Scouts Collecting Gym Shoes

Cub Scout Pack 23 and Boy Scout Troop 97 are continuing the tradition of organizing a community service project for the Trenton R-9 School District to collect and recycle gently used gym shoes for donation to Bright Futures Trenton.

The scouts of Pack 23 will hold their “Gym Shoe Dash” on Wednesday, May 19, at Rissler Elementary, where cub scouts will visit the classrooms of their respective grades to collect gym shoes from their fellow students. Students must have their parents’ permission in order to donate their gym shoes. The shoes will then be piled in the commons area, so the kids can see the results of their efforts.

Boy Scout Troop 97 will be providing collection containers at TMS. Students may donate their gym shoes the last few weeks of school, with their parent’s permission.

The ladies of Wesley United Methodist Church will launder and sort the gym shoes over the summer. These shoes will then all be available to students in need of gym shoes for the 2021-2022 school year. They will be offered during the Grundy County Back to School Event 2021 hosted by Bright Futures Trenton.

Permission slips will soon be sent home with students, so parents can designate if they would like their child to donate their gym shoes. For more information, please contact Mrs. Critten at Rissler Elementary, 359-2228 or tcritten@trentonr9.k12.mo.us.

Vaccination Rates Vary Widely 37 Percent Of Missourians Have Had At Least One Dose KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vaccination rates vary widely across Kansas and Missouri as officials work to persuade more people to get the coronavirus shots.

Statistics on the vaccination campaign show some communities making good progress distributing the shots while other, often rural areas, lag behind. In Kansas, a 26-percentage point gap exists

between the county with the highest vaccination rate and the lowest. In Missouri, that gap is 33 percentage points.

The disparity could lead to islands of places where new infections are limited because of vaccinations next to places that continue to see hospitalizations linked to the virus, The Kansas City Star reports.

“The higher vaccinated counties will have less disease and less impact,” said Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Alan Morgan, CEO of the National Rural Health Association, said there could be lingering prob-

NAMING RIGHTS...

Mostly sunny skies will settle over Trenton this week with high temperatures sitting in the mid-tohigh 60’s. Overnight lows will be in the 40’s. The high in Trenton on Thursday was 77 with Friday reaching 82 and Saturday hitting 84. The high temperature on Sunday was 82 with a low of 59.

The high on Sunday at the Government Weather Station at the Barton Farm Campus was 81 with a low of 58.

The tennis courts at Trenton High School were officially named the ‘Carl Carpenter and Mike Bosley Courts’ at a ceremony on Saturday. The two long-time tennis coaches and supporters were honored at the event. SPORTS, PAGE 3

lems if rural and urban areas aren’t vaccinated at the same rates.

“We’re a mobile society, and if you have adjacent rural towns and rural communities not vaccinated, you’re still allowing this pandemic to continue into the future,” Morgan said.

Overall, 38% of all Kansans have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine and 37% of Missourians have received at least one dose.

In both states, health officials are turning their attention to smaller clinics and personal approaches to help reach people who are hesitant to get vaccinated.

Trenton No-Hit In Three-Inning Loss Trenton Cracks 400 At Lawson Tourney

Just A Tough Day All Around For The Bulldogs

Bulldogs In The Middle Of The Pack At Event

SOUTH HARRISON 20 TRENTON 2 - 3 INN. On Thursday at Burleigh Grimes Field in Trenton, a pair of Bulldog teams at the bottom of the Grand River Conference East Division standings collided. On the line was a GRC West crossover game. The East fields six teams, the West has just five. So whoever finishes sixth in the East will not have a crossover game to play when the divisions collide on May 6.

It will be South Harrison playing a GRC West foe on that date while Trenton stays home. The Purple Bulldogs bested the Black and Gold Bulldogs 20-2 in three innings in Thursday’s meeting.

From the onset things went awry for Trenton. South Harrison scored their first run of the game in the top of the first after a balk by Brayden Wiggins gave a South Harrison runner on third base a free trip to home plate. A two-out error would allow South Harrison to bring home a second run in the opening frame.

After Trenton’s first three batters were retired in order, South Harrison went back to work, adding five more runs in the second. A 13-run third inning for the visitors was more than enough to keep the game from reaching a fourth inning.

At the plate Trenton struggled, failing to record a hit in

the three-inning contest. The Bulldogs did plate two runs in the bottom of the third, however, doing so with walks, two stolen bases from Tucker Otto, a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice RBI from Wiggins.

The loss was the sixth straight for the Bulldogs, who fell to 2-10 overall on the season. Trenton’s GRC East standing finished at 0-5.

Things didn’t get any easier on Monday as Trenton played host to Chillicothe. Trenton will return to the diamond on Monday, May 10, traveling to Jamesport to take on a TriCounty-Gallatin co-op team playing under the Mustang banner. The first pitch is set for 5 p.m.

Shade Denotes Home Event

In one week, the Trenton High School boys golf team checked off two big goals it set for itself at the beginning of the season. One was to break 200 as a team in a dual, which they did at a home quad on Monday. The other was to break 400 as a team at a tournament. Thursday at the Lawson Tournament, the Bulldogs achieved that goal as well.

Behind a trio of players breaking 100, Trenton came around the 18-hole layout at the Hidden Valley Golf Course with a team score of 399. That mark placed Trenton seventh in a 14-team field at the Lawson Tournament.

“It was a real good day for the boys,” coach Travis Mullenix said. “It’s been a goal of ours to break 200 on nine and 400 on 18 as a team and we’ve been able to accomplish both.

Now we are looking to set some new ones.”

Trenton got a big boost toward hitting their goal with three players turning in sub100 scores. Brycin Loyd led the way with a score of 92, tying him for 13th individually at the tournament. Loyd had a stretch of five straight holes on the back nine where he carded a four or better. That run saw him collect two pars and a birdie. His back-nine total was 42 after shooting a 50 on the front nine.

Chase Otto followed with a score of 93 — one stroke off of his teammate’s pace. Otto collected three pars on the day, shooting a front-nine 47 and a back-nine 46. Gavin Roeder added a score of 96, using a front-nine 49 and back-nine 47 to arrive at his total.

“Brycin had a great day,” Mullenix said. “I’m very proud of how he is coming along and maturing as a golfer.

Chase also played extremely well. He is doing a great job as a first-year golfer. Gavin didn’t have his ‘A’ game today, but still managed a decent score for himself, which shows how much he has improved.”

With that trio combining for 281, Trenton had some breathing room with its fourth score to stay under 400. Preston Harris would card a 118 for Trenton’s fourth score and that was just enough to keep the team under 400 at 399. Patrick Behen was also in varsity action at the tournament, shooting a score of 120. Harris carded a 59 on both the front and back nines, while Behen shot a 60 on both sides to reach his total.

Richmond won the event with a team score of 340, besting runner-up Higginsville’s score of 351. Cameron was third with a mark of 367 and Lawson and Mid-Buchanan rounded out the top five with scores of 369 and 394 respectively.

RICHMOND TOURNEY Trenton was back in tournament action on Friday as well, but the team didn’t have the same luck, shooting a score of 441 to place them 14th in a field of 18.

Roeder’s score of 100 was the lowest on the team in Richmond while Loyd followed with a 106 and Otto carded a 114. A score of 121 from Harris rounded out the team’s total and Behen was again in varsity action, shooting a 133.

LeBlond won the team title with a score of 304 and St. Joseph Central was second with a mark of 308. Kansas City Barstow and Summit Christian Academy tied for third with scores of 356.

UP NEXT Trenton will be at the Grand River Conference Tournament in Cameron on Monday before a make-up dual with Chillicothe at the Green Hills Golf Course on Tuesday closes out the regular season.

Bosley, Carpenter Honored With Naming Trenton Tennis Team Sweeps Lexington

Ceremony Held Saturday To Rename Courts

Mike Bosley spent 29 falls and 35 springs calling the tennis courts at Trenton High School home. Now, the courts where he guided the Trenton girls and boys tennis teams to over 400 combined dual victories bear his name — along with that of Carl Carpenter, who started the programs at Trenton and coached the teams when the courts were built in 1973.

At a special ceremony on Saturday, Trenton officially rebranded the ‘Trenton High School tennis courts’ as the ‘Carl Carpenter and Mike Bosley Courts,’ honoring the two former coaches and longtime supporters of the school’s tennis programs.

Bosley had an incredible run at Trenton, leading the boys program for 35 years between 1975 and 2009. He led the girls team for 29 years, beginning in 1980 and coaching the team through the 2008 season. In the 2002 season he collected his 200th dual win with the girls program. In the spring of 2005 he reached the 200-win mark with the boys program. He coached 25 state qualifiers from Trenton.

Carpenter, meanwhile, started the tennis programs at Trenton and coached the boys team for three seasons from 1972-1974 and led the girls team from 1973-1977 — a five-year run. He coached both programs to their first victories on the courts after they were built just west of the high school.

The ceremony itself drew over 100 individuals and a monument with a bronze plaque was unveiled, honoring Bosley and Carpenter. The monument and other court signs unveiled were paid for entirely with private donations

as Stan Perry, Randall Hutchinson and Mitch Dougan — all of whom took turns speaking at the event — and others spearheaded the project.

Perry called Carpenter, who founded the tennis programs at Trenton the ‘Father of tennis in Trenton.’

The public raising the funds to accomplish the re-naming was just the latest example of the community backing the program, something Carpenter took great pride in.

“I thought that, ever since we started the program, we were very fortunate to have a community that was willing to provide the courts that we have,” Carpenter said. “We would go to neighboring schools in the area and find out that what we had were superior to most of the other schools’ courts. Now, to have my name attached to it is beyond my wildest dreams. I want to make sure everybody knows that I

appreciate what the community has done, particularly what this small group of people has done, for tennis in Trenton.”

During his comments to the public gathered, Bosley expressed thanks to several people, including the man whose name is next to his on the new court signage.

“I want to thank Carl for the coaching, teaching and a lot of advice through the years,” Bosley said. “It’s a real honor to be sharing this with him and all of his family.”

Carpenter’s and Bosley’s marks on the program are wide ranging. David Sager and Tammy Ockenfels — the current tennis coaches at Trenton

— both played under Bosley in high school. The programs Carpenter established are nearing their 50th seasons.

“This is 48 years since the start of tennis (at THS),” Bosley said. “We are coming up on 50, so we weren’t just a flash in the pan as they say.”

Trenton’s first dual on the renamed courts will take place today (Tuesday) as the Trenton boys tennis team plays host to Cameron in a dual. First serves are scheduled for 4 p.m.

There wasn’t a whole lot to Trenton’s dual victory over the Minutemen on the road in Lexington on Thursday. Lexington featured just two players, meaning Trenton had the dual won on forfeits before a serve was ever tossed.

But Trenton was able to get on-court victories over Lexington’s doubles team and beat both Minutemen individually as well to take all three matches and sweep the dual 90.

Jonin Villacampa and Riley Walker combined to score an 8-0 doubles victory. Trent Villacampa then scored an 8-1

singles win and Bradyn Sager won his singles match 8-0 to wrap up the dual.

Maverick Sole, Dylan Smith and Victor Markell did not get matches on the day.

With the win, Trenton improved to 8-2 overall on the season.

The Bulldogs were back in action on Monday, traveling to Kirksville for a dual and Trenton hosts Cameron today at the newly minted Carl Carpenter and Mike Bosley Courts at Trenton High School. First serves for the dual with the Dragons are scheduled for 4 p.m.

Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled in Grundy County partnered with Bright Futures and Backpack Buddies in the April 22 “Walk Against Hunger” Campaign, which included 24 FFDD participants walking the track at C.F. Russell Stadium with their backpacks, raising money to be donated to the two organizations. A total of $2,105 was raised by supporters placing donations in the backpacks. The money has been split evenly between the two organizations and those involved in FFDD have the pride of knowing they helped make a difference in the community. Kayla Graham, executive director of the FFDD, organized the event with the help of several volunteers, including David Burkeybile and the Trenton High School mascots, who provided music and fun at the event.

Dear Annie: I have been married for more than 30 years, and we have one teenage daughter who will be attending college in the fall. My husband and I have lived like roommates for the last 10 years. We co-exist, raising our daughter as civilly as we can.

I have gone to counseling off and on for years, trying to improve our relationship. He has gone a handful of times but is now refusing to go as he thinks there is nothing wrong with our relationship.

We have no affection or intimacy toward one another whatsoever. He has been retired for three years and has several joint issues he is dealing with, which limits our activities together.

He is very negative and picks at things constantly. I work out of the home and do all the household chores, cook, clean and take care of my daughter's needs. He only does yard maintenance, refusing to help me otherwise.

Needless to say, I am frustrated, angry and lonely and not sure, after my daughter leaves, if this marriage will survive. -Barely Hanging In There

Dear Barely Hanging In There: You say that he is negative and picks at things constantly. However, I have to give it to you straight: Your letter is pretty negative and is picking at everything he does wrong. It sounds like both of you are playing a part in your frustration, anger and loneliness.

Keep talking to a professional marriage therapist. If he refuses to go with you, then go for yourself. Being willing to own your part in your unhappiness will be more freeing than you think. And use that freedom and clarity to decide how you want your marriage and life to look, with or without him.

Dear Annie: Recently, my older sister called me to say that she needed a place to stay.

We have had little to no contact before this. She said the home she had been renting was being sold.

I have opened my home to many who were not family in the past and struggle with saying no. However, I don't think she has a plan for obtaining her own place. She is not viewing this as a temporary situation.

I am charging her rent, but I value my space and privacy more than the extra income. I am single. My children are adults and living in their own homes. How do I tell my sister that this is a temporary situation and she needs a plan to get her own place? -- A Place of One's Own Dear Place: The best way to address this matter with your sister is to be honest from the beginning. The fact that you are aware that it's been difficult for you to say no in the past is a good start. Set clear expectations for everything. Remind yourself -- and tell your sister - how much you value your space and privacy at this stage of your life. Once those expectations on timing, finances and space are set and agreed on by both of you, then you could help her find a place of her own.

Netflix growth slows Netflix is discovering that record growth is a tough act to follow after gaining nearly 37 million subscribers last year, as the pandemic created a captive audience for its video streaming service.

The degree of difficulty hit home during the first three months of this year when Netflix added just 4 million subscribers, a 75% drop from the same time last year.

While no one expected Netflix to come close to matching last year’s pandemic-fueled performance, it was a start that even disappointed the company’s own management. Netflix had projected

an increase of 6 million subscribers for the January-March period.

Now Netflix could be headed for its weakest year of growth since 2016, when its service gained 18.3 million subscribers. Analysts are forecasting Netflix will gain about 20 million subscribers by the time this year is over, down from the 25 million subscribers they were expected the service to add before the company recently released its lackluster first-quarter results.

The slow start has left Netflix’s stock down by about 15% from its peak price in January.

One vehicle had to be towed from the scene after an accident investigated April 24 at the intersection of Ninth and Kerfoot streets.

According to Trenton Police Sgt. Jeb Walker’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a sport utility vehicle driven by William R. Bibler of Leesburg, FL, was traveling northbound on Kerfoot.

There was extensive damage to the SUV’s front end and it was towed from the scene. There was minor damage to the trailer.

No injuries were reported in the mishap.

There was minor damage to two vehicles in an accident investigated Sunday morning by the TPD. Chief Rex Ross submitted a report that indicates a car driven by Britney M. Colston of Trenton was backing from a driveway at 105 Maupin Street when the vehicle struck a parked vehicle owned by Hunter M. Beasley of Overland Park, KS. The right rear of her car struck the left side of Beasley’s vehicle, causing the damage.

No tickets were issued in the mishap.

Paul Harris Fellows Recognized At Rotary Meeting The Trenton Rotary Club recognized several members as Paul Harris Fellow recipients during an evening dinner meeting on Thursday, April 29 at Cross Hall on the campus of North Central Missouri College. Kim Washburn presided over the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was sergeant at arms.

A total of 12 members were announced as recipients of the Paul Harris Fellow, which recognizes individual contributions to the Rotary program and to the Rotary Foundation.

The Trenton club is a yearly contributor to the foundation, which provides funds for various projects including several grants received by the Trenton club for projects ranging from the purchase and installation of handicap playground equipment at Eastside Park to working with Bright Futures Trenton to renovate a room at Rissler Elementary School for use by the Bright Futures program. For each $1,000 contribution to the Foundation, the club can designate one individual as a Paul Harris Fellow and this year, because of individual and club donations, 12 persons received the honor. As a result,

the Trenton club becomes the ninth club among 56 in District 6040 to be a 100 percent-member Paul Harris club.

Receiving the Paul Harris Fellow designation were Brent Wyant, David Bain, Dr. Hessam Borhani, Jacob Black, Michael Ormsby, Mike Stegman, Ryan Tepen, Tara Walker, Amy Lewis, Donita Youtsey, Mark Hackathorn and Micah Landes.

District Governor-Elect David McCaughey gave a short history of the Rotary Foundation and Paul Harris Fellow program, which began in 1917 with a $26.50 donation from the Kansas City Rotary Club. He also participated in the Paul Harris Fellow presentation along with District Governor Donald Gladhart, who also spoke about Rotary’s impact around the world. He also recognized Trenton member Dan Wilford for his many contributions to the foundation over the years, presenting him with a pin. Club President Kim Washburn recognized member Don Purkapile as the club’s “go-to person for all things related to the Rotary Foundation,” noting his many years of service on behalf of the club.

The club recently made a donation to the Rotary Foundation in memory of the late Joe Brinser, a long-time member and former club president.

His brother, Robert Brinser, and son, Justin Brinser, were present and were formally designated as honorary Paul Harris members on Joe’s behalf.

During the business meeting, an update was given on the club’s Shoes for Orphan Souls/Bright Futures Trenton shoe project. Shoes have been donated and money contributed, which will be used to purchase additional shoes. The shoes will be officially presented at the District 6040 convention at Kansas City in May.
