Non-Certified Teaching Permits Possible State Trying To Aid Teacher Shortage With Latest Proposal
by Allison Marie Sawayer Missouri News Network JEFFERSON CITY — School districts could issue teaching permits to people who aren't state certified to teach under a proposal debated by lawmakers this week. Rep. Bishop Davidson, R-Republic, said the permits could account for 5% of the teaching faculty within a single district and would address a number of Missouri’s K-12 needs. “One is the immediate teacher recruitment issue of getting teachers and more teachers into our schools,” Davidson said of House Bill 439. “Two, I think more broadly, ensuring that we can bring in teachers and have an adaptive teaching profession to what is an evolving economic outlook. I think we are moving away from the 40-year, retire at 62, single-career workforce, and more towards a five to 15-year multi-career workforce," he said. "I think this creates a more adaptable teaching profession that's going to be able to take advantage of that multicareer workforce in the future.” Davidson also said the bill is intended to give more responsibility and flexibility to local districts, and it would be up to districts to decide if they want to take advan-
tage of the hiring flexibility. Some lawmakers were concerned about the bill, including Rep. Betsy Fogle, DSpringfield, who said constituents have reached out about their concerns with the bill, stating that teachers who aren’t certified might be ill-equipped to manage special education classrooms. Similarly, Rep. Robert Sauls, D-Independence, said the bill would undercut the level of expertise and background of a certified teacher. “You seem like a smart guy, you got a degree, go ahead and teach a classroom full of students with special needs and a whole host of socio-economic issues that you don't know anything about,” Sauls said to the bill sponsor Davidson responded to lawmakers’ concerns saying he doesn’t believe the bill demeans the teaching profession as much as it opens it up. Rep. Tracy McCreery, D-St.Louis, said that visiting scholar programs, an existing system, allow people to take additional classes and use their professional experience to teach. Other proposed legislation discussed during the meeting of the House Emerging Issues Committee received greater bipartisan support. A day to honor the life of Walthall Moore, the first Black person to serve as a state representative in the Missouri legislature, will take place May 1 each year if House Bill 522 passes. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Kevin Windham, D-Hillsdale, said the day would recognize Moore’s seven years as state representative along with his develop-
ments at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, where he created a Board of Curators that would include an equal number of Black and white members on the board. “His name is in a few books, but it's relatively difficult to find out more about Representative Moore, so I think it’s fitting that we make a day in his memory,” Windham said. Rep. Aaron Griesheimer, R-Washington, chair of the Emerging Issues Committee, said he supports the bill after researching Moore’s life, during which he was fascinated to find that Moore made a significant impact at Lincoln University. Lawmakers also discussed House Bill 825, which would add penalty provisions to the offense of mail theft. The bill sponsor, Rep. Adam Schwadron, R- St.Charles, said there has been a drastic increase in packages being stolen outside people’s homes since the start of the pandemic. Following similar legislative changes made in neighboring states, he said this bill would create clearer and more concrete grounds for prosecution around stolen packages. Schwadron said the consequences for mail theft would depend on the value of the package, but the goal is to raise the minimum penalties. “It could be a bow that you needed for your daughter's recital, the value of it would be $4, so with that it would probably just be a class D misdemeanor, but under this bill it would now be a Class A, which would be punishable up to a year in prison and up to a $2,000 fine,” Schwadron said.
The Pool Committee of the Trenton Park Board will hold a meeting at 5 o’clock tonight (Tuesday, March 2) at the park office. Items on the announced agenda include staffing the Trenton Family Aquatic Center, as well as TFAC employee pay and regulations for the facility.
Victim Notification System
Grundy County Sheriff Rodney Herring has announced a new victim notification system that can be utilized through the sheriff’s department app. The service will allow victims of offenders incarcerated in the Grundy County Detention Center to request and receive up-tothe-minute notifications of changes in an offender’s status, such as being in custody or released from custody. The service is a collaboration with Appriss, which manages VineWatch, a victim notification system. To utilize the service, victims can search for an offender within the “Inmates and Jail Info” section of the app. After selecting the desired offender, select “Notify Me of Status Changes,” then select “language preference” and “Type of Notification” (email, phone-voice or text) and enter the corresponding information. Users will be required to choose a four-digit PIN and then will be able to submit their request. The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department app is free and can be downloaded on the Apple App store and Google Play.
Administrator Search Update
The Grundy County Commission has renewed its search for a public administrator to serve in an interim capacity after one selected last week was found to be unable to serve. According to Presiding Commissioner Phillip Ray, the person who was initially selected to serve in the position, which became vacant with the resignation of Jill Eaton, was found to not meet the statutory requirements to fill the seat. Mrs. Eaton’s resignation was initially effective Feb. 26, but she has agreed to stay in the position through March 9. Those interested in being considered to fill the position may do so by providing a resume to Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard. Among the requirements are being a Grundy County resident, a registered voter in the county, having all taxes paid and being bondable. The commission had met with members of the Grundy County Republican Central Committee last week to go over resumes and members of that committee were present for interviews on Thursday evening. Ray had earlier said that, for the sake of continuity in that office, the commission would be working with the GOP committee so the same person would be selected by the commission and nominated by the committee to the governor. Persons interested in seeking the office through election will file for office in Feb. 2022 for the August Primary Election. Those who win their party’s nomination in the primary would have their names on the Nov. 2022 ballot.
COVID-19 Update
The Grundy County Health Department continues to work within the county and Region H to help residents receive the COVID-19 vaccine as active cases within the county continue to decline. According to information provided Monday morning, Grundy County has three active cases and while no new cases were added over the weekend, there were a total of 34 new cases reported in the month of February. There have been a total of 1,056 cases since the pandemic began nearly a year ago, with 815 confirmed cases and 241 probable cases. Forty Grundy County residents have died due to the virus. Missouri is now showing new antigen positive results (probable cases) on its data dashboard. Antigen positive results accounted for 40 percent of new cases in the past seven days. Probable cases are still excluded from the total number of cases on the dashboard. GCHD Administrator Elizabeth Gibson said the health department administered 100 primary doses of vaccine in a clinic held Friday and will have an additional 100 doses available this week. Residents may call the health department at 359-4196 to make an appointment or to be contacted for Tier 3 clinics. Gov. Mike Parson has announced that Missouri will move to vaccine priority group Phase IB-Tier 3 on March 15, a priority group that includes educators and staff in K-12 settings and critical infrastructure workers. Ms. Gibson said Harrison County will be the site of this week’s mass vaccination clinic, which will be held Saturday, March 6. This is a first-dose clinic and individuals can register online using Vaccine Navigator at covidvaccine.mo.gov.navigator or may call the Missouri hotline at 877-435-8411.

Five Bulldogs Bound For State McAtee And Gibler Win Titles; Johnson, Griffin And Gibson Also Headed To State The career arcs of Hunter McAtee and Brice Gibler have wound across different paths. McAtee, a sophomore, was a proven commodity after bursting onto the scene as a freshman last year and winning a third-place medal at the state tournament. Gibler, meanwhile, has toiled in the wrestling room for three seasons, constantly putting in the work to better himself, but never getting to the state wrestling tournament - until now. The two Trenton High School wrestlers’ roads intersected on Saturday at the Class 1 Section 4 Tournament at Mid-Buchanan High School. Despite the different paths taken, the two ended up in the same spot Saturday - at the top of their respective weight classes. McAtee brought home the sectional championship at 113 pounds while Gibler clenched his first trip to state with a championship at 132 pounds. The duo will lead a contingent of five Trenton wrestlers into the state tournament in Columbia in less than two weeks. Caleb Johnson, second at 220 pounds; Coleman Griffin, third at 152 pounds; and Sam Gibson, third at 182 pounds also advanced, giving Trenton five state qualifiers for the second year in a row. “We had a big day at the sectional tournament at Mid Buchanan,” Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “We had five state qualifiers out of our original eight that we brought.” Kaden Owen (160) and Gavin Chambers (126) each lost one match shy of wrestling for third-place and a trip to state while Nate Burkeybile (195) saw his season come to a close as well with an 0-2 showing. Leading the charge was McAtee, who dominated his way to a sectional title. The sophomore was 3-0 on the day, winning all three matches by fall. In the finals, McAtee pinned MidBuchanan’s Clancey Woodward midway through the second period to put a cap on his stellar day. “Hunter had an absolute dominant performance at 113, winning all matches by fall,” Bacon said. “I thought Hunter looked like a kid on a mission to prove he is the best kid in the state at 113 and he certainly took another step in the right direction to make that happen. To make it through

the sectional tournament by pinning all opponents tells you a lot about Hunter’s mindset.” Gibler had a bit of a tougher route to his title, getting his first win by fall, but needing decisions to wrap up his title run. He got those decisions, however, taking a 5-1 victory over Maysville’s Brendan Barton in the semifinals and a 6-1 decision win over Brookfield’s Colton Parn - who he defeated for the district title two weeks ago. Gibler’s matches with Parn have been good ones this season, but Trenton’s wrestler has got the better of his Brookfield counterpart in

each of their previous three meetings. “Brice had an outstanding day,” Bacon said. “When we talk about athletes peaking at the right time, Brice is a prime example of that. I'm really excited to see what he will do at the state tournament.” Johnson, who topped Hamilton’s Fisher Nixdorf for the district title two weeks ago by a 5-3 decision, had the table turned on him in the 220-finals at sectionals. Nixdorf returned the favor, topping Johnson by a 7-3 decision. It was the lone loss of the day for Johnson, who advanced to the finals with a win by fall and a 7-5 de-

cision win in the semifinals. “Caleb placed second and secured his spot in the state tournament for a second time,” Bacon said. “He fought through some tough matches throughout the tournament. Caleb is looking good to go get another medal at the state tournament and I’m so proud of him.” Gibson and Griffin both overcame semifinal losses to fight back for third-place finishes and trips to Columbia.

sponded, however, picking up a win by fall in the consolation semifinals before punching his ticket to state with another pinfall victory in the third-place match. Gibson was pinned in the semifinals after receiving a bye to start the tournament. An 11-2 major decision victory put Gibson into the thirdplace match against Gallatin’s Gage Wright. The match came down to the ultimate tiebreaker where Gibson scored an escape to break a 2-2 tie and advance to state with the 3-2 victory. “After a tough loss by a point in his semifinals match, Coleman pulled it together and looked really sharp in his last two matches,” Bacon said. “I am very proud of the way he is wrestling. “Sam had a really good tournament in a really stacked 182 bracket. This is his first trip to the state tournament and I couldn't be happier for him.” Owen and Chambers just missed opportunities to wrestle for third and the ticket to state a third-place finish represented. Owen was pinned by Maysville’s Jake Redman to end his season while Chambers, who was a state qualifier last year, lost by a 14-6 major decision to Maysville’s Draken Bennett one match shy of the thirdplace bout. Burkeybile was pinned in both of his losses. The five wrestlers that advanced will be back in action at the state tournament at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. State will begin on Thursday, March 11 and runs through March 13.

Playing without their starting point guard, Damien Loyd, North Central needed its best effort Saturday as the Pirates opened Region 16 play by hosting Metropolitan Community College at the Ketcham Community Center. North Central got that, especially from Atavian Butler and Jeramy Shaw, who combined for 50 points in a 94-88 win over the visiting Wolves. Shaw finished with a gamehigh 29 points and six rebounds while Butler added 21 points and six rebounds. Together they thwarted any attempts Metropolitan could muster, allowing the Pirates to hold on for the victory.
“I thought Jeramy and Atavian stepped up big time for us and played like veteran sophomores, especially in the second half,” Pirates’ coach Jeremy Esry said. “When the game got tough, they came through in the clutch, not only on the offensive end, but we also asked them to guard (Metropolitan’s) two best players as well.” Behind that duo, North Central got 14 points from Jackson Andrews. Kolten Griffin and Camron Donatlan each added eight points for the Pirates. North Central led 44-36 at halftime, but couldn’t pull away from the visitors in the second half. North Central was able to stay ahead, however, fending off the Wolves’ best efforts to the finish. With the win, North Central improved to 7-5 overall and established a 1-0 start to region play. WOMEN If the North Central women are going to have a challenge for the Region 16 championship this season, it’s safe to say that will come from St. Louis, not Metropolitan. The Wolves never had a chance against NCMC on Sat-
urday, looking lost for most of the contest as the Pirates rolled to a 101-49 victory. North Central didn’t waste any time putting the game away, jumping out to a 27-6 lead in the first quarter and holding a 61-13 lead at halftime. Nora Ford had 20 points and seven assists in the win while Lily Osborn scored 18 points. Angel Wiggins had 16 points, Maci Moore had 10 points and 17 rebounds and Kennadie Crowe added 10 points as well. With the win the Pirates improved to 9-3 overall and 1-0 in Region 16 action. UP NEXT North Central’s women will host Southeastern Community College on Wednesday. Tip off in the Ketcham Community Center is set for 5:30 p.m. The North Central men were at home against Division I State Fair Community College on Monday and will host St. Louis on Saturday as part of a women’s-men’s Region 16 doubleheader. Action at the Ketcham Community Center tips off with the women’s game at 2 p.m. and the men’s contest will follow.

Local Farmers Battle Harsh Weather Conditions As many of you may know, the recent weather across the nation has been less than desirable. Although many occupations have had a break and been forced to retreat to the safety of their homes, farmers have not. Agriculture is one business that cannot stop producing. When temperatures drop below freezing for the 73,000 farmers in America, the job of these men and women become much more difficult. Water tanks freeze, hay must be fed in a greater abundance than with warmer temperatures, machinery malfunctions, and livestock require more attention. During these times of brutal cold, agriculturalists are outside more than ever in order to keep their livestock alive. Although cold weather makes the agricultural business more difficult, extremely hot weather can make it equally as difficult. When droughts set in across the nation farmers are forced to rely on strategies that help prevent financial loss. If grass stops growing for long enough hay is fed to ensure that the livestock are getting the necessary nutrients to stay healthy. During these periods of drought farmers often have trouble producing hay. This in turn forces them to purchase part of the mere 10% of hay sold in Missouri yearly. Without hay, farmers have no way to keep livestock through the harsh winters. Although farmers often are beaten around by Mother Nature, they depend on her. On behalf of the Trenton FFA Chapter, I would personally like to thank each and everyone one of the farmers not only in Northern Missouri, but across the Nation. Your sacrifice and determination to produce food, fiber and fuel is much appreciated!

Wright Memorial Hospital recently announced Brinda Marsh as the hospital’s 2020 Employee of the Year. Mrs. Marsh, a pharmacy technician II at the hospital, was presented with the award at a ceremony held in her honor on Feb. 25. The other finalist for the award was Audra Beverlin, Fourth Quarter 2020 Employee of the Quarter. Mrs. Marsh has been with WMH for over 26 years. Her coworkers say, “Brinda is always willing to help out wherever she is needed. This includes assisting at either Wright Memorial Hospital or Hedrick Medical Center. She recently had to take on a heavier workload due to an unexpected absence of a coworker. You will never catch her without a smile on her face. She is diligent about ensuring patients are always taken care of whether it be inpatients or retail customers picking up prescriptions. She is a hard worker and a pleasure to be around. Brinda is a true asset to our organization.” Mrs. Marsh and her husband, Jim, will be celebrating her 45th wedding anniversary this year. They have three children, two grandchildren and have one more on the way. She enjoys walking and yoga, reading, binging a good series on Netflix and spending time with her family. In recognition of the award, Mrs. Marsh’s name will be engraved on a permanent plaque displayed within the hospital along with her photo, she will receive a recognition plaque, a parking space of her choice for a year and acknowledgment in the local media and hospital employee intranet.

Dear Annie: Our son is an educated, well-read, successful married man. We taught him how to keep a home, how to clean, how to groom himself. This has never been an issue. Since he married five years ago, all things clean have disappeared. His home is filthy. We help out at his house, doing painting, flooring, etc. We are glad to be a part of our son's life and don't mind helping -if he just took care of his things and his home. He also doesn't seem to care how he presents himself. Recently, his wife had a birthday party for him. He came out looking like he had just gotten out of bed. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a month. He was not raised like this. How do we approach him about this without causing hard feelings? -- Embarrassed Mom Dear Embarrassed Mom: He might not have been raised like this, but clearly something is going on in his home life. Letting go of your house, and yourself for that matter, could
be signs of a deeper issue. He could be dealing with depression, anxiety or ADHD. As a temporary Band-Aid, you could offer to pay for a cleaning service -- even monthly could make a huge difference. While that might tackle the surface of what is going on, it's important to look at what is going on inside of him. Ask him if he wants to go out to dinner or for a walk, and have an open, nonjudgmental conversation with him about how his life is going. And how he is feeling. Hopefully, he will open up. Continue to support and be there for him. If matters do not get better, he might need the help of a professional counselor. Dear Annie: My daughter died at age 41 after 17 years of marriage. Her husband will always be my son-in-law. I was one of the first people he called when he started dating again because he didn't want me to hear it from someone else. He repeated that when he decided to remarry. I knew that I would have a difficult time attending the

wedding. However, I wanted to go to support him and my three grandchildren. When I overheard my granddaughters talking about the wedding, I asked if there was a date selected, because I hadn't been told. The response was that it was during a time when I had a long-planned trip scheduled. So, they knew I wouldn't be able to attend. I don't know if that was on purpose or a coincidence, but it was certainly a relief. The stepmother is a fine person and is loved by my grandchildren. -- I Am a Blessed Papa Dear Blessed Papa: I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. As I have written before, there is life before you lose a child and life after. The after is never the same. You sound like an incredible man, and your son-in-law -- the father of your grandchildren -shows great respect toward you. Your focus on your blessings is admirable, and it is precisely what leads one to live a more peaceful life.

Twilio connects
Nearly a year into the pandemic, Zoom and Netflix have emerged as clear winners. But so have lesser-known companies that seem unlikely to ever become household names. Like, say, Twilio. The company makes back-end digital tools that help businesses connect with their customers through mobile apps, call centers and messaging services. Though the company isn’t profitable, its stock price has risen nearly fivefold since March 11, 2020, the day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Revenue grew 65% in the latest quarter. CEO Jeff Lawson expects trends like telemedicine, call-center
employees working from home and online shopping to continue to fuel growth. “This is the year of the great digital, not transformation, but acceleration,” he told The Associated Press in December. Canaccord Genuity analyst David Evanson said Twilio is a clear beneficiary of this acceleration. “Given its strong entrenched leadership position and powerful platform, we believe Twilio is well-positioned for strong long-term revenue growth,” he said. As the company moves to higher-margin products and away from its traditional messaging technology, Evanson said he expects greater profitability and cash flow. Twilio’s pandemic growth
