BRIEFS Requests Get Approval

The Trenton Planning and Zoning Commission approved one request and the Board of Adjustments approved three requests during a meeting Tuesday evening at city hall. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a request from Terry Hearn for a conditional use permit to allow him to operate a used car lot on property at 907 E. Ninth St. It was noted that the request, which will now go to the full council for approval, includes the condition that the cars be placed on a paved lot. Hearn was also given approval for a five-foot variance on the side yard setback requirement of 7.5 feet to allow him to build a storage unit on that property. That request does not need council approval nor do two requests from Charles Walmsley, who was granted a 10-foot variance on the side yard next to street requirement of 15 feet to allow for the construction of a 10-foot by 12-foot addition to be constructed on property at 512 Linn St. In addition, the board of adjustments approved a 480 square-foot variance on the required 720 square feet on the maximum area for an accessory structure to allow Walmsley to build a 30-foot by 40-foot building on property at 606 E. Sixth St.

VINCENT PRESENTS ‘DREAM’ CONCERT

Bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent wowed the crowd at a concert benefitting the Northwest Missouri Chapter of the Dream Factory, held Wednesday at the Trenton Performing Arts Center. Vincent performed with her band, “The Rage” and with her mother, Carolyn Vincent of Greentop, top photo. The Grand Ole Opry member also helped present a “dream” to Russell Mouton, bottom left. Russell is shown with his parents, Kirsten and Rodney Moulton of Chillicothe and Ron Dougan, a Dream Factory volunteer who organized the concert. The event raised more than $26,000 for the Dream Factory.

Event Raises Money For Dream Factory Guitar Brings Over $1,000 At Auction

Even if you didn’t walk into the Trenton R-9 Performing Arts Center Wednesday evening as a fan of bluegrass music, you probably walked out as a fan of Rhonda Vincent. The Grammy Award-winning “queen of bluegrass” put on a show for a large crowd that benefitted the Dream Factory of Northwest Missouri to the tune of around $26,000. Vincent’s high-energy performance with her band, The Rage, included a

couple of selections with her mother, Carolyn Vincent, who still resides in Greentop. While music was the big draw to the show, concert-goers also got to be in on the surprise when 13-year-old Russell Mouton of Chillicothe got to see his “dream” come true. The son of Kirsten and Rodney Mouton was brought on stage where Ron Dougan, organizer of the concert and a long-time Dream Factory volunteer,

and Vincent presented him with a state-of-the-art gaming system that included a gaming laptop, streaming deck, headphones and virtual reality set. Several of the Dream Factory’s past recipients were in the audience for the performance. Dougan himself was also recognized with a plaque in appreciation of his work in organizing the concert. Dougan’s granddaughter, [See VINCENT, Page 7]

Moberly Park To Get Upgrades Board Grants VFW Permission To Use Memorial Moberly Park is getting some upgrades. Wednesday night the Trenton Park Board unanimously accepted two measures designed to improve the grounds at Moberly Park. The board gave the local Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter permission to use the existing war memorial in the park as a place to

set a new brick memorial wall. The board also voted to move forward with repairs to the upper Moberly parking lot. Tony Ralston, the commander of the local VFW attended the meeting, asking the board’s permission to set a new memorial on the base of the current memorial, which measures 46 feet from step to step. The VFW is seeking to place an outdoor memorial similar to the semi-circle brick memorials at the Wright Memorial Hospital grounds. The goal is to have a local war memorial that can be viewed at all hours. Ralston said the memorial with names in the courthouse can only be seen during hours of courthouse operation and that he has been approached by individuals who have been unable to show visitors the memorial due to the courthouse being closed at the time of their families’ visits, usually on

the weekends. The VFW plans to sell bricks to people who can have names of family members who were war veterans engraved onto them. Those bricks, which will be sold for $100 each, will be used to build the memorial with the names visible. Ralston had two different plans for the memorial, which would be incorporated into the existing memorial without necessitating the removal or changing what is already there. The board overwhelmingly favored the idea of placing the new brick structure at the memorial in Moberly Park, but questioned what cost it would be to the Parks Department. Ralston assured the board that all the bricks to be used would be paid for by the people purchasing the bricks. Other items for the project such as concrete

and labor might be able to be partially paid for by the VFW as well. Board president Curtis Crawford said he didn’t think it would be difficult to find people willing to donate money toward the project for installation. While the board voted to allow the VFW to use the existing memorial in the park as a place for the new brick monument, they did not commit to anything financially. Ralston said he would contact the hospital to find out who did the monuments there to garner an idea of what the cost for construction would be and report back to the board at a later date once he had an idea of what the cost and timeframe would be for the project. Cracks in the parking lot on the upper side of Moberly Park have been discussed for months now, [See PARKS, Page 6]

The Trenton R-9 Board of Education will meet in regular session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the district office.

GRAND RIVER CONFERENCE GIRLS GOLF TOURNAMENT

Gallatin Finishes Runner-Up At GRC Tournament Trenton, Gallatin Each Have A Pair Of Medalists It was always going to be a long shot to bring down Maysville at the Grand River Conference Girls Golf Tournament this year. But Monday at the Veterans Memorial Golf Course in Cameron, Gallatin was able to put its team and top individual right behind the Wolverines. Maysville laid claim to the conference crown with a team score of 411, but Gallatin was able to grab the runner-up spot, carding a team mark of 439. Individually Maysville’s

Hannah Riner shot an 89 to win Champion Golfer of the Year honors, but Gallatin again grabbed the second spot as Courtney Crose had the second-lowest total of the tournament, carding a 97. Crose was one of two individual medalists for Gallatin as Elle Copple carded a score of 106, good for seventh-place overall. Crose parred three holes on the day, shooting a 48 on the front nine and a 49 on the back. Copple, meanwhile, parred four holes, finishing with a front-nine 54 and back-nine 52. Behind that duo, Gallatin got scores of 118 from both Kylie Stagner and Brianna Filley to round out their

TRENTON GOLFERS Reece Weldon, left, and Josie Chumbley, right, earned all-conference honors by medaling at the Grand River Conference Tournament in Cameron on Monday. Chumbley was ninth with a score of 111 and Weldon finished 10th with a score of 113.

team score. Madison Kirk was also in varsity action, shooting a score of 126. Filley parred one hole and birdied another. Stagner had two pars and Kirk parred one hole. “It’s always good to bring home team and individual medals at a tournament,” Gallatin coach Chris Wever said. “It’s even more special to do so at conference. Hopefully we can build on this result and have a good showing at districts next week.” The Trenton Bulldogs finished fourth out of six schools that were able to post team scores. Trenton shot a score of 492 and had two individual medalists. Josie Chumbley led the Trenton squad with a score of 111, good for ninth individually. Chumbley finished with a front-nine 58 before carding a 53 on the back. Reece Weldon was right behind her teammate, garnering a 10th-place medal with a score of 113. Weldon finished with a front-nine 58 as well and shot a 55 on the back. Weldon had one of two Trenton pars on the day. “I was very happy for Josie and Reece,” Trenton coach Travis Mullenix said. “They both played well and were able to earn all-conference. I know that’s been a goal of Josie’s so I’m really proud that she was able to accomplish that in her senior year. I was really hoping she would have a good day and she was able to do that.

THE GALLATIN GIRLS GOLF TEAM placed second at the Grand River Conference Golf Tournament in Cameron on Monday. Members of the team included, from left, Madison Kirk, Kylie Stagner, Brianna Filley, seventh-place individual Elle Copple, second-place individual Courtney Crose and coach Chris Wever.

“Reece is having a very good start to her career. She’s had her ups and downs, but that’s to be expected from a freshman. It’s great to see her having some success and hopefully, it will drive her to work even harder.” Behind those two, Mari Atup, who had the other Trenton par, carded a score of 116. She just missed a medal with the finish, placing 12th overall. The top 10 received medals. Sofia Currie’s mark of 152 rounded out Trenton’s team score and Morgan Brown was also in varsity action, shooting a 170. “Mari was very close,” Mullenix said. “She had a great back nine, but unfor-

tunately didn’t have the start she needed to medal. I was proud of our team. We were able to best some teams that had beaten us previously in duals and tournament play, so I was very happy with our performance.” Princeton had three golfers in action so there would be no team score for the Tigers. Riley Moreno had the low score for the Tigers, carding a score of 118, good for 13th place individually. Moreno had a 60 on the front nine and a 58 on the back. Other scores from Princeton included a 133 from Labrina Templeton and a 140 for Cheyenne

Dinsmore. Trenton and Princeton were in action against one another on Tuesday at the Riverside Country Club, wrapping up regular-season play. See page 3 for a full recap from that dual. Gallatin closed out its regular season on Thursday with a road dual in Hamilton. All three schools are in district action on Monday. Trenton and Princeton will travel to the LA Nickell Golf Course in Columbia for the Class 1, District 3 Tournament. Gallatin will go to the Mozingo Golf Course in Maryville for the Class 1, District 4 Tournament. Both events are set for 9 a.m. tee times.

Trenton Loses Championship In Heartbreaking Fashion Chillicothe Hands THS Third-Straight District Final Loss CHILLICOTHE 5 TRENTON 4 It was a heartbreaking end to the team portion of the Trenton High School tennis season on Wednesday night in Trenton. The Bulldogs weathered a two hour, 15 minute rain delay and then another delay later in the night when the lights at the CarpenterBosley Courts went out — all just to fall 5-4 to the visiting Chillicothe Hornets in the championship dual of the Class 1, District 15 Tournament. It was the third-straight year that Trenton lost the district championship match to Chillicothe and for the second straight year, they lost by a single point. As the clock pushed toward 10 p.m., a dual that began at 4 o’clock that afternoon was finally winding to conclusion. Harley Hall, Trenton’s number-five singles player, readied herself for a tiebreaker. With the dual tied at 4-4, Hall and Chillicothe’s Audrey Snider had split sets, Snider winning 6-4 in the first and Hall taking the second by a 6-4 score of her own. The third set couldn’t determine a winner as the two played to a 66 draw. Hall held a 5-4 lead in the tiebreaker, a shootout to 10 points, but she only collected one more winner in the next seven rallies as Snider pulled out the 10-6 win to send Chillicothe into the sectional round of the state playoffs for the

THE TRENTON BULLDOGS placed second at the Class 1, District 15 Tournament, falling 5-4 to Chillicothe in the championship dual on Wednesday night in Trenton. Members of the team include, from left, Astrid Soriano, Lydia Leininger, Alaina Overton, Harley Hall, Jillian Voorhies and Mallory Sole.

third year in a row. Trenton had defeated Chillicothe twice in the regular season, winning 6-3 on Sept. 14 and 5-4 on Sept. 23. Chillicothe flipped a match in each meeting after the initial clash, however, and the Hornets picked up a 6-1, 6-4 win in the number-four singles match where Lydia Leininger lost to Olivia Anderson. Leininger had defeated Anderson in Trenton’s last dual with Chillicothe, winning 84. Trenton however almost flipped the number-five match in response where Hall lost in the tiebreaker. Hall had been defeated 8-2 in her last match with Chillicothe’s Snider, but pushed her foe to the absolute limit this

time around. “The girls fought hard, but came up one game short,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “Harley was the last teammate on the court, tied at 4-4. She left it all on the court. Great team, great season.” Trenton finished the year with a 10-5 overall record. The Bulldogs fell behind 2-1 in doubles play as they did in their previous dual with Chillicothe. It was almost over before it started as Trenton’s lone doubles win came on a tiebreaker. Mallory Sole and Alaina Overton held on to take a 9-8 win, grabbing the tiebreaker by a 7-3 score. Leininger and Astrid Soriano lost 8-4 in the number-two doubles match and Hall and Jillian

Voorhies fell 8-6 in another closely contested match. Trenton controlled the top of the lineup in singles play, getting a 6-1, 6-2 win from Sole at number one and a 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 win from Soriano at number two. Overton was a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) winner at number three. Trenton would fall in the bottom three singles matches, however, with Voorhies adding a 6-1, 6-2 loss to Leininger and Hall’s defeats. vs. CARROLLTON Trenton made short work of Carrollton in the tournament semifinals on Tuesday, picking up a 5-0 win. The Bulldogs swept doubles play in dominating fashion as Sole and Overton scored an 8-0

win, Soriano and Leininger grabbed an 8-3 victory and Hall and Voorhies won 8-0. Voorhies and Leininger put the match away in singles play as Leininger picked up a 6-0, 6-0 win and Voorhies netted a 6-2, 62 victory. Those two wins pushed Trenton’s total to five and the other matches going on were halted as Trenton advanced to the championship. UP NEXT Trenton still has four players alive in the individual portion of the state tournament. Sole and Overton advanced to sectionals in the singles bracket, while the duo of Soriano and Leininger moved on in doubles play. Sole won the individual singles championship on Friday, Oct. 1 in Excelsior Springs, going 3-0 on the day. Sole won all three of her matches by 6-1, 6-1 scores, including the championship where she defeated her teammate, Overton. Overton also moved on to sectionals, however, with her second-place finish. She moved into the championship with Sole by collecting wins of 6-2, 6-3 and 62, 1-6, 7-6 (10-5). In the doubles bracket, Soriano and Leininger got wins of 6-4, 62 and 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (10-6) to reach the doubles championship where they fell 6-4, 6-2 to place second. Hall and Voorhies were eliminated in the quarterfinals 6-0, 61 after winning in the first round, 6-0, 6-2. Trenton’s individual qualifiers will be in sectional action on Saturday at Lee’s Summit High School. First serves are set for 10 a.m.

SPORTS SPORTS BRIEFS TMS Falls To Polo

The Trenton Middle School football team was handed a 14-12 loss by visiting Polo Monday night at C.F. Russell Stadium. Both teams scored twice, but Polo went 1-for-2 on 2-point conversions while Trenton failed to get in after either of those two scores. Michael Baker had a 60-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to bring Trenton within two points at 8-6 and a 25-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Houser to Elijah Miller momentarily put the Bulldogs in front, 12-8. Polo would score again late in the third quarter, though, and Trenton had no answer in the fourth as the Bulldogs fell to 2-2 overall on the season. Trenton will host Maysville on Monday, kicking off at 5 p.m. from C.F. Russell Stadium.

TMS Volleyball Wins

The Trenton Middle School volleyball team picked up a road victory in Cameron on Wednesday night. It was a back-and-forth match, but Trenton was able to secure a 26-24 victory in the first set and then capped the win with a 25-17 win in the second set. Trenton took the B match as well, winning in three sets. The B team fell 26-24 in the opening set, but rallied to tie the match with a 25-21 win in set two.

Trenton, Princeton Face Off At RCC Chumbley And Weldon Tie For Medalist Honors Trenton and Princeton’s high school golf teams faced off Tuesday at the Riverside Country Club in the final regular season action for both squads before they travel to the Class 1, District 3 Golf Tournament in Columbia on Monday. Princeton brought just three golfers, meaning no team score for the Tigers. That left individual honors

as the top item to play for and Trenton golfers Reece Weldon and Josie Chumbley would share medalist honors for the dual as both shot scores of 62. Chumbley had a consistent day, carding between a 4 and 8 on every hole. Weldon took a more adventerous route to her total, going as low as 3 to par the seventh hole and as high as an 11 on hole 1. Both rounds counted the same, however, and the Trenton golfers shared the top spot. “The girls are playing a little better at the right

time,” Trenton coach Travis Mullenix said. “You always hope that things start coming together towards the end of the year for conference and district play and I think we are on the right track.” Behind that duo, Trenton’s Mari Atup and Princeton’s Riley Moreno both shot scores of 65, just three strokes off the winners’ pace. Moreno carded a four on the eighth hole for the lone Princeton par of the day. Morgan Brown rounded out Trenton’s team score

of 255 with a mark of 66. Sofia Currie was also in action for Trenton, shooting a score of 74. Princeton’s Cheyenne Dinsmore carded a 67 on the day and Labrina Templeton added a 68 as all three Princeton golfers broke 70 at the dual. Both Trenton and Princeton will be at the LA Nickell Golf Course in Columbia for the Class 1, District 3 Tournament on Monday at 9 a.m.

Grundy Baseball Run Ruled

The Grundy County R-5 baseball team was handed an 11-1 loss on the road in La Plata on Monday. After yielding a run in the bottom of the first, Grundy watched as La Plata strung together a five-run second and three-run third to push the game out of reach. Grundy scored just once in the contest. Mason Rayl grounded into a fielder’s choice to score Aidan Rains in the top of the fourth. Two La Plata runs in the bottom of the fifth walked the game off by the 10-run rule. Grundy had no hits in the game. Rains took the loss on the bump, allowing 11 runs, nine earned, on 10 hits, five walks and a hit batter while striking out three. Grundy was in Novinger for action on Thursday and closes out its season on Monday, playing host to Meadville in Galt.

Jeff Crowley Wins Pick 10

Jeff Crowley was the weekly winner of the Pick 10 contest, collecting a score of 52 points. Crowley’s total not only bested the field, but he also topped R-T publisher Jamey Honeycutt to add the bonus money to his weekly winnings for a total of $50. Local sponsors of the Pick 10 contest include Hy-Vee, ServeLink, Barnes-Baker, Chumbley’s, T&L Auto and Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri.

Volleyball Team Drops A Pair Bulldogs Open Week With Home Losses To Chilli, Lathrop CHILLICOTHE 3 TRENTON 0 LATHROP 3 TRENTON 0 The Trenton High School volleyball team dropped a pair of home games to open the week, despite being competitive in both matches. Trenton fell to Chillicothe 25-16, 2522, 25-17 on Monday and lost 25-23, 25-13, 25-23 to Lathrop on Tuesday. vs. LATHROP Trenton jumped out to an early lead in the first game against Lathrop on Tuesday. Trenton held a 9-4 advantage in the early going, but Lathrop battled back. The set went back-andforth down the stretch before the Mules eventually scored the twopoint win. The third set was equally as close, but again, Trenton couldn’t quite find a way past Lathrop. Ava Simpson had 15 assists to lead Trenton in the loss. Ally Yoder added six kills and four aces and Kenzy Dolan had four aces as well. On a night when Trenton’s defense took a step forward, Zoie McGowan had a team-high nine digs. “We dug the ball a lot more tonight, which tells me our defense is starting to develop and read better,” Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said. “Our serve-receive still needs to make strides of improvement. When we dial that in we’ve proven to be really strong. It will just need to be a big focus as we near the end of the season.” Trenton’s junior varsity team

dropped their match with Lathrop’s second squad in straight games as well, falling 25-20, 25-15. vs. CHILLICOTHE The Bulldogs were led by six assists and two aces from Simpson in the loss on Monday and Lilly Berti added four kills, one block and one ace against the Hornets. Trenton was competitive in all three games, but mishits on Chillicothe serves had the Bulldogs struggling in the offensive attack all match. “The girls played hard,” Ewald said. “We were just a little off on the execution all night. Serve-receive and passing really gave us trouble. Even though we didn’t give up a lot of aces,

it was hard to get great sets with some off passes. That pushed our hitters out of position a lot, which made it tough to finish off points. “If we can get that passing cleaned up and hit from behind the ball more, we can start to really see that score fall our way.” Trenton dropped the JV contest with Chillicothe 25-12, 25-15 and fell 25-8, 25-7 in the C match. UP NEXT Trenton returns to action on Monday, traveling to Lexington for a 5 p.m. first serve. The Bulldogs are back at home on Tuesday, facing district top seed LeBlond. That match is also slated for a 5 p.m. start.

KIMBERLY CLARK throws a pitch during the Trenton Middle School softball team’s 8-6 win over Brookfield on Tuesday night. Trenton got half its runs in the third inning on an inside-the-park grand slam by Lucy Price, then scored four more in the fourth on an RBI single by Payton Foster and a bases-clearing triple from Mylee Baker. It was the second win in as many nights for the team as Trenton defeated Marceline on the road Monday night, 12-5. Sage Foster led Trenton with three runs in that victory. Trenton was 2-2 at the North Central Missouri College Middle School Tournament on Saturday, getting wins over Milan and North Harrison while falling to Putnam County and Chillicothe. The team currently sits at 810 overall on the season and will wrap up play on Monday, hosting Chillicothe in the final game of the season. The first pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

A pair of timely doubles off the bats of Eliana Cowling and Gracyn Rongey lifted Trenton to victory Tuesday as the Bulldogs picked up a 4-1 home victory over visiting Brookfield on Griffin Field. The game was locked at 1-1 when Teya Cooksey beat out an infield single that scored Morgan King in the second inning and it appeared like it might stay that way. Cowling made sure it wouldn’t, however, driving a ball to the right-centerfield gap with two outs in the fourth inning to score Madi Moore, who singled to lead off the frame. Cowling’s RBI double seemed to jump start what had been a sluggish Trenton offense and in the fifth, the Bulldogs tacked on two more runs. Shay Westerhof led off with a bunt single, stole second base and moved to third on a wild pitch. Rongey then delivered a double to easily score Westerhof. Rongey herself would score when Mirena King successfully bunted her way on base. The four runs were plenty for Trenton on a night when Emma Roberts had some of her better stuff. The Trenton pitcher

Marceline came back with four runs in the bottom of the inning and the Tigers would score in all five frames as they put Trenton away early. The Bulldogs would get a second run in the fourth when walks to Moore, Cowling and Jena Harris loaded the bases with two outs. Moore would score on an error by the Marceline third baseman, but that was all that came of the rally for Trenton. Lynch had two hits in the win, but a single by Morgan King was the only other hit of the ballgame for the Bulldogs.

Roberts took the loss in the circle, allowing 12 runs on 15 hits and four walks without a strikeout in four and one-third innings thrown. Trenton’s junior varsity also lost to Marceline, falling 5-1. Kaegan Croy had a double in the defeat while Avery Clark, Samantha Hoselton and Meeker all added singles. UP NEXT Trenton was at home on Thursday, playing host to Cameron. The Bulldogs will be at home on Monday, closing out the regular season by hosting the Chillicothe Hornets on Griffin Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

7-0 at East Buchanan on Monday and 5-3 in King City on Tuesday. The back-to-back losses dropped Gallatin to 10-9 overall on the season. Gallatin wasn’t able to do much on Monday in Gower as East Buchanan kept the Bulldog lineup off balance all night. The Bulldogs would not score a run in the loss as East Buchanan cruised to the victory. Gallatin opened its match-up with King City with a literal bang, however, as Betty Rogers blasted a tworun home run in the top of the first. King City got one run back in the

bottom of the inning, but Gallatin pushed the lead back to two runs with a single tally in the third inning. It would be all King City the rest of the way though as Gallatin was unable to push another run across. The host Wildkats, plated three in the fourth to go in front and then added an insurance run in the fifth to give the game what would be its final score. Gallatin will look to bounce back on Saturday as they compete in the George Scurlock Memorial Tournament in Princeton.

OP/ED FIVE POINTS WENDELL LENHART

A LOOMING CRISIS As Congress continues to wrangle with lifting the debt ceiling and trying to pass trillions of dollars of more federal spending, there’s another problem looming on the horizon: Medicare funding. Due to increased enrollment by baby boomers, such as myself, and the increased cost of healthcare, funding for Medicare Part A, which pays for hospital care, will run out of funding within the next five years. It will be interesting to see how our elected leaders approach a solution to this problem. It appears to me that the only solution to the problem will be to raise the tax rate that employers and employees pay or cut benefits to those enrolled in Medicare so they pay more out of pocket. Either solution, or a combination of both, is going to cause hardships for someone or everyone. And this doesn’t even take into account the same looming problem coming with Social Security. It’s on the same runaway train but a few more years away from insolvency. On top of these two crises, there are proposals in Congress to expand Medicare as part of the proposed $3 trillion plus infrastructure plan. I have no confidence that Congress will do the right thing. They have continued to kick the can down the road about funding Medicare and making it a sustainable program because, although it is the right thing to do, it is a politically unpopular thing to do. They will wait until the last minute to take any action on the problem and then blame each other for the outcome. I have to agree with what Senator Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., said: “Spending trillions more on new and expanded government programs, when we can’t even pay for the essential social programs, like Medicare and Social Security, is the definition of fiscal insanity.” As the baby boomer generation continues to age each year, the numbers are just not going to add up. There will be more people enrolled in these programs than there will be working to pay the needed funds to keep them afloat. I must confess that I didn’t pay complete attention in economics class when I was in college, but at some point the government cannot continue to spend more than it takes in without all of the deficit spending causing a major financial crisis. Just paying the interest on the outstanding debt continues to become an increasing part of the federal budget each year. And it has to be paid first, so it squeezes out spending for other programs. I have a feeling that this is not going to end well and there are going be a lot of problems caused by our government continuing to spend more than it has. ##### Speaking of Congress and Washington, D.C., I’m reminded of what former President Harry Truman said: “You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.”

Hyde

• From Front Page •

served as Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Hyde earned his law degree from the University of Iowa and returned to Princeton to practice law with his father. He also owned a Buick dealership. In 1904, he married Hortense Clara Cullers of Trenton, and the couple had one daughter, Carolyn C. Hyde. In 1908, he was elected mayor of Princeton, serving two terms from 1908 to 1912. In 1912, Hyde unsuccessfully ran for Missouri Attorney General as a member of the progressive party. Hyde and his family moved to Trenton in 1915, with Hyde continuing work as a lawyer and as an auto dealership owner. He joined the Republican Party and served as a spokesperson at several fundraisers across the state, elevating his status in state politics and eventually leading to his election as governor in 1921. During his first month as governor, according to Wikipedia, Hyde recommended extensive reorganization of state government by regrouping

responsibilities into few departments. His administration also made advancements in public education, roads, state parks, conservation, law enforcement and equitable taxes. Women were also authorized to hold state office during his time as governor. After one term, Hyde resumed the practice of law in Kansas City and Trenton before being tabbed by President Herbert Hoover to serve as Secretary of Agriculture. It was at this time that farm prices saw a decline and the stock market crashed, resulting in the beginning of the Great Depression. After working in the Hoover administration, Hyde continued his work with the Methodist Church and the Republican Party, organizing and speaking at the Conference of Methodist Laymen in 1935. He also spoke on behalf of national Republican candidates and was the keynote speaker for the Missouri State Republican Convention in 1940. Hyde died in 1947 in New York City at the age of 70 following cancer surgery. He was brought back to Trenton and is buried in the Oddfellows Cemetery at Trenton.

RONDA LICKTEIG

ISOLATE THE PROBLEM I kept asking myself: “Do you really want to write that column? You could just let it go and cruise through the end of the week....” But yes, I want to write this column. More accurately, I feel like I have to write this column. I attended the public meeting at the Grundy County Health Department last week and spent many hours putting in my notes and writing the story. I included the comments of every person who spoke who gave their name. I walked away disheartened by some comments, but also with the feeling that some good ideas were shared. The meeting was held to focus on the isolation and quarantine of students. Dr. NiCole Neal, president of the GCHD board, said the board wanted input on how isolation and quarantine is being handled in the schools. And she and the rest of the board got an earful. I’m going to focus on two ideas that were presented that I think have merit and no, I’m not saying everyone else was an idiot so don’t even go there - I just have room to focus on two ideas! One idea, presented by Rissler Elementary teacher and R-9 parent Pam Bowden, was to allow students who are identified as a close contact to continue attending school if the parent wishes as long as the student will wear a mask during the quarantine period. I think that’s a viable option. My only issue would be that it puts the pressure on school staff to not only know who is quarantined as they’re walking the halls, but to enforce the mask rule. If the student violates the mask rule, they would be sent home for the duration of the quarantine period. This sounds reasonable to me, but based on the fact that the vast majority of people who attended the meeting refused to wear a mask - at the local public health agency - even when they were asked multiple times, I really have to wonder how many of the

Parks

• From Front Page •

but the board finally voted to approve going forward with the project. Park Superintendent David Shockley had spoken with the street department about the cost of repairing the lot and received an estimate of $4,180. That estimate included $2,100 for asphalt patching of the cracks, $1,540 for completely replacing the north entrance to the parking lot and $540 for MC800 oil to seal the entire lot. Marvin Humphreys, who attended the meeting as a city liaison said if the board went ahead with the project he would talk to the city stating that he believed there was some wiggle room in the asphalt patching portion of the quote. While not promising anything, he believed he though the city could knock down that cost a little. A dog park was briefly discussed, but Shockley and Crawford said neither one has been approached with an official request or plan. The board had simply heard of the idea and had

brief conversations about it. It was mentioned that there currently is not very much unused land in the parks system and a dog park would require ample space and water accessibility. The board also plans to look into the parking spaces directly in front of the swimming pool. There is some confusion as to whether those were parking spaces or a zone for unloading and loading children. Humphreys stated that he saw a child nearly get hit because the spaces were full and a parent had to drop her kid off in the street. The board discussed putting up signs marking the area as an unloading and loading zone only, but also brought up the fact that there are handicapped spaces there and they are required to keep a certain amount of handicap parking spots available. Crawford and Shockley said they would talk to Trenton Police Chief Rex Ross about handicap requirements and the possibility of making a portion of the area an loading and unloading zone.

parents would support this idea. As the grandmother of a child who has been quarantined twice already this year, you can bet I’d advocate for him being in school even if he had to wear a mask. The second option was presented by Pleasant View R-6 Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff. She said it is very possible that her district could quarantine an entire class if needed. They could stay in their classroom, eat in the room, be on the playground when other students are not, use a separate restroom from other students, etc. That’s a viable option for R-6 and probably for Spickard R2, Laredo R-7 and maybe even Grundy R-5 Elementary. I don’t see it as an option at Trenton R-9, but maybe I’m wrong. It’s definitely an option that could be explored. Here’s what I also came away with from that meeting and the thing that has eaten at me all week: people have become so disrespectful. You came into their “house” and were asked to take the simple step of wearing a mask. You refused. You didn’t take into consideration the health of anyone around you. As many like to point out and it’s true - the vaccine and masks are not 100 percent effective. I agree, and it’s possible I (or you) could have COVID and not have symptoms. That’s the best-case scenario - that if I get it, the steps I’ve taken will keep me healthy. Some people claim to care so much about other people but then stood in front of me without their mask. I am planning to have minor shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. I’ll have to be tested two days prior to surgery and even if I feel like I can run a marathon that day (not likely) if I test positive, I can’t have my surgery. And trust me, there are many who have far more serious health issues than I have who get exposed every day because someone decided it was their “right.” Just because it’s your “right” doesn’t make it right. I hope that the health department and the school districts will be able to come together to work on a way to keep healthy kids in school. Somehow, we’ve forgotten that we’re all in this together. We still are, right? In old business, Shockley said he had looked into other bids for placing permanent cement cornhole boards in Eastside Park. Shockley looked at costs from three other companies, but all were higher than the original estimate from Doty & Sons Concrete Products, LLC out of Sycamore, IL — which was $2,000 for two sets. With winter coming, no decision was made and the board would be eyeing a spring installation for that project. It was agreed to discuss the issue again at the next meeting. Gary Schuett gave a brief grounds committee report, saying Shockley’s crews had done a good job keeping new trees watered over the summer and that he planned to begin doing some trimming on the smaller trees in the parks. In the facilities committee report, Crawford said bathrooms at Ray Van Meter, Gladys Grimes and Upper Moberly parks had been locked after Tik Tok videos showing kids destroying bathrooms started popping up. Those bathrooms were deemed to be less used than other bathrooms in the

parks. Crawford also noted they had not had issues as of yet stemming from the videos in the bathrooms that were in higher trafficked areas and those have remained open. The meeting closed with the superintendent’s report. Other than routine items, Shockley said gravel has been replaced around three of the disc golf pads in Moberly Park with work to continue on the six remaining pads. A drainage ditch between C.F. Russell Stadium and Burleigh Grimes Field had begun to fill with dirt, so crews worked to clean out that ditch to encourage better drainage and water flow between the two facilities. Shockley has also gone through the parks inventory so he can start stocking up on supplies now rather than waiting until spring, citing major shortages nationwide in a lot of goods, including those used frequently by the parks department. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Trenton Park Board is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 3.

love with them and it's best to go our separate ways coparenting our child than to live in a distrustful, jealousy-filled environment? Avoiding each other isn't a healthy environment in which to raise our daughter. -- Loving Father, Concerned for his Daughter's Well-Being Dear Loving Father: Everyone comes into our life for a reason. Some are meant to stay forever. Some are meant to teach us something. Some are meant to offer companionship or love or guidance. You share a child with this woman, and that is something very special. But it doesn't mean she is a good match as your life partner and vice versa. If she doesn't understand that message, it's best to speak with a couples therapist or mediator to help you two communicate. And do let her know that although she is not the love of your life, she has given you something no one else can: your daughter.. Dear Annie: My mother died at the age of 67 from COVID-19 in January. My

Dear Annie: I have a child with a woman who is 20 years younger than me. Having a child was not planned. I'm grateful for our child, but I'm not in love with her mother. I've tried to explain to her that I love her for the mother she is but that I'm not in love with her. She found old letters in my closet from an ex that I was in love with over six years ago, and she wonders why I can't love her the way I did my ex. I tried explaining to her that she isn't my ex and what we have is completely different from that relationship. Shortly after our daughter's birth, things got rough between us, and she took my daughter and everything I'd bought for her. I did not get to see her for two months. Through a lot of court and financial upsets, I finally got to see my daughter. We now live together, just so that I can see my daughter and know that she's taken care of -- but I'm still not in love with her mother, nor do I trust her. How do you get someone to understand you're not in

stepfather wanted to wait a year to have the memorial so everyone could attend. Since my mother's death, my stepfather has remarried. Yup, remarried. And now his new wife has moved into the house. My stepfather is now saying everything in the house is his and is being resistant about allowing me or my brothers into the house to get my mother's belongings that are sentimental to us. My mom, unfortunately, did not have a will. What do we do? -- Remarried after Death Dear Remarried: First, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mother. Sixty-seven is too young, and I'm sure you miss her every day. Try to be happy that your stepfather has found another companion; everybody grieves at their own pace. Inheritance laws vary state by state, so the best thing you can do is consult a lawyer. I would give your stepfather the heads-up that you are doing this; it might persuade him to let you into the house and take items of sentimental value before getting lawyers involved. And remember: No matter who lives in that house, no one will ever replace your mother.

Meal kits boom in pandemic The pandemic gave the struggling meal kit business a big boost. But will home chefs keep up the habit? U.S. meal kit sales jumped by 69% in 2020 compared to the prior year, according to Coresight Research. Higher sales resuscitated Blue Apron, which was losing so much money it announced a possible sale just weeks before the pandemic hit. Hello Fresh, the U.S. market leader, said its meal deliveries doubled last year. Meal kit demand has slowed this year but is still outpacing grocery sales, Coresight says. Meal kits — which include a

package of ingredients and a recipe to prepare a meal — are likely benefiting from the increase in people working from home. The pandemic also broadened their audience, drawing in more older consumers. Meal kit companies — still saddled with tough logistics and high costs — are making changes to keep their new customers in the fold. In September, Blue Apron launched Heat & Eat meals, its first-ever prepared meals that can be quickly reheated. And in July, Hello Fresh launched Hello Fresh Market, which lets customers order fresh produce and grocery items along with their kits.

Total U.S. meal kit sales $12 billion

PUBLIC NOTICE The Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in December of 2004 incorporated several changes in regard to local district responsibilities/requirements for the provision of services to parentally-placed private school children with disabilities. • The term “parentally-placed private school student” refers to children placed by their parents in private, parochial or other religiously-affiliated schools or home schools. Due to these changes in IDEA the Trenton R-IX School District will offer information to all officials of private schools and parents of parentally-placed private school children, including some home schooled children, within the Trenton R-IX School District. Due to District policy for the 2021-2022 school year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no in person meeting, but if you would like information regarding the IDEA changes, please contact Tara Hoffman, Director of Special Services for the Trenton R-IX District, at 660359-2003. If interested in information, Tara Hoffman, Trenton R-IX Director of Special Services, will explain how, where and by whom special education and related services can be provided for students with disabilities who are privately placed in non-public school settings within the Trenton R-IX School District. dOct8
