BRIEFS TFD Responds to Stove Fire

The Trenton Fire Department was dispatched at 9:11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 26, to 1200 Laclede Street for a fire. Upon arrival, Firefighter Wayne Brown said they found smoke showing from the garage. Firefighters found a small size fire near the wood burning stove, they deployed a water can to distinguish the small fire and embers near the stove.

There was minimal damage to the structure, owned by Rocky Dunkin and occupied by Joseph Herrity. The cause of the fire was overheating of the wood frame of the wood burning stove, causing the frame to ignite. TFD was on the scene for 30 minutes and was assisted by TPD and Grundy County EMS.

Senator Roy Blunt Designates Smart Rural Communities GRM Networks hosted U.S. Senator Roy Blunt on Tuesday, October 25, as he designated the cities of Princeton and Mercer, Missouri, as Smart Rural Communities.

Senator Blunt has been a strong advocate for legislative policy that has helped cultivate growth and advancement in the telecommunications and technology industries.

GRM Networks was nationally recognized as a Smart Rural Community Provider ® by industry association NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association for their ongoing efforts to deliver the best telecommunications services.

The Smart Rural Community program promotes rural broadband networks and broadband-enabled applications that are critical to rural communities to foster innovative economic development, education, telehealth, precision agriculture, work-from-home and other vital services.

Senator Blunt spoke to the importance of Smart Rural Communities noting many people like the appeal of rural lifestyles. “There are a lot of people that would like to live in communities like Princeton or Mercer, where school sports are still a big deal and church activities are a part of the community,” he said. “You may not know every kids name, but you have a pretty good idea where every kid lives and that makes a difference …

But that won’t happen the way it should happen, if you can’t be connected. The key to being able to do

that is connectedness.”

GRM Networks has worked with community members, economic development agencies, anchor institutions, and local governments to ensure that communities in their service area have equal opportunity for education, resources and entrepreneurship. “We are excited to announce the completion of our fiber build to the cities of Princeton and Mercer as Senator Blunt designates them Smart Rural Communities,” said Mitchell Bailey, CEO of GRM

Networks. “This designation signifies that every home and business in these areas has fiber access.”

GRM Networks has a long history of commitment to providing the highest level of service to their customers.

“We began fiber-to-the-premise service in 2009 when we received $61.8 million through the Broadband Initiative Program in the form of a combination of grants and loans,” said Bailey. That was followed in 2019 by a $41.6 million grant/loan from the [See Blunt, Page 2]

Is The Green Hills Women’s Shelter in Trenton Open or Not? In the past few months there have been questions arise from the citizens of Grundy County, regarding the operation of the Trenton Green Hills Women’s Shelter. People have asked if it was open and serving clients or are client’s being turned away due to structural issues with the building.?

There was an annual board meeting of the shelter, held in Jamesport on Tuesday, October 25.

This meeting was attended to report on the annual meeting and hopefully be able to get the answers to the questions.

The meeting began with the presentation of the audit report. There were no findings of internal or federal issues.

The board elected new officers and approved previous minutes. They discussed their August and September financials.

These financials saw an increase in expenses due to motel stay costs, repairs and maintenance, software maintenance, office supplies and the installation of generators for both locations. The installation of the generators and a bigger gas meter at Trenton should be completed by the [See Shelter, Page 2]

middle of November.

An update was given on minor changes to the employee handbook and donation policy. The board approved these changes. A bid for siding at the Cameron location was tabled until more information could be obtained from the bidders.

The board gave an update on the eight separate grants they have received.

The money has been spent on some of the grants and others will need to be spent within the next nine months.

The board went into a closed session with no announcement made.

It was after this closed session was finished the public was allowed to comment or ask questions.

The first question asked was if the Trenton location was open and receiving

Bailey reiterated the cooperatives commitment saying, “Our focus remains on our rural communities as we keep a vigilant eye

clients or if clients were being turned away. The board stated that the Trenton location is currently not housing clients, hence the extra expenses in motel stays, however clients are still receiving the same services available to all clients.

When asked if there was structural issues with the building which was why there were no clients being housed there. The board replied to this question by giving the name, company name and telephone number of their attorney in Saint Jospeh who could help answer that question.

The attorney was contacted on Wednesday October 26, and as of press time on Wednesday November 3 had not responded. We can hope that once the board sees this article, maybe a statement will be released to give the answers to the questions that the citizens of Grundy County deserve. on state and federal funding opportunities to assist in the continued construction of a fiber-to-the-premise network.

The signing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act last year appropriated more money specifically earmarked for broadband infrastructure.

“By the end of this year, we will have completed fiber-to-the-premise construction to 87 percent of our serving area”,said Bailey. “We are committed to fulfilling our pledge to bring fiber broadband to all our customers by the end of 2025.”

NCMC Nurses Save a Life

Vel Westbrook

Cydney Bestgen

Sophia Swink

North Central Missouri College Nursing Instructors Vel Westbrook, Sophia Swink, and Cydney Bestgen recently saved the life of a man on a plane while traveling back from a nursing conference.

On the plane, a woman sitting next to Vel couldn’t get her husband to wake up. The woman began saying to Vel to please help that she couldn’t wake up her husband. Vel immediately took action by checking his

pulse and beginning chest compressions. Vel yelled for an automated external defibrillator (AED) and her two colleagues, Sophia and Cydney, immediately stepped in to help Vel with CPR. The Nursing Instructor team applied oxygen and started the AED process, where the man slowly started to revive. The man was able to leave the plane alive to a waiting ambulance thanks to the quick thinking and

skills of three NCMC Nursing Instructors.

Vel is the Nursing Skills Lap Supervisor at the Trenton, Main Campus, and Sophia and Cydney are Nursing Instructors at the NCMC Maryville site. North Central Missouri College is incredibly proud of the heroic action and hearts of these three outstanding instructors.

Public Works Director Morey presented information he has collected on the aerator. He has received three bids: FTC Equipment- $193,525; Fluid Equipment- $291,120 and JCI- $296,640. Morey’s recommendation to the board was FTC Equipment not only for the cost savings but also for the quality, more accessibility to maintenance and parts availability. The board inquired if the bid included prevailing wage, Morey will look into that. The board agreed to accept the bid, if it includes prevailing wage.

Morey also reported there was a water main break at South Prospect and James last week and it was repaired immediately.

The new Clarifier is up and running and they will be doing some minor adjust-

ments to the flush valves.

In old business, questions were asked about the increase in Rest Easy Apartments monthly rental and if the City of Gallatin had increased a utility. Administrator Rains informed Mike Luna that the city had nothing to do with the increase in rental fees.

In new business, Mayor Ballew gave the oath of office to new City Clerk, Crystal Dorrel and appointed RG Curtis to fill the vacancy of West Aldermen. City Clerk Dorrel gave the oath of office to RG Curtis to fill the open position of West Aldermen.

cards for the City of Gallatin: Barbara Ballew-Mayor, Dan McCann- President of the board, Lance RainsCity Administrator and Crystal Dorrel-City Clerk.

NCMCAC Earns Reaccreditation The North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center has been awarded reaccreditation by National Children’s Alliance following an extensive application and site review process.

As the accrediting agency for Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) across the country, National Children’s Alliance awards various levels of accreditation and membership to centers responding to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient and put the needs of child victims of abuse first. Accreditation is the highest level of membership with National Children’s Alliance and denotes excellence in service provision.

Accredited CACs must undergo a reaccreditation process every five years to ensure that best practices are continually being applied. With accreditation standards being updated in 2017, reaccreditation this year reflects the North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy commitment to providing evidence-based methods practice.

The North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center was established in 2003, first accredited in 2004, re-accredited in 2010 and 2015 respectfully. The Center goes through the accreditation process every five years. Services provided include forensic interviews, advocacy and support, trauma counseling, multi-disciplinary team case reviews, case tracking, and medical referral for the rural Missouri counties of: Caldwell, Carroll, Daviess, Grundy, Harrison, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam, and Sullivan. The Center provided services to 218 children throughout 2021. Cases can take up to two years to reach resolution.

As an Accredited Member of National Children’s Alliance, the North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive, coordinated and compassionate services to victims of child

abuse.

National Children’s Alliance awards Accredited Membership based on a CAC’s compliance with 10 national standards of accreditation to ensure effective, efficient and consistent delivery of services to child abuse victims.

Accredited Members must utilize a functioning and effective multidisciplinary team approach to work collaboratively in child abuse investigation, prosecution and treatment.

National Children’s Alliance also considers standards regarding a center’s cultural competency and diversity, forensic interviews, victim support and advocacy, medical evaluation, therapeutic intervention, and child- focused setting.

“As an organization/team of individuals dedicated to responding to child abuse, we recognize the importance of maintaining Accredited status from National Children’s Alliance. Reaccreditation not only validates our organization’s dedication to proven effective approaches of child abuse intervention and prevention but also contributes to consistency across the Children’s Advocacy Center movement as a whole,” said Verna Kelsey, Executive Director of center.

“The North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center is to be commended for its continued commitment to effectively serve victims of child abuse. As the national association and accrediting body for Children’s Advocacy Centers across the country, our goal is to ensure that every victim of child abuse has access to high quality services that result from professional collaboration.

By requiring Accredited Centers to undergo reaccreditation every five years, we ensure that evidence-based practices are being implemented and the highest quality of service is being provided,” remarked Teresa Huizar, executive director of National Children’s Alliance.

YOU CAN’T LEGISLATE RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR As the country continues to digest the investigation of the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX in late May, including the lack of a timely response by law enforcement officers there, a couple of recent events in the news caught my eye.

The first occurred in St. Charles, in suburban St. Louis, where a convenience store clerk almost lost her life. During the early morning hours an attacker grabbed the clerk and held her at knifepoint while demanding money. Another customer in the store saw what was happening and went outside and retrieved his legal handgun from his vehicle and returned to the store where the attack was in progress. The assailant saw the man with the gun and headed toward him in a threatening manner and the customer shot and killed him, thereby saving the clerk from probably being killed or severely injured.

The second incident occurred in Greenwood, IN, at a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall. A man assembled a rifle from his backpack in a restroom and then entered a food court where he began randomly firing at shoppers assembled in the area. Three people were killed and two were injured before a LEGALLY ARMED, RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN, shot and killed the attacker before more lives could have been lost.

Why don’t these events get the same media play as the mass school shootings?

I believe trained and armed citizens, along with armed personnel in our schools, churches and other large gathering places, would help stop the tragedies around the country which are occurring all too often.

That’s the reason these psychopaths target these places for their crimes. They know there is no one there to defend them.

At the recent sentencing trial for the gunman in the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, FL, student Danielle Gilbert testified, “we could hear the shooting and all we could do was hide. We had no way to protect ourselves.”

Our politicians react by wanting to pass more restrictive gun laws which only impact citizens who are already obeying the law. Someone intent on committing murder is not really worried about an unlawful gun possession charge.

Getting some people mental health assistance is a step in the right direction but as we saw in Highland Park, IL on July 4th, red flag laws are also not foolproof.

I remember being in high school when we all went to school with guns in our vehicles so we could go hunting after the final bell and most of

LOCAL

the time, our vehicles were unlocked. It seemed to me we had just as many flakes as we do now but I think people then understood that any action would be followed by a swift and deadly reaction.

There’s just no way to legislate responsible behavior. You either act responsibly or you don’t and persons not acting in a responsible manner should be held accountable for their actions...but, too often in this country, they aren’t.

Outlawing guns will not solve the mass shooting problem. We’ve made drugs illegal but they’re still prevalent in our communities.

Once every 52 minutes someone is killed by a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs and in 2018, 36,835 persons were killed by a DUI driver.

That’s a pretty significant number compared to what we’re talking about. But I see no one calling to ban automobiles or make the driving of them more restrictive.

And also recently, two brothers in Canada were involved in a mass stabbing that killed 10 people and injured eighteen others. But where is the great cry from legislators to ban knives as there has been with guns? Guns, knives and automobiles are all just instruments of death used by irresponsible people. *********************************** Saw this bumper sticker recently and hadn’t seen it in a while, but it still speaks the truth: If guns kill people, then pencils fail tests and spoons make people overweight.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I broke my hip in July and have had a little trouble getting around. Walking long distances is a challenge but I can do it. On the Friday night that Gallatin traveled to Trenton to play football I went to watch.

I knew I would have to travel to the other side of the field to be with Gallatin fans.

So I had my weather pod, chair and purse and was ready to make the trek to the other side of the field.

Two young ladies were taking admission money as I came through the gate, not realizing that Trenton had opened a gate closer to our side of the field. One of the young ladies jumped up and took some of my gear and carried it to the other side for

me. I was impressed and grateful for her help.

On Monday evening I was back for the junior high football game. I was carrying the same stuff but decided to set my pod up on Trenton’s side of the field because it was cold and I didn’t want to walk all the way around. Thank you Alicia Endicott for your help.

After the game, I was trying to get my unfolded pod back to the car and a gentleman from Trenton picked it up and carried it for me.

I have said all this to say “Thank You” to those kind people. I don’t care which side you were rooting for , these Trenton fans went out of their way to help. Thank you all so much!

Wright Memorial Hospital Wright Memorial Hospital delivers high-quality health care to Grundy County and the surrounding communities. Founded in 1903, Wright Memorial Hospital opened a new, state-of-the-art facility in 2011 and is a Joint Commission-accredited hospital.

The 25-bed acute care hospital offers comprehensive care, including a 24-hour emergency department staffed by board-certified physicians, inpatient and outpatient diagnostic testing, 3-D mammography, inpatient and outpatient surgery, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, Senior Life Solutions, a specialty clinic featuring dozens of specialties including Cardiology, Ear, Nose, and Throat, Oncology, and Podiatry, among others, and primary care offices adjoining the facility.

Visitors to Wright Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Department benefit from lifesaving heart and stroke protocols developed by the world-renowned Saint Luke’s Mid-America Heart Institute and Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute.

Being the only hospital in Grundy County, the hospital and clinics create jobs for the community and give back through donations and sponsorships.

In 2021 alone, Wright Memorial Hospital provided $951,950 in charity care, $20,015 in donations and

sponsorships, 210 free student sports physicals, and $15,845,111 in salaries and benefits. Jordan Ferguson, Marketing Director, said “We are a faithbased organization as well as a not-for-profit organization. We are dedicated to enhancing the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the diverse communities we serve.”

Wright Memorial Hospital was awarded the prestigious Guardian of Excellence Award by Press Ganey in both 2019 and 2020 for reaching the 95th percentile for clinical quality.

In 2021, Wright Memorial Hospital earned a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, making Wright Memorial the only five-star rated Critical Access Hospital in the state of Missouri at that time. Wright Memorial is accredited by The Joint Commission, which is the premier accreditation agency for health care facilities. Only nine out of 35 Critical Access Hospitals in the state of Missouri have achieved The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® Accreditation. Jordan Ferguson said, “We have a great staff with a lot of really hard workers who provide excellent care to our patients.”

Wright Memorial Hospital is continuing to expand and grow its market footprint and the services they offer,

but also continually looking at what new services they can bring to meet the needs of the community.

They are always looking for new ways to adapt to changing technology, such as telemedicine and virtual visits. Jordan said, “technology is a huge driver of change in health care always, and as part of Saint Luke’s Health System, we’ve been able to stay on the forefront of those changes much better than most smaller, rural hospitals. Additionally, as there is a major shortage of health care workers nationwide, technology advances continue to help us adapt and thrive despite staffing challenges in some areas.”

The hospital has many partnerships within the community and is always interested in partnering with local businesses if they have a health need identified in their workforce.

Jordan went on to say, “ our partnership with North Central Missouri College is a huge benefit to our ability to recruit nurses and other health care workers, so that relationship has helped us to adapt to the current landscape of health care. Also, having a great team in place helps tremendously.”

The Employee of the Quarter Award recognizes an employee who provides exemplary service, going beyond the call of duty to support fellow employees or to comfort or assist patients and their families.

She is dedicated to great patient care, and she is excellent at explaining details to patients in a way they can understand. Kim never leaves a task unfinished and completes high quality work in a timely manner. She is positive, kind, and a team player who steps up to help others without being asked.”

In recognition of the award, Hamilton received an Employee of the Quarter certificate, the parking space of her choice for three months, her photo posted in the hospital, her name engraved on a plaque displayed in the hospital, and recognition in local media.

COMMUNITY Bright Futures Trenton Recognizes Volunteers and Champions of the Year Bright Futures Trenton held their annual volunteer recognition luncheon on Friday, October 21st to provide program highlights, new initiatives, and recognize the Champions of the year. Each year, the Bright Futures Trenton Advisory Board honors outstanding volunteers who go above and beyond to further the efforts of Bright Futures Trenton by being a champion to a child. During their luncheon, they honored a “Partner of the Year” and a “Champion of the Year.”

Selected as Bright Futures Trenton Partner of the year for 2022 was Grundy County Electric Cooperative. From the nomination, “ When the General Manager stepped up to be a lunch buddy at Rissler Elementary, he saw the need so many students have for connection with a positive adult role model. With his encouragement, several employees stepped up and became vital volunteers for the Lunch Buddy initiative and continue their mentoring partnership today.

We see large groups of their employees at High Five Fridays on a regular basis, greeting students as they arrive at school with a smile and a high five. They were one of the firsts to host the Kiwanis Terrific Kids in February 2020, inviting them to their business to learn about the honesty character trait and provide an activity and lesson for the students. At the high school level, they are involved with the Work for Success initiative, providing work experience opportunities for high school students enrolled in dual credit courses. Yet another employee serves on the Advisory Board as Chair

Elect.”

The 2022 Champion of the Year was Tash Dowell.

From the nomination, “The Champion of the Year has been volunteering with the Back-to-School event for several years. She is a master at engaging students in conversation and pumping them up for having a great year. In 2022, she joined the Back-to-School Event Planning Team.

As a member of this team, she helped with all aspects of the backpacks and school supplies portion of the event. This involved the inventory, shopping, packing, transporting and distribution of supplies for the event. She has been so passionate about how this event helps to elevate the self-esteem of students in our school that she encouraged the THS Gilded (the drama club at THS which she sponsors) to join her in packing supplies for distribution. She is to be commended for her leadership and mentorship of these THS students. Together they packed 221 sets of school supplies. She also serves on the THS Site Council.”

Bright Futures Trenton is a non-profit organization that brings together faithbased organizations, human services agencies, and businesses in partnership with families and schools for a shared purpose: to quickly meet basic needs and create new opportunities for children and youth so they can succeed in school and beyond.

Bright Futures is currently collecting new hoodies and socks for distribution to local children. To donate, or learn more about Bright Futures Trenton, visit Bright Futures Trenton on Facebook.

Meta meltdown?

Things are not going well for Facebook a year after it changed its name to Meta Platforms Inc. Its revenue declined last quarter for the second time in company history, hurt by falling advertising sales amid recession fears and competition from TikTok’s wildly popular video app.

The quarter’s weak results raised fresh questions about whether Meta’s plans to spend $10 billion a year on the metaverse — a concept that doesn’t quite exist yet and possibly never will — is prudent while its main source of revenue is faltering.

Wary investors sent Meta's shares to their lowest level since 2015 the day after the earnings report.

Insider Intelligence analyst Debra Aho Williamson said Meta would benefit from less focus on the metaverse and more on its core business.

“To return to stronger growth, Meta needs to turn its business around,” Aho Williamson said. “As Facebook Inc., it was a revolutionary company that changed the way people communicate and the way marketers interact with consumers. Today it’s no longer that innovative groundbreaker.”

Meta also forecast weaker sales for the current quarter than analysts expected, raising worries that the revenue slump is more of a trend than an aberration.

Meta quarterly revenue $35 bil.

Meta falters: The tech giant posted its second quarterly revenue decline in history—and things are not looking good for the rest of the year.

By: Libby Endicott RT Sports Reporter The Bulldogs played their last game of the 202223 season last Friday night at C.F. Russell Stadium.

The district quarterfinal game began with Trenton kicking the ball to Lawson.

They get stopped at the Cardinal 40-yard line.

The teams started with an offset penalty flags against both sides.

On Lawson’s third and seven Coleman Griffin intercepted the ball and was able to steal a couple yards on the return.

Trenton had the ball but couldn’t make their way down the field. The Bulldogs punted the ball down the field to the Cardinal 6yard line.

Lawson took a time out and eventually punted the ball down the field.

On the next Bulldog possession, Trenton was able to gain the first down. A few incomplete passes by the Bulldogs allowed the Cardinals to take over on downs.

Gallatin Football Update The Gallatin Bulldogs have had two weeks off from games since Princeton had to forfeit due to lack of players. This not only affected Gallatin’s regular season game, but also their first game of districts as they where supposed to play the Tigers.

Gallatin will be playing Brookfield in the semifinals of District play. Gallatin potentially will be playing their next three games at home, as long as they win. The Bulldogs record still stands at 9-0 . The other two teams on the opposite side of bracket are Milan and Putnam Co.
