SAM GIBSON runs away from the Princeton defense for one of his six touchdowns in Trenton’s 57-28 victory Friday night. He rushed for 369 yards in the game, the fifth highest single-game total in school history.

THAT WINNING FEELING Gibson’s Historic Night Carries Trenton To First Win Since 2019 As the seconds ticked away in the fourth quarter of Trenton’s 57-28 victory over the Princeton Tigers Friday night at C.F. Russell Stadium, defensive ends Caleb Johnson and Kaden Owen stealthily made their way toward head coach Kevin Hixson on either side of a Powerade cooler. As the clock hit zero, Johnson and Owen hoisted the cooler and dumped its content on the coach. The water and ice cascaded off Hixson’s shoulders and back, washing away a 685-day winless streak.

“It was huge for us,” Owen said.

“Just because we hadn’t won. We hadn’t won in almost two years. I think (Hixson) was kind of mad at first but then he realized ‘hey, we got a win tonight.’”

Trenton’s last win before Friday came on Oct. 25, 2019 when Trenton defeated Maysville 49-29 in the Cemetery Bowl. But Trenton lost to Macon in district play the following week to end its season. In 2020, Trenton was shut out in weeks 1 and 2 before a COVID quarantine cost the Bulldogs two weeks of practices and games. Trenton would never recover, finishing the 2020 campaign at 0-8.

But Friday night saw Trenton return to the win column on the legs of Sam Gibson, who turned in the fifthbest single-game rushing total in school history. Gibson needed just 19 carries to accumulate 369-yards rushing — just 22 yards behind De’Andre Vandevender’s 391-yard effort against Carrollton in 2007. Brian Grimes, who is the reason Gibson wears the number-20 jersey, ran for 377 against Maryville in 1990 and 373 against Savannah in that same season. Austin Burkeybile rushed for 373 as well, doing so at Princeton in 2016. By the time the night was over, Gibson had rushed for six touchdowns as well.

“That trap (play) was working amazing,” Gibson said of his big night. “(Princeton) didn’t see it coming at all. I just hit that hole.

(Johnson) was lead blocking for me and I just took it to the house every time we ran trap.”

Trenton ran trap on its first possession and Gibson ran 66 yards, nearly untouched for the Bulldogs’ first score of the night. The second time Trenton ran it, Gibson went 83 yards to make it 12-0 just halfway through the first quarter. “(Princeton’s) front was a four front,” Johnson said. “We had two guys kicking out the end and then I would get the tackle. It just created a huge lane for Sam to go through. On trap, Sam would just run right underneath that block for lots of yards.”

But while Gibson certainly seemed untouchable offensively, Princeton showed some fight after falling into the initial 12-0 hole.

was running for his life at times in the contest, found Talan Holt for the team’s first first down of the contest late in the first quarter. It got the Tigers into Trenton territory for the first time and a couple of plays later Smith found Holt again, this time leading to a 38-yard touchdown pass.

While Trenton had struggled, missing a point-after kick and failing to score on a 2-point try, Princeton delivered to cut the lead to 12-8.

The second quarter would be a shootout as the teams traded blows.

Gibson added touchdown runs of 36 and 29 yards and Gabe Novak, who ripped off a 36-yard run that put Trenton on the one-yard line, punched in a touchdown of his own on the next play. Princeton got a kickoff return to the house by Andrew Rhoades and Rhoades had a jump pass to Holt out of a Wildcat set for a five-yard touchdown. Princeton got the final score of the half on a 55-yard pass from Smith to Luke Kelly to send the teams into the locker rooms with Trenton leading just 34-28.

“Our offense kept us in the game in the first half,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “Logan made some great throws under pressure and Talan and Luke were both able to make some big plays for us. Andrew had a huge kickoff return for a TD

that really got us kick-started as well.

We’re going to need more of that on a more consistent basis if we’re going to have any success.”

In the second half, though, Gibson continued to dominate, but Trenton’s defense, especially its secondary, adjusted and began to take away the Tigers’ downfield passing chances.

The Tigers would not score in the second half.

“We didn’t do a lot different scheme-wise,” Hixson said. “We knew they had a couple of guys they wanted to get deep and get behind us.

Coleman (Griffin), Gabe Novak and I just made a few adjustments and it was just ‘we can’t let this happen, I know you are seeing this.’ Coleman wanted to get a little excited about getting up there and helping stop the sweep, but we can’t do that. So we talked about it at halftime and made the adjustment and it was good.”

While Princeton saw its offense slip away, Gibson kept hammering.

He ripped off back-to-back 30-yard runs to start the half, the second scoring his fifth touchdown of the night.

Griffin picked off Smith on Princeton’s next drive and scored his first touchdown with a 16-yard quarterback keeper at the other end. Gibson would punch in his final touchdown on Trenton’s next drive — a four-yard dive in which he ran over a defender at the goal line to score. That pushed the lead to 55-28 with just 8:15 left to play.

“Oh my goodness,” Hixson said of Gibson’s performance on the night.

“There were a couple of runs where Sam was just grinding it out and grinding it out and grinding it out.

Caleb and Kaden and Dylan Spencer up front, those guys did a great job of blocking and opening holes. They [See TRENTON, Page 4]

Early Safety Gives Gallatin GRC Win Bulldogs Can’t Get Much Of Anything Going With 7:08 left in the first quarter, the Gallatin High School football team got a safety to open the scoring in their home Grand River Conference contest with visiting South Harrison.

The quirky 2-0 score looked odd on the scoreboard, but when the game ended hours later, the safety loomed large as Gallatin had a 20-18 victory.

Both teams would score three touchdowns in the contest and neither team could get in on a conversion attempt, meaning the safety in the first quarter was the difference in the game.

After Gallatin stalled out on the South Harrison 4yard line on its first possession, the defense came to the rescue. The Bulldogs stuffed South Harrison in the backfield two plays later to record the safety and put the two points on the board.

Sophomore quarterback Peyton Baker had a big night for the Bulldogs. His rushing touchdown late in the first half gave Gallatin an 8-0 lead, but South Harrison would punch the ball in just before halftime to draw within two points at the break.

A Draven Wright fumble recovery set Gallatin up early in the third quarter and Baker found Payton Feiden for a touchdown pass to push the lead back out to 14-6. South Harrison got back within two midway through the fourth quarter, but again, Baker

found Feiden and the lead pushed back to 20-12.

South Harrison was able to punch the ball in the end zone one final time with just over two minutes left to play, setting up a tense 2point conversion attempt.

Feiden hit the South Harrison quarterback as he was attempting to throw, however, denying the potential game-tying play and sending Gallatin on to the victory.

Gallatin found most of its offense in the air. Baker completed 14-of-26 passes for 252 yard and the two scores. Feiden was the favorite target, collecting 207 receiving yards and both touchdown catches. The Bulldogs struggled to get much on the ground, however, and Draven Wright’s 40 rushing yards were enough to lead the team.

“South Harrison always has a stout defense and they were able to hold our ground game in check fairly well,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said.

“We found most of our success offensively through the air. Defensively, we had times where we held them at bay, however, we allowed too many big thirddown conversions and a couple of big plays that we are not accustomed to giving up.”

With the win Gallatin moved to 2-1 overall on the season and established a 10 record to start the season.

Gallatin will battle the upstart Polo Panthers in week 3. Polo has jumped out to a 3-0 start to the season, holding a 1-0 GRC mark after defeating Maysville 17-11 on Friday. Kickoff in Polo is set for 7 p.m.

GALLATIN 10 TRENTON 8 Two nights after coughing up a seventh-inning lead that led to a conference loss in Princeton, the Trenton Bulldogs suffered the exact same fate.

Trailing by a single run entering the final frame, Gallatin’s bats pushed three runs across the plate to take a 10-8 lead that Trenton could not make up in the bottom of the seventh. The result was a 10-8 Grand River Conference victory for Gallatin and an eighth loss in 10 games for Trenton.

The game was a wild back-and-forth affair with both teams piling up hits and runs throughout the contest. Trenton opened the scoring with a three-run bottom of the first, but Gallatin answered with four runs in the top of the second. Trenton was able to tie the game in the third and both teams plated a single run in the fourth to keep the contest level. Gallatin again went in front with two fifth inning runs before Trenton used a single run in the fifth and two in the sixth to carry a one-run lead into the seventh.

But in the top of the seventh, Karydon Jones singled to lead off the inning and Presley Wells walked to set the table for AnnaBell Ball. Ball delivered, laying down a bunt that scored Jones and tied the game. A popout momentarily stalled the rally, but Ella Bradford plated Wells to put Gallatin in front on a fielder’s choice to first base. A single to center by Tanna Youngs gave Gallatin its 10th run and the final run for either team in the game.

Trenton was able to bring the tying run to the plate after a two-out single

by Jena Harris, but nothing came of it as Gallatin got a strikeout to end the contest and collect the win.

Gallatin picked up the much-needed win for their program. After storming out of the gates with three wins to win the Albany Tournament, the Bulldogs had dropped three-straight conference games to fall to .500.

“Going into the last inning being down one run the middle to bottom of my lineup came through big,” Gallatin coach Penny Gardner said. “We’ve had a tough few games coming

into the Trenton game and the girls’ morale hasn’t been the greatest. I loved how they battled out of the first inning tonight, put it behind them and made a game out of it.”

For Gallatin, Ball was 3for-4 with a double, a triple, three runs scored and two RBIs. Abigail Burns was 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI and Jones was 2-for-4 with two runs. Gallatin also got two hits and an RBI from Ashley Feiden and two hits and a run from Betty Rogers. Bradford stole two bases in the win.

Ball was a little shaky in the circle, allowing eight runs on 14 hits and a walk, but struck out five while throwing all seven innings en route to being the winning pitcher.

Trenton was led by Chandler Lynch, who was 3-for-4 with a double, two runs, three RBIs and four stolen bases. Gracyn Rongey was 2-for-4 with three runs and two steals and Madi Moore was 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a steal. Harris had two hits and an RBI and Mirena King scored twice, drove in one and swiped four bases. Trenton stole 13 bases in the game.

With the win, Gallatin improved to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in the GRC. Gallatin will travel to Princeton on Tuesday for a GRC contest that is slated for a 5:30 p.m. first pitch.

JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton’s junior varsity team lost as well, falling 71.

Ella Novak led the way, collecting two hits for the Bulldogs’ JV while Kaegan Croy and Kenzie Lynch each had one hit.

MAYSVILLE TOURNAMENT Trenton had a chance to put the Gallatin loss behind them fairly quickly as the

Bulldogs competed in the Maysville Tournament on Saturday and did just that.

The Bulldogs won the fourteam, round-robin tournament defeating DeKalb 6-4, Plattsburg 10-3 and the host Wolverines 6-4 to go 3-0 on the day.

“It feels great to win,” Trenton coach Madi Stillwell said. “These girls have worked hard, so it feels good to be able to bring a plaque home. The past week was tough, but competitive. We know we can compete with anyone and that’s what we tried to do today. We tried our best to compete every pitch and ended up on top with hard work and focus. We did a better job of capitalizing on mistakes other teams made instead of letting opportunities pass by. Super proud of our girls.”

Against DeKalb, Moore was 1-for-1 with a run scored and three RBIs. Rongey and Lynch each had one hit and one RBI with Lynch scoring twice and Rongey crossing the plate once.

Versus Plattsburg, Moore had a hit, a run and two more RBIs. Rongey and Shay Westerhof each collected two hits, scored twice and drove in one and Lynch, Mirena King, Teya Cooksey and Eliana Cowling all had one run and one RBI each. Morgan King added two hits.

In the final game against Maysville, Lynch and Rongey each had two runs and an RBI and Morgan King drove in one and scored another. Harris and Mirena King each had RBIs as well.

Trenton improved to 5-8 overall with the tournament win and sits at 1-8 in the GRC. The Bulldogs were at Hamilton on Monday and host South Harrison tonight (Tuesday) at 5:30.

Gallatin Wins Home Quad, Trenton Third Copple Fends Off Crose For Medal, Weldon Shoots 59 GALLATIN 220 LAWSON 230 TRENTON 256 LAWSON JV 282 Gallatin hosted its first home match of the year as Trenton and Lawson made the trek to the Daviess County Country Club for a quad meet, with Lawson’s full junior varsity squad making up the fourth team.

Gallatin outdueled the Lawson varsity for the top spot at the event, carding a team score of 220 to best the Cardinals’ mark of 230 by 10 strokes.

Trenton, meanwhile finished with a team score of 256 to finish third ahead of the Lawson JV mark of 282.

Gallatin had the top-two scores at the quad with Elle Copple taking medalist honors with a score of 47.

Courtney Crose was right behind her teammate, shooting a 51. A 58 from Cloey Waterbury and a 64

from Kylie Stagner rounded out the Gallatin total. Brianna Filley was also in varsity action for the Bulldogs, shooting a 67.

“It was nice to have our first home meet and to come out on top,” Gallatin coach Chris Wever said.

“The girls played very well.”

Gallatin also had three junior varsity golfers playing. Kylie Poindexter led that group with a score of 60 while Madison Kirk and Hannah Critten finished at 71 and 72 respectively.

For Trenton, freshman Reece Weldon led the way, shooting a 59. Mari Atup and Josie Chumbley followed with scores of 63 and 64 respectively and a 70 from Sofia Currie rounded out the team total.

Trenton and Gallatin’s golf teams will both be back at the Daviess County Country Club on Tuesday, competing in the Gallatin Tournament. Tee time for the event is set for 9 a.m.

SPORTS BRIEFS Mercer Tops Winston

The Mercer Cardinals picked up a big HDC Conference victory on Thursday, defeating the Winston Redbirds 5-1 at home.

The difference in the game was the fourth inning where the Cardinals scored four of their five runs. Summer Martin led off the inning with a triple and Emma Shipley followed with a double to start the scoring. Bailey Houk and Maddi Fisher each had hits in the inning as well as the Cardinals built a 4-0 lead. Each team plated a run in the sixth to close out the scoring.

Gracie Rogers added a hit and two RBIs for Mercer and Kaydee Hill had a hit and an RBI. Fisher led Mercer with two runs scored.

In the circle, Makenzie Hagan threw all seven innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out one.

TMS Volleyball Falls

The Trenton Middle School volleyball team suffered a 25-12, 25-17 road loss in Kirksville on Thursday. Claudia Olivo netted six service points to lead Trenton in the loss.

“It took our girls the first set to adapt to (Kirksville’s) hard serves and hits,” Trenton coach Amanda King said.

“We started playing very well in the second set.”

Trenton won the B game 25-18, 25-14. Brinna Wheelbarger tallied 11 service points for Trenton in the win.

The TMS volleyball team played host to Plattsburg on Monday and is at South Harrison tonight (Tuesday).

Trenton Grabs Long-Awaited Win

[TRENTON, from Page 2] were just setting up inside trap. We ran trap a bit, some quick-hit dive off our option. I know Coleman wanted to keep that last touchdown of Sam’s and it would have been an easy keep for him, but he just read it perfectly and gave it to Sam and he ended up with that last touchdown. It could have been an easy touchdown for Coleman, but these guys aren’t selfish and they play hard and they play together. They did a great job.”

Trenton’s varsity was out of the game at that point, except for the secondary, which Trenton’s varsity played until the game’s end. The junior varsity front picked up a safety with Princeton’s JV offense in the game late to give the contest its final score of 57-28.

That’s when Hixson got his longawaited, much deserved ice bath and the Trenton players rallied around their coach jumping up and down.

“I love it,” Hixson said. “I think that is probably the one thing about my coaching style or whatever it is that you want to call it — I’m kind of a hard-ass up front, but I love the kids. They kind of see through that tough-guy facade and know that I really care.”

Behind Gibson’s absolute monster

night, Novak rushed for 98 yards and one score on 13 carries.

Trenton improved to 1-2 overall on the season and established a 1-0 start to Grand River Conference play with the victory.

Princeton managed just 36 yards rushing against the Bulldogs with Rhoades netting 37 yards on eight attempts. Smith had a big day, however, connecting on 9-of-14 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Holt was the top target, hauling in four catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Kelly added three catches for 62 yards and a score.

Princeton dropped to 0-3 and 0-1 GRC in a season in which 17 of its 23 rostered players are freshmen or sophomores.

“We’ve got a lot of growing and improving to do if we’re going to have any success,” Powell said. “The youth of our team isn’t an excuse for not performing the way we should.

We need to develop consistency on both sides of the ball and do a much better job preparing each week.”

The Bulldogs will be at home for a third-straight Friday when it plays host to Putnam County on Homecoming night at C.F. Russell Stadium.

It is hard to tell what could have been for the Trenton High School volleyball team if it had been at full strength for its home opener Thursday night against Carrollton. The team was without Lilly Berti, however, a front line starter who might have made a difference in a 25-21 first set loss. Had Trenton won that set, maybe the rest of the night would have played out differently. Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered.

What did matter was the outcome as Carrollton picked up a 25-21, 2513, 25-12 victory to keep Trenton winless on the season. The Bulldogs fell to 0-4 overall after opening the year with three straight road losses.

“Moments were really good especially early, but it seems that there is a mental blockade that we need to get over as a group,” Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said. “Toward the end of the first set we quit playing with enthusiasm and it showed in the score.

Once we get past this mental hump, I really think things will get exciting for Trenton volleyball.”

LOCAL Sheriff’s Office Reports Arrests

A Princeton man has been arrested after failing to appear in court and is also now facing new charges for attempting to pass a urine test using false means.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, James L. Houk, 49, is charged with attempted forgery, a class E felony, for attempting to provide a urine sample using a Whizzinator for the purpose of making the sample appear genuine. Bond was set at $5,000 cash only on that charge.

Juvenile Taken By Helicopter

A Chula teenager was seriously injured in an accident Thursday evening.

According to Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Doug Little’s report, the 17-year-old driver of an allterrain vehicle had to be taken to Truman Medica Center by helicopter following an accident on Route K, one mile west of Chula. The ATV driver, who was not identified due to his age, was eastbound on Route K when he slowed to make a left turn onto Livingston County Road 251. He gave a hand signal that he was turning left, but another eastbound vehicle, driven by Taylor D. O’Dell of Chula, attempted to pass the ATV on the left, striking the ATV. The juvenile was ejected from the ATV and came to rest on the north side of the roadway, while the ATV continued eastbound, traveling off the south side of the road and coming to rest in a ditch. Ms. O’Dell’s vehicle went off the north side of the road and came to rest in the ditch.

LOCAL One Injury In Saturday Mishap One person was taken by ambulance to Wright Memorial Hospital following an accident Saturday afternoon near Trenton Middle School.

Trenton Police Officer Jen Grider’s accident report states that the mishap occurred on Oklahoma Avenue at the intersection with 16th Street when a Chevrolet HHR passenger car driven by Rosalind Nichols of Trenton was attempting to cross Oklahoma Avenue, westbound from 16th Street. She failed to see a southbound Jeep Wrangler driven by Bart S. Thomas

of Trenton, and pulled into its path. The front of Ms. Nichols’ car struck the driver’s side of Thomas’ SUV, causing the car to overturn. It came to rest on its passenger side.

The Trenton Fire Department and Grundy County EMS responded to the scene, with Ms. Nichols transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. Thomas was not injured in the incident.

Ms. Nichols’ car was towed due to disabling damage, however the SUV sustained only minor damage.

WMH Earns AHA Award Wright Memorial Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Bronze Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures to treat patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

Each year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the deadliest type of heart attack, caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it is critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program helps reduce barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks – starting from when 9-1-1 is called, to EMS transport and continuing through hospital treatment and discharge. Optimal care for heart attack patients takes coordination between the individual hospital, EMS, and health care system.

“EMTs and paramedics play a vital part in the system of care for those who

have heart attacks,” said Tim Henry, M.D., chair of the Mission: Lifeline Acute Coronary Syndrome Subcommittee. “Since they often are the first medical point of contact, they can save precious minutes of treatment time by activating the emergency response system that alerts hospitals to an incoming heart attack patient.”

Program participants apply for the award recognition by demonstrating how their organization has committed to improving quality care for STEMI patients.

“We are honored to be recognized by the American Heart Association for our dedication to providing optimal care for heart attack patients,” said Steve Schieber, Chief Executive Officer, Wright Memorial Hospital. “The Mission: Lifeline program puts proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis so patients have the best possible chance of survival. Our staff works hard to provide the best care possible for our community, and this is just another indicator of our team’s dedication and expertise.”

Latest Parade Judge Named The sixth judge for the 2021 Missouri Days Marching Festival is Ryan Christian, an instructor at Culver-Stockton College.

Christian has extensive teaching experience in the public school system as a music educator. He holds a bachelor of music education degree from CulverStockton College, a master of education in administration from William Woods University and a master in music education from the University of West Georgia. Over his 16 years as a high school band director his bands were very active in marching and jazz events regionally, consistently placing in the top three or receiving top honors in jazz festivals, parades, and field competition.

His marching bands have traveled and participated in several national events across the country, including the 2006 State Street Thanksgiving Day Parade in Chicago and the 2008 Liberty Bowl Halftime in Memphis, TN with national recording artist Sara Evans. His band has also finished in the top five at the Battle of the Bands Marching Competition on

“A Word From”

Want to get your LOCAL NEWS ON-LINE?

by the Trenton Ministerial Alliance Keeping In Practice Rev. Steve Martin Wesley United Methodist Church Not long ago, I was standing in a group of people when someone spoke up and said that they did not believe attending church was important. “I can worship God anywhere and be a good Christian without being part of a church.” Before I could open my mouth, another young man chimed in hardly able to restrain his passion.

“Attending church not important? How can anyone expect to become better at anything if they are not willing to put any effort into it? I am a musician and I have worked most of my life to hone my music skills. It took hours of practice to become proficient enough just to play hymns for church. Even though I can read music, I still must practice regularly. If I were to stop, it would not take long to lose my ability to play well.

So you say attending church is not important that you can worship anywhere?

Church is how a Christian stays in practice. Attending church weekly helps me to focus on the things I need to do as a Christian. Worship helps me to keep my focus

on God and others and instead of myself.

If I neglect attending church, my performance as a Christian begins to suffer. If you want to get better at anything, then have to practice regularly.”

As he finished speaking, I just stood by knowing there was little I could add. In this Covid-19 era, so many people are staying home and not attending church.

Because of this, many folks are are not keeping in practice. As one person recently commented, “Sitting in front of your computer in your underwear on a Sunday morning is not attending church! Worship on a screen simply cannot replace gathering together with other Christians.”

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another...” (Heb 10:24-25a NIV) So can we worship, study the Bible and learn more about our faith without attending church? Yes. But the real question is not can we, but do we? So get up, get dressed, put on your mask if need be, and get to church so that you can stay in practice at being a Christian.

troduced and the coronation will be held, followed by a bonfire.

The THS Student Council has chosen Connie Olmstead as the grand marshal for the parade, which will get under way at 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17. Connie is a 1973 graduate of Trenton High School. She moved to Trenton with her parents, Ed and Dixie Mullins, as an infant. Connie is married to Jay Olmstead, and the family has raised six children in the Trenton R-9 School District. They currently have 15 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, many of whom attend the R-9 School District. Girls athletics were not available when Connie was attending school, but she enjoyed playing sandlot baseball with the neighborhood kids. Her father taught her to pitch in the back yard

and later as an adult she played in a women’s slow pitch softball league. She has played softball and volleyball with her church leagues for many years.

Connie retired in 2019 after teaching 25 years in the special education department, first as a paraprofessional at Rissler Elementary School for eight years and then as a special education teacher at Trenton High School for 18 years. She and her associate, Brenda Thorne, started the Black and Gold Coffee Shop at THS and presented a program introducing the benefits of such a program for transition skills to other special education teachers during the transition conference at the University of Missouri. Connie currently serves as a substitute teacher at all three Trenton Schools and teaches art on Fridays at Pleasant View R-6 School. She also works Mondays at the Trenton Republican-Times. In 2018,

Connie was nominated by the special education administrators and later voted on by the Trenton R-9 School Board as the district’s first “Teacher of the Year,” an accomplishment she said was “a perfect end of a perfect last day of a perfect career.”

As was announced earlier, the theme for the 79th Homecoming is “Out of This World.” and activities began Monday, Sept. 13.

The THS Student Council feels that school spirit began as early as Rissler Elementary for them, so they are encouraging all of the students and faculty at all of the schools to actively participate in carrying on in the spirit of Homecoming.

Spirit Week was kicked off on Monday with Pajama Day. Tuesday was NEON Day, Wednesday will be Alien Day, Thursday is Camo Day and Friday will be the traditional Black Out Day.

As part of the Homecoming activities, the Student Council and mascots will be serving ice cream sundaes on Wednesday for all students who are dressed to show school spirit. During each lunch shift prizes will be given to the student with the most spirit. Homeroom classes will also be allowed to decorate their doors. A pizza party will be awarded to the homeroom that wins.

Homecoming floats will be assembled on Friday, with all students being involved with the activity.

Homecoming attendants are freshmen Kenzie Lynch and Remi Olmstead, sophomores Morgan Foster and Gabe Stark, juniors Maurissa Bonta and Sam Gibson, and senior queen and king candidates Jillian Simpson and Tayler Morton, Lilly Berti and Trager Leeper and Jenna Reeter and Kaden Owen. Crownbearers will be Hank Gott, son of Daniel and Abby

Gott, and Claire Ormsby daughter of Taylor and Michael Ormsby.

Classes in the Trenton R9 District will dismiss early on Friday for the parade (Rissler at 12:55 p.m. and TMS/THS at 1:07 p.m.), which will begin at the THS parking lot. The parade route will take the floats north on Normal Street, west on 17th Street, south on Harris Avenue, east on Ninth Street to Hardee’s, and back to the high school parking lot. Entries are still being sought for the parade.

Prior to kick-off Friday night, the queen and her court will be introduced.

The girls will be escorted down the 50-yard line by their fathers or mothers.

Assisting with the introductions will be the THS Marching Band, under the direction of Anthony Webb, and the THS Color-

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

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 NEVER FORGET towers were still standing at that point. When the third plane hit the Pentagon, we could hear it. More than that, we could feel the explosion.

I made my way back to my office, which at the time looked out across the river towards the Pentagon, and I remember seeing the black smoke billowing into the sky.

It wasn’t long after that we watched the South Tower fall, saw the North Tower collapse, and heard the news of United Airlines Flight 93 crashing in Pennsylvania. It was only later we’d find out that plane was likely headed towards the Capitol. Had it not been for the incredibly heroic actions of the passengers, it may well have hit the Capitol.

There’s a lot we’ve learned since that day— about the courage of those

It’s been 20 years now, but it sure feels like yesterday. For those of us old enough to remember, that day is hard to forget. I’d bet there isn’t one among us that couldn’t tell you exactly where we were that day, what we were doing, and how we learned that terrible news.

I was a young Congressman. I had only been in Washington, D.C. just a few months at that point. I remember standing on the House floor waiting for the Speaker to open session up for the day when suddenly security came and whisked him off the floor. It was surreal.

We were all left there standing around. We had all seen the news earlier that morning, with the planes hitting the towers, but both

that rushed into danger to save others at the towers, at the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. We also learned a lot about the failure of our national security agencies to effectively communicate with each other about terror threats and how Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban used Afghanistan as a training ground and base of operations to carry out the horrific attacks of 9/11.

The late former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used to say that, when it comes to national security, we have to be right every time, the terrorists only have to be right once. That’s a lesson we must never forget.

As I reflect on that day, I’m certainly reminded of those that lost their lives. I also think of those who fought for our country after we were attacked and those who died for our country to make sure we remained safe. I think of the emotions, the decisions made, and the changes that took place in our daily lives in the aftermath. It’s just as startling now as it was then.

20 years later and I think we can agree that 9/11 changed everything.

Media Outlets Remember 9-11 NEW YORK (AP) — Many of the media outlets that explore the country's differences, pausing Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, recalled almost wistfully the sense of common purpose that united Americans in the aftermath of that day.

Television news networks offered wallto-wall coverage of remembrances in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, that were attended by four presidents.

“One should savor these moments of unity this morning — feel how good that feels,” said Fox News Channel anchor Dana Perino, shortly after Bruce Springsteen sang “I'll See You in My Dreams” at New York's World Trade Center memorial.

Normally Fox, CNN and MSNBC spend hours on political warfare, most notably this week Fox's heated response to President Joe Biden's latest COVID-fighting plan.

Perino was one of two ex-press aides to former President George W. Bush to anchor news coverage Saturday; MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace was the other. The networks carried live their former boss' speech in Shanksville. Bush and Vice President Kamala Harris both called for that

long-dissipated sprit of unity to return.

Shortly after, onetime first responder John Feal told MSNBC's Ali Velshi that “we label each other too much. It was great to be a human being” after the attacks.

Selfless acts of sacrifice are what CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell said she was thinking about on Saturday. “We call them heroes, but they are everyday Americans ... that's what's great about this country, (that) terrorists tried to take and did not take away that day.”

Differences didn't melt completely away. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik tweeted he was “disgusted” that President Joe Biden was at the city's ceremony.

Wallace and her co-anchor, Brian Williams, twice talked about former President Donald Trump's absence from Sept. 11 remembrances Saturday — both times without saying his name.

Trump made appearances at a New York police station and firehouse, and the police visit was covered live by Fox. However, the network broke away, and anchor Arthel Neville said that “he did not miss any opportunities to air grievances, including claiming that the election was rigged, which it was not.”

Crowded Stadiums Raise Health Concerns In Regard To COVID-19 Virus (AP) More than 65,000 fans packed a stadium in Tampa to watch Tom Brady lead the Buccaneers to a win in the NFL's season opener, just hours after President Joe Biden announced a sweeping new plan to slow the latest COVID-19 surge.

Most people at the openair stadium Thursday night didn't wear masks. There was no vaccine requirement for fans, something Biden has urged sports and entertainment venues to impose. Many other football stadiums are taking a similarly lax approach to pandemic measures this fall, and that worries health experts.

This fall’s crowded college and professional football stadiums could create ripe conditions for COVID-19 to spread among unvaccinated fans, experts say.

The risk of catching or passing a virus that has infected more than 40 million people in the United States will depend on where the stadium is and whether the game is outdoors, among other factors.

HOW RISKY ARE STADIUMS? It’s difficult to predict how many COVID-19 cases might develop from a single event. That depends partly on infection rates where the venue is located and how many people are vaccinated.

The highly contagious delta variant has triggered a surge in infections this summer that just recently started to taper. The sevenday rolling average for daily new cases in the U.S. sits at about 150,000 after starting September above 167,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.

At those rates, it is “basically a certainty” that there will be at least one infected person at any gathering of a thousand people, epidemiologist Ryan Demmer said.

Many football stadiums seat 60,000 fans or more.

“At any sort of large event like at a football stadium, without question there will be many infected people there,” said Demmer of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

HAS COVID-19 SPREAD AT OTHER EVENTS? Yes. The Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago drew about 385,000 people in late July. Festivalgoers had to show proof of vaccination or a negative test.

Nearly two weeks after the event, city officials reported 203 COVID-19 cases connected to it.

In Wisconsin, health officials have said nearly 500 coronavirus cases may be linked to the crowds that attended Milwaukee Bucks games or gathered outside the arena — estimated as high as 100,000 one night — during the team’s push to the NBA championship.

ARE VENUES TAKING ANY MEASURES? The NFL doesn’t have a blanket policy for masks or vaccination status for fans.

That creates a patchwork of guidelines that each of the 32 teams has developed.

The Las Vegas Raiders, for instance, will require proof of vaccination for all fans 12 and over. The New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks will require that fans show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.

Louisiana State University, a college football powerhouse, has a policy similar to the Saints.

Many teams are asking fans to wear masks indoors but not requiring them while they are in their seats.

Football games are the latest events to resume with full stadiums or arenas, following a summer of concerts, NBA playoff games and baseball.

DO OUTDOOR STADIUMS ELIMINATE RISK? No. But they are considered safer because air circulates better in them, which can hamper the airborne virus’s ability to spread.

That said, there’s still an

“extremely high chance” an unvaccinated and unmasked fan could wind up with COVID-19 if they sit next to an infected person for three hours or so, even outdoors, said Demmer, the epidemiologist.

Most of the NFL’s 30 stadiums are open-air venues.

Four teams have closed roofs — the Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings — and five have retractable roofs that can be opened or closed.

A stadium that opened last year in Los Angeles and is home to the Chargers and Rams has a canopy-type roof and panels at each end that allow air in and out.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN FANS TAKE? The biggest measure is becoming fully vaccinated.

Doctors say the shots don't eliminate risk, but they lower it considerably, especially when it comes to developing a serious case that requires hospitalization.

“The delta variant is ... so much more contagious that if you’ve got clusters of unvaccinated people, it’s going to rip through them,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

Bringing masks and hand sanitizer to the game is a good idea, said Dr. Sharon Wright, chief infection prevention officer at Beth Israel Lahey Health in Boston.

She noted that masks are not perfect, but they offer some protection. They also prevent people from touching their faces.

“Lots of people touch lots of things in sports arenas,” she noted.

Once fans get to their seat, they should try to stay there as much as possible to minimize contact with infected people, Demmer said.

“Don’t wander around the stadium,” he said. “Try not to stand in a lot of concession lines.”

The epidemiologist said there is no question that crowded stadiums this fall will lead to more infections, but he also realizes that “we can’t live for the next five or 10 years not having large gatherings” because of the virus.

“I just wish everyone would get vaccinated and then we can really move past this once and for all,” Demmer said.

far greater success keeping myself in individual counseling so I can be the healthiest version of me, which then changes how I respond and react to my husband.

That is the only way I have ever seen true and sustainable changes in our marriage, and it's the only thing that's helped me keep my sanity. -- Went at It Alone Dear At it Alone: Congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthy relationship and seeking counseling for yourself. But don't give up on marriage counseling. A well-trained therapist will be able to see your husband's narcissism and help him, and you, soften it. Your husband might end up in counseling by himself as well.

Remember, the goal is not to stay in therapy forever; the goal is for you to understand what you need (you are doing that with your individual therapist), for him to understand what he needs (hopefully he will see someone himself) and for the two of you as a couple to talk through what your relationship needs to

Dear Annie: While reading the letter from the "Parent Who Does Not Want to Get Divorced," the way she was describing her husband sounded very much like he might have narcissistic tendencies.

My husband is a narcissist, and the worst thing you can do is go to marriage counseling. I know that sounds crazy, but very few counselors know how to handle narcissism, and because of this, counseling will often only make things worse.

Therapists always approach counseling with the belief that they're dealing with two people who both want to work together and find resolution. However, with a narcissist, their only concern is their image and being right, not in finding common ground to grow from, which makes progress next to impossible.

And honestly, in my experience, they will usually twist everything during the counseling sessions to make the other spouse the bad guy, which only makes you feel more crazy. I've found S&P 500

The troubling statistic in August for the travel industry isn’t that the number of people flying dropped compared with July. That’s normal as summer vacations end and people prepare for the return to work and school routines.

The worrisome figure is that August was weaker than July when compared to the same months in 2019. After months of travel inching closer to normal, August was a step backward.

This week, airlines painted the clearest picture yet of the fallout from the current surge in COVID-19 cases. Just about all of them scaled back forecasts for third-quarter revenue. United Airlines predicted a pretax loss that

number of passengers flying in August was expected to nearly match two years ago but fell short. Industry officials are warning of a slow autumn.

could extend into the fourth quarter. American hinted at a bigger loss than previously expected.

Interestingly, the wave of warnings triggered a rally in airline stocks on Thursday, as investors took heart in comments about the travel slump being temporary. Figures show that the surge in COVID-19 cases that started in July might be peaking.

Investors, however, need to brace for a few more months of weak traffic, interrupted by busy periods around holidays. A top United official warned that October, early November, and the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas will be especially slow.

flourish. Your willingness to look at yourself is great.

From that place, you can help your husband get into counseling.

Dear Annie: You recently printed a letter from two physicians with an alcoholic daughter. Al-Anon is the organization that supports friends and families of alcoholics, and Alcoholics Anonymous is support for the individual with a drinking problem. You recommended Alcoholics Anonymous.

We were in this couple's shoes recently. Our daughter finally saw an addiction specialist, who prescribed a once-a-month shot to eliminate the desire for alcohol.

She took the shot for a year, and it was expensive, but it worked. It's been three years now, and she has no desire to drink. The shot saved her life.

I am sending this letter in the hope that other families can learn of this life-changing, once-a-month shot. -- A Relieved Mother Dear Relieved Mother: Thank you for sharing a suggestion that saved your daughter's life. Hopefully, it can help others struggling in similar situations. The next letter is from another reader whose family also struggled with addiction.

Michael Wilson, who was charged Dec. 9, 2020 with statutory rape, pleaded guilty to the charge on Thursday, Sept. 9 in the Circuit Division of Grundy County Court.

On Dec. 8, 2020 he admitted to Missouri State Highway Patrol Investigator Adam McAtee that the incident in question had occurred.
