Princeton Hears Public Comments On Electric Bus The Grundy R-5 Board of Education made a decision concerning COVID19 testing and the Princeton R-5 board gave the public a chance to comment on a grant for an electric school bus during meetings held last week.

Grundy R-5 The Grundy R-5 Board of Education has opted to use the “Test to Stay” program to help identify positive COVID-19 cases and help keep kids in school who have been identified as a close contact.

According to information provided by Superintendent Phil Fox, under the option, students who have been identified as a close contact due to school exposure will be tested three times in the first seven days of their exposure to remain in school.

The administration and school nurse will coordinate the process for the district. The new guidance was handed down last week from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Health and Senior Services.

Board members voted to allow the district’s varsity boys and girls basketball teams to participate in the 12 Courts of Christmas basketball tournament. The tournament will be held at Hy-Vee Arena in Kansas City and games will take place over Christmas Break at a cost of $150 per team. The board also approved improvements to the high school building at Galt to be made by Kramer Construction of Jamesport at a cost of $8,360. This will involve window replacement in three rooms.

Board members reviewed a draft copy of the audit, with no action taken, and approved an increase to the after school tutoring pay and extended preschool time to $30 per hour. Other action items included the addition of the vocational class, PLTW Engineering, to the district weighted grading list, and the approval of an agreement with the city of Galt [See AREA, Page A3]

GEC Purchases Galt Electric

Grundy Electric Cooperative has purchased the City of Galt’s electric service, according to information provided by the Galt city clerk.

In a news release sent Friday afternoon, Galt City Clerk Ashley Bonnett said GEC has purchased the service and the transfer of services for all City of Galt electric customers will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 20. During that day, customers will have a quick power outage when GEC installs its new electric meter and should expect a two- to three-hour electric outage starting at 7 p.m. when GEC switches the power source. Anyone who experiences a problem with their electric service after the switch should contact GEC directly at 1-800-279-2249. Customers will receive their final electric bill from the City of Galt around Nov. 1 and will then be billed by GEC, with all payments to then be made to the cooperative. Customers will continue to receive water, sewer and trash bills from the city.

Voters were asked in April to approve the city pursuing a buyer for the service, but no announcement had been made concerning the sale prior to Friday.

In other business, Tony Grindstaff submitted his resignation as alderman at large, with that position now declared to be vacant and those interested in being considered for the position to attend the November meeting, which is scheduled for Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. A candidate will be selected to serve until the next election in April.

Bioenergy Project Is Topic The Monarch Bioenergy Project was the topic of a program presented to the Trenton Rotary Club at its meeting on Thursday, Oct. 14 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the business meeting, Phil Hoffman gave the prayer and Michael Ormsby was the sergeant at arms.

The project is a joint venture between Smithfield and Roeslein Energy, allow methane gases generated

by Smithfield farm lagoons to be captured and turned into energy. Michael Rainwater, general manager of Smithfield, and Brandon Bulterz, director of communication for Roeslein, told about the project, which has been ongoing for over 10 years. It involves 83 lagoons on eight Smithfield-owned farms. The methane gases generated by the lagoons is captured and transported through a pipeline to a purification system that turns it into an energy source. The energy is made available to the national grid for use throughout the U.S. The first energy was produced in 2016. It was noted that the energy produced at the lagoon on the farm near Milan provides the city of Milan with a majority of its power, including the power used to operate the Smithfield processing plant there.

Over $150 million has been invested for this process, which keeps the methane from going into the atmosphere. The two companies are also partnering

with other groups in a prairie grass restoration effort at two of its farms. Rainwater also presented an update on Smithfield and its economic impact in the area, which is estimated at around $1.6 billion per year. The company currently has 815 employees with 48 company-owned sow farms and two company-owned feed mills with seven elevators. The company is currently involved in “Project 30/80” which by 2025 would not only improve the quality of meat processed by the company, but would have each sow producing 30 pigs per year with an 80 percent livability rate to market. The current rate is just under 25 pigs per sow per year with a livability rate of under 70 percent.

During the business meeting, it was announced the District Foundation Dinner would be held in Kansas City on Nov. 5 and members who wanted to attend were asked to sign up as soon as possible. The local club will have a table of 10 at the event in recognition of its support for the Rotary Foundation.

Members were also reminded that if they make a $500 donation to the foundation by Oct. 24, the district would match that amount to designate a Paul Harris Fellow.

The next club meeting will be held at noon on Thursday, Oct. 21 at the BTC Bank community room.

Awards were presented, the THS audition choir, Gold Rush, performed and those in attendance were challenged to think about what it means to be a Missourian.

Barb Cox gave the address at the ceremony, telling the audience that we can learn a lot by looking at the past - how our ancestors faced trials and tribulations. She noted that 100 years ago the world was dealing with a flu pandemic and had just come through World War I, so things are not so different now. She touched on four traits of Missourians that set them apart: resiliency, the demand for “proof of truth”, “stick-to-itivness” and the tendency to debate the age-old question of whether the state is pro-

nounced “Missouree” or “Missouruh” - as well as other pronunciations.

Mrs. Cox said Missourians are resilient, a word that means having inner strenth, toughness, adaptability, etc. The way Trenton handled the closing of the Rock Island Railroad in the 1970s and the farm crisis of the 1980s are examples of resiliency, she said.

Because of their faith, ingenuity and resiliency, Trenton and Missouri have stayed alive and are “still kicking.”

The demand for “proof of truth” or the “Show-Me” attitude is also a characteristic of Missourians, she said, saying that people from this state are “toughminded demanders of truth.” She used the multiorganization push to obtain funding to stabilize the Thompson River bank along Highway 6 as an example of perseverance and “stick-to-itivness” that is necessary to get things done, even when it’s hard.

The debate over how to pronounce the state’s name was also included in her discussion of “what it means to be from Missouri.” Not only do Missourians argue over “Missouree” or “Missouruh” some argue over the “zzz” or “sss” sound. The pronunciation doesn’t really matter, she said.

“Whether you pronounce it “Missouree or Missouruh, it’s still the best place in the world to live,” she said.

In addition to the coloring contest winners, whose names appeared in Friday’s Republican-Times, the yard/porch decorating contest winners and win-

dow decorating contest winners were announced at the opening ceremonies.

Preceptor Nu chapter of Beta Sigma Phi took first place in the window decorating contest, having decorated the window at Citizens Bank and Trust.

The window of the Green Hills Regional Planning Commission, located at 1104 Main St., was named the second place winner.

husband. She now sleeps with him. I'm having difficulties with this. Knowing that my wife slept around was difficult for me, and I find this situation challenging, too.

I told my friend that I just want her to be happy, and if being with her husband makes her happy, I'm OK with that; I'll go. She ignored what I had to say. We continue to text and are looking forward to seeing each other again.

She is constantly saying that she loves me and wants a future with me. And she reminds me that I'm better off being in a relationship with her now than I was before. That's true. I was really unhappy before and have never been so happy as I am now with her.

We previously talked about a future together and had plans. Now when I ask her about that future and when we should act on it, I'm ignored. I'm not sure where to go from here.

I've considered looking for someone else, but I've never been much for dating.

And I continue to deal with depression. It's all really dif-

Dear Annie: I've been in a relationship for about three years.

Both of us are estranged from our spouses. We stayed in marriages because of our children and are still married now for other reasons. We both struggled with spouses who slept around. Neither of us had a relationship outside of our marriages until now.

Before we met, my friend slept in a room in the back of their house, crying herself to sleep every night. I slept on the sofa, taking antidepressants and seeing a counselor. (I moved out three years ago.)

My friend lives overseas.

We text and email constantly, with occasional phone calls and Zooms.

Prior to COVID-19, we saw each other about every three or four months.

Around the time COVID19 started, my friend's sonin-law died, leaving behind a pregnant wife and young child. My friend and her estranged husband got together and took their daughter and her family in.

In doing so, they all became very close, and my friend reconnected with her

I'm not sure where to go or what to do -- any thoughts? -- Missing My Girlfriend Dear Missing: Where you go from here is up to you, especially because you are in a hurtful relationship right now. Your girlfriend is back with her husband and not with you. Next time she tells you that she loves you and wants a future, pay more attention to her actions and not her words.

For now, cut off communication with her while you are dealing with your own life. It is understandable that you are depressed when you thought you were in a relationship with a future. The good news is that once you realize and accept that she is not the one and that you will be better off without her, you can move on.

In moving on, continue your treatment for depression and try to see that the ball and chain of her lies are now gone and you are free to find someone who loves and accepts you. Set her free so your special someone can find you. She is out there just waiting for you to be done with your ex-girlfriend. You sound like a caring man, and I have no doubt you will find someone.

Cashless payments rise Not much can stop the rise of cashless payments. The coronavirus pandemic only dented growth last year temporarily, according to an annual report by consultancy Capgemini.

Non-cash payments — think smartphone apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay as well as contactless cards — have been surging thanks to the rapid adoption of technology.

The number of such transactions globally had been growing at double digit rates for eight years, until 2020, when COVID-19 lockdowns severely crimped personal spending and stifled business activity worldwide.

But this year is set for a

rebound, with consumers expected to spend the money they saved last year on services, travel and leisure, the report said. That’s likely to power a resurgence in growth, with Capgemini forecasting that the number of cashless transactions will hit 1 trillion globally by next year.

Growth also will be driven by the next wave of payment technology, including the use of biometric data such as fingerprints, cryptocurrencies and “invisible payments” that let shoppers swap their cellphones for the checkout line so they can simply walk out of stores with their purchases.

On May 12, 1991 he was united in marriage to Judy Mulvania in Ravanna. She survives of the home.

Jerry had a love for family, friends and country and was especially proud of his grandson Logan.

Over the past few years he was involved in leather work and enjoyed making belts, billfolds and other items to give away to family and friends. Jerry was a man that never met a stranger, he made friends wherever he went.

He was a member of the Kansas City Trap Association and made lifetime friends with the guys he shot trap with; he was often referred to as “Duke” by those close friends.

Jerry spent a lot of time reloading his own shells which he used to shoot trap. He had a love for the outdoors and especially loved gardening.

Paul Arthur Persell On Oct 11, 2021, God called his faithful servant Paul Arthur Persell to be

by His side. He peacefully passed away at his home in Trenton, surrounded by his family at the age of 88.

He was born on Jan. 21, 1933 in Trenton to Lloyd Arthur and Susan Katherine Trobaugh Persell. The midwife then predicted he would become a preacher.

He graduated from Trenton High School in 1952 and continued to attend class breakfasts until his death. He then graduated from Central Bible College of Springfield in 1956 with a bachelor of arts degree in Theology.

In 1957, he was drafted into the Army, and was honorably discharged in 1958. Upon returning to Trenton, he followed in his Uncle Bill Persell’s footsteps as an engineer on the Rock Island Railroad, where he worked from 1958 to 1975. Throughout the rest of his life, a part of Paul’s heart was always interested in railroad memorabilia. He then was later ordained into the Assembly of God Ministries. He pastored various churches which included Leon, IA, Calhan, CO and Jamesport and Buckland. His ministry included several churches where he filled in and pastored short term.

Throughout his life, Paul ministered to individuals through song, words of encouragement and prayer.

On Aug 25, 1961, he married Viva Jean Miller.

They traveled to Enid, OK and were married by Rev. Earl Kelley. Together, Paul and Viva ran Paul’s Merchandise and The Linen Closet of Jamesport and The Bargain Outlet of Trenton.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd Persell and Susan Katherine Trobaugh, and his sister, Helen Louise Persell Hochstetler, all of Trenton.

Paul is survived by his wife, Viva Persell of the home; his daughter and son-in-law, Paula (Paul Brain) of Webster City, IA; his son, Doug of Trenton; his son and daughter-inlaw, Anthony (Suzanne Tague) of Cameron; three grandchildren, Justin, Jayden, and Jenna; his half-brother, David Persell of Florida, and his halfsister, Naomi Starkebaum of Oklahoma.

During his 88 years on this earth he touched so many lives by his caring, giving, uplifting qualities.

May we all strive, through God’s grace, to be like he was.

Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021 at the Tenth Street Baptist Church of Trenton under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home of Jamesport. Burial with military rites followed in the IOOF Cemetery at Edinburg.

Trenton native Mike Arbuckle was honored with a retirement banquet held Friday evening at the Black Silo Winery in Trenton. Arbuckle, a 1968 graduate of Trenton High School and North Central Missouri College alumnus, recently retired from a long and distinguished Major League Baseball career as a scout and front office employee with the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and Kansas City Royals. During that run he collected six different championship rings including a World Series ring with the Royals in 2015.

Arbuckle spoke to the crowd, which included the NCMC Pirates baseball team, about the importance of being a good teammate in sports and in life. Although he has retired from full time employment, he still is working parttime for the Royals in player assessment. The event was sponsored by the NCMC baseball team and the NCMC Foundation.

PAYTON FEIDEN jumps over two Trenton defenders to pull in a touchdown catch during Gallatin’s 37-6 victory on Friday night. Feiden caught six passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

Gallatin Tops Trenton In Faux Conference Championship Game To Grab Title Share Trenton’s Tucker Otto settled under what he thought was going to be an easy interception. Gallatin’s Payton Feiden had other ideas.

Otto is listed at 5 foot 10, 160 pounds.

Feiden, who goes 6 foot 3, 195, came across the field, muscled Otto off the spot then leapt up and pulled in a big reception to keep Gallatin on the field. On the next play, Feiden had a 35-yard touchdown catch.

Trenton had few answers for Feiden and the Gallatin Bulldogs Friday night as they fell 37-6 on the road at Gallatin’s Bulldog Stadium.

week tied with Trenton and Gallatin at the top of the standings with a 4-1 league mark. It was Gallatin who took sole possession of first place with the victory. A win over winless Princeton next week will sew up the outright title. Gallatin was one of three teams to share the conference crown in 2019 and this year’s title marks the 12th GRC football championship for the school.

“We kind of preached all week that, we know every game matters and every play matters, but this game just has that little bit of extra in it,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “Just as far as the conference implications that it had and both towns talking about this game — the build up was there. I think our guys were hyped up and excited to play this game.”

On the other side of the coin, the lights might have been a little bright for Trenton, which had won just two games in the past two seasons combined before putting everything together this year. Trenton’s turnaround thrust them into a faux conference [See GALLATIN, Page B3]

Experience Gained At State Soriano And Leininger Go 0-2 At State Tourney It was a short outing at the Class 1 State Tournament on Friday for the Trenton doubles team of Astrid Soriano and Lydia Leininger. But Soriano, a freshman, and Leininger, a junior, will both be back next season and getting state experience is never a bad thing.

The Trenton tandem opened play in the state tour-

nament doubles bracket with a 6-3, 6-2 loss to a team from Mount Vernon. The following match saw Trenton’s team booted from the double-elimination bracket with a 6-2, 6-0 loss to a team from Notre Dame.

“Astrid and Lydia played some of their best tennis today,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said.

“They played two quality teams and, even though they did not win, they gained experience that they can take into next year.”

The duo didn’t begin play-

ing doubles together until the season was a couple of week old, but quickly gelled, becoming a consistent source of wins in the Trenton lineup. Even with the two losses at state, Soriano and Leininger still finished the season with a 14-8 doubles record together.

This marked the second year in a row Trenton had a state qualifier after Lexi Gott advanced in singles play last year. Trenton’s tennis team ran a 10-5 overall record this year, finishing as team district runners-up.

THE PRINCETON TIGERS captured the Class 1, District 16 championship with an 8-1 win over Worth County in the championship game Saturday in Eagleville.

Princeton Wins District Title win going away.

At the plate, Carsey Brown was 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored. Dunkin, meanwhile, couldn’t have helped herself out more, going 2for-3 with two home runs and five RBIs. Princeton also got two hits, a double and two runs scored from Faith Siemer.

The win pushed the Tigers to 16-11 overall on the season.

Princeton will travel to Pattonsburg to take on the District 15 champion Panthers in the sectional round of the state playoffs. That game is scheduled for a 5:30 first pitch on Wednesday.

Princeton and Pattonsburg have split games this season with the Tigers winning 8-6 on Oct. 5 and the Panthers winning 3-1 in the championship game of the

Tigers Best Worth County 8-1 In Title Tilt The Princeton Tigers rode the arm of pitcher Mackenzie Dunkin to a district championship on Saturday as they defeated the Worth County Tigers 8-1 in the Class 1, District 16 championship game in Eagleville.

Dunkin was dominant in the circle, allowing just one run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight across seven innings of work. Worth County scored its lone run in the top of the third inning to momentarily close the gap to 2-1, but Princeton responded with a run in the bottom of the frame and then plated another in the fifth and four in the sixth to

George Scurlock Memorial Tournament in Princeton on Oct. 9.

Princeton advanced to the championship game with a 9-4 win over Mercer in the semifinals on Thursday.

Princeton took intrigue out of the match-up early, getting four runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Mercer didn’t score until the seventh, trailing 9-0 at the time., The Cardinals plated four runs in the final inning, but that was it as Princeton held on to move into the championship game.

Brown had two hits, both doubles, two runs and two RBIs. Addy Henke had two hits and two runs scored in the win. Becca Kile doubled and had two RBIs for the Tigers and Dunkin drove in a run as well.

South Harrison watched an outright Grand River Conference title slip through its hands in each of the past two seasons. They would settle for tri-championships as the Princeton Tigers handed the Bulldogs their lone conference loss in each of those years.

So there may have been a little frustration at play Friday night when South Harrison defeated Princeton 48-0 at Memorial Stadium in Bethany.

In addition to being shut out, Princeton went backwards offensively, finishing the night with minus 54 yards of total offense.

Gallatin A Win Away From Outright Title [GALLATIN, from Page B1] championship game with Gallatin and near the end of the game when the Milan-Polo score was announced over the loudspeaker, it was the home Bulldogs who began to celebrate.

“Not the way we wanted it to end up,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “I think because of where we are the pressure might have got us a little bit.

You know, it was a big game.”

Gallatin grabbed control from the onset, taking the opening possession down the field for the game’s first touchdown, a 12yard run by Draven Wright.

Quarterback Peyton Baker ran in the 2-point conversion and Gallatin had an 8-0 edge just three and a half minutes into the game.

Trenton’s defense picked up after that, but a personal foul after a punt and another for roughing the passer gave Gallatin the ball at the Trenton 14-yard line. The host Bulldogs didn’t have to work hard for their second score as Feiden pulled down a jump ball in the back corner of the end zone. Jagger Gray ran in the 2 and Trenton was in a 16-0 hole. “[Baker] is a wonderful quarterback,” Feiden said. “I love having him as my quarterback and I wouldn’t have anyone else.

I know he trusts me to go up and get those balls, so it is my job to go up and catch them. I just need to do my job.”

Draven Wright had the first of what would be two defensive scores for Gallatin, going 50 yards on an interception return.

After one quarter, Gallatin was well in charge, leading 22-0.

Feiden would grab a touchdown of 35 yards just before halftime to give a Gallatin team that was hampered by turnovers in the second quarter, a 30-0 halftime lead.

“We just knew we needed to play well as a team, all be on the same page” Feiden said. “We all know that if we are all working together, have the same mindset and have a good attitude that

nothing can stop us. We just need to keep going in the future. If we keep working as a team we can do anything that we want.”

Trenton’s most successful drive of the night was the one they got to open the second half.

A 5-yard touchdown run by Gabe Novak capped an 8 and a half minute drive that saw the visiting Bulldogs convert on a couple of crucial fourth downs.

“There is some fight in this team,” Hixson said of his team’s drive to open the second half.

“These guys, they will fight you.

We went in at halftime and we told them ‘hey, we have to earn a little bit of respect, we have to hang onto the ball, we’ve got to move it down the field and score.’

So, we went for a couple of fourth-and-two’s in the drive to let those guys know that we believe in them and they answered the call. I’m pretty proud of the effort in the second half.”

Trenton’s defense was much better in the second half as well.

The Bulldogs shut out Gallatin’s offense, but the home school got one final score with a second interception returned for a touch-

down. Isaac Bird grabbed this one and went 36 yards for the score.

“We’ve been working a lot during practice on our drop backs on defense,” Feiden said. “Coach has been talking about how we need to get more turnovers if we want to keep putting up numbers, so we just feel like we need to keep doing that.”

Outside of the touchdown drive to start the second half, Trenton didn’t get much push against Gallatin’s front. Sam Gibson led the Bulldogs with 101 yards, but needed 31 carries to break the century mark. Outside of him, Trenton didn’t get much, amassing just 204 yards of total offense in the loss. Novak had 55 yards on 19 carries and Ian Elbert ran the ball four times for 33 yards. “[Gallatin] was probably a little better than we gave them credit for up front,” Hixson said.

“They were pretty physical and had speed to the edge. We knew speed was going to be to their advantage so we put in a package to try and play a little more power football, but they battled right

back and stayed right in the mix.”

Gallatin had a very balanced night, throwing for 175 yards and rushing for 146. Baker completed 7-of-12 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Feiden was his target of choice on the night, catching six balls for 156 yards and two scores. “[Feiden] is a big help,” Treece said. “Maybe a ball that isn’t perfect, he can help make it a completion there. He is a great athlete. He can run, he can jump, he can catch. He has great ball skills. Feiden and Isaac Bird are a couple of big targets for [Baker] and they are helping him develop into a pretty accurate quarterback and a quarterback who is making some pretty good decisions.”

Feiden had 58 yards on four carries to represent Gallatin’s leading rusher as well.

Gallatin improved to 6-2 overall on the season and 5-1 in the GRC. The worst they can do is be co-champions of the league, but Gallatin will be heavily favored against Princeton next week, seeking to take the title outright.

Kickoff from the Tigers’ Eddie Allen Field is slated for 7 p.m.

“As coaches we don’t have to tell [our team] where we are sitting here or what has to happen there to get a share of the conference title,” Treece said. “They keep up with all of that and they figure that stuff out on their own.

Obviously [tonight was] big, we’ve had quite a bit of adversity through the year. We lost a couple of seniors that have been big parts of our team to injury and to moving, but the way the guys have rallied together and stuck together, just rolled with the punches has been phenomenal. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Trenton meanwhile fell to 4-4 overall and 4-2 in league play.

The Bulldogs close out the regular season this week with a road trip to Bethany to face South Harrison. That game at South Harrison’s Memorial Stadium is also slated for a 7 p.m. kick.
