Homecoming, Election Among Top Stories Police Editor’s Note: This is part three of a multi-part story, recapping the top stories in Trenton and Grundy County during 2018. September Former Spickard R-2 school teacher and administrator Ruth Ann Shipps was selected to serve as the grand marshal of the 2018 Spickard Fall Festival parade. The annual festival included the selection of royalty that included Jakob Holtzclaw, king; Kennedy Schneiderheinze, queen; Alex Holtzclaw, prince; and Kinlea Griffin, princess. Dave and Ruby Woodson were selected to serve as the grand marshals of the 2018 Trenton High School Homecoming Parade, with Karissa Brock and Jadan Whitney named the THS Homecoming King and Queen during Homecoming festivities. The Trenton R-9 Board of Education voted to seek requests for qualifications for architectural services as the board began looking at future projects such as a performing arts center and renovation work. In October, the board selected Ellison-Auxier of St. Joseph as the firm to provide the services. Eight members of the Trenton High School Choir earned all-district honors following auditions at Missouri Western State University. They included Kasie Otto, Emma Gilham, Trager Leeper, Jonin Villacampa, Aiden Maxey, Elijah Merrin, Caleb Johnson and Lawrence Link. Trenton resident and veteran Kris Schmidt was recognized as the “Hero of the Game” at the University of Missouri-Georgia football game. R&R Farms (the Loretta Ray family) and Bill and Connie Anderson and fam-

ily were recognized as Century Farm recipients by the Grundy County Farm Bureau and University of Missouri Extension. After a few weeks of study and discussion, the Trenton City Council voted 6-1 to decrease electric rates by 5 percent, effective with the November billing. At the same meeting, the council agreed, after four votes and two mayoral vetoes, to have an electric rate study conducted. In November, the council agreed to not conduct a rate study. October The rain didn’t stop the annual Wright Run 5K/10K from attracting 106 runners and walkers. Winners of the event included Ethan Keuhn, male, 5K; Kristi Ewing, emale, 5K; and Jennifer Dickson, female, 10K. Around $8,000 was raised during the event, with proceeds to be used to support the purchase of equipment and improvements for WMH. It was a beautiful weekend for the 2019 Missouri Day Festival, which included a parade, band festival and contests. Dr. John Holcomb was selected to serve as the grand marshal of the parade, which included 19 bands. The home of John and Mary Sue McCullough at 605 W. Crowder Rd., was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home, known as the Wolz House, was the subject of a feature story in the R-T. Trenton High School graduate Sara Faubion Stipkovits was the guest speaker at the Bright Futures Trenton volunteer recognition breakfast, telling those in attendance of the difference teachers and volunteers made in her life
as she grew up in Trenton. Lynn Griffin was recognized as the 2018 Champion of the Year and Hodge Presbyterian Church was named the 2018 Partner of the Year. November Even with no local contests, voters turned out in force for the November General Election, with 61 percent of registered Grundy County voters going to the polls. That number was the highest since the November 1992 General Election. Voters were voicing their opinions in the U.S. Senate race between Republican Josh Hawley and incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill, as well as on three medical marijuana issues and a transportation tax. Hawley was elected and one of the medical marijuana questions passed, however, the transportation tax was defeated. Grundy R-5 Superintendent Rob Deaver announced that he would be retiring from his position at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Deaver has served as the superintendent for 14 years. Dr. Bev Hooker, who has served as the director of the Green Hills Head Start program for 20 years, announced her retirement, effective Jan. 31, 2019. She was granted emerita status by the NCMC Board of Trustees in recognition of her work. Trenton R-9 Superintendent Dan Wiebers announced his resignation, effective June 30, 2019. Wiebers, who has been the R-9 superintendent for four years, accepted the superintendent’s position in the Chillicothe R-2 School District. Wiebers had also previously served as the Trenton High School principal for nine years.

Wife Cares For Husband
Strong Bond Aids Couple In Alzheimer’s Battle SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — It's been nearly 60 years since 18-year-old Ernie Cooper walked into an ice cream parlor wearing a baseball uniform and flexing his muscles. The 15-year-old girl behind the counter couldn't help but take notice. "He was quite the catch," Alberta Cooper recalled to the Springfield News-Leader , smiling at her husband. "He batted his big brown eyes. At the time he had dark hair and the longest eyelashes you've ever seen. Now his eyes are milk chocolate, but they are still very nice. He is still my gorgeous hunk." Alberta eyed the reporter's notebook. Don't put in too many details, she said. She doesn't want "any of these old widows" to come after her Ernie. Alberta and Ernie Cooper — known to friends as 'Bert and Ernie' — are living out their golden years in a home they built 13 years ago near Branson. Sometimes, Ernie doesn't recognize their home. He frantically starts packing and tells Alberta they are in someone else's house and must leave quickly. That happens a few times every week, Alberta said.
Ernie has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Their daughter and son-inlaw moved into their basement a few years ago to help the couple, who are now 74 and 77. Still, the disease has been taxing on Bert and Ernie's loving relationship. "At times he didn't know who I was," Alberta said. "That is hard." According to Jacob Simburger, spokesperson for the Alzheimer's Association Greater Missouri Chapter, there are 110,000 individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia in Missouri, with about 316,000 caregivers providing unpaid care to individuals. Simburger, who met the Coopers recently, called their story "one of love, hope and perseverance." Bert had a care consultation (a one-on-one meeting with an Alzheimer's Association social worker to discuss planning and resources), Simburger said. And that social worker shared the Coopes' story with Simburger, who was looking for a unique family to highlight in a letter to donors. "I met with Bert and Ernie at their home and we instantly clicked and have stayed in
Superintendent Input Meeting
touch since then," Simburger explained in an email. "Our Care Consultant follows up every few months with families she helps to make sure they're doing OK and get them plugged in with appropriate services as needed. So Bert will be connected with us going forward." Alberta said she really appreciates the information and support she receives from the Alzheimer's Association. "You need to get a support group around you, because you can't do it by yourself," she said. "I love him to pieces and I'm so glad he is here. But sometimes you just need somebody to hold your other hand." The Coopers celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary on Dec. 19. Alberta said they began dating not long after that day Ernie walked into the ice cream parlor. "He gave me a ring when I was a senior. We were going to get married. I even bought the dress," Alberta recalled. "But I gave his ring back because I thought it wouldn't work. We were just too different, even though I loved him." The two continued to date. They also dated other people. See Couple, Page 7

The Trenton City Council started a lot of conversation within the community when it accepted, after three votes, a bid from WCA for trash removal services. The bid was lower than the one submitted by Rapid Removal, which had the contract for the previous five years. In December, the council voted to extend its agreement with Rapid Removal while agreeing to allow the city to explore its options. In addition, the council voted to continue its recycyling program, something council members had agreed to discontinue at a previous meeting. Dr. Christopher Small was announced as the new executive director of the Green Hills Community Action Agency. Dr. Small took a position vacated by the resignation of Aaron Franklin. December Trenton resident Cindy Roy wrote a first-hand account of her trip to Washington D.C. to help decorate the White House for the holidays. Mrs. Roy was among those who helped decorate the oval office and said she learned of the opportunity from Adam Kirby, a Trenton native who had served as a White House intern. Republican-Times readers learned that Wright Memorial Hospital had contracts with two doctors, Dr. Molly Harp and Dr. Khanna Smith, who planned to join the Hospital in 2019. In addition, WMH CEO Steve Schieber said a third physician, Dr. Chris Odehnal, planned to join the staff in 2021 following a residency in Springfield. The story also addressed new and on-going programs at the hospital.
A meeting for patrons of the Trenton R-9 School District interested in providing input into the selection of the next school superintendent will be held this afternoon (Wednesday). Dr. Bob Watkins of the Missouri School Boards Association will host the meeting, which will be held at 3 p.m. in the THS Commons. MSBA is assisting the R-9 Board of Education in the selection process to replace Dan Wiebers, who is leaving the district in June to take the superintendent’s position in Chillicothe.
Budget Meetings Set The Grundy County Commission will be holding extra meetings during the next two weeks as they develop the 2019 county budget. The commission will open the budget hearing for public comment at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 2 and will meet with Grundy County Assessor Kathy Veatch at 9 a.m, Public Administrator Jill Eaton at 9:30 a.m., Circuit Clerk and Recorder Becky Stanturf at 1 p.m. and Prosecuting Attorney Carrie Lamm Clark at 2 p.m. Meetings set for Thursday, Jan. 3 include Associate Circuit Judge Steve Hudson at 10 a.m., oroner Dewayne Slater at 1:30 p.m and Third Circuit Judge Tom Alley at 2 p.m.The commission plans to meet with Sheriff Rodney Herring at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 7.
Bill Would Cap Sales Tax KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri state senator will seek during the upcoming legislative session to cap the amount of sales taxes that local governments can collect. St. Louis-area Republican Sen. Andrew Koenig already filed legislation to cap the combined local sales tax for any Missouri city at a little more than 7.2 percent,.Koenig said he thinks there are too many taxing jurisdictions in Missouri, where both cities and smaller jurisdictions such as community improvement districts can impose sales taxes. Koenig's bill would exempt from the cap taxes collected mostly from visitors, such as hotel and rental car taxes. A similar measure to cap local and state sales taxes at 14 percent failed last year.

Officer Deaths Rise In 2018 WASHINGTON (AP) — More police officers have died in the line of duty this year in the United States than in 2017, according to recently released. The most common cause of death was gunfire, and vehicular accidents claimed nearly as many officers' lives. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said in a report that 144 federal, state and local officers have died so far in 2018. That figure represents roughly a 12 percent increase from the 129 who died in 2017. The majority of the officers who died were either shot — 52 this year, up from 46 in 2017 — or fatally injured in car or motorcycle crashes, which accounted for 50 deaths. Other fatalities involved heart attacks, strokes, drownings and cancer and other illnesses among those who responded to the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Of the officers who were shot, eight were killed during investigative activity and six were killed while responding to calls of a domestic or public disturbance, according to the report. Two were fatally shot while serving warrants, two died while handling or transporting prisoners and two others were inadvertently shot by other officers. Craig Floyd, the fund's chief executive officer, called the increase in deaths disappointing after a decline in 2017. "Sadly this reminds us that public safety is a dangerous job and can come at a very steep price," Floyd said in a statement accompanying the report. "We must never take the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers for granted, and we must remember the families of the fallen who are left behind." Of the officers who died in traffic-related incidents, 32 were killed in crashes involving another vehicle and 14 were struck while outside their vehicle. An additional four were killed in motorcycle crashes. The officers who died in 2018 include a sheriff's deputy in Sacramento County, California, killed in a shootout at an auto parts store; a Greensboro, North Carolina, police officer killed in a car crash while responding to a call for a robbery; and a Greene County, Missouri, sheriff's deputy who drowned when his car was swept away by rising water. The states that experienced the highest number of officer fatalities were Texas, California, Florida and New York, with 11 fatalities each.

THE BEST OF 2018
Trenton Softball Run Highlighted 2018
Maci Moore stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning of the Class 2 state championship softball game. With the season on the line on the grandest stage, Moore’s team had never needed her as bad. With one swing, Moore tied the game, launching a solo home run over the left-field wall. Though Trenton ultimately fell in the championship game, Moore’s home run perfectly personified the 2018 Trenton High School softball team’s never-give-up, never-say-die attitude that launched the Bulldogs on a memorable run to the state final four. Trenton’s run to the state title game captivated a school and community alike and represented the high-water mark for Trenton athletics in 2018. Though Moore’s home run in the state championship game proved to be the most dramatic moment of the year, it was hardly the lone highlight. Trenton littered the road to Springfield with such acts, be-it Moore’s iconic blast of Lathrop’s Brooke Huitt in the sectional round of the state playoffs, Lexi Whitaker’s two home runs aimed at an RV beyond the rightcenterfield fence in the state quarterfinals in Holden or Mykah Hurley’s mad dash around the bases in the state semifinals. Even before Trenton got to the state playoffs, the softball team was making memories, again dominating the Grand River Conference - they won the championship game 12-0 over Stanberry - and winning tournaments in Cameron and Trenton. The team’s final record was 27-3, with the 27 wins breaking the school record. Trenton had team records with 268 runs, 31 home runs and 17 shutouts. The senior class’ four-year record of 97-13 also set a new school mark. Individually, Trenton had players break eight career records and eight single-season records. Ainsley Tolson and Salem Croy were first-team allstate selections; Moore and Taylor Richman made the second team. They were joined on the all-region team by Hurley and Whitaker. Sidney Lynch and Chandler Lynch joined those six players on the all-district team. The Bulldogs also placed seven players on the All-GRC team. “From the first week of practice this year felt different,� Trenton Head Coach John Cowling said. “Our seniors were determined to raise our

level of play. Special groups that fit together on and off the field at this level are rare. This was a season all of us will remember.� TERRIFIC TENNIS The Trenton boys tennis team hadn’t claimed a medal at state since 1982 when the Bulldogs took to the court this past spring. That would change by the end of a truly remarkable season, however, as Kade Ockenfels and Creed Houghton combined to pick up an eighth-place finish in the individual doubles bracket at the MSHSAA state championships. During the 2018 season the Bulldogs ran a 15-4 overall record, captured a team district championship for the second year in a row and sent a program-record four players to the state tournament as Gabe Swann and Nick Shields joined Houghton and Ockenfels in Springfield. Trenton’s team season ended in sectionals as in the previous two team seasons, but the Bulldogs season was again a highlight for the school. STATE MEDALISTS Trenton’s tennis medals weren’t the only ones brought back during the spring as the school saw four track
and field athletes and one golfer garner some hardware. Lathan Croy enjoyed a tremendous season on the golf course - his final season as a Bulldog - culminating with a sixth-place finish at the state golf tournament in New Bloomfield. The state medal was the second for Croy, who also medaled at the state tournament in 2017. Croy became the first Trenton boys golfer to place inside the top 15 at state twice and just the third golfer at Trenton, boys or girls, to do that. Croy’s sixth-place finish also represented the highest finish for a Trenton boys golfer at state since 1936, when Chester Clark was second. On the track, Trenton’s Kristi Ewing and Lexi Whitaker each earned state medals in the 400-meter dash. Ewing placed third in Jefferson City with a time of 58.2, which broke the school record formerly held by Chandler Wilson at 59.14. Whitaker also eclipsed the old record, finishing with a fifth-place medal in the event and a time of 58.89. In the field, Trenton saw Salem Croy place sixth in the javelin with a throw of 118-6 while Jadan Whitney, Trenton’s lone qualifier on the boys’

side, was seventh in the shot put with a throw of 50-0. He also qualified in the discus, where he just missed a medal and placed ninth with a throw of 142-8. WHITNEY WRESTLES Whitney grabbed two state medals in 2018. His shot put medal was the second after he placed third at 195 pounds in the state wrestling tournament in February. Whitney just missed a trip to the state finals at his weight, falling by a 3-1 decision in the semifinals, but he battled back to win two hard-fought decision victories and leave Columbia with his first-career statewrestling medal. Whitney was joined as a wrestling state medalist by Mason Owen, who was sixth at 220 pounds, earning his second-straight state medal after placing fourth the year before. Mark Trump was also a state qualifier for Trenton in 2018. TOLSON’S TIME Ainsley Tolson started and ended 2018 with milestones on the basketball court. In January, she scored her 1,000th career point. In December, she broke Rebekah Capeder’s alltime scoring record at Trenton High
School with her 1,391st career point. In between the two individual milestones, Trenton’s girls basketball team enjoyed another Grand River Conference championship, where the Bulldogs once again defeated Stanberry. Though the Trenton season was cut short in late February with a loss in overtime in the district championship game, the Bulldogs appear poised to avenge that defeat in 2019. Trenton went 10-0 to close the year as the 2018-2019 season got under way. WERTHEN’S FINALE In high school golf, only the elite qualify for the state tournament three years in a row. Werthen Gass put herself in that classification in the fall, qualifying for the MSHSAA Girls Golf Championships for the third season in a row. Gass, a senior, overcame some early struggles at state to shoot a 192, placing her 28th overall - the best finish at state in her three trips. Prior to her first trip to state as a sophomore, Trenton had failed to send a girls golfer to state in each of the previous three years. Gass broke that streak and started one of her own, advancing each year from her sophomore season on. REGION CHAMPIONS For North Central Missouri College, 2018 brought a pair of Region 16 championships. The women’s basketball team won the first region title for the program in three years while the men’s golf team - in just its second year - won its first region title. The women’s basketball team fell twice to St. Louis during the regular season, but when the Pirates and Archers met a third time in the Region 16 championship game in Jefferson City, it was North Central coming away with the 82-77 victory and the Region 16 championship plaque. The North Central women were unable to get into the national tournament, falling one win shy, but it was literally a banner year for the Pirates, who added to their collection on the wall in the Ketcham Community Center. The men’s golf team, meanwhile, placed first in the Region 16 Tournament by topping runner-up Mineral Area by 42 strokes. Lewis Hopkinson, eighth; Jasper Van Der Zon, ninth; and Scott Swayne, 11th, all qualified for the national tournament at the event. Van Der Zon led the Pirates at nationals, placing 51st at the event in Foley, AL.

ear Annie he is very unhappy, sometimes calling me for help, but later has gotten upset with me. The girlfriend is constantly harassing him over our friendship, so now he will not speak to me. I have called adult protective services; I don't know what else I can do. I am heartbroken that I have been cast off to the side. I thought I was his friend, his sister. The worst part is knowing that he is being abused and suffering in silence. I've tried to contact him, but he gets very upset over that. I feel as if I have lost my best friend, my brother, to a woman who treats him horribly. -- Missing My Brother in Wisconsin Dear Missing: Calling adult protective services was the right thing to do, and you should continue to call to report incidents of abuse. I understand that you feel hurt, but it's important that you not take this personally. He has not cast you aside; he has become a victim of abuse. Be careful not to try to force his behavior, e.g., issuing an ultimatum that you can't continue being friends with him while he
Dear Annie: I have a good friend who has been like a kid brother to me. He has always been a very thoughtful, caring, respectful man whom I've gotten along great with. This man has autism and borderline intellectual functioning, so I have always explained things so that he can better understand. I have had him over for a meal on several occasions; we enjoy playing board games, and I have taken him on a few day trips. We care deeply for each other, not in a romantic way but like siblings. Enter his onagain, off-again girlfriend, who is physically, verbally and financially abusive. She has had him in tears, left marks on him and broken his glasses. She isolates him. She is an alcoholic whose behavior gets very bizarre, as well as dangerous, when she is drunk. I have tried to get him to think for himself regarding her, but I have also told him that he doesn't deserve to be hit or called nasty names or ridiculed. He has confided to me that

Twitter: Worse to come?
Twitter has largely escaped the type of public and regulatory scrutiny seen this year with Facebook. That’s in part because it’s a smaller service with far fewer users — 336 million to Facebook’s 2.27 billion. It’s possible this could change in 2019. Last week, Twitter’s stock suffered one of its worst declines of the year after a report by the humanrights group Amnesty International gained traction. The report said Twitter has permitted a toxic online culture that allows pervasive abuse of women. It got Wall Street’s attention when Citron Research editor Andrew Left cited it last Thursday in calling Twitter the “Harvey Weinstein” of social

dates her. That would only leave him feeling more isolated. So as hard as it is to watch him be subjected to this abuse, try to stay in the picture. You can help him make a safe escape plan when he's ready. See the article "Supporting Someone Who Keeps Returning to an Abusive Relationship" on the National Domestic Violence Hotline website (https://www.thehotline.org), or call the hotline (800-799-7233) for guidance. Dear Annie: Your explanation of EMDR psychotherapy was excellent, but beyond EMDR is a new alternative known as Havening Techniques. Many therapists have found this to be an effective alternative in helping people heal their wounds from past emotional traumas. You can learn more at https://www.havening.org. -Dr. Robert B. Nolan Jr. Dear Dr. Robert: Thank you for the tip. Though I cannot vouch for the efficacy of Havening Techniques personally, I'd encourage readers to learn more and talk to their counselors if they feel it might be a good treatment modality for them.
media. Twitter’s stock plunged 13 percent. Amnesty and data firm Element AI scoured through 288,000 tweets sent to nearly 800 female politicians and journalists in 2017. Based on this sample, Element calculated that 1.1 million abusive or problematic tweets were sent to those women last year. Twitter has said that it’s strengthened its policies against hate and abuse and has made progress in the past year, though executives acknowledge that more needs to be done. Facebook has thrown a lot more money and resources at its problems around privacy, hate and elections interference. It may turn out that Twitter needs to do more, too. 2019 projections Net Revenue income growth

But Ernie didn't give up on Alberta. A few years later, when she was 20, Alberta and Ernie tied the knot. The young couple moved from St. Joseph to Kentucky. Their first home was an apartment over a garage. "Our bathroom was so small, you had to back in," she said, laughing. "You sit on the pot and wash your hands and soak your feet all at the same time." As she talked, Ernie's eyes stayed fixed on his wife. The only time he quit smiling was when Alberta became emotional while talking about Ernie's military service. Ernie packed parachutes with the 101st Airborne in the 1960s, she was saying. There was a time she feared he would be sent to Vietnam. Remembering that fear brought tears to Alberta's eyes. "Why are you crying?" Ernie asked. Alberta wiped her eyes and reassured her husband. "I have tears of joy, too," she told him. "I'm just real thankful." Alberta talked at length about Ernie's successful career as a staff representative in the steel industry. "He was very good at that," she said proudly. "They would
give him the trouble cases, the difficult ones. He was like the peacemaker." She said later that it makes her sad that Ernie doesn't seem to remember how good he was at his job. The couple has two daughters: Christi and Marca. They now have four grandchildren. Christi and her husband, Stoney Hays, left their home in Minnesota to come live with the Coopers and help care for Ernie. "They don't act like it's been a struggle at all. They are absolutely fantastic," Alberta said. "I can't believe all the love we have around us." Alberta and Ernie enjoy living in Taney County. Their living room has large windows that overlook a forest. "We just look out and see nature," she said. "I just love being with him. I feel so blessed." They dance in the living room every day. "It brings back the romance," Alberta said. "He'll sing to me. That is always nice." "I knew when I got married it was going to be forever," she said. "He tells me so many times during the day how much he loves me. And he'll say, 'Why are you so beautiful?' And I'll say, 'Because I'm in love.'" There are struggles, though.

Ernie likes papers, Alberta said. He sometimes gets hold of the bills and puts them elsewhere. Once, he took Alberta's medicine. "I don't know why," he said. "I don't use that medicine." He doesn't wander, Alberta said. But once he went downstairs in the middle of the night, woke up his daughter and asked if she wanted cookies. "He scared the living daylights out of her," Alberta said. Alberta is continually trying to find gentle and loving ways to help Ernie without hurting his feelings. "I had a stroke at 55 and Ernie took care of me," she said. "I just feel like in our lifetime, we take turns." Alberta recalled a recent conversation with her daughter about marriage being for better or for worse. "I said, 'I don't think this is for worse. This is just another day, another thing in our life,'" Bert said. "I still have him. He is so loving."
