TRENTON R-9 SCHOOL DISTRICT

Briefs...

Classes Still Set To Begin On Wednesday

Two New w Case es

15 In Quarantine After ‘Close Contact’ With the start of classes scheduled for Wednesday, Trenton R-9 School District Superintendent Mike Stegman has announced several staff members have been placed under quarantine.

Stegman said there are as many as 15 staff members in the district who are under quarantine at this time, however, not all are from one case. The first set of cases involves around 13 staff members who came into “close contact”

COVID-19

with an individual who was on the R-9 campus earlier and who tested positive for COVID-19. The second set of cases involves school personnel who came into contact with an infected family member outside of the school district.

Stegman would not reveal the identity of the individual who tested positive while on the R-9 campus as well as whether or not that individual was an employee, visitor or student. He also

would not identify which R-9 personnel were in quarantine and where the contact may have been made.

Stegman did say the school personnel did have on masks at the time of the contact, which he said did offer some protection. However, because teachers are not considered “essential employees” by the state of Missouri, Stegman said the 14-day quarantine of those employees is required. He said he antici-

pates the state changing that status, which would also mean the quarantine rules would change and allow staff members to work as long as they do not exhibit any COVID symptoms.

He said staff reassignments are being made to help cover the temporary vacancies and that substitutes are also being utilized. At this time, all positions are covered and Stegman anticipates classes starting as scheduled.

AIM Business Results Sent To Governor

Survey Provided Parson With Re-Opening Data JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — With Missourians under a stay-at-home order this spring as a coronavirus precaution, the Associated Industries of Missouri began surveying businesses to gauge how they were affected and gather suggestions for reopening the economy.

The results went straight to Gov. Mike Parson's top staff, according to email records provided to The Associated Press under the state Sunshine Law. Less than a week later, the Republican governor announced that all businesses could reopen — one of the quickest restarts nationally.

The Missouri business survey is just one of many examples of how governors across the U.S. were inundated with reopening advice from a wide range of industries during a critical early juncture in the nation’s battle against the worst pandemic in a century and the resulting recession.

Many governors chose to reopen before their states met all the nationally recommended health guidelines, which include a sustained downward rate of infection and robust testing and contact tracing. Since then, confirmed COVID-19 cases have surged in most states, including Missouri.

“I think states felt a lot of

pressure to reopen because of the economic pain that the communities were experiencing,” said Anita Cicero, deputy director of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security.

The Associated Press filed open-records requests in May seeking copies of communications between governors’ offices and health, business and local government organizations during the period when they were considering reopening plans. The AP received records at no cost from at least 15 states, including Missouri.

A few states sought to charge the AP hundreds or thousands of dollars. Many others still haven’t provided records, citing delays in complying with open-records laws because of the coronavirus.

Records provided by Parson’s office included a survey of 146 businesses conducted

by Associated Industries of Missouri from April 15-20.

About two-thirds of respondents said their business had significantly declined during the pandemic. The survey results also included extensive comments from business leaders.

Some urged caution and a gradual approach to reopening.

“We would love to be back to normal, but not if it creates a second wave of risk,” wrote

MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION

one person. Another warned: “The lack of available testing for COVID-19 makes it reckless to relax the present stay at home orders.”

But more business leaders pleaded to allow customers back in their doors.

“RE-Start our economy before we don’t have one.

Please,” implored one survey respondent. Another wrote: “Just get out of the way and LET US GO TO WORK!!!!!!”

The results were forwarded to Parson’s chief of staff April 21 with an explanation from Associated Industries of Missouri President Ray McCarty that the governor was getting them before others.

“Thank you, this is really helpful and informative,” replied Parson's chief of staff, Aaron Willard.

Less than a week later, Parson announced that all Missouri businesses could re-open May 4, so long as they implemented social distancing guidelines.

Parson spokeswoman Kelli Jones told the AP the business survey “provided quality information” and that the administration has “attempted to reach out and engage with all stakeholders who have been impacted by COVID-19.”

McCarty told the AP he sent

As classes are set to begin this week, several area school districts held a “prayer at the pole” event on Sunday afternoon. Spickard R-2, pictured above, was among the districts taking part. Spickard students head back to the classroom on Thursday. Other districts opening this week include Laredo R-7 and Grundy R-5 on Tuesday and Trenton R-9 and Pleasant View R-6 on Wednesday.

Right-Of-Way Maintenance Cost Savings

GEC Partner In Wildife Habitat Project The Missouri Department of Conservation is partnering with the Grundy Electric Cooperative on a project to benefit wildlife habitat and reduce power line right-of-way maintenance costs.

Private property owners are also a voluntary partner. MDC’s Wires Over Wildlife program provides expertise and cost-share money for converting overgrown brush and trees under electrical distribution lines into more productive wildlife habitat, such as food plots or native wildflowers that benefit pollinators and wildlife.

“One of the benefits I see is that the right-of-ways can provide connectivity for wildlife between habitats,” said Jason Jensen, MDC community and private Land conservation chief.

The co-op is developing a pilot project in Grundy County, southwest of Trenton, with the help of MDC Private Land Conservationist Scott Roy. Grundy Electric Cooperative primarily serves Grundy, Mercer, and Harrison counties, but the co-op also has members in portions of nine other counties and maintains more than 2,200 miles of distribution lines.

“This gives us an alternative way to maintaining right-of-way,” said Scott Wilson, co-op general manager. “We can turn a right-of-way into a pollinator plot or a food plot that a landowner maintains, which keeps us from having to clear brush under the lines in the future.”

Missouri’s rural electric cooperatives must keep trees out of distribution lines

Sunny skikes and hot temperatures in the area through Thursday with highs forecast to be in the mid to upper 90s and lows to be in the upper 60s to low 70s. The high at Trenton on Thursday, Aug. 20 was 85, Friday’s high was 89 and Saturday’s high was 90. The high on Sunday was 95 with a low of 70. There was no report from the Government Weather Station near Spickard.

that carry electricity from substations to homes and businesses. Under the voluntary WOW program, a landowner with distribution lines crossing or bordering their property will be able to request that right-of-way vegetation be converted to wildlife friendly habitat. Native wildflowers and grasses add beauty, and they provide food and shelter for deer, turkeys, rabbits, butterflies and songbirds.

MDC will provide expertise and plans for projects. The co-op will provide costshare funds. Landowners will also contribute to the cost-share project, including annual maintenance such as mowing or light disking.

Cattle grazing may also be a management option. Well-managed grazing by cattle reduces vegetation density and adds openness, which greatly benefits ground-nesting grassland birds such as bobwhite quail.

According to the MDC, the WOW program can provide more wildlife for property owners while reducing co-op maintenance costs. Also, after major storms with severe winds, openness under the lines makes it easier for co-op crews to reach the lines needing repair. The WOW program is also an option for other electric cooperatives in the state.

“I think any time the co-ops can work with anyone to help our members it is a good thing,” said Caleb Jones, CEO for the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives. “Not only will this help us save money, it will also help wildlife. We’re proud to be a partner with the Missouri Department of Conservation.”

Bulldogs Benefit From Scrimmage Trenton Holds Its Own At Chilli Jamboree Trenton senior defense end Royce Jackson raced down field to catch a Chillicothe running back. When he did, he reached out and stripped the ball. The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the ground, signaling the ball carrier was down before he fumbled the ball. Trenton’s players reacted as one might expect under such circumstances, but the stands at Chilicothe’s Jerry Litton Memorial Stadium remained quiet.

Former gridiron rivals Trenton and Chillicothe met on Friday afternoon in a two-team jamboree, but no one saw it as the event was closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic. Only players, coaches and a small smattering of administrators and media were on hand to witness the Bulldogs and Hornets face off on a football field for the first time in years.

For Trenton, there were glaring issues present, but plenty of highlights to glean from the glorified scrimmage with their neighbors to the south. In other words, pretty much standard stuff for a high school football jamboree.

Trenton played two varsity sessions and two junior varsity sessions with Chillicothe. The first of each session saw each offense get the ball for 12 plays while the second was stopped after eight offensive plays each. On the varsity level, Trenton failed to score on its 20 combined plays while Chillicothe scored three times.

At the junior varsity level, Trenton scored once, on the final play of the event, while the Bulldogs’ JV defense shut

out Chillicothe’s second unit, forcing two turnovers in the process. “I thought our kids came out and played hard,� Trenton’s second-year head coach Kevin Hixson said. “We might have been a little bit intimidated when we first got here, with Chillicothe being a little bit bigger school, but we have a lot of young kids and it was a great opportunity to come out and get some experience, butting heads with someone besides yourself and really working on some stuff. This was kind of a practice scrimmage. We took time to teach while we were out there and I think both teams really benefitted.�

Trenton wasn’t able to score a varsity touchdown, but the Bulldogs play on the line was a highlight for Trenton on both sides of the ball. Trenton had plenty of positive plays yardwise and on the defensive side, save for two rushing plays and two passing plays, the Bulldogs generally contained Chillicothe’s offense. The Hornets broke off a 40-yard touchdown run on their first play of

the day, but only returned to the end zone thanks to long pass plays on their final two plays of the initial 12-plays – the first setting up a diving catch in the end zone on the second.

In the second session, Jackson’s strip that didn’t count allowed the Hornets to score one final time a few plays later. “I think our line has done a great job,� Hixson said. “We have a lot of young kids up there and they are working their tails off in practice.

Coach (Jon) Guthrie and Coach (Levi) Marlay have done a great job trying to keep them motivated and keep them moving together. They are kind of a group within a group and I was pleased with their effort today.�

Trenton couldn’t get into the end zone offensively, but moved the ball with a couple of passes from Coleman Griffin to Quincy Griffin in the first session. In the second session, Trenton put together a few decent runs but again failed to cross the goal line in the eight-play session.

Defensively, Jackson was a standout, adding a sack to his downfield strip. While his play was encouraging, Hixson praised his leadership following the jamboree. “I have a lot of expectations for Royce,� Hixson said. “He is a smart kid, works hard and he is dedicated. He will help our young guys and help them develop as well developing more himself and getting a little bit more salty up there on that defensive line. He’s one of our best receivers, too, at tight end, so we are excited about having Royce and him being a senior. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he will probably be a senior captain because he has great leadership.�

Trenton’s JV thwarted the Hornets’ attempt at a shutout for the entire event as freshman running back Gabe Novak busted loose for a 30-yard run that set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Collin Taylor to Novak.

The play came on the final snap of the jamboree and put an exclamation point on a strong day for the Bulldogs’ second unit. In addition to the score, Trenton’s JV forced three fumbles, recovering two of them while holding the Hornets’ JV offense out of the end zone. “I know Chillicothe has got to be upset at having those fumbles out there, but that’s what’s going to happen when you get those young kids out there,� Hixson said. “We had a lot of mistakes out there and we have a lot of work to do, but I was pretty pleased with the varsity and the junior varsity – the young kids. We had a lot of young kids get some reps in there, so it was pretty beneficial.�

Trenton will open the season in earnest this Friday, hosting Brookfield at C.F. Russell Stadium at 7 p.m. “(Brookfield) has a running back kind of like Chillicothe,�

Hixson said. “He is a goodsized kid, 190-, 195-, 200pounder and they are going to run some of the same stuff that Chilli ran today. That’s why I was really excited when coach (Tim) Rulo texted me and said ‘hey, do you want to get together.’ It gives us kind of an opportunity to see, kind of, what Brookfield is going to be like. I know (Chillicothe) is a little bit bigger up front, but we are expecting the same type of effort and the same type of offense, so (the jamboree) was really beneficial.�

LOCAL Rotary Club Holds Meeting The Trenton Rotary Club met on Thursday, Aug. 20 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall.

President Kim Washburn presided at the meeting and led the club in the pledge to the U.S. flag. Tom Witten gave the prayer.

Members held a “club chat� as plans continue to be made for upcoming activities. There was much discussion regarding the Missouri Day Festival Parade, which is sponsored by the club. It had previously been announced that a final decision about the 2020 parade will be made at the Sept. 10 meeting. The marching festival that is held in conjunction with the Missouri Day event is still being planned, however, the final format is yet to be determined. It was noted plans could change on all festival-related events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was discussion regarding membership, with a survey to be sent out electronically to current members to gather their input regarding meeting times, program topics, committee assignments, etc.

The club plans to offer an option of attending meetings via “Zoom� in the future once a

meeting schedule is completed.

The club also talked about finances, reminding members they need to pay any delinquent dues as soon as possible.

Each member has been sent an invoice on how much he/she owes through the end of August.

Chris Hoffman reported on the club’s district grant project at the Rissler Elementary School, which included the purchase and installation of shelving units for use by Bright Futures Trenton. The club has also purchased a washer and dryer for use at the school as well as paid for some labor costs associated with the project.

Members were reminded about the fish fry on Sept. 12, which will be a drive-through event at the Rock Barn area.

Money raised is used by the club for its Rotary International “peace project� contribution.

The next meeting will be at noon on Thursday, Aug. 27 at the church. Members are reminded to make their lunch reservation with either Mrs. Washburn or Diane Lowrey no later than 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Republicans Hold Meeting The Grundy County Republican Central Committee met on Thursday, Aug. 20 to elect officers and discuss other business.

Elected chairman was Becky McDonald. Other officers are Joe Brinser, vice chairman; Jill Eaton, secretary; and Courtney Campbell, treasurer. Committee members for townships and city wards were

also approved.

It was decided the committee would have its election headquarters located at 1101 E. Ninth St. and would also have a booth at the Missouri Day Festival as well as an entry in the festival parade.

Approval was also given to design of a committee Facebook page.

R-2 Building Contract OK’d The Chillicothe R-2 Board of Education has finalized a contract to construct a new district headquarters, which has been estimated to cost $1.6 million.

The Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune reported the facility will house both the administrative offices and the “transition-to-life� headquarters. Weldon Construction will

do the work, with a completion date of April 2021.

The building is to be constructed near the high school.

As has been previously announced, the construction is being paid for with insurance funds the school district received when the previous district office was damaged due to flooding.

With Pools Closed, Some St. Louisans Are Renting Theirs By The Hour KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) — Strangers have been swimming in Mary Lee SalzerLutz’s backyard pool this summer.

Salzer-Lutz is renting out her family’s 22-foot, above-ground pool, with four windows and LED lighting, through an app called Swimply — think Airbnb for pool owners. She’s making $30 an hour, and has hosted families she had never met, even a couple who spent a date night poolside, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. “It’s been such a huge surprise,� SalzerLutz said of the demand. “I didn’t even finish the registration process before I had my first booking.�

Public pools and aquatic centers across the region have closed this summer due to the coronavirus. Swimming lessons and pool parties have been canceled. But with the Midwest summer predictably hot and humid, a groundswell of alternatives has arisen.

Some swim instructors have adapted, teaching behind masks and shields. A Chicago-based chain of swim schools is making plans to build four upscale facilities here. And Swimply, which rolled out nationwide last summer, is getting a toehold locally. It touts itself as the first online marketplace for pool sharing.

Pool-seekers can see photos and read reviews of pools before they book, and each pool is inspected for safety and hygiene prior to listing, the company said.

That leaves Salzer-Lutz and other poolowners — including a man in Lindenwood Park who rented his pool for a music-video shoot — tapping into a market of people craving time in the water, when finding a place to swim hasn’t been quite so easy.

Public pools have closed from Sunset Hills to Florissant, Chesterfield to Webster Groves.

The Ellisville City Council decided early to close its pool for the season, voting April 15 not to open it on the traditional Memorial Day Weekend.

“It was a combination of the COVID unknowns, the human-resource unknowns and, honestly, the safety of our staff,� said Mayor Mike Roemerman.

The cost of operating the pool also was a factor — closing the pool was part of budget trims the city made to deal with a downtick in revenue due to the coronavirus, he said.

The momentary downturn in pool usage hasn’t deterred some from investing.

Ben Cahill and his father, Jack Cahill, purchased the franchise rights to build four Big Blue Swim School locations in the St. Louis area.

The chain has 80 locations in development across the country, and it touts its easy scheduling through an app. Parents can schedule lessons for kids who are different ages at the same time, and accommodate requests including preference for a male or female teacher. The app uses an algorithm to match all criteria. �We’re almost investing in a technology company that teaches swimming lessons,� said Ben Cahill. The father of three from Town and Country, said the convenience factor got him excited about the company.

Their plan is to open one pool a year, starting next year. Each pool is expected to cost $1.8 million to $2.5 million. Parents pay a monthly membership, which breaks down to roughly $25 per lesson.

They’ll enter a crowded market. Highend swim schools dot the region, especially in St. Charles and west St. Louis counties.

The Gateway Region YMCA is being extra careful these days: Group classes are smaller. Reservations must be made for lap swimming. Employees disinfect the pool deck and locker room entrances between sessions. Teachers wear face shields.

But the Y has seen an uptick in parents choosing private and semiprivate lessons, said Tricia Meinhold, the Y’s vice president of operations.

�We encourage people to put their kids in swim lessons,� Meinhold said. “It provides some normalcy. And this is a lifesaving skill.�

Demand for pools and swim schools is driven by demographics, said Ben Terrill, a franchising consultant. Middle-class families with kids, plus a bit of expendable income.

Enter the market for renting private pools.

In the St. Louis area, 25 pools are listed for rent on Swimply, including one owned

by Scott Schumaier, who lives in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood of St. Louis.

He rents out his 16-by-30-foot backyard pool for $60 an hour. �Growing up, pools were a big part of my life. I was at a pool every single day. I like providing that experience to kids missing it now,� he said.

He said he’s rented out his pool about 20 times through Swimply, and another dozen or so through Facebook for children’s birthday parties or family gatherings.

His guests text him if they need to come into the house to use a bathroom. They wash hands before entering, and while inside they wear a mask.

He thinks he’ll continue renting it out, even when public pools reopen. �Maybe the demand will be down, but it’s a unique experience and the people who are using it this year like the experience of a private pool,� Schumaier said.

A few days ago, he had a unique experience of his own: He hosted a video shoot for a rap song.

On a recent Saturday, music video director Fonzy Marcelis — aka Director Fonzy — and rapper Ben Luke rented Schumaier’s blue-tiled pool and tropical backyard. They brought in cameras, cold beverages, beach balls and a bevy of women in bathing suits.

It was, Schumaier said, the most interesting rental at his pool all summer.

Missouri Won’t Use 85 Ballot Drop Boxes For November Vote JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri will not use 85 new ballot drop boxes for the Nov. 3 election out of concern that confusion over a new state voting law might invalidate some mail-in ballots, election officials said.

A law approved by the Legislature this year requires people to notarize their mail-in ballots, then mail completed ballots back to local election officials, with some exceptions. That means mail-in ballots put into a drop box would not be counted, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

The law does not affect absentee ballots, which may be returned by mail or in person. Voters do not need an excuse to receive a mail-in ballot but must cite one of seven reasons included in the law to receive an absentee ballot.

Maura Browning, spokeswoman for Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, said most of the new drop boxes were ordered before the Legislature changed the election laws, and they were all ordered before GOP Gov. Mike Parson signed the proposal.

She noted that in previous elections all alternative ballots could be returned in person but said the state is "operating under a whole other set of rules,� for November's election. “This is not about us trying to make it difficult for voters,�

Browning said. “We’re trying to ensure that their votes count.�

At $501 per box, the order will cost $42,585. Browning said the office will use money from the Help America Vote Act to pay for the boxes. She said the new laws are in effect only for this year, so the drop boxes could be used in future elections.

The requirement that mail-in ballots cannot be dropped off in person was one of five Missouri election laws cited in a lawsuit filed Thursday in Cole County challenging their constitutionality.

The lawsuit was filed by three St. Louis-area voters and the Washington, D.C., voting rights organization American Women. “Under the Mail-Return Mandate, a well-intentioned and otherwise qualified Mail-In voter who reasonably decides to drop off her ballot at her local polling place on Election Day — perhaps because a family member, an Absentee voter, plans to do the same — would be completely disenfranchised,� according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also challenges a Missouri law that invalidates any ballot that does not arrive in election officials' offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day, even if the ballot is postmarked by Election Day. The lawsuit also contends that because voters using the new method must return ballots by mail, the Postal Service might be overwhelmed.

The Postal Service has recommended voters send ballots back by mail no later than Oct. 27, a week before the election, to ensure they are returned to election officials in time to be counted.

At the same time, you sound very particular about how cleaning is done. Don't say anything to your stepdaughter. She obviously tried, and her mom is not doing well.

Just don't have her clean again.

You make beautiful feminine nightgowns -- that could go on the dance floor -- but pajamas that look like we are going to work in the mines (or sleep in them). They have the same old men's shirts with piping around and down the button front and patch pocket.

Where are the laces, ribbons, bows, baby buttons, ruffles and frills? Anything that shows we are female and sexy?

We want necklines that are imaginative and decorative,

Dear Annie: My wife and I are a retired elderly couple living in a ranch-style home.

Over the last four years, my wife has had some health issues and is limited in what she can do. I have been more or less a caregiver, doing all the chores around the house, such as cleaning, washing clothes, cooking and shopping.

Her daughter, who is my stepdaughter and over 50 years old, has been asking to help us with the housework. So, this past week, we asked her to clean a dining room for us by dusting; washing windows; cleaning woodwork, a china closet, a buffet and a dining table; and sweeping the floor.

I noticed this morning that the buffet looked unclean. I took a baby wipe and just went along the edges, and it was not clean, and the baby wipe was very dirty.

I asked my wife if her daughter had cleaned the buffet. She said yes and that she applied Pledge. Should I approach my stepdaughter, who has a temper? I paid $50 for her work. Should I ignore it or

that show we are women but not sluts. We want sleeves that keep us warm and are pretty, not just serviceable. We want bottoms to keep our thighs from sticking together when it's hot, and to keep us warm when it's cold. And do camouflage the bigness of them -maybe just below the knee to mid-calf with lace or ribbons.

And enough fabric to span bigger bellies comfortably. Even at 77, I want to look feminine and sexy for ME, let alone a partner.

Use your imagination, and provide us pajamas we will be proud to wear. -- Petite Lace and Bows Dear Petite Lace and Bows: Perhaps a quick online search could help you find specialsized, feminine PJ's.

The $2 trillion company Apple became the first U.S. company to reach a $2 trillion market value this week as customers kept buying iPhones and investors cheered an upcoming stock split.

Apple shares have gained nearly 60% this year, despite pandemic consequences that shut down factories, closed Apple retail stores, delayed the latest iPhone and hurt the incomes of Apple customers.

None of that slowed demand for its gadgets. In the April-June quarter, iPhone sales rose 2%, helped by a new budget phone. And a four-for-one stock split, announced during its earnings report, sparked a rally. A split makes

individual shares more affordable and can encourage buying by investors.

Apple took nearly 38 years to reach $1 trillion in market value in 2018, after going public in December 1980. It hit the $2 trillion mark just two years later.

Apple is one of five Big Tech companies that account for nearly a quarter of the S&P 500's entire value. The other companies are Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet, Google’s parent company. Shares of all five companies have climbed during the pandemic as shutdowns made online tools more important than ever.
