Economic Development Impact To Area
What The New ‘Bed Tax’ Means Editor’s Note: The Trenton Republican-Times will be publishing a weekly series of articles regarding the activities of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance and information about economic and community development in Grundy County. By Micah Landes, Director North Central Missouri Development Alliance Hotels are considered an important economic component to any community. The economic impact to local and regional economies from hotel development is typically separated into four categories: direct, fiscal, indirect and induced. Direct impact includes all projected revenues that will be generated from consumers at the new hotel. This will include all room revenues, food and beverage as well as other potential revenue sources such as parking. Direct impact also includes total payroll paid out to employees hired at the hotel as well as all payroll paid out to temporary construction workers who construct the hotel. Fiscal impact refers to all federal, state, and local taxes that will be collected from the development and operation of a hotel. Taxes include all sales taxes collected in association with the hotel-generated rev-
enues as well as all payroll-related taxes collected from full-time hotel employees and temporary construction workers. Local governments will also collect new property taxes from the operation of the hotel. Many local governments will also collect revenues through lodging taxes. Indirect Impact - In addition to local governments and hotel owners/employees, contractors and suppliers to a newlydeveloped hotel will also benefit. Indirect impact includes all jobs and income generated by businesses that supply goods and services to the hotel. Examples of businesses that will indirectly benefit from the development of a hotel include suppliers of room-related goods (housekeeping supplies, room amenities, etc), telecommunication vendors (internet, cable, etc.), utility companies, food and beverage suppliers and other hotel-related vendors. Induced impact refers to economic effects generated when employees (full-time and temporary) and suppliers re-spend their wages on local consumer purchases. For example, an employee may purchase gas for their car on their way home from work. Lastly, the hotel also brings people from outside of our normal trade area, that you hope will purchase gas, eat meals and

shop while visiting. We are thankful to have a new hotel that has recently opened and new cottages that are currently being built that plan to be open in Spring 2021. Thanks to our forward-thinking Trenton voters who this past June gave nearly 70 percent approval of the “bed tax,” which will be a 5 percent assessed tax to those individuals who stay in hotel, motel facilities as well as bed and breakfast units, VRBOs and Airbnb units located within the city limits. Only the people who stay at these facilities will pay the tax and the revenue is retained for local use, resulting in a win-win for communities who pass the tax. According to the state statute, which allows for the “bed tax,” the city collects the tax revenue to be placed in a separate fund for the purpose of using the fund to promote the community to attract visitors from outside the community. Marketing throughout the state and contiguous states to promote Trenton’s Missouri Day Festival, Holiday Hoops and the Mid-America Music Festival are just a few of the major events held annually in Trenton which will benefit from increased marketing and awareness. In addition to events, the revSee NCMDA, Page 5
Two more deaths due to COVID have been reported, according to information provided on Monday by the Grundy County Health Department. The Dec. 21 briefing by the department shows 25 deaths in the county. The total number of positive cases was 822, which was up 33 from information provided by the GHDC on Thursday, Dec. 17.

DIFFERENT ’DOGS
Trenton Teams’ Issues Aren’t The Same, But They Are Ever-Present SO. HARRISON GIRLS 35 TRENTON GIRLS 25 SO. HARRISON BOYS 61 TRENTON BOYS 40
Through seven games in the 20202021 season, the Trenton High School varsity basketball teams have each run identical 2-5 records. The issues causing the slow starts for both the Trenton boys and girls are easily spotted, but differ from one team to the other. For the Trenton girls, finding offense continues to be a work in progress. The boys, meanwhile, are turning the ball over at a far too high rate and giving up plenty of secondchance looks to opposing teams. Playing host to South Harrison on Friday night, those issues were magnified. Trenton’s girls again struggled offensively and playing with just five players due to wholesale quarantines up and down the roster amplified that problem. Trenton’s boys didn’t start a player over 5-10 due to Royce Jackson missing the game with a knee injury sustained against Princeton earlier in the week. That allowed South Harrison, mostly 6-6 center Luke Karns, plenty of second-chance looks. The end results were predictable home losses for Trenton. The girls, despite nearly overcoming a 15-0 deficit in the second quarter, fell 3525 and finished the game with just four players on the floor. The boys,

meanwhile, were defeated 61-40. It was the third-straight loss for the girls and fourth for the boys as Trenton stumbled into Christmas break. GIRLS Starting the game with just five players showed an impact early as South Harrison ran out to a 13-0 first quarter lead. The visitors had the first bucket of the second quarter as well, going up 15-0 before Trenton finally found its first points of the night. Trenton would make a run at that

point, clawing its way back into the game. The Bulldogs had the deficit cut to just five points a couple of times in the fourth quarter, but when Morgan King went down with an ankle injury late, it left Trenton playing with just four to South Harrison’s five. As a result, the lead doubled as South Harrison escaped with the 10point win. “We did everything right, but shots just didn't go in,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “Down 15-0 and
not getting a bucket until late in the second quarter, a lot of teams would have just quit. I can't say enough about the character of the girls to fight back and give themselves a chance to win the game, even with only four players. It was one of my proudest moments as a coach.” Rebecca Urich led Trenton with 11 points while Chandler Lynch followed with six and Mallory Sole added four. Three points from King and one from Teya Cooksey rounded out the team’s total. BOYS The Trenton boys showed the way early and traded the lead back-andforth late in the first quarter, but South Harrison’s size advantage eventually took its toll. Trenton stayed within striking distance in the second quarter, but a 20-10 thirdquarter run by South Harrison essentially put the game in hand. “Shooting went well early,” Bulldogs’ coach Corbin Coe said. “Then we missed several wide-open looks in the first half. Our biggest issue was second-chance points, though. Twenty-eight second chance points for South Harrison was the difference in the game.” The Bulldogs were led by Chase Otto’s 17 points and Brycin Loyd’s 15. Tucker Otto had five points, Gabe Novak scored two and Randy Bowden finished with one. UP NEXT Trenton’s games at Meadville on Monday night were cancelled. The Bulldogs will return to the floor on Jan. 5, hosting Gallatin in a Grand River Conference doubleheader in Trenton. Action begins at 6 p.m.
A lineup of only eight wrestlers did not deter the Trenton Bulldogs at the Guardians Classic in Lee’s Summit on Saturday. Trenton’s short-handed squad put six wrestlers in the top four of their respective weight classes at the event with Hunter McAtee (113) and Kaden Owen (170) each picking up weightclass championships. Not only did McAtee and Owen walk away with individual titles, they reached those heights in dominating fashion. Both pinned their way to the championships - McAtee going 4-0 and Owen finishing 5-0. “Hunter had a very strong showing,” Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “I’m extremely proud of the way he wrestled today. Kaden looked dominant in every match as well. He did a great job controlling his opponent. I feel like Kaden finally showed the true talent that us coaches have known he has had for a long time.” Behind the title-winning duo, Caleb Johnson (220) and Sam Gibson (182) each came up one win shy of titles, finishing second at their respective weights. Johnson was 4-0 with all four wins coming via fall. But he got turned early, losing the championship match by fall. Gibson, meanwhile, had two wins by fall and decision wins of 5-3 and 9-0 to give him a 4-0 mark before he fell, also by fall, in the championship match. “Sam showed a lot of maturity and patience throughout his matches and I was really happy to see him near the top of the podium,” Bacon said. “Caleb also had a great day and looked really solid, picking up all of his wins by pin. He got caught in the finals with a throw and ended up losing that match, but still had a really good day.” Gavin Chambers was third at 132, going 2-1 at the event and Brice Gibler (138) was fourth with a 1-3 record. Also in action for Trenton was Nate Burkeybile (195) and Kael Brock (285) both of whom were sixth. Burkeybile was 0-3, Brock was 1-3. Trenton was home Monday and travels to Higginsville on Jan. 6.

Trenton’s girls dropped the A game 36-33 and fell 23-17 in the B contest. The boys pulled off a sweep, though, winning the A game 50-10 and the B game 22-20. For the Trenton girls, Mirena King had 20 points while Keagan Croy added 13 in the A game. Ali Cox scored six points to pace the B squad. The Trenton boys got 29 points from Kiefer Tolson in the A game and Hunter Smith added 16. In the B contest, Elijah Miller led Trenton with 10 points.

Chiefs Top Saints On The Road NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes' repertoire of side-arm throws, basketball-style push passes, underhanded flips and renowned improvisation humbled yet another highly regarded defense. Mahomes passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns, and the Kansas City Chiefs extended their winning streak to nine games with a 32-29 win over the New Orleans Saints Sunday. “Patrick is more impressive than I could imagine,” said running back Le'Veon Bell, who joined the Chiefs in mid-October and scored a 12-yard touchdown on an option pitch from Mahomes. "He’s even more impressive in person. ... I’m fortunate to be his teammate.” The Kansas City defense did its part to spoil Drew Brees' return from rib fractures and a punctured lung that had kept the record-setting passer out four games. While Brees passed for 234 yards and three TDs, he completed fewer than half of his passes and was intercepted for just the fourth time this season. The victory kept the Chiefs (13-1) in pole position to capture the AFC's lone playoff bye as a No. 1 seed.

ACROSS MISSOURI
Strained Health Agencies Push Do-It-Yourself Contact Tracing by The Associated Press When Eileen Carroll's daughter tested positive for the coronavirus, Rhode Island health officials called with the results, then told her to notify anyone her daughter might have been around. Contact tracers, she was told, were simply too overwhelmed to do it. That's also why tracers didn't call to warn the family that it had been exposed in the first place, said Carroll, of Warwick, Rhode Island. Luckily, she said, the relative with COVID-19 they had been around at Thanksgiving already alerted them. “They said, ‘We have 500 people a day and we cannot keep up with this,'" Carroll said. It's the same story across the U.S., as state and local health departments ask people who test positive to warn friends, family and co-workers themselves because a catastrophic surge in infections has made it difficult or impossible to keep up with the calls considered critical to controlling outbreaks. Health officials say do-ityourself tracing is not ideal, but as infections and hospitalizations soar, it's likely the most effective way to reach people who may be at risk. Over 16.5 million people in the U.S. have been infected and more than 300,000 have died, and officials fear transmission will only get worse as people gather for the holidays. Some health departments aren't being informed of infections for several days, making it impossible to call at least 75% of a person's contacts within 24 hours of a positive test, which experts say is necessary to control outbreaks. What's more, many people won't pick up the phone or refuse to answer questions when tracers call. Sometimes, there are simply too many positive tests to call everyone. “If you don’t have the bandwidth to keep up, then you have to make strategic decisions ... and I think it’s a smart move,� Emily Gurley, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said of asking people
to warn their own contacts. North Dakota’s health department curtailed much of its contact tracing among the general public in October as the virus surged, limiting efforts to health care facilities, schools and universities, and workplaces. Tracers still call people who test positive, but no one outside their households, said Brenton Nesemeier, who manages COVID-19 case managers and field epidemiologists. “We realized that we needed to prioritize positive cases because they were ... the ones who were potentially out in the community, and they’re the ones with the most questions,� Nesemeier said. “In turn, they’re able to reach their contacts faster than we are because (people) will more likely answer a phone call from a friend,� he said. Nesemeier said there is no way to know if people are following through, but when North Dakota was doing fullfledged contact tracing, those who were willing to share information about their contacts often had already told them anyway. Pennelope Denson, a 19year-old from Riverview, Michigan, near Detroit, said that when her boyfriend's mother and brother got sick and tested positive about two months ago, she got tested and advised everyone she had been around to do the same. It took nine days to find out she had contracted the virus, and two days after that, she got a call from a contact tracer at the Wayne County Health Department. The tracer took only her father's information, Denson said, and told her to call anyone else she might have been around. She said her boyfriend's mother and brother never got a call from a tracer after they tested positive, “so nobody told me to quarantine, but I did it myself.� In Cole County, Missouri, which includes the capital of Jefferson City, when someone is tested, they're given a packet that includes information on reaching out to their own contacts if the results come back positive. Kristi Campbell, director of

PREPARING FOR THE 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION While the Missouri General Assembly normally conducts its work from January through May during the course of the regular legislative session, lawmakers spent a lot of extra time in the Capitol City because of two additional extra legislative sessions. Despite the fact that we recently completed the second extra session, my colleagues and I are now preparing to return to Jefferson City in January for the beginning of the 2021 legislative session. By law, the Missouri General Assembly meets from the beginning of January until the middle of May for the regular session. This is the time of year when the
Legislature spends the bulk of its time at the Capitol discussing legislation and working on the operating budget for the next fiscal year. But, before this, lawmakers may begin pre-filing legislation on Dec. 1, at which point bills are assigned numbers based on a senator’s seniority in the upper chamber. Lawmakers can continue to introduce legislation through the start of the 2021 legislative session, which begins on Jan. 6. As I prepare for the start of the 2021 legislative session, I have pre-filed several bills that I believe will move our state forward. I have pre-filed Senate Bill 1,
the county health department, announced the do-it-yourself effort last month, saying it was taking officials five to seven days to learn of positive tests and that tracers weren't always getting the information necessary to call people. “It is imperative that we get past the barriers of traditional contact tracing,� Campbell said in the televised announcement. “This will eliminate wait time and hopefully stop people from unknowingly spreading the virus." In Indiana, the health department recently said it would no longer ask for a detailed list of symptoms and would encourage people to call their own contacts. Tracers still try to collect contact information, but "we recognize that this can be quicker and that many people are reluctant to answer a text or call from an unknown number,� spokeswoman Megan Wade-Taxter said by email. Testing and tracing is a bedrock of the public health response to disease outbreaks, but both got a slow start in the U.S. when the pandemic took hold. Underfunded health departments had to hire and train enough people to do the tracing, then often met with resistance and suspicion. Now, there simply aren’t enough tracers to keep up. Gurley, the Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, said that even if contact tracing programs are incomplete and slow, they are having an impact because many people need to know how to effectively isolate and where to get help with food, housing and rent. “It could be a lot worse if we did not have these programs,� Gurley said. But she added that it could be much better if health departments had more resources. “From the beginning, the conversation in public health has sort of been, ‘Here’s the resources we’re giving you, do the best you can.' But they don't have the bandwidth to keep up,� Gurley said. “I think it’s a really frustrating, heartbreaking example of how we haven’t prioritized this, and one of the reasons we are in the place we are today,� she said.
which would extend the sunset for hospital and medical provider federal reimbursement allowances; Senate Bill 2, which seeks to provide economic incentives for those who create military jobs; and Senate Bill 3, which would make changes to the statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Every legislative session is unique and presents its own challenges, but it also gives us an opportunity to work together to improve the lives of all Missourians. As I prepare for the upcoming session, I am committed to working with my colleagues to help make Missouri a better place to live, work and raise a family.

The Trenton FFA Chapter held its annual Christmas meeting on Dec. 16 at the ag building with 25 members present. Members enjoyed food from El Nopal, present-wrapping and Christmas-themed games such as cookie decorating and candy cane spoons. This year the chapter adopted eight families for Christmas with a total of 15 kids. It was wonderful seeing all members helping wrap presents for the families. The next meeting will be held on Jan. 20 in the ag building. (submitted by Gracyn Rongey and Rebecca Urich)

After Turbulent 2020, Faith In America Faces More Big Issues By The Associated Press For many religious denominations in the United States, there were two shared preoccupations in 2020 beyond the usual matters of faith: How to cope with the coronavirus pandemic and how to respond to tumultuous political events. With Joe Biden replacing Donald Trump as president, and with vaccines eventually expected to ease the threat of COVID-19, the challenges for faith leaders in 2021 will shift. Here’s a look at some important storylines to keep an eye on in the coming year for religion in the country: RACIAL JUSTICE During nationwide protests, leaders from many religious traditions spoke out to support the peaceful goals of demonstrators. But in the months since, some segments — particularly within Christianity — have taken notably different approaches. Leaders of the six seminaries within the Southern Baptist Convention released a statement in November decrying critical race theory, a broad term often used to describe cri-
tiques of societal racism, as “incompatible with� central tenets of the faith. Meanwhile, members of other Christian denominations, including Episcopalians and United Methodists, are exploring reparations to African Americans in greater depth. CATHOLICS AND THE PRESIDENT Biden will be just the second Roman Catholic president in U.S. history, after John F. Kennedy. But he has been viewed cautiously by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops over his support for abortion rights. Some argue Biden should be barred from partaking in Holy Communion, and the bishops conference has formed a working group to study how to deal with him. However, there has been a relatively positive response from Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington. He says he won’t prevent Biden from receiving Communion and looks forward to cooperating on social issues where the president-elect’s views mesh with church teaching.
WHITE HOUSE FAITH OFFICE Trump built close ties to conservative evangelicals even before his 2016 election, but he didn’t establish a formal White House faith operation until more than a year after his inauguration. His Faith and Opportunity Initiative has been led by Florida-based televangelist Paula White, a longtime spiritual adviser to Trump who later campaigned for his reelection. While it’s not yet clear how Biden will set up and staff his own White House faith office, his choices will shape his administration’s approach to religious outreach. A recent report by the nonpartisan Brookings Institution recommended focusing on helping the needy by forming religious and nonreligious alliances, rather than elevating specific faith-based groups. LGBTQ RIGHTS Under Trump there have been some rollbacks in civil rights protections for LGBTQ people that Biden is vowing to restore and expand. But that may prove complicated if Re-

publican lawmakers and the Supreme Court, now with a solid conservative majority, endorse the arguments of religious conservatives that some of those protections infringe on religious liberty. One example: a pending Supreme Court case in which a Catholic social services agency says it should be able to turn away same-sex couples who want to be foster parents, while still receiving local government funding. Religious conservatives also vow to oppose efforts by Democrats in Congress to pass the Equality Act, which would extend nationwide the comprehensive anti-bias protections already afforded to LGBTQ people in 21 mostly Democratic-governed states, covering such sectors as housing, public accommodations and public services. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS The Southern Baptist Convention, the country’s largest Protestant denomination. plans a national meeting in June after canceling it in 2020 due to COVID-19. A new SBC president will be elected at the meeting. For now the only declared candidate is the Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was critical of Trump in 2016 but gradually

end Trump’s curbs on travel from several majority-Muslim nations. And after that, the nation’s diverse Muslim communities have other hopes for his administration. Refugee admissions to the U.S. have plummeted, with a screening system led by several faithbased groups brought to a near halt as Trump slashed the annual refugee ceiling. Biden has pledged to raise it and to build a diverse administration that includes Muslim American voices. THE CORONAVIRUS Even amid a mass vaccine distribution effort, religious communities will continue to wrestle with the pandemic’s impact on in-person worship. Religious liberty advocates, particularly conservative ones, have criticized state and local restrictions as improperly hindering worship more than secular activities like shopping or dining. Other clerical leaders have embraced online services, saying keeping people safe should take precedence over traditions. Biden illustrated the thorniness of the debate recently when he gave a short answer to a question about Americans’ ability to worship during the pandemic: That it should happen “safely.�

became a supporter as the president appointed conservative judges and advocated for religious liberty. Mohler is now warning that Biden’s administration will dismay many Southern Baptists with initiatives bolstering abortion rights and LGBTQ rights. DISUNITED METHODISTS The pandemic also forced the United Methodist Church to cancel a potentially momentous national meeting last May that’s now rescheduled for late August. The same topic will dominate the agenda: Whether America’s largest mainline Protestant denomination will split due to differences over inclusion of LGBTQ people. Many congregations want to fully recognize same-sex marriage and ordain LGBTQ people as ministers, while conservatives want to maintain longstanding but sporadically enforced bans. Under one proposal, conservative congregations and regional bodies would be allowed to separate and form a new denomination while receiving $25 million in UMC funds and keeping their properties. MUSLIM AMERICANS' GOALS Muslim American groups have lauded Biden’s plans to

who love to hear our national anthem, and everyone in the caravan joins in. I don't like fresh-cut flowers because they die quickly. I just can't keep them alive for more than two days. So, I appreciate your idea of planting a tree. It makes a forever gift. I've attended parties where we get a few people to pitch in to buy a tree or shrub or even seedlings. And we have people signed up to do the planting. Great idea to keep our ocean life safe from plastics. Use reusable bags for shopping. I give them as gifts with pictures to match the recipient's favorite things or places. -- New Ideas Dear Annie: I have many suggestions for how to celebrate special occasions and help our world. -- Plant a tree. Contact your local parks department, state parks department, national parks. They know all about this and can help make it very special. The Nature Conservancy could also help. Do it right with experienced arborists to make sure your tree has the best chance to thrive and pro-
Dear Readers: The letter from No More Balloons caused quite a reaction, with many of you offering suggestions for other ways of celebrating. Here is a sampling: Dear Annie: Bubbles are the answer instead of balloons. There are bubble machines, and there are large hoops to make your own. Dish soap is best if you are making your own. Bubbles are beautiful and iridescent. -- Bubble Lover Dear Annie: In The Villages, Florida, we have thousands of golf carts. When someone has a birthday, we make a parade caravan. People decorate their carts with party regalia and then take their turn in line to drive past the hospital, senior center or the home of the special person. Usually, the person is sitting outside so we can see each other. No balloons in sight, but lots of funny gifts are left at a "gift corral" at the recipient's driveway. My dad and I are poets, and we like writing a special poem for the occasion. But some paraders sing a favorite song. Lots of veterans are here
-- Sponsor a memorial for a walkathon, bricks for a new hospital, a park bench, a picnic table, a bus shelter (if allowed) or any number of needed things. -- Pay for spaying or neutering. Work with local wildlife agencies to sponsor nesting boxes for birds, bats, butterflies and other wildlife. -- Contact extended care facilities to see what their residents and employees need. -- Sponsor a service animal for wounded veterans or others needing help. -- Contact your Humane Society for memorial ideas. I could go on and on. Let the memories of your loved ones make a positive impact. And don't forget to do it again on anniversaries of their birthdays. You don't have to be rich to do these things. Any good done in their names keeps their memories alive. -- May Your Hearts Find Peace Dear Hearts: What beautiful sentiment and wonderful suggestions. Thank you! COPYRIGHT 2020

Although video streaming service pioneer Netflix was clearly the biggest winner during a year when everyone was looking for something to watch while stuck at home, Walt Disney Co. emerged as a star, too. Just 13 months after its debut, the company’s Disney Plus service has attracted 72 million viewers in the U.S. alone, based on estimates from the research firm eMarketer. That’s still far behind the estimated 169 million U.S. viewers who watched Netflix this year, but it took 13 years for Netflix’s service to build that audience.

than total subscribers). Disney Plus’ rapid success helped the Mouse House overcome the challenges posed by a pandemic that forced it to shut its amusement parks for most of the year and prevented people from flocking to theaters to see its perennially popular movies on big screens. It’s one of the main reason Disney’s stock has gained 20% this year. And Disney’s streaming services, which also include Hulu and ESPN, appear poised to gather even more momentum. By 2022, eMarketer expects Disney to be generating nearly as much streaming revenue in the U.S. as Netflix.
