TRENTON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BANQUET

Titus Kottwitz believes that being in a familiar environment is an advantage when it comes to this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee. Titus, who will be an eighth grader at Trenton Middle School this fall, is preparing to compete in the preliminary round of the national bee this week after winning the Grundy County Spelling Bee by spelling the word “cymbals” and the Northwest Missouri Regional Spelling Bee by correctly spelling the word “volition.” While in a “normal” year Titus would be traveling to Washington D.C. to stand on the stage with multiple other regional winners, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organizers of the national bee to set up a system of preliminaries. It will consist of three rounds of virtual competition: preliminaries, quarterfinals and semifinals, with those who make it past the semifinals then competing in the finals in person. The top 10 to 12 competitors will compete in the finals at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort on July 8. The finals will air on ESPN 2 during prime time. Titus will begin his trek

Titus Kottwitz

to the finals this week, competing on Saturday, June 12 in a preliminary. He will be participating through a live stream at Trenton Middle School, where he will be proctored by TMS Principal Daniel Gott. The preliminaries will air on ESPN 3 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Even though the setting has changed from past years, Titus says being in a familiar environment is helping him be less nervous about the competition. When he spoke to the Rotary Club after winning regionals, he said when he is in competition and is given a word he tries to determine if it’s one he has heard previously. If he hasn’t, then he asks for the definition as well as the origin of the word. Titus said he has been preparing for the upcoming spelling bee by practicing word lists with his brother, Malachi Kottwitz, who won first place in the fifthgrade competition at TMS, as well as by reading a lot. “This year I hope to make it past preliminaries,” [See TITUS, Page 4]

Hello 7th District: Over the past few weeks I had the pleasure of presenting several courtesy resolutions to constituents. The first one was a long time coming. Due to scheduling conflicts, the presentation had to be postponed a few times but I was finally able to give them their resolution. The Southwest (Livingston County - with Hale and Tina-Avalon) High School Football Team were commended for taking 1st Place at the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) 8-Man Class 1 State Football Championship held November 28, 2020. Very proud of this group of students. The next several resolutions that I gladly presented were for 2020-2021 Chillicothe School District retirees. Thank you all so much for your service to our school district and I wish you all the best in your retirements. Here are some legislative that was passed this legislative session: Improving the Response to Accident and Crime Scenes (SB 53) A provision in SB 53 will give forensic investigators better access to crime and accident scenes and ensure law enforcement can respond rapidly to emergencies. The bill will allow forensic investigators, coroners, and medical examiners to display fixed, flashing, or

rotating red or red and blue lights on their vehicle when responding to a crime scene or accident. The bill is meant not only to increase access and safety for investigators as they respond to the scene, but also to eliminate unnecessary delay for fire, law enforcement, medical, and highway department personnel. Fighting Food Insecurity (HB 432) HB 432 requires the Missouri Department of Social Services to submit a participation plan to the USDA’s Farm to Food Bank Project, which helps get fresh produce to families who struggle with food insecurity. The program allows food banks to collect unharvested agricultural products from farmers’ fields once gleaning is complete. The stipend farmers receive for their leftover crops is paid through federal funds and requires no Missouri taxpayer resources. The bill also allows women and children eligible for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to use their benefits at a local farmers market. Providing Resources for Missourians with Alzheimer’s (HB 432) Another provision in HB 432 will establish the "Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force" in the Department of Health and Senior Services. The task force will assess

and maintain a state plan to overcome the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. It will assess the existing services and resources available for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families and identify opportunities for Missouri to coordinate with federal entities. The task force will deliver a report to the governor and General Assembly by June 1, 2022. Procedures, including software or surveillance companies that secure the building, for public governmental property. Increasing Access to Lifesaving Medication (HB 476) A provision in HB 476 will allow HIV prevention medication to be dispensed by pharmacists without a prescription. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medications, if taken within 72 hours of potential exposure, can prevent patients from becoming HIV positive. If signed by the governor, Missouri will become the second state in the nation after California to allow these medications to be dispensed without a prescription. Pharmacists would operate under an established protocol formed with a licensed physician to distribute the drugs to patients in need, similar to how vaccines are administered in pharmacies across the state.

Donkey On The Run In Same Town That Dealt With Runaway Steer JOHNSTON, R.I. (AP) — The same Rhode Island town that had to deal with a runaway steer earlier this year is now investigating reports of a donkey on the loose. The donkey was first spotted in Johnston at about 7 p.m. Sunday near the town line with Scituate. It was reported again at about 8:30 p.m., but when police arrived at the scene it was gone, Chief Joseph Razza said. WJAR-TV shared video captured by a motorist that showed the donkey trotting down a street as cars whizzed past. “Here we go again,” Mayor Joseph Polisena told WPRO radio on Monday morning, saying he was concerned that the donkey might cause a car crash. No one has reported a missing donkey, but Polisena noted that there are several farms in the area. Animal control will patrol the area where the donkey was last scene, he said. A 1,500-pound (680-kilogram) steer that escaped on its way to a slaughterhouse spent nearly two months on the lam in Johnston until it was captured in late March. Three years ago, three wild turkeys intimidated drivers in town.

Jeff Bezos Riding His Own Rocket In July, Joining First Crew Jeff Bezos will ride his own rocket into space next month, joining the first crew to fly in a Blue Origin capsule. The Amazon founder announced Monday he will launch July 20 from Texas along with his firefighter brother Mark. Also making the 10minute up-and-down hop will be the highest bidder in a charity auction. Bezos is stepping down as Amazon's CEO on July 5 — just 15 days before liftoff — to spend more time on his space company as well as his newspaper, The Washington Post. His stake in Amazon is currently worth $164 billion. “To see the Earth from space, it changes you. It changes your relationship with this planet, with humanity. It’s one Earth,” Bezos, 57, said in an Instagram post. “I want to go on this flight because it’s a thing I’ve wanted to do all my life. It’s an adventure. It’s a big deal for me.” Bezos said he invited his younger brother — his best friend — to share the journey and make it even more

“meaningful.” The flight will officially kick off Blue Origin's space tourism business. The company has yet to start selling tickets to the public or even to announce a ticket price for the short trips, which provide about three minutes of weightlessness. The capsule can hold six people, each with their own large window. The company hasn't said who might occupy the remaining three seats on the debut passenger flight. Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson also plans to launch aboard his own rocket later this year, after one more test flight over New Mexico. SpaceX's Elon Musk — who's transported 10 astronauts to the International Space Station and already sold private flights — has yet to commit to a spaceflight. Blue Origin successfully completed the 15th test flight of its reusable New Shepard rocket in April, with the capsule reaching an altitude of 66 miles (106 kilometers). Before liftoff, a mock crew strapped into the

capsule for practice, then hopped out, paving the way for the upcoming flight with passengers on board. The company's launch and landing site is in remote west Texas, 120 miles southeast of El Paso and close to the Mexican border. After the capsule separates, the rocket lands upright, to be used again. The capsule, also reusable, descends under parachutes. For its first crew launch, the company chose the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. It also used a space anniversary in May to announce an online auction for a seat on the flight — the 60th anniversary of the first U.S. spaceflight by Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard, for whom the rocket is named. The current high bid is $2.8 million. The auction will conclude Saturday, with the winning amount donated to Club for the Future, Blue Origin's education foundation. Nearly 6,000 people from 143 countries have taken part in the auction.

Stores Enlist Shoppers To Stop Bad Behavior Against Workers NEW YORK (AP) — A dozen retailers including Gap and H&M are collaborating on a campaign this fall to enlist customers to combat bad behavior against retail workers. The campaign, spearheaded by nonprofits Open to All and Hollaback as well as the Retail Industry Leaders Association, comes as workers face increased harassment as they try to enforce social distancing and mask protocols during the pandemic. Among those who have been the targets of abuse are people of color, those with disabilities and those who identify as LGBTQ. Calla Devlin Rongerude, director of Open to All, said the

campaign is not asking customers to step in to physically stop altercations, but rather to help de-escalate the situation and show support for workers. Participating retailers will have signage in their stores with QR codes, allowing customers to sign a pledge of support. There will also be a tool kit designed by Hollaback to show how customers can help, including how to create a distraction for the abuser as well as documenting the situation and bringing in someone else to help. Even as the spread of COVID19 slows, retailers fear abusive behavior will worsen as stores anticipate big crowds for the

Trenton Republican-Times 122 E. 8th St., Trenton, MO 64683 • rtimes@lyn.net • 660-359-2212

back-to-school and holiday seasons. With many states and businesses relaxing mask mandates and customers experiencing pandemic fatigue, workers worry about their safety. “There is a lot of ambiguity,” Rongerude said. “People have a lot of fatigue. That is when tempers flare.” The Open to All coalition is made up of about 600,000 businesses, mostly retail establishments, that have collaborated on training and hiring practices. It launched in 2018 with companies like Levi Strauss & Co. and Gap pledging not to discriminate against employees or customers based on race, sexual orientation,

or other characteristics. The movement was spurred by controversies such as florists refusing to provide flowers for gay weddings and stores turning away Muslim customers. The pandemic has since exposed the vulnerabilities of frontline workers. Last September, a group of retailers felt they needed to do something more to protect their employees against discriminatory and racist behavior, Rongerude said. Although these abusive customers are a minority, she said they still have damaging effects on shoppers and workers alike. Emily May, founder of Hollaback, says she has seen a spike in

interest among average citizens as well as corporations wanting bystander training from her organization. Last year, she had 25,000 people sign up for a free one-hour Zoom training, up from 5,000 in 2019. So far this year, 130,000 people have registered. Chris Nelson, senior vice president of asset protection at Gap Inc., said the chain had seen an increase in incidents against store workers of color, though he couldn't disclose a number. “We spent a lot of time with COVID-19 responses, but there was another global pandemic — systemic racism," Nelson said. “It is not OK. That is not part of our values.”

Dear Readers: A great many of you wrote to say that I suggested that yoga and diet can cure depression. In no way, shape or form do I believe that. Depression is a disease like any other and requires medical attention, love and support. I suggested medical counseling in a previous column, but I wish I had been clearer in stating my belief that seeing a doctor for depression is absolutely essential. Here is a sampling of the feedback: Dear Annie: I am writing to comment on the letter from "Blessed and Happy Woman," who lectured us all in an extremely superior manner about how she overcame depression with yoga and dietary changes and some other claptrap. Sounds to me like she was less depressed and more sad. She needs to understand that chemical depression is a very real and harmful thing that cannot be overcome by eating broccoli and doing your platitudes about how amazing you are in the mirror every morn-

ing. In fact, treatment for actual major depressive disorder has about a 65% effective rate, and the remaining 35% just suffer through life until their depression kills them by suicide or disease brought on by the stress and anxiety of depression. Please inform your readers that to implement the "cures" that Blessed and Happy Woman suggested for people actually suffering from depression will end in misery and disaster. I suggest Blessed and Happy Woman study depression and its effects on individuals and families, and perhaps turn her smug condescension into learning how to shut up and listen and understand the perspectives of other people. It's not all about her. -- Educated and Fuming Dear Annie: As one who has suffered from clinical depression my whole life, I feel your response was lacking. What "Blessed" is describing is not much different from the advice of some well-intentioned but

mistaken folks that all depressed ones can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. There are different kinds of depression and depressive episodes. Blessed seems to have entered into her depressed state after her divorce. I applaud her for doing everything she could to help her own mental state. However, for the clinically depressed and those with mood disorders, their depression was not caused by a life event. This depression is not one that goes away with a simple improvement in personal habits. The necessary treatment for one suffering from clinical depression is many times psychological counseling along with antidepressant medications, along with many of the "tips" those trying to be helpful offer. Even with all this, it is still a struggle. I am sad that your response missed the chance to clear this up for those with the mindset of "Blessed." The clinically depressed deserve the dignity of understanding. -Misunderstood by Many Dear Misunderstood: Thank you for your honest and kind email. I hope it helps others who are suffering.

Flying the unfriendly skies Airlines are recovering from the pandemic only to find they’re plagued by an unprecedented scourge of unruly passengers. The Federal Aviation Administration has already taken action against 394 people in 2021, the highest tally in 25 years. Cases are already more than double the number in all of 2020, an historic jump. The figure is also more than double the cases from 2019, when air travel was still untouched by the pandemic. The FAA is taking a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who interferes with, threatens or assaults aircraft crew or fellow passengers.

Recent actions include $15,000 fines for passengers who were belligerent or assaulted crew members. Many of the incidents have stemmed from passengers’ refusals to wear masks. Airlines are also increasingly calling in law enforcement, and in extreme cases banning passengers. Last month, Southwest Airlines called in San Diego Harbor Police who arrested Vyvianna Quinonez and charged her with felony battery after the airline said Quinonez, 28, punched a flight attendant. The flight attendant lost two teeth, the president of her union said.

Mishap On Main Street

No one was injured in an accident investigated Friday morning on the west edge of Trenton. According to Trenton Police Officer Jen Grider’s accident report, the accident occurred as a sport utility vehicle driven by Jeffrey L. Jackson of Trenton was southbound on Main Street while an SUV driven by Christine R. Chaney of Brimson was northbound. Jackson attempted to make a left turn, but failed to yield to Mrs. Chaney’s vehicle, causing a head-on collision. Both vehicles sustained extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene. Jackson was ticketed for failing to yield.

Veterans Programs Cancelled

Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in the area, all veterans service officer activities have been cancelled for the next two weeks. Service officer Wayne Kleinschmidt will be available by phone at 660-3592078.
