GRANNY GAMES It was a close game but the Pastors/Retired Teacher team took a victory from the Grannies in a charity game played Saturday afternoon at the Ketcham Community Center. Above, retired teacher Barb Spencer, left, throws the ball in to First Baptist Church Pastor Josh Gottman, while some of the members of the Granny Basketball League harass him. Gottman and other men playing on the team, as well as those under 50, were “handicapped” by a oven mitt. The game, which was organized in Trenton by Cindy Guthrie, was a fundraiser for The Gifted Group and the North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center. Efforts are under way to organize a Granny basketball team in Grundy County and Mrs. Guthrie can be contacted for more information at cindyguthrie@hotmail.com.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL — WEEK 5 TRENTON BULLDOGS 18, MILAN WILDCATS 14

PUTNAM CO. MIDGETS 20, PRINCETON TIGERS 14

TO THE TOP

Turnovers Cost Tigers Princeton Turns The Ball Over Five Times In Road Loss To Putnam County The Princeton Tigers played by far their best defensive game of the season on Friday night in Unionville. Five turnovers on the offensive side of the ball, however, were too many for the Tigers to overcome. The giveaways added up and Putnam County was able to do just enough with them to hand Princeton a 20-14 loss, the fifth in a row for the Tigers to open the season. “We did everything we could to win that game but we also did just about everything we could to give it away,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “It’s on me to make the right calls to take advantage of what the defense is giving us and I made some bad calls tonight being too aggressive and not staying patient and doing what was working. “Turnovers have been a thorn in our side all season and that continued. All these turnovers are nothing but a free pass for our opponents and we aren't going to be successful until we get those under control.” After a scoreless first quarter, Princeton took a 6-0 lead on a 58-yard touchdown pass from Logan Smith to Austin Kelly. A long touchdown run by the Midgets, however, and a safety, sent Princeton into halftime trailing 8-6. In the third quarter, Putnam County turned a Princeton turnover into a 35-yard touchdown return and a second rushing score of over 30-yards put Princeton in a 206 hole entering the final frame. Tyler Brown had a 2-yard touchdown run and 2-point conversion to bring Princeton within six points, but that would be all they would get as Putnam County held on for the victory. “Our kids played extremely hard tonight and defensively had our best night of the season,” Powell said. “[Our defense] only gave up two scores and we saw some improvement in our kids making their reads and reacting as opposed to sitting and thinking which is a huge step in the right direction.” Austin Rhoades led the Tigers with 98 rushing yards on 18 carries. Smith threw for 146 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions and Talan Holt caught five passes for 88 yards. Princeton (0-5, 0-3 GRC) will be at home Friday, playing host to Maysville.

Big Game From Sam Gibson Lifts Trenton To 18-14 Win Over Milan With a bus bound for Milan idling in the Trenton High School parking lot, Sam Gibson found himself across the street on the practice fields, running over some things with head coach Kevin Hixson. Gibson had missed three days of school and three practices while COVID-19 close contact protocols played out. But, he was cleared to return — both to school and football activities — on Friday. Boy, did he return. Gibson opened Trenton’s match-up with Milan by ripping off an 86-yard touchdown run. He closed it by grinding out three first downs to effectively kill the last 4:05 on the clock, sending Trenton into sole possession of first place in the Grand River Conference with an 18-12 victory over the Wildcats. “Can you believe the fire they had,” Hixson said of his team in the moments after the win. “It was all the way down the line. Our kids just played with heart, never gave up and everything that we talked about, they did it. I can’t be more proud.” It was billed as a heavyweight matchup with Trenton and Milan tied with Polo atop the league standings. Both the Bulldogs and Wildcats featured big-time playmakers at running back in Gibson and

Milan’s Deric Doporto. It was a match-up those in and around the conference were anxiously awaiting — and almost didn’t get. When Trenton stepped on the field, though, there was number 20 in the backfield. After the 86-yard touchdown run, Gibson continued to be a force, finishing the game with 196 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 21 carries. The Bulldogs were also aided by four Milan turnovers. The second Wildcat fumble led to Trenton’s second score on the night — a 6-yard run by Gibson. Trenton had put the ball in the end zone a play earlier on a quarterback keeper, but the Bulldogs were flagged for ‘helping the runner’ when players pushed and shoved to get Griffin across the goal line. Flags would be a real issue for Trenton all night long, though, and an ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ penalty on the heels of a big Milan return set up the Wildcats deep in Trenton territory. Deric Doporto, though not as electric as Gibson on this night — would rush for over 150 yards and got Milan on the board just before halftime with an 18-yard run. Milan would then take the lead on the opening possession of the second half,

another scoring drive sustained by a Trenton penalty — this one a ‘horse collar’ call. Darren Doporto scored on an 18-yard sweep and Deric Doporto cashed in the 2point conversion to thrust the Wildcats into a 14-12 advantage. After Trenton was forced to punt, Milan had an opportunity to grab the game by the throat. But Trenton’s defense came to the rescue. Caleb Johnson picked up a strip sack of Milan quarterback Michael Pipes and Gabe Stark took it to the house for an apparent touchdown. While Milan’s third turnover would stand, Trenton had points taken off the board for the second time on the night as an ‘illegal block’ during the return negated the six. As was the case the first time Trenton lost a touchdown, however, the Bulldogs still found their way across the goal line. Trenton finally got on the receiving end of a big call as Milan was flagged for helmet-to-helmet contact on Bulldog running back Gabe Novak. That placed the ball at the 6-yard line and gave Trenton a muchneeded first down. Three plays later, Gibson had a 2-yard touchdown. Milan would have its hands on the ball two more times in the game after Trenton [See TRENTON, Page 3]

GALLATIN BULLDOGS 26, MAYSVILLE WOLVERINES 20

Gallatin Bounces Back Bulldogs Get The Job Done In The Air Nothing came easy for the Gallatin Bulldogs Friday night against Maysville, but when the clock hit zero, they left the Cemetery Bowl with a 26-20 Grand River Conference victory. Maysville’s loaded front shut down pretty much every rushing avenue Gallatin tried, but the Bulldogs made up for it in the air. Quarterback Peyton Baker completed 10-of-18 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. His favorite targets on the night were Isaac Bird, who had four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown, and Payton Feiden, who hauled in two passes for 89 yards and a score. Draven Wright also had

three catches for 48 yards. “We knew Maysville would be solid defensively and we had our struggles trying to run the football against their 4-4 defense,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “We did find a great deal of success through the air, though.” Maysville drew first blood, scoring midway through the first quarter, but Gallatin answered on the ensuing possession, scoring on Baker’s first touchdown throw, this one to Feiden. A successful point-after kick gave the Bulldogs the lead. Maysville went back in front just before the end of the quarter, though, and Gallatin trailed 12-7. With just over five minutes left in the half Gallatin re-took the lead, doing so on a touchdown run from Roddell Sperry. Bird grabbed two interceptions to keep Maysville off the board,

then caught a touchdown pass from Baker to push the Gallatin advantage to 20-12 with six minutes left in the third quarter. Maysville roared back, scoring on its next two possessions to tie the game at 20-20. Baker, who led Gallatin with 31 yards rushing on eight carries, scored on a rushing touchdown with 9:32 left. Gallatin’s defense took over from there, shutting down Maysville the rest of the way to preserve the win. “I thought we played pretty well defensively, especially in the second half,” Treece said. “We were put in some bad situations by us turning the ball over and giving Maysville a short field to work with. The team stepped up late in the game and played inspired football. We were able to make the stops that we needed to get the ball

back and run out the clock.” With the win, Gallatin improved to 3-2 overall on the season and 2-1 in GRC play. Gallatin will look to

keep its momentum rolling this week as the Bulldogs host Milan on Homecoming night. “It was important for us to come away with a road

win after our one-point loss at Polo last week,” Treece said. “We had to get back on track and I think we accomplished that.”

Bulldogs Rally Past Hornets Top Four Grab Singles Wins To Carry Trenton TRENTON 5, CHILLICOTHE 4 The Trenton High School tennis team scored its second victory over Chillicothe this season, taking down the Hornets 5-4 on the road Thursday. Trenton fell behind 2-1 in doubles play, a reversal of what occurred in a 6-3 win for Trenton over Chillicothe back on Sept. 14 at home. The Hornets were able to flip the result of the number-one doubles match as Mallory Sole and Alaina Overton were defeated 8-5. The other two doubles matches were very close with Trenton winning at number two where Astrid Soriano and Lydia Leininger were 9-7 winners and falling at number three where

Harley Hall and Jillian Voorhies were defeated by a 9-7 score. As was the case in the first dual, however, Trenton controlled singles play at the top of the lineup. Sole won her match 8-5 and Soriano was an 8-6 winner at number two. Overton and Leininger followed with wins of 8-1 and 8-4 respectively to seal the dual victory for the Bulldogs. Singles play closed with Hall falling 8-2 and Voorhies losing 8-0. “It was a hard-fought win on the road,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “I’m proud of my team and their hard work.” Trenton, winners of four straight, moved to 7-4 overall on the season. The Bulldogs were in St. Joseph to take on Benton on Monday and close out regular season play today (Tuesday), traveling to Lexington for a 4 o’clock dual with the Minutewomen.

Trenton Scores Huge Win [TRENTON, from Page 2] re-took the lead. The first possession was killed by back-to-back tackles for loss by Stark and Johnson. The second saw Milan botch a snap and Trenton’s defense, which seemed to get stronger and stronger as the game went along, swarmed the loose ball to collect the Wildcats’ fourth and final turnover. “[The defense] played hard and hit,” Hixson said. “Gabe Stark is not a very big kid, but he causes some havoc in there. He is quick and he is kind of shifty. He had a couple of big tackles late here. It was just ginormous for us. “It was just a whole team

effort, really. Offensively we executed well, defensively they got out there, answered the call a couple of times. I am just elated. I am just so proud of the way they played and never gave up.” From there on out, it was the Sam Gibson show as the junior fullback bullied Milan’s front for first down after first down while the clock melted away. Milan burnt all three timeouts after two Trenton first downs. When Gibson tallied the next first down the game was over. Trenton kneeled twice and the celebration was on. Combined with Polo’s loss to South Harrison,

Trenton’s win placed Trenton atop the league with no equals at 3-0. Milan, South Harrison, Gallatin and Polo — Trenton’s opponent this week — all sit one game back with 2-1 league marks. Novak added 62 yards on 14 carries, Ian Elbert ran for 32 yards on 5 carries and Griffin had 29 yards on 7 carries as Trenton rushed for 319 yards in the win. Trenton now sits at 3-2 overall and will look to maintain their spot at the top of the standings on Friday as the Polo Panthers come to C.F. Russell Stadium fresh off a 32-22 loss at home. Kick off is set for 7 p.m. in Trenton.

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

Trenton Golfs At Chilli Tournament Chumbley Leads Trenton With A Score Of 121 The Trenton High School girls golf team was in action on Thursday, traveling to the Green Hills Golf Course for the Chillicothe Tournament. Trenton would card a team score of 520 at the event, placing them 14th overall. Leading the way for Trenton was Josie Chumbley. An up-and-down front nine saw Chumbley finish with a 60. She didn’t see the peaks and valleys she incurred on the front after making the turn, but wound up with a similar score, shooting a 61 to give her a tournament total of 121. Freshman Reece Weldon got off to a good start, shooting a front-nine 58, but scuffled a bit down the stretch. She finished the back side of the course with a 70, giving her a 128 for the tournament. Mari Atup used a frontnine 65 and back-nine 66

to arrive at her total of 131 and a 140 from Sofia Currie rounded out Trenton’s team score. Currie carded a 70 on both the front and back nines to reach her total. Also in action for Trenton was Morgan Brown who had nine-hole splits of 71 and 81 to give her a final mark of 152. Kirksville won the tournament with a score of 356 and Cameron and Maryville rounded out the top three with team marks of 397 and 420 respectively. Individually, Kirksville’s Abby Davis shot a 79 to take first overall. Marceline’s Tess Sheerman was second at 82 and Benton’s Jaida Cox and Kirksville’s Maya Mckiver tied for third individually, both shooting an 86. Trenton’s golfers will return to action today (Tuesday), playing host to South Harrison at the Riverside Country Club. The Bulldogs will be at the RCC on Wednesday as well, hosting Putnam County. Both duals are scheduled for 4 p.m. tee times.

COURTNEY CROSE chips onto the green on the third hole at the Daviess County Country Club on Thursday. Crose won medalist honors at the Gallatin Triangular, topping Bulldog teammate Elle Copple on a scorecard playoff after each finished the round with a score of 50.

RESPONSE TEAM Gallatin Golfers Respond To Challenge With neither Princeton nor Albany bringing enough golfers to post a team score, Gallatin’s home triangular at the Daviess County Country Club on Thursday quickly morphed into an event for selfimprovement. Bulldog coach Chris Wever challenged his varsity golfers to go out and break 60 at the event. By the time the clubs stopped swinging, four of the five Gallatin golfers had done just that and the one that missed was just one stroke off the pace, shooting an even 60. “The team responded well to a challenge I gave them, which is great to see,” Wever said. “Our focus going into the final stretch of the season is right where we want it to be.” Gallatin’s top two golfers — Elle Copple and Courtney Crose — were never a concern for Wever and did just what was expected of them. They both shot a 50 to tie for top honors at the triangular. The scorecard playoff went to the top handicapped hole

on the course — hole 6. Crose carded a 6 on the hole while Copple had a 7, giving Crose the medal for the event. Copple had Gallatin’s lone par on the day, carding a 3 on the fifth hole at the club. Behind the top duo,

Kylie Stagner finished with a 57 and Brianna Filley had a 59 to round out Gallatin’s team score of 216. Cloey Waterbury was also in varsity action for the Bulldogs, finishing one stroke behind Filley with a 60. Princeton brought three golfers to the event and

Riley Moreno had the third lowest score at the triangular, shooting a 54. Moreno recorded a par on hole 2 with a score of 3 and carded a 3 on hole six as well, good for a birdie on the top handicapped hole on the course. Behind Moreno, Princeton got a score of 66 from Labrina Templeton and Cheyenne Dinsmore finished with a 75. “The team has been practicing very hard the last few weeks and it is paying off in our scores,” Princeton coach Dave McCumber said. “Riley Moreno set a personal best at Gallatin with a 54. Riley’s dedication is showing in her low scores and she is peaking at the right time. I am looking forward to the rest of the season.” Gallatin had four junior varsity golfers in action at the event as well with Madison Kirk leading that group with a score of 61. Kiley Poindexter followed with a 64 and Hannah Critten had a 68. Gallatin’s JV efforts were rounded out by a 78 from Addison Sipple. Gallatin and Princeton will both return to the links on Thursday, traveling to the Brookfield Tournament.

COMMUNITY CHURCH ACTIVITIES

West Circle Discusses Finances The West Circle, of Christian Women's Fellowship, Disciples of Christ, met at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1 in the Seekers' Classroom of the First Christian Church at Trenton. The meeting was called to order by President Tina Marrs, who led the CWF Prayer. Special prayer requests were made known. Tina Marrs, Ali McCully, Sonna Wiggins, Betty Wimer, Sonja Wimer and Kay Stuart were the six members present. S e c r e t a r y / Tr e a s u r e r Sonja Wimer discussed the last meeting, which was a picnic/BBQ at the home of Sonna Wiggins. She also read the treasurer's report. Possible and probable fundings, using the saved amount, were discussed in new and old business. The items discussed included bereavement dinners, camp for youth, blessing boxes, prayer shawls, scholarships for ministries and Woodhaven Learning Center (the last two listed are under the auspices of Ward Circle) as

well as Christmas benefactors. The general Christian Women’s Fellowship has been disbanded, so the sum gathered and garnered is in the hands of Betty Wimer, Treasurer, who let us know some banking has to be altered for use of check signing. A sign-up sheet for hostess and Bible Study leaders was passed and banner (Tina Marrs), flower (Alli McCully) and bulletin board (Betty Wimer and Theresa Cox) duties were brought to the group's attention. Betty Wimer showed evidence of God's love and detail in nature, with coincidental data and pictures. After the CWF benediction, coffee, tea and refreshments were enjoyed, complements of Tina Marrs and Betty Wimer. The next meeting had been scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 6 but will be rescheduled due to the Rhonda Vincent concert. The “Women of the Bible” study will be discussed.

more time, perhaps a few hours each month, could become a project leader for a topic they enjoy sharing with others, especially young people. Those with more than a few hours each month to volunteer could become a club leader, chaperone for events or lead multiple projects. “From leading clubs and projects, to coordinating events and experiences, volunteers make it possible for 4-H members to find their spark.” says MU Extension Volunteer Specialist, Eric Jackson. “Knowing that they serve joyfully and selflessly, it’s easy to see that their spark is to help young people find theirs.” Those who would like to volunteer in Grundy and/or Mercer County, are asked to contact Ms. Meighen at 660-359-5636 or email meighena@missouri.edu to discuss where their talents could best be put to use.

Final Festival Judge Named

HARVEST TIME IS UPON US Believe it or not, it is almost October. The days are quickly growing shorter, the air is getting cooler and our wonderful farmers are beginning to harvest their crops. This means they will be delivering those goods to market very soon, and it takes them just a little longer to get there than it does for the rest of us. Fortunately, we are used to seeing tractors and other farm equipment on the roads here in the great northwest part of our state. Despite your familiarity, I remind you to exercise caution when out and about this time of year. It does not matter if you have driven for 30 years or it is your first time behind the wheel, please slow down when you see slow-moving farm equipment. You never know what could be on the other side of the sharp corner along that lettered highway you have driven a thousand times, it could be a farmer working to provide for his family, and yours. According to a recent Missouri Agriculture Foundation and University of Missouri

The Grundy and Mercer County 4-H programs are looking for volunteers to help local youth in a variety of capacities. According to April Meighen, University of Missouri Extension Youth Program Associate for Mercer and Grundy counties, Mis-souri 4-H thrives because of its many volunteers, each who have their unique talents and passions. 4-H provides a wide variety of opportunities for youth, which in turn requires many volunteers. This allows people to volunteer in a capacity that fits their lifestyle. Volunteers who are passionate about what they do pass on knowledge, skills and excitement to youth, allowing them to find what sparks their interest. Even those who only have a few hours of time on occasion to give could judge a contest, teach a skill or assist with a community service activity. People with

Extension study, there were 107,000 Missourians employed in professions that directly related to agriculture last year. Overall, nearly 400,000 Missourians owe at least part of their livelihood to agriculture. And, for our farmers out there, I realize this has been another challenging year. We have seen floods and droughts wreak havoc on crops over the past few years, from one condition to another, and both in the same year, sometimes. Add to this the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic and the future seems unclear. But, I know our farmers are ready to take on any task, and we thank them for all that they do. They are ready for just about anything that comes their way. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.g ov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Rotarians At Tree Farm Joe DeVorss presented the program to members of the Trenton Rotary Club, who traveled to the DeVorss farm for its meeting and social on Thursday night, Sept. 23. DeVorss told about his chestnut tree crop, which he started over three years ago. He has both seedlinggrown and grafted trees, which are starting to produce chestnuts that he will be able to sell. He said chestnuts are more popular overseas, however, they are

gaining popularity in the United States. There is a Chestnut Festival held yearly at the University of Missouri Farm at New Franklin, where persons can learn more about the crop. The group also took a tractor tour of DeVorss’ farm to see the chestnut trees. The next club meeting will be at noon on Thursday, Sept. 30 at the BTC Bank community room. Ryan Tepen will present the program.

The next edition of Missouri Life Magazine’s Big BAM (Bicycle Across Missouri) is just three weeks away, with more than 100 cyclists already registered and plenty of room for more to join the cross-state trek on the Katy Trail. The recreational autumn ride takes place Oct. 11-15. Day 1 is 36 miles from Clinton to Sedalia, Day 2 is 36 miles from Sedalia to Boonville, Day 3 is 48 miles from Boonville to Jefferson City, Day 4 is 44 miles from Jefferson City to Hermann, and Day 5 is 44 miles from Hermann to Defiance. A shuttle is available from Defiance to Clinton on Oct. 10 for those who wish to leave their vehicles in Defiance. Cyclists may also leave their vehicles in Clinton if they have a ride back at the end of the ride. “We’ll be enjoying crisp fall air, amazing scenery, and great company,” says Greg Wood, Big BAM director. He also promised small towns; history; delicious food; and wineries, distilleries, and breweries, “not to mention the Katy Trail, which is celebrating its 31st anniversary this year.” For more information and to register, visit https://www.bigbamride.co m/bam-on-the-katy. Greg is also publisher of

the event sponsor, Missouri Life magazine, which is the state’s largest paid circulation travel and lifestyle magazine. He says cyclists will stop at restaurants and other establishments along the ride, supporting local businesses. Big BAM is a fully supported ride, which includes a camping area each night, gear transport, hot showers, water and relief stations every 10 to 15 miles, SAG support, and bicycle mechanics. Sue DiPiano of Foristell is making her fifth crossstate Katy Trail ride with the upcoming Big BAM.

“I just love the organized rides,” she explains. “Different people come from all over. It’s a little community just moving down the trail, so it’s a lot of fun.” Sue is planning to get her ride started a day or so earlier with a roughly 60-mile ride from Pleasant Hill to Clinton on a completed section of the Rock Island Trail. Her advice for ride veterans and newbies alike is to “be flexible and go with the flow.” Sue says she is already looking forward to evening time together with other cyclists, revisiting some fa-

vorite places along the route, and discovering new spots. Her gear will include two duffle bags, a tent and sleeping bags, and “enough clothes for the weather.” Greg says the necessary gear also includes water bottles to refill, spares tubes and a pump, sunscreen, batteries for e-bikes, and a spare charger or power bank for mobil e devices. For more details, call Greg at 660-537-2521, email at greg@missourilife.com, or visit https://www.bigbamride.co m/bam-on-the-katy.

Dear Mothers: Thank you so much for loving your children unconditionally. May your letters comfort any child who doesn't feel completely loved and accepted by their parents for any reason. Dear Annie: I am writing to you in response to "Riley," the gay teen who wrote to you because, since his coming out as gay, his parents have decided that he is no longer invited on family outings or welcome at relatives' homes. I am the mother of three (out of four) gay children, and this letter broke my heart. No child should be made to feel unloved by their family, especially by their own parents. I understand that when you find out your child is LGBTQ, it can take some adjusting for some parents. You are changing the mindset that you have had about your child for his entire life, but you need to work through that and always love your child. The way these people are treating Riley, quite hon-

estly, just seems cruel. I loved my children the day they were born; I loved my children the day they told me they were gay; and I will love my children every day, because I am their mother. I don't love my children in spite of the fact that they are gay. I love them because they are gay and that is a part of who they are and a part of what makes them perfect and beautiful. I hope this family gets counseling and finds healing because I don't believe Riley deserves to spend his teenage years feeling this way. These should be the best years of his life. If Riley needs a surrogate mom when he turns 18, please pass along my info at that point. -- Everyone Deserves a Mom Dear Everyone Deserves a Mom: Thank you for your letter. I am printing it so that the other Rileys of the world know they are not alone. Here is a letter from a mom who lost her son: Dear Annie: I would

love to tell "Riley" that he is brave. He is strong! He is loved by so many! Never give up! You MATTER!!! My son was not gay, but I lost him at age 15 to suicide. I'd give anything to have him back. If my son had told me he was gay, l would have loved him no differently. He would still be my son. I would have gotten an "extra" son if and when he found his "person." Parents should truly put aside THEIR opinions on how they want their kids' lives to be. You can have opinions, but you cannot force your will on them. If you apply force, after a certain point, anger, resentment and a huge rift appears. I'd rather have my son back, gay, bi, straight, purple. Alien. I'd rather have him back than to lose him over something that can be a topic of conversation and resolution. -- A Grieving Mom Dear Grieving Mom: I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Thank you for sharing your perspective on loving and appreciating children. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

U.S. housing slows America’s housing market emerged as a standout economic performer during the viral pandemic. The Federal Reserve’s ultra-low- interest rate policies helped drive mortgage rates to historic lows and spurred sales and price increases. But home building has cooled in recent months in the face of soaring prices for materials, supply chain problems and labor shortages. The slowdown occurred after March, when construction reached its fastest pace since the housing boom of the mid-2000s. Though construction did rise in August to a seasonally

adjusted annual rate of 1.62 million units, the increase was due solely to a jump in multi-family apartment building. In the much larger single-family-home sector, construction slowed and is now 14.3% below its March high. Still, many economists remain optimistic about the housing sector. Lumber prices, which had been surging, have fallen back. And difficulties in obtaining other building materials are expected to ease as supply chain issues are resolved. The result is that housing could remain strong in the coming months — just not at the sizzling levels achieved early in the economic recovery.

Pianist for church and high school theater, dedicated farmer and conservationist, singer, farmer/forester/politician’s wife, sports-Mom, Chiefs, Royals and Vikings fan, (two out of three ain’t bad!), and servant of God. That’s but a few roles played by Beverly. She is survived by her husband, Jim; sons and daughters-in-law, Chris and Eric, Shelley and McKenna; and grandchildren Madison, Drew Mendez, Wilder and Coltrane; sisters, Marge Schapaugh, Marilyn Dunn and sister-

Beverly Rae Whorton

in-law, Mildred Doughty and many, MANY, beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by brothers Eugene and Merle Doughty; sisters Rose-Anna Ramian, Kathryn Risser and her twin sister, Barbara. A celebration of life may be planned in the future. Donations and tributes can be sent to the North 65 Senior Center and Green Hills Animal Shelter. They can be left at or mailed to Slater-Neal Funeral Home, 813 Custer St, Trenton, MO 64683.

TMU To Utilize Free Chlorine Conversion Beginning Friday, the Trenton Municipal Utilities Water Treatment Plant will begin utilizing free chlorine, or a free chlorine conversion, in its water system. This process entails feeding free chlorine, instead of chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia), as the disinfectant as it is leaving the Water Treatment Plant. This will affect customers of Trenton Municipal Utilities, Grundy County PWSD #1, the City of Galt and the City of Spickard. Western Sullivan County will be affected if they are using water from TMU. This will occur for three to six weeks. Here are some commonly asked questions about free chlorine conversion and its purpose: • Possible Noticeable Effects: There are no associated health risks to the process. During these efforts to improve water quality, there will be times of lower water pressure, possible odor, taste, discoloration and small particles in the water. TMU and/or your water service will attempt to flush the particles, color, and taste and odors from the mains with directional flushing, however there is a possibility that some of the color, odor and tastes will get into your service line. • Is my Water Safe to Drink? Yes, TMU

Water Department is dedicated to making sure the water is safe to drink and will monitor disinfectant levels continually during the conversion. If you experience odor or taste in your water, it does not mean it is unsafe to drink. Odors are caused by the free chlorine disinfectant cleansing the system. Nuisance issues will go away as the work is completed. • Why is this conversion necessary? TMU and their customer departments are tasked with ensuring that the water in all points of their systems are acceptable to their customers. Over time, minerals, and metals, which are naturally present in the water source, can increase and attach to pipe walls, and release when there are changes in pressure, resulting in discoloration and affecting taste. Other processes such as nitrification and the growth of biofilm can also occur in the water distribution system. The biofilm can cause reduction in the effectiveness of residual disinfectants over time. This free chlorine conversion will help cleanse the pipe walls, reduce the occurrence of nitrification and biofilm, and ensure that we provide quality water for our customers. If there are questions or concerns, please contact the Water Treatment Plant at 3593211.

Driver Injured On Route E

A Trenton woman sustained moderate injuries in an accident investigated Friday afternoon north of Laredo on Route E, while a Cameron woman was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle in Altamont. According to Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper B.N. Raney, Sidney R. Lynch of Trenton was the driver of a 2004 Toyota Tundra that was northbound on Route E about three miles north of Laredo. Ms. Lynch failed to negotiate a curve and the vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway. She overcorrected and the vehicle returned to the roadway, but skidded out of control and traveled back off the right side, striking an embankment. The vehicle then overturned and came to rest on its wheels, facing north off the right side of the road. Ms. Lynch, who was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton by the Grundy County Ambulance Service. The vehicle was totaled and was towed from the scene. Trooper Raney was assisted at the scene by Trooper J.E. Hainey and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department. A pedestrian was taken by LifeFlight Eagle to Truman Medical Center Sunday evening after being struck by a car as she tried to cross Highway 6 in Altamont. According to Trooper M.J. Miller’s accident report, Cassie F. James of Cameron was attempting to cross Highway 6 in Altamont from the south side of the roadway at about 8:45 p.m. when she was struck by an eastbound car driven by Nicole R. Gutierrez of Gallatin. Injuries sustained by Ms. James were described by the patrol as being serious. Trooper Miller was assisted at the scene by Sgt. J.M. Cross, Sgt. A.A. Henry, the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and the K & W Fire Department.

Mishap On Ninth Street

No injuries were reported, but two vehicles were damaged in an accident investigated Thursday by the Trenton Police Department. According to Officer Michael Williams’ accident report, the mishap occurred when a car driven by Alex M. Scheib of Trenton was backing from a driveway on East Ninth Street. He failed to see a car driven by Michaela K. Foster of Laredo, which was eastbound on East Ninth Street. Scheib’s car struck the front passenger side of Ms. Foster’s car, causing moderate damage to both vehicles, which were towed from the scene.
