TRENTON R-9 Starts Today

COVID-19 Quarantine Protocol Changes Are Made The Trenton R-9 School District has announced some changes in the school’s quarantine protocol regarding students who are considered “close contacts.” Superintendent Mike Stegman said the district plans to implement modifications recently announced by Gov. Mike Parson, the Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the changes taking effect at the high school and middle school today (Tuesday, Dec. 8). Rissler Elementary will look into modifying the mask mandates currently used to take advantage of the new protocols. While not all students will be able to utilize the changes, Stegman said they should help some and allow students who follow all of the guidelines and have no symptoms to stay in school. Students will still be close contact-traced and placed on quarantine with those who meet the established guidelines to come to school during the regular day as long as no COVID symptoms are present. Stegman said the district has had a large number of students quarantined in the last few weeks due to close contact with a positive COVID-19 student within a classroom and that the administration has worked to keep students safe by wearing masks and social distancing. The district has seen a drop in the quarantine numbers since the Thanksgiving break and Stegman said administration felt this would be a good time to implement the modifications. Stegman said no activities are allowed for students outside of the school day while in quarantine. The update will not change the quarantines in athletics and other large groups not wearing masks as well as for classes that are in cohorts and not wearing masks in the classroom. Close contacts during the lunch period will still be in quarantine. Stegman said he does not believe the changes will not create additional risk in the district, adding there have been no signs the spread of the virus is happening within the schools. He said the positive cases the district has had are tracked to activities and contacts outside of the school day. He also believes not all students sent home are staying quarantined as intended and those students would be better off in school where they will wear masks as much as possible and receive an educational benefit. Stegman noted that if the district finds it has a positive See R-9, Page 4

The Christmas holiday officially made its way to Trenton on Friday night with the annual Christmas parade taking place.

Pandemic Affects Millions

Many Are Using Food Banks For First Time By The Associated Press The deadly pandemic that tore through the nation’s heartland struck just as Aaron Crawford was in a moment of crisis. He was looking for work, his wife needed surgery, then the virus began eating away at her work hours and her paycheck. The Crawfords had no savings, mounting bills and a growing dread: What if they ran out of food? The couple had two boys, 5 and 10, and boxes of macaroni and cheese from the dollar store could go only so far. A 37-year-old Navy vet, Crawford saw himself as selfreliant. Asking for food made him uncomfortable. “I felt like I was a failure,” he says. “It’s this whole stigma ... this mindset that you’re this guy who can’t provide for his family, that you’re a deadbeat." Hunger is a harsh reality in the richest country in the world. Even during times of

prosperity, schools hand out millions of hot meals a day to children, and desperate elderly Americans are sometimes forced to choose between medicine and food. Now, in the pandemic of 2020, with illness, job loss and business closures, millions more Americans are worried about empty refrigerators and barren cupboards. Food banks are doling out meals at a rapid pace and an Associated Press data analysis found a sharp rise in the amount of food distributed compared with last year. Meanwhile, some folks are skipping meals so their children can eat and others are depending on cheap food that lacks nutrition. Those fighting hunger say they’ve never seen anything like this in America, even during the Great Recession of 2007-2009. The first place many Americans are finding relief is a neighborhood food pantry,

most connected to vast networks of nonprofits. Tons of food move each day from grocery store discards and government handouts to warehouse distribution centers, and then to the neighborhood charity. The Crawfords turned to the Family Resource Centers and Food Shelf, part of 360 Communities, a nonprofit 15 minutes from their apartment in Apple Valley, Minnesota. When needed, they receive monthly boxes of fresh produce, dairy, deli, meat and other basics — enough food to fill two grocery carts. If that runs out, they can get an emergency package to tide them over for the rest of the month. Crawford's wife, Sheyla, had insisted they seek help; her hours had been cut at the day care center where she worked. At first, Crawford was embarrassed to go the food shelf; he worried he'd bump into someone he knew. He now sees it differently.

SPORTS :: GALLATIN TOURNAMENT ::

FULL THROTTLE With A Full Squad For The First Time, Trenton Boys Win TRENTON BOYS 76 MAYSVILLE BOYS 69

It had been three weeks since the Trenton High School boys basketball team had every varsity player available. On Friday night in Maysville, however, head coach Corbin Coe had all options at his disposal once again and the Bulldogs showed how good they can be with a full roster. Trenton put away the Wolverines on the road, closing the Gallatin Tournament with a 76-69 victory to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 record, both in the tournament and overall. “It is huge to have a full roster on game nights,� Coe said. “This was the first time

we had all been together in three weeks. It puts players in positions to have the most success. I am really proud of the entire team for the effort on both ends of the floor.� The biggest boost Trenton got was from the return of Brycin Loyd, who seemlessly blended into Trenton’s rotation for a 21point night, He connected on five-of-11 three-pointers in the game. The outside shooting came to life as a result with the Bulldogs shooting 48 percent from distance after knocking down the long ball at just a 22 percent clip in their first two games combined. Behind Loyd, Royce Jackson went for 19 points, 13 rebounds and five assists and Chase Otto continued his strong start to the season, hitting three-of-four threepointers en route to 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Preston Harris, who was three-of-four on three-pointers as well, finished with 15 points. Gavin Roeder had four points and eight assists to round out the Trenton total. With the outside shot going in, Trenton’s offense piled up points in a hurry.

After trailing 21-18 in the opening frame, Trenton scored 21 and 24 points in the second and third quarters respectively, building a six-point edge entering the final frame. The pace slowed over the final eight minutes, but Trenton kept the host school at arm’s length to push above .500 for the first time since Dec. 4, 2018. The win over Maysville marked Trenton’s first win over a Grand River Conference East school since Jan. 29, 2019, when the Bulldogs topped Putnam County in the final regular season conference game of the year. “Winning is huge for us right now,� Coe said. “I really think (this win) will help with our confidence as the year progresses because we didn’t get a win against a league opponent last year. Each day is a step forward for us to be competitive.� UP NEXT Trenton travels to Marceline tonight (Tuesday) to take on the Tigers on the road. Action tips off at 6 o’clock with a girls contest between the two schools and the boys’ match-up will follow.

Chiefs Get The Job Done Again, Win 22-16 Kelce Continues Torid Pace, KC Clinches Playoffs KANSAS CITY 22 DENVER 16

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are so dynamic offensively they sometimes don't even know when they've scored a touchdown. They were fortunate one of

those cases didn't come back to bite them Sunday night. Patrick Mahomes threw for 318 yards and a score, Harrison Butker was perfect on five field-goal attempts, and the underrated Chiefs defense bailed out an offense that struggled once again in the red zone — and made two big mistakes that cost them touchdowns — in a 22-16 victory over the Denver Broncos. Travis Kelce had eight receptions for 136 yards along with the go-ahead TD grab late in the third quarter, and Tyrann Mathieu twice picked off Broncos quarterback Drew Lock.

Dear Annie: I have been dating and living with my man now for one and a half years. We are not young; he's 66, and I'm 58. He's been married twice, and both times ended in divorce. I have been married once and am divorced. When we first got together, we both told each other "no" to getting married again, but now I would like to be his wife. We love each other. But I'm not sure how to go about changing his mind. We both have older kids from our previous marriages. We have a house together, pay bills together and are doing great with life. I am wondering how to go about changing his mind so that I could be Wife No. 3. -- Wanting Commitment Dear Wanting Commitment: If you want commitment, then continue to show your commitment to growing this relationship. (SET ITAL)You(END ITAL) have to open up the conversation. It's not about changing his mind; it's about expressing to your partner how much you love him and that you would like to be joined in marriage. He might be more receptive than you think, especially because your lives

together are going so well. Dear Annie: I read so much in your column about divorce and all the pain, anger and divisiveness that can go with it. It doesn't have to be that way. I have gone through three divorces, but have now been married to my present wife for 16 years. Two of my ex-wives were having extramarital affairs, and the divorces were quite nasty. I had children with all three exwives, and it was extremely painful for the kids. But time has passed, and we have all "buried the hatchet." We are not only civil with each other but are all good friends. In fact, we have gone on several family vacations together. And every holiday -- or birthday of a family member -- we celebrate together. Yes, I mean ALL of us! Three ex-wives and their husbands, and all the children, along with my present wife and myself. Some people may think that is crazy, but my children have thanked us and told us many times how it made their lives so much better. They've seen many of their friends whose parents had gone through a similar bitter divorce, and now the family was

completely divided, leaving the children with the dilemma of wondering which parent they were going to spend their birthday, holiday, school program or athletic event with. All six of my children through these marriages are best friends and get together all the time. They never think of themselves as "half" brothers or sisters. I give a lot of credit to my present wife. When we were first married, she wasn't happy about the fact that I was friends with my exes, but she quickly realized that they were not a threat to our marriage, and she is now very close friends with them all. I also give credit to a quote from Mark Twain that made me realize that bitterness and anger weren't the best way to respond to a divorce -- or any other situation. He said, "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." It doesn't hurt the person you are bitter at, but it eats you alive. It sure has made our lives much happier! -- Made It All Work Out in the End Dear Made It Work: Your letter offers many good tips, and it points out that, despite the ups and downs of life, things can work out in the end.

“A Word From...� by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance

Pastor Steve Martin, Wesley United Methodist Church PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS As you prepare for the Christmas holiday, think about what it is you are celebrating. Consider these wise words from one of my colleagues. “I’ve seen a lot of changes in the world in my almost 89 years, and most of them have been for the good of humankind. One change I deplore, however, has been the loss of Thanksgiving as a spiritual holiday in our country. It has been replaced by the twin gods of greed and football. The popularity of Halloween has by far overtaken any mention of Thanksgiving. Christmas trees and gifts appeared in our stores long before Halloween was over. The major worship centers have become the football stadiums as quarterbacks are either worshiped or crucified. Christmas shopping is now moving rapidly into even Thanksgiving Day. The success of the holiday season is now measured, not in the generosity of our citizens toward those less fortunate, but by the total they spend upon gifts for themselves. Coupled with this, and a part of it, has been the loss of a feeling and spirit of

gratitude within our population. Notes, letters and comments of ‘Thank You,’ are rare. Many youth today born to boomer parents are unaware of the need or the way to express gratitude.� — Rev. Mel West I have heard these complaints expressed often. Yet some of the same people that complain about the commercialization of Christmas and skip Thanksgiving are also some of the first folks in line at WalMart on Black Friday. Even worse, now greedy merchants won’t even allow the Thanksgiving turkey to get cold on the table before trying to get the Christmas shopping mayhem started. One bright spot is that no one has been killed yet this year shopping. With Covid 19 numbers on the rise, many will be satisfied shopping on-line. But where you shop is not nearly as important as why you shop and who it’s for. In this Season of Giving, wouldn’t the true spirit of Christmas be better honored by helping someone in need instead of buying our kids or grand kids yet another expensive toy? I hope that you took time this year to truly give thanks. I believe it is only after we have given thanks to God that we are prepared to experience the true joy of the Christmas season with the right attitude.

Memorial services will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020 at the Walnut Lawn Funeral Home. Burial will be in the Ozarks Memorial Park Cemetery. Mr. Walden was born on Oct. 5, 1927 in El Dorado Springs, the son of James Creston and Ethel Bell Walden. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was stationed on the Philippine Islands. After his discharge, he attended the University of Missouri and earned a bachelor and master’s degree. He taught vocational agriculture and was an FFA adviser in Missouri for 31 years.
