BY DAVE MATTER ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Editor’s Note: This story was written by Dave Matter of the St. Louis PostDispatch last week before the Super Bowl was played. Andy Hill, the story’s subject, is a 1980 Trenton High School graduate. While Missouri celebrated the formal introduction of its new football coach, Andy Hill was cleaning out his office. It was Dec. 10, 2019. Eli Drinkwitz had just wrapped up his first press conference as the Tigers’ new head coach. That same day, once the mob of fans, Mizzou staff and media left the sparkling new football facility at Memorial Stadium, Hill quietly followed out a side door, pushing a cart that carried jerseys, books, framed pictures and other memories collected over two decades of coaching at his alma mater. Hill, an integral piece to Mizzou’s three prior coaching staffs over the last 24 seasons, wasn’t part of Drinkwitz’s plans going forward. An institution at Mizzou for nearly a quarter century, Hill had logged the second-most continuous years on Mizzou’s staff in the program’s history, behind only Clay Cooper, a coaching fixture from 1947-75. If anyone would carry on the nickname Mr. Mizzou, bestowed on the late John Kadlec, a presence around the program for decades, it always figured to be Hill. But as he emptied his office that afternoon, Hill’s coaching career had expired.

The Grundy County Commission will meet in regular session today (Tuesday) at the courthouse. The only item listed on the announced agenda was consideration of a Gun Rights Sanctuary County Ordinance. That issue was to be discussed at 8:30 a.m.

Finance Committee Agenda

R-T Photo/Wendell Lenhart

Andy Hill, a 1980 Trenton High School graduate, joined the Kansas City Chiefs aa a special teams assistant coach ahead of this season after a long tenure at the University of Missouri.

Or so he figured. Needing less than one more year at Mizzou to be eligible for a full retirement package, Hill had some offers to stay on campus in non-coaching roles and eventually agreed to join the athletics department’s fundraising office. For about a month, that was Hill’s plan. “And then,” he said, “this came about.”

This was a dream job. Last February, a spot opened on the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs’ staff when assistant special teams coach Rod Wilson left for a job at South Carolina. The Chiefs’ special teams coordinator was Dave Toub, a former Mizzou assistant and longtime friend. Of course, [See HILL, Page 3]

The Finance Committee of the Trenton City Council will hold a meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday at city hall. The only item listed on the agenda is continuing work on the 2021 city budget. The meeting will not physically be open to the public but can be accessed at Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86264370687.

Township Meeting Friday

The annual meeting of township officials from Grundy County will be held Friday, Feb. 12. The meeting, which will begin at 6:30 p.m., will be held at the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri (formerly known as the Green Hills Community Action Agency). The distribution of CART rock and other transportation issues will be discussed.

It has been a trying year for the Trenton High School basketball teams. Match-ups with Macon and Stanberry did little to offer a reprieve. On Thursday, Macon spoiled Trenton’s senior night with a pair of victories on the Bulldogs’ home floor, taking the girls game 56-32 and the boys game 82-30. Twenty-four hours later, Stanberry was the menace, defeating Trenton’s girls 53-31 and its boys 62-30 - on Courtwarming night, no less. GIRLS Despite Trenton’s best efforts, Macon was simply too much for the Bulldogs to handle on Thursday. The visiting Tigers entered the game with an 18-1 record on the season and it showed early as the Tigers outscored Trenton 17-7 in the first quarter and 16-6 in the second. With offense already an area of concern for the Bulldogs, the home team wasn’t going to get a lot of points against Macon’s defense. The defeat didn’t blind girls coach Kameron Cool to what Trenton was able to do in the game, however. “We competed as hard as we have all season,” Cool said. “That’s a really good team and, even though the final score doesn’t necessarily show it, the girls did so many good things tonight.” Trenton was paced by nine points from Chandler Lynch in the loss while Madi Moore added eight. Jenna Reeter had five points, Mikensy Golden

had three and Gracyn Rongey and Mallory Sole each had two points apiece. Teya Cooksey, Jena Harris and Rebecca Urich all had one point each to round out Trenton’s total. The following night Stanberry ran out to a 12-6 lead in the first quarter and simply scored at a rate the Bulldogs could not keep up with. By halftime the advantage had grown to 28-13. Trenton cut into the deficit a bit in the third quarter but Stanberry responded in the final frame, pulling away for the 22-point win. Moore paced Trenton with nine points while Cooksey had eight and Lynch and Urich each scored five. Two points each for Sole and Rongey rounded out the Bulldogs’ total. With the two losses, Trenton fell to 6-13 overall on the season. BOYS For one quarter Trenton held its head above water against the Macon Tigers. But for the visitors, the 22-13 lead they held over their hosts was sim-

ply a slow start. Macon caught its stride in the second quarter and reeled off 31 unanswered points to carry a commanding 53-13 lead into the locker room at halftime. Trenton avoided an equally rough frame in the third and fourth quarters, but the Bulldogs were still outscored handily in each of the closing periods as Macon cruised to the dominating victory. Brycin Loyd led Trenton with 15 points while Chase Otto added 10 in the loss. Five points from Dylan Spencer rounded out the team’s total. Friday, Stanberry Trenton again remained competitive early, trailing just 13-9 one

quarter into the contest. Stanberry began to put some distance between it and the home squad with a 16-7 second quarter run, but the 23-4 third quarter run is what put Trenton away. Chase Otto led Trenton with nine points while Loyd had seven and Tucker Otto scored six. Preston Harris had four points while Brayden Sager and Spencer each scored two. The Trenton boys fell to 314 on the season with the loss. UP NEXT The Bulldogs will travel to face Meadville on Wednesday. Action tips off with the girls game at 6 p.m. and the boys contest will follow.

After a 1-2 start to the season, the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team is starting to gel. The Pirate women picked up home victories on Thursday and Saturday, pushing their current winning streak to four games and their overall record to 5-2. Saturday saw North Central jump on visiting North Platte Community College early with a 26-15 first quarter run. The Pirates would only pad that lead by four points over the next two frames, but the way the defense was playing, that wasn’t a problem. North Central stifled the visitors, limiting North Platte to just eight points over the game’s final 10 minutes, allowing it to cruise to the 23-point victory. Kennedie Kieffer led the Pirates with 15 points while Lily Osborn followed with 14 points. Nora Ford continued to give the Pirates a spark at point guard, starting for the third-straight game. She tallied 10 points to go with seven assists. Ford began starting when North Central’s All-American guard Kortlyn Rounkles was forced to quarantine after being a close contact to a positive COVID-19 case. She did return Saturday, scoring two points and handing out three assists off the bench for the Pirates. Kennadie Crowe had nine points and seven rebounds and

Angel Wiggins came off the bench for nine points as well. Thursday’s opponent offered little resistance as North Central ran up triple digits on the visiting Missouri Valley College junior varsity, winning 101-56. The Pirates raced out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter and held a 52-33 lead at the break. The game was in hand at that point, but the Pirates went on a 30-9 run to open the second half, leading to the lopsided final. “This season is so strange,” North Central coach Jenni Croy said. “It’s February and in a normal year we would hopefully be playing our best ball right now. With this season, February feels like November for us. We are still learning each other’s styles of play and such. I feel like with each game we are getting better and seeing what our players are capable of. It’s nice to know we have so many girls that can step up on any given day.” North Central’s bench led the way as Wiggins came on to score a game-high 20 points with four steals and Maci Moore added 18 points and seven rebounds. Crowe led North Central’s starters, scoring 14 points while Brittney McKay scored 13 and Osborn added 10 points and four assists. Ford finished with seven points, seven assists and five steals and Kieffer had seven points and seven rebounds. The Pirates will return to the court tonight (Tuesday) traveling to Fort Scott Community College. Tip off is set for 5:30. NCMC will be at home on Saturday, playing host to Mineral Area in a women’s-men’s doubleheader at the Ketcham Community Center. Action begins at 2 p.m. with the women’s game and the men’s contest will follow at 4 o’clock.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Way ahead, it looked as if No. 18 Missouri might beat 10th-ranked Alabama in a laugher. The joke was almost on the Tigers. Dru Smith and Missouri built a 22-point lead in the second half, then held off a frantic rally by the Crimson Tide for a 6865 victory on Saturday. The Tigers held their largest lead with 13:05 left and were still up by 20 with less than six minutes remaining. “Our guys started settling, because they looked at the score instead of finishing the game on the floor,” Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin said. “You can’t do that with this level of team. But on the flip side, tremendous execution defensively down the stretch on the last possessions.” Missouri's only points down the stretch came on four free throws. The Crimson Tide started scoring on nearly every possession and Herb Jones had two chances to give Alabama the lead in the final 20

seconds, but he missed a layup and had another try blocked by Mitchell Smith. The Crimson Tide had one last chance to tie it, but Jaden Shackelford’s contested 3-pointer at the buzzer missed. “We’re a bunch of gritty types of dudes, and it starts at the top,” Mitchell Smith said. Dru Smith had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Tigers (13-3, 6-3 Southeastern Conference). Kobe Brown added 13 points and nine rebounds, and Mark Smith finished with 12 points. Shackelford scored 15 to lead Alabama (15-5, 10-1 SEC), whose first conference loss was almost an incredible comeback victory. “We couldn’t have asked for a much better effort in the last 13 minutes,” coach Nate Oats said. “If we get that effort for 40 minutes, we win the game.” The Tigers built their lead by outrunning the Crimson Tide in transition and outmuscling them inside. Missouri finished with 46 points in the paint. Alabama is a volume 3-point shooting team, and when the Crimson Tide missed, Missouri started fast breaks with long rebounds. The Tigers scored 13 fast-break points in the first half and took a 44-28 lead at intermission. It got worse before it got better for Alabama, which got 12 points apiece from Jaden Quinerly and Keon Ellis. Alex Reese and James Rojas missed dunks for

the Crimson Tide and the team was just 11 of 23 on layup attempts and only 12 of 21 on free throws. “Your at-the-rim finishing percentage can’t be 50%,” Oats said. BIG PICTURE Alabama: Despite the loss, the Crimson Tide remain in firm control of the SEC race and have a good opportunity to pull away from the pack in the next two weeks with four straight games against teams in the bottom half of the standings. Missouri: The Tigers, who were picked 10th in the SEC preseason poll, are alone in second place in the league. The victory over Alabama was Missouri’s third this season against a team ranked in the AP top 10 at the time of the game. MR. VERSATILITY Mitchell Smith is a wiry 6-foot-10 reserve forward whose value to Missouri is not always evident in the box score. Brown called Smith “a Swiss Army knife” because he can do so many things, and Martin had his own product comparison. “Mitch is like the American Express Card,” Martin said. “You can’t leave home without him.” UP NEXT Alabama: The Crimson Tide travel to South Carolina on Tuesday. Missouri: The Tigers visit Mississippi on Wednesday.

Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girls Reach End At Districts Yoder Comes Up Just Short Of Advancing After Overtime Loss Allison Yoder left everything on the mat. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only returning girls wrestler from last season and captain on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team found herself in the bubble match at 159 Saturday at the Class 1, District 8 wrestling tournament at MidBuchanan High School in Faucett. She fought into overtime in that match, but ultimately fell by a 6-4 sudden victory

decision, putting an end to her season just shy of sectionals. Yoderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament started with a loss by fall to a Polo opponent on Friday, but she came back Saturday, picking up a pin late in the third period of her consolation bracket match against Kearneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emma Powell. That put her in the bubble match against Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clarissa Kissire who got the final points in overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Allison) is tough on the mat and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up,â&#x20AC;? Trenton girls wrestling coach Kaycee Terhune said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is willing to learn and try new things, as well as offer help to the other girls as they need it.â&#x20AC;? Also in action for Trenton at the tournament was Mercy Schwiezer, who was 0-2 at 117 pounds. She was pinned Friday then

bowed out with a loss by fall late in the third period of her wrestleback match on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mercy had never wrestled before this year and has shown great improvement through this season,â&#x20AC;? Terhune said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a fighter and always willing to work hard to improve. She always has a positive attitude and great work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both wrestlers gave their all during the district tournament. I am very proud of how they wrestled this weekend and am looking forward to what the future holds for these girls.â&#x20AC;?

Hill Jumped At Chance To Join Chiefs [HILL, from Page 1] Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has Mizzou ties, too, having coached the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive line in the early 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually tried to talk him out of the job,â&#x20AC;? Toub said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I told him how much hard work it is and how much he would have to go back to doing graduate assistant type work.â&#x20AC;? Hill, 59, jumped at the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When this thing came about,â&#x20AC;? Hill said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I talked to Coach Toub and Andy Reid, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a football coach. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to continue to be one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? A year later, the favorite son of Trenton, Missouri, works for his childhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite team and, even better, the Chiefs are headed to a second straight Super Bowl, facing the Buccaneers on Sunday in Tampa, Florida, in Super Bowl 55. Not a bad rookie year in the NFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A year and a half ago I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said this would be happening,â&#x20AC;? said Hill, who coached Mizzou wide receivers for the bulk of his 24 seasons, then served as Barry Odomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special teams coordinator from 2018-19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fairly entrenched at Missouri and had done a good job over time, so you think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue on through retirement. But ... things change.â&#x20AC;? The Chiefs have always been close to Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. When he turned 8 years old in 1970 the Chiefs had just won the Super Bowl and for his birthday he got a Chiefs Super Bowl sweatshirt that he treasured for years. Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would make summer pilgrimages to William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, to watch Chiefs training camp.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom was a big Lenny Dawson fan,â&#x20AC;? he said. After a college career catching passes at Mizzou, Hill turned down a handful of NFL tryouts in favor of an audition with the Chiefs. Thirty-five years later, he (finally) joined the franchise. Hill will be one of several folks with Mizzou ties involved in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Buccaneers: â&#x20AC;˘ Reid was MUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line coach from 1989-91, coming to MU from Texas-El Paso under head coach Bob Stull. â&#x20AC;˘ Toub, Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant head coach and special teams coordinator, also made the move from UTEP to Mizzou in 1989 and served as Stullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning coach, a job he kept under Larry Smith until taking over as defensive line coach when Curtis Jones suffered a fatal heart attack shortly before the 1998 season. Toub has spent the last 20 years in the NFL, the last eight in Kansas City. â&#x20AC;˘ Yasir Durant, the Chiefs undrafted rookie offensive lineman has appeared in 11 games this season with one start. â&#x20AC;˘ Blaine Gabbert, in his 10th NFL season, the Bucs quarterback from St. Louis and Parkway West is Tom Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s started 48 games over his career and thrown 50 touchdown passes for the Jaguars, 49ers, Cardinals, Titans and now the Bucs. â&#x20AC;˘ Brad Berlin, Tampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head equipment manager and Marshall, Missouri, native held the same role at Mizzou in the 1990s and various other positions in the athletics department earlier in his career. For Hill, a dream job isn't necessarily an easy job. NFL

staffs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resemble the outsized college versions that employ countless analysts, quality control coaches and student assistants on hand to handle all the minutia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On our staff, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just him and I (handling special teams),â&#x20AC;? Toub said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you have to get along with that guy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that we do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we get along really great.â&#x20AC;? During the season, Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly routine started every Monday with two days of studying film of the upcoming opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four special teams units: punt, punt return, kickoff and kickoff return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually teams will have between four and seven guys that are on all four phases, so I spend a lot of my time getting to know them, writing detailed reports about what they do and how they play and try and get our guys knowledgeable as we go into the week,â&#x20AC;? he said. On game days, assistant coaches can work with iPads on the field to review plays and cook up adjustments for the next special teams play. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job working alongside Toub on the sideline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hours are pretty much the same, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably more of a grind in the NFL in the sense that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all football,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no study hall or class checks or anything like that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a pretty great time, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

worked with a better coaching staff.â&#x20AC;? While Hill has lived in Kansas City during the season, his wife, Sarah, and their kids, Tricia and Andrew, stayed back in Columbia. The family comes to Arrowhead Stadium for home games, and when the Chiefs play away games, Hill will sneak home to Columbia for Friday night dinners. Otherwise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of FaceTime conversations during the week. At Mizzou, Hill worked closely with some of the greatest quarterbacks in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, from Corby Jones to Brad Smith, from Chase Daniel to Drew Lock. For the last year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had an up-close view of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transcendent star at the position. Nearly 30 years in coaching hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dulled Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy for the job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not when you share a field with Patrick Mahomes every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see his physical ability on the practice field,â&#x20AC;? Hill said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a mask on, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of times behind the mask Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just laughing at the stuff he can do.â&#x20AC;? Laughing all the way, perhaps, to a Super Bowl ring.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrick Mahomes has always seemed to save his best work for the most important down. With the ability to scramble and improvise with his legs and make magic with his arm, Mahomes has made a habit of demoralizing opponents by turning bad situations on third down into drive-extending ones for Kansas City. Those big plays fueled the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success the past three seasons. The lack of them doomed Kansas City in the Super Bowl when Mahomes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete a single thirddown pass until late in the fourth quarter of a 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. The Chiefs came into the game having converted 49.5% of their third-down tries this season for the second-best mark in the NFL. Mahomes posted an impressive 117.1 rating this season on third downs and has a league-best 113.8 for his career. Mahomes missed his first eight passes on third downs and finished 4 for 12 for 46 yards and an interception for an 11.1 rating that was fourth worst on third downs in the past 30 Super Bowls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a good game plan,â&#x20AC;? Mahomes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kind of took away our deep stuff, took away the sidelines

and did a good job rallying to the football and making tackles. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t executing early, had a few miscues and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the same page.â&#x20AC;? Mahomes converted Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first third-down attempt of the game when he scrambled for 11 yards on third-and7. The Chiefs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert another until they were down 22 points more than halfway through the fourth quarter. What followed were eight straight third-down incompletions by Mahomes, who was repeatedly forced on the run behind Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuryriddled offensive line, and given no help from his receivers. On Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second drive of the game, Mahomes ran around and launched a deep ball that hit Tyreek Hill in the face mask and fell incomplete near the goal line. That led to the first of three field goals for the Chiefs. Two drives later, the usually reliable Travis Kelce dropped a third-down pass, leading to the Chiefs' third punt in the first four drives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge dropped pass,â&#x20AC;? Kelce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that point a lot of momentum was on their side. It was tough sledding from there.â&#x20AC;? Mahomes had to throw a ball away on a third down late in the first half that set up a second field goal. It gave Tom Brady and the Bucs time to drive down to a late TD that made it 21-6 at the break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are the two most important parts of the field,â&#x20AC;? Mahomes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were just better than us today. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to say. They executed at a high level defensively and they made adjustments.â&#x20AC;?

LOCAL Slick Roads Lead To Fatal Accident On County Line

the east part of town. Feb. 3: officers responded to a motor vehicle accident in the west part of town. Feb. 4: a motor vehicle accident was reported in the east part of town. Feb. 5: officers responded to

Two Sustain Serious Injuries In Highway 65 Incident Two persons had to be transported to a Liberty hospital by helicopter following an accident blamed on black ice Thursday evening. According to Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. D.R. Reuter’s report, the accident occurred when a sport utility vehicle driven by Madison L. Searcy of Trenton was southbound on Highway 65, one mile south of the intersection with Highway 6. Ms. Searcy had the cruise control activated on her vehicle and struck a patch of black ice. The vehicle began to slide and she lost control of it, crossing the center of the roadway and striking a northbound sport utility vehi-

cle driven by Daniel P. Burch of Princeton head on. Ms. Searcy’s vehicle came to rest partially on the southbound lane of the roadway on its wheels, facing east, while Burch’s SUV came to rest off the east side of the roadway on its wheels, facing west. Burch and a passenger in Ms. Searcy’s vehicle, Trenton resident Courtney Weyer, both sustained serious injuries. He was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital by Mercer County Ambulance and she was taken by Grundy County Ambulance to Wright Memorial, with both then transported by LifeFlight Eagle to Liberty Hospital. Ms. Searcy and an-

other passenger in her vehicle, Noah Lewis of Trenton, both sustained minor injuries and were transported by Grundy County Ambulance to Wright Memorial for treatment. They were both reportedly wearing seat belts at the time of the crash, as was Burch. Both vehicles were totaled in the accident. In addition to the two ambulance departments, Cpl. Reuter was assisted at the scene by the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, the Trenton Police Department, the Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District and the Trenton Fire Department.

A Trenton woman lost her life in a three-vehicle accident investigated Thursday morning on Highway 6, four miles east of Jamesport on the Grundy-Daviess county line. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, 56-yearold Valerie Johnson of Trenton sustained fatal injuries in the accident and was pronounced dead at Cameron Regional Medical Center after being transported there by Daviess County Ambulance. The mishap occurred when the truck in which she was a passenger, driven by Kenneth E. Talley of Trenton, was eastbound on Highway 6 and began sliding on the pavement. Talley’s truck side-swiped a car driven by Barbara A. Wagler of Trenton, which was westbound on Highway 6. Tal-

ley further lost control of the truck, crossed the center line and entered the westbound lane. Devin L. Burkhiser of Unionville was the driver of a sport utility vehicle that was also westbound on Highway 6 and although he attempted to avoid a collision, his vehicle was struck head-on by Talley’s truck. The truck came to rest on its wheels, facing east on the westbound shoulder, while Ms. Wagler was able to stop her vehicle on the shoulder of the westbound lane. Burkhiser’s vehicle came to rest on its wheels, blocking the westbound lane of traffic, facing north. Burkhiser and a passenger in his vehicle, Amber Burkhiser Of Unionville, were transported by Daviess County Ambulance to Wright Memo-

rial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, while Talley was transported by Grundy County Ambulance to Wright Memorial Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Ms. Wagler, who along with the Burkhisers was wearing a seat belt, was not reported injured and her vehicle, although sustaining extensive damage, was driven from the scene. The Burkhiser and Talley vehicles were both totaled and had to be towed from the scene. The accident was investigated by Sgt. Doug Little and Sgt. H.A. Sears, with assistance from Trooper J.P. Lynch, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, Daviess County Sheriff’s Department, Jamesport First Responders and the Jamesport Ambulance District.

Several Mishaps Occur Over Weekend In Trenton The Trenton Police Department investigated three accidents late last week, including a two-vehicle accident Feb. 4 near the intersection of Ninth and Main streets. According to the accident report filed by Officer Luke Dapra, a sport utility vehicle driven by Lewis D. Berry of Galt was southbound on Main Street when Berry failed to see that a sport utility vehicle driven by Randy Bowden of Trenton was stopped in congested traffic at the stop light intersection with Ninth Street. Berry attempted to stop, but could not, and struck Bowden’s vehicle from behind, causing minor damage to the Bowden vehicle. Berry’s SUV was not damaged and no injuries were reported. Another accident investigated Feb. 4, resulted from slick roadways. According to Lt. Larry Smith’s accident re-

port, the mishap occurred at the intersection of Ninth Street and Harris Avenue when a car driven by Devin McCray of Gallatin was southbound on Harris Avenue, approaching the intersection with Ninth Street. As she attempted to apply her brakes at the intersection, her vehicle slid on the roadway and her vehicle struck a tractor-trailer rig driven by Anthony C. Terry of Tolar, TX, which was westbound on Ninth Street. Ms. McCray’s vehicle sustained extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene, while the semi sustained only minor damage to the impact guard on the passenger side of the towed unit. A passenger in Ms. McCray’s vehicle sustained a bloody nose and was evaluated by an off-duty Grundy County paramedic. It was noted that Grundy County EMS was not

available to respond to the mishap due to a serious motor vehicle accident that had occurred outside the city limits at the same time. No tickets were issued in the accident. A driver was ticketed in an accident investigated by Officer Dapra on Feb. 5 at the intersection of Ninth and Main streets. According to his report, the mishap occurred when a semi driven by Jeffrey P. Horsch was northbound on Main Street and turned east to travel onto Ninth Street. He turned the vehicle too sharply and struck a street light support with the passenger side rear outside tire of the towed unit. The light pole was broken from its foundation and the fixture was broken when it fell. The only damage to the vehicle was to the wheel. Horsch was ticketed for making an improper turn.

There are many sayings about all the things we should be grateful for, thanks to the farmers in our country. If you have food on your table today, thank a farmer. If you have clothes on your back, thank a farmer. But there are so many other things that farmers do for our country, including helping to preserve our environment. Ike Skelton once said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of their connection to the land, farmers do more to protect and preserve our environment than almost anyone else. They are some of the best environmentalists around.â&#x20AC;? Farmers more than anyone understand that to be able to continue to provide food for our country we must protect the resources that we use. Approximately 90% of American farms are family owned; these farmers want their land to be able to continue to provide for generations to come. There are many practices that farmers use to help preserve our air, water, and soil. Some conservation practices include; no till fields, buffer zones, crop rotation, cover crops, and grazing management. Another important factor that American farmers, including many in our area participate in, is CRP (Conservation Reserve Program). This program allows farmers to use part of their land to plant species that improve environmental quality in exchange for payment, so they are not at a loss of money due to using it for environmental purposes. Farmers are continuing to find new practices and innovations which help to reduce their environmental footprint and help conserve our land. One recent innovation has allowed American corn farmers to produce 70 percent more corn per ounce of fertilizer. Currently, one acre of corn removes about 8 tons of carbon dioxide from the air in a growing season. So, from now on, remember that farmers not only produce food and provide materials for clothing; they also help to conserve our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land and natural resources.

Dear Annie: I'm a 49-yearold who has been dating and living with my girlfriend for almost one year now. I'm madly in love with her, and she says the same. We have talked about marriage, and I would love to, but she keeps saying no. She went through a 25-year marriage that she thought would last forever. She had been single for a few years, until the time we started dating. When we talk about it, she says her fear is that, one day, I will leave her, too. I can't get her to understand that I'm not like that, and she would have to try hard to push me away. What can I do or say to ease her mind? -- Confused and In Love Dear Confused and In Love: It sounds like she is traumatized from the abandonment she suffered during her first marriage. She is frozen with fear, anticipating that what happened to her the first time will happen again. As a couple, communication is key. Rather than trying to "get her to understand" that

you're not like that, listen to her concerns. Then, instead of pressuring her to do something she does not feel comfortable with, try creating some future plans. Continue to express what your needs are, and allow her to express her needs, without trying to change her. And encourage her to seek professional help for her trauma. It sounds like she is hurting. Dear Annie: This is for "Unheard Girlfriend," the woman whose future husband doesn't help with the housework even though they both work, while she also does the majority of the child care tasks. Years ago, I had a very good male friend with whom I spent a lot of time. We watched ball games while his wife spent the evening doing household chores. It frustrated me that he didn't help, so I presented it to him as follows: I just don't get why, if you really love someone, you'd want them to work full time like you, and then spend the evening working while you sit here enjoying yourself.

If you both share the work, then you'll have more time to enjoy each other and she won't be so exhausted. It worked! After that, he took pride in showing me the list of chores she'd given him to accomplish while she was gone at work. (Like many men, he'd grown up in a house where housework was not expected of him, so he needed guidance). Everyone dirties things, so everyone should learn to clean up after themselves. -- Friend Who Needed a Nudge Dear Nudge: You sound like a very good friend. Sometimes, we need friends or family -- or advice columnists -- in our lives who see our blind spots and point them out in a productive manner. It might sting in the moment for a little but will be much better in the long run to know the truth. Bravo to you.

Booster shots A profit infusion could be coming to drugstores as pharmacies across the country start doling out COVID-19 vaccines to the general public. The largest chains, CVS and Walgreens, might make more than $650 million each over the next 12 months, according to Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut. He estimates that as much as 50% of vaccinations for the general public could take place at retail pharmacies. The shots will be free to customers, but the government and insurers will reimburse pharmacies for delivering them — enough to generate a profit of around $16 per

shot, according to a recent research note by Tanquilut. Tanquilut estimates that CVS will likely grab the largest share of the U.S. market and could wind up with a profit approaching $900 million. That accounts for the costs of extra staffing and for people who have already received the vaccine or who decline it. Aside from generating profits, the vaccines will draw customers back into stores that have taken hits from a weaker-thannormal flu season and a drop in new prescriptions due to a decrease in doctor visits during the pandemic.
