DEATHS

William M. “Mike” Barnes William M. “Mike” Barnes, 72, won his battle with cancer on Friday, Aug. 6, 2021 at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. He is now resting in the comfort of his heavenly home.

Born July 7, 1949 in Trenton to William “Bill” and Ruth Towns Barnes, Mike graduated from Trenton High School in 1967 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from University of Missouri–Rolla in 1971.

After college, Mike worked for the Army Corps of Engineers on construction projects throughout Kansas and Missouri.

He married the absolute love-of-his-life, Audrey Thaemert (nee Peterson) in 1974, and helped to found Faith Lutheran Church in Warsaw, before moving to Kansas City. After 33 years of service to the Army Corps of Engineers, Mike retired in Wakefield, KS before moving to Wharton, TX. Mike loved his wife of 47 years with all his heart. He loved Jesus and junk food, his kids, grandkids, square-dancing, hunting, fishing and friends. He loved fixing stuff, leaving tools around the yard and starting new projects. Mike never knew a stranger and put others before himself time and time again. Whether it was donating blood, using his expertise as an engineer to help a friend or mentoring foster children, Mike left this world better than he found it.

Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Ruth Towns Barnes and a niece, Mesha Barnes.

Mike is survived by his wife, Audrey

Barnes; father, William “Bill” Barnes; daughter Holly and her husband, Dwayne Dornak; sons Christopher and Douglas “Lee” Barnes; daughter Katie Barnes and her partner, Darius Gray; grandchildren Skylar, Cadence and Luke Dornak, Christopher Jr., Brett, Christian, Hailey, Douglas Jr., Tyler and Brighton Barnes, Anna Scanlan, Anthony Salyer, Darius Jr. and Kaylynn Gray; great-granddaughter Huxleigh Barnes; a sister, Dianne and her husband, Michael Moulin; brothers Robert Barnes and Douglas Barnes and his wife, Kyle; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

The family invites you to remember Mike by joining them for a come-and-go celebration of his life at the home of Dwayne and Holly Dornak, 619 County Road 420, El Campo, TX 77437 on Friday, Aug. 13 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug.14, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 614 Pecan Street, Wharton, TX 77488. Mike will be laid to rest in a private burial service.

The Central States Judges Association was founded in 1959 in northern Illinois as an alternative to the pageantry judging organizations in place at the time in the drum corps activity. It was the first major adjudicators’ association to require training and examinations for judges, and many of its members were later involved in the founding and eventual growth of DCI. As the number of high school marching band contests increased, CSJA migrated to that activity, and today CSJA sends quality adjudicators to marching band contests and other pageantry events across the United States.

1990’s, his seventh grade mathematics students scored at the top of all students on the MMAT’s. He was also honored to sing the introduction of Chubby Checkers’ “Let’s Do The Twist” while Donalyn Crowley and Shari Wyatt danced at a middle school spring concert.

Many changes occurred during his tenure at Trenton and perhaps the most notable was the sale of the former THS/Adams Middle School building and consequentially the combination of the high school and middle school campuses, and the integration of technology at all levels from Pre-K through 12th grade.

Coaching young athletes was a large part of Moore’s life. For 28 of his 31 years in education, George coached many sports: seventh and eighth grade football, seventh and eighth grade basketball, seventh and eighth grade track, freshman basketball, junior varsity football, assistant varsity football, varsity boys and girls basketball and varsity track. George liked working with young athletes and he loved sports. The highlight of his career in Trenton was being a member of the coaching staff that beat Chillicothe – TWICE! In addition to his coaching and teaching, George valued his commitment to the First Christian Church – Disciples of Christ. A life-long member, he has served as elder, deacon, board president, Sunday school teacher, choir member and sound system operator. He currently drives the church van.

George’s interests fill his days since retirement. He is president of the Trenton Lions Club, president of the Friendship Place Apart-

ment Board and a member of the Grundy County Museum Board. For 11 years, he has enjoyed farming with his good friend and high school classmate, Jim Binney. An avid NASCAR fan, George has attended races at Charlotte, Texas, Phoenix and Kansas.

George’s greatest pride and joy are his family.

Married to wife, Kay for almost 22 years, he has three daughters: Kari Whitaker (David), Kristi Campbell (Rob) and Kelli Griffith (Phil), a stepdaughter, Lindsey Jacobs (Joe), and a stepson, Tom Lattimore (Claudia). In addition, he is blessed with 11 grandchildren and one greatgrandson.

“I feel very honored to be selected by the Class of 1996,” he said when notified of his selection as the 2021 honoree. “I have enjoyed watching them develop from middle school youth to young adults in high school.”

George believes the annual Alumni Reunion is so important and he enjoys seeing former students.

“It is always special for me to be reunited with former students during this weekend, whether they have made a home in Trenton or have come back for a visit.”

George appreciates the volunteers who have made and maintained the Alumni Association and made Trenton’s Alumni Weekend one of the best celebrations in the country for class reunions.

“Those dedicated volunteers are vital to keeping the ‘spirit of support’ ongoing. I encourage all generations of recent graduates to commit themselves to the support of future alumni celebrations,” he said.

THS Alumni will gather on Labor Day Weekend for the traditional alumni events.

NATIONAL

Left And Right Getting Pushback On Infrastructure Deal WASHINGTON (AP) — Often elusive, the political center is holding steady in the Senate as a coalition of Democratic and Republican senators brushes off critics to push the $1 trillion infrastructure package toward final passage.

On the left, the Democrats have withstood the complaints of liberals who say the proposal falls short of what’s needed to provide a down payment on one of President Joe Biden’s top priorities.

From the right, the Republicans are largely ignoring the criticism from their most conservative and farflung voices, including a barrage of name-calling from former President Donald Trump as he tries to derail the package.

All told, some 70 senators appear poised to carry the bipartisan infrastructure bill to passage, a potentially robust tally of lawmakers eager to tap the billions in new spending it will unleash for public works projects back home.

“This is something that brings this country together,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a lead negotiator. “We need the investment, let’s be honest.”

Senators hoisted the package over another hurdle late Sunday, easily clearing a remaining 60vote threshold on a vote of 68-29, despite a few holdouts trying to run out the clock on debate and drag final passage to Tuesday.

The measure would then go to the House.

“A very handsome, overwhelming vote,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The rare bipartisan momentum reflects a political power center that has sprung from the middle of the aisle in the narrowly split Congress. For weeks, senators have negotiated and shaped the package, overcoming partisan gridlock for a compromise with the Biden White House. A bipartisan group of House lawmakers has pledged its own support.

Backed by Biden and a sizable coalition of business, farm, labor and public interest groups, the package is one of the biggest investments of its kind in years. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act seeks to inject nearly $550 billion in new spending on roads, bridges, broadband internet, water pipes and other public works systems undergirding the nation.

Some 20 Republican senators are poised to join Democrats in supporting support it.

“Look at the players,” said Sen. Richard Burr, RN.C. “These are not the fringes of both parties.”

Once voting wraps up, senators immediately will turn to the budget outline for a $3.5 trillion package of child care, elder care and other programs that is a much more partisan undertaking and expected to

draw only Democratic support.

Despite the momentum, action ground to a halt over the weekend when Sen. Bill Hagerty, a Tennessee Republican allied with Trump, refused to speed up the process.

Hagerty, who had been Trump's ambassador to Japan, argued for taking as much time as needed for debate and amendments, in part because he wants to slow the march toward Biden's $3.5 trillion bill aimed at so-called soft infrastructure.

Trump called Hagerty on Sunday morning, said a person familiar with the call who requested anonymity to discuss it. Hagerty said later Sunday he was trying to prevent a “socialist debt bomb” of new government spending.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has so far allowed the bill to progress, calling the bill “a compromise.”

Senators have spent the past week processing nearly two dozen amendments to the 2,700-page package, but so far none has substantially changed its framework.

More amendments have been offered on cryptocurrency, defense-related in-

frastructure and to allow states to repurpose a portion of their untapped federal COVID-19 relief aid for infrastructure. But it's unclear if they will be considered for votes.

Senators have found much to like in the bill, even though it does not fully satisfy liberals, who view it as too small, or conservatives, who find it too large.

An analysis of the bill from the Congressional Budget Office drew concerns, particularly from Republicans after concluding the legislation would increase deficits by about $256 billion over the next decade.

Unlike Biden's bigger $3.5 trillion package, which would be paid for by higher tax rates for corporations and the wealthy, the bipartisan package is funded by repurposing other money, and other spending cuts and revenue streams. The bill’s backers argued that the budget office was unable to take into account certain revenue streams — including from future economic growth.

The House is expected to consider both Biden infrastructure packages when it returns from recess in September.

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg.

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 THERE’S STILL A CRISIS AT THE BORDER No, it hasn’t gotten better.

No, this Administration doesn’t have it “under control.”

I know I sound like a broken record, but as unbelievable as it sounds, this “seasonal influx” has shown no signs of slowing down.

Usually, illegal immigration slows down in the hot summer months as the long journey across Mexico becomes increasingly difficult.

Not this year. The monthslong crisis at our southern border is still getting worse.

At the same time, we keep learning more and more about what’s really going on down there. The city of McAllen, Texas has reported that some 7,000 COVID-19 positive immigrants have been released into their town since mid-February—with 1,500 being released in just the last week.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, one small snapshot of what’s happening in one border town. It’s indicative of

a much larger problem though. With the out-of-control crisis raging at the border, these illegal immigrants are being packed into overcrowded facilities with littleto-no social distancing.

In effect, this border crisis has morphed into a massive COVID-19 super spreader.

While the Administration is busy issuing mandate after mandate on American citizens, it seems the only people exempted are those breaking the law and coming to this country illegally. It’s madness.

I’ve said it a million times now, but the solution to this crisis isn’t difficult. It’s staring us right in the face. When illegal immigration surged in 2019, President Trump took decisive action to enforce our laws, build the wall, and negotiate the Remain in Mexico policy which kept immigrants in Mexico until they were approved to enter the United States and kept illegal

immigrants out.

Unfortunately, this Administration has done everything they can to reverse all that progress, in the middle of a global pandemic no less.

They’ve ended the successful Remain in Mexico policy, they’ve reinstituted catch-and-release on a massive scale, and they’re paying billions to contractors to NOT finish construction of the border wall. They’ve chosen to play politics instead of rising above the political noise to solve this crisis.

It isn’t that hard, and it shouldn’t be a political issue.

This crisis benefits virtually nobody, especially not the illegal immigrants being trafficked, exposed to the harsh elements of the journey here, and crammed into overcrowded facilities all while traveling with others that have COVID-19. In fact, the only beneficiaries of this Administration’s open border policies seem to be the Mexican drug cartels that are taking advantage of the crisis to flood our country with record amounts of deadly drugs like Fentanyl.

Enough is enough. It’s time to finish the wall. It’s time to secure our border. It’s long past time we ended this crisis.

Dear Annie: I want to know why people think it's OK to harass and abuse other people. My ex brought his girlfriend home, and they spent the night in the garage.

That was when we were still married.

Then he took my 5-yearold daughter out on dates with the girlfriend, and he abused and harassed me for a year to try to get me to abandon the house and my daughter so he wouldn't have to pay child support.

During this ordeal, I was ripped off by a lawyer who knew my ex was harassing me and did nothing. My ex and the girl are not together anymore, but I later found out that the girlfriend was hitting my daughter on her hands to punish her when she did something wrong.

I just don't get why there are horrible people in the world who do awful things and don't think they've done anything wrong. It is not unusual for them to turn the situation on you, acting as if you deserved it.

After all this, I'm done with men. I don't even date.

It ain't worth it. I talk to people on chat sites, and they tell me they don't date for the

same reasons. Being alone in this day and age is just the better way to go. I feel so broken and empty inside; no one would want me anyway.

I am ruined, and no one seems to care.

So, I just want to know -why?! -- Someone Who Just Wants to Know Why Dear Know Why: Hurt people hurt people. Whether they were hurt when they were children and are repeating the same patterns or they were hurt when they were adults -- it doesn't matter where the meanness came from. Being cruel to other human beings never feels good in the long run.

I'm not sure that making blanket statements, such as saying that you are finished with dating forever, is going to make you feel better in the long run. Just commit to only surrounding yourself with people who lift you up and have your best interests at heart. I would also let your ex know that his ex-girlfriend is never allowed to be around your daughter again.

Child abuse is a serious crime and needs to be treated as such.

deal with people who seem to be critical of my ailment or who think there is nothing wrong with me.

This all started when I was 25 and hurt myself at work.

That was followed by failed lower back surgery. My injuries are not visible at all.

I'm 52 now and still get the looks. I have had the police called several times for parking with my handicapped placard because people have doubted my injury.

It is extremely embarrassing and hurtful. However, I look at it like this: Those same people who give me looks or make snide remarks are the ones who would not think twice about using anything that was offered to them if they were handicapped.

Here's another thing to think about: By denying yourself the help you need, you are not allowing yourself the best care possible, nor are you truly taking care of yourself. If you are disabled, YOU must always come first. As the penguins from "Madagascar" would say, "Just smile and wave, boys; just smile and wave." - Surviving and Living Life with a Disability Dear Living Life with Disability: Thank you for sharing your perspective. I hope it empowers others to smile and wave.

Natural gas heats up Natural gas prices are pushing to nearly three-year highs, and record heat across the U.S. has made it necessary to burn the fossil fuel to keep up with Americans’ electrical needs. Investors expect natural gas to remain high for the foreseeable future.

Natural gas is trading at about $4.14 per 1,000 cubic feet, its highest level this year and its highest level since late 2018.

Like a lot of other commodity producers, natural gas extracting companies have been slow to return to normal levels of production since the pandemic. This has led natural gas inventories to be down

16% from a year earlier, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Natural gas is the United States’ go-to fuel when it needs to up its electrical production for air conditioning or to burn it to heat homes across the country. Natural gas prices are typically higher in the winter due to heating needs in much of the U.S. As long as production remains below pandemic levels, analysts expect prices for natural gas to remain elevated, particularly as the country heads into the cooler months in the second half of the year.

Megan Taul, right, was recognized as a Paul Harris recipient and was presented with a pin by her uncle, Don Purkapile, who made a Paul Harris monetary donation to Rotary International on her behalf.

Paul Harris designation recognizes individuals for their commitment to the ideals of Rotary and its motto, “Service Above Self.”

Life Options Is Rotary Topic Rachel Brotherton, executive director of Life Options Green Hills, presented the program at the Thursday, Aug. 5 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room.

Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Steve Taylor was sergeant at arms. Tom Witten introduced the program.

Life Options, located in Trenton, has a goal of being the client’s “first choice for information” regarding pregnancy decisions. The facility opened in July of 2020 and has served 67 women and six men from throughout the Green Hills area with various services. All services are offered at no cost to the client.

The club will meet at noon on Thursday, Aug. 12 with the program to be announced.

Trenton native Mike Arnold, a long-time attorney, Boy Scout leader and resident of Gallatin has been honored by the Pony Express Council as a recipient of the Silver Beaver Award.

The award is the highest form of recognition that a council can bestow on a volunteer. It is made for noteworthy service of exceptional character by registered Scouters within the jurisdiction of the Pony Express Council.

Although presentation is made by the Council, all nominations submitted must be approved by the National Court of Honor before the award can be presented. Only those persons who have been nominated by their Scouting peers are considered by the local council. The award may not be applied for personally.

Arnold grew up in Trenton, where he earned the Eagle Scout award at the age of 12 in 1963 as a member of Troop 97. With degrees from William Jewell College and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, Mike has practiced law with offices in Gallatin and Trenton for 45 years, including 15 years as Daviess County Prosecuting Attorney.

Mike and his wife, Linda, live in Gallatin and are the parents of two Eagle Scouts, Jonathan and Phillip.

He has served on numerous boards and committees, including the Da-

viess County Board for the Developmentally Disabled since its inception and has been a member of the Trenton Kiwanis Club for 45 years.

His lifelong hobby is music, having taught guitar for over 50 years and having performed at events all over the area with his wife, Linda.

His adult service to Scouting began in 1995 when Linda and he served as group coaches for Tiger Cubs. They continued to serve as den leaders for seven years. Mike served as pack committee chairman and later, troop committee chairman for Gallatin Troop 67, a post he still holds. He is a 23-year camper at Camp Geiger and is a Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. A mainstay at district merit badge colleges, Mike has counseled merit badges in the areas of citizenship, music and law. He also created a seminar for Life Scouts to begin and complete the Eagle packet, application and project. He was awarded the District Award of Merit in 2014.

As an adult Scouter, Mike’s greatest reward is helping Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle. For his efforts, he has been presented numerous mentor pins. For each new Eagle who Mike has helped, he writes a personal poem with the hope it will inspire the Scout to continue to achieve great things in their life and to always serve others.

Mike will receive his award in a
