There have been some wars waged between the Trenton Bulldogs and LeBlond Golden Eagles on the Carpenter-Bosley Courts in Trenton over the years. The two teams memorably matched up for a sectional dual in 2017 in Trenton — one that came down to the two squads’ number-one players going head-to-head in singles play to determine a winner.

The match-up between the two on Thursday was a far cry from the Bulldogs’ 5-4 win in the state playoffs

five years ago, though. LeBlond is in the midst of a down year while the Bulldogs bring everyone back from last year’s district championship team.

The end result was a 9-0 Trenton victory — one that was never in doubt as the Bulldogs outscored the visitors 72-10 in the nine matches combined.

Trent Villacampa and Bradyn Sager scored an 8-0 doubles victory to get the ball rolling before Jonin Villacampa and Maverick Sole picked up an 8-4 win and Victor Markell and Tucker Otto did the same, winning 8-4 to give Trenton a 3-0 lead going into singles play.

The two 8-4 wins in doubles play looked pretty competitive compared

to how things went in singles play.

LeBlond managed just two points in the singles portion of the daul. Trent Villacampa scored an 8-1 win as did Jonin Villacampa. Otto, Markell, Sole and Sager all won by 8-0 margins in their respective singles matches.

The win leveled Trenton’s season standing at 1-1 overall while LeBlond slipped to an 0-2 start to the year.

One junior varsity match was played where Trenton’s Jacob Horton fell by an 8-4 margin.

The Bulldogs’ tennis team was back on the courts on Monday, traveling to St. Joseph for a dual with the Benton Cardinals. Trenton will be at home today (Tuesday), hosting the Carrollton Trojans. First serves in Trenton are set for 4 p.m.

With no wins to their credit in 2022 and with Princeton holding a perfect record, the Trenton High School baseball team was going to need a lot of things to go right for them to pull off an upset on Friday — even with the game being moved to Trenton due to wet field conditions in Princeton.

After a 10-0 win in six innings for the Princeton Tigers, both teams remained at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Trenton dropped its third straight and, after a 13-1 loss at LeBlond on Saturday, the Bulldogs sit at 04 on the season. Princeton meanwhile, followed up the win in Trenton with a 20 showing at the Mustang Round Robin Tournament at North Nodaway on Saturday, moving to 5-0 on the year.

Trenton and Princeton were scoreless after one frame, but the Tigers took off in the bottom of the second, plating four runs.

Princeton would not have a scoreless frame again after the first inning, adding at least one run in each of the following five frames.

Landon Krohn was the driving force in the Tigers’ lineup, going 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored. Clay Evans had a hit, a run and an RBI and Talan Holt added an RBI and two runs scored.

Princeton also got one hit and one run each from Kelby Thomas, Cooper Boxley and Mason Morris.

In addition to Princeton’s 10 hits, Trenton hurt itself by issuing five walks and committing four errors in the field. That led to six unearned runs.

The four runs Princeton earned would be more than enough, however, as the Tiger pitchers limited the Bulldogs to just two hits coming off the bats of Mason Rongey and Brayden Wiggins.

Holt started for the Tigers and worked three innings, yielding no runs on a single hit and five walks while striking out five.

Morris followed, throwing two frames with no runs allowed on one hit and no walks while striking out three and Boxley fired the final frame, walking one and striking out two to complete the shutout.

Rongey got the start for Trenton, throwing four innings. He allowed six runs, four earned on nine hits and three walks while striking

out two. Luke Schilling threw one inning, allowing four runs, all unearned, on a single hit and two walks while striking out two.

LEBLOND 13, TRENTON 1 Trenton scratched a run across the plate on Saturday in St. Joseph, but the Bulldogs were handed another run-rule loss, this one coming in five innings.

In the top of the4 fourth, Gavin Cagle drove in Gabe Novak for the lone Trenton run at Phil Welch Stadium.

LeBlond got four in the first, but an eight run bottom of the fourth was what fueled the early end to the contest.

Wiggins worked three and two-thirds innings, allowing 10 runs, five of which were unearned due to two more Trenton errors.

He allowed nine hits, walked four and struck out two. Bobby Schreckengaust fired the final onethird of an inning, allowing three runs on four hits with no walks or strikeouts.

Trenton hosted East Harrison on Monday and will host Hamilton today (Tuesday) at 4:30.

MUSTANG ROUND ROBIN TOURNEY Princeton’s offense threw up two more big numbers on Saturday as the Tigers defeated East Atchi-

son 13-4 and host North Nodaway 19-3.

Against East Atchison, Kaleb Thomas and Gavin Power each had two hits and two RBIs. Evans added a hit, two RBIs and two runs.

Krohn was the winning pitcher, allowing four runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out 11 in five innings. Morris followed with two no-hit innings, walking one and striking out four.

Against North Nodaway, Kaleb Thomas was 3-for-3 with four RBIs and three runs scored. Kelby Thomas was 3-for-3 as well with three RBIs and three runs scored. Evan Houk was 2for-2 with an RBI and two runs and Boxley drove in two and scored twice.

Kelby Thomas worked the first two frames, allowing one run on no hits and four walks while striking out two. Boxley threw the third inning, yielding two runs on no hits and six walks while striking out two.

Princeton was at home on Monday, playing host to Gilman City and the Tigers will travel to Brashear today (Tuesday) for a 5 o’ clock first pitch.

Across US, Faith Groups Mobilize To Aid Ukrainian Refugees LOS ANGELES (AP) — As U.S. refugee resettlement agencies and nonprofits nationwide gear up to help Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion and war that has raged for nearly six weeks, members of faith communities have been leading the charge to welcome the displaced.

In Southern California, pastors and lay individuals are stationing themselves at the Mexico border waving Ukrainian flags and offering food, water and prayer. Around the country, other religious groups are getting ready to provide longer-term support for refugees who will have to find housing, work, health care and schooling.

Aaron Szloboda, an assistant pastor at the Christian church Calvary San Diego, recently spent 50 hours straight at the Mexican border handing out food and water to Ukrainians lined up to enter the United States.

Just 10 minutes from the frontier, Calvary San Diego has become something of a hub for newly arrived refugees, a place where they can recuperate after a harrowing journey and plan their next steps.

On Friday its walls were lined with snacks, beverages, dolls and stuffed animals as families arrived clutching duffel bags, suitcases and the hands of small children. They were welcomed inside to rest, eat a meal and check their phones. Volunteers helped them navigate their immediate individual needs: information on flights to New York; how to change euros to dollars; a ride for a friend who had just walked across the border.

Szloboda, whose Hungarian Jewish grandfather survived the Holocaust and lost family members to Nazi genocide, believes he is being called to serve those in dire need: “They’re exhausted physi-

cally and mentally.”

The U.S. has agreed to accept up to 100,000 refugees from Ukraine, which has experienced a flight of more than 4 million people since late February. The Biden administration is also expected to end pandemic-related asylum limits at the U.S.-Mexico border on May 23, caps that have drawn criticism from immigration advocates.

But even before such refugee resettlements begin, faith-based groups have already been helping Ukrainians who have made their way to the United States. Some arrived directly on travel visas.

Others traveled to Mexico and then to the U.S. border to claim asylum, enabling them to stay in the U.S. while their cases are processed.

Refugee resettlement agencies can use all the help they can get to accommodate the influx. Deep cuts during the Trump administration led them to slash staffing and programming, and they have already been scrambling to

help tens of thousands of Afghans seeking asylum after fleeing last year’s Taliban takeover.

“We’ve started dealing with these crises before there has been a chance to rebuild that infrastructure,” said Stephanie Nawyn, associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University who focuses on refugee issues.

“Refugees have a lot of needs — homes, jobs, English classes, financial assistance, schools and translators who will help them navigate all of that.

That’s too much even for a large organization,” Nawyn said. “While getting more people of faith to help is great, not having enough resources or case managers is still going to be a problem.”

Swiftly providing those kinds of protections and benefits to Ukrainian arrivals is a religious imperative, said Mark Hetfield, president and CEO of the Jewish refugee agency HIAS, one of nine groups that contract with the U.S. State Department on resettlement.

A Word From... by the Trenton Ministerial Alliance For Love of the Son

by Joe MacDonald, pastor, Hodge Presbyterian Church “This is my beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased” - Matthew 3:17 Whether real or urban legend the story is told of a wealthy art aficionado and philanthropist who, with his only son, would move from art auction to art auction accumulating a collection of some of the most desired and valuable paintings in the world. Eventually his son was called to serve in England’s army during WWII. In the course of his service the young man was killed in battle and his father never recovered from the grief he felt for the rest of his life.

After the war a knock came at his door and a young man presented the art collector with a picture of his son that he himself had painted. He said that the man’s son had died saving the lives of several soldiers including himself. The old man cherished this rough painting until he died.

After his passing an auction was scheduled for his sumptuous collection and greatest of collectors from all over the world were there to bid on a collection that was worth millions. It was anticipated that this would

be one of the most expensive art auctions ever organized.

At the beginning of the auction the auctioneer had been directed by the man’s will to sell the painting of his son. Boos went through the audience when this “rough worthless” painting was inserted into this prestigious auction. No one would bid on it until one man who happened to be the butler for the art collector with tears running down his cheeks (he had loved the boy almost as much as his father) bid a mere 20lbs which was all he had.

Since no one else had bid the butler got the painting at which point the auctioneer announced, to the shock and chagrin of all those gathered, that the auction was no over. The announcer told everyone that the will clearly states that “whoever gets the son gets the entire estate” Isn’t it amazing that God says the same thing. Whoever receives His Son gets everything God has to give, the entire estate of heaven is the inheritance of all who believe. More than that, those who believe not only inherit the estate but eternal life as well. The Gospel of John says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Missouri Regulates Boarding Schools After Abuse Allegations Maggie Drew’s dad sent her to Circle of Hope Girls’ Ranch in Missouri in 2007, hoping strict Christian teachings would stop his 14-year-old daughter’s teenage rebellion.

Instead, Drew said, she found herself in a nightmare, sexually abused by one of the boarding school's founders and left with permanent spinal injuries after a fall from a hay barn for which she received no medical attention.

Just 25 miles away at another Christian boarding school, Brett Harper says he endured abuse that included staff members stomping on his back. He said his injuries required two spinal surgeries and left him disabled.

They are among dozens of people who say they were abused at either Circle of Hope or Agape Boarding School — allegations that helped prompt a new Missouri law aimed at reining in religious boarding schools that for decades went without any oversight by the state.

“I still have nightmares about these people and the things they did to us,” Drew said.

The founders of Circle of Hope face around 100 charges, some alleging sexual abuse. Agape's doctor is charged with child sex crimes and five employees are accused of assault, though Missouri’s attorney general thinks many more workers should have been charged.

The schools are unrelated and are not affiliated with any particular Christian denomination. But both opened in southwest Missouri under a 1982 state law that gave religious boarding schools free rein and the state no way to monitor how kids were educated. Even the health department had no oversight, including for schools that claimed to address mental health, behav-

ioral and addiction issues.

The new law approved last year followed extensive reporting from The Kansas City Star that found that several faith-based boarding schools, including Agape, relocated to Missouri after being investigated or shut down for abuse or neglect elsewhere.

Legislators heard testimony from former students such as Chanel Mare, who told of girls at Circle of Hope being forced to eat their own vomit; and James Matthew Lawson, who said he was raped at Agape and called “seizure boy” because of his epilepsy.

The Associated Press generally does not name victims of sexual abuse, but Larson and Drew both came forward publicly to discuss the allegations.

Supporters of religious boarding schools say they provide structure to troubled young people. Megan Stokes, executive director of National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, said the wrongdoing alleged at Agape and Circle of Hope is exceedingly uncommon.

Yet unlike Missouri and many other states, her trade association requires state licensing for all of its 150 member schools, including the religious ones. Agape is not a member, nor was Circle of Hope.

Boyd and Stephanie Householder opened Circle of Hope in 2006 in the remote town of Humansville. “We use the BIBLE to teach (girls) that they are to obey their Parents and the authority over them,” the school’s website, which has been taken down, stated.

The school closed amid a 2020 investigation; 25 girls were removed. In March 2021, Boyd Householder, 72, was charged with 79 crimes and Stephanie, 56, was charged with 22.

Sixteen former residents alleged they were restrained with handcuffs, whipped with belts, and punched. Nearly two dozen counts against Boyd Householder accuse him of sexual contact with girls.

Messages left with the Householders' attorney were not returned. In an August interview with the Star, the couple said the accusers made up their stories.

Drew, now 29, said her life was upended when her brother died in a car wreck in 2007. Her grieving father joined a church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Drew said that when she refused to wear a skirt and her grades dropped, church leaders persuaded her dad to send her to Circle of Hope.

“It was absolute torture,” said Drew, who also accused the Householders of stealing a $25,000 inheritance from her.

James Clemensen, a retired California trooper, and his wife, Kathy, started Agape in Stockton, Missouri, in 1990. He told a reporter in 2002 that he picked Missouri because of its lack of regulation. He died in October.

Agape serves 120-150 boys ages 12-17.

Its website says it's a nonprofit school "designed to show God’s love to teen boys struggling with behavior issues that can threaten their future.”

The school remains open. Five staffers were charged in September with abusing students. In December, Dr. David Smock was charged with sexual abuse. He pleaded not guilty in March.

Phone messages left with Agape’s director and Smock's attorney were not returned.

Harper was 14 when he was sent there from his rural Oregon home in 1999. Now 36, he recalled long hours moving large rocks from one pile to another, toting

lumber by hand and clearing land. Harper said his injuries have left him unable to keep a job.

“What I went through at Agape primed me for abusive relationships with people, it primed for being an ignorant young man not knowing the way the world worked, it destroyed my family relationship,” Harper said.

Missouri's new law sets minimum health and safety requirements for boarding schools, which still don't have to be licensed. The law mandates background checks for employees; requires adequate food, clothing and medical care for students; and says parents must be allowed access to their children at any time without prior notice.

After a state investigation last year, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt recommended charges against 22 Agape employees. But in Missouri, only the local prosecutor can file charges, and Cedar County Prosecuting Attorney Ty Gaither does not plan to file more.

“The attorney general has his agenda,” Gaither said. “I’m an experienced prosecutor and I filed what I believe are the appropriate charges.”

James Clidence, who taught math at Agape from 2012 to 2015, said he left after witnessing abuses so concerning that his wife contacted federal, state and local authorities. None would investigate, he said.

“I’m for religious liberty. I’m a pastor.

But at this point we’re talking about children's well-being,” Clidence, who now leads a Baptist church in Maryland, said.

Harper is among those who question whether religious boarding schools will get real scrutiny in Missouri.

“How many things have to happen before they act?” he asked.

MO BRIEFS Braymer Teacher Charged

KINGSTON, Mo. (AP) — A former northwest Missouri teacher and coach has been charged with multiple sexual crimes.

Online court records show that 29-year-old Zachary Douglas, of Utica, is jailed without bond pending an April 7 hearing on 11 felony and seven misdemeanor counts. The charges were filed in two batches over the past two weeks. They include sexual contact with a student, statutory sodomy and furnishing pornographic material.

Court documents allege Douglas, who taught science at Braymer High School and coached football and baseball, sent nude photos and videos to some of his students from July 2021 through last month, WDAF reports.

A female student told a forensic interviewer that Douglas touched her or tried to touch her inappropriately on a bus twice in October. The student said Douglas also called her numerous times into his office, where he would touch her inappropriately.

She also said she received multiple nude photos from Douglas from his Snapchat account, court records say.

Douglas told the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department that the student put his hand on her inappropriately.

Jefferson City Being Sued

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former city councilwoman alleges in a federal lawsuit that Jefferson City officials violated her free speech rights when two paving stones with messages about a Confederate general were removed from city property.

Edith Vogel filed the lawsuit Thursday against the city of Jefferson City and Mayor Carrie Tergin, The Jefferson City News-Tribune reported.

Vogel paid to have two engraved paving stones installed at a new park on a city greenway known as Adrian's Island as part of a fundraising campaign.

The pavers read: “Union Camp Lillie notes: deciding against attack the confederate army under Gen. Sterling Price turned from Jefferson City Oct. 7, 1864.”

The message was similar to one on a another paving stone the city council voted to remove from a roadway last October.

Vogel alleges in the lawsuit that Tergin ordered Vogel’s pavers removed in December because the mayor didn't like the message on them. She also noted the city had not adopted content guidelines for the pavers.

Vogel is seeking to have the pavers reinstalled, along with damages and attorney’s fees.

Tergin was out of the office Friday and unavailable for comment.

Earthquakes Are Reported In

PUXICO, Mo. (AP) — Two weak earthquakes rumbled in southeast Missouri over the weekend, television station KFVS reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded both earthquakes a few minutes apart just before 6:30 p.m. Sunday near Puxico in rural Wayne County, just north of the Missouri Bootheel.

The survey said the first was about 7 miles northwest of Puxico and registered a magnitude 2.2. The second about a mile away registered a magnitude 2.4.

There were no reports of injuries or damage.

DOWN 1 Homebuyer’s concern 2 __ von Bismarck 3 Always pretty in pix

Dear Annie: I am feeling so conflicted. My niece, "Melanie," is getting married in June. Melanie is paying for her own wedding, with a little from her mom. She's 31 now and was 5 when her parents (my brother and his wife) divorced.

Long story short, things are acrimonious between Melanie and her dad, and she's decided not to invite him to the wedding. Her dad's children from another marriage, her half-sister (who she hasn't met yet) and half-brother, are not invited either. She says that it would be awkward for them to be there without their father, and they are not old enough to drive.

Everyone else on our side of the family is invited.

I agree with her that my brother would not just drop his kids off and leave; he would make a scene. I get both sides, but hate that I am in between. My brother does not know he will not be invited. She just isn't telling him. He asks me, "Did you get an invite?"

sive situations only to do things, consciously or unconsciously, that send them back into the situation they were familiar with, even if that situation was extremely uncomfortable. For example, habitual tardiness or other things that cause them to lose the job that allows them financial independence. The writer mentions having heard that graduate school will be virtually impossible to succeed at if you're not fully committed. I would like to warn the writer, once he or she does manage to achieve independence, to be fully committed to being independent. Please keep your guard up against behaviors that would necessitate returning to the parents' control. And believe me, the parents will use every trick in the book to try to make sure they don't lose control of their child, never mind that the child is actually an adult. -- Retired Social Worker Dear Retired Social Worker: I'm printing your letter because your professional insights are on the mark. Too often we bring the traps of our past with us, whether we want to or not. Therapy offers a place where we can leave them behind.

Almost free funds Fees keep dropping for mutual funds, making big winners of investors.

Stock funds kept just $47 of every $10,000 invested in them last year to cover their expenses, according to the Investment Company Institute, a trade group. That’s down from $50 a year earlier and from $104 a quarter century ago.

The trend is similar across all kinds of funds, including bond funds and hybrid funds that invest in a mix of stocks and bonds. Industry fees are expressed as the percentage of a fund’s assets that go toward expenses. Average bond

fund expense ratios fell to 0.39% last year from 0.42% a year before and 0.84% in 1996.

The soaring popularity of index funds, which simply track indexes such as the S&P 500, deserve much of the credit. Instead of trying to beat the market, they compete by offering low expenses.

The fastest declines last year came for actively managed funds, the ones trying to pick winners and losers. They still tend to charge more than index funds as a group, but their expense ratios are continuing to come down while index funds’ fees are already close to zero.
