Teachers Make Salary Proposal
Summer School Handbook Approved The summer school handbooks were approved and a certified staff salary/insurance coverage proposal was heard by the Trenton R-9 Board of Education during a meeting on Tuesday night. On a vote of 5-0, with Brandon Gibler and Corey Leeper absent, the board approved the parent/student and staff summer school handbooks, which include several changes in the discipline policy to address concerns expressed by staff and administration following last year’s summer school session. TMS Assistant Principal Jackie Price, who serves as the summer school principal, had told the board at an earlier meeting that she wanted the policy changes in place as soon as possible to give parents plenty of notice about the changes. In the classroom, students who violate a rule will be given a reminder of the rule by the teacher on the first occurence, with the consequence of a continued violation being moved to a safe seat, losing recess time or spending lunch time in detention. Before returning to the group, the teacher will talk to the student to make sure he/she is able to identify the undesirable behavior and the rule violated. If the behavior does not change, the student will be
sent to the office. The first office referral will include a parent conference and the student being sent home the rest of the day. A second referral adds OSS for the following three days after a student has been sent home. A third referral results in the student being sent home for the rest of the session. In regard to causing physical harm to another (student/staff) by being involved in a physical altercation, a first offense will result in a parent conference, the student being sent home and three days of OSS. A second offense sends the student home for the rest of the session. Summer school will be held at Rissler School, beginning on Wednesday, May 27 and continuing through Friday, June 26. Although no action was taken, the board heard a presentation from the Salary and Welfare Committee regarding a certified personnel salary/benefits proposal for next year. The committee is asking for approval of a $700 increase to the base salary on the salary schedule as well as increasing the amount the district pays for employee health insurance to $650. The $700 would be added to each step on the salary schedule and would set the base salary for a teacher
with a bachelor’s at $33,000. All teachers would be affected by the proposal. Sixth Grade Social Studies Teacher Kelli Griffith, who spoke on behalf of the committee, said committee members were concerned that if 100 percent of the health insurance were not paid, employees would begin to opt out and insurance costs would continue to rise. Mrs. Griffith said the committee suggested $650 for insurance, but understands actual cost could be more when bids are sought and hopes the board would look at paying whatever the amount might be. The district currently pays a premium of $601 per month per employee. Board member David Whitaker indicated the district wants teachers not to have to pay for their health insurance, but added coverage may have to change based on costs. To make sure teachers would not have to pay for their insurance, Whitaker said coverage may need to change. Another member, Cliff Roeder, suggested looking at a higher deductible in an effort to lower the premium or keeping it the same. Mrs. Griffith said a survey could be done to get
Laredo R-7 The Laredo R-7 Board of Education approved the extension of the administrator’s contract during a meeting on Monday night. According to information provided by Administrator Misty Foster, the board agreed to extend the contract for Ms. Foster by one year, giving her a three-year contract through the 202223 school year. Her salary will be set during the budget process. Approval was given to the district calendar for 2020-21, with the first day of classes being Tuesday, Aug. 25 and the last day being Wednesday, May 12. Classes will start each day at 7:55 a.m. and be dismissed at 3:30 p.m.
Improvements to the city airport dominated discussion at Monday night’s Trenton City Council meeting, with members voting to support a plan that would include a public and private partnership. Council members reviewed cost estimates to construct a new hangar that would house eight airplanes at the airport, replacing two buildings currently used that are in dire need of major repairs and/or replacement. The project, which includes extensive dirt work that would elevate the hangar building four feet above its current level, has an estimated cost of just over $1,444,500. It was noted that the city will have just over $1 million available for the project through 2023, including a $559,000 block grant from the FAA/Missouri Department of Transportation the city received in FY20 as well as $450,000 in FAA credits for airport work by 2023. This would leave project funding around $385,500 short of what is needed, which is where private participation would be used. Pilots who use the airport, two of whom were at Monday night’s meeting, have agreed to look at financing construction of the hangars, which would be built on airport property the pilots would lease from the city. The pilots would actually own the hangar space, paying no rent to the city except for the yearly lease payment for use of the land. The cost for the hangar building has been estimated at $585,000, which includes a steel building, footings, flooring and sidewalls and electricity to the structure. The city would be responsible for all dirt work. It was noted by several council members that without the pilot participation, the project could not be done. Councilman Larry Crawford said the project comes down to whether or not the city wants to continue having an airport. Members agreed to support the plan on a vote of 7-0, with Cathie Smith absent. The plan will now go back to the pilot’s group, which will now determine whether or not they can finance their portion of the project. Approval was given to a lease agreement between the city and Aaron Landes d/b/a Landes Farms to farm land the city owns in north Trenton. The agreement, which is for one year with up to four oneyear extensions, is for $192.52 per acre for approximately 65 acres ($12,448.80). The lease includes a lost crop reim-

Trenton Oversteps Quarter Limits Bulldogs’ Lead Slips Bulldog Girls Have To Forfeit Game At Maysville MAYSVILLE GIRLS 1 TRENTON GIRLS 0
The Trenton High School girls basketball team walked off the court at Maysville on Monday night with the scoreboard showing the Bulldogs as 40-29 winners. Just 16 hours later, that was no longer the case. The official record will show Trenton fell to Maysville by a final score of 1-0 after Trenton inadvertantly used a player for four quarters of a junior varsity contest and three more quarters in the varsity game. The Missouri State High School Activities Association sets a limit of six quarters per night for each player. Trenton discovered the error on Tuesday morning and self-reported to MSHSAA and Maysville High School before forfeiting the contest.
“During last night’s (Monday) junior varsity-varsity girls basketball contests at Maysville, Trenton High School played an individual player seven quarters, which is one quarter above the allowable limit set by the Missouri State High School Athletic Association,” Trenton athletic director Wes Croy said in a statement via email. “Because of this, Trenton High School has self-reported the error to MSHSAA and forfeited the game to Maysville. Our athletic department and district would like to apologize to Maysville High School, the Grand River Conference, MSHSAA and our fans for this oversight.” Maysville athletic director Matt Blythe went out of his way to commend Trenton on its handling of the situation. The Wolverines were unaware an infraction had been made by the Bulldogs until Trenton reported it to them. “A mistake was made in the heat of the game,” Blythe said. “Coach (Kameron) Cool was trying to get varsity playing time for his girls. I respect Coach Cool, Wes Croy and the administration for the self-reporting. Coach Cool could have let the infraction go unnoticed, but he showed courage and respect for the game and has taught a
lesson to his team on being honorable.” Trenton was able to overcome the absence of leading scorer Maci Moore in the make-up game on Monday night. Moore was out of the lineup with an illness, making the final score closer than it could have been. With Tuesday’s discovery, however, that point became moot. All statistics accumulated individually in the contest were erased by the forfeit as if the game was never played. The added loss dropped Trenton to 13-8 overall and pushed their final GRC East Division record to 5-2. At 5-2, Trenton still finishes runner-up in the East Division as the third-place school, Polo, has a 5-3 conference mark. The Bulldogs will take on West Division runner-up Stanberry on Saturday at the GRC Showcase in King City. That game will tip off at 3 p.m. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton won the junior varsity contest with Maysville 41-20. Gracyn Rongey had 11 points, Rebecca Urich had eight, Jenna Reeter had six and Morgan King and Kaylynn Stanton each scored five. Trenton also got four points from Hannah Bowe and two from Mallory Sole.
NCMC Women Bounce Back With Win After Loss On Monday, Pirates Prevail NCMC WOMEN 72 MARSHALLTOWN 63 Coming off a 93-58 loss on Monday at Moberly Area Community College, a Di-
vision I school receiving votes in the national poll, the North Central Missouri College women were in need of a rebound on Wednesday night at Marshalltown Community College. The Pirates got just that in the form of a 72-63 road win. “We got off to a slow start after the long bus ride and finally started playing better in the second quarter,” North Central coach Jenni
Croy said. “It was great to get everyone some quality minutes and get back in the win column.” Kortlyn Rounkles led the Pirates in the win, scoring 23 points to go with four assists and three steals. Kennedie Kieffer had 11 points and 19 rebounds and Dymeria Guillory scored 11 points as well. At Moberly, North Central fell behind 20-9 in the first quarter and never re-
covered. Rounkles led the Pirates with 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Lily Osborn had 13 points as well while Da’Briauna Bables finished with 12 points and seven boards and Kieffer tallied 10 points. North Central, now 16-8 overall, will host the Park University junior varsity tonight (Friday) in Trenton at 5:30.
Away In Rough Fourth Quarter
Trenton Falls After Allowing 27 Points In Final Eight Minutes
MAYSVILLE BOYS 50 TRENTON BOYS 47
For the better part of three quarters on Monday night, the Trenton High School boys basketball team’s defense was outstanding. In the fourth quarter, it fell apart. Trenton limited the Wolverines to 23 points through three quarters, but allowed 27 in the fourth quarter alone, costing the Bulldogs a conference win as host Maysville scored a 50-47 victory. Even with the collapse at the end, Trenton had a chance to tie the game and force overtime. But the buzzerbeating three-point attempt was off the mark, giving the win to Maysville. “We haven’t been in a lot of games this season where late-game situations have came into account,” Trenton coach Corbin Coe said. “So we have to learn how to do those things better. The kids did do some good things. When we lost the lead
for the first time we ended up getting another five-point lead out of it. We just have to figure out those lategame situations and how to finish out a ballgame.” Trenton had led 12-2 after the first quarter and took a 23-10 lead into the locker room at halftime. But things began to tilt Maysville’s way in the third quarter. Still, Trenton carried a 34-23 lead into the final frame, where things fell apart. “We give up 23 points through the first three quarters and then we give up 27 in the fourth quarter,” Coe said. “We just have to make sure we don’t allow a team to get to the rim as often as (Maysville) did in the fourth quarter.” Trenton was led by Chase Otto and Royce Jackson with 16 and 14 points respectively. Jaren Whitney followed with eight and Gavin Roeder, Preston Harris and Brycin Loyd had three points each to round out the Trenton total. With the loss, the Bulldogs fell to 3-18 overall, giving them a final Grand River Conference East Division mark of 0-7. Trenton will face King City, who went winless in the West Division, at the GRC Showcase in King City on Saturday. The match-up of eighth-ranked teams tips off in the Wildkats’ old gym at 10:30 a.m. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity boys fell 52-27 against Maysville. Randy Bowden had 10 points to lead the Bulldog JV while Tucker Otto had seven and Bo Meeker scored four. Two points apiece for Creed Dodson, Keegan Brown and Jesse Huber rounded out the Trenton effort.

but the Pirates were always on the winning end. On Wednesday night in Ottumwa, IA, that streak was snapped. The Pirates, ranked first in the NJCAA Division II poll, succumbed to fourth-ranked NJCAA Division I Indian Hills, falling 90-72. The Pirates looked every bit the equal to the Division I powerhouse through much of the first half, trailing just 26-23. But things spiraled out of control from there as the host school closed the half on a 23-8 run to take an 18-point advantage into the locker room at the break. “We really struggled for a seven-toeight minute period in the first half and allowed (Indian Hills) to go on a run which really ended up deciding the game,” Pirates’ coach Jeremy

North Central was led by Atavian Butler, who had 19 points and seven rebounds in the loss. TJ Babikir followed with 16 points and had four steals.

The Pirates lost two firstplace votes in Monday’s NJCAA Division II poll, but still held on to the top spot in the rankings. The next poll is due out next Monday. North Central had an opportunity to bounce back on Thursday night, playing host to the Central Methodist University junior varsity.

The Final Word
Presidential Choices
On the Democrat side, 68 of the party’s 78 state delegates will be pledged to candidates based on the results of the primary. The other 10 will be unpledged delegates, made up of seven members of the Democratic National Committee, two U.S. representatives and former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt. There will be 22 names on the Democrat ballot, many of whom have already dropped out of the race as well as some who are on the Missouri ballot only. The Republican Party uses a “winner take all” system, requiring the candidate to have an absolute majority to take all of the delegates (54). There are five Republican candidates on the ballot. There are also presidential candidates on the ballot for the Libertarian, Constitution and Green parties. If you are planning to vote in the state presidential primary, precincts will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Grundy County voting precincts are the Edinburg Baptist Church (Madison/Taylor townships), Galt Baptist Church (Liberty/Myers), Laredo Community Building (Wilson/Marion), Spickard Christian Church (Franklin/Washington), the Ausberger building (Harrison/Lincoln), the Grundy County Courthouse (First Ward/Jefferson Township), Frey Administrative Building on the NCMC campus (Second Ward), First Christian Church (Third Ward) and the First Baptist Church (Fourth Ward/Jackson Township).
What Others Are Saying... Fuel Tax Increase
Missouri lawmakers are considering a small fuel tax increase that would raise enough money to at least put a Band-Aid on our state's crumbling roads and bridges.
Guest Editorials We hope the Legislature takes the bold leadership move to act on the proposal, sponsored by Sen. Doug Libla, R-Poplar Bluff. We say "bold leadership" for two reasons: It's an election year. Many elected officials, from the governor down to House members, will be appealing to voters for another term. For Republicans, which control both chambers of the Legislature as well as the governor and lieutenant governor's offices, that means being able to campaign on platforms of fiscal conservativeness and low taxes. We generally support that line of thought. But infrastructure such as roads and bridges are basic, essential government provisions. And our roads and

bridges are in poor shape. Voters have already shot down proposals for a sales tax hike and then a gas tax hike to help maintain our roads/bridges. Would enacting a 2-cent fuel tax go against the will of voters? That's a fair question. We would argue that those failed proposals would have raised taxes considerably more. The last proposal, in 2018, would have raised the fuel tax by 10 cents, phased in over four years. This proposal would raise some $130 million a year. In reality, much more is needed. But even a temporary fix at this point would help. Missouri has the seventh-largest state highway system in the nation and the sixth most bridges on that system, but its gas tax is the fourth lowest in the nation. We pay 17 cents per gallon, the same as we paid more than 20 years ago. In 2018, Gov. Mike Parson and Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe provided leadership on the issue, supporting the gas tax ballot issue. We hope they again take the lead, actively encouraging lawmakers to support this important issue. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

• BALANCE YOUR PLATE • By Cindy Eivins, Trenton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian
Following the guidelines of My Plate is a healthy and easy way to reach weight-loss goals. Filling up on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and small amounts of healthy fats is not just good for your waistline, it’s also good for your health. It involves combining small amounts of higher-calorie foods, with large amounts of lower-calorie foods. Use a smaller plate at meals to help control the amount of food and calories you eat. Make sure each meal has a good balance of healthy fats, lean protein and complex carbs. Always fill half of the plate with fruits or vegetables. Non-starchy vegetables are lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to starchy vegetables and fruit. Fill 25% of the plate with protein (meats) and the other 25% with whole grains or starchy veggies. Carbohydrates with a high-fiber content can help give you a feeling of fullness and also provide key nutrients. This will help you lose weight when you see more food on your plate, but it is healthier food instead of junk food. You will feel more satisfied and avoid snacking.

The Laredo Lions Club met at the Laredo Community Center on Monday, Jan. 27. After the pledge to the American flag, Dan Wilford opened the meeting with prayer. Carol Wilford led the group in singing “Auld Lang Syne.� Members present included Bonna Dittberner, Dan and Carol Wilford, Margaret Chapman, Lewis Griffin, Martha Owen, Dean Smalling and Billy Taul. Guests were Barbara Bowe of Chillicothe and Barb Harbo of Eagan, MN. After the carry-in meal, Barbara Bowe showed the group a framed pencil drawing that she had brought. The drawing had been found in a thrift shop in Chillicothe. The artist’s name and date were included on the back of the drawing and Mrs. Bowe realized she knew the artist, Joel Chrisman, when he lived in Laredo many years ago. The

It’s The Season For Livestock Lice Have you noticed your cattle looking a little scruffy lately? According to Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension, the cattle may have rubbed off some hair and have lost a bright sheen to their hair coat. Producers may have even noticed the cattle rubbing on posts, trees and wire fences.
“Chances are your cattle are fighting lice. Lice didn’t just appear out of nowhere,� said Cole. Lice eggs require from three to six weeks to become adults. That means they have been growing and causing some discomfort to your cattle for several weeks. Several species of lice exist and most are bloodsuckers.

There is a biting louse that feeds on skin cells that can be annoying to cattle. There are several methods to control lice, such as sprays or dips, pour-ons, injectables, self-treatments, like back rubbers and dust bags. To best identify if lice are present on your cattle, Cole recommends close examination in a head chute. For more information, contact any of the MU Extension livestock field specialists in southwest Missouri: Eldon Cole in Lawrence County, (417) 466-3102; Andy McCorkill in Dallas County at (417) 345-7551; Elizabeth Picking in Howell County at (417) 256-2391 or Dr. Patrick Davis in Cedar County at (417) 276-3313. •WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease!

Internet. My ID was stolen and someone had a grand night in New York at my expense. I donate, but to local folks I know and trust with my check. The university deals with constant attack by hackers trying mischief. All of us are. I now recognize phishing tries that want me to do a survey and give personal financial information., If we could harness their creative energy. I bet there’s plenty of teaching defense along that line at the MU Extension “Computers on the Farm� meeting, Feb 14-15 at Osage Beach. There farmers share apps they created or modified to do farm financial chores. Plus, they push Precision Farming. New farm equipment has more computer power than any device I use to corral words. This year is a good time to give attention to “Thank a Farmer� month. Without them, we don’t eat. Growing up on a farm, I know there are no Snow Day vacations. Work, especially with livestock, goes on every day. Promoting winter forage stockpiling and grazing, I’m amazed to see cows nosing their way through thick snow to find fresh fescue grass in winter. But, cows can’t do that in ice covered pastures.
I wonder about this weather impact on fall-calving beef herds. That’s popular in south Missouri. With a decade of warming winters, that practice moved north. Tending calves this winter won’t be easy. Dry cold is one thing. Wet cold with blustery winds is another. Wind creeps through winter garb. At a heifer meeting here, a farmer said he’d moved his cows to an interior hill pasture before he could come to Columbia. Flash floods were in the forecast and he knew the water gaps in his fences at creeks would wash out. Cows escape through broken gaps. I laughed to learn that President Trump, not a farm boy, didn’t know about water gaps. Seems his billion-dollar wall breaks at creek crossings. Cows may not get out, but trespassers may sneak in. Farm boy education would help, even a president who knows everything. A news tweet about the pilot of a helicopter crash in California reminded me of my long ago encounter with Army helicopters with twin rotors. What a nifty way to travel. On my first flight, as a naive 2nd lieutenant, the pilot flew us back to our starting point--and turned off the engines. We dropped straight down a thousand feet. This farm boy about passed out. Just before we crashed, the pilot switched rotor blades to horizontal. We braked softly to a gentle landing. I created a fun for pilots; hut, lost my sense of humor.

WINTER WEARS ON WITH HINTS OF SPRING; THANK FARMERS AT WORK Winter wears on, testing our souls. Plentiful ice with coating of rain tests our fragile bones and old muscles. I took my test, early. My slick shoes were no match for wet ice. My sore hip reminds me to stay inside/ No skating. I’ve seen many winters worse than this. But, I don’t recall so many days of temperatures lingering at 31F. Then, a couple of days of record highs of 72F. A tease of spring, before cold returns. I spend days cooped up at home. As the university closes for snow more than ever. I work at home writing. It’s done anywhere I can carry a laptop computer. But, that’s not fun, like interviewing scientists or farmers. As a, result, I spend time reading endless tweets and e-mails on my cellphone. What a bunch of junk. But, I learn about our politics. And see endless appeals for donations. I learned, long ago, to not use my credit card over the

Think of the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the following few words: careers in agriculture. I asked a sample of my peers and here are a few of the responses I received:
Watch for our annual Filter Sale!! 1818 E. Ninth St. Trenton, MO 359-5687
• Farmer • Animal Scientist • Crop Inspector As you can see, jobs that are associated directly to a farm are among the most popular answers. If I were asked that same question prior to taking any agriculture education classes in high school, I probably would have had a similar response; however, if I were asked that question now, I could respond with careers such as food scientists, biochemists, and even surgeons. Although those careers might not directly relate to farming, those careers are still associated with the agriculture industry. I will explain how all of those uncommon careers tie into agriculture:
WEINSUREMISSOURI.COM 20483 MO Hwy. 6 Gallatin, MO 660-663-2183 100 US 36 Hwy. Chillicothe, MO 660-240-8232
•Food scientists - Food scientists are responsible for conjuring up some of our favorite recipes and developing new flavors of products such as ice cream. How might this tie into agriculture? Those same food scientists must use the crops that are produced on farms every day: wheat, corn, cows’ milk, and so on. Without the farms’ ability to produce those crops, we could not enjoy our favorite foods.
•Biochemists - Biochemists use crops and other substances to make the pharmaceuticals that save lives every day. For example, the Periwinkle Plant and the Pacific Yew Tree, along with a few others, are some of the main components in chemotherapy drugs. Biochemists are also using pig and cow insulin to provide diabetics with the proper insulin needed to carry on with their daily lives. Lifeflower ampules are used to help treat stroke victims to save them from paralysis. As it can be seen, plants and animals are used in many of the essential medications in local pharmacies and hospitals. •Surgeons - We have all heard of human organ donation, but have you ever heard of animal organs being donated to humans? In reality the use of animal organs has saved the lives of many humans. For example, doctors have used pig valves to replace defective valves for those whose hearts are not functioning properly. Clearly, this aspect of agriculture in medicine has saved many lives.

In conclusion, agriculture is the foundation for the world we live in today. Although we may not realize it, the agriculture industry is inclusive of many jobs that aren’t directly on the family farm, such as careers in the medical and food production industries. Instead of agriculture being all about cows, sows, and plows, it also includes the salad you ate for lunch the other day, the new medication that is helping to fight off a deadly disease, and the cow heart valve that is keeping your next door neighbors heart pumping. In fact, did you know that only 11% of American careers in agriculture are on farms? This means that the other 89% of careers in the agriculture industry are in the supply chain. So, the next time you hear the words ‘careers in agriculture’, what will be the first thing that comes to your mind?

I have since learned that there is a strong asssociation between cancer andd blood clots, and I felt compeelled to write here and share soome information. Both chemotheerapy and cancer increase the rrisk of blood clots. The CDC reports that blood clots are thee second-leading cause of deathh among people with cancer. A According to the National Bloood Clot Alliance, blood clots afffect 900,000 people eevery year in the U.S., and 1 inn 5 blood clots are related to canccer and cancer treatment.

cer is, the hiigher the risk of blood clots. O Other risk factors include personal or family history of blood clots, hospitalization, bone fractures, heart disease, diaabetes, obesity, smoking and ttraveling for more than four houurs.

Cruises ccatch bug the SARS outbreak started, but it’s growing fast and equals Alaska’s popular cruise sector, according to an industry trade group. The new virus has already killed more people than SARS. Colleen McDaniel, editor of Cruise Critic, a site that reviews cruises, says the ships have well-staffed medical centers that can handle most illnesses and emergencies. Still, the idea of sharing a confined space with a few thousand other cruisers during an outbreak is bound to scare away customers. When cruise lines return to calmer wate ers depends on how quickly health authorities contain and eradica ate the virus. A drop in new case es has boosted cruise stock ks this week.

to cough: He says he wants to spread his germs around. Recently, we went out to eat with him, and he coughed into his hands and not into his elbow. He kept coughing throughout the meal. No one wants his sickness. I find it diffficult to be around him. My brother-in-law is also a bully, and I believe this is part of his love of bullying -spreading illness to others. Please tell people to stay home when they are sick, cough into their elbows and see a pulmonary specialist if their cough lasts more than a month. -- Sick of the Chronic Cougher Dearr Sick: Your brother-inlaw is sick in more ways than one. Shame on him. I should hope this is common sense by now, but in case anyone needs to hear it: Covering one's mouth when coughing or sneezing isn't just polite; it's a simple and efffective way to reduce the spread of germs. It is best to keep tissues handy so that you can cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and promptly dispose of the used tissue. Then thoroughly wash your hands with soap and clean running water. If clean running water is unavailable, the CDC recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
