14 Honored For Academic Achievements

THS Awards Diplomas To 67 Seniors The top ranking students of the Trenton High School Class of 2020 shared their memories and hopes for the future at graduation ceremonies held on Saturday afternoon, June 6.

Co-valedictorians Mackenzie McAtee and Oakley Madden and salutatorian Lindi Moulin addressed their classmates during the event, held at C.F. Russell Stadium. Sixty-seven seniors received diplomas, with 14 being recognized for their academic achievements.

Miss Moulin referred to graduation as “a huge accomplishment,” recognizing the difficult path graduates took in reaching this day.

“The road to this one moment was long and winding, filled with potholes and roadblocks, but we ultimately reached our destination,” she said. “Along the way we stumbled, but we learned from our mistakes and we’re all the wiser because of it. In fact, the most important lesson I learned during my high school career can be summed up in the cliche saying, ‘live each day to its fullest’.”

While the COVID-19 pandemic put an early end to actual classroom studies and school activities, Miss Moulin said the event was a reminder that life can be unpredictable and time should not be taken for granted.

“High school becoming computerized was not something I could control, but I could control how I reacted to it,” she said. “I personally ended up spending quality time with my loved ones during this time...(and) also remained devoted to my studies and kept in touch with my friends over the phone. I believe I made the best of the situation and I hope my peers feel the same way.”

She concluded by stating the Class of 2020 is “ready to tackle any challenge that may arise and that we’re able to overcome anything.”

“I hope my peers retain their positive spirit on a day to day basis so that they may get the most out of life,” she said.

Miss Madden talked about the importance of each graduate being essential in their community and that each can contribute in their own way.

“Some of us still hold unknown futures where do we want to go to college, what career do we want to pursue,” she said. “But if living through this historic moment in history teaches

us anything as young adults, it should teach us that whatever we decide to do, we should strive to be essential.”

Miss Madden recognized how several of her classmates were already “well on their way,” looking toward careers in teaching, accounting and the military, while others were still in the process of determining their future goals.

“In just a few short years, each and every one one of us will be essential to our communities in our own unique ways and today is the first step in the direction of our desired destination,” she said. “So Class of 2020, if you know your destination, if you know how you want to serve

your community, I want you to know your destination matters. Whatever you want to do matters. You may not feel like it, but your role will be essential to your community in your own special way.”

Miss McAtee reflected on her time as a student at Trenton, noting that she and her classmates “have come a long way.”

“I know that we will all continue to grow as we move past this milestone in our life,” she said. “This is one aspect of all of our lives that never changed. We all had the same goal, which

Grundy County Has Fourth Case

Local Drive-Through Testing Beginning on Wednesday, Wright Memorial Hospital will be opening a COVID-19 drive-through testing site at the Green Hills Medical Clinic, located at 3300 E. 10th St. The new site is in addition to the previously-established site in Chillicothe at the former Washington Street Food & Drink location, which will continue operation as well.

The new Trenton drive-through clinic will operate from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., Monday through Friday. Drive-through testing for COVID-19 is available to all residents in the region who meet testing criteria and who obtain a provider order from a health care provider prior to arriving at the testing site.

Wright Memorial Hospital and Hedrick Medical Center continue to conduct COVID-19 testing with 1,249 individual tests having been given as of Monday morning, June 8. WMH has tested 328 individuals, including 228 from Grundy County, 54 from Mercer County and 46 from other counties. HMC has tested 921, including 524 from Livingston County, 145 from Grundy County, 32 from Mercer County and 220 from other counties.

Meanwhile, Grundy County has its

fourth case of COVID-19.

The Grundy County Health Department confirmed the case over the weekend, noting that the individual is isolating at home.

Health department personnel have identified and communicated with close contacts of the individual.

Putnam County also reported its first positive case over the weekend. The individual is self-isolating at home. No other information was provided.

Additional confirmed cases of COVID19 have also been reported in three area counties.

Mercer County now has four cases, with the latest being confirmed in a test by a private company out of the county. The individual is currently in self-isolation at home with mild symptoms. The Mercer County Health Department said no other information about the patient will be provided to maintain confidentiality.

Daviess County now has six confirmed cases, with two more added on Thursday.

Three of those cases remain active and, according to the Daviess County Health Department, are staying home until released by medical personnel.

Sullivan County has six additional confirmed cases, bringing its total to 69. The

new cases, according to the Sullivan County Health Department, have all been determined to be community-related.

Eighteen of the 69 reported cases in the county remain active.

As in all cases, health department officials from those counties have identified close contacts of the infected individuals and those persons have been notified and given information regarding the next steps that should be taken. Persons who have not been contacted have been determined by health officials not to be at risk.

Other area county totals include Caldwell, 8; Carroll, 9; Harrison, 9; Linn, 10; and Livingston, 5.

The Grundy County Health Department last week reported there was one positive case from the May 30 drive-through testing event in Trenton, with the individual tested being the resident of another county. Health department officials from that county, which was not identified, have been notified about the positive test.

A total of 137 persons were tested.

Persons who exhibit COVID-19-related symptoms or who believe they have been exposed are asked to call their doctor or call the state of Missouri’s COVID-19 hotline at 877-435-8411.

Dems Want Election Fraud Proof

Pushback On Mail-In Ballot Claims WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are mounting a new effort to push back against a well-funded Republican campaign that seeks to undermine public confidence in mail-in voting, which President Donald Trump has said, without offering proof, will lead to election fraud.

Fair Fight, an organization led by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, has joined forces with Priorities USA, the largest Democratic outside group, and American Bridge, the party’s opposition research clearinghouse, to form a new effort called Voter Suppression Watch.

The aim is to not only counter Republicans in the courts but in public relations, too, while playing offense by providing op-

position research that often forms the grist of critical news stories.

“The 2020 election is the most pivotal election that I can think of, and we have known for a while that there would be efforts made to suppress the vote,” Abrams said Sunday in an interview with The Associated Press. “We need to not only have a concerted effort to push back, but we need to raise awareness, too.”

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, a partisan fight over ballot access was playing out in a handful of state courts. But now that the virus has raised fears that in-person voting could See Ballots, Page 3

Harvick Cherishes Atlanta Win, Looks To Help Off Track Cup Veteran Collects 51st Career Victory HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — After another dominant performance at one of his favorite tracks, Kevin Harvick relished the past and looked ahead to the future.

He wasn't entirely focused on what he can do behind the wheel.

Harvick cruised to victory Sunday over Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. in the NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, leading the final 55 laps on a day that began with the series acknowledging the social unrest in the country.

Before taking the green flag, the 40 cars stopped in front of the towering, empty grandstands on the front stretch to listen to a message from NASCAR president Steve Phelps and observe a 30-second moment of silence in the wake of George Floyd's death while in police custody.

Harvick also joined other drivers in making a video that promised to push for muchneeded changes in the fractured nation.

“Something has to change.

When you look at what happened in Minneapolis, it's just disgraceful to everyone," he said. “It's just unbelievable to sit and watch these things happen. It's really confusing. It makes you confused and mad.

Now we know what we need to do and where to start.”

Harvick won for the second time since NASCAR returned from the shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, adding to his emotional victory at Darlington in the first race back.

Harvick came into the day having led 1,138 laps on the 1.54-mile Atlanta trioval, far more than any other driver in the 40-car field.

This one was more of the same. Harvick was out front for 151 laps — more than twice as many as anyone else — and claimed his a third vic-

tory in Atlanta, where he got first Cup triumph in 2001 and another win two years ago.

“For me, this place is pretty special," said Harvick, who beat Busch by more than 3 1/2 seconds, with Truex nearly 5 seconds behind. “It brings back a lot of memories.”

On a reverse victory lap, Harvick held three fingers outside his car, a tribute to the late Dale Earnhardt. Harvick was the driver who replaced Earnhardt after the seven-time champion was killed in a crash at Daytona in 2001.

Three weeks later, Harvick took the checkered flag in Atlanta.

“To celebrate the life of Dale Earnhardt and everything he meant to our sport, is obviously pretty special to me,” Harvick said.

He now has 51 wins — breaking a tie with Ned Jarrett and Junior Johnson for the 12th spot on the career list.

“You just shake your head and say, ‘Man, I can’t believe this is happening,'" Harvick said. “It's pretty crazy when you think about. I've been very lucky to drive cars for a living.”

Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, in what may have been his final Atlanta appearance, was given the honor of delivering the “start your engines” command to his fellow drivers.

NASCAR returned to Atlanta to make up a race that was initially scheduled for March 15. It became the first race to be postponed as U.S. sports largely shut down to deal with a pandemic that has now claimed more than 110,000 American lives.

This time, it was the spot where NASCAR waded into the debate over the injustices endured by African Americans — a striking move for a sport that once embraced Confederate symbols and still struggles to overcome its perception as a conservative bastion reserved largely for whites.

Harvick said he's ready to join the cause.

“There's things we can do to try to help our communities, help the conversation,” he said after his victory. “We need to change.”

Dayton Moore rides in a truck during the Royals’ World Series championship parade in 2015. While most of the MLB has made wholesale cuts at the minor league level, Moore has stood by his players.

THE ROYAL WAY Royals’ General Manager Keeps All Minor League Players Employed SETH HERROLD @HERROLDTIMES

There are a lot of worse teams y o u could be a fan of besides the Kansas City Royals. A World Series championship within the last five years and two pennants within the last six spell that out pretty plainly.

So with that recent history, you can’t really complain about the back-to-back 100loss seasons the Royals endured in 2018 and 2019. You can’t really complain about the 29-year playoff drought that fell between the 1985 World Series and 2014 World Series.

In fact, you can’t even really complain that Sweet Baby Ray’s is the official BBQ sauce of a team that plays in the middle of a city with literally 100 better BBQ sauces.

In the last six years only the Royals, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers have played in multiple World Se-

ries. So yes, there are a lot of teams you could root for that haven’t had the recent success the Royals have, even with the last two seasons that plunged them dramatically to the bottom of the league.

But one of the biggest reasons I am proud to be a Royals fan arose in recent weeks Dayton Moore and the organization’s approach to players.

Moore doesn’t always make the right baseball moves. No general manager ever does.

But Moore has knocked every off-field issue out of the park.

Two weeks ago it was announced that Major League Baseball teams were cutting hundreds of minor league players amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of this was expected as baseball was cutting some 40 minor league organizations, mainly across rookie and A level leagues. But with the added economic pressure created by the virus, the releases reached extreme levels.

Each minor leaguer released was making $400 a week, a paltry sum to team owners who are dishing out mega bucks in free agency every year. But every little bit helps in these times and the bottom line is it is a business. It’s about the money.

For most.

Dayton Moore is not most.

Amid the minor league players suddenly finding themselves without income, Moore stepped up, talked to new owner John Sherman and his ownership group and announced the Royals would not be cutting any minor league

players. Not a single one.

Kansas City will continue to pay its minor league players throughout the end of the season. The Minnesota Twins, another small-market team, have since joined the Royals in committing to their minor league players.

I wasn’t surprised when I heard about it. It’s what you expect from someone like Dayton Moore. The day after the news broke, I put on my KC hat and headed to work with pride in my organization, pride in my team and, above all else, pride in my general manager. These are tough times and what Dayton Moore did was big for those players, even if it was just $400 a week.

Even if they are players who will never crack the big leagues. Moore sees value in people as human beings, not just baseball players. In a statement that followed, Moore pointed out these minor league player often go on to become baseball coaches or teach the game in their communities. By that logic, they have just as much of an impact on growing the game as the 10- and 15year veterans in the major leagues.

So Moore stood by his guys.

It was awesome to see and sent ripples across the baseball community. Even Scott Boras, the super player agent and enemy of all owners and general managers, could only praise Moore and his decision.

Winning the World Series in 2015 was the highlight of my sports fandom to date. Winning it doing business the way

Dayton Moore does business makes it even sweeter.

I am proud to be a Kansas City Royals fan, now more than ever.

This week’s recommendations are...

Read: In the 2010 MLB Draft, the Kansas City Royals selected Christian Colon ahead of... Chris Sale. Andy McCullough had a ‘What If’ piece up at The Athletic, detailing what steps the Royals went into during the preparation for that draft. It’s full of interesting insight and a very good read.

Sale is almost certainly going to be a Hall of Famer, but Colon got the big hit in Game 5 of the 2015 World Series. If you have a subscription to The Athletic, go find it. If you don’t, find someone who does and ‘borrow’ their login information.

Watch: Long Gone Summer is ESPN’s latest 30 for 30 documentary. This one focuses on Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa’s home run chase in 1998. The chase captivated the nation and is generally credited with bringing baseball fans back to the sport after many left following the 1994-1995 strike. Like all of the 30 for 30 episodes it is bound to be filled with behind the scenes stories and videos you never knew about. It airs Sunday night at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Eat: This week’s eating recommendation is the breakfast tacos at Brick House on Union Hill in Kansas City. They are on the brunch menu, which is served 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the weekends.

Iowa Coach Denies Bias Doyle Placed On Administrative Leave By School

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa football strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle denies any “unethical behavior or bias” based on race after being accused by several former players of contributing to what they allege is systemic racism in the program.

Doyle was placed on administrative leave Saturday, part of a decision made by coach Kirk Ferentz in what he called “a

defining moment” for Iowa’s football program.

Several black former players posted on social media Friday night about issues they saw in the football program, attributing many of them to Doyle. The 51-year-old assistant coach issued a statement Sunday on Twitter in which he applauds the “courage” of the former players and says he is “proud of them" for speaking out, but disputes the claims.

“I have been asked to remain silent, but that is impossible for me to do,” Doyle wrote. “There have been statements made about my behavior that are not true. I do not claim to be perfect. I have made mistakes, learned lessons and, like every American citizen, can do better.

“At no time have I ever crossed the line of unethical behavior or bias based on race.

I do not make racist comments and I don't tolerate people who do.”

Chicago Bears guard James Daniels, who played at Iowa from 2015-17, tweeted Friday night that there are “too many racial disparities in the Iowa football program. Black players have been treated unfairly for far too long.” Former defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie tweeted that the ”real change" for the program needs to start with Doyle.

Ferentz said Saturday the school would conduct an independent review into the situation, with all parties able to participate and voice their opinions.

NCMC Student Is Honored North Central Missouri College student Jacquelyn Perez of Milan is among 290 students named as a 2020-21 Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact, a Bostonbased non-profit organization working to advance the public purposes of higher education.

The Newman Civic Fellowship is a yearlong program for students from Campus Compact member institutions. The students selected for the fellowship are leaders on their campuses who demonstrate a commitment to finding solutions for challenges facing communities locally, nationally, and internationally.

Ms. Perez is a freshman at NCMC, who plans to obtain a two-year degree and continue her studies in international affairs. She then plans to attend law school, specifically focusing on immigration law. She hopes to use her education to assist communities in reducing

stigma and social inequalities for minorities with a focus on Latin and immigrant populations.

Ms. Perez is the child of immigrants and a first-generation student residing in a small town in Missouri. Her mother was the head-of-the household, working hard to support the family. While growing up, her mother emphasized the importance of education and the difference it could make in their lives. “Ms. Perez continues to make a difference on our campus through her involvement,�

NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver said. “I have no doubt that Jacquelyn will continue to make an impact in her community and beyond. Her leadership and skills were recognized quickly by faculty and staff. She is an exceptional student on our campus and very deserving of this recognition.�

be a threat to the elderly, those in poor health and people of color, whom statistics show have disproportionately borne the brunt of its effects, efforts to expand voting by mail have faced stiff opposition from Trump and his allies.

They argue, without offering evidence, that it will lead to increased voter fraud, even as they have encouraged Republicans to cast ballots by mail in a number of recent elections.

Trump casts his own ballots by mail.

Democrats say the Republican opposition to mail voting is also a smokescreen being used to push for broader voting limitations. “While everyone is focusing on the vote-by-mail argument, the architecture of their work is incredibly broad,� Abrams said. “One of our missions will be to raise the resources necessary to push back against their efforts across the country.�

Over more than a decade, Republicans have enacted laws at the state level that Democrats argue makes it harder for members of their base to vote.

These include voter ID laws, efforts to limit polling locations in urban areas and rules that limit early voting. Republicans have argued that their efforts are aimed at limiting widespread voter fraud, though there’s little evidence to back those claims up.

Bolstered by a federal court ruling, for the first time in decades, the GOP will also be allowed to conduct poll monitoring on election day in November.

Historically, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud through mail-in voting.

But some social media users have pushed grandiose theories casting doubt on the method. Trump has encouraged the skepticism, saying during a televised briefing that “a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting.� Last month, he tweeted: “Don’t allow RIGGED ELECTIONS!�

Democrats and voting rights groups contend they simply want to protect the voting rights of all citizens, and they note that repeated studies have found no widespread fraud and

no partisan benefit to expanded voting. “We want to build a strong coalition to make sure that what’s happening on the Republican side doesn’t go unanswered,� said Aneesa McMillan, the director of strategic communications and voting rights at Priorities USA. Thus far, the new Democratic coalition has not raised additional funds for the effort, though that could change.

Abrams, who is among those being considered for Joe Biden's running mate, said she aims to raise millions for the cause. “I don’t think there's a path for Trump getting reelected without voter suppression tactics,� said David Brock, a prolific fundraiser who is one of the founders of American Bridge. “While there's an improbable path for Trump to get an Electoral College victory, donors should be paying attention and giving to the overall effort.�

His group has already unearthed evidence that Trump and his allies aim to limit ballot access.

A recording the group provided to the AP in December revealed a Trump adviser told Republicans in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, that the GOP was counting on voter suppression tactics to provide an edge on Election Day. “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,� Justin Clark, a senior political adviser and senior counsel to Trump’s reelection campaign, told Wisconsin Republicans at a November 2019 event. “Let’s start playing offense a little bit.

That’s what you’re going to see in 2020. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program.�

Democrats say Trump's claims of voter fraud have morphed what was once a quiet focus of the party into a broader culture war issue. “You can immediately see it is political,� said McMillan. “The bad thing about Donald Trump is that he says the first thing that comes to his mind; the good thing about Donald Trump is that he says the first thing that comes to mind.�

was to graduate, and here we are. We did it.�

Miss McAtee noted that the class was born at the time of 9/11 and was graduating at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, two events that provided a test that she and her classmates were able to pass. “Although these circumstances are not ideal, we have found a way to make the most of them,� she said. “I feel that God has given us a great test with this pandemic. I belive this happened when it did because He knew this class could handle these hardships during our last few months and needed to test us. We have found every way possible to still cherish our last few senior experiences.�

She thanked her teachers, parents, administrators and school board for their contributions in making the Class of 2020 graduation a special one, concluding with recognition of her classmates for being “an amazing class to grow up with.� “I am thankful I am able to graduate with a class as smart, dedicated and driven as the

one in front of me,� she said. “And to the Class of 2020, never forget: this is not the end but, in fact, the beginning. And never just dream about being successful in life, work for it.�

Fourteen students received honor cords in recognition of their academic achievements by maintaining a 3.5 grade point average, a minimum of 22 on their ACT test, taking at least 2.5 hours of “weighted� classes and having 95 percent attendance. Those honored were Miss Moulin, Miss Madden, Miss McAtee, McKayla Blackburn, Carson Burchett, Dalton Burchett, McKenna Cox, Madi Cutsinger, Libby Fewins, Mackenzie Klinginsmith, Emily Kosse, Rillie Ratliff, Camryn Willey and Halley Windsor.

During the awarding of diplomas, the graduates were greeted by THS Athletic Director Wes Croy and THS science teacher Charlie Bacon, who were chosen for this honor by the faculty and seniors, respectively. Diplomas were presented by R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman, THS Principal Kasey Bailey and Acting Board of Education President Brandon Gibler.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Questions Raised About KC Police Protest Response KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In the days since Saturday’s protest at the Country Club Plaza, which included tear gas, fires and injured protesters, police officials have denied that they fired rubber bullets.

But Sean Stearns, a 32-yearold Kansas City man who was at the protest, said that’s what he believes pummeled his left eye just before midnight. The power of the projectile was so strong that it knocked Stearns onto his back and drew so much blood that his girlfriend Sydney Ragsdale immediately wondered if he had been struck by gunfire.

Now, Stearns said, he’s facing the brutal reality that his doctor shared with him, The Kansas City Star reports. “He told me he doesn’t like the chances of me being able to see out of it again,� Stearns said. “Best case, I could see shadows, maybe some light. If I’m lucky and stay healthy, I would be able to keep it. But if it deteriorates or shrinks, it will shrivel away. “Worst case is removal.�

Since Friday, protesters have marched at the Plaza and chanted against police brutality after a black man, George Floyd, died May 25 in Minnesota while in police custody.

A white Minneapolis police officer knelt on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes, the use of force captured on cell phone video.

Saturday’s protest was among the most violent in Kansas City so far, with fires, broken windows and many confrontations between police and protesters. Fifty people were arrested that night.

Several who were at the Saturday protest have posted pictures of their wounds on social media or detailed their injuries

to reporters. Those who have marched at the Plaza since have talked about rubber bullets and about how one man’s hand was broken when hit by one.

When asked Wednesday if that ammunition was used Saturday night, Kansas City police spokesman Sgt. Jacob Becchina said in an email “we don’t call them rubber bullets.� “Throughout these protests, with the exception of last night, less lethal projectiles have been used,� Becchina said. “Bean bag rounds or batton rounds have been used to dissuade protesters from assaultive actions or movements.�

Police have seen the Facebook post that Ragsdale, 28, wrote and that has been shared thousands of times, the spokesman said. “It’s awful what happened to him,� Becchina said. “We don’t want violence on either side. We don’t want rocks and bottles OR bean bag rounds and tear gas.�

While she didn’t see what hit Stearns, Ragsdale said the stitches on her boyfriend’s left eyelid are in the shape of a rubber bullet. “To us, it doesn’t matter what they were,� Ragsdale said. “It took away his sight, covered him in blood. The damage they did is what’s important.�

Stearns won’t deny he’s angry at what’s happened. But he’s also optimistic and grateful because he says he knows the injury could have taken more from him than his eyesight. “I do believe in what we were doing out there,� Stearns told The Star. “I may be brave and in the moment, but I be-

lieve this now, that if I lost it, I lost it for a reason.�

Saturday night, feeling under attack by police and getting “shot in the face with a rubber bullet,� Stearns said, he got a small taste of what people of color go through all the time. “That was me walking in a black person’s shoes for a moment,� Stearns said. “For that moment, you are in the same shoes of people on a daily basis who are harassed, hurt and killed. ‘TIME TO STAND UP’ The couple, who met in an improv film class and have been together for seven years, had planned on going to Sunday’s protest at the Country Club Plaza. They had been moved by what was happening in Minneapolis and were touched by a video of an activist there who said white people needed to be allies in the fight against brutality. “Come put your bodies on the line,� the man said. “Come put your privilege and your money on the line.�

Stearns said he wasn’t as involved after Ferguson or other shootings by police and wanted to do more now. “I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I hadn’t participated,� Stearns said. “It was time to stand up.�

They weren’t aware there was a protest on Saturday, but noticed people gathering as they were with their dog Elbie, a mini Australian Shepherd mix, at the park near the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The protest was just getting started when they joined around 3 p.m.

Immediately, they were caught by the camaraderie of the protesters. People shared

sanitizer and masks. Others had water and food to share, they said. “There was a real sense of togetherness that was really powerful, we wanted to stay and be a part of it,� Ragsdale said.

At one point, after the couple had been at the protest for a couple of hours and Ragsdale was in the crowd, a protester told Stearns that police may use pepper spray and it may not be safe for dogs.

Stearns texted Ragsdale that he was going to take Elbie home.

When he returned, and as the night wore on, more people joined. The voices grew louder. “As soon as it started to get dark, it definitely got more tense,� Ragsdale said.

Later in the evening, as the couple was on the west side of J.C. Nichols Parkway, by the Marriott, an African-American man knelt in the street, in front of a “militarized police line,�

Ragsdale said. “I thought it took so much bravery to do that,� said Ragsdale, a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City law school. She was one of the students who worked alongside professor Sean O’Brien on the case of Ricky Kidd, who was freed from prison after serving 23 years for a double murder he did not commit.

Another man knelt next to the first one. Then another.

Ragsdale soon joined them.

Others did as well.

Stearns didn’t kneel, but stayed close. Those in that location had their hands up, no one was saying anything, the couple said.

At one point, with the peo-

ple kneeling in the street, police deployed tear gas into the crowd, protesters said. “I never heard any warning of that,� Ragsdale said. “Ever.�

Protesters fled. Including Ragsdale and Stearns.

Someone ran into Ragsdale and “knocked me over. I hit my head hard on the ground and lost consciousness for a brief moment.�

As the screaming and scurrying continued, Stearns turned his head to see if his girlfriend was still with him.

He saw her on the ground and went to pick her up, telling her, “We have got to get out of here.’�

When she wasn’t feeling well enough to go on, he took her behind a tree in Mill Creek Park. Both thought it was a safe place, that in the park they would be OK. With Ragsdale’s back to the tree, Stearns crouched down in front of her. “When is your birthday?�

Stearns asked. “What day is it?�

She had hit her head hard and he was checking for signs of a concussion. Her safety and condition was his main concern.

At that point, Ragsdale saw something from her right field of vision. It was coming fast, flying past her.

Stearns, who was facing his girlfriend, briefly caught sight of the object out of the corner of his eye. But it was too late.

He would later describe it like “just a bat out of hell.�

Ragsdale saw her boyfriend immediately fly onto his back. “He was screaming in pain — ‘I’ve been shot in the face.

I’ve been shot in the face,’� she said. “I pulled his hands away from his face and it was gushing blood, so much blood.�

She wasn’t sure if he was hit by a real bullet or something else. But she knew they weren’t safe.

After a “huge surge of adrenaline,� Ragsdale got Stearns on his feet and said, “Let’s get out of here. “It felt like we were under attack,� she said. “That we were in a war.�

HELP FROM STRANGERS A small group of protesters, with jugs of milk and water, went through the crowd trying to help those who may have taken tear gas to the face or parts of their body.

Toast Fay, 25, who is transgender and goes by the pronoun they, was in that group.

They have been at every protest.

On Saturday afternoon, Fay said that they were taken to the

hospital after being maced Once treated, Fay went back to the protest.

After the tear gas was de ployed that evening, “I wa calling out, ‘Does anybody need help?’�

They heard someone holle out and went toward tha voice. “It was almost like a horro movie,� Fay said. “(Stearns turned around and looked a me and his eye was just blood It was the worst thing I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life.

As others used water to flush Stearns’ eye, Fay went to help Ragsdale, a stranger then “Toast held me while cried,� Ragsdale said. “The harder I cried, Toast was hold ing me tighter.�

When Ragsdale posted wha happened on Facebook earlie this week, she talked of the people who came to help them “In all of this tragedy, I find warmth and light in the re sponse we got to these cries,� she wrote. “Several of our fel low protesters rushed to ou aid. At least three people — please share this and help u identify them so we can thank them — had Sean lay on hi back so they could clean ou his wound which was gushing blood. Multiple people also came to my aid, as I wa screaming and crying at Sean’ feet.

At one point, everyone — including Stearns — knew he needed medical attention. A did Ragsdale.

Fay went with the couple. “I actually remember we walked up to the cops and asked them, how do we get to the ER,� Fay said. “One o them asked, ‘Is he all right?

That made me angry.�

Fay answered: “No, one o your cops shot him.�

STAYING POSITIVE Stearns lay in the hospita bed early Sunday and worried many thoughts racing through his mind.

What damage had been done? What did doctors find?

Did the force of the projectile from police hurt my brain? “I was living with that fea for a couple of hours,� Stearn said.

Because of the coronavirus Ragsdale wasn’t allowed to be with him. She was cleared and released from the emergency room around 1:30 a.m.

As he waited to hear some thing, he called her every hour When doctors came in Stearns said he learned all the bones around his left eye were broken. The damage there wa severe. But, he was told nowhere else.

Dear Annie: I am fond of drink, as was my late wife and also my late neighbor. His wife, "Gemma," does not drink and has never shown any interest in alcohol.

A few months ago, I celebrated a big birthday. Among the presents was a bottle of red wine from Gemma, presumably recycled from her late husband's possessions. I am no expert but know enough about wine to realize it was a very expensive one, so I set it aside in my garage booze cupboard.

Gemma has a complete set of keys to my house so that in case of emergency my children, who live far away, could ask her to check on me. More recently, I was away for several weeks while a paid minder with another set of keys kept an eye on my house for insurance purposes.

When I returned, everything seemed in perfect order. Valuables including all kinds of bottles of champagne and liqueurs were on full display.

The COVID-19 crisis was in full swing and I was running out of red wine, so I thought I'd

look at that expensive bottle, as if to dare myself to open it.

Much to my dismay, it was missing! In its place were two bottles of decent but inexpensive wines, one red and one white.

I surmise that, going through their father's effects, the children noticed the absence of the expensive red wine and queried their mother about it.

Exactly what happened after that is a mystery. Maybe the children berated their mother for her ignorance and pressed her to let them use her keys so they could search for the expensive bottle. If so, it was very naughty of them.

Spring is here, and the lockdown will eventually come to an end. I don't relish having to look Gemma in the eye with these doubts in my mind. I would rather broach the subject with her by phone or email now so as to clear the air.

watching your house to help himself or herself to food and drink while there? Even if you didn't, it's a common enough practice that they may have just assumed that was the case.

I propose that the housesitter had a hankering for red wine; went out to your garage; saw a bottle of red; and grabbed it, not realizing that it was an expensive gift. They later replaced it with two bottles, thinking that settled the score.

This is the most innocent explanation, which makes it the best place to start.

Ask the housesitter if that might have happened. Let them know that you're not upset; you just want to figure out if anyone else may have been in the house while you were gone. If the housesitter denies it, then use a similar, friendly approach to ask your neighbor. (Withhold your theories about the meddlesome adult children.)

Since you seem to take trips regularly, you may want to invest in smart security doorbells (such as those made by Arlo, Eufy or Google) for your home's entrances. As fun as it's been to don our detective caps this time, I'd hate for you to see more valuables vanish in the future.

Warehouse club winner

Shoppers stormed warehouse clubs during the coronavirus pandemic, looking to stock up on cases of toilet paper and gallon-sized milk jugs.

But one warehouse club benefited the most.

BJ’s Wholesale Club said sales at established stores soared 27% in its first quarter, beating its much bigger rivals Costco and Sam’s Club.

Costco’s sales were up 4.8%, while sales at Walmart-owned Sam’s Club rose 12%.

Analysts at Citi Research called BJ’s sales growth number a

“monster” and said its future sales may get a boost, since it's attracting new shoppers. New member sign-ups were up 40% in the quarter, BJ’s said. Like Sam’s Club and Costco, BJ’s charges shoppers an annual fee to shop at its stores.

BJ’s said it saw high demand for food, drinks and paper products, but also for TVs and small kitchen appliances.

Clothing sales, however, fell.

Of the three, BJ’s is the smallest, with 215 stores. Sam’s Club has nearly 600 stores and Costco has about 790.

One stands out: Shares of BJ’s Wholesale Club are up about 60% so far this year, while its rivals, Costco and Sam’s Club-owner Walmart have had smaller gains.
