There are now seven Grundy County deaths in which COVID-19 have played a role, according to information provided by the Grundy County Health Department. The health department reported that the number of deaths as of Monday increased by five since the last report published by the Republican-Times in its Friday edition. Other Monday numbers show a total of 233 positive COVID cases reported since testing began, with 58 cases currently active. Of those active cases, 47 are listed as probable, meaning the probable cases 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. The active numbers reported on Monday (55) are up by five from the numbers reported Thursday (53). Six new cases were added over the weekend. Grundy County has seen its total COVID numbers rise by 205 in just over one month, with only 28 positive cases reported on Aug. 10. There were just four active cases at that time. Grundy County reported its first two positive cases on May 21. Area counties and their totals include Sullivan, 210 (27 See COVID, Page 6

Nominee Faces Senate Hearing

Barrett Could Be Ginsberg Polar Opposite WASHINGTON (AP) — Amy Coney Barrett paid homage to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her White House speech Saturday as a shatterer of glass ceilings. She said she would be mindful of the woman whose place she would take on the Supreme Court. She even commented that her children think their father is the better cook, much as Ginsburg used to talk about her husband's prowess in the kitchen. But the replacement of the liberal icon Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the high court, by Barrett, who would be the fifth, would represent the most dramatic ideological change on the Supreme Court in nearly 30 years and cement conservative dominance of the court for years to come. Barrett, a judge on the federal appeals court based in Chicago, made clear in her Rose Garden address that she looks to conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom she once worked, and not Ginsburg, on matters of law. “His judicial philosophy is mine, too. Judges must apply the law as written. Judges are not policy makers,” Barrett said. She was referring to their common method of interpreting laws

and the Constitution based on what they were understood to mean when they were written. Ginsburg, who died this month at age 87, and Scalia were dear friends, but they were on opposite sides of the most divisive issues of the day. Barrett's conservative judicial record, her writings and speeches suggest that she too would be Ginsburg's polar opposite on a range of issues that include abortion and guns. Barrett has cast votes suggesting she would uphold state abortion restrictions that Ginsburg found violated the Constitution. Barrett also favors a more expansive interpretation of gun rights. Ginsburg believed deeply that the Constitution protects a woman's right to an abortion. She was a firm opponent of a broad reading of the constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.” The differences don't stop there. Barrett has been critical of Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion upholding the Affordable Care Act, which is again facing a constitutional challenge at the Supreme Court. Ginsburg was one of five votes that saved the law on two prior occasions. If Barrett is confirmed before the Nov. 3 elec-

National Weather Service

Sunny and chilly days are in the forecast this week. We’ll have starry skies at night with lows dipping into the high 30s and low 40s. The high at Trenton on Thursday, Sept. 25 was 81, Friday’s high was 86 and Saturday’s high was 88. The high on Sunday was 74, with a low of 51 and .85 of an inch of rain. The high on Sunday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 64, the low was 46, with .49 of an inch of rain.

tion, she would get a chance to weigh in on the latest lawsuit to overturn Obamacare, which is set for arguments a week later. The contrast between Ginsburg and Barrett most resembles the differences between Justice Thurgood Marshall and the man who replaced him in 1991, Justice Clarence Thomas. Marshall was part of the majority in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that declared a nationwide right to abortion. In his first year on the court, Thomas joined a dissenting opinion arguing that Roe should be overturned. Marshall was a firm supporter of affirmative action programs in education and a fervent opponent of the death penalty. Thomas holds opposing views on both issues. The backgrounds of Barrett and Ginsburg also are very different. Barrett is a Catholic from New Orleans. The Brooklyn-born Ginsburg was Jewish. Barrett had the chance to serve as a Supreme Court clerk. Ginsburg was able to secure a clerkship with a lower-court judge only after the intervention of a law school professor. But they both taught at law schools and became appeals court judges in their mid- to late-

40s. The both focused on procedural and technical legal issues in their scholarship. The debate over Barrett's confirmation already is raging, with one focus on gun rights. Ginsburg was not part of the majority in the Supreme Court’s two major gun rights decisions in 2008 and 2010. But the court had been reluctant to take on big new cases involving gun restrictions. Barrett’s ascension to the Supreme Court could give gun rights advocates the vote they need to bring the issue back to the court in the near future. Both her supporters and detractors have pointed to her 2019 dissent in which she argued that federal and Wisconsin laws prohibiting someone convicted of a serious crime from owning a gun should not necessarily apply if the conviction was for a nonviolent crime. The two judges in the majority agreed with Trump administration arguments that the defendant, Rickey Kanter, could not own a gun. Barrett wrote that “while both Wisconsin and the United States have an unquestionably strong in-

There were penalties, defensive breakdowns and more than enough mental errors on Friday at C.F. Russell Stadium as the Trenton High School football team looked the part of a group that has spent the past two weeks practicing social distancing. The Bulldogs ventured out of quarantine for homecoming all the same, however, and stumbled to a predictable result – a 43-6 loss to the Milan Wildcats, the fourth-ranked Class 1 school in the state. Milan was certainly favored, but Trenton didn’t do much to help its case. After forcing a punt on the opening possession, Trenton marched the ball to near mid-field before facing a 4th-andinches situation The Bulldogs kept the offense on the field, but a delay of game penalty backed Trenton up and forced them to punt. That miscue was the first of many on the evening. Trenton was flagged for multiple delays of game and for having 12 men on the field several times. For as many flags as the Bulldogs incurred, there were as many wasted timeouts as the play clock neared zero or as Trenton appeared confused before the snap. “That kind of stuff is on the coaches,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “It’s just not doing what you are supposed to do when you get in the huddle and not paying attention. We have got to get better at the little things. We have to do those things to get better.” On the field, Trenton’s offensive line yielded sacks in key situations. Trenton was inside the Milan 30-yard line on four different occasions, but on the first three trips Milan dialed up pressure that Trenton couldn’t contend with. Defensively, the Bulldogs failed to limit big plays as Milan scored five of its six

CALENDA AR TUE 29

touchdowns on plays of 28 yards or more. Two of those plays went for 66yard scores. “(Milan) is a physical football team,” Hixson said. “Their running backs do a good job. They do the same thing that we are trying to do - they punch you in the middle, then they hit you on the outside; they punch you in the middle, then get you on the outside. So you’re trying to figure out how to stop them inside, outside and what the deal is. They are pretty solid and balanced all the way across. I told the guys you have to stop the big play and when you are not used to winning and they hit a couple of them, it feels like it is out of reach, you know.” Trenton’s final possession did yield points, albeit against Milan’s second unit, but that was something the Bulldogs failed to accomplish in their first

two games before the quarantine. Quarterback Coleman Griffin found the end zone twice at the end of the game, but the first one was called back by a holding penalty, fitting for the night for Trenton. Griffin would score again moments later, however, carrying the ball in from 10-yards out. This one stood, but with the clock continuously running due to the nature of the Milan lead, the Bulldogs were unable to set up a pointafter play before the game ended. That left Trenton with the 43-6 loss. “We are capable,” Hixson said. “We just have to be able to do it at the varsity level, against varsity players. We play a lot of young kids and so our young guys are probably a little bit better than most JV guys, but not ready for the varsity level and we are forcing them to do that. It’s a situation where we just have to step up and play and

Trenton One Win Shy Of Victory Bulldogs Put A Scare In District Frontrunners CHILLICOTHE 5 TRENTON 4

When the Class 1, District 15 girls tennis tournament rolls around in October, the host Chillicothe Hornets will be the top-seeded team in the bracket. Trenton, however, is closing in on the Hornets. After falling to Chillicothe 7-2 earlier in the year, the Bulldogs showed just how much they have improved in the three weeks since as they pushed the Hornets to the limit on Thursday before falling 5-4. The final match of the dual saw Lydia Leininger drop the number-six singles match 9-7, further punctuating just how close Trenton was to picking up the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a hard-fought match after a full week of tennis,â&#x20AC;?

Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number-one player Lexi Gott looked every bit the part of the best player on the court, combining with Morgan Dolan for an 8-3 doubles win, then taking her singles match by an 8-1 score. Gott and Dolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win was the only one for Trenton in doubles play as Mallory Sole and Alaina Overton fell 8-4 and Emilee Lovell and Leininger lost 8-3. After Gottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singles win,

Dolan lost 8-2 at number two, but Trenton got an 8-3 win from Sole at number three and an 8-4 win from Overton at number four to go up 4-3 in the dual. Chillicothe leveled the score with an 8-4 win over Lovell at number five and Leiningerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss at number six gave the dual to Chillicothe. The loss dropped Trenton to 3-4 overall on the season. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team returns to action on Tuesday, traveling to St. Joseph to take on LeBlond at 4 p.m.

The hits kept coming on Thursday for the Trenton High School softball team. Not the kind that produce runs, either. Trenton fell 12-4 to Princeton as yet another Grand River Conference opponent avenged losses from prior seasons. This one dropped Trenton to 1-5 within the league. Gracyn Rongey was a bright spot for the Bulldogs in the loss, going 4-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Emma Roberts started in the circle and yielded just two runs, one earned, but Jenna Reeter scuffled over the next three frames, allowing 10 runs, eight earned, and was saddled with the loss.

ties for program presentations. Steve Taylor is coordinating that effort, with the first use being at the Oct. 1 meeting. The next meeting of the club will be held at noon on Thursday, Oct. 1, with the meeting being moved to the BTC Bank community room.

Card Shower

Former Trenton resident, 25-year-old Maria Stevenson, was recently diagnosed with Triple Positive Breast Cancer. The chemo treatments she will be taking will almost certainly take away the ability for her to have children, which is a dream of hers and her future husband, Frank. Maria will be working with a fertility clinic to remove and freeze an ovary to hopefully increase the chances of having children. She will also be undergoing a bilateral mastectomy, after she has chemotherapy treatments. A card shower has been requested for her, with cards being sent to 106 Reading Ave., St. Louis, MO 63043. There is also a GoFundMe account set up under the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help Maria and Frankâ&#x20AC;?, to assist with the many expenses they are going to incur. Maria is the daughter of Laurie Stevenson and Bill Stevenson, both of Trenton.

ers are injured and hundreds more are killed in farming accidents. If we all take a little time out of our day to be more careful and safety-minded, we can save lives. That means a few more Thanksgivings, a few more Christmases, and yes, a few more harvests with the ones we love. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more time on the farm with my grandchildren and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth more than gold. Farming is a way of life for many in north Missouri. Protecting our way of life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just relegated to legislation. Everyone can do their part to make sure that our farmers can go home at night, no matter how late into the evening it may be during harvest. Stay safe this year and happy harvest!

Dear Annie: Recently, an old friend got back in touch with me. He had gotten a divorce, and I wanted to be a friend to him because he was going through a lot of grieving. His exwife had alcohol issues and was abusing her bipolar medication. She also, prior to their marriage falling apart, got gastric bypass surgery and, after the procedure, began having extramarital affairs. He caught them and found out who one of them was one day. The situation came to a head when she came home drunk and barely could speak. There was a big fight, and he put her in rehab. This led to their divorce. Then, when she got out, she looked up an old boyfriend and ran to live with him. When that relationship fell apart, she went back home to her parents, only to start dating a guy she met in Alcoholics Anonymous. They quickly married, and that marriage only lasted a year and a month. One day, I saw on social media that my friend was beginning to talk to his ex again, and before I knew it, he was back in her life. I was shocked because we had talked at great length

about everything and how he hated her. Even more upsetting is that, during the time we were talking, my friend had to go on dialysis for kidney failure. I thought for sure that, if anything, he would choose to move closer to his family in New Jersey, but instead, he has moved in with his ex-mother-in-law, and his ex-wife lives there. He says he is planning on saving money to make a life there. I really don't know what to believe. She said she accidentally read one of my text messages to him -- yeah, right; wasn't born yesterday -- and that their relationship now is about kindness and forgiveness. She lies about everything on social media. She talks about dying to be thin and likes to make a spectacle of her lost weight and how she lost too much, but then will post other pictures saying she looks good for 55. She says she's always been a good mother, but she ran around for the last five years without being much of a mother. My friend says he won't leave Florida because his boys live there. They are like 31, 29 and 27 -- big boys who certainly can take care of themselves. I just have been in such shock over all

of this that I had to leave the friendship. It just seems too codependent on his behalf, and she is somewhat of a narcissist. She lives for attention yet doesn't have a good opinion of herself. She lies about the truth, but that could be part of her illness - who knows? Do you think this is normal, and how would you have handled this if this was your friend? -- Just Don't Get It Dear Just Don't Get It: "Normal" is defined in the dictionary as conforming to a typical standard. No, this is not normal behavior, but I use that word with caution. He clearly loves his ex-wife and is having a difficult time letting her go. If she really has changed and is sober, if they have gone to marriage counseling and he has forgiven her, then I'm not here to judge his decision as not normal, and you shouldn't be either. In fact, I commend him. The disease of alcoholism can ruin families and cause all sorts of terrible behavior. He was looking to you to be a friend when he was dealing with a difficult time. I also respect his decision to want to be close to his adult children. Although they are grown and can take care of themselves, that doesn't mean he can't be close to them as friends now. If I were you, I might take a look at myself and see why I judged him and his ex-wife so harshly.

China surplus record The politically volatile Chinese trade surplus that helped to spark a tariff war with Washington is on track to set a global record this year. Exports are surging, boosted by demand for Chinese-made face masks and other medical supplies. Factories that reopened in March after the Communist Party declared victory over the coronavirus are taking market share from foreign competitors that are hampered by anti-disease controls. May’s trade gap surged to a high of $62.9 billion, equal to an eye-popping 0.7% of global economic output. Forecasters expected exports to weaken as

demand for medical supplies cooled. But the surplus stuck at $62.3 billion in July and $58.9 billion in August. China is buying more oil and some other goods but August imports were off 2% by value due to slumping prices. That means most other countries aren’t benefiting from China’s revival. In a trade truce signed with Washington in January, Beijing promised to narrow its surplus with the United States by purchasing more soybeans and other goods. But that was disrupted by the pandemic. The gap swelled from $21 billion in April to $34.3 billion in August. China trade surplus
