The Easter Bunny was out in full force over the weekend, with multiple egg hunts held for area youngsters at parks and churches, as well as the inaugural Easter egg hunt for dogs that was held at Moberly Park. Saturday’s weather was perfect for the events, but rain and even a touch of snow on Sunday thwarted some outdoor plans for the actual holiday.

The event will run from 5 to 6 p.m. and will involve patrons stopping by the stadium to drop off donations in a participant’s backpack. All proceeds will be divided equally between Bright Futures Trenton and Backpack Buddies of Grundy County.

R-6 Hears Concerns From Patrons Newtown-Harris Board Takes Action On Personnel The Pleasant View R-6 and Newtown-Harris R-3 boards of education held meetings recently, with the R-6 board hearing from several concerned patrons and the NewtownHarris Board accepting two resignations.

Pleasant View R-6 Several patrons met with the Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education during a meeting held Tuesday, April 12, to discuss the existence of mold in a classroom and to ask the board to reconsider a personnel decision.

According to information provided

by Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the board agreed to allow each person to have a time limit of five minutes to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting. Megan Devorss, Emily Cox and Tiffany Haffner all spoke about their concern that there has been mold in the third/fourth/fifth-grade classroom as well as their support for the reconsideration of offering Kelli Urton a teaching contract for the 2022-23 school year. Jennifer Roberts also spoke to the board, but only in regard to the board reconsidering the offering of Mrs. Urton a contract for the 2022-23 school year.

The board heard a presentation from First Onsite Restoration on the mold concerns in the classrooms. It was reported that testing has shown the air quality in all the areas of concern are within the healthy range. A copy of the test was given to each

person in attendance. Air quality tests that were conducted by Brandon Spencer, a certified water restoration technician, also showed that the air quality in all of the classrooms was within a healthy range. The public was informed that they could reach out to Spencer at any time for questions concerning his testing.

Billy Wilson spoke about the air purifiers the school put in place last year using COVID funds. There are a total of 12 machines placed in various areas of the building that help kill bacteria and/or mold in the air.

A discussion was held on replacing the ceiling tiles in the kitchen this summer. A bid was received from Creative Ceilings, Inc. to install a new drop ceiling at a cost of $20,000 and board members voted to approve that bid.

Under new business, the oath of office was given to Danny Westcott and Laurie Frisbie, who were reelected in the April 5 election. Board officers were elected and include Westcott, president; Damien Little, vice president; and Jack Bethards, treasurer.

With the new board seated, they took up the issue of salaries, with the board voting to increase the base teacher salary by $1,000 to $32,500.

In addition, non-certified staff will see a 50-cent per hour increase with all staff members being eligible to move up a step in the pay scale. The vote was 6-0, with Jack Bethards abstaining.

The board approved a field trip request for students in sixth through eighth grades. The students will travel to Kansas City on Friday, April 29, where they will visit the Truman

Presidential Library and Museum, Arabia Steamboat Museum, the World War I Memorial and Museum and Kauffman Stadium, where they will visit the Royals Hall of Fame and stay for a baseball game and fireworks. The trip is expected to last from 7 a.m. until about midnight.

In other business, the board heard teacher reports from Connie Olmstead, art instructor, and Japheth Busick, physical education instructor. A discussion was held on health insurance bids, with no action taken, and MSBA policy updates were approved. Board members also approved an early-out at 12:30 p.m. on April 27 to allow staff members to attend a professional development assembly presented by Gerry Brooks in Milan.

Mrs. Steinhoff gave an update on COVID and said the extra funding for COVID testing is no longer available. Several future dates of importance were shared with the board, including track meets, Easter break, KEYS graduation (10 a.m. May 5) and eighth grade graduation, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 6.

Following a closed session, the board voted to approve the resignation of preschool paraprofessional Cassie Shoop and the transfer of fifth grade teacher Sara Rayl to preschool paraprofessional for the 2022-23 school year. The board also voted to set Mrs. Steinhoff’s salary at $72,000 for 2022-23 school year. Bethards left the meeting and the board voted to rehire all non-certified employees for the 2022-23 school year.

The board has scheduled its next [See Boards, Page 4]

Princeton Girls Best Maysville, Win Trenton Relays Trenton, Gallatin Get Placewinners At Relays As Well There weren’t going to be any record times set at the Trenton Relays on Thursday as high winds kept times down across the board. For the Princeton girls, though, the day was less about battling the wind and more about getting a measure of revenge over Grand River Conference rival Maysville.

The Wolverines topped Princeton by four points in Albany on April 4 to estab-

lish themselves as the frontrunner for the conference crown later in the season.

Thursday in Trenton, however, it was Princeton winning the team championship, netting 84 points to fend off Maysville’s runner-up total of 76.

It was the first team title of the season for the Tigers, who have consistently put themselves near the top of the standings at every meet they have participated in this season.

“We pumped up the Maysville matchup at this meet just to make the girls aware of who their biggest threat was to win the con-

ference,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said.

“The girls have been in the top two-to-three at each meet but we had not broken through and won yet. It’s great for building momentum moving forward.”

Princeton won the title despite not being able to cash in on points they surley would have gotten in the pole vault. Both of Princeton’s vaulters — Kinsley Stokley and Danielle Bears — are state medal contenders, but that event was cancelled due to the high winds.

Still, Princeton came away with the team title and three gold medals at the event. Lauren Krohn had a hand in two of those first-place finishes, winning the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:01.96, and teaming with Addy Henke, Faith Siemer and Grace Kelly to win the 4x200meter relay with a time of 1:54.74. Krohn is still just competing in three events.

She was runner-up in the 200-meter dash, taking second with a time of 27.5.

The Tigers’ other gold medal came in the field, where Megan Spencer won the javelin with a throw of 32.26 meters. She also

High School Baseball

Trenton Upended By Putnam County Bulldogs Can’t Knock Off Undefeated Team PUTNAM CO. 17 TRENTON 1 - 5 INN. It was always going to be a big ask for the Trenton High School baseball team to hang with the undefeated Putnam County Midgets when they visited Burleigh

Grimes Field on Thursday.

The fact that Trenton was able to stave off the run rule until the fifth inning was a small consolation, but Putnam County did leave town with a 17-1 victory.

The Midgets scored runs early and often, but Trenton did well to keep any one inning from getting out of control — until the fifth inning, that is. Trailing 7-0, Trenton allowed the vis-

itors to post a 10-run top of the fifth. The Bulldogs mounted one run in the bottom of the frame, but that was it as they fell by the 10-run rule after five.

Trenton got just one hit in the game, an RBI single

by Coleman Griffin that plated Brayden Wiggins for the team’s lone run.

On the hill, Wiggins took the loss, allowing 10 runs, nine earned, on nine hits and three walks while strik-

ing out seven in four and one-third innings. Sam Gibson followed, allowing seven runs, four earned on three hits and three walks without a strikeout on twothirds of an inning.

Trenton fell to 1-10 on the season with the loss.

The Bulldogs were back in action on Monday, traveling to Pattonsburg to face the Panthers. Trenton will host Linn County today (Tuesday) at 5 p.m.

Area Schools See Action In Trenton [Area, from Page 2] the Trenton girls included Emma Roberts, fourth in the shot put with a throw of 9.33 meters and fifth in the discus with a throw of 26.5 meters; Cooksey, fifth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:23.66; King, sixth in the triple jump with a mark of 9.09 meters and sixth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:10.44; and Soriano, sixth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 56.62.

Trenton’s boys finished the meet with 14 points, placing 10th in the boys standings.

The 4x400-meter relay team of Brayden Hughs, Blaine Dunkin, Cameron Christy and Levi Johnson was third with a time of 3:54.25 and the 4x100-meter relay team of Hughs, Christy, Johnson and Gabe Stark was third as well, finishing with a time of 48.59.

Other placewinners for the Trenton boys included Dylan Spencer, sixth in the shot put with a throw of 11.25

meters; and the 4x800-meter relay team of Gaven Kelsall, Nathan Tran, Robert Muselman and Andrew Huffstutter, sixth with a time of 11:22.46.

Trenton was set to run at the Jim King Relays in Princeton on Monday and will be at the Gary Ewing Invitational on Friday.

GALLATIN Gallatin’s girls collected 24 points, placing them ninth out of 16 schools.

AnnaBelle Ball led Gallatin,. placing second in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 51.27 and running the opening leg of the 4x800-meter relay.

She combined with Ashley Feiden, Elle Copple and Alex Endicott to place second in that event with a time of 10:49.09.

Ball added a sixth-place finish in the high jump with a mark of 1.42 meters while Feiden was third in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:35.21 and Endicott placed sixth in the 800meter run with a time of 2:44.74.

The Gallatin boys got eight points,

all from throwers. Colt Baker was fourth in the discus with a throw of 32.28 and Jaden Wilson was fourth in the javelin with a throw of 38.56.

Gallatin will be back on the track today (Tuesday) traveling to Grant City for the Worth County Relays.

GRUNDY COUNTY Cole Peterson was second in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 19.46 and third in the high jump with a mark of 1.78 meters.

GILMAN CITY Ava Langfitt tied for third in the high jump with a mark of 1.42 meters and fifth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 13:37.87; and Laina Ward was sixth in the javelin with a throw of 24.26 meters.

MERCER Tori Meinecke was second in the high jump with a mark of 1.47 meters and the 4x800-meter relay team of Meinecke, Maddi Fisher, Rainey Michael and Gracie Rogers was fifth with a time of 12:26.21.

Gilman City Drops Game To T-C The Tri-County High School baseball team won its third-straight game on Thursday, sending Gilman City to its fourth loss in its last five games in the process.

The Mustangs rode a dominating performance from starting pitcher Peyton Baker, picking up a 122 win over the Hawks in six innings in Gilman City.

Baker threw a six-frame complete game allowing a single run on just one hit and two walks while striking out 14 of the 23 batters he faced in the game.

While Baker kept the Hawks off balance at the plate, Justin Chadwick had a big night offensively, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and two RBIs. Montee Hughes homered as well, scoring three times and driving in two. Grayson Allen added a pair of hits, one a double, and scored twice. Baker and Garrett Skinner each

had two hits in the win with Skinner driving in three and Baker collecting two RBIs of his own.

For Gilman City, Kyler Preston had a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning for the Hawks only hit and lone tally.

Preston also took the loss on the hill, allowing five runs, none of which were earned as Gilman committed a trio of costly errors in the field. Preston yielded three hits and three walks while striking out three before giving way to Kaden Locker in the third.

Locker fired the final four innings, allowing seven runs, six earned, on eight hits and two walks while striking out six.

With the win, TriCounty moved to 5-2 overall on the season. The Mustangs will look for another win tonight (Tuesday) as they travel to Pattonsburg for action against

the Panthers. That game is scheduled for a 5 o’clock first pitch.

Gilman City, now owners of a 3-4 mark, will

travel to Plattsburg tonight, taking on the Tigers.

That game will also begin at 5 o’clock.

Changing of the guard at the R-T Newspapers bids farewell to Seth

Jamey Honeycutt Publisher Occasionally you are fortunate to know someone that takes their craft seriously and gives it 100%.

Seth Herrold is one of those people.

For 15 years he has patrolled the sidelines and chronicalled the accomplishments of young people in this county. The seniors he covers this year were three when he began his post as sports writer in 2007.

While we hate to lose him, we definitely understand his desire to spend more time with his family and join the family farm.

Currently he is helping me to transition into the interim sports writer for your Republican-Times and may cover a couple of events before we completely turn him loose.

Please excuse the drop in quality and quantity as the veteran gives way to the novice.

While we will never find another Seth, there is someone out there who could do a masterful job taking photos and writing recaps of events and posting results.

We just haven't found that person yet so you get me

for a while.

If spending your afternoons and evenings on a court or field taking pictures sounds like a good time, call us. If making stars out of local youth strikes you as rewarding, give us a shout.

Whether you are 17 or 71, we need someone that loves the community and wants to highlight the athletic achievement of our local young people.

We already have several amazing contributors that assist us but we need someone to step up and manage the entire process weekly.

Basic photography and writing skills are required and we can train you on the rest of the job.

Until we find that person, sports will not be what it was under the Herrold regime. He would admit that he was probably a bit shaky at first but after a season or two, developed his style.

The good news is that summer is almost here and there is a bit of a lull until the new school year begins and football practice begins in earnest.

Until then we will rely on contributors more than ever and I will try to wrangle the information and photos into a coherent page or two each issue.

Feel free to correct me, criticize me or berate me but beware, you might get offered the job if you call me too many times to tell me how it should be done.

Just saying.

Thank you for your readership and support and Seth, thank you for your years of service to the Lenharts and Honeycutt Media.

Felony charges of forgery and passing bad checks are facing a Trenton woman who is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center on cash-only bond.

The Grundy County Sheriff’s Office reported that Amber N. Leeper, 43, was arrested Friday and is charged with a class D felony of forgery and a class E felony of passing bad checks. She is accused of making a $2,950.33 check look genuine when she knew it was not and for writing a counter check for $19.81 on a non-existent account. Ms. Leeper is being charged as a prior offender, which would make her eligible for an extended

term of punishment, if convicted.

Ms. Leeper is being held on $25,000 cash-only bond, with a court appearance scheduled for April 26.

A Maryville man is being held in the Grundy County Detention Center after being arrested for violating the terms of his probation.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, Shawn A. Wells, 40, was arrested after violating his probation terms on an original charge of felony nonsupport and first degree property damage. His bonds total $20,000 cash only and he is scheduled to appear in court May 12.

Boards

School Improvement Plan as well as the planning for the upcoming MAP and end-of-course exams. Dr. McKinnis told the board he attended the Missouri Association of School Administrators Conference last month and discussed some of what he had learned. He told the board that he attended a session on the “Paras to Professionals” program and will be introducing that program to interested paraprofessionals in the district. Dr. McKinnis said he is working on the Alternative Methods of Instruction application for the state and with Rob Koon to utilize the third round of the Emergency Connectivity Fund to purchase some updated Chromebooks and new laptops for the staff.

Dr. McKinnis is currently working through the National Archery in Schools Program to get some archery equipment for the district by utilizing a grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation that could hopefully be used in the district next year. He said he will begin meeting with the Salary and Insurance Committee this month to discuss potential raises for next year, with more information to be presented at the May meeting. He also noted that the state has begun data collection for the ESSER I and ESSER II funds, with that information to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Education.

In her report, Ms. Palmer reported on several district activities that have taken place in the past month and said a professional development activity will take place on Monday, April 25 with staff to focus on intruder training, vaping education for staff and the Teacher Growth plans.

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension TAR SPOT IN CORN

by Valerie Tate MU Specialist In Agronomy Tar spot is a fungal disease of corn which appeared in the United States in Illinois and Indiana in 2015. It was found in the northeast corner of Missouri in 2019, and is moving south and west each year. Currently, it is also confirmed in Iowa, Nebraska and Kentucky. Spots resembling tar, appear as raised, circular or elliptical spots (called stromata) on corn leaves, husks and stalks. A tan halo, also called a fish- eye lesion, may appear around the black spot. The lesion looks similar to insect frass (excrement) and other diseases like late season common or southern rust. When scratched with a fingernail, the spot does not come off of the leaf, whereas insect frass and rust pustules will. Tar spot stromata may appear on either side of the leaf, but they do not break through the leaf surface, so each individual lesion will only be on one side of the leaf.

Since tar spot in corn is a relatively new disease in the United States, little is known about how it spreads and effective control measures.

The disease is thought to be spread by wind-blown spores and leaf material, and rain splash. Corn appears to be the only host plant for this strain of tar spot. A different strain infects maple trees. The fungi will overwinter in corn residue and infect subsequent corn crops. In fields with a history of tar spot, lesions first appear in the bottom of the canopy. In fields where it has not been found, lesions often appear in the upper canopy initially.

The disease may be found in corn fields as early as July, but usually does not appear until August. Conditions which are favorable for disease development include temperatures between 60- and 70- degrees Fahrenheit and humidity above 75 percent, along with overnight leaf wetness of at least seven hours from irrigation, fog or heavy dew. Yield losses of 25 to 30 percent have been reported when tar spot was prevalent in corn fields in other areas of the United States. Tar spot also reduces silage quality.

Dr. Kaitlynn Bissonnette, former MU Extension State Plant Pathologist, suggested these strategies for potentially reducing the impact of tar spot.

• Fungicide applications at tasseling (VT) through brown silk (R2) growth stages are most likely to be effective. Earlier applications will not likely control tar spot.

• Irrigation management to avoid overnight leaf wetness of seven hours.

• Selecting resistant hybrids as information becomes available.

• Tillage to bury infected residue will speed the rate of residue decomposition, but will not completely eliminate the fungal spores.

• Crop rotation, but it is unknown how long a field must be out of corn production in order to reduce the fungal pathogen.

Thank A Farmer Week Coloring Contest Sponsored by Grundy County Farm Bureau

36 winners received a ribbon, a sucker and a sundae (donated by Sonic).

Greitens • From Front Page •

St. Louis, GOP voters engaged in genuine debate over whether they'd support Greitens in the August primary.

Bob Sullentrup, the club's 70-year-old president, dismissed Greitens as “damaged goods."

“He’s going to get creamed,” he said. “That baggage will follow him.”

Others, including several women, weren't so sure.

Sharon Kumnick of Weldon Springs said she'd vote for Greitens if he's the GOP nominee, noting “everybody's divorce, when they want more than is offered, is contentious."

Tina Maloney, a real estate investor from St. Charles, said Greitens should stay in the race.

“I don’t think just because you’re accused of something in this day and age that you should drop out,” Maloney said. “This is what they always do,” she said, citing the sexual assault allegations that emerged against Brett Ka-

vanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination hearing.

“It shows character to fight,” Maloney added.

That sentiment is reinforcing Greitens' refusal to leave the race, posing the latest test of the GOP's openness to men accused of physical or sexual abuse.

Greitens is convinced that by casting himself as a conservative fighter in the mold of former President Donald Trump, he can win the Republican nomination for Missouri's open U.S. Senate seat even though many of his political benefactors abandoned him and the party's establishment wishes he would just go away.

“I am going to win,” Greitens said in an email, calling his ex-wife's accusations “false” and a “political hit job.”

Indeed, Trump is perhaps the GOP's best example that candidates can power through abuse allegations. He won the 2016 campaign despite accusations of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen

women. In this year's midterms, Herschel Walker is poised to become the GOP's nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia despite making repeated threats on his ex-wife's life.

A Republican candidate for governor in Nebraska, Charles W. Herbster, was accused last week of groping several women.

Sean Parnell, a Republican who sought a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, is the rare example of a candidate who ended his campaign after allegations of abuse. He only did so after losing a court fight over custody of his three children.

The string of allegations concern some Republicans who worry that the party will rally behind candidates who will be unable to win the general election, when moderate voters often play a more decisive role. With the Senate evenly divided, the GOP can’t afford to lose what would otherwise be a safe seat.

That anxiety has deepened in Missouri after Trudy Busch Valentine, an heiress to the AnheuserBusch fortune whose family history is deeply intertwined with the state, entered the Senate race last month as a Democrat.

Many in the party have unified behind Valentine as the best chance to flip the seat.

In her personal capacity,

Pat Thomas, the state GOP's treasurer, has called on Greitens to leave the race. She said Valentine's entrance makes it even more urgent for someone other than Greitens to emerge as the nominee.

“I am certainly concerned that (she) could be a problem,” Thomas said.

Greitens, a former Navy SEAL and Rhodes Scholar, was considered an early frontrunner in the crowded Republican primary to replace retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt. But his campaign was rocked last month when his ex-wife, Sheena Greitens, filed a sworn affidavit as part of a child custody case that accused Eric Greitens of displaying such “unstable and coercive behavior” in 2018 that others took steps to limit his access to firearms.

In the affidavit, Sheena Greitens said he once knocked her down, took her wallet, keys and phone, and prevented her from leaving their home with their two children. She also accused Eric Greitens of striking their eldest son and pulling him around by his hair, among other claims.

Eric Greitens says that's all false. And he, his allies and his attorneys have used hardball tactics to try to discredit her.

In statements, interviews, a press conference and on social media, they’ve portrayed Sheena

Greitens as a liar “with a documented history of mental illness.” They've also accused her of working in conspiracy with a web of Republican figures to take down Eric Greitens' candidacy, among them Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., longtime Republican operative Karl Rove and Greitens' former 2016 campaign manager Austin Chambers, who has staunchly defended Sheena Greitens.

“Everyone smelled right away that this was a political hit job,” Eric Greitens said.

His attorneys have filed subpoena requests seeking phone records from Sheena Greitens, her sister, as well as Rove and Chambers, whose attorneys derided the effort an “abuse of judicial process” by a “floundering campaign.”

But Eric Greitens says that if the allegations against him were true, there is no way his ex-wife would have agreed two years ago to a court-approved parenting plan. An affidavit she filed at the time stated that it was in the “best interest” of the children for the parents to share joint custody, a discrepancy that he argues amounts to perjury in light of her most recent statements accusing him of abuse.

Sheena Greitens says she

told “multiple lawyers, therapists, and our mediator, in 2018 and afterward” about the abuse allegations. She also says she will provide evidence in court, including pictures and documentation of their communications. The parenting agreement came at the time she was moving to Texas for her job.

“I had to make concessions that I did not want to make," she said in a court filing.

Ultimately, she says that her ex-husband's current behavior feels like a repeat of 2018, when he resigned rather than go under oath to respond to allegations made by his former hairdresser, who testified that he blindfolded and restrained her in his basement, assaulted her and appeared to take a compromising photo to pressure her to keep quiet about an affair. He has acknowledged the affair, but has denied taking pictures.

“When his political future is at risk, he becomes erratic, unhinged, coercive and threatening,” Sheena Greitens stated in a recent court filing. “He accuses me of things that are untrue and generates conspiracy theories about me collaborating with his enemies when I have done no such thing.”

For now, the political fallout from the episode is uncertain.

Students Make Video To Prove Their High School Needs Repairs (AP) The short documentary video opens with a high school student explaining how human waste flows up from the ground and floods an area where he and his friends eat lunch.

In the eight-minute video with background music and captions of key quotes, students at Druid Hills High School use iPhones to document the classrooms, hallways and bathrooms that are crumbling around them.

In several scenes, plaster is falling off walls, and water is dripping around electrical outlets in one area.

So much water has leaked into the weight room that it oozes up from the floor when a student steps on it.

Another student demonstrates how one of the holes in a ceiling is so large that he can put his entire hand through it.

“You can tell someone about the conditions but when you visually see it, it’s a lot more impactful,” sophomore Harley Martz, one of the students who produced the video, told The Associated Press in an interview.

“Some of the things we pointed out in the video are very undeniable.”

“As you walk through the school now, you can smell the mold and it’s kind of really nasty,” Montrice Berry, a junior student at Druid Hills, says in the video. “So I tend to walk outside just so I can avoid the smell.”

Now, after the video came out, “every time I go walking the halls, people are like ‘I’m so proud of you for speaking up,'” Berry said in an interview.

The video, which has garnered more than 27,000 views so far since it was posted on YouTube this month, has prompted outrage among some parents in the suburban area just east of Atlanta who want repairs made. It was produced after the DeKalb County School Board in February removed Druid Hills from a list of schools in need of priority renovations.

The video won praise from other students.

“I walked into my first period and my fellow students were applauding,” Martz said.

It is the latest effort by students, parents and teachers across the nation to show people what conditions are like in their schools – and make their case that improvements are badly needed.

In Virginia, journalism students documented conditions at Maury High School and showed the video on the YouTube channel they use for school news broadcasts. Administrators ordered them to remove the video from the YouTube channel in 2019.

The same year in Louisiana, a

video by residents exposed problems at Block High School in Jonesville, about 90 miles (about 145 kilometers) northwest of Baton Rouge. In Duvall County, Florida, the county produced a similar video in 2019 to persuade voters to approve a sales tax measure that would pay for repairs.

In Georgia, the DeKalb County School Board will consider a resolution “to modernize Druid Hills High School,” according to the meeting agenda. The school has been in operation since the 1920s and is among the oldest in Georgia, according to historical accounts from the school district. Film crews used it as the backdrop for several scenes in the 2000 film “Remember the Titans.”

The agenda for Monday's meeting includes no specifics, so it's unclear what the board will discuss or ultimately do.

The video showed “many areas of concern throughout the building that we have long known about and have been working to address in meaningful ways,” Superintendent Cheryl Watson-Harris said in an April 13 letter to community members the district also shared with the media.

“As always, we are grateful for the advocacy of these students for themselves and future generations of learners," she wrote.

Some State Lawmakers Calling It Quits, Can’t Afford To Serve HARTFORD, Conn.

(AP) — When trying to decide whether to seek a fourth term in the Connecticut House of Representatives, Rep. Joe de la Cruz ran the question by his wife, whom he jokingly refers to as his lawyer and financial adviser.

While Tammy de la Cruz didn't want to discourage her 51-year-old husband from stepping away from the part-time job he has grown to love, she acknowledged it didn't make financial sense for him run again in November.

“The retirement planner in her didn’t even have to use a calculator to do the math,” Joe de la Cruz, a Democrat, told fellow House members when he announced in February that he's not seeking reelection.

“The $30,000 a year we make to do this illustrious job, the one that we all really care for, is truly not enough to live on. It’s truly

not enough to retire on.”

Lawmakers in other states, often those with parttime “citizen” legislatures, have raised similar complaints. In Oregon, where the base pay is about $33,000 a year, three female state representatives announced in March they are not seeking reelection because they can’t afford to support their families on a part-time salary for what’s really full-time work. They called the situation “unsustainable” in a joint resignation letter.

Connecticut legislators haven’t seen an increase in their $28,000 base pay in 21 years.

While it varies by state as to how legislative salaries are adjusted, bills increasing legislator pay were proposed in several states this year, including Connecticut, Georgia, Oregon, and New Mexico, which is the nation’s only unsalaried legislature. So far the bills

have faltered as some lawmakers fear rankling voters by approving their own pay raises.

It’s also not clear whether higher salaries ultimately lead to more diversified legislatures, something proponents of pay raises say is at risk. A 2016 study published in the American Political Science Review determined there was “surprisingly little empirical evidence” that raising politicians’ salaries would encourage more working-class people to run for political office. The study found that higher sal-

aries “don’t seem to make political office more attractive to workers; they seem to make it more attractive to professionals who already earn high salaries.”

Arturo Vargas, CEO of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, said he believes that low pay, coupled with the threats and picketing some lawmakers and their families have received over issues like COVID-19 rules, will discourage people of modest means from running. And that often means people of color.

National Briefs Lucky Charms Investigated

(AP) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating Lucky Charms cereal after dozens of customers complained of illness after eating it.

The FDA said Saturday it has received more than 100 complaints related to Lucky Charms so far this year.

“The FDA takes seriously any reports of possible adulteration of a food that may also cause illnesses or injury,” the agency said in a statement.

Several hundred people have also posted on a food safety website, iwaspoisoned.com, complaining of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting after eating Lucky Charms.

General Mills Inc., the Minneapolis-based company that makes Lucky Charms, Cheerios and other cereals, said it’s aware of those reports and takes them seriously.

But the company said its own investigation has not found any evidence of consumer illness linked to Lucky Charms.

General Mills said it encourages consumers to share their concerns directly with the company.

Jones Files For Bankruptcy

VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — Infowars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website's founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances.

In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.

The plaintiffs in that case have said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy that Jones promoted. Jones has since conceded the shooting did happen.

The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones.

“Alex Jones is just delaying the inevitable: a public trial in which he will be held accountable for his profitdriven campaign of lies against the Sandy Hook families who have brought this lawsuit," said Christopher Mattei, who represents the families in a Connecticut lawsuit against Jones.

An attorney for Jones did not immediately return a message seeking comment Monday.

Last month, Jones was fined $75,000 for failing to appear for a deposition in a defamation case but a judge last week ordered the return of the money because Jones eventually showed up.

Another newly filed lawsuit accuses Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets, but an attorney for Jones has called that allegation “ridiculous.”

Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, died in the Newtown school shooting, said he did not immediately know how the bankruptcy will affect his defamation lawsuit against Jones in Texas, where a trial on how much money in damages Jones should pay the families is set to begin next week.

“It is what it is,” Heslin said. “We’ll see where it all goes. He’s tried everything to avoid everything.”

Holy Days Converging In April Spark Interfaith Celebrations (AP) It’s a convergence that happens only rarely.

Coinciding with Judaism’s Passover, Christianity’s Easter and Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, Buddhists, Baha’is, Sikhs, Jains and Hindus also are celebrating their holy days in April.

The springtime collision of religious holidays is inspiring a range of interfaith events. In Chicago, there’s the Interfaith Trolley Tour coming up on April 24, in which a trolley will make stops at different faiths’ houses of worship. In cities across the country, Muslims are inviting people to interfaith iftars so they can break their daily Ramadan fasts in community with their non-Muslim neighbors.

In addition to Passover, Easter and Ramadan, holy days occurring in April this year include the Sikhs' and Hindus' Vaisakhi, the Jains'

Mahavir Jayanti, the Baha’i festival of Ridvan, and the Theravada Buddhist New Year.

Across faiths, the celebration of the overlapping holy days and religious festivals is seen as a chance to share meals and rituals. For some, it's also a chance to learn how to cooperate among faith traditions on crucial issues, including how to help curb climate change, fight religious intolerance, and assist people fleeing Afghanistan, Ukraine and other nations during the global refugee crisis.

“The rare convergence of such a wide array of holy days is an opportunity for all of us to share what we hold sacred with our neighbors from other traditions as a way of building understanding and bridging divides,” said Eboo Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith America, pre-

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg.

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 BREAKING BUREAUCRATIC BARRIERS TO INFRASTRUCTURE I traveled down to Kearney this week to break ground on the new I-35 and 19th Street Interchange. To say this project has been a long time coming would be a huge understatement.

My involvement started back in 2005 when I worked with the late Rep. Don Young, who was Chair of the Transportation Committee at the time, to secure $1.2 million for a project study in that year's highway bill. Work is just now finally starting.

That's crazy, but it's not uncommon.

Big infrastructure projects like this get held up often. On average it takes 7 years to get a major infrastructure project done. Many take much longer and it often takes years of behind-the-

scenes work just to make it to the starting line.

That's incredibly frustrating for communities, particularly ones like Kearney, where local citizens are funding a large majority of the project. All too often, these kinds of delays are due to the mess of red tape that folks have to navigate on every infrastructure project.

DOT, EPA, and many other three-letter agencies all have their own rules that need to be followed—and none of them work together.

My experiences and frustrations with this project, and so many others like it, have greatly influenced my time in Congress. One of my top priorities has been fixing this mess of red tape that holds projects back. That was one

viously known as Interfaith Youth Core. “This is Interfaith America in microcosm.”

On Chicago’s south side, the upcoming trolley tour is intended to teach participants about this year's April holidays, which are converging for the first time in the same month since 1991, said Kim Schultz, coordinator of creative initiatives at the Chicago Theological Seminary’s InterReligious Institute.

The trolley will stop at several sacred spaces, including a Baptist church, a mosque and a synagogue, and will end with an iftar at sunset catered by recently resettled Afghan refugees.

“We’re asking people to take advantage of this confluence, the convergence … more than half of the world is celebrating or commemorating the critical moment in our faith traditions,” said Hind Makki director of reof the goals of the STARTER Act 2.0, which I introduced early last year. It also included historic investments in our nation's infrastructure.

Unfortunately, the bill we ultimately got stuck with did almost nothing to fix these problems. Instead, it threw hundreds of billions of dollars we don't have at our infrastructure problem. And now, with the price of road materials increasing 20% last year, much of that investment is being eaten away by inflation.

It didn't have to be this way. We could have made real reforms to the permitting process for infrastructure projects and made responsible, paid-for, investments in our infrastructure. I know that because we've done it before. During my time in Congress, I've voted for 3 truly bipartisan highway bills. I wish this could have been the fourth.

We have got to fix the broken project approval process and shore up the Highway Trust Fund. Until we do that, we're just throwing good money after bad.

That's exactly what the President's most recent infrastructure bill is doing.

cruitment and communications at American Islamic College.

The event is sponsored by the American Islamic College, the Chicago Theological Seminary, the Center of Christian-Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice at the Lutheran School of Theology, the Hyde Park & Kenwood Interfaith Council and the Parliament of the World’s Religions. After more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions that upended many holidays, followers are eager to meet in person again.

Organizers of the Chicago event said they had arranged for a trolley that would carry 25 people, but there was so much interest across faiths that they had to arrange for a bigger trolley for 40 people instead.

And then, when more kept joining, a second trolley.

“This is a great time,” Makki said. "So, why not take the opportunity to

learn about each other’s traditions, to learn about each other through those traditions.”

As part of the month’s celebrations, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA opened its mosques to host dozens of interfaith iftars in cities across the nation centered on the theme of ‘justice through compassion.’

“During our gatherings across 35 cities we emphasized that the world that we see now stands on the brink of a world war,” said Amjad Mahmood Khan, national director of public affairs for Ahmadiyya.

“And only the collective prayers and actions of the faithful can really save humanity from self-destruction.”

Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu faiths gathered recently for a virtual panel celebrating the convergence of their sacred observances.

Among the issues discussed

were shared concerns over the rise of white Christian Nationalism and legislation in Arizona and Florida that they criticized for marginalizing LGBTQ young people.

“We see that convergence as highly symbolic, maybe even divinely ordained as our people need to reaffirm our shared values of love, freedom and justice in order to disrupt white Christian Nationalists’ attempts to decide what ideas, identities and practices are valued and respected,” said the Rev. Jennifer Butler, founder and chief executive of the Washington-based multifaith group Faith in Public Life.

“This sacred season presents the opportunity for solidarity, for prophetic witness as we lament the rise of intolerance and discriminatory laws that threaten our nation’s quest to be a multiracial and multireligious democracy," she said.

Georgia Man Accused Of Leaving Grandmother In Freezer To Die ARMUCHEE, Ga. (AP) — Police say a northwest Georgia man killed his grandmother by stuffing her in a freezer while she was still alive.

Floyd County Police discovered the body of Doris Cumming, 82, late Thursday in the Armuchee home she shared with her grandson, 29-year-old Robert Keith Tincher III. Tincher was charged with murder, aggravated battery and concealing the death of another. He remains jailed in Rome. It's unclear if he has a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.

Police said Cumming's family believed she had moved out of state, but grew concerned after not hearing from her and reported she might be mis-

sing.

Police said they believe that Cumming was injured in a fall in December and that instead of getting her medical attention, Tincher dragged her through home.

Criminal charges say Tincher “heard and saw numerous bones break." He then wrapped her in plastic bags and placed her in a large freezer, with the charges saying Tincher “acknowledged her back broke going into the freezer.”

Charges say there was “no altercation or provocation” leading up to the acts.

“From what we determined, at the time, he believed she was still breathing and had some movement at the time she was going into the freezer,” said Floyd County Investigator Brittany Werner told

WAGA-TV. Tincher continued living in the home with the body inside the freezer for months, but moved it to a storage unit in March, fearing Cumming's body might be found.

Werner said Tincher told police he didn’t call 911 because he was wanted for arrest because of terroristic threats made in 2018 against his wife.

Tincher also told investigators how much he loved his grandmother.

“He said she was the only family member that gave him the courtesy and love and attention he needed,” said Werner.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is conducting an autopsy to determine Cumming's cause and time of death.

I loved him, but he didn't love me. Now I'm back home with family to mend the relationship that we lost because of him. When I was with him, I was never able to contact anyone or tell them because I was being controlled on what to do and where to go. If I didn't tell him, he claimed I was the one cheating.

DOWN 1 Fem. title

Dear Annie: I have read your column for a long time now, and I always find that you give good advice and wisdom. I've been married for seven years and just recently became separated because my husband would rather be a playboy than a stable and reliable man.

I stood by this abusive and controlling man for years and lost all family and friends because of him.

I was madly in love, which turned into sorrow and shame, and I was always asking myself, "Why does my husband have to cheat on me all the time? What's wrong with me? Why was he doing this and destroying my heart?" For years, all of my questions have been, "Why me?"

In the beginning, my friends and family would tell me he was no good for me, and I never listened, even though he cheated and never changed. I've always tried to work on our relationship, but it always turned into an argument, and it was always my fault.

I want to know, is there

there are many men and women who have been victims of a narcissistic relationship, and they have come out of them on the other side stronger. But part of getting stronger is saying goodbye to your marriage, grieving it and moving on WITH support. You are not meant to do this alone.

Go to https://narcissistabusesupport.com/narcissist-abuse-support-groups/.

It shows a variety of support groups, and some are online with other survivors.

Although you feel brokenhearted, the fact that you wrote this letter shows that you will mend. There is nothing wrong with you other than the fact that you just forgot for a while how special you are. You deserve to be with someone who knows that and promotes it in you.

Don't try to understand WHY he did what he did.

Instead, try to understand why you stayed for so long and the root of your depression. Seek the help of a professional counselor as well as support groups. Best of luck to you.

The price of politics Inflation is at a record high in Europe, and it’s playing a key role in the French presidential election.

In the April 24 race against centrist incumbent Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen has seized on “pouvoir d’achat,” or purchasing power, as her top issue.

That appears to have helped the populist, anti-immigration challenger narrow the gap in the polls after her blowout loss to Macron in 2017.

Many of Le Pen’s proposals include populist spending that would send deficits higher or steps that would flout European Union rules, such as backing out of the EU’s

climate goals.

She also proposes banning Muslim head coverings in public and wants to pull out of NATO just as the alliance is contending with Russia’s war in Ukraine.

It could be a recipe for a five-year term of potential European gridlock.

Macron says Le Pen won’t have the money to pay for her proposals and promotes his measures to cap gas and electricity prices and help the poorest people.

He’s still the favorite.

A Le Pen win, however, would send a warning to other leaders about the political consequences of inflation and consumer discontent.

AREA Harry Bratton Invests In North Central Missouri College

FUNERALS

Harry Bratton’s appreciation for North Central Missouri College, formerly Trenton Junior College, is apparent to anyone who calls him a friend or an acquaintance. The same appreciation and admiration are felt for Harry, an NCMC Distinguished Alumni Class of 2016 Honoree, Missouri Community College Association 2017 Distinguished Alumni and active NCMC Foundation Board member. Harry and his late wife, Alice, were also recognized in 2014 as a Lead Gift Contributor toward the restoration of Geyer Hall. That admiration has led Mr. Bratton to once again invest in NCMC with a lead gift in anticipation of an upcoming major gifts campaign, Transforming Lives, Empowering People, by the NCMC Foundation.

Harry attended TJC from 1951-1952 and was drafted into the Army and served overseas in Germany as a mechanic. After his release

Edward Evans Funeral services for Robert Edward Evans were held at 10:30 a.m., Friday, April 15, 2022 at the Modena Christian Church in Modena. Pastor Dustin Wilson officiated.

Mr. Evans, an 82-yearold rural Princeton resident, passed away Monday, April 11, 2022 on his farm near his house.

Special music included “When I Get Where I’m Going” and “I Can Only Imagine.”

Pallbearers were Chad Evans, Nathan Evans, Walker Evans, Weston Evans, Wyler Evans, Wagner Evans and Will Evans.

Burial was in Salem Cemetery at Mill Grove.

Nina L. Lankford Memorial services for Nina L. Lankford were held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at Hodge Presbyterian Church in Trenton. Rev. Joe MacDonald officiated.

Mrs. Lankford, a 92year-old resident of Pearls II Eden for Elders at Princeton, died at 12:15

p.m. Saturday, April 9, 2020 at Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton.

Special music was provided by organist George Brundage, who played “How Great Thou Art” and “In the Garden.”

Inurnment was in Maple Grove Cemetery at Trenton.

Bessie Leah Wilford Funeral services for Bessie Leah Wilford were held at 2 p.m., Friday, April 15, 2022 at the Galt Christian Church. Rev. Stan Richardson and Rev. Eric Hoover officiated.

Mrs. Wilford, a 90-yearold former resident of Galt, passed away at 10:30 p.m., Monday, April 11, 2022 at Sunnyview Nursing Home of Trenton, where she had resided since March 4,

2016.

Special music was provided by Shelly Searcy, who played “He Looked Beyond My Fault (And Saw My Need) and “Mansion Over the Hilltop.”

Pallbearers were Brad King, Brett King, Gavin Smith, Sgt. Dalton Olson, Bob Axtell and L.D. Gibson.

Burial was in Galt West Cemetery.

from the army in 1955, Harry was sitting in a classroom at TJC/NCMC only nine days later. He shares that his transition from being a GI to being a college student was severe.

He recalls being “homesick” to see his comrades, and college life feeling like a foreign environment.

Harry soon realized his whole way of thinking had to be revised and good study habits re-established.

“This is where NCMC serves best as the classes are small and the teachers care whether you understand and learn. I wasn’t the only ex-GI back in the classroom. Things were coming at me fast,” Harry commented. He went on to say, “When I graduated from TJC in 1956, there were seven of us getting diplomas.”

After he graduated from TJC/NCMC, Harry went to

********** See Page 4 for the Daily Record and other Local News

the University of MissouriColumbia, where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Harry began his 33 ½-year career as a Mechanical Engineer with Bendix Corporation in Kansas City, which later merged with Allied Chemical Corporation.

Harry credits TJC/NCMC with the success of both his professional life and his private life. The foundation of his impressive engineering career and falling in love with his late wife Alice during his time at TJC. Harry comments, “None of this would have been possible without the support and encouragement I received from the College and the people of Trenton, MO.” He goes on to say, “Never underestimate Trenton and NCMC!” “NCMC has a way of

connecting people and making them feel safe,” commented NCMC Director of Development Alicia Endicott. “Mr. Bratton being able to connect with faculty and students and be supported through his education journey is why he has many times graciously decided to give back to NCMC. The NCMC Foundation is very fortunate to have an alum like Harry who wants to continue investing in what NCMC does so well, educating students, which transforms lives and empowers people.”

The NCMC Foundation is an IRS-approved 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Trip To Israel Is Program Topic For Rotarians Dr. Nick McHargue presented the program at the Thursday, April 14 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting. Chris Hoffman gave the prayer and Joe MacDonald was the sergeant at arms.

Dr. McHargue and his wife, Cheri, recently returned from a trip to Israel, where they visited several sites. Dr. McHargue said Israel covers 8,000 square miles with four million persons. Shekel is the monetary imot of the country, with three shekels equaling $1 in U.S. currency. Israel has three branches of government and is second only to the U.S. in business start-ups. It is also the leading diamond cutter. Among

the sites highlighted by Dr. McHargue were the Valley of Elah, where David slew Goliath; the Church of the Nativity; Mount Olive; the Dead Sea; and the tomb where Christ was laid after His crucifixion. He also talked about Petra, which is one of the seven wonders of the world and was established in the Third Century BC. He also shared pictures of his trip during the
