School District Hit

Local Active Virus Numbers Going Up Active COVID numbers continue to rise in Grundy County, with 56 active cases being monitored by the local health department as of Monday morning. According to information provided by the GCHD, Grundy County has seen its number of active cases increase by 23, going from 33 on Thursday, Sept. 10 to the 56 total of active cases reported today. Of that 56 number, 24 are listed as “probable,” meaning they meet clinical criteria AND epidemiological evidence (close contact with a confirmed or probable case; travel to or residence in an area with sustained, ongoing community spread; or a member of a risk cohort as defined by public health authorities during an outbreak) with no confirmatory lab testing performed for COVID-19. GCHD Administrator Eliza-

beth Gibson said the health department saw a number of new cases over the weekend. She noted that the health department gets reports “around the clock, even on Saturday and Sunday” as well as does contact tracing seven days a week. Since testing began earlier this year, Grundy County has seen 134 total positive cases of COVID. There has also been one death related to the virus. According to the Missouri COVID-19 Dashboard, which is used by the state to track cases, Grundy County has the fourth largest percentage increase of cases of all counties in Missouri during a one week period at 30 percent (the listing was made when Grundy County cases were at 129). COVID has hit the Trenton R-9 School District, which has seen its high school football, high school volleyball and middle school softball teams

Virtual Field Day Set Each year, the Thompson Research Center at Spickard opens its doors to the public to share research findings and information related to agriculture and natural resources during its field day. This year is going to look a little bit different. Instead of offering an inperson event, the Thompson Center will go virtual this year, along with the rest of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Agricultural Research Centers. A handful of online, prerecorded presentations will be available via the center’s website during the virtual field day set for Thursday, Sept. 24. “We really wish that we could meet with our attendees in-person,” said Jon Schreffler, farm manager of the Thompson Research Center. “We will miss the face-to-face conversations that are a key part of our mission, as we really value the back-and-forth discussions that occur during our annual event. While it’s not exactly the same, we thought a virtual offering would at least allow us to share the important information that our local producers use in their operations.” Speakers will focus on timely topics related to agriculture and natural resources, with an emphasis on cattle. During the virtual offering, viewers will see a few familiar speakers from past in-person See Field, Page 6

Public Can View Competition Online

2020 Marching Festival Is Going Virtual Challenged by the recent increases in COVID-19 pandemic cases throughout the region, the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival Committee has announced this year’s event will be held virtually, with schools submitting videos of their performances competing to be the big winner at this year’s marching festival. As a result, there will be no live event taking place as part of the Missouri Day Festival activities planned for Oct. 16-17. Instead, the public will be able to view the videos via the Marching Band Festival’s Facebook page and will also have the chance to help select the “Viewer’s Choice” award winner. Competitions to be included in the virtual judging are indoor auxilary, indoor precussion and parade. Speaking on behalf of the Marching Festival’s steering committee, Phil Ray said members feel it is important to keep students involved in performing arts through these trying times, which led the committee to make the decision for a virtual event. It seems that around each corner another setback is in store for students,” Ray said. “We care about all of our competitors and felt that while it is far from a traditional marching competition, it is important to share the dedication of the performers and educators that work so diligently year in and year out because after all, the show must go on.” Ray said the committee is disappointed that a different direction was determined this past weekend, but after waiting as long as possible,

the committee felt this new twist would still allow for a great competition and offer lots of audience participation and enjoyment. The committee is now working with high school bands to be a part of the 2020 virtual competition. To participate, bands must be registered for the 2020 Missouri Days Virtual Marching Festival by Sept. 30. The committee said there is no charge to register for the 2020 festival as several generous sponsors have stepped up to make this virtual event possible. Bands will be able to submit performance videos to be judged virtually. Judging scores will then be tabulated to determine first, second and third place in each class of competition based on MSHSAA guidelines. Contacts to register are to be made with Katie Kinney at 660-654-1443 or at the website, www.missouridaysmarching.com. Schools will receive written comments by adjudicators and scored by a standardized rubric along with the top three in each MSHSAA class receiving plaques, just as in a traditional marching festival setting. Field show videos will be limited to 15 minutes in length while indoor events will be allotted 10 minutes for each performance. These time constraints are the same as those used in the traditional schedule for the Missouri Days Marching Festival. Throughout the week of Oct. 12, videos will be released, grouped by MSHSAA class size, at a predetermined time and made public on the

National Weather Service

Sunny skies and mild temperatures are expected this week with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s and lows in the 50s. The high at Trenton on Thursday, Sept. 10 was 55, Friday’s high was 64 and Saturday’s high was 77. The high on Sunday was 76 with a low of 54. A total of 2.06 inches of rain fell during that time period. The high on Sunday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 75, the low was 50.

Li ve e Miissouri Da ay Festival Parade Cancelled Due to concerns with the recent increase of positive COVID-19 cases and the announcement that the marching band festival will be held virtually rather than live, the Trenton Rotary Club has announced it has cancelled the Missouri Day Festival Parade for this year. Parade Committee Co-chairman Brian Upton said that until recently, the club had been making plans to hold the 2020 parade in October. At its meeting on Sept. 10, members voted to cancel this year’s event out of concern for the safety of those taking part in the parade as well as those who would be gathering to watch the Saturday morning event. “The community has always been good in supporting the parade as evidenced by the large crowds attending each year,” he said. “However, with COVID numbers seeing a spike in recent weeks, club members decided the safety of the community as well as those who would be coming to town to attend the parade should be our first consideration.” Changes in the marching band festival, which provides many of the band entries in the parade, was also a factor in the decision, Upton said. “A lot of the audience comes to the parade to see the high school bands perform,” he said. “And without them this year, we felt we could not present the quality of parade we would like for our viewers.” The Marching Band Festival Committee has since announced it would include a parade competition as part of its virtual presentation (see main story).

Missouri Days Marching Festival Facebook page. The performance schedule will be released following the Sept. 30 registration deadline. The winners will be announced on Saturday, Oct. 17. In addition to the judging conducted by special judges, this year’s format will also be giving an award for “Viewer’s Choice.” Committee members said the winner will be determined by the video that receives the most “likes” on the Marching Festival Facebook page. The Viewer’s Choice Award will be an open class division for indoor auxiliary, indoor percussion

and field show performances. The committee asks the public to “stay tuned for festival updates and more school commitments” on the following websites - www.miss o u r i d a y s m a r c h i n g . c o m , www.midwestmarching.com - or by viewing the Missouri Days Band Festival page on Facebook. Plans are already under way for the 2021 Missouri Days Marching Festival with big plans to make it one of the most memorable competitions in recent years.

Two More Trenton Teams Shelved High School Football, Middle School Softball Out With COVID Two more Trenton athletic programs were sidelined late last week after positive COVID cases. The Trenton High School football team and middle school softball team each were hit by the virus, placing each team in quarantine. The football team found out on Thursday, cancelling their scheduled match-up at Princeton on Friday. Trenton will also lose its game at Putnam County this week. Sept. 22 is

set as the return date for the football program, meaning Trenton would be able to return to practice that date and be eligible to play on Friday, Sept. 25. Trenton is scheduled to play host to Milan that night for homecoming. The Trenton Middle School softball team discovered on Friday that there was a positive test within the program. The last point of contact for that program was actually a day earlier than the football team, so the softball program will see a return date of Sept. 21. That would allow the team to be back on the diamond one day before a scheduled contest with Kirksville on Sept. 22 at home. For middle school softball, Trenton will attempt to

The postponement was the third of the week for Trenton, which did not play a single game during the stretch. Trenton has had five events rained out, though two have been made up.

Medical Marijuana Lawsuits Cost State $1.3 Million So Far JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Missouri regulators have spent $1.3 million to defend themselves in court against a wave of lawsuits filed by businesses that were denied medical marijuana business licenses. Businesses that didn't receive permits from the state filed 853 appeals through the state's Administrative Hearing Commission, and 785 of those cases remained unresolved last week, said Lisa Cox, spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Senior Services, which runs the medical marijuana division. Cox told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the legal fees are a one-time cost associated with getting Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program up and running, but critics said it is a reflection of problems in the way permits were awarded. She said the state received 2,270 facility applications but only awarded 348 total licenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of appeals is not an indication of flaws in the process, but rather the high number of applicants,â&#x20AC;? Cox said. Lawyer Chuck Hatfield, who represents eight businesses that appealed after not getting state licenses, said the process to review applications for medical marijuana licenses appears flawed because companies received different scores for

some of their answers on the form even though they were identical to what other companies submitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They answered verbatim the way other applicants answered, because a lot of the applicants shared common consultants on certain issues,â&#x20AC;? Hatfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so our answers are identical to the word, to the way other applicants answered, and yet we got a different score.â&#x20AC;? State lawmakers are in the middle of reviewing the medical marijuana permit application process, but that investigation has been on hold for several months because of the coronavirus pandemic. The money spent on legal bills comes from fees medical marijuana cardholders and business applicants have paid the department. Those fees, after covering the cost of running the program, are supposed to be deposited into a new Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health and Care Fund. The medical marijuana program had generated $19 million as of December, so the legal fees represent a small portion of the money that has been raised. The health department had, as of December, spent another $3.1 million administering the program.

Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick before Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s induction to the Hall of Fame. Peter Gorton, a member of the John Donaldson Network who has researched the pitcher, said the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to honor Donaldson will help people learn about Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s importance to African Americans in baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to change the way people view African American athletes whose legacies have been taken away from them by our segregated past,â&#x20AC;? Gorton said. Donaldson had 413 wins and 5,091 strikeouts between 1908 to 1940. He was also a founding member of the Negro Leaguesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kansas City Monarchs and would become the first Black scout in Major League Baseball. Donaldson is one of many notable Negro Leagues athletes that have still not been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But

CURBING CRIME IN MISSOURI For a little more than a month, the Missouri Legislature has been taking a careful look at ways to curb violent crime throughout our state. While the main focus has been on larger cities, such as St. Louis and Kansas City, the main consensus has been there is an increase in the worst crimes not only in the big cities, but rural Missouri as well. On July 27, the Missouri General Assembly returned to Jefferson City at the behest of the governor. We started work on an extraordinary session with the goal of reducing violent crime. What was crafted in the Missouri Senate had to be set aside due to concerns about too many different individual points in a single bill. Instead, the Missouri

House of Representatives drafted multiple measures, each with a single issue included. After the House discussed and passed these five proposals, they then came to the Missouri Senate. House Bill 66 creates a statewide witness protection fund. House Bill 2 allows hearsay evidence when witnesses have given statements and were then killed or intimidated before they could appear in court. House Bill 11 considers it felony child endangerment to encourage, aid or cause a child under 17 to commit violent weapons or drug offenses, which I believe would also help combat the growing trend of gang violence in cities. House Bill 46 temporarily relaxes the

Gorton is not concerned with that. He just wants people to know about Donaldson. Gorton had believed that people weren't interested in the Negro Leagues or that newspapers didn't cover it, but through his research, he realized that was not true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found 7,854 newspaper articles pertaining to John Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career,â&#x20AC;? Gorton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means newspapers wrote about him and they wrote about African American (athletes). It was just a part of our biased history that had kept him from being rediscovered.â&#x20AC;? The color barrier, which wasn't dismantled until the 1940s, kept Donaldson from playing in the major leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Donaldson physically dominated everybody he played against hist entire career,â&#x20AC;? Gorton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major League teams, owners and managers wanted him on their teams."

residency requirement for police officers in the City of St. Louis. Several of these measures where amended by the Missouri Senate during debate, which means they will need to receive another round of approval from the Missouri House before moving to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk for his consideration. As I reflect on the legislation passed over the course of the past week, I realized these measures are not the final answer to our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violent crime problem. When it comes to violent crime, a singular solution does not exist; however, I do believe these measures give our law enforcement officers the additional tools they need to help clean up our streets and make our great state a safer place for everyone who calls Missouri home.

Glasgow Honors Negro Baseball League Pitcher GLASGOW, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Missouri school district has unveiled a statue of a local baseball legend known for his pitching during his career in the Negro Baseball League. Earlier this month, Glasgow Public Schools also dedicated its new baseball field in honor of John Wesley Donaldson, the Columbia Daily Tribune reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I often say that the government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make this state great,â&#x20AC;? Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe said at Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the people. The people leaving legacies like John Donaldson. Being great means impacting those around you. Focusing on your purpose by serving others.â&#x20AC;? After Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1970, he was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2017. And even then, people still did not know of him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Donaldson is one of the greatest baseball players who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably never heard of,â&#x20AC;? said Negro Leagues

COMMUNITY / LOCAL Celebrating Constitution Week September 17-23 Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: The following information was provided by the Dorcas Richardson Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution. Sept. 17-23 is "Constitution Week.â&#x20AC;? The tradition of celebrating the constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug. 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the constitution is the basis for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the constitution in September 1787. Some interesting facts regarding the constitution: â&#x20AC;˘ The U.S. constitution has 4,440 words. It is the oldest and shortest written Constitution of any major government in the world today. The most glaring spelling error is Pennsylvania. It was spelled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pensylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The constitution was penned by Jacob Shallus, a Pennsylvania General Assembly clerk, for $30. â&#x20AC;˘ During the convention, George Washington sat in a chair that had a representation of half a sun on the top, which Benjamin

Franklin regularly gazed at during troublesome moments of the proceedings. Asked why, he said he was unable to decide if the sun was rising or setting. Only when the constitution was signed did Franklin decide the sun was rising. â&#x20AC;˘ John Adams referred to the constitution as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the greatest single effort of national deliberation that the world has ever seenâ&#x20AC;? and George Washington wrote to Marquis de Lafayette that â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the constitution) appears to me, then, a little short of a miracle.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The constitution was written before political parties were a player in American politics. When John Adams was chosen for president in the 1796 election, the second-place candidate, Thomas Jefferson, became vice president. But Adams was a Federalist and Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican. The result was the 12th Amendment, approved in Congress on Dec. 9, 1803, and ratified on June 15, 1804 (189 days), in time for the new process to be in place for the 1804 election. With the 12th Amendment, electors are directed to vote for a president and for a vice president rather than for two choices for president. â&#x20AC;˘ The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;democracyâ&#x20AC;? does not appear in the constitution. â&#x20AC;˘ Only one constitutional amendment has ever been enacted to repeal another. On Dec. 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified, as announced in this proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment of Jan. 16, 1919, ending the increasingly unpopular nationwide prohibition of alcohol.

Trade deficit climbing The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted global trade and upended President Donald Trump’s drive to shrink America’s huge trade deficits. The gap between what America sells and what it buys from abroad expanded in July to its widest point in 12 years. It’s up nearly 2% so far this year compared with the same period last year. One reason: Surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer spending revved up summertime demand for cellphones and other imports. The 2020 figures mark a reversal from 2019, when the U.S. trade deficit dropped amid Trump’s

trade war with China. Overall, the pandemic has been a disaster for global commerce. Total U.S. trade — exports plus imports — is down 15% this year. Exports alone have dropped 17%. Exports of services such as tourism and banking are off even more: 19%. Economists had warned all along that narrowing the trade gap permanently would prove difficult. Decades of government policies and Americans’ desire for inexpensive goods have resulted in the U.S. becoming a nation that consumes more than it produces. And imports fill the shortfall.

resentment into a healing conversation. Does your husband know how it hurt your feelings and made you angry that he didn't attend the funerals or help relocating your mother? You have the power to express yourself and share, so do so. And listen to why he wasn't there to support you. If he is unconcerned or unapologetic, then I would suggest marriage counseling. Dear Annie: We took in my son, his wife and her toddler son. Her son has struggles and is in the process of getting tested for autism. He is now 5 years old and supposed to be starting kindergarten this year; however, he's not completely potty trained, so the school system wants him to do a year of preschool first. Our problem is that his mom is doing nothing -- no child care application, no preschool and no autism test. We're wondering if we should do what we think is best for the boy and turn her in to family services for neglect. We don't know how much more of his behaviorial issues we can take. -- At a Loss Dear At a Loss: While you might be feeling at a loss, this

Dear Annie: I had two brothers die within a year of each other. One was 53, and the other was 62. They were my only remaining siblings. They resided in Ohio, and I live in Arizona. I had to plan both funerals by myself and clean out and sell whatever I could of their homes and possessions. At the same time, my mom was diagnosed with dementia and had to be put in a nursing home. Eventually, I brought her to live with me in Arizona. I had to clean and sell her house, and her belongings, too. I was in Ohio for four months getting everything straightened out. My husband of 12 years never came to help, nor did he come to the funerals. Am I wrong for resenting him for this? -- Alone at Funerals Dear Alone: No, you are not wrong for resenting his absence. Marriage is a partnership, and when your partner is going through a difficult time, you should be at her side and not leaving her to carry the entire burden herself. However, resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Let's work on turning your

poor child is the one suffering the most. Speak with your son about your concerns and tell him that you are thinking of calling social services regarding neglect. The child's well-being must come first, and if he is living under your roof, then you are correct to be concerned. This child needs support and love. As for the behavioral issues, consider learning more about supporting children and grandchildren with autism from resources such as the Autism Speaks website: https://www.autismspeaks.org/t ool-kit/grandparents-guideautism. Dear Annie: I just wanted to remind your readers of another way to use up excess garden produce. Many urban gardens are in "food deserts." In our city, there is a "share shelf" in which people can share the excess bounty of their gardens with others who live in these food deserts. When I am going in that direction, I drop off my excess vegetables. This allows others who live near these "share shelves" to get healthy food for free. Please urge your readers to look into this option if they are near any of these types of gardens. -- Sharing Abundance Dear Sharing Abundance: What a great tip. Thank you for the idea!
