Wastewater Plant Work Gets OK To Move Ahead Improvements to the city’s wastewater treatment plant were among topics addressed by the Trenton City Council utility and administrative committees at meetings held this week. Utility Committee The Trenton City Council next Monday night will consider an ordinance to move ahead with Phase II of improvements to the wastewater treatment plant following action taken on Tuesday night by the Utility Committee. The committee voted to ask the council to enter into an agreement with Burns and McDonnell for a build-design project that would involve several projects to meet Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulations regarding elimination of sewage bypassing the wastewater treatment plant during wet weather events as well as implementation of disinfection of the discharge into Muddy Creek at the wastewater plant. The city has a DNR-mandated deadline of July 1, 2019 to complete the project. The Phase II work would include construction of an effluent disinfection building and contact basin as well as a pump station that would allow excess lagoon water to be pumped to the contact basin and dispersed once it has been
ʻWITHIN 90 DAYSʼ
disinfected. In addition, repairs would also be made to an existing sludge holding basin. The cost for this portion of the project is to not exceed $4.9 million. City Administrator Ron Urton said that Phase I of the project had Burns and McDonnell design up to 60 percent of the planned improvement work at a cost of $398,000. Burns and McDonnell then worked with contractors to get bids and determine what the price for the work would be. That price was the $4.9 million cost presented to the committee. Urton said the ordinance to be presented to the council would authorize the mayor to sign an agreement with Burns and McDonnell to move forward with the project. Funding for the project is to be paid for with existing funds as well as just over $2.4 million in money the city is borrowing over a 20-year period. The committee also discussed the use of cooperative purchasing, which is already a part of the city’s purchasing policy but has not been used in some time. Cooperative purchasing, according to Urton, involves the city being able to reference the cost of certain items purchased by other governmental agencies or municipalities when attempting to buy that same item through the
same vendor. Urton said the city is looking at the purchase of a wheel loader for the street department and will be using “Sourcewell,” a nationwide company that tracks such purchases, to determine the best price and places where the wheel loader could be purchased. He said use of the cooperative purchasing allows the city to speed up the purchasing process when it comes to large ticket items as well as get the best cost for a specific need. It is hoped information regarding the wheel loader purchase will be ready for the council at Monday night’s meeting. Urton said the purchase is included in this year’s budget. Administrative Committee Who will actually handle future nuisance complaints consumed much of the discussion held on Monday night, June 18 by the administrative committee, which also included a meeting with representatives of the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association regarding building development. Councilman William Fisher has suggested that the council look at using money for two vacant police officer positions to hire an individual whose job See City, Page 9
Tom Witten Will Head Facility
BTC Bank Coming To Trenton BTC Bank plans to establish a branch location in Trenton and is bringing back a former Trenton resident as the new “Trenton Market President.” Tom Witten and his wife, Cheryl, will be moving back to the community and, according to BTC officials, Witten will soon begin establishing the bank’s 10th local branch in
Trenton. According to BTC Bank President and CEO Doug Fish, the bank is planning to locate in an existing facility within the next 90 days with a longterm goal of having its own facility here. “Our immediate goal is to find a location and open up quickly within the next 90

Commission Meeting Tuesday
High school students who take classes on campus, online or at outreach locations will pay a reduced tuition rate following action taken by the North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees during a Tuesday, June 19 meeting. The board approved an Early College program for eligible Missouri high school students who would be allowed to apply for admission without a fee and would be charged a reduced tuition rate. The students would pay all normal student fees with the exception of the student health fee. The action was recommended by Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre and sets the charge for in-district high school students taking classes on campus at $50 per credit hour, which includes $15 for tuition and $35 for fees. Out-of-district high school students taking classes on campus and all students taking classes online or at the various outreach locations will be charged $100 per credit hour, which includes $65 in tuition and $35 in fees. Prior to this action, high school students taking these classes paid full tuition and fees. Dr. Londre said he hopes this will be an incentive for local high school students, many of whom take dual credit courses which are taught at the high school by a qualified high school instructor, to take courses on campus or online. Whitney Trump, coordinator of academic support and outreach, said she has talked with parents who said the cost would be a factor in their student taking classes on campus or online. She said the college would follow the grade-level requirements that are in place for dual credit, with high school freshmen being required to meet minimum ACT requirements. Dr. Londre said the reduced tuition rate will be particularly helpful for students in certain programs, such as nursing, that have prerequisites that could be taken while the student is still in high school. Dr. Londre said the change will be made as soon as possible but likely the new tuition rate will not go into effect until the spring semester to give the IT Department time to make necessary changes. Trustees heard a report from Green Hills Head Start Director Dr. Bev Hooker, with the board giving authorization for Dr. Hooker to apply to the federal Head Start program to close the Hamilton Head Start site. Dr. Hooker said staffing issues and a low number of students prompted the decision and shared that the site had not been fully staffed for
The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session on Tuesday, with the morning portion of the meeting being held at the Coon Creek Bridge.

Philadelphia Also A Destination
by Vicki Ferguson Trenton Middle School students and parent chaperones recently returned from touring historic Philadelphia and our nation’s capitol in Washington D.C. Beginning in 2000, Donalyn Crowley and I have taken R-9 students, parents and grandparent chaperones including R-9 teachers, staff and a principal on this biannual trip. Traveling every two years allows middle school students one time to make the trip following their seventh or eighth grade year. Donalyn and I were both new social studies teachers in the middle school when a student travel brochure in Donalyn’s mailbox sparked the idea for the trip. Originally it was only a three day trip, but two social studies teachers realized after that first trip that three days was just not enough time for all the history they wanted to share with their students. Each time the trip evolved and new sights were added. Scheduling in advance has allowed students some amazing opportunities but perhaps the most reward-

USAAI SOFTBALL
Aruba Friendship Series
Derry Returning To Aruba, This Time As Coach In 2013, Trenton native Lindsey Derry was in the middle of her collegiate softball career. She had just completed her second season with North Central Missouri College and two years playing for Park University loomed on the horizon. In the summer between her two college softball stops, Derry traveled to Aruba with USA Athletics International competing with a team of high school and college all-stars in what was dubbed as the “Friendship Series.� Derry’s team got to play softball against the Aruba National team and tour the tiny 20-mile long island that boasts a population of over 100,000 people. “From the 2013 trip it was very eye-opening to realize how much softball has im-
pacted my life and taken me places I wouldn’t have ever thought I’d be,� Derry said of the original trip. “It seemed surreal to think I was playing softball against a national team on a little island just a few miles from South America. I have a lot of life experiences and friendships to be thankful for from this sport.� Eventually, Derry ran out of eligibility to play, but she never left the sport. She will return to Aruba this summer, this time, helping guide the USAAI AllStar team as a coach. Derry became an assistant coach at Park following her graduation and in the 2016 season, Derry was named the interim head coach. The interim tag was lifted late in the 2017 season, making Derry the
Lindsey Derry
head coach of the program at Park. The former Trenton Bulldog and NCMC Pirate will now get to experience the same trip she had as a player, doing so this time as a coach. “Being a coach is going to
be an exciting experience as well,� Derry said. “I know what the trip entails from the games to the tourist activities and to be able to give young players that same opportunity I was given is gratifying to think about.� On Derry’s squad will be a pair of former North Central players who are now wrapping up their college careers under Derry at Park. Jessica Stupar and Courtney Seymour are among the 12 players who will make up the team, whose members hail from Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and North Carolina. “The exciting part about this trip is that it’s my first experience coaching on an international level,� Derry said. “I think it is also going to be awe-
some considering I have past, current and future players that will be on the Park 2018-19 softball team joining this USA team for Aruba. I’m looking forward to the new friendships, the beautiful culture and some great softball.� The USAAI team will be in Aruba on June 25-July 2. The team will not only get to play several games but will also get opportunities to tour the island nation. Derry graduated from Trenton High School in 2013. She is the daughter of Paul and Michelle Derry of Trenton. She is also the granddaughter of Jack Derry of Trenton and the late Annie Derry and the late Chuck and Linda Patterson.

CONSERVATION CWD Testing
CWD Tests Mandatory In Grundy, Mercer Hunters in Grundy and Mercer counties who harvest a deer on the opening weekend of fall firearms season will be required to bring the animal to a Missouri Department of Conservation check station for Chronic Wasting Disease testing. All deer harvested on Nov. 10-11 will need to be tested for CWD. Grundy and Mercer join 31 other counties where testing will be mandatory on the opening weekend. Other local counties in the mandatory testing zone include Putnam, Sullivan and Linn. In Grundy County, hunters can take their harvested deer to the Rock Barn at the North Central Missouri Fairgrounds for testing. The testing site in Mercer will be at the Lake Paho Conservation Area. Putnam County’s check station will be at the Putnam County Fairgrounds in Unionville while Sullivan will have check stations at the North Central Missouri Electric Coop in Milan and the Winigan Community Center in Winigan. Hunters in Linn County can check their deer at the Linn County Fairgrounds in Brookfield or the Purdin Community Center in Purdin. CWD testing is only required during the opening weekend. Hunters will need to bring in at least the head and six inches of the neck for testing. Hunters are encouraged to telecheck their deer prior to testing. The testing only takes a couple of minutes as an incision is made into the deer’s throat to collect lymph nodes which are then sent to independent labs for testing. A card will be presented to each hunter after testing with information on how to receive results of the test for their deer should they wish to follow up after samples are processed.

Business Briefs... WMH Designation Renewed
Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton has recently been recertified for another four years by the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services as a Level II Stroke Center. As a Level III center, hospitals such as WMH are recognized by first responders as being equipped to treat time-critical stroke patients. The patients are treated according to the Time Critical Diagnostic protocols and, if needed, will then be transferred to a higher-level stroke center for definitive care. WMH received its initial Level III designation in 2014. WMH was also recently designated by the MDHSS as a TCD Center for STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients. As a Level IV center, the hospital stabilizes patients at the facility who have suffered serious heart attacks before transferring them to a facility for a higher level of care.

Hometown Boy by Duane Dailey, Professor Emeritus University of Missouri
EVEN A FRONT LAWN PROVIDES CITY DWELLERS NATURE LESSONS
A back-to-nature trek takes me no further than the front lawn. Wildlife abounds in urban Columbia. My Saturday stroll let me feel August-like heat and humidity. That wasnĘźt nature at best. What followed was spectacular. Four almost grown owls came, one by one, back to a neighborĘźs grove of trees across the street. We have two homes for owls in our neighborhood. I rarely see them, but hear them. From across the street come queries: WHO, Who, who? From a block beyond the backyard comes a counter
query: WHO, Who, who? The nest across the street became neighborhood entertainment this spring as nestlings peered from a crude nest high in a tree. Now, the youngsters are out and about. After that sighting, I looked down to find workings of moles. They make mountains out of black prairie dirt under the lawn. The mole homes rise eight inches or more from the lawn. Often homeowners trap or poison the unseen intruders. I hope these remain undisturbed. Their ancestors were here before the ancient town
of Smithton sprang up back about 1820. That town withered as people moved a mile or so east to be near what were then flowing springs at Flat Branch creek. The pioneers moved closer to water, thus was born Columbia. In my lawn, nature drew my present-day attention with many small dead twigs from an old maple tree. Twigs litter the lawn. Earlier this spring live twigs with leaves fell. Some insect pest laid their eggs and chewed off the tips of branches. I don't know that life cycle. But, it comes every year. Nature at work baffles homeowners. This dry twig fall must be from the heat of summer. Dead twigs detach and fall. I pick them up and snap them easily into one-inch chunks to throw back on the sod. They become mulch. Their nutrients should decompose and return to the soil
from which they came. Many homeowners feel compelled to bundle twigs for city garbage collectors to take to the landfill north of town. What a waste of nutrients and energy. I believe that autumn shedding of leaves should be composted and returned to soil from whence they came. Some city dwellers believe even their grass clippings should be sent to the landfill. How out of touch can we get? This land that was once the Smithton Prairie now gets clipped and trimmed to look like a golf course. Power mowers spewing global-warming gases roar round and round lawns, clipping them to look smooth as golf greens. Can no one see beauty in tall prairie grasses here? A drive through rural Boone County shows more large lawns where former pasture lands once held cow herds. City folks move to the country to make city lawns. I see that all across the
state. On the road to MU Thompson Farm pastures become closely mown estates. City folks moving to former farms want city lawns. I once asked a rural homeowner why he mowed so much. "I can't hear her nagging when I am on the mower,� he explained. Back to this town front lawn which is tended by a hired lawn-mowing and trimming couple. I ask that they raise the mower blade to leave taller grass leaves. But, the request remains unremembered on the next mowing. Close mowing stresses and weakens grass. That allows intruding white clover and weeds to flourish from the bared ground. Big green leaves convert carbon dioxide back into carbon and oxygen. Carbon becomes soil and we breathe oxygen.

Forage Shortages Have Farmers On The Hunt Dry Weather From Last Fall Affecting Growth; Some Chopping Trees To Feed Leaves Shortage of cattle forage forces some Ozark herd owners to chop trees to feed leaves. That method was used in big droughts of the 1930s and 1950s. Damage comes from more than an intense drought, said Craig Roberts, University of Missouri forage specialist in a weekly teleconference. Regional extension specialists update state staff on current problems. Roberts says forage shortages date from dry weather last fall. Pastures were short then and hay harvest low. When bales ran out, herd owners turned cows into pastures that had not
grown many leaves. Winter overgrazing grubbed pastures down, eating tillers for regrowth. Heat and lack of rain prevent pasture recovery. Many hayfields come up 75 percent below normal, Roberts said. The problems grow. Grass that grew this spring is long on seed stalks and short on leaves. When baled for hay, that grass can be low-energy fiber, not nutrition. It may also be toxic. “This is a year for ammoniation,� Roberts said. That requires covering stacks of low-quality hay bales with plastic. Then anhydrous ammonia is leaked into the stack.
! "
Over time the gaseous nitrogen normally used for fertilizer breaks down cell-wall fiber. This releases digestible nutrients and lowers toxins in fescue hay. The gas process used in recent droughts improved cattle feed. Some farmers asked about cutting small shrubs and baling them for forage. “This definitely needs ammoniation. Also, beware of poisonous plants,� Roberts told listeners. The night before the teleconference, rains fell across most of the state. But rain was spotty. Some areas received 2 inches. Others got a trace, or less. Spotty thunderstorms are a result of a high-pressure dome stalled over the state, said Pat Guinan, MU Extension climatologist. Weather disturbances travel along the dome edge, giving more rainfall chances. Inside the dome, isolated highenergy thunderheads drop intense rains. Long-range forecast calls
for the dome to move eastward, Guinan said. That could bring more rains as high pressure moves out. Last weekend big rains fell over Iowa into Illinois. “Those rains were anticipated to hit more of Missouri,� Guinan said. “They went north.� Strong storms brought cropdestroying hail to some areas. Valerie Tate, MU agronomist at Linneus, said a storm in Linn County was about a quarter-mile wide and 5 miles long. Corn and soybean crops were shattered. “Even hail-damaged crops are being considered for balage,� Roberts said. “However, those crops should be checked for nitrate content. High nitrates can kill cattle.� Crop scouts see unusual developments of corn and soybean crops. Some soybean plants, only a few inches tall, carry blooms already. Bill Wiebold, MU soybean specialist, has seen plants with only three trifoliate leaves in bloom. High heat slows intern-

by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist HOSTAS
In my last column, I discussed gardening in shady areas, and mentioned what you must consider when choosing a plant that will tolerate low light. Our guide sheet that I mentioned has many good suggestions. If you have heavy shade, I have always liked hostas, for their ability to tolerate a wide variety of conditions. Hostas are well known for their beautiful foliage and some will even reward you with flowers as well. A few of these even

have a light fragrance. Their remarkable adaptation to shaded areas has made them increasingly popular in recent years. Although some varieties can take full sunlight, most will not thrive there, and their leaves often scorch, bleach or burn. They do well in light to medium shade, and most will even grow under heavy shade. They may not grow as fast in heavy shade, compared to light shade, and they may not flower in heavy shade, but they should grow.

ode growth. The plants won’t grow tall but they can set pods. Early blooms shut down use of several post-emergence herbicides. Herbicide labels tell stages of growth that stop use. Some growers may not realize soybean fields are blooming. A common comment among specialists has been, “We’ve never seen anything like this.� Some corn has shot up nearing reproductive stage in the hot weather. That’s weeks ahead of normal. Other corn and soybean seed planted in dry soil hasn’t germinated or emerged. One specialist reported that crusted soil stopped corn emergence. Ranges in crop development can be extreme. More problems may come. “Drought brings grasshoppers,� Roberts said. Farmers with unusual crop conditions seek help at their local MU Extension center. Specialists might take the questions to the weekly teleconference for help.
When considering a site to plant, keep in mind that hostas like well-drained soils. They will not last long in poorly drained soils. There are many types of hostas available. Some may have short leaves, only three inches long. Others may have leaves ranging up to 10 to 15 inches in length. Common heights may range from eight inches on up to 24 inches. A few specimen hostas even check in at 48 inches tall. Plant widths may range from six inches to several feet in some of those specimen varieties. Leaf patterns vary widely too. Some are solid green. Others may be variegated, with color patterns including blue-green, yellow-green, green with yellow margins, green with white margins, and yellow-green with dark green margins. Leaves may be broad and rounded or long and narrow. You may see examples of dull, glossy, heavily textured or ribbed leaves. The varieties that are known for fragrance were developed from the species plantaginea. These plants produce large, white, lily-like flowers in late August or early September. Hostas are relatively hardy, and many will usually tolerate temperatures down to -10 degrees F. We do occasionally reach temperatures that low in northwest Missouri, so you may want to mulch them for extra protection. You may plant them in spring or fall, but fall plantings should be protected by mulch.

Cathy Rice For the special at the Shelburne Baptist Church on Sunday, June 17, Claudine Eckert Barner played a couple of songs on the accordion that her parents, Claude and Nadine Eckert, had purchased for her when she was a young girl. She told how her parents had taken cattle to sell at St. Joseph to purchase the accordion for her. Pastor Aaron Stark gave the sermon and spoke from Revelations 3:7-13. Recently, a touch of excitement/drama occurred at our house. Apparently I am not very electrically savvy. In the original electric box in the cabinet in the kitchen, a tube breaker played out due to overuse. Thinking I knew how to change out a simple tube fuse, I proceeded to stand on the
ladder in the kitchen and empty the cabinet so I could reach the box. I pulled the wrong thingy bobby and the other one began to smoke so as I'm reaching in the thingy bobby blew up, beginning that electrical burning sound and flames shot up the wall. I was able to call for help, then found the power breaker on the pole outside and pulled it, which stopped the fire. A huge thank you to cousin, Dale Leeper; Heidi Rice and her father, Jim Paulson; and our dear friend and electrician Lou Bankson, all of who came to my aid. They got Karen moved to safety, made sure there was no fire in the walls, fixed the electrical box, put a new fire extinguisher in the kitchen and calmed me down.

Dear Annie: The artificial flowers on my grandparents' graves have gone missing three out of the past four times my mother and I have put them out. We put new flowers on the graves several times a year -seasonal flowers in the spring, summer and fall, Christmas flowers, etc. It is disheartening to drive to the cemetery a few weeks later and discover that the flowers and vase have gone missing. Once, my mother had used an etched crystal vase. I never knew my grandfather, but my grandmother was special to me, and both her parents were very special to my mother, of course. We are the only family members who honor my grandparents with "fresh" artificial flowers anymore, but it is important to us. Could you please offer a plea to people to be respectful and leave flowers in the cemetery alone? They are nice-looking flowers; we do not allow them to become shabby and faded. If we check on the flowers and they no longer look nice, we remove them and then go buy replacements. There is a trash barrel at the cemetery for just such disposal. -- Jan-
ice in Texas Dear Janice: I would contact the cemetery office to ask about its policy on artificial flowers. Sometimes caretakers remove artificial flowers when the wind begins blowing the plastic pieces apart. It's also worth making the cemetery office aware of the fact that your flowers and vases have gone missing in case it's the work of not a caretaker but a thief. Here's hoping that's not the case, because how sad would that be? Regardless, I want to commend you for honoring your grandparents. Your frustration at the flowers' disappearance is understandable, and I hope you're able to get to the bottom of that. But what truly matters isn't what happens to the flowers. It's that you bring them in the first place. What a beautiful thing, honoring your grandparents in that way throughout the year. I'm sure they are smiling down. Dear Annie: I think you blew it with your answer to "Digital Age Discrimination." I am a senior and struggle with the computer. Best thing that ever happened was when my
2.30 3.00 3.30

smartphone got run over by a car. I was simply too dumb for that aggravating device and went back to an old flip phone. I take it you did not check with any major grocery chains regarding the problem for seniors with digital coupons. When my computer was down and there were some items I wanted that had digital coupons, I went to the Kroger manager and asked whether he could help. He said I could just tell the cashier to put in the code to get the digital coupon discount. I no longer have to hassle with the annoying and aggravating problem. I hope you publish my letter to inform your readers, young or old, of how to get around this issue. And if other chains are not doing this, then their customers should be complaining to management to do likewise or taking their business to a chain that does. -- EDH in Roanoke, Va. Dear EDH: A simple, human solution to a technical problem. Thanks for writing. I think your letter will help many. "Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie" is out now!

Retired Trenton R-9 Band instructor Buddy Hannaford will be a guest conductor for the Fourth Army Band concert band when it performs in Branson later this month. The concert will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26 on the campus of the College of the Ozarks. The band is originally out of San Antonio, TX and its mem-
bers were military personnel who served at Ft. Sam Houston from 1950 to 1970. The group included a marching band, a concert band, a jazz band and a string orchestra. There were 58 musicians during this time and they traveled extensively throughout Texas and to New Orleans. They also recorded a weekly radio show, which was broadcast over radio stations in five southwest states. The band now meets for reunions, of which this year’s concert is a part. Former Marshall Director of Bands Howard Bell organizes the reunions. Bell was director of bands when Hannaford started his music career on the French horn. While Hannaford conducts the concert band, Bell will be performing.

ing was being able to watch students from our town lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This year that solemn ceremony was streamed live for parents to watch and that video has been viewed many times since. Other highlights include watching the honor procession carrying President Reagan’s coffin to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda following his death in 2004, placing carnations at the Vietnam Memorial Wall, seeing the Liberty Bell and sitting in Ben Franklin’s pew at Old Christ Church in Philadelphia, meeting Honor Flight veterans from WWII and the Korean War in KCI airport in 2012, visiting the National Holocaust Museum, visiting George Washington’s home Mount Vernon, touring the White House and the National Archives, sitting in the Senate galley while Congress was in session and, of course, shopping at the Pentagon City Mall. We’ve had a VIP tour of Congress given by Congressman Sam Graves and have had the privilege of meeting thenSpeaker of the House Dennis Hastert. The 2014 trip was obviously Donalyn’s favorite, traveling with her daughter, Kendall and her classmates. I’ve enjoyed accompanying three of my grandchildren on the trip. After 20 years of planning and executing the biannual Trenton Middle School Washington D.C. trip, this, the 10th trip, was to be the last one for retired teachers Donalyn Crowley (2013) and myself (2011). Sadly after a brief, but hard-fought battle with cancer, Donalyn passed away this past April. Over the past two years she had helped book appointments for this trip, met with parents and students and had looked forward to taking this trip. When it became apparent that she was not going to make
this trip, she insisted that we finalize and carry out the plans. She wanted this trip to be another success. Our community was shocked and saddened by her passing. But plans for the trip went on. Donalyn insisted I find someone to take her place. THS instructor Amy Currie offered to help finalize trip plans and travel with us on the trip. Her enthusiasm and hard work was invaluable. Students and parents purchased trip t-shirts to honor Donalyn. Everyone wanted to help make this trip a celebration of her years of dedication to the trip. We weren’t surprised when we received numerous comments while wearing our commemorative shirts. When we explained that the D.C. stood for Donalyn Crowley, our beloved friend and trip organizer who had recently passed away, people said they loved our shirts even more. Students who travel on this trip make memories that will last a lifetime and ensuring that this trip continues has always been our heartfelt desire. Plans are under way for the next trip in 2020. I’m excited to announce that Amy and Josh Currie, both R-9 instructors, are going to pick up the responsibility for continuing the Washington D.C. trip. Both Donalyn and I have been honored to have had the trust of our school and community and have felt so gratified to see so many young people gain an appreciation of our nation, its government and our Founding Fathers that the history books alone can’t teach. The success of the Washington D.C. trip wouldn’t have been possible without the support from our community and local businesses. For two friends, colleagues and traveling partners, I feel sure I can speak for Donalyn as well as myself in saying to all of you who supported us or traveled with us throughout the years, “Thank you for all the memories.�

it would be to handle nuisance situations currently being addressed by the police department. Fisher, who said he doesn’t feel it should be the responsibility of the police department “to measure grass,� said this would be a short-term fix until the council, during its budget process next year, could address handling the situation on a long-term basis. He added the individual hired for this position could also be trained for code enforcement duties and be ready to step in for current Code Enforcement Officer Donnie Vandevender when he retires in a few years. For the past several years, the police department has been responsible for handling nuisance calls, such as tall grass, disabled vehicles, trash in yards, etc. With the department having trouble filling open positions (there are currently two, with three possible once Police Chief Tommy Wright leaves in July), it was noted officers have less time to address nuisance situations. City Administrator Ron Urton said that many communities around the size of Trenton have both a nuisance and a code enforcement officer. To have a nuisance officer, Urton estimated the position would cost the city around $30,000, which would include benefits. Both Fisher and Chief Wright indicated it was unlikely that the police department would be able to fill the vacant positions any time soon, thus freeing up money for the nuisance position. However, two council members voiced their concerns about funding the position in the long-term. Councilman Travis Elbert said he felt that having police officers handle nuisance calls “was not an efficient use of their time,� but as finance committee chairman was concerned about future costs with the new position. He said that city funds “are tight� and that he would want to make sure money is available before adding employees. Jen Hottes, who favored the suggestion, also questioned how the nuisance officer would be paid for should the vacant police positions be filled. It was decided to ask the finance committee to take a look at the situation and make a recommendation as to where money might be available to fund the position. Committee members also discussed downtown building
development with North Central Missouri Development Alliance Director Micah Landes, TDIA President Dave Bain and TDIA Secretary Cathie Smith. Mrs. Landes noted that there are already some building improvements being done and the TDIA is encouraging more development by property owners to create a vibrant downtown area. “There is a lot of developing going on right now,� she said. “We want to keep encouraging development of the downtown area and the city is already way ahead of the game with its historic preservation ordinance.� Noting that the city already has the ordinance in place, along with a historic preservation commission, Mrs. Landes said application could be made for “certified local government status,� which would make federal funding available to assist building owners with their improvements. TDIA already makes loans available, however, these funds would allow for work in such areas as surveys, energy efficiency HVAC, windows, architectural assessments, disaster planning and guidance in remodeling. Mrs. Smith said the TDIA has a revolving loan fund that has made several loans in the past for business improvements and has around nine loans out at the present time. The area in which the money has been focused is a corridor along Main Street, from Crowder Road to the west city limits, as well as a block on either side of the corridor. This was the area originally established as part of the city’s DREAM initiative, which resulted in the TDIA being able to sell tax credits to set up the revolving loan fund. The historic preservation commission is made up of seven members as well as a representative from the city council and a representative from the city’s planning and zoning commission. There are currently six regular members and one vacancy. Mrs. Landes noted that among the commission’s duties would be determining whether or not building owners were meeting criteria regarding improvements to the outside of structures, including facades, and making sure that any new construction “fit in� with the existing structures within the area. It was decided efforts would be made to set up a meeting of the historic preservation commission to help continue improvements in the downtown area. Mrs. Landes and TDIA representatives will be invited to the meeting.

a full school year for the last eight years. Management staff has often been called in to substitute in the classroom, taking them away from their regular duties. In addition, the average daily attendance for students at the Hamilton site was 52 percent of funded slots in the 2017-2018 school year, which she compared to 92 percent at the Brookfield “Aâ€? Center, which is similar in size and demographics. She said the site has not been able to provide a consistent, daily routine for the students, which is vital to its mission. Dr. Hooker told trustees how the student slots would be redistributed throughout the Green Hills region. She also gave an update on building projects that are to begin soon and said the program has received a notice of award authorizing the balance of federal funds for FY18 in the amount of $1,100,940, bringing the FY18 total to $2,155,153. NCMC is expected to receive $117,782 as the fiscal agent. Board members heard administrative reports from NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver on his activities over the past month, as well as from Dr. Londre, who reported on summer programs and apprenticeship programs and from Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley, who discussed work on gainful employment disclosure and a compliance audit being conducted by the Department of Defense. She also discussed the meta majors concept, noting that NCMC is the first community college in Missouri that is working toward full implementation. The concept creates an “umbrellaâ€? major for students who might not be exactly sure what they want to major in, but have a broad idea, such as health care. The program places them in classes in their general area of interest. She also discussed the large number of transcript requests that are handled by the registrar’s office, with the majority of those being handled online. In other business, trustees: • approved the 2018-2019 budget, which shows total expenses of $12,951,918 and revenues of $12,705,819 for a total budgeted deficit of $246,099. (This information appeared in the Tuesday, June 19 Republican-Times). • approved the Program year 2018 budget for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Program, which shows total expected revenues and expenditures of $401,496, which is $45,832 less than last year in both income and expenses. The expenditures in-
clude salaries totaling $190,608, with no salary increases budgeted for 2018. It was noted that the revenue is at its lowest level in seven years. • approved a restructuring of the library/academic resource center, which has the ARC being managed by the library staff. Two salary adjustments related to this change were approved, with Jayne Meservey moving to the position of library assistant-tutoring center with special duties involving operations for the tutoring center. Shellee Castaneda will have the title of library assistant - testing center, with special duties involving operation of the testing center. The ARC Director position, from which Tina Totten recently retired, will not be filled, but a new Library Assistant I will be hired to help cover the library front desk. • approved a revised board policy manual, the annual renewal of the terms of the college’s bond agreement with UMB Bank, the renewal of the Ellucian software maintenance at a cost of $56,778 and the purchase of the Ellucian Mobile application from Ellucian at a cost of $18,406. The board also voted to purchase a network core switch from CDWG of Vernon Hills, IL, at a cost of $35,536.96. • formally adopted the 20182019 college catalog, which contained significant changes, including the development of under-age admission guidelines, designation of MOTR classes (guaranteed to transfer to Missouri public colleges) and updated requirements for the Associate in Arts degree, incorporating recent changes to the statewide 42-credit hour core curriculum. • accepted the resignation of Brandon Huffman as PC specialist 2, effective June 29. A transfer for Chris Flowers from the IT Help Desk position to PC Specialist was approved, with his salary set at $12.87 per hour. Nathan Vandevender, who has been serving in a parttime special projects position in the IT Department will move into the full time Help Desk position at a salary of $13.41. Those changes are effective July 1, with the salaries reflected in the new budget. • voted to hire Jenny Mosley of Galt to fill the full-time, non-exempt classified position of admissions processor at a salary rate of $11.95 per hour. • accepted the resignation of Jeni Moore as co-teacher at the Trenton Head Start Center, effective June 26, and approved the employment of Brooke Allnutt of Brookfield as the Brookfield “Aâ€? Center teacher. The board is scheduled to meet again at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 19, which is a change in the regular meeting date.
