Local Resident Still Feeling Effects

COVID Hits Home For Trenton Woman

by Ronda Lickteig R-T Staff Writer For many people, Connie Olmstead’s Facebook account of her experience with COVID-19 was an eye-opener.

Her post sharing her experience of going from feeling fine just after her diagnosis to being extremely ill in the hospital and later suffering from serious complications put a face on a pandemic that has created havoc across the world but is still regarded as a problem “somewhere else” for many Grundy County residents. For Connie, the virus is something she respected, taking multiple precautions. But COVID still found its way into her home, where it took advantage of the one thing she hadn’t prepared for.

“We were being very cautious,” Connie said of her and her husband, Jay. “Our daughter has had a kidney transplant, my mother is 88, my brother has diabetes, so we were being very careful. I had been substitute teaching but I was wearing my mask and washing my hands. The one thing we didn’t do was have a plan for us at home.”

Jay was the first to be diagnosed, picking up the virus at

Jay ran a fever for five days, but on the sixth day, Connie said, he was out mowing. Her experience could not have been more different

and demonstrates just how differently the virus can manifest from one patient to the next.

“At first, I could have gone to work. I cleaned the refrigerator, cleaned the porch,” she said. “I had a headache, but it wasn’t too bad. It was like a sinus infection but maybe a litSee COVID, Page 4

City Will Remove Snow

The Grundy R-5 Board of Education approved an agreement for snow removal and agreed to seek bids for the sale of the bus barn during a meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 14.

According to Superintendent Phil Fox, the board approved an agreement with the city of Galt for snow removal at both the high school in Galt and elementary school in Humphreys. The district will pay $100 per cleaning.

After denying a request from Lewis Rogers to use the old bus barn for an auction, the board declared the bus barn as surplus property and agreed to sell it to the highest bidder. Details of the bidding process will be released in the near future.

Options for repairs at the elementary building were reviewed with the administration directed to seek more information before the board makes a decision. Bids for replacement of a furnace at the high school were also reviewed and it was determined not to proceed with the project but to look at other options.

The board discussed the present COVID-19 response for the district, deciding to continue the present preventative measures and re-evaluate them in the coming months.

The second reading was held on new MCE policies and the board approved an addition to the bereavement leave policy that will include fathers- and mothers-in-law.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WEEK 8: GALLATIN 54, TRENTON 14 BULLDOGS NOW 0-6, 0-4 GRC UP NEXT: vs. SOUTH HARRISON, FRIDAY, OCT. 23

STILL CHASING Bulldogs Solid Early, But Game Gets Away Again

SUMMARY Gallatin TRENTON

14 6 16 18 — 54 6 0 0 8 — 14

First Quarter Gallatin — Brinley Vandiver 5-yard pass to Payton Feiden (run failed).

TRENTON — Sam Gibson 2-yard run (pass failed).

Gallatin — Vandiver 30-yard pass to Isaac Bird (Kevin Meeks run).

Second Quarter

Sam Gibson lurched into the end zone and went down. The pain in his knee from an awkward plant kept him on the ground as his teammates celebrated his equalizing touchdown early in the first quarter of Trenton’s Friday night match-up with Gallatin at C.F. Russell Stadium.

The injury would not be serious as Gibson returned on the next possession. But at the other end of the three and one half quarters that remained at that juncture of the contest, Trenton was left holding yet another loss.

As has been the case in each of the previous four Bulldog battles that have occurred since Trenton joined the Grand River Conference, Gallatin came away with the victory and the Highway 6 rivalry trophy. The visitors dominated defensively and came to life offensively in the second half to score a 54-14 win over the Black and Gold Bulldogs. “I could probably sum up

Gallatin — Vandiver 2-yard run (pass failed).

Third Quarter Gallatin — Meeks 5-yard run (Vandiver pass to Bird).

Gallatin — Feiden 12-yard run (Meeks run).

Fourth Quarter Gallatin — Trenton snaps ball through the end zone for a safety.

Gallatin — Vandiver 8-yard pass to Bird (Jagger Gray run).

TRENTON — Kayden Spencer 75-yard kick return (Payden McCullough run).

Gallatin — Meeks 70-yard kick return (Vandiver pass to Bird).

the coverages and kind of mixing it up, but if we had a 6-0 defensive back who could cover a 6-4 wide receiver, we would be a heck of a lot better.�

For the most part, it was a sloppy game for both schools.

Gallatin, in spite of 54 points, fumbled the ball twice, losing one. It could not establish any kind of ground game in the first half and the passing attack that was so vaunted coming into the contest was hit and miss all night. In a night where flags flew frequently Gallatin tallied double-digit penalties amounting to over 100 penalty yards. The visiting Bulldogs also allowed a 75-yard kickoff return to Trenton near the end of the game.

Trenton, meanwhile, incurred its own fair share of penalties, went stagnant on offense after Gibson’s initial score, yielded a kickoff return

for a touchdown of its own for the second time in as many weeks and snapped a ball over its punter’s head for a safety.

Despite limiting what Gallatin could do through the air, Trenton gave up plenty of big plays over the top at inopportune times.

Trenton’s opening score was sandwiched between a pair of Gallatin touchdowns in the first quarter, putting the Bulldogs at a 14-6 deficit four minutes into the game. The scoring pace would dip at that point, however. Trenton had its chance for a second equalizer, but the Bulldogs turned the ball over on downs at the Gallatin 24. Gallatin answered with another touchdown to push the lead to 20-6 and two more Trenton possessions in the half came up empty.

Trenton received the kick to open the second half with another chance to get back into

the game but this drive stalled as well.

When Gallatin got the ball, it suddenly found its running legs. Trenton surrendered two touchdowns in the quarter as Gallatin pulled away, leading 36-6 entering the final quarter.

Trenton’s defense denied Gallatin a handful of attempts at getting the lead to over 35 points and forcing a running clock, but the final four minutes of the contest were a calamity of errors.

Trenton snapped the ball over Coleman Griffin’s head on a punt attempt and the ball rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety to give Gallatin a 38-6 lead. A big return on the free kick set up Gallatin to finally push the game into running clock with a score, but Kayden Spencer, who has had strong kick returns for Trenton all season, broke loose for a 75-yard return for Trenton’s final score. “(Spencer) got a little confidence about three weeks ago returning the ball,� Hixson said. “That’s kind of been his mission, he wanted to get one to the house. He did a great job on the two or three previous kick returns before that, too.

He is an asset. I don’t think people are going to kick to us very much anymore because of that. He did a good job and it has just been growing for him the whole time. It is fun to watch him back there.�

Just as quickly as Spencer struck, Gallatin did the same as Kevin Meeks took the Trenton kickoff 70 yards for a Gallatin touchdown. Spencer almost went for another, returning the next kickoff to the Gallatin 35.

Gott Finishes 1-2 At State Senior Ends Stellar Career In Springfield For three years Lexi Gott was a big part of Trenton’s varsity lineup. Her reward for a strong career that saw her represent Trenton in the numberone spot in each of the past two seasons was a trip to state in 2020. It was a reward she earned with a district championship and sectional win in the individual singles bracket.

Gott’s first match at the Class 1 MSHSAA championships in Springfield this weekend was a good one, but she wound up on the losing end, falling to eventual semifinalist Eden Fisher of Nevada, 7-5, 6-4.

Gott would bounce back in the consolation bracket, scoring a 6-4, 6-4 win over Boonville’s Emma Neidig. But the season ended in the consolation second round with a 6-0,

LEXI GOTT hits a serve during Trenton’s district semifinal match with Kirksville on Oct. 5. Gott wrapped up her career with a 1-2 showing at state over the weekend.

6-1 loss to Alexia Phipps of Lamar. “Lexi had a great season and a wonderful three-year career for Trenton tennis,� Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “She finished her season with a record of 19-4.�

In addition to her 19-4 singles record this year, Gott combined with Morgan Dolan for a

10-4 doubles mark. That put her at 29-8 overall on the season and gave her a final career record at Trenton of 71-31 Gott was the first state qualifier for the Trenton program since the 2017 season, when Claire Utley and Lauren Dolan advanced to state as a doubles team.

Semifinal Ending For Trenton Down Year Comes To A Close For Softball Program BROOKFIELD 11 TRENTON 3

Trailing 11-2 and entering what would be the final inning of their season, the Trenton Bulldogs went to the plate one final time in 2020.

Even in a down year, Trenton’s softball program went down swinging.

Jenna Reeter drove a triple and Jaycie Griffin followed with a pinch hit ground ball to short for a fielder’s choice that plated the Bulldogs’ third run of the night.

That would be the final run of the year for the Bulldogs, however, as second-seeded Brookfield eliminated Trenton from the Class 2, District 6 Tournament in Marceline with an 11-3 victory on Thursday night. The loss gave Trenton a

final record of 6-21. “It was a tough year but, with everything going on, it was a blessing to play an entire season,� Trenton coach Joel Hultman said. “The players deserve a lot of credit for following the guidelines set forth by the district and health department. We also owe a lot of credit to (Trenton athletic director) Mr. (John) Cowling for shuffling our schedule to get us a full slate.�

Trenton’s final game began the same way it ended, with the Bulldogs plating a single run in the top of the first. But Brookfield was up to the challenge and answered with back-toback three-run frames in the first and second innings to put Trenton in a 6-1 hole. The Bulldogs gamely held onto hope and picked up another run in the third to draw within four runs. But a run in the fifth and four in the sixth put the game away for Brookfield.

Maci Moore scored two of Trenton’s runs, drawing two walks in the contest. Chandler Lynch had a double and an RBI and Reeter tripled and scored the only other Bulldog

run. Griffin had the seventh-inning RBI and singles from Madi Moore and Chloe Harris rounded out Trenton’s four-hit total at the plate.

Emma Roberts started and went one inning-plus, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk without garnering a strikeout. Reeter took over in the second and threw the final five innings, allowing six runs, four earned, on five hits and five walks while striking out one. “The girls came a long way from the beginning of the year,� Hultman said. “They got a lot of experience and improved all around the diamond each game. Despite not having a lot of success in the win column, we were able to stick together and enjoy being around each other the entire season. “We will miss our seniors.

Jaycie, Chloe and Maci are very special to our team. They have been a part of some special teams and each have left their mark on our program. We want to thank them for everything and wish them luck in whatever they choose to do next.�

GRC Cancels Showcase, Wrestling Tournament The Grand River Conference has canceled two annual winter sports staples - its basketball showcase and wrestling tournament - due to health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decisions were made at the league’s superintendents meeting on Oct. 14.

The wrestling tournament was scheduled for Jan. 30, 2021. The GRC will now attempt to develop a schedule that would pit all conference schools against one another in dual meet formats over the span of four Saturdays in December and January. The conference champion will be determined by the schools’ dual meet records. An all-conference team will be selected by the coaches.

The basketball showcase was scheduled for Feb. 13, 2021 in Milan. Crossover games will still be held on that date, but will be played at East Division sites. Game times will be staggered to allow fans of West Division schools playing at two different East Division sites time to travel.

Times are tentatively set for 1 and 5 p.m., though those times will be adjusted if a West Division school has both its girls and boys teams playing at the same East Division site.

The conference intends to return to its regular showcase and wrestling tournament format for the 2021-2022 school year.

Mishap At Intersection No injuries were reported in a mishap investigated Oct. 12 by the Trenton Police Department.

Lt. Larry Smith’s accident report states that the mishap occurred at the intersection of 17th Street and Princeton Road when a car driven by Kristi E. Ewing of Trenton was making a turn from Princeton Road to travel eastbound on 17th Street. She stopped at the stop sign, but failed to see a pickup truck driven by Allison

M. Burkholder of Jamesport, which was eastbound on 17th Street. Ms. Ewing said she thought Ms. Burkholder’s car was stopped at the stop sign at 17th and Oak streets, which is just west of the intersection where the mishap occurred.

The mishap caused damage to the front passenger side corner of Ms. Ewing’s car and damage below the fuel tank cover on the driver’s side of Ms. Burkholder’s truck. No tickets were issued in the mishap.

room. But just because she was coming home didn’t mean she was well – not by any stretch of the imagination. “I was still exhausted. I was sleeping 12 hours at night. I would lay or sit on the couch all day,� she shared. “Sometimes I was too fatigued to even sit up. Sometimes it was all I could do to go to the bathroom or to sit up and eat.�

She recalls that during the days and nights in the hospital she wondered to herself if she was going to make it – if she would succumb to a virus that has taken more than 200,000 lives in the U.S. She shares that her great-grandparents died during the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 within one week of each other, leaving behind two small children. She wondered if she had done what she needed to do if she didn’t make it.

Thankfully, she did make it home but about a week after her discharge she developed a blood clot in her lower leg, something that has required shots in her stomach and other medications that she’ll have to take for three to six months.

She’s getting her energy back and is no longer considered contagious. The physical side effects are not the only lingering effects of the virus, however. “There’s the emotional side.

I had been isolated already and was then even more isolated. I was angry and even bitter because I just felt like if people had been doing what the CDC said they should be doing, I wouldn’t be here – I wouldn’t be laying in this bed.�

She said that to her knowledge, she and Jay did not pass the virus to anyone but each other, however six of their family members have contracted it in other ways, including one daughter, a son and daughter-in-law, a grandson and a great-grandchild who is only six weeks old. She wishes people would practice social distancing and wear masks and points to the large increase in positive tests in Grundy County since August as proof that doesn’t seem to be happening. The politics of COVID are secondary to the safety of others, she said, and in the end she believes it’s about personal responsibility. “I want to educate people. I want to let them know this is real,� she said. “You can listen to the politicians. You can listen to the scientists. You can listen to Christians, but when it comes down to it, it’s up to us – take the action to keep yourself and others safe. “ A Christian herself, she rejects the idea that God will protect His people from the illness any more than He keeps other diseases, trials and tribulations from them. And, as it turns out, God used her illness and recovery to show her something very important. “The Bible tells us that ‘the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike’,� she said. “I believe that. Anyone can get it.

But I did feel the prayers that people sent up for me. I felt the good wishes. And I saw that God can help us through the storm.�

tle more intense.�

On the sixth day, she lost her sense of taste and smell and by Day 7, she was running a fever. Things got rapidly worse from there.

On Day 10, dehydrated, vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, she went to the emergency room at Wright Memorial Hospital, where it took 10 “sticks� to get an IV in. She began vomiting again and passed out in the ER. Both WMH and Hedrick Medical Center were full, so she was eventually transferred to Saint Luke’s North, where she spent the next six days. She had pneumonia, an enlarged liver and spleen as well as gastritis.

She was placed on oxygen.

While Jay had been up and going by Day 6 of his diagnosis, Day 12 was the worst day for Connie. “At that point, I hadn’t had a fever all night. I got up and went to the bathroom and decided I would sit down in a chair for awhile. Then I just started shivering and they took my temperature. It was 103.2 just like that,� she said, snapping her fingers.

A PICC line was put in place and efforts were made to bring her temperature back down. During this time a nurse stayed with her at all times, which brought some comfort since she couldn’t have any family members with her in the hospital. “They wouldn’t let Jay past the door. I didn’t see him from the time he dropped me off until he came to get me. On that worst day, I couldn’t even talk on the phone, couldn’t eat, couldn’t take medicine.�

Her doctor began a treatment including the anti-viral medication Remdesivir, which has shown promise in many COVID patients. The five-day treatment is given through an IV and Connie said she did start feeling better. “I think the big thing with Remdesivir is the timing – if you wait too long, the virus doesn’t respond too well. “ While she had lost her sense of taste and smell in the early stage of the illness, a strange thing happened while she was at Saint Luke’s - her sense of taste actually became enhanced. “If something was salty, it was too salty; if it was sweet, it was too sweet; if it was bitter, it was way too bitter; if it was sour, it was super sour.

Even water was bitter. The only thing I could drink was milk. I ate potatoes and vegetables and drank milk. Bananas didn’t even taste like bananas. I lost 12 pounds and I had told the nurse that if I didn’t lose any weight through this I was going to be disappointed. Of course I’ve gained about half of that back now,� she laughed.

Over the next few days, her temperature started dropping and her need for oxygen decreased. On her last day in the hospital, her 16th day since testing positive, she was released after showing that her oxygen level could stay above 90 while moving around the

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

by Stacey Russell SSS Academic Advisor Entering college at any season in your life can be overwhelming. There are many “unknowns,� there are changes, stress, confusion and pressure. Trying o navigate through applying and going to college, earning how things work and having no family with any experience in the process can leave students eeling defeated from the beginning.

Even though college is hard for everyone, it can be more difficult for income-limited, first-generation, Stacey Russell and or students with disabilities. One program that has been helping these students for over 50 years is the TRiO program. The name TRiO represents the three main programs offered: Upward Bound, Educational Talent Search and Student Support Services. These programs are designed to guide students through middle school to college graduation.

These programs are federally funded. Upward Bound and Student Support services have been part of North Central Missouri College since 1999. Educational workshops, financial literacy classes, personal and career services, tutoring, social and cultural events and what we call “intrusive advising� are some benefits that TRiO offers.

I am with Student Support Services, which has been one of the most fulfilling jobs I have had. We watch as students come into campus halls appearing much like a baby who is taking their first steps, uncertain, scared, off-balance, yet having a feeling of freedom. Over he next two years, we can witness their growth as they stand taller, walk with confidence, reach their dreams and leave with a whole array of possibilities in front of them. We get to see first-hand the differences we are making with our students. They become like “one of our own.� We guide them, laugh with them, cry with them and we are just like a second family when they are ready to leave.

We will leave you with words from a former student regarding Student Support Services: “When I mean the SSS made me a better student and person; I’m not lying. Not only will they help with anything, but they are also great friends and even better tutors. They have a friendly environment for all types of people and work with any schedule you set or any goals you want to make. Always remember they want the best for you and want you to succeed in life, but in the end, you need to be the determining factor as to what needs to be done. With the help of SSS, my study skills have improved, my social skills are better and I even made lifelong friends along the way. SSS staff are great motivators and will always be there for students no matter what. I will always give them credit for much of my first two years of college success and growth as a student.�

as being over 65 years of age, residing in a long-term care facility or having certain health conditions. Absentee ballots do not need to be notarized. As of Oct. 13, over 300 absentee and mail-in ballots had been received by the county clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Oct. 21 is the last day to request a mail-in ballot. There was also time for a questionanswer session.

So, I can see what's out there that I want to be with. But I'm married and feel obligated to that person who helped build a family. To say I am conflicted is an understatement.

I know if I left, then there is zero guarantee and little chance of the other woman being interested. Yet, to be able to try to find happiness, to give that a chance, that is starting to seem worth it. My marriage has been going through this for 15 of the 20-plus years. It's not new. So being in a highly emotional state, I keep thinking I need to choose between finding passion or remaining in stale obligation. I need advice.

I don't want to hurt my wife. I don't want to hurt my kids, although I think they are old enough to deal with me leaving. I want to be happy. -Conflicted Dear Conflicted: Marriage is a two-way street, and I'm sure your wife is not thrilled about being married to someone who is highly critical of her. She can probably sense that you don't find her attractive romantically and is sad

Dear Annie: I have been married for over 20 years to a woman who has been a good mom, but not a woman I am in love with. I care about her tremendously, but I have lost all interest in her romantically.

She refuses to work to help with the rising cost of living and impending college tuition for two older teenage kids. She doesn't really keep a clean house. I do as much or more of the cooking -- probably as I prefer to. She wears T-shirts and, half the time, no makeup when I get home.

She just doesn't seem to care about pleasing her husband.

I've asked about counseling for years, but she blames me for not going. "You wouldn't do it," she says.

I want to live the rest of my life happy and in love. The thought of living without being in love for the rest of my life is terrifying. I'm a romantic and need that spark.

Then along comes another woman. Yeah, same old story, I know. There is absolutely nothing going on between us, but I admit I wish there were.

about that. It could be part of the reason that she seems to have given up looking nice for you or cooking you a nice meal.

Marriage is a give and take, and it sounds like neither of you is giving, and you're both unhappy. At this point, marriage counseling would be the first step to take.

When your wife says about marriage counseling, "You wouldn't do it," is she right? If so, look in the mirror. You were close during the first five years of your marriage. With professional help, the two of you might rekindle your early romance. It will take a lot of work, but I can't think of anything more important. If during your counseling you decide that you don't want to make it work, then set her free. No one should have to be in a relationship where the person outwardly says they are not "in love" with their spouse. But remember that there is a difference between love and lust.

Job loss hits women most

The coronavirus outbreak has inflicted pain throughout the U.S. economy. But women have absorbed more than their share of it.

Disproportionately working in vulnerable jobs — at restaurants, bars and beauty shops, for instance — women have accounted for an outsize share of the jobs lost since the pandemic struck the economy this spring. In February, just over half the positions on American payrolls were held by women, according to the Labor Department.

But as infections spread, businesses closed and people stayed home to protect

themselves, stalling economic activity. Employers slashed jobs in March and April, then began to recall some furloughed workers.

Still, the United States is down 10.7 million jobs compared with February. And 5.8 million of them (54%) belonged to women. In September, women accounted for just 43% of 661,000 added jobs.

Women are also dropping out of the labor force. The number of women either working or looking for work fell by 865,000 in September.

Some decided to take time off to care for children stuck at home until their schools reopen.
