WRIGHT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Delivering high quality health care to residents in Grundy County and the surrounding communities continues to be the number one priority of Wright Memorial Hospital which, during 2019, was nationally recognized for its efforts while adding even more services to meet the area’s medical needs. Beginning with being named a Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award winner for clinical quality, WMH has added new programs and personnel that hospital officials believe will continue to enhance the patient experience. “We are very proud to receive this award,” WMH CEO Steve Schieber said. “I think it really exemplifies the outstanding quality care we provide to our community but also serves as a commitment moving forward to really maintain that same focus of doing the best we can for this area we serve. “ Programs such as the oncology nurse navigator and Senior Life Solutions were implemented to address needs the hospital felt were essential to better serve the community. The oncology nurse navigator program is the hospital’s newest endeavor and began offering its services at WMH on Oct. 1, 2019. The program is dedicated to easing the physical, spiritual, emotional and financial hardships of living with a cancer diagnosis. The program is offered free to patients using WMH for any cancer-related services and provides resources such as nutrition classes and consultations, assistance with co-pay on oral chemo drugs, fitness/yoga/exercise classes, massages, gas/grocery cards and probably the most important aspect, emotional support. “I think it’s essential that we focus on a condition that really, unfortunately, impacts a great many of us, either personally, or professionally,” Schieber said. “We want to make sure with this particular program that we have all the means available to really address the heart, mind, body, and soul of the individuals suffering with cancer, as well as their loved ones, as they navigate through this difficult time. Trenton native Ashley Ewing is doing a great job as the nurse navigator in the program.” Senior Life Solutions, geared to patients age 65 and over, provides care for individuals with anxiety or depression concerns. Both individual and group support is provided through the program, which is offered at WMH and covers both Trenton, Chillicothe and the surrounding region. Schieber said the success of the program “exceeded expectations,” due in large part to the personnel who provide the assistance to the patients being served. “We’re very proud to have Senior Life Solutions as a service here at Wright Memorial Hospital, covering Trenton, Chillicothe and the surrounding region,” Schieber said. “As many people know, we have an aging population in this region, and for those individuals who are struggling with conditions such as anxiety and depression, I think this has been an important care model that has helped ease their suffering. Robin Dennert and her team have done an excellent job establishing the program.”

The Saint Luke’s Health System, of which both WMH and Hedrick are a part, has been added to the Medica for 2020, which Schieber noted gives local patients an Affordable Care Act exchange plan option. Saint Luke’s has been participating with Medica for the past couple of years, but Medica just expanded into the WMH market this year. “We are very pleased that we have made significant progress in allowing patients in this area an opportunity through an exchange product to receive care here locally at Wright Memorial,” Schieber said. “We are committed to ensuring that coverage is extended to our fullservice area. And in the meanwhile, I would encourage any patient to seek care at Wright Memorial, and we will do everything in our power to help them find the financial assistance they need to receive that care.” He said that WMH encourages all patients needing care to contact the hospital’s financial counselors so that they can receive individual attention to confirm the financial impact of their care on a case-by-case basis. A goal for 2019 was the addition of new medical personnel. Dr. Molly Harp, a primary care provider, and Dr. Khannah Smith, an internist whose focus is adult patients with higher acuity issues, joined the hospital staff this year along with Jordan Jones, a physician’s assistant, and Ashley Stuedle, a nurse practitioner, who joined the staff at the Saint Luke’s Health Systems Mercer County Clinic in Princeton. Two more physicians, Dr. Chris Odenhall and Dr. Jessica Snyder, are scheduled to become a part of the Saint Luke’s/Wright Memorial team in 2021. What all of these individuals have in common is a local connection, which Schieber believes is key in keeping WMH staffed and providing needed medical care to Grundy County and the surrounding area. “We are very pleased with the caliber of physicians we’ve been able to recruit to Wright Memorial Hospital and I think this really helps to address the short-term challenge we’ve had regarding patient’s access to care, but also, we have recruited individuals who are committed to the long-term viability of Wright Memorial and are excited to be here to treat the Trentonarea patients,” Schieber said.” The use of hospitalists was also an area in which WMH placed a greater emphasis. Hospitalists are doctors whose sole focus is on care of patients while in the hospital. Dr. Maureen Weber and Dr. Sourab Chopra filled those roles and, according to Schieber, provided “terrific care” to WMH’s patients during their hospital stay. “I think we’ve also had tremendous success with our hospitalists recruiting,” Schieber continued. “We have two extremely talented, young individuals who are very committed to caring for patients within the hospital and keeping patients close to home. That has been evidenced by the significant increase in the hospital census

Four-Day School Week Gets Approval The Newtown-Harris R-3 Board of Education took action on several items during its meeting on Monday, Jan. 13. According to Superintendent Lucas McKinnis, the board agreed to adopt a four-day school week for the 2020-21 school year. What four-day alternative will be used (Monday-Thursday or Tuesday-Friday) has not been determined, with a committee of staff and administrators looking at which scenario would best meet student needs. A four-day week would require school days to be extended to meet the state

mandated attendance requirements. McKinnis said staff, students and patrons of the school district had been surveyed about the four-day school week proposal, with all groups in support of the change. He said the community survey results saw 85 percent favoring the move from the current five-day schedule. The decision to explore the four-day option was brought in an effort to attract and retain qualified staff members. McKinnis noted many small/rural school districts are unable to pay

National Weather Service Rain and snow expected during the week with highs and lows staying in the low to mid-30s.

He said several schools have already adopted or plan to adopt them next school year. The staff/administration committee will bring a recommendation and additional information to the board at its February meeting, along with calendars for both the Monday-Thursday and Tuesday-Friday options. In other business, the board approved policies addressing bereavement and

maternity disability leave. Homeless Dispute Resolution procedures were adopted and Rachael Spence was appointed as the foster care liaison.

by Abby Oberman, Health Educator Grundy County Health Department As we get further into the winter months, more people have become ill with what they may believe is the flu. Influenza, commonly referred to as “the flu,” is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system - your nose, throat and lungs. Although influenza is commonly called the flu, it's not the same as stomach "flu" viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting. For most people, influenza resolves on its own. But sometimes, influenza and its complications can be deadly. People at higher risk of developing flu complications include: Young children under age six and especially those under 12 months; Adults older than age 65; Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities; Pregnant women and women up to two weeks postpartum; People with weakened immune systems; People who have chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetes; People who are very obese, with a body mass index of 40 or higher. Though the annual influenza vaccine isn't 100 percent effective, it's still your best defense against the flu. The Grundy County Health Department still has vaccine available for all ages. Flu vaccines are available every Tuesday on a walk-in basis from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment needed. Appointments can also be scheduled by calling the health department at 660-359-4196. Other things people can do to protect themselves from the flu is to wash your hands with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are an acceptable alternative. You should also cover your cough or sneeze using your arm and avoid crowded places to reduce your chances of exposure. If you're sick, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever subsides so that you lessen your chance of infecting others. Locally, reported influenza cases in Grundy County are on the rise with six times as many influenza B cases to influenza A cases. Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for flu epidemics each year. Flu activity is high in the U.S. and is expected to continue for weeks. CDC recommends everyone six months of age See Flu, Page 4

SPORTS SAM MARTIN INVITATIONAL

Bulldogs Go To Marceline, Pick Up A Pair Of Victories Opponents’ Open Weights Gives Trenton Wins TRENTON 42 MARCELINE 27 TRENTON 54 POLO 12

It’s not often you can go on the road, win five matches on the mat in two duals combined and return home with a pair of team victories. But, that’s exactly what the Trenton High School wrestling team did on Thursday night. The Bulldogs had wrestlers at all but two weight classes and that lineup depth led to a 42-27 win over Marceline and a 54-12 victory over Polo at Marceline. Trenton went 2-2 in matches contested on the mat against Polo and 3-5 in the same scenario against Marceline. But, in each dual, Trenton had wrestler after wrestler get their hand raised without a match as Polo and Marceline each featured lineups ripe with holes. Despite going just 5-7 in matches on the mat at the event, that record was a bit skewed as some of Trenton’s top wrestlers were handed wins by forfeit. For example Trenton’s two state-ranked wrestlers - Mark Trump, fifth

at 182, and Hunter McAtee, fourth at 106, got just one match each at the triangular. McAtee picked up a quality win, pinning Marceline’s Canaan Wright, who is ranked eighth in the state. Trump, meanwhile, picked up a win by fall over Polo’s James Davis in his lone match of the night. Sam Gibson (170), Coleman Griffin (138) and Brice Gibler (132) had 2-0 nights as well, each getting one win via fall and one via forfeit. Gibson pinned Polo’s Justice Mieirer while Griffin topped Marceline’s Jaxon Schmitt. Gibler defeated Marceline’s Alias Dauber. Caylub Tyler (120), Gavin Chambers (113) and Allen Airey all fell to Marceline opponents and won by forfeit against Polo. Airey and Tyler were pinned while Chambers lost by a 9-2 decision. Timothy Kempton (152) and Kaden Owen (145) each went 0-2, getting pinned in both duals. It wasn’t an easy night for either as Kempton was tasked with facing Marceline’s Hunter Nelson, ranked seventh in the state at 160, while Owen was opposed by Marceline’s Mason Barnett, ranked seventh in the state at 152, and Polo’s Wyatt Seager, ranked third in the state at 145. The two dual victories pushed Trenton to 9-4 overall in head-to-head action for the season. The Bulldogs will go for two more wins tonight (Tuesday) when they travel to the Richmond triangular.

CLIMBING HIGHER McAtee Wins Gold, Bulldogs Place Second At Martin Invitational The Trenton High School wrestling team entered the 2019-2020 season with big aspirations. The fullest lineup Trenton has seen in years, combined with a mix of talented incoming freshmen and experienced returnees, permitted coach Charlie Bacon to aim high when he said he was looking for his team to be a top-10 finisher at the state tournament in February. At the Sam Martin Invitational in Plattsburg on Saturday, Trenton certainly looked capable of the lofty goals set at the season’s onset. Trenton placed five wrestlers in the finals of their respective weights, had one grappler bring home a first-place finish and another finish third. The end result was 179 team points and a second-place standing among the 16 schools represented at the event. “I was really happy with the way we wrestled,” Bacon said. “It felt like we were much more offensive on our feet and we got a lot of escapes from the bottom position. I feel like those two things alone put us in second as a team, along with the fact we got a lot of pins throughout the day. It was a fun day to see the kids start to really put things together.” Freshman Hunter McAtee continued a banner start to his high school wrestling career, placing first at 106 pounds for the Bulldogs’ lone gold medal at the event. McAtee not only won his weight class but dominated it, reaching the finals on backto-back wins by fall. In the finals, McAtee continued to have his way, pinning North Callaway’s Connor Green to claim the title. McAtee now stands at 25-2 overall on the season and is ranked fourth in the state at his weight in the Class 1 rankings. Like McAtee, Gavin Chambers (113), Noah Lewis (160), Sam Gibson (170) and Mark Trump (182) all reached the finals of their weight brackets. Trump, ranked seventh at 182, picked up two wins by fall to reach the finals. There he faced Lawson’s Cade

Killingsworth, the third-ranked 182pounder in the state. Trump lost the clash of ranked wrestlers, but just barely. The two wrestlers battled throughout the match, ending in a 6-4 decision victory for Killingsworth. “At 182, Mark Trump also had a great day,” Bacon said. “Mark placed second with a close loss in the finals match, but really wrestled well. He also picked up his 100th career win as a Trenton Bulldog in the semifinals.” Chambers also came within a decision of winning a title. He pinned his first two opponents to reach the final, but wound up on the wrong end of a 9-5 decision in the final - losing to a Class 2 wrestler from Lafayette in the title match. For Lewis and Gibson, the tournament ended with losses by fall in the championship matches of their respective weights. Gibson was 2-0 on the day entering the final, getting a win by fall and another by an 11-2 major decision. In the title match, however, he ran into Lawson’s Tyler Ross, the top-ranked 170-pounder in the state. Gibson was pinned at the oneminute mark of the match. Lewis, meanwhile, needed three wins to reach the 160-pound finals. He scored pins in his first two matches to reach the semifinals, where he scored a 9-5 decision win to advance to the title match. In the championship, Lewis was pinned by Luke Horn of Wathena-Riverside, a Kansas school. “Noah Lewis placed second at 160, which was his first tournament of the year due to injury,” Bacon said. “It was really nice to have Noah back in the lineup. He is a great kid and we really felt it as a team when he wasn’t in the lineup. “Sam Gibson looked really tough at 170. To place second, as a freshman at 170 pounds in a tournament like that is truly an accomplishment.” Caleb Johnson (220) added to Trenton’s point total with a third-place finish. He picked up a win by fall before falling to Hamilton’s Fisher Nixdorf, ranked eighth in the state, in the semifinals by fall. Trenton’s 220-pounder bounced back, however, picking up a win by fall in the third-place match to end his day on a high note. Brice Gibler (132) and Coleman Griffin (138) each reached the third-place match of their respective weights as well, but

both finished fourth overall. Gibler won by fall in his opening match before dropping a tight 3-1 decision in the semifinals. In the third-place match, Gibler lost by a 13-3 major decision. Griffin, meanwhile, won by fall in the first round before being pinned in the semifinals. In the third-place match, Griffin lost by a 20-1 technical fall. Kaden Owen placed fifth at 152. Owen scored an 11-6 decision to open the day, reaching the quarterfinals of one of the larger brackets at the tournament. There he lost by fall to Marceline’s Hunter Nelson, ranked ninth in the state at that weight. Owen battled back in the consolation bracket, winning by fall in both the consolation semifinals and the fifth-place match to finish the day. Allen Airey (195), Caylub Tyler (120) and Timothy Kempton (145) were all 0-2 on the day to round out the Trenton showing. Trenton’s 179-point total was only bested by Lawson, which won the event with 230.5 team points. Lawson is the fifth-ranked team in the state. WathenaRiverside was third with 129 points and Lafayette and North Callaway rounded out the top five with 128.5 and 120 points, respectively. Trenton will look to build off the momentum of the second-place showing in Plattsburg tonight (Tuesday) as they travel to the Richmond triangular. The Bulldogs are back in tournament action on Saturday, traveling to the Brookfield Tournament. TRENTON GIRLS Trenton had three girls wrestling at the tournament with Libby Fewins leading the way with a second-place finish. Fewins was 4-1 in the 166-pound bracket, earning one win by fall, one win by forfeit and one win by disqualification. Fewins’ only loss of the round-robin style class was a loss by fall to Zoey Chrisman of Brookfield. Kaitlee Lovell (135) was 1-3 overall at the tournament and Allison Yoder (130) went 0-5. “Libby Fewins was our only girls medalist today,” Bacon said. “She placed second overall and had some really good matches. Libby always wrestles hard and is improving with every match. All of our girls saw some tough competition today, which will help prepare them for their district tournament.”

Third Quarter Proves To Be The Difference NO. 2 KCK WOMEN 81 NCMC WOMEN 71 For three quarters on Saturday at the Ketcham Community Center, the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team played evenly with the number-two ranked team in the nation - Kansas City Kansas Community College. The third quarter, however, was the difference. The Blue Devils outscored

the host Pirates 23-13 coming out of halftime and that led to an 81-71 loss for NCMC. The Pirates actually led at the break, but by just a single point at 42-41. The third quarter swung the momentum toward the visitors, however, and North Central could not run KCK down in the fourth. Kortlyn Rounkles led NCMC with 20 points and Brittney McKay finished with 12. Kennedie Kieffer and Dymeria Guillory each scored nine points and Da’Briauna Bables added eight. With the loss, NCMC fell to 12-6 overall on the season. The Pirates return to their home court on Wednesday, playing host to Metropolitan Community College at 5 p.m.

Tigers Avenge Early Loss, Win Title PRINCETON BOYS 49 MERCER BOYS 42 When the Princeton and Mercer boys met for their annual in-county showdown, both teams were undefeated and it was the Mercer Cardinals that kept their season mark unblemished. The two teams met again on Saturday, this time in the finals of the South Harrison Tournament and this time it was the Princeton Tigers who left the court with the victory - and the tournament title. The defensive contest saw Princeton establish a 10-7 first quarter lead and go into the locker room at halftime leading 22-16. Mercer closed to within 33-29 by the end of the third quarter, but a 7-for-8 showing at the free throw line by the Tigers in the fourth was enough to lift Princeton to the win. The Tigers (10-2) were led by 19 points from Preston Thomas. Austin Kelly added eight. Mercer (10-3) got 15

from Camden Hartley and 13 from Jon Johnson. Princeton travels to Unionville tonight (Tuesday) to face Putnam County in Grand River Conference play, Mercer, meanwhile, hosts Grundy R-5 in HDC Conference action on Friday. Mercer girls 39, Princeton girls 36 at South Harrison Tournament: The Mercer girls laid claim to the South Harrison Tournament championship on Saturday in Bethany, defeating Princeton 39-36. The win not only gave Mercer the title, but also avenged a loss to Princeton earlier in the season. Mercer had to hang on in this one as the Cardinals ended up playing the final 18 minutes with just four players on defense. The Cardinals built a 22-8 halftime lead after holding Princeton scoreless for the entire second quarter. Mercer led 30-17 entering the fourth quarter, but with the numbers advantage Princeton began to roar back. The Cardinals had just enough to fend off Princeton, however, taking the championship by three points. Mercer (8-4) got 20 points from Tori Meinecke and eight from Rainey Michael. Princeton (6-5) was paced by 15 from Lauren Krohn. Mercer will host Grundy County on Friday while Princeton dives back into action tonight (Tuesday), traveling to Unionville to face Putnam County.

Chiefs Clench AFC Title, Punch Ticket To Super Bowl Kansas City Will Play For First Title In 50 Years KANSAS CITY 35 TENNESSEE 24 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — With his best imitation of a tightrope walker, Patrick Mahomes high-wired the Kansas City Chiefs into their first Super Bowl since 1970. Oh sure, Mahomes did his usual superb job passing, but it was his 27-yard tap dance down the left sideline late in the first half that gave the Chiefs their first lead. From there, they outran the run-oriented Tennessee Titans and star back Derrick Henry for a 35-24 victory Sunday in the AFC championship. At last, for the third time overall, the Chiefs (14-4) are Super Bowl bound. In two weeks in Miami, they will play San Francisco, which rolled to a 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC title game. “I mean, it’s amazing. It really is,” said Mahomes, who threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns. “To be here, to be a part of Chiefs Kingdom and to be able to do it here at Arrowhead, these people deserve it. And we’re not done yet.” Adding to the joy of the achievement, coach Andy Reid and owner Clark Hunt accepted the Lamar Hunt Trophy — named after his father — emblematic of the AFC title. It was handed over to them by Chiefs Hall of Famer Bobby Bell, with Mahomes and safety Tyrann Mathieu jumping for joy on the makeshift stage. Next up: chasing the Vince Lombardi Trophy. “Very excited and very emo-

tional to win the trophy that has my dad's name on it,” Hunt said. “Yeah, 50 years were too long, but we're going to another Super Bowl. “Chiefs Kingdom, we are going to the Super Bowl.” The Chiefs lost in 1967 in the first AFL-NFL Championship Game — nope, it wasn't called the Super Bowl yet — to the Lombardi Packers 35-10. Three years later, one year after the New York Jets shocked Baltimore to lay claim to the AFL being equal to the long-established NFL, Kansas City was back. This time, it was known as the Super Bowl — indeed, Lamar Hunt is credited with coming up with the name — and his Chiefs hammered Minnesota 23-7 with the typical Wild West offensive flair and a staunch defense. Those are characteristics that helped carry KC this season. Reid isn't as animated as Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who famously urged the Chiefs team to “keep matriculating the ball down the field, boys.” Caught up in the moment Sunday, Reid said, “It's awesome,” before asking the crowd to chant “How about those Chiefs?” Moments later, standout tight end Travis Kelce proclaimed, “You gotta fight for your right to party.” There will be plenty of partying on South Beach for Chiefs Kingdom heading into the championship matchup. “Fired up to go to Miami, got to get on a diet so I can fit into my clothes,” Reid said. “Very proud.” Reid goes back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2004 season, when his Eagles lost to New England. That gap is second longest to Dick Vermeil's hiatus. “So much effort that went into this,” said Reid “It takes an army, it is not one guy at all.”

LAWSON TOURNAMENT :: HAMILTON GIRLS 64, TRENTON GIRLS 51

Hamilton Fends Off Trenton For Title Hornets Hit Free Throws Down The Stretch To Stop ’Dogs

Trenton tried to make a run at topseeded Hamilton in the second half of the Lawson Tournament championship game on Saturday. Hamilton, however, would have none of it. The Hornets hit 13 of their last 16 free throw attempts to thwart any hope of a Trenton comeback as the Bulldogs were relegated to a second-place tournament finish for the second time this season, falling 64-51 to Hamilton. Trenton also finished second at the Gallatin Tournament back in December, dropping that title game to Braymer. That game ended in just a two-point loss for Trenton. This match-up wasn’t as close. Trenton trailed the Hornets 10-7 after a defensive first quarter, but the offense picked up for both teams from that point on. The Bulldogs tallied 13 second quarter points, but found themselves trailing Hamilton 28-20 at the break. A trio of Hamilton three-pointers in the third quarter threatened to bury the Bulldogs, but nine points from Maci Moore and five from Lexi Whitaker kept Trenton reasonably close entering the fourth quar-

ter. Trenton couldn’t shrink the lead any in the final frame, however, as Hamilton repeatedly made good on trips to the free throw line. “We competed really hard, but gave (Hamilton) a lot of extra opportunities,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “We also had some breakdowns on what we wanted to do defensively and it led to some easy buckets for them. Definitely a lot of credit goes to Hamilton, though. They are a good team.” Moore finished with 23 points to lead Trenton while Whitaker added 11. McKayla Blackburn and Chandler Lynch each had six points, Teya Cooksey added three and Allena Allen finished with two. Hamilton’s Nora Ford lead all scorers, finishing with 31 points. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 8-5 overall on the season. SEMIFINAL TRENTON 42, CARROLLTON 30 In the Lawson Tournament semifinals on Thursday, Trenton was hit with a challenge. The upstart Carrollton Trojans, seeded sixth, were looking for another upset after knocking off third-seeded North Platte in the opening round. The Trojans’ plan was to pack the lane and attempt to take Moore away from the second-seeded Bulldogs. Trenton has struggled at times this year to find points outside of Moore, who collected the 1,000th point of her career just two nights earlier. With Carrollton focusing so hard on Moore, it became obvious pretty early that Trenton would not find a lot of points in this game. But Trenton was up to the challenge, getting defense and senior leadership in waves to propel the Bulldogs to a 42-30

victory. Moore did not score in the opening quarter and had just four field goals all night, finishing with 13 points for Trenton. Seniors Blackburn and Whitaker each produced double-digit point nights, however, as Trenton skated by with a 12-point win to advance to the tournament’s title game for the fourth year in a row. Trenton led just 7-6 after the initial eight minutes and 20-13 at halftime. The Bulldogs would outscore Carrollton in both the third and fourth quarter, though not by much, and the game was still very much in question until late in the going. Blackburn consistently delivered points for Trenton at big moments. She would lead Trenton with 15 points, four assists and three steals. Seven of her points came in the fourth quarter. Her three-pointer in that frame, one of two she connected on in the contest, proved to be the dagger for Trenton. “McKayla is such a great competitor and was incredible on both ends of the floor for us,” Cool said. “We needed some late game points to come from somewhere and she stepped up in a big way.” Whitaker added 10 points and Moore had eight rebounds and two blocked shots to go with her 13 points. Lynch and Allen had two points each to round out Trenton’s total. Trenton will return to the court tonight, playing host to Polo in a Grand River Conference match-up. The Bulldogs defeated Polo 49-33 at the Gallatin Tournament back on Dec. 5. Trenton enters the contest still undefeated in league play at 3-0. Polo is 7-7 overall and 1-2 within the GRC. Tip off in Trenton is set for 6 o’clock.

Rotary Club Holds Meeting The Grundy County Breast Cancer Support Group was the topic of a program presented at the Thursday,â€ˆJan. 16 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. Dave Bain was the program chairman. Cindy Jennings and Ruby Walker presented information about the group, which was officially formed in February 2018 to provide assistance to those in Grundy County diagnosed with breast cancer. Mrs. Walker noted that 14 women in Grundy County are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, which is one of the highest rates in the state. The local support group has several services available, providing monetary assistance through gas cards as well as a bag of items both women said they found useful during their breast cancer treatments. Mrs. Jennings said the group has received monetary support from several organizations, businesses and individuals, which is used to pay for costs associated with their efforts. They have a fund set up through the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, allowing tax-exempt donations to be received. The group also sponsors â€œPink Outâ€? events at area school districts, which not only promotes awareness of breast cancer but allows the group to sell t-shirts as a fundraiser. A â€œstoreâ€? that provides items such as prosthetics, wigs, bras, etc. for cancer patients is also located at the Community Action Partnership of Northwest Missouri (formerly Community Action Agency) and all available items are distributed at no cost. Mrs. Jennings also told about a recent honor the group has received through Cenex Corp., involving its work and the community and resulting in a donation to the organization. Additional information about the award is to be made public by Cenex at a later date. Scott Wilson, manager of Grundy Electric Cooperative, will present the program at the Jan. 23 club meeting.

Dear Annie: People who complain about giving gifts and not getting one in return should remember an old saying: If you are giving something and expecting something in return, then it is not giving; it is business. -- Good Ol' Saying Dear Good Ol' Saying: May our readers find the pleasure in giving to others without expecting something in return. That good feeling in and of itself is a gift. Dear Annie: A writer asked about giving a gift to someone who has everything. We think of gift-giving as expensive and impressive. It's not. The best gift can be some small trinket that brings back a happy memory that you shared with a person or persons. We spent one Christmas on a small foreign island. The only thing open on Christmas Eve was a small 7-Eleven store. We made the spending limit $5. It's hard to find anything for that amount, even in a 7-Eleven. One gift was a small set of Christmas tree lights. Back at

the motel, my wife broke off a small branch and stuffed it in a coffee can. We lit it up. It looked just like the Christmas tree in the "Peanuts" comic strip. We had a great Christmas and many laughs over the years about our little tree. My greatest gift was the last photo of my wife. Although she was extremely sick, she sat up and smiled. It now sits on my desk and I look at it every day and smile. It's a great way to start a day. -- Greatest Gift Dear Greatest Gift: I am very sorry about the loss of your wife. What a touching and beautiful way to honor and remember her. It sounds like you had a true love with a true artist. Making a Christmas tree out of a coffee can -- I love it. Thank you for sharing your letter. I hope that it inspires others to cherish the memories they make with their loved ones while they are here on earth. Dear Annie: Can you stand one more letter about guests helping with the cleanup after a meal? I do appreciate the offer of assistance, but I have

PCs spike as Win 7 dies

The end of Windows 7 may be frustrating for individuals and businesses still using it, but it has brought good fortune to PC makers. Global shipments of PCs, including desktops and laptops, jumped 2.7% in 2019 — the first time annual sales of traditional computers have grown since 2011, according to the research group IDC. Sales began slumping nearly a decade ago as mobile phones became ubiquitous. A large part of the PC increase, analysts say, is due to businesses finally updating their fleets of computers to newer models as Microsoft ends support for the once-popular

Windows 7 operating system. Microsoft stopped issuing free security updates for Windows 7 on Jan. 14, and some Windows 7 PCs are too old to get Windows 10. “We expect this growth to continue through this year even after Windows 7 support comes to an end this month, as many businesses in emerging regions such as China, Eurasia and the emerging Asia/Pacific have not yet upgraded,” Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in a statement. Research from both Gartner and IDC shows Lenovo in the lead for shipments during the last three months of 2019, followed by HP, Dell, Apple.

Businesses are Lenovo buying computers after years of HP using older equipment Dell running Windows 7. Microsoft Apple ended free support for the Acer Group system this Others month. 0 Source: IDC

my own efficient method for cleaning up after a meal in my small kitchen. Guests who insist on helping by clearing the table and putting things wherever there's a bare spot on the counter only complicate and prolong the process. I have one friend who totally gets my system, and I have no problem with her jumping in, but everyone else makes it more chaotic. So, dear guests, your sincere offers to help will always be appropriate and appreciated, but please be gracious enough to respect your host's response if they ask you to relax and let them handle it. -- Kitchen Cleanup Dear Kitchen Cleanup: You sound like a great host. All that your guests have to do is to enjoy themselves and relax. I'm glad that you acknowledged and appreciated their offer to help, but you were clear that you do not need their help and just want them to relax. What a lovely evening.
