Christy, Lewis Are Top Students Grundy R-5 Sends Off Class Of 13 Students At Ceremony On Saturday Having just completed a school year unlike any other in recent history, the 13 members of the 2021 graduating class of Grundy R-5 High School celebrated their accomplishments during a ceremony held Saturday afternoon in the school gym at Galt. The speakers for the ceremony, which also included a presentation of awards and
senior video, were valedictorian Parker Christy, who ended his high school career with a grade point average of 4.069 on a 4.0 scale, and salutatorian Cooper Lewis, who earned a GPA of 4.045. Both young men thanked their families and the community for their support over the years as they sought to reach their goals in high school. Christy said his parents “lit a flame” in him early on and constantly stoked that fire “wisdom and brilliance” and set high expectations for him, which spurred him to do everything he could to honor them in the best way possible. He told his classmates that the leaders in their lives have given them three main major life skills.
“Those skills (being) hard work, extreme dedication and teamwork. These traits were constantly on display no matter the occasion or challenge and we all have grown and learned from them. Through the years that I have spent at Grundy R-5, I have realized that these really are what make dreams and goals possible,” he said. He encouraged his classmates to not be afraid to reach for new heights as they move forward in their lives. “Grasp on to your future and give it all you’ve got because every single one of you are capable of extraordinary things. Put forth your best effort and if you don’t succeed, get back in that boxing ring and [See GRADUATION, Page 5]
R-5 Board Accepts Bid For Bus Barn Two Contracts Offered For Open Positions
The Grundy R-5 Board of Education met Wednesday, accepting bids for multiple items, including a bus barn, and offering contracts for two positions. According to information provided by Superintendent
Phil Fox, the board met with a representative from the city of Galt regarding wastewater runoff in the sewer system. Fox said the district will determine alternatives to the present water disposal methods and correct the problem. Under old business, the board accepted a bid from Noah Swartzentruber to construct a bus barn. The bid was for $96,000. Other bids accepted included a propane bid from MFA for $1.399 per gallon; from MFA for diesel fuel at a cost of $2.29 per gallon;
from Galt Hometown Grocery for bread; and from Prairie Farms for milk. The milk bid was .3307 cents for 1 percent chocolate; .3028 for 1 percent white; .2923 for skim; and extra milk at 25 cents, which is the same. Grundy R-5 approved the bus mechanic agreement with the Princeton R-5 District, with Grundy R-5 paying $12,000 per year for mechanic work and maintenance of the buses. A proposal to purchase playground equipment for the new preschool at a cost of
$14,840 from Children’s Specialists Equipment of Nixa was approved, as was the district offering voluntary student accident insurance for the 202122 school year. The coverage is offered by Ryan Blankenship Insurance of Park Hills. A work release program for seniors was approved for next year. It will be supervised by teachers in the vocational agriculture and business departments. The board discussed the addition of track to the 2021-22 cooperative agree[See R-5, Page 3]

New Four-Way Stop
As of May 17, there is a four-way stop at the intersection of 22nd Street and Pleasant Plain. The change was announced Friday by Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton and concerns about the intersection had been discussed at the May 8 city council meeting by resident Scott Newkirk, who said vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed through the intersection, which had only been a two-way stop, with traffic on 22nd Street required to stop. Urton’s news release said officers with the Trenton Police Department would be monitoring the area and educating motorists about the new signage.
Lifeguards Still In Need For Season Park Board Increases Pay Rates In Hopes Of Garnering Interest
The Trenton Family Aquatic Center is scheduled to open for the season on Saturday, May 29 and members of the city’s park board took action Friday morning to help ensure there are enough lifeguards to operate the facility. During a special meeting at the Trenton Park Department office, the board voted to increase the pay rate for the manager, assistant managers and lifeguards. Pool Manager Taylor Richman will earn $12 an hour while assistant managers Sarah Spencer and Carly Spencer will be paid $10.25 an hour. The pay rate for lifeguards will increase to $9 per hour. There has been difficulty this year in securing certified lifeguards and it is hoped that by increasing the pay rate, there will be more applicants. One step the board took Friday morning is to offer a stipend for training. Lifeguards can earn stipends of $75 per year for the next two years to help pay for training if they are employed for the season at the TFAC and meet minimum requirements that will be set by the manager. In addition, the board plans to offer another certification class in Trenton so it was noted that persons who are not yet certified are encouraged to apply for positions. With the expectation that

the pool will open on time, the board set the prices for the 2021 season. Daily passes will stay the same as they were two years ago which, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the last time the facility was open. Children 23 months and younger will be allowed in free, with those age 2 to 55 paying $5 per day and those 55 and over paying $2.50. A non-swimmer will be allowed into the facility for $1. Season pass rates were increased, with a single pass set at $110, while a family of four can purchase a pass for $225 and add up to two additional persons for $60 each. A lap swim pass, which is good from noon to 1 p.m. each day, is $25 as is a senior pass, for those age 55 and over. Pool parties, which run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., will cost $300, an increase over the 2019 season. Lessons will be offered if there are enough lifeguards and will cost $35 for Level I, which is a four-day session, and $55 for levels 26, which are eight-day sessions. Board members are hopeful that enough lifeguards will be found to operate the entire facility, but if there is a shortage of personnel, it will likely mean that certain areas of the facility will be open on a rotating basis. For instance, it’s possible the diving boards and slides would not be open at the same time, but both would be open at some point during the afternoon. Pool hours will remain as they have in the past, 1 to 6 p.m., with the lap swim scheduled for noon.

Ewing, Simpson And 4x4 Relay Advance
SPORTS BRIEFS Villacampa And Sager Fall The Trenton High School boys tennis team’s individual season closed on Friday at the sectional tournament in Chillicothe. Trenton’s doubles team of Trent Villacampa and Bradyn Sager, the Class 1, District 15 doubles champions, were defeated 6-4, 6-2 by Savannah’s District 15 runner-up doubles team. That ended Villacampa and Sager’s hopes of reaching state. Trenton’s team season was still alive on Monday as the Bulldogs were set to go head-to-head with Savannah in team sectional action.
Pulido Scores Twice In Win KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Alan Pulido scored a pair of goals, one in each half, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 on Sunday. Pulido and Dániel Sallói scored goals four minutes apart in the first half. It was the first time Kansas City (3-2-1) scored two goals in an opening half since its home opener on March 7 last year in a 4-0 win over Houston. Sallói scored on a give-and-go at the 28th minute when he dropped it to Pulido who tapped it back to Sallói who punched it past keeper Maxime Crépeau. Pulido drew a penalty kick at the 32nd minute when Ryan Raposo clipped him from behind in the box as he attempted to put a shot on goal. Pulido sealed it at the 58th minute when he took a pass from Gadi Kinda, evaded a defender and put a shot between a pair of defenders and out of range of Crépeau. Vancouver (2-3-1) didn’t earn its first corner until the 64th minute.
Williams Posts First Win In Three Months 23-Time Grand Slam Champion Defeats Pigato
PARMA, Italy (AP) — Serena Williams earned her first victory in more than three months by beating 17-year-old qualifier Lisa Pigato 6-3, 6-2 Monday in the first round of the Emilia-Romagna Open. Williams, who accepted a wild-card invitation for the Parma tournament after losing her opening match at the Italian Open last week, dominated after dropping her serve in the opening game. “I’m just starting to feel more comfortable. I’ve always felt super comfortable on the clay and this year has been a little more difficult than normal," said Williams, who served six aces. "I think it was because of the long hiatus I’ve had (from) the clay.” Williams hadn’t won since
beating Simona Halep in the Australian Open quarterfinals in February. She was eliminated from the year’s first Grand Slam tournament by Naomi Osaka in the semifinals. After some time off, Williams then lost in straight sets in Rome to Nadia Podoroska, a French Open semifinalist last year. Williams is preparing for Roland Garros, which starts in two weeks. Her previous win on clay came in the first round of last year’s tournament in Paris. It was the first WTA tour match for Pigato and the 1,001st for Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion. Pigato asked Williams to pose for a photo with her on court immediately after the match ended. “It was really cool and gutsy,” Williams said. “She’s going to look back (in) years and be like, ‘Well, this was my first match.’ I wish I had done that with my first match, it would have been really cool.”

Track Shade Denotes Home Event
The Trenton High School track and field teams’ numbers aren’t great this season. So being the smallest school enrollment-wise at the Class 3, District 8 Track Meet in Chillicothe on Saturday wasn’t exactly a shock for the Bulldogs. They’ve been the smallest in terms of roster size all season long. But, Trenton’s numbers got even smaller at the district meet as the Bulldogs pushed just four athletes through to this Saturday’s sectional meet in Odessa. The four advancing were the four one would expect. Kristi Ewing, Ava Simpson, Gracyn Rongey and Shay Westerhof — all with the girls team — were the ones moving on when the meet concluded. Those four have scored the vast majority of Trenton’s points this season. The four joined forces in the 4x400-meter relay, finishing third with a time of 4:24.42. The top four in each event at the district meet advanced to sectionals. Ewing and Simpson had already punched their ticket to

THE TRENTON GIRLS 4x400-meter relay team, pictured here after winning the Grand River Conference title in the event in Bethany earlier this season, placed third on Saturday at the Class 3, District 8 Track Meet in Chillicothe. That finish pushed the team through to this Saturday’s sectional meet in Odessa. Members of the team include, from left, front row, Kristi Ewing, Ava Simpson, Gracyn Rongey and Shay Westerhof.
Odessa prior to the 4x400, however. Ewing was second in the 400-meter dash, finishing with a time of 59.5 and Simpson was second in the 3,200meter run with a time of 12:59.85. As a team, Trenton collected 43 points, placing the Bulldogs seventh in a 13-team field. Trenton double-placed in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Ewing was sixth in the 100 with a time of 13.61 and Westerhof was seventh with a time of 13.68. In the 200,
Ewing was fifth with a time of 26.9 while Westerhof was again seventh, finishing with a time of 28.78. Rongey, meanwhile, placed fifth in the triple jump with a mark of 9.57 meters and she was also sixth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 54.31. Simpson added a seventhplace finish in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:24.24. Morgan King rounded out Trenton’s team total, placing eighth in the discus with a throw of 26.84 meters.
TRENTON BOYS Trenton’s boys team didn’t advance anyone to sectionals, but did have three placewinners at the meet. Dylan Spencer was eighth in both the shot put and discus, throwing the shot 11.7 meters and the disc 34.43 meters. Kayden Spencer was eighth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 11:28.27 and Gabe Stark was eighth in the javelin with a throw of 31.06 meters.
Baseball Team’s Season Ends At Districts Trenton Gets Down Early, Can’t Rally In Loss To Brookfield BROOKFIELD 13 TRENTON 5
One inning into their district match-up with Brookfield, the Trenton High School baseball team could see the writing on the wall. The beleaguered nine-man team’s season was coming to an end. But, despite trailing 8-0, Trenton never quit battling, matching Brookfield runfor-run the rest of the way. The eight-run advantage created in the opening frame was the difference, however, as Trenton
fell 13-5 Friday in Carrollton. “That was not how we wanted to start,” Trenton coach Joel Hultman said. “We got down early, but the players really showed some guts. The guys were pulling for their teammates and the seniors wanted to maximize the time they had left on the field. To finish that game the way we did and make it go the full seven innings was a good finish to the year.” Following the eight-run outburst, Trenton got one run back, but Brookfield plated four more runs in the bottom of the second. But Trenton got runs in the third and fourth innings as well as plated one final run in the seventh, to close out its season. Gavin Cagle had a three-hit game, getting a double, and Tucker Otto had two hits, a double, an RBI and a run scored. Kael Brock had a hit and two RBIs and Colin Taylor had a hit and scored twice. On the hill, Trenton used four pitchers
to navigate six innings. Brock, who started and surrendered eight runs, took the loss. Senior Brice Gibler took the ball in the third and capped his career with four shutout innings, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out five. The loss gave Trenton a final season record of 2-13 overall. Trenton’s two wins came in back-to-back games following four straight losses to open the year. But the Bulldogs stumbled to the finish, dropping their final nine games. “It was a tough season, but I had a lot of fun with these players.” Hultman said. “They are good kids who do a lot of good things for our community and represent our school well. I enjoyed coming to the park every day with them. Our seniors are great guys who are going to do good things. We wish them luck and hope they will remain in contact with the program for years.”

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — K.H. Lee was more than happy to play through a steady downpour in the final round of the AT&T Byron Nelson, and didn’t mind waiting out a weather delay of more than two hours Sunday. The reward was the final spot next week in the PGA Championship. Lee earned his first PGA Tour victory and the chance to compete on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina, becoming the second consecutive Nelson winner from South Korea by finishing
25 under, three ahead of thirdround leader Sam Burns. Heavy rain fell most of the back nine for the leaders, with workers using squeegees to clear paths on greens and one ball stuck in the middle of a fast-moving stream on the 18th fairway. The players slogged through the deluge before lightning forced a delay. Most of the standing water was gone when play resumed 2 hours, 23 minutes later. Lee missed a par putt on 16 to cut his lead to two, but answered with two birdies. The sun came out just as Lee was finishing his 6-under 66. “Long day for me, I think everybody,” said Lee, who was greeted just off the 18th green by countryman K.J. Choi, an eight-time tour winner who lives in the Dallas area. “I mean, but I just try keep pa-
tient and positive thinking.” Burns finished 22 under, a shot ahead of 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, Daniel Berger, Patton Kizzire and Scott Stallings. Troy Merritt and Joseph Bramlett finished two more back at 19 under. When the delay hit, Jordan Spieth already knew he was going to fall short again in his hometown event, played on its third course in the past four Nelsons at the rain-soaked TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, about 30 miles north of Dallas. Spieth, three back to start the day, shot 71 and tied for ninth at 18 under, giving him his first top 10 at the Nelson 11 years after he contended Sunday as a 16-year-old when the course was at its home of three decades, the TPC Four SeaMid-States will STILL WAIVE the $150 installation fee for those who sign up NOW!

sons. “Coming into the week if you told me top 10, I would probably take it,” said Spieth, playing for the first time since finishing third at the Masters and testing positive for COVID-19. “I didn’t know where anything stood.” South Korea’s Sung Kang was the defending champion after winning in 2019, when the second of just two Nelsons was played at the treeless links course Trinity Forest in Dallas. The move was unpopular with fans and players, and Craig Ranch became the home following last year’s COVID-19 cancellation. The 29-year-old from Seoul went ahead for good with a birdie on the par-4 third hole and stretched the lead to four at No. 8 by putting his second shot within 4 feet for birdie.

Milan Man Charged With First Degree Murder In Wife’s Death Charges of first degree murder are facing a 21-year-old Milan man who is accused of killing his wife. According to a probable cause statement, Edward James Elijah “Eli” Withey, is charged with first degree murder, a class A felony, armed criminal action, an unclassified felony and abandonment of a corpse, a class E felony. Withey is being held without bond and is accused of killing his 21-year-old wife, Mattie. He was arrested May 13 by Milan Police Chief Gail Hayes at Smithfield Foods in Milan, where he was employed. According to the probable cause state-
ment, two friends had gone to the couple’s home at 302 N. State St., in Milan after not being able to contact Mrs. Withey. The door was locked and after they made entry into the home, the body of Mrs. Withey, who had sustained a gunshot wound to the face, was found. Withey’s mother told law enforcement that she had met her son outside the home at approximately 8:45 p.m. to give him a ride to work. The couple’s two children were with him and he told her she needed to take care of them because his wife had gone out with friends. When Chief Hayes went to talk with

flames when firefighters arrived just before 1 a.m. The fire was contained to the vehicle, which was a complete loss. The cause of the fire is undetermined and the owner of the vehicle is unknown. The Grundy County Ambulance Service and the Missouri Highway Patrol responded to the scene, with firefighters remaining for about two hours.
Withey at work, he reported that Withey was “nervous, trembling and sweating profusely.” He also had three stains that appeared to be blood on his hooded sweatshirt. Those stains are being tested for DNA evidence. A .22 caliber rifle was found between a mattress and the foam mattress pad in the house, with ammunition also found in the residence. According to a gofundme.com page set up to help the family pay for expenses, the couple’s children, Aaliyah, age 10 months and Elijah, 2 years, are being cared for by relatives on their mother’s side of the family.

give it all you’ve got one more time,” he challenged. He told them to not forget the people around them who have likely been in the same situations they will find themselves in. Those people can be a good resource, he advised. “Most, if not all of them, have been in the same situations that you will encounter in the future. These people might be complete strangers or someone you have known for years, but don’t be afraid to ask questions! Use those teamwork and communication skills we have developed over the years to do something great, and like (businessman) Howard Shultz once said, ‘Success is best when it’s shared’.” Christy shared challenging instances from high school, such as “the very small problem of finding out we could only use a pen in Mr. Shipley’s class to hearing the news that one of our classmates’ relatives had passed away or another had become sick,” and said that those challenges only served to act “like the glue between each of our bonds with one another.” “We have grown as a family together and we have discovered that we aren’t going into this crazy new chapter of our life alone. I believe that our relationships with one another are life long, and we will always have each other when times get tough.” Lewis told his classmates that he was there to “celebrate us,” noting that the class is rare because he believes that each of them is destined for greatness. He said each of them possess a form of brilliance and a solid work ethic which, he said, makes him excited for what the future holds. He told his classmates how much he enjoyed his years with them and how it would be nice to know how good the good ole days are when you’re in them. “One of the best quotes I have heard is, ‘I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good ole days because you actually left them.’ Although the good ole days have come to an end, these memories we have made will forever leave
an impression on me. There truly is no way for me to describe how great my high school experience was, but I want to thank you for making my good ole days good and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us.” Honors and awards presented include: Felisha Dawn Anderson Missouri House of Representatives Certificate from Rep.

and retail. I have no children, but I would think this is wrong and is going to ruin their lives down the road. Their father goes along because, if he objects, the mother always takes the kids' side. Both parents do not want drama, and giving in to the kids makes for no drama. I am just waiting to hear which one of them is going to get pregnant; the mother probably would be fine with that, but I do not think the father would be. My wife and I are considered family and included at their family gatherings. Their relatives know what is going and defend it. They say that the girls are kids and nothing will happen. I reply, "If you think so," and they answer that I am old-fashioned. Am I? -Am I Old-Fashioned? Dear Am I Old-Fashioned?: Having boundaries is essential for teenagers to develop maturity.

Dear Annie: I have great neighbors who have two daughters, ages 15 and 16. The 16-year-old has a 20-year-old boyfriend, and the 15-year-old has a live-in boyfriend who is also 15. The fact that he lives there is OK with his parents and hers. I have walked by the room of the older girl more than once and seen her lying in bed with her boyfriend, under the covers, with the door half open. When this happens, I walk by and say hello, but I am uncomfortable as I do so. Her mother knows what they are doing. The younger girl sleeps with her boyfriend, and the mother is aware of that and says, "It is what it is." The girl and her boyfriend are both failing in school, and their mothers are aware of this but have not taken any steps to put them on the right path. During the day, the two are left alone while the parents work. Meanwhile, the 16-year-old is doing terrific in school. The daughters both work -- in fast food

sonable understanding, you are not old-fashioned. Your views reflect good parenting and common sense. Dear Annie: Unfortunately, like a lot of people, I have sent out too many sympathy cards this past year. And many families opting for no visitation and sometimes even no services, it's hard to come up with something other than flowers or food. I have copied an idea from a friend when my own mother passed away years ago. I now include stamps with my card. You can buy forever stamps for around $10. They fit nicely in a card and are very practical and useful. Plus, they last "forever," so people can use them as they're needed. -- Sympathy Stamps Dear Stamps: What a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

A remodeling fix Pandemic lockdowns and ultra-low mortgage rates helped spur many U.S. homeowners to invest in remodeling their home in 2020, and the trend is expected to strengthen at least into next year, according to researchers at Harvard University. The university’s Joint Center for Housing Studies’ latest leading indicator of remodeling activity, or LIRA, suggests homeowner spending on improvements and repairs will climb to $370 billion by the end of the first quarter of 2022. That would be a 4.8% increase from the $353 billion spent in the January-
March quarter this year. Spending on home remodeling surged about 5.7% in the first quarter from a year earlier. The increase followed another round of pandemic stimulus aid from the federal government, which delivered $1,400 direct payments to many Americans. Researchers are predicting homeowners will tackle more costly renovation projects in 2021. If the forecast holds up, the trends should continue benefiting home improvement retailers like Home Depot, whose stock price climbed to an all-time high Monday.
