An ABSENTEE BALLOT will then be sent to you and it must be received in the clerk’s office by NOV. 3. If you are voting absentee, you will need to have your ballot NOTARIZED unless you meet these requirements: you are incapacitated or confined due to illness or physical disability, including caring for a person who is incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability OR you have contracted or are in an at-risk category for contracting or transmitting COVID-19. Those listed as atrisk would include being age 65 or older, having serious heart conditions, being immunocompromised, having liver disease, living in long-term care facilities licensed under Chapter 198 RSMO, having chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma, haviving chronic kidney disease and undergoing dialysis or having diabetes. ALL ABSENTEE BALLOTS MUST BE SIGNED. Those that are returned without a signature will not be counted. Ballots that are required to be notarized but aren’t will not be counted. Request a Mail-In Ballot Any registered voter may request a mail-in ballot without giving a reason. Again, it’s a two-step process with the voter being required to fill out an application to request a ballot.

A difference between requesting an absentee ballot and requesting a mailin ballot is that the application for a mail-in ballot must be returned to the county clerk in person or by mail (so, not by fax or email). As is true with the request for an absentee ballot, the sooner the request is made, the better, but the state has a deadline of OCT. 21 at 5 p.m. ALL mail-in ballots must

Other Things To Remember: • You can call the clerk’s office at 359-4040, ext. 4 and ask that an application for an absentee or mail-in ballot be mailed to you. • The Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library has announced that a notary is on staff and will notarize

absentee ballots, mail-in voting ballots. An appointment should be made by calling 359-3577. • If a voter is attending college away from home, a parent can go to the clerk’s office and sign an application so a ballot can be mailed to the student. The student would need to See Election, Page 12

If you’re tired of all the political ads on television it might seem like Nov. 3 is a long time away. But if you’re planning to use an absentee or mail-in ballot, you need to take action now and pay attention to the directions to ensure your ballot gets counted. Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard said the best way to vote, if possible, is to go to the polls on Election Day. But if that’s not possible, there are options available, such as: Vote Absentee at the Courthouse If you’re going to be out of town or unable to get to your precinct on Election Day, you can go to Mrs. Spickard’s office, located on the second floor of the courthouse, and request to vote absentee. Those ballots are available Tuesday, Sept. 22 and will not be opened until the other votes are counted on Nov. 3. Absentee ballots can be voted in person until 5 p.m. on Monday Nov. 2. Mrs. Spickard’s office will also be open from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, Oct. 31 for absentee voting. Request an Absentee Ballot By Mail If you’re planning to vote absentee by mail, you’re going to need to get started immediately and remember that it is a two-step process. First, you’ll need to request to have an APPLICATION to vote absentee sent to you. You can return the application in person, by mail, by fax or email. The deadline to request an absentee ballot

Other area county numbers as of Monday morning: Sullivan, 184 (3 active); Livingston, 157 (28 active, 1 death); Linn, 133 (35 active, 2 deaths); Carroll, 115 (7 active, 1 death); Harrison, 108 (12 active, 1 death); Caldwell, 93 (18 active, 2 See COVID, Page 12

Tennis Team Runs Past Tigers For Road Victory

GRC Foes Continue Revenge Tour At Bulldogs’ Expense

Bulldogs Coming To Life, Get 7-2 Win In Kirksville

POLO 14 TRENTON 4 (5 INNINGS)

TRENTON 7 KIRKSVILLE 2

For the way Trenton absolutely abused the Grand River Conference after joining the league ahead of the 2016 season, a season like this was bound to happen. Trenton stacked up run-rule victories and shutouts in the first three seasons within the conference and now a younger, more inexperienced Trenton squad is paying for those crimes alleged against the program. Thursday night, Polo was the latest school to get a measure of revenge, trouncing Trenton by the 10-run rule, 144, in five innings. The loss dropped Trenton to 1-6 overall and 0-4 within the GRC. “The GRC East is very good this year.,” Trenton head coach Joel Hultman said. “The pitching and offense that every team has is maybe the best we will see for a long time. But no one is going to feel sorry for our program, so it’s something that we have to take aggressively from other teams. It’s a challenge we are up to.” Polo tallied three runs in both the first and second innings to build a big lead early. Trenton, however, didn’t shut down in the face of the steep disadvantage. The Bulldogs came back with a four-run third to bring themselves to within two runs. Gracyn Rongey drove a two-run triple and Maci Moore plated Rongey with a double as Trenton battled back. “In the third inning, offensively, we broke out and you could see the flashes that I get to see at practice every day,” Hultman said. “I thought (Polo) felt comfortable up 6-0. Scoring four with runners still on, you could feel a little doubt creep into their dugout. We’ve had innings like that, but they have been few and far between. We’ve been striking out a lot. Tonight we hit a lot of hard balls that they made plays on and the next step for us is getting the base hits from everyone in the lineup and scoring a lot. That is right around the corner for us.” Trenton stayed within two runs until the

After losses at Savannah and Chillicothe to open the season, the Trenton High School girls tennis team has turned the corner. Trenton followed up a win over Carrollton and a strong showing at the Cameron Tournament with a record-leveling 7-2 victory on the road in Kirksville on Thursday. Like the win over Carrollton, Trenton set the tone in doubles play at Kirksville. The Bulldogs’ top duo, Lexi Gott and Morgan Dolan, scored an 8-6 win and Alaina Overton and Mallory Sole followed with an 8-2 victory. Emilee Lovell and Harley Hall wrapped up the sweep of doubles matches, combining for an 8-6 win. In singles play, Trenton con-

top of the fifth, when Polo put the game away with eight runs. The Bulldogs were unable to answer in the bottom of the frame and the game was called due to the run rule. Maci Moore finished with two hits, a run and an RBI to lead the Trenton offense. Rongey had the triple, two RBIs and a run and Chandler Lynch had a hit and a run scored. Ivy Foster and Eliana Cowling had one hit each to round out Trenton’s offensive production and Jena Harris scored Trenton’s other run in the loss. Jenna Reeter took the loss in the circle, allowing 10 runs, six of which were earned, as Trenton committed five errors in the field. Reeter yielded five hits and walked eight while striking out two in three innings. Emma Roberts threw two innings, allowing four runs, all earned, on

one hit and four walks while striking out one. “We have a lack of experience in game situations,” Hultman said. “The only way to go through that is to play as much as possible, make mistakes and then learn from them. I want these players to maximize their potential. I think a lot of other people want them to be like players we’ve had in the past. My girls are great people and great softball players in their own right and all I want them to do is be themselves. We are going to keep grinding out games and practices and hopefully we can turn the corner and get more wins.” Trenton was at home on Monday playing host to Lawson in a non-conference game. The Bulldogs are back on their home diamond again tonight, hosting Milan in a GRC contest. The first pitch for that game is set for 5:30.

With just one practice under their belts after returning from a two-week quarantine, the Trenton High School volleyball team returned to the court, playing their third match of the season. The end result was the same as the two matches Trenton played before a positive COVID test on the roster - a loss. Trenton returned to action on Thursday, traveling to Kirksville, where it fell to the host Tigers 25-14, 25-14, 2512. “I am proud of the girls because I think the score fails to indicate how well they played, especially with only one practice back from quarantine,” Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. “I look forward to next week and the opportunity to

get a win, hopefully more than one even.” Trenton was able to put points on the board in all three sets, but Kirksville took early leads in all three and took the intrigue out of the match fairly early. Evy McCullough led the Bulldogs with five kills and three blocks in the loss while Lilly Berti had one kill and three digs. Kenzie Yuille had five digs, Olivia Roberts had four digs and Jessa Shipley added three digs. Trenton fell to 0-3 on the season with the defeat. Trenton dropped the junior varsity match 25-13, 25-10 and the Bulldogs’ C team lost as well, 25-7, 25-8. Sarah Washburn had two kills, two aces, an assist and a dig in the JV loss. The volleyball program will make up for lost time this week. The Bulldogs hosted Plattsburg on Monday and will be at home today (Tuesday), hosting Hamilton at 5 o’clock.

Lovell fell 9-8 on a 7-4 tiebreaker before Hall closed the dual with a 9-7 win - the seventh victory of the dual for the Bulldogs. “The girls played tough and pulled out wins in close matches,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “Junior Harley Hall picked up her first singles win in a nailbiter, 9-7.” With the win, Trenton pushed its season standing to 2-2 overall. Trenton’s junior varsity was 2-3 against Kirksville. Faith Lee and Chloie Hall netted a 7-6 win on a 7-4 tiebreaker and Lindsey Babcock was a 64 winner in singles play. Lydia Leininger and Jessika Kennedy combined for a 6-4 doubles loss while Hall and Babcock lost 7-5 and Lee and Leininger fell 6-4.

to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime for the Kansas City Chiefs. After a false start and Los Angeles Chargers timeout, Butker was determined to end it. Butker connected from 58 yards with 1:55 remaining in overtime to give the Chiefs a 23-20 victory on Sunday. The defending Super Bowl champs survived a superlative NFL debut by Chargers rookie Justin Herbert, who threw for 311 yards. Butker’s game-winner was his third field goal of the day and his second from 58 yards, which tied a Chiefs record for distance. He’s the second in NFL history to make a pair from 58 in the same game. Kansas City (2-0) has won 11 straight dating back to last season, including playoffs. Four of its last five wins were rallies from double-digit deficits.

TIGER TROUBLE Tigers Return To The Field, Take Loss In Milan MILAN 39 PRINCETON 8

One year ago the Princeton Tigers played host to Grand River Conference preseason favorite Milan and came away with a 25-24 victory. That win, though by a slim margin, propelled Princeton to a three-way share of the GRC title while the loss pushed Milan to a sub.500 finish to a season that began with such promise. The Wildcats certainly remembered the crossroads from a year ago and weren’t about to let history repeat itself this season. On Friday at Milan’s Cal Hubbard Field, the Princeton Tigers were dealt a 39-8 loss in their first official GRC contest of the year after last week’s meeting with Trenton was cancelled due to a positive COVID test on the Bulldogs’ roster. The week off didn’t appear to help the Tigers as Milan remained undefeated on the season with an impressive showing. Princeton was out-

gained 463-177 in a game that was close at halftime. “Milan is a tremendous team and they played the better game,� Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “They were aggressive offensively and their defense stepped up each time it needed to make a play. We knew going in what we needed to stop, but credit goes to their kids for making big plays when they got the opportunity.� Despite Milan’s heavy offensive advantage, the Wildcats only led 16-8 at halftime and they needed huge plays to crack the end zone against the Tigers. An 89-yard run and a 92-yard pass resulted in a 16-0 lead for the home team, but Princeton scored on a 50-yard touchdown pass from Logan Smith to Zeb Schwartzkopf. A two-point run from Ben Berwanger had the Tigers within a score and optimistic at halftime. But the game was all Milan in the second half. Princeton struggled to move the ball on the Wildcats’ defense and the Milan offense began to piece together drives. Three touchdowns and a safety for the Wildcats turned the game into a rout, sending Princeton home with the 31-point loss. Princeton was inside the 10yard line four times in the game, but Milan turned the Tigers away each time. “At that spot on the field it’s a matter of imposing your will on the defense to score,� Powell said. “We simply didn’t do that.� Berwanger led Princeton with 57 yards rushing on 16 carries, but the Tigers only rushed for 62 yards outside of Berwanger’s effort. Smith threw three passes in the game, connecting on the touchdown strike and one other to finish with 57 yards. His lone incompletion was intercepted for the game’s only turnover. With the loss, Princeton fell to 1-2 overall and established an 0-1 record within the GRC. “There are a lot of lessons that we need to learn from tonight,� Powell said. “This loss stung a lot and it’s hard to let go of, but Putnam County is a tough, physical team that we need to completely focus on or we will be trying to learn lessons from another loss. It’s important for us this week to eliminate the mental mistakes that have been plaguing us all season. We need to get some

According to City Clerk Cory Willett, $500 each was approved for the Princeton and Trenton high school bands to march in the CJ DayParade while $400 each was approved for music at the Shoot-Out Gang performance and the high school football team performing karaoke. There was also $75 allowed for music by Karl and Jane Schroeder. Another $400 was approved for entertainment as part of the National Hispanic Heritage Month observance planned in October. Approval was given to the Mother’s Club to hold its annual trunk or treat event on the square from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, pending the COVID-19 situation at that time.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Law And Order Vs. Health Care As Democrats And Republicans Vie For Suburbs WASHINGTON (AP) — In Republican hands for 28 years but now up for grabs, a suburban Missouri congressional district hugging St. Louis has become a lab for what each party considers one of its most lethal political weapons. TV ads by GOP Rep. Ann Wagner show protesters stomping a police car as the narrator accuses Democratic challenger Jill Schupp of support from “radical defund the police organizations.� A Schupp spot says Wagner voted “against people with preexisting conditions during COVID.� The coronavirus causes COVID-19. The pattern is similar outside Philadelphia, where GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick accuses Democratic challenger Christina Finelo of supporting police defunding. Finelo's first ad says Fitzpatrick's backed ending coverage for people with preexisting conditions. Each contests the other's charge. Scores of suburban districts are back in play in the GOP's long-shot attempt to win House control in November's election. Democrats who used health care to capture the majority in 2018 are emphasizing

it anew, saying they'll shield voters from Republicans trying to tear coverage away during a pandemic. “This is as current an issue as can possibly be,� said Leslie Dach, who heads the Democratic-backed Protect Our Care Coalition. In some races, Republicans are talking up lawlessness to try stemming defections of educated, moderate suburban voters from the GOP, spurred by aversion to President Donald Trump. But even where Republican candidates promote themes such as rebuilding the economy, Trump’s blunt-force ads and his tweets on law and order have kept it in the forefront. “If I don’t win, America’s Suburbs will be OVERRUN with Low Income Projects, Anarchists, Agitators, Looters and, of course, `Friendly Protesters,'� he tweeted recently. Wagner has voted for bills that would have ended the coverage that former President Barack Obama’s health care law guarantees people with preexisting conditions. She’s introduced bills to protect such coverage, her campaign says. Schupp has said she opposes defunding police, a far-left call

to restructure and even cut police agencies that many Democrats reject. She's been backed by Indivisible, a progressive group that supports the proposal. Each party says their messaging is poll-tested and will work. Public safety and police defunding are “an increasingly significant and powerful issue� in suburbs, said Dan Conston, president of the Congressional Leadership Fund. Conston, whose group is aligned with House GOP leaders, said with health care, Democrats are betting “their tired, dated arguments will work.� “Health care is the number one issue that people care about,� counters Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., who heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, House Democrats' campaign arm. She says Democrats are “on the right side� on law and order, supporting peaceful marchers but denouncing “people who are burning buildings.� So far, public polling offers scant evidence that the GOP's law and order arguments have taken hold. A Monmouth University Poll this month showed voters

nationally trust Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden slightly more than Trump to maintain law and order. It also found just 13 percent say it's highly likely that integrating suburbs would worsen crime and harm property values. A September survey by The New York Times and Siena College found that while majorities in swing states Wisconsin and Minnesota called lawlessness a major U.S. problem, few considered it a primary concern at home. Republicans say they've detected growing support on the issue since last month's violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after police shot a Black man. This summer's racial justice protests have been largely peaceful, but images of violent ones have received widespread attention. Defunding police “is an absolute loser with suburban voters,� said GOP consultant Liesl Hickey. She said the issue is a twofer because it “plays into the bigger fear of what they see as the radical left." Still, Republicans say they must use the theme carefully. “I think Democrats are vul-

nerable to it," said Sam Geduldig, who advised former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “But the harder you go on it, the more it turns off some of those wealthy suburban voters in some districts we need." In 31 House races where Democrats have aired ads and Bustos’ organization is helping them, spots in 28 contests make health care arguments, according to committee figures. One attacks Republican Nick Freitas, challenging Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger outside Richmond, Virginia. It criticizes him for accepting insurance company contributions and favoring repeal of Obama's health care law, even when the pandemic means “Virginians couldn't be more in need� of coverage. Freitas has said he thinks government intrusion into health care doesn't help. Democrats have run health care themed ads against Republicans in numerous states including Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and Texas. According to data from the adtracking company Kantar/CMAG, Biden’s campaign has run a spot in around

30 states. In it, he promises to protect people's coverage “the same way I would my own.� So far, Republicans have used law and order themes more selectively, including in New York and Nebraska. In Michigan, GOP Rep. Fred Upton has run a spot criticizing Democratic opponent Jon Hoadley, a state lawmaker who opposed a resolution urging local governments to not defund police departments. “The political extremists have gone too far,� the ad says as protesters smash storefronts. On his campaign website, Hoadley says he favors changes such as training officers to avoid racial bias. In a coastal district south of Los Angeles, Republican challenger Michelle Steel has talked about taxes, while Democratic Rep. Harley Rouda has focused on health care and prescription drug costs. Recent Trump ads have largely emphasized restoring the economy, not blazing buildings. Many House GOP ads also use other issues, accusing Democrats of backing tax increases and linking them to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a favorite foil. Even so, according to Kantar/CMAG, one Trump campaign spot that's run this month in a half-dozen states accuses Biden of wanting to defund the police. “The radical left has taken over Joe Biden,� the announcer says as protesters batter windows. It adds, “Don't let them take over America.� Biden has repeatedly said he opposes defunding the police.

St. Louis Already Topped Homicide Total For All Of Last Year

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The number of homicides in St. Louis has already topped last year's 194 killings, putting the city on track to have a notably high homicide rate. St. Louis has seen a huge spike in homicides since June, despite numerous efforts to curb the violence. During June, July and August, 114 homicides were reported in the city, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. “Since June 1, our numbers began to rise at the alarming rate,� said police Lt. Scott Aubuchon, the homicide unit’s commander since 2018. “We’ve never seen anything like the last three months. These are indescribable times.� St. Louis typically averages 50 homicides in the last four months of the year. If that projection holds true, the city will see about 240 homicides in 2020, which would be the highest number in 25 years. The highest number of killings in a single year in St. Louis was 267 in 1993, which gave the city a homicide rate of 69 per 100,000 peo-

ple. Because the city of St. Louis has lost population, this year's homicide rate is projected to be 79 per 100,000 residents. By comparison, Cincinnati, which has a similar-sized population to St. Louis, had a homicide rate last year of 24 per 100,000 residents, according to FBI statistics. Another similarsized city, Pittsburgh, had a homicide rate of 12 per 100,000. Officials say it is difficult to determine what is behind the increase in violence in St. Louis partly because most of the homicides in the city remain unsolved. Aubuchon said there has been a variety of motives in the killings that have been solved. “It’s important to remember that behind these numbers are real lives,� St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson said in a statement. “Someone’s daughter, son, father, mother, brother, sister. And as a city, we care deeply about them and their families who’ve been devastated by this senseless violence."

this has just been between my hubby and me. My mother-inlaw has never discussed the issue of her moving as she ages, and she seems quite happy and content where she is now. Though I believe that would drastically change if my husband and I move. My mother-in-law is a good and caring person, but I finally want to cut the apron strings. I want my privacy back for our senior years -- and for my husband and his mother to ask my opinion on things. Am I being selfish? What should I do? -Ask for My Opinion, Please Dear Ask for My Opinion: Healthy marriages have two key ingredients: communication and compromise. Clearly, your mother-in-law is very important to your husband. Be honest with him and say that you love his mother but that she should not just stop by unannounced. You can express to him that there is something really nice about a son who respects his mother and wants to take care of her, especially since she is widowed. But then tell him that there is also something nice about a husband who listens to his

Dear Annie: My mother-inlaw is a widow and lives next door to my husband and me. I have never felt like we had privacy, as she would walk over whenever she felt like it and visit without calling first. Even when we were newly married, she would just walk over to our house without reaching out beforehand. My parents always told me to never live next door to your in-laws; it would only cause trouble in my marriage and I would not have privacy. However, when I married my hubby, he was already living next door to his parents, both in very nice homes. Now, don't get me wrong, she is a very nice person. Yet, my husband and I would someday like to move and build a new home in our area. The problem is that my husband, without even asking my opinion, has said that when we build our house, he will put on an in-law apartment for her. He acts as if it is just a matter of fact that this will happen. He can be stubborn and set in his ways. We have not discussed this subject with my mother-in-law;

wife's wishes and respects the privacy and intimacy of their marriage, which is between just the two -- not the three -- of you. If your husband is set on having your mother-in-law law live next door, be clear about your boundaries. As for his building an apartment for her on your new house, that might depend on whether your boundaries are respected. Dear Annie: Some years ago, I started taking birth control pills and began crying at any sad thing, such as an article in the paper with news of someone I didn't even know. This was unlike my normally happy nature. I stopped taking the pills and immediately cheered up. Maybe this will help "Deeply Depressed," although I will add that there's a lot to cry about in our news today. -- No More Pill Dear No More Pill: I'm happy that you cheered up. Everyone's body is different, and we all react to different medications individually. I'm printing your letter because it highlights a very important message: If something doesn't feel right for your body, then listen to that intuition and take action by talking with your doctor to find the right treatment. Our bodies are filled with knowledge. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut said he expects Walgreens to avoid repurchases at least until the final quarter of 2021. Walgreens estimates that the virus wiped out up to $750 million in sales in the quarter that ended May 31. That contributed to a loss topping $1.7 billion — easily the company’s worst quarter since Walgreens and Alliance Boots combined in 2014. Its stock is trading near eight-year lows and has fallen more than 35% this year. Drugstore prescription sales are also falling for Walgreens competitor CVS. But CVS has a health insurance business that has helped offset that so far.

Walgreens Boots Alliance faces a long-haul recovery from COVID-19. New prescriptions have fallen as the disease spread and customers avoided doctors’ offices. Sales of profitable beauty products also fell. The suburban Chicago-based drugstore chain’s U.K. stores were hit particularly hard. Recovery there could take up to two years, according to Mizuho Securities USA analyst Ann Hynes. Hynes recently lowered forecasts for Walgreens’ earnings per share through fiscal 2022. EPS growth could also suffer if the company halts share buybacks to preserve cash.
