Trenton R-9 Cancels Classes

Active COVID-19 case numbers continue to be high in Grundy County, with 126 cases being monitored as of Monday morning.

According to information provided by the Grundy County Health Department, active case numbers are down by two from the data reported to the Republican-Times on Nov. 16 and down three from Saturday, Nov. 21. A total of 617 cases have been reported in the county since testing began, with 18 deaths among those numbers. The numbers include 219 additional cases since Nov. 6.

With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday approaching, the health department is asking persons to be diligent in following recommended health guidelines and limit numbers when holding family events.

Other area counties and their COVID numbers as of Monday include Livingston, 709 (83 active, including 19 hospitalized), 17 deaths); Sullivan, 608 (116 active, 7 deaths); Linn, 604 (129 active, 14 deaths); Carroll, 475 (59 active,

9 deaths); Caldwell, 408 (70 active, 4 deaths); Harrison, 400 (67 active, 5 deaths); Daviess, 349 (95 active, 7 deaths); Putnam, 152 (66 active, 1 death); and Mercer, 72 (16 active, 0 deaths).

COVID has also hit area school districts, with the Trenton R-9 School District making the decision to start its Thanksgiving break two days early and dismissing classes on Monday rather than on Wednesday as had previously been scheduled. Superintendent Mike Stegman said a large number of students and staff have tested positive and/or been quarantined as close contacts to individuals who have tested positive. As a result, it was decided to start the holiday break early to help slow down the spread of COVID19, with no classes or activities, including athletics, being held. Stegman said the district plans to re-open for in-person classes on Monday, Nov. 30.

Christmas Wish Program

Annual Holiday Event Targets Area Youth The Trenton Kiwanis Club, in conjunction with KTTN Radio, has opened the application process for the 2020 Christmas Wish Program.

Preschool and elementary school students in Trenton will have application forms sent home with them. Other families who would like to enroll for the project can pick up applications at the radio station during normal business hours.

Individuals can also contact Kara Helmandollar, program coordinator for the Kiwanis Club, at 359-5966 or message the club on its Facebook page to have an application form mailed to them.

The program is designed to assist low-income families with children ages 12 and under with Christmas gifts for their children. Each child is able to request a specific gift valued at $30 or less. Club members attempt to keep Christmas magical for children by granting those wishes.

Eligible families must live in Grundy County, have custody of the children for whom they are seeking assistance and meet income requirements based on the 2020 Federal Poverty guidelines. Forms will need to be completed and returned to the radio station or the Kiwanis ad-

dress on the form by Friday, Dec. 4.

Funding for the Christmas Wish Project comes from the generosity of area businesses and residents. There are several ways to donate.

In early December, the radio station will air “wishes” of area children during their broadcast. An individual can purchase the specified gift and drop it off at the station, Farmers State Bank at 1503 E. Ninth St. or Dave’s Body Shop on Route Y. Monetary donations will also be accepted at those same locations and will be used to purchase specific gifts.

In past years, the community has been supportive of this project, said Mrs. Helmandollar.

“The holidays can be an especially stressful time for families, particularly those with limited incomes,” she said. “The Kiwanis Club, in conjunction with this caring community of individuals and businesses, is thrilled to help keep the magic of Christmas alive for children in our community.”

Anyone with questions about the program is asked to contact Mrs. Helmandollar at the phone number listed above.

Hospital Beds At Near Capacity

O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Hospital beds across Missouri are nearly four-fifths full, and capacity is even more limited in intensive care units as the coronavirus pandemic continues its autumn surge.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services on Monday cited 2,805 hospitalizations statewide - double the number from a month ago.

The state’s COVID-19 dashboard notes that just 21 percent of capacity remains at hospitals, and ICU capacity is down to 17 percent.

Bed capacity is at 13 percent in northwest Missouri, 17 percent in the St. Louis region and 19 percent in Kansas City.

ICU capacity is at 13 percent in the southwestern part of the state and in St. Louis.

More than 100 patients are hospitalized at CoxHealth facilities in Springfield and elsewhere in the Ozarks region.

“Not a milestone any of us wanted to reach. We need to reverse direction. We can’t pretend this isn’t real. We can’t wish it away. We can’t hope somebody does something,” Erik Frederick, chief administrative officer for Mercy Springfield, wrote on Twitter.

Health care leaders across the state are urging Missourians to wear masks, and many are warning that people should avoid large gatherings - even family gatherings - on Thanksgiving.

The pandemic is taking a toll on travel. While Lambert Airport in St. Louis is seeing increased passengers this week, overall numbers are expected to fall well short of what is typical for the days around the Thanksgiving holiday.

Missouri Senators Postpone Session Due To COVID-Related Illnesses

Many GOP Legislators Resist Mask Regulations LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Many Republican lawmakers in states where coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have surged are not only rejecting statewide mask mandates.

They're also resisting rules requiring them in their own capitols.

Efforts to require lawmakers and staff to wear masks have received a cool reception even in statehouses that have seen outbreaks of the virus or where Republican governors have issued statewide mandates. It's echoing a partisan divide nationwide over a simple step that health experts say is proven to help keep others safe.

“We’re supposed to be modeling for our constituents and for our residents in our state," said Arkansas state Sen. Stephanie Flowers, a Democrat in the majority-Republican Legislature who proposed a rule requiring senators to wear a mask or risk losing their per diem payments. “You’ve got the governor asking everyone to wear a mask and socially distance. It’s not

like I'm asking for something nobody has heard of."

Many legislatures are still planning and drafting rules for their 2021 legislative sessions, while four chambers approved rules requiring masks for sessions this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Nearly 200 legislators nationwide have tested positive for the virus and four have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press. After at least four dozen Mississippi lawmakers tested positive in the largest outbreak in a legislature, where masks were encouraged but not required for lawmakers.

Missouri's Legislature postponed a special session focused on virus relief after a COVID-19 outbreak among lawmakers, and a Tennessee lawmaker said she won't be able to spend Thanksgiving with her mother after attending a hearing where legislators

weren't wearing masks.

Health experts warn the public is taking their cue from elected officials at a time those officials are trying to restrict or discourage indoor gatherings that are fueling a rapid rise in cases.

“We know it works, but if political leaders don’t stand behind their public health officials and say we need to do this, a significant portion of the public may not follow,” said Dr. Jeffrey Levi, professor of health policy at George Washington University.

Legislatures have taken steps to try to limit the virus, with some allowing remote voting and others meeting in larger venues to allow more spacing.

Arkansas' House, for example, met in a basketball arena for two sessions last spring but will return to the Capitol next year.

Twelve Arkansas lawmakers have tested positive for the virus over the past month, the second largest known outbreak in a state legislature.

National Weather Service

Rain is possible on Tuesday night and Wednesday, but the sun will return for Thanksgiving Day with a high of 53. Lows will be in the 30s.

The high on Thursday, Nov. 19 at Trenton was 71, Friday’s high was 58 and Saturday’s high was 46 with .02 of an inch of rain recorded. Sunday’s high was 54 and the low was 37. The high on Sunday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 53, the low was 21.

The latest outbreak began after lawmakers convened at the Capitol for budget hearings last month. The budget panel had adopted a mask rule that didn't require lawmakers to wear them when speaking into a microphone, drinking or if they were at least six feet away from other people.

Flowers has diabetes, which puts her at a higher risk of complications from the virus. She pulled down her proposal for a stricter rule in the Senate to make changes based on concerns raised about the measure and plans to bring a reworked version back when lawmakers convene in January. House Speaker Matthew Shepherd said he expected that chamber to take up a version similar to the Joint Budget Committee's rule.

Republican Sen. Trent Garner called Flowers' proposal and its penalties “draconian" and said the Legislature should be held to the same standard as the statewide mask mandate GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson

signed earlier this year.

“We don’t need to create a ‘tell on each other' rule when it comes to public safety," Garner said.

Tennessee Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson tweeted Tuesday she would no longer have Thanksgiving dinner with her mother after attending a legislative meeting with Republican members who weren’t wearing masks.

“We aren’t having a big family Thanksgiving dinner (with) mom due to COVID, but I was going to eat with her at a distance,” Johnson wrote, adding that being around her legislative colleague for the past two days will now mean she’ll “leave her food on the steps.”

House and Senate leaders in Oklahoma announced plans to impose a mask mandate for employees who work inside the Capitol after two lawmakers tested positive last week. But See GOP, Page 5

Game-Winning Drive Is Just Middle School Teams Split Latest In Mahomes Magic Saga PRINCETON JUNIOR HIGH TOURNAMENT

Boys Take Third, Girls Fall In Double Overtime The Trenton Middle School basketball teams wrapped up play at the Princeton Tournament on Thursday night, competing in the third-place games of the event. The boys avenged last week’s loss to South Harrison with a 34-31 victory to place third. The girls, meanwhile, suffered a 27-23 loss to Gallatin in double overtime.

Trenton led by five at half-

time of the boys contest, then limited South Harrison to just 10 points in the second half, hanging on to win by the threepoint margin.

Hunter Smith and Kiefer Tolson led the boys with 12 points each. Isaac Dixon hit a pair of triples for six points.

The Trenton girls were tied after regulation and one bonus period was not enough to determine the third-place team at the tournament. Gallatin was able to clear Trenton by four points in the second overtime, sending Trenton home with the loss.

“The girls looked like a completely different team tonight,” Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. “They played

QB Hits Kelce With 28 Seconds Left, Chiefs Win

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Even after Jason Witten's touchdown put the Las Vegas Raiders ahead with 1:43 to play, the mood on the Kansas City Chiefs' sideline was calm and cool.

Not much can stop the Super Bowl champs lately. Not when they have the quarterback who makes everything go.

“We’ve got Patrick Mahomes,” running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire said. “I’m not worried about anything.”

Mahomes threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce with 28 seconds to play, and the Chiefs avenged their only loss in the last 12 months with a 35-31 victory over the Raiders on Sunday night.

Mahomes passed for 348 yards and led two go-ahead scoring drives in the frantic fourth quarter for the Chiefs (9-1), who split their season series with Las Vegas (6-4) in

dramatic fashion. Kansas City also took firm control of the race for its fifth straight AFC West title with an assertive comeback in its closest rivals' home building.

“I’d take him over everybody,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Mahomes. “And I’m lucky to have him, as we are as a football team, as we are as a city. When you’re behind, he can make things happen.”

The Chiefs' supreme confidence in their Super Bowl MVP wasn't shaken when they lost 40-32 at home to Las Vegas last month, prompting the Raiders to take a celebratory victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium in their buses.

Kansas City also didn't worry when Mahomes threw only his second interception of the season late in the first half of the rematch.

And when Derek Carr found Witten for the Raiders' goahead score, Mahomes said he knew what would happen next.

“We’re going to score,” Mahomes said. “I just didn’t know if it was going to be overtime, or we were going to win it.”

The Chiefs didn't need a tying field goal: They only needed 75 seconds to march 75 yards, with Mahomes going

6 of 7 on the drive.

Kelce, who caught eight passes for 127 yards, slipped free of Las Vegas' safeties for the easy winning catch and then went back to the sideline to give a joking shoulder massage to Reid. The Chiefs can laugh at fourth-quarter tension, thanks to the man behind center.

“He turns it up when it matters the most, and he was out there showing out tonight,” Kelce said about Mahomes.

Daniel Sorensen picked off a heave to midfield by Carr with 19 seconds left, and the Chiefs kneeled out their 18th win in the last 19 games since Nov. 10, 2019.

Tyreek Hill caught an early touchdown pass for the Chiefs, and Edwards-Helaire rushed for 69 yards and two TDs in a fierce rivalry game. These teams’ mutual distaste was obvious, with plenty of confrontations and yapping after whistles. Kelce and Johnathan Abram had particularly active mouths.

“The rivalry between the Raiders and the Chiefs, I think, is a great thing for football,” said Reid, who improved to 19-3 after his bye week. “It’s great to be a part of it.”

Melia Blanks San Jose In Shootout Keeper’s Brilliance Pushes Sporting Into Next Round

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Tim Melia stopped all three of San Jose's shootout attempts and Sporting Kansas City converted all of its tries to beat the Earthquakes on Sunday after they finished overtime tied at 3 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Top-seeded Sporting advanced to face No. 4 Minnesota, a 3-0 winner later

Sunday at home over No. 5 Colorado.

Gianluca Busio scored in the first minute of stoppage time to give Sporting Kansas City a 3-2 lead, but Chris Wondolowski scored about six minutes later, heading home a high cross to the far post by Cristian Espinoza to force extra time. It was just the second career playoff goal for Wondolowski, who has an MLS-record 166 goals in the regular season.

In the shootout, Johnny Russell opened the tiebreaker with a goal, Melia stopped Oswaldo Alanís, and Ilie Sánchez connected for Sporting. Jackson Yueill was stopped, Khiry Shelton scored, and Melia

stopped Espinoza to end it.

Melia is 6-0 in shootouts.

The 34-year old goalkeeper went into the match allowing goals on just 54% (14 of 26) of the penalty kicks he’s faced, the lowest percentage in MLS history.

Kansas City's Roger Espinoza opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Carlos Fierro answered in the 22nd, and Shea Salinas scored in the 34th minute to give the Earthquakes a 2-1 lead.

Sánchez put away a corner kick by Busio in the 47th minute. It was the 10th goal off a corner kick by Sporting Kansas City this season, most in MLS.

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

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 HOLD FEMA ACCOUNTABLE This week the House passed my bill, the bipartisan Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, to hold the Federal Emergency Management Agency accountable for their mistakes and stop the agency from going after disaster victims that apply in good faith for relief funds.

Last year, when communities across North Missouri were hit by record flooding, it took what felt like an eternity for FEMA to assess the situation and finally get aid to families who lost their homes to flooding. When the money finally did come, many used that money right away, whether it was for home repairs, relocation costs, or replacing what they lost. What they weren’t expecting was for FEMA

to go back on their word and decide they didn’t really qualify for disaster aid. In one case of an individual from Craig, Missouri, FEMA demanded more than $12,000 back from a flood victim they had awarded relief funds. It wasn’t because of fraud or deceit on the part of the person who received it; it was because FEMA made a mistake.

Now $12,000 might be a drop in the bucket to FEMA and the federal government, but that’s a huge deal for a family trying to rebuild their lives after a disaster.

When FEMA does this, it doesn’t just impact one individual or only the cases where FEMA makes a mistake, but every individual that receives FEMA assistance. It makes folks a whole lot more

hesitant to spend disaster relief funds to rebuild their lives if they’re afraid FEMA is going to come knock down their door and demand those funds back.

My bill is simple. It stops FEMA from clawing back funds awarded to disaster victims as long as no fraud is committed in the application process. When a federal agency messes up, they need to own up to it and they need to pay the price, not the folks who are just trying to get back on their feet after a disaster has destroyed their home and their lives. If disaster victims have applied honestly and in good faith, they shouldn’t be penalized for FEMA’s mistake. It also holds FEMA accountable, by requiring the agency to report to Congress on mistakenly awarded funds and making sure these mistakes are limited in the future.

This bill will finally put a stop to the revictimization of disaster victims by FEMA and ensures the agency does what it was meant to do: take care of disaster victims, not harass them, harangue them, and make their lives more difficult.

egislative leaders acknowledged that individual legislaors couldn't be forced to wear masks.

An outbreak among Missouri state senators that postponed a special session focused on federal coronavirus aid hasn't spurred a requirement for lawmakers there to wear masks either. Republican senators were photographed not wearing masks during a caucus retreat with GOP Gov. Mike Parsons. “Senators have been encouraged to wear masks and many have done so as they move around through public spaces," Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz said. “It is, however, ultimately up to each in-

dividual to make that decision.�

The fight among lawmakers in some states goes beyond mask rules to whether information is being withheld about outbreaks in their capitols. In Minnesota last week, Democrats in the state Senate demanded that the chamber's majority leader resign from his leadership post after he and other Senate Republicans failed to notify their Democratic colleagues and others of a potential COVID-19 outbreak among the GOP ranks.

Pennsylvania's House has had a mask rule for its members in place since June, but a couple dozen of the chamber's most conservative Republicans have routinely ignored the mandate, and their party’s

Stegman encouraged all staff, students and district patrons to “do their part� in helping slow the spread of the virus by wearing a mask in public, social distancing when possible and washing their hands.

Jury Duty? No Thanks: Coronavirus Delays Trials HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Jury duty notices have set Nicholas Philbrook’s home on edge with worries about him contracting the coronavirus and passing it on to his fatherin-law, a cancer survivor with diabetes in his mid-70s who is at higher risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19.

Philbrook and his wife, Heather Schmidt, of Camarillo, California, have been trying to convince court officials

that he should be excused from jury duty because her father lives with them. But court officials told him that is not a valid reason and he must appear in court early next month.

“My main concern is you still have to go into a building, you still have to be around a set number of people,” said Philbrook, 39, a marketing company editor. “In an enclosed space, how safe are you? It just doesn’t feel like a right time still to be doing that

kind of stuff on a normal basis.”

People across the country have similar concerns amid resurgences of the coronavirus, a fact that has derailed plans to resume jury trials in many courthouses for the first time since the pandemic started.

Within the past month, courts in Hartford, Connecticut, San Diego and Norfolk, Virginia, have had to delay jury selection for trials because

too few people responded to jury duty summonses. The non-response rates are much higher now than they were before the pandemic, court officials say.

Judges in New York City, Indiana, Colorado and Missouri declared mistrials recently because people connected to the trials either tested positive for the virus or had symptoms.

“What the real question boils down to are people will-

ing to show up to that court and sit in a jury trial? said Bill Raftery, a senior analyst with the National Center for State Courts. “Many courts have been responsive to jurors who have said that they’re not comfortable with coming to court and doing jury duty and therefore offering deferrals simply because of concerns over COVID.” Also this month, state court systems in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey and courts in Denver, Colorado, were among those to suspend all jury trials because of rising virus rates. On Friday, federal officials announced that about two dozen U.S. district courts

across the county have suspended jury trials and grand jury proceedings because of virus outbreaks and too few people showing up for jury duty.

Courts are under pressure to resume trials because of the case backlogs piling up during the pandemic.

A few courts have held trials in person and by video conference. Although video conferences may appear to be the best bet, many criminal defense lawyers oppose them because it's harder to determine witness credibility and to see if jurors are paying attention, said Christopher Adams, a lawyer in Charleston, South Carolina, and president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

“For almost everybody, there is no compelling need for trials to go forward during the pandemic,” he said, adding that most courts are not holding jury trials at the moment.

Adams said another concern is how representative juries would be if trials went ahead — the virus’ impact and the level of concern about it across different demographics, such as Black, Latino and elderly populations that are dying at higher rates, could affect who feels safe to serve jury duty.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have two teenage children, and both of us work out of the home. We try hard to be engaged in our children's lives and be aware of everything they're doing. As working parents, it's not easy, but we try hard.

As our children have become teenagers, we've noticed them becoming increasingly more addicted to their phones.

We've set all types of guard rails around screen time, acceptable apps and taking their phones into their bedrooms.

They listened much better when they first received their phones. Lately, they've been exploiting every opportunity to abuse the rules.

My husband and I have tried to crack down, but we're just not able to constantly be alert.

We know it's important to crack down, so I wanted to reach out and see if you have any advice. Thank you. -Confused About Cellphones Dear Cellphones: First, I applaud you for your focus on this issue. Since you both work, it makes sense for your

kids to have cellphones so you can communicate with them as needed. However, screen time can be a serious issue that impacts social development, communication skills, schoolwork and many other important areas. Other issues including cyberbullying can arise as well.

You and your husband should begin by staying firm on your rules for cellphone use. Also, there should be no cellphones in their bedrooms, particularly at night, or at the dining table. In fact, phones should be silenced or turned off during meals. Put parental controls and locks on apps when possible, and maintain the right to conduct random searches of their call log, email and apps. Have your children sign a contract that enforces escalating punishment, such as a 24-hour period without their phone for the first infraction, 48 hours for the second, 72 hours for the third, etc.

You may do all this in a positive way. Let them know that you are going to give them independence to use their phones

but hold them accountable to using them in a mature and thoughtful way. Have a conversation about cyberbullying, phone etiquette and the dangers of posting or sending messages without understanding long-term implications.

Encourage your children to communicate openly with you about any issues they may have or anything that is making them uncomfortable. Good luck!

Dear Annie: My only child, "Frank," died unexpectedly on July 14, 2019. He was 34 years old. I want to tell all parents who worry that they don't get to see their adult children often enough to appreciate each moment with their happy and healthy children. The pain of losing a child will never go away or ease. So, even though you may not see them as often as you want, treasure each moment. -- Still Hurting Dear Still Hurting: I can feel the -- very understandable -- pain in your letter and am so very sorry you lost your son.

You highlight an important message: Be grateful for each day, and each day spent with a loved one. Life is a gift to be treasured.

Box office blues

The pandemic is restructuring the cinema business in ways that may outlast the outbreak.

Many theaters are closed. And those that are open aren’t getting many customers because of concerns about the coronavirus and a lack of new films to see. Studios are delaying major movie releases and even bypassing theaters entirely by streaming online.

Domestic box office is expected to drop about 80% this year, wrote MoffettNathanson analysts in October. While next year looks better, it could still fall 35% short of the 2019 take.

To cope, theater

chains are renting out screens for private watch parties. AMC and Cinemark have cut deals with Universal that lets the studio put movies online just a few weeks after they hit theaters, rather than the traditional three months. AMC says the Universal deal is helping them stay open.

Such deals could accelerate a trend of blockbusters playing at the theater, while smaller films are watched at home. In the latest twist, WarnerMedia’s sequel to the popular 2017 “Wonder Woman” is being released both in theaters and on its own app, HBO Max, on Christmas Day.
