The oath of office was given to those elected to offices at Galt during a meeting held Wednesday. According to information provided by City Clerk Ashley Bonnett, the oath of office was given to Mayor Jessica Gannon as well as to aldermen-at-large Sierra Fletchall and Jason Grindstaff. All three were incumbents and ran unopposed in the April 6 election. They will each serve two-year terms. In other business, council voted to accept a proposal from Benton and Associates of Kirksville to conduct an engineering study on possible improvements to be made to the city water system.

R-9 Mask Policy Changes

The Trenton R-9 School District made an abrupt about-face on Friday, announcing that masks will no longer be required by students or staff in district facilities as part of the district’s COVID-19 mitigation strategy. The announcement came Friday morning after it had been discussed at the April 13 R-9 Board of Education meeting that the district’s mandate that masks be worn would be continued through the testing season in an effort to ensure that testing would not be interrupted by sickness or quarantine issues. It was noted at that time that the policy was an administrative one, not a board policy. In his announcement, R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman said that in the event the district does have a positive case over the remainder of the school year, contact tracing and the district’s quarantine protocol would be followed as specified by the Grundy County Health Department. Following that announcement came a second announcement, which was a reminder that due to a federal executive order and CDC guidelines, masks are still required to be worn on all school buses. Grundy County currently has no active cases of the COVID19 virus.

How many points can four girls score at a track meet? Five meets into the 2021 season the Trenton High School girls track and field team hasn’t found many point opportunities outside of those created by their top four athletes. At the Trenton Relays on Thursday, the group of four Bulldogs scored the only points Trenton accumulated at the meet. That didn’t mean Trenton was looking too far up in the standings, however. Kristi Ewing, Ava Simpson, Shay Westerhof and Gracyn Rongey combined for 57 points, placing Trenton fifth overall in a field of nearly 20 schools. Ewing paced Trenton, winning the team’s two gold medals. She was first in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:02.63 and first in the 200 with a time of 27.79. Ewing would add a second-place finish in the 100 with a time of 13.57 and combined with Simpson, Westerhof and Rongey to run second in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 4:36.98. Simpson followed, placing third in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 5:58.43 and she was fourth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 13:34.87. Westerhof would place third in the 100meter dash with a time of 13.74 and was sixth in the 200 with a time of 30.19. Rongey rounded out Trenton’s point total with a fourth-place showing in the triple jump to net the Bulldogs their only points in the field. Her mark in the event was 9.07 meters. Higginsville won the girls meet title with 93 points to best runner-up Maysville’s total of 69 points and thirdplace Brookfield’s total of 64. Princeton was third, right ahead of Trenton in the team standings, with 59 points. TRENTON BOYS The Trenton boys tallied 15 points, finishing 11th overall at the meet. Dylan Spencer had the Bulldogs’ highest finish, placing second in the discus with a throw of 37.28 meters. He also

off a bit on the back, shooting a 55 to arrive at his final tally. Behind the top duo, Trenton got a 114 from Chase Otto, who had nine-hole splits of 58 and 56.

Bo Meeker was also in varsity action for Trenton at the tournament, carding a 124 with nine-hole marks of 63 and 61. Milan won the tournament, shooting a team score of 372 to

fend off host Brookfield’s runner-up total of 380. Macon was third, shooting an even 400, and Putnam County and Schuyler County rounded out the top five with scores of 409 and 421 respectively.

IMPROVING MISSOURI’S BUSINESS CLIMATE As long as I have been in the Missouri Legislature, it has been my consistent goal to improve our state’s business climate. Fortunately, over the past several years, I believe we have enacted several new laws that make the Show-Me State more attractive in the eyes of job creators, but we still have a way to go. In my opinion, government’s role is not to “create” jobs; rather, it is to come up with a roadmap that allows business owners to expand and new industry to come to our state. In some instances, I believe government’s part in this is to simply move out of the way and keep regulations as low as possible; otherwise, it becomes more difficult to achieve the goal of making our state that much more competitive. Also, improving the business climate in Missouri is not as simple as passing one bill, and then watching unemployment numbers drop. There many aspects to this concept. These can range from offering incentives to business owners to move to Missouri, to having the best infrastructure in place for new industry to move here, to ensuring we have the most streamlined

legal processes in place for these organizations. To this end, I am sponsoring Senate Bill 3 this session, which would decrease the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from five years to two years. While this may not sound like a jobs bill, it seeks to make Missouri more palatable to existing and potential business owners. Again, I believe there are many ways to help make Missouri’s business climate more appealing. And, I am not the only lawmaker who feels this way. We have not only a number of elected officials who want to see our state with this goal in mind, but thousands of Missourians who would also love to see more industry come here, and expand those great companies that have already chosen the Show-Me State for their home. Rest assured, all of us will continue to work toward a brighter tomorrow as we move through this year. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM PSYCHOLOGY by Dr. Lindsay Oram NCMC Psychology Instructor There are probably a thousand reasons to study psychology. One stands out – it’s fascinating! Psychology courses look at important questions such as why do people act the way they do? How do we learn and change throughout our lives? How does culture influence our behavior? What motivates us? How do we learn? What contributes to the development of psychological disorders? If you are interested in a deeper understanding of the human mind, Dr. Lindsay Oram you should consider studying psychology. Psychology courses at NCMC help lay the foundation for those interested in a psychology career. The information and skills learned also benefit students from many other degree programs. The Psychology Department at NCMC offers a range of courses to students. General Psychology is the most frequently taken course from the Psychology Department and is a great place to start. The course is offered fall, spring, and summer semesters in both online and on-ground formats. Besides meeting the Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement for many degree programs, the course content is important. For example, this course teaches students about human development, motivation, memory, learning theory, stress and stress reduction, personality, emotions, language and communication, social interactions, and decision-making. A General Psychology student commented, “I had no idea there was so much you could learn about the human mind. This class helped me learn why humans do what they do.” Once students have successfully completed General Psychology, there are several additional psychology options at NCMC. Human Growth and Development is a popular choice for students interested in learning more about how humans develop across the lifespan. Child Psychology is a course that focuses on psychological basis of child growth and development, with emphasis on the emotional, mental, physical, and social needs of childhood. This is a common choice among those interested in working with children. Social Psychology focuses on how individual behavior is impacted by societal influences. Abnormal Psychology discusses psychological disorders and treatments. It is an ideal course for anyone interested in working in the health professions, although certainly not limited to only those students. Several of these courses are offered as dual credit, on the Trenton campus, online, and at the North Belt Center. See the NCMC course schedule for availability each semester. Overall, the Psychology Department at NCMC has several options available for students at NCMC, whether or not they plan to pursue a career in psychology. If you have any questions about the psychology courses, please contact Dr. Lindsay Oram at loram@mail.ncmissouri.edu.

ness. Continuing bulletin board decorating, Blessing Boxes and Tools of Hope ministries were also discussed.

anything or anyone almost feels like a disease that we try to avoid. I heard a man say some time ago. If there is anything that I need to do there is always a “you tube” video that can help me. Don’t get me wrong, whenever it is possible we should utilize whatever resources we can. The problem that keeps us imprisoned in our own self sufficiency is a type of pride that says “I need no one or nothing” I can do it myself and I need no help. That kind of thinking is easily reinforced by the core concept of rugged individuality which is praised as a strong character trait in Western thinking. While it is true that this is a positive character trait, it is often taken to an extreme that causes us to discount the possibilities of resources beyond ourselves that can address the problem before us better than we can alone. I love the story of the little boy who was trying to fix his broken toy and became so frustrated at not being able to fix the toy that he brought it in

tears to his dad. When his father tried to fix it the boy became impatient, took it back and tried to fix it again to no avail. In tears he came again to his dad and asked for help. Several times he brought his toy to his father and took it back again. Finally, exasperated, the little boy said “Dad why can’t you fix my toy” The dad’s response is profound. “Well son, I would have been glad to fix it but you would not let go of it” I can almost hear God’s voice echoing those same words. We can’t seem to let go of the problem and place it in better hands than our own. In fact, we will try every resource in the world to try to solve some problems that only get worse and we just dig our holes deeper. Why is it that so often we resort to prayer or God as the LAST RESORT rather than beginning with His more than sufficient resources. After all, the above verse demonstrates Jesus’s full dependence on the Father. Might be just the example to follow.

ACROSS MISSOURI The Capitol Re eportt REP. RUSTY BLACK Room 115 State Capitol Building 201 W. Capitol Avenue Jefferson City, MO 65101 E-mail: rusty.black@house.mo.gov

573-751-2917 AN UPDATE ON CURRENT LEGISLATION Hello Seventh District: This past week has been a busy week, not only for the House Chamber but also within my office. We had a few visitors from District 7: Lacy Capps, Brent Reeter and Rod Cotton, all from Farmers’ Electric Cooperative. Also had two other visitors from the district: Tom and Darlene Tingerthal. They came on behalf of KCHI news. This week I was also appointed to the Career Technical Education Advisory Committee by Speaker of the House Rob Vescovo. I am honored and excited to be a part of this committee. I also got the opportunity to step in as Speaker of the House for a few hours during one of our evening sessions. It took me by surprise filling this role but I had fun doing it, even if I did take a minute to get the hang of it. Here is some legislation that we worked on this past week: HB 137 requires charter schools and each school district to include an annual independent audit to verify pupil residency. The bill requires school districts to pay for each pupil attending a charter school in that district based on the formula established in the bill which includes all state aid and local aid received by the school district di-

vided by the total weighted average daily attendance of the school district and all charter schools within the school district. School districts must calculate the amount of local aid owed to a charter school monthly and make timely payments to the charter school as outlined in the bill. The bill includes a calculation for an administrative fee to be retained from the January local aid payment by the school district. Supporters say this is a matter of equity for charter schools in the state. In those areas where charter schools are currently operating the local aid funding provided to charter schools does not match the local aid funding that the public school districts receive. The current bill will work toward a fair distribution and establish an independent audit to ensure districts are treated fairly. I have put in a lot of work for this bill, adding an amendment. I voted in support of this bill, with the added amendments. HB 21 makes fiscally responsible use of the funds saved by rejecting the expansion of Medicaid. The House Budget Chairman said in the bill, “A lot of very good things are happening for a lot of people in the state of Missouri who cannot help themselves. This is the prioritization

of the people who are most needy in our state that we help through the state budget.” For Fiscal Year 2022, House Bill 21 would: • Provide skilled nursing homes with $88.2 million in new reimbursement, approximately $10.00 a day for each bed • Provide public K-12 schools an additional $15.5 million for formula transportation funding • Provide developmentally disabled providers an additional $19.7 million in reimbursement • Provide Home and Community Based Services (in-home care), including Consumer Directed Services (CDS), with an additional $19,711,680 in state and federal funds (bringing the total increase in the House version of the FY22 budget to $166,378,997) • Provide $2 million in funding for a workforce diploma program (adult high schools) to help adults earn a diploma, plus another $1.8 million in new funds for existing adult high schools • Provide an additional $588,000 for the recruitment of families to participate in the foster care system (Missouri has more than 13,500 kids in the system) • Add funding to the Public Defenders’ Office to hire 15 additional attorneys for the purpose of eliminating the wait list for legal services (combined with the increase of 12 attorneys in House Bill 12, the total increase now equals 27 new public defender attorneys) • Provide $2.9 million to establish a pilot program with pediatric hospitals to train family members to become certified home health aides (that will lead to savings for in-home care) • Provide for the expansion of several mental health programs across the state, including community mental health liaisons

(that assist law enforcement) and crisis stabilization centers • Add an additional $250,000 to the Jobs for America’s Graduates program so that more high schools can participate in this workforce development program HB 320 modifies the definition of "computer science course" to include a stand-alone computer course in the elementary, middle, and high school levels or any course that embeds computer science content within other subjects. The bill will require public schools and charter schools in all school years after July 1, 2022 to offer at least one computer science course in high school, instruction in exploratory computer science in middle school, and the basics of computer science and computational thinking in elementary schools. Supporters say the bill will help Missouri students develop critical skills needed in a very high need area of study. The bill will benefit job growth as employer's often look for basic computer science educational experience. Several other states within the region are beginning to offer similar course accommodations like those in the bill. The bill also allows registered voters to file a petition with the school board to add specified agenda items to any monthly school board meeting. As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact my office by telephone at 573-751-2917, by email at rusty.black@house.mo.gov or Social Media: Twitter: @rep_rusty; Facebook: Rusty Black. My legislative assistant, Ashley Wright, or I will be happy to assist in any way that we can. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the 7th District of the Missouri House.

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 A REPUBLICAN, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT On September 17, 1787, delegates left the Constitutional Convention in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. As they exited, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government do we have? "A Republic," he replied, "if you can keep it." For months, the delegates of the Constitutional Convention worked to devise a system of government that would keep the worst intentions of man in check. Because, as Franklin put it earlier in the Convention, "the first man put at the helm will be a good one, nobody knows what sort may come afterward." They came up with a Republic to be held together by checks and balances. The Constitution established three co-equal branches: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each was given the power to hold the others in check to prevent any one branch, or any one individual, from seizing absolute power. Because, as the Founders knew, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fast forward 234 years and their concerns seem prescient. Today, liberals in Congress unveiled their plot to pack the

Supreme Court and bend the Constitution to their will. If you look up court-packing in the dictionary, you’ll find a succinct definition of what they’re trying to do. Merriam Webster defines “court-packing” as “the act or practice of packing a court and especially the United States Supreme Court by increasing the number of judges or justices in an attempt to change the ideological makeup of the court.” That’s exactly what some on the Left want to do by proposing to add four new Justices to the Supreme Court. However, as President Biden once said, that's a "bonehead idea." Threatening to pack the Court was a "terrible, terrible mistake" when FDR tried it, and it remains a threat to our Republic now. It would completely upend the system of checks and balances that our Founding Fathers imagined and shake the very foundations of our Republic. When FDR tried to pack the Court in 1937, Americans across the political spectrum loudly rejected his thinly veiled power grab. Now, we are called upon to do the same, to keep this Republic.

I'm going to meet another woman. Plus, after 26 years of only thinking about my family, I have no clue what makes me happy. I just know I'm not. -Resentment Dear Resentment: No one likes to feel unappreciated. Your wife ordering you to rub her feet sounds like she is acting more like a tyrant than a considerate, loving partner. Then again, you have allowed this reign of terror for quite some time. Instead of brewing like a little teakettle that is going to blow, just tell her exactly how you feel. It is understandable that her lack of appreciation has made you not want to do nice things for her, but you have to tell her that. Couples therapy could help ease this conversation, so that pent-up resentments could be dealt with calmly. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from the 63year-old mother whose children felt she was wasting her money by going back to school and finishing her degree. I dropped out of college to put my husband through school when his father became ill and could not help him financially anymore. After four children, two of

Dear Annie: I've been married for 26 years. I have a 24year-old son at home on the autism spectrum, and his 4-yearold daughter, of whom he has full custody. They get by with my help, and money, of course. I have always been a very loving and supportive husband. I cook, clean, do laundry and whatever else needs to be done. I'm getting older now and developing arthritis. For a while, I would push through the pain to pamper my wife. Now, when we sit down, she throws her leg on me and says, "Rub my feet." I didn't mind when she appreciated it, but now that she expects it, this ruins it for me. If I say no, she gets upset. When I try to talk to her about it, she turns it back on me and says that I shouldn't blame her for my problems. She said that since I've been doing it so long, she just expects it. This is not very comforting. She said, "Why don't you have some alone time and do something that makes you happy?" For 26 years, I've never had alone time. I go to work, and then go home to my family. If I tell my wife I want to go somewhere by myself, she assumes

whom got college degrees, I decided to go back to college and finish my degree. I chose to major in accounting. I graduated cum laude at the age of 56. It took me seven months to get the job of my dreams, but after eight years of working, my husband and I were able to pay everything off, accumulate a great nest egg, and now we can travel wherever we want. Better yet, our children don't have to worry about taking care of us if things were to get bad. Our children would not have dared to tell me I was making a mistake, even though my husband had a nice pension in addition to Social Security. I don't know what this woman's situation is, but she is making a great choice to go for what she wants. I hope she finishes what she started. -- Happy I Went Back to College Dear Happy I Went Back: Thank you for sharing your letter. You set a wonderful example that it is never too late to fulfill your dreams and that taking risks can pay off. Congrats again. In addition to the financial security that you have achieved, you have the knowledge that you acquired by going back to school. I am reminded of a family saying: "You can lose your money, your looks and your youth, but no one can take away your education."

Major American corporations are raising their voices on the red-hot issue of voting rights. Galvanized by a proliferation of restrictive state voting proposals, more than 100 business leaders met recently in an unusual online gathering. They discussed possible action against laws under consideration in several states and enacted in Georgia. Their potential steps include halting donations to politicians who support such legislation or suspending investments in those states. Several corporations already had suspended political donations after the deadly January siege on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald

Trump and after the refusal of some Republican lawmakers to certify President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. Political spending has shot to attention at the annual corporate meetings season now underway, alongside racial equity, climate change and executive compensation. Support for shareholder proposals on political donations and lobbying has grown, a report by the Conference Board, a business research group, has found. Companies have increased their disclosure of political giving. Political activity can pose risks for companies, including the perception that such contributions conflict with company values.

AREA DEATHS Shirley M. Ellis Greiner Shirley M. Ellis Greiner, the youngest daughter of Clyde W. Ellis and Mina Mae Packard, was born Dec. 1, 1922, in Trenton. Mrs. Greiner passed away Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, at Avista Senior Living in Phoenix, AZ, from complications of congestive heart failure. She had made Phoenix her home for the last ten years. Shirley met Robert R. Greiner, a US Army Air Corp Sgt., in 1943 while working at the Glen L. Martin airplane factory, where Shirley was a parts supervisor. They were married two years later on Sept. 29, 1945 in Omaha, NE. They had been married nearly 63 years, when Bob passed away on Father’s Day, June 15, 2008 in Trenton after a courageous battle with colon cancer. She was a professional seamstress for nearly 50 years and raised their four daughters as Bob climbed the corporate ladder, moving 20 times crisscrossing the Midwest. After Bob retired, he and Shirley spent ten years as “Snowbirds”, pulling their traveltrailer from Minnesota to Weslaco, TX, where they spent the winter having fun with other retired folks from Trenton. From a musical family, Shirley had a fine soprano voice and loved music. She was a talented quilter and amateur painter. Her favorite color was blue. She was an excellent cook and baker, especially Christmas cookies. Her pie crust would melt in your

Shirley M. Ellis Greiner

mouth. She loved gardening and bird watching. Shirley was a descendant of the Mayflower passengers and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her most memorable times were spent at the family cabin in the Northwoods of Minnesota, catching those big crappies. The last of her generation, she was a hardworking, independent Christian woman who strongly believed that her purpose on this Earth was to help others, and so, she gave of her time and talents wherever she lived. After Bob retired, Shirley and Bob lived here in Trenton for 20 years on Town and Country lane. She volunteered at the food pantry, the thrift shop, the senior center, the hospital and the VFW. She was an active member at the First Christian Church, here in Trenton and an exceptional volunteer. For many years, she made hundreds of colorful mints for wedding receptions

FUNERALS Phylliss Louise Peery Memorial services for Phylliss Louise Peery were held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 18, 2021 at Resthaven Mortuary. Rev. Ron Ratliff officiated. Mrs. Peery, an 81-year-old Gilman City resident, died at 4:11 p.m. on Friday, April 9, 2021 at Research Medical Center in Kansas City. Special recorded music in-

cluded “Go Rest High on that Mountain”, “Why Me, Lord?” and “The Green, Green Grass of Home.” Pallbearers were Colton Roy, Jacob Roy, Eric Roy, Anthony Tharp, Jeffrey Krumwiede and Timothy Tharp. Interment was in the Edinburg Cemetery.

as a member of the reception committee. She was a devoted and loving caregiver to family, friends and neighbors her entire life. “G.G.” as she was affectionately called by the youngest in her family, is survived by her four daughters: Mrs. Cheryl Ann Bibler (William), Mrs. Barbara Lynn Janson (Richard), Mrs. Janet Sue Kinney (Ronald) and Patricia Marie Travis, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Shirley will be fondly remembered for her generosity, humility and sweet personality. She faced each challenge in her life with dignity, grace and faith in God. She will always be admired for her work ethic and her determination in the face of adversity- even until her final days. Shirley has come home to join her husband and the Tapscott-Ellis family in the Trenton Masonic Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held in honor of this extraordinary woman, Mrs. Shirley Greiner, at Trenton Masonic Cemetery on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 1 p.m. graveside.
