Volleyball Team Latest Virus Victim As COVID-19 numbers continue to climb, the Trenton High School volleyball team has been hit with a positive case and, as a result, the entire player roster and coaching staff have been quarantined. According to a news release from Trenton R-9 Athletic Director John Cowling, one high school player has tested positive for the virus. Missouri State High School Activities Association rules require all players on the volleyball team roster, along with the coaching staff, be quarantined from the point of last contact with the positive case. Cowling said the Grundy County Health Department and R-9 School District

will be conducting a close contact investigation and any students or adults determined to be close contacts with the affected individual will be notified by either the health department or school district. “Even though we have taken precautionary measures in order for our volleyball program to be successful and stay healthy, situations like this are inevitable and we are now faced with a positive case on our team,” the news release stated. Cowling said the district is asking parents to monitor their child for COVID symptoms, which include loss of taste or smell, shortness of breath or difficulty

in breathing, coughing, congestion or a runny nose, headaches, a sore throat, a fever of more than 100.4, chills, fatigue, muscle or body aches, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea. Should symptoms appear, parents are being asked to contact their family doctor. The district will be in contact with all schools on the volleyball schedule between now and the player’s return date of Sept. 16 in an attempt to reschedule contests miss during this period. Announcements will be made as the situation moves forward. See COVID, Page 4

In Battleground States

Rejection Of Absentee Ballots Could Triple ATLANTA (AP) — Thousands of absentee ballots get rejected in every presidential election. This year, that problem could be much worse and potentially pivotal in hotly contested battleground states. With the coronavirus creating a surge in mailin balloting and postal delays reported across the country, the number of rejected ballots in November is projected to be significantly higher than previous elections. If ballots are rejected at the same rate as during this year's primaries, up to three times as many voters in November could be disenfranchised in key battleground states when compared to the last presidential election, according to an Associated Press analysis of rejected ballots. It could be even more pronounced in some urban areas where Democratic votes are concentrated and ballot rejection rates trended higher during this year’s primaries. “It is the number one thing that keeps me up at night — the idea that voters will do everything they can to ensure their ballot is returned on time and the system will still fail them,” said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Ballot rejections occur even under the best of circumstances. They go uncounted because they arrived too late in the mail, voters forgot to sign them or signatures didn't match the one on file at local election offices. Those problems could be compounded this year as millions of voters cast mail-in ballots for the first time because of election changes forced

by the coronavirus. Large numbers of uncounted ballots could be used to sow doubts about the election; President Donald Trump has been claiming for months without evidence that widespread mail-in voting will lead to fraud. The sudden leap is worrisome: 22 states are going from absentee ballots comprising less than 10% of all ballots four years ago to perhaps half or more this November. Pennsylvania is among them: Nearly 51% of all votes cast during its June primary were mail-in. If voter turnout is the same as 2016 and the ballot rejection rate equals the 1.4% from this year’s primary, nearly 43,000 voters in Pennsylvania could be disenfranchised this fall, according to AP’s analysis. That's almost the same number of votes by which Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state four years ago, when some 2,100 ballots were rejected. In Philadelphia, a far higher percentage of absentee ballots cast in June were rejected — 3.9%. Most of those arrived too late to be counted, even though Gov. Tom Wolf extended the deadline by a week. Amy Campbell, a 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania medical student, had her ballot rejected for another reason: a missing signature. Campbell is upset she didn’t have a chance to fix her ballot. She received an email two days after the vote count ended telling her officials “couldn’t obtain (her) required signature.” See Election, Page 4

Missouri Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn was in Trenton on Thursday night, Sept. 3 to address members of the Grundy County Farm Bureau at their annual meeting. Ms. Chinn talked about the state response to the COVID-19 pandemic as it related to agriculture, specifically addressing measures taken to assure the state’s food supply remained stable. She also visited about federal CARES Act funding distributed to the Department of Agriculture which the state is using for broadband expansion in rural areas (including libraries and telehealth), K-12 distance learning, higher education and grants to meat and poultry processors which are designed to increase food supply capabilities in the state. She addressed changes to the Missouri State Fair, which this year featured youth livestock shows. During the business meeting, it was announced that Jane Cotton was the recipient of a Century Farm designation and that a minigrant had been awarded to the Trenton R-9 FACS program. Election of officers and board members was postponed due to a lack of quorum to conduct official business. Grundy County Farm Bureau Board Vice President Carl Woodard presided at the meeting in the absence of local president David Meservey.

New Officers Elected Officers for the Foundation Trust for Trenton High School/Trenton Alumni Association were elected at the annual board meeting on Sunday, Sept. 6. Dr. John Holcomb was reelected president with Kevin Bailey chosen as vice-president. Also re-elected were secretary Steve Maxey and treasurer Katie Kinney. Members set Nov. 8 for the all-alumni planning meeting. This is an earlier date than normal to allow classes to plan for the 2021 reunion. It is anticipated there will be a much larger reunion celebration than normal in 2021 due to cancellations this year, with several classes planning to re-schedule their reunions for next year along with the regularlyscheduled class celebration. Classes hosting celebrations next year are encouraged to begin to book venues and caterers due to larger reunion events anticipated next year. Board members voted to contribute $1,300 to the Trenton High School graphic design class, which is launching a multi-year project to recognize alums of THS in numerous pictorial collages being placed in the halls of the high school. THS Principal Kasey Bailey reported the effort will recognize alums of all ages in a way to show pride as a THS graduate. The project will carry over for several years as collages are placed throughout the hallways. Additional details will be announced shortly to generate pictures for use by the graphic design class. Dr. Holcomb announced See Alumni, Page 4

streak against the Bulldogs. Regardless, Hixson feels like a familiar opponent will be a good thing for Trenton, though. “We have an opportunity to play a team we are a little more familiar with,” Hixson said. “We hadn’t played Brookfield in a long time. We had never seen East Buchanan other than on film, so we didn’t really know what to expect. But, we didn’t get intimidated and we stuck to our guns. I think we are capable of playing a lot more aggressive than we did tonight, it’s just a process. I need to be a little more patient and work through the process with them. We are going to get there.” The Bulldogs and Tigers kick off from Eddie Allen Field at 7 p.m. this Friday.

Trenton Improves, But Offense Still Lost In 35-0 Defeat

On the surface, the Trenton High School football team’s 35-0 loss at East Buchanan on Friday night didn’t do much to change the narrative surrounding the Bulldogs in 2020. The defeat, after all, marked two straight weeks in which Trenton has failed to score a point. It pushed Trenton to 0-2 overall on the season and the Bulldogs have now been outscored 85-0 through two weeks of play. It is not good. But, scratch the surface of the contest in Gower, and there is plenty to be gleaned from a seemingly brutal night. Because of the fact that Friday night’s 35-0 loss came on the heels of a 50-0 defeat in week 1, it was technically an improvement. But beyond that, Trenton looked the part of an improved team. The defense, though suspect at times, was a bright spot. A rushing attack that only found its legs after two sophomores and a freshman took charge created encouragement for the future of the program. There were no turnovers for Trenton a week after giving the ball away four times in the season opener. “We had a pretty physical week of practice and there wasn’t a guy who watched film (from week 1) that wasn’t disappointed in their effort, in their performance,” Trenton coach Kevin Hixson said. “So that was kind of their goal this week (to improve). I thought we would be able to move the ball a little bit better than we

did, but we had some young guys do some good things and give us something to build on. Our effort, overall, was much better. We were more physical on defense, had a couple of three-and-outs. It is what it is and we are going to build on from there.” East Buchanan scored what could be considered the gamewinning touchdown on the opening drive of the contest and it didn’t take long. Just 40 seconds after kickoff, East Buchanan capped a five-play scoring drive with a one-yard touchdown run from Cru Conaway. But things changed after that opening drive. Trenton forced

a three-and-out on the host school’s next offensive possession and on East Buchanan’s third go, Trenton used a quarterback sack from Royce Jackson and a few penalties on the home school to chase its offense off the field with a fourth-down stop. Though struggling to move the ball consistently on Trenton, East Buchanan was able to hit on a couple of big plays in the second quarter to take a 210 lead into halftime. It was not an ideal deficit, however, with last week’s 44-0 first-half tally still fresh in their minds, Trenton couldn’t complain too much going into the locker room trailing by just three

scores. Two more scores in the third quarter would give the game its final tally as the clock ran continuously in the fourth quarter. The offense continues to be a real problem for Trenton. At halftime, the Bulldogs had accumulated 13 passing yards, but lost 13 yards rushing, thanks largely to four sacks yielded by the offensive line. Trenton would finish the game with 62 rushing yards, though, 28 of which came on back-toback 14-yard gainers from freshman running back Gabe Novak and sophomore quarterback Coleman Griffin. Those two, along with Sam Gibson,

who saw the bulk of the carries from the fullback position, were a reason for hope for the offense going forward. “With Coleman, we have that (bootleg play) in, but we haven’t really done a lot with it in practice,” Hixson said. “But they knew it was there and (Griffin) did a great job with it. Sam ran hard. I was really pleased with our effort, our young kids did a great job. We jumped offsides a couple of times on defense, but we have some freshmen up there. We will get better. Every week we just have to get a little bit better and a little bit better.” Gibson was thrust into somewhat of a feature back role because Payden McCullough, who normally splits time at the position, was moved to tight end after Jackson went down with an injury Coach Hixson described as a hyper-extended knee. Jackson is not expected to miss any games due to the injury. “It’s just a little hyper-extension on the knee,” Hixson said. “It’s just a little tender. A guy kind of came in on a block and just kind of took his knee out and hyper-extended it. He will be back next week. We will treat it the next couple of days and he might have to have a day off or something, but he will be fine.” After two straight shutout losses, Trenton will embark in Grand River Conference play in week 3 with a road trip to Princeton to face the 1-1 Tigers.

GRC Foes Get The Best Of Trenton Stranglehold Over League Firmly In The Past For â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dogs PUTNAM CO. 6 TRENTON 4 MAYSVILLE 12 TRENTON 2 (6 INNS.) POWER POINTS OFFICIAL RULES

For the first three years the Trenton Bulldogs competed within the Grand River Conference they were untouchable. Trenton won nearly every game via a run rule and rarely, if ever, allowed a conference opponent to even score a run. But times change, players graduate, rosters roll over. The Trenton Bulldogs are not the team that placed second in the state two years ago. In fact, only two players who started in that championship game are still in the lineup this year. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GRC opponents are making up for lost time. The Bulldogs dropped their first two conference games of the year, falling 12-2 in six innings to Maysville on Thursday, and 6-4 to Putnam County on Saturday. vs. Maysville Maysville won a Class 1 state title in 2018 and placed third in the state a year ago. In each of the two state final four seasons, Maysville fell to Trenton in GRC play. The Wolverines finally broke the streak on Thursday, picking up a run-rule victory over Trenton. The Bulldogs allowed a solo home run to Maysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sadie Smith in the first inning and the Wolverines tacked on two more in the second. It was a five-run third inning that was a backbreaker for Trenton, however. The Bulldogs kept Maysville off the board over

the next two frames, plating a run in both the fourth and fifth innings to cut the deficit to 82. But Maysville broke loose in the bottom of the sixth, scoring four runs to walk off the game by the 10-run rule. Trenton got a solo home run from Chandler Lynch, her first of the season, and Shay Westerhof drove in Teya Cooksey for the Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only other run. Cooksey had the only multi-hit game for Trenton, collecting two singles. Emma Roberts started in the circle and took the loss, allowing eight runs, six earned, on seven hits and a walk while striking out one in two and two-thirds innings. Jenna Reeter took the ball in the third and finished the game, throwing two and two-thirds innings as well. She allowed four runs on two hits, none of which were earned, and four walks while also striking out one. vs. Putnam County Putnam County was the only team in the GRC to have beaten Trenton prior to Maysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over the Bulldogs on Thursday. The Midgets did so last year en route to a GRC championship season.

On Saturday the Midgets made it two in a row over the Bulldogs with their 6-4 win. Had it not been for a fourrun first inning by the Midgets, Trenton might have been in the win column in conference play. Trenton couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome the slow start, though, and the Bulldogs were left two runs short when their seventh inning rally was stopped. The Bulldogs collected just five hits in the loss with Ivy Foster having the only multihit game with a pair of knocks. Gracyn Rongey had a double and an RBI and Cooksey drove in a run as well. Reeter took the loss in the circle, allowing five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one in two innings. Roberts threw the final five frames, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out three. With the two losses, Trenton fell to 1-3 overall and 0-2 in GRC action. Trenton looked to get back into the win column on Tuesday, playing host to Princeton. The Bulldogs will be at Gallatin on Thursday. First pitch is at 5:30 p.m.

Bulldogs Fall Behind Early, Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Recover Against Chilli

It was a tough senior night for the Trenton High School volleyball team as Chillicothe came to town and handed the Bulldogs a 25-12, 25-14, 25-12 loss on Thursday, Sept. 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out flat-footed and let Chillicothe get ahead, so we were a half step slow on plays,â&#x20AC;? Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found that it is more challenging to play from behind. We are working together as a team to make progress. We have talented players, we just have to get over the hump.â&#x20AC;? Trenton got two kills from Evy McCullough and a kill and six digs from Makenzee Epperson. Olivia Roberts had a kill and four digs, Kenzie Yuille added 10 digs, Ava Simpson had five assists and Jessa Shipley tallied six digs. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team is on the shelf for at least two weeks after a positive COVID-19 test on the roster. The earliest possible return match would be on Sept. 17 at Kirksville.

Tennis Team Dealt Loss In Savannah Overton Leads Trenton With Two Victories In Defeat SAVANNAH 7 TRENTON 2 The Trenton High School tennis team was handed a loss in its first official dual of the season on Thursday, falling 72 on the road in Savannah. Trenton led Carrollton 3-0 on Tuesday when rain postponed that dual to a Sept. 15

conclusion. The highlight of Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dual was Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numberfour player, Alaina Overton, who secured wins in both her singles and doubles matches to account for both Trenton points. Overton picked up an 8-6 win in her singles match after pairing with Mallory Sole for an 8-4 win earlier. The doubles teams of Lexi Gott and Morgan Dolan and Emilee Lovell and Harley Hall each fell 8-1 as the Savages took a 2-1 lead into singles play. Gott fell 8-4 at number one and Dolan was defeated 82 at number two. Sole lost 8-1

at number three before Overton secured Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only singles win. Lovell and Hall lost 8-2 and 8-3, respectively, to round out the dual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight was a loss that will make us better,â&#x20AC;? Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior varsity won 2-1. Lydia Leininger and Jessika Kennedy and Chloe Hall and Faith Lee each combined for 6-3 doubles wins while Lindsey Babcock and Kennedy lost 6-3. Trenton was at Chillicothe on Monday, at Leblond on Tuesday and hosts Cameron at 4 p.m. on Thursday.

PDQ Supports Excellence in Education in the Green Hills! Five Hurt In Area Accidents Five individuals received injuries in three area accidents investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol over the weekend. One of those accidents was on Saturday night in Grundy County. The patrol reported Tanner Schmidt, 18 of St. Joseph was taken to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton for treatment of serious injuries. He was the driver of a car that was southbound on NW 22nd Avenue, one and one-half miles north of Trenton, when the car slid on the gravel and travelled off the east side of the road. The car overturned, coming to rest on its wheels. Schmidt, who was transported to the hospital by the Grundy County Ambulance Service, was wearing a seat belt. The vehicle was demolished. The accident was investigated by Trooper K.J. Cool, who was assisted by Sgt. Doug Little, Trooper J.E. Hainey and the Grundy County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. Two Des Moines, IA residents were injured in a UTV accident in Mercer County on Friday night.

She also failed to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge of failing to maintain financial responsibility for a vehicle and was scheduled to be in court Tuesday, Sept. 8 on that charge.

COVID

COVID-related death since testing began. According to the state COVID-19 dashboard, which reports statewide case numbers, Grundy County has the second highest percentage increase of new cases over a seven-day period at 69 percent (as of Sunday). Other area counties and their totals include Livingston, 338 (includes numbers from the Chillicothe Correctional Center); Sullivan, 178 (9 active); Harrison, 94 (27 active, 1 death); Linn, 94 (18 active, 2 deaths); Caldwell, 59 (6 active, 2 death); Daviess, 37 (1 active); Putnam, 28 (3 active, 1 death); and Mercer, 25.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this issue and work to minimize the impact of this situation with all of our students,â&#x20AC;? Cowling said. As of Monday morning, Grundy County had 51 active cases as well as eight probable cases, bringing the total number of positive cases reported since testing started to 102. This is an increase of 33 cases since the last report received by the Republican-Times on Thursday morning Sept. 3. Active cases are up by 13 while probable cases are up by eight. The county has also had one

why it did. Vote-by-mail rejections could be of special concern to Democrats, who have seen a surge in absentee ballot applications this year. In Pennsylvania, for example, more than twice as many Democrats as Republicans voted by mail in the June primary. Only 21 states have defined procedures for notifying voters

if absentee ballots are rejected so they have a chance to fix it. For its analysis, the AP also collected absentee ballot data from Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Based on the percentage of those ballots cast in each state's primary this year, between 185,000 and 292,000 voters in the seven states examined could be disenfranchised if Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turnout matches that of four years ago and the rejection rate remains flat. That compares to nearly 87,000 ballots rejected in those states in 2016. The ballot rejections could be pivotal in close races. In 2016, Trump won Wisconsin by roughly 23,000 votes. Reasons for rejection can vary. In a few states, a witness

or notary must sign the ballot envelope for the ballot to be valid. Where ballots received after Election Day are counted, a legible postmark from that day is generally required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be a lot of people who are voting this way for the first time, and they tend to make the errors that lead to lost votes,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Norden, an elections expert with the Brennan Center for Justice. New, young, Black and Hispanic voters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who tend to favor Democratic candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are disproportionately affected, according to research by University of Florida political scientist Daniel Smith. All have had absentee ballots rejected at higher rates than white and more experienced mail-in voters.

HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov

TAKING TIME TO PROPERLY ADDRESS CRIME Missouri senators are making their way back to Jefferson City for the second time in a month. Back in July, the governor asked lawmakers to come back to the Capitol to pass legislation aimed at curbing violent crime in our state. Since then, senators spent time crafting, discussing and passing Senate Bill 1, a comprehensive approach to violent crime that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in my opinion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not only addressed the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns, but also looked at differences between urban and rural Missouri without heavy-handedly favoring one over the other. By early August, after its passage in the Senate, SB 1 moved to the Missouri House of Representatives. The governor then added an element to his call for this extraordinary session, which lead the House to scrap what we had done and put forth new measures, each tailored to meet the requirements of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call. Now, they have finished their work and the proverbial ball is back in our court. Missouri senators are now looking at House Bill 2, which re-

Mr.

lates to the admissibility of certain witness statements; House Bill 11, which would modify firstdegree child endangerment offenses; House Bill 16, which seeks to make changes to unlawful weapons transfer laws, in relation to minors; House Bill 46, which would change residency requirements for St. Louis police officers; and House Bill 66, which would create the "Pretrial Witness Protection Services Fund." Some of the language in these measures mirrors what we have already passed, while some will be new. Our job will be to cull through these bills, hear what people have to say about them and make a decision from there. By law, an extra session can last as long as 60 days. Session started on July 27. As I have written here before, these are not easy decisions to make. The people affected by these crimes want answers, they want justice and they want solutions. Our job in the Missouri Legislature is to provide them with the tools to accomplish these goals. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

ELK CREEK, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Invasive plants can turn a grassy habitat for turkeys and quail into an overgrown thicket, so officials with the Mark Twain National Forest have turned to a decidedly low-tech way to manage them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; goats. Brian Davidson, who manages the botany and invasive species program at the forest, told KCUR that plants such as blackberries and kudzu compete for nutrients with grassy habitat. "And then they push out and eliminate a lot of the desirable native species that we have,â&#x20AC;? Davidson said.

But removing the invasive plants can be expensive and even harmful to the environment in the forest, which covers three million acres across southern Missouri. Loren and Elizabeth Steele of Elk Creek own up to 1,500 Spanish goats that they take to landowners looking for a natural way to eradicate unwanted vegetation. Now, they're working with the forest, at a cost to the government of $25,000. The Steeles set up a portable, solar-powered electric fence around a designated area. The goats roam and graze within that area. The couple

have been in the goat business since 2017. Despite their reputation, goats are actually picky eaters, Loren Steele said. However, they will eat many plants that other grazing animals ignore, and they don't eat a lot of grass. In just a day or two, goats can eat their way through a few acres of overgrown fields. As an added benefit, their waste â&#x20AC;&#x153;gets incorporated into the soil, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive,â&#x20AC;? Davidson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What goes in comes out, right? And all of that has a lot of nutrients.â&#x20AC;? Forest officials are consider-

ing seeing what the goats can do not just in open fields, but among the trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of native hardwoods that are encroaching and impeding pine regeneration and also not maintaining the openness,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try using goats in there to try and maintain that structure.â&#x20AC;? Loren Steele said the goats seem to enjoy their work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get shipped to a new place on a regular basis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like having a new smorgasbord on a regular basis, so yeah, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Steele said.

Dems Seek To Topple GOP State Senator From St. Louis Area ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democrats are seeking to topple a suburban St. Louis area state senator who is a founding member of a group that has backed tougher rules on abortion and other conservative issues. State Rep. Deb Lavender of Kirkwood is challenging incumbent Sen. Andrew Koenig of Manchester, in the 15th Senate District, which includes all or portions of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Fenton, Glendale, Sunset Hills, Valley Park and Wildwood, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Koenig, who is part of the upper chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservative Caucus, served eight years in the state House and won 61% of the vote in 2016 against Democratic candidate Stephen Eagleton. But Lavender is bullish about her chances, noting that nearly 62% of voters in the district supported the Medicaid expansion question that appeared on the August primary ballot, outpacing the 53% of

voters statewide who supported it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a district where people are socially progressive,â&#x20AC;? Lavender said, adding that district voters support access to abortion and more funding for public education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a good fit for this district,â&#x20AC;? she said. Casey Burns, campaign manager for Koenig, said voters have known his position â&#x20AC;&#x153;against expanding Obamacare in Missouri for nearly a decadeâ&#x20AC;? and said voters will side with Koenig, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who backs the Blue," meaning he supports police, versus Lavender, whom Burns said supports defunding the police. Lavender responded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, I do not want to defund the police and have never advocated for that." Nationwide, suburban voters delivered Democrats the U.S. House in 2018, but in Missouri, success for the party remained elusive.

Last year, in one sign voters were no longer shunning Democrats in west St. Louis County, Democrat Trish Gunby won a November special election to represent the 99th House District â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which Koenig represented until January 2017 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; defeating Republican Lee Ann Pitman by eight percentage points, 54% to 46%. Koenig, who is part of the upper chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservative Caucus, served eight years in the state House and won 61% of the vote in 2016 against Democratic candidate Stephen Eagleton., according to Missouri Ethics Commission records. Through July 23, Lavenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign had raised $544,000 and had $452,000 on hand heading into August. Koenigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign had raised more than $254,000 and had $182,000 on hand. Lavenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purple PAC had raised another $161,000, while Koenigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Promise PAC had raised more than $134,000.

Trump Looms Large Over Campaigns For Control Of Congress WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The battle for control of Congress is solidifying into a race about President Donald Trump, as Republicans hitch their fortunes to their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader and Democrats position themselves as a bulwark against him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and as partners in a potential Joe Biden White House. So far, voters are signaling they want to finish the job they started in 2018 by installing Democrats for House majority control. Now, they're on track to potentially do the same in the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president continues to overshadow and impact the races for the Senate and the House,â&#x20AC;? said Nathan Gonzales, the editor of Inside Elections, which tracks the campaigns. Usually, a president at the top of the ticket boosts his party's chances, but Trump's slump is shifting the congressional map, strategists said. House Democrats are expected to easily retain the majority, without too many losses. The Senate, now in Republican hands, could almost as easily flip to Democrats. Together, the congressional races provide a snapshot of an American electorate ahead of a voting season unlike any other. The coronavirus crisis, a shattered economy and a new civil rights era are forcing a reassessment of the way the federal government approaches longstanding problems. In a volatile political climate, health care, jobs and even what the parties are calling the soul of the nation are all on the ballot.

republican-times.com

As Democrats gain momentum, Republicans are digging in, echoing Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harsh criticism of the nationwide protests over police violence, particularly against Black people. He sounds dire warnings about the demonstrations happening in some cities. It's an opening for the GOP, an attempt to win back wary suburban voters, particularly white women, who voted for Trump in 2016 but have since drifted away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winning message,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Salera, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP's campaign arm. The NRCC used Trump's visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to unleash a flurry of attacks against vulnerable Democrats, primarily those freshmen who built the House majority in 2018 from districts the president won in 2016. One television ad claimed a Democrat was choosing â&#x20AC;&#x153;criminals over cops.â&#x20AC;? The Democratic campaigns are taking an opposite approach. As their calling card to voters, they are offering health care policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; preserving and expanding the coverage under the Affordable Care Act and strategies to end the COVID19 crisis. Ten ads released by House Democrats last week targeted Republicans who voted to repeal and replace â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamacareâ&#x20AC;? or pushed a quick economic reopening despite COVID-19 health risks. Democratic Sen-

ate candidates are taking similar cues as they appeal to voters concerned about health care access or costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna win back the Senate,â&#x20AC;? Biden told donors last week on a fundraising call. The former vice president is eyeing a handful of Senate seats he believes Democrats could wrest from Republicans, with plans to campaign in North Carolina, Georgia, Texas and other states where Republican senators are vulnerable. Two months before the election, the races are still in flux. Any boost in Trump's standing could bolster Republican chances, analysts said. Any missteps by Biden could hurt Democrats. On top of that is the uncertainty of the COVID-19 crisis, which upended campaigning. While many Republicans are following Trump's lead, holding events and meeting voters in person, Democrats are largely matching Biden's approach of avoiding health risks by holding campaign events online. A memo from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee obtained by The Associated Press said candidates should remind voters â&#x20AC;&#x153;through your actionsâ&#x20AC;? that they take the COVID-19 threat seriously. Republicans mock Democrats' virtual campaigning as hiding from voters. Republicans hold a slim 5347 majority in the Senate. That means they could afford to

lose two or three seats, while Democrats would need to pick up three or four for a working majority. If either party has 50 seats, the vice president becomes a tie breaker. While election season began with the parties on defense, protecting their incumbent senators, it has shifted to a decidedly lopsided Senate map. Only one Democrat, Sen. Doug Jones in Alabama, appears seriously at risk of defeat, running in a Deep South state where Trump is more popular than almost anywhere else. The list of potentially endangered Republican senators has only grown. Sen. Cory Gardner is running against popular former Gov. John Hickenlooper in Colorado, a state that has become more Democratic blue than toss-up purple. In battleground Arizona, Republican Sen. Martha McSally is trailing Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut. GOP Sen. Susan Collins is relying on her independent brand to try to fend off challenger Sara Gideon in Maine. Some incumbent Republican senators walk a fine line on support for Trump. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina distances himself from Trump on some issues, but pulls close on others, and he joined the president for his speech accepting the GOP nomination Lawn Work â&#x20AC;˘ Stump Grinding Brush Cutting w/Removal & More!

on the White House lawn. GOP senators in Iowa, Montana and Georgia are now facing races suddenly in play. Even in Texas, South Carolina and Kentucky, where bigname GOP senators are up for reelection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Bluegrass State, Lindsey Graham in the Palmetto State â&#x20AC;&#x201D; races are becoming costly, even if the seats are not seriously in jeopardy. In the House, Republicans face an even tougher haul. They would need to net some 19 seats to wrest control from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, a tall order in any election but especially now in the hard-fought suburban districts with Trump wobbly at the top of the ticket. Some of the Democrats elected in 2018 in places Trump won in 2016 were surprise winners, like Rep. Kendra Horn in Oklahoma City, and they are among the most vulnerable. Rep. Ben McAdams in Utah faces a

challenge from Burgess Owens, a former NFL player and Black conservative who delivered a standout speech at the GOP convention. Some freshman Democrats, though, have tried to carve out brands to steel themselves against challenges in districts where Republicans typically would win. Many of the issues once thought to define the candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the Trump impeachment votes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have dimmed against the COVID crisis. At the same time, Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to push the norms of executive power suddenly makes Congress matter not just as a legislative branch of government, but one conducting oversight. Gonzales said after GOP losses in 2018 there was an expectation that Trump atop the ticket would bring back Republican voters in 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But President Trump continues to drive Democratic energy and turnout,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Dear Annie: September is World Alzheimer's Month. More than 50 million people around the world live with dementia, and a new case is diagnosed every three seconds, according to the World Health Organization. I wanted to share some possible signs and symptoms of dementia, courtesy of the Alzheimer's Association. --Memory loss becomes disruptive to normal life. --Struggles with planning things and solving problems. --Difficulty completing familiar tasks. --Confusion with time or place. --Trouble understanding spatial relationships or images. --New problems with words. --Misplacing things in unusual places. --Poor judgment. --Withdrawal from work or social life. --Mood swings or personality changes. If you or a loved one is experiencing any one of the above, don't ignore it and don't delay talking to your doctor about your concerns. Diagnosing dementia early can lead to a much

greater quality of life for people with dementia and their families. World Alzheimer's Month is an international campaign to raise awareness about dementia and challenge the stigma surrounding it. Each year during this month, Alzheimer associations from around the world come together to organize and advocate for people and families impacted by this disease, with Memory Walks, fundraising days, and more. If you'd like to get involved, you can visit www.worldalzmonth.org for more information. -Alzheimer's Ally Dear Ally: Thank you for sharing this important information. I received the following letter just this week. It was in response to another letter, but it dovetails neatly with yours. To Disgraced: Annie's advice to you -- to have your husband evaluated by a doctor to determine if dementia is the reason for his drastic personality change and inappropriate sexual behavior -- is urgent.

ality began to change. He left his wife, got an apartment and, according to his apartment manager, my brother's behavior flipped 180 degrees. He went from a nice, well-liked, respectful man to a rude, verbally and sexually aggressive, unhygienic person. His ability to communicate rationally deteriorated gradually over months. He refused to see a doctor, even though he was employed in a management position at a hospital; they ultimately had to let him go. At the time, I was in college in the School of Human Behavior and began to research types and causes of early onset dementia. There are many, and many are curable. My brother's brain disease was not. Technology for early stage diagnostic testing has advanced greatly in 40 years. Please, try to get him to a doctor. No reason to be disgraced. You are protecting the children while a diagnosis and treatment are sought. If you can't persuade him to seek help, talk to someone he is close to, he respects, who could speak as a friend or relative. I wish you all the best. -- Sister Who's Been There Dear Sister: I am so sorry about your brother. Your letter further underscores the importance of seeking medical attention quickly for any unexplained personality changes. Thanks for writing.

Burning up the gas Power plants across the U.S. burned more natural gas in July than ever before, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. The spike came as people switched on air conditioners to deal with high summer temperatures throughout the country. Electric power plants consumed a record 47.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas on July 27, according to S&P Global Platts, and the electricity generated by natural gas in the lower 48 states hit a record 316 gigawatts that day. Low natural gas prices contributed to the boost.

The mild winter suppressed demand, decreasing prices. The U.S. has been adding natural gasburning generation to the mix, with a net gain of 8.4 gigawatts of summer capacity from January 2019 through May 2020, according to EIA. More than 100 coal plants have been replaced by or converted to natural gas over the last decade. On that late July day, 45% of the electricity generated in the lower 48 states came from natural gas, followed by coal at 24%, nuclear at 17%, renewable energy at 12% and other sources at 3%.

TRENTON REPUBLICAN-TIMES, TRENTON, MO.

AREA Rotary Club Holds Meeting Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson presented the program at the Thursday, Sept. 3 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Phil Hoffman presided at the meeting and led the pledge to the U.S. flag. Ms. Gibson spoke to members via teleconference and updated the club on the COVID-19 situation in Grundy County. She told of the spike in case numbers over the past week, noting that there is not any one event that can be attributed to the increase. She said the virus has affected individuals of all ages and while there have been very few hospitalizations, many have been ill for several days. She noted that case number increases are also being seen in surrounding counties. She said that if a person feels ill, they should stay home and if COVID symptoms develop, they should

consult with their doctor to determine if testing should be done. During the business meeting, final plans were made for the club’s annual fish fry, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12. The event will be a drive-through at the FFA cookshack (located west of the Rock Barn) and will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Cars should enter from Oklahoma Avenue and will be directed to exit onto 12th Street after getting their meal. The cost is $8 for adults and $5 for children, with proceeds being used for the club’s Rotary International project. The next meeting of the club will be on Thursday, Sept. 10 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall.

CARD SHOWERS A card shower has been requested for Larry Tracy, who has been hospitalized for the past five weeks and will have an extended stay at Wright Memorial Hospital. Cards may be sent to him at Wright Memorial Hospital, Room 208, 191 Iowa Blvd., Trenton, MO 64683.

Drive-Through Food Pickup Set

The monthly drive-through commodity and senior box distribution will take place on Thursday at the Community Food Pantry. Persons can pick up items at the food pantry from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Produce boxes will also be available.

Farm Lease Program Set

The University Extension will host a Missouri Farm Lease Program on Thursday, Sept. 17. The program will be offered online via Zoom from 6 to 9 p.m. Pre-registration is required by Sept. 16. There is no cost to participate. “Farm leases are a popular topic given common current cash rent, current levels and volatile crop prices,” ag business specialist Mary Sobba said. “Landlords and tenants need to understand the terms and expectations to develop a satisfactory agreement for both parties.” Topics to be discussed during the class include current cash rents in Missouri and trends, items to include in a lease, terminating a farm lease (when and how to do it legally), recreational (hunting) leases and crop share arrangements (keeping them fair for both sides). Staff from the University of Missouri Extension will teach the program, including a team of ag business specialists who have worked with both tenants and landlords for many years. The program will be presented by distance learning so the audience can see and interact with all the instructors. A flyer with class fee information is available from the Caldwell County Extension Center at 816-586-1010 or by e-mail at carleequinn@missouri.edu. Registration can be done through the Caldwell County Extension Center or via online https://extension2. missouri.edu/events/missourifarm-leases-1599148019 See Page 4 of today’s Republican-Times for Obituaries, the Daily Record and other Back Page news
