TRENTON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES

Free Chlorine Conversion

Yearly Water System Process The Trenton Municipal Utilities Water Treatment Plant will begin utilizing free chlorine, or a free chlorine conversion, in its water system on Wednesday, April 24. According to water distribution supervisor Steve Reid, this process entails feeding free chlorine, instead of chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia) as the disinfectant is leaving the water treatment plant. This will affect customers of Trenton Municipal Utilities, Grundy County PWSD #1, the city of Galt, and the city of Spickard. This will occur for four to six weeks. Reid noted the city’s water is safe to drink and that this proceess is being done to assure that customers continue to be provided with a quality water source. This is not a new process as

TMU has conducted similar processes in 2018, 2017 and 2016. TMU has provided some commonly asked questions and answers about free chlorine conversions and their purpose: • What are the possible noticeable effects? There are no associated health risks to the process. During these efforts to improve water quality, there will be times of lower water pressure, possible odor, taste, discoloration and small particles in the water. TMU and/or your water service will attempt to flush the particles, color, taste and odors from the mains with directional flushing. However there is a possibility that some of the color, odor and taste will get into your service line. • Is my water safe to drink? Yes, The TMU Water Department is dedicated to

making sure the water is safe to drink and will monitor disinfectant levels continually during the conversion. If you experience odor or taste in your water, it does not mean it is unsafe to drink. Odors are caused by the free chlorine disinfectant cleansing the system. Nuisance issues will go away as the work is completed. • Why is this burn out necessary? TMU and their customer departments are tasked with ensuring that the water in all points of their systems are acceptable to their customers. Over time, minerals and metals, which are naturally present in the water source, can increase and attach to pipe walls, and then release when there are changes in pressure. This can result in See Water, Page 12

Trenton Relays

HOUSE RULES Trenton Girls Dominate Home Relays, Remain Undefeated

When Lexi Whitaker crossed the finish line in the 4x400-meter relay - the final event of the 2019 Trenton Relays - she turned around in her lane and waited. Ten seconds passed, then 15, then 20, then 25. Finally, 30 seconds after Whitaker broke the tape, Higginsvilleâ€™s anchor runner crossed the stripe for the second-place finish. The gap in the finish of the final event was the perfect microcosm for the Trenton Relays on Thursday as the Trenton girls kept their undefeated streak alive with 142 team points. Brookfield finished second in the team standings, but barely tallied half the points Trenton did, finishing with 74. â€œOverall I was really proud of the way the girls performed, especially at a home meet in front of the community,â€? Trenton Coach Chris Parks said. â€œIt was just an exceptionally good job out of all of the girls.â€? Trenton won eight events at the meet, including all four relays. The 4x800-meter relay team of Gwyneth Foster, Gracyn Rongey, Katie Markell and McKayla Blackburn was the first to collect gold, winning with a time of 11:51.13. The 4x100-meter relay team of Lexi Gott, Mykah Hurley, Emma Curtis and Shay Westerhof won with a time of 56.63. Whitaker was joined by Gott, Kristi Ewing and Chandler Lynch in a winning effort in the 4x400-meter relay, taking first in that event with a time of 4:34.54. The same four combined to win the 4x200meter relay with a time of 1:54.04. In addition to the four relay titles, Trenton won four individual events. Whitaker was perfect again, adding gold medals in the 300-meter hurdles and 200-meter dash to cap a four-for-four day. She won

the 300 hurdles with a time of 49.49 and fended off Princetonâ€™s Jaylen Steeby-Thomas in the 200 to win with a time of 27.67. Ewing earned a third gold medal with a win in the 400meter dash, taking that event with a time of 1:02.83. Hurley won herself a second gold medal, taking first in the long jump with a mark of 15-7.5. Hurleyâ€™s win in the long jump was the lone gold medal for the Bulldogs in the field, but Trenton double-placed in several field events to pile up points in a hurry at the beginning of the meet. Curtis was fourth in the long jump with a leap of 14-0 and Maci Moore and Hurley were second and third, respectively, in the triple jump, with Moore posting a mark of 31-8 and Hurley jumping 30-10. Moore was fourth in the high jump with a mark of 4-4, right ahead of teammate Sidney Lynch, who also cleared 4-4, but having more tries finished fifth. Salem Croy was third in the javelin with a throw of 106-1 and Sidney Lynch finished right behind Croy with a throw of 96-6 for fifth place. Moore added a sixth-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 32-9.5 to round out Trentonâ€™s points in the field. Other placewinners for Trenton included Ewing, second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.7; Westerhof, third in the 200-meter dash with a time of 30.41 and fourth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 14.11; Rongey, fourth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 6:35.73; Blackburn, fifth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:51.27; Evy McCullough, fifth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 20.59; and Foster, sixth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:55.32. â€œIn all my years of coaching track, this is probably the most balanced, most specialized

fourth in the triple jump with a mark of 37-10. Behind Ewing on the track, Matt Sibbit was second in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.66 and fourth in the 300meter hurdles with a time of 45.0. Kayden Spencer was third in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 11:32.03 and Hayden Griffin was sixth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.3. In the final event of the night, Trentonâ€™s 4x400-meter relay team of Sibbit, Griffin, Harris and Camdyn Leeper placed third with a time of 3:53.47. â€œI was really pleased with our performance,â€? Trenton boys Coach Lysander Overstreet said. â€œI think the cold, the wind and everything was a little bit of a factor. We didnâ€™t run our best times or have our best distances, but I think our guys hung in there all the way through. A lot of the points we earned came from doubling up in events, which is always a good thing. Down the road thatâ€™s what we are going to need to do if we are going to be competitive in our conference as well as at districts.â€? The Trenton boys have now placed runner-up at three of their four meets, the only outlier being a fourth-place finish at the Joe Shy Relays in Chillicothe. Both Trenton teams will return to action on Monday, traveling back to Higginsville for the second time this season for the Higginsville Relays.

TRENTONâ€ˆBOYS The Trenton boys had a strong day as well, but for the second meet in a row the Bulldogs were bested by Brookfield by just five points. Brookfieldâ€™s 97 points won the boys title as Trenton finished in the runner-up spot with 92 points. At the Brookfield Quad earlier in the week, Trenton tallied 105 points to finish as runner-up to Brookfieldâ€™s 110 points. A good day in the field combined with Brian Ewingâ€™s ontrack feats got Trenton to its 90-plus point total.

Kirksville Under The Lights Tournament

Bulldogs Win Team Title The Trenton High School boys tennis team continued to dominate the competition, tying for first place at the Kirksville Under The Lights Tournament, which was held on Thursday and Friday. Trenton nearly swept doubles play on Thursday, going 3-0 against both Chillicothe and Kirksville before running a 1-2 record against Grain Valley. When action turned to singles play on Friday, Trenton went 4-2 against Chillicothe, 3-3 against Kirksville and 3-3 against Grain Valley. Thursdayâ€™s doubles play saw the Trenton duo of Nick Shields and Creed Houghton go undefeated. The team netted 8-0 victories over their Chillicothe and Grain Valley foes and they collected an 8-4 win over Kirksvilleâ€™s top doubles team in the middle. The 30 showing with a combined score of 24-4 earned Shields and Houghton first-place

medals for doubles play. Gabe Swann and Jeremy Elliott were 2-1 on the day, winning 8-2 against Chillicothe and 8-3 against Kirksville before falling 9-8 on a 7-4 tiebreaker against Grain Valley. Isaac Harris and Weston Otto earned wins of 8-5 over Chillicothe and 8-6 over Kirksville before falling 8-3 to Grain Valley. In singles play on Friday, Shields and Swann were both undefeated at 3-0. Shields won 8-4 over Chillicothe, 8-6 over Kirksville and 8-4 over Grain Valley while Swann won 8-0 over Chillicothe, 8-6, over Kirksville and 8-2 over Grain Valley. Swannâ€™s 24-8 margin of victory in his three matches combined gave him the first-place singles medal. Swannâ€™s 3-0 finish at the tournament also pushed him past 50 singles wins for his career.

Behind Swann and Shields, Elliott was 2-1, getting an 8-0 win over Chillicothe and an 85 win over Grain Valley. Elliottâ€™s lone loss was a 9-7 loss to Kirksville. Houghton and Harris were each 1-2, Houghton defeating Kirksville 9-8 with a 7-5 tiebreaker and falling 8-6 to both Chillicothe and Grain Valley and Harris scoring an 82 win over Chillicothe to go with an 8-6 loss to Kirksville and an 8-3 loss to Grain Valley.

Trentonâ€ˆScores Trio Of Wins Entering Thursday, the Trenton Bulldogs faced the task of playing four games in three days. With pitch limit rules from MSHSAA in place, Trenton was in somewhat of a tight spot. But the Bulldogs navigated through the stretch with about as positive results as they could have hoped for. Trenton scored a 5-3 win at Milan on Thursday and a 12-2 win over East Harrison on Friday before finishing 1-1 at the MidBuchanan Tournament on Saturday. The Bulldogs fell 16-8 to St. Joseph Christian in the semifinals before bouncing back with a 14-6 win over TriCounty/Gallatin in the thirdplace game. â€œWeâ€™ve been preparing for this,â€? Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. â€œI think we are one of the bigger schools around here so our schedule is kind of compact, which is good because we get more games. Because of the pitch limits that MSHSAAâ€ˆhas set, though, itâ€™s also been a challenge. Everybody on our team is a pitcher, though, and thatâ€™s how we have been preparing.â€? Trenton used six different pitchers across the four games and, for the most part, got strong results. Chase Otto (1-2) gave Trenton the biggest boost in the first of the four games on Thursday. Otto threw just the second seven-inning complete game in program history, lifting the Bulldogs past Grand River Conference foe Milan and saving arms for Trenton for the weekend. Otto allowed three runs, all of which were unearned, and scattered four hits and one walk while striking out three. The Trenton pitcher used 95 pitches to navigate the seven innings. In one frame, Otto recorded three outs on just four

pitches. Otto also helped himself out at the plate where he was 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, a run scored and a steal. â€œChase had a rough start to the season,â€? Hultman said. â€œItâ€™s hard as a coach because you know what he can do, but in baseball sometimes when you try too hard, you donâ€™t get results. He has calmed down and tried not to do too much. Just locate and move the ball around and use his defense. He did that and got the results he has been looking for, not just on the mound but at the plate too going 2-for-2 and drawing a walk as well. I see him having a big season the rest of the way.â€? Behind Otto, Trenton got two hits each from Quincy Griffin and Brice Gibler in the win. The Bulldogs carried the momentum of the win over into the next night where they toppled East Harrison 12-2, doing so in five innings after taking the contest by the 10run rule. Trenton again got a strong performance on the hill as Tanner Lynch (2-1) threw into the fourth inning, going three and two-thirds frames. He allowed no runs, yielding two hits and three walks while striking out five. Logan Stanton took the game to the finish, allowing two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out two. Offensively, Lynch was two-for-two with a double, two RBIs and a run scored. Griffin was one-for-four with two RBIs, Royce Jackson was one-for-two with a triple and three runs scored and Riley Jones drove in two runs, going one-for-one at the plate. Trenton was in tournament action on Saturday in Faucett, suffering the lone loss in the four-game stretch in the semi-

finals against St. Joseph Christian. Canyon VonBurg (0-1) was credited with the loss, allowing nine runs in the first two innings. Jackson was unable to stop the bleeding out of the bullpen and, after five innings, the game was over via the tournamentâ€™s time limit. Jerrick Stotts led the Trenton offense, going three-forthree with two runs. Lynch was two-for-four with another two RBIs and Noah Lewis had a three-for-three day with a run and an RBI. Otto and Gibler each had two hits in the loss with one of Ottoâ€™s being a double. Sam Schilling, who threw the final two-thirds of an inning in the game, hit the first home run of the season for Trenton - a three-run shot. Despite the loss, Trenton bounced back, picking up a 14-6 win over Tri-County/Gallatin in the third-place game a contest that went just four innings. Schilling returned to the hill to start the game, throwing just one frame. He loaded the bases with a walk and two hits, but didnâ€™t yield a run. Stanton (10) took over from there, throwing the final three innings to pick up the win. He allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks and struck out five. Trentonâ€™s offense did more than enough to guarantee the Bulldogs a win, tallying 14 runs on 13 hits and six walks. Griffin was three-for-four with three RBIs and two runs scored. Otto was two-for-three with a triple, two RBIs and three runs scored and Lewis was two-for-two with a double, three RBIs and three runs scored. Jackson and Schilling each had two hits in the victory.

â€œThere were a lot of runs being scored everywhere (in the first game),â€? Hultman said. â€œThe boys were disappointed, but at the same time they knew they had about five, 10 minutes until our next game so they had to get right back on the horse. A lot of teams would probably be thinking about the
