The Princeton R-5 Board of Education held a special meeting on Thursday where it reached an agreement in terms and conditions for a new elementary school principal. Wes Guilkey, the current K12 principal at Mercer, agreed to a two-year contract with the Princeton district. Guilkey will begin his duties officially on Aug. 1. “I feel very blessed to be chosen as the leader for the Princeton R-5 elementary school,” Guilkey said. “My passion is working with elementary students and teachers and creating an environment where both students and teachers flourish. I look forward to building relationships with the students and staff of Princeton elementary and continuing to build on the success that the school has had thus far.” Guilkey received his Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Central Missouri in 2007. He received his Master of Education in School Leadership from Dordt College in 2016 and received his Education Specialist from Northwest Missouri State University in 2021. He began his teaching career in the Tina-Avalon School District where he taught first grade for three years before moving to Mercer. He originally served as an upper elementary English-language arts instructor for two years before taking on the principal position — which he has occupied for the past five years. He has served on the Princeton High School football staff for the past several sea-

sons through the school’s cooperative agreement with Mercer. Guilkey emerged as the top choice and candidate for the district after his interview last week. Princeton interviewed four finalists from the application pool for the position and approved Guilkey by a 5-2 vote. His contract terms were approved by a 7-0 vote for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years with a base salary of $68,000. Guilkey, his wife Lauren, and three children live near Ravanna. The Princeton elementary principal position became vacant due to the retirement of current Principal Dana Seymour. Mrs. Seymour is retiring after 30 years in education. She accepted the position of junior high-high school principal at Princeton in 2013 before moving to her current position as elementary principal the following year. “I have been blessed to have worked with so many amazing teachers and students during my career in education and will truly miss the students and staff at Princeton R-5,” Mrs. Seymour said.

A season ago the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team found themselves fighting for a national tournament berth in a district full of nationally ranked teams. Due to COVID, the Pirate women were moved East to a district featuring eventual national champion Lake Land Community College, who was ranked third at the time. Despite a No. 10 national ranking, North Central saw its season end in the district championship game. “We have used last year’s loss as motivation all season,” North Central head coach Jenni Croy said. “After winning the region we talked about not being satisfied with just getting to this district championship again. We revisited that feeling of walking off the floor last year as Lake Land celebrated. We wanted that to be us celebrating.” With 2022 came a return to normalcy in the realm of the NJCAA. Another Region 16 championship placed North Central back into its traditional district format where they would face off with the Region 2 champion from Arkansas with a trip to the national tournament on the line. Perhaps as atonement for the way things fell last season, the Pirates’ opponent Saturday in the Central Plains District championship was Southern Arkansas University Tech, an unranked team that had eliminated a pair of nationally ranked teams on its way to the Region 2 title. The 17th-ranked Pirates had little trouble with the un-ranked Rockets, routing their foes 87-54 to punch their ticket to the NJCAA Division II National Tour-

nament for the fourth time in the program’s history. NCMC landed a big blow in the first quarter, taking control, but SAU Tech responded with a near equal run in the second quarter to cut the Pirates’ lead to 41-39 at the break. “We put in a matchup, amoeba-type zone this past week knowing we may not be able to guard [SAU Tech] in man,” Croy said. “They hit a couple corner threes and we weren’t rotating quite right so we went man. Then they went on their run. At half, we talked about guarding the ball screens differently in man and then coming out of the locker room [assistant coaches] Lesli [Collins] and Salem [Croy] pulled me aside and said ‘go back to the zone’ so we drew up how to defend the ball screen in the zone and with two minutes left on the halftime clock we pulled the girls in and made that adjustment.”

This time when North Central went on a run there was no response from the visitors. The Pirates piled up points down the stretch, aided by three technical fouls from a frustrated Rockets’ team, going on to take a once competitive game by 30-plus points. “We discussed we needed to get ‘stop scores’ and leave no doubt about winning this game,” Croy said. “The first five minutes of the second half was key for us. We came out in the press and they executed to a ‘T’. We knew we had to control the boards as well and the girls really boxed out well. We played really well together in the second half and the girls hit some big shots.” North Central saw all five starters reach double figures with Region 16 player of the year Nora Ford leading the charge. The Pirate point guard scored a team-high 21 points, adding seven re-

bounds, six assists and four steals in the win. Angel Wiggins followed with 17 points and Kennadie Crowe added 16 points with three assists. Jasmine Taylor had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Maci Moore rounded out the Pirates’ double-digit performers with 11 points and eight rebounds. With the win, North Central improved to 24-5 overall on the season. The Pirates will now await the NJCAA Division II National Tournament, which will be held March 15-19 in Port Huron, MI. “Our goal for the National Tournament is to show we belong there,” Croy said. “It’s a tough slate of teams, but I know this group can compete with anyone there. We are excited to get this opportunity.” Seedings for the tournament will be announced today (Tuesday) at 3 p.m.

MARSHFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A southwestern Missouri school district that struggles to fill teacher vacancies plans to go to a four-day week starting next fall. The Springfield NewsLeader reports that the Marshfield district is among at least nine in Missouri planning to switch to the shorter week in the fall, pushing the total number of districts in Missouri using the truncated schedule to a record 128 — 25% of the state's school districts. Marshfield Superintendent Mike Henry said the change will mean hourly pay rates will rise substan-

tially. Marshfield has enrollment of 3,100 students, making it the secondlargest district in the state to go to a four-day week. Henry said the district has struggled to fill jobs. He noted that in 2016, the district received 313 applications for four elementary openings. Four years later, it received just 27 applications for five openings. Missouri lawmakers granted districts the flexibility to adopt four-day weeks in the middle of an economic downturn. The Kansas City-area district Lathrop was the first to switch, in 2010. republican-times.com republican-times.com republican-times.com

Police: Student Shoots, Wounds Two At Kansas High School OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A student shot and wounded an administrator and a school resource officer Friday at a suburban Kansas City high school, and the student also was wounded when the officer returned fire, authorities said. The male student at Olathe East High School was taken into custody, Olathe police Sgt. Joel Yeldell said, and all three are expected to survive. No other students were injured, he said. Police have not identified the suspect. Yeldell said the school resource officer notified dispatch over the radio just after 10:30 a.m. that he and an administrator had been shot and wounded by a student in the office. The resource officer said he returned fire, according to Yeldell, shooting and wounding the student. “I’ve been shot,” the resource officer told dispatchers on radio traffic captured by Broadcastify.com. The officer then said he had applied a tourniquet to himself and that the suspect's firearm had been secured, The Kansas City Star reported. The dispatcher responded: “We got a lot of help headed that way.” The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office identified the resource officer on Twitter as Erik Clark, who has 15 years of service and seven years as a

school resource officer. Yeldell did not provide additional information on what prompted the shooting. “The good news is that no students were injured,” Yeldell said at a news conference. “We have an SRO it sounds like that did his job so that's great news and the injuries are expected to be survivable.” Yeldell said the student is an adult. The county prosecutor's office declined to comment Friday on potential charges. Overland Park Regional Medical Center said in a statement that one of the three people wounded is in critical condition. The other two have been discharged. The statement said the families are requesting privacy. Susan Burgett told The Associated Press she was panicked when she heard about a shooting at the school of her 16-year-old daughter, Emerson Burgett. Her daughter texted immediately to tell her she was safe. “The first thought was to panic and imagine that there is a shooter in the hallway and kids screaming but that wasn’t what happened thank God,” she said while waiting to be reunited with her at the staging site. “That is just what we are used to seeing. There are so many shootings all the time that it is such a sad reality

that this is what we have to live with." She said her husband was concerned their daughter would have a panic attack but she didn't think that would happen because “the kids just expect this. They hear about it all the time.” “It’s terrifying but at the same time I want to see my child. That is the main thing.” Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene to help with the investigation. No information was immediately available on the type of firearm used, said John Ham, a spokesman for the ATF in Kansas City. He added that police would release those details when they are available. Olathe Public Schools said in a tweet that Olathe East High School, which has an enrollment of 1,900, was put on lockdown after the shooting. “Please know that law enforcement is on site and the building is secured," the district said. Police asked parents and the public to stay away from the school and had them pick up their children elsewhere. The district also said it was making counselors available.

Sheriff: 4 of 7 From Same Family Killed In Iowa Tornadoes WINTERSET, Iowa (AP) — Four of the seven people killed in devastating storms that tore through central Iowa were members of the same family who had sought shelter inside a home that was razed by a powerful tornado, authorities said. Two children, their father and their grandmother all died when a tornado hit the grandmother’s home near rural Winterset on Saturday afternoon, Madison County Sheriff Jason Barnes told television station KCCI. The children and their parents, from Blue Springs, Missouri, were visiting their grandmother, Melissa Bazley, 63, when the tornado hit. The storm killed Bazley, 37-year-old Michael Bolger and two of his three young children, 5-year-old Kenley Bolger and 2-year-old Owen Bolger. A GoFundMe page for the family says Kuri Bolger, who is the children’s mother and Bazley’s daughter, was hospitalized after being seriously injured. Other members of the family who had sought shelter in the home's pantry also were injured. Two others killed in the tornado — Rodney Clark, 64, and Cecilia Lloyd, 72 — lived in homes just down the street from Bazley that were also hit by the tornado that was rated an EF-3, with peak winds of 138 mph (222 kph), by the National Weather Service. The seventh death came from Lucas County, about 54 miles (87 kilometers) southeast of Des Moines, when a separate tornado struck less than an hour later, injuring several other people. The state Department of Natural Resources said that person who died was in an RV at a campground at Red Haw State Park in Chariton, Iowa. The storms that raked Iowa on Saturday were the deadliest to occur in the state since May 2008, when one tornado destroyed nearly 300 homes and killed nine people in the northern Iowa city of Parkersburg. Another tornado a month later killed four boys at the Little Sioux Boy Scout ranch in western Iowa. Saturday's storms damaged or destroyed other homes and downed power lines and trees, causing some power outages. The tornadoes were followed by winter storms overnight Sunday into Monday that dropped about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of snow in central Iowa and 6.5 inches (16.5 centimeters) in Mount Vernon in eastern Iowa. The snow prompted officials to cancel Monday's planned storm cleanup efforts after hundreds of volunteers helped out on Sunday. The cleanup was expected to resume Tuesday, but more snow is in the forecast for Thursday, which could cause additional delays. Elsewhere, the National Weather Service said the storms generated an EF-1 tornado in southeastern Wisconsin near Stoughton that included winds up to 80 mph. The storm flattened trees, snapped power poles and blew out windows in homes. No injuries were reported. One expert estimated the storms Saturday likely caused more than $1 billion damage altogether.

ACROSS MISSOURI Missouri Performer Gets Probation In Charity Scam BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — A performer in the Missouri tourist town of Branson who convinced his audiences to donate thousands of dollars to a fake charity for foster children has been sentenced to five years of probation. James Patrick Garrett, a 65-year-old best known for his John Denver tribute, also was ordered to pay $82,000 in restitution when he was sentenced Friday for wire fraud, the Springfield News-Leader reported. He entered a guilty plea last year. Authorities have said Garrett devised the scheme in 2012 by creating a company named Diamond Jym Ranch, making himself the president and a member of its board of directors. The enterprise purported to provide housing, education, food and other needs to displaced or homeless children. But prosecutors said Garrett used the donated money to eat out, pay off credit cards and pay rent and taxes. Garrett was initially supposed to be sentenced in January, but Judge Roseann Ketchmark asked for a continuance to allow the government to explore whether or not some of the money Garrett owed could be donated to a charity. After some research, it was determined that roughly $52,000 of the restitution money would be paid to FosterAdopt Connect, an organization that works in Missouri and Kansas to help kids and families navigate the foster care system. The rest of the restitution money will be paid directly to Garrett’s victims who dropped cash or checks in a donation box after Garret’s shows.

Ex-Kansas City Detective Sentenced To 6 Years In Man's Death KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former Kansas City police detective was sentenced Friday to six years in prison for fatally shooting a Black man who was backing a pickup truck into a garage, but he will remain free on bond while his conviction is appealed. Eric DeValkenaere, 43, was convicted in November of seconddegree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of 26-year-old Cameron Lamb on Dec. 3, 2019. Jackson County Circuit Court Presiding Judge J. Dale Youngs sentenced DeValkenaere, who is white, to three years for involuntary manslaughter and six years for armed criminal action, with the sentences to run at the same time. Prosecutors had recommended that he be sentenced to nine years. Youngs, who convicted DeValkenaere after a bench trial, ruled in February that he could remain free while his conviction is appealed. DeValkenaere’s attorney, Molly Hastings, argued before the sentencing that the former detective had led an exemplary life and had an outstanding career, as evidenced by testimony from his

family, friends, former colleagues and by hundreds of letters of support sent to the judge. She said there was no evidence that DeValkenaere intended to shoot Lamb when he went onto the property, and he did so only to protect his partner, Troy Schwalm. “(Schwalm) is alive today because of the decision,” Hastings said. The judge previously said he had never in 13 years on the bench allowed a defendant to remain free on bond after a conviction. But he said he didn't believe it would be necessary to jail the former detective without bond to ensure he appeared at future court proceedings. DeValkenaere has been free on $30,000 bond since he was convicted. “Not totally happy about that. But the bottom line is we got the conviction, he’s been sentenced and at some point, he will be going to jail,” said Lamb’s mother, Laurie Bey. Lamb’s stepfather, Aquil Bey, said he hoped the verdict and jail sentence would “shake up” the police department and give people more of a voice in justice. Sean McCauley, one of De-

Valkenaere's attorneys, said in a statement after sentencing that the defense will appeal and will continue to represent the former detective until he is exonerated. He said everything that happened could have been prevented if Lamb had complied with the officers and the law. "His life has been turned upside down. He does not deserve what has happened to him for doing what he thought was necessary to protect his partner," McCauley said. DeValkenaere testified during his trial that he shot Lamb as he was backing his pickup truck into a garage where he lived because Lamb pointed a gun at another detective. The plainclothes detectives had followed Lamb to the property to investigate an earlier report that he had chased his girlfriend in a stolen pickup truck. Youngs said several people who sent letters supporting DeValkenaere or who testified on his behalf Friday made it clear he was a good man with a distinguished law enforcement career. But the judge said DeValkenaere and Schwalm escalated a situation that

had calmed as Lamb decided to stop chasing his girlfriend and drive home. Youngs said the detectives “both, without taking a breath to consider whether there might be a safer action,” rushed onto the property with guns drawn. “At any point, they could have done something else,” Youngs said. Prosecutors alleged a gun found near Lamb's truck after the shooting was planted and the crime scene was staged. They also said the detectives had no reason to be on Lamb's property. When he convicted DeValkenaere, Youngs said the detectives violated Lamb's constitutional rights because they had no probable cause to believe he had committed a crime, had no warrant for Lamb’s arrest and had no search warrant or consent to be on the property. He did not address the allegations that evidence had been planted. DeVlakenaere was suspended from the police force after his conviction and left the force in January. Police have not said if he was fired, resigned or retired.

Missouri American Water Announces $3 Million Water Main Upgrade in South St. Louis County Missouri American Water today announced the start of a $3 million project to replace more than 6,200 feet of water main in St. Louis County along Mattis Road between Tesson Ferry Road and Lemay Ferry Road to improve reliability for customers and reduce service disruptions. The water utility is working in conjunction with St. Louis County to minimize disruptions to the area. Crews will begin installing new eight-inch PVC water main to replace the aging eight-inch cast iron main that was originally installed in the 1940s. “We’re excited to improve water service and keep life flowing to our customers in South St. Louis County by replacing old water mains that are reaching the end of their useful life,” said

Rebecca Losli, Director of Engineering. “Customers will see an uptick in our crews and contractors working around St. Louis County this spring and summer as more pipe replacement projects get underway.” Crews will break ground on Mattis Road the week of March 14. Work will take place Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. until October in three phases: Phase one: Between Langtree Drive and Venarde Drive, crews will replace 2,040 feet of main. Phase two: Between Venarde Drive and Ambs Road, crews will replace 2,035 feet of main. Phase three: Between Ambs Road and Tonga Drive, crews will replace 2,280 feet of main.

Service line transfers and street restoration are expected to be completed by the end of 2022. To view a map of pipe replacement projects in St. Louis County, visit Missouri American Water’s new interactive map. Motorists should use caution when driving in the construction areas and obey traffic signs, detour routes and flaggers. Missouri American Water will provide continuous updates as work occurs.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter from "Concerned CareDaughter," who said she was approaching caregiver burnout. It sounds to me like she is very empathic, and her older sister may have some narcissist traits. Narcissistic traits include being dismissive of other people's points of view and being very controlling. My mother had many strong narcissistic traits, and I had to learn to set boundaries the hard way. I've found healing through understanding by reading books and watching videos on this topic, including on YouTube. I might not have a professional background in this, but I have learned a great deal. Narcissists believe they are special and think they know more than others do. When problems come along, they blame other people because they don't make mistakes (or so they believe). They can be ridiculously defensive. They cannot say phrases like, "You make a good point," or "Thanks for the input," or "I

was wrong," or "Can you help me understand?" Instead, they mismanage anger and can have temper tantrums, or they can be passive-aggressive if you don't agree with them. They don't care how you feel, or how or why you prioritize things the way that you do. Narcissists will wear out their relationships. They're exasperating and frustrating to take care of, so they have a lot of broken, strained and difficult relationships, especially later in life. Empaths, on the other hand, intuitively pick up on other people's feelings. They can deeply understand another person's point of view. They have a passion to be helpful; they are sensitive and are deeply moved by beauty. They love to help the underdog. Empaths tend to be idealists. One of their favorite phrases is, "Why can't we all just get along?" Unfortunately, the narcissist tends to be exploitative and highly controlling. And when they meet an empath, they can think, "Now what can I do with that person that's going to make me feel

better and will help me?" They can try to take advantage of the empath's desire to help people. So it's important for the empath to learn to set boundaries with a narcissist. It won't change the behavior of the narcissist, but the empaths can learn to protect themselves from that behavior and not have the words of a narcissist carry much weight. By doing this, empaths can practice emotional detachment from narcissists, unhooking from caring what they think. They should not let the narcissist define who they are. It's OK to decide how much to do as a caretaker and stick with it. I find phrases like, "That doesn't work for me," and, "Well, it's not going to work out, is it," very helpful. -- Empathic Daughter of a Narcissist Dear Daughter of a Narcissist: I am very sorry that you had a mother like that. But talk about making lemonade out of a lemon. You healed yourself by understanding your mother's way of being and all the while setting boundaries to protect yourself. I commend you fully. Thank you for your letter. I hope it helps other people dealing with narcissists in their lives.

Box office price bump

Some filmgoers may be in for a dark night as a major U.S. chain has begun upcharging for tickets to see “The Batman.” Kansas-based AMC is charging “slightly higher” ticket prices for the Robert Pattinson film which opens this week and is expected to be a major hit, than for other movies playing at the same theater at the same time. AMC has 950 theaters and 10,500 screens around the world. Variable pricing is common in Europe, CEO Adam Aron said on a recent call with analysts. He hinted at other possible changes in the U.S., noting that in Europe, AMC charges more for better seats — just like concerts, live theaters and sports events.

More to watch:

Variable pricing is being introduced to help the movie industry recover from COVID-19 shutdown. AMC’s global receipts from all sources still have a steep road back to pre-pandemic levels.

Of course, in the U.S., there are already some price differences. Matinees are cheaper than evening showtimes, for example. AMC has tried charging more for weekend viewings too. Aron says he expects the domestic box office to double this year. North American ticket sales reached $4.5 billion in 2021, according to ComScore, double the levels from pandemic-stricken 2020 but still down 60% from 2019. The pandemic led studios to send more movies directly to streaming services, bypassing the theater, and has shrunk the number of days that movies play exclusively in theaters.
