Construction In Progress On New Dorm Halls New Apartment Suite Dorms To Be Completed By Fall North Central Missouri College has begun construction on two new residence halls planned to be open for the fall 2021 semester. The new residence halls are apartment suite-style and will be available to full-time, enrolled NCMC students with other criteria to be determined. Each unit will be two floors and house 16 beds with eight on each floor. Each floor will also include a kitchenette and laundry facility. "The new residence halls are apartment-style and cater to how students live today," said Dr. Kristen Alley, Vice President of Student Affairs. "Students will have their own bedrooms but still have shared spaces to cook, study, and socialize. The complex will be conveniently located to classes, the Ketcham Community
Center, and other campus facilities. We utilized student focus groups to gain a better understanding of wants and needs and provided that feedback to the architect and builder. We are eager for students to move in and make this their new home away from home while they pursue their education." The two halls are being constructed with local business, Weldon Builders and Construction, and located on the far northeast corner of campus property. With all campus facility projects, the construction is also overseen by NCMC Facilities Director Randy Young. "We are excited about the prospect of our new housing units," said President Dr. Lenny Klaver. "New housing is a part of our NCMC strategic plan for campus modernization and enrollment growth; we hope over several years all of our housing will be this style." In long-term goals, NCMC plans to construct more apartment-style housing and demolish or repurpose the current residence halls. Also included in long-term goals is constructing a

Price Removed From Caucus Missouri House Member Gets Booted Over Ethics
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri House Democrats on Sunday kicked out a member of their caucus as punishment for threatening a staffer and lying during an ethics investigation. House Minority Leader Crystal Quade in a statement
said the caucus voted out Rep. Wiley Price, of St. Louis. Price was accused of having sex with an intern in January 2020, which he denied. A House Ethics Committee investigation found he retaliated against his staffer after she reported the allegation. The committee also found that Price lied while under investigation. “As with the other sanctions, Rep. Price’s removal from the House Democratic Caucus is necessary to hold him accountable for his ac-
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Missouri Legislature is continuing to grow after lawmakers converged at the Capitol to begin their annual session. Four additional lawmakers told The Associated Press on Friday that they had contracted the virus, bringing the total to at least seven since the session began Jan. 6. The outbreak is among the larger ones being reported as state legislatures across the country get to work this month. The House canceled all work this week because of the virus. The Senate continued to meet. Among those confirming Friday that they had become ill with the disease was state Sen. Andrew Koenig. The Republican from St. Louis County had presented legislation Wednesday during a lengthy Senate committee hearing proposing to crack down on public health orders that limit the number of people
tions, uphold the integrity of the Ethics Committee’s findings against him and further reinforce that retaliation against employees will be met with serious consequences,” Quade said in a statement. The House earlier this month censured Price. That was the first time in history that the chamber formally denounced a member. An effort to kick Price out of the House completely failed after some Republicans and all but one Democrat voted against it.
who can gather in homes, businesses and places of worship. Koenig also was present Thursday for the Senate's short session. Although Koenig said he believes he caught the virus from his wife, some other lawmakers said they likely came down with it at the Capitol. “We got sworn in that week before with people from all over the state. I’d say there’s a pretty good chance,” said Rep. Jeff Knight, a Republican from Lebanon who said he just completed his isolation period after testing positive for COVID-19. With hundreds of people working in the Capitol, "unfortunately, it was bound to happen,” said Rep. Dan Houx, a Republican from Warrensburg who contracted the virus last week. Republican Rep. Craig Fishel, of Springfield, said he tested positive for COVID-19 after the first week of the legislative session, but he doesn't view its prevalence among lawmakers as anything different than what's going on in communities across the nation. He's ready for the House to resume its work. “There’s business that we have to take care of," Fishel said. At least 19 Missouri lawmakers have confirmed they have had COVID-19 at some point since last March, according to an AP tally. Nationwide, the AP has counted about 300 state lawmakers who tested positive for the virus.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Wednesday will be mostly cloudy in and around Trenton with a high of 26 and a low of 6. Thursday will be sunny with a high reaching 32 and a low around 22.

Candidate Withdraws From Race
A candidate for the third ward seat on the Trenton City Council has withdrawn from the April 6 race.

The Grundy County Commission has made an addition to the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting. In addition to adopting the county’s 2021 budget and meeting with the Northwest Missouri Business Facilitation Group, the commission has scheduled a 9:30 a.m. public hearing to consider a petition from Marion Township. The petition seeks permission to place a question on the April 6 ballot to approve $70,000 in general obligation bonds. The funds generated would be used to purchase equipment and maintain roads. Marion Township, located on the east side of the county, has 187 registered voters and a simple majority would be needed to approve the bonds.

Open Weights Hurt Bulldogs At Quad Trenton Teams Swept Johnson, McAtee, Griffin And Owen Undefeated At Event In Maryville MAYSVILLE 35 TRENTON 30 TRENTON 45 MARYVILLE 12 LAWSON 48 TRENTON 30
Wrestling dual records have taken on a different meaning in the COVID-19-era of high school sports. Thursday in Maryville, the Trenton High School wrestling team had what felt like a pretty good night. Their record at the end of the three duals, however, stood at 1-2. Five open weights in the Trenton lineup doomed the Bulldogs, who had a winning record of 17-9 in matches actually wrestled on the night. In all three duals, Trenton won more matches on the mat than it lost. But, in two of the three duals, the scoreboard showed a losing result. Against Maysville, Trenton yielded 18 points due to open weights. Maysville’s only two open weights, meanwhile, came at 106 and 145, spots Trenton was empty at as well. On the mat, though, Trenton took five of nine matches, winning each by fall. Hunter McAtee (120), Coleman Griffin
(160), Kaden Owen (170), Nate Burkeybile (182) and Caleb Johnson (220) each pinned their Maysville foes without too much issue. Gavin Chambers (126) and Brice Gibler (138) put up pretty good fights despite losing decisions of 6-0 and 7-4 respectively. Gaven Kelsall lost by a 16-1 technical fall at 152 and Kael Brock was pinned at 285 to round out the action on the mat. Trenton was on level footing with Maryville, which came into the middle dual with five open weights as well. The weights lined up pretty well as both schools were open at 106, 113, 132 and 145. Maryville picked up six free points at 195 and Trenton did the same at 138. That left eight head-to-head matches to determine a winner and Trenton took seven of the eight matches to secure the dominating 45-12 victory. McAtee (120), Kelsall (152), Griffin (160), Owen (170), Burkeybile (182) and Johnson (220) all won by fall and Chambers (126) came out on top in a 9-8 decision. Brock (285) was pinned for Trenton’s only loss on the mat in the dual. The final dual of the night was troublesome from the onset as Lawson, the only team without an open weight at the quad, was able to take 30 points off Trenton’s five open weights. Trenton, which lost the final dual by an 18-point margin, 48-30, couldn’t do much about the score. But, Trenton again controlled what it could, the action on the mat. McAtee (120), Griffin (160), Owen (170) and Johnson (220) all secured another pinfall victory, giving the foursome a perfect 3-0 showing on the night. Trenton also got a pin from Brice Gibler
at 138 to get the team to its 30-point final mark. Brock (285) and Chambers (126) were each able to avoid pins, falling by decisions of 5-0 and 6-2 respectively. Burkeybile (182) and Kelsall (152) were each pinned in the only other two matches wrestled on the mat. “The boys wrestled well and fought hard, but opens really hurt us with the team score,� Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “Caleb, Coleman, Hunter and Kaden all went undefeated at 3-0 and they all wrestled some great matches against some tough opponents.� Trenton’s dual record on the season moved to 8-5 overall with the 1-2 night in Maryville. GIRLS Trenton’s girls were 1-2 on the night as well, falling 12-12 on a tiebreaker to Maysville, defeating Maryville 18-6 and losing to Lawson 42-12. Mercy Schweizer lost by fall at 117 against Maysville and that would be the tiebreaker in the dual as it was the only match wrestled on the mat. Both Allison Yoder (159) and Makayla Hamilton (195) picked up wins by forfeit in the dual. Yoder secured Trenton’s lone win on the mat against Maryville, while Hamilton and Schweizer each won by forfeit. Like the boys quad, Lawson had the fullest lineup of the four teams competing. Schweizer was pinned against the Cardinals while Yoder and Hamilton each won by forfeit. Lawson had seven wrestlers and won six matches by forfeit. Trenton’s wrestling teams will be at home tonight (Tuesday) hosting the Chillicothe Hornets at 5 p.m.
Johnson Wins Tough Brookfield Tourney field at the tournament, Johnson won his title without a perfect record, going 2-1 in the round-robin-style bracket. Johnson secured a pin over Centralia’s Sam Lynn and topped Hamilton’s Fisher Nixdorf via a 12-4 major decision. Johnson’s lone loss came by a 4-3 decision to Marceline’s Nathan Cupp. But, with every wrestler in the pool suffering at least one loss, the closeness of Johnson’s defeat put the Trenton grappler at the top. “Caleb had a tough weight class at 220 with most of the top-ranked kids in the state,� Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “He came out strong and had a near-perfect day, winning the tournament with one loss.� Hunter McAtee finished second in a weight class that featured the top three 113-
McAtee, Gibler And Griffin All Finish Runner-Up The Trenton High School wrestling team traveled to Brookfield on Saturday where they saw a strong field at the Gary Haag Invitational wrestling tournament. No team points were kept at the tournament, but Trenton was able to find success individually as Caleb Johnson picked up the championship at 220, while Hunter McAtee (113), Brice Gibler (132) and Coleman Griffin (152) all came away with second-place finishes.

McAtee fell by an 112 major decision, but bounced back with four-straight wins by fall, one over third-ranked Daylen Greene of Holden, to claim second place. “Hunter saw the number-one and number-three ranked kids in the state at 113,� Bacon said. “After a first-round loss, he came back strong to win the rest of his matches.� Coleman Griffin was second at 152, going 3-1 on the day.

Yoder scored a pair of wins by fall to start off the tournament, but was pinned in her third and final match, leaving her with a 2-1 overall record and a runner-up finish. Hamilton, meanwhile, wrestled up from her normal 195pound position, competing at 235 where she was 0-2 against the only other wrestler at that weight. The two losses by fall placed Hamilton second in the weight class. There were no wrestlers at 195, prompting Hamilton’s move up to 235. Mercy Schweizer was also in action for Trenton at the tournament, placing fourth at 117 pounds with an 0-3 record at the event. Schweizer was pinned in each of her three matches.

On The Road In Milan
Rough Stretches Lead To Losses For Bulldogs MILAN GIRLS 43 TRENTON GIRLS 20 MILAN BOYS 63 TRENTON BOYS 41
An 18-5 run to open the game set the tone. A 15-1 run in the second quarter put the game away. The Trenton High School girls basketball team’s slow start Friday night in Milan led to a 43-20 road loss. The Bulldogs probably weren’t going to be able to upend the Grand River Conference frontrunners, but the slow start certainly accelerated the defeat. “Milan hit a lot of shots early and we struggled to score,� Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “We bounced back in the second half, but our start put us in too big of a hole.� After the six-point first half, Trenton was able to find a bit more offense in the second half. A pair of three-pointers got things rolling in the third quarter and Trenton more than doubled their first-half output in the second. No Trenton player scored more than three points in the loss as Teya Cooksey, Morgan King, Mallory Sole and Jena Harris all finished with three points. Chandler Lynch, Madi Moore and Jenna Reeter each had two points and Gracyn Rongey and Rebecca Urich
each tallied one point to round out the Trenton total. With the loss, the Bulldogs fell to 5-9 overall and 1-5 within the GRC. BOYS Trenton’s boys were a handful for Milan for a while, but a costly stretch ruined Trenton’s upset bid. The Wildcats led 15-10 after one quarter, but Trenton fought back early in the second, reeling Milan back in. The host school found its stride, though, and took off down the stretch in the second quarter and into the third. By the time the fourth quarter began, the Bulldogs were in a 43-29 hole. Trenton would get no closer either as Milan pushed the advantage to 22 points by the game’s end. “Milan had a big run to end the second quarter and start the third quarter that we couldn’t overcome,� Bulldogs’ coach Corbin Coe said. “Before and after that run we played really well and hung with them for a long time. I was proud of our effort on the road in a tough environment to compete against one of the better GRC East teams.� Trenton was led in the loss by Preston Harris, who had 15 points, connecting on three three-pointers. Brycin Loyd hit four triples en route to a 12point night and Chase Otto was in double figures as well, scoring 10 points to go with six rebounds and four assists. The Bulldogs also got two points each from Tucker Otto and Gabe Novak to round out the team’s total. With the loss, Trenton fell to 3-10 overall and saw its league mark fall to 1-5.

time in as many games, but unlike Wednesday’s season opener, which saw the Pirates defeat Kansas City Kansas in double overtime, Sunday’s overtime game ended in defeat. The Pirates found themselves in a backand-forth game from the onset, trading blows with John Wood throughout the first half. At the break the Pirates trailed just 43-42. In the second half neither team was able to get clear of their opponent as the nip and tuck action continues. At the end of regulation, North Central found itself headed into overtime again. There wouldn’t be a second overtime this time around, however. John Wood had enough to put the Pirates away in the first bonus period, dropping North Central to 1-1 overall. Individual statistics were unavailable for the men’s game as of press time. North Central entered the game as the sixth-ranked team in the NJCAA Division II preseason poll. John Wood was receiving votes in that same poll, but had not cracked the top 20. Both North Central squads travel to face Mineral Area Community College in Park Hills today (Tuesday). The women’s game tips off at 3 o’clock with the men to follow at 5. The North Central men will be at home on Friday as well, hosting the Peru State junior varsity in a men’s-only match-up. Tip off for that game is slated for 6 p.m. at the Ketcham Community Center. The North Central women will be on the road on Saturday, traveling to take on Crowder College.

Lily Osborn caught the pass just off the right side of the top of the key. Almost seamlessly she took one step back and fired off a three-pointer with a hand in her face. The ball splashed home as the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team erupted from the bench. When you’re on, you’re on and on this night, Osborn was definitely on. By the end of a 97-72 NCMC victory, Osborn had a game-high 26 points, connecting on 8-of-14 shots from distance. She did the bulk of her damage in the first half, hitting six of her three-pointers as the Pirates raced out to a 49-32 halftime lead. “Lily was taking good shots and was in great rhythm,� North Central coach Jenni Croy said. “She was shot ready on every catch. The team did a great job of finding her when she was open. That’s what’s great about this team, they get so excited to see their teammate have this kind of success.� While Osborn’s three-point show was drawing the biggest reactions from the crowd, she was hardly the only Pirate doing damage. Maci Moore had her second doubledouble in as many games, going for 20 points and 11 rebounds. In just two collegiate games, the should-be high school senior is averaging 19 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Kortlyn Rounkles backed Osborn and Moore with 13 points and 10 rebounds and Angel Wiggins added 10 points. On the other side, John Wood got 14 points from Trenton native Mykah Hurley, a sophomore, who teamed with Moore to help lift Trenton to the Show-Me Showdown in 2018.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It took the Kansas City Chiefs five frustrating decades to make their third Super Bowl appearance. Now, the defending champs are headed there for the second straight year. Showing no lingering effects from his concussion, Patrick Mahomes sliced up Buffalo's secondary with ruthless efficiency Sunday night, helping the Chiefs roll to a 3824 victory over Josh Allen and the Bills in the AFC championship game. The reigning Super Bowl MVP finished with 325 yards passing and three touchdowns, most of it to favorite targets Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, who complemented their star quarterback with a record-setting night of their own. The Chiefs will face a familiar foe — Tom Brady — and the NFC champ Buccaneers in two weeks in Tampa, Florida. “It was just trusting each other. The best thing about this team is we believe in each other," said Mahomes, who was also dealing with a toe injury. “But the job's not finished. We're going to Tampa; we're trying to run it back." Kelce finished with 13 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns, and Hill added nine catches for 172 yards, becoming the first duo in NFL history with consecutive games of at least 100 yards receiving each in a single postseason. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams added short TD runs for the Chiefs, who will try to become the eighth franchise and first team since the Brady-led New England Patriots in 2003 and '04 to successfuly defend the Lombardi Trophy. “So glad to get to do it again,� said Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, whose father Lamar founded the franchise. “Thought a lot about my dad tonight, thought about my family and how excited my father would have been that we got to do it again in Arrowhead Stadium. That's what he would have liked the most about it.� Allen, who had his worst game of the season in a Week 6 loss to the Chiefs, again struggled against the blitzing
Kansas City defense. He finished with 287 yards passing with two touchdowns and an interception, but a big chunk of his numbers came as the Bills tried to rally from a 3815 deficit in the final minutes. Their frustration boiled over with 3:19 to go, when Allen was getting sacked by Tanoh Kpassagnon. Alex Okafor finished off the tackle, and Allen pitched the ball in his face in resentment. Offensive linemen Jon Feliciano and Dion Dawkins rushed in and leveled Okafor, resulting in a flood of offsetting personal foul penalties. “Obviously a lot of emotion,� Allen said. “Any time you don’t finish the season with a win, that’s the type of emotion you’re going to have. The way it ended doesn’t sit right with me with how chippy and ticky-tack it got. I’m disappointed in myself. I let my emotions get to me there. That’s not how you’re supposed to play football.� It capped a bitter night for the Bills, who had reached their first AFC title game since beating Kansas City at home on Jan. 1, 1994. They had won 11 of 12 since their loss to the Chiefs earlier this season — in fact, they hadn’t trailed in the second half since Week 8 — and were riding a wave of confidence that this might finally be their championship year. Instead, after finally conquering the Patriots in the AFC East, the Bills have a new roadblock to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs actually spotted the Bills a 9-0 lead, thanks in large part to Mecole Hardman's muffed punt inside their 5 that gifted Buffalo a touchdown. But the reigning champs were hardly rattled; the Chiefs, after all, rallied from double-digits in each of their postseason wins last season, including their Super Bowl triumph over San Francisco. Mahomes and Kelce soon found their groove. And the rest of the Chiefs offense followed suit. They surgically took apart Buffalo's defense on a 14-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a short TD throw to Hardman. Then, the Chiefs cruised 82 yards in just five plays, the big one Hardman's 50-yard endaround that set up Williams' touchdown tumble. Finally, they made it three TDs in three possessions when EdwardsHelaire — in his first game back from an ankle injury — capped a 77-yard drive with a short plunge. The only answer from Buffalo was Tyler Bass's chip-shot field goal that made it 21-12 at the break.

At 78, Biden Has Seen A World Changed WASHINGTON (AP) — When Joe Biden took the oath of office as the 46th president, he became not only the oldest newly inaugurated U.S. chief executive in history but also the oldest sitting president ever. Biden was born Nov. 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was 78 years, two months and one day old when he was sworn in on Wednesday. That’s 78 days older than President Ronald Reagan was when he left office in 1989. A look at how the country Biden now leads has changed over his lifetime and how his presidency might reflect that. BIGGER, MORE DIVERSE PIE The U.S. population is approaching 330 million people, dwarfing the 135 million at Biden's birth and nearly 60% greater than when he was first elected to the Senate in 1972. The world population in Biden’s lifetime has grown from about 2.3 billion to 7.8 billion. More striking is the diversity in Biden’s America. The descendant of Irish immigrants, Biden was born during a period of relative stagnant immigration after U.S. limitations on new entries in the 1920s, followed by a worldwide depression in the 1930s. But a wave of white European immigration followed World War II, when Biden was young, and more recently an influx of Hispanic and nonwhite immigrants from Latin America, Asia and Africa has altered the melting pot again. In 1950, the first census after Biden’s birth counted the country as 89% white. Heading into 2020, the country was 60% non-Hispanic white and 76% white, including Hispanic whites. So, it’s no surprise that a politician who joined an all-male, nearly all-white Senate as a 30-year-old used his inaugural address 48 years later to promise a reckoning on racial justice and, later that afternoon, signed several immi-
grant-friendly executive orders. BIDEN, HARRIS AND HISTORY Biden took special note of Vice President Kamala Harris as the first woman elected to national office, and the first Black woman and south Asian woman to reach the vice presidency. “Don’t tell me things can’t change,” he said of Harris, who was a student in the stillmostly segregated Oakland public elementary school when Biden became a senator. The first time Biden addresses a joint session of Congress, there will be two women behind a president, another first: Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. But change comes slowly. Harris was just the second Black woman ever to serve in the Senate. When she resigned Monday, the Senate was left with none -- and just three Black men out of 100 seats. Black Americans account for about 13% of the population. MONEY MATTERS Minimum wage in 1942 was 30 cents an hour. Median income for men according to the 1940 census, the last before Biden's birth, was $956. Today, the minimum wage is $7.25. The federal government's most recent weekly wage statistics reflect a median annual income of about $51,100 for full-time workers. But the question is buying power, and that varies. The month Biden was born, a dozen eggs averaged about 60 cents in U.S. cities -- two hours of minimum wage work. A loaf of bread was 9 cents, about 20 minutes of work. Today, eggs can go for about $1.50 (12 minutes of minimum-wage work); a loaf of bread averages $2 (16 minutes). College tuition is another story. Pre-war tuition at Harvard Business School was about $600 a year -- roughly two-thirds of the median American worker’s yearly wages. Today, the

current Harvard MBA class is charged annual tuition of more than $73,000, or a year and almost five months of the median U.S. salary (and that’s before taxes). Biden proposes raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour -- a move already drawing opposition from Republicans. He’s called for tuition-free two-year community and technical college and tuition waivers for four-year public schools (so, not Harvard) for students from households with $125,000 or less in annual income. DEBT National debt has soared in Biden’s lifetime, from $72 billion to $27 trillion. But it’s a recent phenomenon. Biden finished 36 years in the Senate and became vice president amid the fallout from the 2008 financial crash, when the debt was about $10 trillion. Now he takes office amid another economic calamity: the coronavirus pandemic. To some degree, this is a biographical bookend for Biden. He was born when borrowing to finance the war effort generated budget deficits that, when measured as percentage of the overall economy, were the largest in U.S. history until 2020, when emergency COVID spending, the 2017 tax cuts and loss of revenue from a lagging economy added trillions of debt in a single year. Reflecting how President Franklin Roosevelt approached the Great Depression and World War II, Biden is nonetheless calling for an additional $1.9 trillion in immediate deficit spending to prevent a long-term economic slide. AUTOMOBILES As part of his proposed overhaul of the energy grid, Biden wants to install 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2030, a move analysts project could spur the sale of 25 mil-
States Look At Allowing Concealed Carry Of Gun Without Permit SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Republican lawmakers in several more states want to loosen gun restrictions by allowing people to carry concealed firearms without having to get a permit, continuing a trend that gun control advocates call dangerous. Fifteen states already allow concealed carry without a permit, and lawmakers in nine others have proposed allowing or expanding the practice. GOP governors are backing the changes in Utah and Tennessee. Another bill expanding permitless carry in Montana has passed the state House. Most states require people to do things like get weapons training and undergo a back-
ground check to get a permit to carry a gun hidden by a jacket or inside a purse. Groups like the National Rifle Association and state lawmakers who support gun rights argue those requirements are ineffective and undermine Second Amendment protections. The proposed changes come after gun sales hit historic levels last summer — reflected in FBI background checks — amid uncertainty and safety concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, the struggling economy and protests over racial injustice. Since then, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Against that backdrop, the efforts to loosen concealed

lion electric vehicles. For context, federal statistics counted 33 million cars in the U.S. altogether in 1948, as Biden began grammar school. A FIRST FOR THE SILENT GENERATION Biden is part of the Silent Generation, so named because it falls between the “Greatest Generation” that endured the Depression and won World War II, and their children, the Baby Boomers, who made their mark through the sweeping social and economic changes of the civil rights era, Vietnam and the Cold War. True to the stereotypes, Biden’s generation looked for decades as if it would never see one of its own in the Oval Office. The Greatest Generation produced John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Then Boomers took over. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Donald Trump were born in a span of 67 days in 1946, the first of the Boomer years. Barack Obama, born in 1961, bookended their generation as a young Boomer. If his inaugural address is any indication, Biden seems eager to embrace the characteristics of his flanking generations. He ticked through the “cascading crises” -- a pandemic and economic fallout reminiscent of the Depression and subsequent war effort, a reckoning on race that’s an extension of the civil rights era -and summoned the nation “to the tasks of our time.” PLENTY OF FIRST-HAND LEARNING Biden lived through 14 presidencies before beginning his own, nearly one-third of all presidents. No previous White House occupant had lived through so many administrations before taking office.

carry requirements are a frightening trend for Shannon Watts, founder of the gun control group Moms Demand Action. “It is dangerous to allow people to carry hidden, loaded handguns possibly without a background check or any training,” she said, adding that the annual rate of aggravated assaults with a firearm has increased 71% in Alaska since the state became the first to allow concealed carry without a permit in 2003. The proposal in Utah would
allow any U.S. citizen 21 and older to carry a concealed weapon without the now-required background check or weapons course. The bill does allow gun owners who want to carry a concealed weapon out of state to get a permit to do so after a background check and safety course. Newly elected GOP Gov. Spencer Cox has said he supports the idea, in contrast to his predecessor and fellow Republican Gary Herbert, who vetoed a similar bill in 2013.

Book Review Every Waking Hour
by Joanna Schaffhausen (Minotaur) (AP) - The push-pull relationship between Boston police detective Ellery Hathaway and FBI Agent Reed Markham took a big leap last year in “All the Best Lies,” the third book in Joanna Schaffhausen’s compelling series of crime novels. Now, in “Every Waking Hour,” the world seems determined to pull the new lovers apart. Reed rescued Ellery from serial killer years ago, when she was just a teenager, so their mutual attraction has been fraught with complications from the start. And now? Reed’s ex-wife Sarit disapproves of Ellery. Still bitter about their divorce, Sarit threatens to stop him from seeing his toddler daughter unless he breaks off the relationship. Ellery’s teenage half-sister, a runaway from the father who abandoned Ellery and her mother years ago, shows up and moves in. And Ellery, whose kidnapping was such a huge story that journalists never lost interest in her, is horrified when a news photographer catches the lovers in a tender moment and makes their relationship public. Meanwhile, a 12-year-old girl has been kidnapped, battering Ellery with horrible memories of her own ordeal that are never far from the surface. The obvious suspect is the nanny who was supposed to be watching over the child. However, Ellery and Reed soon discover that the girl’s mother’s first child was murdered years ago when he was also 12 years old. That the crime was never solved. Might the two cases be connected? The result is a tension-filled investigation filled with twists that readers are unlikely to see coming. Though not a particularly stylish writer, Schaffhausen spins her yarn with clear, concise prose that keeps the plot moving at a torrid pace. But as usual in this series, the most compelling part of her story is the fragile relationship between the protagonists. Can it — and even should it — survive what the world keeps throwing at them?
Larry King, Radio Host, Dies At 87 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Larry King, the suspenderssporting everyman whose broadcast interviews with world leaders, movie stars and ordinary Joes helped define American conversation for a half-century, died Saturday. He was 87. King died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his production company, Ora Media, tweeted. No cause of death was given, but a spokesperson said Jan. 4 that King had COVID-19, received supplemental oxygen and been moved out of intensive care. A longtime nationally syndicated radio host, he also was a nightly fixture on CNN from 1985 through 2010 as the host of “Larry King Live.” He won many honors, including two Peabody awards, during the show's 25-year run. King set himself apart with the curiosity he brought to every interview, whether questioning the assault victim known as the Central Park jogger or billionaire industrialist Ross Perot, who in 1992 announced his presidential candidacy on King’s show. King conducted an estimated 50,000 on-air interviews. In 1995, he presided over a Middle East peace summit with Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama
to Elizabeth Taylor, from Mikhail Gorbachev to Barack Obama, Bill Gates to Lady Gaga. Especially after he relocated to Los Angeles from Washington, “Larry King Live” frequently ended up in the thick of breaking celebrity news. The show featured Michael Jackson’s friends and family members talking about the singer's death in 2009. “I don’t pretend to know it all,” King said in a 1995 Associated Press interview. “Not, `What about Geneva or Cuba? I ask, `Mr. President, what don’t you like about this job? Or `What’s the biggest mistake you made? That’s fascinating.” He was known for getting guests who were notoriously elusive. Frank Sinatra, an old friend, spoke to King in 1988 in what would be the crooner's last major TV appearance. King had never met Marlon Brando when the actor asked to appear on his show in 1994. After a gala week marking his 25th anniversary in 2010, he abruptly announced he was retiring from CNN, telling viewers, “It’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.” Once the leader in cable TV news, King ranked third in his time slot with less than half the nightly audience than during his peak year, 1998, when “Larry King Live” drew 1.64 million viewers. His approach to interviewing by then felt
dated in an era of edgy questioning by other hosts. He found a new sort of celebrity on Twitter, attracting over more than 2 million followers who mocked and loved him for his esoteric style. “I’ve never been in a canoe. #Itsmy2cents,” he said in a typical tweet in 2015. King was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in 1933, a son of Jewish immigrants who ran a bar and grill in Brooklyn. A fan of such radio stars as Arthur Godfrey and comedians Bob & Ray, King on reaching adulthood set his sights on a broadcasting career. He headed to Miami in 1957 and landed a job sweeping floors at a tiny AM radio station. When a deejay abruptly quit, He was put on the air — and given the surname King by the station manager, who thought Zeiger sounded “too Jewish.” By the early 1960s, King landed at a much larger Miami station, scored a newspaper column and become a local celebrity himself. He accumulated debts, as well as his first broken marriages. (During his life, King was married eight times to seven women.) He became involved with a shady financier in a scheme to bankroll an investigation of President John Kennedy’s assassination. When King skimmed some of the cash to pay his overdue taxes, his partner sued him for grand larceny in 1971. The
case was dropped, but King’s reputation appeared ruined. The scandal had largely blown over by 1975, and a Miami station gave him another chance. Regaining his local popularity, King was signed in 1978 to host radio’s first nationwide call-in show on the Mutual network. “The Larry King Show” was eventually heard on more than 300 stations. A few years later, CNN founder Ted Turner offered King a slot on his young network. “Larry King Live” debuted in 1985, and became CNN’s highest-rated program. King’s salary of $100,000 a year eventually grew to more than $7 million. He was just 18 when he married high school girlfriend Freda Miller in 1952. The marriage lasted less than a year. His last marriage, in 1997, was to Shawn Southwick, a country singer and actress 26 years King's junior. The couple filed for divorce in 2010, rescinded the filing, then filed for divorce again in 2019. The couple had two sons King’s fourth and fifth children - Chance and Cannon Edward. In 2020, His two oldest children, Andy King and Chaia King, died before their father of unrelated health problems. King continued to work into his late 80s, taking on online talk shows and infomercials. “Work,” he once said. “It’s the easiest thing I do.”
NBCSN Will Be Ending At Conclusion Of 2021 The NBC Sports Network, which is best known for its coverage of the NHL and English Premier League, will be going away at the end of the year. NBC Sports Chairman Pete Bevacqua announced the channel's shutdown on Friday in an internal memo to staff. “At the conclusion of 2021, we have decided that the best strategic next step for our Sports Group and the entire Company is to wind down NBCSN completely,” Bevacqua said in the memo. NBCSN is available in 80.1 million homes, according to
Nielsen's latest estimate, which is less than ESPN (83.1 million) and FS1 (80.2 million). The channel was launched by Comcast in 1995 as the Outdoor Life Network. It was best known for carrying the Tour de France until it acquired the NHL in 2005. It changed its name to Versus in 2006 and then to NBC Sports Network six years later after Comcast bought NBC Universal in 2011. Bevacqua said in the memo that Stanley Cup playoff games and NASCAR races would be moving to USA Network this year. USA Network,
which is available in 85.6 million homes, had already been airing early-round playoff games since 2012. “This will make USA Network an extraordinarily powerful platform in the media marketplace, and gives our sports programming a significant audience boost,” Bevacqua said. “We believe that the power of this offering is the best long-term strategy for our Sports Group, our partners, and our Company.” The news of NBCSN shutting down also comes during a time when many of NBC Sports Group’s most valuable
sports properties are coming up for renewal. This is the last season of a 10-year deal with the NHL and negotiations for the EPL rights, beginning with the 2022-23 season, are ongoing. Many have predicted that the next rights deal with the NHL will include multiple networks with former broadcast partners ESPN and Fox Sports expected to be in the mix. NBC's current deal averages $200 million per season. Premier League deals are usually for three years, but NBC secured a six-year package in 2015 by paying nearly
$1 billion. NASCAR, which has its races from July through November on NBC and NBCSN, has a deal through 2024. IndyCar's contract, which includes the Indianapolis 500 on NBC, expires at the end of this year. The sanctioning body said in a statement that NBC “has always been a transparent partner, and we were aware of this upcoming strategy shift." Tag Garson, Wasserman’s senior vice president of properties, said TNT and TBS have already proved it's possible to have a cable channel that does a good job of meshing enter-
tainment programming with sports. “NBC has done a great job with hockey and soccer that it would be hard for anyone to walk away from that,” he said. “How many windows can your fit sports programming into at USA? That’s where the internal discussions are going to be and understanding the right balance to have between sports and entertainment.” NBC could also put additional events on its Peacock streaming service, which debuted last year. There are 175 Premier League games airing on Peacock this season.

Josh Hawley Files “CounterMO Briefs... Complaint� Against Senate Dems C hild Kiilled d In Sh hootiin g ST. LOUIS (AP) — Sen. Josh Hawley on Monday filed a “counter-complaint� against seven Senate Democrats who are seeking an ethics investigation of the Missouri Republican. On Thursday, the Democrats asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate the actions of Hawley and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz “to fully understand their role� in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. A news release from Hawley's office accused the Democrats of “historic partisan abuse of the Senate ethics process." Hawley is asking the
committee to investigate the Democrats and take any disciplinary action deemed appropriate. Thousands gathered on Jan. 6 as Congress voted to formally certify President Joe Biden's victory over Trump in November. Hawley and Cruz led objections in the Senate to Biden's victory, despite the widespread recognition that the effort would fail. Thousands marched to the Capitol at Trump’s urging, overwhelmed security and interrupted the proceedings. Five people died, but Biden's win was certified hours later.

He’s busy killing critical infrastructure projects, like the Keystone XL pipeline, that support thousands of goodpaying American union jobs, strengthen our allies, and reduce our reliance on oil from Venezuela and the Middle East. It doesn’t have to be this way. The way to get things done is by working together. That’s how we’ve been able to get legislation important to North Missouri done, like the Water Resources Bill, which will help protect communities from flooding. Americans from all walks of life agree on the core issues that will help our country. We need to rebuild our infrastructure, we need to reopen our schools and businesses safely, and we need to rebuild our economy. President Biden, Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi have an opportunity to live up to the promise of unity that was made during the inaugural address yesterday. Based on day one’s Executive Orders, I’m not very confident that will happen. Regardless, I’m still ready to work on the issues that are affecting the American people and look forward to doing so this year.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A man and a young child have been killed in a shooting in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood, police there said. The Sunday night shooting killed a man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s and a girl believed to be 5- to 7 years old, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said. Investigators said both were inside a car when they were shot. The man died at the scene, and the girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said. Their names had not been released by early Monday morning. Police also had not released other details about possible suspects or what led to the shooting. The killings brought the city’s homicides to 16 since the start of the new year. The child’s death marked the city’s second homicide of the year of those under 17.

Several fire departments responded and firefighters say five people were inside the home. St. Louis County police say a 7-year-old child is hospitalized with critical but non lifethreatening injuries. An 18-month-old child and two adults are also hospitalized.

Trraiin Strike es Car KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A driver was fatally hit by a train in Kansas City after driving around lowered crossing arms in an apparent effort to beat the train, police there said. The crash happened just after 1 a.m. Sunday at 85th Street and Prospect Avenue, police said. Investigators said crossing arms were down and red caution lights were flashing when the car approached the crossing. The driver went around the arms and was hit by a southbound Union Pacific train, police said. The car was dragged about 60 feet (18.3 meters) until it was pushed into the gravel between a set of train tracks, police said. The car’s driver, who was not immediately identified, was declared dead at the scene.

Dear Readers: A number of you wrote in concerned about the woman who is Living With Scrooge, the husband who has plenty of money but keeps his wife on a tight budget and makes her life miserable. I suggested marriage counseling, which many readers agreed with, but an equal number feel that the horse has left the barn and I should have advised her to run for the hills. I would agree if there were an issue of physical safety, but that was not the case. Still, I find alternative opinions to be interesting and wanted to share some with you. Dear Annie: Please get back to this lady. By the tone of her letter and what was left unsaid, I'm sure she is being emotionally, and even perhaps physically, abused. I would definitely suggest that this lady leave Scrooge as soon as possible. She is suffering, and God knows what her insides (heart, liver and brain) must be like, slowly dying as well. My sister died at 65 because she didn't leave such a horrible man. Please, suggest that she
leave now. If she stays, it will only get worse. I have no accreditation in this field, but I know a bad situation when I read about it. Thanks, Annie. -- You Do So Much Good Dear Annie: I agree with your comment that dwelling on her daughter-in-law is a waste of time and energy. However, I believe that Living With Scrooge should seek the advice of an attorney rather than a marriage counselor at this point. The reader said nothing about having any affection for her husband and admitted that she made a huge mistake by marrying him. She needs to find out what the property division laws are in her state, and what assets her husband actually has, rather than depending on hearsay and snooping. -Reader in New Mexico Dear Annie: This lady does not need a marriage counselor. She needs a very strong divorce lawyer! Both must work together to find where his assets are located, i.e., bank accounts, investments and the

like. I am not familiar with the laws in Las Vegas and what she would be entitled to receive, but she is legally married to him and should be entitled to something. A petition for divorce should be filed as well as a document freezing all his assets. This is a marriage that is not worth saving under the circumstances described by her. It is toxic; she is treated poorly by her husband and the family, and she is dying inside. What is there to save? It is time for her to move forward. I send my prayers to her and wish her the very best. -- That Marriage Is Over Dear Readers: Thank you for your insights and suggestions. You make good points, though I am hopeful the marriage can be salvaged through marriage counseling if he goes with her. Remember, the woman who wrote in had her own job, bought her own house and was able to support herself before allowing Scrooge to change her life. If he refuses to go, then I agree that finding a good attorney to protect her would be the next logical step. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Poised to spend? Many Americans who are fortunate enough to have kept their jobs during the pandemic recession have been saving more. It’s a trend that could accelerate growth later this year if vaccines curb the virus and people open their wallets again. The savings rate is the proportion of Americans’ after-tax pay that they don’t spend. The rate briefly spiked early in the pandemic to nearly 34% — a record high — as nonessential businesses all but shut down. Relief checks of $1,200 and a $600-aweek federal unemployment benefit swelled many bank accounts. Though the savings
rate has since declined, it was still 12.9% in November. That was higher than any pre-pandemic savings rate since 1982, when the economy was also in recession. Americans have been spending far less on restaurants, vacations, movies and other services. Spending on cars, furniture and other goods has risen, though not enough to offset the drop in services spending. Most economists say that spending should jump as vaccinations spread. Bank of America foresees the economy growing 5% in 2021. That would be the highest such rate since 1984.

Schieber gave an update on activities for 2020, including the hospital’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the hospital saw the number of individuals hospitalized with COVID go from zero in the first and second quarters of the year to 14.1 at both WMH and Hedrick Medical Center during the fourth quarter. He praised the work of hospital personnel who found themselves taking on other responsibilities in addition to their regular jobs to help deal with the pandemic. Hospital personnel are currently being vaccinated for COVID and the hospital will be assisting local medical personnel with distribution of the vaccine when it becomes available for others
in the community. He noted that WMH has a great relationship with its partners in the community, including the county health department, first responders and law enforcement, private physicians, local nursing homes and the school district, among others. He also recognized the support of the community with its donations of various items throughout the year. Schieber said the hospital continues to be one of the largest employers in the community, with over 175 employees and providing salary/wages/benefits of $14.1 million.

In 1850, the Grand River College opened in Edinburg and was the first college west of the Mississippi River to admit and educate women. This college later closed in 1904; however, Trenton College was incorporated by the State of Missouri in 1857. Financial support grew for Trenton Junior College which opened in fall of 1925 and graduated its first class of 29 students in 1927. In 1928, TJC was incorporated into the Trenton school district and operated on the third floor of the Adams Building; Trenton schools conducted classes in Grades 1-12 on the bottom two floors. In 1967 the college and public school separated facilities with the college moving classes to the Geyer Hall building. Then, in 1988, the six-member Board of Trustees changed the name from TJC to North Central Missouri College, and residence halls were built in 1994-1997. The Barton Farm and Campus was added in 2011. NCMC has received several prestigious national rankings: “#3 Most Affordable Online Associate Degree in Nursing�, “#6 Best Online Associate Degree in Management�, “#6 Best Dental Hygiene Colleges in Missouri�, “#9 Best Nursing Schools in Missouri (RN)� and “#11 Online Pharmacy Tech Schools and Programs�. The next meeting of Trenton Lions Club will be at noon on Jan. 26. Steve Martin is the program chair.
