Trenton R-9 To Offer Virtual Class Option Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Trenton R-9 School District is giving parents the option of sending their students to school in person or through a virtual learning option during the 2020-21 school year. According to information released by the district on Friday, Aug. 7, parents and students may choose to attend by either remote learning or by physically attending class. The district says parents need to be aware the virtual option is not a self-paced platform and will parallel what is taking place in the classroom. Students will be held to the same attendance standards as those who are physically attending classes, with district staff following the guidelines/regulations necessary to be in compliance with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education regard-
ing attendance. The guidelines/regulations will also be in place if all facilities are closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Trenton R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman said students choosing the virtual option will see the regular instructor teaching the class although the teacher may not be on camera the entire time as he/she moves around the classroom. Stegman stressed instruction will not be similar to how classes were taught, when they were self-paced and, for the most part, were voluntary, especially for elementary students. Most younger students will require an adult to assist them with lessons during the school day. Stegman said it is unknown at this time how many students will utilize the virtual system and agreed it is a

fluid situation, requiring district officials to continue making decisions as the school year moves forward. The guidelines/regulations for the virtual learning option, as outlined by the school district, include: • the student and parent will both be required to sign a daily log sheet for attendance. The logs will be turned in to the district at the end of each week. • attendance will be taken just as if they were in class at school. • students who do not participate in their live learning activities and do not produce the daily log may be considered truant from school. • the minimum amount of educational time is six hours per day. • if the student attends remotely, he/she will not be able to attend and/or participate in extracurricular
lunch program during the spring school closure). • students who opt into the Remote-Live Learning option will remain on that plan for the entire semester. Changes in delivery system will only occur at the discretion of the building administrator and take place at the semester break. To enroll a student in the virtual option, parents must complete the form, which can be found on the district website www.trentonr9.k12.mo.us, to acknowledge they have read, understand and agree to the policies and procedures as outlined. A separate form is required for each student and the form must be returned to the office of the school where the student will be attending by Friday, Aug. 14.

Morikawa Claims PGA Title Eagle On 16th All But Clinches Championship
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The shot will be remembered as one of the best under pressure that hardly anyone witnessed. It made Collin Morikawa a major champion Sunday in a thrill-a-minute PGA Championship that not many will forget. Morikawa hit driver on the 294-yard 16th hole that was perfect in flight and even better when it landed, hopping onto the green and rolling to 7 feet for an eagle that all but clinched victory on a most quiet Sunday afternoon at Harding Park. In the first major without spectators, the 23-year-old Californian finished with a bang. He closed with a 6under 64, the lowest final round by a PGA champion in 25 years, for a two-shot victory over Paul Casey and Dustin Johnson, two of 10 players who had a chance on the back nine. Now, Morikaw has three PGA Tour victories and is No. 5 in the world. For Johnson, it was another major that got away. It was his fifth runner-up finish in a major and his second straight at the PGA Championship. Morikawa finished at 13under 267.

INTO THE UNKNOWN Bulldog Teams Begin Practice For Seasons That May Not Finish It’s a fall sports season that opened like every one before it. How it ends, though, is anyone’s guess. On Monday, Trenton High School’s fall sports teams took part in the first official practices of the season. Fall sports are scheduled to begin on Friday, Aug. 28, when the Trenton Bulldogs host Brookfield in football at C.F. Russell Stadium. That’s just three weeks away, yet getting there will take some doing - and some luck. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on normalcy, Trenton is doing its best to ensure athletes stay healthy and avoid a forced shutdown that would present a huge hurdle for fall sports to still take place. At the tennis courts, players arrived wearing masks and only removed them when actually taking part in activities on the courts. At the softball diamond, a team normally sharing one dugout was divided into two. “It just gutted me last year to see those seniors not get the spring season,� Trenton softball coach Joel Hultman said. “I then think of this year’s seniors and think of all the things that are going on and it’s something that just doesn’t happen, so you really don’t know how to feel. What I tell my family and what I tell my girls is that we are just going to take it one day at a time and we are going to try our best not only on the softball field to get better, but off of it we are going to do the safe things. When they go out in public they are going to try to social distance and wear a mask. We are just trying to do our best and, hopefully, play as many games as we can.� Already, the coronavirus has impacted Trenton’s schedules. The Midland Empire Conference cancelled all tournaments in all sports to limit gatherings at athletic events to no more than two schools. That removed the season-

Maci Moore turns a double play during a drill at the first softball practice of the fall sports season on Monday. Moore and the Bulldogs were scheduled to open the softball season at the Cameron Tournament on Aug. 28-29, but that event was canceled by the MEC, which Cameron is a member of, in an effort to limit large gatherings due to the coronavirus. Trenton will hopefully open the season on Tuesday, Sept. 1, hosting Putnam County in a Grand River Conference match-up.
opening Cameron Tournament from the Trenton softball schedule. Lexington High School cancelled all fall sports at the urging of the Lafayette County Health Department. That left Trenton losing a tennis and volleyball home date this season and athletic director John Cowling scrambling to fill the voids. With the uncertainty looming, Trenton’s teams are approaching the 2020 fall sports season with more importance put on practices or anything that brings teams together. Knowing not all contests may be played, practices now have added meaning for the Bulldogs. “We are just being thankful for every day we can have on the courts together,� Trenton tennis coach Tammy Ockenfels said ahead of her squad’s first practice of the year. “In July we were able to have some open courts and
I had my camp that lasted four days and we were able to make every one of those days and that was so nice. I told (the team) that every day that we can get together is another day to get ready for the season. They are positive and they just want to play. As a coach, you can’t ask for much more than a group of girls that wants to play and be together.� The Missouri State High School Activities Association, the governing body for high school sports in the state, is doing everything it can to guarantee a fall sports championship season in the state. Last week the organization lifted restrictions, allowing schools offering online-only formats to compete this fall. Trenton has added a distance learning program for students who do not wish to attend school in person, but stu-
dents choosing that route will not be eligible to participate in fall sports. MSHSAA grants schools the final say in determining student eligibility for sports. The Bulldogs will continue practices all week, with some sports holding Saturday practices as well in an effort to get students competition eligible as soon as possible. With the uncertain status of the impending season, Trenton will likely try to get as many contests played as early as possible. That means making up cancelled contests and tournaments as early in the year as possible. The season may not have the ending teams will want, but it had its beginning on Monday. Bats cracked, gloves popped and tennis balls and volleyballs raced back and forth over nets. At least for a day, it was business as usual for Trenton athletics.

Members are asked to bring lawnchairs for seating.
Colleen Wouters Missouri Information Corps When Gina Mossburg tested positive for COVID-19 on July 8th, she thought it would be “no big deal.” But the elementary school teacher from Eagleville, Missouri, was surprised by how much the virus affected her. One day, she walked to her mailbox and wasn’t sure she could make it back. Some days, it felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her body hurt from her fingertips to her toes. Even though she only had a moderate case of COVID-19, she said, “I honestly have never felt that horrible and I’ve had influenza A and B and the stomach flu before. It really doesn't compare.” The virus made its way through her family, bringing symptoms like nausea, fever, muscle aches, headache, cough and major fatigue along with it. It took two weeks before she finally started feeling like herself again. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients are considered to be recovered from COVID-19 when 10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms, with at least 24 hours fever-free and improvement in other symptoms. In other words, cases are counted as recovered when the patient is no longer contagious. But it can take weeks before patients truly feel well again. A CDC study surveyed people 18-34 years old 2-3 weeks after testing positive for COVID19. The study found 35% of young, otherwise healthy people weren’t back to their usual health. “The duration of symptoms can be really varied between individuals,” said Taylor Nelson, a doctor from the Division of Infectious Diseases at MU Health Care. Recovery depends on the severity of the infection, as well as the person’s underlying health or medical conditions, according to Nelson. A young, healthy person with a mild infection may have a fairly uneventful recovery. She said that regardless of how severe the in-

fection is, many people will experience symptoms for a long time. “Cough, shortness of breath and fatigue may last for weeks,” Nelson said. “There have been some reports of symptoms persisting for several months, as well.” Kalea Sullins, a communicable disease nurse at Pettis County Health Center has seen several symptoms that can last longer than the 14-day quarantine. This is why, after the final check-up with a COVID-19 patient, her county doesn’t label them as ‘recovered.’ “We label them as ‘resolved’ because they aren't communicable anymore. They could still be having symptoms,” Sullins said. Some of those long term symptoms include a cough, the loss of taste and smell and extreme fatigue. Though it depends on the individual, Sullins has seen patients have a nagging cough for up to a month or longer after the onset of symptoms. “Everybody just feels really rundown, even after they're in isolation and are able to rest for 10 days and be able to just let the body rest and hydrate. So whenever they get back to normal activities, they're still feeling really rundown,” Sullins said. For Mossburg, she felt she was returning back to normal after two weeks, but she still wasn’t sure how much her body could handle. She explained that with COVID-19, recovery isn’t linear. “There was one day, I think day seven,” she said. “I thought — ‘I am pretty much over this, I feel great.’ And then the next day, I had totally taken five steps back and felt terrible again.” Mossburg has since gotten better, with the help of her family and her doctor. In a Facebook post, she said that she wants people to take the virus seriously, even if they personally don’t know anyone who has tested positive. “I consider myself recovered now,” she said. “I mean, it was rough, but I made it through.”

• Remove the seeds or plants and at least 3 inches of the surrounding soil and place inside a plastic bag. • Squeeze out the air and tightly seal the bag. • Place the bag inside a second plastic bag, squeeze out the air and seal it tightly. • Put the bag in the municipal trash. Do not compost it. If you planted the seeds in reusable pots or containers, wash the planting container with soap and water to remove any remaining dirt. It’s important to wash the container over a sink or other container to catch the runoff. Put the run-off down the drain or flush down a toilet. Soak clean planting container in a 10 percent bleach and water solution for 30 minutes. Based on what we know now, it appears this is all part of what is known as a “brushing scam,â€? where online retailers, often from China, send unsolicited packages containing items of a minimal value to people and then post fake online reviews for their products. The idea behind all of this is to con American consumers into buying whatever poorly made junk these con artists are hocking on the internet. It’s an unbelievable slap in the face to Americans who are currently struggling through a global pandemic that is a direct result of the lies of the communist regime in China. So remember, if you get strange seeds in the mail that you didn’t order, don’t open the seed package and definitely don’t plant them.
Town Divided Over Mascot Name
SAVANNAH, Mo. (AP) — A nearly all-white northwest Missouri town is divided over an effort to change its high school's “Savages� mascot that depicts a Native American amid a nationwide movement calling for racial justice. The high school had a “Savannah Savages� mascot since at least 1926 and the name and the image of a Native American are emblazoned around the community. Savannah, a town of about 5,000 residents about 65 miles (104.61 kilometers) north of Kansas City, was built on land that once belonged to several Native American tribes. “You literally can’t miss it if you drive through town. It’s everywhere,� said Savannah High School graduate Amanda Barr, who started a petition to change the name in response to racial injustice protests that have spurred other towns and sports teams to reconsider mascots or names considered racially offensive. Barr's petition prompted a second petition by people who want to keep the name. The issue is so divisive that a meeting of the Savannah School District's school board in July had to be moved to a gymna-

souri could soon see a flood of disconnections. James Owen is the executive director of Renew Missouri, an organization working for renewable and accessible energy within the state. Neighboring states like Kansas and Illinois have issued moratoriums on utility disconnections. Owen said that Missouri’s lack of a statewide utility disconnection freeze will have dire consequences. “Bill collection efforts are going to hit Missouri at the same time that people are having to deal with their rents, with their mortgage payments, with being laid off because the PPP loans are out,� he said. “It’s going to put people in a real horrible situation, if it hasn’t already.� At the state level, Missouri’s Department of Social Services received $15 million in additional funding from the federal coronavirus relief bill to fund
its Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Public and private agencies are working together to provide assistance for people unable to pay their utility bills. “Those additional dollars enable the Department of Social Services to double the maximum benefit amount to $600 and to serve the needs of a greater number of Missourians who are now facing a crisis,� Rebecca Woelfel, a spokeswoman for the department, said in an email. Missourians with income up to 135 percent of the federal poverty line are eligible for the assistance. In fiscal year 2019, 114,639 Missouri households received assistance through the program, Woelfel said. Local resource offices, like Central Missouri Community Action, can help people apply for the energy assistance program.
sium because the crowd was so large. Speakers were evenly divided on the issue, The Kansas City Star reported. Kendra Haag, 29, a member of the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas who graduated from Savanna High School in 2009, notes that “savages is a racial slur against Native Americans� Barr, 36, who now lives in Missoula, Montana, said the mascot made her “feel ill� when she was in school. Barr's petition has drawn more than 6,400 signatures from across the nation and spawned a website, standupsavannah.com. Jeffrey Hovey of Savannah, who organized the Keep the Savannah Savages Mascot petition, said on his Facebook page “a savage can be from any race or land,� although the high school's mascot includes an image of a Native American. He wrote that the mascot “has
no bad intentions towards anyone or any race.� The counterpetition has so far generated nearly 2,600 signatures. Opponents often mention the potential cost of changing the name and symbol. The school board took no action at its July 14 meeting because the issue wasn't on the planned agenda. It is unclear if any action will be taken, said district spokeswoman Jess Gillett, who said about half of those who spoke were for changing the name and half were against it. “It hasn’t ever come before the school board before,� Gillett said. “It has been something that has been talked about unofficially in the community. It gets brought up every couple of years. Somebody will say, ‘Hey, have you ever thought about changing your mascot?’ That’s usually as far as it goes and it stops there."
HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov
ADDRESSING VIOLENT CRIME The Missouri Legislature has returned to Jefferson City, after the governor called us back for an extra session to look at ways to curb violent crime in our state. Sadly, we have seen increases in crime rates in parts of Missouri, particularly in our three largest cities. Crafting legislation at the state level means taking into account all of the differences in our state, and this instance is a good example. What may work for St. Louis or Kansas City may not fit so well in smaller towns, which is just about all we have in northwest Missouri. So, lawmakers’ task will be to assess the situations that currently exist not only in those cities where violent crime is the worst, but also make sure whatever legislation comes from our work also helps to reduce crime in our state’s rural communities. The extraordinary session started on July 27, at which point Senate Bill 1 was introduced. This measure contains numerous reforms, including changes to residency requirements for police officers and other public safety officials in St. Louis, juve-
nile certification for certain crimes, admittance of hearsay evidence in court, reforms to the state’s child endangerment statues, creation of a witness protection fund and increase penalties for the unlawful transfer of weapons. Again, I believe the goal here is to pinpoint specific areas where legislation could help, rather than create a blanket approach that may do more harm than good in some parts of our state. Senate Bill 1 was heard in a Missouri Senate committee on July 28. The committee expects to give its approval to the proposal this week, which means the entire Senate can then discuss the bill on the floor of the Missouri Senate, with the goal of sending it to the Missouri House of Representatives before the end of the week. 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 address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Shelburne Cathy Rice The topic of discussion this week has been about how green everything still looks in August. What a lovely treat after all the ruckus and fuss over a pandemic. Next week, Jamesport children will be going back to school after being out since mid-March. I
must admit I did enjoy a four and one-half-month break. But, I'm a homebody, so that makes a difference. I heard there were folks who got all kinds of deep cleaning and organizing done during this time. Me, not so much. I suppose I could feel bad about it but, instead, I just looked at it as a
staycation and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. On Sunday, Aug. 7, Pastor Aaron Stark gave the message at the Shelburne Baptist Church, using scripture Romans 4:1-3 as reference. Several in the congregation have been very ill over the past few weeks and members are pray-
ing for recovery. The community is also sad to hear of the passing of Sandra Vencill.

Dear Annie: I have an absolutely wonderful boyfriend who I have been with for nearly two years. The only issue we have is regarding some of my exes. Although I have proven to him that I have no lingering feelings whatsoever, he has a hard time when they come up in anyone's conversation, or if they contact me out of the blue. Recently, one of my exes, "Josh," was in a very bad place because of extensive drug use, overall recklessness, violence and possible attempted suicide. He did not have many people looking out for him, so I wanted to reach out to hear his side of things and see if I could help, because this was nothing like the person I knew. I was very worried. And for my sake, too, I wanted to know if I really dated someone who did the terrible things I was hearing, and I just wanted some closure. I wasn't sure if being on his radar was the best thing, but my boyfriend especially did not want me to have

any communication with him, partly out of concern for my safety. Ultimately, I decided that my boyfriend is too important for me to make him uncomfortable, so I didn't talk to Josh. Now I have gotten the news that Josh committed suicide, and I am absolutely crushed. I knew him as a great person with big dreams, but I ended things when I saw him going down a dark road with drug use. However, I always had hope things would turn back around for him. I can't help feeling some resentment toward my boyfriend. Was my boyfriend justified in his hesitation? Do I need to just get over the guilt of not helping Josh and not blame my boyfriend, or, under the circumstances, should my boyfriend have accepted me talking to him? Should I have contacted Josh anyway knowing he needed help regardless of my boyfriend's feelings? -Not Sure How to Feel Dear Not Sure How to Feel: I'm so sorry for your

loss and that Josh could not reach out for professional help in time. The key words in that sentence are "professional help." While you sound like an amazing person, Josh needed to seek out professional help. You cannot blame yourself for his death, nor can you blame your boyfriend. As for your boyfriend's jealousy, that is a trust issue. Perhaps he needs more reassurance in your relationship. If you want to be a friend and keep in touch with your exes, by all means, do so. However, when you do, be open and honest about it. If that doesn't work for you and your boyfriend, it is better to know now, not after he has become another ex.

Disney Plus performs Its stores and theme parks had to close during the pandemic and are only starting to reopen. Its big-budget movies still aren’t making it to theaters. But Disney has one big thing going for it: Its new streaming service, Disney Plus. The entertainment conglomerate reported grim quarterly earnings earlier this week, with revenue falling 42% amid the coronavirus chaos. Closed parks alone cost it $3.5 billion. Disney Plus, however, has garnered 57.5 million subscribers since it launched in November. Hits like “Hamilton” and Beyonce’s “Black is King” have added buzz at a time
when many people are stuck at home. Larger rival Netflix, which has been building a base of subscribers for years, has about 193 million global subscribers. Disney could be catching up. Its major streaming services, which include ESPN Plus and Hulu, surpassed 100 million combined paid subscribers during the quarter. Disney plans yet another new streaming service for overseas markets. Scheduled for a 2021 launch, it will offer general entertainment under the Star brand, a well known media company in India that Disney acquired when it purchased Fox entertainment assets last year.

Disney Plus was the one bright spot of Disney earnings this quarter, with subscribers growing nicely. Its combined streaming properties could be a challenge to Netflix.
