access system and the new email security system. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 22.

and returned to the owner at some point. She said the city ordinance mirrors state statute. According to the city code: “Any lot or land shall be a public nuisance if it has the presence of debris of any kind, including, but not limited to, weed cuttings, cut and fallen trees and shrubs, overgrown vegetation and noxious weeds which are eight (8) inches or more in height, rubbish and trash, building materials not piled and stacked, rocks or bricks, tin, steel, parts of derelict cars or trucks, broken furniture, any flammable material which may endanger public safety or any material which is unhealthy or unsafe and declared to be a public nuisance.” When a public nuisance has been declared, city code requires the property owner to be given written notice and if the property is not owner-occupied, to any occupant of the property. Due process is required and if the owner fails to begin removing the nuisance within the time allowed (seven days) or without unnecessary delay, the building inspector or other authorized person “shall cause the condition which constitutes the nuisance to be removed.” The code goes on to say that the cost will be included in a special tax bill or added to the annual real estate tax bill for the property. If the bill is not paid, the tax bill

The cost estimates for the re-

shall be considered delinquent and the laws governing delinquent back taxes will apply. The tax bill would be considered a personal debt against the owner and shall also be a lien on the property from the date the tax bill is delinquent until it is paid. Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton, replying to questions about why nuisance cases appear to get stalled in the municipal court system, said that due to changes in the state statutes, municipal courts don’t have as much leeway as in the past. Mrs. Walker, though, in speaking to the full council, did agree that the code does allow for removal of the debris on property, although she isn’t sure the city would want to set the precedent of removing personal property. She said she will look into the issue and see if there is anything that can be done. The board also discussed the old American Legion Building at 103 E. 10th St., owned by Scott Weldon. Code Enforcement Officer Wes Barone said the building continues to deteriorate, noting that the chimney is falling apart and bricks are laying on the ground around a back door. The board reviewed an engineering report that had been submitted to the city by Olsson Associates. That report stated that the building was dangerous even at that time and should be demolished. The property was declared a nuisance in 2016,

but the issue that was the problem at that time was fixed and it was removed from the nuisance list. Barone said the building is currently in such bad shape that is needs to be declared a nuisance and go through the steps to have it demolished. The board concurred with that recommendation and did declare the property a nuisance. Board members left property at 401 Monroe St., owned by Don Dockray, on the “Declaration of Nuisance” list for another 60 days during which time it is expected to be demolished, and moved the old freight house property, owned by Shane Michaels, to public hearing as no progress has been made since the last meeting. Property at 604 Linn St., owned by Duane Lahn, was left at public hearing for another 30 days, with progress being made on the interior of the house and a contractor sought to fix a hole in the basement. Property at 1000 Rural St. was given another 30 days on Findings of Fact and it was noted that there are a few windows and screens still missing. Board members discussed the condition of 140 E. Fifth St., owned by Arvetta Hamilton, with Third Ward City Councilman David Mlika indicating he is willing to see if he can help the property owner make some repairs to the house. The next board meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 28.

maining six would not be honored into 2022. • accepted a scrap metal bid from Pettit Salvage. The bid amounts were: hardware, metal and wire, 16 cents per pound; copper wire, clean $2 per pound or dirty, $1.25 per pound; scrap metal for the street department, $100 per ton; steel, cast iron, pipe, fittings, $100 per ton; brass water meters, $1.03 per pound; and batteries, 12 cents per pound. • discussed the issue of nuisances not being addressed in a timely manner through the court system, in particular, the nuisance at 601 Jefferson St., (see Building and Nuisance Board story). • discussed a proposal from Black Silo Winery to purchase

the portable restrooms from the city to be used at the winery and loaned back to the city as needed. No dollar amounts were discussed and the winery’s owner, Fourth Ward Councilman Duane Urich, was not present at the meeting. Councilmembers said they feel the issue should be discussed with the organizations that helped provide funding for the restrooms, which includes the city, Park Board, the North Central Missouri Fair Board and the Trenton Downtown Improve-ment Association. The next regular city council meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 14.

AREA DEATHS Betty Sue Gillilan Betty Sue Gillilan, an 80year-old Gallatin resident, died Monday, May 24, at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City. Private family graveside services are planned at the Lick Fork Cemetery at Gallatin. Arrangements are under the care of Stith Funeral Home in Gallatin and friends may sign the register book after 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 26, at the funeral home. Sue was born on July 2, 1940, the daughter of Perley and Minnie Huffman, the oldest of 12 children. She grew up on a farm south of Gallatin and attended grade school at Lock Springs and high school at Gallatin. She received a B.S. degree in education and a master’s degree in computer science from Northwest Missouri State University at Maryville. She taught English at Jamesport and then was the K-12 librarian at Gallatin. After her retirement, she spent 10 years at Winston as a parttime librarian. Sue was a voracious reader up until the day of her death. She loved introducing young minds to the art of reading and spent many years taking field trips to the Children’s Litera-

ture Festival at Warrensburg. She was a member of Laureate Delta Rho chapter of Beta Sigma Phi for several years and loved being a part of a great group of women serving their community. As a single mother most of her life, Sue was a determined DIYer that maintained a beautiful home and property. She was an animal lover, especially small poodles and kittens, and was rarely without a dog by her side while driving or being in the house. She is survived by a daughter, Stacy (Brian) Sprouse of Gallatin, whom she adopted at three weeks of age in December of 1967 in Washington, D.C.; five brothers, Bob, Jack, Stan, William Garl and Joe; and five sisters, Joyce Peery, Janet Richardson, Linda Primm, Ann Salyer and Tammy Huffman. She was preceded in death by one sister, Rose Mary Porter; and two nephews, Ryan Porter and Danny Huffman.

ways taught that if I receive an invitation to an event, I should give a present even if I am unable to attend. However, I am confused about what is expected in situations such as these. I want to do the right thing but not feel taken advantage of. -- Unsure in Texas Dear Unsure: An invitation is not an obligation. That goes for both gifts and attendance. You should worry about buying a gift only if you're going to attend, and you should attend only if you truly care to. If not, sending your regrets and best wishes is more than sufficient. Dear Annie: How do I tell a guy I just started dating that I can't stand his mustache? First of all, it is not attractive at all. Then there is the matter of how, when he kisses me, it feels like sharp spikes going into my skin. I have dated and kissed other guys with mustaches and did not feel the same discomfort, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I like him and enjoy his company. I don't want to hurt

Dear Annie: I read your column in my local paper, and you seem to respond in an unbiased manner, so I am turning to you for advice. Over the past few months, I have received invitations to a 1-year-old's birthday party, a graduation and a wedding reception (not the wedding). In each case, the inviter was an acquaintance whom I know casually. I don't consider any of them to be a close friend, especially the graduate, whom I am "friends" with on social media but haven't seen or spoken to in over a year and a half. All of the invitations were sent electronically. I am wondering whether the new world of technology has cheapened the tradition of celebrations. I can't help but feel that the invitations were not sincere and I was just included on mass lists of invitees gathered from social media. Receiving them has made me feel used, in a way. I do not plan on attending any of the events. The dilemma I am facing is whether to send gifts. I was al-

his feelings. What can I do? -'Stache-Scratched Dear 'Stache-Scratched: Speak up in behalf of your upper lip. After all, it would be hurtful to your new boyfriend if you wriggled away whenever he went in for a kiss and he didn't know why. There are plenty of remedies he could try -- such as trimming less often and softening it with conditioner or coconut oil -- short of shaving his mustache. Although you'd prefer he just shave it because you don't like the way it looks, that's not your call. To insist that a partner change his or her appearance is to be controlling. You can politely make your feelings known. (For example, you could say, "I would love to see you without a mustache. I bet you'd look even handsomer.") But ultimately, it's up to him. Who knows? With time, the mustache might actually grow on you. "Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie" is out now!

Cutting out the middleman Brands increasingly see their future in selling their goods directly online to shoppers, rather than marketplaces like Amazon or through other retailers’ sites, according to a survey of 140 brands by research firm Forrester Research. The study, which was conducted in February and March and includes fashion, consumer packaged goods and electronics, revealed 87% of those polled have their own direct-to-consumer sites; of the remaining 13% that didn’t sell directly to consumers, 53% said they would do so within the next three years. The pandemic accelerated shoppers’ shift online and exposed problems selling through online marketplaces such as

counterfeits and lack of access to data on their own consumers. During the height of COVID-19, Amazon limited shipments to essentials only, hurting sellers that sold non-essentials like clothing. The survey found that most brands polled believe that selling directly is profitable. Brands selling on online marketplaces face high costs to land at the top of search results, while they give up some profits when they sell their goods to retailers. “Brands want the cream of the crop of the merchandise to themselves,” said Forrester’s Sucharita Kodali, noting that labels like Nike and Levi’s are focusing more on selling directly to shoppers.
