Croy has ‘it’ Local Talent Will Perform At Black Silo Winery On Saturday, Sept. 25 BY RONDA LICKTEIG R-T EDITOR

ome people just have “it” - “it” being that combination of talent, drive, work ethic and charisma - to be successful in everything they set their mind to doing. But Trenton resident Salem Croy has something a lot of successful people lack - humility. If you don’t know her well or haven’t seen her videos on social media, you might not know what a talent she has for music. She’s well-known for her athletic abilities but the daughter of Wes and

An executive session is planned to discuss personnel and student matters.

Spickard Aldermen Set Meeting

The Spickard Board of Aldermen will meet at 6 p.m., Monday at city hall.

Jenni Croy, both coaches, was taught from a young age that you don’t tout your own abilities. “I really hate promoting myself,” she said. “I think that’s because my dad drilled it in us kids to be humble. You’re not supposed to talk about yourself. So this goes against everything I was taught,” she said. Salem said her parents didn’t even know she could sing until, as an eight-year-old, she asked her mom if she could sing the “StarSpangled Banner” at her older brother’s 8 a.m. elementary basketball game at the Ketcham Community Center. “My mom was like ‘Do you even know the words?’ I said, ‘yeah, I do’.”

They - and others - were apparently impressed as they asked her to sing again at the 9 a.m. game. After that she began singing the anthem at the women’s basketball games at North Central Missouri College, where Jenni is the head coach. She only stopped when her brother (like most older brothers) teased her that people were probably tired of hearing her sing it. When she entered her freshman year at Trenton High School, music took a back seat to sports, where she excelled in softball, basketball and track. But her love for music continued. Her “training” on the guitar started in the fireworks tent her parents run every summer. [See CROY, Page 8]

El Nopal Request Approved

A request for a variance on the front-yard setback requirement for a local business was approved at a meeting of the Trenton Board of Adjustments held Tuesday evening. The request, made by El Nopal Mexican Restaurant, sought a 12-foot variance on the front-yard setback requirement of 20 feet. Billy Wilson represented the restaurant at the meeting and said the owners wish to construct an outdoor seating area at the front of the building, located at 1100 E. Ninth St. Code Enforcement Officer Wes Barone said he has no concerns about the new dining area being a vision-clearance hazard or that diners will be seated too close to the street. Wilson said the area will be a patio with a wrought iron fence, although future plans may involve enclosing the area to make it a four-seasons dining area with screening and/or glass. Wilson said the project will begin as soon as concrete work can get started.

Gallatin Golfers Win Albany Quad

Trenton Cleans Up At Carrollton Tournament Mallory Sole, a senior, has been playing in the number two spot this season, teaming with Trenton’s number-one player, freshman Astrid Soriano, in doubles play. Wednesday at the Carrollton Tournament, though, the teammates became foes as they met in the championship match of the singles bracket. Experience won. Sole topped her younger teammate 8-0 to claim the top spot on the singles side at the tournament, capping a perfect 3-0 day in which she allowed only six points at the event. She wasn’t Trenton’s only champion, however. The duo of Alaina Overton and Lydia Leininger captured first-place honors in the doubles bracket. With Soriano’s second-place medal and a fourth-place finish from the doubles team of Harley Hall and Jessika Kennedy, all six Bulldogs brought home hardware. “The girls played awesome today,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “They all brought home a medal. I am very proud of their accomplishments.” Sole reached the finals with wins of 8-0 and 8-6 while Soriano handled her first two opponents by scores of 8-0 and 8-1 before running into Sole. On the doubles side, Leininger and Overton grabbed wins of 8-0 and 8-2 to reach the final where they dispatched of Odessa’s top doubles team by an 8-6 score. Kennedy and Hall were 2-2 on the day with wins of 8-5 and 6-3 and losses of 8-5 and 6-3. LEBLOND 8, TRENTON 1 Trenton’s dual with the LeBlond Golden Eagles on Tuesday did no go as swimingly as the Carrollton Tournament as the Bulldogs suffered an 81 defeat.

MALLORY SOLE hits a return shot during Trenton’s 8-1 loss to LeBlond on Tuesday. Sole was the singles bracket champion at the Carrollton Tournament on Wednesday.

Trenton was decently competitive in the duals’ matches, but the Bulldogs were only able to get one win over on the Eagles. That came from Sole who took her singles match by a score of 8-6. At that point, the match was already in hand for the visitors, but a win over LeBlond’s Emily Weddle, a state qualifier a year ago, was certainly a highlight for Sole and the Bulldogs. “Mallory was our only win at number-two singles,” Ockenfels said. “She angled the ball well, hit winners and beat a girl who went to state last year in singles.” The match opened with doubles play where Sole and Soriano were defeated 8-4. The duo of Leininger and Overton fell 8-5 and Hall and Kennedy lost 8-2. Outside of Sole, singles play fol-

lowed suit. Soriano fell 8-1 at number one, while Overton and Leininger both lost 8-4 at three and four respectively. Hall fell 8-0 at number five and Kennedy was shutout at number six as well, falling 8-0. Trenton dropped to 1-2 overall on the season with the loss. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s JV lost 6-0 to LeBlond. In doubles play, Jillian Voorhies and Faith Lee fell 6-3, Matty Shultz and Kaytee Wright lost 6-4, Lee and Savannah Elrod were defeated 6-2 and Elrod and Wright lost 6-2. In singles action, Voorhies fell 6-3 and Shultz was defeated 6-4. UP NEXT Trenton traveled to Cameron for a dual on Thursday and will be at the Benton Tournament in St. Joseph on Friday.

It didn’t take long to realize Gallatin girls golf teammates Courtney Crose and Elle Copple were competing against each other for medalist honors at the Albany Quad. No one else on the rosters of Albany, Gallatin, Worth County and Rock Port were going to come close to what that duo was doing. In the end, it was Crose who grabbed the medal with a score of 48, three strokes ahead of Copple’s total of 51. Copple’s mark was 10 strokes clear of the third-place score at the quad. With those two marks, Gallatin cruised to the quad win with a team score of 228. Worth County had the only other team score — a 270 — as Albany fielded just three golfers and Rock Port had just two. Cloey Waterbury had the

Bulldogs’ third-lowest total, shooting a 61, and Kylie Stagner’s total of 68 rounded out the Gallatin team score. Brianna Filley was also in varsity action, shooting a 77. Three junior varsity golfers were in action for Gallatin. Hannah Critten carded a 61, tying her with Waterbury for third-place individually at the meet. Madison Kirk shot a 65 for the JV and Kiley Poindexter added a 71. “These young ladies continue to work hard and that is showing in the scores they are posting,” Gallatin coach Chris Wever said. Molly Miller of Worth County had the top score outside of Gallatin’s roster, shooting a 63. Gallatin hosted Trenton, Lawson and Hamilton in a home quad on Thursday and will host the Gallatin Girls Golf Tournament on Tuesday. Tee time at the Daviess County Country Club is set for 9 a.m.

Princeton Rallies Past Trenton Late Bulldogs Can’t Hold Lead In Final Inning Princeton freshman Jolena Gibson thought she was making a heads-up base running play when she bolted for second base on a throw in to home from the outfield. By the time she reached second base, however, the realization hit her that her two-run single down the right-field line had just walked off the game and handed her Tigers an 8-7 win over the visiting Trenton Bulldogs. “We were in as good a position as we could be in going into the seventh because we had the top of our lineup coming up for a fourth time through,” Princeton head coach Steve

Richman said. “We just told our kids to never give up on a score. We are a young team and we are going to have a lot of ups and downs, but to have a freshman come up and hit that ball down the line like that was a big spot.” Gibson’s hit capped a four-run Princeton rally that closed a seventh inning that played out like a movie for the Tigers and a nightmare for the Bulldogs. Freshman pitcher Avery Clark entered the game for Trenton in the seventh, replacing starter Emma Roberts. Clark was able to recover after an error let a runner on first base by popping up the next batter. But a single and two walks later, Roberts re-entered with Trenton clinging on to a two-run lead. Princeton’s Addy Henke cut the lead to a single run

with an RBI hit and, after a fielder’s choice forced out a run at the plate, Gibson came through to send Trenton home with a loss. “We hated to lose that game,” Trenton coach Madi Stillwell said. “It wasn’t just the last inning that lost us the game, though. We had opportunities to score multiple runs and didn’t produce. We made multiple base running errors in different innings. “The best thing about the game was it exposed the little things we need to get better at — hitting locations of pitches, getting the signs from coaches each pitch, wanting the ball, knowing what to do with the ball if it comes to you each pitch.” Jena Harris led Trenton, going 2-for-3 with a double, three RBIs and Chan-

Trenton Wins A Set, Falls To Tigers Volleyball Team Makes Another Stride, Still Loses PLATTSBURG 3 TRENTON 1 Playing in their thirdstraight road game to open the season, the Trenton High School volleyball team made a stride in the right direction, even if the end result was another loss. Trenton was able to take the second set on the road in Plattsburg and nearly evened the match overall in the fourth set before falling 19-25, 25-22, 13-25, 20-25. “The process may not be moving as fast as we want it to, but we are making improvements every night,”

Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said. Trenton was aggressive in the loss, putting 90 attacks on the ball in the four sets combined. That total led to 19 kills, a decent number, but one Trenton wants to improve on. “Now we need to improve on attacking more aggressively,” Ewald said. “We need to get more than 19 kills off of 90 attacks.” Trenton was paced by Lilly Berti and Juliet Schmadeke, both of whom had six kills in the loss. Berti also added six aces from the service line and Ava Simpson assisted on 12 of the Bulldogs’ 19 kills. Zoie McGowan had a good night on the back line, leading Trenton with nine digs. The loss dropped Trenton to 0-3 overall on the season. The Bulldogs hosted Carrollton on Thursday in their first home match of the season. Trenton will be back in action on Monday, playing host to Hamilton at 5 p.m. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s JV picked up a 25-6, 25-15 straight-set victory in Plattsburg.

OP/ED Have an Opinion?

D’ANNA HONEYCUTT I speak for both my husband and myself when I say, thank you. Thank you for such a kind and gracious welcome from everyone we’ve encountered while settling in over the last several weeks. As of September 1, since we officially took ownership of the Trenton Republican-Times and the Green Hills Weekly, we’ve been met with nothing but positivity and welcoming words. Jamey and I are very excited to come back home and settle into an area we love. The fact that we get to do it while serving our communities with locally focused publications, is just icing on the cake. I am a Kansas girl. I knew from a young age (10 if I remember correctly) that I would be in newspapers. My grandparents instilled the love of news, newspapers and the written word in me. I have fond memories of devouring every word of the Kansas City Star at my grandmother’s side. My parents didn’t take the newspaper; it was an expense we could not afford in their eyes. So, my grandmother made sure she saved the editions and delivered them to me when I didn’t get there to read them with her. I moved to Clinton County, Missouri about 23 years ago and fell in love with the state. I started working at the Cameron Citizen Observer in 2004 as a beat reporter and left eight years later, after having working as their GM and publisher. In 2011, I left the publishing industry to build my retirement business, then returned a few years later to work for one of the largest publishers in the country. After seeing how large corporations were regularly pushing community papers into fatal nose-dives, I left again. Ultimately, to be lured back into the game by a friend and another peer to consulting and train at another community newspaper corporation. Despite multiple attempts at an industry I loved, the corporate aspects made the jobs miserable. Born and raised in Hope, Arkansas, Jamey graduated from Henderson State College and has spent his entire career in the industry of community newspapers. He’s seen and experienced it all, the good and bad, moving coast to coast, from paper to paper as times and newspapers evolved and have changed over the years. His experience is invaluable and his talents in this business are admirable. I am proud to take on this adventure with him as my partner. Obviously, Jamey and I are not new to the paper-game. For more years than either of us would like to admit, we have worked in newspapers. Between the two of us, there’s not a job in this industry we haven’t taken on at one time or another. When the opportunity came to purchase our own, we jumped at it. In our years of working for corporations we saw the same things. We saw what little they did right and when they went wrong. Paper to paper, in every community, local decisions and local advertising dollars were being sent up the corporate ladder and out of the communities they served. Community papers and their communities rarely saw the benefit of the dollars spent from local advertisers and subscribers. We are different because our desire is to utilize those local dollars to support the same businesses and communities that support us. We get to do it right Jamey and I know that we have some very big shoes to fill. It is an honor to be only the fifth owners in history of these pages you are reading. That is a big deal to us and we’ll both do our best to uphold the traditions of these publications, set by the Lenhart family and their predecessors. While we know these are some big shoes to fill, it is our desire to be a continued and respected voice of the community. It is also our wish that Wendell continue to remain as much a part of the R-T as he wishes to be. Providing it has Trish’s approval, of course. He is a dear friend and we hope to make his newspaper and community proud. He is of course, the Publisher Emeritus. You can email D’Anna at honeycuttmediallc@gmail.com. Or, you can find her randomly hiding the previous publisher’s keys so he cannot leave the office to hide out on the golf course.

WRITE TO THE REPUBLICAN-TIMES LETTER TO THE EDITOR P.O. Box 548 Trenton, MO 64683

Health Department Responds To Letter Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: This letter is in response to the “Letter to the Editor” written by John Crimi that appeared in the August 27 edition of the Trenton Republican-Times. The Grundy County Health Department provides COVID-19 data in response to media requests and posts information regularly to the GCHD Facebook page. One of the figures we often get asked about is the number of “breakthrough cases.” A breakthrough case is when a person tests positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving either the second of a two-dose series or a single-dose vaccine. Breakthrough cases are compared to the number of fully vaccinated people, not to the number of cases. A person can’t be classified as a breakthrough case if they are not vaccinated. To date, Grundy County has had 65 breakthrough cases, which is 2.2 percent of the fully vaccinated people in Grundy County. Mr. Crimi is correct, there is no way to know whether every one of those vaccinated individuals has been exposed. It is possible that some of them have not been, and it may also be the case that some have been exposed multiple times. Others may have an illness so mild their case was not identified.

The virus is so widely distributed within the population that the likelihood of a person, going about their daily life in public and not being exposed, is quite small. GCHD also reports the number of cases that are vaccinated/unvaccinated. For this metric, we do not include all the cases since the beginning of the pandemic because vaccinations were not available until December 2020. Mr. Crimi’s letter stated that vaccine didn’t show up until Spring and in fact, over 3,400 doses were given to Grundy County residents prior to April 1, 2021. Of all the new cases we’ve had in Grundy County since April 1, 13% were vaccinated, 87% were unvaccinated. Grundy County case data is meticulously recorded, reviewed, and vetted by our own staff in concert with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services according to established case definitions. Additional data can be found on the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services website, including statewide and county case numbers, positivity rates, number of tests performed, and number of vaccinated people. GCHD will continue to provide accurate, timely data regarding the COVID-19 outbreak in our county and recommend evidenced-based mitigation strategies for reducing the spread of COVID19. Vaccination, along with other layered prevention strategies, continues to be our best defense against se-

vere illness. Although no vaccine or treatment is entirely risk-free, over 370 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in the United States to date, and for most people the benefit of protection outweighs the risk. If you have concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and are wondering if it is the best choice for you, please consult your healthcare provider. Disease surveillance, investigation, and prevention efforts are ongoing at GCHD. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff was actively looking for disease trends through surveillance and investigating illnesses like tuberculosis and salmonella. We were fighting the spread of disease by immunizing people against influenza, tetanus, whooping cough, and other illnesses. This may be our first global pandemic, but it is not our first outbreak or mass vaccination effort. The Grundy County Health Department is grateful for the collaboration with our healthcare and emergency services partners and the support of our local schools, organizations, businesses, and residents. We know the battle is far from over, but every day our knowledge increases and we have more weapons to fight against this virus and protect the health of everyone who calls Grundy County home. Sincerely, Elizabeth Gibson Grundy County Health Department

Ward Circle will publicize the collection of the Blessing Boxes next spring. Officers were elected for the coming year and include President, Talma Joiner; Secretary/Treasurer, Betty Wimer; Service, Barbara Crow; and Courtesy, Janice Stimpson. It was decided to use devotional material at each meeting rather than a study book. Barbara Crow will be the October hostess and will present the devotion. The meeting will be at the church. Mrs. Wimer presented the program using the Order of God’s Universe. In every aspect of life, God’s hand is in control and there is a rhythm and order to everything that exists. The meeting closed with the CWF Benediction. Mrs. Joiner was the hostess for the fellowship time.

THS Class Of 1961 Eighteen members of the Trenton High School Class of 1961 met for the 60th class reunion in the BTC Community Room on Saturday afternoon of the annual Trenton Alumni Labor Day Weekend celebration. The invocation was given by Gary Rowlen and the food was catered by Trenton Hy-Vee. Class members attending were Tom Brodie, Donna Christy, Jim Crow, John Eicher, Joy Foster, Jim Fur-

long, Jerry Harris, Shirley King, Tom Klinginsmith, Dave Mulvania, Ann McNabb, Sharon Reeter, Marilyn Sibbit, Gary Rowlen, Kay Saale, Kay Staton, Jim Still and Phillip Thomas. Several spouses of the classmates, as well as graduates from other classes stopped during the reunion that afternoon to visit. Plans are being considered for a similar gathering in 2022.

Susan Williams led the program at the beginning of the meeting for the Scrappy Quilter’s when they met on Sept.7 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton. The group learned how to make a fabric bowl using clothesline rope and strips of fabric. Donna Wilson conducted the business meeting which followed the sewing session. There were 14 members present. Updates were given on the recently-held Shop Hop to Iowa, the upcoming retreat in Valley Falls, KS, the Quilt Show to be held during the Missouri Days Festival in October and the election of officers for the 2022 calendar year. The group will be hosting a quilt show October 15-17 at the Dorris Rider Art Gallery on the campus of North Central Missouri College. The show will feature quilts made by the membership as well as other quilt items. They will also have tickets available for an Opportunity quilt that they will be giving away in December. The sales from this quilt will go towards their charity projects. A complete list of the projects will be on display at the show. The public is invited to attend the show on Friday, Oct. 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday,

Oct.16 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 17 from noon to 3 p.m. The group will be displaying quilts at the North 65 Center for the month of November. It is hoped that they will display quilts a couple of months in the year 2022 as well.

Share and Tell participants were Chris Newton, Delores Kuttler, Susan Williams, and Twyla Johnson. The Saturday Sew for this month was canceled due to not enough participants. There will be no Saturday Sew in October. The next meeting will be on Oct. 5 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton. Members are asked to bring their items for the quilt show to this meeting. As always, the public is invited to attend the guild meetings.

MU Extension Give Tips For Getting Your Lawn And Garden Ready For Fall Lawns Labor Day is the time to start fall seeding of lawns. Days are getting cooler and there are less weeds for the grass to compete with. A fescue blend is ideal for lawns in north Missouri as it withstands our extremes in weather conditions and variety of soil types. It can handle wear and tear, hot, humid summers and cold winters. Finish seeding by October 15. After that date, temperatures are too cool for good germination and establishment before winter sets in. Fall is a good time to control perennial weeds. As weeds prepare for winter, they store up reserves in their root systems. Herbicide applications are more effective at this time than in the hot days of summer, as the herbicide is drawn into the root systems. Rake up leaves from the lawn as they fall to prevent smothering of grass. Ornamentals September and October is an ideal time to plant trees and shrubs. The days are cooler and less stressful on plants. It allows the roots to become established before the ground freezes. Picture the tree at maturity. Select trees and shrubs suitable for the site where they are to be planted. Some nurseries and garden centers get a fresh selection of trees and shrubs in for fall planting. Others have their spring shipment of woody plants on clearance. When buying a tree or shrub, look it over closely. Take it out of the container and inspect the root system. Plants that have been sitting in a garden center all summer are often pot bound. Fall is also the ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs. They should be planted before the ground freezes. When selecting bulbs, keep in mind, the bigger the bulb the larger the flower. For example, small daffodil bulbs will produce small daffodil flowers. Divide perennial plants now, especially those that bloom in the spring. A rule of thumb on transplanting is, if they bloom in the spring, transplant

them in the fall. If they bloom in the fall, transplant in the spring. Tender bulbs like cannas should be dug before a hard freeze. Remove the soil and store in a cool, dry place such as a basement for the winter. Watch for migrating monarch butterflies as they make their journey south to Mexico. They may be found sipping nectar from many ornamental plants like sweet autumn clematis, coneflowers and black-eyed Susans. Monarch caterpillars can still be found on milkweed plants in early fall. Asters and chrysanthemums are in full bloom at this time, and are often added to the landscape for beautiful fall color. Many pollinators including bees, can be found on native asters which are a nectar and pollen source for bees and butterflies. Fruits Many fruits ripen in the fall, including many varieties of apples. There is an apple for every taste and every use. Some taste tart, some mild, some hold their shape during baking, while others cook down into sauce rapidly. Sooty Blotch and Fly Speck are two fungal diseases which cause surface blemishes on apples. The fungi overwinter in twigs on trees. The fungal spores are windblown typically affecting the fruit in late summer. Disease outbreaks are favored by extended periods of above normal summer temperatures combined with frequent rainfall and high humidity. These diseases can be controlled with fungicide sprays earlier in the season. The apples are fine to eat, but may be unmarketable for growers. Missouri has an interesting apple history. In 1904, there were 25 million apple trees planted in Missouri that produced a crop worth $30 million (worth about 501 million in today’s dollars). Census figures of 1913 reported nearly 15,000 apple growers with most of them producing their crop on less than 10 acres of land. In the 1920's and 30's many insects and diseases invaded Missouri

orchards. Without effective control measures to combat these pests, apple production declined. The Great Armistice Day freeze in November 1940, in which there was an unseasonably warm fall, followed by a rapid drop in temperature, killed thousands of trees not only in Missouri, but also throughout the Midwest. After the freeze, apple production moved westward to states with less erratic climatic conditions and lower pest populations. Vegetables Some of the best tasting vegetables I have grown in my garden, were harvested during the fall. Sugars accumulate in vegetables such as turnips, parsnips, carrots and Brussels sprouts in the cooler days of fall making them taste sweeter. The first hard frost in most areas of north Missouri has been well into November the past few years, which allowed gardeners to produce and harvest vegetables almost to Thanksgiving. Ornamental corn, gourds and pumpkins are ready for harvest and available at most farmers’ markets. They come in all sizes and colors, and make a nice addition to a fall display. Winter squash, including acorn, spaghetti and butternut is not only edible, but can also be used in fall displays. Winter squash should be harvested whenever the fruits have turned a deep, solid color and the rind is hard. Harvest the main part of the crop in September or October, before heavy frosts. Cut squash from the vines carefully, leaving two inches of stem attached. Fruits that are not fully mature, have been injured, have had their stems knocked off, or have been subjected to heavy frost do not store well and should be used as soon as possible or be composted. Fall is the best time to test garden soil. Application of required nutrients should be done in late fall to allow nutrients to work into the soil over the winter. Directions for collecting a soil sample are included in this newsletter.

feel.” Speaking of dreams - she laughs, recalling that she wasn’t really raised to have dreams that might be considered unrealistic to a kid growing up in Trenton, MO - even though her cousin, Bransen Ireland, has made it pretty big in Nashville and was a contestant on “The Voice.” “I feel like growing up with Wes Croy, your dreams had to be realistic. They had to be reachable. I never thought I could make music work long-term. Now I’m starting to feel a little bit like it could be a possibility.” The Trenton community will have a chance to see and hear Salem in person when she performs at Black Silo Winery on Saturday, Sept. 25 as part of the Leadership Northwest Music Jam. When Shane Lynch, the organizer of the fund-raiser for Leadership Northwest, called to ask if she would open the show that will feature country music star Sunny Sweeney, Salem said her usual hesitancy gave way to something else. “He giggled and said ‘you can say no’. I don’t know what came over me.

I must have blacked out or something because I said ‘yeah.’ It’s a fund-raiser and it’s going toward something important. I want to help him.” She may have some nerves when she takes the stage and she admits that her biggest fear is that maybe she’s not as good as people think she is. “My dad said Lathan got all the confidence in the world and I got none. That’s probably true. I definitely have a fear of judgment and that’s not something you can have in this business.” For now, she’s focused on the Sept. 25 performance, but she dreams of spending her life making music - not because she craves the limelight or the money or fame. Just because she loves making music. “I just want people to listen to my music.” Tickets to the Leadership Northwest Music Jam, sponsored by Wright Memorial Hospital and Hedrick Medical Center, can be purchased for $20 on Eventbrite or $25 at the door.

Marching Band, as selected by the Rotary Club- appointed judges will receive a $500 prize for the school’s instrumental music department.

The theme of this year’s parade is “Celebrating 200 Years of Missouri History Past. Present. Future.” There is no fee to enter the parade with the exception of political entries which are charged $25 with those funds earmarked to help defray parade expenses. Entries can be made online through the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce website. The 2021 Missouri Days Festival Parade rolls at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct.16.

They are also amazing when your student enters college and they are overwhelmed and have questions about college issues or just need Heather a friendly face those first few days on camMcCollum pus. This program is helpful for parents and students alike and are always willing to do whatever they can to help your student be successful. We would be lost without Upward Bound.”- Upward Bound Parent This is what Upward Bound is all about! We are here to help students prepare for and get to college. Upward Bound is one of several TRiO programs, which are all 100% funded by the U.S. Department of Education-which means all of our services are FREE! Upward Bound at North Central Missouri College (NCMC) currently serves students from six area high schools, which include: Trenton R-9, Hamilton R-2, Chillicothe R-2, Grundy County R-5, Tri-County R-7 and Gallatin R-5. Throughout the academic year students from these schools come to the North Central Missouri College campus one Saturday per month to participate in career awareness, test taking and study skills preparation, community service, financial literacy workshops; along with cultural enrichment and teambuilding activities. Upward Bound also provides our students with one on one personal academic advising to ensure students are taking college preparatory courses and are on track for their graduation requirements. Other services provided throughout the academic year include: assistance with completion of college applications and the FAFSA, registering for the ACT or SAT, monitoring of A+ status, school visits, weekly academic tutoring, and college visits. The summer program is a great experience for students to become acclimated to college. Participants will arrive on the NCMC campus and will complete a six-week summer component. The first five weeks students get to live in the dorms, take courses to prepare them for the next academic year, go on weekly college visits and cultural activities, participate in work-study and a lot of teambuilding activities. The sixth week of the program includes an out-of-state cultural trip. During this week long trip, students will get to experience an out-ofstate college visit, along with cultural and educational activities. Another part of the summer is the Bridge program, which is for our students who have just completed their senior year of high school and will be entering college in the fall. This is designed to transition these students from being a high school senior to a college freshman. Bridge students take at least two NCMC summer courses that are required for their chosen degree program. Upward Bound staff will be at the schools throughout September to recruit new students for this year. If a student is interested in being a part of our program, they have to APPLY! Applications can be found on the UB webpage or in the guidance department at each of our high schools. Applications are due October 6th. For more information, feel free to contact me at 660-357-6338 or hmccollum@mail.ncmissouri.edu or go to www.ncmissouri.edu/ub.

DOWN 1 Jay Z’s music 2 Hired car 3 Actor Richard 4 Summarizes

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 34 years. We have two grown children, both of whom still live with us. They work and pay rent toward our mortgage. I have no problem with their living at home, and I don't think my husband does either. The problem I have is that both my husband and my son are alcoholics. They both work hard, but when they are off, they get drunk, and my daughter and I have a hard time dealing with all the issues. My son is a closet alcoholic. He stays in his room and drinks, and when he comes out, he is very talkative and emotional, and he gets depressed. My husband can drink beer all day and spend his day doing yard work. In the afternoon, he takes a nap, and when he wakes up, he continues to drink. They both know they need help, but neither one is making any effort to get that help. My son went to a detox center over a year ago. Unfortunately, since the pandemic hit just after he was

released, he did not get follow-up counseling and ended up relapsing. I spend a lot of time with my best friend, who I've known all my life. Once a year, we go on a small trip. The problem is my husband makes me feel guilty and gets angry at me for these trips. But I just need to get away and have someone to whom I can vent. It seems like my husband just expects me to stay home while he is out doing yard work. Should I be trying to do more to get them to quit drinking? Am I in the wrong here for spending time with friends? -- Between a Rock and a Hard Place Dear Between: No and no. It's up to your husband and son to get the help that they both clearly need. Spending time with your friends outside the house is a very healthy thing, a way of setting boundaries. Unfortunately, your husband is rearing against those boundaries. It seems he's not content to just self-destruct; he wants to drag you down with him. If things continue this way, you may need to

consider whether you can truly live under the same roof as him without it taking a toll on your mental health. To gain some clarity and insight, I encourage you to make an appointment with a therapist who specializes in addiction. You may also find solace and strength in support groups such as Al-Anon (https://www.al-anon.org) or SMART Recovery Family and Friends (https://www. smartrecovery.org/family). Dear Annie: In response to "One Grieving Grandmother to Another," who was upset about not seeing her children and grandchildren on holidays, I was thinking she could try making her own "holidays" or special Sundays. If invited ahead of time, her family might come together and be with her. Competition on regular holidays makes it hard for grown children to see all the family. If there are birthday celebrations for grandkids, I think it's perfectly OK to ask ahead if she may join the festivities, instead of waiting for them to extend the favor. Sometimes, we just have to be proactive. -- Understanding Grandma Dear Understanding Grandma: Being proactive and creative is always a good thing. Thank you for your suggestion.

DoorDash grows — but under fire capped the fees DoorDash and other delivery companies could charge during the pandemic to protect struggling restaurants. San Francisco recently made those caps permanent, and New York could follow soon. DoorDash says the fee caps wind up hurting restaurants because it is forced to charge customers more. DoorDash is also fighting a recent court ruling in California that challenges the company’s treatment of its drivers as independent contractors. And in Chicago, DoorDash faces a consumer protection lawsuit saying its customer fees are misleading.

DoorDash sales soared over the last year as more diners ate at home. But multiple roadblocks could slow the company’s growth ahead. The San Francisco-based restaurant delivery company’s orders doubled last spring when the pandemic hit and dining rooms closed. But even after restrictions eased, DoorDash’s orders continued to grow. That’s partly because the company has been rapidly adding new partners, including groceries, pet stores and drugstores. As DoorDash has grown, however, its business model has faced more scrutiny.

Davidson, 34, posted $1,000 cash bond after being arrested for failing to appear in court on an original charge of non-support. He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 12. Also arrested was Bar-

Two Trailers In Recent Mishap Two trucks that were pulling towed units were involved in an accident Wednesday on Princeton Road near the intersection with 19th Street. According to Trenton Police Officer Jeff Spencer’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a truck driven by Larry Dannar of Trenton was southbound on Princeton Road. His towed unit came unhooked, causing the unsecured metal debris to come off. The trailer struck a utility pole, breaking it, and came to rest against a

pole. The second truck, driven by Mattie Yoder of Jamesport, was also pulling a towed unit and was northbound on Princeton Road. Ms. Yoder said that as she passed Dannar’s vehicle she saw the debris coming off, but couldn’t avoid it. Some of the debris struck the driver’s side wheels and tires of her trailer, causing them to bust. Dannar’s trailer was towed from the scene and he was ticketed for failing to secure and fasten a load. No injuries were reported in the mishap.
